"Can anyone explain to me why so many cows suddenly appeared on the street?"
In the room, Kawakami Yota, who was sitting in the main seat, asked with a serious expression.
However, the response he got was silence. He was so angry that he slammed the table on the spot and cursed: "Baga! What else can you losers do besides pretending to be dead?"
Seeing that Kawakami Yota was really angry, Yoshida Ryo quickly glanced at District Chief Shen who was sitting at the end and asked: "District Chief Shen, such a big thing happened in your jurisdiction. As the district chief, Should you say something?"
As soon as these words came out, District Chief Shen immediately jumped up from his seat and replied hesitantly: "Say...what did you say?"
"That's up to you, but I think you have at least three things to say!"
"Three sentences? Three sentences...I shouldn't accept bribes from Ishikawa."
"That's not it!"
"I was the one who forced him to overturn his previous confession."
"That's not the case either!"
"It would have been nice if it hadn't rained yesterday!"
"Why?"
"If it hadn't rained yesterday, the patrol police on the street would not have left work early. Even if the cattle were also frightened by the gunfire later, the situation would not be as chaotic as yesterday."
"District Chief Shen, do you want to tell me that what happened yesterday were all accidents?"
"Don't say it's Tai-kun Yoshida, I don't believe it either, but it just happened..."
"idiot!"
Just when Ryo Yoshida was about to curse, Gao Bin beside him seemed to be talking to himself: "What if those were not accidents, but had been planned long ago?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned over. Kawakami Yota narrowed his eyes and asked: "Gao Sang, what do you mean by this?"
However, Gao Bin did not explain immediately. Instead, he had already prepared something and handed it to Kawakami Yota.
"This is?"
"Check-in and check-out records of the Peace Hotel. Just yesterday afternoon, a Soviet woman named Natasha checked out. And based on the hotel staff's description of her previous behavior, this woman is likely to be from the Soviet Union. A spy sent."
Hearing this, Kawakami Yota's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he silently signaled Gao Bin to continue.
"Captain Kawakami, this is what I think. Since the war between Germany and the Soviet Union last month, the international situation we are facing has become more and more severe day by day. And it is not just us, but the Soviet Union as well. It may even lead to the destruction of the country. risks, and what are they most afraid of now? It is not the German army that has already fought fiercely with them, but our Kwantung Army!"
"That's why they set up such a big trap by hook or by crook?"
"Yes, not only that, but I also seriously suspect that this attack on the Fengtian Ordnance Factory was planned and led by people from the Soviet Union who were instructed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Do you think, if it was just a group of bandits, how could they have the courage to attack the soldiers? Is it an important industrial site? To say the least, even if they had taken the courage of a bear and decided to launch an attack, if no one had made plans in advance and participated in command on the spot, it would have been impossible for those rabble-rousers who usually only know how to rob homes and houses. If you escape intact, you may not even be able to enter the factory gate, right?"
Hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement, and Kawakami Yota also quickly lowered his voice to discuss with the other two members of the verification team.
After a long time, Kawakami Yota turned to Gao Bin and said: "Deputy Director Gao, if this matter is really as you analyzed, the matter will be serious, and it may even rise to the international level. In this way
Okay, you can formulate a written report on your views on this incident as soon as possible, submit it to the headquarters, and let the commander make his own decision."
"yes!"
…
At the same time, in a teahouse on Bagua Street, as soon as Momoi Sana reached the second floor, she saw Li Qiang sitting by the window waving to her.
"It's really yours, I can't believe that you actually completed the task! To be honest, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad now!"
"Of course you should be happy!" Li Qiang smiled and took out something and handed it to Momoi Sana.
"What's this?"
"Transaction list!"
"So many?" Momoi Sana looked at the dense numbers on the list and couldn't help being surprised and said in disbelief.
"That's right!" Li Qiang replied with a proud look on his face, "If you say that these bandits are not good at anything else, they are strong in killing people and stealing goods. If you keep a few more trucks, you will have to empty out everything in your warehouse!
"
Momoi Sana couldn't help but snorted, "If that were the case, everyone would be able to tell there's something going on here, let alone the inspection team!"
Just as she was talking, Momoi Sana suddenly said "Huh", then pointed at the rows of numbers at the end of the list, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are these numbers?"
"This, I helped those bandit leaders open an account at Citibank in the United States. You just need to transfer the money to the account in accordance with the distribution ratio above."
"Are you so cautious? Why, are you afraid that I will burn bridges by crossing the river, or kill people and silence them?"
"Can you?" Li Qiang asked.
"That's impossible to say!" Momoi Sana said half-jokingly, and then changed the subject again, "But the limelight has been tight these two days, and such a large capital flow will definitely arouse the suspicion of the verification team. I think it's still
Wait a few more days, wait for the storm to pass..."
However, before Momoi Sana could finish her words, Li Qiang interrupted her directly, "I'm afraid this won't work. You also know that those bandits are only money-loving ones. If they don't fulfill their promises in time, they will
But I can do anything, but if it affects Mr. Matsuoka’s plan, the gain will outweigh the loss.”
"But the verification team..."
"Isn't it just a matter of capital flow? It's simple. Just say to the outside world that it is a special allocation from your president to resume production as soon as possible. This will not only not arouse the suspicion of the inspection team, but also allow the senior officials of the Kwantung Army Command to see
As for the positive attitude of your club, I think this alone is worth a lot of money, right? As for the verification team, I guess they are now full of thoughts on how to communicate. At this time, you only need to take advantage of their weaknesses and invest in them.
Well, I think it should be done. In addition, I left three tips for you in the room. If you really don’t have a clue, you can follow the plan then."
"Mr. Ming, are you... too thoughtful? In that case, I have nothing more to say. I will go to the bank early tomorrow morning. Do you want to come with me?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "No, I'll probably be at the HLD dock ready to board the ship by then."
"Are you going back now?" Momoi Sana couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment on her face after hearing this, "If you don't go to the bank, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. You wouldn't do such a stupid thing! Unless you don't want the plundered arms."
After saying that, Li Qiang was about to get up and leave.
Momoi Sana saw this and hurriedly stopped her: "You're leaving now? You haven't told me where the things are yet!"
"Don't worry, someone will tell you in three days."
"real?"
"Of course it's true!" After saying that, Li Qiang stood up and left without looking back...
…
After a whole night of discussions, the joint meeting continued to be held in Japan the next day.
At the meeting, Yosuke Matsuoka further elaborated on his argument and asked the participants a soul-piercing question, "Is the south more important, or the north?"
Gen. Gen. Sugiyama, Chief of Staff of the Army, gave a more agreeable answer. He said, "It is equally important." He also emphasized that he was waiting to see how the situation develops.
And Army Deputy Chief of Staff Tsukada Kaguya, who is known for his sharp mind and bad temper, even said tit for tat: "Everything depends on the current situation. But no matter what, we can't go hand in hand!"
"But according to Germany's report, the war in the Soviet Union will end soon. If this momentum continues, Britain will surrender before the end of the year. If we start discussing the Soviet issue after Germany defeats the Soviet Union, we will be at a disadvantage diplomatically. If we attack the Soviet Union immediately, the United States will most likely choose to stand aside. I firmly believe that we are fully capable of delaying the United States for three months or even half a year through diplomatic means alone!"
However, before he finished speaking, Hideki Tojo, the representative of the Army Military Department, couldn't help but snorted, "That's nice! May I ask, Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, what do we need most now?"
"Are you testing me? Of course it's oil, steel and food!"
"That's right. So, may I ask, Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, can you find even one of these three things on the Siberian Plain in the Far East of the Soviet Union?"
"This..." As soon as he said these words, Matsuoka Yoyo's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he argued, "You have never been there, how do you know there must be nothing there?"
Tojo Hideki couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "Yes, I have never been there, but there is one thing. The situation the empire is facing now cannot tolerate any mistakes! Besides, just the day before yesterday, Fengtian Ordnance Factory was inexplicably... We were attacked and the entire factory was destroyed. It will take at least half a year to restore the previous production capacity. Tell me, what are we going to do in the past six months to go north to the Soviet Union?"
"The attack on the ordnance factory just proves the Soviet Union's fear of us. If we cannot give a strong response at this time, it will definitely pose a serious challenge to our international reputation. Once the German army captures the entire Soviet Union , aren’t you afraid that they will take advantage of the situation and go south?”
However, before he finished speaking, Yamamoto Isoroku, who served as the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, said in a strange tone: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, your words are too alarmist. In your opinion, our Imperial Navy is vegetarian?"
"Of course I didn't mean that. What I meant was..." Although Matsuoka Yosuke had already encountered opposition from almost everyone present, he continued to explain repeatedly like a river with its gate opened. His own plans, such as "first move north, then move south", and "cannot just wait for the results as recommended by the headquarters", etc., made everyone want to laugh but dare not laugh, and everyone suppressed their laughter and blushed.
In this way, Matsuoka Yosuke deeply realized what it meant to be "lonely in public", and he didn't give up until he realized that his words had no effect at all.
At this time, Matsuoka Yosuke was like a deflated rubber ball. He silently stood up and left his seat, staggering towards the door.
Until he reached the door of the conference room, Matsuoka Yosuke still turned his head and said to everyone in a provocative tone: "My predictions have never failed to come true. Now I predict that if the war starts from the south, Britain and the United States will
We must join the war, otherwise we will just wait and see!"
Matsuoka Yoyo's angrily leaving the meeting forced the joint meeting to be interrupted, which naturally attracted many representatives from the participants, including Prince Zaihito, who had resigned as chief of staff and became military counselor and senior adviser to Emperor Showa.
There was also quite a bit of criticism about this.
After the meeting, some people followed Prime Minister Konoe Fumima directly into the lounge, and suggested that Matsuoka Yoyo be removed from office immediately on the grounds that he would eliminate Matsuoka Yoyo's interference in military policy.
Of course Konoe Fumima knew that he was not the only one who had this idea, but to be honest, it was indeed not the time to fall out with Matsuoka Yoyo. After all, he had already made some plans after meeting with the German head of state and the Soviet leader.
It established an image of a great diplomatic strongman in people's minds.
If the two publicly fall out at this time, it will definitely become a big joke internationally!
And this was what Konoe Fumima didn't want to see, so he could only comfort the man with a few words, and put the topic aside for the time being.
While the Japanese high-level officials were still arguing at the joint meeting over whether they should advance north or south, Li Qiang had already rushed to the HLD dock with Haitang.
"Brother Qiang! I've been waiting for you, I thought I didn't have time to say goodbye to you!" Luo Houcai was the first to step forward and said excitedly before the car stopped.
And his appearance really surprised Li Qiang, "If you don't hurry up and return to Bingcheng, what are you doing here?"
"Let's see you off!" Luo Houcai said without thinking, "Brother Zhou made it clear before leaving that I have to see you leave safely with my own eyes to complete the mission. Otherwise, I will be miserable when I go back!"
Li Qiang was speechless for a moment after hearing this, but he didn't say anything. He just patted his shoulder hard, keeping everything in silence.
At this moment, Wu Shibao poked his head out from the deck and greeted Li Qiang who was still on the dock: "Master! All the cargo has been loaded into the cabin, and it's time to set off!"
But just when Li Qiang was about to board the ship, Lao Qiang's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Hey, you little brat, I've helped you so much. It's fine if you're not grateful. Why are you leaving and saying hello?"
