Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth fell into the pit
"Shimada-kun, I just received an emergency notification from Huatong Trading Company. The two grain stores responsible for supplying food to the Marine Corps are currently being surrounded by the law enforcement brigade of the inspection team. This will seriously affect the reputation of the Navy and our
Logistics supply.”
"Now I order you and Colonel Nakajima to resolve the matter in the shortest possible time and severely punish these scum of the empire. Don't dare to offend the interests of the Navy just because they think they have the backing of the Japanese chaebol. I want them to hear from the Navy from now on.
The Marines just stay away!" Major General Matsuki said.
"What a bullshit law enforcement brigade. They are all damned scoundrels. They act recklessly on the basis of their status as citizens of the empire and dare to touch the food of the Marine Corps. This is an unforgivable crime. Please rest assured, General, I will make them pay a heavy price."
!" Colonel Nakajima said with a livid face.
He is the officer in charge of the military supply of the Marine Corps. If something like this happens, it is like being slapped hard. It would be strange if he is not angry!
"The First Squadron quickly surrounded the grain store and took all those bastards to the prison of the headquarters. The Second Squadron followed me to the inspection team to find the culprits to settle accounts!" Lieutenant Colonel Shimada returned to the office of the security team, almost roaring.
give an order.
The food consumption of thousands of Marines is a huge amount. Due to the tense relationship between the Navy and the Army, the Military Police Command always found trouble with the Marines in the past, making food procurement very difficult.
Later, through Chen Mingxiang's private operation, two grain banks in Shanghai secretly took over the order. Starting from last year's bombing, the navy and army entered a cooperation mode, and the military police headquarters turned a blind eye to this.
only one eye, and it continues to this day.
Hirai Ichiro and Lin Shaozuo had just arrived and did not know this secret. When they saw these two grain stores on the list of the Enforcement Section, they asked the law enforcement brigade to surround them and wanted to buy the rice inside at a low price.
Rice is a very important item in the strategic material collection task assigned by the military headquarters. The quantity is also very large, and the Japanese have to eat!
Chen Mingxiang asked the Enforcement Section to add these two grain stores to the list. The purpose was to use the power of the Marine Corps to teach Ichiro Hirai and Shaozuo Lin a lesson. He believed that the other parties would definitely jump into the trap. Sure enough, the law enforcement brigade took action.
More than a dozen trucks arrived at the inspection team's station, and Marine Corps soldiers surrounded the place. Colonel Nakajima and Lieutenant Colonel Shimada came to the office angrily with a group of soldiers.
"This is the inspection team under the Military Police Headquarters. What do your navy want to do?" Ichiro Hirai said bravely.
"Are you Ichiro Hirai, the consultant assigned to the inspection team by the Special High School Division?" Colonel Nakajima said coldly.
"Your Majesty Colonel, I am Ichiro Hirai." Ichiro Hirai could not deny it.
Bang, bang, slap, several slaps in a row, loud and clear. The Japanese officers were all experienced slappers. In the blink of an eye, Hirai Ichiro's face swelled up and his nose was bleeding. He looked very embarrassed.
"Your navy actually beat people openly in the Military Police Headquarters. I will definitely accuse you to the military headquarters!" Hirai Ichiro was very angry, and his eyes wanted to eat Colonel Nakajima alive.
"Taihe and Fuyuan are the two grain stores that you sent people to rob?" Colonel Nakajima asked.
Although he did not remember the name of the grain store, he personally explained the incident of the law enforcement brigade's robbery of the grain store today, so he naturally had a clear impression. Since the Marine Corps mentioned this matter, they also beat people, representing these two grain stores.
It’s definitely not that simple!
"I am collecting strategic materials for the empire, and the food in Shanghai must be controlled. This approach is also approved by the dispatched army headquarters!" Hirai Ichiro said.
"Asshole, these two food banks are the food suppliers of our Marine Corps. Thousands of Marine Corps officers and soldiers in the empire rely on these two food banks for food. In other words, their food is all military rations. Why?
, Do you want to starve us to death?" Shimada Zhongsa said through gritted teeth.
Ichiro Hirai was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never imagined that he would actually rob the Marine Corps of rations. No matter where this kind of lawsuit goes, the outcome is bound to be lost.
Blaming the Enforcement Department for not explaining things clearly? It doesn’t make sense!
As subordinates, they just followed their orders and made a list of smugglers of some size in Shanghai. These two grain shops also smuggled grain from Jiang Tong District, and the quantities were quite large. There was nothing wrong with appearing on the list.
.
"Your Excellency, Agency Chief, why are you here at the inspection team? Are you looking for Mr. Chen?" Colonel Nakajima said in surprise when he saw the person coming.
At this time, Kodama and Shifu actually came to the inspection team. Others easily thought that he came to see Chen Mingxiang. After all, Huatong Trading Company and Kodama Agency cooperated closely.
The Japanese military is implementing the strategy of marching south, and Kodama and Shifu, who are responsible for purchasing supplies for the navy, also have a very heavy task this time, so it is reasonable for them to appear here.
"This guy is the so-called consultant of the inspection team, Ichiro Hirai?" Kodama and Shifu did not answer, but looked at Ichiro Hirai with unkind expressions and said.
Before Ichiro Hirai could speak, he was slapped five or six times on the face again. He felt that his eyes were turning black and stars were rising, and he almost fell to the ground.
The people in the inspection team's office watched from a distance, not to mention feeling comfortable. After this Japanese consultant came to the inspection team, everyone's income dropped sharply, there were no bonuses and benefits at all, and they had long hated him.
Liu Nina, who was on duty, looked at this scene and suddenly remembered what Chen Mingxiang had said before. She understood that this was a trap set by Chen Mingxiang for Ichiro Hirai and the law enforcement brigade.
It is very simple to say. It is nothing more than providing some smuggling agencies with secret missions to the law enforcement brigade. On the surface, these companies and business houses have no direct connection with the military. Ichiro Hirai relied on the support of Japanese chaebols and did not pay attention carefully.
The verification started.
"Damn you, you dare to rob the cotton yarn that Minhua Company has hoarded and prepared to ship to Japan. Do you want your life?" Kodama and Shifu said angrily.
"Sir, I definitely did not send anyone to rob Minhua Company's goods. Is there any misunderstanding here?" Hirai Ichiro became anxious.
Of course he knew that Minhua Company was a subsidiary company of the Kodama Agency and was established to purchase supplies for the navy. It was impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
"In Warehouse No. 6 of Shiliupu Pier, the cloth and cotton yarn stored by Dongxin and Hua'an trading companies are all goods of Minhua Company. If you rob these two companies, you are robbing Minhua Company, which is equivalent to robbing the empire.
The navy's strategic supplies!" Kodama and Shifu said sternly.
"I didn't know these two companies had such a relationship with Minhua Company!" Ichiro Hirai felt aggrieved.
"Why should I tell you! This is the military secret of our Imperial Navy. Who do you think you are?" Kodama and Shifu said coldly.
