At noon on the second day, in Ancheng, Huai Province, 320 kilometers away from Shanghai, a majestic and heavily guarded deep house compound was located in the center of the city.
A Ford Model T with a plaster flag hanging, leading more than fifty Belley CBA trucks and carriages loaded with cargo, stopped at the gate of the compound.
Xiongye Yoshioka, the Fuso Consulate and the person in charge of the Huai Province Super High School Course, got out of the car anxiously.
Ever since their Fusang Special High School secret service branches in Yu Province and Shanghai were destroyed by unknown fires more than twenty days ago, the situation has become uncontrollable.
All the spies and spies that they had hidden in various fields in Yu Province and Hudu began to disappear one by one, as if they had disappeared from the world.
As of today, all the agents and spies they planted in Yu Province and Hudu have lost contact. Yoshioka predicts that those people are in danger.
Now even in Huai Province, this terrible situation has occurred.
This made Yoshioka very uneasy, and he speculated that a mysterious force was secretly targeting them.
Although Fuso Kingdom has repeatedly put pressure on the Beiyang government to investigate thoroughly.
But this is of no use at all, these provincial governors don't even look like they are now.
In the living room, a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing a khaki military uniform, was sitting condescendingly on the sandalwood Taishi chair.
This person is Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Huai Province and the commander of the Sixth Division of the Zhili Army. At this moment, he is listening with a straight face to Yoshioka Kumaji's accusation of launching an army.
"Commander Qi, after you became an ally of our Fusang Empire, our Fusang Kingdom treated you well, right? We sold you so many arms.
"As a result, in the past twenty days, hundreds of innocent foreigners from our Fusang Kingdom have disappeared without any reason in your jurisdiction. They don't know whether they are dead or alive. Your men have been investigating for so long, and there is still no result at all?"
Qi Xieyuan put down the tea cup in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Yoshioka, I think you don't know much about the situation in Shanghai. On the surface it is under my management, but in fact it is a mixed bag. My nemesis Lu Yongxiang even has troops stationed in Shanghai."
"I don't dare to investigate this matter too much. After all, if thousands of police are mobilized to search the whole city, it will easily conflict with Lu Yongxiang's garrison."
"I'm afraid that a large-scale war will be triggered by then, and the situation will not be optimistic. Unless, Mr. Yoshioka, you can deliver to me the batch of arms that I ordered from your Fuso Kingdom six months ago..."
Yoshioka seemed to have predicted Qi Xieyuan's routine, and was a little glad that he had brought the things.
"Commander Qi, most of the new batch of arms you ordered last time has arrived and is now outside the door. It includes 10,000 Arisaka Type 38 rifles, 90 Taisho Type 3 heavy machine guns, and 12 Meiji Type 41 75mm Mountain artillery, 8 million rounds of Arisaka 6.5 mm ammunition, and 3,600 rounds of 10-year-type 75 mm grenades.”
Qi Xieyuan also looked happy when he saw this, and immediately put on a face and said righteously:
"Mr. Yoshioka, I have actually ordered my subordinate Xu Fuliang, the director of the Hudu Police Department, to personally take over the investigation of this mysterious force that you mentioned is targeting you Fuso people."
"He has not closed his eyes these days, working hard to investigate the matter, and working hard at various crime scenes. Please rest assured, Mr. Yoshioka, I believe there will be results soon."
At this moment, in the office of the director of the Hudu Gate Police Station, 325 kilometers away, Xu Fuliang, who had looked troubled just now, suddenly beamed.
"Hey! I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid!"
"Give me money quickly, give me money!"
A few people flipped their fingers and the mahjong pieces on the table collided. Xu Fuliang sneezed inexplicably, which left him confused for a while.
"Grandma, who is talking about me, Lao Xu?"
…
After seeing off Yoshioka, Qi Xieyuan turned his attention to the young man wearing a major's military uniform and a sanitary beard and asked angrily:
"Qi Lu, why do you have this kind of beard like Fusang's and shave your face smoothly? You might as well have a mustache like your father and I."
This young man was Qi Xieyuan’s son Qi Lu. Qi Lu had just graduated from the Fuso National Army Military Academy. He said calmly:
"Dad, my name is Fusang Health Hu. All Fusang people are like this. They are very particular."
"Okay, son, your Fusang Sanitary Hu is not bad. I will keep one in the future."
"By the way, son, go and collect the Fuso arms outside the door immediately and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, send them to the newly organized 29th Division. From now on, you will be the leader of the new 29th Division."
After Qi Lu received the order and left, Qi Xieyuan couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
As long as these arms are equipped with troops, they will have three infantry divisions, six garrison brigades, and a total of 80,000 troops. By then, they will definitely be able to defeat Lu Yongxiang, and then seize the two gold ingots of Hudu and Yu Province.
