It's night, on Chuanbei Road, at the Japanese Navy Club in Shanghai.
In an office on the third floor, Fujita Yoshimasa, Hirano Colonel, Commander Shiota, and Consul General Shimura, who had just been discharged from the hospital, gathered together.
Except for Commander Yantian, the other people's faces were not very good-looking.
After so many days, Fujita Yoshimasa has found out the whereabouts of the weapons and equipment of that squadron, and also knows that it was the people of the Red Party Special Branch who took action that day.
But Fujita Yoshimasa couldn't understand how the Red Party members got the specific information about Kudanzaka and the others. You must know that this assault plan was arranged extremely secretly by Fujita Yoshimasa, and even he only had a limited number of people on his side. Know the detailed action plan.
It makes no sense at all to say that these insiders leaked the information.
Because the specific problem has not been found, Fujita Yoshimasa has not been able to give an accurate report on the loss of this batch of equipment until now.
So much so that in the face of accountability from the military department, Fujita Yoshimasa was quite anxious.
Even Colonel Hirano was scolded bloody.
As the army commander who was temporarily brought in to replace Junichiro Watanabe, Colonel Hirano was originally so short compared to Commander Shiota, the naval commander.
Now that such a big mistake has been made, Commander Yantian would sneer at Colonel Hirano every day no matter what happened.
But Colonel Hirano couldn't refute yet.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't avoid it today, Colonel Hirano wouldn't want to see Commander Yantian's face.
As for Consul General Shimura, as the only high-level figure who survived the "Toa Doubun Academy Incident", although he saved his life, he was severely reprimanded by his headquarters.
The candidate for the new Consul General in Shanghai has been decided, and Hideo Shimura will return to his homeland as a guilty person to accept the trial of the military and political departments.
It is foreseeable that Shimura Hideo will not end well when he goes back this time.
Naturally, his expression was not much better.
However, since the new Consul General of Shanghai has not arrived yet, Hideo Shimura still has to participate in this transportation task.
At least as a representative of a government department, I can go through the formalities.
"Gentlemen, news has come from Zhengjin Bank that they are ready. I have also asked all the crew members of the Yayoi to return from vacation and regroup.
So, is it time for everyone to take a stand and confirm the specific time of the transportation plan? "
Seeing that the guys in front of him were not very willing to talk, Commander Yantian sternly patted the table, indicating that they all should have a more correct attitude.
Fujita Yoshimasa also calmed down and focused on the current matter.
The issue of that batch of weapons and equipment can be discussed later. The most urgent task is to complete this transportation task first.
"I have been in Manchuria before, and although I have handled similar transportation tasks, I think the situation in Shanghai and Manchuria are different.
So this time the mission can be arranged by you, Commander Yantian, and I will ask the secret service to fully cooperate. "
"It's the same thing here at the Marine Corps."
Colonel Hirano then expressed his attitude.
As for Consul General Shimura, he waved his hand casually and said:
"Commander Yantian, just make the arrangements. I am a guilty person and have no right to speak."
Commander Yantian snorted coldly. He really looked down on Hideo Shimura who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Then, he said to Fujita Yoshimasa:
"Fujita-kun, Shanghai is indeed different from Manchuria.
When performing such transportation tasks here, confidentiality must be maintained.
Unlike Manchuria, there are only some Northeastern anti-union elements who are like rats in the gutter and only dare to cause destruction in the dark. Shanghai Beach is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, with various forces divided, each with extremely strong strength.
Once others know the detailed list of goods to be transported by the Yayoi, I am afraid that the warships from various countries on the Huangpu Pier will "disappear" for a while.
Then, a large number of "pirates" without flags will appear on the route of the "Yayyo". "
"I see."
Fujita Yoshimasa nodded knowingly.
According to the Concession Convention, all countries in the concession maintained certain garrisons, especially warships, in the Shanghai concession to maintain their interests in the concession.
Among them, there are many main battleships from some great powers, which are several steps ahead of the Yayoi in terms of force.
As a member of the great powers of the world, the Japanese naturally know what everyone looks like under the clothes.
If the intelligence agencies of other countries really knew that the Yayoi was going to carry a large amount of treasure back to Japan this time, it would probably be like what Commander Yantian said, and it would encounter a bunch of main warships of various navies on the way. The "pirate".
"Therefore, such transportation missions must be carried out secretly, and the cooperation of the secret service is indispensable. I also hope that Mr. Fujita can take more trouble to block the good news.
At the same time, pay more attention to the movements of warships from other forces, just in case. "
"Commander Yantian, don't worry. I will do my best."
"Then please leave it to Fujita-kun."
After Commander Yantian and Fujita Yoshimasa reached a consensus, the two discussed the specific transportation time and method.
Hirano Osaka and Shimura Hideo were like wooden figures throughout the whole process, saying nothing.
After discussing with Commander Yantian and deciding on the specific process, Fujita Yoshimasa stood up and left the Navy Club, returning to the Black Dragon Club.
Then, he saw Mieko waiting for him here.
"Mieko, why are you here?"
Fujita Yoshimasa was a little surprised. Mieko seemed very busy since she went to work at the Zhenhua Martial Arts School. Even his uncle, who was very close to him in Manchuria, had only seen her a few times.
Most of the time, he took the initiative to find Miezi and learned some information about Zhenhua Martial Arts School from her.
"Uncle Fujita, why do you look unhappy when you see me?"
"No, it's just that I've been too busy with work recently and I'm a little worried. I see you are very happy."
"Uncle Fujita, you are not very good at lying."
"Okay, it's already so late. Mieko, just tell me if you have anything to say, and then go back and rest early."
"It's like this. Mr. Ma came to me today and asked what we thought about Fomalhaut. I said, uncle, you like it very much.
Then, Mr. Ma said that he could sell the detailed drawings to your uncle. Let me ask you if you want them? "
"Nani?"
Fujita Yoshimasa was a little confused.
It's normal for Ma Yu to know that he likes that armor. If nothing else, Mitsumi Keiko will tell it.
However, the other party actually wants to sell the drawings to him?
Doesn't this seem a little inconsistent with Ma Yu's usual hostile attitude towards Japan?
"Uncle Fujita, have you thought about it? If you want, please give me a reply as soon as possible, so that I can reply to Mr. Ma as soon as possible."
Facing Mieko's question, Fujita Yoshimasa considered it in his mind for a moment.
As an armor collector, Fujita Yoshimasa really likes the set of armor called Fomalhaut.
It's just that these days, what the agent named Ono has built is just a pile of scrap metal, far from what he expected.
So much so that he could only use the photos taken by Mieko and the data collected by people lurking in Zhenhua Martial Arts Hall to imitate it.
But these are still not as reliable as the original drawings.
Since the other party is willing to sell, Fujita Yoshimasa thought about it and nodded:
"If Mr. Ma is willing to sell, I will naturally want it. So, you can make an appointment with Mr. Ma for me, and I will ask someone to interview him about the price."
"Okay, I understand. Then I will go back first. Uncle Fujita, you should also rest early."
"I understand, please be safe on the road."
Fujita Yoshimasa sent Mieko all the way to the car at the door. Looking at the car's retreating figure, Fujita Yoshimasa shook his head secretly.
General Yamamoto raised his daughter too innocently, which is not a good thing.
