Know that this kind of planning and research can be time-consuming, but it can also be quick. But whether it is fast or slow, the subsequent implementation will definitely require a lot of work.
Now that Inukai Masaki is out because of this incident, he will definitely continue to be out because of the follow-up work in this area. It's impossible to say that if you go out to have a meeting with everyone today and study it, nothing will happen when you come back. And this is the opportunity.
It seemed that he had to pass on the news as soon as possible, but Shoukang Daixiang felt that today was a bit overwhelming. After all, judging by Inukai Masaki's posture, with his suit and tie on, he might be going out soon. If you follow him, you have no chance.
But Zhaocang Daxiang felt that he still had to make preparations, just in case! So Zhaocang Daxiang asked: "Consul, when will we set off? I'll ask them to prepare the car."
"No need." Inukai Masaki said, "I have already asked someone to prepare the car. We will set off in a moment. Shokura-kun probably has some unarranged work, so I can wait."
"Hi!" Zhaocang Daxiang said: "There is an approval document that was requested from the office. I haven't sent anyone to deliver it before I came here. It is in my office. I will handle it and be back soon."
"It's okay." Masaki Inukai said, "Go ahead. When you're done, go directly downstairs. I'll wait for you in the car."
"Hi." Zhaocang Daxiang bowed again and said, "I'm so rude, I'll go right away." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
When he entered his office again, he immediately locked the door and quickly signed the approval document. Then he took a piece of paper and quickly wrote: "The local Furuya team will arrive in Shanghai soon. Inukai Masaki of the consulate is responsible for reception and liaison with various agencies to ensure safety and logistics. Masaki Inukai will go out frequently in the near future..."
After writing this note quickly, Shoukang Daixiang immediately folded the note repeatedly and hid it in the cap of a fountain pen. Plug it into the other end of a pen and stick it in your pocket. Then I brought a notebook and wore it with me. Finally, I walked out of the office again with the approval document in hand.
The approval document was not a confidential document, so he handed it to a staff member and asked him to send the approval document with his signature and seal to the consulate office ahead. This is normal work. If there is any trouble afterwards, this matter can be somewhat covered up for myself. At the very least, it can make it look like you are back to work normally and finish the work.
He quickly went downstairs, but it turned out that Masaki Inukai walked slowly, probably because of his legs and feet, not long after he got in the car. After seeing Zhaocang Daxiang also getting into the car, he asked: "So fast?"
Zhaocang Daxiang said: "Yes, just sign and seal it. I have already sent someone to the office area in front."
Along the way, Masaki Inukai introduced the situation of this work to Daixiang Shoukang. This is an important task assigned by Consul General Takada Katsuie. Therefore, Inukai Masaki immediately contacted the garrison headquarters and asked it to take the lead, and then found his deputy Shokura Daisho.
In about twenty minutes, the car had entered the garrison headquarters. This is a large courtyard with a watchtower at the entrance and various sentries inside the courtyard. In addition, there are various later modified machine gun bunkers in the garrison headquarters. If someone attacks here, without a certain number of people and correct tactics, it is basically useless. In a word, the security is tight.
Since Inukai Masaki had contacted the Japanese garrison headquarters before, they entered without any obstruction and were immediately taken into a conference room.
The leader of an important staff group first communicated with Inukai Masaki and Shokura Daisho. After a while, people from the Muto Agency, the Tsuruta Agency, and people from the secret service directly under the Military Police Headquarters all arrived.
First, Inukai Masaki explained the situation, and then everyone began to study and discuss. When Furuya's team comes over, safety must be the first consideration. How to pick people up, where to arrange them after picking them up, how to provide assistance, etc. This is the scope of their research. Therefore, this research quickly passed by one day. And it hasn’t been agreed yet.
If it's not enough, some research results have been produced, that is, how to pick up people. Shokura Daisho meticulously recorded next to Inukai Masaki, writing all the highlights of today in the notebook he brought.
It was probably after eight o'clock in the evening before everyone dispersed. Zhaocang Daxiang felt that at this rate, it would take at least two days of discussion.
On the way back, Zhaocang Daxiang still couldn't find any opportunity to deliver the news, but there was no need to worry. After all, he is not like Inukai Masaki, who basically lives in the consulate, but lives alone. After all, his wife also came with him. Many people in the consulate know this.
Of course Inukai Masaki knew this, so he asked the driver to take Shokura Daisho home first, and agreed to pick him up tomorrow before returning to the consulate.
After returning home, Shoukang Daxiang, served by his wife, had some dinner and then went to bed. The next morning, Shokura Daisho woke up very early, but his wife was also awake, and Japanese women all have a common problem, that is, they are surprisingly polite. He put on his clothes quickly and said, "I woke up late, I'm going to make breakfast for you."
Zhaocang Daxiang changed his mind, smiled and hugged his wife, and said: "Haha, it's not too late. But I do have some work today. The consulate will send a car to pick me up in a while, so don't make breakfast today. I'll buy some. , I remember we haven’t eaten the wontons from that breakfast shop for a long time.”
"Yes." His wife said with a smile, "Then I'll buy it."
"Don't." Zhaocang Daxiang said: "It's not very safe on the streets now, so I'd better go. It's still inconvenient for you as a woman. I'll be back soon."
After saying this, Shocang Daixiang's wife began to help him wash and dress. Shokura Daixiang was still wearing yesterday's clothes, because his clothes contained the pen cap with the note hidden inside.
After he went out, he walked a little longer, walked around a few streets, and arrived at the designated place. Take out the pen cap and extract the contents inside. It was stuffed into a gap in the side wall of a squatting stall in a public toilet in the park.
Then Zhaocang Daxiang hurried out, bought some steamed dumplings, fried pancakes, etc., and then went home directly. Seeing that his wife had prepared the tableware and other things, he smiled and said: "Oh, there are too many people at the breakfast shop today, and there are not enough bowls for me to bring back..."
