Sato is the co-captain of the baggage train company. He is very aware of the twists and turns here. He is even a link in this chain.
So he was not surprised at all that Nakaright Kazusuke, an ordinary captain, could spend 100,000 yen.
"Zhongyoujun, after you are promoted to major general, you will most likely be transferred out of the arsenal. Are you really willing to do that?"
Not only is there no danger here, but it is also rich in oil and water, and no one wants to leave.
Kazusuke Nakayou sighed: "Sato-kun, you don't know that there are very few civilians like me who can rise to the rank of general. This is one of the few opportunities, and I must seize it.
As long as I become a general, my family back home can be protected by the empire. Only in this way can my family wealth be guaranteed.
Otherwise, no matter how much money I have, I will just be working for others! "
Sato really doesn't know what's going on here. His family is an imperial noble and his family will not be liquidated at any time.
Moreover, his coming to the Kwantung Army was just for gold plating. There would naturally be a better position waiting for him when he returned.
Sato patted the pocket containing the check hard twice and assured: "Nakaright-kun, please rest assured, for the sake of the yen, I will pay attention to this matter!"
"Bang!" The office door was violently pushed open.
"Baga Yaji, who let you in?" Nakayou Kazusuke felt embarrassed by his subordinate's rudeness, and Sato also looked unhappy.
His captain and the director of the arsenal rushed into the office and shouted in horror: "Your Excellency, captain, we...we...!"
"What's going on? Are the workers at the arsenal going on strike again?" This is the most serious thing that Kazusuke Nakaright can think of.
"Strike?" Sato was puzzled.
"It's not a strike! Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our warehouse has been stolen, and all the weapons and ammunition needed by a hundred thousand troops have been stolen!" The factory director finally spoke out completely.
"Haha, my factory director, this joke is not funny at all. The warehouse of the arsenal is heavily guarded, and the key in my hand has never been lost. How could someone else open the warehouse door?"
Zhongyou Yijie didn't believe it at all. You must know that the warehouse door is made of fine iron, and the lock on it may not be able to be blown open even with explosives. Who can open the warehouse quietly and transport so many weapons and ammunition? Isn't this a joke?
The factory director looked sad and said in fear, "The enemy entered through the roof. There is a big hole in the roof of each warehouse."
"Are you kidding? The roof is made entirely of steel. Who can break a steel roof?
Besides, even if someone gets in from the roof, can they still take away the tanks and heavy artillery in the warehouse from the roof?
General Sato is here. Do you think I am a loser who is easily deceived? "
Nakayou Kazusuke was so angry that in front of the major general, his men actually lied to him like a fool.
The captain and factory director of the warehouse guard brigade were so scolded that they could not raise their heads. Sato saw the chief of staff of the baggage train unit who had just entered the door and asked:
"Ogawa-kun, have you just come from the warehouse? What's the situation there?"
"Your Excellency General, the warehouse has indeed been stolen. Except for a big hole in the roof, there is no loophole!"
When Ichisuke Nakaright heard the words of the Chief of Staff of the Baggage Regiment, he sat down on the ground as if struck by lightning. He suddenly got up like crazy and rushed toward the warehouse quickly.
About ten minutes later, Sato led his people to the warehouse area, and Nakaright Kazusuke stood at the open door of the warehouse in despair.
Sato was now standing next to Ichisuke Nakaright and looked inside. Sure enough, there was nothing. At the same time, the falling snow from the sky fell from a large hole with a diameter of more than 1 meter, soaking the ground.
"Is this the case in other warehouses as well?" Sato asked gloomily.
The chief of staff also had a cold face and knew very well how troublesome this matter was, "A total of six warehouses are empty!"
Sato gritted his teeth and looked at Kazusuke Nakaright, "Come here, arrest Kazusuke Nakaright, and control the entire arsenal. Don't let anyone leave.
Immediately contact the Fengtian Military Police Headquarters and Consulate, the Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau and the garrison troops, and make sure they send someone over immediately.
This incident is likely to cause serious turmoil in the Kwantung Army! "
"Hi!" The chief of staff trembled when he heard Sato's words and trotted to make a phone call.
In fact, not only the Japanese chief of staff was afraid, but Sato was also afraid. He was a second-generation ancestor who came to gild. He had never seen such a big event. His family education was good enough to last until he gave the order.
The 12th Division of the Kwantung Army is a garrison in Fengtian. The division headquarters is located on Jinming Road in the south of the city. At the division headquarters, Matsumoto Fuji is greeting Murakachiro, the commander of the Military Police Headquarters.
"General Matsumoto, I have received the latest news. The new commander of the Kwantung Army, His Excellency General Sugiyamahara, landed in Haicheng early this morning and will take the train to Spring City in the afternoon.
I heard that he might come to visit the Army Prison and Fengtian Arsenal when passing through Fengtian. We should make preparations in advance. "
Matsumoto Shouchi is a veteran soldier and usually has a serious expression. Even if Sugiyamahara comes, his expression will not change.
"Don't worry, Mr. Murashita. There is nothing to see in the army prison. Even if more people die, it won't be a big problem. They are all anti-Japanese elements from the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
They all want to train railway police dogs and use their bodies to make final contributions to the strength of my little empire. Even if His Excellency General Sugiyamahara knew about it, he would not say anything. "
"Of course, I'm mainly worried about the arsenal!" Murashichiro reminded in a low voice.
Matsumoto Fuji waved his hand to stop Murakachiro from continuing, "I have arranged for the baggage regiment to transfer weapons and ammunition today. By the time General Sugiyamahara arrives, all weapons and ammunition in the entire Fengtian Arsenal will be transferred.
He could only see the production workshop running at full capacity and the empty warehouse. All the ledgers had been confirmed by the management of the arsenal, and there would be no problems! "
"But, I heard that among the people he brought this time, there were also professional accountants from the empire. Could it be...?" Murakami felt very uneasy.
"Bang" the office door was violently pushed open, and Matsumoto's secretary rushed into the office and said hurriedly,
"Your Excellency, Commander, Mr. Sato of the Baggage Regiment reported that the arsenal warehouse was stolen and all weapons and ammunition were missing.
No useful clues have been found so far. He hopes you can get there soon! "
"Nani?" Matsumoto Shoji and Murakachiro stood up at the same time, looking at the secretary in shock.
"Are you sure?" Matsumoto Fuji asked excitedly.
"Yes!"
"Yo Xi, go out and prepare the vehicle immediately. I'll be down later!"
After waiting for the secretary to go out, Matsumoto Puji said happily, "Mulasha-kun, you didn't expect it, the one who settled the account is here!"
