Yamahara Yuhei nodded slightly: "Although Xiao Tu is not Japanese, but Chinese, he had a good relationship with the Ashikaga clan while studying in the empire. The current head of the Ashikaga clan admires him quite a lot. The two have a close relationship. Some time ago The analysis on the 'Southward Advance' strategy issued by the Military Ministry was written by him and was jointly recommended by the head of the Ashikaga clan and Lieutenant General Ishihara, the chief officer of the Shinjo Headquarters."
After being reminded by this reminder, Ippei Uemura instantly remembered who Li Jie was. The "A Brief Analysis of the Strategy of the Empire's Southward Expansion" written by Li Jie some time ago was jointly recommended by Ashikaga Seiki and Kenji Ishihara and was published in the Military Internal Reference. At that time, Ippei Uemura He quite agreed with the view of 'Southern Expansion' mentioned in the article, but he did not pay attention to who the author was. In view of this, Ippei Uemura asked with great interest.
"Oh? I didn't expect that a Chinese person could be appreciated by the Ashikaga clan. It's not easy. Let me tell you any other news about him."
Yamahara Yuhei looked a little embarrassed. He was afraid that the relationship between Li Jie and Muto Shio would affect the teacher's judgment. In his eyes, Li Jie was a worthy candidate. Uemura Ippei couldn't help but ask when he saw the student was embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"
Yamahara Yuhei shook his head: "The student has studied this person carefully and there is no big problem. It's just that he currently works in the Muto Agency."
When the Muto Agency was mentioned, Yamahara Yuhei secretly glanced at Uemura Ippei's expression, and continued after seeing that the teacher's mood did not fluctuate much.
"This man has received an advanced education from the empire. He is bold and fierce in killing. He is also highly appreciated by senior officials. Moreover, he is also an internationally renowned scholar. The student suggested that the teacher meet with him to see if he can win over him. Muto Shio regards him as his right-hand man. Once Xiao Tu changes sides, Muto Shio will inevitably be in a hurry."
Ippei Uemura pondered for a long time. This time he used his connections to come to Shanghai. His first task was of course to avenge his friend Tadanobu Asano. Back then, Shio Muto insisted on holding his friend accountable, which led to Asano Tadanobu committing hara-kiri. In his opinion, his friend was really guilty. Not to death.
The Uemura family and the Asano family have known each other for generations. In order to get Shio Muto to give up the investigation, Uemura Ippei came to the house in person to apologize. Unexpectedly, what he got in exchange was Shio Muto's sermon. Asano Hirobumi is the orphan of a good friend. With the energy of the Asano family, he should have There is a better future, but Asano Hirobumi gave up the great future in the military and switched to the special high school in order to take revenge one day.
Ippei Uemura has been brooding over the death of his friend these years. This time he came to Shanghai to settle this old grudge. Firstly, he wanted to pay homage to the spirit of his friend Tadanobu Asano in heaven. Secondly, it was for Asano Hirobumi's future future. When Shio Muto As the boss, Ippei Uemura will use his connections to transfer Hirobumi Asano out of the special high school. In addition to being the son of his good friend, Asano Hirobumi is also the son-in-law of Ippei Uemura. The two of them had arranged this marriage when Asano Tadanobu was still alive.
"Well, you can arrange a meeting with him later. Even if we fail to win over each other, the seeds of doubt will be planted between them. We just need to wait quietly for it to take root and sprout."
Yamahara Yuhei nodded. At this moment, there was a creak and the door of the office opened. Kawano Yasu just returned. Uemura Ippei ordered that as long as his two students can enter directly without notification.
Uemura Yihei must have gained something when he saw Kawanoyasu's smile on his face. He chuckled: "Kawano, have you gained something?"
Kawanoyasu walked a few steps and sat across from Uemura Ippei and said seriously: "Teacher, I have read the files of the previous military reunification operations, and have conducted on-site inspections in the past few days. Based on the photos of the crime scene and the investigation report, I judge that the military reunification is in There should be two teams in Shanghai, one of which should be hiding in the French Concession, and the other in the Central and Western Districts of the Public Concession. The students want to transfer two groups of fresh faces from the northeast to Shanghai. These people have been lurking for a long time. They must be familiar with the members of the Chengte High School, it would be difficult to approach them quietly."
What Ippei Uemura liked most was the resolute look of Kawanoyasu. He immediately said: "Humph! I agreed. Sooner or later these places will be taken from the hands of Western countries! Please tell me what other requests you have."
Yamahara Yuhei raised his hand: "Teacher, I have something that requires Kawano's cooperation."
Kawano Yasu turned his attention to Yamahara Yuhei, tilted his head and asked: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Yamahara Yuhei took out a map of Shanghai and drew a few circles on it with a pencil: "Kawano, you need to send a few members of the action team to these places to take photos of all the people entering and exiting. I suspect One of them is where the underground party’s funds are stored.”
Uemura Yihei asked in confusion: "Where did you get these locations?"
Yamahara Yuhei took out a confession from the file: "Teacher, this is the confession of a military convert who was arrested by the Special High School before. He was only a small role, but he mentioned the dog running track several times in his confession. , I suspected that there were their contact points nearby, and then I delineated these locations based on the military commander's behavior. These locations were neither too close nor too far from the dog running track, and the surrounding environment was complex and the flow of people was large. It was very Good for lurking.
There are only four foreign banks within the scope I have circled, namely Chase Bank, HSBC, Citibank, and American Express Bank. We have no right to investigate their accounts at these banks. Even if we bring in manpower from the Northeast to conduct a secret investigation, it will take time. We might as well Come and wait. "
Kawanoyasu nodded excitedly after hearing this suggestion: "Okay, I will send someone to do it later, but there is too much traffic in these places, and the investigation will be very energy-consuming. Do you want to call people from No. 76 to do it?"
Yamahara Yuhei shook his head: "No, this matter must not be leaked to the outside world. There are still hidden dangers within No. 76, so it is not suitable to get involved. Once the news is leaked and the other party is alert, this trick will not work."
Kawanoyasu rubbed his head. The manpower of Shanghai Special High School was a bit tight, but they had just arrived and had to achieve something as soon as possible. They could only work overtime and use one person as two people, otherwise the manpower would not be enough.
"Okay, I know what to do. Teacher, I really don't have enough manpower here. Could you please ask the teacher to think of a way to bring in more manpower nearby? Last time, Fujita Yoshimasa's case involved many team members, and now the entire action team only has The next half manpower.”
Uemura Ippei smiled: "The new team members will arrive in a few days, but these people are seconded from various places, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the team members. Others will be reluctant to transfer the really good players."
Yamahara Yuhei and Kawano Yasu were both refreshed when they heard the words. They looked at each other and understood what the other meant. Kawano Yasu laughed: "It doesn't matter, as long as there are people available, wasn't it the same way in Jinmen? As long as Give me some time and I will definitely be able to train them!"
