"Thank you, Ishihara-kun."
Chishang stood up and gave a big salute, but because Shuicheng Jun was there, he didn't say much.
"When your promotion order comes, I will celebrate your success.
Chu Lingyun smiled and Shuicheng Jun followed to congratulate him. The relationship between Chishang and Ishihara was obviously closer, and he wanted to have a good relationship with Chishang.
"Mizuki-kun, please inform them and start bringing them to see me today."
Chu Lingyun told Shuicheng Jun that Chu Lingyun must meet these four people one by one. After absorbing them, this organization will be formally established.
There were not many people, less than ten people, so they were neither conspicuous nor attracted attention.
"Yes, I will inform you right away."
Shuicheng Jun was overjoyed and immediately stood up to leave. He was very attentive to this matter, which was related to his future.
"Ishihara-kun, what are you talking about?" Ikegami watched Mizuki Jun leave. He didn't understand what the two people were talking about just now, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Mizuki-kun gave me a suggestion, saying that we
We have such a good relationship together, why not set up an organization, a small group, so that everyone can help each other and make progress together. "
"That's good, can I join?"
Chishang's eyes suddenly lit up. He was not stupid. The more connections he had, the more paths he would have.
“Of course, Ikegami-kun is already my chosen one, and it’s Takemoto-kun.
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. How could such a thing happen to them? Not only did they want to join, but they were also the backbone and an important force around him.
"Great, I believe this group will be able to develop under the leadership of Ishihara-kun.
Ikegami said happily, while Chu Lingyun shook his head: "No, not under my leadership, but under the leadership of Hosokawa Tomotaka."
"Young Master, has he also joined?"
Ikegami's eyes widened instantly. If Hosokawa Tomotaka joins and becomes the leader, no one in this group can look down upon him.
"Not yet, but I am confident that I can convince him."
"Yes, you have such a good relationship with the young master and have saved his life, he will definitely agree.
Ikegami immediately responded that Ishihara Hiroshi had a great influence on Hosokawa Tomotaka, and Takemoto was promoted because the young master wrote a letter to General Matsumoto himself.
The young master doesn't know Takemoto, so why he is willing to write this letter is not because of Ishihara Toru.
"You should also go back, I will take care of the military affairs.
Chu Lingyun said softly, Chishang stood up again and bowed.
"Ishihara-kun, I can't speak, but I understand that you have a favor for me. Don't worry, your affairs will be my business from now on, and I will definitely help you wholeheartedly.
The grace of reinvention is not an exaggeration. If Ishihara Hiroshi hadn't helped him, he would still be dawdling as the chief of the ground support department.
No merit, no promotion.
When he reaches the age to retire, he will be like this in his life.
Now his destiny has been changed. Even if his legs are broken, he can still make meritorious deeds, and he has made more meritorious deeds than before.
The military rank has been promoted to Major, and he can become a real retainer earlier. The future is bright.
"Ikegami-kun, we are a family."
Chu Lingyun did not forcefully lift him up this time, and replied with a smile, "This is good." Chi Xing gradually came to the realization that he would be the leader in the future.
He can help Chishang up and pull him down
If you want loyal subordinates, it is not enough to be kind, but also to have authority. He did not have the opportunity to show his authority before, and Shun Cheng helped him come up with a way. After Hosokawa Tomataka comes in, his authority will be greatly increased.
What happened to the businessmen? Lu Buwei was also a businessman, and it also affected the entire country.
Shuicheng Jun came back quickly, and a man about forty years old followed him.
"Ishihara-kun, this is Lieutenant Colonel Shimakura Toshiaki." Shun Mizuki introduced the people around him, and Shimakura Toshiaki bowed his head to Chu Lingyun as a salute.
"Lieutenant Shimakura, Ishihara-kun is a warrior.
Yi, if you don’t believe me, you can believe him. Really, I didn’t lie to you. "Mizuki Toshi told Shimakura that he and Shimakura met because of Shimakura's son. Because Shimakura was suppressed, his son is still a soldier and is studying in school to become an officer in the future.
"Hello Ishihara-kun, Major Mizuki said you can help me change the situation. Do you understand my situation?"
Shimakura Toshiaki took the initiative to ask. He was old and his position was not high, and the Shangguan he had offended before was still there. Although he was not in Shanghai, he still had influence.
As long as he can live a stable life, I never thought he could change.
"I understand part of it, not much. If you are willing
Say it carefully. "
Chu Lingyun whispered. Shimakura Toshiaki was silent at first, and then slowly told his story.
He came from an ordinary background and had an ordinary family. He was admitted to the military academy. Later, he worked hard. After several wars, he climbed out of the dead and was promoted to lieutenant colonel.
He was present during the first battle in Shanghai six years ago. Due to a conflict of opinion with his then-boss, Colonel, he carried out his plan despite objections.
Although his plan was successful, he was beaten down by the colonel, which not only failed to achieve success, but also led to failure.
The colonel had been promoted to major general because of his meritorious service. He was pinned down in Shanghai and could not move. After so many years, he had long lost his original ambition.
He didn't believe that a businessman could help him change all this.
Shuicheng Jun persuaded him that no matter whether he could do it or not, it didn't matter if he came to meet him. What if it really helped him?
"I understand, you are now Lieutenant Colonel, what is the position you want most?
Chu Lingyun asked lightly. Shimakura Toshiaki was suddenly startled, but felt a little angry in his heart.
He instinctively thought that the other party was telling lies. How could his position as lieutenant colonel be arranged by a small businessman?
"Of course I want to join the staff department, where I can have better development."
Shimakura Toshiaki didn't say anything about re-leading troops. He hadn't led troops in six years, so he wouldn't let him go so easily.
However, if you can enter the staff headquarters, it is no less than going out to lead troops.
"Okay, I understand, Mizujo-kun, please send Shimakura-kun back first."
Leaving now?
Shimakura Toshiaki was about to speak when Shuisheng Shun stopped him.
"Ishihara-kun, let's go first and wait for your good news.
After all, Shuicheng Shun was his son's teacher, and it was related to his son's future. Shimakura Shunming resisted and left with Shuicheng Shun.
"Major Shuicheng, he is just a businessman. Do you believe this?"
After coming out, Shimakura immediately complained that although he was not in power, he was the lieutenant commander after all. Ishihara Trading Company was not small, but he really didn't pay much attention to it.
"Shimakura-kun, how come you still can't figure it out after all these years? You must change your temper. If you don't, you will suffer losses in the future."
Shuisheng Shun sighed. If Shimakura could lower his head and admit his mistake, he wouldn't be like this after all these years.
His temperament has been worn away a lot, but his arrogance is still there
exist.
"I know. Anyway, I don't believe he can do it. If he can really do it, I will listen to him in the future."
Shimakura Toshiaki said angrily that he didn't trust Chu Lingyun, and his transfer was not that easy, so it was normal to have such thoughts.
"Okay, then let's wait and see whether I am right or you are right."
Shuisheng Jun smiled and said that he was also skeptical about whether Ishihara Hiroshi could do this.
But Hiroshi Ishihara acted too calmly, and Hiroshi Ishihara has indeed done a lot of practical things, and he is not a vain person who likes to talk big words.
If Toru Ishihara was too vain, he would have agreed to his suggestions before instead of giving up his dominant position to others.
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Shimakura Toshiaki sighed, it was a waste of time. Fortunately, he had free time now, so running out was nothing, just to give Shuisheng Shun some face.
For two consecutive days, Shuicheng Jun brought the other three people to Ishihara.
Trading firm.
The three of them are all majors, but they are all very young. The eldest is thirty-six years old and the youngest is thirty-one.
Naoki Ishii is the oldest and has been with the Major for the longest time. He is in the cleaning class and his name is not very good.
Listen, it is a very well-oiled department.
It's a pity that he has no real power. He is responsible for communication work in the cleaning team, so he can't make any money.
After the Shanghai War, Japan established a so-called cleaning squad, which was essentially a form of plunder. They took the seized factory machinery and various materials for themselves, and robbed a large amount of China's wealth.
The other two people are named Mitsukuma Yamaguchi and Hiroshi Kobayashi. One is in the police security bureau and the other is in a department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The unit is good, but no matter how good the unit is, there are still unsatisfactory people, and that's how they are. The police security bureau where Yamaguchi Mitsukuma works is mainly responsible for supervising the Chinese police, and is also responsible for formulating some strategies.
Hiroshi Xiaobayashi was even less taken seriously. He did the same job as Shimakura, guarding the gate.
After meeting the three people, just like when he faced Shimakura before, he asked them what they wanted. After understanding their situation, Chu Lingyun asked Shuicheng Jun to send them back.
The four people have different demands. Yamaguchi Mitsukuma does not want to stay in the police station, he wants to go to a better place.
Chu Lingyun did not agree to this. He looked down upon the police department, but it was very important to Chu Lingyun.
The Japanese were short of manpower. After occupying Shanghai, they took over the Shanghai Police Department and still used the previous Chinese police.
But the Japanese are the masters, and these policemen are all following orders.
The police station is very important. Chu Lingyun has infiltrated an agent inside. If Yamada stays in the police station, it will be very convenient for the agent.
Yamada's position needs to be changed, at least he must have real power, otherwise how can he be obedient.
Naoki Ishii's request was much simpler. He wanted to be transferred to the economic department of the cleaning team.
This department has the most money and water, and you can eat and drink with just a little bit. Chu Lingyun agreed, but there was a requirement. After entering the economic department, he must give priority to the things he cleared out.
These are originally Chinese things. If they are useful, he will find a way to buy them at a low price and then send them to the rear for reuse.
Xiao Linbo had the highest demands. He wanted to enter the consulate and did not want to stay in the Qingshui Yamen.
You can do whatever you want when you get to the consulate, it's better than looking at the gate before.
All four people are useful. Although they are not in the intelligence department, they can still provide a lot of important information in their respective fields.
Especially after all these places have people, whether it is the Shanghai Station or the wartime intelligence team, it will be more convenient to work in the future.
In Zhejiang Province, inside a temple on a mountain.
Chu Lingyun said goodbye to an old monk who was very old and whom Chu Lingyun saved during the Battle of Shanghai.
He knew the temple where the old monk was.
This temple is not big. The old monk originally had an apprentice, but he was killed by the Japanese during the war. Now he is the only one left in the temple.
Chu Lingyun gave him a sum of money, enough money for his living.
This is where Tomotaka Hosokawa lives in seclusion. Chu Lingyun always behaves like Tomotaka Hosokawa every time she sees him.
The old monk promised Chu Lingyun that he would help cover the young man.
No matter who he is or who he is, as long as someone asks him, he will say that he lives here during this period, usually likes to read and write, and never goes out.
The old monk has only a few years to live, but he does not understand everything.
Chu Lingyun is a member of the Guo Army and a person who resists Japan.
Hiding a Japanese here and letting him help cover it must be something beneficial to the country.
If he was young, he would kill the enemy with Chu Lingyun, but he is old and can't kill anymore, so he will use this meager power to make his final contribution.
He is not afraid of death. When he lives to his age, his apprentice is gone. Death is a kind of relief for him.
No one should try to get the real situation from him in any way.
After talking to the old monk
, Chu Lingyun left.
The matter between the four people is a bit troublesome, and this time they must use the identity of Hosokawa Tomotaka to come forward.
The first place Chu Lingyun arrived was not the work place of any of the four of them, but the Military Police Headquarters.
"Please inform Commander Matsumoto that his little friend is visiting.
Chu Lingyun came to the front of the headquarters alone and said politely to the sentry.
"you are?"
The sentry looked at the young man in confusion. This young man seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Give this to General Matsumoto, and he will know who I am."
Chu Lingyun took out a manuscript and handed it over. The person who asked to see the commander was very elegant and well-spoken. He did not dare to neglect and went over to report immediately.
"manuscript?"
General Matsumoto's secretary took the thing handed over by the sentry with confusion. After opening it and looking through it for a few times, his eyes immediately tightened.
The content of the manuscript was something the general had written, but it had been revised. The focus was on the handwriting, which he recognized.
Not long ago, the general received a letter from Tomotaka Hosokawa. It was written in this handwriting.
The manuscript was unsigned, and the secretary immediately took the manuscript into the office.
"General, this may have been given to you by Master Hosokawa. The sentry said he was outside the door. I asked him about his appearance and it does look like him."
The secretary quickly reported that the sentry had not seen Hosokawa Tomotaka, but he had seen the photos sent when he was looking for Hosokawa Tomotaka before, so he would feel familiar.
Time passed so long that the sentry didn't think about it for a moment.
"Yes, it's Ji Hyo. He's back. Come on, come with me to pick him up."
Matsumoto looked at the manuscript carefully and immediately confirmed that these were several articles he had written, and he had asked Hosokawa Tomotaka to help revise them.
As a result, Tomotaka Hosokawa left Shanghai and did not come back for a long time.
He had even forgotten about this matter. He didn't expect that Hosokawa Tomotaka would suddenly deliver it in person today.
