Qingshan had just worked in Hongkou Warehouse for many years, and this kind of wrangling was not uncommon.
He was experienced and in no rush.
"Lieutenant Takeda, please calm down. We don't know that this is the product of the Military Police Headquarters. It will be no problem for you to take it back, but there are some procedures that must be completed. Please wait."
"Excuse me."
Takeda Hiroshi's expression softened a lot, as long as he didn't refuse, it didn't matter if he waited for a while, as long as the goods were returned to him in the end.
The confiscated goods have been approved by the headquarters, so they need to go to the headquarters to go through the procedures. Even if they are goods from the Military Police Headquarters, this process must be followed.
Aoyama asked Takeda Hiroshi to rest in the reception room while he went to do these things.
It was not that he was afraid of the Military Police Headquarters, but based on the principle that doing more was better than doing less. He couldn't swallow this batch of goods, so it had little to do with him.
The power of the military police is not small. There is no need to offend him. He can just report it according to normal procedures.
Takeda Hiroshi sat for a while and then stood up.
When he passed by Nishida Shinya, he glared at him again, which made Nishida tremble violently.
If a captain seizes Ishihara-kun's goods, he will definitely be punished later.
It is too easy for the military police to deal with such a person. They can just find any excuse and make him suffer.
Fortunately, it was him who came today. If Takemoto came, he would kill him directly.
He had never noticed before that Takemoto was so cruel and ruthless, but he had heard that many merchants had been forced to have their families destroyed by Takemoto recently.
Coming outside, Takeda Hiroshi looked into the distance.
The Hongkou Warehouse is the empire's most important munitions storage place in Shanghai. It is very majestic, with neat warehouses as far as the eye can see.
The roads here are very clean and there are sentries standing guard near each warehouse.
There are patrols passing by from time to time, so there is absolutely no problem with safety.
I just don’t know where the heavy artillery that Shimakura-kun mentioned last time is.
With a few people, Takeda Hiroshi walked inside unnaturally.
He was a military policeman and a lieutenant colonel. When he entered the Hongkou Warehouse, no one dared to stop him, whether they were sentries or patrolling soldiers.
"Where is our newly arrived 150 heavy artillery piece?"
Passing by a sentry, Takeda couldn't help but ask. Surprise appeared in the sentry's eyes, and he shook his head: "Sir, I don't know."
He is just a sentry, with a very low level, responsible for guarding the warehouse where he is. He has no idea what is in other warehouses or what has been sent here.
"All right."
Takeda didn't make it difficult for him. It was normal for a soldier not to know. After all, this was a weapon of the empire.
He was not in a hurry and continued to move forward.
The soldiers didn't know, but the officers always knew. He had no other intention than to see the powerful weapons of the empire.
Takeda Hiroshi has been in the Military Police since graduation and has been exposed to a lot of ordinary weapons, but he has never seen such heavy artillery.
He had never thought of using such a sharp weapon. It would be fine if he could touch it. It would be even better if he could take a photo with the cannon.
Ishida Xiaoshan and others rushed to the Hongkou warehouse.
At the gate, he was also blocked.
"Your Majesty, Major, please show your pass."
The person who stopped him was a lieutenant, not of high rank, but the rules of the warehouse were that no one was allowed to enter without a pass, not to mention the major, not even the major general.
"I am Ishida Koyama, the leader of the Special High School Intelligence Team. This is my ID."
Ishida Koyama took out his ID, but the lieutenant refused: "Sorry, it must be a pass."
"Can I make a phone call?"
Ishida Koyama did not ask for forced entry. It is normal for the warehouse to be strict and strict management. He was not really handling the case this time, but was helping Mitsui investigate the seizure of Ishihara Trading Company's goods.
There is no need for him to conflict with these gatekeepers.
"Section Chief, a military police officer came before me. It was a Lieutenant Colonel. The goods from Ishihara Trading Company were confiscated in the Hongkou Warehouse. A pass is required to enter the warehouse."
Ishida Koyama was allowed to make a phone call, and he reported truthfully. Mitsui's face tightened slightly.
The goods of Ishihara Trading Company were really seized, and the military police were dispatched earlier than them.
This is not surprising to him. He understands Ishihara Hiroshi's relationship within the military police. Takemoto, the intelligence chief of the military police, follows Ishihara Hiroshi's lead.
"I will apply for a pass for you right away. When the pass is delivered, I will immediately ask about all the circumstances. If the people from the Military Police Command want goods, help them leave."
Mitsui told him that it was not difficult to apply for a pass. He was the person in charge of the Special High School Course and a colonel, so he could get it with just a phone call.
It didn't take long for the person from the extra-high school class to send him the pass.
With the pass, people at the door no longer block you and let you go respectfully.
"Team Leader Ishida, are you also here for the goods from Ishihara Trading Company?"
In the office area, Ishida Koyama saw Tsuyoshi Aoyama. Tsuyoshi Aoyama was very surprised and couldn't help but glance at Shinya Nishida who was waiting honestly.
Doesn’t Westfield investigate people’s backgrounds before deducting goods?
Not only did a Lieutenant Colonel from the Gendarmerie just arrive, but now people from the Special Higher Education Course are actually involved.
The Special High School is not a gendarmerie and has no direct jurisdiction over them.
But the mission of the Special High School is counterintelligence, which really offends them. If they suspect you have provided intelligence to the Chinese, they can arrest you for investigation.
For a lieutenant like him, the special high class would not act easily, but Nishida was just a captain, and they would dare to do this if they were anxious.
"Yes, our section chief takes this matter very seriously."
Ishida replied, Nishida Shinya was already dumbfounded at this moment, why did he involve the special high school class again?
Although he is a major, he is the leader of the intelligence team.
He is not a novice who doesn't understand. The section chief of the Shanghai Special High School is a colonel, and the intelligence team leader is usually a lieutenant colonel. Since this major has become the intelligence team leader, it won't take long for him to be promoted to lieutenant colonel.
Besides, the Intelligence Team is the most important department of the Super High School.
Once he is targeted by the intelligence agency, he will never be able to live in peace in the future.
"Lieutenant Colonel Takeda Hiroshi of the Military Police arrived just now. I have already reported it for coordination. This batch of goods is guaranteed by the Military Police Headquarters and will be returned to Ishihara Trading Company soon. However, whether it is for you or Lieutenant Colonel Takeda, you need to negotiate."
Qingshan Gang had a very good attitude, and the military police and the special high school were dispatched at the same time, letting him understand that the owner behind this batch of goods was very powerful.
He didn't want to get involved in such a matter, it was just business.
"Where is Lieutenant Commander Takeda?" Ishida Koyama asked.
"I don't know either. He went out just now. Go look outside."
Aoyama shook his head. Takeda Hiroshi was a lieutenant colonel. He didn't want to sit and wait. He wanted to go out and have a look. He couldn't stop him and there was no need to stop him.
"good."
Ishida Koyama immediately agreed, and he had sufficient reasons to go to Takeda Hiroshi.
He now hopes that Takeda will go as far as possible so that he can have the opportunity to record more topographical maps.
After Ishida Koyama went out, Aoyama's expression immediately dropped, and he scolded Nishida Shinya: "You didn't do any investigation before confiscating it and gave us trouble. You can handle this matter yourself."
If it was not confiscated and the goods were still at the dock, it would naturally have nothing to do with their warehouse.
The fault lies with Shinya Nishida, who confiscated the goods without doing any investigation and sent them to the warehouse, thus bringing trouble to them.
Nishida Zhen was also his boss, and he knew very well that the two were in cahoots.
He usually doesn't get many benefits, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with Xi Tian, so naturally he won't help him now.
"Lord Aoyama, I really didn't know that what Ishihara Hiroshi said was true." Shinya Nishida replied with a sad face.
"You should find a way to make up for it yourself."
Aoyama just left these words and returned to his office. He asked lazily about Nishida Shinya.
Nishida Zhen was also at the dock. The cargo ships coming and going always treated him respectfully, and some bosses with backgrounds also said hello in advance.
Mitsui did make a promise to Ishihara Toru and said hello, but he said hello to the upper level, not to middle- and lower-level officers like Nishida Shinya.
The level difference between the two is too big and they are out of reach.
The people above remembered this, but Nishida Zhenya didn't know about it. In addition, Chu Lingyun deliberately angered him. Before the above knew anything, Chu Lingyun's goods were confiscated.
After Ishida Koyama walked out, he did not see Takeda Hiroshi.
He led the people to search slowly, constantly writing down the terrain along the way. The warehouse was too big for him to remember everything, but he could remember everything he could see.
At this moment, Takeda Hiroshi was still looking for those heavy artillery pieces.
"Can not look?"
Takeda Hiroshi finally found the warehouse where the heavy artillery was stored, and made a request to the guarding squadron leader. He wanted to see these heavy artillery pieces and just let him touch them.
"Lieutenant Takeda, I'm sorry, this batch of heavy artillery is very important. Once the second batch arrives, it will be handed over to the newly built heavy artillery regiment and rushed to the battlefield. They are currently separated and you can't see anything."
The guarding squadron leader had the rank of captain and was very polite to Takeda Hiroshi.
"Can you please be accommodating and separate? I just want to see the empire's powerful weapons."
Takeda Hiroshi frowned. At this time, he did not realize the harm caused by doing so.
Heavy artillery is very important, just like the navy's large warships. The navy has built powerful warships, and the navy's soldiers also want to board the ship to take a look.
And the Navy never refuses, and even often organizes soldiers from the Naval Academy and other warships to visit their new warships.
The purpose is to boost morale.
This is even funnier now, during the battle.
The British Dreadnought-class battleship was boarded by several wealthy people to inspect it, and even proposed to purchase such a warship.
The current sense of confidentiality is far less strong than that of later generations.
Even in later generations, soldiers who are not armored soldiers can't help but want to go up and touch the majestic tank when they see it.
"It really doesn't work, unless the command agrees."
The squadron leader shook his head again, looked at the cannon, went to the headquarters to go through the formalities, and made a fuss, Takeda Hiroshi would not be like this.
"Forget it, I'll just watch from the side."
Takeda Hiroshi was very disappointed. He came here to ask for goods for Ishihara Hiroshi, and seeing the cannon was just his own interest.
Business is important. If you can’t see it this time, there will be opportunities in the future.
Takeda Hiroshi walked around the warehouse where the cannons were stored several times, but failed to find a place where he could see the cannons, so he returned disappointed.
"Sir, the people from the Extra-High School are looking for you."
As he was turning, his subordinates came to report. Ishida Koyama deliberately turned around several times in the warehouse, and finally found Takeda Hiroshi in the center.
"Captain Takeda."
Ishida Xiaoshan stepped forward to say hello. He was now a major, and the other party was a lieutenant colonel. It was reasonable for him to say hello first.
"Hello, Leader Ishida."
Takeda Hiroshi is not too fond of people in the Special High School Course. He knows that Ishida Koyama is Hoshino's opponent and wears the same pants as Mitsui, the head of the Special High School Course.
Hoshino's death was due to Ishida.
"Our section chief asked me to ask what happened to the goods from Ishihara Trading Company."
"It's okay. This batch of goods was an accident. I can take it back in a while. You don't have to ask."
Takeda Hiroshi immediately shook his head. It turned out that the other party came here for the goods from Ishihara Trading Company. It was impossible for him to give this batch of goods to the Special High School. He brought this batch of goods back. Not only was it a mission for General Matsumoto, but he could also accumulate contributions to the literary club. Spend.
"Okay, please."
Ishida Koyama did not insist. The section chief asked him to check the situation and told him to help the Military Police Headquarters request the goods. Takeda Hiroshi did it all, which just saved him some time.
"fine."
Takeda Hiroshi snorted, Ishida Koyama looked around and immediately led the people away.
On the way back in the car, he kept recalling the terrain in the Hongkou Warehouse in his mind. He didn't have the chance to draw it now. He could only do it after he got back. He had to remember it firmly.
After returning to the special high school class, Ishida went back to his office and drew a sketch so as not to forget it.
This sketch was very confusing, and only he himself could understand it.
"Section Chief, the people from the gendarmerie went ahead of time, and the people at the warehouse promised to return the goods to them."
After putting away the sketch, Ishida came to Mitsui's office to report.
The people from the Military Police Headquarters helped Ishihara Trading Company get the goods back. Mitsui was not surprised at all, but this incident made him lose face. He had guaranteed it before.
"I know, thank you for your hard work."
Mitsui nodded slightly. He didn't tell Ishida the reason, but he would go find someone personally and ask for an explanation for this matter.
In Hongkou Warehouse, Takeda Hiroshi finally waited for the procedures.
They did it very quickly this time. Since it was the goods from the Military Police Headquarters, there was no reason to confiscate them. The people at the headquarters were not embarrassed. When the warehouse saw the procedures, they immediately let it go.
"Is the number correct? It's not too small, right?"
When loading, Takeda Hiroshi suddenly asked, and Nishida Shinya hurriedly lowered his head: "No, don't worry, this is the cargo list, I guarantee that there will be no missing items."
"That's good. If one thing is missing, you should be prepared to go to the prison of the Military Police Headquarters for a few days."
Takeda Hiroshi nodded slightly, not forgetting to threaten Nishida.
Nishida's intestines were almost filled with regret at this moment, and Ishihara Trading Company was firmly remembered in his heart, not because he wanted revenge, but because he must never offend him in the future.
What happened this time will be something he will remember forever.
It was lucky that nothing happened. As for the two slaps, he didn't dare to think about it. After offending such a powerful person, only receiving two slaps was definitely a very light punishment.
If someone is angry, with the energy he is showing right now, there is no problem in arresting him.
His butt is not clean. Whether it is to join the gendarmerie or the special high school, it will be difficult to get out.
"go back."
Takeda Hiroshi waved. He didn't have many vehicles with him. Nishida Zhenya helped him find a vehicle and personally led people to load the goods. Now he just wanted to send the goods back safely, so that if there were ships from Ishihara Trading Company in the future, he Absolutely no questions asked.
I'm really scared.
First update.
