Chapter 833: Success or Failure, You Have to Go
"Mr. Fujino, you are gambling with your future,"
Otani Genichirō's expression was somewhat complicated, and he slowly said, "What if the spy doesn't fall for it? Have you ever thought about how it will end?"
"If you want to carry out this plan, you will have to mobilize 80,000 troops, which is a huge expense."
"More than that, if everyone follows the intelligence you gave us, the anti-counterrevolutionary plan will not succeed."
"When the time comes, what reasons will you give to protect the lives of the imperial soldiers?"
"Are you really determined to let tens of thousands of imperial soldiers pay the price of their lives for your guess?"
"I'm afraid if something happens, you won't have a chance to return to Japan alive."
"What if? There is no what if." Fujino Hirofumi turned around and said slowly: "This is the only chance. I have ordered Lieutenant Colonel Sonoda of the Hangzhou Special High Section to lead people to keep an eye on Major General Mizukawa, Colonel Takeda and Director Nakanishi."
"Jiang Tengjun will lead his men to keep an eye on the other few people. This time, we must find the mole."
"If it fails, I will take all the responsibility and ask to return to my homeland."
Otani Genichirō was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Fujino, there is a saying in China that there is a long way to go."
"You are gambling with your own future. Isn't it too costly?"
"You should know that even if such a plan succeeds, it will not do you any good."
"Benefits? Otani-kun, do you think I went to so much trouble to do so many things just for the sake of benefits?" Fujino Hirofumi said contemptuously, "You underestimate me too much."
"The cause of the empire cannot be sabotaged by anyone. What I have to do now is to catch the mole that is endangering the cause of the empire."
"Even if I have to trade my own position for this high-ranking spy, I don't care,"
"A mole lurking in the upper echelons can cause unimaginable destructive power."
"But..." Otani Genichiro wanted to say something else, but Fujino Hirofumi no longer wanted to argue with him on this issue.
He gently patted Otani Genichirō's shoulder and said, "After this incident, I will definitely lose my position as commander."
"Whether we can catch this spy or not, I have only one option left, which is to be transferred back to the mainland."
"I am very grateful for Otani-kun's help during this period, but I also want to remind you that you have been in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for too long."
"It seems that they have become accustomed to the way things are done here, and they are applying the bureaucratic methods to intelligence work, which is not good."
"Otani-kun, you must remember that you are an official of the empire. Don't be blinded by the little bit of profit in front of you."
Otani Genichirō was slightly shocked: "Mr. Fujino, you don't think that I have to consider Minister Chen's face when doing things, right?"
Fujino Hirofumi did not give a direct answer, but just smiled meaningfully.
Of course, he also didn't think that Otani would stand on the same side with Chen Yang.
You know, Chen Yang first pointed a gun at someone's forehead, and then had several conflicts with the Special High Police because of the matter of Minamida Yunko.
When General Dofeiyuan was around, Chen Yang could still give the Special High Police some face.
Things were different after Fujino Hirofumi came to power.
He came to Shanghai from Japan and acted as if he was going to target Chen Yang as soon as he arrived. However, he had to give up when he couldn't find any evidence.
The Special High Police and Chen Yang are now at a point where they don't interfere with each other.
But if the two sides were to make peace, it would probably be very difficult. If Chen Yang found an opportunity, he would definitely try to kill them.
What Fujino Hirobumi meant was that Otani Genichiro should stick to his own position and never follow the example of the Umeki Agency and the Manchurian Railway.
Turn these intelligence agencies into dogs of Chen Yang...
After all, the entire Shanghai market knows that as long as Chen Yang gives a call, the three major intelligence agencies, Manchuria Railway, Mei Agency and No. 76, will immediately send people out to do the work.
"Mr. Fujino, you have to understand that I am an imperial soldier, not a dog raised by some people."
Genichirō Otani was obviously dissatisfied with what Hirobumi Fujino said.
Fujino Hirofumi smiled slightly, and the next moment he seemed to have made a decision. He walked to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a letter of resignation that he had already written.
He handed it to Otani Genichirō with both hands and said, "Otani-kun, after this matter is over, please give this resignation letter to Commander Nishio."
"Don't worry, I will take all the responsibility. If there is a chance, come back to my homeland and have a drink with me."
Otani Genichirō sighed deeply, with a complex expression in his eyes, not sure if it was regret or admiration...

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Joint Transport Department.
"Higashino-kun, didn't the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters issue an order for the anti-counterrevolutionary plan? How come the Logistics Department hasn't transferred the supplies to its warehouse yet?"
"They don't want us to pay for them, do they?"
"This is supplies for 80,000 troops. We need more than 2,000 tons of supplies. How can we have so much supplies in our warehouse?"
"Call Colonel Kobayashi of the Logistics Department right away and ask him what's going on."
"If they don't disburse the funds, it will likely affect the war on the front line. I won't take the blame for this."
After he finished speaking, Chen Yang hung up the intercom without waiting for Dong Ye Daimu to explain.
Looking at the pile of application forms for supplies on the table, Chen Yang had a vague feeling that things were not that simple this time.
This involves the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops and large-scale military operations. According to past rules, the supplies should have entered the warehouse earlier.
And he, as the Minister of Transport, arranges and dispatches vehicles for transportation.
The railways in Zhejiang Province were somewhat different from those in later generations. At that time, there was only one railway, starting from Shanghai, passing through Hangzhou, Wucheng, and Quzhou to reach Jiangxi Province.
After the supplies from Tonglu, Fuyang and other areas around Hangzhou enter Hangzhou, they will be allocated by the Hangzhou Logistics Department.
There are no trains to places farther away, such as Lishui and Wenzhou, and all transportation requires cars.
The expeditionary force headquarters should be aware of this situation, why are they still dragging their feet in raising supplies?
Of course, Chen Yang didn't know that this operation was completely a deliberate spread of false information by the Special Higher Police in order to target spies lurking in the high-level positions of the expeditionary force.
Even the expeditionary army headquarters couldn't believe that Fujino Hirofumi would be so bold as to use a force of tens of thousands of people as bait.
Their mobilization order has been issued, and now they are just waiting for the spy hiding in the Red Party mentioned in the Special High Section report to send back accurate information.
Little did they know that this so-called spy hidden in the Red Party was just a cover and in fact this person did not exist at all.
Everything was planned by Fujino Hirofumi, but some people couldn't sit still...
