Chapter 677: One Word, Withdraw
"Yes, it's a big trouble." Kawasaki Shunsuke said solemnly: "It can turn the smuggled materials into reasonable and legal logistics transfers."
"It also contains the approval document from the Ministry of the Army, the material review information form from the Logistics Department, and the material transfer form."
"This is simply not something that can be accomplished by one or two senior executives."
"To put it mildly, this is the work of the Expeditionary Forces Logistics Department and the Joint Transportation Department."
“But if you think about it in a broader sense, the entire logistics department of the Southern Army may be involved.”
"If this thing gets out, it will be a problem for hundreds of logistics officers."
"Maybe the entire southern logistics department will have to be replaced."
"Haha, several hundred logistics officers plus those senior military officers."
"With so many people being removed from office, the imperial government will have a huge headache just dealing with personnel issues."
"Where can you find so many people to replace them? And how can you guarantee that these people will not attack the supplies like them?"
"If we can't solve these problems, how can we talk about solving the problems on the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible?"
"Does the Empire need to learn from the Soviet Union and launch a massive purge from top to bottom?"
"If we really do this, we might not even be able to gather enough personnel to command the battle."
"Nagano-kun, if it really comes to that, the two of us will be the sinners of the Empire's plan to dominate Asia, and everyone will want us to commit seppuku to apologize."
Nagano Seiichi sighed and said, "It would be great if we could really bring these people to justice."
"To be honest, if we can really solve the problem of corruption, it will be an explanation to the empire, and I will be willing to commit seppuku."
"What I fear most is that after we find out these things and hand them over, the higher-ups will weigh the severity of the situation and simply say, 'That's it, it won't happen again.'"
"Then we will really be the ones who are taken advantage of..."
"They can't hold everyone responsible, but what about us who have fought for the empire? Ha, then we will offend officials from all over China, hundreds of people, all of them powerful officials. This will be a huge scapegoat."
"Once they recover, they will eat us alive in one bite each."
"Not only us, but even our families may not be able to live in peace."
"Hey, Kawasaki-kun, what kind of magic did Minister Chen use to drag down the entire southern logistics department?"
Kawasaki Shunsuke smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't imagine it. If I could think of it, I would go to the Joint Transportation Department and arrest Minister Chen right now."
"Nagano-kun, now I know why he, the Minister of the Joint Transportation Department, can mobilize the three major intelligence agencies in Shanghai to chase and intercept us."
"This person is really powerful."
"He has great powers. This is already underestimating him. If I guess correctly, our situation will be even more difficult. Nagano Cheng said: "Today we check the material warehouse. If we can't find any evidence, we will immediately face the opponent's counterattack."
"Besides, I think even the Osaka Chamber of Commerce might be implicated."
Kawasaki Shunsuke was shocked: "No way, this Minister Chen doesn't take us seriously, and now he even dares to touch the Osaka Chamber of Commerce?"
Before Nagano Seiichi could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Nagano Makoto immediately pulled out a pistol from behind. At this time, all the members of the Supervisory Group were asleep, so who would come over?
A deep male voice came from the door: "Colonel Nagano, I am Tomohisa Nishida of the Black Dragon Society. Mr. Yamamoto has sent you a telegram."
Nagano Seiichi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
When I opened the door, a man in a suit was standing there.
"Nishida-kun, thank you for your hard work." Nagano Seiichi said softly, making way for him to come in.
Nishida Tomohisa shook his head and handed a telegram to Nagano Makoto with both hands: "We have informed Mr. Yamamoto of what happened tonight."
"This is the message Mr. Yamamoto sent you."
"Where did you get this radio station?" Nagano Seiichi asked a little confused.
Nishida Tomohisa was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's not our radio station, it's from the Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau."
"We have received an order from Mr. Yamamoto. All personnel are on standby at the Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau 24 hours a day. We are to report to him any incidents in Shanghai by radio at any time."
Nagano Seiichi nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Yamamoto is still very thoughtful."
"In that case, I won't keep Nishida-kun here. Take care."
Tomohisa Nishida bowed to the two of them and quickly left Xinmin Hotel.
Makoto Nagano watched the other person leave, looked around, made sure no one followed, and quickly closed the door.
"What does Mr. Yamamoto want us to do?" Kawasaki Shunsuke came over.
When Nagano Makoto opened the telegram, both of them were stunned for no reason.
"Do not act rashly. At daybreak, all personnel must evacuate immediately. The Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau will assist. The target is the Qingtian Hotel in Zhabei District. The Black Dragon Society has already made arrangements."
After reading the telegram, the two looked at each other.
"Mr. Yamamoto, are you asking us to retreat in order to advance?"
"Retreating to Qingtian Hotel, what exactly is his plan?"
Nagano Seiichi pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps he has his own plans. We are all in the same boat and should trust him."
"Kawasaki-kun, go inform everyone to evacuate immediately at daybreak."
"Hi...."
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
"All gone?" Chen Yang looked at Qingqi Qingyin with an ugly expression.
The Mei Agency was tasked with keeping an eye on the supervisory team, but they actually lost track of the team of more than a dozen people.
This is the empire's premier intelligence agency, and such a huge mistake could occur even if they were keeping an eye on a few people.
Qingqi Qingyin explained in a low voice: "They returned empty-handed yesterday. We thought they would not make any moves in the near future. The people who were following them were a little careless."
"I didn't see any of their people coming out to eat breakfast in the morning, so the people who were following them realized something was wrong and rushed up to check."
"It was then that we discovered that they all left the Xinmin Hotel at five in the morning."
"It's not clear where they went yet."
"Mr. Chen, do you need to send someone out to investigate? I believe they are hiding."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. If they want to hide, then let them hide."
"Now all institutions in the Shanghai Stock Exchange have made emergency plans. No matter how they investigate, they will not find any problems."
"We shouldn't take the initiative to jump out at this time. The more we do, the more mistakes we make. We should just pretend we don't know anything."
"Qingqi-kun, withdraw all your men and do what needs to be done."
"I heard that the 89th Army of the Nationalist government and the Fourth Front Army of the New Army are currently fighting in northern Jiangsu, and even the Red Party and the Military Control Commission in Shanghai are having some problems."
