Chapter 543 Setting up a stage to sing
After reading their orders, the guard at the door still had no intention of letting them pass. Instead, he said coldly, "Wait here."
The captain of the operations team of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau was actually looked down upon by a gatekeeper.
After waiting for a while, the warehouse door opened to both sides, and a row of soldiers armed with live ammunition walked out in neat steps.
Hiraoka Kanbei walked up to Chen Yang at the back of the team with a calm expression and said, "Director Chen, how did my two men offend you? Why did you do this?"
Chen Yang glanced at the corpse on the ground and sneered, "Captain Pinggang, these two people followed my car all the way. How do I know they are from the Mantetsu?"
"I suspect they want to steal the top-secret information from me..."
"Director Chen, that's enough." Hiraoka Kanbei said angrily, "I know you are in a high position, but please don't slander the Imperial Warriors."
"Do you have any evidence to prove that the two of them wanted to rob you of the top-secret information?"
"Why? They both admitted it themselves? Do you have a confession?"
Chen Yang's face condensed and he said calmly: "You want a confession, right? Nitta-kun, then write one for him."
Nitta Koichi suppressed a laugh and said, "Yes, Section Chief, Captain Hiraoka, whatever confession you want, I will write it to you right away."
"Shameless." Hiraoka Kanbei's face turned green. After all this trouble, people were just treating him like a monkey and playing with him...
This section chief is really capable of making up confessions for two dead men.
"Director Chen, I advise you to cooperate and hand over the person. We have the authorization from the Chinese Special Affairs Team and have the right to search the material warehouse."
Chen Yang pointed at the warehouse door with a smile on his face and said, "Okay, the warehouse door is right here, come in if you have the guts."
As he spoke, Chen Yang raised his hand backwards, and suddenly countless black gun muzzles appeared all around him.
Even the Taisho Type 92 heavy machine gun on the wall sentry post was aimed at Hiraoka Kanbei and his group.
It seemed that as long as the other party dared to walk into the warehouse, they would be greeted with a volley of bullets.
"Stop." As the voice rang out, Sato Fumitai walked out from behind.
"What are you arguing about?" Sato Fumitai glared at Hiraoka Kanbei, scaring the other person.
"General, we have been ordered to search the material warehouse and arrest the suspect..." Hiraoka Kanbei explained timidly, but he was interrupted by Sato Fumitai before he could finish his words.
"Bagayalu, what suspect? Where did the suspect come from? This is a material warehouse, the most important place in the logistics department. If you want to search it, you should ask Zhong Xigong to bring people here himself."
"Now, get out of here."
Hiraoka Kanbei shrank his neck, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, General, we'll leave right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people picked up the two bodies on the ground, started the car in a hurry, and drove away.
Sato Fumitai reached out to the side and Nakamura Cheng quickly handed him the account book.
"The account is fine, Mr. Chen. I will go back and report first. I will explain the matter of Yamamoto Yoshisaburo to the headquarters and will not let him affect the transportation route."
"Wait a minute," Chen Yang took the account book, handed it to Nitta Koichi behind him, and said to Sato Fumitai, "Mr. Sato, I have a few more words to say."
Sato Fumitai glanced around and said, "Let's talk in the car."
As they spoke, Sato Fumitai and Chen Yang got into the car one after the other, while the driver and Adjutant Nakamura stood a few meters away from the car with their hands hanging down.
"Mr. Sato, I think since Yoshisaburo Yamamoto wants to establish a joint transportation department, we can give him a chance?"
Chen Yang's words made Sato Buntai frown.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know what you think, but, let Yamamoto Yoshisaburo take charge of the transportation?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "I have calculated that if the Army Department wants to expand its victory this year and force the National Government to sign a surrender agreement, it will need strong military support."
"I can hand over the Pinghan Line and the Shanghai-Guangdong Line to him and let him join forces with the Manchuria Railway."
"Most of our material networks are located along the Jinpu Line, Longhai Line, Hangning Line and Zhengtai Line. The absence of the Pinghan Line will not have a big impact on material sales."
"I can understand giving him the Pinghan Line, but forget about the Shanghai-Guangdong Line." Sato Fumitsu's concerns are not unreasonable.
Gangcun is now stationed in Wuhan, on the Shanghai-Guangdong line. Wuhan is an extremely important transit hub and also the frontier of the imperial army.
The last Changsha battle did not achieve the expected results, and Gangcun retreated to Wuhan. He is now planning a second attack.
However, due to insufficient military budget, the expeditionary force planned to break through from other places and surround the important city of Changsha with strong forces.
Sato Fumitsu was afraid that handing over such an important transportation line would affect the war situation.
After all, he didn't think that Yoshisaburo Yamamoto could control the transportation lines in Chen Yang's hands.
"Not all of them will be handed over," Chen Yang said with a smile, "There is only one Shanghai Station in Shanghai now. We can add a Shanghai South Station and give some of the transportation pressure to Yamamoto Yoshisaburo."
"Even if he is incompetent and affects the transportation of supplies to the front line, I still have a line in my hand and can help him back up, so nothing serious will happen."
"The most important point is that if he wants these material transportation routes, he has to pay a price. The Mantetsu Railway is so rich that it should help us fill the previous holes."
"Even if we can't fill it up completely, at least 70% of it should be filled up. Otherwise, why would he want my transportation line?"
Sato Fumitai was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Mr. Chen is sacrificing his own interests for the benefit of everyone."
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's very simple. Doesn't he want to put on a big show? Then let's beat the gongs and drums and set up a stage for him. Let him make it as glorious as possible, and the bigger the noise, the better."
"It would be best if even the mainland knew about the joint transportation plan concocted by the Black Dragon Society and the Manchurian Railway."
Sato Fumitai frowned slightly, looked at Chen Yang meaningfully and said, "Mr. Chen, you praise him so highly. If he falls, he will die."
"You are a director of the Black Dragon Society. If you fall out with some people because of Yamamoto Yoshisaburo, I believe my wife would not want to see this situation..."
"She has high hopes for you."
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Mr. Sato, you don't have to worry about these. Madam promised that she would not interfere no matter what happens."
"They've come to my door, you can't just ask me to do nothing."
Sato Fumitai laughed: "You are right. Okay, then I will do as you wish."
Chen Yang opened the car door and said, "Then I won't keep you here, Mr. Sato. Goodbye."
"Chen Sang, goodbye."
The car of the logistics department of the expeditionary army drove farther and farther away. Chen Yang couldn't help but feel in a good mood and hummed a little tune.
"I watched him entertain guests, I watched him build a tall building, I watched his building collapse, I watched him jump down..."
