PFC Chapter 412 Reasonable Failure
Chapter 412 Reasonable Failure
"Father, please have some tea." Just as Chen Yang was stunned, Fujiwara Shizuka came over with tea, knelt on the carpet beside him, and respectfully served the tea to Fujiwara Nao.
Fujiwara Nao took the tea, took a sip, frowned slightly and said, "Hanako, your tea art seems to have declined."
"I've told you before that you need to calm your mind and steady your hands when making tea. Is it because your mind isn't calm enough?"
"Do you have anything to ask me?"
"I'm sorry, father." After hesitating for a moment, Fujiwara Shizuka slowly said, "General Doi-maru asked me to ask you a question. Is it true that the Navy Department is going to establish a joint fleet?"
"I almost forgot that you are still the head of the telecommunications section of the Shanghai Special High Section." Fujiwara Nao put down his teacup and said, "Go back and tell General Doiyuan that the Army Department does not need to worry about any decision made by the Navy Department."
"Just tell them to wait for the internal announcement regarding the Combined Fleet. It's getting late, and you should go to work."
Fujiwara Shizuka was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Chen Yang for help. Chen Yang took a sip of tea with an expressionless face.
Fujiwara Shizuka stood up helplessly, bowed slightly, and slowly stepped back.
"Ahem," Chen Yang coughed twice after seeing Fujiwara Shizuka leave, and said with a smile, "It seems that it is not appropriate for father and daughter to work in the same department."
Fujiwara Nao sighed and said, "I have never approved of Shizuka getting involved in these things, but she does have a talent for telecommunications."
"It is the ancestral motto of the Fujiwara family to devote our own strength to the empire."
"That's why I agreed to let her join the Special Higher Police."
"It's a pity that she learned telecommunications but not politics. So far, she hasn't learned a single thing from Mrs. Yamamoto."
"She is still so reckless in her actions. Is it possible for a little woman like her to interfere in matters between the Army and Navy Departments?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I remembered something."
"Rear Admiral Hiromoto mentioned to me the matter of the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet. I wonder which general Mr. Mine would recommend for this position?"
Fujiwara Nao's face darkened and he glanced at Chen Yang. He obviously knew who wanted to know the answer.
After hesitating for a long time, Fujiwara Nao took a sip of tea and slowly gave a name.
"Yamamoto Isoroku."
......
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Office of the Director of the Materials Operation Center.
"Yes, Mr. Hiromoto, Mr. Fujiwara's information will never be wrong."
"I understand. It's nothing. It's my honor to serve Mr. Guangben. What about the oil quota for next month?"
"Yes, yes, I will make arrangements, please rest assured, Master Guangben."
"Okay, see you in Tsukitasa."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
This drama is really exciting. It’s a long story, and it has to start from when Fujiwara Nao came to Shanghai.
In fact, Fujiwara Nao could have landed directly at Tianjin Port, taken a train to Manchukuo, then entered the Soviet Union from the Manchurian border, and taken a train on the Trans-Siberian Railway to Moscow.
However, before coming, he received an invitation from His Excellency Mr. Mine, the Minister of the Navy.
Minister Yonai was worried that the bear hunting plan carried out by the Army Ministry would further disrupt the Navy Ministry's plan, so he asked Fujiwara Nao to go to Shanghai to prevent the plan from going smoothly.
To put it bluntly, it is an internal fight between the navy and the army.
There is no way. The empire's cake is only so big. If the army eats one more bite, the navy will have to eat one less bite.
Even with the support of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu and the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu, the Navy still felt that it was not enough and they needed merit.
How to gain merit? It's simple, just become the main force on the battlefield.
The army has been unable to make a breakthrough in China, not only wasting a lot of resources, but also wasting 70% of its troops here.
Now it has proposed a northward expansion plan, hoping to gain more resources by controlling the Far East region.
This is absolutely intolerable for the Imperial Navy.
Assuming the army can win in the Far East, the navy will once again be reduced to a transport fleet.
The Navy was certainly not happy.
Fortunately, the Kwantung Army was not as brave as imagined on the Far East battlefield, and the continuous failures also caused the local people to question the army's offensive capabilities.
At this time, Mr. Mine took the opportunity to propose the formation of a joint maritime fleet and launch a plan to move south.
Just as the plan was taking shape and passed the cabinet's approval, the Army Department decided to launch the "Bear Hunting Plan."
If this plan succeeds, the Army Department may have another chance to win on the Far East battlefield, so Fujiwara's mission is to make this mission fail reasonably.
Fujiwara Nao gave this task to Chen Yang, on the condition that the Navy Department could help Chen Yang make up for all the deficits of the Army Logistics Department. After careful consideration, Chen Yang chose Dobi Yuan as his ally.
To do this, they need to put on a wonderful drama and choose a suitable scapegoat.
The person who takes the blame cannot be too insignificant or too important, and his position cannot be too high or too low. It is best not to obviously affect the relationship between the navy and the army.
It turned out that Ben Feiyuan was planning to let Qingqi Qingyin be the scapegoat, because the Special Higher Police knew that Qingqi Qingyin had a secret deal with the Military Control Commission.
According to the original plan, after the Military Intelligence Bureau assassins injured Minamida Yunko and Shibayama Kaneshiro at Ci'an Hospital, the Plum Agency would naturally take over the task from the Take Agency.
These two intelligence agencies have the same origin, so it makes sense that the Plum Agency would take over the work of the Take Agency.
However, Minamida Yunko was courting death. After knowing that her letter of accusation was intercepted midway, she still wanted to fight to the death and expose the fact that the officials of the logistics department embezzled supplies.
Chen Yang soon found out about this, because he had already planted a nail in Nan Tian Yunzi's side, Mitsui Taro...
After Chen Yang learned the news from Taro Mitsui, he immediately decided to change the original plan and let Minami Yunko take the blame.
Doiyuan originally wanted to fight for Nantian Yunzi, and Chen Yang agreed to his request. If Nantian Yunzi could understand the situation and not take over the bear hunting plan, then she would be lucky this time.
But if Minamida Yunko chooses to take over, there will be nothing that can be done.
Just like he said, people always have to pay the price for their choices.
Now the show has reached the halfway point and everyone has come out to show their faces.
It will be easy to figure out how to act next.
Chen Yang was struggling over whether or not to send the bear hunting plan back to Shancheng. However, if Nan Tian Yunzi was killed in Shanghai, the plan would not start.
Shancheng didn't have any cards to use to gain benefits from the Soviet Union.
But if we don't say anything, what if they really take action? This will be a good opportunity to ask the Soviet Union for a huge sum of money.
The life of the leader is very sacred in the hearts of the Soviet people.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yang decided to send this plan back to Shancheng.
As for how they are going to use this information to make money, that depends on Boss Dai's ability.
