Chapter 894: Being a Bad Guy
Guo Zuming was not a fool, he could naturally hear the meaning of keeping people at a distance in Chen Yang's words.
However, it was Minister Bao who personally instructed him to come to Shanghai.
Establishing diplomatic relations with the Soviets is the top priority of the Jinling government. How could he give up just because of a few words from Chen Yang?
"Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I came here just to see if there is anything I can do to help you."
Guo Zuming said seriously: "The Jinling government attaches great importance to this intelligence sharing plan."
"You have worked in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for a long time, so you may not be familiar with the procedures and operations of Jinling."
"My job is to help you avoid these cumbersome procedures. I can coordinate with any department for you as long as you need it."
Coordinate with any department? Chen Yang looked straight at Guo Zuming, which made him feel uneasy.
"Staff Officer Guo, I don't know if you have this ability. It just so happens that the 11th Army plans to launch a military operation against Changsha in late August or early September."
"The logistics department of the dispatched army is under great pressure at present. On the one hand, we have to take into account the joint cleanup operation in the five southern provinces,"
"On the one hand, we need to collect various supplies for the army in Changsha."
"I have discussed this with Mayor Zhou and asked the Jinling government to help solve some of the material problems."
“But the other party’s answer was to follow the process.”
"Since Staff Officer Guo can coordinate the Jinling government, then can the issue of supplies be resolved as soon as possible?"
Guo Zuming was stunned...
This officer is really something. Is he pretending not to understand or is he really not understanding?
Minister Bao had made it clear in his letter that he came to Shanghai to assist in the intelligence sharing program.
Chen Yang actually asked him to coordinate supplies?
If he dares to agree, who will be responsible for the allocation of those materials? Even Mayor Zhou has been shirking the responsibility. Does he, a chief of staff, have such authority?
But if that doesn't work, then what he said about being able to coordinate the Jinling government is just empty talk.
I've heard that Chief Chen is a man who only cares about money, but you can't be like that.
Is it appropriate for you to ask for money when we just met for the first time?
"Colonel Guo, can you please say something?" Chen Yang looked a little impatient.
"The 11th Army's offensive mission is urgent. Nanjing has the responsibility to provide all conveniences to the empire."
Guo Zuming hesitated and didn't dare to respond. He found a random excuse and left the Joint Transport Department.
Seeing Guo Zuming running away, Chen Yang sneered, "Tsk, you found a greenhorn to look at me, do you think I'm tough?"
It’s not that Chen Yang is so powerful, he can see at a glance that Guo Zuming is just a useless person.
But he heard it from the other party's words.
A mature official would never take on too much and would never say something as stupid as being able to coordinate the Jinling government.
It's obvious that this Guo Zuming got promoted through connections. He has always been close to Bao Wenyue and thinks highly of himself, but in fact he has no ability at all.
Such a person can actually hold a high position in the Jinling government. It seems that the Jinling government is not as good as the one in Shancheng.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
Before Chen Yang finished complaining, the phone rang.
"I am Chen Yang from the Joint Transportation Department."
"Chen Yang, come to the consulate now." Li Xianshu's voice came from the other side.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang did not dare to delay and quickly asked Takada Junxiao to prepare the car and drive to the consulate.
Meeting room on the third floor of the Consulate.
Chen Yang rushed in without knocking on the door: "Aunt, is there something important that you are looking for me so urgently?"
Li Xianshu took off her glasses and looked at Chen Yang and said, "Commander Terauchi's ship will arrive tonight. Please arrange a car to pick him up."
That's it? Chen Yang whispered, "Uh, didn't you say last time that his ship would arrive tomorrow? How come it's ahead of schedule?"
Li Xianshu shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but I have a few documents here that I need you to pass on to His Excellency Terauchi."
Chen Yang was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Aunt, why don't you just ask Matsushima-kun to deliver the document? Why do you suddenly want to transfer it to me?"
Li Xianshu hesitated for a moment, then said, "These documents are about the Japanese, and many people are watching them."
"If Matsushima-kun goes to deliver it, it will easily cause some people to make unnecessary speculations. It would be more appropriate for you to go."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Aunt, you are really not afraid that I will offend people."
Li Xianshu's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but she still said: "Don't think too much, it's just some documents."
Chen Yang said calmly, "That's not even worth thinking about. You want me to personally hand it over to Lord Terauchi, and it's about the Japanese, so I can't let Matsushima deliver it. That means the Japanese in the information can suppress Matsushima at any time."
"So it seems that the information you want me to hand over to Lord Terauchi is the background check documents of the senior officers of the expeditionary army."
"Why? The first step for China to take after the Terauchi Cabinet is to take action against the senior officials of the dispatched army?"
"Isn't he being a little too hasty?"
Li Xianshu sighed, looked at Chen Yang and said, "You, sometimes I really think you are too smart, nothing can fool you."
"The issue of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's top brass was assigned by the Mainland General Staff Headquarters."
"Mr. Nishio has spent several years without making any significant progress. Local authorities believe that he has some problems with personnel appointments."
"That's why the mainland asked our consulate to issue a background check document so that Mr. Terauchi can make personnel changes."
"Don't worry, I know what you are worried about. It seems that your joint transportation department has no problems with efficiency or organizational structure."
"There will be no transfers in your department for the time being."
"The main targets now are the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Information Department, Special Affairs Department, Operations Command, and General Staff."
Chen Yang frowned: "Aunt, these units you mentioned are all related to intelligence."
"Why? The locals still don't trust Director Nakanishi's confession. Do they still think that the intelligence department has Director Nakanishi's people?"
Li Xianshu sighed and said, "Chen Yang, you should know that this is the nature of intelligence work."
"There is a spy among the high-ranking members of the expeditionary force. Implicate is inevitable."
"You want to be a good person, and Commander Nishio has seen that, but don't think that the locals are all fools."
"No matter how perfect your confession is, those mechanisms were built under the supervision of Mr. Nakanishi."
"From the moment Nakanishi was arrested, those intelligence agencies were already labeled as untrustworthy."
"Just because Commander Nishio trusts them doesn't mean others will trust them as well."
"Also, the military is not allowed to make deals. Commander Anan's plan to attack Changsha was approved by Commander Nishio. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Commander Nishio wanted to leave a way out for those people before he left. This is not acceptable."
"The teacher said, you've been a good person long enough, it's time to be a bad person for once."
