Chapter 771 Why Not Ask for Assistance
"A small detachment of the Military Control Commission was able to obtain Thompson submachine guns and run rampant in Shanghai."
"Lieutenant Colonel Koizumi, you are the head of the Information Department of the Special High Section, and you didn't receive any news?"
"Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Koizumi Ken was stunned. Aren’t they talking about Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Teng’s action team?
How did he suddenly get to work in the Information Department?
Who is the biggest dealer in weapons in Shanghai? Don't you, Mr. Fujino, know?
Or do you think a mere lieutenant colonel like me can mess with the Minister of Transport?
If he really dares to ruin other people's business, he will probably have to take a bath in the Huangpu River sooner or later...
Genichiro Otani, who was standing by, stared at his leather shoes and didn't seem to want to explain for Kenichi Koizumi.
Koizumi Kenichi took a breath and said, "Mr. Fujino, there are many smugglers in Shanghai. If you have enough money, you can still get equipment like Thompson submachine guns in this place."
"Moreover, it seems that the purpose of the other party's actions has long been aimed at our Special High Section."
"I feel like they are using those escorts as bait to lure us in."
"If we could pay more attention and bring more people..."
Jiang Teng Naoki said dissatisfiedly: "Koizumi-kun, you said it lightly, do you know how many people I can mobilize now?"
"Nagaku-kun will keep an eye on the Joint Transportation Department, and Sakamoto-kun will keep an eye on the City Hall. Our action team is already short of manpower, so where can I find people?"
"Are you willing to lend me the people from your Information Investigation Department?"
It was originally just a complaint, but it sounded particularly harsh to Fujino Hirobumi's ears.
Could it be that Jiang Teng Naoki meant that Fujino Hirofumi made improper arrangements and sent all the limited manpower away, resulting in a shortage of personnel in their action team?
Are you putting the blame on your boss?
Fujino Hirofumi's face changed slightly, and Otani Genichirō beside him scolded: "Jiang Teng-kun, don't say anything nonsense."
"Mr. Fujino also arranged for the action team to follow him in order to identify whether there are people in the empire who have connections with Yamashiro."
"Are you now questioning the mistake of Mr. Fujino's decision?"
Jiang Teng Naoki was slightly stunned, and quickly bowed to Fujino Hirofumi and said, "Mr. Fujino, that's not what I meant."
"I'm just stating the facts."
Okay, okay, okay, your explanation is more embarrassing than no explanation.
Fujino Hirofumi's face turned pale. These people were singing the same tune, obviously saying that he should not send people to monitor Mayor Zhou and Minister Chen.
It seems that he is the one responsible for this incident.
There was silence in the office for a while, and suddenly, a disturbing phone ring sounded.
Fujino Hirofumi answered the phone and heard Li Xianshu's voice on the other end.
"Fujino-kun, please come to the consulate immediately."
In China's intelligence agencies, the consulate has a slightly higher status, but it cannot interfere with the Special High Police.
However, Li Xianshu's identity is different. Her position is the locally appointed chief consultant of the Huaxia Information Department.
Although the Hua Xia Information Course has been merged, her position as general consultant has not been revoked.
If it comes to matters involving intelligence, even the fat general has to give her face.
What's more, Fujino Hirofumi took over General Doizo's position as a local intelligence expert, and he did not have an actual military rank.
After hanging up the phone, Fujino Hirofumi looked uncertain. After a while, he sighed and said, "Jiang Tengjun, write a report with the details before and after this operation."
"Otani-kun, Koizumi-kun, the key now is to find the whereabouts of this military control team."
"Koizumi-kun, as the head of the Information Investigation Division, this is your job."
"Lock on the target as soon as possible. As for Nagakuni-kun and Sakamoto-kun, have them complete their mission and return to the Special High Section to wait for orders."
"Hi..."
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Consulate, high-level offices.
"Mr. Fujino, please sit down." Li Xianshu bowed to Fujino Hirofumi who hurried to the consulate and invited him to sit down.
"Ma'am, that's fine. If you have anything to say, just tell me. The Special High Police has a lot of things to do."
Li Xianshu said calmly: "Mr. Fujino has just arrived in China and is not very familiar with the situation in the Shanghai market. I can understand this."
"However, since the Special High Section has obtained intelligence on the escort personnel of the Seventh War Zone, why didn't they communicate with other departments?"
"Do you know that the information these people hold is of great importance? How could you be so careless?"
Fujino Hirobumi suspected that Li Xianshu was making sarcastic remarks.
There was no communication. Ever since he prepared a plan to identify Minister Chen and Mayor Zhou, all agencies in Shanghai treated him like poison.
I was afraid of getting involved with him and getting into trouble.
Songhu Garrison Headquarters, Peace and National Salvation Army Headquarters.
He called these two places many times, but the other party kept making excuses.
Did he have to call Commander Nishio and ask the Chinese Expeditionary Force to send a special team to assist him in the case?
The Special Higher Police is just a police department. When will they be able to command the army?
Not to mention the Chinese Expeditionary Force, even the nearby Military Police Headquarters ignored him. Otherwise, the Special High Police's action team would not have been killed and injured so many people by a small team of the Military Control Commission.
The sky in Shanghai is so dark that not even the light can penetrate...
"Madam, the Special Higher Police were not well prepared for this incident, and we are willing to take responsibility." Fujino Hirofumi did not want to continue to dwell on this issue.
It is always better to take the initiative to take responsibility than to argue with each other.
Li Xianshu raised her hand and said, "Mr. Fujino, this incident has indeed affected the image of the empire."
"Does the Special High Police have any countermeasures? After all, there are so many casualties. This is the first time such a serious conflict has occurred since the Empire entered Shanghai."
Fujino Hirofumi bowed to Li Xianshu and said, "I have ordered Koizumi from the Information Investigation Department to find the whereabouts of this Military Control Unit."
"These people blew up supplies and exchanged gunfire with the Special High Police's operations team on the street."
"With such a high profile, they won't just stop. I think if we make good arrangements, we still have a chance to arrest these people."
As soon as Fujino Hirofumi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Hisao Matsushima hurried in with a newspaper...
"Madam, something big has happened. Several media outlets in Shanghai, including the Xinshenbao and Workers' Daily, have received top-secret documents at the same time."
"Someone published the Imperial Navy's combat missions in the Pacific Ocean in the newspaper."
"The US Embassy has called us more than a dozen times and needs us to give a reasonable explanation..."
