Chapter 764: The consequences, weigh them yourself
"Minister Chen, you should also be aware that supplies in Jinling are also in short supply right now."
"When the dispatched army encounters a problem, they have to ask Jinling to transfer supplies, but Jinling doesn't have that much supplies to transfer."
Mayor Zhou's words sounded very reasonable, but Chen Yang was not so easily fooled.
"Mayor Zhou, I am in charge of transportation. This is an order from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. If you don't sign it, you have to write me a note."
"So I can go back and report."
Mayor Zhou's eyes suddenly opened, and he glared at Chen Yang and said, "Minister Chen, are you planning to use the Japanese's name to pressure me?"
Chen Yang's face was as calm as before. He looked at the angry Mayor Zhou and said lightly: "Mayor Zhou, if you don't sign this, I will wait here forever."
Mayor Zhou sneered, "Minister Chen now doesn't even take me, his superior, seriously?"
"What are you talking about, Mayor Zhou?" Chen Yang said calmly, "We are colleagues, I have never thought of it that way."
"Mayor Zhou, you know that I have been working outside since I was a child. People like us value our reputation."
"Face is given by others, but you lose face by yourself."
"Of course, I will give you face. After all, you are my superior. Whether I can have a smooth journey and a safe journey depends on your care."
"How could I joke about my own future?"
Mayor Zhou's expression eased slightly, but he still said in a gloomy tone: "Minister Chen is too modest. Everyone knows that your position in the eyes of the Japanese is much more important than mine."
Chen Yang didn't respond, but just handed over the list and pen in his hand.
Mayor Zhou frowned for a while, but still took the list and pen and signed his name reluctantly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mayor Zhou. I will go back and make the arrangements first." Chen Yang took the document and pen and said politely.
Mayor Zhou seemed to have no interest and was too lazy to even speak.
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door. Then the door opened and Chen Gongshu, captain of the No. 76 Training Brigade, appeared at the door of the ward with a group of agents.
"Minister Chen, you are here too." Chen Gongshu saluted Chen Yang respectfully, and then said to Mayor Zhou who was lying on the hospital bed: "Hello, Mayor Zhou. I am Chen Gongshu. Under the order of Director Ding, I am leading the 12 members of the third team of the action team to protect the mayor's safety."
Mayor Zhou's expression changed slightly. He sat up and looked at Chen Yang and said, "Minister Chen is really kind. He even knew to send someone to protect us."
"But I don't need it. The Special Higher Police have already sent someone over."
Without waiting for Chen Yang to speak, Chen Gongshu said quickly: "Mayor Zhou, Director Ding received a telegram from the Minister of the Interior in Jinling."
"Sir is very concerned about your safety. No. 76 is already searching closely for the assassin who attacked you."
"We will always protect your safety until the assassin is caught."
Mayor Zhou glanced at Chen Gongshu and sneered at Chen Yang standing beside him: "I'm afraid the protection is fake, but the surveillance is real."
"Minister Chen, if you have any other tricks, feel free to use them."
Chen Yang frowned and said, "Mayor Zhou, I don't have such a big malice towards you."
"Besides, protecting your safety is what No. 76 should do."
Mayor Zhou snorted coldly: "Do as you please, I need to rest now."
After saying that, he lay down on the bed and ignored the two of them.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
After Ding Cun and Li Qun received Chen Yang’s call, they quickly came to the office of the Joint Transport Department.
Chen Yang looked at the two people in front of him and said calmly: "Director Ding, Director Li, why didn't anyone report to me about sending people to protect Mayor Zhou?"
"I seem to remember that I did not give such an order."
"What? Now No. 76 doesn't even need to say hello to me when doing anything?"
Ding Cun and Li Qun were shocked. They looked at each other and Ding Cun said with a smile, "Minister, please don't get angry yet."
"The mission of protecting Mayor Zhou's safety was personally handled by Jinling."
"Minister, No. 76 has always been loyal to you, but you are the deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee, and the position of director is still held concurrently by you, sir."
"He wants to issue a mission to No. 76, and we can't refuse."
Chen Yang really couldn't refute this reason.
After all, what Ding Cun said was indeed true, and there was a nominal director of the Special Affairs Committee above him.
Chen Yang sighed and said, "What about Chen Gongshu? All the members of Unit 76 are dead, so we need a training captain to lead the team to carry out the mission?"
Li Qun said quickly: "Minister, No. 76 has received a mission from the Special High Section to assist Lieutenant Colonel Koizumi in tracking down the two boxes of top-secret documents sent to Shanghai by the Seventh War Zone."
"Almost all those who can move their hands have been sent out by us."
"Director Ding received a telegram from Jinling at the last minute, and had no choice but to ask Captain Chen if he was willing to help take over the task of protecting Mayor Zhou."
"After all, Captain Chen's abilities extend beyond just training agents."
Chen Yang frowned and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha. Fujino is really amazing. He asked the Special High Section to keep an eye on me, and then sent all the people from Unit 76 out to help the Special High Section with their work."
"In the end, even the captain of the training brigade had to be responsible for carrying out the mission."
"Director Ding, Director Li, from now on, No. 76 should be renamed Fujino. Just call it Fujino Agency. If you have any problems, ask Fujino to help you solve them. Don't come to me."
Ding Cun and Li Qun's faces turned pale and red. After a while, Ding Cun asked cautiously, "Minister, do you mean we should ignore him?"
Chen Yang squinted at Ding Cun and said, "Aren't you happy with what you did?"
Li Qun smiled awkwardly and said, "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding. I will write a report when I get back. No. 76 is short of manpower. Please ask Mr. Fujino to make your own arrangements."
"Yes, yes..." Dingcun agreed again and again: "Director Li is right. No. 76 has so many things to do, how can we have time to help the Special High Section."
Chen Yang's expression eased slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Number 76 doesn't need to care about the Special High Section's affairs."
"What you need to do now is to ensure Mayor Zhou's safety first and find the two assassins who tried to kill him."
"Mayor Zhou won't feel at ease until those two people are found."
"Minister, should Captain Chen withdraw?"
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being. Let him protect Mayor Zhou in the hospital first. I believe this job should be a piece of cake for Captain Chen."
After the words fell, Chen Yang looked at Ding Cun and Li Qun and said, "Let me remind you two, this is the first time. If you dare to bypass me and carry out the mission privately next time, you will have to consider the consequences yourself..."
Really, Kawen, it's so painful..
