Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 752: Summoned alone

Dongye Daimu saw the change in Chen Yang's expression, and stepped forward cautiously and said: "Minister, Commander Tada may have gone too far, but we can't keep blocking his supplies."

"I heard from Seto-kun who just came back from the mainland that Commander Tada is also on the list of people who will be promoted to generals in the mainland this time."

"You have offended him severely. Isn't it necessary for us to do that?"

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "I know these things better than you."

"Hitsuno-kun, let me remind you that you'd better not ask about what's happening in your hometown."

"You thought Commander Tada's promotion was a good thing, huh, that's the end of him."

"He made a mess of North China. We couldn't even deal with the Red Party, and we lost so much supplies."

"His cage policy wasted so much material. In the end, it didn't even last three months. Most of it was destroyed by the Red Party."

"Moreover, his previous actions themselves made many people dissatisfied. First, he questioned the work of Commander Ishihara, and then he complained to Commander Sakagami that he could not carry out the anti-counterrevolutionary and anti-village tasks according to the expected plan."

"He has, in four words, too many enemies."

"No one likes such a stubborn ass who doesn't care about anyone."

"This is a promotion in name only, but a demotion in reality. If I'm not mistaken, after Commander Tada is promoted to the rank of general, he will soon be transferred back to the mainland to join the reserve and serve as a senior counselor of the mainland operations staff."

"In short, this is a person who is about to be excluded from the center of power. What's the point of you trying to please him?"

"Higashino-kun, you don't even understand transportation, and you want to get involved in politics."

"You should discuss these matters with your uncle more often. He is much smarter than you."

"Ah?" Higashino Oki was a little embarrassed when he heard that. "What about the supplies?"

Chen Yang took the material demand list from Dongye Damu, looked it up and down, picked up a pen and changed a few numbers on it, and said, "Let the logistics department prepare these first and send them over."

"As for the rest, please wait. The order we have received now is to provide sufficient supplies to the 34th Division, the 33rd Division and Major General Takada's 20th Mixed Brigade in Nanchang."

"Besides, doesn't Commander Tada claim to be a famous general? He needs so many supplies to fight a few Reds."

"The empire's greatest enemy is still the main force of Yamashiro. Lieutenant General Saho and Lieutenant General Nagao are facing the real main force."

Dongye Damu took the report signed by Chen Yang with both hands and bowed, saying, "I understand. I will arrange it right away."

As soon as Dongye Daimu left, He Yuehua ran in in a panic.

"Minister, the Navy Department has just notified you that you are required to attend the joint navy and army meeting tomorrow."

"A military guidance group has arrived from the mainland..."

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't the guidance group go to the Wuhan front to guide the battle? Why did they suddenly go back?"

He Yuehua shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. The person who came just now was sent by Colonel Okita to convey the message."

"You must attend the meeting tomorrow. After the meeting, Lord Dajiao will summon you alone."

"Single summons?" Chen Yang was shocked.

He Yuehua nodded and said, "You heard it right. It was Lord Dajiao who summoned him alone. Moreover, before he left, he specifically told you to bring the oil procurement plan over for Lord Dajiao to review."

Chen Yang's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can go out first."

He Yuehua glanced at Chen Yang, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and tactfully closed the office door.

Chen Yang sat on the chair in the office, looking a little annoyed.

This military guidance group was organized by the Mainland General Staff Headquarters after the Japanese New Year.

Their purpose of coming to China is to guide China's war.

The leader is a high-ranking official among high-ranking officials, a navy admiral, a senior minister in the imperial court, Osumi Motoo.

The first stop of this military guidance group was the Wuhan front line. A few days ago, it seemed to have gone to Nanjing and held several meetings with the new Nanjing government.

According to the itinerary, their next destination should have been Guangzhou for inspection, but why did they suddenly change direction and come to Shanghai?

Thinking of the fact that Okita Keiji had specially sent someone to pass on the message, Chen Yang thought to himself, "Could it be that Da Jiao suddenly came to Shanghai because of the oil purchase in my hands?"

Oil is the navy's lifeline, and the main purpose of the Japanese Navy's advance into Southeast Asia was to plunder oil, rubber and other resources.

The fact that a naval admiral could suddenly change his itinerary shows that the navy's demand for oil has reached a critical period, otherwise an official of this level would not have been alarmed enough to personally inquire about it.

However, Chen Yang has not yet made a final decision on the final purchase plan for oil.

He has told Bernard of the German trading company about his needs and asked him to communicate with Feldman, but there has been no response yet.

Then he met Sir Carl from the British Embassy.

I hope to be able to contact a company that can sell oil through him.

For example, Royal Dutch Shell, or some other company. Even worse, at least they could contact the head of the British embassy in Myanmar and ship more oil from Myanmar.

As for buying from the Americans, Chen Yang felt that if Japan opened fire on the Philippines, the oil business might not be stable.

The final choice is the Soviet Union.

Of course, he had asked Matsumoto Shingo, the temporary head of the Black Dragon Society's Asian Business Department, who was far away in Fengtian City, to contact the Soviet contact.

However, the Soviets' attitude towards the Japanese has always been, well, it should be said to be contemptuous.

There has been no response to the invitation I sent out so far, and I don’t think there will be any response for a while.

Of course, according to Chen Yang's analysis, this situation will not last too long. If the Barbarossa plan is followed, Germany will attack the Soviet Union starting in June.

I believe the other party really needs the penicillin in my hand...

By then, there would be no need for me to show up myself, as I'm afraid those Soviet agents hiding in Shanghai would come to buy large quantities of medicines.

However, it would take at least several months before the Soviets agreed.

Chen Yang can wait, but the Japanese navy who are clamoring to occupy the Pacific and destroy the US Combined Fleet on their own soil cannot.

After the Imperial Conference approved the navy's combat plan, everyone was working hard to achieve results as quickly as possible and get rid of the Army Department's control over their oil.

As long as the navy has enough oil, it still depends on the army's opinion...

Just as he was worrying about what to say tomorrow, there was a knock on the door. Qingqi Qingyin pushed open the door of the office and said, "Mr. Chen, you look a little upset?"
