Chapter 722 What’s the fuss about?
Four thousand barrels of crude oil.
After seeing Tang Xin off, Chen Yang silently calculated how much profit these crude oils could bring.
This crude oil arrived just in time.
The situation in Myanmar is tense now, and the two oil fields in Chen Yang's hands produce less than 10,000 barrels of crude oil per month.
The Navy Department was completely controlled by the Army Department, which held the crude oil but was unwilling to share it.
This also led to the fleet stationed in the mainland to make careful calculations every day, hoping to achieve greater results with limited resources.
If Tang Xin's intelligence is correct and the navy does not give up its plan to attack Myanmar, its future target will definitely be the Philippines.
Now more than half of the gold in the Philippines has not been shipped out, and I don’t know whether it will be sold in the hands of the people in the Navy later.
Chen Yang hummed a little tune, opened the invitation and took another look at it.
Tang Xin still opened a business, but most of the things he sold were cigarettes, canned food, gauze and other supplies.
There is not much overlap with the things sold at Xiaotongqiao. If there is any competition, it is that there is some overlap with the shops that the Mantetsu Railway is about to open.
But then again, doing business with the Red Party is pretty good, except for the fact that they act righteously from time to time.
The quality of the ore they provided was also good, and the Germans were also very satisfied with the ore they had previously given to them.
Although I haven't seen any samples of the goods this time, but judging by their work style, the quality shouldn't be too bad.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
The phone rang, Chen Yang picked up the phone, and Li Xianshu's voice came from the other end.
"Come to the consulate." He didn't say much and his tone was not very good.
Chen Yang hung up the phone, glanced at He Yuehua who was busy outside, and told her to arrange a car to go to the consulate.
Consulate, third floor.
"Chen Yang, are you blocking the supplies of the North China Front Army again?" Li Xianshu's tone sounded helpless.
Chen Yang looked confused.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? The supplies of the North China Front Army are not handled by us, why would I block it?"
Li Xianshu sighed and said, "You know what you have done."
"Commander Tada borrowed 30,000 troops from the First Army of Commander Shinozuka Yoshio in Shanxi, and another 50,000 troops from the Mongolian Garrison Army of Okabe Naosaburo, bringing together a total of 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Red Party troops in North China."
"But now, their supplies have not been replenished yet."
Chen Yang cried out in injustice: "Aunt, you are wronging me."
"The supplies that Commander Tada borrowed from the soldiers do not fall under the category of replenishment for the North China Front Army."
"According to the rules and regulations, we only provide him with supplies for 30,000 people. If there is any additional demand, I can only send it after approval from my superiors."
"It's impossible for him to just say 100,000 and it's 100,000."
"I didn't open the logistics department, so how could I have such great power?"
"Besides, the supply of the North China Front Army still needs the signature of Commander Ishihara. If he has any questions, he can just go to Commander Ishihara for coordination. How can he find my transportation department?"
Li Xianshu was speechless.
If Commander Tada had the ability to obtain supplies from Ishihara, the situation in North China would not have been like this.
There are hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops stationed in the north, but they don't show up even when the situation is so chaotic. They even ask Tada to transfer troops from Shanxi. They are just trying to make fun of him.
It can be said that after this battle, no matter how Tada fights, he will eventually have to be transferred back to his homeland.
"Nonsense." Li Xianshu rubbed his brow and said, "Chen Yang, you can't do whatever you want now."
"As the war progressed, supplies began to run out in North China, and now the complaint letters have been delivered to General Nishio."
"They believe that the war is going badly and that your transport department needs to bear a great deal of responsibility."
Wow, this guy is really stubborn. He has never seen that in the forest of Taihang Mountain, besides apples, there are also 75MM mountain cannons.
If you really piss me off, I'll even grow a 105mm howitzer for him.
"Aunt, you can't blame me for this," Chen Yang said helplessly, "There is a process for approval. How can I transport it if they don't approve it?"
Li Xianshu frowned, but before she could say anything, her secretary Matsushima Hisao suddenly knocked on the door.
"Madam, we have received the latest intelligence from North China."
Li Xianshu took the information, looked at it for a few seconds, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
Chen Yang always felt something was a little strange when he saw this expression. It was an expression that made him want to laugh but couldn't...
"Aunt, what happened?"
Li Xianshu handed the information to Chen Yang and said, "Look for yourself."
Chen Yang took the information and immediately showed the same expression as Li Xianshu.
"November 12th urgent telegram: Recently learned that Yan's troops in western Shanxi suddenly launched an offensive against the Red Party's Anti-Japanese Death Squadron,"
"At the same time, the 39th Army of Shi Yousan and the th Army of Zhu Huaibing of the National Government cooperated with the Japanese and puppet troops and also launched an attack on the Red Party headquarters in the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi."
"The Red Party is currently retreating westwards. Casualties are unknown. Ishida Eiji, North China Information Department."
Damn, why is it that Shancheng is helping the Japanese to fight the Red Party out of nowhere?
It's outrageous. It's outrageous to open the door. It's outrageous to the extreme...
Li Xianshu smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that the turning point would appear in the National Government Army."
"Originally, we were restricted in many areas during the attack by the Shota, but now it seems that the empire is indeed flourishing."
Chen Yang agreed with a smile and said, "It should be said that Commander Tada is lucky. After the Red Party was disturbed by the mountain city, Commander Tada will be under much less pressure."
"That being said, you can't be careless about the supply of materials in the future." Li Xianshu said softly: "If you have any grudges, you can put them aside for later. You are the head of the joint transportation department, and transporting materials is your job."
"North China has finally seen a turnaround. You must cooperate with Commander Tada to seize the opportunity and eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in North China."
Chen Yang frowned slightly and said, "But it's difficult for me to handle the allocation of materials without normal procedures and processes."
"Aunt, if it were before, I could allocate the supplies first and then issue the ticket, but now the Supervisory Group is still in Shanghai."
"If they use this as an excuse, then I would have died unjustly."
"You clearly have good intentions to improve efficiency for the empire, but in the end, you are being accused of smuggling."
Li Xianshu frowned, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
Li Xianshu was naturally very clear about the purpose of the inspection team's visit to China, and she also thought that Chen Yang's consideration was necessary.
There are some things you want to do well, but they are neither legal nor legal.
After a while, Li Xianshu said in a deep voice: "How about this, I will coordinate the material flow with Commander Xiwei so that you won't have to do it in a difficult way."
"That's fine, I can get it done as long as I have a note." Chen Yang stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Li Xianshu raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing."
