Chapter 684 Isn't this a mess?
Chapter 684 Isn't this a mess?
Judging from the time, this mysterious leader should appear.
Chen Yang nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, let the car in."
The man saluted and quickly ran out of Warehouse No. 4.
In less than five minutes, a cluster of yellow lights came on, and a black sedan with the Marine Command logo slowly stopped at the door of the warehouse.
After the driver parked the car, he got out immediately and opened the rear door.
Two figures got out of the car one after another. Both of them were naval officers, one was a major general and the other was a colonel.
But strangely, the major general's expression towards the colonel was extremely respectful.
You should be familiar with this Major General Chen Yang, as he is Major General Kenichi Hiromoto of the Navy Logistics Department.
The other young man was estimated to be about thirty-four or thirty-five years old. He was not tall, but he had an indescribable noble air.
With a slight movement of his mind, Chen Yang instantly saw the information of this mysterious leader.
Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito.
The third son of Empress Meisada and the younger brother of the current Emperor Showa.
For a moment, a smug smile appeared on Chen Yang's lips. His guess was right.
The head of an inspection team followed the team to China and was able to do so quietly without the team members noticing his presence.
On a naval ship, naturally only naval officers can do this.
Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito attended the Japanese Navy preparatory course since he was a child and entered the Navy undergraduate course in 1921.
In 1924, he graduated from the Etajima Naval Academy, joined the Imperial Navy, and became a second lieutenant.
After two years of military service, he was promoted to captain and was recommended by the Corps to enter the Naval Artillery Academy.
After graduating in 1932, he served as squadron leader of the cruiser Kaohsiung and the battleship Fuso.
Only because of his outstanding performance was he recommended to study at the Naval University again.
In 1937, he graduated from the Naval University and was promoted to major, and then joined the General Staff Headquarters...
If a naval colonel appears on a naval ship, generally no one will pay attention to him unless he is too high-profile.
Moreover, only his identity and resume qualify him to serve as the head of the supervisory group.
Even if the inspection team's investigation touches upon the interests of high-level officials, he is qualified to step in and suppress it.
Of course, if the inspection team handles the case successfully, then his resume will be further enhanced.
In either case, His Royal Highness will have sufficient merit for this trip.
After Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito got out of the car, he walked directly to the middle of the warehouse.
He glanced at both parties and said calmly, "How did it become like this?"
Yamamoto Masahei bowed and said, "Your Highness, we have evidence that the Joint Transport Department uses the railway for smuggling."
"It's just that Minister Chen doesn't seem to be willing to cooperate with our work."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, how can you speak nonsense in front of His Highness?"
"Our joint transportation department has always worked diligently and made great contributions to the Empire's conquest of China."
"Your words have completely wiped out all the hard work and achievements we have made over the years."
"Besides, if you have evidence, you should show it to us."
Upon hearing this, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito looked at Yamamoto Masahira and said, "Minister Chen's words make sense, Mr. Yamamoto. What evidence do you have? You can show it to us now."
"With me and Major General Guangben as witnesses, Minister Chen will not do anything out of line."
Yamamoto Masahei hesitated for a moment, then took out from his pocket the payment voucher, material details, and the approval slip for picking up the goods from the Guangzhou Material Distribution Center on the 11th of this month.
"I have sent someone to check. The goods have been loaded onto the train and will leave at eleven o'clock."
“These are the evidence of their smuggling.”
After reviewing them one by one, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito looked at Chen Yang and said slowly, "Minister Chen, do you have any explanation?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "I have something here too, Your Highness may want to take a look first."
"Bring it up."
At a command, a group of Japanese soldiers from the back of the warehouse pushed a group of people in.
This group of people were the members of the Black Dragon Society who had gone to the station to check on the cargo being loaded.
"Your Highness, these people are probably not members of your Supervisory Group. They are holding the documents of the Supervisory Group and have entered the station dispatch center without permission, intending to commit a crime."
"I was caught by a patrolling soldier..."
Yamamoto Masahei's face changed slightly, and he said gloomily: "Minister Chen, although these people are not members of the Supervisory Group, they are also helping the Supervisory Group to complete its mission."
"I gave them the documents. I am the inspector of the Supervisory Corps and have the right to recruit some non-staff personnel."
"Oh, so they are really part of the Supervisory Group." Chen Yang suddenly realized, "I was overthinking it."
"Let them go."
Yamamoto Masahei said coldly: "Minister Chen, don't try to delay time. The evidence is already conclusive. You are smuggling materials."
Chen Yang looked at Nishida Tomohisa and the others calmly, and said with a smile: "Since you are also part of the inspection team, then please tell me where those materials came from."
Swish, swish, swish, everyone's eyes were on Tomohisa Nishida/
Nishida Tomohisa felt a little bitter in his mouth, but after a while he said, "On those materials, the name of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce is written on them."
"What?" Yamamoto Masahei's face froze and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
It was clearly an investigation into the smuggling of the Joint Transport Department, but how did it end up targeting the Osaka Chamber of Commerce?
"Don't be impatient," Chen Yang said in a gentle voice, "I have something else I want Your Highness to hear."
Zizizi, there was a burst of electric sound coming from the warehouse speaker, and then a voice was rang out.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything."
"None of this was my idea. It was Yamamoto Masahei who came to me and said he wanted to give me some benefits."
"He asked me to pretend to be a buyer and buy supplies on the black market, and then have Minister Chen transport them to Guangzhou, where we would hand over the goods."
"After this is done, I can get half of the supplies, and the rest will be sold to Zhang Fakui's troops in the Fourth War Zone."
"Stop fighting, everything I said is true."
The sound from the radio echoed in every corner of the warehouse.
After the voice fell, Chen Yang walked up to Yamamoto Masahira with a smile: "Now I can understand why Mr. Yamamoto has these strange evidences in his hands."
"So you have this kind of deal with the Nationalist army, helping them collect supplies in Shanghai?"
"Can I assume that you are colluding with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce to smuggle supplies to the Nationalist army? Not only that, you are also trying to turn the tables and frame our joint transportation department for smuggling supplies?"
"Mr. Yamamoto, shouldn't you explain to His Highness at this time?"
Chapter 3 completed, please give me some gifts...
