Chapter 457 The Commander Invites
Shanghai, various offices, and Canhe Pavilion.
Hu Yunqing, wearing a neat suit, slowly walked into this old-fashioned Cantonese restaurant located in the International Settlement.
Cantonese cuisine still has a large market in Shanghai. After all, southern cuisine tends to be light.
Moreover, there are many people who come from Guangzhou to make a living in Shanghai, and the local food is not as delicious as the food from their hometown.
There was a small private room on the top floor, where a pretty woman was sitting. After Hu Yunqing entered the room, he greeted Tang Xin who had been waiting inside for a long time.
Tang Xin stood up and said, "Team Leader, the Haidongqing lurking plan has failed."
"The other party seemed very alert and would not easily trust a stranger."
Hu Yunqing sighed slightly and said, "This is normal. These traitors are extremely afraid of death."
"Hai Dongqing's cultivation is so high. If we don't confirm his identity, we will definitely not be able to gain his trust easily."
"For a Kung Fu master, it's a double-edged sword. If used well, it can protect you."
"If he wants to harm me, I won't be able to escape."
Tang Xin frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I think we shouldn't spend time on this person."
"We valued him before because he was located on the transportation line and we could get some information about supplies from him."
"But he is no longer in that position, and he is not as evil as other traitors."
"He has a good reputation in Shanghai. It is said that he used coercive means to keep commodity prices at a certain level before the New Year, so that the people of Shanghai could have a good New Year."
"It seems a bit of a waste of talent to have Hai Dongqing keep an eye on him,"
Hu Yunqing shook his head and said, "Comrade Qilin, don't judge things by appearances. The organization has its own considerations."
"Chen Yang's background is not as simple as he appears now."
"We also want to find out why the Japanese value him so much that they are willing to let him manage the transportation network. What secrets are there?"
Tang Xin was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Perhaps, I can contact Chen Yang on behalf of Hai Dongqing."
"No, absolutely not." Hu Yunqing said seriously: "Let's not talk about whether you and Chen Yang can get along."
"The organization will not allow a woman to use herself to contact a man,"
"This goes against Mr. Xiangyu's original intention in establishing the intelligence agency."
"We are not those unscrupulous spies. What we have to do is to do the right thing under the right circumstances."
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore. I'll talk to the organization and see if there are any other options."
Shanghai Stock Exchange, City Hall.
Chen Yang sipped his coffee, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.
After dealing with Ma San, he did not relax, but instead thought about the purpose of the Red Party ace who used the alias Wang Jiu to approach him.
Unlike other traitors, Chen Yang was in charge of transportation and generally had few conflicts with local people.
Moreover, most of the people he came into contact with were from the logistics departments of the army, and they also cooperated with the Red Party.
It was Chen Yang who helped them exchange the 5,000 tons of tungsten ore for arms.
It can be said that so far, the cooperation has been very pleasant.
Given the relationship between Hu Yunqing and Bai Ge, Chen Yang felt that he should know how powerful he is.
Even though he nominally served as No. 76's superior, in reality, he did not have much to do with anything.
Unless his superiors gave him a task, he would not go to No. 76.
From this point of view, their purpose in sending Wang Jiu to approach me is not necessarily to take my life.
That means he has other intentions.
The most likely possibility is the batch of national treasures transported from the north by the Manchurian Railway.
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling," the sudden sound of the phone on the table startled Chen Yang.
As a financial consultant, he really doesn't have much to do on weekdays. The Shanghai Stock Exchange is backed by Mayor Chen, so he just helps collect some data.
So, I haven't heard the phone ring for several days here.
"Hello, this is the Advisory Office of the Finance and Economics Department. Who are you looking for?" Before Chen Yang could make any move, Secretary Zhou had already answered the phone skillfully.
"The Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters? Staff Officer Abe Mitsuhiro?"
"You're looking for Consultant Chen. OK, I'll pass it in right away."
Secretary Xiao Zhou stood up and walked to the door, pointing at the phone in front of Chen Yang. Chen Yang nodded slightly and answered the phone.
Abe Mitsuhiro's voice came from the other side.
"Advisor Chen, do you have time? Commander Xiwei wants you to come to the headquarters."
"I want to discuss something with you."
Chen Yang was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
As soon as Chen Yang's car arrived at the door, Chen Yang saw Abe Mitsuhiro waiting in front of the headquarters gate.
Along the way, Chen Yang also thought about the purpose of Commander Xiwei calling him here.
It should be about purchasing the submarine design drawings, but it seems too hasty.
It has only been a few days since Li Xianshu gave him this task, so how could he get a reply so quickly?
The car stopped in front of the headquarters. Cars from the city hall were not allowed to enter the expeditionary force headquarters, not even Chen Yang.
Helplessly, Chen Yang could only get out of the car and follow Abe Mitsuhiro slowly inside.
Actually, this was his first time here, and many armed guards along the way looked a little surprised to see him.
After all, the person next to him is a staff officer of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters. For a staff officer to behave so politely, this identity must be somewhat special.
Not far from the main entrance, Chen Yang saw a large building with quite a few people coming in and out.
The sign hanging at the door caught Chen Yang's attention.
"Navy and dogs are not allowed."
This...is too blatant.
Even though we knew that the two armies disagreed, it was rare that they could not come together like this.
So it's really a miracle that my Tsukiya Tsukisa can get the two gangs to drink together without fighting.
Abe Mitsuhiro looked at Chen Yang's expression and shrugged, "Mr. Chen, don't get me wrong, we weren't the first to put up this sign."
"If you are lucky enough to enter the Marine Corps Command in Red Deer someday, you will see the same sign."
"But it's written that the army and dogs are not allowed to enter."
hehe...
This is really speechless, and Chen Yang could only smile helplessly.
"Let's go, the commander is waiting for you in the office." Abe Mitsuhiro obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue.
After all, the discord between the navy and the army within the empire has been going on for a long time.
However, as a staff officer of the headquarters, Abe Mitsuhiro still felt a little embarrassed in front of an outsider.
Going forward along the road, the two soon arrived at Commander Nishio's office.
Knock, knock, knock. Mitsuhiro Abe knocked on the door gently, and the voice of Commander Nishio came from inside.
"Come in."
