Chapter 445: What is Mantetsu?
Shanghai, Zhabei District, Jinjiafang, Manchurian Railway Affairs Investigation Bureau.
The full name of the South Manchuria Railway Company is the South Manchuria Railway Company.
To put it bluntly, this company is a Japanese state-owned enterprise.
In addition to railway transportation, it also involves many aspects such as politics, economy, military, and intelligence.
The previous president of the South Manchuria Railway is the current Foreign Minister, Yosuke Matsuoka.
He was a person who paid great attention to railway transportation. It can be said that he knew better than any other Japanese what an efficient railway represented.
Otherwise, he would not have put forward the theory of "Manchuria and Mongolia Lifeline".
On the top floor of the Investigation Bureau, Yoshiko Kawashima was wearing a black suit, dressed like a man, with her neat short hair smeared with a thin layer of hair wax and combed back neatly.
Her facial features are just ordinary, and Hong Kong film and television dramas use the image of Fang Gu to interpret her legend, which is indeed a bit of a compliment to her.
However, although he doesn't look that good, he has been in a high position for a long time, so his every move naturally carries a hint of the arrogance of a superior.
It was dark clouds outside. Yoshiko Kawashima sat behind her desk, looking at the sky through the window, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
With a bang, at this moment, the office door was suddenly kicked open.
That’s right, someone kicked open the door of the Intelligence Director’s Office of the Manchurian Railway Affairs Investigation Bureau.
A woman in a colonel's uniform appeared at the door with a gloomy face.
Female colonel? There were only a handful of female colonels in the entire imperial army.
Yoshiko Kawashima knew a person, Colonel Mie Yasuda, who was the head of the mustard gas bacteria research laboratory of the Kwantung Army's Water Supply Department.
She is a direct descendant of the Yasuda family, one of the four major chaebols in Japan, and a student of bacteriology professor Kojiro Koyama.
The so-called four major Japanese zaibatsu are Mitsubishi Group, Sumitomo Group, Yasuda family and the Mitsui zaibatsu, the biggest backer of the South Mantetsu.
But in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, when she saw a female colonel, a name immediately came to Kawashima Yoshiko's mind: Fujiwara Shizuka.
"Are you Chief Fujiwara of the Special High Section?" Although Yoshiko Kawashima didn't know why Fujiwara Shizuka suddenly broke into the Intelligence Department of the Manchurian Railway Affairs Investigation Bureau.
But she could vaguely feel the other person's anger.
"Ms. Kawashima, you are very brave!" Fujiwara Shizuka slowly took off the white gloves in her hands and threw them casually in front of Yoshiko Kawashima's desk.
"Section Chief Fujiwara, I don't understand what you mean?" Yoshiko Kawashima felt something was wrong.
Fujiwara Shizuka sneered, "Ms. Kawashima, do you think the Special High Section is just there to do nothing? When did a few more northerners appear in Shanghai? How could the Special High Section not find out?"
"I'm here to give face to President Omura. After all, when I was in the Kwantung Army Information Department, President Omura and I had some friendship."
"However, I advise you not to be shameless."
"I asked you where Ma San is?"
Yoshiko Kawashima's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that Shizuka Fujiwara came here just for Chen Yang.
Well, I didn’t hear any connection between Chen Yang and this Fujiwara Shizuka in the information provided before.
What important information did these idiots miss?
"Section Chief Fujiwara, is there any misunderstanding between us?"
"Ma San is the special agent we hired. Did he offend you in some way?"
Fujiwara Shizuka looked at Kawashima Yoshiko and sneered, "It seems that Miss Kawashima is not going to tell the truth."
"I originally thought that for President Omura's sake, we could avoid such a stalemate."
"But you don't seem to want to solve it properly."
"Then there's no way……"
"You guys are not doing decent things, so I will help you to be decent."
Clap, Clap! Shizuka Fujiwara clapped her hands lightly, and then a group of Special High Section agents rushed into the office in an instant.
The leader was none other than the captain of the first team of the action team, Tsuyoshi Nagakone, and the captain of the third team, Keigo Sakamoto.
Fujiwara Shizuka said calmly: "You guys destroy this place for me, and take everyone back to the Special High Police for interrogation."
"Hi..."
"Stop it," Kawashima Yoshiko's face suddenly changed, and she said in a hurry, "Section Chief Fujiwara, this is the Manchurian Railway Affairs Investigation Bureau. Are you planning to declare war on the Manchurian Railway by doing this?"
"I believe General Dobiyuan will never agree with your approach."
"You want to use the fat general to pressure me?" Fujiwara Shizuka sneered, "I'm afraid you don't even know who you've offended?"
"Mantie, huh, what a thing..."
"Is Omura out of his mind? If the Manchurian Railway's transportation lines in the mainland were not supported by our Black Dragon Society, he would have stepped down long ago."
"What? Is he preparing to break up with the Black Dragon Society now?"
"Also, I have already informed General Doiyuan about this matter today. If you don't believe me, you can ask General Doiyuan for confirmation now."
"What are you waiting for? If I still see this place intact in ten minutes, all of you jump off the fourth floor."
"Wait a minute," Kawashima Yoshiko could no longer sit still, and quickly stood up and said, "Section Chief Fujiwara, please calm down."
"I have something to show you. Please let these people go out first."
Fujiwara Shizuka was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at Kawashima Yoshiko for a moment, and finally raised her hand, signaling Nagakino Riki to take his men out first.
Yoshiko Kawashima hesitated for a long time, but still took out a key from her body, then pressed a switch, and a mechanism sound was heard at the back of the office.
A mural of a snowy Mount Fuji on the wall slowly rose up, revealing an 80-centimeter-high safe behind it.
Yoshiko Kawashima walked forward, opened the safe, took out a telegram, handed it to Shizuka Fujiwara and said, "Section Chief Fujiwara, this is a telegram from the Minister of War."
"We are carrying out a special mission. The Emperor Xuantong of Manchukuo wants to present a batch of Chinese national treasures to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor."
"This action is related to the harmony between Manchuria and Japan, and also to the stability of the Manchurian Railway in the north."
"There can be no room for error."
Fujiwara Shizuka was stunned and asked: "What does this have to do with Chen Yang?"
Kawashima Yoshiko smiled bitterly and said, "If Minister Yoshikawa cannot fulfill the ultimatum issued by the Expeditionary Force Command, all southern lines will be restored to operation before the end of the month."
"Then his position will be vacant. The transportation line is very important. We are doing this just to let Director Chen rest for a while."
"At least until these treasures leave Shanghai, he can't..."
"Baga, are you afraid of what Chen Yang will think when he sees these national treasures?" Fujiwara Shizuka waved her hand to interrupt Kawashima Yoshiko's words.
In their eyes, Chen Yang is not a national hero, but he is a real businessman.
He won't take action for national justice, but he will definitely take risks for money.
If this batch of priceless national treasures passed through his hands, who knows whether he would tamper with them.
Before Fujiwara Shizuka had time to say anything after reading the information, a noisy sound was heard outside.
With a "bang," the door of the Intelligence Department was kicked open again.
Damn, it’s never going to end…
