Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Deadly Letter
"Song Jun, my secretary and I have something to discuss, please be with us!"
Although he was nervous in his heart, he didn't show the slightest expression on his face under the mountain, and apologized to Song Geting very politely, so he pulled Xiao Iso's Yowei to a no-man's corner, and after confirming that there was no one around, he asked anxiously: "What about the letter?"
"Here!" said Yoo Koiso, who hurriedly took out the letter from his pocket.
Yamashita Hayashi Saburo, who received the letter, opened the letter and asked, "Do you see who put it?"
Yoo Koiso shook his head: "By the time I found out, the person was gone." ”
Lin Saburo didn't speak, but frowned, and spread out the letter in his hand, the content was not much, only two short pages, the whole text was written in Japanese, the handwriting was a little sloppy, but the whole thing was quite eye-catching.
Yamashita Lin Saburo pinched his nose and read it, but when he looked at it, his hand holding the letter began to tremble unconsciously, and his calm eyes revealed a deep shock, and his constantly twitching lips repeated a sentence in disbelief: "This...... This...... How is this possible? How can the highest trade secret of the headquarters be in the hands of the Chinese!"
Yoo Koiso said you ask me, who do I ask?
But he dared to think like this but didn't dare to say so, so he could only frown and ask a nonsense that was not nonsense: "President, what should we do?"
What to do? It would be nice if Yamashita Hayashi Saburo knew.
You must know that once the letter in his hand is made public, what will happen to others Yamashita Lin Saburo doesn't know, but he himself definitely wants to apologize for his crime with death, no way, the content of the letter is really life-threatening.
That's right, it's a life-threatening letter!
In fact, there is nothing unusual in the content, except for a large paragraph of polite language, it is about a ship collision accident that caused a sensation in the world a year ago.
It was a 2,000-ton bulk carrier named the "Nissho Maru," which was departing from Kagoshima in April last year to carry out a shipping mission to Yokohama, when it was suddenly hit by the USS George Washington, a U.S. strategic nuclear submarine that had risen to the ground.
The "George Washington", which had been in trouble afterwards, quickly fled, while the hapless "Hiseki Maru" quickly sank, resulting in the death of two RB crew members.
This incident immediately caused an uproar in the RB country, especially the American submarine name collision but did not rescue, but quickly dived and evacuated, which caused great anger among the RB people, coupled with the various inferiorities of the US military stationed in Japan since the end of World War II, in an instant, the anti-American wave of the RB people reached a high ~~ tide.
However, just as all the RB citizens were turning their anger on the U.S. military, the Kanagawa Shipyard, which was responsible for the construction of the "Hisho Maru", and the Mitsuken Co., Ltd. behind it, secretly rejoiced that the presence of American GIs was not necessarily a bad thing.
That's right, Sanxian Co., Ltd. is really grateful to the American GIs who crashed the ship, and if there is a chance, they will even beat gongs and drums to send a pennant of "a real man who has been behind the pot for ten thousand years".
Because it is precisely because of their existence that the strange thing of the "Sunrise Maru" that sank quickly will go unnoticed.
Yes, the "Hiseki Maru" sank very quickly, and it took only ten minutes from the collision to the final silence, so that the crew of the ship did not have time to send out an emergency distress signal, so they had to take an emergency lifeboat to escape.
Subsequent investigation found that it was the bottom of the port side of the No. 2 generator that was knocked out of a one-meter-long and 15-centimeter-wide opening.
This would have been a fatal wound on a small ship of several hundred tons, but on a medium-sized cargo ship with a full load displacement of 2,350 tons, it would have been a heavy blow at best, far from the level of fatal silence.
Because this kind of ship will be equipped with anti-sinking watertight cabins, once the cabin is flooded, use the watertight cabin to seal and fill the corresponding cabin with water to restore the balance of the hull.
Although the "Sunrise Maru" was just an ordinary civilian ship, far from meeting the anti-sinking standards of military ships, the basic configuration was still there, and the result was so rapid and confused that it sank.
After the incident, the RB government did not conduct a serious investigation into the "Sunsho Maru", which was on the one hand the result of the three prefectures co., ltd. throwing a lot of money, and on the other hand, the RB cabinet wanted to use this time to bargain with the US military stationed in Japan in order to gain greater autonomy.
Coupled with the people's encouragement, the "Sunrise Maru" and the three prefectures behind it were forgotten in a grand manner.
On the one hand, it paid for condolences to the families of the victims, earning enough popularity, and on the other hand, it quietly destroyed the documents related to the quality problems of the "Risheng Maru".
Yes, the "Hiseki Maru" has very serious quality problems, and even some problems are fatal, for which Sanxian Co., Ltd. does not want to solve, but in the face of the downturn in the international market, as well as the gradually rising labor costs and material costs, if you want to maintain the profitability of the shipyard, you have to lower the original process standards.
Anyway, in the vast sea, who has a head cramp and hits the boat to play?
As long as nothing happens, it's a good ship!
As for the shipowner's supervisors, it's easier to deal with, eat and drink well every day, plus the occasional Kanagawa high school escort girl's family companionship, as long as it's a normal person, I'm embarrassed to find trouble with Sanxian Co., Ltd. again.
So from the 60s onwards, such ships were launched into the sea one after another, and until the US submarine rammed and sank the "Sunsho Maru," there really was not a single accident.
However, the RB government's deliberate cover-up, the RB people blindly opposed the United States, and the only opportunity to make up for the mistakes of the three counties was missed, which made the three counties more fearless.
Until Yamashita Hayashita Hayazaburo received this letter in his hand!
Although the whole story is disgusting to read, the last sentence: "Your ship has serious quality defects in watertight cabins." ”
But it made the eyelids of the mountain jump.
If it was something else, the self-made Yamashita Hayashita Hayazaburo might have taken a gamble, after all, the content of the letter was neither thorough nor too clear about the needs of the people.
It's easy to associate people with nonsensical blackmail.
The problem is that there are other things to say, the matter of the "Hisatsu Maru" Yamashita Hayashita Saburo said that he didn't dare to bet, if this matter was stabbed, the RB government would not spare him first, and the people of RB would spurn him, not to mention, there are powerful US troops behind these two and they have to ask him for an explanation.
It is equivalent to saying that such a thing can make him instantly become the public enemy of the whole RB, how dare Yamashita Hayashi Saburo bet?
However, Yamashita Hayashi Saburo is also a self-made business wizard, and after a short period of horror, he quickly found some doorways, so he turned his head and looked meaningfully at the vertical milling machine not far away, and muttered: "Is it a coincidence?"
