Two days later, Shanghai Wusongkou Customs Wharf, Wusongkou is located at the confluence of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, more than 30 kilometers away from the Yangtze River estuary in the east, Chongming Island in the north, Changxing and other islands in the east across the water, choking the main channel of the Yangtze River on the flank, for Shanghai's sea gateway, all cargo ships entering Shanghai from overseas have to pass through here, and then enter the Huangpu River, unloading goods at various wharves.

Because of the critical location, the Japanese set up customs checkpoints here to supervise and inspect all ships entering the port.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kitaoka Ryoko and his intelligence team and action team and other subordinates waited here early, they were going to take over the batch of fiat currency and money printing machines here, and escort them back to the special high school.

Shanghai is a metropolis with extremely prosperous maritime trade, and many cargo ships entering the Huangpu River every day are inspected at Wusongkou.

While Kitaoka Ryoko was waiting, his intelligence captain Ichiro Yoshimoto ran over and reported: "Team leader, the situation has changed somewhat, Yoshino Maru has arrived, but the customs personnel don't know why, and ordered Yoshinomaru to postpone his entry into the port!" ”

"What?" Ryoko Kitaoka was shocked when she heard this.

In order to hide people's eyes, this time the escort mission was carried out secretly, so the navy's warships were not used for transportation, and the ordinary freighter Yoshino Maru was used, and ordinary freighters needed to go through customs inspection before they could enter the port, but they brought the procedures for exemption from inspection, and everything could be completed without anyone knowing.

But now there is an unexpected situation, is there something wrong?

This task is very important, and there must be no mistakes, Kitaoka Yoshiko did not dare to delay, and immediately led people to the command room of the Japanese Customs.

Because it was a secret mission, Kitaoka Ryoko and his subordinates were not wearing military uniforms, they were all dressed in suits, and when they broke into the customs command room, they were immediately stopped by the customs guards.

Kitaoka Ryoko was anxious, where did he take care of so much, and his team members pushed away a few guards, and soon came to the door of the command room.

At this time, several officers in the command room were chatting happily with a Japanese businessman in a suit and leather shoes.

Customs officer Yoshida Akima Shaozo said with a smile: "Hirao-kun, in fact, you don't have to stay here at all, just make a phone call, please rest assured, as long as it is your designated freighter, you can enter the port first anytime and anywhere, and it will never delay your company's affairs." ”

"Yes, we have been under the care of President Fujiwara for such a long time, and we will do our best to make it convenient for your company, and I would like to ask Hirao-kun to convey our respect to President Fujiwara!" Another officer, Yasuhiro Hashimoto, also spoke out and said flatteringly.

The others also chimed in, and the Japanese businessman sitting in the middle was none other than Hirao Daichi, the sales manager of Fujiwara Kaisha.

It turns out that since the Fujiwara Club opened the smuggling channel to the national control area, the amount of goods required has increased several times, no matter how many goods are transported, they will be dumped at the first time, and the supply is completely in short supply, so Ning Zhiheng ordered to increase the smuggling of freight again, and now almost every ten days there will be a cargo ship full of smuggled goods to the port, and Hirao Daichi, as the person in charge, has to be received at Wusongkou Customs every time.

As for these Japanese officers up and down the customs, as early as the beginning of the smuggling opening, they were bribed by Ishikawa Takeshi with money, and every time a freighter entered the port, they would have a large amount of benefit fees, so as long as the ship carrying the goods of the Fujiwara Kaisha entered the port, it was the priority to enter the port without inspection every time.

As for Hirao Daichi, he has long been fighting with these officers, everyone knows that behind him is the son of the Fujiwara family, who is also extremely influential in the high-level in Shanghai, that is, their top boss, the commander of the Military Police Command, Ryuji Katsuta, also cited him as a close friend, so he is also extremely polite to Hirao Daichi, and who doesn't know that Fujiwara Kaisha is rich and rich, and everyone wants to make friends!

You see, Ishikawa Shaosa, who is the spokesperson of President Fujiwara, has endless banknotes in his hand, and he scatters them wherever he goes! Which one of them around him is not a dedicated stutter, or those Zhongzuo and Dazuo who are higher in rank than him, are they also greeted with a polite smile, and now how beautiful they are in Shanghai!

In the mouths of Ishikawa Takeshi and other military officers, the president of the Fujiwara Kaisha seems to be a big man who is difficult for them to climb up to the top of the low-level officers, so as the manager of the Fujiwara Kaisha, Hirao Daichi, his status is naturally rising, and everyone is also deliberately flattering him.

The corners of Hirao's mouth showed a smug smile, as the manager of Fujiwara Kaisha, he was used to seeing these flattering smiling faces in front of him, these usually high-ranking imperial officers, under the influence of power and money, now want to accompany him as a businessman with a smile, lest it cause him to displeasure, which made Hirao Daichi's heart can't help but rise a trace of indescribable happiness.

"Gentlemen, I will definitely convey your support to the president, please rest assured, our Fujiwara Kaisha will never let down our friends, we ......"

Just when Hirao Daichi was talking eloquently and was in high spirits, the door was kicked open, and Ryoko Kitaoka rushed in with someone.

Yoshida Akima couldn't help but be very annoyed when he saw so many people breaking into the command room, he pointed at Kitaoka Ryoko and scolded loudly: "Yaga, who are you, how dare you break in like this?" ”

Yasuhiro Hashimoto, an officer on the side, also said: "This is an important customs place, and no one is allowed to enter, who are you?" ”

Kitaoka Ryoko looked at the people in the room, showed his documents, and said in a cold voice: "I am Kitaoka Ryoko, the head of the intelligence team of the Special High Section, I want to ask why Yoshinomaru was delayed entering the port, what happened." ”

Extra-high class? Several customs officers frowned, the special high class is an intelligence department, and they have certain privileges in their hands, and it seems that they are not good.

However, these officers are not particularly suspicious of the special high school, because the special high school was only subordinate to the intelligence department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs many years ago, and only in recent years has it gradually been assigned to the military functional department.

The functions of the special higher division are more aimed at civilians, monitoring Chinese civilians and banning anti-Japanese speech, collecting intelligence, sabotaging anti-Japanese underground organizations, detecting, interrogating and dealing with secret agents, and carrying out activities such as plotting rebellion and inducing surrender.

Their authority, while large, is limited in their ability to bind the military.

The Wusongkou Customs is subordinate to the military and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Police Headquarters, and although they have some scruples about the special high school, they are far from being afraid.
