"Something else?" Li Zhiqun suddenly became interested, why didn't he have any plans in this regard, but he didn't know the specific direction.

Yu Xinhong nodded and responded: "Minister, in fact, I have planned for a long time, the financial situation of our police department is tight, and we urgently need to replenish funds, and the current business model in Shanghai has been fixed, the speed of traditional industries to accumulate wealth is too slow, and the profits are too small. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Xinhong coughed lightly, cheered up, and explained some of his previous plans and plates: "At present, the most profitable business in Shanghai is the smuggling of controlled materials, in fact, we have an advantage in this regard, we can think of a way in this regard, if we get the support of General Yingzuo......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhiqun waved his hand with some disappointment and said: "Xinhong, you know that in Shanghai, this kind of business is monopolized by Fujiwara Kaisha, and they act domineeringly, and they will not allow others to meddle in it, don't say it's us, even those Japanese businessmen, don't they also obediently be their suppliers, we can't get the goods at all, and even if there is a way to smuggle in, we don't dare to make a move, once Fujiwara Kaisha notices, it will inevitably be a disaster, too risky." ”

Li Zhiqun vetoed Yu Xinhong's proposal, don't say it's him, even his immediate boss Hiroki Kagesa, and he won't mess with the behemoth Fujiwara Club, he doesn't want to be invited by the Japanese military police to Fujiwara Club as a guest.

Yu Xinhong heard that Li Zhiqun was so jealous, and hurriedly explained: "Minister, you have misunderstood, of course it is impossible for us to sell goods locally, you know, if these controlled materials are transported to the national control area, the profits will be amazing.

My plan is to try to open up the door of the Third Fleet through General Yingzuo, and let us use their special docks, so that we can transport the materials into Shanghai without going through the customs, as long as we do it secretly, and then transport it to Hangzhou in the name of our secret service headquarters, and enter Jiangxi to do business with the Guotong Region, which is a good business, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a million profits. ”

The so-called Third Fleet is the Japanese fleet on the Chinese side that Japan organized to attack Shanghai after the "128 Incident" in 1932, and the Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way during the Battle of Songhu in 1937.

When Li Zhiqun heard this, he was silent for a moment, carefully calculating the feasibility of this matter in his mind, the smuggling of controlled materials is naturally very profitable, which is enough to solve all financial crises, with this financial route, Zhou Fushan and his ilk naturally do not need to pay attention to it, the Ministry of Police and the No. 76 Secret Service Headquarters can achieve greater development, and his position in the Nanjing government can also be more stable.

But the wish is good, but the risk is too high, first of all, he must get the support of Hiroki Kagesa, otherwise, everything is nonsense, and secondly, he has to avoid the eyes and ears of Fujiwara Kaisha, otherwise with the style of Fujiwara Kaisha, the consequences will be very serious, he thinks about it, but he still doesn't dare to make up his mind to get involved.

After a long time, he shook his head and said: "Smuggling controlled materials is certainly profitable, but it is too difficult to operate!" ”

Yu Xinhong saw Li Zhiqun's hesitation, and was secretly anxious in his heart, he is now in charge of Li Zhiqun's financial work, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he has no money in his hands, he often demolishes the east wall to make up the west wall, and his life is not easy.

When he returned to Shanghai this time, he was arranged by Li Zhiqun to manage the mess in western Shanghai, and he was sandwiched between Li Zhiqun and the Qinggang, and he was also tormented, living like a year, and he was worried about his life, so he painstakingly looked for a new way and tried to get out of the current embarrassing situation.

So he continued to try to persuade and said: "Minister, this time the funding gap of the Ministry of Police, you asked General Yingzuo to solve part of it for us, but what to do next, the Japanese army's funds are also tight, he can't always open for us, and the problem will be solved sooner or later."

Besides, there is no shortage of high-level Japanese military leaders who are involved in smuggling materials and have made a lot of profits, and General Kagezo may not be unwilling, he also took the benefits of Fujiwara Kaisha before, but it is not as good as taking it himself, so there is no harm in giving it a try.

If you can agree, then in the future, Shogun Kagesa will trust you even more, and this is also a way to get closer and maintain relations.

In addition, there are also a lot of goods that the Japanese need in the national control area, such as tung oil, pig bristles and other strategic materials, and we have opened channels to exchange these materials for a great achievement, and General Kagesa must be willing.

As for the Fujiwara Society, we don't have any major conflicts of interest, but we borrow the port of Shanghai to purchase goods, and all the smuggled materials are secretly sent to Hangzhou, and they are not sold in Shanghai and Central China.

Minister, extraordinary things do extraordinary things, if there is no new financial resources, it is difficult for the work of the police department to continue, you, the minister of the police department, exist in name only, do you really want to give up Nanjing, return to Shanghai to be the king of grass? ”

Yu Xinhong's words made Li Zhiqun's heart tremble, and the truth in his words was very clear, he was an outlier in the Nanjing government, not trusted by Wang Reclamation, and was squeezed out by Zhou Fushan's family.

After thinking about it, Li Zhiqun finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to Nanjing as soon as possible and ask General Yingzuo for instructions, I hope there will be a good result." ”

In the morning of the next day, Li Zhiqun called Luo Xingchao to his office and informed him of the rush back to Nanjing.

"Xingchao, I have something important to rush back to Nanjing this time, and the work at home will be handed over to you again."

Luo Xingchao suddenly received this notice, and he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, in the past month, Li Zhiqun has been sitting in the secret service headquarters, urging all parties to work, and he himself is very nervous, and now he is naturally quite happy to hear that Li Zhiqun is leaving.

But his mouth said regretfully: "Director, why did you go back to Nanjing so quickly?" ”

Li Zhiqun sighed lightly, he shook his head and said: "I came back this time, the problem of funds is still not settled, I am going to go back to Nanjing to ask General Yingzuo for help, but this time I will come back soon, I called you to come, there is something to arrange for you." ”

"Tell me!"

"When I'm not there, you have to send some people to protect Xinhong's safety, Chen Jinbao and those people are restless, I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, they will do something."

Although Li Zhiqun comforted Yu Xinhong before, he didn't dare to take risks after all, so he still had to do a good job in protecting Yu Xinhong, most of his subordinates had something to do with the Green Gang, and he really didn't dare to assign others at will in this work, Luo Xingchao presided over the work of the secret service headquarters during his absence, and he was born as a Japanese spy and a military commander, all of which had nothing to do with the Qing Gang, and he was relieved to protect Yu Xinhong.

Luo Xingchao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand Li Zhiqun's words, Li Zhiqun had to describe the situation in Huxi, and finally said: "Chen Jinbao is getting more and more excessive now, and he actually interfered in the operation of the secret service headquarters, I used to endure her again and again in the face of the master, but she had to inch in, this woman's character is stubborn, her methods are ruthless, and she does things without considering the consequences, I am afraid that she will take advantage of my absence in Shanghai, Xingchao, you have to pay more attention." ”

Luo Xingchao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said slowly: "Director, since this Chen Jinbao doesn't know anything, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, but he is just a woman, just get rid of it, don't have the kindness of a woman!" ”

If he wants to grasp more initiative in the secret service headquarters, Wu Shicai, who controls the power of action, is his biggest obstacle, but this time the action against Wu Shicai, but because of Chen Jinbao's support, the success was lost, Luo Xingchao has always been quite regretful.

It can be seen from this that with Chen Jinbao as Wu Shicai's backer, it is difficult for him to deal with Wu Shicai, so it is better to borrow Li Zhiqun's hand to get rid of Chen Jinbao and weaken Wu Shicai's strength at the same time.

When Li Zhiqun heard this, he looked at Luo Xingchao, in fact, from the time he knew that Chen Jinbao was doing tricks and feet in the western part of the country, he had this idea in his heart, the business in western Huxi was his money bag, and Chen Jinbao wanted to fight this idea, so he had already committed his taboo, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Now seeing that Luo Xingchao also said the same, he said hesitantly: "Will this cause civil strife?" ”

Luo Xingchao saw Li Zhiqun's intentions, and his heart was happy, Li Zhiqun was the most powerful, and he was most afraid that others would calculate the power in his hands, Chen Jinbao was too strong, and finally made Li Zhiqun murderous.

"Director, the so-called continuous decision-making will be chaotic, and if you get rid of Chen Jinbao, it may not be a mess of the situation, there are so many old characters in this hall, you can just support an obedient person, and it will be calm."

Li Zhiqun sat on the chair and didn't speak for a while, Luo Xingchao knew that Li Zhiqun's mind had moved, so he didn't say more, otherwise it would be too much, and then reported: "By the way, director, we did some work on the investigation of Zha Yutang's disappearance before, but with little success, I just found out that the day before Zha Yutang's disappearance, the American garrison in the public concession arrested a man, this person was ordered to be arrested by Phillips, and then he was locked up in the barracks, and later after some interrogation, The next day, Zha Yutang and his men disappeared, and the man was never seen again.

Also, Zha Yutang's residence and office were also searched by the American garrison, and all the things left behind fell into the hands of Phillips, during which there was no sign of interference by the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, Phillips's identity is special, and he is in the public concession, I really dare not take risks, so I ......"

"Okay, I know all about the situation!" Li Zhiqun waved his hand, he asked Luo Xingchao to investigate the matter of Cha Yutang, in fact, he didn't have much hope, since the opponent made a dead hand, he would not leave too many flaws, and he handled it cleanly and neatly, and now when he heard Luo Xingchao's report, he was completely dead.

"Actually, I also know that if it is really related to the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, with their ability to act, it will be difficult for us to find their traces, let's end this matter first, everything will be said when I come back, alas, this time back to Shanghai, it is all bad news, it is really a headache!"

Li Zhiqun couldn't help but be a little disheartened at this time, this time when he returned to Shanghai, Wu Shicai poked a big hole in the finances of western Shanghai, Zha Yutang, who had finally been recruited, disappeared, Luo Xingchao also returned in vain in the concession, Liu Jianzhi's investigation on the black market was fruitless, and the investigation of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau was repeatedly frustrated and made no progress, all of which made Li Zhiqun very frustrated and helpless, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
