Chapter 147: Sunrise
Four o'clock in the morning, Signal Hill, Observatory.
A man in a black trench coat and a top hat sits on a large rock jutting out of the air next to the observatory, looking at the light white line where the sea and the sky meet.
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and without looking back, he said, "In half an hour, the sun will rise." ”
"Really? It seems that I am not old yet, and I originally thought that by the time I climbed up, the red sun should have jumped over the horizon. Gu Di Huaxiong's voice trembled a little - although the signal mountain is not very high, it is not easy for an old man who is nearly 70 years old.
"No, even if it's a young man, it's not easy to climb this mountain, and the physical strength of the head makes Momiji admire it very much." Geng Chaozhong stood up and turned around, half of his face hidden under the high collar, and in the darkness, only a pair of his bright eyes could be seen.
Gu Di Huaxiong wore a Japanese kimono today, and he still had a cane in his hand, but he did not have any retinue behind him, and it seemed that he had climbed to the top of the mountain alone.
"Thank you Momiji-kun for your compliment, however, the sunrise and sunset are natural principles, and so is birth, old age, sickness and death. Perhaps, the sunset is more suitable for me. Gu Di Huaxiong took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Geng Chaozhong.
"The head of the meeting is polite, the head of the meeting has fought for the empire all his life, and he is an example for my generation to learn." Geng Chaozhong saw Gu Di Huaxiong standing next to him, and tried his best to suppress the urge to push him down.
Gu Di Huaxiong seemed to sense something, his sharp gaze looked at Geng Chaozhong's face covered by the collar, and said, "Hongye Jun, even in the face of an old man who is about to return to China, are you unwilling to show your true face?" ”
"I'm sorry, Gu Disang," Geng Chaozhong's tone revealed regret, "I'm used to living in the dark, and the sun will make me feel uncomfortable. ”
"Well, I admire your principles. Momiji-kun, do you know why I have to meet you before leaving? Gu Di Huaxiong asked.
"That's exactly what I want to ask you today." Geng Chaozhong replied.
"Because, I always feel like we've met on some occasion. At the dinner party when the old emperor of Xuantong left the island city, I once saw you from afar. At that time, you liked to wear a pair of sunglasses for activities, right, Boss Bai? Gu Di Huaxiong's gaze seemed to penetrate Geng Chaozhong's collar.
"Haha, sure enough, I can't hide anything from the wise Mr. Gu Di Huaxiong," Geng Chaozhong replied, "I want to ask you how you guessed it." ”
"It's already obvious, after all, you've given too much for this mission, Boss White is from the Empire, and almost everyone who has studied you will come to this conclusion - especially after this bombing. However, long before that, I had already asked the Kanto Agency Special High School about your identity, and the reply to me was only four words: No comment. A smile appeared on Gu Di Huaxiong's face.
"Hehehe," Geng Chaozhong let out a pleasant laugh under his collar, "At that time, I was on a mission close to Pu Yi, but Huishou, do you know the reason why I am willing to come to see you today?" ”
Gu Di Huaxiong shook his head, his gray whiskers stood upright, and his eagle-like eyes were staring at Geng Chaozhong's eyes.
"As you said, I gave too much for this mission. Because of this mission, I had to abandon my identity as Boss Bai, and my property in the island city had to be transferred to Mantetsu Co., Ltd., which was arranged by Sato-kun, but recently I encountered a lot of trouble when I tried to recover my property. Geng Chaozhong said.
"Oh," Gu Di Huaxiong showed a mocking smile on his face, "Those greedy businessmen must have seen the huge profits brought by your industry, and of course they are not willing to let go. In their eyes, how can a spy who has been exposed be qualified to have such a huge industry? ”
"Yes, so I had to ask for your help." Geng Chaozhong said.
"This mission was originally my request. So, of course, I am very responsible for your loss. Gu Di Huaxiong muttered, "Shimajo Mantetsu Co., Ltd. is a subordinate organization under the Manchurian Railway Headquarters, and Mr. Yasuya Uchida, the president of the Mukden Manchurian Railway Headquarters, happens to be my old friend in the imperial family. I thought, I can help you. ”
"Thank you! Thank you for your help! Geng Chaozhong bowed to Gu Di Huaxiong, "These industries are of great help to the task I am about to perform, and the cause of our empire must not fall into the hands of those greedy and shameless people." ”
"Momiji-kun, don't worry, I will help you with this matter soon. A large number of merchants are helping the empire in China, and if we fail to safeguard their interests in China, the empire's attempt to control China's economic lifeline will be an empty word. I will explain this to Mr. Yasuya Uchida, and if necessary, I will create public opinion in the country to protest against the tyranny of the Manchurian Railway. Gu Di Huaxiong's tone was very firm, and it was obvious that he also had a lot of criticism about some of what Mantie had done.
Geng Chaozhong's face showed a look of joy.
Before, he sold the watch shop and club to Mantetsu Co., Ltd. for 200,000 yuan, and Sato said that when the time is ripe, he will naturally return the industry to himself, but when is the time ripe? Geng Chaozhong couldn't believe his promise, not to mention, Sato's energy was limited, if Mantetsu insisted on embezzling his own industry, then there was nothing he could do!
This is also Geng Chaozhong's biggest worry - he has no backing in Japan, sitting on an industry of nearly 300,000 yuan, just like a child walking in the downtown with gold, it will definitely arouse the covetousness of others. It's easy to sell its property to Manchurian Railway this time, but if you want to get it back, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Therefore, I must find a qualified backer to form a counterbalance with the Manchurian Railway, and the Black Dragon Club stands behind the four major chaebols of Japan's "Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda"!
This time, with Gu Di Huaxiong's help, he sold the property to Manchurian Railway at a low price, and he could recover it smoothly without any interference!
"Ahriga, Imas!" Geng Chaozhong bowed to Gu Di Huaxiong again.
"Okay, Hongye-kun, in this matter, you can rest assured that your recovery of your own property will not be hindered in any way. And I believe that we will have in-depth cooperation in the future. Gu Di Huaxiong's eyes flashed with essence, for Gu Di Huaxiong, if he could control an imperial spy who was both a merchant and a spy, it would also be of great benefit to the activities of the Black Dragon Society in China.
Although the Black Dragon Society has a large number of people, but the elite is extremely scarce, for the future of the Black Dragon Society, Gu Di Huaxiong must take precautions, and this red leaf is the kind of talent he needs the most!
"Thank you, Gu Disan! You see, the sun has risen! Geng Chaozhong suddenly pointed into the distance.
At the junction of the sea and the sky, the sky was full of red clouds, and half of the red sun had been exposed, and the two stopped talking and began to quietly appreciate this rare wonder.
