The patrol camp made such a big move in the western area of the concession that it quickly alarmed the Japanese. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After talking to Xu Rui about work last night, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was admitted to the naval hospital, but this morning, there were constantly eyeliners to report to him that the security crackdown in the western area of the concession occurred, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao realized that the situation was extraordinary, and he couldn't stay in the naval hospital anymore, so he immediately took the car back to the Nakamura office.
As soon as he returned, Kagesa Zhenzhao found Nakamura Jun and reported to him the severe crackdown in the western area of the concession.
"Strike hard?" Nakamura Jun said abruptly, "It's nothing more than the three fires of the new official taking office, taking the opportunity to establish his authority." β
As a high-level spy, Nakamura Jun can easily guess that this is Xu Rui's doing, Xu Rui made such a big move in the western area of the concession with the help of the patrol camp, there must be a plan behind it, and the plan is definitely not small! However, as a spy with high professional ethics, Nakamura Jun must ignore this.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao shook his head and said: "However, judging from the intensity of the strict crackdown, it seems to be serious, because it is not only the street gangsters who are severely beaten, but even the gangsters of the Green Gang are also among the crackdowns. β
"Really?" Nakamura said abruptly, "So the patrol camp really intends to rectify the law and order in the concession, but they are too naΓ―ve to think, how can the security in Shanghai be done well by striking hard?" β
Nakamura Jun is actually right to say this, because the basis of Shanghai's poor security is the concession, and as long as the concession is still there, Shanghai's security will definitely not be good!
Kagesa Zhenzhao said: "Your Excellency General, what I'm worried about is that the patrol battalion will do this, will there be any conspiracy? β
"Conspiracy?" Jun Nakamura shook his head and said, "Kagesa-kun, I know that you are an agent, and it is your professional habit to suspect everything, but you can't doubt everything, otherwise our Nakamura agency will not be able to keep busy at all, after all, our manpower, material resources, and energy are limited, right?" β
"Hello." Ying Zuozhen paused and said, "Let Your Excellency the General bother." β
After a pause, Nakamura Jun continued: "By the way, Kagesa-kun, there is another matter, just now the commander of the Kwantung Army, His Excellency General Ueda, sent a telegram, urging us to pay off the opium payments for the previous three months. β
The Kwantung Army cultivated and refined opium in the northeast, and Shanghai was its dumping site.
In fact, income from opium sales had become the main source of military spending for the Kwantung Army.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao frowned and said, "Your Excellency General, didn't you say that it would end in half a year?" β
Nakamura Jun waved his hand and said, "Kagesa-kun, you don't know, in the past half a year, Ishihara has spent money like water, and General Ueda can't stand it, so he will urge us to settle the payment." β
The Kwantung Army was aggressively expanding its armored forces, and several new production lines of rocket launchers were launched, so it was in urgent need of money.
"But we don't have a lot of money." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao frowned and said, "The funds for the Central China Dispatch Army have not been paid off, and the Imperial Association Army has not been paid for three months, if it continues to be in arrears, I am worried that the Imperial Association Army will mutiny, so we are very nervous about our own expenses, how can we have excess money to pay to the Kwantung Army?" β
Nakamura Jun said: "The funds for the Central China Dispatch Army are owed first, as for the military salary of the Imperial Army, let the Central Reserve Bank issue an additional 10 million Central Reserve Coupons first, and then take it back, but the Kwantung Army is at the moment, and we must not cut off their salaries, so you should think of a way as soon as possible." β
Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao said: "Then you can only increase the commercial tax, but now that the New Year has not yet come out, the commercial tax has been increased twice, and I can't find any excuse for the additional levy." β
Jun Nakamura said: "If you make any excuse, you just say that it will be next year's business tax!" β
While the two were talking, Ryota Kawamoto walked in and reported, "Your Excellency General, Liang Sang is here." β
Nakamura Jun said to Kage Zuo Zhenzhao: "Kage Sa-kun, Liang Wuyi must have something urgent to find you, you go quickly, don't forget about it, and settle the opium payment of the Kwantung Army as soon as possible." β
"Hay, then I will leave first." Kagesa shook his head and then went back to his office with his arms down.
In his office, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao saw Liang Wuyi, but this time, Liang Wuyi didn't make any more tea, because Ying Zuo Zhenzhao had already put away the valuable purple clay pot tea set.
Seeing Ying Zuo Zhenzhao coming in, Liang Wuyi, that is, Xu Rui, immediately got up and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, I don't know if you have heard, the patrol camp is carrying out a strict crackdown on public security in the western area of the concession, but it is lively." β
"I just heard about it, too." Kagezo Zhenzhao said, "Does Liang Sang have any ideas? β
"Your Excellency, I really have a little idea." Xu Rui said in a low voice, "I don't care what the purpose of the patrol camp is to crack down, anyway, I only know that the patrol camp is the enemy of the imperial army, they are the enemy of the imperial army, that is, the enemy of our peace promotion association's secret service, so the more they want to do, the more we have to sabotage." β
After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "If they want to strike hard, we will carry out anti-strike hard!" β
"Anti-Strike Hard?" Kage Zuo Zhenzhao's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest, "What are you going to do?" β
From Xu Rui's words, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao keenly found an opportunity, a good opportunity to raise money for opium for the Kwantung Army without additional commercial taxes! If it is done well, this time we will not only be able to settle the money owed to the Kwantung Army for opium goods at one time, but we will even be able to make up for the surplus, and perhaps the funds owed to the Central China Army will also be able to make up for it.
Xu Rui said in a low voice: "I plan to build a gang, in the name of the Axe Gang, openly enter the western area of the concession to collect protection money, and take the opportunity to conflict with the patrol camp, we can not only fight the patrol camp, but even take advantage of the opportunity to ...... that" Xu Rui rubbed his fingers when he said this, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, you know." β
Ying Zuozhen really understood, and he was in the middle of it, he was dozing off, and Liang Wuyi sent the pillow up.
The wonderful thing about this is that there is no need for the Japanese government or the reform government to bear the blame, because this is completely a spontaneous act of the gangsters, and even if the Ministry of Industry and the patrol camp in the concession know that this matter was done by the special service of the East Asia Peace Promotion Association supported by the Nakamura organ, they have nothing to say, and they want to trouble us, where is your evidence?
When the shadow Zuo Zhenzhao said: "Since you have decided to do it, then simply be ruthless!" β
From Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's tone, Xu Rui heard the undisguised killing intent, this old devil wants to play big?
At that moment, Xu Rui comprehended and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Dazuo, rest assured, we're the 'Axe Gang' will definitely uproot the big smoke house in the western area of the concession, and the benefits will be divided into sixty or four with the Nakamura organ." β
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's old face immediately collapsed, and he glared at Xu Rui fiercely and remained silent.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't mind Xu Rui taking the big tobacco houses in the western area of the concession as a fat sheep to slaughter, anyway, the western area of the concession did not belong to their Japanese jurisdiction, no matter how big the trouble was, it had nothing to do with them, not to mention, if Liang Wuyi really uprooted all the big tobacco houses in the western area of the concession, those smokers would pour into the Japanese concession, and their business would be better.
What Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was not satisfied with was Xu Rui's plan to divide the spoils in fifty and fifty.
Xu Rui smiled a little wryly, and said, "Then, how about splitting the account five or five times?" β
Ying Zuozhen Zhao snorted and said, "Liang Sang, do you know how many big smoke houses there are in the western area of the concession?" Do you know how much benefit you can get from serving these big smoke houses in one pot? β
"Well...... Xu Rui rubbed his hands and said, "There should be three or five hundred thousand oceans, right?" β
"Three and a half million oceans?" Two black lines immediately floated on the door of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's head, and he said, "You also underestimate the family background of those big smoke houses, according to my estimate, more than three or five million oceans!" If you are smart enough to knock out all the family flags that have been accumulated over the years in those big tobacco houses, it is possible to have 30 or 50 million. β
After a pause, Kagesa Zhenzhao snorted again, "How many people are there in your East Asia Peace Promotion Association now?" Can you afford so much money? Therefore, you are left with three achievements, and the remaining seventy percent are all handed in. β
Xu Rui said with a smile: "Your Excellency Dazuo, that's not what you said, there are not many of us at the moment, but because there are not many people, we urgently need to recruit people, so we urgently need money, do you think, you need to buy equipment to recruit people, right?" Too many people need a car, right? There is also a settling-in allowance for the brothers, which adds up to a lot of money. β
Shadow Zuozhen Zhao scolded in his heart when he heard this, hasn't this gentleman always spent money lavishly, why did he suddenly become shrewd? At the moment, he said angrily: "Okay, then four six, your peace promotion association four, Nakamura organ six, it's so decided, don't bargain anymore!" β
"Okay, then divide the account in four or six." Xu Rui nodded and agreed, not forgetting to ask for more benefits, "However, Your Excellency Dazuo, our secret service is under-equipped and there is not much ammunition, so you have to give some." β
"You're really looking for a time to reach out." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao had no choice but to sign the list, and then asked Xu Rui to take the documents to the logistics office to get the guns and ammunition, and finally, Xu Rui pulled a full truckload of guns and ammunition back, and the truck was detained after arriving at the Broadway Building.
Xu Rui asked the truck driver to take a rickshaw back, and also asked the devil driver to bring a message to Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, saying that the truck was temporarily borrowed and returned to the Nakamura agency after the operation was over.
After receiving the report, Kage Saza Zhenzhao could only smile bitterly, he knew that this truck must have been borrowed or not, but Kage Saza Zhenzhao didn't care too much about this, as long as this operation was successful, the East Asia Peace Promotion Association could bring millions of oceans of income to the Nakamura organs, and what could a mere truck count?
A good show is slowly kicking off.
