Chapter 167 The Noble Man of Destiny
Compared with the Japanese army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, many people who paid attention to this war began the Japanese army's war in China, and turned from the initial offensive to a state of confrontation.
For many Shanghai citizens who were concerned about the front-line war, the just-concluded Battle of Changsha made them celebrate the success of the Zhongyan Army in thwarting the Japanese attack on Changsha. The capsizing of the Izumo made the citizens of Shanghai even more happy.
Even if the time is not long in winter, for many little devils stationed in Shanghai, they feel that this year's Shanghai winter seems to be extraordinarily cold. The bombing of the garrison headquarters also made the little devil feel extremely embarrassed.
After several days of investigation, there was still no clue, which made the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai very dissatisfied with the intelligence officers of the special high section. And the agents of No. 76 were also trained like dogs by the little devils during this time.
In the past, when something happened, they could always find out what they wanted to know by spending money or bribing them. However, regarding the bombing case, the Japanese army's special high school could not find out at all how the attackers were organized.
The only thing that can be done is to strengthen all of their important locations in Shanghai. In some places where vehicles can be entered, the little devils even set up three checkpoints, in order to avoid suicide attacks like the previous one.
Unable to find out the identity of the attackers, the Special High Division instructed the intelligence officers to focus on investigating the source of the explosives. As an embargoed material for the Japanese army, various raw materials for the manufacture of gunpowder are also prohibited materials under the control of the Japanese army.
It doesn't matter if you check it like this, but the situation found out makes the little devil have a lot of dissatisfaction with the commercial banks opened in Shanghai by various countries. The reason is very simple: a large number of prohibited materials that were found to be sold to the Kuomintang were sold from Shanghai.
In the face of the sale of prohibited materials designated by the Japanese army by these foreign firms, the Japanese consuls stationed in Shanghai could only protest to the consuls of various countries. However, the consuls of various countries also did not pay much attention to the protests of the Japanese army.
Even a consul bluntly said: "This is China, and we also have the right to trade." Your colonial war against China has infringed on the interests of our countries in China. Now you are raiding our firms, are you trying to declare war on us? ”
With the outbreak of the European war, the little devils in Southeast Asia seemed to be ready to move, and the consuls led by Britain and France also won over the American consuls in China and began to put pressure on the little devils. In the eyes of these consuls, the little devil has been acting too rampant lately.
When it comes to the interests of various countries in China, even the consuls of various countries who have a good relationship with the little devils are on the side of the big countries such as Britain, France and the United States this time. After all, the sale of prohibited items designated by the Japanese army was also one of the channels for them to make profits.
How can they live a superior life by relying on the salary paid in China to serve as a military attache or consul in China? Only by doing some shady transactions can you make money!
At present, the little devils are vigorously investigating their business firms, undoubtedly infringing on their interests in China, and trying to cut off the money flowing into their pockets. In this way, how can the consuls of various countries let the little devils succeed?
As a result, it was obvious that the protests of the little devils had no effect at all, and even under the unanimous pressure of the consuls of various countries, the Japanese military police had to release the arrested employees of the foreign companies and return the confiscated goods.
In response to this situation, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, although he seemed very angry, could only swallow his anger and said: "Baga! One day, we will drive all these arrogant European and American powers out of Shanghai.
The gendarmerie and the National Police Agency were ordered to keep an eye on the sales of goods from foreign companies. Now we can't afford to provoke these European and American powers, but I want to see who dares to buy their goods. As long as the goods are out of the city, they will be detained for me. ”
Regarding the commander's instructions, a staff officer also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency the commander, when these foreigners sell goods, they sometimes send people to escort them out of the city. In this case, what should we do? ”
'Yaga! Do you need to ask me this kind of thing? Since those people are looking for death, won't you let people send them to die? There are a lot of outlaws in Shanghai, as long as you spend money, are you afraid that you won't be able to find someone to sell your life?
What can they say as long as they don't catch the evidence? As long as their sales channels are cut off, I will see who they sell their hoarded goods to. Troops in all localities were ordered to intensify the inventory of caravans in the territory in the near future. ’
'Hey! ’
can't control the people who sell the goods, and the little devil quickly comes up with the people who block the buyers. Such control measures have undoubtedly caused the business of foreign banks in various countries to plummet. Even many foreigners have encountered accidents.
The Wolf Warrior mercenary group, which had already established several secret transportation channels, soon learned of the situation. Compared with their secret channels, even if they are intercepted by little devils or puppet soldiers, they are fully capable of fighting their way out of the encirclement.
After all, every time Zhao Tiehu transferred goods, he would send special combat personnel to secretly escort them. If you want to intercept the goods of the wolf warriors, the little devils must send out a large force. Otherwise, the lockdown measures of the little devils will not work either.
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Tiehu called David out again, and asked with a smile: "The business of your various firms should not be good recently, right?" ”
'Indeed! These people are really crazy, killing a lot of people who buy and sell goods in the surrounding area. But there is no evidence to be caught, and there is nothing the countries can do with these Japanese bowls. After all, now Shanghai is controlled by them. ’
'What if I can find evidence?' The Japanese army issued an order to blockade and embargo, and I think it is still possible to find an insider. If you have the courage to make serious representations with the Japanese army, I can find evidence for you, and the human and material evidence is complete. ’
Hearing this, David was also surprised and said, "Chen, are you serious? ”
'You've been in contact with me for so long, when do you think I've lied?' During this time, we have also traded a lot of goods privately, but have you seen that my goods have been intercepted by the little devils?
As I said, my channel here is far bigger than you think. Most importantly, I have a group of elite fighters who are truly not afraid of death. The little devils who want to intercept my goods will only lose their lives in vain, unless they send a large army. ’
'Okay, I'll discuss this matter with Attache Eiwell before I get to you with news!' ’
The Aiwell in David's mouth is also a military attache in China sent by the U.S. military to China. David was able to mix like a fish in water in the concession, and he also used a lot of help from Ewell. In addition, he has made money recently, and he is even more popular with envoys from various countries in China.
In the concessions, as long as foreign businessmen can make money, they will become the objects of friendship between envoys of various countries in China. After all, being able to make money in this situation shows that David also has his own secret channels. And this kind of channel is valued by all countries.
Regarding the relationship between Zhao Tiehu and David, Zhao Tiehu has always told David to keep it a secret. The contact between the two seems to be a little secret many times. Even if you come to the hotel to eat, most of them go into the private room to eat.
Doing so is also to maximize the safety of the two. For Zhao Tiehu's request, David naturally would not refuse. Even after recently moving into the concession, David hired several retired soldiers as bodyguards.
After all, the recent events in Shanghai have indeed made many foreigners more worried about their own safety. The richer a person is, the more afraid he is of death. Therefore, after hiring a few bodyguards, David also felt very face-saving.
But David still knows that his current face is more due to his acquaintance with Zhao Tiehu. If something really happened to Zhao Tiehu, he would be immediately beaten back to his original form. Without Zhao Tiehu's help in selling goods, he is really nothing!
It is clear that if Zhao Tiehu can really find evidence to prove that those foreigners who were killed were all instructed by the Japanese army, I believe that other countries also have reason to protest and claim compensation against the Japanese army. In this case, the Japanese army can also bear the blame of the country.
At least Zhao Tiehu believes that in the current international situation, the Japanese bowl will not dare to do anything to these European and American powers. Only if the consuls of various countries have evidence, they can force the little devils to swallow their anger and make compensation.
After listening to what David said, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "There is one thing I must state in advance, if we find evidence and witnesses, you must provide a certain amount of compensation." After all, I can't serve you for free.
As for the corresponding remuneration, I will send someone to talk to you when I have collected the people and evidence. At least I believe that as long as there is conclusive evidence that the foreigners who were killed were instigated by the Japanese army, you will be able to claim compensation.
Again, I like to have money for everyone to earn. Therefore, it is important to convey this to the consuls of each country. Even if there is information that you are interested in in the future, I will make a deal with you. Of course, I will not come forward, but you will do it.
I take what I deserve, and as for how much you can profit from it, that's your business. At least I believe that with this opportunity, you will also be a guest of honor at the consuls of various countries, right? ”
'Thank you! Chen, you are really my precious person! ’
'Really? My pleasure! It seems that you have made greater progress in Chinese culture, congratulations! ’
After the two looked at each other and laughed, they soon reached a corresponding agreement on the matter. Not long after, Zhao Tiehu sent several intelligence materials about foreigners being attacked out of the city. The human and material evidence is complete, and the price is not cheap.
But for the consuls of various countries, they urgently need a breakthrough to change the current unfavorable situation of goods sales of foreign banks. For this reason, the corresponding deal was quickly negotiated, and after the payment of the money, the witnesses, the evidence and even the interrogation statements were readily available.
Seeing such detailed information, the consuls of various countries gathered again and summoned the consul of the Japanese bowl in Shanghai, and made serious protests and representations. Even the British and American consuls directly stated that this was a deliberate provocation against the two countries.
If the Japanese side does not give an explanation, the consuls of the two countries will also propose that the National Assembly send additional troops to Shanghai. In this way, I am afraid that it will also form an effective containment and threat to the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai.
Although the Japanese consul did not want to admit the account, the witnesses had all the evidence and confessions, and they could not deny it. Faced with this situation, they can't think of any other way than to give some blood to appease these greedy consuls!
Unless they really have the courage to attack all the British, American, and French troops in China. Otherwise, what can be done but swallow this dumb loss?
