Chapter 46: Conspiracy

Tang Ning's big change of face made the bamboo choke enough, just now he was obviously full of interest in this shipwreck, why did he suddenly become like this? So he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Captain, what is the matter with you, you?" ”

Tang Ning also has his own reasons for doing this, first of all, these materials are just a icing on the cake for him, and it is estimated that it will not add much, because the first shipwreck he has no ability to salvage it, as mentioned earlier, salvaging the wreck is a very difficult comprehensive project, even if the wreck sinks shallower, it is also on the bottom of the sea, he Tang Ning is not doing this, and he does not have professional personnel and equipment, how can it be salvaged up?

Moreover, even if he had this ability, as I said before, such a big operation could not be hidden from people at all, and when General MacArthur knew about it, what should he do? The United States is a little stronger than China in picking up ownerless items, and it will not just give you 500 yuan and a pennant, and if it is confirmed that the thing is ownerless, then it will be owned by the picker, but what is the score, how can this kind of bulk material be allowed to you to have private possession? Unless Downing is one of the top ten consortia, there is still some hope.

Of course, if you want to say that this is not ownerless, in fact, it was deliberately hidden there by Mitsubishi of Japan, this is meaningless, the US military even took away the 175 treasures hidden by Japan in the Philippines, can you still send this ship? And Japan was not without bad deeds before, when the US military first occupied it, it returned the Japanese government's construction materials worth 100 billion yen for post-war reconstruction, but all these things were divided up by the Japanese high-level businessmen, and MacArthur was almost angry to death for this matter, and it took two or three years to send someone to catch these moths one by one, how could it be possible to repeat the mistakes of the past and return the things to the Japanese.

What's more, Downing doesn't have the ability to get it, and he can't afford to invite a salvage company in the United States to come all the way over for this matter, and even if MacArthur comes, he may not agree, so in the end, the biggest possibility is that Downing will report this matter to MacArthur as it is, and then he can get a little priority to buy supplies or a little more military orders. But now Downing has a channel to buy materials, after all, he is the only one in the entire Japanese business community who can trade with foreign countries, so there is no need to buy those things that have been soaked and corroded by seawater, there is a fresh and clean thing that does not need to be used, isn't it sick? As for the military orders, Tang Ning's list in his hand now is not small, and he will not be able to digest it for a while and a half, and no matter how much it is, it may not be a good thing.

There is another very important reason, that is, Tang Ning does not fully believe in this Takegami at all, in fact, since he crossed over, he has not completely believed in anyone. Because this matter is really strange, with his understanding of the Japanese, although it is the norm for the Japanese to bully good and fear evil, and there are many Japanese traitors who kneel and lick the US military uncle like Morimura, but they are generally ordinary people, like Takekami, an old courtier who has worked in Mitsubishi for more than 20 years, and is a supervisor at the level of section chief, although it cannot be said that there is no mutiny, but the cost of mutiny cannot be so low, and the reason should not be so simple.

Of course, Tang Ning couldn't confirm that this must be a scam, but since he felt that there were doubts in it, it was better to be cautious, not to mention that he didn't get much benefit from this matter himself. But once he was deceived, then his loss would be great, not only his good image in the Allied Command was damaged, but also because of this incident, he would delay the establishment and development of his new factory, and it seemed that the Korean War was about to go, and if he missed it, he really did not have the opportunity to become a new generation of Japanese chaebol.

Therefore, Tang Ning said coldly: "Takeshang-kun, I actually don't have much interest in what you said, but if you are willing to give me the information, then I might as well take a look at it as a relief, if there is indeed a matter, I will report it directly to the Allied Command, as for the request you made, the energy of the Allied Command is much greater than that of a small captain like me, I believe that you will not be disappointed." ”

Takegami may be really anxious at this time, and blurted out: "Mr. Captain, I know you alone, I can't trust the others, otherwise, I'll give you the information first, and then you look at me and reward me something, I believe in your generosity and character." ”

Hearing this, Tang Ning couldn't help laughing, so far he was completely sure that this Takegami was a liar, as for whether it was specifically to deceive him alone, or if he had prepared several targets, and deceived one of them, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so after taking the information, he asked Mitsuhiko to get Takegami out.

After getting the information, Tang Ning didn't even have any interest in opening it, so he threw it directly into the drawer. Because he knew that the best way to verify the truth of this matter was time, and if Takegami had deceived several people, then similar news would have come out within the Allies recently; If he was lying to him alone, anyway, he was going to leave this matter for another year, and the US blockade of Japan would not change 50 years ago, so the effect of moving this material now is the same as going to move it in 49 years, and he doesn't believe that any liar can endure it for two years.

In fact, Tang Ning judged correctly, the Takegami shipwreck incident was a hoax against him, and the person responsible for the planning was Yuta Matsumoto, who was most familiar to Mitsubishi and also the most familiar with him within Mitsubishi.

In fact, since Downing and Aoyama Trading Company married and jointly carried out the construction of four new factories, Mitsubishi, Mitsui and other old Japanese chaebols began to pay close attention to this, especially after the DuPont family Jimmy returned to China, Downing began a large-scale purchase of Australian coal, iron ore and DuPont's nylon and other industrial raw materials, Mitsubishi is even more envious eyes are about to bleed, for an old industrial group, they know the importance of these industrial raw materials better than anyone else, But now the only person in Japan who can import openly and openly is Tony Downing, a foreigner.

It would be false to say that Mitsubishi did not regret the failure of the previous cooperation, especially Matsumoto Yuta, who was beating his chest for this, but the words of the old chairman made him understand the good intentions of some old people. According to Iwasaki's theory, a heavy industry group, especially a group that focuses on weapons manufacturing and research and development, if it can't get the full support of the government, then it is destined not to develop to a large scale, the reason why Mitsubishi was able to become the king of heavy industry in Japan before is because of the full cooperation with the government's decisions, so it has been supported by the government sparing no effort, but once Mitsubishi cooperates with the Americans, the identity and position are not so pure, so the government does not suppress you good, how can it continue to support?
