Chapter 818: Going on the road

It is reasonable for Mitaka Kumamoto and Yamamoto to choose to cooperate with Ryosuke Hasea. The counterfeit banknote plan is public and generous gifts are private. Why not do it when both public and private are taken into account?

Besides, the final result of the matter depends on the game between the big names in Tokyo, which cannot be decided by them. There is no need for the two to offend a luxury figure with great power in Shanghai for this.

The cooperative relationship was initially determined. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Then Hasegawa Ryosuke waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to help disassemble the printing press and seize the time to transfer the money printing factory.

Looking at the quick movements and behaviors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spies, Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction and turned sideways and softly praised the financial supporter.

"Yoxi, thank you Hase-kun. The quality of your staff has opened my eyes. In the words of Chinese people, you are really a strong general who has no weak soldiers."

Mitsuki Namoto observed for a while, and nodded from the side and echoed: "The intelligence personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are indeed well-known and deserve to be the elite of the empire."

As he said that, he asked another question seemingly unintentionally: "But Deputy Minister Hasegawa, you said that you can help us move to a safe place. Can you tell me the specific arrangements?"

He asked this not because he doubted anything, but because of his nature and professional instinct. The longer he worked in this industry, the harder it was to trust others.

Even if the other party is about to take office as the head of the agency and has undergone the strictest background review, you still have to be careful where you should be careful.

Besides, the two sides have never had a deal, and he doesn't understand how capable the other party is. If he is a young man with high skills and low eyes, he will be unlucky at that time, and he will have to be careful of this matter.

At the same time, the reputation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not very good in the empire. Diplomats who graduated from higher education institutions and claim to be knowledgeable have always scoffed at the fact that they sacrificed their lives for the locust.

They regard serving the empire as an ordinary job, not a glory. As long as there are enough benefits, it is common to sell the empire's interests.

If this person is also a non-national, wouldn’t they fall into the trap of their own?

It is necessary to ask the other party’s next arrangement to make a judgment. After asking, Mitsuki Naruto secretly observed Hase’s reaction

Hasegawa Ryosuke seemed to have not seen his actions and said confidently: "Please rest assured, I found a printing factory in the Zhabei area of ​​the former China Realm, which meets all the printing requirements.

It is very remote, adjacent to the suburbs, and there are no residents nearby. The only highway was destroyed during the Battle of Songhu, and few people pass by it.

And it is very close to the garrison barracks. Once someone attacks, the Imperial Warriors will come to wipe out the attackers within five minutes. Colonel Kumamoto, I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer."

“Arigado Gouza Imas.”

Mitaka Kumamoto bowed slightly and said thank you. As the oldest and oldest among the three, using such words between peers is equivalent to apologizing.

"Your Excellency Nanmoto, you are so kind."

Hasegawa Ryosuke was shocked and quickly dodged away from the other party's salute, and discussed the evacuation route with Mitaka Kumamoto and Yamamoto.

There are two routes to go from Houde Middle School to Zhabei.

First, go north and cross the Sucheng River directly.

The second is to go westward and cross the river by the Cao family and then go around.

The first route of Mitaka Kumamoto and Yamamoto Kyu is more suitable because it is close and it takes only an hour to reach the scheduled location.

After hearing this, Hasea Ryosuke shook his head and expressed his disagreement. He took out a map of Shanghai and pointed to Suchenghe and said seriously.

"I have roughly seen that it takes at least 15 trucks to transport all the items away. Such a large convoy is very conspicuous, and the intelligence personnel of the National Government are not blind.

Moreover, there are not many bridges on the Sucheng River. As long as the Chinese send people to guard it, it is easy to lock us. Don’t forget that this is the Republic of China and they are not short of personnel.

If you want to hide from the other party, unless you break the whole thing into pieces and let the trucks go to Zhabei separately, this will disperse the escorts and make it easier for the enemy to destroy them.

Of course, if Colonel Kumamoto doesn't mind and can let the garrison protect the entire process, then there will be no problem. No matter how elite agents are, they will not be able to fight head-on with the regular army."

"Yoxi, this is reasonable."

Yamamoto thought, if he was Chinese, he didn't need to know what was installed in each car, just attack one.

Because the car is equipped with either the machine or the raw materials, no matter which aspect there is a problem, repair or repurchase will take time.

If the core components of the printing press are destroyed by the other party, it is probably a long way to go to restore the printing of money, and the first route is indeed risky.

As for the protection of the troops, this is not within their plan. If it were not for the purpose of keeping confidentiality and diverting attention, they would not have to set up the printing factory in the sphere of influence of the British and American countries. There are some places in Hongkou.

Minataka Nanmoto realized this and couldn't help but frown. However, the second route was equivalent to going around half of Shanghai. Will you encounter danger at such a long distance?

While in a dilemma, he suddenly saw Hasegawa Ryosuke's confident look, and his heart moved. He understood that the other party might have had a countermeasure, so he quickly asked for it.

"Haguchi, don't keep it in hiding. If you have any good solutions, just tell me."

Hearing this sentence, Hasea Ryosuke smiled slightly, and clicked not far from the south of Caojiadu on the map with his hand, and looked up at the two of them.

"Since the highway is prone to attack, why don't we change our thinking? There is a railway freight station here. The Beijing-Shanghai Railway passes the Caojiadu Railway Bridge and goes directly to the Zhabei area.

If I have no calculation errors, the truck can drive on the flatbed train and drive directly to the North Station. The loading and unloading work will be completed by us. No one knows what is installed inside.

More importantly, there are empires along the railway line. The army is stationed. Even if the Chinese are brave enough to take action under heavy troops, they will not dare to attack under heavy troops. What do you think?"

Railway transportation?

Is it so complicated to use?

Mitaka Kumamoto and Yamamoto fell into deep thought. The problems they are currently facing are, first, fearing that the Chinese will cause damage, and second, it is inconvenient to send troops to protect them in order to keep them confidential.

These two are contradictory. If the army cannot be used on a large scale, it cannot ensure that there is no accident during transportation. Therefore, although the Changgu method is troublesome, it can effectively prevent attacks.

The government was defeated again and again, and even Jinling was lost. There were only some scattered soldiers and raiders left in the Shanghai area, which was indeed difficult to pose a threat to the railway line.

At this moment, a few dull explosions came faintly outside the basement.

A small number of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' spies who were dismantling the printing press rushed to the bunker, controlled the key positions, took out their weapons and began to be alert. The others continued to be busy with their work, without any panic.

The Japanese Navy and Army intelligence personnel who were originally responsible for protecting the factory were stunned for a while before they realized it, dispersing in a mess, running around like a headless fly.

Nanmoto Mitaka was so angry that he was half-expected by his subordinates' poor performance that he shouted at a small spy: "Baga, go and see what happened, and the rest should hurry up and dismantle it."

Yamamoto also ordered his subordinates in a hurry. They were professional soldiers, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was mostly literati. It was embarrassing that this was beyond comparison!

Amid the scolding, the little spy who went out to inquire about the news came back to report the bad news.

"His Excellency Colonel, the road leading to Hongkou and Zhabei in the public concession exploded, and the specific information is unknown."

"Nani?"

Yamamoto was shocked when he heard this. He was really impressed by Hasegun. This must be the Chinese who were raiding the roads and trying to increase the difficulty of their transfer work.

Faced with this situation, Mitaka Namoto, who was a little undecided before, no longer hesitated and turned around and said seriously to Hasegur Ryosuke.

"Haguchi, then retreat according to the second route. I think you must have made corresponding arrangements at the goods station. Please give me everything. Yamamoto and I will obey your orders."

"Hayi, don't worry."

Hasegawa Ryosuke touched his heel, his head suddenly lowered and raised, and he solemnly replied: "My people have dispersed the staff of the cargo station and established multiple surveillance points within a radius of one kilometer.

There are few people there, and as long as the Chinese dare to appear, they will definitely be discovered. With the strength of our three parties, we may be able to teach each other a profound lesson. Please don’t worry about the train.

Although due to the war, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway has not yet been fully opened, I arranged a freight train to increase coal and boost the pressure through internal relations, and I can set off to Zhabei at any time."

It was indeed Hase, who had great supernatural powers, and Kumamoto sighed secretly.

After the Battle of Shanghai, the logistics department of the Shanghai dispatched troops implemented military control over the railways in Shanghai to deliver supplies to the front line.

These officials in charge of the lifeline of the logistics are not easy to talk to. The other party can actually open up the joints. No wonder General Doihara told him to pay attention to this person before he left.

While speaking, the heavy printing press was completely disassembled and loaded into the car. The three of them gave in to each other and walked out of the basement and came to two cars and a long truck.

"Yamamoto, Colonel Kumamoto and I are in the front car, and the seats are limited. We can only feel sorry for you to take the second car. I will send our most capable subordinates to protect your safety."

Hasegawa Ryosuke stood in the yard, pointing at a tall and fat Ministry agent with a face full of flesh, apologizing to Yamamoto.

Yamamoto didn't care either. He followed the other person's gesture and his eyes lit up. What a burly and strong man, he was a little ugly.

I immediately nodded with a smile, slowly got into the back of the second car, leaning comfortably on the seat and closing my eyes.

They had been nervous for so many days, fearing that the printing factory would be discovered, but now they have confirmed that the Chinese know about this, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

With the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you may be able to obtain advanced papermaking technology from European and American ghosts more quickly. Thinking about it, three-party cooperation is indeed a good thing.

On the other side, Hasegawa Ryosuke personally opened the car door for Mitaka Kumamoto, and the two got in the car one by one. Hasegawa Ryosuke immediately waved his right hand to order.

"Out of the road (on the road/depart)!"

"Hayi."

The driver in the driver's seat lowered his head and replied in a standard Kanto accent.
