Cheng Qianfan has always insisted on a point of view: latent work is a long-term and meticulous work, and intelligence work is by no means accomplished overnight. It is also the harvest of long-term and meticulous work.
Regarding Dai Chunfeng's order to obtain information about Gangcun and the Japanese Eleventh Army, Cheng Qianfan's attitude was very clear. He would do his best, but he could never force it.
The mission was extremely difficult to complete, and Cheng Qianfan was prepared that he would not be able to start the mission and would have to give up as a last resort.
However, he will not give up the opportunity to get to know Ping Chongyang. Maybe the 'friendship' he carefully cultivated today will not be used this time, but will be harvested one day in the future.
The gendarmerie fire case is obviously a good topic.
Even Sakamoto Yoshino was somewhat interested in participating in the topic.
"A big rat, a big rat, has nothing to eat from me! A three-year-old girl, I am not willing to take care of her. She is about to die, she is suitable for this paradise. Paradise, paradise, love is my place." Sakamoto Yoshino sighed, "These people are lying.
The giant rats that steal food from the empire are truly abominable.”
Ping Chongyang glanced at Sakamoto Yoshino and smiled faintly, "Sakamoto-kun is still the same as when he was in school."
Sakamoto Yoshino frowned. He knew Ping Chongyang. Although Ping Chongyang's words seemed to be nothing, he understood the irony in them.
"Only a shady guy would make insinuations." Sakamoto Yoshino said, "A person with an open heart would never speak like that."
…
Kawada Atsuto looked on with a smile and had no intention of stopping him.
Onodera Shogo smiled bitterly and asked Kentaro Miyazaki for help.
"Onodera-kun." Cheng Qianfan said.
When Cheng Qianfan saw that the two were about to quarrel again, he quickly changed the topic.
"Is there something wrong with Cheng Sang?" Onodera Shogo nodded, "It doesn't matter if you tell me."
"There is a fire in the T-shaped warehouse. I heard that Commander Chiuchi has ordered an inventory of other warehouses." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's true." Onodera Shogo nodded, "However, the order to inspect the warehouse has only been issued, but it has not yet been implemented into action."
Hearing what Onodera Shogo said, Cheng Qianfan's face showed a hint of joy, and he said, "As far as I know, there are some illegal materials seized by the empire in the warehouse."
As he said that, he looked at Onodera Shogo, "What are the military police going to do with these supplies?"
"Most of the illegal materials seized are grain, cloth, kerosene, salt and other daily necessities." Onodera Shogo said thoughtfully, "Cheng Sang means to redeem it?"
"To be honest," Cheng Qianfan said, "Jiujiu Trading has redeemed supplies from the Military Police before."
He smiled slightly and said, "Of course, all redemption procedures are legal. Jiujiu Trading has always adhered to the policy of solving difficulties for the Empire of Japan and cooperated fully with the Empire of Japan."
…
Kawada Atsuto glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki, and although he was surprised that Kentaro Miyazaki disclosed these "secret transactions" at this time, after thinking about it for a moment, he had to admire Kentaro Miyazaki.
Jiujiu Trading purchased seized materials from the Gendarmerie at low prices. Although this kind of thing is done covertly, it will leave more or less clues. The Gendarmerie Headquarters is currently conducting an internal investigation. It is difficult to say whether they will find some traces.
What.
Now, Kentaro Miyazaki has spoken out. The most important thing is to emphasize that all redemption procedures are legal and compliant. This kind of honesty will not cause trouble, but is a clever move.
All it takes is a little cooperation from Kenjiro Kitani and a small amount of redemption documents to successfully overcome this verification crisis.
"I see." Onodera Shogo nodded, "If it were a normal time, the Military Police would naturally consider and welcome Cheng Sang's request for cooperation. However, in these extraordinary times, the Commander may not allow the sale of seized materials.
of."
"That's it." Cheng Qianfan frowned, showing a worried expression.
"What kind of trouble has Cheng Sang encountered?" Onodera Shogo asked.
"To be honest, Nanjing ordered a batch of grain from Jiujiu Trading." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Now there are a lot of gaps."
"Nanjing?" Onodera Shogo asked.
"Mr. Wang's new regime is about to be established. This can be said to be a celebration. In order to stabilize the people's support, the new regime intends to distribute food, cloth and other daily necessities to the civil servants of the new regime." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "Jiujiu Trading has obtained a batch of
Order."
As he said that, he looked at Atsuto Kawada and said, "The other party's bid is not low, and the transaction is done directly in Japanese yen."
"Japanese yen transaction?" Atsushi Kawada frowned slightly, "Is it the funds provided by the empire to the Wang Reclamation regime?"
"That should be the case." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, chuckled, and emphasized, "The price given by Mr. Wang is 40% higher than the market price."
"Mr. Cheng is not telling the truth." Sakamoto Yoshino suddenly said, "The actual price must be much higher than the market price."
"Those things don't matter." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "What matters is how much we can eat."
Sakamoto Yoshino sneered and said, "The empire cut back on food and clothing, and the funds from the province were given to the Wang Reclamation regime, but it became their gluttonous feast."
"Sakamoto-kun, you are in trouble." Kawada Atsuhito said, "You must have a pattern."
He chuckled and said, "Only with this kind of Wang reclamation regime will the empire feel at ease."
"As expected of Young Master Atsuhito." Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up to Kawada Atsuhito, "If it were a Wang Reclamation regime that was politically clear and worked hard to govern, the Empire of Japan would be even more afraid of it."
"Shouldn't Cheng Sang stand with Wang's reclamation regime and worry about the stability and development of Wang's regime?" Ping Chongyang took a sip of his drink and looked at Cheng Qianfan with a scrutinizing gaze.
"No, no, no, Lieutenant Commander Heishige is wrong." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I am closer to the Empire of Japan."
Ping Chongyang frowned and stared at Cheng Qianfan, as if he was thinking about how sincere these words were.
Kawada Atsuhito, Sakamoto Yoshino and Onodera Shogo all laughed.
…
"Cheng Sang is right." Onodera Shogo said to Taira Shige, "please rest assured, Taira Shige, Cheng Sang is a true friend of the Empire of Japan."
Cheng Qianfan also laughed and added, "Of course, I love money."
Ping Chongyang took a deep look at Cheng Qianfan and nodded.
That's right, Cheng Qianfan is like the Chinese people he knows who have taken refuge in the empire, because the empire can protect their safety, and these people can also rely on the empire to gain more money and benefits.
He looked at Cheng Qianfan and suddenly raised his glass, "I want to believe in Cheng Sang's loyalty to the empire."
Cheng Qianfan stood up quickly, raised his glass to Ping Chongyang, and said, "To the friendship between China and Japan, and to the long-term military development of the Empire of Japan."
Several people raised their glasses.
Cheng Qianfan drank sake and secretly looked at Ping Chongyang. The topic just mentioned was brought up by him on purpose, just to attract Ping Chongyang.
As for whether Ping Chongyang Yi is as expected and whether he will take the bait.
It is not known yet.
The bait has been thrown out, all he can do is wait, and he must not take any more proactive actions.
"That's fine." Cheng Qianfan nodded and waved towards Sakamoto Yoshino and Kawada Atsuhito.
"Taira Shige-kun." Onodera Shogo walked to Taira Shigeyoichi who was talking to Miyazaki Kentaro, "Shall we go back together?"
"Onodera-kun, if you have anything to do, go back first. I have something to talk to Cheng Sang," Ping Chongyang said.
"Okay." Onodera Shogo nodded slightly.
He was not surprised at all by the arrogant Ping Chongyang's sudden change of attitude towards 'Cheng Qianfan'.
Ping Chongyang seems to be arrogant, but in fact he has a character that is accustomed to flattering those who are superior and suppressing those who are inferior. He is especially keen to enter the circle of imperial aristocrats. Young Master Duren obviously has a tepid attitude towards Ping Chongyang. In this case, he gets
Miyazaki-kun, whom Master Atsuhito valued, naturally fell in love with Taira Chongyouichi.
"Cheng Sang." Ping Chongyang said to Cheng Qianfan, "Let's talk while walking."
"Please." Cheng Qianfan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
The two were walking on Huangpu Road at around nine o'clock in the evening. Behind them, six bodyguards followed closely, and behind these six people, three cars followed at a fast pace.
…
"Cheng Sang's men are very responsible." Ping Chongyang turned his head and looked at it, and said calmly.
"There is nothing we can do. We have too many enemies." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly, "Commander Pingzhong, please forgive me."
"Someone dares to harm Cheng Sang!" Ping Chongyang's expression darkened, "Is it because Cheng Sang is close to the empire?"
Cheng Qianfan also didn't expect Ping Chongyang to speak so directly. He was slightly stunned, and then said, "There may be anti-Japanese elements who hate the Japanese Empire, and there are also some enemies."
He chuckled and said, "These enemies also have people who show allegiance to the Japanese Empire."
Ping Chongyang smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect Cheng Qianfan to speak so directly. This made the words he had planned to win over and get close to suddenly become inappropriate.
"Does Cheng Sang always talk like this?" Ping Chongyang suddenly smiled and said, "I originally planned to say that with the empire as Cheng Sang's backer, if necessary, we can help Cheng Sang teach those enemies a lesson."
Cheng Qianfan stopped. He looked Ping Chongyang up and down, then shook his head, "My mortal enemy is not easy to mess with."
"With Cheng Sang's energy, since Cheng Sang said he was not easy to mess with, it seems that he is really not easy to mess with." Ping Chongyang nodded.
Then he looked at Cheng Qianfan's astonished expression through the light of the street lamp and smiled.
Want to play hard to get?
He just doesn't play his cards according to the routine.
A few minutes later, a black car with a plaster flag on the front drove over from the opposite direction.
Cheng Qianfan's men immediately stepped forward quickly and guarded him.
"The car is here to pick me up." Ping Chongyang said, and he glanced at Cheng Qianfan in surprise, "Cheng Sang is so nervous when he sees that the car is flying the imperial flag?"
"There is no other way." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and said, "The enemies, especially those anti-Japanese elements, are very cunning and difficult to guard against."
Ping Chongyang nodded noncommittally.
The vehicle stopped about ten meters away from the two people. A driver wearing a Japanese military uniform got out of the car, stepped forward and saluted Ping Chongyang, "Lieutenant Colonel."
"It was a pleasure chatting with Cheng Sang." Ping Chongyang shook hands with Cheng Qianfan.
"It's my honor." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, bowing slightly.
As soon as Ping Chongyang got into the car, the car turned around and continued driving. He turned around and saw Cheng Qianfan still standing there, waving goodbye to him.
An inexplicable smile appeared on Ping Chongyang's lips.
…
"Matsuzaki." Ping Chongyang said, "How much do you know about Cheng Qianfan?"
"I know something." Matsuzaki Tomoyuki said, "Cheng Qianfan has a great influence in Shanghai, especially in the French Concession."
"You mean, it has great influence?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"Yes." Matsuzaki Tomoyuki nodded.
"Tell me about this person." Ping Chongyang said, "What do you know and what do you say."
"Hai." Matsuzaki Tomoyuki nodded.
…
On the other side, Cheng Qianfan also got into the car. His car was driven on Huangpu Road in the night, protected by two escort vehicles at the front and rear.
"Brother Fan, who is that Japanese?" Hao Zai asked.
"He is Ping Chongyang." Cheng Qianfan said, "The nephew of the commander of the Japanese 39th Division, Ping Chongyang Nobuki."
"Ping Zhongxinqi's nephew?" Hao Zai looked a little excited, "Do you want to get rid of him?"
"This man cannot be moved." Cheng Qianfan shook his head gently, "The commander of the Japanese Tenth Army, Gangcun, came to Shanghai. Ping Chongyang came to Shanghai a few days ago to stand in front of Gangcun."
"Gangcun?" Hao Zai was even more surprised, "Then our target this time is Gangcun?"
Brother Fan has ordered the deployment of capable personnel from the Special Situation Division to enter Shanghai. It seems that there is a big operation.
Hao Zi and Hao Zi had discussed this matter privately and the possible goals of this operation.
The two of them felt that it was the Japanese Prince Fushimi who was killed by Brother Fan last time. This time he deserved Brother Fan's attention and mobilized manpower with great fanfare. The identity of the target must also be extraordinary.
"The target is kept secret for the time being." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. He glanced at Hao Zai and said, "Don't make wild guesses. I will tell everyone before taking action."
"Yes." Hao Zai nodded, but he was more inclined to think that the target this time was probably Gangcun.
Cheng Qianfan closed his eyes and rested his mind.
He originally thought that when Ping Chongyang was talking to him alone just now, the bait he had thrown before was successful and the fish was about to take the bait.
However, the conversation that Ping Chongyang had with him for seven or eight minutes was just a polite chat, or more like a verbal test, and no practical topics were discussed.
Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
He was thinking, was this because Ping Chongyang was too cautious and was not reassured, so he was testing; or was it because he was overthinking, and his arrangements and words did not arouse Ping Chongyang's interest?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, he was confident in his intuition:
His intuition told him that when Ping Chongyang said those words, his mood fluctuated and he was tempted.
