"Ping Chongjun, I am naturally very willing to believe in your kindness and friendship." Cheng Qianfan looked at Ping Chongyang, carefully considered his words, and said with a sincere expression, "If it were for other things, I would have agreed.
but……"
"But what?" Ping Chongyang asked with a smile without being anxious.
"To be honest, Jiujiu Trading currently has a very large food gap." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "This is a military supply agreement reached between me and Wang Quanhai's regime. You know my identity. If you can take the opportunity to negotiate with Wang Quanhai,
Achieving good cooperation with the military of the Wang Hai regime is crucial for the empire to obtain intelligence from within the Wang family and even strengthen its control over the military of the Wang Hai regime."
"In this case, Miyazaki-kun should not refuse my help." Ping Chongyang said, "In other words, what are you worried about?"
"Then I'll be honest." Cheng Qianfan said, "I need a lot of food supplies, and I'm afraid the food supplies Pingzhong Jun has cannot meet my requirements."
He said with a solemn expression, "My partner Peter is the Frenchman from the Political Division of the patrol house. He is already trying his best to contact the relevant sources of goods."
"Hahaha." Ping Chongyang once understood what Kentaro White Housezaki was worried about, and instead he laughed, "Miyazaki-kun, if this is what you are worried about, then you are worrying too much."
He smiled and said, "I can provide you with as much food as Miyazaki-kun needs."
"Mr. Pingzhong, are you serious about this?" Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed at first, and then showed hesitation.
"No joke."
"Excellent." Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for Ping Chongyang, "Ping Chongyang has done me a great favor."
…
"Miyazaki-kun, please help me. As for the price of this food..."
"Fifty yuan for a bag of rice." Cheng Qianfan said immediately.
"Miyazaki-kun, I regard you as a friend, but you are dishonest." Ping Chongyang shook his head, "I have inquired, and the current market price of rice is seventy-three yuan."
Cheng Qianfan showed an expression of astonishment, then felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "Ping Zhongjun, the market price of high-quality rice you mentioned is that the soldiers of the Wang Reclamation regime have low combat effectiveness and do not deserve to enjoy such good rice."
"What do you mean, Miyazaki-kun?"
Cheng Qianfan chuckled lightly, "Since it is rice, it is inevitable that there will be some gravel, yellow sand and the like mixed in it."
Ping Chongyang burst out laughing, "Sixty yuan, one price."
"Deal." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and nodded.
After reaching an agreement, the two clinked glasses to celebrate.
"Pingzhong-kun is such a help in times of need." Cheng Qianfan said happily, "I am so happy to be able to meet a friend like Pingzhong-kun."
He handed a cigarette to Ping Chongyang, "It's a pity that Mr. Ping Chongyang has something to do here and will return to the front line in northern Hubei."
"Miyazaki-kun seems to have heard something?" Ping Chongyang looked at Kentaro Miyazaki deeply.
"Ping Chongjun, don't be suspicious." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "The Chang Kaishen regime in Chongqing relies on the defense line in northern Hubei to block the advance of the locust army. The empire has long been interested in taking Yichang and other places to force the Chang Kaishen regime to surrender..."
As he spoke, he looked into Ping Chongyang's eyes and said with a wry smile, "The teacher often teaches me classes and even assigns topics to me."
He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "Concerning the confrontation between the Empire and Chang Kaishen's regime in northern Hubei, and how the Empire opened up the situation, I often receive homework inspections from teachers."
"Counsellor Imamura is indeed a good teacher." Ping Chongyang burst into laughter.
He still believed in Miyazaki Kentaro's words, which was consistent with what he knew about Imamura Hyoutarou's character.
…
"The so-called return of the capital to Nanjing by the Wang Reclamation regime is imminent, and this batch of food is very urgent." Cheng Qianfan said, "I hope Ping Zhongjun can speed up the process."
"Don't worry, Mr. Miyazaki, this batch of food will be delivered to Shanghai before the end of the month." Ping Chongyang nodded and said.
"I only recognize you personally for this batch of goods, Mr. Pingzhong." Cheng Qianfan suddenly said.
"Hahaha!" Ping Chongyang burst into laughter, "Okay, I will personally come to hand over to Miyazaki-kun then."
"That way, I feel relieved." Cheng Qianfan said happily.
…
It was at this time that I heard faint explosions coming one after another, as well as fierce gunshots.
"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "The Chinese army counterattacked in Shanghai?"
As he said this, he shook his head, "It's unlikely. In addition to the small so-called New Fourth Army of the Red Party active around Shanghai, it's also the so-called Loyalty and National Salvation Army in Chongqing."
He frowned and said, "The Red Party's New Fourth Army has poor equipment and insufficient troops. They dare not come to Shanghai. The loyal and national salvation army is now surrounded and suppressed by the locust army and is only left to survive."
"Judging from the sound, does Miyazaki-kun know where the fighting happened?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"It should be in the direction of Pukou Road." Cheng Qianfan stood at the window and looked over, thinking for a while and said.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
"What did Miyazaki-kun think of?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"Major General Seiichiro Toda, the commander of the new fifth brigade of the Locust Army, is hosting a birthday banquet at Pukou Hotel today," Cheng Qianfan said.
"So, anti-Japanese elements attacked Major General Toda's birthday party?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"It's possible." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Pingzhong-kun, sit down for a moment while I go make a call."
"Miyazaki-kun, please help yourself."
…
After a while, Cheng Qianfan came back.
"Our guess should be correct," Cheng Qianfan said. "The patrol room also received relevant intelligence that the Pukou Hotel on Pukou Road was attacked by thugs."
"Ping Zhongjun, the matter is serious. I need to go back to the patrol room first, and then go to the special high school class. I'm sorry to accompany you." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"Miyazaki-kun, do it yourself."
"Mr. Pingzhong, judging from the sound of explosions and gunshots, the fighting in the direction of Pukou Road is quite fierce." Cheng Qianfan said, "For safety reasons, Mr. Pingzhong, please rest temporarily in the French Concession tonight. I will help you arrange accommodation.
.”
"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you." Ping Chongyang nodded slightly.
Cheng Qianfan shouted, and Li Hao knocked on the door and came in.
"Haozi, I want to go back to the patrol room. You can help Mr. Pingzhong arrange a place to stay." Cheng Qianfan ordered, "Let's just go to Xiafei Road. It's convenient."
"clear."
…
Pukou Road.
The sound of gunfire has stopped.
Japanese tanks appeared on the road, and a large number of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition were searching the streets.
Two military trucks, flanked by several cars, roared over and stopped outside the Pukou Hotel.
Junichiro Ikeuchi got out of the car with a gloomy expression.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Umezu Sagami walked out of Uguchi Hotel and trotted to Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"What's going on inside?" Junichiro Ikeuchi asked.
"It's terrible." Umezu Sagami said this word with a serious expression.
