Chapter 910 Madam, Let’s Stop Here
Shanghai, Consulate.
Li Xianshu had never felt that time would pass so slowly.
She has already changed several sheets of draft paper for the relationship diagram in her hand.
But just like before, Li Xianshu couldn't figure out where Chen Yang was?
Was he simply doing business with Shancheng, or was there something wrong with him?
At this time, Li Xianshu suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know Chen Yang very well.
Was it really a setup from the very beginning when we met?
Li Xianshu was unwilling to believe such a judgment. She tried hard to recall all the details of when she and Kuroda Yusuke met Chen Yang.
All the expressions, all the dialogues, and even every little detail when he spoke, ultimately led to one conclusion: that was not acting.
Moreover, Chen Yang did not know his identity at that time. The wariness, hesitation, and perfunctory answers he showed during the conversation, as a businessman who came from a peddler background, Li Xianshu could be sure that those expressions were real.
Unless, at that time he was clear about his identity and deliberately performed in front of him.
How is this possible...
With a long sigh, Li Xianshu felt as if she had reached a dead end. She could not use her past experience to reasonably explain Chen Yang's behavior.
Dong dong dong, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Matsushima Hisao rushed in in a hurry.
"Madam, it's bad. The witnesses sent from Jinling and Luo Bing in the interrogation room were taken away by Colonel Konan from the Special Agents Department of the Chinese Expeditionary Force."
Li Xianshu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Mr. Matsushima, what's going on? Why did the special forces suddenly come to the consulate to arrest people?"
Matsushima Hisao said with a bitter face: "Madam, I don't know what happened either."
"Colonel Konan has the dispatched army's order. Logically, we cannot disobey the military's orders."
"Besides, he said that if there is anything, Lord Terauchi will talk to you personally."
"What a joke." Li Xianshu was about to reach for the phone, but the phone rang first.
"Moshi Moshi, I'm Yamamoto Nami." Li Xianshu said, and suddenly his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll be there right away, Mr. Terauchi, see you later."
Matsushima Hisao looked at Li Xianshu's uncertain eyes and said, "Madam, is Lord Terauchi looking for you?"
Li Xianshu frowned and said, "Mr. Songdao, prepare the car and go to the expeditionary force headquarters."
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Commander's Office.
"Mr. Terauchi, I want to know why you do this?" Li Xianshu's tone made Mr. Terauchi a little dissatisfied.
"Mrs. Yamamoto, this is Chen Yang's letter of resignation." Commander Terauchi threw the white envelope in front of Li Xianshu.
"He has confessed everything. He has reached a cooperation with Shancheng regarding the sale of supplies."
"He decided to take full responsibility, ask for punishment, and resign as the Union Transport Minister,"
"But since the 11th Army is actively preparing to attack Changsha during this period, he is willing to go to the material warehouse as a dispatch officer to coordinate material matters."
"He also said that if the Empire still needs him, he is willing to be an ordinary material dispatch officer and no longer hold any position."
"Including positions appointed by Jinling."
"Ma'am, I have to say that he did this to save your face."
"He knows you are investigating him and doesn't want you to be embarrassed, so he decided to resign from all his positions to dispel your suspicion of him."
Li Xianshu was silent for a while after hearing this.
Chen Yang was actually willing to give up all his power and be content to be just a small dispatch officer.
Anyone who has tasted power knows that it is easy to take it but hard to put it down.
Did he do this for some other purpose? Li Xianshu didn't believe that Chen Yang would retreat so easily.
Commander Terauchi looked at Lee Hyun-sook and said, "Madam, I actually don't understand."
"What exactly are you doubting?"
"This time, Chen Gongshu's incident has little to do with him. Moreover, if he hadn't reacted quickly, Major General Peter would have certainly died. Can't you see that Shancheng is trying to sow discord?"
Li Xianshu took a breath and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I didn't suspect that Chen Gongshu's death was a plot to alienate him, but Chen Yang's performance also had some problems. Moreover, those who did the background check before also had some problems. I just want to find out the whole story."
"Is there a problem? What's the problem? Where is the problem? What evidence do you have?" Commander Terauchi asked several questions in a row.
Li Xianshu said slowly: "Mr. Terauchi, I can't give you a clear answer for the time being. I think I need some time to verify these things."
"Madam, there's no need to bother." Commander Terauchi said calmly, "All the witnesses related to Chen Yang's background check have been executed by the Secret Service ten minutes ago."
Li Xianshu was shocked: "What? Commander, why are you doing this?"
Commander Terauchi said calmly: "After Chen Yang put this resignation letter in my office, I received a call from His Excellency Nagaya, the commander of the Marine Corps."
"He was questioning me whether Minister Tan had been treated unfairly and he was resigning as Joint Transport Minister."
"If we can't come up with strong evidence, the Navy Department will complain to the mainland."
"Moreover, because of Minister Chen's incident, the other party has explicitly refused to cooperate with us in any evil ways, including the plan to jointly attack Southeast Asia after the establishment of the Southern Army."
Li Xianshu was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Why is this? The Navy Department will find it difficult to make progress without our support."
Commander Terauchi said coldly, "I'll tell you why. Minister Chen just delivered 600,000 barrels of crude oil, a total of 20 million US dollars in compensation from Shell, to the Navy's warehouse in Taiwan."
"Besides, he is negotiating with the Soviet Union about the remaining two million tons of oil."
"He is the greatest contributor to the Navy. If we still screen him based on suspicion without any evidence, the people in the Navy Department will not be polite to us."
"Now they are just refusing to cooperate. If Minister Chen really stays in the material warehouse as a dispatcher, what do you think the Navy Department's reaction will be?"
Li Xianshu's face turned stern, and he said coldly: "So, Commander, you have compromised."
"Compromise, so what?" Commander Terauchi smiled.
"There have been so many treacherous ministers in Chinese history."
"You read a lot of books, don't you?"
"Do you think ancient people were dumber than you?"
"Qin Yu was a traitor, didn't Emperor Gaozong of Song know that? Yan Song was a traitor, didn't Emperor Jiajing know that? Heshen's greed was known to the world, didn't Emperor Qianlong know that?"
"They all know it, but why are these treacherous officials still able to live freely?"
“That’s because they are useful.”
"It's the same with Minister Chen. He can get resources that the Empire can't, and he can get intelligence that the Empire can't."
"All officials of the Imperial Logistics Department are on his network. If he withdraws, who will be in charge of that network? You or me? Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
"The Empire is stuck in the quagmire of China's war, and we can't let anything go wrong at this time."
"So, ma'am, that's enough..."
Haha, you are actually afraid that the author will mess up his writing. You are underestimating the author too much. I still hope that you can have a higher vision and not get stuck in the mindset of small-time spy wars.
We are talking about politics. Don't say there is no evidence. Even if there is evidence, what's the use? Only small people will talk about evidence, while big people will only talk about pros and cons.
