Chapter 754 No Matter the Cost

Shanghai, Hongqiao North Road, Marine Corps Headquarters.

The location of the joint navy-land meeting was not at the expeditionary force headquarters, but at the Marine Corps Headquarters on Hongqiao North Road.

Chen Yang arrived at the meeting room of the Marine Corps Command earlier than the agreed time.

At this time, the venue was also full of people.

The conference room must have been specially arranged, with a long table dividing the sea and land camps into two factions.

The Army sat on the left, with the Navy sitting opposite.

The time pointed to nine o'clock, and the participants in the conference room arrived at the venue one after another.

Since the main character of this meeting was the admiral of the Navy, the expeditionary force had no plans to send any important figures to attend.

The expeditionary force headquarters also only sent Mitsuhiro Abe from the General Staff and Major General Nakamura from the War Command Department.

Colonel Nobuo Takeda of the Special Service Department sat at the back with a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Of course, it was not only the people from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters who received the order, but also Lieutenant General Watanabe, commander of the 16th Division participating in the coastal blockade, Lieutenant General Shino, commander of the 22nd Division, Lieutenant General Sawa, commander of the 33rd Division participating in the attack on Nanchang, and Major General Takada, commander of the 20th Mixed Brigade.

In addition, there are Major General Fujita of the Peace and National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Ishikawa, the commander of the Shanghai Garrison, Major General Nagashima of the Shanghai Security Command, Major General Sato of the Logistics Department, and Major General Nakano sent by the Military Police Command...

The number of people participating from the Navy Department was much larger than that from the Army. Hase Aokawa, who had just been promoted to admiral, and several fleet commanders under the Navy Department were all present at the meeting.

Judging from the momentum alone, the Navy Department can obviously dominate the Army Department at home.

At ten minutes past nine, footsteps were heard outside the meeting room.

The orderly at the door shouted, "Stand at attention."

Everyone present stood up, straightened their backs, and lowered their eyes.

A group of military guidance group members dressed in officer uniforms filed in. Their leader, Lord Dajiao, walked to the head of the long conference table, stretched out his hands around him, and pressed them down slightly.

"sit down."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat down in their seats in unison.

In fact, the basic routines of this kind of meetings are very similar.

First, they affirmed the series of victories achieved by the navy and the army in China, and then they began to make all kinds of big promises.

Strive to complete the occupation of a certain place within a certain time, and then expand the territory to a certain extent.

The topic that they talked about was still the same old one, which was to find the main force of Shancheng as soon as possible, defeat the enemy, and force Shancheng to sign a surrender agreement.

This has been discussed since the year before last. After more than two years, the Chinese battlefield remains the same.

It cannot be said that there is no breakthrough, but it is just a back-and-forth tug-of-war.

The Shancheng side is not so stupid as to want to find the main force and fight a decisive battle with it.

Their current strategic deployment is to delay until the Japanese can no longer bear it.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. After it ended, people from the Army Department slowly walked out of the venue.

As Chen Yang followed everyone out of the conference room, an officer seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time: "Are you Mr. Chen from the Joint Transportation Department?"

"Hello, I am Harada Kazuichiro, Lord Ohkaku's personal secretary."

"Lord Dajiao would like to speak to you alone for a few minutes. Please follow me."

Office on the second floor of the Marine Corps Command.

Harada Kazuichiro took Chen Yang to the office and asked him to wait inside for a while, as Lord Okaku would be here soon.

Chen Yang did not refuse. He stood in the middle of the office, quietly waiting for Lord Dajiao to arrive.

About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard and an old man in a navy admiral's uniform appeared in front of the office door.

"Mr. Chen, sorry to have kept you waiting." Lord Dajiao was quite polite.

Chen Yang said quickly: "No, no, shouting Your Excellency is busy, I should wait for you."

Lord Okaku looked at Chen Yang for a few times, and suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you don't have to be so polite. Mr. Fujiwara and I are also good friends. Hanako even called me uncle when she was a child."

"We are one family after all. Please take a seat."

Oh, after going around in circles, it turns out that they are all one of us.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang bowed slightly to Lord Dajiao and then sat down opposite him.

Lord Okaku didn't say much politely, and said directly: "Mr. Chen, I heard from Mr. Fujiwara that you have a lot of ideas in Shanghai. I wonder if the higher-ups have given you the task of finding oil?"

Chen Yang seemed to have been prepared. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, handed them to the other party with both hands and said, "Mr. Da Jiao, oil is not a commodity."

"Moreover, the amount the Navy needs is too large. Even if the other party has sufficient supply, the transportation, storage, and trading of such a large amount of oil cannot be accomplished casually."

"I can only withdraw the share of the East China Refinery and supply it to the Navy Department for use."

"Otherwise, I think I need some time to wait for the other party's reply."

Lord Dajiao flipped through the oil procurement plan handed over by Chen Yang, and it took him more than ten minutes to finish reading it.

"Mr. Chen, there is nothing wrong with the plan, but can you speed up the process?"

"The local demand for oil is very high, and the oil you have won't last long."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Please rest assured, I will urge the other party to reply as soon as possible."

Lord Dajiao seemed very satisfied with Chen Yang's attitude and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Chen for this matter."

"I won't be in Shanghai for too long. Tomorrow, I will meet with Mayor Zhou and others. Three days later, I will leave for Guangzhou for an inspection."

"If you encounter any difficulties here, you can consult General Hase for coordination."

"In short, the oil issue must not be delayed."

Chen Yang stood up and said, "Hey, I will do my best to complete it, Mr. Da Jiao, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Farewell."

Lord Dajiao stood up and said, "Slow down..."

Shancheng, Hunan Guild Hall, Military Control Commission Office.

Zheng Jiemin was holding the message sent back by Song Jiayu via the secret radio, and his hands were shaking like someone with Parkinson's disease.

After closing the office door, Zheng Jiemin swallowed his saliva and said excitedly, "Director, Director, there is important information."

"What important information? Yaoquan, there seems to be something wrong with your expression." Boss Dai took the information from Zheng Jiemin's hand, his eyes bulged instantly, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Admiral of the Navy, important minister in front of the emperor, such a high position?"

"Quick, send a telegram to Lin Hansheng at the Guangzhou Station and ask him to notify all aircraft observation posts in Guangzhou to closely monitor the aircraft in the sky over Guangzhou in the near future."

"If it's really as the intelligence says, no matter how much it costs, we must take it down for me."

"Yes..."

Three chapters are finished. Thank you for your support. The author never expected that many people would understand his complaints. Don't worry, as long as they don't go to the black room, the author will try his best to end the story perfectly. It should be about halfway done now...

By the way, the operation of the barbed wire is really good. The ending can be divided into domestic and foreign chapters. The author feels deeply inspired. I will also write a foreign chapter later...
