Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 517: The King of the South without Troops or Power

Yoshisaburo Yamamoto took the telegram from Hisasaku Furukawa, read it carefully, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Ms. Junko, please send the dispatch list to the General Affairs Office first."

A hint of displeasure appeared on Junko Ikegami's face, but she didn't dare to refute at this time. She bowed to the two of them and left the office.

"Mr. Furukawa, when did you receive this telegram?" Seeing Junko Ikegami leaving, Yoshisaburo Yamamoto quickly stood up and asked.

Furukawa Hisasaku replied respectfully: "Section Chief, I received it an hour ago."

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo nodded slightly and said, "Before we came to China, the business department of the Black Dragon Society speculated that once the cabinet of Mine took office, the materials of the Army Department would definitely be affected. However, we didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Yoshikawa Hisasaku said seriously: "Your father has already made a plan to exchange the four ports for 136 retail outlets."

"We urgently need you to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and the Manchuria Railway in terms of materials."

"Now, the position of Director Kawada belongs to Chen Yang. You must be one step ahead and sign an agreement with President Omura before him."

“Otherwise, I’m afraid you will lose the qualification to compete with Chen Yang.”

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's face hardened and he said, "I have already thought of this, so I need a reasonable reason to master the vertical character class."

"Chen Yang started out by selling supplies. If he eventually fails in the field he is best at, I believe everyone will be very disappointed in him."

"And now is indeed a good opportunity. You should contact Chairman Shimazu immediately and recall Director Akutagawa back to the mainland according to our previous agreement."

"Without the support of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, I want to see how Chen Yang will deal with the shortage of supplies this time."

"When the time comes, with the Black Dragon Society joining forces with the Manchuria Railway, General Nishio will surely see who is more suitable to control the transportation network."

"Hi..." Yoshikawa Hisasaku saluted excitedly...

Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

"Mr. Nishio, you are looking for me." When Nakanishi Gong received the summons from Nishio, he immediately put everything aside and came for the meeting.

"Mr. Nakanishi, please take a seat." General Nishio said politely.

"Regarding the case of the supply truck being robbed by the Red Party, how is the investigation going now?"

Gong Zhongxi was stunned. It had only been two days since this incident happened, and General Nishio was asking about it now. Wasn't he being a little impatient?

"Mr. Nishio, we are still compiling the investigation report and cannot determine where the problem lies."

"Of course, based on the intelligence we have collected so far, it is very likely that the Vertical Characters Department's lax management has led to the leakage of material information."

"Mr. Nakanishi means leaking secrets?" General Nishio asked calmly.

"We don't rule out this possibility, but there is no definite evidence to support it at the moment, so we are just speculating." Zhong Xigong replied respectfully.

"If there is no solid evidence, then just treat it as a misunderstanding."

General Nishio sighed and said, "Please settle the case as soon as possible."

Zhong Xigong was slightly startled and asked: "Mr. Nishio, what happened?"

Zhong Xigong is not stupid. Yes, he knows that General Xiwei has also received benefits from Chen Yang.

However, leaking secrets can be a big deal or a small one, and the target of the leak was the Red Party, which was already crossing the line. General Nishio tried to use a misunderstanding to exonerate Chen Yang, but it was obviously not enough to just rely on a small benefit.

It must be that Xiwei encountered some difficulties and wanted Chen Yang to help.

General Nishio sighed, took out a telegram and handed it to Nakanishi Gong, saying, "This is the telegram just sent from the mainland."

"Mr. Minay has requested that the Army Department's expenditures in China be reduced, and that the disbursement be delayed."

"The war in China is still escalating. At this time, we need enough supplies."

Having said that, General Nishio sighed deeply again.

Chen Yang’s current significance to the empire is like the status of the Kong family in the mountain city.

Nishio was counting on him to help the expeditionary force solve its current material problems, so he could naturally turn a blind eye to a small leak.

Nakanishi Gong hesitated and said, "Mr. Nishio, it is not in accordance with the rules for you to do this."

General Nishio frowned and said, "What are the rules and regulations, Nakanishi-kun, I don't believe you can't see it."

"Chen Yang did this just to seduce Yamamoto Yoshisaburo."

"I just want to show off my skills. In China, I can make you, Mr. Yamamoto, unable to move at any time."

"To put it bluntly, this is an internal fight within the Black Dragon Society. It doesn't involve any bottom line issues at all."

"It's just that the Red Party has gained some small benefits. There's no need for us to make a big fuss and embarrass them."

"Besides, you also know that Chen Yang is in charge of transportation. He has no soldiers or power, and he poses no threat to the empire."

"Besides, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo has already restocked the supplies, and he won't pursue the matter, so why are you going through so much trouble?"

Zhong Xigong touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiwei, do you really think that Chen Yang is not a threat to the empire?"

"Do you know that his current status is on the same level as Zhang Zuolin, the former King of Northeast China?"

"Those people in the logistics department jokingly called him the King of the South who had no soldiers and no power."

"If it were in ancient China, he would at least be given a title like King of Pingnan or King of Zhennan."

"You still think he's not a threat?"

General Xiwei laughed and said, "That's just a joke from the subordinates. Chen Yang has no power over the army, nor does he have the power to influence the war."

"Everything he does is to improve the efficiency of the empire. As for the title of King of Zhennan, it's just something everyone calls him for fun."

"But, having said that, we do need him to contribute."

"You have to know that the intensity of the offensive on the Chinese battlefield this time has far exceeded our expectations."

"Okabe Naosaburo's troops were trapped near Wuyuan City by Fu Zuoyi's troops and were constantly harassed by the enemy, and they could not find the real main force."

"Commander Gangcun is unable to take care of himself, and it is not easy for him to hold out against the siege of several major battle zones."

"Southern Guangxi is also caught in a tough battle, and all supplies are being consumed at an alarming rate."

"If there are problems with the supply of materials at this time, it will affect the morale of the troops."

Zhong Xigong stood up, closed the file and said, "Okay, although I don't agree with your decision, I respect your choice."

"I will resolve this case in a reasonable manner."

"However, Lord Nishio, I think you still need to warn Chen Yang not to go too far."

"He dares to cross any line. One day he will cause public outrage."

"By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress it even with your prestige..."
