Chapter 497 Total Blockade
"Mr. Leo, I wonder if you have brought the design drawings we want?" Chen Yang asked the question directly without any further ado.
"Mr. Chen, trading here?" Leo was a little embarrassed.
"I have brought the design, but it is not with me. We have some conditions to discuss with you."
Leo's words surprised Chen Yang. Hadn't they already agreed on the terms before? What terms did he want to discuss at this time?
Could it be that Germany is going to go back on its word?
"I wonder what conditions Mr. Leo mentioned?" Chen Yang asked curiously.
Leo glanced at Tiger, looking a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Tiger quickly stood up and said, “Mr. Chen, Mr. Leo, I’ll go out for a walk first.”
After saying that, Tiger turned and walked out of the office.
After the office door was closed, Leo slowly said, "We want a piece of information about the British that was taken away by the Japanese."
"It's information about the latest ship radar."
Chen Yang was stunned. He had never heard of this matter.
"What information? I really don't know." Chen Yang's answer was also within Leo's expectations.
"As early as 1935, a British laboratory had already begun researching new shipborne radars."
"Last July, the laboratory made the latest progress and successfully manufactured a new model of radar."
"However, the experimental data and information were stolen on the third day after the success."
Chen Yang frowned and said, "Mr. Leo, what do you say have to do with us?"
"Oh, there's no point in pretending when it comes to this."
Leo shrugged and said, "It took the CIA more than three months to find out that the Japanese Army and the Black Dragon Society had jointly launched a 'High Heels Project'."
"They sent a woman named Yulia to seduce Mr. Kandal, the head of the laboratory, and successfully stole all the data and experimental materials about the new radar."
"Mr. Chen, you don't think I'm like Feldman and think you're just an ordinary transportation officer, do you?"
When Chen Yang heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
Only then did he understand why Yoshisaburo Yamamoto was so confident and came from Japan to deal with him.
It turned out that they had been in collusion with the Army Department for a long time.
Now, the Japanese mainland is actually controlled by the Ministry of Army. We will naturally feel confident if we help the Ministry of Army.
This is what Nishio said. I don’t know what kind of imperial sword he got, but he must have received secret instructions from someone.
"Mr. Leo, do you want to exchange these materials for submarine design drawings?" Chen Yang asked calmly.
"It's just one of them. There are some other things you can take a look at first to see if there are any problems." Leo took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Chen Yang.
"If Mr. Chen doesn't understand, I can translate it for you." Leo couldn't help but say something when he saw Chen Yang frowning.
Chen Yang raised his head and said, "That's not necessary. I understand it, but I can't make the decision."
"Well, give me some time. I need to consult with the senior officers of the dispatched army. I will inform you when I have any news."
Leo obviously knew that the Japanese side also needed to consider these conditions, so he stood up and said, "No problem, Mr. Chen, Mr. Tiger and I will stay at the German Hotel."
"If there is any definite news, please inform us as soon as possible."
After saying that, Leo turned and left the office, calling on Tiger, who was wandering in the corridor, to leave with him.
There was no significant progress in the first meeting, which was within the expectations of both parties. After all, neither side had revealed their cards, and the negotiations could not be completed overnight.
Chen Yang politely saw the two off and just as he returned to the office, he saw Dongye Damu rushing in in a hurry.
"Section Chief, something bad has happened to the supply truck."
Chen Yang raised his hand and said, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"
Dongye Daimu took a breath and said, "The route to Guangzhou is blocked by the troops of Zhang Fakui from the Fourth War Zone and Xue Boling from the Ninth War Zone."
“This truckload of supplies was stolen by them.”
"What? Why is it so sudden?" Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, but in his heart he couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.
Supplies transported to Guangzhou need to pass through Changsha, Hengyang, and then all the way to Liuzhou and directly to Nanning.
The other route leads to Guangzhou and Huizhou.
After Chen Yang sent the news of the reinforcement back to the mountain city, his superiors immediately issued an order that not a single grain of supplies could be transported from Changsha.
The higher-ups have spoken, so how dare the two bigwigs from the Ninth and Fourth War Zones disobey?
"Higashino-kun, write a report immediately. I need to go to the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters to meet with General Nishio."
Higashino Daiki didn't dare to delay, so he bowed and went downstairs to prepare the report.
Chen Yang walked to the window, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help but let a smug smile appear on his face.
If the supplies cannot be delivered, the war will definitely be delayed.
But how long it can be delayed is unknown.
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Commander Xiwei frowned involuntarily when he saw the report sent by Chen Yang.
"Director Chen, why is it so sudden? The transportation on this line was running smoothly before."
Chen Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I also feel that this is very sudden. Fortunately, they didn't take much supplies. I originally arranged three trains to transport them continuously. Now it seems that there is trouble."
"Unless, ask the navy for help."
Commander Nishio's face darkened and he looked hesitant.
Logically speaking, the navy has warships stationed in the Guangzhou Bay area, and it is entirely possible to obtain supplies from them first.
Such as ammunition and weapons.
However, the internal strife between the Choshu and Satsuma domains was too outrageous.
Both sides use the same type of weapons, but the ammunition is not the same type.
Simply put, the navy's bullets cannot be loaded into the army's guns, and the army's artillery shells cannot be used in the navy's artillery.
Now, seeing that the army is unable to launch an attack due to lack of supplies, those in the navy will probably just clap their hands wildly on the sidelines.
"Okay, I'll discuss this with Commander Hase, hoping to borrow their warships to help us transport supplies."
"Oh, there's one more thing." Chen Yang took out the list Leo gave him from his bag and said, "Germany has sent someone over."
"This is their request. In addition to this, Mr. Leo also wants the latest research data on the British radar."
"I don't know if the Empire has this information, so I didn't agree to it."
"They are waiting for my reply at the German Hotel."
When Commander Nishio heard the news, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
After a while, he said leisurely: "Director Chen, please wait outside the office for a while. I'll make a call."
Chen Yang nodded and sat on a stool outside the office waiting for about half an hour, then the sound of footsteps was heard.
A voice whispered in his ear: "Mr. Chen, hearing about someone is worse than meeting them in person. Hello, I am Yamamoto Yoshisaburo."
