Chapter 440: Can't Do It
Nakanishi said, "I think Section Chief Yoshikawa may need a little more time."
Commander Nishio's voice instantly rose an octave: "It's OK if it's OK, it's not OK if it's not OK. It will take time, where can I find time for him? What else does he want to do?"
"Mr. Nishio, please don't get excited yet." Nakanishi Gong comforted awkwardly.
"Bang." Commander Nishio slammed his fist on the desk and said angrily: "Don't get excited. You told me not to get excited, how can I not get excited?"
"They swore that as long as Chen Yang was kicked out, they would be able to quickly control the transportation network in the south."
"But what about now? Because of the delay in the transportation of materials, eleven material transportation routes have been suspended."
"The time it takes to deliver supplies is three or four times slower than before, and it has no advantage over the northern route at all."
"The people in the logistics department are getting impatient. The slower the transportation of materials, the slower they make money."
"No matter how rich President Omura is, can the Mantetsu give them the money?"
Zhong Xigong was speechless.
Yes, the problem now is not whether the transportation routes can be operated, but that Yoshikawa Yujiro is simply unable to control the southern transportation network.
Chen Yang painstakingly created such a huge network. As long as the transportation speed is fast enough, their profits will be faster.
The problem now is that they have supplies, but they cannot transport them out.
This means that Yoshikawa has hindered their ability to make money. It has only been a few days and some people are already getting restless.
Moreover, this money is not a loss, but the materials are in front of us and cannot be converted into cash. No matter how rich the president of Mantetsu Omura is, he cannot use this money to subsidize.
After all, he had promised before that the losses would be paid for by the Manchuria Railway. If there were no losses, then how could there be any bill?
"Mr. Zhongxi, have you found out what went wrong with the southern transportation line?"
After a while, Commander Nishio asked the most crucial question.
Nakanishi Gong frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nishio, we have checked all the procedures, but we really can't find the crux of the problem."
"We can only attribute this to our talent for transportation."
"That is to say, Chen Yang has a talent for transportation that no one else can match. He is extremely sensitive to numbers and can accurately and meticulously arrange every transportation line without any mistakes."
"But Yoshikawa-kun, to be honest, it's not even close."
"As of now, Yoshikawa-kun's ability is only one-third of Chen Yang's. However, he has tried to use trains and trucks to transport goods at the same time to ease the transportation pressure."
"Nonsense, that's all he can do. What about the cost?" Commander Nishio gritted his teeth and said, "He only calculates efficiency and doesn't care about cost?"
"We use trains for transportation because they have the lowest cargo capacity and cost and are the most convenient."
"Using trucks? Don't we need to take into account the fuel, labor, and wear and tear? How much money will be wasted in just one month?"
"Besides, even if he is willing to use a combination of trucks and trains for transportation, it would be a waste of the logistics department's money. Would the people in the logistics department be willing to do so? Isn't he afraid that this network will collapse?"
Zhong Xigong sighed and said, "We have seen all these things, but now we are in a difficult situation."
"We finally got the southern transportation line back, are we going to give it away again?"
"That means we made a major mistake in our decision. How will the mainland view us? Mr. Matsuoka has just taken over the position of Foreign Minister. If we return the Vertical Word Class, it would be like slapping him in the face repeatedly. Will he agree to this?"
"Politics is such a disgusting thing." Commander Nishio sighed deeply upon hearing this.
After a while, he seemed to have made a decision: "Nakanishi-kun, tell Yoshikawa-kun that I will give him at most one month, no, half a month, only half a month. Before October 1st, he must restore the southern transportation line to normal."
"If he can't do that, let him pack his own bed and go back north."
"Then there is the Manchurian Railway..."
"Stupid, we are the ones who are responsible for the chaos in the south. Do you think President Omura will speak for us?"
Zhong Xigong was silent for a long time, but still nodded with a wry smile.
Just as he was about to leave, Commander Nishio suddenly called him.
"Mr. Nakanishi, wait a minute. The Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau wrote me a letter of recommendation, hoping that Mr. Nakanishi can cooperate with the Manchurian Railway to set up a special affairs investigation team."
"The purpose is to conduct intelligence investigations on the Kuomintang army, the Red Party, and the upper echelons of the concession."
"The situation is very chaotic now. The European battlefield is in chaos. The Soviet Union has already invested more than two million troops in the battle with Finland, and it is possible that the investment will continue to increase in the future."
"England, France and Germany are also ready for war."
"Shanghai is the gathering place of Eastern intelligence. We must have first-hand intelligence information."
"That's no problem. Intelligence work is my job." Zhong Xigong nodded, and suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Commander, I heard that the Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau in Shanghai has changed people?"
"It's Miss Kawashima," Commander Nishio said, pulling out a telegram. "The Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau's intelligence gathering work in Shanghai is now in the hands of Yoshiko Kawashima."
"However, the Special Higher Police Department doesn't seem to be very friendly to you right now."
Of course, Gong Zhongxi understood the reason, after all, it was his idea that the Special First Division join the Expeditionary Force's Special Operations Department.
"It's okay, Commander. I will discuss this matter with General Doi-Yuan. It won't affect the overall situation."
"I believe he will not delay important matters because of a Nantian Yunzi."
Commander Nishio frowned for no reason when he heard the name.
"Mr. Nakanishi, to be honest, I don't know why you want to win over Nan Tian, but in my opinion, this person has too many problems. I advise you, if possible, don't pay too much attention to her actions."
"Don't let a woman delay important things."
Nakanishi Gong was stunned for no reason. What? Did Commander Nishio think that he was trying to win over Minamida Yunko because he wanted her body?
Do I look that much like a pervert?
Bah, vile...
Shanghai, Moon Cage...
The evening breeze was charming. Chen Yang stood in the top box, looking at the scenery outside through the window.
Across the river is Xiaotong Bridge.
When he first came to Shanghai, he just wanted to use the materials business to gain a foothold in Shanghai and lie low.
Unexpectedly, in less than two years, he has reached a high position.
From a small character to a big man who can influence the success or failure of a large-scale battle, Chen Yang felt as if he was dreaming.
Click. Click.
A series of crisp footsteps sounded, and the door of the box was opened. Kawada Sakurako bowed and said, "Boss, they are all here. Isn't it time for you to leave?"
Chen Yang did not answer, but shook the red wine glass in his hand and said, "Yingzi, I want to know, if you were allowed to choose again, would you still be willing to be who you are now?"
Kawada Sakurako said without hesitation: "Of course, I already have what many people dream of. If it weren't for you, my life would not have been so wonderful."
