Chapter 920: Not a Pound is Gone
At the same time, in Shanghai Plum Blossom Hall.
The head of the intelligence section, Hikojiro Suga, walked into the office of Yoshiaki Kagesa with Li Shiqun, the deputy director of No. 76, and unexpectedly found that the head of the economic division, Ken Inuyang, was also there.
"Your Excellency!"
Hikojiro Suga nodded heavily at Sazhen Akira, and then bowed slightly to Inuyoken.
Kagesa Akira snorted softly at Hikojiro Suga, and Inuya Ken also bowed slightly to him.
"Shadow Zo Taijun, dog breed Taijun." Li Shiqun took off his top hat and greeted Shadow Zuozhen Showa and Inu Yangjian with a sinister face, but neither Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao nor Inu Yangjian ignored him.
In normal times, Shadow Zuozhen Showa dog Yangjian would nod to Li Shiqun out of the need to win people's hearts, but today, because the mood is really bad, they are really too lazy to be perfunctory.
Why are you in a bad mood? First, because he was reprimanded by Okamura Ninji yesterday, and secondly, he was put on a fight by Zhong Yi, and he lost the economic war that they had high hopes for, and lost at least 10 million yen!
"Your Excellency!" "According to the report of Agent No. 76 lurking in the port of Jinhae, the two bombardments last night still dealt a heavy blow to King Zhongyan, and even the most conservative estimates were at least 50,000 tons of grain burned. ”
"50,000 tons of grain burned?" When Kagesa heard this, instead of being happy, he became even more angry, and then asked, "Then how much grain has been transported?" ”
"Well...... Suga Hikojiro choked slightly when he heard this, and added, "There are about 700,000 to 800,000 tons of grain that have been transported. ”
"Between 700,000 tons and 800,000 tons?" One of Kagesaki's faces immediately turned into black charcoal.
The dog Yangjian standing next to him also looked gloomy, and the little devil quickly calculated in his heart, such a large amount of food was enough for King Zhong Yan to easily feed the more than 1.5 million refugees who poured into Yinjiang.
Not only that, but there may even be surplus food to feed the soldiers.
This proves Okamura Ninji's judgment even more, it was a trap from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Inu Yangjian couldn't wait to slap himself, careless.
"Yaga...... Yaru! Ying Zuozhen cursed hatefully, and then vented his anger on No. 76 and Li Shiqun, and immediately slapped Li Shiqun with his hand, and scolded sharply, "What are you eating at No. 76?" Such a large amount of grain is hoarded at the dock, and it can't be found? What's the use of the Great Japanese Empire spending so much money to support you? A group of rice buckets, all of them are rice buckets! ”
"Hello! Hello! Li Shiqun was beaten, and he had to bow again and again.
But in his heart, Li Shiqun has already greeted the eighteenth generation of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's ancestors, your mother, do you blame us for this matter in the end? Didn't you give instructions to just keep an eye on the bulk of the corn landing? If it weren't for your blind instructions, would we have been able to make such a low-level mistake?
Taking a deep breath, Kagesa tried his best to regain his composure.
Then he asked Suga Hikojiro again: "Suga-kun, King Zhong Yan, uh no, Zhong Yi has any other actions besides rushing to transport grain?" ”
"Hello." Hikojiro Suga paused and said, "I'm about to report to His Excellency Osa." ”
After a slight pause, Hikojiro Suga continued: "Last night, in addition to mobilizing the military police and a large number of people to rush to Zhenhai Wharf to transport grain, Zhong Yi also launched an arrest operation against the Chen family and more than a dozen grain merchants at the same time. ”
"Nani?" Shadow Zuozhen Zhao was stunned and said, "Moving so fast? ”
"Yaga, grain!" "What about the food in their hands?" ”
Hikojiro Suga shook his head and said, "Not only are they hoarding nearly 200,000 tons of grain, but even their family property has been confiscated by Zhong Yi!" ”
"Yaga!" When Ying Zuozhen heard this, he immediately said angrily, "Raided? ”
"Yaga, how can this be?" Inu Yangjian was dumbfounded, "Even if the Chen family and more than a dozen grain merchants hoard, it will only disrupt the business order, and at most a little money will be fined, how can they raid the house?" Zhong Yi, is this too unreasonable? Is there any national law in his eyes? He still doesn't talk about the rules? ”
After a pause, the dog raised Jian and wailed loudly: "He is completely unreasonable!" ”
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao also wailed loudly: "Doesn't this mean that the money we lent to the Chen family and those dozen or so grain merchants, not only will the interest be lost, but the principal will also be lost?" ”
"Yes." Hikojiro Suga said gloomily, "At the moment, it seems that this should be the case. ”
"Oh no, it's not just about money." Inuyangjian continued to wail, "And food. ”
After a pause, Inuyangken said again: "Not only is the money gone, but what's worse is that the food we have promised Commander Okamura is also gone, so how can we explain to Commander Okamura when we go back?" ”
When Ying Zuozhen heard this, he was immediately stunned, yes, what can I do?
Thinking of this, Kagezo Zhenzhao turned around and walked out, so let's hide for now.
As he walked outside, Kagesa said to Inukai-kun, "Inukai-kun, if Commander Okamura comes to me, you will say that I went to inspect the Blue Bridge Prison, and I may not return to Shanghai today." ”
Because he turned around to talk, he didn't look out of the door, and he almost collided with a person who was walking inside.
It was also a coincidence that the person who was walking inside the door was none other than the commander of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Ninji, whom he said.
"Kagesa-kun?" Okamura Ninji pushed Kage Satsuaki to prevent the two from colliding together, and said in surprise, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" Going to visit the Tiranbridge Prison? ”
"Uh......" Kagesa Zhenzhao didn't know how to answer.
"Inu-kun is there too?" Okamura Ninji turned his head and saw Inu Yangjian again, and said with a smile, "How's the food thing?" Our merchant ships should be arriving in Yuyao soon, right? Did you get any food? ”
Kagesa Zhenzhao pretended to be dumb, but he just looked back at the dog Yangjian, you say.
Inu Yangjian couldn't hide anymore, so he could only look left and right and say to him: "This, that, it's like this......"
"Inu-kun!" Okamura Ninji's face immediately fell, and he said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Hello." Inuyoken paused and said, "Your Excellency, there is indeed a little problem with that. ”
"Is there not enough food?" Okamura Ninji frowned and said, "Say, how many catties are missing?" ”
"That." Inu Yangjian smiled bitterly, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid it's not that there are still many catties left, but that there are no catties at all." ”
