Chapter 695 Special Envoy Arrives in Shanghai

"Vice President of the Black Dragon Society?" Chen Yang touched his nose and said, "Actually, I think it would be better for me to be the Minister of Transportation."

"Aunt, you also know that many people in the local Black Dragon Society would not like me to take this position."

"What's more, the Black Dragon Society's power is mostly in the north. Even if I can become the vice president, the emperor is far away. Yamamoto Yujiro killed Furukawa Hisasaku, so he won't obey my orders."

"No matter how much I do, it will only make those people more and more afraid of my existence. Now you still want me to be the vice president?"

Li Xianshu frowned slightly: "Are you blaming me for not informing you in advance of the purpose of Yamamoto Yujiro's visit to China, thus disrupting your layout in the north?"

"Chen Yang, you have to understand that the Black Dragon Society is somewhat different from other chambers of commerce."

"The ancestors of the Yamamoto family started out as coolies at the docks and gradually took control of the shipping business at Japanese ports."

"Unlike organizations like the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, which have long been deeply rooted in Japan."

"If I really want to compare, I think it is similar to the Qing Gang in your hands."

"I don't deny that Hisasaku Furukawa has some ability, but unfortunately, what he did was a big mistake. He betrayed his partner. Even if such a person has great talent, he will not be valued in the end."

"Killing him not only helped the Yamamoto family regain face, but also gave you an excuse to attack you in the future. After all, you also used him to overthrow Yamamoto Yoshisaburo."

"If he dies, it will be good for you and the Yamamoto family. Why should I stop him?"

"Okay, don't mention Furukawa Hisasaku anymore."

"The person you should pay more attention to now is Shimazu Yoshio of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce."

"This person has a high position in the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and his methods are very clever. Moreover, based on the intelligence we have obtained, his purpose for coming to Shanghai is not simple."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's actually not that difficult."

"He came here from his home country, and he certainly didn't come here to clean up Kentaro Tanaka's mess."

"Aunt, if I'm not mistaken, the Osaka Chamber of Commerce will shift its funding from the army to the navy next."

"The purpose of his visit to Shanghai this time is to meet Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito."

Li Xianshu was slightly stunned. The Osaka Chamber of Commerce wanted to change its attitude and support the navy?

With her identity and status, she naturally knew the composition of the Japanese Navy.

In July last year, Japan's naval warships formed a joint fleet at the suggestion of Navy Minister Yonai and Army Minister Shinichiro Toyoda.

The commander-in-chief of this fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.

"Invest in the navy? Are you sure about your information?" Li Xianshu still didn't quite believe it.

As everyone knows, the Osaka Chamber of Commerce has always been on good terms with the Army and provides the Army with tens of millions of yen in military funds every year to support the Army's operations in China.

Suddenly turning to the navy at this time?

"Of course." Chen Yang chuckled and said, "I know they are instigating the First Fleet of the Combined Fleet to go to the Philippines and strive to expand the battlefield in Southeast Asia."

"Mr. Hiromoto mentioned to me that the Osaka Chamber of Commerce had contacted Vice Admiral Nagumo, the commander of the Navy's First Fleet."

"According to the intelligence I have obtained, Vice Admiral Nanyun has not made a clear statement. At this time, Shimazu Yoshio came to China from his homeland. His purpose is probably to show goodwill to the navy through Prince Nobuhito."

"After all, everyone knows that although Prince Nobuhito is only a colonel, he is the spokesperson for His Majesty the Emperor in the Navy."

"If we can get his support, the Osaka Chamber of Commerce can shift its focus and support the navy's march south."

Li Xianshu's expression became solemn.

The First Fleet of the Combined Fleet rarely goes into battle, but since they are ranked first, their strength is naturally the strongest in the Combined Fleet.

This fleet has eight battleships alone, including the newest "Ise" and "Yamashiro". In addition to these two ships, the First Fleet also has four heavy cruisers; eight destroyer divisions, a total of 30 destroyers.

In addition, there are four light cruisers, two mine warfare squadrons, an aviation squadron, two aircraft carriers, and two destroyers...

This kind of strength is almost overwhelming in the Southeast Asian battlefield.

"It seems that the Black Dragon Society's intelligence officer in the mainland should indeed be replaced."

Li Xianshu frowned and said, "They didn't even find out such important information. These professional intelligence personnel are not as good as a transportation minister of China."

"Chen Yang, now that you know Shimazu Yoshio's purpose for coming to China, what are your plans?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Li Xianshu said: "Whether you have thought it through or not, you can't let Shimazu Yoshio successfully connect with the navy."

"Since they dared to silence us, they must have been prepared to fight the Black Dragon Society. We cannot let them grow stronger."

"You can ask for anything you want, but the result must be that Shimazu Yoshio returns empty-handed."

Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll think of a way."

"Aunt, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Li Xianshu nodded and said, "You have to keep this matter in mind. Okay, you can go back first."

In Shanghai, at the train station, a tall figure carrying a gray suitcase slowly walked out of the exit.

Taking out the pocket watch from his pocket, the man looked at the time. There were still seven minutes until the agreed time.

The man looked around, slowly walked to the square in front of the station, and stood in an inconspicuous position.

"Boss, do you have a fire?" The man had just stood there for less than a few minutes when a flattering voice came from beside him.

Hearing the voice, the man looked at the other person. The other person was a young man in his early thirties, wearing a short coat, with a cigarette in his mouth, as if looking for a light.

"Sorry, I don't smoke, so, no light."

"That's unfortunate. My fire fell. Where can I buy it?"

"I'm sorry, I just came to Shanghai, so I don't know much about it."

The code was correct, and the young man spat the cigarette on the ground and said, "Hello, Mr. Gu. I am Cheng Jiyuan, deputy chief of the intelligence department of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station. My code name is Camel."

"Stationmaster Xu arranged for me to pick you up. Please follow me."

Gu Yanming nodded and asked casually, "How is Stationmaster Xu's arrangement?"

Cheng Jiyuan whispered: "I have arranged for someone to go to Dingcun. I think Yun Mujie will be rescued soon."

"The stationmaster asked me to tell you that please rest assured that the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station will do its utmost to assist Mr. Gu in completing his mission."

Gu Yanming nodded slightly, and the two of them walked to the edge of the square and each got into a rickshaw.

Cheng Jiyuan gave an address, and the rickshaw carrying the two people quickly disappeared in the crowd.
