Chapter 696: Find out the logistics (seeking a monthly ticket)
Three days later, Kitaoka Ryoko was whispering to Yukita Nakajima in an apartment in the French Concession.
Yukita Nakajima said: "Team leader, we have been watching Fujiwara's cargo transportation process for a while and have preliminarily found out some of their materials."
"Talk about it in detail!"
"Fujiwara Corporation has a very large amount of material transportation. Their materials arrive at the port every seven days, and they usually arrive ashore at the Queen's Wharf in the French Concession. Each time they are transported to four large warehouses near the wharf. Their operation speed is very fast, and the goods will be transported out in two to three days.
But strangely, only the goods in the two warehouses in the west will be transported to Fujiwara Club in downtown Shanghai, and the supplies in the two warehouses in the east will be transported to the south city, and will be transported to Shanghai through our checkpoints westwards."
Kitaoka Ryoko asked, "Sokao? Didn't you follow me?"
Yukita Nakajima was stunned, shook his head, and asked carefully: "Do you need to follow me?"
Kitaoka Ryoko glared at him and said seriously: "Of course, I need to know where the materials go? You must investigate all the situations in detail, especially after the materials enter the Chinese occupied area. If Fujiwara Company wants to obtain the maximum profit, the smuggling channels will definitely go deep into the Chinese war zone. What I want to know is how deep he intervenes? If it is to bulk goods to the local Chinese chamber of commerce, then it is to cooperate with Chinese merchants to earn high profits. However, if the materials go directly to the rear of the Chinese occupied area, the meaning of the representation is completely different. Being able to pass the many levels of the Chinese war zone, this means that Fujiwara Tomohito must have a tacit understanding with some Chinese forces, and this nature is very bad. Fujiwara Tomohito's identity must not be simple, do you understand?"
Yuki Nakajima looked at Kitaoka Ryoko in surprise. He didn't understand why Kitaoka Ryoko did this. After all, this was an enemy of the top powers in Shanghai, but he still had to obey Kitaoka Ryoko's orders, so he nodded and agreed: "Yes, I will do my best to follow the final destination of this part of the materials."
Kitaoka Ryoko continued: "According to the current situation, at least half of the materials from Fujiwara Company were transported to the Kuomintang-controlled areas of China, and the remaining half would be supplied to Shanghai and southern Jiangsu. No matter how large their transportation volume was, it was very tight."
"That's why they forcibly purchased other smuggling chambers of commerce and plundered the supply of goods to the maximum extent!" said Yukita Nakajima.
"They are investing in the enemy!" Kitaoka Ryoko said ruthlessly, "These people are crazy for money. If so many controlled materials are transported into the Kuomintang-controlled area, how much harm will it bring to the frontline operations? Don't they know?"
Nakajima Yukita looked at Kitaoka Ryoko and comforted her: "Team leader, with the ability of the Chinese government, these materials cannot be changed even if they are transported in. Our army will win one after another and will never win. They will be futile in the end."
"Bastard!" Kitaoka Ryoko cursed in a stern tone, "We spent so much effort to impose an embargo on China to resist the government, but Fujiwara Company took advantage of the opportunity of soaring prices in the Kuomintang-controlled area to make money wildly. This is a naked act of treason!"
Although Yukita Nakajima didn't agree, he still bowed his head and listened to the teachings, and did not dare to show it in the slightest.
Kitaoka Ryoko was obviously not confident enough. In fact, the largest smuggler of Japan during this period was not the Fujiwara Company in Shanghai, but the major chambers of commerce in Beijing and Tianjin in North China. However, the North China Front Army was half-buying and half-robbing in the form of issuing military tickets. The merchants in the KMT-regional District of China suffered a lot of losses, but it is undeniable that a large amount of controlled materials still entered the KMT-regional District of China. As for whom it was finally in hand, it is unknown.
Kitaoka Ryoko and Nakajima Yukita were both transferred from North China. They knew these situations very well, but only a hundred steps to laugh. In fact, Kitaoka Ryoko didn't want to get these. What she needs to know is how deep the relationship between Fujiwara Tomohito and the Kuomintang-controlled area is?
She knew very well that just smuggling materials would not pose any threat to powerful people like Fujiwara Tomohito. She wanted to catch more threatening evidence than this.
Kitaoka Ryoko calmed down and then asked, "Are there anything else to discover?"
Yukita Nakajima nodded and said, "I found out through some means that the two warehouses in the east are dedicated warehouses of two Chinese trading companies, one is called HSBC Yuan Trading Company and the other is called Zhonghui Trading Company. I also bribed an official from the French Concession Tax Bureau and found a situation, that is, these two companies did not have any trade with other companies in the French Concession. In other words, these two Chinese companies are dedicated offline by Fujiwara Company. They are just for the purpose of covering up the shell company."
Kitaoka Ryoko had long anticipated this, which was an indispensable part of the smuggling channel. She nodded and said, "Of course, Tomohito Fujiwara did not dare to let others know. He directly participated in the fact of smuggling to the Kuomintang-controlled area of China. The necessary concealment must be done. What you need to find out now is who is handling these things, such a large amount of freight transportation, the inlet and exit management of warehouses, the arrangement and transfer of vehicles, etc. This is not a simple matter. Tomohito Fujiwara must have arranged manpower in the French Concession to handle these things, and you must also figure it out."
Yukita Nakajima nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to guard the warehouse every day, secretly monitoring everything, and you will find something."
Kitaoka Ryoko repeatedly reminded: "Your actions should be careful and you must not alarm them. Fujiwara Tomohito is not a simple person. With his power, he can completely arrange enough force to protect the transportation channels here. If they are allowed to discover you, it is difficult to say what will happen!"
"I understand!" Nakajima Yukita agreed, "I will report to you immediately if there is any situation."
Kitaoka Ryoko shook her head and said, "Don't go back to the Tuhara agency to report to me during this period. I can only contact you on a single line. The Tuhara agency is now in charge of the work of Kagesa Yuki. He has brought a lot of personnel. The agency is not hidden. You monitor the affairs of Fujiwara Club. If they let them know, it will soon reach Fujiwara Tomohito's ears, and that will be troublesome."
Yukitaichi Nakajima was shocked. He stayed in the French Concession and lurked in the French Concession. After the establishment of the Tuhara mechanism, he only went back twice. He didn't know many things. Could it be that the weather has changed?
However, they have always been under the leadership of Kitaoka Ryoko and trust Kitaoka Ryoko very much, so they nodded and agreed, "Hi, everything is done as you tell me!"
At this time, Kitaoka Ryoko took out two photos again and placed them in front of Yukita Nakajima, saying, "You should pay more attention to these two people in the French Concession. If you can find them, it will be a great achievement."
The people in these two photos are Jiro Hirayama and Yasu Miyata. The photos were also remade from the newspaper. Kitaoka Ryoko probably introduced the situation to Yukita Nakajima, and then said: "We don't know the traces of Yasu Miyata, but Jiro Hirayama must still be in Shanghai. The news in the downtown area of Shanghai is very tight. He may enter the concession. Pay attention to it. If you find this person, I will be useful."
Kitaoka Ryoko has found out the whole story in the past few days. When she learned that Hirayama Tokuro was assassinated, she immediately knew that this was Fujiwara's operation. What kind of leaflets of anti-Japanese elements? It was just a clumsy trick to cover up. Later development was very clear. Jiro Hirayama escaped from the military camp and sneaked into Suzhou City to assassinate Shirakawa Hideaki to avenge his brother. Tomohito Fujiwara ordered the gendarmerie to arrest this person, but Jiro Hirayama actually sneaked into Shanghai and directly found Tomohito Fujiwara to take revenge. These things are all clear.
Kitaoka Ryoko knew that Tomohito Fujiwara was powerful and the charge of smuggling and controlling materials did not pose any threat to him, but the charge of killing active-duty officers was different. After all, this was during wartime, things could be big or small. As long as they were properly operated and made big, it would cause dissatisfaction from the military. For Tomohito Fujiwara, it would be a big trouble for Tomohito Fujiwara. Therefore, as long as you find these two parties, you can use them as a bargaining chip with weight and you can talk to Tomohito Fujiwara.
The situation in the Tuhara mechanism is not right now. Since the teacher left, Kagesa Yuki took over the work of mobile phones and quickly started to install her own people to take over various key positions. Kitaoka Ryoko saw it and was naturally anxious. She keenly felt that her teacher did not have an advantage in this game. She tried to threaten the chips in her hands and force Tomohito Fujiwara to support her teacher. As long as she lifted the banner of the Fujiwara family, she believed that all problems could be solved.
Just as Kitaoka Ryoko was deliberately collecting all the evidence and preparing to negotiate with Tomohito Fujiwara, the pseudo-government representatives who had been staying in Japan for many days finally rushed back to Shanghai. This time, negotiations on major issues were finally completed in Japan.
The negotiations were completed and the establishment of the pseudo-government began in full swing. Hiroki Kaeda also knew that a new round of assassination by Chinese agents against the new government officials was about to begin. In order to better protect the new government, Hiroki Kaeda decided to formally assign the secret service department under the Takahara agency to the system of the new government.
Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun officially visited Wang Baihai after Ying Zuo Yushu's recommendation. Wang Baihai was empty at this time, with people and money in his hands, and everything was lacking. He was naturally very satisfied with the joining of the agent headquarters with sufficient personnel and fully equipped. He immediately appointed two people as political commissaries of the pseudo-government, who were fully responsible for the protection of the pseudo-government agents.
From then on, the agent headquarters officially became the exclusive intelligence department of the pseudo-government. It was called No. 76 and became the sharpest sharp knife in the hands of the pseudo-government.
