Next, Lao Zhang stayed at Lao Xie's place, while Lao Xie left the teahouse.

As for whether Lao Zhang would leave, Lao Xie was not worried. After all, there were many things that Lao Xie was confident about. As long as Lao Zhang left, Lao Xie would receive the news.

He also believed that Lao Zhang must know something. After all, it would be difficult to investigate Lao Xie.

Of course, this investigation still requires Lao Zhang’s cooperation.

As for Lao Xie, he is just applying to the higher authorities now.

……

On the other side, Zhang Tianhao stood at the gate of the factory and watched the spies and checkpoints at the intersection east of the factory withdraw. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

The blockade was originally going to last for a long time, but the Japanese were ruthless enough to cancel it in just five days, allowing traffic to pass directly on the road in front of his factory.

"Notify all workers to leave work an hour earlier this afternoon!"

"What about tomorrow?"

"If we continue to work tomorrow and take a holiday now, wouldn't that be a waste of our time and money?"

Zhang Tianhao looked at Zhang Lu on the side and said calmly: "Have you seen the factory accounts? Do you think our factory workers can still make money if they don't work? I can lose a day of factory work, but I will earn less money, which is equivalent to a loss for me!"

"Doesn't your factory make a lot of money every month? About 70,000 to 80,000 yen. Is that not enough?"

"Seventy to eighty thousand yen, do you know how much it costs to take care of it? Sixty to seventy percent!"

Zhang Tianhao rolled his eyes at her and continued his inspection.

"By the way, you can work overtime in the factory tonight and take a good look at all the documents. Also, do you know Japanese?"

"I'm sorry, I can't!"

"It's really a bit troublesome. If there is a phone call and you hear Japanese, just say in Chinese that you don't understand and wait for me to come back!"

"Also, if someone comes to the factory to collect supplies and calls him Sakai Issei, you can give it to him directly. There's no need to say anything else or ask too many questions."

"understood!"

"Okay then. Go and notify Gu Hao and Zhao Jun. Let them take care of the factory for me."

After saying that, Zhang Tianhao waved to A-Ring who was not far away.

"A-Ring, come out with me!"

"Yes!"

A'Reng, who had been following Zhang Tianhao, immediately trotted over and drove away.

Zhang Tianhao stood on the side of the road, waited for the car to drive over, and then got in.

Zhang Lu, who stayed where she was, watched Zhang Tianhao hurriedly leave the factory and stomped her feet in anger. After all, she couldn't get out and was quite helpless.

"By the way, Ms. Zhang, please contact Director Ming of the Economic Committee to see how many families and people have been subsidized over the past few days. Make an account and then deduct the money from the wages of these workers."

"Ok!"

Zhang Tianhao rolled down the car window and shouted to Zhang Lu.

……

In the meeting room of the gendarmerie, the admiral and four Japanese generals, Doizo, Kagesa, and Kamei, were sitting there, each looking at a colonel with a serious expression as he reported his plan.

"Generals, the situation is like this. All the plans were good, but the problem is that all the plans have been delayed because of the military camp outside the city." "So, we can't occupy the concession right away and can't cooperate with other places. Maybe we have to postpone it?"

"If we have 3,000 imperial soldiers now, can we occupy the concession?"

"It's a bit difficult. Once they resist, we won't have a chance to occupy here. Moreover, it will cost us a lot. After all, the total number of troops in the concession is nearly 6000. If we add the patrols, it will far exceed . So, it's better for us not to occupy it by force!"

"Their military strength is simply not enough. The warriors of the empire are the bravest. As long as we kill them, I believe we will definitely defeat these multinational forces."

At this time, Kamei on the side immediately raised objections. After all, in his opinion, these troops were very weak.

"No, we have to make a good plan to ensure that everything goes smoothly before we can take over the concession!"

"In addition, part of our troops are directly tied up in the military camp. If it weren't for the military camp, we wouldn't be afraid of these people at all. Four thousand people are enough to take over the concession."

The fat guy on the side also spoke slowly.

"Yes, our current military strength is far from enough, but if we launch a surprise attack, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, the combat effectiveness of the multinational forces in the concession is not a concern at all."

The admiral in charge shook his head slowly and said calmly, "What are the real combat troops? The navy provides 1,500. The two battalions outside the city can only mobilize one battalion, 1,000 people, and 500 military police. You are quite clear about the combat effectiveness of these 500 military police. It is very poor."

"So, there are only 2,500 soldiers in total. 2,500 versus 6,000. The gap is still too big. The most important thing is that we don't have heavy weapons, so the attack is more difficult."

"Admiral, I think we can postpone it for two days, but I don't know if the headquarters will agree?"

"It is indeed a problem. We cannot withdraw 500 gendarmes, so we can only use 2,500 warriors. If that doesn't work, we can take another 500 of the 1,000 outside the city. What do you think?"

"General, three thousand versus six thousand. Although we may win, it may be difficult to win."

"The most important thing is that if we win, it may be a tragic victory, so I suggest postponing it!"

"I also suggest postponing it so that the troops can be mobilized. What do you think?"

"Oh, everyone. I think we can do this. Hand over the guards outside the city to the local police and tell them that there is a virus here. If you don't want to die, you must stay away from there and not let anyone get close. In addition, there is a small team of imperial soldiers stationed in the barracks. I think it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"That's possible, but we need to send two teams to assist these police officers, or even to guard them."

"Ok!"

"Then do we still need to refuse to take action?"

"Don't refuse. If we can't take the concession with 3,400 imperial soldiers, and take it at a very small cost, it would be our incompetence and we would have failed the expectations of the empire. This is unforgivable."

"In addition, operations in other places will also be launched. Our two battalions were originally planned to be transferred to Hong Kong. We will be transferred to Shenzhen by train at noon tomorrow at the latest. The troops over there are obviously insufficient!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in with a serious expression on his face.

This person was none other than the Japanese ambassador from Shanghai. He walked in with a telegram in his hand and spoke something.

"What? Two battalions are being transferred. What about our garrison outside the city? Without the imperial army stationed there, there might be a lot of trouble!"

"Yes, Ambassador, how can this be possible? If this is true, then we are in trouble. Shanghai only relies on a few hundred people in our gendarmerie, which is useless. Once a riot breaks out again, it is very likely that the whole of Shanghai will fall into an endless crisis."

"I know what you said, but this is an order from the Army Headquarters and must be carried out!"

"At the same time, Major General Kamei, I believe you must have received the news. The 1,500 naval soldiers must unconditionally cooperate with the work in Shanghai to stabilize the situation in Shanghai."

"Hi!"

Major General Kamei also knew that this ambassador represented the decision of the headquarters. (End of this chapter)
