Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 551: The Real Japanese Spy

Affected by the rectification of military discipline, the examination and approval of leave management has also been suspended.

Carter's planned trip to Cremona was put on hold, and life once again returned to a normal track.

On Thursday of the second week, Private First Class Garner was dismissed from the military and handed over to the Italian police.At the same time, Captain Winters of Company B was also formally reprimanded in writing by the general officer, from that day onwards.
The once high-spirited officer is gone, replaced by a new alcoholic.

Apart from these two messages that reached the grassroots, Carter had no idea what was going on in the leadership of the Southern European Task Force.What made Carter a little depressed was that, apart from his fake going out, Hampton said that he planned to let him go to the third row to act as the temporary platoon leader.

Like the first week, Carter could only stay at the company headquarters and cooperate with Lieutenant McGuire to handle some paper work.Of course, Carter only handles document work, purely because apart from writing SIGACT and Storyboard, which are submitted every week under the guidance of McGuire, this kind of American stereotyped essay, Carter still can't do professional work. .

Only once in a while after completing the writing work, when he walked around with McGuire and watched McGuire skillfully handle maintenance work with professional non-commissioned officers. Carter realized that what he thought in the past was still a bit too good.

As on this planet, it can be said that there is an existence like the ceiling of combat power.If the US military officers are all bastards, they are somewhat deceiving themselves.This group of deputy company commanders of the US military is very similar to the former domestic deputy company commanders, and they can be called the panacea of ​​the company
Basically, he can do the main business work of his subordinates in a combat company!In comparison, compared to the domestic deputy company commander who specializes in dredging sewers, he may seem to be a little more professional.
This discovery couldn't help but shake Carter's idea that "it's good to be an officer" just now.

The risk is really high, and something too big might ruin your career.And under the premise that the return is unknown, it seems that there are many professional skills that need to be learned
But aside from these, life in the barracks is good.It is indeed a bit boring at work, but after get off work, there are bars, billiard halls and so on in the barracks, plus I still need to practice the piano, so the time will not seem empty
The dull days lasted until June 6, when a phone call broke Carter's peace of mind gradually polished by military life.

"Carter, I have a call for you."

"it is good!"

It was the afternoon of June 6. Carter, who had just returned to the company headquarters after lunch, just picked up the phone, and before Carter could speak, the caller hurriedly said:

"Something has happened! Carter, Hitachi and Sanleng, six more engineers and executives have been arrested!"

Compared with the call before coming to Europe, Akio Toyoda's tone this time seemed a bit rushed. After the brief notification, he said directly:
"The specific situation. Let my dad talk to you!"

"Ahem, Carter, can you hear me?"

"Can."

Carter looked around and talked about this kind of problem in the US military barracks
But think about it, I have not sold any intelligence resources to the Japanese, it seems that
After weighing the pros and cons, Carter waved at Sergeant Ruburt in the office, and drew an "MP" character in the void.At the same time, he responded:

"Mr. Toyoda, just tell me if you have something to say!"

"Yesterday, have you read the news that Hitachi's senior engineers Hayashi Kenji, Onishi Yuo, and Sanlong's engineer Kimura were arrested by the FBI?"

"Sorry, I was a little busy yesterday and didn't have time to watch the news. What were they arrested for?"

"Spy! The FBI accused them of illegally stealing IBM's top-secret technical information."

Spy again? !
Reminiscent of the arrest of Hitachi executives that appeared not long ago
Something is wrong!
It is indeed a very obvious thing that the United States wants to engage Japan.However, the name of anti-espionage was used repeatedly and with extremely short intervals to target Japanese companies
In Carter's memory, 82 did not seem to be the time when the United States really started to do it.

"Is the situation true?"

Seeing the military police pouring in outside the door, Carter pointed to the phone in front of him.At the same time, one hand made a gesture of answering the phone next to the ear.
Seeing Carter's prompt, the gendarmes reacted quickly and retreated lightly, probably looking for monitoring equipment.
"This"

Carter's question caused Shoichiro Toyoda to fall silent.After a while, the other party sighed:
"Basically true!"

"Then what else is there to say?"

Carter was speechless
As for the Pocket Technique, the period of white terror has long passed, and even if you want to use it, it is impossible to use it so frequently!Otherwise, Americans themselves can't stand the ambiguity compared to the last time, this time.
"The favor of Ayukawa's family has already been entrusted, and we can't refuse. I heard from Akio that you have acquaintances in the Ministry of Justice. I wonder if you can help introduce them? Don't worry, it's just a referral. Regardless of success or failure, we Japanese will Remember your friend, from now on"

It's no secret that I can communicate with the Ministry of Justice through Rick.There's no way anyone can justify having a police company in Connecticut.
Carter was not surprised that the Toyota family knew this, but was a little surprised by Shoichiro Toyoda's directness.It stands to reason that the relationship between the two parties has not reached this point yet, has it?

It is said that there is an interest dispute, and Carter admits it.But something else, myself.
Seeing that the gendarmes had prepared monitoring and recording equipment, Carter did not refuse.Compared to pleasing the Japanese, it is obviously more important not to cut themselves off from the circle of Americans.

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Toyota. Tell me about the specific situation first! Let me see if there is room for maneuver."

"Okay, I'm in a hurry! Carter, the situation is this: Last year, Kenji Lin got 308 volumes of the 27 volumes of IBM 10X series technical materials from a company in Silicon Valley, and then opened Pandora's box. He continued to spy on the rest 17 volumes, and then found a partner, expressed the hope to recruit a retired executive from IBM, and hoped that the other party would help introduce him, and this is where something went wrong.”

"The so-called IBM executive is an agent of the FBI! I don't think I need to say more about the details. I'm just thinking, if the FBI does this, is it phishing law enforcement? Can you do something about this place , and then cooperate with the relationship of the Ministry of Justice to operate one or two. Don’t worry, this matter will never involve you, we are friends, it’s just that friends introduce one or a few new friends to each other.”

"I still say that, no matter whether things succeed or fail in the end, you are our Japanese friends. From now on"

Ignoring the pie drawn by Shoichiro Toyoda for the time being, Carter glanced at the military police next to him again:
"Okay, this information is enough. Speaking of which, I and you Toyota are also old acquaintances, and I have a very good relationship with Akio. Since you found me, I can't just sit idly by, but you also said that this After all, it is our national interest in the United States. Let me think about how to do it and whether I can help. In addition, I have to talk to my friends from the Department of Justice before I can give you an answer."
