The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 219 Someone is coming

Hongkou ruins.

Yasuda Kenichi and Zhou Qinghe were walking, with military police protecting them in front and behind.

"That's your new military police building, right?" Kenichi Yasuda asked at a construction site, where all the Chinese workers working in the concession were making a living.

Zhou Qinghe looked at the construction site and nodded, "Yes, it will be rebuilt on the original site. According to me, even the design drawings have not changed. They are still the same as before."

"This saves time. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the drawings are changed or not. The whole of Shanghai has fallen into the hands of the Japanese. It would be better not to change it. The former Military Police Headquarters building was also a carefully selected drawing plan. It’s strong enough.”

"It must be the same way above."

"Does your military police department have any plans on how to re-establish the HK area? Or does the consulate have anything to say?"

“I was not involved, but I heard some reports that the government affairs department still arranges according to the original address, while the commercial part is coordinated by the commercial counselor at the consulate.

The war razed all the houses to the ground, but after they were rebuilt and carefully planned, Little Tokyo has a lot to offer. As for who owns the land, there are huge implications. "

Zhou Qinghe smiled after speaking: "There is a difference between closeness and distance. The counselor may not have that many relatives, but there are many rich people. There is a saying that the consulate is now more lively than the vegetable market."

Yasuda Kenichi smiled knowingly: "Then we have to join in the fun. The Yasuda family doesn't want much. They have two locations in the core area, a Yasuda Bank Shanghai Head Office and a Yasuda Co., Ltd. building."

Zhou Qinghe thought for a moment and then nodded: "I'll go and communicate with you, and you should be able to sell me this face."

"unnecessary."

Kenichi Yasuda smiled and shook his head, pointed to the Huangpu River and said, "Let's go."

When he arrived at the riverside, he looked at Zhou Qinghe and continued: "I came to Shanghai for two things this time. The first thing is, of course, Fujita and Chiba's wedding. Now that the war in Shanghai has calmed down, it's time for you to get married. It’s time.”

After finishing speaking, Yasuda Kenichi looked at Zhou Qinghe with the eyes of an old father and said happily: "Chiba likes you very much. I asked her and you are also very good to her. Fujita, you are a very good young man. Leave Chiba to You, I’m very relieved, but I wonder what you think about getting married?”

Zhou Qinghe didn't dare to have any ideas. He nodded decisively and said with a smile: "Great. In fact, I have been waiting for this day. My original plan for myself was to wait until the construction of Little Tokyo is completed. If you don't come again, I will prepare I sent you an invitation directly, who knows if you are looking for other young people, I can't lose Qianye."

"Hahahaha, you are an activist." Yasuda Kenichi laughed heartily: "From my observation, most of the young people in the country are mediocre people, and the gap between them and you is still too big."

"Really? I take it seriously if I can be praised as the president of Yasuda Club."

"Of course, I'm telling the truth."

Yasuda Kenichi nodded matter-of-factly. The gap between the others and Fujita and Kiyo was probably as big as heaven and earth.

The military status of the lieutenant colonel is not the key. Although such a young lieutenant colonel is rare, even in a bureaucratic family, the promotion of the official position itself can be controlled at any time. It is nothing more than whether there are enemies above who want to press the button. Just you.

But the doctor's social circle determines that when other young people attend the banquet, they are sitting at the table below waiting for praise from other colleagues and elders.

As for Fujita Kazuki, he was sitting at the main table, and he was among the people chatting and laughing.

This gap is extremely difficult for young people of the same generation to break.

"Then the wedding has been decided. Pick a date, send out invitations, and make it a lively event."

"Okay, I'll leave you with the specifics."

"That's what I, as a father, should do. Let's talk about the second thing."

Kenichi Yasuda suppressed his smile and said calmly: "Since Shanghai has fallen into the hands of our country, we must fight for the interests of this largest city in the Far East, and we must achieve first place.

There are many banks in Shanghai, including British, American, French, Japanese, and even banks opened by the Chinese themselves. Yasuda Bank is not outstanding. Even because of previous decision-making issues, it is acceptable in China, but it is more than one step behind others in Shanghai.

This war razed Hongkou to the ground and brought Shanghai into the territory. This is an excellent opportunity for our Yasuda family.

Fujita, there are some things we can do by ourselves, and there are some things only you can do.

That’s why I just said that for things like land, you don’t need to take action. It’s just land. Our Yasuda family wants two pieces of land. How dare he, a commercial counselor, not give it to us?

These things don't cost you face.

But the future development of Yasuda Bank in Shanghai will be possible without you, the military police captain, and even your own connections.

For example, if our Yasuda family comes a few days late, other banks may have already started construction. Can you, Captain Fujita, ask him to stop? "

Yasuda Kenichi looked at the diagonal corner of the Military Police Headquarters construction site and smiled. There was also a construction site there, and a plaque of Merchant Bank was hung up very strongly to highlight the means.

After all, when other sites have not yet been determined, there is a bank that has already started construction. What kind of strong background does this have to have?

And if someone can stop the construction of this bank, the means will be even more powerful.

Zhou Qinghe looked at the bank's construction site and replied with a faint smile: "Before our Yasuda Bank is built, no other bank will be allowed to open in Hongkou first."

"Okay." Yasuda Kenichi drank happily, and this was the answer he wanted.

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Qinghe with bright eyes: "Fujita, this is your irreplaceable role. You are the captain of the military police, and you are active in Shanghai. The Yasuda family's hands are not long enough for Shanghai, in Chinese terms. , beyond our reach, but with you here and your protection, it is the most powerful guarantee for the development of the Yasuda family."

"Don't worry, I know how to do it."

"No, you don't know." Kenichi Yasuda looked back at the construction site and said with a smile: "Fujita, the first thing I want you to do is help me gather manpower, a lot of manpower, after I negotiate the location with the consulate. I want Yasuda Bank to be the first bank to open business. The construction progress of all other banks is at least half a month behind our Yasuda Bank. Can we do it?"

The simple and unpretentious business war method is not to do better than you, but to prevent you from opening a business. "That's no problem." Zhou Qinghe thought of two plans in an instant.

"In addition, for all other buildings on the land, regardless of whether they are short of money or not, I want them to come to Yasuda Bank for loans or open accounts to deposit funds so that they can build normally." Kenichi Yasuda showed his fangs.

"This." Zhou Qinghe thought for a moment and had difficulty, but still nodded: "This position cannot be achieved by just relying on the position of captain of the military police, but leave it to me, and I can make them obediently go to Yasuda Bank to get a loan to build a building."

What the military police captain cannot do, the Chinese can do it. Who makes the people who build the buildings all Chinese workers?

The Chinese workers who started construction work in the concession could only be of one type, those from the Youth Gang.

"Very good." Kenichi Yasuda was so satisfied.

"Shanghai's banking industry is booming. As long as we control these businessmen and let them develop, our Yasuda family can make money comfortably. They are all working for us."

"It's obviously mutual benefit. With me as the military police captain protecting them, their industry is safe enough."

"Yes, mutual benefit, hahahaha."

The two of them chatted about the situation in Shanghai for a while, and then someone came to ask for dinner.

Tonight's meal was supposed to be a family banquet, and there wouldn't be an external banquet until tomorrow.

For example, the nephews and nephews of the Yasuda family and the Mitsubishi family had a reception banquet when they came to Shanghai last time. As the president of the Yasuda Foundation, Kenichi Yasuda had too many people who wanted to welcome him.

However, at Yasuda Kenichi's level, people who want to help him may not be qualified, and it is extremely difficult for others to meet him.

So tomorrow there will be a small-scale cocktail party, and today’s family dinner shouldn’t invite anyone, but inviting people to the family banquet makes it different.

In front of the izakaya on the Bund, Yasuda Kenichi and Zhou Qinghe received the visitor, Chief of Staff Shinozuka Maomi.

"chief of staff."

"Fujita, Mr. Yasuda."

"please."

After sitting down, in the private room, there was a flowing table, mainly all high-end sashimi and the like. Of course, in order to cater to everyone's taste, the cooked food made of sashimi is naturally indispensable.

How much does it cost?

Zhou Qing and several others were responsible for eating.

Kenichi Yasuda and Maomi Shinozuka were in charge of the talks.

The content of the discussion was about whether Shinozuka Masaomi, as one of the few generals with real power in Shanghai, would be willing to get closer to the Fujita family and serve as Zhou Qinghe's backstage presence.

The overall situation of Shanghai has been decided, and it will soon become a new investment hotspot in Japan. As the money comes, there will be more and more powerful people, mostly businessmen, but who are the people behind it? There are consortiums, warlords, and even the royal family. possible.

However, a military police captain will not be powerful enough in Shanghai in the future, and a general will be enough.

Major generals are not strong at home, but in Shanghai, Major General Shinozuka Maomi is really capable of taking care of things. If Shinozuka Masaomi can become a major general, there will naturally be people who support him in the upper echelons of the country, but after he reaches the rank of major general, the power behind him will no longer be able to push him forward.

So Shinozuka Maomi leaned on Fujita Yuna at that time, wanting to experience the war with Fujita Yuna and get promoted together.

It's just that Fujita Yuna is dead, and he has no way out.

Iwasa Taro succeeded to the throne as the commander of the military police. Shinozuka Maomi could lean on him, but it was meaningless because Iwasa Taro himself was cooperating with the Tojo family.

The Tojo family and the Fujita family are rivals. Even if he licks his face and leans in, it is impossible for the Tojo family to reuse him, Fujita Yumei's old minister.

Therefore, Shinozuka Maomi is sometimes willing to help Zhou Qinghe, because it is useless for him to help Tojo Akio, but by helping Zhou Qinghe, he can gain a good reputation.

As for military ranks, that's basically the end of it. There won't be any major changes. You'll all be major generals until you retire.

Moreover, now that the war in Shanghai has ended, the next days will be full of benefits. His position is very popular, and he will probably be transferred soon. It is better to be transferred to a certain unit as a division commander. It seems that he has been promoted, but in fact It was a hard time all the time.

Without the driving force behind it, it would be impossible to be promoted to lieutenant general based on military merit.

As for the worst part, it is to go to the dispatched army headquarters and continue to work as a staff officer. It is impossible to be the chief of staff. People already have chiefs of staff.

As for the staff officer, who is not a leader and doesn't even fart loudly, he is just sitting on the bench.

"I can't take care of the Shanghai side. I can only hope that Mr. Shinozuka can help Fujita. As for the General Staff Headquarters, I will talk about it.

The commander of the military police is a member of the Tojo family. If the chief of staff is still a member of the Tojo family, will Shanghai still be the Emperor's Shanghai? "

Kenichi Yasuda raised his glass politely:

"It's different with Chief of Staff Shinozuka in Shanghai. Everyone in the General Staff Headquarters knows that Chief of Staff Shinozuka is honest enough, so that the situation in Shanghai will not be dominated by one family.

Chief of Staff Shinozuka is optimistic about Shanghai for the General Staff Headquarters. I think there will be many people speaking for Chief of Staff Shinozuka to help you go further. "

The transaction is naked, but the words are implicit. Shinozuka Masaomi raised his glass, glanced at Zhou Qinghe and said with a smile: "Fujita is such an excellent subordinate. It is my duty to take care of him. Cheers."

"cheers."

The deal was successfully concluded, and Shinozuka Maomi officially sided with Zhou Qinghe. For Zhou Qinghe, he might be able to be unscrupulous and arrogant in Shanghai in the future.

Shinozuka Masaomi put down his wine glass and immediately began to show his value. He looked at Zhou Qinghe: "Speaking of the Tojo family, Fujita, do you know that someone from the Tojo family came to Shanghai?"

"Chief of Staff, please speak."

"General Doi Yuan is coming to Shanghai."

"Tu Fei Yuan?" Zhou Qinghe looked surprised, "I don't know, when did you come?"

"I arrived secretly yesterday afternoon," Shinozuka Maomi said.

"What did he come to Shanghai for?" The question was Yasuda Kenichi.

As a person who worked together in Manchuria and Tojo Eiji, Doi Madoka's family was deeply bound. With the war, they both prospered. They were also promoted to lieutenant generals together in 36 years based on their contribution to Manchuria. It can be said that they were Strong alliance.

The significance of his coming to Shanghai must not be simple.

"It should be an order from the General Staff Headquarters." Shinozuka Maomi thought thoughtfully and said, "I don't know the specific content, but he is in the concession at the moment, and he came to the concession with Commander Matsui. I guess they came before this time. The purpose of coming here may be for the Youth Gang."

Shinozuka Maomi looked at Zhou Qinghe when he spoke, because he knew that the Qinggang people had a close relationship with Zhou Qinghe.

"Use China to control China?" Zhou Qinghe thought of this word keenly: "Do they want to use the power of the Youth Gang to control Shanghai?"

"It's very possible." Yasuda Ken nodded and interjected: "Although Madoka Doi and Hideji Tojo are war fanatics, their views are different from those of some soldiers in the country. Some people think that they can exterminate China, such as shouting The one who occupied China for three months.”

Kenichi Yasuda sneered slightly when he said this. He did not mention the name, because the person who advocated this statement was Prime Minister Lu. It took more than three months to capture Shanghai, and his face was swollen.

He continued: "And Doi Yuan's point of view is to use China to control China. This is the case with the royal family they built in Manchuria. So for Shanghai after the war, they probably also want to support a spokesperson."

Shinozuka Maomi nodded, looked at Zhou Qinghe and said: "This is also what I am worried about, Fujita, the people from the Green Gang had a good relationship with you in the past. It may be because of your relationship, and it may be because the Chinese are afraid of the Japanese.

But now Madoka Doi is here, and General Matsui has also gone there in person. Once the power of the Qing Gang is taken away by them, it will not be so easy for you to do something in Shanghai in the future.

Madoka Doi is an ally of the Tojo family, and Akio Tojo is in Shanghai. "

"Is the chief of staff afraid that the Green Gang members will be controlled by Tojo Akio?" Zhou Qinghe thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, Tojo Akio is prone to arrogance and becomes more powerful. If your Yasuda family wants to develop in Shanghai in the future, it may not be so smooth, right?"

As the chief of staff, Shinozuka Maomi left his daughter with Fujita Kazuki when Yasuda Kenichi came to Shanghai. He knew exactly what Yasuda Kenichi had in mind when it came to this love affair.

In the end, the whole thing was for profit. Without the help of the Green Gang, just relying on a military police captain would be a complete disadvantage against Akio Tojo, who controlled the Green Gang.

You must know that the Tojo family cannot give up this piece of fat in Shanghai.

Zhou Qinghe had to admit that Shinozuka Maomi's worries were justified.

Madoka Doi and General Matsui went to see the Green Gang trio in person. It was hard to say whether these three people would be tempted.

Let alone the other two, he couldn't be sure about Zhang Xiaolin alone.

After all, no matter how you look at it, relying on a general and the famous Doi Madoka is better than him, the military police captain.

This matter is very important. If the Qinggang people are gone, the Yasuda family's First Bank plan will be scrapped.

Kenichi Yasuda frowned when he suddenly heard about this. He could help with anything else, but there was nothing he could do about these two people.

Behind the Tojo family was Mitsubishi. The family was not short of money. Moreover, one general and two lieutenant generals were still at the peak of their power. There were so many people standing behind them that they could not move at all.

"Fujita, is there any way you can think of?" Now Kenichi Yasuda can only place his hope on Zhou Qinghe, who is relatively familiar with the Youth Gang.

"Spend money, or anything else, as long as it can be done, let the people from the Qinggang do things for you, no matter what price you ask."

"This matter," Zhou Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "We have no chance of winning this matter head-on, but I think the three people from the Qinggang may not agree."

"Why?" Yasuda Kenichi's eyes lit up.

Zhou Qinghe paused and chuckled: "I have little contact with the other two, so I don't know. But Zhang Xiaolin, after thinking about it, this person may not necessarily fall in love with them, because he is older and smokes a lot. His condition was very violent and he even had major surgery on his abdomen.”

"Are you saying that I'm afraid of offending you or not saving him?" Kenichi Yasuda understood, thoughtfully.

Zhou Qinghe smiled and nodded: "It's just a possibility, because Zhang Xiaolin knows that the Tojo family and I don't deal with each other. If this changes the direction, it will be a complete slap in my face. But if he really seeks wealth rather than life, Then there’s nothing I can do.”

The matter was uncertain. Kenichi Yasuda thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the two of them have met now. You have to go find Zhang Xiaolin and see what he means."

"Yeah, okay." Zhou Qinghe nodded. Anyway, I had to go find him about the construction site matters, so we happened to be together.

"I'll go after dinner."

But before the meal was finished, a voice came from the door: "Chief of Staff, Captain Fujita, Commander Iwasa sent me to find Captain Fujita and ask him to call back immediately."

The person who spoke was panting, and it was obvious that he ran over and searched for a while before he found them eating.

"You're in such a hurry that you've come here? Then I'll call you back."

Several people in the room looked at each other, and Zhou Qinghe stood up and asked, "Did you say something?"

"I don't know, but a few cars came from the Military Police Headquarters just now, and Commander Iwasa personally received them. He looks like a big shot."

Zhou Qinghe paused, turned around and looked at a few people with surprised eyes, and mouthed: "Tufeiyuan?"
