The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 250 Smuggling

Three days passed in a flash, and Changgu Incheon at the consulate was making rapid progress.

Hase Incheon is now primarily responsible for Shanghai's economy and is extremely urgent to promote this matter and restore Shanghai's economy.

Therefore, Hase Incheon sent the commercial counselor plenipotentiary to make a special trip to Chongqing on his behalf to be responsible for negotiating matters.

On the bottom line, Zhou Qinghe's method was also used to open a small opening for the four major families in terms of contraband. Therefore, after a lot of back and forth in the negotiations, each side took a step back and the negotiation was almost done.

The Commercial Counselor replied via telegram that the negotiation was going smoothly and both parties had reached a tacit understanding.

Hase Incheon was overjoyed and immediately came to the military police headquarters to report the good news.

"Chongqing agreed! The assassinations of businessmen in Shanghai will stop immediately!"

Hase Incheon slapped Zhou Qinghe's arm hard: "Fujita, your idea is still excellent. At a small price, the problem that has been bothering us for a year has been directly and permanently solved!"

"Mr. Hase, I don't agree with this."

Zhou Qinghe said with a smile: "When the Chinese import luxury goods from abroad, they also have to pay us taxes when they go through our port in Shanghai. How can we say it is a price? They are obviously contributing to the military expenditure of our Empire of Japan. .”

"The assassinations were suspended, and they switched to long-term lurking to spy on intelligence. They went all out to develop enterprises, raise funds for the Anti-Japanese War, purchase items, and transfer them to the rear base camp. The first task was to purchase a large amount of cotton yarn and transport it to Chongqing.

"I hope everyone will work hard and make their own contribution to Shanghai's overall economic situation."

This cotton yarn is a controlled item, so I can only ask you to help me find a solution. "

Zeng Haifeng sighed in distress.

"It's difficult." Zhou Qinghe nodded in agreement with a deep expression.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"uh-huh."

It still depends on the military commander's own transportation capabilities.

"You're so mean! Tell me, what's going on?"

"I didn't say, of course the more the better."

Zhou Qinghe did not intend to contact these special envoys. Such people were mascots on the surface. It was okay to buy some luxury goods, but they would definitely not be able to smuggle.

There are many textile factories in Shanghai, and there is a lot of cotton yarn, but the cotton yarn devils who make clothes know that Chinese people will freeze to death without this stuff, so the control is extremely strict.

According to the information we have, the year before the Shanghai Incident, Shanghai's annual tariff revenue was about 40 million yuan, accounting for more than % of China's total tariffs.

Chinachem Hotel.

Zeng Haifeng was sighing with emotion when he saw Zhou Qinghe laughing there.

"You're just free. Tell me. What else does Boss Dai have to say?" Zhou Qinghe asked, raising his legs.

Hase Incheon was mainly worried about the people of the Special Committee. If the two countries were at war, they would not stop sending envoys. Regardless of whether his people went to Chongqing or people from Chongqing came to Shanghai, these were all regarded as envoys.

"What are you laughing at?" Zeng Haifeng was confused, his head turned, and then he realized: "Don't tell me that you know about stopping the assassination? Does it have anything to do with you?"

At the end of the meeting, Changgu Incheon called Zhou Qinghe.

If more is accomplished, then everyone will wait to receive awards from the military. "

Several people in the conference room laughed heartily.

As long as this goal is achieved, I believe it! The military will never criticize us.

After talking here, Zhou Qinghe also received Zeng Haifeng's request to meet.

That is shipped from China's ports to the hinterland of China.

"Hi."

As soon as Zhou Qinghe entered the door, Zeng Haifeng wondered: "Hey, Qinghe, it's strange. Boss Dai sent a telegram saying that the assassination operations in Shanghai have stopped. Without special instructions, no businessmen are allowed to be killed. Why did everything suddenly change?" ?”

"Yeah, it's too difficult. The cotton yarn is big and heavy. This is not a medicine. One person can take out dozens of people's servings while hiding in his body. He sneaks over in front of the Japanese.

How to deliver a cart of cotton yarn? "

Zeng Haifeng frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Winter is here. It is normal for Chongqing to be short of cotton yarn when making military uniforms, but cotton yarn is not good luck. That thing is too big. How conspicuous?"

"Boss Dai has never done this kind of mission before. Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Fujita-kun, the commercial counselor said in the telegram to me that when he comes back this time, someone from Chongqing will come back with him, mainly responsible for purchasing and reporting and registering for us.

If he is caught and interrogated by the special committee people, it will be a troublesome matter and it will also be a loss to his credibility.

"How much?"

So after Shanghai's economy recovers, that is, this year, our goal is to restore the tariff figure to above this level, at least to this level.

"Come, please sit down."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. When the time comes, they just have to choose an address and give it to me."

"I'm not used to it."

Zeng Haifeng welcomed Zhou Qinghe in, sat down on the sofa and sighed: "Hey, after killing for so long, I suddenly stopped killing. I don't know how to do anything anymore."

Hase Incheon personally pulled out a chair for Zhou Qinghe, patted him, and then sat aside. He paused at Commander Miura Jiro, and then said:

"Now we finally see a bright future. Now I will also talk about the requirements of the General Staff Headquarters for us.

When the time comes, they will set up a trading company. You send two military police to help them stand guard, whether it is supervision or protection, don't let some people hurt them, it will not look good. "

It is easy to buy and sell in the city, but if you want to transport it out of the city, and if you want to transport it all the way through the Japanese-occupied areas to Chongqing, how difficult is it to transport it all the way?

"It's good not to kill. It saves you a lot of effort." Zhou Qinghe smiled.

Zhou Qinghe told what happened.

Zeng Haifeng instantly became excited: "Does that mean that in the future we can blatantly transport controlled materials out of Shanghai in the name of transporting luxury goods?

I just said that Boss Dai can’t take the wrong medicine. Qinghe, this step of yours is too clever. All the Japanese senior officials in Shanghai have been dragged into the battle line by you. Who among the military police in Shanghai will dare to say anything from now on? "

"It can't be too blatant. The Japanese don't want to lose face? And they don't know about the defenders coming along the way. These people have to be guarded."

"Yes, yes." Zeng Haifeng nodded repeatedly, his face glowing red: "Then it will be much more convenient to transport supplies from now on. I will buy cotton yarn later. I will give you news later, and you can help me get out of the city."

"Don't go to such trouble. You ask Qinggang to set up a trading company and ask my trading company for goods. You give me the money and my company will buy it. I will help you lower the price. You will definitely get the most cost-effective price. After you buy it, Qinggang will deliver it. In Chongqing, the military police will help escort you to the border of the Kuomintang-controlled area to ensure that you have smooth access throughout the journey."

"Military police escort?" Zeng Haifeng's eyes widened and his voice became a little louder.

His lips trembled, but he still thought less and was still simple.

Zhou Qinghe's approach simply exceeded the limit of his thinking. The Japanese helped deliver goods to Chongqing, which was something he couldn't even imagine!

"How else will we deal with the other Japanese troops coming along the way? I will definitely have to send my own people." Zhou Qinghe said matter-of-factly.

"Isn't this going to cause problems? Military police escort, are you going to Chongqing?" Zeng Haifeng was still a little trembling. He felt that his courage to kill in Shanghai was not that great compared with Zhou Qinghe.

"So what? With the approval document from the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters, if anyone dares to check it, I will have him killed on the spot. The military police are responsible for those who dare to stir up trouble in the army."

"Okay, okay, let's do it. I need the money right away, and time is very tight."

It's already winter, and transportation on the road will take time. If we wait any longer, people will freeze to death.

"You plan the route, take the railway where there is a railway, and we will try to go as fast as possible."

"Japanese-controlled railways?"

"correct."

"."

Zeng Haifeng felt that his little heart was greatly shocked and needed to calm down, so he stopped talking to Zhou Qinghe for the time being.

Just give Zeng Haifeng money for this matter.

Zhou Qinghe came to the rest.

The leather bag trading company that Hong Rose had established long ago can come in handy at this time.

While Zhou Qinghe asked the military police to strictly control the cotton yarn mills in Shanghai, he secretly asked Red Rose to contact the bosses of major cotton yarn mills to request goods.

This penny should be broken into two petals, and whoever offers the lowest price will buy from whomever.

A piece of cotton yarn weighs 50 kilograms. With the money given by Zeng Haifeng, he could buy 5000 pieces by himself. In Zhou Qinghe's hands, it became 7700 pieces.

A piece of clothing costs one pound to save money and two pounds to keep it warm. This is the winter clothing needed for at least 19 people.

192 tons. If you want to send it out of Shanghai by manpower and go through thousands of mountains and rivers to Chongqing, you have to transport it to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

But now, Zhou Qinghe directly asked people from the cotton yarn factory to package and send them to the trading company's warehouse.

The Qinggang people who worked inside changed their appearance, changed the packaging, packed it with other daily necessities, put it on the truck, and shipped it directly from Shanghai Station.

If you put people in winter clothes earlier, they will be more energetic in fighting the Japanese.

On this trip, Zhou Qinghe asked his gendarmerie squadron leader to lead two teams of gendarmerie to solemnly escort him.

On the first run of goods, kill the unsightly ones and clear the road. Then the subsequent transportation will be simple.

The current economic environment in Japan is not good. Although the military police in Shanghai are not deprived of food, they live in Hongkou and have heard many people from China complain about the tragic situation in the country. In fact, they have a sense of crisis and are deeply afraid that the crisis will spread to them one day. .

Zhou Qinghe asked his men to go on business trips, paying 30 yen per person for a trip, which was a month's salary. Those who wanted to go would literally fight.

I went to deliver the goods today, and a group of military police were very happy.

Zeng Haifeng came to the station to watch, but still felt a bit like a dream. "The Japanese help deliver goods to Chongqing, and they still use the Japanese's own railway system. Damn it, I can't even think about it. Qinghe, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced, you are my brother, these days One hundred thousand people wearing cotton-padded clothes have to say hello to you."

"Okay, the things are loaded into the truck. Contact the people over there and they will take them away as soon as they arrive. Don't stay overnight. This will save you a long night and a lot of dreams."

"Don't worry, everything will be arranged properly."

Zeng Haifeng slapped his chest loudly. This was smuggled, just like official transportation. If something goes wrong when it reaches his own territory, Boss Dai will kill someone.

"gone."

Seeing the vehicle coming out, Zhou Qinghe didn't stay still.

In this business, several cotton yarn mills jointly sold 192 tons of cotton yarn, plus two tons of high-end daily necessities. The Japanese got the tax, Chongqing got the cotton clothes, Zhou Qinghe got the introduction fee, Shanghai's economy is prosperous, and everyone has a bright future. s future.

You can tell at first glance that it is a model of win-win cooperation.

A few days passed, and the businessmen in the concession suddenly realized that, alas, there was no news about businessmen being assassinated or warehouses being destroyed in the newspapers in the past few days.

"The assassinations have stopped?"

"Chongqing agents stopped carrying out assassinations? Or were they wiped out by the Japanese?"

The businessmen hesitated and decided to wait, fearing that the Chongqing agents were planning something for the big screen and would kill them, but after waiting for a few more days, everything turned out to be safe.

All of a sudden, I became bolder.

The big businessman began to ask people to ask the reason and what happened.

After asking this question, it was inevitable that Zhou Qing and the military police captain would have to ask questions.

Zhou Qinghe simply asked Zhang Xiaolin to hold a social gathering among businessmen, and then asked Red Rose to attend to deliver unofficial information.

The Japanese and Chongqing have reached an agreement. Businessmen on the list are protected by the military police headquarters and Chongqing. As long as they do not make excessive remarks and do business safely, there will be no security problems.

And in terms of measures.

In the future, when doing business in Shanghai, Japanese businessmen must open an account at Yasuda Bank and transfer funds through Yasuda Bank.

As for Chinese businessmen, they can deposit with Bank of China or Yasuda Bank. This is a must.

The funds are controlled at both ends. If someone checks the accounts, all the ledgers can be destroyed at any time. This is considered a plan for the future.

Incidentally, it also completed the expansion mission of the Yasuda Foundation.

The businessmen group immediately became excited. Protection from both sides, absolute safety, and being able to do business well and make money, who wouldn’t want to?

So I immediately asked Red Rose how to get on this safe list.

Red roses put it simply.

"You each set up a branch. This branch is affiliated with my trading company. All Shanghai trade is completed in this branch, so it will naturally be on this safe list."

"Do I have to pay a handling fee?" The businessman was very arrogant, and he immediately heard that there was something fishy in it.

Red Rose smiled: "Not much, two points."

"profit?"

"Sales."

Hiss, two sales points is not much. Adding up each business, how much does two sales points cost?

The merchants banded together and wanted to negotiate the price, but Red Rose didn't push her. She just said, "If you like it, don't wait until it's too late."

Who is this? So loud?

Don’t you know the combined energy of the people here?

Captain Fujita, it's okay.

After learning about this woman's network from Zhang Xiaolin, the businessmen understood that the money must be paid.

"pay!"

"I hand it over!"

Next are some rules. Don’t try to hide the transaction and fail to report it. Otherwise, the consequences of being caught without paying will be serious.

Agreement reached.

The prosperity of the concession immediately began to rise.

Businessmen can go out for a walk on the street. After finding that nothing is going on for a few days, someone will always have a little thought and want to hide a little of the transaction amount.

As a result, he was caught in the gendarmerie cell for reselling prohibited items.

Do you really think that the Special High School agent Zhou Qinghe spent 30 yen to raise is a freeloader?

If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with alcohol.

It just so happens that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still has the task of seizing a smuggling ship to complete, and these dishonest human sacrifice flags are enough to complete the task.

As for people, they can be released after being frightened and paid.

The prosperity of Greater Shanghai's economy depends on everyone. We can't fight and kill people all day long, and the environment must be relaxed.

Business started, the docks became prosperous, the Qinggang people increased their power, and various docks in Shanghai started importing and exporting around the clock.

Just the import and export data and tax data in the past half month made Hase Incheon smile from ear to ear.

"Shanghai's economic recovery is promising! Fujita, the overall atmosphere in SH City is very good now."

"It's good."

Zhou Qinghe had bills in his hands, and he had to pay for every bill.

He is not the only one to take it. The military police who transport the goods have to pay them errands, which is extra. And in itself, all the military police in the military police headquarters must have bonuses from now on. This is called increasing income.

Let everyone live a good life. Then one day we will no longer have the money and live a poor life, and there will be a gap in our hearts.

The other thing is filial piety. I have to give money to Hase Incheon, which is said to be a gift from a businessman. I am a voluntary donation to the Military Police Headquarters for protecting Shanghai, and the consulate will also get a share.

For Miura Jiro, he said the same thing. The red envelope should be bigger, and he would also give some ginseng, deer antlers, whips and the like. After all, Miura Jiro watches dancing every day and needs to replenish himself.

Good times come to the end of the month.

News came from Chongqing.

Zhou Fohai and Wang Ni officially defected.

The principal was overjoyed. With this defection, Wang had voluntarily given up all the forces in the party to him, which would definitely be good for taking power.

Then I asked Boss Dai to issue a death warrant, and he can be killed now.

After Wang Ni defected, he issued a pornographic message in response to Japanese Prime Minister Konoe's third statement.

The third statement said: “We have decided to use force consistently to wipe out the anti-Japanese Nationalist Government, and at the same time, we will cooperate with people in China who share the same concerns and have far-sighted ideas to move towards building a new order in East Asia.

China must first eliminate its past intolerant ideas, give up its foolish anti-Japanese actions and its prejudice against Manchukuo, and establish completely normal diplomatic relations with Manchukuo.

The three countries of Japan, Manchuria and China should unite with the common goal of building a new order in East Asia and jointly seek to achieve mutual good neighborliness and friendship and jointly prevent republican economic cooperation. "

Wang Ni agreed. He is a man of great insight.

Wang Ni ran to Vietnam. What happened all this way had nothing to do with Zhou Qinghe.

However, the negative impact of this incident was immediately reflected in reality.

HK District, Ying Zuo Residence.

Li Liqun, who rarely went out once in eight hundred years, came to Yingzuo Zhengzhao excitedly.

"Is Chief Ying Zuo here?"

Li Liqun met Yingzuo Zhengzhao under the leadership of his guards.

Yingzuo Zhengzhao was not familiar with Li Liqun. He only knew that Li Liqun was the most experienced agent among their Chinese subordinates controlled by the Japanese.

However, after getting to know Li Liqun, Ying Zuo really didn't see any achievements in Li Liqun, so he had no interest in Li Liqun. He just gave him some conditions to make him work harder. He didn't see him very often, so he didn't expect Li Liqun to come by himself.

"What's your business?"

"A happy event."

"Your Excellency Ying Zuo, we succeeded! With your reward of 50 yen and my persistent persuasion, the big shot I met during the Central Unification period finally agreed to my suggestion and wanted to join the Empire of Japan."

"What big shot?" Yingzuo Zhengzhao was stunned.

He did suggest to Li Liqun that he could spend money to recruit some of his former colleagues. After all, the visitors were all customers and could provide some information.

But he didn't expect that Li Liqun spent all his 50 yen in one go.

Li Liqun smiled: "Your Excellency, Colonel, when the secret review department of the Kuomintang was established, there were three departments, one was the Party Mediation Office, the second was the Secret Service Office, and the third was the Post and Telecommunications Office.

This big shot is as famous as Director Xu, Boss Dai, Director of the Post and Telecommunications Department, and Major General Ding Mocun of the Kuomintang. "

"Major General?!" Yingzuo Zhengzhao was shocked.

"Yes, he manages the Postal and Telecommunications Department and is responsible for reviewing correspondence across the country. He will have a lot of valuable information in his hands. He is an absolute heavyweight!

He had been hesitant, but this time I used 50 yen, and the example that even Vice Chairman Wang was ready to defect to the Japanese moved me to ask him to come forward, and he finally agreed. "

"Come here when!" Ying Zuo couldn't sit still, but for a major general, 50 yen is definitely not expensive!

"At any time, he said that as long as he sees that the Japanese are sincere to him, he will come over immediately."

"You want money? I'll give it right away! Ask him for his account number, and I'll call him now! Tell him to fly to Shanghai now, and I guarantee that the money will be in his account when he enters the concession."
