Chapter 597 Why We Lost "Treason? What are you talking about?" Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Yamamoto, it seems that you are still not going to tell the truth." Abe Mitsuhiro took out a document and placed it on the table and said, "Our Expeditionary Forces Inspection Office is different from the Special High Section, the Ume Agency and other intelligence agencies."
"The people who come here are all the elites in the empire, for example, people like you."
When Mitsuhiro Abe mentioned the word "elite", his tone became noticeably heavier, as if he was joking.
"Once you come here, we will serve you well."
"In other words, if there is no real evidence, the first thing you guys will do after you get out is to tear down the gate of the Supervision Department."
"So, we will verify all the evidence before arresting anyone."
"Please tell me where the medicine in your hand came from. Is it from the logistics department?"
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo frowned and said, "Staff Officer Abe, I spent real money to buy those sixty boxes of medicine."
"It's my freedom to decide who to sell it to. This can't be considered smuggling, let alone a crime like treason."
Abe Mitsuhiro sneered, "Did you buy it with real money? Penicillin is a strictly controlled drug. The Empire's own supply is in short supply. How could you possibly buy it?"
"I have a dispatch form here, provided by Mr. Sato from the Logistics Department."
"It clearly lists the distribution units for these sixty boxes of penicillin."
"In addition to the Shanghai Logistics Department and the Army Hospital, there are also the Hangzhou Garrison Command, the 11th Army Logistics Department, and other departments."
"These are all medicines distributed by the Logistics Department to subordinate units. You said you bought them?"
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was stunned when he heard this. The name on the dispatch list provided by Sato Fumitsu was exactly the name of the unit that he had asked him to deliver to.
Those logistics officials also took advantage of him, so he dared to take their share so unscrupulously.
Now, Sato Fumitasu is making a fuss about this? What does he want to do?
"Yes, these medicines are to be distributed to these units, but I have already paid for the medicines, a total of 3 million yen..."
"Colonel Abe, I believe you also know the value of these drugs. I am very sincere in paying so much money."
"Three million yen?" Abe Mitsuhiro shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yamamoto, based on the current evidence, we haven't found any evidence of the three million yen you mentioned."
Yamamoto Kichisaburo quickly said, "Staff Officer Abe, the stub of the bill of exchange is in the hands of my assistant Hisasaku Furukawa."
"As long as you confirm it with him, he will be able to produce evidence to prove that it was I who bought the drugs."
Abe Mitsuhiro looked at the people around him and said slowly, "Okay, since there is controversy about the medicine, let's treat it as doubtful evidence and wait until we confirm it with Furukawa-kun before we say anything."
"Now, we will provide you with some other evidence. I hope you can also have a reasonable explanation."
"This is the telegram you sent to the Black Dragon Society's Asian Affairs Director Takita Yoshihito a few days ago."
"It mentioned that you have drugs and hoped he could help you find a buyer."
"You won't deny that?"
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was stunned for a moment, neither admitting nor denying.
Abe Mitsuhiro picked up the second telegram and said, "This is the telegram from Takita Yoshihito in Shenyang."
"The information above is that he has contacted Major General Bogonev of the Logistics Department of the First Army of the Soviet Red Army."
"The other party agreed to exchange supplies worth $1.7 million for sixty boxes of medicine."
"You won't deny this, will you?"
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo looked at Abe Mitsuhiro and said, "Staff Officer Abe, what do the things you provided have to do with this matter?"
"Even if I sold the drugs privately to the Soviets, it would be smuggling drugs at best. Are you accusing me of treason?"
"This doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
Abe Mitsuhiro raised his hand and said, "So you admit that you asked Takita Yoshihito to contact Bogonev."
"Now that you admit it, it's easy. Let me ask you, did you ask Takita Shohito to sign an agreement with Bogonev to exchange medicine for supplies?"
"You can supply them with medicines for a long time."
"You want to use the Empire's medicine to support the Soviet Red Army. What? Isn't this treason?"
"What agreement? I have no idea what agreement it is." Yoshisaburo Yamamoto looked puzzled, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to have fallen into a huge trap.
"You don't know what the material agreement is?" Abe Mitsuhiro took out the last telegram and threw it in front of Yamamoto Yoshisaburo and said, "This is the telegram sent by the Kwantung Army's Special Investigation Division thirty minutes ago."
"It contains the confession of Takita Yoshihito, the director of the Black Dragon Society's Asian business department."
"It is clearly stated above that after the European battlefield calms down in the future, Germany's target will be the Soviet Union."
"By then, the Soviet Union's demand for medicines will be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than it is now. You told him that as long as he can sign a supply agreement with the Soviet logistics department, you will promote him to be a director of the Black Dragon Society."
"Look carefully, this is an urgent telegram sent by the Kwantung Army using internal code."
"If you still have questions, we will immediately call the Kwantung Army Information Department and ask them to take Takida Yoshihito to Shanghai."
"However, it would be disgraceful to do so. If it becomes known to everyone, I'm afraid the Black Dragon Society's president will also be implicated."
"So, Yamamoto-kun, you're still not going to tell us the truth now?"
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto's expression changed instantly.
That's not right. How could things turn out like this? That's right, he had told Hisasaku Furukawa that in the future Germany's tanks would roll over the Soviet territory.
By then, the other party would definitely need a large amount of medicines. However, when he said this, he had never thought about signing any contract with the Soviet Logistics Department.
Hisasaku Furukawa has always been responsible for contacting Yoshihito Takida.
In an instant, an almost impossible idea came to my mind.
"Abe-kun, I need to see my assistant Furukawa-kun. I have something very important to discuss with him right now."
"Now, immediately, immediately..."
Abe Mitsuhiro looked at the nearly insane Yamamoto Yoshisaburo, waved to call a soldier, and whispered something in his ear.
After listening to this, the soldier bowed slightly to Mitsuhiro Abe, and then quickly left the interrogation room.
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto slowly calmed down and the room fell into a brief silence, but it did not last long.
About ten minutes later, the soldier came back and whispered a few words in Abe Mitsuhiro's ear.
Abe Mitsuhiro's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yamamoto Yoshisaburo and said, "Yamamoto-kun, I think you won't be able to see Furukawa-kun for a while."
"Lieutenant Iwasa just called the Joint Transportation Department, and the temporary head there, Lieutenant Colonel Koichi Nitta, replied that Furukawa-kun has already boarded the train to Shenyang."
"At this time, it is estimated that it has already left the Shanghai Stock Exchange."
