Chapter 570 You are different, you are a hero
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo said angrily: "He, he is colluding with outsiders. I don't believe that no one cares about this kind of thing."
No one really cares...
Furukawa Hisasaku fell silent.
It is not new that Chen Yang colludes with the National Government and the Red Party. His Xiaotongqiao specializes in selling black market supplies, which can be delivered to all places in the world. It is almost an open secret in Shanghai.
This man is just like the Osaka merchants, he has no bottom line. No matter whether the other party is an enemy of the empire or not, as long as the other party pays, he will sell.
There were also rumors in the Shanghai Stock Exchange that the bandit leader Guoshanhu from Shandong Province did not want to do business with Director Chen and was planning to steal his supplies.
As a result, one of Director Chen's subordinates named Ma Yongzhen brought 300 personal soldiers from Shanghai overnight, rushed into the bandit headquarters after a day and a night, killed the top leader Guoshanhu in front of everyone, and supported the second in command to take the position.
If you don't do business with me, I will beat you until you do business with me.
I have never seen such a domineering person.
After a long silence, Hisasaku Furukawa said, "Mr. Yamamoto, now is not the time to pursue these issues."
"There are still more than 400 tons of supplies in the warehouse that have not been delivered, and there are only five days left. At the current pace, we are simply too late."
"Moreover, you have stopped the trains in the north three times in order to transport supplies, and the Manchurian Railway is also very dissatisfied."
"If you can't quickly restore transportation and get the supplies back to the mainland, we will have funding problems next month."
Hisasaku Furukawa was right. The distance from Shanghai to Hubei is more than 1,000 kilometers. The theoretical speed of a train is 60 kilometers per hour, but due to various external factors and road conditions, it can actually only reach 50 kilometers per hour.
This means that it takes at least one day for the materials to be loaded onto trucks from Shanghai and arrive in Hubei, and two days for the round trip.
He can only transport 80 tons of cargo every day now, and there are only five days left before the deadline. If he fails to complete the task, it would be dereliction of duty.
This is not a small crime, at least Yamamoto Yoshisaburo definitely cannot bear it.
"Professor Sato, do you think it would be possible if we added another train?"
Hearing what Yamamoto Yoshisaburo said, Sato Masanobu was obviously stunned for a moment, and he propped up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Mr. Yamamoto, theoretically it is possible, but the actual situation is very complicated."
"Now we have added two trains from Shanghai to Shandong Province via the Longhai Line to Zhengzhou and then to Hubei."
"His route may affect our route. For now, although the transportation pressure is heavy, there will be no mistakes."
"If you insist on adding another line, I can't guarantee the consequences,"
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo stood up and said, "Professor Sato, I only need five days."
"If I can deliver all the supplies I have to the front line, I will resume the previous route. Do you think this is feasible?"
Sato Masanobu looked at the model on the table and hesitated for a while before saying, "Based on the current transportation pressure, I think three to five days should be manageable."
"The premise is that Director Chen will not add any more transportation routes. If he adds another one, I think something serious will happen."
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That shouldn't happen. The pressure of transporting materials is on me, and he is just assisting. There is no benefit for him to add another trip."
"Then I'll leave all this to Professor Sato."

Shanghai, Japanese villa area.
In the study, Chen Yang sat opposite Li Xianshu like a good child. Li Xianshu had a gloomy face and no one knew what she was thinking.
Chen Yang was also very depressed. Li Xianshu called him over late at night and asked him to go to the study after dinner. He stayed there for a long time, but Li Xianshu didn't say a word. He didn't know what Li Xianshu was up to.
"Something might happen to Yoshisaburo Yamamoto." After a long silence, Li Xianshu finally spoke.
"What happened? He's fine now." Chen Yang asked cautiously.
"You don't have to pretend. He has decided to add another train to transport supplies. Isn't this what you want to see?" Li Xianshu rubbed his eyebrows, feeling helpless.
"Chen Yang, tell me the truth, have you been plotting against Yamamoto Yoshisaburo from the beginning?"
Chen Yang touched his nose and said after a long while: "Not that long ago, maybe a few months ago."
"How many months? That means you should be ready to lure him into the trap from the moment he wants to take the Ping-Sui Line and the Ping-Tianjin Line from you."
Li Xianshu was a little surprised and asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
It turns out that there are times when Li Xianshu doesn't understand.
Chen Yang took a breath and said, "In fact, his failure was due to greed."
"I have no objection if he wants to take over the Guanzi course, and I have no objection even if he wants to take over the Pingsui Line and the Pingjin Line."
"The problem is that he was too greedy. He thought that if he could operate two small routes, he could then operate all the routes in China. But he had no idea how complicated it was."
"In early February, Commander Gangcun replanned a new combat plan against China because of the failure of the Changsha Campaign."
"I happened to be there when Chief of Staff Sadaichi Yoshimoto came to Shanghai to meet with Mr. Sato. I knew that Commander Okamura planned to give up facing Changsha directly and attack Yichang from the side, and then encircle it from three sides."
"At this time, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo wants the Pinghan Line and the Shanghai-Guangdong Line. If these two lines are taken away by him, our sale of military supplies will definitely be affected, and many people in the logistics department will be dissatisfied."
"Since he wants to blame everyone, he must bear the consequences."
There was no need to explain it in detail. Just by hearing this, Li Xianshu was able to connect the dots. With a long sigh, Li Xianshu said, "Yamamoto Yoshisaburo is such a fool. It's not unfair for him to lose against you."
"Okay, go back early and don't sleep here today."
Uh, Chen Yang suddenly felt a little disappointed and actually wanted to drive him away.
Li Xianshu seemed to see through Chen Yang's dissatisfaction and said lightly: "Shizuka received an order to rush to Hankou overnight to assist Chief Shibayama of the Takenori Agency in deciphering the radio information from Hubei."
"Number 76 is full of mistakes. I don't know how you manage your subordinates."
Chen Yang's heart trembled, and he instantly thought of Colonel Lin Zhuo, the deputy director of the Second Department of the Military Control Commission who defected with the military code book.
This guy was actually taken to Wuhan by the Japanese. Could it be that there was a traitor in the Shanghai Military Control Station?
He had just received an order from the Military Control Commission to stop the train en route yesterday.
After leaving the Japanese villa area, Chen Yang made an excuse to get rid of Takada Jun'aka and confirmed that no one was following him within a kilometer. Only then did he put the news that there might be a traitor at the Shanghai Station into the dead mailbox for contacting Song Jiayu.
The next day, he received a message from Song Jiayu in secret language.
"Please do not interfere in the affairs of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Station. Please protect yourself. The Party State is not short of elites, but you are different. You are a hero."
The author's original intention in writing the novel was to have fun, but now he has been forced to be cautious. He only dared to write some things after checking the information. I wonder if those who question transportation can accept this setting.
I will make up for the two chapters I owe in ten minutes...
