Chapter 1366 Great things can happen!
In Shanghai in January, the night wind is chilly.
The norima curtains hanging in the Haruzuru Izakaya fluttered in the night breeze.
Hou Pingliang got out of the cab and walked around to the side of the car to open the door.
Cheng Qianfan got out of the car, and the two bodyguards in the car behind immediately held up umbrellas to shield him from the wind.
"No need."
The bodyguard put away his umbrella, but did not leave. Instead, he called two more brothers over, and the group of people surrounded and protected Brother Fan as he moved forward.
Cheng Qianfan suddenly stopped and looked. The white lanterns in the pub were swaying in the night wind, looking like dead person lanterns.
……
"Yume, your Cheng Jun is here."
"Yumesae, what are you doing?" Eri Hirakawa knocked on the sliding door frame.
After a burst of light but urgent footsteps, the sliding door of the Japanese-style room was opened.
"Yumasae." Hirakawa Eri looked at Kita Yumasae, opened her mouth in astonishment, and murmured, "Are you going to get married?"
Kitamune was wearing a beautiful kimono, holding a small red umbrella in the house, and also wearing her very precious earrings.
The most important thing is that the waist belt is obviously raised, which makes Kitamune's breasts seem to be fuller.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Eri Hirakawa pointed at Kitamune's chest.
"Don't worry about it!" Kita Yumesae glared at Hirakawa Eri.
Eri Hirakawa snorted. She really thought she didn't know. She had heard from others that 'Mr. Cheng' liked women with bigger breasts.
"No one is competing with you." Hirakawa Eri said, "I won't like a Chinese."
"Mr. Cheng is a friend of the Empire." Kitamune was unhappy and argued, "Even the young master of the Kawada family is friends with him."
"Besides, Mr. Cheng also has the name of the empire. He is truly one of us."
Eri Hirakawa pursed her lips and stopped arguing with Kita Yumesae. In her opinion, Kita Yumesae was just fascinated by the pretty face of 'Mr. Cheng'.
"Yumesae." Cheng Qianfan's eyes lit up when he saw Kita Yumesae holding a small red umbrella and twisting her waist to greet him. He exclaimed, "I've heard of peach-faced spring breeze before. Seeing Yumesae today, I know that the ancients were not deceiving."
Hirakawa Eri saw that Cheng Qianfan's words made Kita Yumesae so happy that she almost didn't know which way was which. She shook her head and walked over, "Mr. Cheng, Master Kawada and Master Sakamoto are waiting for you."
Then he tapped Kitamune's head and said, "Hurry up and take Mr. Cheng to the box."
……
The wine is half full.
Atsuto Kawada was in high spirits and started dancing, while Eri Hirakawa sang and danced with him.
"Good!" Cheng Qianfan pulled his right hand out of Kitamune's kimono bra and applauded.
"Mr. Miyazaki, come, come." Atsuto Kawada waved and shouted to Kentaro Miyazaki.
Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly. He first hugged Kitamune and kissed the woman hard on the forehead. Then he stood up and jumped into the venue, clapping his hands, jumping and dancing, and danced with Kawada Atsuto.
While dancing, Cheng Qianfan pulled up Sakamoto Ryouno who was whispering with a geisha. The three Japanese screamed and danced wildly. During this time, Miyazaki Kentaro took the time to pull Kita Yumesae over, hugged the girl and kissed her, then proudly put the dizzy Kita Yumesae back carefully and gentlemanly.
"Yumsae, you guys go out." Cheng Qianfan took out a small and exquisite crystal earring from his pocket, reached into Kita Yumsae's bra, then sniffed his hand and said with a smile.
Kitamune, with a blushing face, stood up obediently, while Eri Hirakawa and the other geisha looked at Atsuto Kawada.
"Go out." Kawada Atsuto nodded and said.
The two girls then stood up and, together with Kitamune, bowed to everyone before leaving.
……
"Major Kawada." Cheng Qianfan looked at Kawada Atsuto with a serious face, "I have a business deal here, I wonder if you are interested?"
Kawada Atsuto was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively, "Not interested."
He pointed at Miyazaki Kentaro and asked Sakamoto Ryouno, "Sakamoto-kun, who is this person?"
Sakamoto Ryōno laughed and pointed at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "This is Miyazaki Kentaro, it's Kentaro."
Miyazaki Kentaro failed in his prank and was beaten by Kawada Atsuto. He smiled and begged for mercy, saying, "Master Atsuto, don't blame me, don't blame me."
As he spoke, he showed a serious expression, "Kawada-kun, I need a batch of Type 38 rifles, as well as some Nambu pistols and other standard equipment of the Imperial Army."
Hearing what Miyazaki Kentaro said, Kawada Atsuto's expression turned serious, "Is it necessary for the Special Higher Police to take action?"
However, as he spoke, he shook his head and said that if the Special High Police needed it for their operations, Miyazaki Kentaro would not have to come to him, as the Special High Police would be able to get some guns and ammunition on their own.
So, this can only be Kentaro Miyazaki's own business.
"Mr. Miyazaki, the arms business..." Atsuto Kawada was about to persuade Kentaro Miyazaki.
The arms business does have huge profits, but the risks are also great. Even he would not easily touch the arms business, let alone Kentaro Miyazaki who was just a commoner of the empire.
"It's not for my personal use." Cheng Qianfan said, "It's Wang Tianhai who wants to buy a batch of arms."
Then he saw Kawada Atsuto's brows furrowed even more tightly, and knowing that Kawada Atsuto had misunderstood, he explained, "It's not a large-scale purchase, it's just a standard weapon for a reinforced platoon."
After hearing what Miyazaki Kentaro said, Kawada Atsuto's expression relaxed.
"What are the intentions of Wang Tianhai's people purchasing so many weapons?" He was a little surprised. If it was said that Wang Tianhai's people needed to purchase weapons on a large scale, he would not be surprised. However, the weapons of a reinforced platoon made him a little strange.
"Chu Mingyu wants to bribe Liang Hongzhi's pacification army generals." Cheng Qianfan didn't keep it a secret and said directly, "This batch of weapons and equipment was sent over in the name of New Year's goods."
"The commander of the First Division of the Pacification Army, Li Mingzuan?" Kawada Atsuto asked after a moment's thought.
"As expected, he is the wise son of the Kawada family!" Cheng Qianfan looked at Kawada Atsuto with admiration and said in praise.
He was truly amazed.
"That's not hard to guess." Kawada Atsuto shook his head. "I heard Yano talk about your situation in Nanjing. Since Chu Mingyu arranged you to handle it, there must be a reason. It's not hard to guess who this person is."
"The equipment for a reinforced platoon includes fifty Type 38 infantry rifles, ten Type 14 Nambu pistols, ten boxes of grenades, and a basic amount of ammunition," said Cheng Qianfan.
Kawada Atsuto couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this, Cheng Qianfan asked Kawada Atsuto, "Mr. Kawada, are you in trouble?"
"The timing is wrong." Kawada Atsuto said, "There were indeed weapons stored in the warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters."
He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "However, the weapons were already shipped to the Watanabe Regiment a few days ago."
Watanabe United?
Is this to deploy well-maintained weapons to strengthen the operational forces and prepare for military operations?
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved. Could it be that the Japanese army's sweep of the Eastern Road in Southern Jiangsu was under the charge of the Watanabe Regiment?
……
"In that case, I'll think of other ways." Cheng Qianfan nodded, and then he sighed regretfully, "I was thinking about the rare opportunity to help the Kawada family earn some pocket money."
"How much is Wang Tianhai willing to offer?" Kawada Atsuto asked with an interested look.
"A Type 38 infantry rifle is priced at one hundred silver dollars." Cheng Qianfan said.
"The price is too low." Kawada Atsuto shook his head. "A brand new Type 38 infantry rifle costs 150 yuan. Even if the guns in the warehouse are used, they are well maintained on a daily basis."
He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "It will take at least 120 silver dollars to avoid a loss."
Then, Atsuto Kawada saw his good friend Kentaro Miyazaki looking at him with an inexplicable look of surprise.
"Why?" Kawada Atsuto looked puzzled. "I checked the weapons in the warehouse. They are in good condition. The price of 120 yuan is very sincere."
He said with some anger, "Would I deceive my friends?"
"Duren, that's not what I meant." Cheng Qianfan explained anxiously, even calling him 'Duren' directly.
Atsuto Kawada didn't mind. In fact, he had always asked Miyazaki Kentaro to call him "Atsuto", but Kentaro Miyazaki refused. At first, he insisted on calling him "Master Atsuto". Later, under Atsuto Kawada's strong dissatisfaction, he was only willing to call him "Kawada-kun". Then, only when he was drunk or in a hurry would he blurt out "Atsuto", which made Atsuto Kawada more satisfied.
He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, wanting to hear what explanation Kentaro could give.
Just at this time, Sakamoto Ryouno, who had been listening quietly on the side, spoke.
"Atsuto." Sakamoto Ryano looked at Kawada Atsuto, then pointed at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "Miyazaki-kun must mean that the weapons in the military police headquarters warehouse are a no-cost business."
Atsuto Kawada was shocked. To be exact, he looked at Sakamoto Yosano in surprise, and then looked at Miyazaki Kentaro.
Kentaro Miyazaki was also surprised, and he looked at Sakamoto Ryouno with great surprise.
"Sakamoto-kun." Cheng Qianfan sighed, "Today I know that you have great talent in economics."
"It's not that exaggerated." Sakamoto Ryano smiled, "I just know you, Miyazaki-kun, better."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qianfan pretended to be angry.
"You said it was a small business to earn some pocket money for Atsuto. However, I know you are always the best to your friends. The pocket money you mentioned must be a big income." Sakamoto Ryouno said.
As if he had discovered the secret of making money, Sakamoto Ryonno was quite excited. He said, "If it is just a normal supply, then this business will naturally not be profitable."
He smiled and said, "I just thought that a business with no capital is the most profitable."
Sakamoto Ryano smiled and pointed at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Well, this is consistent with my understanding of you, Miyazaki-kun."
"How can you smear someone's innocence out of thin air?" Cheng Qianfan argued, and then he said something like 'A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way', and 'The weapons in the warehouse belong to the empire. There's nothing wrong with using the empire's weapons to do things for the empire'.
Sakamoto Ryouno laughed and pointed at his friend and laughed.
"I know this." Kawada Atsuto also said happily, "Mr. Zhou Zhangshou's Kong Yiji."
Then the three of them burst into laughter.
……
Just laugh.
Kawada Atsuto patted the tatami in frustration and said, "What a great opportunity, I missed it."
He smiled bitterly, "What a coincidence."
Kawada Atsuto looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said in annoyance, "The Watanabe Regiment will set out from Kunshan Bacheng for a sweep in three days. The Ota Battalion has suffered a lot of damage in the previous battles, so Commander Ikeuchi will temporarily loan the weapons in the warehouse to Ota Yuichi."
"This is against the rules." Cheng Qianfan was also a little annoyed and said with a frown.
In fact, he was filled with ecstasy.
He had planned for a long time with Comrades Piano and Flying Fish, especially analyzing whether the Military Police Headquarters could possibly grasp the information of the Japanese army's mopping-up operation, and even if the Military Police Headquarters had the information, whether Kawada Atsuto knew about it, and in the high probability that he did not know about it, how to induce Kawada Atsuto to take the initiative to understand the information without leaving any trace, and then how to get the information out of Kawada Atsuto's mouth while avoiding possible suspicion to the greatest extent, and then how to deal with the aftermath, etc.
And so on and so forth. Cheng Qianfan, Lao Huang, and Lu Dazhang, the three ace agents of the Special Operations Group back then, put a lot of thought into their plans.
Cheng Qianfan didn't expect that the plan had just started and hadn't even officially begun, but Kawada Atsuto actually casually mentioned the Japanese army's mopping-up plan.
This feeling of "finding something without any effort after searching for it for a long time" makes people sigh at first, and then -
ecstasy.
"Ota Yuichi was a close follower of Commander Ikeuchi, and Commander Ikeuchi likes him quite a lot." Kawada Atsuto explained, and he chuckled, "Actually, Watanabe doesn't like Ota Yuichi's troops very much."
"Ota Yuichi is the tentacle that Lord Ikeuchi extends to the front-line combat troops." Sakamoto Ryōno, who had just been silent, said.
This statement is concise and to the point.
Kentaro Miyazaki and Atsuto Kawada looked at Sakamoto Yosano. Both were surprised, then they smiled and gave their friends a thumbs up.
This friend of mine, who is usually quite silent and spends most of his time immersed in literary creation, sometimes turns out to be quite clear-headed.
"This is too unfortunate, eh." Cheng Qianfan sighed again, "Why are they raiding at this time..."
As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Not too early, not too late, but at this time."
"The Jiangkang of the Red Party's New Fourth Army had previously left the Su'nan East Road. However, intelligence shows that the Red Party has established the so-called New Jiangkang, attempting to continue to deceive the Chinese people to fight against the locust army." Kawada Atsuto said, "The military has decided to sweep the Su'nan East Road and strangle this group of resistance forces in the cradle!"
"Take advantage of the opportunity to carry out a sweep before the New Year and kill all the Chinese so that they won't be able to celebrate the New Year!" Cheng Qianfan said with a grim smile.
Then he started to worry again, "It's just that I gave Chu Mingyu a guarantee, and I thought..."
He shook his head. "For now, the only solution is to give it to others."
……
"Chu Mingyu is only willing to pay one hundred silver dollars at most?" Kawada Atsuto suddenly asked.
"If I try to fight for it," Cheng Qianfan said, "it would be a waste if I don't make money from those stupid guys."
He gritted his teeth and looked at Kawada Atsuto, "The long gun is 150 yuan, and the pistol will also be priced according to the market price. Just say that the price is set by the Military Police Headquarters."
Cheng Qianfan sneered, "I don't think they would dare to object."
"Fifty well-maintained Type 38 infantry rifles, ten Type 14 Nambu pistols, ten boxes of grenades, and ten thousand silver dollars." Kawada Atsuto said gritting his teeth.
Cheng Qianfan was about to speak when he saw that Kawada Atsuto's eyes seemed to glow red.
"No, twenty thousand silver dollars!" Kawada Atsuto said harshly, "In addition, we will provide three Taisho 11-type light machine guns."
Cheng Qianfan pondered.
Sakamoto Ryouno spoke again, "The cost of the Taisho 11-type light machine gun is about 1,500 yen, and three light machine guns cost 5,000 yen. Atsuto's price is not too high."
Cheng Qianfan was shocked. He looked at Sakamoto Ryouno as if to say:
How do you know so much about the prices of weapons?
Sakamoto Ryouno smiled slightly. These were all the materials he had collected for his literary creation.
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan looked at Kawada Atsuto, "I will force Wang Tianhai's people to accept this price."
However, he frowned immediately, "Isn't it in the warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters..."
"The soldiers have them." Kawada Atsuto frowned slightly, but still said. He looked at his good friend Miyazaki Kentaro and said seriously, "But, in this case, the price is inevitably..."
"Of course I won't make it difficult for you, Atsuto." Cheng Qianfan interrupted Kawada Atsuto and said directly, "30,000 silver dollars! However, it must be equipped with two bases of ammunition."
He grinned, "As for Wang Tianhai, I will force them to agree!"
"Okay!" Kawada Atsuto was delighted, "I'll contact Funaki Naoya later."
Three Taisho Type 11 light machine guns were sold for 20,000 silver dollars, which was a huge profit!
Cheng Qianfan also nodded, "If it's Mr. Funaki, then this can be done."
He had heard Kawada Atsuto mention Funaki Naoya, who was from Osaka.
