Chapter 341: Self-righteous Woman
Having said this, Ryosuke Hihara paused.
These words were also said to Keiko Tanaka, meaning to remind her not to always call others monsters when she herself has white hair!
But he didn't want to dwell on this matter any further to avoid increasing internal conflicts.
Although Keiko Tanaka now intends to push Li Qun to take the blame, overall, she still doubts Shinichi Shimahashi and relies heavily on Li Qun.
If they had a falling out over this matter and forced Tanaka Keiko to re-employ Shimahashi Shinichi, that would be counterproductive.
You know, Shimahashi Shinichi's uncertainty is much greater than Lie Qun's.
So he changed the subject and said:
“For example, what exactly is the martial law that Major General Tanino mentioned this time?
We'd better figure it out in advance so that we can better complete the tasks assigned by our superiors."
When Keiko Tanaka heard this, she realized that she had unintentionally touched Hihara Ryosuke's sore spot again.
Because, in a sense, Li Qun is the signboard of Shanghai Mei Bureau. When Li Qun achieves success, Mei Bureau will be proud of it.
Otherwise, you will lose face and even have to take responsibility.
But so what?
The duty of the Special High Section is to correct mistakes and hold people accountable. If Colonel Heishan did not take the blame, then Li Qun would have to take it.
snort!
Even though Ryosuke Hihara is protecting Li Qun now, if Colonel Kuroyama didn't take the blame, he would have sold out Li Qun even if he didn't say anything.
What a selfish and cunning old fox.
After hearing what Ryosuke Hihara said, Ichiro Sato became even more disdainful of Keiko Tanaka.
What a self-righteous woman!
Ryosuke Hihara knows to protect Li Qun, but what about her?
He has a capable subordinate under his command, but instead of using him, he insists on using other people's subordinates.
If she succeeds, the credit goes to others and has nothing to do with her.
If you fail, you have to share the responsibility. It's really like being too clever!
However, Ichiro Sato did not take Major General Tanino's so-called military control or semi-military control seriously.
Because he is a member of the military.
Therefore, no matter how you manage, as long as you don't make mistakes, your position will not change.
On the contrary, he hoped that there would be some changes and that everything would be under the control of the military.
In this way, I won't be restricted by the two people around me anymore.
Thinking of this, Sato Ichiro replied calmly:
“I don’t really care about the issue of martial law.
We will follow what is said above, there is nothing to worry about."
After hearing what Sato Ichiro said, Tanaka Keiko also spoke:
“My understanding is that it is not that there will be any new changes in the management of Shanghai from above, but that there will be major actions in Shanghai.
As for what this operation is, it is definitely top secret, so it is best for us not to pay too much attention to it."
After hearing what Tanaka Keiko said, Sato Ichiro and Hihara Ryosuke both nodded in agreement, secretly complaining that this woman really had an unusual way of looking at things.
Just as Jiang Yifan took the directors of the Commercial Control Bureau out for eating, drinking and having fun.
While Ichiro Sato, Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara were whispering in the office, the cargo distribution channels in Shanghai suddenly became lively.
Both the underground party and the mountain city mobilized financial resources from all directions to buy up as many supplies as possible.
The other businessmen were also confused and didn't know why. Some followed blindly, while others watched in confusion.
This made the merchants in Britain, the United States and France very happy, and they all transported large quantities of goods to meet the demand.
At the same time, on the Huangpu River on the Bund in Shanghai, the Japanese gunboats "Lotus" and "Toba" had sailed to the west bank of the Huangpu River south of the Suzhou River estuary on the night of the 7th, while the "Izumo" had arrived at the Huangpu River bank northeast of the Suzhou River.
Under the cover of night, the Japanese Marines had quietly placed 15-caliber howitzers near the Bund Park, ready to fire at the gunboats of Britain, the United States and France.
At dawn, the phone in Sato Ichiro's office suddenly rang.
"Jingle Bell!"
“Immediately impose martial law throughout the city!
The focus is on the International Settlement and the French Concession. Send troops into the city immediately."
Sato Ichiro picked up the phone and a majestic voice came from the phone, giving orders.
"Hayi!"
Ichiro Sato put down the phone, picked up another one, and issued a city-wide curfew.
In an instant, alarms sounded throughout Shanghai, waking up all the sleeping Shanghai residents.
"It's true!
Xiao Ri attacked Agate Port by surprise! This is courting death! "
Jiang Yifan was awakened from his sleep by the alarm and muttered to himself.
"Rabbit boy! The information is so accurate!"
Xiao Yunlong opened his sleepy eyes and cursed.
"Listen! There's another alarm outside!"
Yuan Cheng quickly sat up and said with a vigilant look on his face.
"Three Stars' intelligence is so accurate! Today is exactly the 8th!"
Pan Guozhan also turned over and sat up, speaking while putting on his clothes.
"Have all the comrades who should be transferred been transferred?"
Yuan Cheng asked worriedly.
"Everyone has been moved away, and we have also notified everyone to stop all activities in the near future!"
Pan Guozhan answered truthfully.
"Luckily there are three stars, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened today."
Yuan Cheng said with a look of fear on his face.
"Boom boom boom!"
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Pan Guozhan got up and went out, opened the gate, and Du Zhen walked in.
"Fang Bo asked us to quickly notify all contact stations to destroy all correspondence as soon as possible and not let the Japanese catch any clues.
Especially the radio station, which needs to be kept in a more concealed place. At the same time, we must be prepared for all emergencies, even the worst-case scenario. Quick! "
After Du Zhen finished speaking, the three of them divided the work and left in a hurry.
"Hey! Why is there martial law?"
Hihara Ryosuke picked up the phone and asked.
"I just received the order, so I don't know the details yet."
Sato Ichiro answered on the phone.
"Hello! Commander Sato! Why is there sudden martial law again?" Keiko Tanaka asked while holding the phone.
"According to the superiors, we may have to send troops into the city as well."
Sato Ichiro answered truthfully.
"Hey! Commander Sato! Why wasn't there any prior notice of today's martial law?"
Li Qun asked while holding the phone.
"I just received the order as well. There may be a major operation today."
Sato Ichiro said briefly.
The only one who didn't make a phone call was Shinichi Shimahashi. Didn't he hear the alarm?
Ugh!
After all, you are still young and don’t know how to worry!
You will receive the task and then complete it successfully!
Ichiro Sato put down the phone and was considering whether he should call Jiang Yifan to remind him. After all, he had accepted a lot of gold bars from this guy, but had never really helped him when he encountered difficulties.
Fortunately, he responded cleverly and was able to pass the test smoothly.
Thinking of this, Ichiro Sato called the Commercial Control Bureau.
