Chapter 537 Mitsui Apologizes
Two days later, the four met again.

The faces of several people were exhausted. It took two days to investigate so many things, and they had to keep them secret. Everyone was very tired.

"I checked here. The sewers are not good. They have taken precautions in the sewers and have early warning equipment. I almost ran into one, and the sewers are closed with horizontal iron bars to prevent people from sneaking in from the sewers."

Mr. Peng said to report first. Fortunately, he was very careful. The Japanese thought about the leaks in the sewers. The Hongkou warehouse was too important to them. They had been operating in Hongkou for many years, so they had already taken precautions.

Sneak into the warehouse from the sewers, this way does not work.

"Teacher Peng has worked hard."

Yuan Yida nodded slightly, the sewer is only one direction, if it can be done the best, they can't think of other ways.

"I found the garrison guarding the heavy artillery here. They don't belong to the Hongkou Warehouse. They are the seventh squadron of the newly formed Yoshizawa United. The squadron leader is called Nakamura Magi."

Teacher Weng followed up and said that he took the reporter to investigate, but failed to enter the warehouse.

Fortunately, the people interviewed knew that they were journalists and they were very friendly and provided a lot of important information.

There is a regiment of defenders in the entire Hongkou warehouse, and the number is very large.

But not all of them are members of this alliance. There is a squadron and a squadron that do not belong to them.

The team guards the important materials of the headquarters, including valuables such as radio stations.

They didn't say anything about the squadron, but Mr. Weng found out the origin of this squadron. They belonged to the newly formed artillery wing and guarded their belongings here. Mr. Weng immediately judged that they were the squadron guarding the heavy artillery.

There are many artillery wings in the Japanese army, but few are newly formed. The only one formed recently is this heavy artillery wing that they value.

This batch of heavy artillery is very important. Without heavy artillery, there is no so-called heavy artillery regiment. With this batch of heavy artillery, they can even be called the first artillery regiment, and they are worth sending heavy troops to guard.

"What's the situation with this squadron?"

Yuan Yida immediately asked, Teacher Weng shook his head and said: "We have not interviewed anyone in this squadron. According to others, this squadron eats and drinks in the warehouse and never goes out. At present, except for the name of their squadron leader, there is no investigation. Be aware of other people's situation."

The Japanese army really attached great importance to this batch of heavy artillery, and they had to send so many people to guard it on their own territory.

They didn't guess right this time, and there were many struggles within the Japanese army.

This batch of heavy artillery was given to the new heavy artillery unit, but there were many division heads who were jealous of this batch of heavy artillery. The heavy artillery unit was also afraid that their lifeline would be forcibly taken away by others, so they sent so many people to watch directly.

Everyone wants a good weapon, especially this kind of big killer on the battlefield.

"Teacher Yun, where are you?" Yuan Yida asked.

"I checked, and the food and other supplies in the Hongkou warehouse are delivered by someone specially. There are Japanese and Chinese people who deliver the food, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they have served the Japanese for a long time."

"They can enter the warehouse, but they are only allowed to deliver to the designated location, and they must have a pass. Only those who have delivered food before can enter, and newcomers are not allowed to enter."

Teacher Yun inquired in detail, and originally wanted to become a member of the food delivery team and sneak into the warehouse.

Looking at it now, this road is not open. The Japanese also took precautions. They are not those who often deliver food to them, and they are not qualified to enter the warehouse.

A Hongkou warehouse is like a seamless egg, which makes it impossible to start, and it is indeed a bit of a headache.

Yuan Yida didn't speak, took out a pen and paper, and kept writing.

This is his habit, he likes to write out all the clues first, then stare at these clues, and finally find a breakthrough.

He ruled out the sewer first. No one could enter it, and there was an alarm device. Once they were found inside, they would not even have a chance to escape.

The guard squadron was no good either, they never went out and had no chance to break through from within, and Yuan Yida didn't have that much time to wait.

"Mr. Weng, Mr. Yun, I still need to work hard for you. Immediately find out the eating situation of Nakamura Makoto and his squadron. Are they in the cafeteria in the warehouse, or are they cooking alone?"

Yuan Yida stared at the food delivery area, suddenly raised his head, and assigned a new task.

There are quite a few people in Nakamura Makoto, they are a squadron with more than 100 people.

So many people must have their own cooking soldiers. Their purpose is to guard the heavy artillery, and they usually don't leave the warehouse they guard too much.

Even next to the heavy artillery in the warehouse, there may be their people.

This batch of heavy artillery was originally intended for them. In the warehouse, they could get familiar with these heavy artillery in advance.

"it is good."

Teacher Yun and Teacher Weng nodded together. It seemed that Yuan Yida still wanted to deliver food as a breakthrough.

It is true that this point is easier to break through, but the dishes they send will also be inspected, and new faces are not allowed to enter. The two of them can't think of a way for Yuan Yida to send so many explosives in and detonate them.

"ASAP."

Yuan Yida ordered that the second batch of heavy artillery is estimated to be arriving in Shanghai soon, and they will unload such weapons when they arrive at the dock and send them to the warehouse, and the dock will definitely deploy heavy troops so that no one will have the chance to destroy them.

Besides, he doesn't know when the ship will arrive or where it will unload, and his manpower is not enough to go to the dock to destroy it.

Ishihara Trading Company and Mitsui sat across from Chu Lingyun, and there were only two of them in the room.

Ezaki Ka stood outside the door, guarding them.

"Ishihara-kun, I am really sorry for what happened last time. It has been found out that it was the subordinates of Beizhen who made the decision without authorization. Beizhen has already given me an explanation and removed the original squadron leader on the pier."

Mitsui came to apologize. Before that, he suggested that Ishihara Trading Company unload the goods at his own dock.

It turned out to be a good thing, the first time someone unloaded it, they confiscated it all.

Even if he has a thick skin, he still feels sorry for it.

Ishihara Hengke not only helped him get rid of Hoshino, but also gave him a sum of money every month.

It is not his style to take money and do nothing, let alone he dare not.

He sent someone to investigate the goods that were seized by Shiyuan Trading Company this time, but even without him, they could easily get all the goods back.

It is said that General Matsumoto of the Gendarmerie Command personally ordered this time, and the Gendarmerie sent people directly to retrieve the goods.

The relationship between Ishihara Heng and the Gendarmerie Command is indeed very unusual.

"It's okay, the goods have been brought back, and I have nothing to lose."

Chu Lingyun smiled, but Mitsui was a little ashamed. It is impossible without loss, and human affection is also loss.

Ishihara Hiroshi asked General Matsumoto for help, which was tantamount to using up a favor.

Human affection can never be valued.

"I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future. I have sent people to the pier and greeted their people. As long as the ship of Shiyuan Trading Company arrives at the pier, it will never be embarrassing."

Mitsui did indeed do this, not only the Mitsubishi Pier, but also the piers of several empires were all ordered by him.

Whoever dares to embarrass him again, he will look good.

"Let's talk about it later."

Chu Lingyun replied casually, while Mitsui remained silent. He understood that the other party did not trust him that much.

Indeed, if it were him, someone who had promised him something would turn out to be a big problem, and he wouldn't trust the other party so much.

The damn dock guard not only made him lose face, but also reduced Shi Yuanheng's trust in him.

"Once again, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Mitsui lowered his head slightly, this time it was indeed not Ishihara Hiroshi's responsibility, he followed his advice, but this happened.

An apology cannot increase Ishihara Heng's trust, but at least it shows his attitude.

"Mitsui-kun, don't worry about it so much. I have to thank you for this matter. I heard that you specially sent someone to help me get the goods."

"It should be. It is my responsibility to make you wronged, and I can't help you."

Mitsui replied quickly, but it was a pity that they didn't ask him to help at all, so they asked for the goods back.

"You can't say that, after all, you sent someone over."

Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. The more he behaved like this, the more ashamed Mitsui felt.

"It's true that I didn't do a good job this time. You can rest assured that this will never happen again."

Mitsui stood up, bowed deeply, and left.

Chu Lingyun didn't care about his apology and apology.

Mitsui is a politician, no matter how polite he is on the surface, as long as his interests are affected behind the scenes, he can stab you.

The Japanese have always been hypocritical, but when they hold a knife in their hand and want to stab you, they still smile.

But it can make Mitsui feel a little guilty, and it won't do him any harm.

Chu Lingyun personally sent Mitsui to the gate, and Mitsui was outside, bending down deeply again.

I have to say that the Japanese really attach great importance to etiquette, and the Chinese have learned a lot about Confucianism.

Even consider themselves orthodox.

"Section Chief, it seems that Ishihara-kun is not really angry."

In the car, Esakiga whispered to Mitsui Amu, although he was not inside, but standing at the door, the voice inside could be heard somewhat.

The firm is not an intelligence department, and the sound insulation is not so good.

If it is really strict, it will arouse the suspicion of Mitsui old fox.

"He is a smart man, instead of being angry, he put more pressure on me."

Mitsui sighed slightly, while Ezakika was a little confused.

Why, if people don't get angry, the head of the class is unhappy instead. What's the reason for this?
"Forget it, you don't understand. It's a good thing he didn't go into politics, but into business. Otherwise, his achievements in the future will definitely not be small."

Mitsui smiled, and only after he came out did he realize that although the two of them didn't say anything today, and Ishihara Hiroshi's attitude has always been very good, they guided him invisibly and made him feel a lot of guilt towards Ishihara Hiroshi.

You know, if a person feels guilty about someone else, it's easy to try to make it up.

Ishihara Heng is very good at insight into human nature. This ability is very terrifying. If he really enters politics, his future achievements will definitely not be low.

Even if he was in business, Mitsui did not despise him.

It's a pity that Ishihara Heng is too young and his background is too weak. At least he has no chance to threaten his family.

The ancestors of their Mitsui family were also aristocrats, but later declined, and changed from warriors to businessmen.

The ancestor of the earliest family only opened a clothing store, but this ancestor was very shrewd and expanded the clothing store continuously, eventually turning it into a department store.

Afterwards, several generations of shrewd family owners seized the opportunity well and eventually developed into today's business giant.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Mitsui family is not easy for ordinary people to surpass. Ishihara Hiroshi’s starting point is too low. The future Ishihara family may be able to become the Ishihara Zaibatsu, but it will take a long time.

Two days later, Iwai Mansion.

"We found out that Makoto Nakamura and the others did not eat in the warehouse cafeteria. They cooked for themselves. The warehouse sent them a special food supplier to deliver food once every three days."

Teacher Peng said in a low voice, it was not easy to find out this point, they spent a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to find out.

"Who is delivering the food?"

"It's a Chinese named Pan Youbo, but he worked for the Japanese when he was young, so it's hard to instigate rebellion."

Mr. Peng replied that Pan Youbo was in his 50s and had worked as a comprador for a Japanese businessman more than 20 years ago. Later, when the Japanese businessman returned to China, he continued to help the Japanese.

In the eyes of the Japanese, a person like him is far more reliable than a newcomer.

It is impossible for Japanese suppliers to be all Japanese. They will selectively use Chinese people. A businessman like Pan Youbo, who has served the Japanese for a long time, is the best candidate.

"He is the breakthrough point. Immediately investigate everything about him. I will ask the Military Intelligence Department to assist."

Yuan Yida was very decisive. Pan Youbo provided food for the defenders guarding the heavy artillery, so he would definitely be able to get in touch with the people of Nakamura Masashi.

No matter how many years he has worked for the Japanese, and no matter whether he has a country in his heart, this task must fall on his head.

"I see, I'll check right away."

Mr. Peng understood what Yuan Yida meant. What Yuan Yida said was to seek the assistance of the Military Intelligence Department, not the organization.

Explain that what happened this time will definitely violate the organization's regulations.

He is not rigid, he handles special matters, these heavy artillery are too harmful, and it is okay to go too far when it is really necessary.

For the sake of the country, so many people have sacrificed, and when it is really important, the benevolence of a woman must not be there.

"As soon as possible, these heavy artillery won't be in Shanghai for long, and we don't have much time."

Yuan Yida warned that this egg finally allowed him to find some uneven places, and the next step is to see if this place can be used well to pry open the whole egg.

Fortunately, he made preparations in advance. When he made his idea on the vegetable delivery person, Yuan Yida went to a vegetable field and bought a whole field of winter melons.

These winter melons are about to ripen and are now fully formed.

At night, Yuan Yida quietly dug a hole in the wax gourd, put the explosives wrapped in oil paper into it, and then sealed the hole.

The appearance of the winter melon has not changed much.

Yuan Yida didn't pick the wax gourds, let them grow naturally, and the holes of the melons would grow together soon, at most there were some scars on them, which looked ugly.

Yuan Yida did not dare to put too much explosives in each wax gourd, otherwise the weight would be wrong and the stuffing would be easily exposed.

Fortunately, what he was looking for was TNT explosives, which can complete the task without requiring much.

　Thanks to the First Guards Tank Brigade for another reward of 500 starting coins.
