Chapter 67: Giving Them the Choice

Li Ningyu whispered, "If you don't come up with a transportation plan soon, Minister Chen will be so anxious he'll hang himself."

Chen Yang said calmly, "What's the panic? We need to plan this carefully."

“The last pacification campaign failed. We had absolutely no connection with the Ministry of Military Affairs, yet they still managed to pin the blame on us.”

"If something goes wrong again this time, I won't be able to handle it."

"The entire Economic Department might end up being interrogated by the Special Higher Police."

Li Ningyu chuckled and said, "Sir, you're being too cautious. There are always special people escorting the gold during transport. If anything goes wrong, it won't be our fault."

Chen Yang sighed, "Secretary Li, if you could become the commander of the Joint Special Higher Police, our Economic Division would definitely have far fewer problems."

"Alright, go and call Director Feng up."

“I gave him the transportation plan and asked him to find someone to make a trip to Nanjing.”

Li Ningyu nodded, turned around and went downstairs to Tongji's office to call Feng Jian up.

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and Feng Jian came in with a fawning smile, saying, "Sir, you wanted to see me?"

Chen Yang handed the newly sealed file folder on the table to Feng Jian and said, "Deputy Director Feng, there is a top-secret escort operation in Nanjing that requires the cooperation of our Economic Department."

"I have already completed the transportation plan, and in addition to the normal transportation plan, I have also prepared two backup plans."

"Do you want to make the trip to Jinling yourself, or send someone else?"

Feng Jian said with a bitter face, "Sir, I would like to go, but I really can't get away."

"There are only five people working in the Tongji office right now, and it wouldn't be able to function properly if any one of them were missing."

"Do you think we should arrange for someone from the General Affairs Department, or perhaps Section Chief Zhu from the Second Section, to go?"

Chen Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "The General Affairs Department is keeping an eye on the matter of adding a roof to the supplies warehouse."

"Director Liu has complained to me many times that there are not enough people. Now even he has to go to the construction site to supervise the work."

"As for Section Chief Zhu, he's even worse. He loves to drink and is prone to making mistakes."

"This operation is related to the future financial operations of the Nanjing government, so we must find a reliable person."

"Director Feng, do you have any candidates you would recommend?"

After a long silence, Feng Jian said, "Sir, to be honest, I really can't think of anyone."

"However, if you are magnanimous and don't hold a grudge, I think Deputy Director Xie is indeed trustworthy."

"Besides, he used to work with Vice Minister Wang of the Social Affairs Department, so he's familiar with the people there."

The Deputy Director Xie mentioned by Feng Jian is Xie Rong, who was sent to the dispatch center as a dispatcher by Chen Yang.

It seems that Xie Rong's dispatch center, where he had been for more than half a month, is also starting to panic.

Otherwise, why would they have sought out Feng Jian through connections?

Well, I have to say, this guy is a perfect scapegoat.

"You're quite kind," Chen Yang nodded slowly and said, "Alright, since it was Director Feng who recommended him, a gentleman should also help others achieve their goals, so I'll give him a chance."

“If this matter is handled well, I will issue a note to allow him to return to the Tongji office.”

Feng Jian bowed repeatedly to Chen Yang and said, "On behalf of Deputy Director Xie, I thank you, sir."

"Alright." Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Go and make arrangements so that Xie Rong can set off for Jinling as soon as possible."

Mountain city, Hunan Guild Hall, Military Intelligence Bureau office.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, a black Buick sedan drove into the Hunan Guild Hall.

After getting out of the car, Zheng Yaoquan hurried up to his office on the second floor, carrying a document tucked under his arm.

"Yaoquan, what are you doing here at this time?" Boss Dai was also a little surprised to see Zheng Yaoquan. "Director, I've received intelligence from Shanghai."

"The cherry blossoms have already touched Mount Fuji."

"Before that, Sakura followed him for more than twenty days to confirm that Mount Fuji had not betrayed the party and the country."

That's why I decided to make contact with him.

Boss Dai waved his hand and said, "Yaoquan, since I've entrusted Mount Fuji to you, I will absolutely trust your judgment of him."

"You didn't come here today just to talk to me about Mount Fuji, did you?"

Zheng Yaoquan quickly handed over the document under his arm: "Director, it's about that batch of gold in Nanjing."

Boss Dai took the documents and said, "This matter is no longer under Yu Zuobo's responsibility. You should contact him if there are any problems."

Zheng Yaoquan said, "Mount Fuji has proposed a plan that can help Commissioner Yu resolve the gold issue."

"However, the detailed plan still needs your review, since the Loyal Salvation Army is ultimately in your hands."

Zheng Yaoquan's words are correct; the person in charge of the First Regiment of the Loyal and Patriotic Army Training Corps, which operates in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, is indeed Boss Dai.

To be precise, the Loyal Salvation Army was an anti-Japanese organization formed by Boss Du, who funded it and recommended many members of the Green Gang to join, along with guerrillas active in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

The person in charge is Boss Dai.

However, this organization was mixed with too many hooligans, bandits and other people of bad character.

Therefore, from an outsider's perspective, this unit is indeed a mixed bag.

When Boss Du was around, there was someone who could keep them in check. Now that Boss Du has fled to Hong Kong Island and Boss Dai is in charge in Chongqing, this group has naturally become more and more lawless.

The mountain city sent Yu Zuobo as the war supervisor, hoping to deal with some troublemakers and restore some of the reputation of the Loyal Salvation Army.

Boss Dai didn't say anything, but simply opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, and patiently read them.

After a while, he had read through all of Fuji's plans and completely understood what Fuji was up to.

"Mount Fuji's idea is very good. Giving the choice to the Japanese can indeed clear his name."

"Yaoquan, what do you think?"

Zheng Yaoquan nodded in agreement, saying, "Of course I'll listen to the Director."

"As long as you think it's okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Boss Dai frowned and suddenly asked, "How's the selection going on Zhao Lijun's side?"

Zheng Yaoquan replied respectfully, "We have a few in mind, the better ones being Xie Zhipan, Jiang Anhua, and Bi Gaokui."

"However, some of them are ones that Shen Shuyi is planning to take to Yunnan Station, as you can see."

Boss Dai said in a deep voice, "Here's what we'll do: you tell Shen Shuyi not to compete with Zhao Lijun for the selection of personnel."

"The success of this operation will also greatly damage the prestige of those bastards in Nanjing."

"Let Yu Zuobo go and find a suitable candidate according to the plan proposed by Mount Fuji."

"In Nanjing, let Xiong Jiandong take action. Surely a captain of the Military Intelligence Bureau's action team can handle a dispatcher."

Zheng Yaoquan nodded and said, "The Director is right."

"Then I will do as you say."

"Wait a minute," Boss Dai stood up, looked at the plan in his hand again, walked up to Zheng Yaoquan and said slowly, "Yaoquan, Mount Fuji is a good piece of chess, you must not waste it."

"I want to remind you that there may be many cherry blossoms within the Military Intelligence Bureau, but there is only one Mount Fuji."
