Quartermasters can also fight the devils

In Shanghai, at the Japanese Naval Club, Saburo Watanabe saw the translated telegram sent from the secret cable room and immediately went to the office of Mr. Ono, the chief of the agency.

"Your Excellency, Director, we have received a telegram from Buddha beads." Saburo Watanabe respectfully handed the telegram document board to Ono Akira.

Ono Akira took the message board and read it carefully three times, then put it down and said to Watanabe Saburo: "Sakamoto-kun is indeed a senior intelligence agent of the Empire of Japan. His team is making rapid progress, which is very good."

Seeing that Ono Akira was in a very good mood, Watanabe smiled and reminded him, "Yes, Mr. Director, Sakamoto is indeed very outstanding. What about the 10,000 yen he mentioned in the telegram? Should we send someone to deliver it now?"

After hearing Watanabe Saburo's reminder, Ono Akira also took another look at the content of the telegram, then smiled and said to Watanabe Saburo: "Watanabe-kun, 10,000 yen, haha. This is such a huge sum of money."

Saburo Watanabe didn't quite understand what Ono meant. Was he unwilling to pay? Indeed, 10,000 yen was a huge sum of money. But if he didn't give the money, what would happen to Sakamoto? Would he not complete the mission?

Seeing Saburo Watanabe's confusion, Ono Akira said to Saburo Watanabe with a smile: "The money is for Sakamoto-kun. It is very important to complete this mission. Sakamoto-kun, now it has reached the last moment, and we cannot delay Sakamoto-kun's plan. So, in order to let Sakamoto-kun get the money faster, I will send a telegram to the Imperial Embassy in Nanjing, requesting the embassy to lend Sakamoto-kun 10,000 yen or a check. Then, I will tell Sakamoto-kun about this and tell him to go to the embassy to get the money, but tell Sakamoto-kun that the money was borrowed from the embassy, ​​and we will return it to the embassy in time. I believe Sakamoto-kun will understand what I mean. Hahaha."

Saburo Watanabe immediately understood what Chief Ono meant. It seemed that the greedy Chinese man would not have the chance to enjoy the 10,000 yen.

After reading the telegram sent by Ono Akira, Sakamoto Takashi took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and at the same time, he also lit the paper with the telegram translation. He didn't ask the telegraph operator Hirata to clean it until he saw the telegram translation burn to ashes. He changed into a decent set of clothes and went to the Japanese Embassy in Nanjing.

He was very clear about what Ono said in the telegram, that is, the matter had to be done, and the money could be given temporarily, but he, Takahiro Sakamoto, would eventually take the money back and show it to the Chinese. Sakamoto agreed with Ono's idea from the bottom of his heart. If it were him, he would not be willing to give the huge sum of 10,000 yen. The Chinese was just daydreaming.

The Consul General and First Secretary of the Embassy, ​​Suma Yakichiro, looked at Sakamoto Takahiro who was standing upright in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. Sakamoto, I have a very good relationship with your chief, Mr. Ono Akira. He sent a telegram to our embassy requesting assistance. There is no problem with this. Do you need cash or a check? I can give you your passport in a moment."

Takashi Sakamoto immediately bowed and said that he could just give himself a check, and directly stated that he could just give himself a check that could not be cashed.

Suma Mikichiro nodded and immediately asked the embassy staff to handle the matter.

Two days later, the Japanese clinic in Zhenjiang finally officially opened for business, and Zhang Wenwu was "honored" to be invited to attend the clinic's opening ceremony.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations. Let's go to the casino tonight to have some fun and celebrate." Zhang Wenwu laughed and congratulated Chen Mingzhang who was standing beside him.

Chen Mingzhang also responded with a smile on his face and clasped his fists. Then he came to Zhang Wenwu and whispered, "Brother Zhang, it's okay to go to the casino today, but not too late. I have to accompany Kojima Taijun to do some work tomorrow." After saying this, he still looked reluctant.

Zhang Wenwu's heart moved, so he whispered to Chen Mingzhang: "Mr. Chen, are you going to Jinling Prison again? I have been looking for a way to get money from that Korean these two days, but they haven't given me an accurate reply yet."

When Chen Mingzhang heard Zhang Wenwu say that there was no news about the debt collection, he couldn't help but say with even more disappointment: "Brother Zhang, I don't think debt collection is so easy to handle. If it really doesn't work, just forget it. We haven't lost anything anyway. As for whether we will go to Jinling Prison tomorrow, I really don't know. Kojima Taijun didn't tell me either, but just asked me to go with him tomorrow morning to do it." He felt that since Zhang Wenwu hadn't given him any news for two days, he probably wouldn't be able to do this, so he persuaded Zhang Wenwu to just give up.

Zhang Wenwu felt that although Kenzo Kojima did not tell Chen Mingzhang where he was going, he was still certain that Kenzo Kojima was going to meet Jiro Miyamoto. It seemed that the Japanese were preparing to take action. This time Kenzo Kojima went there probably to tell Jiro Miyamoto the specific time of action and asked him to be prepared.

As for how the Japanese rescued people, Zhang Wenwu had already figured it out. They must have let Jiro Miyamoto pretend to be sick and take the person to the clinic for treatment. As for why Jiro Miyamoto was allowed to go out for medical treatment, it was because Jiro Miyamoto was detained with the identity of a Korean and was convicted of rape, so he was not a serious criminal. The prison also has regulations for foreign prisoners. When necessary, foreign prisoners can request treatment from doctors in their own country. This is a "privilege" and also the government's care for foreigners.

After attending the clinic's opening ceremony, Zhang Wenwu returned to the division headquarters and went directly to Liao Qian's office in the Political Department. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Liao Qian: "Deputy Director Liao, I just learned that Kojima Kenzo will take Chen Mingzhang out again tomorrow to do some business. I guess they will still go to Jinling Prison. This means that the Japanese are about to launch a rescue operation."

When Liao Qian heard Zhang Wenwu say that the Japanese were about to take action, he became excited: "Damn it, the Japanese are finally going to take action, that's great." Ever since he learned about the Japanese's purpose from Zhang Wenwu two days ago, he has been looking forward to the Japanese taking action quickly so that he can catch the Japanese red-handed and make a great contribution.

"Well, I guess that Kenzo Kojima went to meet Wu Xingliang this time to tell him the time of action and ask Wu Xingliang to be prepared. As for the method of action, I think Wu Xingliang should pretend to be sick and then take the method of seeking medical treatment outside to get him out." Zhang Wenwu directly stated his judgment. He believed that Liao Qian must have figured this out as well.

Liao Qian nodded in agreement. Indeed, he had thought of this as well. It was easy to think of since the Japanese clinic was right there. So he said, "Well, I thought so too. So, I plan to ask Station Chief Chen Shuming to dispatch personnel to completely surround the clinic on the day when the Japanese take action. At the same time, we will send people outside the prison and set up surveillance along the way. As long as they dare to move Wu Xingliang to other directions, we will arrest him and catch him red-handed."

Zhang Wenwu was relatively supportive of Liao Qian's plan. It could be said that as long as the Japanese left the clinic, they would be completely under his surveillance.

Kojima Kenzo walked out of the gate of Jinling Prison with Chen Mingzhang. He was very happy. Just now, he and Colonel Jiro Miyamoto had explained in detail that the rescue plan was scheduled for the afternoon of two days later. Colonel Jiro Miyamoto also clearly stated that he would start pretending to be sick as soon as the time he set arrived, and designated the Japanese clinic in Zhenjiang to treat him. When the time comes, he will take people to bring Colonel Jiro Miyamoto out of the prison, get in the car, and directly deal with the prison guards who followed him, and then escort Colonel Jiro Miyamoto back to Shanghai. The retreat route has been arranged by himself, and it seems that this operation will be very smooth.

Chen Mingzhang was sitting in the car heading back to Zhenjiang City, thinking in his head: Why did Lady Kojima come to collect debts from this Korean again? It seems that the money owed by this Korean to Lady Kojima is not a small amount, otherwise Lady Kojima would not be so anxious to make two trips to collect the debt. Otherwise, should he ask Brother Zhang to make more efforts?

At night, in the private room of Hongyun Casino, Chen Mingzhang miraculously did not go to the table to gamble, but sat on the chair next to him with Hu San, drinking tea. He had to wait for Brother Zhang to arrive, and first talk to Brother Zhang, asking him to work harder to find connections and try to collect the debt from the North Koreans.

"Brother Zhang, come over and have some tea." As soon as Zhang Wenwu entered the private room, he heard Chen Mingzhang's voice.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you come to the table to play for money?" Zhang Wenwu walked over to Chen Mingzhang and sat down and asked with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, I'm waiting for you here. Today, Kojima Taijun went to see that Korean again. I think that Korean should owe Kojima Taijun a lot of money. Why don't you ask the prison about it and see if you can get the money out? In this way, Brother Zhang can also get a lot of benefits." Chen Mingzhang explained the situation anxiously. He really hoped that Zhang Wenwu could get money from the Koreans. He didn't have much money, and if he could get money from the Koreans, he could get some of it and get Kojima Taijun's praise. Who knows, Kojima Taijun might even give him more money.

Zhang Wenwu pondered for a moment, then nodded to Chen Mingzhang and said, "Okay, then I'll find more ways to get the North Korean's money out. Master Chen, wait for my good news. We brothers can make money together. When the time comes, Master Chen will definitely benefit from it, hahahaha."

After Chen Mingzhang got Zhang Wenwu's guarantee, he was also very excited. He rubbed his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you for your care, brother Zhang, haha." Then he said a little worriedly: "Brother Zhang, you should speed up your side too. If we are too slow, Xiaodao Taijun will get the money by herself, then we will have worked in vain. The longer the night, the more trouble we will have."

After hearing what Chen Mingzhang said, Zhang Wenwu suddenly had an idea. Yes, this useless Chen Mingzhang gave a very good reminder.
