Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth
Chapter 609: Treasure Island Flower Art Troupe
A delegation from the mainland? What kind of delegation needs to be received by the Minister of Transport?
Li Xianshu did not explain it clearly, but just asked him to come to the consulate as soon as possible and talk when they met.
Chen Yang hung up the phone and quickly asked He Yuehua to arrange a car to go to the consulate.
As for the coral ornament of two dragons playing with a pearl, Chen Yang asked her to have someone deliver it to her home.
After all, this thing would attract too much attention if placed in the Minister of Transport's office.
Any normal person can see that this thing is priceless.
Put it in the office, haha, don't attract thieves like Yan Zi Li San.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Consulate, top floor office.
"Knock knock knock." Chen Yang stood at the door and knocked gently.
Li Xianshu looked up and smiled, "Come and sit down."
Chen Yang sat down in front of her and asked, "Aunt, what kind of consolation group do you want me to entertain?"
Li Xianshu flipped through the documents on the table, took out a document and handed it to him, saying, "Don't worry, this consolation group is different from others."
"They are very famous in the local area. Even the local dignitaries love their performances."
"Some people in the military hope that their performances can not only soothe the spirits of the soldiers in China, but also make the Chinese people recognize their performances."
"Originally, this matter was handled by our consulate, but I think you have more experience in this area."
To be honest, before coming to the consulate, Chen Yang subconsciously thought that this so-called condolence group was an organization like a wives' comfort group.
It's simply a bunch of local wives who came here in a group because they missed their husbands in China.
But when he saw the information given by Li Xianshu, he realized that he was indeed wrong.
This visiting group is called the Formosa Flower Art Troupe.
In fact, it is very famous, and its predecessor is the Takarazuka Performing Arts Company.
The Takarazuka Art Company was founded by the famous Japanese artist Kazuzo Kobayashi and is headquartered in Takarazuka City, Hyōgo Prefecture.
Originally, this was a performance group in a hot spring bathing center, similar to the performance troupe in the Hua Xia Bathing Center in later generations.
In early Japanese hot springs, men and women did not bathe together; they bathed separately.
In order to run his own hot spring hotel, Kobayashi Kazuzo recruited some students to form an art troupe to perform for guests after they had finished soaking in the hot spring.
What he didn't expect was that the hot spring hotels all went bankrupt, but the art troupe he organized gained very good reputation.
After sensing the business opportunity, Kazuzo Kobayashi simply opened an art academy to train talents for the dance troupe. As the troupe developed, it gradually became the most influential dance troupe in Japan.
The art troupe's motto is "Purity, Integrity, Beauty". All performers are girls...
Once you get married, you lose the qualification to perform.
The Takarazuka Performing Arts Company was founded in 1913. Starting in 1938, due to the impact of the war and the decline of the local economy, the troupe was forced to disband.
This year, the Navy Department carried out a southward expansion plan and plundered a large amount of resources in Southeast Asia, which played a key role in local construction and greatly alleviated the material pressure on the mainland.
Therefore, on April 13, 1936, as the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Kobayashi Kazuzo proposed to the cabinet to reorganize the Takarazuka Revue.
This proposal also received the support of Cabinet Mine.
The Army Department took the opportunity to propose that the newly formed Flower of Formosa Song and Dance Troupe go to China to give a congratulatory performance.
After all, this is a national treasure-level song and dance troupe.
Originally, the song and dance troupe was divided into two groups, Hua and Yue, which took turns performing.
And now the ones coming are the former Hana-no-Gi-san, as the song and dance troupe has not officially resumed performances yet.
The name used by this dance troupe when it came to China was Formosa Flower, not Takarazuka Revue.
After reading the information, Chen Yang felt a little strange, because besides him, there were also people from the Navy Department who came to welcome the song and dance troupe.
For a song and dance troupe like this, no matter how high its level is, it would not be necessary for the Navy Department to make a grand welcome for it.
"What's your problem?" Li Xianshu asked calmly.
"Aunt, is there any other important person coming this time?" Chen Yang asked cautiously, "Even the Navy Department sent people to greet them. I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
"Smart, you have good observation skills." Li Xianshu said calmly: "Also coming this time is the military envoy, Yukiji Uchiyama."
He is just a colonel, why would so many people be arranged to pick him up? Chen Yang instinctively felt that Li Xianshu was not telling the truth.
Moreover, she seemed to be avoiding something and didn't dare to tell the truth.
"Knock, knock, knock." Before he could ask, there was a knock on the door and Hisao Matsushima pushed open the office door and walked in.
"Chen Yang, go back and make arrangements as soon as possible. I have something to discuss with Matsushima-kun." Seeing Matsushima Hisao come in, Li Xianshu said in a gentle voice.
Chen Yang nodded and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
"Madam, there is actually no need to hide the matter of the red crab from Minister Chen." Matsushima Hisao said in a low voice as he watched Chen Yang leave.
"Hey, Chen Yang doesn't like to get involved in intelligence matters, so don't drag him into this kind of thing."
A helpless smile appeared on Li Xianshu's lips. She also hoped that Chen Yang could pay attention to intelligence work.
But this nephew has made up his mind not to get involved in intelligence work. So, if it is possible not to involve him, it would be best not to involve him.
This will prevent rumors from spreading.
Li Xianshu took a sip of tea and said, "Matsushima-kun, did Red Crab send back any new information?"
Matsushima Hisao said seriously: "Yes, Red Crab sent back information and wants to return to the team as soon as possible."
"Now, the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station has ordered all intelligence teams to hibernate in order to identify internal personnel."
"Except for the radio station that Xu Yuanju personally contacted in Shancheng, all other radio stations remain silent to the outside world."
"It seems that the battle at Jinxian Bridge has frightened them. They will not stop until the red crab is found this time."
Li Xianshu frowned and smiled: "This is a good thing. It seems that we are still ahead of them."
"Although the Mei Agency has not yet identified the traitor, it has already locked on the target."
"What the Military Control Commission is doing now means that they don't even have a target and can only identify step by step."
Matsushima Hisao said, "Madam, Red Crab said that if Xu Yuanju can't find the traitor, he will replace everyone at the Shanghai Station."
"Red crabs are also in this category..."
"Then while the red crab is still useful, follow the information he gave us before, notify the military police, and quickly remove the contact points at the Shanghai station." Li Xianshu's expression was serious and he said, "I want to eliminate half of the military control before they react."
"Hi, I'll arrange it right away." Matsushima Hisao bowed slightly, turned and walked out of the office.
