Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Lingzi's fingers gently pressed on Zhou Zhengqing's shoulders, and after a pause she continued, "It was Shen Xilin who took the opportunity of going to the Manchuria Railway to discuss business several times to travel around Manchuria.

The Manchurian Railway Investigation Department noticed that Shen Xilin had contact with anti-Japanese elements in Xinjing and launched an investigation into him. However, it is unknown what miraculous means Shen Xilin used to successfully dispel the suspicion of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department.

Lingzi slowly told in detail some of the situations she had investigated during this period.

She had no idea that Zhou Zhengqing had contacted the higher-level organization through Zhang Xiaolan and had already learned of Shen Xilin's true identity.

"He is an underground party member." Zhou Zhengqing still did not look up, his eyes slightly closed, still squinting comfortably to enjoy Lingzi's massage, as if he was just stating an ordinary fact.

"Ah! Master, how did you know? Could it be that Shen Xilin and Huizi really have a relationship?" Lingzi's big eyes widened instantly, her little mouth opened slightly, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

"I learned about it through other channels. He and Huizi do have some relationship, and I plan to use Shen Xilin. Do you think there is any problem?" Zhou Zhengqing still closed his eyes, his tone calm.

"Master, what do you mean?" Lingzi was very curious about the relationship between Shen Xilin and Huizi, but Zhou Zhengqing didn't continue, and she wouldn't ask any further questions. Anyway, she could go to Yingzi to ask for details later.

"I also admire his business ability. Instead of letting his talent be wasted in an inefficient organization like Maochuan Mansion, it would be better to let him work for our gendarmerie headquarters. What do you think?" Zhou Zhengqing slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lingzi.

"But young master, will Shen Xilin's relationship with the underground party become an obstacle?" A trace of worry appeared on Lingzi's face.

"It doesn't matter. His single-line contact is dead, and now his relationship has been transferred to me. That means he has to listen to me from now on!" Zhou Zhengqing said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Lingzi paused her movements, her fingers resting on Zhou Zhengqing's shoulders, and ripples appeared in her heart.

Zhou Zhengqing looked up at Lingzi's delicate, fair face, his gaze gentle and resolute. He smiled faintly and said, "Lingzi, do you have any concerns?"

"No, Lingzi obeys the young master's arrangements in everything. Whoever the young master wants to use is a blessing for them." Lingzi lowered her head and looked at Zhou Zhengqing, and answered softly.

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Lingzi, shook his head slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Then he turned his gaze back and narrowed his eyes again: "So, I hope Lingzi can come forward and discuss business matters with Shen Xilin. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Hey, Lingzi knows what to do. She will help you keep an eye on him." Lingzi said, tilting her head slightly, thinking for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Then, Master, since you want to do business, do you want to let Shen Xilin participate in the Yingqi family's business?"

"Oh! You reminded me!" Zhou Zhengqing suddenly raised his hand to ask Lingzi to stop massaging, and stretched out his hand to motion Lingzi to come in front of him.

"I've discussed some things with Shen Xilin, and he gave me some bold ideas. I'm still a little hesitant, so I'd like to hear your thoughts. Also, I'd like to know what kind of business the Yingqi family has in Manchuria."

As Zhou Zhengqing spoke, he told Lingzi in detail the business idea that Shen Xilin had previously provided.

As Zhou Zhengqing's maid, Reiko is the eldest daughter of the Fujita family and is highly respected in the Takazaki family.

Due to her special identity, she has a team of experts sent by the Takazaki family under her command.

On weekdays, these people are scattered in various trading companies of the Takazaki family in China and hold important positions.

Because of this, Reiko is well aware of the projects run by the Takazaki family's business.

Listening to Zhou Zhengqing's talk about Shen Xilin's plan to intercept some of Manchukuo's exports to Japan for smuggling, Lingzi was stunned at first, her eyes widened with surprise, and her brows unconsciously frowned.

However, she was knowledgeable and quick-witted after all, and she quickly recovered from her shock. Her brows relaxed slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"Master, Shen Xilin is indeed bold, but I think this is a good idea." Lingzi nodded slightly, bit her lower lip, folded her hands in front of her, and after thinking for a moment, she slowly said: "The trade between Manchukuo and Japan has long been firmly controlled by the companies opened by the imperial nobles.

Our Yingqi family primarily deals in coal and soybeans. Coal, as a vital energy resource, plays a crucial role in industrial production and military logistics, while soybeans are a valuable agricultural resource with widespread market demand.

She paused slightly, looking at Zhou Zhengqing, recalling the details of the trade.

"Steel is a military material. Since the Takazaki family didn't have their own military factories, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and competition, they stayed out of this field and chose to cede the benefits to other families that did have military factories.

In addition, the grain exported by Manchukuo was not limited to soybeans.

Grains like sorghum and corn, while not as exported as soybeans, were still quite significant under the food rationing system. Our Takazaki family also participated in the procurement of these two grains, maintaining a relatively stable business relationship.

There are a few more things that I think you might want to pay attention to, young master.

First of all, there are magnesite and bauxite. These two mineral resources are also produced in Manchukuo. They are widely used in military industry and are important raw materials for manufacturing weapons and equipment.

During wartime, these two minerals were in short supply, and their strategic value was self-evident.

The families that produce these two mineral resources are the Yami clan, where your subordinate Masaki Yami is from, and several other small families. Young Master should be able to get a share of the profits.

The next are cotton and tobacco. Although their production is limited, due to the current situation, the profits from smuggling are considerable.

These two things are directly managed by the Manchuria Railway, so we can also try to negotiate with them."

Having said that, Lingzi paused, her eyes rolling around, as if she had thought of something interesting, the corners of her mouth raised, and she continued with a smile: "Also, Master, you may not know that Manchukuo has been raising pigs on a large scale in recent years.

Because of these live pigs, the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army almost came to blows! Young Master, perhaps you can get involved. If you can take over these live pig businesses, maybe you can make the Army and Navy... "

Lingzi didn't finish her words, but her eyes had already turned into crescents, and her playful look made people laugh along with her.

However, Zhou Zhengqing was a little confused: "What did you say? Live pigs? How could a few pieces of pork cause a fight between the army and navy? It can't be that serious!"
