Zhang Yunhe took the paper and looked at it. A minute later, he looked up at Chen Xiangling and said, "I can raise all the types and quantities of sulfa and medical supplies you need. Weapons and ammunition are not a problem either!"

"But... this batch of goods is worth over 200 million. Can you afford it?"

Chen Xiangling's heart skipped a beat. She feigned composure and said, "As long as you can raise the money, that's great. When can you raise it all? Give me a specific time so I can raise the money too!"

Zhang Yunhe said, "For one week, you should prepare 236 million. This is after I rounded off the deduction for you!"

"Okay, I will definitely find a way to raise this money within a week! Then I'll leave this matter to you. If I have raised all the money, I will come to you again and I won't bother you anymore!" After saying this, Chen Xiangling stood up and was about to leave.

Zhang Yunhe stopped her: "Wait a minute!"

"Ah, do you have anything else to say?" Chen Xiangling asked.

Zhang Yunhe pointed to a chair, motioning her to sit down, and then said, "I have another business deal. Do you want to hear about it?"

"What business?" Chen Xiangling asked.

Zhang Yunhe thought about it for a moment and said with some embarrassment, "This deal needs to be kept secret. It will bring huge benefits to you, but only you can know about it. You can't even tell your superiors or your husband's relatives. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will be a disaster for me... Forget it, you're just a woman, it's impossible for you to keep your mouth shut!"

Chen Xiangling frowned. "You can't even tell my closest relatives and superiors?"

"Forget it, go away!" Zhang Yunhe waved his hand. He planned to inform the underground party under the identity of an anonymous person, give the intercepted Japanese weapons to the other party, and let them go to the place he pointed out to pick up the weapons.

Chen Xiangling left with doubts.

……

Shanghai, Japanese Naval Club.

This is a Japanese spy den.

As night falls, neon lights flicker on the streets and the bells of bicycles and rickshaws ring incessantly.

In front of this Japanese naval club, Japanese women in kimonos were walking in and out with Japanese military officers on their arms.

The maid led a lieutenant colonel to the door of a room, opened it, bowed, and said, "Sir Yamada, this is it!"

Yamada Akimi took off his shoes and walked in, and the door was closed by a Japanese woman in a kimono.

A middle-aged man in a suit was drinking in the room. When he saw Yamada Akimi walk in, he immediately stood up and bowed, "Mr. Yamada, you're here!"

Yamada Akimi, head of the Japanese Navy Intelligence Department in Shanghai, holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and serves as director.

He knelt down and bowed to the middle-aged man in a suit: "Mr. Xuecun, please sit down!"

"Hi!" Yukimura Shinya bowed again, then sat down after Yamada Akimi sat down.

Yamada Akimi picked up the wine flask, poured himself a glass of sake, and asked, "Mr. Xuecun, do you have any information to report?"

"Yes, sir!" Yukimura Shinya leaned forward and immediately reported, "I received news that three 10,000-ton cargo ships loaded with weapons and ammunition arrived at the concession dock from Clown Country the afternoon before yesterday. I found out from the Concession Customs that the owner of the cargo is a Clown Countryman named James!"

"You may not know that this James was the military attaché of the Joker in the Concession Consulate last year. At the end of last year, he was forced to retire and return home because of an affair with his boss's wife!"

Yamada Akimi's eyes narrowed: "Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true. I have found out where this man is. He lives in room 505 of Huizhong Hotel. I saw that he has gone to Richard Hotel, so I hurried to report to you!" said Yukimura Shinya.

"The Clown Country? They transported such a large amount of arms here. Is it because James himself wants to do arms business, or is it because the Clown Country wants to sell arms to Jiangzhou? Do they want to take advantage of both the east and the west?" Yamada Akimi asked with a frown.

Yukimura Shinya said, "Mr. Yamada, I haven't found out about James's background in Clown Country yet. I guess you'll need to find a way to contact someone there. I also understand that James has already entrusted the Huizhong Hotel to book a cruise ship ticket to Clown Country for tomorrow morning!"

"Leaving tomorrow? So he has already shipped such a large batch of arms? So soon?" Yamada Akimi asked in confusion.

Yukimura Shinya nodded and said, "He must have made his move, otherwise he wouldn't have left so quickly. But I haven't found out who took over this batch of goods yet! I checked the dock management office to see who has rented the large warehouse these days, but I found an alias and no such person exists!"

"Is this batch of arms still in the warehouse at the dock?" asked Yamada Akimi.

"It should still be there. At least as far as I know, from the day the freighter arrived at the port until now, after the unloaded batch of arms entered the warehouse, the warehouse door hasn't been opened! But the Western guards in the warehouse area are heavily guarded, and outsiders can't get close!"

Yamada Akimi held up a glass filled with wine and said, "So, only this James knows who the client is? And their deal wasn't just concluded these past two days, but was completed before James left last time!"

"It should be!" said Yukimura Shinya.

"We must never let these 30,000 tons of arms fall into the hands of the Jiangzhou Army or other armed forces hostile to us!" Yamada Akimi said and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

A quarter of an hour later, Yamada Akimi drove to Matsui's residence.

After the briefing, he met Matsui who was listening to the piano.

Matsui had short, sparse hair and was wearing a kimono, kneeling in front of a low table, drinking while listening to a Japanese woman playing music.

"Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yamada Akimi is here!" a soldier reported to Matsui.

Matsui waved his hand, and Yamada Akimi hurried over to salute.

"Yamada-kun, what's the matter with you coming to see me? Is there any progress in the bank robbery case?" Matsui asked.

Yamada Akimi immediately reported to Matsui the information that Yukimura Shinya had inquired and investigated.

"What? Thirty thousand tons of arms shipped from the Clown Country have arrived at the concession dock. Damn, what does the Clown Country want to do? Does it want to be an enemy of our empire on purpose?" Matsui said angrily.

Yamada Akishimori said, "Commander, I believe the Clown Nation is simply trying to make money. Regardless of their motives, we absolutely cannot allow this batch of arms to reach our hostile forces. It would be best to find a way to intercept it after it leaves the concession!"

"In addition, we must also capture the person who took over this batch of arms and cut off this arms trade channel!"

Matsui asked, "Where is this James right now?"

"We should be in the Richard Hotel's dance hall now!"

"Someone come here!" Matsui shouted.

An officer walked in: "Sir!"

"Call Doi from the Anti-Smuggling Division of the Military Police Headquarters and tell him that Yamada Akimi will be looking for him in half an hour. Tell him to gather the men and prepare the weapons. He must follow Yamada Akimi's orders in everything!"

"Hi!"

Matsui then said to Yamada Akimi, "Go find Doi. This operation must be quick and efficient, but it's best not to cause any noise or conflict. Open James' mouth as quickly as possible and find the person who conducted the arms deal with him!"
