The Spy

Chapter 155 Learned Japanese
Just take a photo and you get two gold bars?

"After completing the mission, I will help you get back the money your relatives cheated you of."

Shengshan said, Yao Chang's breathing quickened again. He was cheated of a lot of money this time, a full three hundred dollars.

His total debt was close to one thousand dollars, but this was the principal. He also had to pay interest, so after paying it off the total would definitely be more than one thousand dollars.

If not for this, his life would not be so tight. Although he had no rank, he still had a salary of more than ten dollars a month.

The salary and benefits in the Military Intelligence Department are good, and you can earn around two hundred dollars a year.

But he is not alone, he has a family to support, and his child has not been in good health since the last surgery and needs nutritional supplements.

He and his wife can suffer a little, but his children cannot suffer.

His wife had to take care of the children and couldn't make money, so he was the only one who had to do it. At the end of the year, he could only pay off a small part of the debt. If he continued like this, it would take him at least ten years to pay off all the debts.

Nothing can happen to their family in the next ten years, otherwise they will be doomed.

This is also the sadness of the little people.

He was considered lucky, at least he had a job. Families worse off than theirs would be destroyed if they encountered any trouble, and they would have no ability to resist at all.

Yao Chang couldn't bear the temptation of being able to pay off all his debts at once.

The creditor was already dead, which meant that he didn't have to pay back the three hundred dollars. In this way, he could pay off all the debts and save the interest.

From now on, we can eat something good at home, even meat.

Make some new clothes for my wife or something.

He was in the Military Intelligence Department, so he naturally understood the consequences of taking the money, but he no longer cared about that. Who made his life so hard now?

If he hadn't been in the Military Intelligence Department, no one would have looked for him and he wouldn't even have had this opportunity.

This time we did it to pay off the debt, but what about next time?

Once he makes more money, he will take his wife and children and escape to the concession, Hong Kong, or even Japan. Then the Military Intelligence Department will be unable to do anything to him.

"Wait for my news."

Yao Chang grabbed the gold bars and camera and stood up. Shengshan smiled even more happily.

You see, it is not that difficult to persuade people from the Military Intelligence Department to defect. The key is to grasp their weaknesses. As long as you find the weaknesses, you can drag them down.

He was very satisfied with his work this time.

In the evening, he sent a telegram to Shanghai to report the good news.

He knew that the team leader and section chief were under a lot of pressure recently and needed good news from him.

His guess was correct. After receiving the information, Aoki couldn't sit still. He immediately called Kawashima and went to Kawashima's house.

Kawashima's home is entirely Japanese style.

"Section Chief, Shengshan sent back a message saying that he has successfully persuaded one person to defect and will soon be able to get Xu Qingyun's photo."

"That's great."

Kawashima immediately took the telegram and read it carefully. There was not much content, mainly reporting the breakthrough progress.

The person who instigated the rebellion had the opportunity to take pictures. After he took the pictures, Katsuyama would immediately develop them and give them to Kawano, asking them to scout the target and wait for the opportunity to take action.

The failure of the last operation was due to insufficient preparation and too hasty action.

This time, Kawashima is fully prepared and believes that the Imperial Warriors will not let him down.

"Section Chief, as long as we can get the photos, I believe Kawano and his team will succeed. With this insider, we can recruit more people and find out everything that happened before."

Aoki said with a smile, he was also in a good mood. The section chief was under a lot of pressure, and he was also under a lot of pressure.

The above punishment is mainly borne by the section chief, but he is the section chief's most trusted confidant. If something happens to the section chief, no matter who takes over, he will not be able to continue to work as the intelligence team leader.

It’s okay for other groups, but he is the head of the intelligence team. Once he is replaced, death will be waiting for him.

Any new section chief would not tolerate others having so much information about hidden personnel, and would definitely get rid of him as soon as possible.

To put it another way, even if he didn't die, he knew so many secrets that it would be impossible for him to gain true freedom.

If something goes wrong in the future, he will most likely be used as a scapegoat.

"Tell Shengshan that he did a great job this time. After killing Xu Qingyun, I will help him get credit."

Kawashima smiled and nodded, as if he saw that his crisis was resolved and he was making continuous contributions.

Xu Qingyun did capture quite a few of them, but he was still a human being, and so young. If they were given a chance, they could completely destroy this man.

"Hay."

Aoki accepted the order and returned to send a message, asking Katsuyama to keep up the good work and complete the mission as soon as possible and return triumphantly.

Yan Ming acted quickly and the rickshaw company was soon reopened. He personally found a manager who was capable enough to take charge of the entire company.

Xu Zhanjie was haggling. He made a huge request and wanted to expand the number of license plates to 5,000 rickshaws.

Previously, they only had license plates for 150 vehicles.

This is more than thirty times the amount.

The department in charge of rickshaws was frightened by him. There were already quite a few rickshaws in Nanjing, and they were trying to control the total number so that there wouldn't be an overabundance of rickshaws and people wouldn't have to go hungry in the end.

Too much stuff is not a good thing.

Apart from the vehicle, there is no other requirement to own a rickshaw. Anyone with the strength can run it, making it the first choice for many low-income people.

In any era, this kind of strenuous and difficult work is the last resort for the people.

In addition to rickshaws, there are also dock coolies, who mainly carry goods. In this era, mechanical capabilities are average, and no matter whose goods arrive at the dock, coolies are needed to help transport them to the warehouse.

The cargo cannot remain on board the ship forever.

If Xu Zhanjie really wants to put 5,000 rickshaws into operation, it will definitely be a disaster. With so many extra rickshaws at once, the rickshaw market in Nanjing will definitely be in chaos.

But Xu Zhanjie is not an ordinary person. Although his military rank is not high, he has great power.

They didn't dare to offend him, so they could only find ways to explain and try their best to convince Xu Zhanjie.

Through their explanation, Xu Zhanjie finally understood that the market is not what they imagined, and you can't just go up as much as you want.

If he really has 5,000 cars, then he will not make money but lose money, and everyone will lose money.

Eventually he will become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of others.

Only then did he understand why Xu Qingyun insisted that three hundred cars were enough. Three hundred cars were mainly to serve them. It was enough to have spies, but not everyone had to become their spies.

With three hundred vehicles, as long as they can reach more places, it would be like they have spies all over the city of Nanjing.

But the license plate cannot be limited to 300 cars. The more cars they have on their license plate, the more money they can borrow.

This company doesn't contribute a penny and relies entirely on outside sources.

The amount of money that can be loaned for three hundred cars is at least three times less than that for one thousand cars.

Xu Zhanjie finally understood Xu Qingyun's intention. He could reduce the number of license plates from 5,000 to 3,000, then from 3,000 to 2,000, and finally to 1,000.

After the price was reduced to one thousand, he would not give it even if he was beaten to death.

This is the bottom line, but he made a promise to those people that they would only take on 300 cars and no more.

The license plate gives them this amount first.

No one believed this promise, but unfortunately Xu Zhanjie was determined. Not only did he come himself, he also mobilized many of his connections to put pressure on them, and finally got the other party to agree.

The license plates for one thousand vehicles were finally obtained.

This is good for him and the entire intelligence department, and Xu Zhanjie is very positive.

"Qingyun, the license has been issued. Now I know that doing business is not that easy."

Xu Zhanjie called Xu Qingyun and said with a sigh that it took him three days to get a license. "Thank you, teacher. Leave the rest to us."

Xu Qingyun responded with a smile. If he were to apply for the license, it would be quite troublesome and would definitely cost money, a lot of money.

There is a difference between public and private representation.

The Military Intelligence Department has made a lot of achievements recently and has the confidence.

Yan Ming has already found a good relationship with the bank, so once the license is issued, he can get a loan immediately. He has also negotiated with the company that produces rickshaws, and a preliminary agreement has been reached.

They didn't want to agree to this payment method, after all, it's safer to have the money in their own pockets.

Although it costs an extra six thousand dollars in two years, what if I can’t receive the final payment?

Unfortunately, Yan Ming is very strong-willed. If you dare not agree, the factory will not be able to open.

Three hundred vehicles were not a lot, and the Military Intelligence Department was willing to sign an agreement giving them ownership of the vehicles, so they finally had no choice but to accept.

"Okay, get started as soon as possible. Also, be careful when selecting drivers so that they don't get taken advantage of by the Japanese or others, especially the Reds."

Xu Zhanjie nodded. The idea was originally proposed by Xu Qingyun. Before this, he had never thought that he could do a business worth tens of thousands of dollars without spending a penny.

Xu Qingyun must have a way to manage it well.

However, the rickshaw company is under the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Department, and no other people are allowed to sneak in, otherwise it will be their responsibility.

"Teacher, rest assured. I will ask Yan Ming to strictly control the situation and will not let anyone with ulterior motives get in."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said, if the Japanese come, they will be arrested. As for the others, it depends on the situation.

"I trust you guys to do your job."

Xu Zhanjie replied with satisfaction that Xu Qingyun was very smart and Yan Ming was not bad either.

Yan Ming is a talent discovered by Xu Qingyun in Tianjin. Xu Zhanjie has admired Yan Ming very much during this period. He did not expect that there is still such an elite buried in Tianjin Station.

With Yan Ming's ability, he is qualified to be a team leader at the headquarters.

Unfortunately, the Military Intelligence Department is still too small. Unless Xu Qingyun is promoted, Yan Ming cannot be promoted either.

But the more elite soldiers and generals you have, the better.

"Team leader, we discovered that Shi Qingbin has a mistress."

Xu Qingyun had just returned to the office, and before he called Yan Ming, he took the initiative to report the situation.

"Outer room?"

"Yes, he was very careful and didn't go into the outer room these days, but he went there yesterday."

"Have you investigated the situation of his mistress?" Xu Qingyun asked again.

"I checked. She's only 23 years old this year. She's not from Nanjing. But when I checked her, I made an unexpected discovery."

Yan Ming chuckled, Xu Qingyun looked at him, and before he could ask, Yan Ming took the initiative to say, "She is from Suzhou, went to school in Shanghai, studied Japanese, and had many Japanese classmates."

"Have you ever studied Japanese?"

Xu Qingyun immediately understood what Yan Ming meant. They were originally trying to frame Shi Qingbin and make him a traitor. Now that his mistress had learned Japanese, he was even more suspicious.

There is nothing wrong with having learned Japanese. Many members of the Fruit Party have studied in Japan.

But he himself was suspected of being a traitor, and his mistress was a Japanese classmate, so Shi Qingbin would only be accused of more dirt.

There is too much dirty water, even if he is not one of them, he will be one in the end.

"Yes, his mistress now has Japanese friends and often shows off."

Yan Ming nodded. These were easy to check. Just check the people around the mistress. The mistress relied on Shi Qingbin's favor to show off her power. Many people around her were jealous of her or had opinions about her.

It doesn't cost any money to find out about these situations, people will tell you on their own initiative.

"Catch him secretly when he is with his mistress."

Xu Qingyun ordered that Shi Qingbin had recently noticed something was wrong and needed to be arrested as soon as possible.

The people Shi Qingbin sent out had not contacted him for a long time and had not returned.

"Yes, he will go there again tonight, and I will take action tonight."

During Yan Ming's investigation, he also discovered an important clue: today is Shi Qingbin's mistress' birthday, and he is going to take her to celebrate in the evening.

This is an excellent opportunity to catch.

He already understood what the team leader meant. It was not about arresting one person, but two.

Let his mistress admit that she is related to the Japanese and completely nail Shi Qingbin.

"How's the investigation going over there?"

"We haven't found him yet. There are too many people. We have checked very carefully. As long as he is still there, he can't escape."

Yan Ming replied, fortunately the people from group three came to help, otherwise it would take who knows when the investigation would take.

There are too many people, so the progress is slow. But it’s okay, the important thing is to find it.

We have checked one third of the area now, and the remaining people won’t be able to hold on for long.

"Okay, let's work hard for a while. Once all our people are in place, the situation will be much better."

There are still twenty people from Group 4 who have not arrived yet. Once all the personnel are in place, we won’t have to borrow people all the time.

An intelligence group can handle all other situations on its own, unless it is a particularly large case involving a lot of people.

"Yes, team leader."

Yan Ming took the order and went to arrange the arrest mission. He would arrest the person personally today.

At the sentry post, Yao Chang was a little nervous.

He was about to change shifts, and since Xu Qingyun didn't go out today, he had no chance to take secret photos.

After taking the gold bars from the Japanese, he immediately exchanged them for dollars, bought a large piece of fat meat and white rice, and went home to eat a full meal with his whole family.

He's had enough of the hard times.

He did have complaints in his heart. He clearly worked very hard, so why did his life become so hard while those officials lived in luxury?

Many people have had this kind of resentment.

In addition, he was deceived again, and his resentment reached its peak.

Faced with the choice between life and death, he would definitely choose to continue living.

He promised the Japanese that he could now live and live well.

If you don't agree, you'll be finished soon.

But when he really did it, he was a little scared. He knew Xu Qingyun. He had met him several times and he was the most popular person in the Intelligence Department.

If I take a secret photo of him and get caught, not only will he be finished, but his whole family will be finished.

He must be careful.

A car suddenly drove out from inside. Yao Chang stood up straight. He saw that the person driving the car was Yan Ming, Xu Qingyun's confidant.

nobody else.

Yan Ming has left?

It is estimated that Xu Qingyun will be out soon. Their shift change time is half an hour after get off work, and they will not change shifts casually during off-duty time.

Xu Qingyun is different from others. He often works overtime or leaves early. He can only wait after get off work and try his luck.
