Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Everyone else was stunned. It wasn't that they didn't understand, but rather that happiness came too suddenly. They never expected that multiple problems that had been troubling them would be solved all at once!

With the pressure from above gone, all the troublemakers in the family can come in, and I can also get rid of all the troublemakers in my fleet.

"That's a brilliant idea that kills many birds with one stone!"

After some thought, everyone started a heated discussion about allocating quotas, or rather, claiming quotas. "I can free up three thousand," one person said, "I have two gunboats that are a bit old..."

After one hour.

"Young Aoki, why would you be willing to take this wrecked fleet to Manchuria?"

"Oh, Grandfather, Qingxuan is scared!"

"Fear?"

“Grandfather, have you forgotten? That day, old Saito was so angry with Qingxuan that he almost spat blood. It was on that day that you rescued the headstrong and fearless Qingxuan and even took him to the Prince’s house for drinks.”

"Hahaha~~"

"So even you have moments of fear, kid."

"Yo-ho! Qingxuan, your plan is excellent. Let's do it this way. My old buddies, you discuss it yourselves and distribute it as soon as possible. Go back and bring the old ship to Qingxuan so he can go to Manchuria for refuge."

Hahaha~~~

"Your Highness, Grandfather, Qingxuan has a small request. Could you please help us get that Korean out of the army prison?"

“Qingxuan is unfamiliar with the place and people of Korea, and wants a local to guide him. Moreover, Qingxuan had previously promised him that as long as he cooperated with me, I would get him out and take him away.”

Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu and Kato Kanji both knew about the farce this kid was causing with the army. They actually colluded in the interrogation room, demanding that the murderer point to Kenji Doihara. It seems that he was really fed up with being bullied by the Kwantung Army and had become desperate.

So, of course, that's fine. Let him take his men to Korea, which will keep the Kwantung Army at bay from behind. The Navy is their own kid; if the Navy doesn't pamper him, are they going to expect the Army to be stupid?

Just a North Korean, no problem. What? He just carried out a bomb attack? No problem, he only killed soldiers, it doesn't matter.

After the meeting, Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu took Chen Jiehua directly to the army headquarters to retrieve him.

The army was in a dilemma; the Kanazawa Division was keeping a close eye on the situation and demanding the swift execution of the murderer. However, Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu had personally intervened to demand the release of the perpetrator, and they couldn't refuse such a request.

In the end, Chen Jiehua came up with a solution.

The army brought out a death row inmate from the prison who was about the same size as Yoon Bong-gil, and executed him.

Yoon Bong-gil was taken away by him. Aoki Qiao promised that Yoon Bong-gil would wear a mask and change his name from now on. He also promised that Yoon Bong-gil would be more careful with his words at future army meetings, since he was going to take the fleet to Manchuria and would basically not be attending meetings anymore.

This is truly great news! Then let's hurry up and get things done for General Aoki! Let's get rid of this plague god.

That's how this matter was perfectly resolved.

Dividing line —
This soon-to-be-formed "Manchukuo Fleet" was the solution Chen Jiehua had envisioned.

Troublemakers? Not a chance. As long as the money's right, we can take Kobe Port down.

Outdated? Not at all. With a little repair, it'll still be able to take on Doihara and the Kwantung Army without any problem.

Most importantly, it can supply Guan Yuheng's troops with provisions.

How do we deliver supplies?
Smuggling, using warships to smuggle Japanese medicine, food, and even weapons, exchanging them for money. The money was distributed according to rank, directly to the troublemakers in the navy, ensuring they all ran faster than a foolish deer.

In addition, it is also possible to openly and legitimately deliver supplies to the Ijuin Seiki Brigade. These are all Navy personnel, so there is no burden in delivering them.

Chen Jiehua sent a telegram from his villa in Senso-ji Temple to Guan Yuheng, instructing him to lead a team to move towards the Korean coast from Hungnam, Wonsan to Chongjin, find a few people who could speak Japanese, dress them in Japanese military uniforms, wait for the arrival of Japanese warships, and agree on a communication signal.

After fighting the Japanese for so long, surely we can get our hands on a few Japanese military uniforms?

Considering that it would be unreasonable for the fleet to deliver supplies to non-Japanese troops in the northeast right from the start, and smuggling is also not plausible, the only option is to have the members of the Ijuin Battalion run errands first.

Chen Jiehua instructed Yang Dengying to contact the members of the Ijuin Battalion near the Korean border, and those who hadn't yet entered the headquarters, to move towards the coastal areas of Wonsan and Chongjin. As for Yoon Bong-gil, he hadn't been tortured during his last few days in Shanghai, and hadn't been tortured again in Tokyo; he recovered very quickly.

Chen Jiehua's communication with him was simple: "I'll change your name, make you wear a mask, and take you back to North Korea. You'll work for me, mainly against the Kwantung Army's Doihara intelligence agency." Yoon Bong-gil agreed without hesitation.

Dividing line —
In mid-June, the naval fleets and naval garrisons were highly efficient and exceeded their demobilization targets, "dismissing" a total of 30,000 naval officers and sailors, and more than 30 warships of various types.

If Chen Jiehua hadn't stopped them, the other companies would probably have sent dozens more "old warships." Who wouldn't want to ditch their small ships and wait for the Yamato? Maybe it would have been our turn.

At the Miyazaki Naval Base, "Commander-in-Chief of the Manchukuo Naval Fleet" Aoki Takashi addressed all naval officers.

"Greetings, fellow naval uncles and elders, oh, and over there, there's an old fellow who could be Qingxuan's grandfather!"

"Ha, ignoring me? It's alright, Qingxuan is a junior, don't be angry. Qingxuan is also one of our Kagoshima clan, we're all on the same side."

Do you all know why you've come here?

"It's just downsizing. They think we're too old, so they're cutting us."

"They want to eliminate dissidents and take the opportunity to fire us troublemakers? They're dreaming! I'm going to fight back!"

"..."

"Alright! Everyone, quiet down! Quiet down and listen to what Qingxuan has to say!"

"You were all begged by Qingxuan from your superiors! Why? Do you know? Because Qingxuan wants to take you to make money!"

"You're lying again! Even the officer is lying!"

"Come here, you!"

"Go ahead then, I'm not afraid of you killing me!"

"Hahaha, from now on you will all be Qingxuan's direct troops, treasures. Kill you? Qingxuan can't bear to do it."

"Come on, there's no point in saying more, you won't believe me anyway. Come forward and lift the cloth!"

"Oh!"

"Songka!"

"Everyone, quiet down! Qingxuan will say one more thing!"

"That is: give them money!"

"Everyone, line up! Guard Ji Yinfengwen, maintain order and hand out the money!"

Half an hour later.

"Did you get them all?!"

"got it!"

"Does it smell good?!"

"fragrant!"

"Sigh, it seems money is still the most effective thing."

"Hahaha~~"

"There are some things that Qingxuan suddenly doesn't want to say anymore. Let's get on the ship, show us your skills, and lead the team well."

"Before you all board the ship, take a small box over there. It contains your wages for all the sailors under your command. Listen carefully, no deductions allowed! There will be plenty more later. Qingxuan will take you to make money!"

"Let's go!" (End of Chapter)
