Chapter 938 Crisis is an opportunity
Chapter 938 Crisis is an opportunity
Harada Beshiro was slightly stunned, but still took the small blue notebook handed to him by Ma Yongxiang. After opening it, he saw the title of "Transportation Officer of the Joint Transport Department" clearly written on it.
Below is the seal of the Joint Transport Department and the signature of General Affairs Section Chief Oki Higashino.
"Are you the director of the Joint Transportation Department?" Harada Beshiro was confused by Ma Yongxiang? Of course, they had heard of the name of the Joint Transportation Department in China. This is the department responsible for transporting various materials.
But a Chinese is actually a transportation officer?
"Yes, this is the Joint Transport Department's Hong Kong Island Warehouse. You need to get permission from the dispatched forces' top brass to conduct any military operations."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain."
Harada Beshiro was immediately shocked. Where do you think this is to get the order from the Chinese Expeditionary Army?
Liu Qi next to him couldn't hold back and started shouting.
"Harada-tai-kun, don't listen to him, he is just a gangster leader,"
"Shut up." Harada Beshiro scolded. Although he didn't know whether what Ma Yongxiang said was true or false, his ID was real.
Ma Yongxiang stepped back and pointed at the warehouse, saying, "Come with me in, I'll find someone of status to talk to you."
Harada Beshiro raised his hand to signal the troops in the rear to put down their guns and wait where they were, then he followed Ma Yongxiang into the warehouse with two of his men.
On the second floor of the warehouse, Ma Yongxiang walked into the office and asked Harada to leave the two soldiers at the door.
Then, he closed the office door and sat down without paying attention to Harada's expression. "What's your name?"
Haradabe Shiro was frightened by Ma Yongxiang's action and stood at attention and said, "Captain of the 3rd Squadron of the Nara Detachment, Haradabe Shiro."
Ma Yongxiang nodded, picked up the phone in the warehouse and shook it, then said calmly: "Connect Major General Kurokawa Tomojiro of the 23rd Division Logistics Department."
About half a minute later, Ma Yongxiang said to the phone: "Major General Kurokawa, I am Ma Yongxiang, the director of the Joint Transportation Department."
"I want to know if the siege of the warehouse of the Joint Transport Department's Hong Kong Island District by Major Harada was ordered by your division commander, Lieutenant General Sakai?"
Although the two sides were still a few steps apart, Harada could vaguely hear Major General Kurokawa's apology on the other end of the phone.
A small official could actually make an imperial major general apologize to him? Harada felt that his worldview collapsed in an instant.
Ma Yongxiang handed the phone to Harada Beishiro and said, "Major General Kurokawa from your division's logistics department wants to see you."
Harada was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he swallowed unconsciously, then stepped forward and took the phone respectfully.
"Moses, I'm Haradabe Shiro."
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from the other side, "Bagayalu."
Then there was a continuous stream of greetings. Even though he didn't understand Japanese, Ma Yongxiang could vaguely tell that these words were full of motherly meaning.
Harada kept nodding and apologizing. Although the Japanese Army advocated for subordinates to overcome their superiors, it was impossible for a major to defeat the head of the logistics department, who was a major general at that.
After cursing for more than ten minutes, Major General Kurokawa on the other side finally hung up the phone angrily. Major Harada held the phone awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.
"Major Harada, if you have nothing else to do, go back early," Ma Yongxiang took the phone from the other party, hung up gently, and said expressionlessly, "If you suspect that there is a problem with the warehouse of the Joint Transportation Department, please ask your Lieutenant General Sakai to check it out himself."
"Sorry, I'll leave right away." Harada Beshiro apologized repeatedly, then bowed, turned around and quickly disappeared at the warehouse door.
After Harada Beshiro and his men left, Bao Daxing and Lao Kuai walked into the office with shocked faces.
"Brother Xiang, what did you say to that little Japanese soldier? Why is he running faster than a rabbit? It's like he saw a ghost."
Ma Yongxiang did not give a direct answer: "Daxing, go to the warehouse door and wait. If you see Director Jason from Huafu Fund coming over, notify me immediately."
"The boss asked us to arrange a boat to take him back to Shanghai today. The boss wants to see him about something important."
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Joint Transport Department.
Chen Yang received a telegram from Ma Yongxiang, saying that Jason, director of Huafu Fund, had already boarded the ship back to Shanghai. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After looking at the document on the desk, Chen Yang picked it up and carefully checked it using the precise calculation function in his mind. After confirming that it was correct, he put the document into the file bag.
This is an investment plan, or to be more precise, it is Huafu Fund’s investment plan for the United States.
Chen Yang's original plan was to provide the Japanese with enough oil so that they could perform better in Pearl Harbor.
Unexpectedly, this was too conspicuous. The Japanese fleet traveled from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in half a month, and almost all the ammunition they carried was used in the United States.
A historical attack on Pearl Harbor turned out to be a bombing of the United States.
This sudden change was indeed somewhat unexpected to Chen Yang. He did not expect that once the Japanese went crazy, they would dare to do anything.
Therefore, he had to adjust his investment plan, temporarily shelve the original third phase plan of the pharmaceutical factory, and let George invest in the United States on behalf of the Huafu Foundation.
In Chen Yang's plan, no matter how the future world develops, he cannot avoid dealing with Americans.
He had originally planned to spend a lot of time and energy managing the American line in the later stages of the war. Now, this crisis that could almost affect the fate of the United States is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
You know, after two hundred years of development, the United States has its own forces controlling each industry.
The only way to break the old forces is to destroy them and then build them up.
The United States experienced Japanese bombing, and industrial facilities, manufacturing, steel industry, and even ship and aircraft manufacturing were affected.
Some chaebols were hit hard, and this was Chen Yang's opportunity.
If they didn't die, how would Chen Yang have the chance to be part of the corpse collection team? He is a shark and he grows stronger by eating salmon.
Moreover, Huafu Fund has abundant gold reserves and gold mines in Outer Mongolia as backup. It can be said that now is his best opportunity to invest in the United States.
There was a knock on the door. He Yuehua pushed open the door and said, "Minister, a Mr. Jason is said to be here to see you on your orders."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I asked him to come. Please let him in."
He Yuehua bowed slightly and walked out the door quickly.
In less than a moment, footsteps were heard, and a very gentlemanly British man pushed open the office door: "Boss, you're looking for me?"
Finally I've arrived. After reading the previous comments, some people said that the book has come to an end. In fact, it's too early. Everyone needs to open up their minds. There is no right or wrong in politics, and there is no right or wrong in capital. So, I think this is just the beginning of the later layout.
Some people are afraid that they won’t be able to write later. Of course, that won’t happen. History is still history. As the protagonist, Chen Yang can only influence history, not change it. Otherwise, he will be put in a small dark room. I hope everyone can understand.
Okay, as usual, I'm asking for some gifts, updates, comments, and support. There will be another chapter later...
