Chapter 532 Secret Meeting
Chapter 532 Secret Meeting
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Office of the Director of the Materials Operation Center.
"Yes, Lord Hase, I know."
"No, I absolutely agree with the Navy plan and will certainly provide full assistance."
"Mr. Hase, you still need to give me some time. You should know that this is different from supplies."
"Of course, I will give priority to the navy's needs. Prime Minister Mine has already approved it, and our oil company is also in the process of preparation."
"Hey, everything is for the future of the empire. I will work hard."
"Okay, goodbye." After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang rubbed his eyebrows weakly.
It is indeed a very pleasant thing to jump back and forth between the sea and land camps, but sometimes it is also a headache.
These two departments are naturally incompatible, and one could easily end up in trouble if one is not careful.
This feeling, ah, how to describe it, is like giving birth to twins.
The older brother and the younger brother have been at odds with each other since they were young and they always fight when they meet.
Two people must buy one toy each, and the colors must be exactly the same.
If you only bought one, it would be the end of you. The two brothers would cry and fight over it, making the house a mess and making it uneasy.
The most troublesome thing is that if you take two brothers out, they will definitely run one to the east and the other to the west, and no matter how much you persuade them, it will be useless.
Families who have had twins should be well aware of this situation, with almost no exceptions.
Chen Yang now feels like that exhausted old father.
The army will form six heavy artillery brigades, and the navy will also form an artillery regiment.
Moreover, because Yonai Masamitsu came to power, the navy received more support than the army, and the domestically produced 320 mortars were taken away by the navy before they were even pulled out of the warehouse.
Moreover, the first naval mortar regiment was formed ahead of the army.
But that’s not all. Most of the howitzers produced domestically are now 240mm howitzers, and the 305mm howitzers needed by the army need to be imported.
The Army Department had just handed the matter over to Chen Yang to resolve when, in the afternoon, Colonel Ishikawa from the Marine Command brought an order from His Excellency Hase Aokawa.
The Navy Department requested the purchase of twenty 305 howitzers.
Chen Yang was speechless for a moment. You two departments are fighting over things and playing tricks on me.
However, even though he was dissatisfied, Chen Yang really didn't dare to express any opinion.
In the past few days, Chen Yang has been trying hard to find a source of supply. People like Feldman seem reluctant to do this business and just keep making excuses.
As for looking for Britain and France, Chen Yang thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate.
With the fighting in Europe like this, who has extra artillery to sell?
Under the current situation, only the United States has this capability, and this country is full of arms dealers.
Everyone wants to make a fortune during the war.
But sometimes it's just so strange, the more you want to find something, the harder it is to find it.
No one knew where the agents of those arms dealers had gone to.
The people Chen Yang sent out didn't find any information. It was really weird.
Fortunately, it has not been all bad news during this period. Yesterday morning, good news came from the local area.
Fujiwara Nao has obtained the rights to develop oil on Karafuto Island from Cabinet Yonai.
The previously proposed Yamato Oil Company has also completed preparations and has begun normal construction.
The company is majority owned by the Black Dragon Society and the Fujiwara family.
There are still some shares in the hands of Keiji Okita and Chen Yang.
Chen Yang now has a foothold in Japan thanks to his two companies, Yamato Oil Industry and Life Sunshine Pharmaceuticals.
In addition, he is also a director of the Black Dragon Society. Even though the local people know that Life Sunshine Pharmaceutical Company has nothing to do with the Black Dragon Society, they still associate this company with the Black Dragon Society.
The president has been very annoyed during this period because the drugs produced by this pharmaceutical factory have not yet been officially put into use, but the demanders have already set their sights on them.
Two hundred dollars per dose of medicine. Even before the medicine is even sold, someone has already prepared a large sum of money and wants to go through the internal channel to buy a batch.
Even though Yamamoto Kazuo repeatedly distanced himself from the matter and said the drugs had nothing to do with him, those people still didn't believe him.
The telegram using connections had even been sent to Li Xianshu at the Chinese Consulate in Shanghai.
Li Xianshu felt annoyed but also a little happy.
Originally, she was worried that Chen Yang's position as a director would be unstable, because every Black Dragon Society director possessed a certain amount of power.
Li Xianshu brought Chen Yang in, but she had no corresponding power in the local area, so she could only use the tiger's skin as a banner and arrange the position of assistant to the president for him.
However, this is only a temporary measure. If Yamamoto Yoshisaburo performs well in China, he will gain the support of most directors.
He is the candidate for the next president, and Chen Yang's position as assistant may be removed at any time.
But that's different now.
Li Xianshu didn't expect that the pharmaceutical factory's business would be so booming.
Many people had already set their sights on penicillin while it was still in production.
There are many top forces among them. Fortunately, Chen Yang had already made preparations, including the Sumitomo Zaibatsu, the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu and the Osaka Chamber of Commerce.
Even if those people have some ideas, they dare not do anything behind the scenes.
Ding-ling-ling, suddenly, the phone in front of Chen Yang rang.
Chen Yang picked up the phone, and unexpectedly, the voice that came from the other end was Gao Tianjiu's.
"Boss, I have something to report to you. Do you have time to come to the Flanders Holiday Hotel?"
Chen Yang was a little surprised. Gao Tianjiu wouldn't be so rash.
He didn't dare to explain the situation on the phone, and it was obviously a serious matter.
"Okay, wait for me for half an hour, I'll be there right away." Chen Yang hung up the phone, hurriedly picked up his coat and left Meihua Building.
International Settlement, Holiday Inn Express France.
Chen Yang stepped into the hotel lobby and looked up to see Gao Tianjiu sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
Chen Yang stepped forward and said, “Lao Jiu, if you have something to say, you can’t say it on the phone. You have to invite me here.”
"Boss, you're here, come with me." When Gao Tianjiu saw Chen Yang for the first time, he did not rush to explain the reason, but led him to a secluded seat aside.
The hotel has its own restaurant. Not many people were dining there at this time, so Gao Tianjiu took Chen Yang aside and helped order a cup of coffee.
When the coffee came, Gao Tianjiu whispered, "Boss, did you know that Wang Jiu was arrested by No. 76?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I know. Li Qun sent the report over. He killed someone with a weapon in the street with the intention of assassinating Zhang Xiufeng. The evidence is irrefutable. Two accomplices surrendered."
"Laojiu, why are you suddenly interested in this? Do you want to save him?"
"I advise you not to get involved in this mess. Wang Jiu was caught in the street, and there were at least hundreds of witnesses."
"It can be said that this is a done deal. No matter who steps forward, it will not work."
Gao Tianjiu whispered: "What if it's you?"
