Chapter 67: Leave The Choice To Them
Li Ningyu said softly: “If you don’t come up with the transportation plan soon, Minister Chen will be anxious enough to hang himself.”
Chen Yang said indifferently: “What’s the panic? This kind of matter needs to be planned carefully.”
“The last pacification campaign failed, and we have no connection to the Military and Political Department, yet they still put the hat on us.”
“If something goes wrong this time, it won’t be something I can withstand.”
“If it goes badly, the entire Economic Department will be dragged to the Joint Special Higher Police Affairs for interrogation.”
Li Ningyu smiled lightly: “Officer, aren’t you being too cautious? The gold transportation has dedicated personnel escorting it all the way, so if something happens, it won’t be blamed on us.”
Chen Yang sighed: “Secretary Li, if you could become the commander of the Joint Special Higher Police Affairs, our Economic Department would definitely have a lot fewer troubles.”
“Alright, go call Director Feng up.”
“I’ll hand the transportation plan to him and have him find someone to make a trip to Nanjing.”
Li Ningyu nodded, turned around, and went downstairs to the Tongji Office to call Feng Jian up.
A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and Feng Jian came in with a fawning smile: “Officer, you wanted to see me?”
Chen Yang handed the document bag he had just sealed on the table to Feng Jian: “Deputy Director Feng, there’s a top secret escort operation on the Nanjing side that requires our Economic Department to cooperate.”
“I’ve already prepared the transportation plan, including a normal transportation plan plus two backup plans.”
“See if you want to go to Nanjing yourself or send someone.”
Feng Jian said with a bitter face: “Officer, I would like to go, but I really can’t get away.”
“The Tongji Office only has five people working now; if any one is missing, it won’t run.”
“See if you arrange for someone from General Affairs Section or have Section Chief Zhu from the Second Section go.”
Chen Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a moment, and said: “General Affairs Section is watching over the material warehouse expansion.”
“Director Liu has complained to me many times about not having enough manpower; now even he has to go to the site to supervise.”
“As for Section Chief Zhu, he’s even worse; he loves to drink and is prone to messing things up.”
“This operation concerns the future funds operation of the Jinling Government; we must find a reliable person.”
“Director Feng, see if you have any candidate to recommend.”
Feng Jian was silent for a long time before saying: “Officer, to be honest, I really can’t think of anyone.”
“However, if you don’t hold it against a petty person, I think Deputy Director Xie is quite trustworthy.”
“Moreover, he was previously with Deputy Minister Wang of the Social Department, so he’s familiar with people there.”
The Deputy Director Xie that Feng Jian mentioned was Xie Rong, whom Chen Yang had sent to the Dispatch Center as a dispatcher.
It seemed that Xie Rong, after staying at the Dispatch Center for over half a month, was starting to panic.
Otherwise, why would he find a way to reach Feng Jian.
Hmm, it had to be said that this guy was an excellent candidate to take the blame.
“You’re quite righteous.” Chen Yang nodded slowly: “Alright, since it’s Director Feng’s recommendation, a gentleman also helps others achieve their beauty, so I’ll give him an opportunity.”
“If he does this matter well, I’ll issue a slip to let him return to the Tongji Office.”
Feng Jian cupped his hands toward Chen Yang repeatedly: “I thank you on behalf of Deputy Director Xie.”
“Alright.” Chen Yang waved his hand: “Quickly go arrange it and have Xie Rong set off for Nanjing as soon as possible.”
Chongqing, Hunan Guild Hall, Military Statistics Bureau Office.
Near the end of work hours, a black Buick Sedan drove into the Hunan Guild Hall.
After getting out of the car, Zheng Yaoquan tucked a file under his arm and hurried up to the second floor office.
“Yaoquan, why are you here at this time?” Boss Dai was also a bit surprised to see Zheng Yaoquan.
“Director, received intelligence from Shanghai.”
“Sakura has made contact with Fuji Mountain.”
“Before this, Sakura followed him for over twenty days and confirmed that Fuji Mountain has not betrayed the Party and Country.”
“That’s when she decided to make contact with him.”
Boss Dai waved his hand: “Yaoquan, since I handed Fuji Mountain to you, I will absolutely trust your judgment of him.”
“You didn’t come here today just to specifically tell me about Fuji Mountain, did you?”
Zheng Yaoquan quickly handed over the file under his arm: “Director, it’s about that batch of gold in Nanjing.”
Boss Dai took the file: “This matter isn’t already assigned to Commissioner Yu to handle? If there’s a problem, you should coordinate with him.”
Zheng Yaoquan said: “Fuji Mountain proposed a plan that can help Commissioner Yu solve the gold matter.”
“But the detailed plan still needs your review; after all, the Loyal Salvation Army is still under your command.”
What Zheng Yaoquan said was correct; the person in charge of the Loyal Salvation Army’s Jiangsu and Zhejiang Regions teach and guide first regiment operating there was Boss Dai.
To be precise, this Loyal Salvation Army was funded by Boss Du, who also recommended many Green Gang members to join, combined with guerrilla teams active in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Regions to form an anti-Japanese organization.
The first person in charge was Boss Dai.
However, because this organization included too many hooligans, bandits, and other people of poor character.
So, to outsiders, this troops was indeed a mix of good and bad.
When Boss Du was around before, he could keep them in check; now Boss Du has fled to Hong Kong Island, and Boss Dai is stationed in Chongqing, so this team has naturally become even more lawless.
Chongqing sent Commissioner Yu there as battle supervisor also to resolve some troublemakers through him and restore some reputation to the Loyal Salvation Army.
Boss Dai said nothing, just opened the document bag, took out the documents inside, and read them patiently.
After a while, he had finished reading the plan proposed by Fuji Mountain and fully understood what Fuji Mountain had in mind.
“Fuji Mountain’s idea is very good; handing the choice to the Japanese can indeed clear his suspicion.”
“Yaoquan, what do you think?”
Zheng Yaoquan nodded in agreement: “Of course I listen to the Director.”
“As long as you think it’s fine, I’ll go arrange it immediately.”
Boss Dai frowned and suddenly asked: “How’s the selection on Zhao Lijun’s side?”
Zheng Yaoquan respectfully replied: “Currently, we’ve identified a few; the better ones are Xie Zhipan, Jiang Anhua, and Bi Gaoqui.”
“However, a few among them are ones Shen Shuyi plans to take to the Yunnan station; what do you think?”
Boss Dai said gravely: “Do this: tell Shen Shuyi that we won’t rob people from Zhao Lijun on the candidate issue.”
“If this operation succeeds, it can greatly undermine the prestige of those dog bastards in Jinling.”
“Have Commissioner Yu first find suitable candidates according to the plan proposed by Fuji Mountain.”
“On the Nanjing side, have Xiong Jiandong make a move; as an Action Team Captain of the Military Statistics Bureau, he shouldn’t even be unable to handle a dispatcher.”
Zheng Yaoquan nodded: “The Director is right.”
“Then I’ll do it according to your instructions.”
“Wait,” Boss Dai stood up, looked again at the proposal in his hand, walked up to Zheng Yaoquan, and said slowly: “Yaoquan, Fuji Mountain is a good piece; you must not waste it.”
“I remind you, there can be many Sakuras inside the Military Statistics Bureau, but Fuji Mountain, there’s only one like that.”
