Chapter 388 You should think about how to get out
The meeting time has arrived, and Ning Changde led Xiang Chu to the meeting room of the Quartermaster Bureau.
There were people in military uniforms and those not in uniform in the meeting room of the Ordnance Department.
At this time, these people were arguing over issues such as poor transportation.
Because the director had not yet checked in, Ning Changde and Xiang Chu stood and waited.
Soon, the fat Director of the Quartermaster General walked into the conference room and sat down in the main seat.
He slammed the table and shouted, "Silence! Everyone sit down."
This voice was quite intimidating, and the entire conference room suddenly became quiet.
Ning Changde changed his usual low profile and specially introduced: "Everyone! This major general is my nephew's son-in-law. He is a senior adviser to the General Staff Headquarters, a war supervision commissioner, and a senior advisor to the Military and Police Department. He also came here specially to attend our meeting."
The position he mentioned was very long, and he forgot to mention the key name, so everyone listened attentively but still couldn't understand.
Director Liu said angrily, "Changde! Isn't it a waste of talent for the senior advisor to come to our meeting?"
Ning Changde was about to explain, but Xiang Chu shook his head at him and said with a smile:
"Uncle! Sit down first. I'm just here to listen."
"All right!"
Ning Changde nodded helplessly.
He came to the Quartermaster Bureau late, and the director was deeply rooted in the city, with his cronies in all key departments. How could he dare to offend him? Otherwise, if he was assigned to deliver supplies to the front line, he might be fired halfway.
Seeing that Xiang Chu was a major general and was on equal footing with him, the Director of the Quartermaster Department said politely:
"Major General, Liu is a rough man, please bear with me."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Director Liu is too modest. I have heard of your vigorous and resolute style."
"Indeed!"
Director Liu said happily, took out a document, and said with a depressed look,
"Everyone! We finally purchased supplies in Hong Kong, but when we were transporting them to the mainland, they were intercepted and sunk by Japanese warships. It's such a pity.
Can you think of a way to get the supplies back to the country?"
A colonel cleared his throat and suggested, "Sir! It would be best if we ask Hongmen in Hong Kong to send someone to help us escort the cargo ship."
A man in a white gown shook his head and said, "The Japanese warships won't buy their accounts. It's better to use foreign ships for transportation."
A lieutenant colonel officer smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we use foreign ships, we are still inspected by the Japanese warships."
The man in the white gown suggested, "The only thing the devils don't check right now is the cargo ships of the Yamashita Green Gang. It's amazing that their cargo ships can reach Shanghai, Dalian, Osaka and other places."
Director Liu asked anxiously, "Can we get in touch with the Green Gang down the mountain?"
The man in white shirt shook his head and said, "The Shanxia Green Gang was jointly founded by the Guizi Shanxia Group and the Shanghai Green Gang. How can they be related? But..."
Director Liu said anxiously: "Hurry up and say something."
The man in white shirt smiled bitterly and said, "However, Miss Wang is in charge of the Green Gang's business at the foot of the mountain. She even named a 10,000-ton cargo ship 'Manxue' after herself."
Director Liu hurriedly asked, "Who can talk to Miss Wang?"
The man in white shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not! After all, Miss Wang is also working for the Shanxian leader."
Director Liu was very frustrated and touched the back of his head, at a loss.
Ning Changde pointed at Xiang Chu and said, "Sir! Xiang Chu can talk to Miss Wang."
When Director Liu heard the name Xiang Chu, he hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, shook Xiang Chu's hand and said, "Oh! So you are the national hero Xiang Chu. I am so sorry! I am so sorry!"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Director Liu, you are too kind! I can handle all the issues in Hong Kong, but I have a small request."
"Really?"
Director Liu said in disbelief.
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I just need to send a telegram, and you can use the cargo ship of the Qing Gang at the foot of the mountain at will."
Director Liu smiled awkwardly, "Senior Xiang! This is not something you can joke about."
Xiang Chu gave him the sketch of the Lihua Mountain air-raid shelter he had drawn and said with a smile:
"As long as you send someone to help me do this, I will send a telegram immediately."
Director Liu took the sketch and readily agreed, "No problem at all!"
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu walked out of the conference room and came to the telecommunications room of the Quartermaster Department.
Not long after, he returned to the conference room, handed a telegram to Director Liu, and said with a smile,
"Director Liu! Currently, Hong Kong has five brand new cargo ships available for your use, but the transportation price will be slightly higher. After all, it carries a certain risk.
If your people are in Hong Kong, they can call the Shanqing Group's telephone number on the telegram, or send a message to the Shanqing Group's commercial radio station call sign, and they can ship it today."
Director Liu handed the telegram to the man in white and said, "Liu Hang! Go and try to contact him."
"Yes!"
The man in white shirt hurriedly accepted the order.
Soon, he came back and said excitedly:
"Officer! We have already contacted Hong Kong to ship the goods. They said they will compensate us if there are any problems."
"so smart?"
Director Liu exclaimed.
Everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu stood up and said with a smile, "Sir! I'll take my leave. Please send someone over as soon as possible, as I have to go to the front to supervise the battle."
Director Liu handed the sketch to Ning Changde and instructed, "Changde! Xiang Gaocan is your nephew-in-law, so you should handle this matter. This is a small air-raid shelter, and the quality must be up to standard."
"Yes!"
Ning Changde gladly accepted the order.
In order to be closer to his family, he also built a villa at the foot of Lihua Mountain.
Since Xiang Chu had the idea of connecting the air-raid shelters, he naturally joined in.
Xiang Chu chatted with Ning Changde for a while, then immediately drove back to the Political Department.
He walked into Song Xi's office, and Song Xi said happily:
"Xiang Chu! You're back just in time. Come with me to investigate Mount Gele."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu said happily.
If I go to Geleshan at this time, I will definitely not be able to come back after get off work.
He walked into Ning Caiwei's office, handed her the car keys, and said:
"Caiwei! Sister Xi and I are going to Gele Mountain for an inspection. You can drive home by yourself after get off work."
"it is good!"
Ning Caiwei nodded lightly, pulled him and whispered, "Brother Chu! Sister Xi is looking for a cave to store materials for her family, so don't ask too much."
"I know! Goodbye son."
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, and touched her bulging belly affectionately, before he turned around and left.
"Disgusting! How old is the child?"
Ning Caiwei said coquettishly, and suddenly a trace of worry arose in her heart, "Child! There are so many caves in Gele Mountain. Don't let your father and Aunt Xi get trapped in a cave tonight."
Her sixth sense was very accurate. Xiang Chu and Song Xi were investigating the cave in Gele Mountain, but unexpectedly they encountered two Japanese spies hiding in the cave.
The two Japanese spies were wounded and had run out of ammunition. They saw two soldiers, a man and a woman, one of whom rushed up to them howling.
"Bang!"
Xiang Chu shot and killed the Japanese spy.
The other Japanese spy did not expect Xiang Chu to draw his gun so quickly, and immediately turned around and fled into the depths of the dimly lit cave.
"Bah!"
Xiang Chu's shot missed and he hurriedly chased into the cave.
Song Xi quickly drew out his pistol and followed him.
The two men held on to the fleeing Japanese spy and fired continuously. They chased him for a long time and even killed him deep into the cave.
Xiang Chu shone the flashlight on the Japanese spy's face and said happily:
"Sister Xi! I know this Japanese spy. He is a captain of the Shanghai Special High Section. His name is Kenzaburo Kuriya. He should be the leader of the Japanese spies lurking in Chongqing this time."
Song Xi said worriedly, "Xiang Chu! We just ran like crazy with this devil and passed through so many forks in the cave. You should think about how to get out."
