Chapter 475 Calming the Waves
The medical personnel and supplies of the "Yalong" during the Anti-Japanese War were detained due to intelligence leaks.
The Nanyang private spy under Ito Noboru reported the information to Ito Noboru.
Because of Ito Noboru's retirement, his work came to a standstill only halfway through.
That is, the Japanese warships detained the "Yalong" freighter but never boarded the ship to arrest anyone.
Ito Nomo gave the Japanese naval warships a deadline of three days. If there was no notification from him in an hour, the Japanese naval warships would sink the "Yalon" freighter.
After reading all the information, Xiang Chu said with lingering fear: "Manxue! Fortunately, Ito Yewang was killed. The information he had was too terrifying."
"He should have been killed long ago."
Wang Manxue nodded, picked up a document and urged: "Brother Chu! Let the Japanese warships pass quickly, otherwise the deadline will be up in an hour."
Xiang Chu looked at his watch and said with a wry smile:
"Why haven't the people sent by Sister Xi arrived yet?"
At this time, the voice of Vice Consul Ichiro Inaya sounded outside the door:
"Acting Consul General! The Nanyang Red Cross Society's representative requests a meeting."
"I'll hide!"
Wang Manxue slipped into the inner room.
Xiang Chu stood up and responded loudly: "Please come in!"
The door opened and Ichiro Inaya walked in with a middle-aged woman from Southeast Asia.
The middle-aged woman was well-dressed, holding a scroll in her hand, and her face was full of anxiety.
She held the scroll to Xiang Chu with both hands and said with a smile:
"Consul General Fujiwara! I am Li Meiyue, the president of the Nanyang Red Cross Society. I am honored to be here."
"Hello, Ms. Li!"
Xiang Chu took the scroll and said indifferently,
"Fujiwara knows why you came here."
He unfolded the scroll and glanced at it. It was a picture of a court lady. He pretended to be overjoyed and said:
"Uncle Daogu! Please immediately inform the imperial warships that have detained the Nanyang 'Yalong' freighter. This is a complete misunderstanding. Please release it immediately!"
"Hello!"
Inaya Ichiro hurriedly accepted the order and said with a smile,
"Ms. Li! Please!"
"Thank you, Consul Fujiwara!"
Li Meiyue said excitedly, turned around and followed Inaya Ichiro out of the room.
Wang Manxue came out from the inner room and said with a smile:
"Brother Chu! Did you accept the gift?"
Xiang Chu was sending a telegram to Nan Zao Yunzi, pointing to the coffee table and saying, "My dear! They sent me a torn painting of a lady, but they didn't know that I am now implementing your instructions to avoid having affairs with women."
"Well! You have to stay alert."
Wang Manxue nodded with satisfaction, picked up the scroll and unfolded it, exclaiming,
"Oh my god! This is 'Ladies of the Tang Dynasty Palace', a national treasure!"
"national treasure?"
Xiang Chu walked over in shock, regretting that he had given her the national treasure.
Wang Manxue said happily: "Dear! This painting can be regarded as your wedding gift to Manxue."
How could Xiang Chu refuse her wishes? He said happily, "Okay! You are a painter, and you know how to preserve and protect."
Wang Manxue rolled up the scroll and said as she did so, "This painting must be kept safe and must not be known to outsiders. Otherwise, it would be a crime to possess a treasure and bring disaster upon oneself."
"As expected of a university lecturer!"
Xiang Chu praised and walked towards the radio station to continue sending messages.
Wang Manxue asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Why are you always sending messages?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Tell Nan Zao Yunzi about her uncle. We have done a good deed and we can't keep it secret."
Wang Manxue teased, "Well! Send it to the Yasukuni Shrine as soon as possible."
At this time, the voice of Ichiro Inaya sounded outside the door:
"Acting Consul General! Urgent message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Xiang Chu opened the door, took the telegram folder, and asked as if nothing had happened:
"Uncle Daogu! The Yalong freighter has been released."
Ichiro Inaya smiled and said, "It has been released."
"very good!"
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, opened the telegram folder and looked at it, and said in surprise,
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked this consul to quickly quell the waves of demonstrations, beatings of Japanese expatriates, and destruction of Japanese stores?"
Ichiro Inaya smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe you think that you are the head of the Yamashiro clan, the head of the Kage Agency, Lieutenant General Fujiwara, and you are very capable. You will definitely be able to accomplish such a great task."
"Ok!"
Xiang Chu nodded with satisfaction, handed him the telegram folder, and said domineeringly,
"Uncle Inaya! This generation of Consul General does have this ability."
At this moment, the radio broadcast sounded and Wang Manxue hurried over to copy it.
"Of course! I'll take my leave."
Ichiro Inaya bowed and nodded, then left tactfully.
Xiang Chu closed the door and walked to Wang Manxue.
Wang Manxue handed him the transcribed message and shook her head.
"It must have been sent by that devil girl Nanzō Yunzi."
"No! This is from Sister Xi."
Xiang Chu smiled and hurriedly deciphered the message.
Wang Manxue smiled and said, "By the way! I told Sister Xi that the Yalong has been released."
"Let me do it! I will reply to Sister Xi's message as well."
Xiang Chu said anxiously, handed her the translated message, sat down in front of the radio, and sent the message.
"7 items! The Yalong has been released. You can immediately notify the relevant personnel that all overseas Chinese who have arrived in Hong Kong and their supplies can board Manxue's cargo ship and your plane to enter the country. Blindfolded man!"
Soon, Song Xi replied: "Blindfolded man! This will affect your safety. 7 points!"
Xiang Chu replied to the telegram: "No problem! I just received a notice from the Fuso Ministry of Foreign Affairs to calm the storm."
Song Xi called back: "I love you so much!"
Wang Manxue took the past message and couldn't help laughing: "How could the dignified and steady Sister Xi become so romantic?"
"Manxue! Help me burn the telegram paper."
Xiang Chu whispered, picked up the phone and called Ichiro Tsukei.
"Zhu Jing-kun! How is the arrangement for my uncle's funeral going? Have the reporters been invited?"
Ichiro Tsukei responded hastily: "Acting Consul General! Everything has been arranged. I am just about to report to you. You can go to the funeral in the conference room downstairs now."
Xiang Chu praised: "Mr. Zhuo Jing! Your ability to handle affairs is first-rate. This Consul General has decided to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and specially promote you to a higher rank."
Ichiro Takei said excitedly: "Thank you! Thank you, Acting Consul General. I will definitely serve you and your wife."
"very good!"
Xiang Chu said with satisfaction, paused, and ordered,
"My uncle's funeral should be held in a more grand manner. You should immediately invite the commander and captain of the Imperial Navy, as well as the celebrities of the Empire, and..."
Xiang Chu introduced him to a lot of celebrities and invited all the captains of naval ships to come, so that he could transport the Chinese and overseas Chinese who were fighting in the war and the supplies into the mainland.
Wang Manxue couldn't help but hug his neck tightly, and said with great emotion: "Xiang Chu! Are you still the team leader Xiang that I met at Zhenjiang Railway Station?"
"Always!"
Xiang Chu smiled, took her waist, and said with a smile,
"Manxue! Go back to Xuelu as soon as possible and notify your cargo ship to transport people and supplies to the inland."
Wang Manxue said angrily: "You have a telephone and a radio here, so why can't I work here?"
Xiang Chu suddenly understood and said, "That's right! Let's do it together."
Wang Manxue said meaningfully: "Acting Consul General, don't forget, I'm working for you."
Xiang Chu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Manxue said angrily, "If we get all the people out, won't the storm subside?"
