Chapter 556 1 The fire burned the bamboo mechanism
As night fell, it was too dangerous to take off.
Xiang Chu gave up the idea of returning to Shanghai overnight and called Yu Xiaowan: "Chief of Intelligence! Count the people released by the Bamboo Agency. If there is one missing, send everyone to surround the Bamboo Agency. Chief!"
Yu Xiaowan called back: "Director! Yamashita Yoshiharu, Li Tong, and Ma Jiuying have surrounded the Bamboo Agency with their men and are ready to attack at any time. Director of Intelligence!"
"Not bad!"
Xiang Chu praised and quickly replied to the telegram: "Very good! If anyone is left alive, order them to destroy the bamboo machine."
Yu Xiaowan called back: “I will do this even if you don’t tell me!”
Xiang Chu couldn't help but be impressed that Yu Xiaowan was more straightforward in doing things.
Wang Manxue flipped through recent newspapers and saw him finish sending the telegram. She asked in confusion, "Dear! Why has our country not dared to declare war on the devils after a year and a half of all-out war?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we don't dare, it's because Germany, Italy and Japan formed the Axis Alliance in 3. Declaring war on one country is equivalent to declaring war on all three. We rely heavily on Germany's support, so we can't declare war. We can only call it a war of resistance."
"I see!"
Wang Manxue suddenly realized what was going on. She took out a newspaper and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "This Japanese newspaper reported that their oil expert was assassinated and their oil survey equipment was attacked. They were so angry that they blamed it on Chief Muto and Tamon Saburo. They have been sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others."
Xiang Chu took the newspaper and sneered, "These devils are quite good at using the dead devils, but they can't get the oil, so this war can't be fought."
Wang Manxue shook her head and said, "How can we not fight? The international situation is really too good for the Japanese. It seems that Germany, Italy, Britain and the United States are all supporting them. Especially the United States. All the strategic war preparations for the Japanese invasion of China come from the United States."
Xiang Chu sneered and said, "I encouraged the devils to 'advance northward' in order to accelerate the depletion of their war supplies. Once the devils' reserves of gold, U.S. dollars and other hard currencies are used up, the American arms dealers will immediately cut off their supply.
As long as the Japanese cannot dig up oil in our country and their "advance northward" is blocked, they will definitely go south to Southeast Asia to grab oil, thus offending Britain, the United States and other countries. "
Wang Manxue said thoughtfully: "What if the Japanese 'Northward Advance' really wins?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "If they really adopt my strategy, the Japs will definitely win. But the Japs will definitely not be willing to withdraw their troops from the interior, so they will definitely lose. Win or lose, we will all benefit.
In order to deal with the chaos in Europe and preserve the Far East, the Soviet Union will certainly provide great assistance to my country and jointly fight against the devils. "
Wang Manxue hugged him tightly and said admiringly, "My dear! You have become a strategist."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Just a troublemaker!"
"No! I'm going to tell Sister Xi about this for you. It's not the people who fight and lose battles on the battlefield who can be promoted to generals. Only people like you who stir up the storm are qualified to be promoted."
Wang Manxue said angrily and sat in front of the radio to send a telegram.
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Send it! But it will be useless."
The next morning, Harbin Majiagou Airport.
Beichuan Jinxiu drove Xiang Chu and Wang Manxue to the helipad.
Xiang Chu instructed: "Cousin! Please take good care of the Harbin Fujiwara Branch. If anything happens, tell me immediately."
Beichuan Jinxiu nodded and said, "Don't worry! Uncle has already told us."
"Father is counting on you, do your best!"
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder, turned around and sat in the cockpit of the plane.
Beichuan Jinxiu shouted: "Cousin! You are Jinxiu's idol."
"Martial luck lasts forever!"
Xiang Chu waved to him, closed the cabin cover, and started the plane engine.
Soon, the plane slid onto the runway, sped forward, and rushed into the clouds.
Wang Manxue advised: "Dear! Fly steadily and don't roll around. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu said happily.
Fuso Country, Cabinet Intelligence Bureau.
Director Konoe Takeharu handed a document to Ming Qianxing and said with a smile: "Yiniao! Look at how good the Shadow Agency's strategy is. This is the true strategist of the Empire."
Ming Qianxing finished reading the document and shook his head, saying, "Director! Although we are in the 'Northward Advance' and non-expansion faction, the leaders and military leaders are in the 'Southward Advance' and expansion faction. I'm afraid this proposal will not pass."
Konoe Takeharu nodded and said, "You are right. Those short-sighted guys said before that they would surrender if we took over the Nanjing Chinese government, and later they said they would surrender if we took over the Wuhan Chinese government.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese government's resistance became increasingly fierce, and our national treasury was emptied and our manpower was depleted. How could we continue to fight?"
Ming Qianxing echoed, "Director! The Empire can occupy Manchuria, Korea, Taiwan, Ryukyu, and the Far East region of more than 600 million square kilometers, which makes it a superpower. Why should it get stuck in the quagmire of Shanhaiguan?"
At this time, Aoki Jinjun walked in and said with a fake smile: "Director! Ichidori! Aoki heard your conversation. The director of the film agency is in trouble."
Ming Qianxing asked anxiously: "Three birds! What do you mean?"
Aoki Jinjun said coldly: "The Shadow Agency instigated its subordinates to use fake military notes, and sent its subordinates to surround the Bamboo Agency, beat Doihara Ken'er half to death, and finally smashed the Bamboo Agency and burned it down.
Now that they have come up with this comprehensive "Northward Advance" plan, the boss is probably going to disband the Shadow Agency. Haha!"
Konoe Takeharu and Ming Qianxing looked at each other, knowing that Aoki Jinjun's words meant that he had used his connections to do something bad.
At this moment, the phone in the room rang.
Konoe Takeharu hurriedly picked up the phone, and after listening, he smiled bitterly and said, "You two! Let's go to the cabinet for a meeting. I think the report from the director of the Shadow Agency has caused a big incident."
Shanghai, Hongkou Airport.
Yu Xiaowan drove to pick up Xiang Chu and Wang Manxue.
Xiang Chu got off the plane and introduced: "Xiao Wan! This is Wang Manxue. Manxue! This is Yu Xiao Wan. You two are great masters in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and you will be a loving family in the future!"
"Get lost!"
Yu Xiaowan and Wang Manxue both roared like lions.
However, the two still greeted each other politely.
Xiang Chu drove away from Hongkou Airport.
Yu Xiaowan cried and said, "Brother Chu! Xiaowan has caused you a big trouble."
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "What big trouble can you cause? Tell me."
Yu Xiaowan smiled bitterly and said, "Last night, Doihara Xianer held Ye Shian and Sun Ji hostage and refused to let them go, and was torturing them. I led my men in and snatched Ye Shian and Sun Ji out..."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "You did the right thing. If you don't get it out, something bad will happen."
Yu Xiaowan continued, "But our people not only smashed the bamboo machine, but also beat Doihara Ken'er half to death."
Xiang Chu said in astonishment: "It would be enough to just beat Doihara Xian'er, why do we have to smash the bamboo mechanism?"
Yu Xiaowan lowered her head and said, "Ning Qiang and the others were so angry that they set fire to the bamboo mechanism."
"I really..."
Xiang Chu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Wang Manxue praised: "Sister Xiaowan! You did the right thing. I absolutely support you."
Yu Xiaowan smiled brightly and said, "Thank you for your support, but who is older between us? Can you tell me your fortune..."
OK! These two people completely ignored the collapsed Xiang Chu and compared who was older and who was younger.
