"Mr. Ping Chong, I am naturally very willing to believe in your kindness and friendship." Cheng Qianfan looked at Ping Chongyangyi, carefully selected his words, and said sincerely, "If it were something else, I would have agreed right away, but..."
"But what?" Ping Chongyang asked with a smile without being anxious.
"To be honest, Jiujiu Commerce currently has a huge food shortage." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "This is the military supply agreement I reached with the Wang Tianhai regime. You know my identity. If we can take this opportunity to reach a good cooperation with the military of the Wang Tianhai regime, it will be crucial for the empire to obtain intelligence from the Wang family and even strengthen its control over the military of the Wang Tianhai regime."
"In that case, Miyazaki-kun should not refuse my help." Ping Chongyang said, "Or, what are you worried about?"
"Then I'll be frank." Cheng Qianfan said, "I need a large amount of food and supplies. I'm afraid the food and supplies that Ping Zhongjun has can't meet my needs."
He said solemnly, "My partner, Peter, the Frenchman from the Political Department of the Police Station, has been trying his best to contact the relevant sources of goods."
"Hahaha." Ping Chongyang understood what Miyazaki Kentaro was worried about, and he laughed instead, "Miyazaki-kun, if that's what you're worried about, then you're worrying too much."
He smiled and said, "However much food Miyazaki-kun needs, I can provide it."
"Mr. Pingzhong, are you serious?" Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed at first, but then he looked hesitant.
"No joke."
"Excellent." Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed. He stood up and poured wine for Ping Chongyang. "Ping Chongjun has helped me a lot."
……
"Miyazaki-kun, I'll help you, but as for the price of this food..."
"Fifty yuan for a bag of rice." Cheng Qianfan said immediately.
"Miyazaki-kun, I treat you as a friend, but you are not honest." Ping Chongyang shook his head, "I have inquired, and the current market price of rice is 73 yuan."
Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression, then a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Mr. Pingzhong, the market price of the high-quality rice you mentioned, the soldiers of Wang Tianhai's regime have low combat effectiveness and are not worthy of enjoying such good rice."
"What does Miyazaki-kun mean?"
Cheng Qianfan chuckled, "Since it's rice, it's inevitable that there are some stones and sand mixed in it."
Ping Chongyang laughed out loud, "Sixty yuan, one price."
"Deal." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and nodded.
After reaching an agreement, the two clinked their glasses to celebrate.
"Ping Zhongjun is really a timely help." Cheng Qianfan said happily, "I am so happy to have a friend like Ping Zhongjun."
He handed a cigarette to Ping Chongyangyi, "It's a pity that Mr. Ping Chong will have to return to the front line in northern Hubei after finishing his work here."
"Mr. Miyazaki seems to have heard something?" Ping Chongyang looked at Miyazaki Kentaro deeply.
"Mr. Pingzhong, don't be suspicious." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Chongqing Chiang Kai-shek's regime relied on the northern Hubei defense line to block the advance of the locust army. The empire has long intended to take over Yichang and other places to force Chiang Kai-shek's regime to surrender..."
As he spoke, he looked at Ping Chongyangyi, smiled bitterly and said, "The teacher often teaches me lessons and even assigns me assignments."
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Regarding the confrontation between the Empire and Chiang Kai-shek's regime in northern Hubei, and how the Empire opened up the situation, I often accepted the teacher's homework inspection."
"Counselor Imamura is indeed a teacher." Ping Chongyang laughed.
He still expressed his belief in what Kentaro Miyazaki said, which was consistent with his understanding of Heitaro Imamura's character.
……
"The so-called return of the Wang Tianhai regime to Nanjing is imminent, and this batch of food is very urgent." Cheng Qianfan said, "I hope that Ping Zhongjun can speed up the process."
"Don't worry, Mr. Miyazaki. This batch of grain will arrive in Shanghai before the end of the month." Ping Chongyang nodded and said.
"I only recognize you, Ping Zhongjun, for this batch of goods." Cheng Qianfan said suddenly.
"Hahaha!" Ping Chongyang laughed loudly, "Okay, I'll come and take over from Miyazaki-kun in person then."
"Then I feel relieved." Cheng Qianfan said happily.
……
Just at this time, I heard faint sounds of explosions and fierce gunfire.
"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and asked, "Did the Chinese army strike back at Shanghai?"
As he said this, he shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. In the vicinity of Shanghai, there are only a few active New Fourth Army units of the Red Party and the so-called Loyal National Salvation Army in Chongqing."
He frowned and said, "The Red Party's New Fourth Army is poorly equipped and undermanned, so they dare not come to Shanghai. The Loyal and Patriotic Army is now being surrounded and suppressed by the Locust Army and is left with only a lingering breath."
"From the sound, does Miyazaki know where the battle is taking place?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"It should be the direction of Pukou Road." Cheng Qianfan stood at the window and looked over, thought for a while and said.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
"Mr. Miyazaki, have you thought of anything?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"Major General Seiichiro Toda, the commander of the newly formed 5th Reserve Brigade of the Locust Army, is holding a birthday banquet at the Pukou Hotel today." Cheng Qianfan said.
"So, anti-Japanese elements attacked Major General Toda's birthday party?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"It's possible." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Ping Zhongjun, please sit down for a moment. I'll make a phone call."
"Please make yourself at home, Miyazaki-kun."
……
After a while, Cheng Qianfan came back.
"Our guess should be correct." Cheng Qianfan said, "The police station also received relevant intelligence that the Pukou Hotel on Pukou Road was attacked by thugs."
"Mr. Pingzhong, the matter is serious. I need to go back to the police station first, and then go to the Special High Section. Excuse me." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"Miyazaki-kun, please do as you please."
"Ping Zhongjun, judging from the explosions and gunshots, the fighting in the direction of Pukou Road is quite fierce." Cheng Qianfan said, "For safety reasons, Ping Zhongjun should temporarily rest in the French Concession tonight. I will help you arrange accommodation."
"In that case, thank you for bothering me." Ping Chongyang nodded slightly.
Cheng Qianfan called out, and Li Hao knocked on the door and came in.
"Haozi, I'm going back to the police station. Please help Mr. Pingzhong find a place to stay." Cheng Qianfan said, "Just go to Xiafei Road. It's convenient."
"clear."
……
Pukou Road.
The gunfire had ceased.
Japanese tanks appeared on the road, and a large number of Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition were searching the streets.
Two military trucks came roaring in, guarding several cars from the front and back, and stopped outside the Pukou Hotel.
Junichiro Ikeuchi got out of the car with a very gloomy face.
"Commander." Umezumi Sae walked out of the Urakatsuki Hotel and trotted to Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"What's going on inside?" asked Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"It's horrible." Umezumi Saeki used this word with a serious expression.
