Chapter 67 67. The future of gold

Kenji Miyaguchi's car stopped in front of Nobuo Tokugawa's gate, but he didn't get out of the car immediately, but glanced at the house next door. The yard was quiet, and there was a black Dodge parked not far from the door. The three people guarding inside could be seen at a glance as descendants of the Yamato nation, presumably they were sent by the North China Commander to monitor Ding Shaomei.This brat is causing trouble everywhere, and in a few days he will be promoted as the chairman of the intelligence committee. I'm afraid he will have a headache in the future.But what to do?Mastering the intelligence market is my life's work, and it is also the best opportunity in this life.

Makoto walked to the door with small steps and said that the master was about to go out. "I'm causing you trouble." Miyaguchi Kenji said some polite words to the teacher according to the rules, but he didn't intend to leave immediately. "You didn't come here to intercede for Ding Shaomei, did you?" Tokugawa Nobuo was very dissatisfied with this unscrupulous student. "Please forgive me, I did come here to intercede on his behalf." Kenji Miyaguchi kept his mind steady, and spoke clearly and clearly. "I've heard about the Taikoo Shipping Company. The people you sent failed. I have to report this matter to the military department and ask them to mediate."

Early this morning, Kenji Miyaguchi wrote two reports to the military department, one was about Pierre Grande, and he had an explanation for the leak of the German-Soviet Treaty, but he didn’t mention Pierre Grande at all. With this matter in his hands, Young Master Ding was right, he had to seek self-protection first, and then seek development.The second report is the current relationship between him and Tokugawa Nobuo. Now there is such a senior emperor who has no position, no power, but a lot of qualifications, telling him what to do, which greatly hinders his work. At the same time, he is also honest. Politely revealed the fact that Tokugawa Nobuo cooperated with the British government in attacking Union Bank Notes. State affairs are different from family affairs, and the relationship between teachers and students does not have much weight here.However, in this matter, he racked his brains to find several excuses for Ding Shaomei.

Just after the report was sent out, he received three more orders. Strangely, they were three completely different orders from different channels.One order ordered him to assist in recovering the more than 20 million funds defrauded by Ding Shaomei, and if he failed, he would be killed; the other order ordered him to quickly rectify the local intelligence market, immediately put Ding Shaomei in power, and concentrate power and intelligence in Japan. The third order ordered him to kidnap Ding Shaomei immediately and take the first ship back to Japan. Due to the unstable exchange rate of the German mark, the yen, which was recently pegged to the mark, was greatly affected. There is an urgent need for a "magician" to come and give advice.

The longer the battle line is stretched, the bigger the local headquarters will be. Every department is trying to seize power and personnel. A non-military and non-civilian spy like him, after several coups and several reorganizations in the military department, is Everyone wants to control the "living capital" in their own hands. They don't know the suffering of decades in foreign countries!He was a little sad, and at the same time, he often felt that such contradictory instructions were not a bad thing. In case of a mistake, they could be used to resist each other. Tokugawa Nobuo asked: "You must have reported the issue of the Union Bank Securities?"

"Excuse me, the report was sent out this morning." Tokugawa Nobuo pondered for a while, then said, "You have finally betrayed the teacher." "I'm sorry, state affairs are the most important thing." Miyaguchi Kenji immediately knelt down on the ground to apologize, as a courtesy to all teachers and students. Tokugawa Nobuo lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it. He stared blankly at the rising smoke, his snow-white mustache trembling. "Go ahead. If someone like me lived to be 83 years old, how can there be any strange things that you can't see, let alone a student betraying a teacher?" He waved to Miyaguchi Kenji who was still kneeling on the ground. "If my predictions are correct, it may take as long as 5 days or as little as 3 days, and the telegram from the base camp will reach the commander. Those young boys in the military department never know how to respect the elderly, and they will never give I keep a little bit of decency, even if it's a decent suicide."

In the afternoon Ding Shaomei came to the Salt Bank to arrange the delivery of gold.Everything is easy to handle in the concession, but once the concession is occupied by Japanese soldiers, it is difficult to transport such a large amount of gold to the Oriental Princess cruise ship without showing their traces.It was only at this time that Bao Youxian's ability was truly shown. He had a wide range of contacts, was generous, and had acquaintances all over the world.He handed over the transportation of the section from the Salt Bank to the Taikoo Wharf in the concession to the feet.This is the kind of gang-like organization that specializes in transportation. Each dock and station has its own footsteps, and they don't communicate with each other. Once they communicate, they will fight and fight.The company he entrusted has been in business since the opening of the local port, with a history of more than 60 years. It monopolizes the British merchant Taikoo Wharf, and the goods are handed over to them without any mistakes.

The outer packaging of gold bars is always pine crate, which is a special box for transporting silver dollars. Because the import and export of silver has not been strictly controlled recently, this camouflage can prevent people from being suspicious because of the weight of the box. From the Concession Wharf to the Tanggu Wharf, this section of the waterway is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese and is not safe. However, Bao Youxian is so powerful that he bought the water anti-smuggling team. Their six motorboats took the opportunity of patrolling the Haihe River to go back and forth twice. , all the goods can be transported there. "It will take about a whole night. I'm afraid I won't have time to go home and pack my luggage." Bao Youxian said when he parted with Ding Shaomei. "I have to go with the first ship. I will arrange the matter on the side of the Oriental Princess, and please let Ms. Guan and Song Wanwan preside over the matter of departure later."

Ding Shaomei didn't speak, just nodded, and held his hand tightly, not letting go for a long time.He fell in love with this quiet young man a little bit, and wondered if he would like to go out into the world with him. It was evening when I got home, and Mrs. Song said that someone from the next door had invited her twice, and that the old man had invited his goddaughter and Mr. Ding to dinner. Fan Xiaoqing didn't know where he went, and he hasn't come back yet.Ding Shaomei brought five girls to see Tokugawa Nobuo. "It's a pleasure to meet you." The old man didn't seem to be saying polite words, and there were tears in his eyes. However, Young Master Ding would never believe the spy's expression, and he just pretended not to see it.

Returning to the living room after dinner, Tokugawa Nobuo said: "Since ancient times, true friends have always gathered less and separated more. Before long, I have to go back to the country. I'm afraid you and I can only push back the bet." gone." If the sniper attack on the Union Bank is successful, and he becomes the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, this old guy can only commit suicide by caesarean section. This was the agreement with Nobuo Tokugawa when he admitted his identity.Now that I was careless for a moment, I gave him a chance to talk.Ding Shaomei was a little angry, and said: "I just want to know one thing. I will definitely be elected as the chairman of the committee the day after tomorrow, and the matter of the Union Bank Securities will only be resolved in a month or so. By then, what would you do?"

"I am eagerly looking forward to your success. Please write me a letter when the time comes. I will definitely act according to the agreement and never break my promise." Tokugawa Nobuo sighed. "It's just that it's a great pity that I couldn't invite you to watch the ceremony at that time." Ding Shaomei smiled beautifully, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrive in Japan by boat, and you must wait for me." You are my father-killing enemy, and it is my greatest wish to be able to watch you die . Tokugawa Nobuo suddenly remembered something: "Oh, when you come, please don't forget to bring me two pieces of your kind of big five blessing white cloth." "What for?" he asked.Tokugawa Nobuo said: "It was a big scene, and white cloth must be used, but, you know, we have some troubles there now, there is not much cotton..." Ding Shaomei asked curiously: "For many days, I always wondered what kind of scene it would be like?" "It's a dance of honor and dignity." Tokugawa Nobuo looked past Ding Shaomei, as if looking at the far distance behind him. "For ordinary poor samurai to have caesarean section, the most honorable way is to hold a ceremony in a family's home, which is also a decent thing for that family, so he will pay for everything. My ancestors were warriors of the Emperor, and they are Family, since this happened, there must be a lot of people coming to watch the ceremony, after all, such things have been rare in recent decades." He spoke calmly, as if he was talking about his birthday: "I have hundreds of relatives and friends scattered all over the country who will come to watch the ceremony. They may not be there for my son's wedding, but this time they will definitely be there. Of course, everyone It's men, women are not eligible to participate. I hope that is a day when the chrysanthemums bloom...." Ding Shaomei interjected: "It should be the end of September and the beginning of October, time is running out, you have to hurry up and prepare." "Then you have to really show some skills, don't let me be happy for nothing." Tokugawa Nobuo clapped his hands and called Mako in, asking her to change tea.After a while, she served three cups of cocoa.He said: "This is brought to me by the ambassador in Brazil. Please taste it." He took two sips first, then opened his eyes suddenly, and said happily: "I almost forgot, there are still gifts not brought out." He got up and went to the study. Wu Niu likes sweets, seeing her drinking happily, Ding Shaomei poured her own glass into hers as well. "Well, it's really delicious." After drinking two cups, Wu Niu seemed to be unsatisfied.Ding Shaomei took her hand and said with a smile: "I'll buy it for you later, this kind of food won't make your husband hungry." Tokugawa Nobuo came back with a tall and big box in his arms, and said, "Goddaughter, this was just delivered from Japan this morning. It is a little thought from the adoptive father. When you see them, you can recall a little bit of the benefits of the adoptive father." .” Back home, Wu Niu anxiously unpacked the box. Inside were two glass boxes one and a half feet high, and inside were two exquisite Japanese dolls—a samurai and a princess. Perhaps the sashimi he ate was not suitable for the spleen and stomach. That night, Wu Niu began to have diarrhea.
