"This Masahiko Kasubata hasn't even received anyone. It's really incompetent!" Koiki Aki put down the phone and said dissatisfiedly.

"After all, Gan Yujun has just taken office for a while, and the intelligence network we have been destroyed there, so it is inevitable that the information cannot be transmitted!" Ishihara said with a smile on his face.

"But, our military is not as well-informed as a private company. Isn't this a joke?"

"Mr. Funego is not an ordinary person. He is the one who inherited Mr. Sakai's mantra. What is Mr. Sakai's identity? You must not know, right?"

"I know this, but it's really embarrassing!"

"Your Excellency Koi, whether it is the military or the civilian, it is our great Japanese empire, right? Don't you be impatient. Miss Yumi knows the relationship here? Why did she change her route back?"

"You mean, the Chinese people will monitor along the way, but when they are in our controlled area, how can the Chinese people monitor?"

"Don't forget, here we haven't really become masters!"

"Ishihara kun..."

"Report!"

"Come in!" Matsumoto Yuichi walked in.

"What's the matter?"

"His Excellency Chief of Staff, I just received a telegram from the Hull-waisted Gold Mine. Please check it out!"

"Cuddle waist gold mine!" Koikikio took the message, glanced at it for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.

"But the hunchback gold mine has changed?" Ishihara asked.

"Look at it!" Koiki Aki handed the telegram to Ishihara, then waved to Matsumoto Yu. "You go down first, call you if you have something to do!"

"An unexpected thing!" Ishihara Kaner finished reading the telegram quickly. He returned the telegram to Koiki Akira and said calmly.

"Do you know that the underground vault of the Tuftwall Gold Mine Bureau is buried with as many as ten tons of gold. If the Chinese army gets this batch of gold, they will be more powerful!"

"One Thousand Three Million yen (750 mg of gold equals one yen), this is indeed a huge sum of money. For the Chia Army, which is currently in financial difficulties, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of wealth!" Ishihara Kaner quickly calculated.

"Yes. This is enough to make the maintenance of the China Army consumed for a year!" Koiki Akira said.

"If they don't spend this money directly, with this batch of gold as reserve, they can issue their own currency, which is different!" Ishihara smiled.

"You mean, they will use this batch of gold to issue currencies?"

"If I were a Chinese, I would definitely do this, not to mention that all the financial branches of North Manchuria are controlled by several foreign banks such as the Soviet Union. Although the Chinese also issue currency, the circulation volume has never been mainstream. If the financials of North Manchuria can be unified, our opponents' strength will increase several times!" Ishihara Kanir said worriedly.

"It's too late to say anything now. The Chinese army may have captured the hunchback now. It's a foregone conclusion that this batch of gold falls into the hands of the Chinese people!"

"Not necessarily. I know Kiyomizu-kun. He will always keep a backup plan when doing things, not to mention that he is deeply involved in the enemy-occupied area. He will not be unaware of the consequences of this batch of gold falling into the hands of the Chinese people!" Ishihara smiled.

"You mean, the Chinese may not necessarily get this batch of gold?" Koiki Aki was shocked.

"I can't say anything. The telegram said that Kiyomizuki disappeared the night before the Chinese attack, and he disappeared with Major Fujiwara. Could it be that Kiyomizuki knew that the Chinese army was going to attack and evacuate early?"

"If you evacuate early, the fastest way is to take a plane. Didn't a transport plane go to the Camel-waisted Gold Mine yesterday?"

"Yes, it was a transport aircraft for supply. It was originally planned to transport a batch of gold back, but now there is no news. I don't know what the situation is going on!" Koiki Akira said helplessly.

"If the Chinese people don't find gold, it's a chance for us!" Koiki Akira said.

"His Excellency Xiao Izu, do you still want to transport the gold back secretly?"

"Why not? The Chinese people don't have planes. We have one. As long as we have an airport, our planes can land. Ten tons of gold, just sending five transport planes is enough!" Koi Iso Kyoto said.

"Old Master Koi, I personally recommend that you not transport gold back. As long as the Chinese people don't find gold, don't worry about it!" Ishihara smiled.

"But the Kwantung Army is now in financial shortage and needs a huge amount of funds. Do you understand? Ishihara Jun, the military headquarters does not have too much military expenditure. To rebuild the Fengtian Arsenal, we must do it ourselves!" Koiki Akira said.

"If we don't have money, we can borrow money or let Manchukuo issue treasury bonds. These are all ways to raise funds. If we are sure to get this batch of gold back, that is the best. But if we can't get it back, it will lose troops and generals and consume the secrets we have laid in North Manchuria, which will be more than worth the loss!" Ishihara smiled.

"I understand your concerns, I won't act recklessly!" Koiki Aki nodded, and he admitted that Ishihara Kanir was very correct.

"Information says heavy snow fell in Beiman City, and the Chinese military and civilians lacked cotton coats and cold-proof items, so they have asked their citizens for help. Warlords from Shanxi, Beiping, Sichuan and other places are raising cold-proof items for them?"

"Yes, Yan Xishan from Shanxi promised to give Beiman to 100,000 yuan of cotton coats, cotton, cloth, and Zhang Hanqing from Peking, to prepare a lot of cotton coats and quilts for protection against the cold, and prepare to transport them to Beiman in the near future!"

"How do they transport it? Does it take at least one month to transport it by sea?"

"I don't know, I may take two routes, from Inner Mongolia to North Manchuria, and from the sea to Vladivostok, and then transport to North Manchuria by land!"

"Why don't you import directly from Russia? With their current relationship, as long as you have money, this should be fine!" Ishihara Kanji said in confusion.

"The Russians' things are not that easy to take. Our opponents are not willing to be Russian puppets, so they would rather spend more money and take a long way than accept the Russians' charity with conditions!" Koiki Akira Koi.

"So, the situation is still beneficial to us!" Ishihara said. "As long as the Chinese army distrusts the Russians, they will inevitably remain vigilant against the Russian side. At the same time, they must be guarded against us. This will inevitably consume part of their troops and a heavy burden on their logistics!" Ishihara said.

"The above still has great hope in the peace talks, but the attitudes of Britain, the United States and other countries in the international community are very unfavorable to us. The Chinese military does not accept the existence of Manchukuo, and we are bound to be unable to give in. As long as we give in, we will lose the justice of the war. At the same time, we will also fall into a passive diplomacy!" said Akira Koi Iso.

"If the empire's attitude remains unchanged, will we really want to withdraw from the National League?" Ishihara asked.

"The above means this, but it depends on the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor!" Koiki Akira said.

"The rice must be eaten one bite at a time. The empire's steps are a bit big. At this stage, we are consolidating our current interests in Manchuria. Let's talk about other things!" Ishihara smiled.

"Your idea is similar to the leaders of the cabinet, but many people still hope to gain more benefits. The Great Japanese Empire has not suffered such a great failure in foreign wars in the past century, so many people find it difficult to accept this fact!" said Akira Koi Iso.

"If you continue to fight, how much chance of winning will you think?"

"The chance of winning is less than 30%. Even if we defeat the Chinese army and unify Manchuria, we will face a strong Soviet Russia. Although they started the civil war, they will not decide the outcome when they fight!" Koi Iso Kyoto no longer has the arrogance of coming to Manchuria at the time. The remarks of "pacifying Manchuria in three months" have long been thrown into Java.

"Why didn't the Rachina army join the Manchukuo regime?"

"This is impossible. They don't recognize Manchukuo. How could they join?"

"Maybe I was so whimsical, I think I could give it a try. Even if it didn't work, it could also show that we are sincere in the peace talks!"

"The public opinion offensive may have a certain effect, but the impact is not great. The Chinese army will not be so stupid!"

"We can use international pressure to propose a solution to the situation in Manchuria!" Ishihara smiled.

"What do you want to do?" Koiki Aki was stunned and expressed a little surprise at Ishihara Kanir's wild imagination.

"A South Manchuria Autonomous ZF is established, and the United Kingdom, the United States, and France are invited to intervene in the mediation..."

"This is equivalent to giving up Manchukuo, and the country will not agree. And if we do this, wouldn't we betray others?"

"The Qing Dynasty was not established in one day, so don't they understand this principle?"

"Then is this a compromise?"

"If you don't allow it, what else can you do? In fact, it's just a different title. We can also take this opportunity to ask for war funds from Manchukuo. After all, we are fighting for Manchukuo now!"

"Let me think about it. If you can get the approval of Commander Muto, it may be a turning point in the situation in Manchuria!" Koiki Aki frowned.

"I just suggest that if you say something to Commander Muto, it is best not to say me. He is a little dissatisfied with me!" Ishihara smiled.

"Is it still for the Liaoyang incident?"

"In his eyes, I am still labeled as a spy!" Ishihara smiled bitterly.

"Your case is so bizarre. I have investigated it privately. Unless the radio operator deliberately frames you, it is really hard to explain why he sent such a telegram before Yuzai!" said Koiki Aki.

"I'm also puzzled. I don't know the radio operator at all, and I haven't even said a few words. Why did he..."

"Forget it, everything has passed, there is no direct evidence to prove that you are a spy. Besides, for so long, you have done a lot of things for the empire, which is obvious to all. Although you were ordered to retire from active service, maybe one day, you will still have the chance to come back!" Koiki Akira comforted.

"Forget it, with my current situation, the army is no longer suitable. I'd better wait until things come to an end!" Ishihara smiled and said with a wry smile.

"Ishihara kun..."

"Report, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, the Huowei Gold Mine Bureau sent a farewell message, and the message was signed as Captain Ueno!"
