Qin Chuanyuan planned to discuss with Yan Zhendong to jointly establish a shipping company in the United States and integrate the ships under Yan Zhendong's name into the new company, because World War II was an excellent period for the development of shipping. At that time, shipping prices skyrocketed, as long as the ship did not sink.

, in a few years, one ship can earn back more than a dozen ships, which means there will be more than ten times the profit.

Moreover, Qin Chuan has now asked his sister-in-law to instruct Smith to register a company called Pan American Shipping in Los Angeles through an investment company in New York, USA, and has already invested more than 3 million yuan in advance from several patents of Qin Chuan into this company.

The company has borrowed another two million US dollars, totaling US$5 million. Taking advantage of the current relatively downturn in shipping, it has purchased fifteen cargo ships worth more than 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, and is currently recruiting sailors.

When investing in stocks in the United States, in addition to oil, steel and precious metals such as gold and copper, there are also stocks in the arms, aircraft and shipbuilding industries. Not only did stocks in other industries not rise significantly, but they also experienced large declines.

However, even those company stocks that rose only increased three or four times by the end of World War II.

But Qin Chuan decided to wait after thinking about it. If he invited Yan Zhendong to jointly establish a company abroad now, he was worried that Yan Zhendong would not agree because it would be difficult to leave his hometown.

When setting up a company in Hong Kong, it will soon be occupied by the Japanese, which is not an ideal place.

Qin Chuan walked out of Yan Zhendong's office, and then walked into the large Go room as if he had nothing to do. It was very deserted. Only Pan Langdong and Wang Ziyan each occupied a corner to guide their disciples to play chess, and Wei Ningbo

Then they stood in front of the chessboard where Pan Langdong's two disciples were playing chess and watched with their hands behind their backs.

Seeing Qin Chuan, Pan Langdong and Wei Ningbo both smiled and greeted Qin Chuan. Wang Ziyan on the other side also waved his hand to Qin Chuan as a greeting.

Qin Chuan greeted the three of them and then asked Wei Ningbo with a smile.

"Brother Jinghai, why do you have time to come here today, and why do you come here so early in the afternoon?"

Wei Ningbo also smiled and said, "I am not as free as you, the secretary-general. I came here in the morning. Someone from Hankou's National Essence Chess Club contacted me about training young chess players. I have reached an agreement with them. Every year they

We can select two to three young chess players recruited from Hubei Province and send them to the association. In addition, we have also negotiated with them that they will publish our association's publications in Hubei Province."

"At noon, I was invited by Mr. Yan to discuss school matters again. I need your help with something now. After having lunch at the club, I was not in a hurry to go back. I was planning to go to your inspection room to find you later.

I didn’t expect you to come here, but how could you, a busy person, be so free today and have time to come to the association?”

Although Qin Chuan is the secretary-general, except for managing the fund operation of the foundation, he basically does not interfere in other matters. Several deputy secretaries-general are responsible for it. For example, Wei Ningbo is responsible for the promotion and publicity of Go.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I am no match for you, the principal. I had lunch outside and saw that I still had time, so I came over for a walk. I had to rush back to the company in the afternoon as I still had things to do over there.

”

Qin Chuan said to Wei Ningbo again, "If it's not a big deal, how about we just play a game of chess and talk about it?"

Wei Ningbo hesitated and said, "Okay, let's just play chess and talk about things."

Qin Chuan and Wei Ningbo came to the corner where they usually sat. It was next to the window and the air flow was clear. In addition, the electric fan beside the seat was blowing fiercely. In this stuffy summer room, it didn't feel too hot.<

/p>

As soon as the two of them sat down, the waiter brought a few bottles of cold beer and cups. This was a habit of the two of them, and the waiters here knew it very well.

In order to retain the "Spring and Autumn Go Association" and its foundation, the major sponsors of the "Qingping Club" worked very hard. Not only did they not charge rent, but they also promised that their spending in the club could be the same as that of the club's members.

, but after the Go Association and the foundation held a meeting to discuss, they only accepted the club’s good offer of rent exemption, but refused to make the agreement.

People from the Association and the Foundation came up with suggestions from members. In the end, both parties gave in. The Association and the Foundation only accepted the free supply of beer and coffee, but they still had to pay for meals, so now there is a small restaurant on the third floor. They need

For lunch or dinner, just tell the kitchen on the first floor the quantity and name of the food in advance, and they will order it individually.

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Wei Ningbo dropped a black stone on the chessboard and whispered, "Chengji, is there any urgent matter for inviting me here today?"

Qin Chuan said in a low voice while making his move, "I asked you to do so, but I really need to inform you of a few things. First, I want to remind you that there will be a war in Shanghai soon. I estimate that it will happen in a few days."

You should prepare for the internal affairs as soon as possible;"

"Secondly, Yushi Seita had a showdown with me yesterday to instigate rebellion against me. In addition to Satomi, there were two other people present. One of these two people is named Inukai Ken. He is the son of former Japanese Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi and a writer.

, who once served as a member of the House of Representatives and a secretary-general, and is now a counselor of the Japanese Ministry of Communications came to Jinling to try to instigate anti-KMT members. According to the news from the Secret Service, this person did not gain anything and returned to China last night.

"There is another person named Shimizu Dongsan, who is currently the secretary of the Shanghai Consulate. However, Inu Yangken and Shimizu Dongsan left for Jinling after talking to me. According to the intelligence obtained by the Secret Service, Shimizu Dongsan

Affiliated to the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, he went to Jinling to accompany Ken Inukai."

"I have agreed to work for them, but it seems that the Japanese hope that I can get into the Kuomintang, preferably into key departments, such as the Secret Service or the Party Investigation Department, because he took the initiative to provide me with

A true piece of information is that the Japanese quietly stationed two thousand marines at the Hongkou barracks the day before yesterday. He also asked me to help find out whether the Hongqiao Airport security team is a regular army and the real situation at the scene of the shooting incident."

"The third thing is that just in the morning, according to the arrangement of our director, Zhou Yinglong, the director of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region of the Secret Service, and one of their operational captains named Wan Lilang met with me. They asked me to join the Shanghai Special Administrative Region Station of the Secret Service.

, and asked me to work hard to build good relations with the Japanese in Shanghai. Judging from the situation, they wanted me to infiltrate the Japanese and become their undercover after the fall of Shanghai."

"The fourth thing, according to the arrangement of the director, someone arranged by the director will come tomorrow to create an opportunity for me to obtain information about Hongqiao Airport. As for how much the Japanese will know and to what extent, I don't know.

This is also one of the reasons why I judge that war will begin soon."

"Of course, the Shanghai Special Administrative Region Station of the Secret Service does not know my true identity, and I have obtained the tacit consent of the director. I will tell the Japanese about my meeting with Zhou Yinglong this morning, that is, Seita Yushi. I guess

, the director’s intention is also for me to gain the trust of the Japanese as soon as possible, so as to infiltrate the Japanese people. This point is the same as that of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region, but the Shanghai Special Administrative Region does not know that they will be betrayed.”

So many things happened in just two days, which made Wei Ningbo couldn't help but be surprised. After thinking for a while, Wei Ningbo said, "Why do you think there will be a fight in Shanghai soon? This case

The matter is also very important to us, please explain the reasons in detail."

Qin Chuan sighed in a low voice and said, "I won't talk about the Japanese troop increase. I suspect that this is probably because the Japanese navy wants to increase its presence and actively provoke trouble, because at the beginning of the year, the Japanese

The Minister of the Navy and current commander of the Combined Fleet, Yong Yexiu, visited Du Mansion and I also met with him. According to the information sent to us by the Secret Service, the Japanese Navy advocates opening up a southern battlefield in our country."

"On the other hand, according to the information I know, the Kuomintang has not only secretly deployed troops around Shanghai, but they are also probably the most elite German weapon divisions, which are the two standard German weapon divisions of 87 and 88.

There is also the Second Division of the Central Army of the Class A Division, which is equipped with a large number of German-made weapons. A few days ago, a large number of officers from the 87th and 88th Divisions entered the urban area and the concession in civilian clothes. They probably came to check the terrain on the spot and did not want to be caught by the Japanese.

People noticed."

"There is also Hongqiao Airport. You should already know this. The real situation is that the so-called security forces stationed there are actually the 659th Regiment of the Second Division's Supplementary Brigade. The Japanese Marine Corps Isamu Oyama led a Japanese

Marine Corps sergeant first class, wearing military uniform and carrying

Wearing weapons, he attempted to break into Hongqiao Airport and was shot dead by the 659th Regiment. In order to prevent the Japanese from using this as an excuse, they put a death row prisoner into a security uniform and shot him at the airport gate. It was difficult to hide this matter from the Japanese, and the Japanese

People are desperate to find an excuse to start a war."

After Wei Ningbo made a move, Qin Chuan twisted a chess piece and continued, "Based on the above, I judge that the war should start within a few days, or even probably within two or three days, so I suggest

You must seize the time to prepare for emergencies."

Wei Ningbo nodded and said, "Since you told me about contingency preparations last time, not only have most of the people in the organization I lead made arrangements, the rest of the people have also made contingency arrangements for them. Safety should be

There will be no big problem, and I have also informed Zetian of your suggestion. Zetian also attaches great importance to your suggestion. He has already notified our other system organizations in Shanghai to make contingency preparations."

Qin Chuan is clear about HD's intelligence system in Shanghai. Their intelligence organization in Shanghai is very complicated and even a little chaotic.

In Qin Chuan's past life, there is a lot of information about Shanghai HD's underground intelligence personnel. In this regard, Qin Chuan not only knows more than Wei Ningbo, but he even knows more about some things than Zetian, the HD intelligence chief.

Important leadership at work

The characters need to be clear.

HD in Shanghai not only has intelligence organizations and personnel directly dispatched by Zetian like Wei Ningbo and his eldest brother, but also intelligence personnel from the Provincial Party Committee of Z and the Shanghai Municipal Committee. Even due to historical reasons and the confidentiality of the intelligence system,

The reason for adopting a single line of contact is that a group of downlines developed by an HD important person who has been fighting in the white area for a long time and whose level is no lower than Sawada. These people only contact and receive instructions from that important person, and more

GCGJ's intelligence organization in Shanghai.

Although such a complex intelligence system will never affect the entire Shanghai intelligence system because of a problem in one intelligence organization, there is still a problem that important information cannot be alerted in time, resulting in losses.

Wei Ningbo added, "Due to the intelligence you disclosed last time about the guerrillas in the southern provinces, our party's senior officials negotiated with Jinling and they agreed that we would integrate these guerrillas and reorganize them, and then send senior cadres to contact various places.

The local guerrillas have achieved significant

As a result, we have now contacted dozens of guerrilla groups with more than 8,000 people. According to our estimates, even if we don’t count the Qiongya guerrillas that Jinling does not recognize, the guerrillas in these provinces will exceed 10,000 people. Based on this,

Basically we will reorganize into a strong army."

"Now, important leaders of our party are negotiating with the Kuomintang in Jinling on the reorganization of the troops. The reorganization of the southern guerrillas and the reorganization of the troops in Shaanxi have been negotiated together."

"For this reason, Zetian specially sent a telegram to praise you and mark your great contribution. At the same time, Zetian hopes that you will continue your efforts and strive to make new achievements as soon as possible."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little excited to record a great contribution. The more such achievements, the more secure he will be in the future.

Qin Chuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, smiled slightly and said, "If you have the opportunity, give Zetian a message for me. Thank you for the organization. I will definitely continue to work hard."

Wei Ningbo said while making his move, "That's no problem. Zetian is in Jinling now. He came with our party's negotiation delegation. I can convey it."

"There is also good news to tell you. Regarding the reorganization of our troops, due to the tense situation, Jinling has loosened its attitude towards negotiations. And the prediction of the war you mentioned this time is also very important. I will also

Report it as soon as possible. If war breaks out, it is very likely that an agreement will be reached in the near future."

Regarding the reorganization of the HD army, Qin Chuan remembered that it was on the 15th of August, which was four days later.
