Chapter 611 Let Me Play with the Mud
Chen Yang never thought that there has always been a spy in history who was troubled by being trusted too much.
Other agents live their entire lives in fear and tread on thin ice, fearing that any wrong action would arouse the enemy's suspicion.
Moreover, as long as the news leaks, no matter who it is, they will suspect him.
But when it comes to Chen Yang, he doesn't know what to choose because he is trusted by both the navy and the army.
The navy treats him as one of their own, and the army also treats him as one of their own. How can he do this job?
In fact, Chen Yang knew very well that at this point, what the navy and the army valued was not his ability but his attitude.
The network he has covers naval logistics and army logistics.
While both parties are gaining huge benefits, they are also worried about the other party gaining benefits.
Especially the army, their control over oil has reached a crazy level.
They would rather store a lot of crude oil than supply it to the navy.
"Ding-ling-ling." The phone rang. Chen Yang picked up the phone and the voice on the other end was Fujiwara Shizuka's.
Chen Yang was stunned when he heard the voice. In early May, Fujiwara Shizuka was seconded to the Hankou Bamboo Agency to participate in the code-breaking work of the front-line military radio station.
The fact that they were able to locate the location of General Meihua's headquarters was a credit to their group.
Now, Yichang City has just been occupied by the Japanese, and the Fifth War Zone is organizing officers and soldiers to counterattack. Fujiwara Shizuka should stay in Hankou with the secret code group.
After the two chatted for a while, Chen Yang learned that on June 11, the Japanese occupied the city of Yichang, and the officers and soldiers of the Fifth War Zone did organize several counterattacks.
However, due to insufficient support, the Fifth War Zone only captured Yichang City for one day and lost it again the next day.
However, after being occupied by the Japanese this time, the Fifth War Zone no longer had enough troops to launch a counterattack.
Lieutenant General Sonobe Kazuichiro also took the opportunity to announce that the 11th Army's attack on Hubei had achieved its predetermined goals and won a victory.
Next, the troops will build an airport with Yichang as the center and carry out irregular bombings on the southwest region. The purpose is to force the National Government to sit down for negotiations and sign a surrender treaty.
However, the Japanese clearly underestimated the Chinese people's determination to fight the war.
Even though they lost Yichang, the morale of the various units remained high and they were not prepared to admit defeat.
"Come over for dinner after work. Mom has something to tell you." After saying this, Fujiwara Shizuka hung up the phone.
Coincidentally, Chen Yang also wanted to ask Li Xianshu's opinion on something.
In the evening, half past five.
Junxiao Takada drove a black car to take Chen Yang to the Japanese villa area.
Inside the villa, the maid Chiyoko and Fujiwara Shizuka were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Li Xianshu saw Chen Yang coming in, waved, and asked him to go upstairs with her.
"I heard that Okita-kun and Abe-kun came to Meihua Tower to see you?" After sitting down, Li Xianshu did not beat around the bush, but asked the question directly.
Needless to say, this must have been reported to her by He Yuehua.
Chen Yang nodded and sighed, "I still can't hide it from my aunt. Okita-kun represents the Navy Department's intentions."
"They want to know if the War Department is planning to take action against Minister Mine."
"Abe-kun represents the dispatched forces."
"They want to know what is written in the secret letter that Colonel Uchiyama brought back from mainland China."
"Hey, I don't know where they got the confidence to think that I can find out this level of information."
Li Xianshu shook her head and said, "They don't want you to look up information, they want you to take sides."
"It's a miracle that your network is still running today."
"People in the Navy and Army respect you, but they also want to know which side you lean towards."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "I am not on either side. I am on the same side as you, aunt."
"Smooth talk." Li Xianshu was amused by Chen Yang's expression.
Shaking his head, he said, "I sent a telegram to Mr. Fujiwara to discuss this matter this afternoon."
"He also thinks that it's inappropriate to force you to take sides at this time."
"The pharmaceutical factories and oil refineries you own are all run by the navy and the army."
"Whichever side you fall on, it will cause turmoil in these industries."
"Mr. Fujiwara, do you mean that you are afraid that people from the Navy or the Army will attack the pharmaceutical factories and refineries?" Chen Yang quickly understood what Li Xianshu meant.
Li Xianshu frowned and said, "It's hard to say. The local economy suffered a serious decline last year, and the navy has finally made some achievements this year. Mr. Fujiwara thinks it's not worth it if there is another turmoil because of you."
“The homeland needs stability, and your current position also needs stability.”
"So, given the current situation, I also support you to remain neutral. This will help coordinate the two sides while preventing things from getting too ugly on the mainland."
After that, Li Xianshu sighed and said, "The conflict between the navy and the army cannot be solved by just one person or a few things."
"It's rare that they both trust someone so much at the same time."
"I didn't think you could resolve the conflict between them, but with you in the middle, at least we can create a buffer zone."
Chen Yang frowned, looked at Li Xianshu, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Aunt, you don't mean to ask me to be a middleman to help the navy and the army exchange information, right?"
Li Xianshu nodded approvingly and said, "You are smart."
"Yes, that is exactly what we are planning."
"The conflict between the navy and the army did not happen overnight."
"There is a Chinese saying that a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. If we want to resolve the conflict between them and allow both sides to move forward hand in hand, we need to do a lot of work."
"For now, you are the best candidate, and both parties have enough trust in you."
Chen Yang frowned unconsciously. After all, this was to make him play the game of peacemaker between the two sides.
This is not an easy task. If someone sees through you, they might come up and challenge you to a duel between warriors at any time...
Li Xianshu seemed to see through Chen Yang's thoughts and said lightly: "Chen Yang, you are the most suitable person for this task."
"If we can further resolve the conflict between the two sides, it will be of infinite benefit to the future of the empire."
"Of course, you can also gain huge benefits from it. Isn't that what you are best at?"
Haha, Chen Yang secretly complained in his heart, you want me to please both sides, aren’t you afraid that I will add fuel to the fire and make them make the fight worse?
"Aunt, to be honest, this mission is a bit arduous, but it is my duty to do my best for the empire."
Chen Yang said seriously: "I will do my best to ease the relationship between the two sides."
Li Xianshu nodded and said, "It's good that you have such an idea. Don't worry, the local side will arrange what they want. You just need to do your best to be the middleman..."
An old friend came over today and we chatted until after ten o'clock. I finally managed to finish one chapter. There is one left that will be posted between seven and nine tomorrow morning. By the way, I will resume posting three chapters a day after the 30th.
