Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 439 The Scary Side of Ogasawara Part [-]

Qian Xiaobao also recognized that the person standing in front was the head of the Susu Fertilizer Co., Ltd. who was staring at Ogasawara.

"I'm Asano, the general manager of Suzu Co., Ltd., I'm sorry for visiting late at night!" Asano said with a bow.

He put two coconuts on the ground and then took out a flashlight and turned it on. A beam of light shot out, and all kinds of small animals in the room were in a commotion again.

"Close it, there will be more mosquitoes when there is light." Qian Xiaobao said.

The Shilu Iron Mine was discovered in [-], and it has only been open for more than a year now, and the conditions are very poor.It turns out that this place is a desolate forest.

Asano turned off the flashlight again and said, "The conditions here are really rudimentary, but in another four or five years, it will be completely different from what it is now."

Hearing him speak like this, Qian Xiaobao knew that he was here for Ogasawara's affairs.

"I was standing at the door of the room when you were arguing with Ogasawara, but if you came to me for this matter, it would be a mistake. I just escorted the supplies here, and there is really nothing I can do." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Our company responded to the imperial call and invested a huge amount of money to open the Shilu Iron Mine here. The construction plan with a time limit of ten years was approved by the headquarters. However, Lieutenant Ogasawara, who is the military representative here, insisted on speeding up the progress. It took less than ten years to develop the iron mine and it was destroyed!" said Asano.

"Wouldn't it be better to mine the iron ore quickly?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"This iron ore is the highest-grade iron ore in Asia. The iron content is at least 50.00% and the reserves are more than [-] million tons. According to our company's plan, it can be mined for decades, but according to Lieutenant Ogasawara's request, only the highest-grade iron ore After the ore is mined, the iron mine will be scrapped in less than ten years!" Asano said sadly.

"It makes sense to hear you say that, this Ogasawara is really too much!" Qian Xiaobao nodded in agreement.

"Lieutenant Ogasawara is the military representative of the army stationed here. He always tells us that there is nothing we can do." Asano said.

"You can report to the headquarters and let them report the situation to the base camp." Qian Xiaobao said.

"In the eyes of the soldiers, we are all selfish profiteers, and our response to the situation is not effective." Asano replied.

"You mean to ask me to respond to the top? I can't do this. I'm just a special agent, and Ogasawara is a lieutenant. And the reason why Ogasawara was sent to such an important place is because he is deeply respected by senior officials." Pay attention!" Qian Xiaobao said seriously.

Asano was suddenly taken aback by Qian Xiaobao's seriousness, and didn't know what to say.

"So, it's useless to ask me to react! It's not like you don't know that some of those high-level officials are blindly arrogant, and some are mercenary. It's hard to handle." Qian Xiaobao shook his head and said.

Asano's eyes lit up.Forget about the blind and arrogant chief, but the chief who is mercenary must not miss it!
According to the plan, Japan Suzu Fertilizer Co., Ltd. will invest more than 20 billion yen in Shilu Iron Mine. If it follows Ogasawara's approach, it will go bankrupt.

"Lieutenant Ogasawara is a rare talent in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army! In fact, he is very much needed there, but some things are really difficult to handle." Qian Xiaobao said very distressed.

"I understand. Our agency also has a branch in Manchuria. I will report to the head office immediately, and they will definitely cooperate fully." Asano said.

"I'll give it a try when I get back to Harbin, but I'm not doing this for you, but for the benefit of the Great Japanese Empire! It's just that the iron mine construction should be carried out step by step according to the plan." Qian Xiaobao said.

"That's what it means! I'll leave this matter to Your Excellency." Asano bowed again.

"I have completed the task here, and I will go back tomorrow. I will try it when I return to Harbin, but this matter is really difficult. The chiefs of the Kwantung Army's Intelligence Department appreciate Ogasawara very much. What I said They may not be able to listen." Qian Xiaobao said with a sigh.

"I hope you will do more work, and I will see you off tomorrow!" Asano bowed for the third time.

Qian Xiaobao pointed to the half-meter-high bunch of bananas that the person behind put on the ground and said, "You know, you rarely see this kind of thing in Manchuria even in summer. When I leave tomorrow, prepare a few bunches of these bananas." I'll send the stuff back by plane."

"Absolutely no problem! I will send a telegram to Haikou when I go back, and the banana will already be at the airport when you return to Haikou." Asano said.

The two said goodbye and walked out of the room. Qian Xiaobao wrapped the cloth around his body again and lay down on the wooden board, and fell asleep after a while.

The next morning, Qian Xiaobao was awakened by the shrill whistle before the light came on.

He got up and stood by the window and saw a stream of people heading south on the sandy road in front of him.

Most of them were almost naked, carrying big bamboo baskets on their backs and holding short picks in their hands.

This is the departure of the people who went to work at the Jinniuling construction site.

Thousands of unkempt and emaciated laborers are like ghosts from hell.

It took more than ten minutes for the labor team to completely disappear in front of our eyes.

Qian Xiaobao walked to Ogasawara's office and saw him having breakfast.

"Let's have dinner together. After dinner, I'll take you to the construction site on a motorcycle!" Ogasawara pointed at the [-] sidecar motorcycle outside with his chopsticks.

Qian Xiaobao followed Ogasawara and snored and drank the porridge. After eating the porridge, Ogasawara went outside and stepped on the motorcycle. Qian Xiaobao sat in the car, and Ogasawara kicked the starter lever, and the motorcycle roared towards Jinniuling.

The motorcycle drove south for less than 10 minutes. Ogasawara parked the motorcycle on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, and the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain.

When the two climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun had already risen from the east. Qian Xiaoyi looked down and was immediately shocked by the sight in front of her.

Tens of thousands of workers dig rocks and carry soil like ants in shallow pits within a radius of thousands of meters.

"Dig it slowly like this. After the ore is mined, there will be at least a big pit with a depth of several hundred thousand square meters and a depth of 400 meters!" Ogasawara said with his arms crossed.

"The trestle by the sea, the railway, the hydropower station and here must speed up the progress and strive to transport the iron ore to Japan before next year!" Standing on the top of the mountain, Ogasawara said in a tone of dominance.

"I heard that if the mine is built according to the original plan, the mining time will be longer and more iron ore will be mined. If so, this place may become the steel base of the Great Japanese Empire in ten years." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Ten years later?" Ogasawara turned to look at Qian Xiaobao and asked.

"After ten years, the owner may have changed here." Ogasawara suddenly said in a low mood.
