Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 746 Two Tigers Compete One
Kaoru Kobayashi regained his composure as if nothing had happened.

But it was this that made Qian Xiaobao feel abnormal.

Yuriko Tanaka, who was brought back to the hot spring hotel by Qian Xiaobao, was very diligent, and both Kaoru Kobayashi and Takechiyo Fujimoto felt a lot more relaxed.

Qian Xiaobao lived a lazy and idle life again.

However, Second Lieutenant Abe, who was sent by Qian Xiaobao to contact to buy the boat, came half a month later.

"A nearly [-]-ton merchant ship was just salvaged near Nagasaki Port. It was sunk by a US plane more than a year ago. It can still be used after repairing it, but it will take a long time, but it doesn't cost much to buy it. ’” Second Lieutenant Abe said.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you the newspaper from the day before yesterday." Qian Xiaobao walked into his room after speaking, and came out with the newspaper after a while.

Second Lieutenant Abe was worthy of being an officer of the former intelligence department. He scanned through several pages of the newspaper and quickly found what Qian Xiaobao should have asked him to read.

Now Japan is seriously short of food, and it is good to be able to fill the stomach, not to mention nutrition at all.A surprising number of Japanese fell ill due to lack of protein intake.

Now, the Occupation Army Command advocates that the Japanese go out to sea to catch whales to make up for their protein intake.

Japan originally used the tradition of offshore whaling, and now some people have begun to organize ocean-going fleets to hunt whales thousands of nautical miles away.

"You mean we also buy a whaling ship?" Second Lieutenant Abe asked.

"When I was ordered to go back to Japan, Genzo Yanagida found me a gunboat. The gunboat couldn't resist the wind and waves. Most of the way along the way was close to the coastline. Even so, I was still worried. I asked, The whaling ship is fast and strong, which is very suitable for us." Qian Xiaobao said.

"But we don't have enough money to buy a new ship," Second Lieutenant Abe said.

"It's okay, I'll figure out a solution for this matter, you'll just wait here, I'm going out for a while." Qian Xiaobao said.

Five days later, Qian Xiaobao hurried back.

"I went to Kagoshima to meet Lieutenant Komatsu's father, Earl Komatsu. He promised to set up a company, and he has ordered a [-]-ton whaling ship for Imabari Shipbuilding, which will be delivered in four months. Everything He takes care of everything, and we only need to transport it. In the end, he only needs [-]% of the profit, and we share [-]%." Qian Xiaobao said.

"He just lent us a little money, and [-]% is not too much. We are the ones who went to sea to work!" Second Lieutenant Abe complained.

"For us, this is already a good deal. Earl Komatsu was originally a member of the House of Nobles and knew many high-ranking figures in Japan. If anything happened in the future, he would have to settle it. If he hadn't come forward this time, the speed of delivery would not be too high. It won’t be so fast, and the scheduling period may take several months. If it weren’t for his son, Lieutenant Komatsu, who was also an officer in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, he would not have agreed to my request.” Qian Xiaobao explained.

"Your task now is to immediately find a few people who are very capable in naval driving and machine repair. We will go to Imabari, Ehime to pick up the ship in four months." Qian Xiaobao said.

Shortly after Second Lieutenant Abe left, Qian Xiaobao also left Kurokawa.He took all the money and rushed to Kagoshima to meet Earl Komatsu, and then rushed to the headquarters of the Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in Imabari Koura Town with a check.

On the premise of retaining the appearance of the whaling ship, Qian Xiaobao hoped that the whaling ship would be more suitable for loading and have more horsepower and faster speed.

During this time, Xiao Linxun has been watching Qian Xiaobao who is busy returning home from home.She also heard some fragments of Qian Xiaobao's conversation with Second Lieutenant Abe.

Depending on the situation, it will take a long time before Qian Xiaobao goes to Ehime this time to discuss whaling ships with shipbuilders.

On the night of the second day after Qian Xiaobao left Heichuan, Xiaolin Xun said to his younger brother Zhao: "I'm going out for a while, you have to stay here and wait for your father to come back."

Although Zhaodi was young, he immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Linxun's words - Xiao Linxun asked her to wait for Qian Xiaobao to come back, which meant that Xiao Linxun would not come back for a while after going out this time.

Kaoru Kobayashi has no relatives or friends in Japan, where is he going?

"I'm going to Shanghai now, and I'll stay there for a while. Your father bought a house there a long time ago, and we will all go back in the future. But don't tell others about this." Xiaolin Xun continued.

"Did you tell my father about your going to Shanghai?" Brother Zhao asked.

Kobayashi Kaoru remained silent and did not answer.Brother Zhao immediately understood that this was Xiao Linxun's own behavior, and her father didn't know it at all!

In the middle of the night, Xiaolin Xun was still awake, so she sewed 20 yuan Dayang and a small yellow croaker to different parts of her clothes.These things have been enough to last in Shanghai for a while. When Qian Xiaobao knows that Kobayashi Kaoru has gone to Shanghai, he will definitely go there immediately.

But no matter how quickly Qian Xiaobao arrived in Shanghai, he couldn't be faster than Xiao Linxun.

It took Kaoru Kobayashi seven days to complete the formalities for going to Shanghai after arriving in Tokyo.After another two days, she boarded the ship bound for Shanghai.

In August, Shanghai is extremely hot.

At night, Xiaohong scrubbed her body with cold water, lighted the mosquito coils and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

During these four months, she was the only one guarding an empty big house. A normal woman would be afraid every night, but Xiaohong didn't care.

Every night when she went to bed, she put the kitchen knife under her pillow and fell asleep peacefully.But tonight it might be because of the heat, Xiaohong tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Vaguely, Xiaohong seemed to hear a knock on the door, and she sat up suddenly.

Kaoru Kobayashi got off the ship two hours ago, and she was a little dazed looking at the brightly lit beach.This was her first time in Shanghai. She used to hear Qian Xiaobao describe the things in Shanghai, but now she saw it with her own eyes.

Xiaolin Xun had the address of the Shikumen in Xingrenli, but after she arrived in Xingrenli in a rickshaw, she still searched for it for a long time, and finally stood in front of a dark gate.

Xiaolin Xun was still a little scared in the dark alley, but when she thought of the woman who lived here, she became furious!
Kaoru Kobayashi raised his hand and slammed on the door vigorously.Due to the excessive force, the two big copper rings in the beast's mouth on the Zhen's gate cracked and rattled.

Xiaohong listened carefully and finally determined that someone was knocking on the door of her house.She put on her shoes and took out the kitchen knife under the pillow and went downstairs to the front yard.

"Who is it?" Xiaohong asked.

"It's me! Are you a little demon?" Kobayashi Kaoru replied.

Hearing the questioning inside, Kobayashi Kaoru was sure that she did not go to the wrong place.She didn't say Xiaohong's real name but said Xiaohong's nickname in the world when she was in Harbin.

In Shanghai, there was actually someone who could tell her nickname in Northeast China. Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that the person talking outside was a woman, and she immediately thought of who the woman standing outside was!
