Chapter 2697 Transportation Issues
When Fujita Yoshimasa saw that Wang Yue was interested in the shipyard, he became a little curious as well. However, he thought that Wang Yue's shipyard was also in Shanghai, and that once the ships were built, they would still be under their surveillance. So he decided to put it aside for the time being.

When Wang Manchun saw that she had actually received the water transport mission assigned by Fujita Yoshimasa, she felt that she had value to be used, which made her very happy. However, at the same time, she was also somewhat overwhelmed by the task.

Wang Manchun had to personally oversee the newly assigned freight transport task. After all, transporting goods involved both risks and opportunities, and if anything went wrong, she could be taken down as a scapegoat.

However, 76 also needs to be kept an eye on, otherwise, if she fails to obtain useful information, it will still be considered that she has done a poor job, and it will also affect her ability to use 76's people to escort her goods.

Therefore, Wang Manchun was also hesitant and didn't know what to do.

And sometimes that's how it is; the more you worry about something going wrong, the more likely something will happen, especially since this was originally part of Wang Yue's plan!
On the very day that Wang Manchun led a group to Nanjing to deliver goods, something very shocking happened at No. 76.

Overnight, all the criminals in cell number 76 escaped, and all the staff members of cell number 76 collapsed to the ground, including Liang Zhongchun, the head of the operations department.

In fact, this was Wang Yue's intention. He planned to force Wang Manchun, who had lost her usefulness, into a corner, forcing her to betray him and stop doing evil.

Therefore, getting Wang Manchun out of No. 76 was a necessary condition.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Yue took out a piece of "Sad Breeze" when he learned that Wang Manchun was personally delivering the goods to Nanjing!

You should know that this "Sad Breeze" uses a spiritual medicine from the Three Lives Three Worlds world, and its effects are extraordinary.

If there is no antidote, the general chills and lingering winds will subside on their own within a day, relying on the body's own immune system.

However, the "Sorrowful Breeze" made from the elixirs of the celestial realm is so potent that it can even knock down immortals, let alone ordinary people.

Without the antidote, these people could lie in bed for months; without intravenous fluids, they would probably die.

Wang Yue chose this merciful approach because he considered that wiping them out in one fell swoop might also kill some of the spies who had been hiding there.

Moreover, the gentle breeze can keep one's mind clear, and Wang Yue can also use these people to confirm a piece of information.

Those were the Soviets, they were involved too!
To achieve their goal, Wang Yue and Yu Manli came together. Wang Yue even deliberately spoke Russian with Yu Manli. Although Yu Manli was not familiar with it, she could still respond with just a few words.

Moreover, Wang Yue used makeup techniques to make them both look like Soviets, and even deliberately used specially made shoes to increase their height, making it virtually flawless.

As the best Japanese officer remaining in Shanghai, Fujita Yoshimasa rushed to No. 76 as soon as he heard the news. Of course, before he arrived, Minami Yoko, who had just returned, had already arrived.

Fujita Yoshimasa carefully examined the situation inside before frowning and asking, "Yoko, what exactly happened? Who did it?"

Having already found out the details, Yoko Nanda said very seriously, "Director Liang, they said it was done by two people who speak Russian."

Fujita Yoshimasa was not one to easily trust anyone, and he immediately said, "Interrogate everyone carefully; I need to obtain accurate information!"

Yoko Nanta quickly nodded in agreement, then gestured to the people she brought to separate and interrogate each of the 76 people one by one.

Meanwhile, news of what happened at No. 76 also spread to other places.

Take the Ming family, for example.

Mingcheng looked very serious and said, "Brother, could it be that the Soviets were really involved? But what are they going to do with those prisoners?"

Minglou didn't really understand either, so he could only solemnly say, "Pass down the word: if these people are released, transfer them out as soon as possible."

Mingcheng frowned, and said uncertainly, "Brother, do you suspect that the Soviets only saved these people as a gesture of goodwill?"

Minglou nodded and said, "Yes, because Germany has intensified its attack on the Soviet Union, they must ensure that Japan in the east does not have the energy to deal with them, so they helped rescue people. It's actually a test of the waters."

Upon hearing this, Mingcheng was pleasantly surprised and said, "Then we should inform Yan'an and try to contact the Soviet Union first, so that we can get strong support."

Without hesitation, Minglou immediately said, "They will support all forces fighting against Japan. What we need to do is not to notify the Soviet Union, but to spread the word that the Soviets have established the 76th Division. Make sure it is true, so as to boost morale."

Mingcheng immediately smiled and said, "Brother, this move was brilliant. If someone were impersonating a Soviet, the Soviets would have no choice but to make a gesture."

After they had discussed it, they quickly spread the message.

Meanwhile, the Japanese received the specific information and immediately notified the Soviet Union, demanding an explanation. Otherwise, they were prepared to cooperate with Germany in attacking from the east.

To intimidate, the Japanese even dispatched two divisions of the Kwantung Army's elite forces, making it appear as if they were about to launch an attack.

The Soviet Union also heard about this news. Although they were unwilling to face a two-front attack, land and access to the sea were something the Soviet Union desperately wanted.

Therefore, faced with the threat from Japan, the Soviet Union did not tolerate Japan at all and directly expelled the Japanese ambassador.

Just as Minglou and Wang Yue had predicted, the Comintern and the Soviet government contacted Yan'an and Chongqing respectively, increasing their aid to the two cities.

Japan, whose morale was high at the moment, felt extremely humiliated by the Soviet Union's disregard and decisively launched an attack.

As a result, the two Japanese divisions underestimated the Soviet environment and firepower. The Kwantung Army charged through the freezing cold and was quickly wiped out by the Soviets.

If the Soviets hadn't been unable to continue their counterattack, they probably would have lost the Kwantung region.

Meanwhile, Yan'an launched a surprise attack on Zhangjiakou, Baotou, and other places, showing signs of an offensive against Northeast China and Beijing.

This is actually because of the production equipment provided by Wang Yue, which meant that Yan'an had no shortage of military supplies, but they lacked mineral materials.

After occupying the two territories, they can mine and provide raw materials for the production of military equipment.

At the same time, attacking these two places was also to coordinate with the Soviet Union's suppression of Northeast China.

However, contrary to the Soviet Union's expectation of mere suppression, the Yan'an side believed that since they had the strength, if they could occupy the industrial base of the three northeastern provinces, they could not only further enhance their own strength, but also further weaken Japan's offensive capabilities.

Once the three northeastern provinces are occupied, Japanese soldiers, whether in North China or the Yanjing area, will lack material support and become isolated. After all, relying solely on ships at sea to transport supplies is simply insufficient to support such a large army.

At the same time, the New Fourth Army also launched a counterattack, advancing towards Zhejiang on one hand and Guangdong on the other.

Regardless of which direction the victory came from, the New Fourth Army gained access to external supplies.

Of course, this decision was made to protect Wang Yue, the secret arms dealer.

After all, if the New Fourth Army could solve its arms problem, it would not only be able to continue to expand its strength, but also coordinate with the Eighth Route Army from the south and the north, which would be very helpful for its future development.

Meanwhile, Chongqing also intensified its offensive against Nanjing at almost the same time. After all, Nanjing was the capital, and only by taking back the capital could they feel more confident.

Otherwise, they would always have the feeling of a government in exile.

Faced with so much pressure, the Japanese were forced into a series of defeats and soon had to find out the main reasons for their sudden falling out with the Soviet Union.

As a result, Wang Manchun was pushed forward and made to take full responsibility. She was arrested by the Special Higher Police and severely tortured before being removed from her position as the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the 76th Bureau.

Moreover, the freight company that Wang Manchun had just acquired was immediately and forcibly confiscated.

Fortunately, the Japanese couldn't spare any manpower at the moment, so they gave Wang Manchun a chance to redeem herself by managing the freight business properly.

At this moment, Wang Manchun understood perfectly well that she was just a scapegoat being pushed out, and she also understood what Wang Yue meant at the time.

We cannot place all our hopes on the Japanese; otherwise, the future outcome will likely be extremely tragic.

Of course, Wang Manchun's change of heart was also due to the fact that the Japanese had suffered a complete setback, which made Wang Manchun realize that the Japanese might really lose, which is why she made the decision so readily.

Wang Manchun's method of revenge was also very simple: he took the codebook containing the telegrams from Japan and the puppet government that he had in his possession and went directly to Minglou.

Minglou was also a master of acting. When he saw Wang Manchun, he immediately ran over and helped her to the sofa, as if he were helping a precious treasure.

Minglou Feng Wang Manchun sat on the sofa, poured her a glass of hot water, and then said with great heartache, "Manchun, I have heard about what happened to you. You were completely innocent in this disaster."

After hearing about it, I immediately went to see General Fujita. I didn't expect you to come out so quickly. It seems the new government still has some influence in the eyes of the Japanese.

He did say a few words, but he didn't think his innocuous remark would have any decisive effect.

Now that Wang Manchun has been released, it can only prove that she is still useful. Therefore, whether for the sake of their past relationship or for Wang Manchun's role, Minglou must continue to pretend.

Wang Manchun looked at Minglou with some surprise. She felt that she shouldn't have come out so easily. She immediately said with emotion, "Thank you, senior brother. Senior brother, you don't need to be so devoted to serving the new government anymore, otherwise you will be the one who is abandoned sooner or later."

Minglou neither agreed nor disagreed with this statement, and he then began to engage in perfunctory conversation with Wang Manchun.

Wang Manchun was already unsure whether Minglou was from Yan'an or Chongqing, and now she was even less willing to use Minglou as an experiment.

So, after leaving Minglou's place, Wang Manchun turned around and found Wang Yue's coffee shop. Although she was unsure of Wang Yue's identity, she could sense that there was something wrong with the waiters at Wang Yue's place.

After all, Zhao Di's attitude towards Wang Manchun in the previous instances was far too obvious. For someone like Wang Manchun, who frequently came into contact with secret agents, it was easy to spot that there was something wrong with this person at a glance.

When Zhao Di saw that Wang Manchun had come again, she still didn't give her a friendly look and asked seriously, "Our boss is not here, Miss Wang, please leave."

Wang Manchun casually handed a notebook to Zhao Di, and said with a smile, "This is the special codebook for the new government between Shanghai and Nanjing. You can go back and verify it. If you find it useful, you can contact me again. I also have other codebooks from Japan and the new government."

Zhao Di's expression changed upon hearing this. She really wanted it, but thinking of her mission, she didn't take the codebook at all and immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Wang Manchun placed the codebook directly on the restaurant table, then smiled and said, "Your eyes can't hide anything from me. This is very important to you. You should contact your superiors as soon as possible!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

After watching Wang Manchun walk away, Zhao Di hurriedly ran to the door and looked around. After not finding anyone suspicious, she returned to the table.

She hesitated for a moment, but still decided to take it back to verify it.

Zhao Di's superior was Guo Qiyun. Upon hearing the news, he dared not conceal it and immediately notified Mingtai and Wang Tianfeng.

Upon learning this news, Wang Tianfeng immediately went to Shanghai to retrieve the codebook and had it professionally verified.

It must be said that the codes translated from this codebook were all confirmed to be genuine through messages transmitted from various sources.

Therefore, Wang Tianfeng became excited. The reason he had been so persistent in implementing the plan was for the greater good of the country.

Although Wang Tianfeng was not afraid of death, he would certainly be willing to see the battle turn around if he could survive.

Therefore, Wang Tianfeng immediately sent Zhao Di to negotiate with Wang Manchun, while he himself brought the codebook to Chongqing.

After confirming the value of the codebook, the Chongqing team naturally became even more interested in the other codebooks in Wang Manchun's possession.

Upon meeting Zhao Di, Wang Manchun immediately put forward two conditions.

The first point is that if Japan is defeated and the Nanjing government reclaims the lost territory, it must ensure Wang Manchun's survival.

The second condition was that Wang Manchun was willing to sell all the codebooks as a package, but it would cost 1 silver dollars.

Ten thousand dollars is actually a very large number, considering that many people only earn a few dollars a month.

But when it comes to matters concerning the lives of countless people, 1 silver dollars doesn't seem so valuable.
