Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 288 Hearing (monthly ticket plus more updates)

That night.

The lights are still on in the special care ward on the second floor of Renji Hospital.

As Ryuichi Ikeda's assistant, Ono stood at the door with a vigilant look on his face, staring closely at the people in the corridor, as if he was on guard against anyone coming.

However, what he did was actually unnecessary, because after seeing the two Japanese military police with guns at the door of the intensive care unit, both the patients and the medical staff deliberately avoided the room.

In the dimly lit special care ward, Ryuichi Ikeda was lying on the hospital bed, talking to Satomi Hiro who came to visit him.

Compared with the dying look when Ma Weiran came to take medicine last time, Ikeda Ryuichi's mental state at this time can be said to be very good. He can already talk to Satomi clearly and freely, and can even get up from the bed by himself. Come.

The wound on his arm has become swollen and scabbed. Although it still looks terrible, it is no longer a threat to his life.

However, Ryuichi Ikeda's sulfonamide allergy symptoms have not faded away, so that his body is still wrapped in a layer of bandages.

It looks like a moving mummy.

The entire ward was also filled with a smell that was mixed with the smell of disinfectant, medicine, and some unknown strange smell, which was very pungent.

"Ikeda-kun, how is your recovery now? How long does the doctor say it will take for you to be discharged from the hospital?"

After the simple greetings, Satomi asked about more important things.

"Satomi-kun, although I have not fully recovered now, I feel a lot better. The doctor said that I should be able to be discharged from the hospital in another week at most."

"Does it take another week?"

Hearing this answer, Satomi seemed a little disappointed.

Ikeda Ryuichi then asked:

"What's wrong, Satomi-kun, is there something wrong?"

Satomifu nodded and said:

"Ikeda-kun, because of your previous situation, I had to transfer some of the work in your hands to others. I originally thought that if you have improved, I will return these things to you. of.

But since you still need to cultivate for a while, then let's take a break from these things for now. "

Ikeda Ryuichi had no objection to Satomi's practice of handing over his affairs to others. After all, two days ago, even Ryuichi Ikeda himself thought he was close to death.

He even asked Ono to record a will for him.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Ikeda Ryuichi came back to life. He sincerely thanked Amaterasu for his blessing.

However, from Satomi Fu's attitude, Ikeda Ryuichi sensed some special meaning.

Satomi doesn't seem to like the person who takes over for him?

"Satomi-kun, who is in charge of my affairs now?"

"Kawashima Yoshiko."

"It turned out to be her."

Hearing the name Yoshiko Kawashima, Takashi Ikeda immediately understood why Satomi wanted to take things back as soon as possible.

Yoshiko Kawashima was a well-written character in later generations, and many film and television works portrayed her as an important figure with great power in the Japanese army.

But which department of the Japanese army does Kawashima Yoshiko actually belong to?

The answer is neither.

To put it bluntly, she was a peripheral member with a special status in the Japanese army, a role that could be used by anyone who needed her.

Also known as "temporary workers".

With the establishment of Manchukuo, Yoshiko Kawashima became more and more ambitious and wanted to gain greater power, so much so that the Japanese became less and less interested in her and kept her in Jinmen. The other side didn't pay much attention to it.

This time Satomi brought her here purely because she was familiar with her connections in Shanghai, so that he could quickly restore the structure of Satomi's organization.

Due to the accidental assassination of Ryuichi Ikeda at the gate of the Navy Headquarters, many aspects of the "noodle shop" business came to a standstill. As a last resort, Satomi handed the matter over to Yoshiko Kawashima.

This woman did not go as Satomi expected. Whenever she had the opportunity, she began to crazily grab power. Within a few days, she gathered a group of ronin, mainly Koreans and Ryukyus, and the momentum was not small.

Although his "noodle shop" business was indeed recovering quickly, Satomi could clearly feel that a lot of profits had been taken away.

As for where to go, it’s self-evident.

Realizing that if Yoshiko Kawashima was allowed to continue, the Satomi agency in Shanghai might have to be renamed, Satomi began to quickly plan for a replacement for Yoshiko Kawashima.

That's why today's visit came about. After thinking for a while, Ikeda Ryuichi said:

"Satomi-kun, there is no need to worry too much. Yoshiko Kawashima is just a rootless duckweed attached to our Empire of Japan. As long as we want, we can take whatever we want from her."

"I know, but the losses caused during this period are unavoidable. Ikeda-kun, do you know? This bitch told me that she spent ten thousand kilograms of money to bribe President Zhang to let go of her prejudices.

But according to my information, what she promised to President Zhang was only five thousand kilograms of smoke! This bitch is not afraid of being stretched to death! "

Satomi said through gritted teeth.

With five thousand kilograms of cigarettes and millions of profits, Kawashima Yoshiko has fallen into such darkness. How can Satomi endure this?

But unfortunately, he now needs to rely on Yoshiko Kawashima to help him recover the market. He cannot say that he will expose the matter now.

Ryuichi Ikeda on the hospital bed was also startled by Yoshiko Kawashima's appetite, and then he realized what he was doing and asked:

"Satomi-kun, are there more goods coming from Manchuria?"

When Satomi opened his mouth, he used tens of thousands of kilograms of cigarettes to bribe President Zhang, and the stock of cigarettes in Shanghai had dropped to a very low level since the Fukuoka warehouse was burned down last time.

Therefore, this batch of tobacco can only be transported from outside.

Satomifu nodded and said:

"Yes, I have arranged for Manchuria to ship a batch of 100,000 kilograms of tobacco. In addition to the tobacco, there is also a batch of arms produced from Fengtian Arsenal."

"arms?"

"Yes, the military has ordered the strengthening of Shanghai's armaments to cope with the war that may come at any time. For this reason, a batch of arms has been specially allocated from Fengtian to equip the members of the volunteer team."

"Is the military ready to launch a war?"

"I don't know, but according to last year's "Combat Readiness Order", armies and reserve forces everywhere have begun to prepare."

Hearing this, Ikeda Ryuichi was silent for a while.

"Let's do this, Satomi-kun."

After a long time, Ikeda Ryuichi said:

"How about you come back tomorrow and I will arrange for one of my lurking subordinates to meet you and let him establish contact with you first to contain Yoshiko Kawashima?"

"This couldn't be better!"

Satomifu said very happily.

He is currently short of manpower, otherwise he would not allow Kawashima Yoshiko to grow bigger. If there is someone to restrain the other party, Kawashima Yoshiko will definitely restrain himself.

"Well, you can come over again tomorrow morning. It's best to modify it and come here secretly."

"Okay, I know."

Satomi nodded in agreement.

After deciding what to do tomorrow morning, Ikeda Ryuichi said to Satomi Fu again:

"I was able to get better this time, thanks to the blessing of God Amaterasu, but the new drug that the doctor injected into me also has a certain effect. If possible, I would like to ask you about this new drug."

"No problem, I'll keep an eye out."

"Then thank you Satomi-kun."

"Ikeda-kun, you're so polite. It's me who wants to thank you."

After chatting for a few more common things, Satomi stopped disturbing Ikeda Ryuichi and stood up to leave.

After Satomi left, Ryuichi Ikeda said to Ono who entered the ward:

"Go and send a message to "Old Ghost" and ask him to come and see me secretly tomorrow morning."

"Hi."

Ono nodded and walked out of the ward.

Before going out, he specially helped Ikeda Takashi turn off the lights in the ward so that he could rest more easily.

Under the window sill outside the ward, Lu Feng, who had listened to the entire conversation between Ikeda Ryuichi and Satomi Fu, hesitated for a moment.

Thinking about it, he left directly.

Let's wait until we see that "old ghost" tomorrow before taking the life of Ryuichi Ikeda.

　Gulu gulu.
