Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 98: Fully Promote the Opening of New Stores
The four men drank until two in the morning. Qing Mu Qiao and Yang Dengying were fighting over the bill. In the end, Qing Mu Qiao won and paid with his membership card. The reason they both wanted was, "Next time you come and treat us to more drinks!"

With these words, Yang Dengying will have another chance.

Fujiwara Mio drove Chen Jiehua back home. As soon as they entered the house, Chen Jiehua washed his face and regained consciousness. The two of them checked the small mechanisms in various places as usual, and confirmed that there were no signs of "intrusion" before they began to talk.

"Mio, the organization just replied and told us not to follow up. Does that mean we should just stop intervening?"

"Yes, just one sentence."

"I understand. You should secretly keep an eye on your teacher's whereabouts. I can't pay too much attention to it, lest Yang Dengying think too much."

"Starting tomorrow, Mio, you will be responsible for gradually clarifying the structure of the Dobun Academy's spy system. If you see spies planted in the organization's organs, don't rush to remind the organization to eliminate them. Just remind them to pay attention."

"We lost so many spies right after the handover. It's obvious there's something wrong with us. So we prioritize and take our time."

"My classmate, Higuchi Keishirou, is very smart, has an active mind, is easily receptive to new things, and is relatively easy to fool. Transfer him over to help you with the intelligence classification, and you will do the summary."

That evening, Yang Dengying sent someone to invite Aoki Qiao, Watanabe Watanabe, and Higuchi Keishiro to drink at Yipinxiang.

Everyone got along well, and Qing Mu Qiao didn't mention "that Adjutant Hu" again. Since he was in a hurry to invite people to drink again the next day, he thought the people had been sent out safely. Since Watanabe Watanabe didn't care, Chen Jiehua naturally wouldn't make trouble.

When everyone left after drinking, Yang Dengying gave each of the three people a small bundle of US dollars, calling it "taxi fare".

Chen Jiehua saw the serial number on the money and reconfirmed Yang Dengying's identity. This was his money! It had come back after a round trip. What else could he say?
On December 12, led by Miyazaki Shuichi and Karakawa Yasuo, the first batch of "young talents (surplus labor)" from each family came to Shanghai to pan for gold. Also accompanying the team was Obata Kazuki, a police inspector from the Special High Section. Miyazaki Shuichi even made a special effort to greet him, as he was his junior from the Army Academy.

Well, everyone at headquarters knows about my habit. Actually, I knew about it even without you telling me. It must be something to do with the Obata Karasu family.

The Japanese headquarters and various Chinese ethnic groups attached great importance to this joint departmental plan, and the first batch of people sent over were all young people with good looks and positive attitudes.

Aoki Qiao placed them in the East Asia Common Culture College for three days of basic knowledge training. Zhao Shiyu and Zhou Yongsu, both graduates of the Army Academy and with experience as shopkeepers, followed Aoki Qiao's requirements and became team leaders. They divided the first group into two groups, taking turns for practical training and learning.

Elsewhere, at the Consulate General, Tanaka Takayoshi and Karakawa Yasuo conducted a handover, transferring the secret agent from the General Staff. Headquarters ultimately held back, considering Tanaka Takayoshi's qualifications. Although he was also a graduate of the Army Academy and Army University, he was still a senior figure many years older than Aoki Takashi. Keeping him as Aoki Takashi's deputy would easily cause friction, so it was better to transfer him back to headquarters.

In the evening, the five classmates plus Obata Kazuki, the six of them gathered together and naturally went to the Japanese club to drink. Aoki Takashi conquered the younger brother of the Special High Police with his generosity and drinking capacity, and the inspector became his follower.

This inspector had originally been having a rather frustrating time in the Special High Police, as the police basically recruited graduates from Tokyo Imperial University and Kyoto Imperial University. He, a graduate of the Army Academy, was not welcomed there. His uncle Obata Toshishiro suggested that he take up this assignment and come to Shanghai. He had heard that Aoki Takashi was close to fellow Army Academy alumni, and after a few drinks, he found out that it was true!
The next day, when he arrived at the main store of Aoki Pharmacy, Obata Kazuki was even more surprised. The head shopkeeper turned out to be his classmate and good friend at that time!
In December, a drugstore whirlwind swept through Shanghai. Qingmu chain drugstores were quickly and evenly distributed to major busy streets in Shanghai. Then Qingmu Pharmacy extended an invitation to the Qing Gang and SH citizens to recruit "fast runners", and the rapid drug delivery business was fully launched throughout Shanghai!

Local Western pharmacies and foreign pharmacies in the concessions cried out in despair. Except for some old customers and nearby regular customers, their business plummeted.

Qingmu Pharmacy has transparent and fair prices, and it runs fast. It picks up and delivers goods according to the distance, and charges according to the distance. It quickly gained the favor of Shanghai dignitaries. As you can imagine, Qingmu Pharmacy is the most talked about in various offices and on the streets. It runs fast.

My little girl had a fever, and I was so anxious that I shouted at the door for someone in a blue vest to run quickly, and the medicine was delivered in 10 minutes!
Because of the previous incident at the English Police Station, Colonel Aoki Qiao had gained the favor of all the ronin. One day after taking in the Army's secret agents, Aoki Qiao also took in these ronin from the Navy. However, the Navy also had a trick up its sleeve.

Although Aoki Takashi is a relative of the Shimazu family and has souvenirs from the Shimazu family, you can barely be considered a member of the Shimazu family, not much different from a retainer, but it is impossible for you to take over the entire spy network of the Navy Department. After all, you belong to the Army!

In order to prevent Aoki Qiao from taking over the spy network stationed in Shanghai, the Navy Department hastily established the Marine Corps in December and separated the Ronin group from the Navy system. Our Navy's intelligence system is also given to you!

For Chen Jiehua, the Navy's intelligence system didn't matter; it was just the icing on the cake, so he didn't pay much attention. After a few banquets and some decent kendo skills, Chen Jiehua first managed to integrate into the Ronin group.

In late December, at home, we finally had some free time to chat about recent events.

"Aoki, you asked me to keep an eye on someone named Ozaki Hidemi at Dobun College, but I looked through the list of students and professors and coaches at the college and confirmed that there's no such person."

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly. You don't have to pay attention to it." Chen Jiehua thought to himself that maybe he remembered it wrongly, or maybe he used a pseudonym at the time. Anyway, no matter what, according to the trajectory, he and Zuo Liuge should have met now.

Within the Aoki Agency, Keishirou Higuchi was responsible for classifying and screening intelligence information, while Mio only did the final review and summary and sent it to the consulate general on a regular basis.

Although Higuchi Keishirou works in the Aoki Agency as an intelligence classification officer, his connections are still with the academy, and he goes back regularly to continue teaching. Although it's a bit tiring, his income has nearly doubled. He is given a lot of emotional value by his classmate Aoki Qiao, so he has to work hard!

The Japanese headquarters, the House of Peers and the Three Crows received telegrams from the Consulate General containing words such as "Shocked", "Incredible" and "Surprisingly Good". They were very busy and rushed to mobilize the second batch of personnel to send to Shanghai!
