The imperial agency quickly reported to the country, and the cabinet had mixed reactions.
Some people said that the concession should be returned to Wang Jingwei before Britain and the United States, to show the goodwill between Japan and China and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia.
However, the military disagreed, saying that the concession should be retained as a It is a privileged area for the Japanese.
In short, no matter how we deal with it, it has nothing to do with the imperial agency.
King Yulong's intelligence work was excellent and he was praised by the Prime Minister.
The work of purchasing pig bristles is in full swing.
Japan has occupied half of China.
There are many pigs raised in the countryside and the raw materials are abundant, which is almost inexhaustible.
However, the specific implementation is still troublesome.
The Wang Puppet Government's organizational skills are too poor, and there are many people in the countryside.
A large number of guerrillas were active, so it could not be done in the name of the Japanese.
Yan Qingyu found Xu Tingge and privately opened a trading company to buy bristles.
Luo Junqiang also bought shares, and everyone made money together.
Money can make all the difference.
Since it is a private job, there is no foreign worker.
It took a month to collect and rob 500 tons of pig bristles.
I almost plucked all the pig bristles in the countryside of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to get so much. .
King Yulong built a ship.
It was originally a bulk cargo ship of the British merchant Taikoo & Co., Ltd.
It was specially used for inland routes.
It has a shallow draft and is difficult to use for ocean shipping.
At present, the ships are used for the transportation of materials by the Imperial Navy, even for imperial agencies.
Such a powerful unit can only find an inland river freighter to make do.
This ship has a history of thirty years.
The old steam engine is overwhelmed and the pipes are aging.
King Yulong spent a lot of money on repairs and used various connections to obtain enough coal.
Since the beginning of the Pacific War, various supplies have become increasingly scarce. tight Zhang, the coal reserves in Shanghai are getting less and less, and there is not enough power generation.
Each household is limited to five kilowatt-hours of electricity per month.
If it exceeds the limit, the meter must be removed.
In this case, even the signboard of the imperial agency cannot be used.
Dragon King bought the coal using gold bars.
Fortunately, it was a coal-burning steamship.
If it had been burning diesel or heavy oil, it would have depleted Yusang's family fortune.
The hull of the ship was repainted with a layer of off-white paint, and the new ship name "Aduomaru" was painted on the bow.
The bristles collected from the countryside were packed in hemp and stuffed into the warehouse, waiting to be negotiated with the navy before sailing.
While King Yulong and Yan Qingyu were as busy as the third grandson, Chen Zikun had already made a name for himself in Washington's social circle.
He was attending various dances and banquets every day, and he was as comfortable as a fish in water.
All thanks to Catherine Stanley, who returned from an interview in China.
The Stanley family is a prominent family in the eastern United States.
Catherine's uncle, Sean Sr., is a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor and a respected military medical colonel.
Her father, John Stanley, is the chairman of the U.S.
Senate War Economics Committee.
He has a high position and reputation. prominent.
Catherine had known Chen Zikun in the early 1920s, when they were both young men in their prime.
On Baodugu, the young female Times reporter had a secret crush on the handsome Chinese military officer, but Chen Zikun had a wife.

The Chinese people's status was low, so she suppressed her faint feelings.
Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and both of them got married and started a business.
Catherine was married, but her husband died in a car accident.
She also witnessed the horrors of war and famine in China.
After experiencing life and death, she became indifferent to many things.
After returning from China, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Chen Zikun was also in the United States, and he was alone.
She couldn't help but take the initiative to approach him, and the woman chased the man.
What's more, they were old acquaintances for many years.
The winter nights in Washington were so long and cold, and there were It's always good to warm up under the blanket and talk to each other.
Ever since, Ganchai Liehuo, a lonely man and woman, naturally rolled onto the same bed.
Catherine is a top figure in American journalism.
With her help, mainstream American society will naturally look at this general from China who speaks fluent English with admiration.
It was at the end of 1942 that the school had its winter vacation.
Yan'er and Elizabeth came to Washington from New York to visit the White House and the Memorial.
It happened that Chen Zikun and Catherine attended the dance with their daughters.
At the dance, Yan'er and Elizabeth became the focus of pursuit by the young officers.
Catherine smiled happily: "The children have grown up.
By the way, which university are you going to let Sophia go to?"
Sophia is Yan'er's English name.
Chen Zikun said: "My daughter wants to study medicine.
I think Harvard or Yale medical schools are fine.
Of course, she has to work hard on her own."
Catherine said: "Elizabeth plans to study sociology and become a reporter in the future.
I hope they both go to the same university."
As they were talking, the two girls pulled another strange girl over and introduced them to them as Miss Margaret Truman.
The girl greeted the adults shyly, and Chen Zikun and Catherine smiled in return.
After a while, Margaret's father came over with a wine glass.
Catherine introduced Chen Zikun to Senator Harry Truman, the chairman of the Special Committee on National Defense Planning. .
"Hello, Mr.
Truman."
Chen Zikun smiled and stretched out his hand.
"General, you are the focus of attention recently."
Truman wore round eyes and was very kind.
The two shook hands cordially, and with a click, Catherine clicked the shutter, leaving a moment in history.
It was the first time that the imperial organization carried out such a complicated task, and everyone was very excited.
King Yulong had longed for the vast sea since he was a child.
He once dreamed of being a pirate king, and only returned to reality when he grew up.
Now this childhood dream has been ignited again, The head of the agency decided to personally escort the goods to the sea for delivery, and asked Yan Qingyu to accompany him.
The captain, first mate, and chief engineer of Adomaru are all Japanese, and the sailors are Isshiki fishermen from Zhejiang, China.
The compasses, sextants, and charts used for navigation are all obtained from the navy stationed in Shanghai.
Yusang also provides services through high-level connections.
The Navy Ministry said hello that the combined fleet would not interfere with any activities of this small ship in the Pacific.
However, considering the unknown danger, King Yulong still equipped the cargo ship with weapons, including Japanese-made 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns, several Type 100 submachine guns, and several Nanbu pistols for self-defense.
King Yulong was worried that the Chinese sailors would rebel, and since he and Yan Qingyu were not strong enough to suppress it, he specially recalled Xu Tingge to serve as a guard on the ship.
Deputy Chief Xu felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to the upper class, so he immediately patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

As long as he is here, no one can lay a finger on Yu Sang.
The cargo ship was loaded with pig bristles, dry food and clean water.
It entered the sea from Wusongkou, Shanghai, and was driven by an experienced captain to the vast sea.
King Yulong breathed in the air with the smell of the sea, watched the white seagulls spread their wings and soared, and saw the sea and sky uniformly beautiful.
I was so incomparable that I couldn't help but stand on the bow of the boat and make a flying gesture, muttering to myself intoxicatedly: "I am the life of my dreams."
An albatross flew over the head, and the bird excrement smeared the Dragon King's head.
"Baga" Yu Sang was furious.
He picked up his white navy coat and wiped the bird droppings clean.
He pulled out his pistol and wanted to shoot down the albatross.
However, he saw dark clouds covering the sky approaching at a very fast speed.
His expression changed greatly: "I want to change."
Oh my god."
The weather at sea suddenly changed, a heavy rain came, and the wind howled, blowing the freighter like leaves in the wind.
The sailors stuck to their posts and fought with the waves.
King Yulong, Yan Qingyu, Xu Tingge and others all vomited to the sky, so The storm passed quickly, and everyone was soaked to the skin and in a miserable state.
"Gentlemen, we have withstood the most severe test, congratulations to you."
King Yulong cheered everyone up.
A sailor passing by said disdainfully: "This is the smallest storm, the worst is yet to come."
Everyone was embarrassed and silent.
The sailor's crow's mouth did not come true.
The road from Shanghai to the Philippines was smooth and the sea conditions were good.
A large number of Japanese transport ships were encountered at sea, traveling between the mainland, mainland China, and the occupied areas of Nanyang.
The territory of the empire was getting larger and larger, and various supplies were needed to support the soldiers.
The transportation depends entirely on sea transportation lines, and sea transportation requires a large amount of oil and coal.
The shipyards are in the mainland, the coal resources are in China, and the oil resources are in Southeast Asia.
If the sea transportation is cut off, King Yulong simply dare not think about it.
Our Great Japanese Combined Fleet is extremely powerful and must be able to maintain control of the sea.
King Yulong could only comfort himself in this way.
However, Japanese warships are rarely seen at sea, and the entire combined fleet is nowhere to be found.
It is said that the fleet was severely weakened after the Battle of Midway and no longer dared to launch a decisive battle.
I think this rumor turned out to be true.
After several days of sailing, King Dragon King, who dreamed of becoming the Pirate King, was already vomiting.
He saw a small rock on the sea and asked the Japanese captain: "What is that?"
"That's Scarborough Shoal, a fishing ground for Chinese fishermen, and further east is the Philippines.
We're about to arrive at our destination, Your Excellency."
"So."
King Yulong was overjoyed.
He picked up the telescope and stood on the deck to look at it.
He was complacent when suddenly a burst of white smoke came out of the roaring machine, and the food stopped.
The engine sailors hurriedly repaired it and finally got back to work.
The speed was no longer half as fast as before.
They staggered towards Manila.
They encountered another storm on the way, and the cargo ship was washed away by the ocean current to an unknown place.
The next morning, King Yulong woke up from a coma.
His forehead hit a big bump on the bulkhead.

When he got up, he saw that the cargo ship was stranded.
There was a small island in front of him, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, coconuts swaying in the wind, the sea blue and transparent, and the strong wind from last night.
The huge waves must have been like paradise.
The captain told him with a sad face that this was an unknown island in the southern Philippines.
There were no Japanese troops stationed on it and it did not rely on any shipping routes.
Adomaru's steam engine was completely broken and the radio was also destroyed.
In other words, they were now Shipwrecked.
This is an uninhabited island.
Fortunately, there are coconuts to eat and fresh water to drink, so you won't starve to death.
Every day, sailors light fires on the island to attract passing ships and planes with fireworks.
However, this place is really remote and I have been here for a week. , everyone's eyes were dazzled by hunger and they were staggering on their feet.
The authority of the Japanese on a deserted island was ineffective.
The Chinese sailors first refused to serve them, and then they were ready to take action and secretly discussed killing the Japanese.
Of course, these were the suspicious speculations of King Yulong.
He simply regretted it.
You shouldn't come to deliver the goods in person.
Looking at yourself in the sea, your bearded, haggard and thin face looks like a ghost.
Yan Qingyu and Xu Tingge were not much better.
They just lay on the beach and missed the big bathtub bed in the garden house in Shanghai, as well as steak, red wine and beautiful women.
They talked with mouths full of saliva and tears in their eyes.
I don’t know how many days passed, but suddenly one day, Yan Qingyu, who was lying on a coconut tree and looking into the distance, waved his hat and shouted: "Ship, a ship is coming."
A ship appeared near the uninhabited island.
It was not driven over, but floated up from the bottom of the sea.
This was a U.S.
Navy submarine.
At this moment, no one cares about which navy it belongs to, as long as they can survive.
A rubber raft was released from the submarine, and eight armed sailors landed.
They first disarmed the Asians, and then boarded the stranded ship for inspection.
After discovering a large number of pig bristles, the leading ensign officer asked: "Who is this?
Yan Qingyu" Yan Qingyu said: "Small yes."
"Oh, we are the USS Mackerel, and we have been ordered to deliver the goods to you," the ensign said
