Chapter 2679 The First Intelligence - Intelligence Bait!
Wang Manchun was somewhat obsessed with the idea that Yu Manli was an extremely lucky person!
After all, being targeted by assassins and managing to escape each assassination attempt by accident is beyond just luck; it's more like being incredibly fortunate!
Wang Manchun felt that by interacting more with people like this, she might be able to avoid more assassination attempts, so she brought her people to the Meet Cafe, hoping to get to know Yu Manli.
Moreover, since both of them have the character "Man" in their names, they must have some kind of connection.
That's just how it is; when someone agrees with another person, even the other person's cold shoulder looks good.
When Wang Manchun arrived, it just so happened that Yu Manli and Wang Yue came to check the accounts together. The calculations were very accurate, and Wang Manchun arrived exactly 15 minutes later than Yu Manli.
"Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang!"
As soon as Wang Manchun entered, she greeted the two people in a very warm manner, making it seem as if the two were very familiar with each other.
"I've come to thank you. Thanks to you for saving my life, otherwise I might have died there."
When Yu Manli saw Wang Manchun arrive, she thought of some things she had heard recently. Wang Manchun's business investment in the 76th Intelligence Division was even more active than Liang Zhongchun's in the Action Division. Many underground party members and Kuomintang agents, and even innocent people, had been arrested by her. She was even more despicable than the Japanese devils.
You have to understand, the intelligence department is in charge of intelligence, arresting people is not her job at all, but she is always more proactive than Liang Zhongchun, the head of the action department, which shows how fanatical a dog Wang Manchun is in the Special Higher Police!
Yu Manli felt that people like Wang Manchun deserved to die a horrible death. Wang Yue should have shot her dead instead of leaving this menace alive, as it would have harmed many virtuous people!
Therefore, Yu Manli was clearly glaring angrily at Wang Manchun at this moment, as if she wanted to devour Wang Manchun. If she didn't know that she couldn't kill Wang Manchun at this time, she would have acted without hesitation.
It was Yu Manli's expression that reassured Wang Manchun even more!
In her opinion, Yu Manli was definitely not approaching her on purpose. Otherwise, since she had shown goodwill, the other party would have taken the opportunity to get closer so as to find out some information.
Knowing that Yu Manli wanted to kill Wang Manchun, Wang Yue smiled and patted Yu Manli on the shoulder. Yu Manli then reluctantly turned and left, giving Wang Yue a fierce glare as a clear warning not to have any more contact with Wang Manchun.
After Wang Yue and the others left, Wang Yue gave a forced smile and said to Wang Manchun, "Director Wang, you're too kind. It's not a matter of saving lives or not. We just happened to be passing by. My wife and you survived entirely because of good luck!"
He said this through gritted teeth, making a face as if he wanted to devour Wang Manchun!
"Mr. Wang is a businessman, so please consider my sincerity before making any decisions!"
Seeing that Wang Yue also had the same expression, Wang Manchun didn't care at all and calmly waved to the person behind her. One of her attendants took a document from his bag.
She took it and handed it to Wang Yue, saying confidently, "I sincerely wanted to get to know you two, and I believe this sincerity is enough to repay your life-saving grace."
Wang Yue put on an acting masterclass, appearing reluctant on the surface but also showing an expression of being unwilling to part with the benefits. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and took the document to take a look. This document turned out to be a Shanghai trade pass; with this, one could travel overseas without customs inspection.
Wang Yue understood that Wang Manchun had already investigated his trading company, so he smiled and said, "This gift is too valuable; I doubt it would be so easy to obtain."
Seeing that Wang Yue had taken the bait, Wang Manchun said very seriously, "Of course it won't be that simple. I know your fleet also engages in trade. I need you to transport a large amount of cotton. What do you think?"
Wang Yue immediately understood that the Japanese were short of cotton. Of course, he couldn't work for the Japanese. Just as he was about to release some news, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work. I heard that Britain and the United States are discussing increasing the maritime embargo against Japan. If I were to transport goods for you, I'm afraid the ships would be shot down!"
His message was enough to pierce the hearts of the currently ailing Japanese. He believed that if the investigation revealed even the slightest possibility that the information was true, it might lead to a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor ahead of schedule, and would also divert the Japanese's attention to Southeast Asia and their struggle with the United States.
Some might say that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a suicidal act by the Japanese, but that's not really the case.
Japan is a resource-poor country, and it needs to import everything from oil and steel to cotton and rubber. However, although the Pacific Ocean is vast, it cannot accommodate both Japan and the United States. Sooner or later, a war will break out between them!
The United States' arms embargo against Japan, which began in August 1938, had already angered the Japanese. Now, if we were to further provoke their sensitive nerves, they might actually take action ahead of schedule.
After all, the US Congress is full of proposals, all to reflect the attitude of these members of Congress. Wang Yue will definitely have this proposal; it's a common practice among Americans.
The Japanese army is not yet crippled, the navy is relatively well-equipped, and thanks to the massive explosion orchestrated by Wang Yue, it has not completely broken with the Soviet Union. If China were to take action against the United States first, it might actually weaken Japan and thus protect China.
Wang Manchun was surprised that Wang Yue hadn't inquired about the information but instead released such a message. Forgetting about business, she asked very seriously, "Is what Mr. Wang said true?"
Wang Yue shrugged and said calmly, "This matter has been suggested not only by the United States and the United Kingdom, but also by parliaments in several other countries. It seems that it won't be long before it is implemented. You only need to do a little investigation to find out; it can't be kept secret from anyone."
Upon hearing this, Wang Manchun didn't linger and immediately said solemnly, "If Mr. Wang's information is accurate, then you are a friend of the Empire. In addition to the trade license previously granted, the Empire will certainly offer other rewards."
Wang Yue replied casually, "Of course, of course. I also look forward to the good news Ms. Wang brings."
Wang Manchun didn't linger and turned to leave immediately.
After everyone had left, Yu Manli came out. She glared at Wang Manchun's retreating figure and asked gravely, "A-Yue, is the news you told us true or false? If it's false, won't it cause us trouble?"
