Chapter 787 I want to see you
"Well, Mr. Madison, I can let the oil issue go for now."
Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "However, the end of July in the contract is too long for us."
"I still hope to see some oil arriving in Japan by at least mid-May."
"As you know, the Navy is taking this issue very seriously. Mr. Shinichiro Toyoda has sent two telegrams to inquire about the progress."
"If he gets angry, I'm afraid the Navy will have friction with Shell."
Madison lowered his head and calculated for a moment before slowly saying, "Okay, Minister Chen, I'll apply to the headquarters and try to get a batch of oil delivered in May."
“Fiona, let’s go first. I guess Minister Chen and Mr. Karl still have something to say.”
Only then did Chen Yang see the white woman next to Madison.
Well, he looks good, but there seems to be a lot of hair on his hands, and his eyes are also weird.
Staring at me was like staring at some rare animal.
"Minister Chen, nice to meet you. I heard that your wife is Mr. George's sister. I have met Mr. George several times and we have a very pleasant conversation." Fiona extended her hand to Chen Yang and said, "We will have a cocktail party next week. If you have time, you can bring your wife along."
Chen Yang extended his hand and shook it gently, smiling and saying, "Thank you, Madam, for your invitation. I will definitely go if I have time. However, you also know that my position is very troublesome."
"I wish I could be as free as Mr. Madison and spend the whole day with my wife..."
Fiona covered her mouth and laughed: "Minister Chen really loves to joke."
After seeing off the Madisons, Karl took out a bottle of brandy from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for Chen Yang, and said with a meaningful smile: "Minister Chen, I really envy young people like you who can attract the attention of the opposite sex wherever you go."
"Can't you see? Ms. Fiona seems to be very interested in you."
Chen Yang took the glass and clinked it with his, saying, "I'm not interested in her, and besides, she's Madison's wife."
"What wife..." Sir Carl laughed exaggeratedly: "Madison's wife and children are all in the UK. This Ms. Fiona is not his wife."
"To be precise, she is a widow."
"Huh?" Chen Yang looked incredulous.
"The father of this lady Fiona is one of the few dukes in the UK, Don Pillison."
"She married Colonel Bracken when she was sixteen. However, her husband was an unlucky man and died within three years of their marriage."
"From now on, she is free, not only has a rich fortune, but also an outstanding family background."
"Following Madison is just because of his position as the president of Shell Asia."
"Besides..." Sir Carl showed a smile that every man understands: "At her age, how could Madison possibly satisfy her."
Wow. The last sentence was true. Chen Yang nodded. The two looked at each other and laughed inexplicably at the same time.
"Sir Carl, let's get back to the topic. What exactly do you want to say when you called me here?" Chen Yang asked curiously after taking a sip of brandy.
"Oh, the CIA has responded to the question you asked me last time." Carl seemed to remember something, walked back to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out an envelope.
"The Treasury Department has just allocated funds to buy fifty warships from the Americans. These black-hearted arms dealers know that we need warships, but they are actually selling second-hand warships as new ones."
“What a bunch of hooligans.”
Having said that, Sir Carl angrily threw the envelope on the desk.
Chen Yang put down his wine glass and picked up the envelope. Inside was a stack of black and white photos, all of which were of various ships.
"These are photos taken by the CIA of the fleet docked at Pearl Harbor awaiting overhaul."
As Chen Yang looked at it, he asked casually, "Sir Carl, don't you want to know why I need this information?"
"Haha." Sir Carl laughed, "The Shanghai Workers' Daily, Pioneer Daily, and Xin Shenbao all published the Japanese southward movement plan on the front page. How could I not know about it?"
"Besides, the Japanese have been interested in the Philippines for a long time."
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with us being able to let them teach the arrogant Americans a lesson."
Chen Yang was stunned. It is said that the British are well-known troublemakers. This is indeed true.
Knowing that the Japanese were planning to target the Americans, they still fanned the flames.
Of course, American secrets are American business. What do they have to do with the British?
But, should we just hand over the information to the Japanese?
This situation is indeed a bit like when they accidentally stepped into a puddle while walking in front. At this time, instead of reminding the people behind them, they hide aside and watch others step into the puddle.
This is the typical mentality of wanting to see others laugh at one's jokes and harming others without benefiting oneself...
However, the British had always believed that the Japanese army's plan to move south was just what was said in the newspapers, namely, to attack the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries.
They didn't know that the Japanese army's goal had always been the US mainland...
Shanghai, Agent No. 76 Headquarters.
In the office on the second floor, Dong Fang took off his hat, bowed to Ding Cun and said, "Director Ding, I have heard a lot about you."
Ding Cun frowned and said unhappily, "Mr. Dong, I know you are from Shancheng."
"It's really brazen of you to just walk into my office like that."
"This is Room 76. I can detain you here at any time."
Dong Fang laughed and said, "Director Ding, you are the head of No. 76. Who dares to cause trouble in your territory?"
"I came here out of helplessness. We all know that you have a good relationship with Minister Chen. This time I just want you to help us connect."
As he spoke, Dong Fang took out a small box beside him, opened it and handed it over.
The box is an ordinary wooden box, but the things inside are not ordinary.
Below were several stacks of ten-dollar bills and on top were three large yellow croakers as thick as a child's arm.
This box of stuff is enough to buy a house in the most prosperous area of Shanghai.
"I had dinner with Director Chen before I came here, and Brother Zu Tao was full of praise for Director Ding."
"We are all family, Director Ding, please think of a solution."
When Ding Cun heard the words "Brother Zu Tao", his expression changed obviously and he looked around nervously.
After a while, he took the box and said slowly, "Mr. Dong, I have heard a little about your story. Last time, Minister Wu asked me to help pass on your invitation."
"But Minister Chen's attitude..."
I will update twice a day for the next few days. The author has to undergo surgery and may have to stay in the hospital for the entire New Year...
