Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 278: 35 Mustard Gas Bombs

Neither side had any so-called hard evidence, and the negotiation turned into a war of words.

Moreover, as the quarrel escalated, the content of the meeting gradually deviated from the intended goal.

The French accused the Japanese of framing them, and the Japanese accused the French of fabricating facts.

The two sides exchanged sharp words and argued endlessly...

If outsiders heard these people arguing, they would probably laugh their heads off.

The officials of the consulate quarreled just like small vendors in the market.

The only thing missing were the greetings to both sets of parents.

This is so shameless...

The negotiations lasted for three days, but in the end no substantial progress was made.

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Consulate in Shanghai.

Li Xianshu sat in a chair and listened quietly to Kuroda Yusuke report on the negotiation progress and the final result.

Qingqi Qingyin and Chen Yang stood aside, not daring to make a sound.

Failed, the plan to close the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway ultimately failed.

The two departments worked together to take charge of this matter, but the final result was like this. How could the two dare to say anything?

"Mr. Salas, the French Minister to China, refused to accept the Empire's proposal to close the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway." After stating the final result, Kuroda Yusuke closed the folder and stepped aside.

"Okay, I get it." Li Xianshu didn't get angry, but just said it lightly.

"You two go first. Chen Yang, you stay."

Chen Yang was slightly stunned. Qingqi Qingyin and Kuroda Yusuke hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, and left the office as if they were escaping.

"Sit down." Li Xianshu said, pointing to the chair in front of her.

"Do you know why I want you to stay?" Li Xianshu said lightly after Chen Yang sat down.

Chen Yang carefully guessed: "Is it because I didn't do well in this matter?"

Li Xianshu glanced at Chen Yang and said, "Then tell me what you did wrong in this matter."

Chen Yang frowned and hesitated, "Should I choose a more suitable person to play the role of the agent?"

"Stupid," Li Xianshu cursed bluntly.

"You still believe that the failure of this mission was not due to a problem with the plan itself, but because the wrong people were chosen."

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think there is nothing wrong with Director Li's proposal."

Li Xianshu sighed and said, "This is your biggest problem."

"You like to make a small profit with a big investment. As a businessman, this is a good quality, but don't forget that you are not doing business now."

"Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, do you know why the ancients put merchants at the bottom?"

"It is understandable that merchants travel from place to place, buying and selling, and making profits."

"However, in order to increase their profits, they often take risks and try to gain big profits with small capital."

"If you don't have this sense of adventure in your heart, you are not a qualified businessman."

"But it's different now. As an official with great power, you need to have the awareness of doing things as an official."

"Just like the powerful officials in ancient times, you can be cruel, ruthless, and unscrupulous, but you can never gamble."

"You must be sure of your decision to do this. A gentleman should give orders directly. You must have a legitimate reason to do so."

"Do you understand?"

Chen Yang's heart trembled. This aunt was indeed a person who could do great things. Her vision was indeed different.

After a long silence, Chen Yang nodded, but asked in confusion: "Aunt, did you see that this plan would fail a long time ago?"

Li Xianshu smiled faintly and said, "That's not the case. The plan you designed can be considered an unconventional one."

“At first glance, it does seem to be very manipulable.”

"Based on my understanding of Li Qun, he would not be able to come up with such a trick commonly used by street hooligans. It must be one of his subordinates."

"And you agreed to this proposal without hesitation. I think you should know who came up with this plan."

"This..." Chen Yang didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

"Chen Yang. You are in a different position now. Try not to get too involved with the people and things from the past."

"It won't do you any good in the future."

After a pause, Li Xianshu said, "Actually, I also want you to fall."

"You have had a very smooth journey from being in this position till now."

"You think you can control everything with the power and some tricks."

"Not enough, you haven't done enough,"

"You think you can command them now that you have connected with some imperial officers, but you are wrong."

"That's because you are powerful enough now and can bring them enough benefits, and your power is still because I am in this position."

"If your power is weakened one day, they will immediately abandon you,"

"So, I want to tell you that sometimes, in addition to giving the other party benefits, you also need to have some leverage over them."

"Enough leverage to keep them in control."

"Aunt, what are you talking about? You want me to..." Chen Yang was shocked by Li Xianshu's words.

He was already bold enough, but this aunt was even more cruel.

Even those high-ranking officials dared to do dirty work and leave evidence.

"What's so strange about this? As long as your actions do not harm the interests of the empire, it's your business what you do."

Li Xianshu chuckled and said, "You are more qualified than Ryosuke for these things, and you know how to operate them better."

"That child has been very honest since he was young. Just like his father, Yamamoto Kazuo, he has no future."

"On the contrary, I see you as someone who has perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Li family. Your work style and talent are like those of the Li family."

Haha, the chairman of the Black Dragon Society, the tycoon who controls 60% of Japan's port transportation industry, Li Xianshu actually said that he has no future.

So what should I do to be successful?

Chen Yang stood up, bowed and said, "Aunt. I know what to do."

Li Xianshu nodded and said, "Come with me to meet someone later. You have an important matter to do next."

"Meet someone? Meet someone?" Chen Yang was a little curious.

"Temporary commander of the 155th Epidemic Prevention Unit, Colonel of the Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention Department, Professor of Bacteriology, Kojiro Koyama."

Li Xianshu paused and said, "The Ren Plan formulated by Commander Gangcun is about to be implemented."

"The 155th Epidemic Prevention Unit stationed in Jinling has prepared mustard gas bombs. The first batch will be sent to the front line in ten days. The Land Direct Aircraft Squadron will begin to carry out bombing missions towards Nanchang."

"You are just going to help them transport the poison gas bombs to Wuhan."

"Ah." Chen Yang was suddenly startled.

Chapter 2 Haha, there is another chapter that will probably be published in the evening, there are too many things to do...
