SFS Chapter 673 Night Raid on the Warehouse
Chapter 673 Night Raid on the Warehouse
Target, the Joint Transportation Department’s material warehouse?
After hearing what Nagano Seiichi said, everyone present looked a little unnatural.
These people have not been in China for long, but judging from the information in their hands and the performance of Colonel Nohara and others who were summoned earlier.
They were very sure that this Joint Transport Ministry was definitely not as simple as they seemed.
Especially the Supervisory Counselor Ikeda Shi.
He was responsible for guarding Nohara Takeo and his men.
Two colonels and a major general actually chose to commit suicide in the middle of the night. This scene left him with a huge psychological trauma.
Now, they actually want to attack the material warehouse of the joint transportation department.
That means we have to face that terrifying Minister Chen head-on.
For a moment, not only Ikeda Satoshi, but everyone's face looked extremely solemn.
As if seeing through everyone's worries, Nagano Makoto said, "Gentlemen, don't forget our mission in China."
"It is undeniable that our opponents are strong and even cruel, but this is not a reason for us to retreat,"
"Showa men must have the courage to face all difficulties and never forget that we still have the country behind us."
“No matter how powerful a joint transport ministry is, can it compete with a country?”
"Follow my orders and set off."
"Hi...."
This speech finally gave the group of people a little confidence, and everyone went downstairs quickly.
At this time, in the darkness downstairs, two cars with the logo of the Manchuria Railway Investigation Bureau had been waiting there for an unknown period of time.
Shanghai South Railway Station, Joint Transport Department Material Warehouse.
"Pile them up again. These materials will be sent to Wuhan the day after tomorrow. Don't stack them together with those sent to Zhengzhou to avoid mistakes."
"And here, these are the supplies that will be sent to the mainland next week. Don't stack them with the supplies that will be sent to the war zones."
Koichi Nitta took the material report submitted by the warehouse and made suggestions for rectification as he walked.
Captain Shinji Fukuda, who was in charge of guarding the warehouse, held a small notebook and recorded Koichi Nitta's orders while explaining the situation of the goods to him.
The material warehouse at Shanghai South Railway Station was carefully designed by Yoshisaburo Yamamoto.
Relatively speaking, it is more reasonable and easier to manage than the previous material warehouse of the Zongzi class in the north of the city.
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto may not be good at other things, but the Black Dragon Society started out as a transportation company, and is undoubtedly at the forefront in transportation and warehousing.
Therefore, the warehouse of the United Transport Department is easier to manage than other warehouses.
After going around all six warehouses, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Nitta Koichi closed the material report, handed it to Captain Fukuda beside him and said, "Mr. Fukuda, you have managed these warehouses quite well."
"Except for the lack of careful labeling of the material categories and some problems with storage, there were generally no mistakes."
"Work hard. If everything goes well, I will give you an excellent grade in the local assessment after the new year."
"Next year, you can also change your rank from captain to major."
Fukuda Shinji's face lit up, and he quickly bowed and said, "Hi, thank you Lieutenant Colonel Nitta for your training. I will definitely manage the warehouse well and will never make any mistakes."
Nitta Koichi patted Captain Fukuda on the shoulder, smiled and said a few words of encouragement, and was about to leave when suddenly, a figure ran in hurriedly.
The man who came was just an ordinary lieutenant, the patrol captain of the Joint Transportation Department's material warehouse, in charge of warehouse security.
He ran up to the two men, panting, saluted and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Nitta, Captain Fukuda, something bad has happened. A group of people have come outside. They claim to be from the local inspection team and are coming in to take inventory of our material warehouse."
"Lieutenant Moriyama, why are you yelling?" Nitta Koichi seemed to have expected this group of people to come, and said calmly: "Since they are a local inspection team, ask them to produce their identity certificates."
"If they want to investigate our warehouse, then please show them the investigation order."
"If all the paperwork is complete, you just need to bring them to the warehouse."
"Every item in our Joint Transportation Department's material warehouse is registered. You are so panicked that others might think there is something shameful in our warehouse."
"Ah?" Koichi Nitta's words confused Moriyama Yu.
Everyone in the entire Shanghai market knows that the Joint Transport Department's material warehouse is the largest gathering place for black market goods in Shanghai.
The supplies that are sent to various places every three days are all commodities that are banned from circulation on the market, including sugar, bandages, medicines and other military supplies.
If the Supervisory Group finds any evidence against them, they will all be in trouble.
"Lieutenant Moriyama, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Seeing that Moriyama Yu was still standing there like a log, Nitta Hiroshi's face instantly fell.
"No, no, no, I understand. I'll go verify it right away." Yu Moriyama didn't dare to disobey Koichi Nitta's order, so he ran out immediately.
Looking at the direction where Moriyama Yu left, Captain Fukuda whispered, "Lieutenant Colonel Nitta, these inspection teams came to sweep our warehouse in the middle of the night. It seems that they have something in their hands."
Nitta Koichi sneered and said, "Don't worry, the minister has long known that they are going to attack the material warehouse. Everything is ready, just waiting for them to come."
"Captain Fukuda, go gather everyone in the warehouse. We can't lose our manners when we have a distinguished guest."
"Hi..." Captain Fukuda saluted and hurried down to gather personnel from various warehouses.
Koichi Nitta pulled a chair and sat quietly in the middle of the warehouse, waiting for the inspection team to come.
About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard and Moriyama Yu walked in with a group of people.
Moriyama Yu trotted over to Nitta Koichi and saluted, "Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Nitta, the identity has been verified and all the procedures have been checked. There is no problem."
"Haha, you've worked hard, Moriyama-kun." Nitta Hiroshi stood up and walked forward and said, "You are all members of the local inspection team, right?"
"My name is Nitta Koichi, a transport officer of the Joint Transport Department. I am currently in charge of the transport coordination and material warehouse affairs of Shanghai South Station."
Nagano Makoto looked at him and smiled, "Lieutenant Colonel Nitta is still checking the material warehouse so late at night. This work attitude is really admirable."
Nitta Koichi waved his hand and said, "Nothing, this is my job. I don't know what your name is."
Nagano Seiichi took out his ID and handed it over with both hands, saying, "Deputy Chief of the Imperial General Staff's Supervisory Group, Nagano Shiroichi."
Nitta Koichi opened the ID, compared the photo on it with himself, and returned the ID with both hands, saying respectfully: "I'm sorry, Colonel Nagano, it's my duty, please don't mind."
