Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

"Mr. Yokoyama, the place you chose this time is quite reliable. There are even two blockhouses." Zhou Ke looked at the site of the new regiment headquarters in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, Matsuda-kun, since we will be stationed here permanently, I specially modified two watchtowers. It's not because I'm really afraid of an attack on the camp, but mainly to deter the scoundrels."

Yokoyama Isamu was very satisfied with the results of his labor. This place would be used by them to hide their dirt in the future. If they didn't make it strict, there would be no regret if something went wrong.

"By the way, Yokoyama-kun, how is the training of the new recruits going? Our business is growing, and we always feel that we don't have enough manpower!"

Although Zhou Ke's Matsuda Military Police Regiment had received several batches of relatively high-quality reinforcements through the relationship with the commander's uncle, the overall number of personnel had actually always been short.

"The training is going very smoothly and it should be almost done by next month. I feel that the ideological work of these recent batches of reinforcements is obviously easier to do than before!" replied Yokoyama Isamu.

"Have you drawn up a list of outstanding personnel for your direct squadron?" Zhou Ke asked about the plan that had been made back home, which was to arrange for the soldiers' families to work in his own factory.

"The selection has been made, but Mr. Matsuda, could you please give us more vacancies? Ever since I told people about the treatment in your factory, everyone wants to arrange for their families to work there." Yokoyama Isamu said as he took out a booklet with the basic information of the soldiers.

"Let's arrange our oldest loyal followers first, and then we can arrange the rest later. This thing has to be scarce, and if we give too many away, no one will cherish it!" Zhou Ke took the booklet and explained.

"Reporting to the commander, there was a call from the Third Branch. They said that Mr. Kojima from the Special High Technology Department just called you." While Zhou Ke and the other man were talking, a communications soldier ran over to report.

"Yokoyama-kun, you should keep a close eye on the new recruits. Maori-kun is busy with business matters now, so we have to rely on you here. Combat effectiveness is secondary, and ideological work must be done twice as hard!"

After Zhou Ke gave Yokoyama Isamu a few more instructions, he called Kojima Hiroichi back. Kojima Hiroichi had no other business looking for Zhou Ke, he just wanted to introduce Zhou Ke to the leader of the anti-corruption team and arrange a meal for them.

.........

At 6:30 in the evening, in a private room of the teahouse.

The chef Zhou Ke brought from the high-end cafeteria prepared a table full of sumptuous and distinctive dishes, which made Kojima Hirokazu and the head of the anti-corruption team who came to the banquet very satisfied.

Zhou Ke actually prepared another table of simpler dishes, but after seeing that the anti-corruption team leader's reaction did not seem like that of a person who was out of touch with worldly matters, he stopped trying.

After some polite greetings, the host and the guest officially sat down. With Kojima Hirokazu's introduction, Zhou Ke and Yamauchi Osamu, the leader of the Special High Technology Anti-corruption Team, officially met.

Yamauchi Osamu was born into the Yamauchi clan of Tosa Domain, one of the four most powerful clans in the anti-shogunate movement. His family had a marquis seat in the Council of Nobles. The reason he came to work for the Special High Technology Department was entirely because he graduated from the police academy.

Although the two families had conflicts among their ancestors, because both of them were from large families and their family members now served as officials in the court beside the emperor, Zhou Ke and aristocratic young men of similar level like Yamanouchi Osamu got along very well.

As a person who has lived through the era of information explosion, Zhou Ke always gives people a sense of being knowledgeable when chatting with others in this era, which makes Yamauchi Osamu admire him very much during the conversation.

"Matsuda-kun, I'd like to invite you to dinner today, Mr. Kojima. Actually, I have something to discuss with you." After the two of them became more familiar with each other, Osamu Yamauchi explained the purpose of the dinner.

"What's there to discuss? Just tell me if you need any help from me, Yamauchi-kun," Zhou Ke said politely.

"I heard that Matsuda-kun's company owns a wharf. I have some business I'd like to do with Matsuda-kun." Yamauchi Osamu said straight to the point.

"What business? Just tell us, Yamauchi-kun. No one will come to disturb us." Zhou Kexin said. She is not afraid that you, Yamauchi Osamu, will do business. She is only afraid that you will not do business.

He remembered that the Special High Technology Corps had three terminals in Shanghai. Even with such great connections, Yamauchi Osamu did not look for a terminal at the Special High Technology Corps, which meant that he was obviously going to do something illegal.

In this case, Zhou Ke, as a lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Military Police and a member of the law and order maintenance team, must give his full approval. Even if the conditions do not allow it, he will create the conditions to help Yamauchi Osamu.

"Actually, there's nothing else to do. I just want to ask Matsuda-kun to transport some things to the country. I probably need to charter a slightly larger cargo ship specifically for the trip." Yamauchi Osamu said vaguely.

"Yamauchi-kun, you can explain it in more detail. Matsuda-kun is not an outsider!" Seeing that Yamauchi Osamu was hesitating, Kojima Hiroichi quickly reminded him.

"Matsuda-kun, as you know, our Special High Technology Division has been cracking down on corruption recently. There are many evidences that are not convenient to be transported back to the country through our own docks, so at the suggestion of Kojima-kun, I came to you for help."

After Yamauchi Osamu said this, his face turned slightly red, as if he had said something very embarrassing.

"No problem. Do you have a boat? If not, you can use mine!" Zhou Ke looked at this somewhat shy peer and readily agreed.

Now Zhou Ke finally understood why the anti-corruption campaign was making such a fuss, but the fat guy in charge had been sitting back and doing nothing.

Although Yamauchi Osamu was a big shot, he was not someone that Tobiko needed to worry about. The evidence that required a cargo ship to carry must have Tobiko's share, and it might even account for a large proportion.

The fat old man took advantage of this opportunity to eradicate many corruption tumors in the department and enrich his own pockets. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

"Thank you, Mr. Matsuda. I'll toast you a glass!" Seeing that Zhou Ke agreed, Yamauchi Osamu happily drank a glass with Zhou Ke.

"Matsuda-kun, we are not outsiders, how do you charge for shipping? I see you haven't mentioned it yet, are you not going to charge for Yamauchi-kun's sake?"

Seeing that the two men had not mentioned the issue of money, Kojima Hiroichi had no choice but to bring it up himself. He didn't believe that Zhou Ke would help them make this trip for nothing.

"To be honest, Senior Kojima, if you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have planned to accept it. But since you've already said it, it would be a bit disrespectful if I didn't accept a little bit."

Zhou Ke gave Kojima Hirokazu a bright smile in return. Are you kidding? This time it's free, but what about next time? This kind of free service can't be allowed.

"This is what we should do, Mr. Matsuda, let's discuss it..." Yamauchi Osamu glared at Kojima Hirokazu and then began to negotiate the shipping cost with Zhou Ke.
