Seeing that Zhou was not telling lies, Kikutaro claimed Hatano Shinjo's ashes and quickly left the Matsuda Military Police Regiment Headquarters with his assistant.

"Mr. Hashimoto, you did a great job this time. Here is your bonus. Also, in view of the current serious situation, I plan to increase your responsibilities!" Zhou Ke handed a heavy gold bar to Hashimoto Osamu who came to report.

"Sir, just give me your orders!" Hashimoto Osamu stood up, took the gold bar respectfully, and spoke excitedly.

"I plan to expand your manpower to a small team, and your only mission from now on is to keep an eye on the people of Mantetsu."

Although Kikutaro had just expressed to Zhou Ke the idea of ​​turning hostility into friendship, such words were just for show. As long as there was a chance, the people from the Mantetsu would definitely be the first to not let Zhou Ke go.

"Hi!"

"No matter what they do, report to me if there is anything unusual. If you can do this well, I promise that your military rank will be promoted again by the end of this year."

If you want the horse to run, you must let it eat good grass. This is Zhou Ke's usual style of doing things.

"Hey! Don't worry, sir. I will personally lead people to keep a close eye on the people of the Mantetsu Railway!" With the blessing of money and power, Hashimoto Osamu took the order and left with full confidence.

"This young man is good and very motivated!" Isamu Yokoyama, who was flipping through the business files in the area in the office, looked at Hashimoto Osamu's departing back and gave him a serious compliment.

"Mr. Yokoyama, you also work hard. I have high hopes for you. The positions of deputy commander and staff officer of our regiment have been reserved for you and Mr. Mori!" Zhou Ke said with a smile.

"Mr. Matsuda, I won't eat the pie you painted for now. Although I am a captain now, I am still doing the work of a deputy wing commander, and I haven't seen you increase my share." As Yokoyama Isamu said this, he handed a stack of files he had sorted out to Zhou Ke.

"Mr. Yokoyama, you finished organizing it so quickly?" Zhou Ke took the file with some surprise and started to look through it.

"I can tell at a glance which ones are the fat sheep here, and they are easy to find." Yokoyama Isamu said confidently.

"Very good, Yokoyama-kun, I only have one request. You and Maori-kun should personally control the progress of the inspection of merchants." Zhou Ke instructed as he looked at the merchants.

"Don't worry about this, Matsuda-kun. If I accidentally find current customers or potential customers, I will change the target immediately." Yokoyama Isamu agreed.

"Potential customers must be driven away as well, as long as they don't hurt the relationship. Now that local business is gradually picking up, we must quickly build our own power into an iron plate!"

In future plans, the Matsudaira family's industries in mainland Japan and the current territory of the Matsuda Military Police Regiment will be upgraded into a complete industrial chain integrating production, supply and marketing.

Everything needs money to pave the way, this is true now and even more so in the future. The war that has not yet ended is a good time to accumulate original funds.

Zhou Ke plans to make good use of his connections and the power in his hands to make advance plans and prepare sufficient funds for his future plans in the country.

It’s just a pity that the current market in the United States is such that even though Zhou Ke, a visitor from later generations, is very eager to participate in it, he still dares not set foot in it.

After all, once Commander Isoroku Yamamoto of the Combined Fleet formally dragged the United States into the attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor, his industries in the United States would most likely vanish overnight.

..........

Zhou Ke was studying the development issues in his territory like a lord. On the other side, in the Special High Technology Department, Doiyuan and several other high-ranking officials from the department and the consulate were having a very serious meeting in a conference room.

"Is the source of your information at Iwai Mansion accurate?" Doiyuan asked Iwai Yingyi, the deputy consul general of the Shanghai Consulate, with a gloomy face.

"It couldn't be more accurate. Some of the encryption of your Special High Technology Department was definitely cracked by the Chinese! Otherwise, how do you explain how the encrypted intelligence of the consulate was leaked recently!" Iwai Yingyi said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Mr. Iwai, is it possible that the intelligence leak has nothing to do with the encryption technology provided by our Special High Technology Department?" Doiyuan didn't think that the latest encryption system would be cracked by the Chinese so quickly.

"It's better to investigate it thoroughly. There will be big actions in the country soon. Intelligence leakage is no small matter!" Iwai Ying felt a little dissatisfied when he saw Tobiyuan arguing.

"I'll look into it, Iwai-kun. If you don't have anything else to do, I won't send you off!"

At this time, Doiyuan was also very dissatisfied with Iwai Oichi. He felt that it was obvious that someone inside the consulate leaked confidential information, but when something went wrong, they had to find the Special High Technology Department to take the blame.

"I suggest you check it in your country as well. The Chinese decrypted it too quickly, and we cannot rule out the possibility that there is a problem at the source!" Iwai Yingyi suggested with a frown.

"I will. Is there anything else, Iwai-kun?" Doiyori stood up and asked impatiently.

"You, the Special High Technology Department, must speed up your infiltration of the International Settlement. It won't be long before we take over the entire Shanghai market!"

When Iwai Ying saw Doiyuan's expression, he didn't say anything more about the password and turned to talk about another topic.

"Is the country going to officially declare war on Britain and the United States this year?" Doiyuan suddenly became interested. He put aside his previous unhappiness and sat down again.

"The voices are getting louder and louder. Although not everyone supports it, the Imperial Navy is very determined this time and has been preparing for a long time!"

Although Iwai Oichi didn't say it explicitly, he basically agreed with Tobi's statement. Now the chariot of the empire is moving faster and faster, and those who oppose it will either be crushed by the wheels or join the chariot.

"Our Special High Technology Department has been working on infiltrating the International Settlement to ensure that the Empire will be able to smoothly accept these territories that originally belonged to it!"

As early as last year, Doi-Yuan, in cooperation with the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters, had already infiltrated the management of the International Settlement. Now, he only had to wait for the east wind to arrive and take it down in one fell swoop.

"You have done a good job in this matter. When the time comes, our consulate will want 30% of the International Settlement pie. You have no objection, right?" Iwai Yingyi asked.

"Of course not!" Feiyuan didn't dare to argue with Iwai on this matter, so he agreed readily.

Even though the Special High Technology Department was placed under the name of the Military Police Command and under the leadership of the military after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, its normal operations had to be guided and coordinated by the military.

But in fact, the Special High Technology Department's original foundation was in the police stations of the consulates in various places. Even though it has been incorporated into the military for some time, they are still firmly clinging to the thighs of the consulates despite being unpopular.

"You'd better pay attention to the internal investigation I mentioned!" Iwai Oichi didn't say anything else. After giving instructions again, he left the Special High Technology Department with his confidant Yuan Shu.
