Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's agreement, Kagesa Yuki perked up and quickly said, "I will arrange everything for Fujiwara-kun around the 20th of next month."
Number 20!
Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed. He already knew about the tripartite meeting of the puppet government, which was scheduled to be held in Qingdao, and had reported it to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.
However, the headquarters still lacked more detailed intelligence, so the director repeatedly asked him to investigate the details as soon as possible and determine the time and specific location of the meeting. Today, Kagesa Hiroki's arrival saved him a lot of trouble.
His eyes lit up, and a look of longing appeared on his face. He said with a hint of excitement, "I've long heard about Qingdao's seascape. This time, I'll choose a hotel by the sea and watch the sunrise and sunset in the morning and evening. That would be quite interesting."
Kagesa Hiroki laughed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Fujiwara-kun is absolutely right. The Qingdao Huiying Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in the area, near the sea with beautiful scenery. Moreover, it is a gathering place for our overseas Chinese and a key location for the garrison. There is also a naval base nearby, so there is absolutely no problem with safety. I will reserve a top-floor room for Fujiwara-kun, and I will make sure your trip is worthwhile!"
Now that everything was clear, Ning Zhiheng was certain that the Huiying Hotel was the venue for the meeting. According to Yingzuo Yushu, the Huiying Hotel was very suitable for the meeting in terms of both facilities and security, so it was probably the right place.
Once the time and place are confirmed, there is still nearly a month before the meeting. This gives the headquarters ample time to prepare and plan, and we believe they will be able to formulate effective measures.
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said happily, "Then it's settled. I'll go and relax too. To be honest, the environment in Shanghai is getting worse and worse, and the public security is becoming increasingly corrupt. It's very disappointing. It's supposed to be an important place in Central China, but in terms of public security, it's far inferior to Wuhan on the front line and Hong Kong in the south!"
Upon hearing this, Kagesa Hiroki's face turned somewhat embarrassed. He knew that Fujiwara Tomohito had spoken unintentionally, but the poor security situation in Shanghai was entirely due to the puppet government's stay in the city. He could only say, "Fujiwara-kun, please rest assured, this situation will improve soon. However, I do have a suggestion!"
"What suggestion?" Ning Zhiheng looked at Yingzuo Yuki with surprise.
"Fujiwara-kun, as you know, Nanjing is already preparing for the relocation of the new government to the capital. Moreover, with the war dragging on, we in Central China have decided to move our command headquarters to Nanjing. All departments are starting to relocate, and many have even begun to work in Nanjing."
It can be said that in the future, Nanjing will be our economic and political center in Central China. Even our Kagesa Agency will soon be relocated to Nanjing. Fujiwara-kun, I suggest that you also be stationed in Nanjing. This way, you and General Uehara can see each other frequently, support each other, and facilitate communication on many matters. This will also benefit the development of the Fujiwara Company. It's a win-win situation!
Ning Zhiheng had naturally considered this matter long ago. It must be said that in the years to come, Nanjing, as the command center of the puppet government and the Japanese Central China Area Army, had a political status and strategic value that surpassed Shanghai. He had long wanted to make a name for himself there, so moving into Nanjing was inevitable.
Moreover, the situation in Shanghai has stabilized, so there is no need for me to stay in Shanghai all the time. It seems that I need to strengthen the Fujiwara Company's presence in Nanjing, and some work needs to be done in advance.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "General, you are right. I have had the same idea for a long time. However, Shanghai is where my base is located. Many things need to be done step by step. I will make arrangements gradually in the future. When I get to Nanjing, I will need your help!"
Kagesa Hiroki laughed heartily and readily replied, "Haha, Fujiwara-kun, you're too kind! We'll advance and retreat together, so please take care of me when the time comes."
The two chatted happily for a long time before Kagesa Yuuki finally got up to say goodbye!
