648 Changchun

Zhou Yun also slept for a while, and all the team members slept for a while. Even the people on duty were sitting in the cabin to prevent anyone from coming in.

This awakening made everyone feel refreshed.

Everyone went to buy food and came back to eat. When they were full, they could only be called full, not good!

After sleeping enough, after eating, it’s time to work!

Ito Jingjie asked Zhou Yun to arrive in Wuhan as soon as possible two days ago, and a passenger ship called Changchun was on board. He then accepted Tokyo's telegram order.

Although the people from the Central Commission for Discipline stopped Zhou Yun and the others. Later, Zhou Yun tried his best to rush back to the time difference, first the cruise ship was a cargo ship, which was much faster than the passenger ship. This made him arrive in Yichang in advance and happened to board the Changchun in Yichang.

When they arrived at Changchun, Zhou Yun did not tell Ito Jingjie and Tokyo, so they thought I was still rushing to Wuhan. It happened to have a good sleep during this period.

When the Changchun arrived in Wuhan, Zhou Yun received a telegram from Ito Jingjie and asked him if he had arrived in the Changchun. Zhou Yun replied that it was. Ito Jingjie then reported to Tokyo.

Tokyo immediately sent Zhou Yun a telegram, asking him to look for a man named He Jinxing on the Changchun before the Changchun arrived in Jiujiang. This person had something that the Japanese needed, and the minutes of this Sino-US talks.

Minutes of the Sino-US talks? Why should I carry such an important thing with me?

Zhou Yun couldn't help but wonder. When Ito Jingjie's telegram arrived, Zhou Yun realized what was going on.

He Jinxing is a director of the China Minerals Agency. He participated in the Sino-US negotiations this time. The main reason is that there is a clause in the negotiations that the US side will give China military aid and will also sell a batch of arms to China. This batch of arms needs to be purchased by China. China does not have US dollars, so it sells China's minerals to the US side. Both sides will convert them at the price.

Because He Jinxing is the director in charge of mineral planning, he will go to Jiangxi to implement the matter of supplying minerals to the United States.

The Japanese knew about He Jinxing's situation in advance, so they kept a close eye on his actions. They soon knew that He Jinxing was going to Jiangxi. So, the Japanese side was preparing to kidnap He Jinxing halfway.

It just so happened that Zhou Yun and the others were in Chongqing, so the task was handed over to Zhou Yun.

They did not notify Zhou Yun in advance, nor did they let Zhou Yun board the boat in Chongqing. In that case, it would be easy to be noticed. Besides, Zhou Yun was making a big fuss. When he boarded the boat in Chongqing, the Chinese side would definitely be nervous, and He Jinxing would definitely not take the boat.

They plan to get Zhou Yun to Wuhan and board the ship in Wuhan. Wuhan is a Japanese-occupied area, and no one will take care of Zhou Yun's boarding, and they can ask the Japanese and puppet sides to provide help.

They never thought that Zhou Yun actually got on the boat in Yichang.

After getting on the boat, Zhou Yun sent more than 20 people out to find out what celebrities or people of certain value were on the boat.

Zhou Yun was thinking about a question, why did the Japanese let themselves get on this boat? It was impossible to let him take this boat back to Shanghai. That was the way to eat more than one's food. Japanese people didn't have such good intentions!

There must be something on this boat that interests the Japanese.

Of course, it is not weapons and equipment, nor is it mechanical equipment. The Japanese do not lack these things. They don’t have to come to the boat to grab them.

That's just people! Technical personnel, intelligence personnel, military personnel, high-ranking officials...

After investigation by the team members, Zhou Yun finally ruled out few technical personnel, intelligence personnel, military personnel, and high-ranking officials, and the biggest one was the director.

At this moment, Zhou Yun received a telegram from Tokyo and asked him to find someone. This person was a director of the Minerals Department and went to the mines in Jiangxi.

Although the Japanese army occupied many places in Jiangxi, Yudu and other tungsten sand production areas were still under the control of the national army. This place is still under the jurisdiction of Chongqing.

This time, He Jinxing was planning to get off the boat in Jiujiang and take the boat on the Ganjiang River to the mining area. There were a lot of boats on this river, and the tungsten sand was transported from the Ganjiang River to Shanghai.

Tokyo ordered Zhou Yun to kidnap He Jinxing on the ship, and then took the boat directly to Shanghai without getting off the ship.

Zhou Yun immediately sent a telegram to Director Dai, telling him that the Japanese were preparing to kidnap He Jinxing. He asked He Jinxing what value was worth the Japanese.

Soon, Director Dai called back: He Jinxing participated in the Sino-US talks. Although he was only responsible for the minerals, he participated in the entire meeting throughout the meeting and should know the content of the entire talks.

Zhou Yun suddenly realized that the Japanese wanted to have the content of the Sino-US talks.

Zhou Yun knew about this content. He broke the sound insulation of the conference room through the small hole drilled by the termite and knew the spirit of the meeting. But Zhou Yun was considering how to hand over this information.

If this information is handed over, it will have no impact on China. Instead, it will make Japan more worried when attacking. If the United States clearly supports China, Japan will face the United States directly. This is something that Japan does not want to face for the time being.

Therefore, if this news is revealed, it can slow down the pace of attacking China. Therefore, it is beneficial to China.

But it is not so beneficial to the United States. Because Japan and the United States are also partners of Shangyi.

In Japan, which had inherent shortcomings, almost all the military raw materials needed to invade China relied on imports, among which the most imported from the United States, accounting for 54.4% in 1937 and increased to 56% in 1938.

In 1937, the United States exported more than 5.5 million tons of oil to Japan, worth more than 150 million yen of machine tools.

In 1938, 34.4% of Japan's imports came from the United States.

In 1939, the United States' scrap steel exports to Japan were 9 times higher than in 1938.

From 1932 to 1939, Japan imported 18% of aluminum, 45% of lead, 75% of oil and petroleum products, 90% of copper, and 70% of scrap steel came from the United States.

From 1937 to 1939, more than 70% of the United States' exports to Japan were military supplies and strategic raw materials, with a total amount of US$510 million.

Among the goods imported by Japan from the United States, oil and petroleum products account for 37.4%, machine tools and equipment account for 20.8%, and military technical equipment and army and naval equipment account for 21.7%.

Of Japan's total petroleum fuel, 90% relies on imports, of which 70% relies on imports from the United States and 15% relies on imports from Borneo.

In 1939, China only borrowed three million from Britain, and the United States only borrowed 25 million US dollars in credit loans, but the United States gave Japan a loan of 125 million US dollars in 1938, as well as machine tools, military equipment and weapons.

From the above data, it can be seen that Japan's dependence is the United States. If the United States changes its national policies to support China, it will be a disaster for Japan.

American businessmen will definitely not give up on this way of making money. If the talks spread, there will also fluctuate in the United States.

After analysis, Zhou Yun believed that as long as he had the opportunity, he should disclose the content of the talks to Japan, so that Japan and the United States would have different intentions towards the United States, and thus make Japan and the United States go against each other.

I entered the meeting place and could not get close to that conference building at all. This is well known.
