Episode 09

What you mean is that

the New Japanese government wants to

distribute food to Hong Kong people, right?

Yes,

but now the frontline is tight,

Hong Kong has just stabilized.

And our military grain depot

is in the state of deficit.

Mr. Chi.

As our goodwill ambassador,

you should be grateful that your property

has been preserved to this day.

Well, I understand,

General, in fact,

you don't have to make it difficult.

I'm also responsible

for the stability of Hong Kong,

you see,

your grain depot is already in a deficit,

yet you still think about the poor people of Hong Kong.

It is really touching to me.

General, how about this,

my Chi family

will give you this batch of grain.

How's that sound?

Great.

Mr. General,

if this happens again in the future,

you just call me directly.

Today I didn't come in vain,

I was fortunate to taste

the tea from your hometown,

it's pretty good,

it's extraordinary.

Thank you.

If everything is fine,

I will leave now.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Bye.

What's the rush?

Why did he ask to see you?

For food.

Firing a blank in the street?

Yes.

It happened today, in the morning.

Did you catch that guy?

Not yet,

but not far from that place,

Kojima found a person,

Lin Xiaozhuang.

Mr. General...

What do you want to say?

I just wonder that

why did Lin Xiaozhuang happen to be there at that time.

You're suspecting Ye Chong's brother?

Do you have any evidence?

Not yet.

It's just a feeling.

Based on your suspicions alone,

the two sons from Qingquan family

are brought under suspicion.

Don't you think you have a problem?

Miyamoto,

if you don't have enough evidence

to justify your suspicion,

it will push me,

push us together into the abyss.

I hope you can understand what I mean.

But Lin was there when the blank shot happened,

he deserves to be suspected.

Don't forget that

he is also a Chinese.

The most important thing now is to find out

who made that shot

rather than making random guesses.

I ...

I don't want to hear you report useless information,

you should put your energy where it should be used.

Such as

the anti-Japanese elements,

and

that radio station.

Yes, sir.

They want to distribute food,

but transfer rice from your granary?

It's so ridiculous.

They're capable to kill people and set fires.

Let alone to steal a few grains from me.

That's true,

it seems that your positions as goodwill ambassador

will not save you from being exploited.

Their true colors are revealed now.

Wei,

I'm a little confused.

Because of the thing happened in the morning?

I think this matter is strange.

Chong,

the information I put in was taken away,

and I'm sure

it's the one who came to start me up.

Zhuangzi dreaming of becoming a butterfly?

Yes, it's our contact code.

Master,

you are tired today,

don't work late,

you need to rest early.

The matter of food hasn't been settled yet,

- how can I rest? - Master, you're back.

Yes, Zhang.

What's this?

In the morning,

a boy around 7 years old sent it here, he said it was for you.

Did you open it ?

No ,I didn't .

Open it.

Give me a pair of scissors.

The plan for the deployment of the southern Japanese military force

You must send out all information completely. HK.

Again,

the telegram appeared again.

It's indeed from our enemy.

Mr. General,

after the telegram appeared,

I monitored it for two days.

I intercepted all such secret messages.

There is no use

to intercept such secrets messages.

Since we don't have their codebook or frame of reference,

these telegrams are just

a pile of waste paper for us.

The radio station is very strange,

generally, anti-Japanese activists telegraph carefully,

but the frequency this operator uses is oddly frequent.

And he is constantly changing positions.

He sends the telegrams in a car.

The best solution is

to find the operator

and destroy the radio station.

Miyamoto,

there are so many cars in Hong Kong.

Any noise may affect the quality of monitoring.

It's impossible to find such a radio station by monitoring.

So,

I'd like to invite you, Major Ye,

the telecommunications expert, to work with me.

The direction-finding car is ready.

For the glory of the empire,

Major Ye wouldn't refuse me, right?

General Sato,

I can only give it a try.

But according to our conditions and equipment,

it's difficult to find

the accurate location.

Please give it a try.

Inform everyone,

the military and political offices are blocked,

no one can enter or leave,

if anyone dares to influence Major Ye's work,

I will make him pay.

Go get the direction-finding car ready.

Yes.

I need to check the direction-finding car first.

Major Miyamoto has an order that

no one can make a call.

It's okay.

You can monitor it while I am calling.

But...

Don't worry.

Fine.

This is joint-stock company.

I need to deal with something at Military Government today.

You can have fun by yourself tonight.

Let's make it another day.

But I already booked the ticket.

What should I do with it?

Talk to you soon.

Why you still standing here?

Let's start.

Let's get to work.

Go straight for 8 kilometers.

Turn left. 5 kilometers.

Everything is delivered.

Massage received, thanks.

Probably locked in

Nathan Road.

You can't lock the location for this long time?

Cause the signal has been moving all the time.

Sir,

the whole Nathan Road

is locked down

and it's besieged by us.

Go back to Military Government,

and bring all the reserves here.

We must catch him today.

Go!

This liquor is made in my hometown.

Nice.

Bro,

are you from Hokkaido too?

So do you?

There's a Chinese hit me

over there.

Where is him?

Right over there.

Stop!

Is that you who bullied our friend?

Did you hear me?

Bastard!

Do you know who we are?

Beat him!

Major Miyamoto.

Major Miyamoto.

You brought so many men here.

Is that for the routine inspection?

Right.

We found a moving radio station of CPC

located on this street.

So we do routine inspection here.

Checking cars is a must.

Checking cars?

I just looked around,

and found that there are over

20 cars stuck on this street.

You didn't check others' car but mine.

Are you giving me a hard time now?

Yes.

Your car is the most suspect.

Major Miyamoto.

As your country's goodwill ambassador,

and you know

my relationship with general Sato...

Don't threat me by the name of general.

I know you're very close to Sato.

It doesn't matter.

I will take the responsibility

if something goes wrong.

Go! Check the car!

Wait!

Major Miyamoto.

You can check my car.

If today,

you open my trunk

and find nothing,

what will you do?

If I find anything,

I won't let you go.

Go ahead.

Please.

Did you find anything?

So can I leave now?

Why you take so long?

Signal has lost

and I can't find him now.

So at least they need to do something.

Did you see him?

No.

Do you know what kind of car it is?

No.

But based on Miyamoto's expression,

he might already have a suspected target.

I can't stay there for long

because of my identity.

But I sent some drunks to make troubles there.

However, I can feel that

we get closer to our comrades.

Chong.

I know that

you want to see our comrades better than I am.

It's okay.

There must be a chance.

Sino-British armies joint launched battle plan against Japan. Japanese troops suffered from strong resistance from the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma. Two months later.

Within just a half year after occupying Hong Kong,

I was summoned by the emperor twice.

Since the information is leaked from Hong Kong,

any of you

can give me an explanation.

What the hell is going on here?

Come down, General.

Instead of blaming for mistakes

which already made,

we should consider how to fix it.

It's not that simple.

The imperial edict pointed out that

The whole battle plan

is canceled

because of our mistakes!

This will directly affect

the situation of war in Burma!

It's not a mistake.

This is a crime!

Now there are 40 thousand soldiers

who are trapped in the coast of Kyushu"yIsland

and Tai Kok Tsui.

They are waiting on the beach!

They're facing the situation of running out of ammunition and food!

I shall offer up my life as penance.

Mr. General.

I have a solution.

It may help us save the problem.

Master,

you need to take a rest.

You study these models

whenever you are free.

I can't relate.

HK appears again.

Sir, are you enjoying the heavy rain?

I left here, when poplar and willows were flying,

Now on the rainy and snowy day, I come back.

The Picking Osmund,

Book of Songs.

Mr. General,

we can borrow food from Mr. Chi again.

Mr. General,

we have no time to wait.

This may be the best solution.

Under such circumstances,

We have no other choices now.

I'll ask Chi Cheng to come.

No.

I will visit the Chi Residence personally.

Do you hear from other comrades?

In fact, we had to turn into

the subterranean organization since the winter.

Where are they?

Excuse me,

but I really want to see them.

That's why I come here.

Now

the Dong Jiang team keeps help us

transfer patriots and our comrades.

But you know,

the Japaneses are overly crazy.

They have blocked all wharfs.

The comrades I have contact with

need to leave Hong Kong immediately.

But they don't get any chance.

Do you want me to help you to transport them?

Yes.

As you have your own channels

and your own merchant ships.

You

are the best choice.

It's hard for you.

What are you talking about, Wei?

That's what I am supposed to do.

You know what?

Just now, HK told me

that this cheongsam he gave me look too small.

How long has it been since the last time

we used radio station?

We haven't used it since we sent the information

in that cheongsam.

Are there new tasks?

Do you remember the information Liu shared last time?

About the 7 comrades.

What's up?

I am asked to send them away from Hong Kong in person.

Master.

The Japaneses.

Mr. General,

Mr. Chi,

you look different today.

The old men in the Chamber of Commerce

complain that I always wear western style clothes,

So today

I changed my style a little bit.

The reason why Mr. Chi exists

is to change their habits.

Let them get used to it.

You are right.

Please come in.

Your house

is fabulous.

Mr. General

If I remember correctly,

the last time you borrowed food from me

was only two months ago.

Scenes change as time past by.

Very good.

Mr. Chi.

It's urgent this time.

The imperial warships have been lying in the shallows

for almost a month.

The supplements on warships are almost used up.

We haven't received any return command

from his majesty.

We can only wait for commands.

All this thanks to

all the anti-Japanese members

of the underground party in Hong Kong.

Without their damage,

our imperial warships carrying our elites

would have already tramped down the southeast Asia.

Mr. Chi,

if I remember correctly,

you promised to General Sato,

that during your cooperation,

there is no need to bother General Sato

to inform you when he need small help,

such as borrowing food.

I don't know if you feel our sincerity

when we visit you in person today.

Major Ye, don't worry.

I don't mean to break my promise.

However...

However what?

I promised you to distribute relief food to Hong Kong people.

But I didn't realize that

the situation in Hong Kong was so bad.

You know what?

In three days my granary almost became empty.

Now you want to borrow rice of the same amount?

I'd love to give,

but I don't have.

Mr. General,

if you want to solve the urgent problem.

I have a solution.

What is that?

Tell me.

The Japaneses are overly crazy now.

They have blocked all wharfs.

The comrades I have contact with

need to leave Hong Kong immediately.

What do you think of my idea?

Mr. Chi,

you want to make a deal with our military,

I'm OK with it.

But why in Vietnam?

First, it is close.

Second, based on my merchant's intuition,

wine and silk are everywhere in Hong Kong,

but they are like treasures for the Frenchmen in Vietnam.

Exchange our normal thing for their food and wood.

I believe it will be profitable.

Ah, that's it.

OK.

Mr. Chi put in so much effort to bring our empire benefits.

Of course I'll approve it.

Surely,

the Japan government in Vietnam

will also help you.

That'd be great. Then it's a deal.

I'll start packing.

So resolutely?

This is always my style.

The goods are available.

and the ships of Xinghe Society can be used anytime.

So why wait?

It makes sense.

It makes sense.

Ye Chong,

this time, Mr. Chi

will go to Vietnam.

He carries a big duty for our empire,

he can't go alone.

So,

You go to Vietnam

with Mr. Chi

to get the food.

It's my pleasure to work with Mr Chi.

My pleasure too.

That's it.

Set off the day after tomorrow.

Mr. Chi.

Your house

is indeed fabulous.

Take care, Mr. General.

What's our next move?

Tell HK

our chance has come.

Vietnam?

Why would they ask you to go?

To protect the cargoes.

I'm working for the Japanese after all.

Vietnam is chaotic.

I still have some old friends at

Japanese military office there.

Besides,

I don't want this Mr. Chi to get out of my sight.

You still think there's a problem with him?

I have a hunch there is.

But now I'm not sure about that.

As for whether the problem will do us good or bad,

I'll find it out

in this operation.

Okay.

Then take care.

You must be careful.

Right.

That call disappeared again.

When did it disappear?

It has been silent for two days.

I'll transfer HK and seven other comrades to Vietnam. The radio station will go silence. Take care.

Master.

Where are we going now?

To Xinghe Society.

This time we're leaving.

I'm really worried about those brothers.

And we need some help in Vietnam.

Okay.

We're honored to have President Chi today.

Let's welcome President Chi to say something.

Brothers.

Now the time is chaotic.

Everyone's living in danger.

But I know

every brother of Xinghe Society is loyal and faithful.

But if we want to stand up strong in the turbulent times,

apart from loyalty and faith,

we need to learn when to step back.

Xinghe Society has become a thorn in Japanese's flesh.

So I hope everyone

can pay extra attention while acting.

Don't let them hold us to account.

Do you hear me?

Yes.

Feng.

Take them back.

I'll talk to your sister.

Sure.

Brothers.

Dismiss.

What?

Something you can't say in front of others?

Jin Xiang. Listen to me.

I can't take the position of the President

of Xinghe Society.

No, you must.

Here's the thing.

I promised Sato to take care of Xinghe Society.

It's just an expedient solution.

I have a lot to attend to for Chi's business.

Now I've given the title of some kind of peace keeper.

I don't have the time and effort to do this.

I'm the former president of Xinghe Society.

You're embarrassing me.

My reputation will be ruined

if others know I don't pay you back.

How am I supposed to face all Hong Kong citizens?

Stop.

Are you really planning on paying me back?

Yeah.

Then I'll give you this chance.

Really?

Really.

From today on,

you should stay here

and recite these two books of Shakespeare's scripts.

You can't leave this room before you finish it.

I'll come back and check it.

What?

You haven't left, but you already miss me?

While I'm away,

take care of He Ying for me.

I think Miyamoto might

do harm to her.

You're right.

Without you refraining him,

Miyamoto will become even unscrupulous.

But don't worry,

I'll help you

take care of He Ying.

Major Ye.

You're really traveling light.

Nope.

My butler Wei

has helped me get my luggage

on the ship yesterday.

Major Ye, you only take one case?

The trip will be long.

It will be easier with less burden.

Then I'll embark now.

Okay. See you later.

Brother-in-law.

This is the inventory.

I've checked it with Wei.

Be assured.

Don't look around. Your sister is not here.

She must be really pissed off.

She wants to go with you.

But you don't let her.

You think too much.

Master.

Everyone's here?

They're all here.

Seven in total.

All in the engine room.

Others can't go in there.

Once the cargoes are moved to the chamber,

I'll ask them to go in there.

Where's him?

In your room.

209.

Have a seat.

Wei has told me.

Seven comrades have embarked.

Is that all you've found?

Yeah.

Seven.

No one left.

On this ship,

only me and Wei know you guys are here.

So you need to be muted just like those cargoes.

Sorry you have to do this.

It's nothing.

And,

although only one Japanese is here,

we have to be extra careful.

We shouldn't meet if not necessary.

After tomorrow when we get there,

you'll evacuate as planned.

Okay.

Our plan is watertight.

But

after accomplishing this mission,

I need to go back to Hong Kong.

Why?

Because I still have some unfinished business in Hong Kong.

Comrade HK,

for those unfinished tasks,

I'll help you finish them.

You must know

it's extremely difficult to

help you evacuate this time.

But comrade Chi Cheng,

do you know how long those seven comrades

have hidden and waited in Hong Kong?

When I got to them,

Hong Kong had already fallen.

Japanese troops were searching all anti-Japanese.

They didn't do any task given by the Party.

During this evacuation,

some of our comrades

left messages using their own way.

And the code name HK

is the only thing the rest comrades know.
