Chapter 649: Even a real brother has to be screwed

"This plan is what I wrote." Chen Yongren patiently repeated: "You seem very surprised?"

"……" Chen Yongyi didn't know how to respond for a moment.

This is not just surprise; it's outright shock.

Chen Yongyi could be certain that if they truly fought according to the plan, the troops stationed in North China would step by step fall into the enemy's trap, suffering heavy losses.

What surprised him most was that this plan was actually made by his own younger brother.

"Don't look at me like that." Chen Yongren thought for a while and said: "Strictly speaking, I merely figured out Okamura Ningci's thoughts; otherwise this plan wouldn't have passed."

Chen Yongyi nodded; that's indeed a fact—Okamura Ningci, that old bastard, is sinister and crafty; if this plan didn't suit his taste, it definitely wouldn't pass.

"Precisely because I know how much trauma this plan will cause me… uh… you, I informed you right away." Looking at the dumbfounded Chen Yongyi, Chen Yongren tapped the table, dazed: "Pour me a cup of tea!"

"……" Chen Yongyi.

This is his own younger brother, his own brother, and besides, he brought such an important battle plan; with this plan, they could prepare in advance.

Chen Yongyi poured Chen Yongren a cup of tea.

Chen Yongren didn't stand on ceremony, picked up the cup and drained it in one gulp.

Damn it.

Since meeting Yongren, how does it feel that gathering intelligence is much simpler than I imagined?

Originally, to obtain accurate intelligence, I didn't know how much effort it would take.

But now…

This is the how manyth piece of intelligence Yongren has brought?

It's fine; you'll get used to it. Seeing through Chen Yongyi's thoughts, Chen Yongren muttered to himself.

Back then, Lin Ke Xin was just like you.

Now you've learned to lie back and accept my information with peace of mind.

"Yongren…" Chen Yongyi said.

"Forgot to tell you, you can just call me by my courtesy name." Chen Yongren gave a wicked smile.

Chen Yongyi exclaimed in surprise: "You still have a courtesy name?"

"Of course, my given name is Yongren, my courtesy name is Lixing." Chen Yongren said seriously.

Chen Yongyi looked at Chen Yongren in surprise: "Who gave you this courtesy name?"

Obviously, he knows very well the meaning of this courtesy name.

Likewise, he understands that such a courtesy name isn't something just anyone would casually give to his younger brother.

To have the gall to come up with such a courtesy name…

"You've already guessed it, haven't you?" Chen Yongren retorted.

"You really are…" Chen Yongyi let out a deep sigh.

He suddenly realized that his younger brother had too many surprising aspects.

Chen Yongren is too deeply tied to the Military Statistics Bureau; for a moment he can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

After sighing, Chen Yongyi looked at the plan in his hand.

Although he already knows the specific plan, how to ultimately respond remains a very serious question.

Fighting requires equipment, after all.

"I've already given you the plan; what are you worrying about?" Chen Yongren feigned incomprehension: "Even if the plan changes somewhat, the overall offensive approach won't."

"I'm worried about the equipment; you think fighting is simple, but you, being in the Military Statistics Bureau, should know we've always lacked weapons and equipment."

Weapons and equipment?

Chen Yongren thought of the weapons and equipment, food supplies stockpiled in the system warehouse.

"Only equipment?" Chen Yongren asked deliberately.

"I also want food, white sugar, and salt; you need to have those too." Chen Yongyi complained offhand.

"Don't say that, you really shouldn't say that." Chen Yongren said seriously: "Although I don't have these, I can figure out a way to get them."

"Could you have forgotten my identity?"

Hmm?

Upon hearing that, Chen Yongyi looked at Chen Yongren.

Yes.

His younger brother, posing as a little devil, has been thriving in the North China military department, even able to obtain battle plans, which proves his status is extremely high.

Getting some equipment and weapons out wouldn't be that difficult, would it?

No, if done that way, not leaking would be fine, but once exposed, his younger brother would be in trouble.

Seeing Chen Yongyi care so much about him, Chen Yongren felt quite happy inside.

After all, he's a real older brother.

"No, this is too risky." Chen Yongyi shook his head and refused: "Your identity is far more important than procuring equipment, and besides, these are scarce supplies; once discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Rest assured." Chen Yongyi coaxed: "It's normal for Japanese high officials to profiteer from power; I can solve the supplies by smuggling goods."

"As for weapons and equipment, we have monthly recycling of scrapped guns; I'll figure out a way to turn them over."

"As long as I don't fall from power, absolutely no one will dare to investigate this."

Speaking of this, Chen Yongren opened his eyes and spoke nonsense: "Of course, money can't be lacking, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fulfill my duties."

Upon hearing that, Chen Yongyi's eyes lit up.

Thinking about it that way, it really could work; with my younger brother's abilities, handling these things would be a breeze.

"What about the price?" Chen Yongyi asked.

Since we have to buy supplies either way, why not find someone trustworthy?

"Market price, door-to-door delivery, guaranteed safety." Chen Yongren said: "If you're willing, I'll first tally the supplies these few days, and we can discuss the rest slowly."

Having done business with Chen Dian in Songhu before, Chen Yongren was already familiar with the process.

"This matter, I will report it to my superiors as soon as possible." Chen Yongyi said seriously.

Chen Yongren didn't waste words, got up and left, returned to the hotel, and began checking the inventory in the system warehouse.

Thompson submachine guns: 530 units, ammunition: 20000 rounds.

Type 38 rifles: 6200 units, ammunition: 120000 rounds, high-explosive hand grenades: 5000, TNT explosives: 500 kilograms.

Rice: 15 tons, white flour: 20 tons, white sugar: 2 tons, edible salt: 1 ton, cooking oil: 2 tons, canned beef: 500 boxes, kerosene: 1 ton, anti-inflammatory medicine: 20 boxes.

Having both medicine and supplies, it's enough to carry out a large-scale campaign.

Chen Yongyi's report application also takes time; the little devil Chen Yongren isn't in a hurry either, planning to contact his own brother in a few days.

Early the next morning.

When Chen Yongren arrived at the North China Army Headquarters, he was again told that Old Devil Okamura wanted to see him.

His insight also turned up nothing.

Chen Yongren felt a bit strange.

It couldn't be that the Japanese had noticed the battle plan leak.

If that were really the case, the Japanese's reaction would be too fast.

He walked to the door of Okamura Neiji's office.

Huh…

There seemed to be an extra stranger in the room.

"This is too strange; I've clearly already drawn the suspicion of the intelligence department, so why haven't they moved against me, but instead given me an opportunity to contact intelligence?"

"I was already under suspicion, and there was no suitable person to take over the work; if I suddenly withdrew, I would lose any chance to pass information outward."

"Although this trip is more perilous than promising, as long as I can discover valuable intelligence at the very last moment of my life, everything will be worth it!"

……

Hearing this stream of thoughts, Chen Yongren felt a bit strange.

Japanese?

What the heck did this old devil Okamura Neiji bring here?

Chen Yongren pushed open the door.

Seeing that, besides Okamura Neiji and Anda, there was also a strange figure standing in the room.
