Episode 17

What are you doing here?

The man in the car behind us

is our specially appointed official from Chongqing

General Liang, wait for a moment

I'll go and have a look

I'd like to speak to your boss

We have orders

not to let anyone in

Now the situation is very tense

Just get out of here

Do you want a fight?

What are you doing here?

Don't make a scene here

Don't you know this is a military area?

What are you doing here?

Let me tell you again

that the man in the car

is our specially appointed official from Chongqing

I have driven away a dozen of

specially appointed officials from Chongqing today

Now everybody claims himself a specially appointed official

Take my advice

Just get out of here

Open your eyes widely and have a look

Don't move

We are here appointed by the Ministry of War

of the Military Commission in Chongqing

This is the special commissioner, General Liang Tong

From now on, General Liang Tong

will be in charge of all docks and shipping affairs

Those who violate the order will be shot on sight

Attention!

Salute!

This officer was shot on the spot

because of his neglect of duty

and binge-drinking

What's on the ship?

Ship? I don't know

I'm just a guard standing here

to stop anyone from getting on board

Let's go and have a look

But officer

we have orders

not to let anyone…

Who gave you the order?

I don't know

Only our boss knows

Your boss?

Your boss is dead

Now I'm your boss

General Liang

I'm going to check the ship

No need, let's go together

You stay here

You two go over there

You, over there

Officer

The team is assembled

You can rest assured

Have a smoke

Look at there

You, go over there

OK

Handle Carefully Silver Ingots

Open the wooden chest

Handle Carefully Silver Ingots

Excuse me

Minister Zeng

I'm afraid our secret

is not a secret anymore

Liang Tong went to the dock

and found the ship loaded with silver ingots

Why did he go to the dock?

In order to repatriate Japanese soldiers and expatriates

he has been appointed to

requisition all military and civilian docks

We should do something about it

Attention!

General Liang and I checked

This ship loaded with silver ingots

is not on the reception list

These traitors!

How dare they hide the state property!

We could use those bastards right now

When we take over

they will be dead

The dock

is requisitioned by the military

But the strangest thing is

the military has no idea

who the leader of this company is

Because this company

was sent on a secret mission

a long time ago

This is my fault

I killed the company commander on the spur of the moment

Then we have no clues to go on

I'll ask somebody

to investigate it

We have blocked the ship

and have it guarded

Only General Liang and I know

that ship is loaded with silver ingots

We have blocked the information

On one hand

we have to take over just in case

We don't have enough men in the Ministry of War

We can only depend on the Loyal and Patriotic Army of BIS

I'll make arrangements right now

I'll leave it to you

See you

OK

Thanks for your work, General Liang

What did Masanobu Tsuji

say on the ship?

He didn't even make it to the cabin

But I'm sure

Masanobu Tsuji doesn't know that the ship is loaded with silver ingots

These silver ingots

were handed over by him

Transfer these

silver ingots immediately

Go

Yes

Ask Yu Shouren

to keep an eye on Liang Tong

Report to me at all times

Yes

To whom we surrender should

depend on Chairman Chiang's order

Guangxi Clique can't ask us for territory

Guangxi Clique even asked Chairman Chiang for territory

Think about it

Troops under the direct control of Chairman Chiang

especially the Chinese Expeditionary Force

are basically in Southwestern China

while Guangxi Clique troops are fighting in the front

Now it's time for the Japanese to surrender

and you want them to stay out of this

How is that acceptable for them?

The Chinese troops just don't follow orders

Aren't they afraid of military punishment from Chairman Chiang?

The law cannot be enforced when everyone is an offender. You know that

He's more concerned about the Communist Party

If the Communist Party takes over the territory

they will not give it back

The only choice is to fight with them

If that happens

he's afraid that international forces will intervene in

Now the Central Committee's army is incapable of

taking over all territories at once

So, he chooses to turn a blind eye to the situation

asking local troops to take over first

It's much better than letting the Communist Party take over

In the future, we can ask them to give the territories back

If they say no, we can force them by law

since they take over the territories illegally

I only know how to make things simple

I'm really not good at

making things more complicated

You just do the simple thing

Tell Yasuji Okamura to do exactly

what Chairman Chiang said

Obey the orders

Of course

Chairman Chiang will not

take over all territories

We can give up some areas to Guangxi Clique

and local forces

They can get some benefits

so they will not feel offended

Chairman Chiang will be OK

as long as the Communist Party doesn't take over the territories

In September 1945, the Central Bank announced that it would exchange the reserve notes at a ratio of 200:1 to legal tender The currency will depreciate 200 times

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Protect our homeland!

Tao Tao Ju Teahouse, Shanghai

Tao Tao Ju Teahouse

Wait for me here

Welcome next time, sir

Miss, please

Sir, please

You're welcome to come again

Upstairs, please

Upstairs, please

One guest, upstairs

Mr. Luo, your guest is here

Come inside, please

Mr. Luo, long time no see

General Liang, long time no see

May I take your order now, Mr. Luo?

Not yet, wait for a moment

OK

I'm sorry I didn't let you know sooner

about Yan'an accepting the Japanese surrender

I guessed it right

Japanese will not fight against the National Government

Accepting the surrender and repatriation are big problems

It's better to let the National Government deal with them

Do you know that

Yasuji Okamura wants to keep 1.2 million Japanese soldiers here

You know about that?

The situation remains tense and turbulent

I didn't have time to report it

I understand

But that's not a very realistic plan

Keeping the Japanese troops here

will bring about tremendous problems

The dramatic change in the situation has triggered a scramble for benefits

Everyone wants to get more

Various local forces are fighting for territories

The Central Committee's army is unable to control the situation

Just like you said

it's not a realistic plan

So, he has to give up

Another news

The Americans have landed at Qingdao

and the Soviet Union now

has a totally different attitude toward us

They have provided us with a lot of secret support

This is how the Soviet Union fight against the United States

Chairman Mao is going to Chongqing for negotiation

which pushes the situation forward

I don't know the guiding thoughts of the Central Committee of the Party

I need a principle to guide my work

The Central Committee of the Party emphasizes that

we should pay more attention to the strategy by focusing on key points

Pan Sanxing asked me to bribe you

What does he want?

We used to do business with him

On the other hand

these traitors

will not miss an opportunity to build relationships

once they know an official from Chongqing is coming

You keep

the money

You need funds

I have to hand them over if I take the money

Then hand them over

Take a closer look

I've already exchanged this paper money (legal tender)

Are they counterfeit money?

Yes

and no

The Soviets

found a Japanese mint in Manchuria

The legal tenders they printed

are exactly the same as the money issued by the National Government

Upon investigation

the Japanese printed 4.5 billion paper money

of which 3 billion has been

put on the market secretly

This is more than double the money (1.48 billion)

issued by the Central Bank of the National Government

in the 26th year of the Republic of China

That means two out of every three legal tenders

are printed by Japanese

I always knew about the counterfeit money

but I didn't expect so much

During the Chinese People's War

of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

these Japanese

have been fighting against us with our money

Unbelievable!

The Soviets didn't leave the mint to us

They just gave us some money

to support our revolution

This box is one of them

I have exchanged the old money that Pan Sanxing intended to bribe you

with some brand-new legal tenders

We are in desperate need of old money

Now legal tender is hard currency in the occupied areas

We need to purchase some supplies

with the money

We need your help

You're in charge of shipping now

The shipping capacity is so limited

and all ships might be requisitioned at any time

You're going to have to issue a special pass for us

to make sure our ship will not be

requisitioned in Shanghai

That's easy

And this batch of supplies

will be transported through our old relationships

Our supplies used to be transported through this channel

There should be no problem

The National Government will keep a close eye on you guys

Be extremely careful

This should be the last time we use this channel

Ministry of War Guesthouse of the National Government

You're making a fortune!

A genuine artwork

Where did you get all these?

Bribery from others

Here is another box

Who is so generous?

You two go outside

Yes

Who?

Pan Sanxing

You're in charge of shipping now

So many people want to bribe you

You have a lot more, I think

These traitors are now giving you money

to save their lives

You must have got a lot

These bastards

We need to use them now

We will settle with them afterward

Any clues about the Silver Ingot Ship Incident?

Not yet

Miss Melanie is coming to Shanghai tonight

Have you got a doctor for her?

All set

Just wait for her

How about tomorrow morning?

OK

Tomorrow morning you will meet

an amazing doctor

So, Miss Melanie's memory loss

can be cured

Hello?

Got it

Minister Chen is coming to Shanghai

Minister Chen is coming to Shanghai?

It seems very important

to take over Shanghai

Yeah

Shanghai captures attention from all over the country now

Minister Chen is coming

I need to do some security work

I gotta go

Tonight

you and Miss Melanie…

General Liang

Is this an official document

issued by General Li Tsung Jen and General Bai Chongxi?

No official document

Just private communication

with Yasuji Okamura

through Zhou Fohai and me

Private communication?

What did Yasuji Okamura say?

Guangxi Clique troops are a powerful force

of the Republic of China

They fought against Japanese troops several times

They and Japanese soldiers hate each other

so we're not in a position to refuse

So, what's your opinion?

Of course not

Only orders from Chairman Chiang

can represent the government of the Republic of China

This is not supposed to change

General Li Tsung Jen

and General Bai Chongxi also know that

That's why they sent General Liu Feiyun

for private communication

to win the Japanese troops' cooperation

Why do you tell me this?

There are a lot of conflicts between the territories

that Guangxi Clique troops want to take over and the territories

that Chairman Chiang orders the Central Committee's army to take over

You're in charge of transportation

and I hope you can make sure

the Central Committee's army arrives at these territories first

In this way

we can give these territories to the troops

appointed by Chairman Chiang

And we will not offend Guangxi Clique troops

I will

take care of that

but before that

I want to learn about

the power of Masanobu Tsuji's fist

I dare not

I mean

hitting your head

with your own fist

I got go

Stop

Do you remember us going to the dock?

Of course

We found a batch of goods

They were supposed to be shipped to Japan

I need you to find out where these goods came from

No need

That's a ship loaded with silver ingots

Prince Chichibu was going to ship them away

How do you know so well?

These silver ingots

were handed over by me

Fall in!

Platoon leader Tang Shubin

Are you Tang Shubin?

Yes

OK

It is hereby notified that

Tang Shubin has been promoted to the

commander of the Special Company

of the National Revolutionary Army

and been granted the Captain

Take it

Why are you still standing here?

Dismiss them

Yes

But…

Am I the company commander now, officer?

Don't you want to be?

Yes. I do

Why is the certificate of appointment different from the old one?

You were traitors before

This is what the certificate of appointment looks like now

Take a closer look

Special military commissioner Zhou Fohai, Chairman Chiang Chung-cheng

Zhou Fohai

Yes

Yes

Yes

Why are you still standing here?

Dismiss the team

Yes

Dismiss

Can I leave now, officer?

Come back

Get about 10 soldiers

you can depend on

and we will perform a secret task

Understand

Why are you so loud?

Secret task

Understand

Peace Hotel, Shanghai

We'll take you to the doctor tomorrow morning

Have a good rest. We gotta go

OK

I really want to see

the city of Shanghai

You have plenty of time

I'll take you out after you see the doctor

OK

I have a feeling

that you'll find your memory here

You lost your memory in Shanghai

Good

Good night

Good night

Good night

Good night

The doctor is here

General Liu Feiyun

General Liang

Where is the doctor?

That's him

Have a seat, please

Liang Tong invites Melanie

to Shanghai

to treat her memory loss

But for some reason

she has a faint feeling of unease

At the same time

Mark, who loves Melanie so much

is trying to find a cure for Melanie

Therefore

Melanie decides to go to the therapy

arranged by Mark first

before seeing a doctor arranged by Zeng Guangxi

Somebody is following us

Somebody is always following me

Let's go

You two have a lot in common

You both are in good health

but your mental states are not so good

You both are depressed to some degree

Guangxi's problem is more serious

You have to take care of yourself

Don't let it become worse

And you have trouble sleeping at night

Pay attention to your liver

Too hot-tempered

Later

I'll prescribe it for you

Take the medicine and take care of yourself

Make sure you have a good rest

Adjust your mindset

Of course

we are in an age of depression

Everybody has his concerns

And everybody

holds the potential for depression

But you can rest assured that

I'll take care of your health

General Liang

you have too much on your mind

Of course

that's what your job requires

Miss Melanie went out early

They found a Belarusian witch

to treat her illness

It is said that the witch is magical

A Belarusian witch?

Yes

A Belarusian woman and she is a witch?

And she can treat amnesia?

Yes

It's said that she can treat many kinds of mental illness

Miss Melanie

saw another doctor

Would you like some more seasoning?

No, I'm good

More seasoning

Have some more if you like it

Welcome next time

Hurry up

Sit down

Welcome

A bowl of wonton, please

I haven't seen the uniform

you're wearing for many years

Wait for a moment

I'll make wonton for you myself

OK, thank you

The wonton I made is very good. Have a try

The soup looks good

How do you like it?

Delicious

The Japanese have surrendered

Those traitors and puppet soldiers have joined the National Army

When will the

real National Army come?

Coming soon

Many have arrived

Do you have vinegar?

Yes

I'll get it for you

Thank you

General Liang, here he comes

Commander of the Special Company of the National Revolutionary Army

Tang Shubin

When did you get promoted to the company commander?

J-Just a few days ago

Sit down

Yes

I'll make a bowl of wonton for this officer

One for me, too

Give me the money now

The money is for the wonton today and what you had before

Go back and report it

Where are the two people we left behind?

I don't know

They left without saying anything

You wait for me right here

Yes

General Liang

went to the dock at dusk

The investigation of the silver ingots will continue

If he keeps looking

I'm sure

I'll get caught

Officer, the room inside

OK, you can go now

You don't have to follow me

Yes

Everyone will be rich over one night

Big fortune, you know?

Think about it

The value of your salary, the legal tender

went up 400 times over one night

Let him investigate

I have been

worried about this recently

I have a bad feeling

You have given the silver ingots to us

There is nothing to worry about

I hope I have no reason to worry

Speak of the devil

Four hundred thousand

How many women can you marry in Shanghai?

Think about it

You're here

Lieutenant colonel Mark

and Miss Melanie are coming tonight

Liu Feiyun makes the atmosphere here

so crazy

It's not the right place to meet them here

I just went to the dock

These silver ingots are gone

Do you know about that?

When?

The next night after you told me

You and Zhao Hengxuan

told me about the silver ingots the other day

I thought it was not safe

to keep these silver ingots in the ship

so I was going to move these silver ingots

to a safer place

the next night

Brothers

Here

It's a secret mission

I'm telling you

that the officer will reward us tonight

It's a mission of the top secret

Be careful

OK, Chief

Officer

Is everyone here?

Yes

They are all brothers we can rely on

Shouren

you stay on the dock

I'll go and check

Yes

You follow me

Zhao Hengxuan went to the dock

only to find the two guards were gone

Officer

you're incredible

I mean, you can get a warship here

Cut the crap

Handle Carefully Silver Ingots

Listen to me

Take these wooden crates

to the warship

and exchange with these wooden crates on the warship

Put them in the exact place

Do you hear me?

To be on the safe side

I decided to move these silver ingots

When the warship got there

and we were ready to move

we found something even more shocking

Less than 24 hours later

silver ingots became rocks

They were moving fast

In order not to alert the enemy

I blocked the news

and have been looking for clues in the dark

I'm wondering who else

besides us

knows about the silver ingots

Only someone who knows about the ship

could have moved the silver ingots

What have you found?

Only the history of this ship

but I don't know where it is going

I have already known where this ship came from

Now we have to figure out where it is going

If we fail to find out

I could be a suspect, too

Many people have known about

the silver ingot ship now

Those who moved the silver ingots away

might have spread the news on purpose

to interfere with our investigation

Since it's an open fact now

we can investigate openly

Who else knows about this?

People from Guangxi Clique know

Liu Feiyun asked me about it just now

Zeng Guangxi has undoubtedly

identified Liang Tong as a suspect

Liang Tong suddenly

found himself in a trap

made just for him

He has to find out these silver ingots

to prove his innocence

However, solving cases is not part of his job description

Liang Tong felt himself

at a disadvantage

Liang Tong tells himself

that he has to be determined

and stay close to the Party as well

Aren't you going over there?

No need

We can wait here today

In fact

when Melanie met Liang Tong for the first time

her memory

started to come back

especially when Liang Tong mentioned Emi Nakayama

London

Calcutta

Chongqing and Shanghai

Melanie seems to be

on the track to come back all the way

After arriving in Shanghai

her lost memory

keeps coming back to her

The Belarusian woman

just appeared at the right time
