545 The old business
The small circle of islands has now become a veritable forbidden area. The island has two bullet production lines and a gun maintenance workshop. This maintenance workshop actually has the ability to produce guns. If necessary, the parts required to repair guns can be produced on site at any time.
Regarding the making of bullets, people often use this to criticize the Third Brother on the Internet in the 21st Century. In fact, the Third Brother is not that bad. People can make bullets. In history, the Dam bullets were produced in the Third Brother's arsenal.
The problem with the third brother is not in his manufacturing ability, but in the work attitude of the workers. With the innocent and romantic personality of the third brother's workers, the British asked them to produce dam bombs to be considered the right medicine.
All the workers on the small circle of islands were sent from Springfield, and there was no problem with their abilities, so don't underestimate this mere small circle of islands, and their industrial capabilities are even stronger than those of Japan.
It is impossible for a factory to be full of engineers, and it also requires a certain number of general workers, labourers, logistics personnel, etc. There is no need to send these people from Springfield, but recruit them on the spot from Putian.
Of course, this recruitment also has political review. If it weren't for "heroic roots" and would not even be qualified to be recruited, Pan Zhuzi would have been the kind of person who was not qualified before.
The "roots and righteousness" here does not only mean that they have Chinese ancestry, but also that they must be trusted in all aspects. For example, Pan Zhuzi, who makes a living by fishing and often comes into contact with outsiders, does not meet the standards.
After confirming the result, Pan Tingzhen returned to Putian with satisfaction, but Bai Qi's work was not finished yet. Since Pan Zhuzi was bought by a man named Qiushan, Bai Qi would have to get rid of the roots and could not let Qiushan get away with the disaster.
Soon, Akiyama's information was investigated.
This Akiyama is indeed a Ryukyu, but he is a Japanese. He returned to Ryukyu from Japan 20 years ago with his father and then ran a fish shop in Shuri.
Qiushan has a vast relationship because of his generous work, and the financial resources he has shown are not supported by a fish shop. Bai Qi briefly read Qiushan's information and immediately concluded that this person had a problem.
In fact, there are more than Akiyama in the Ryukyu people in Shuri City. The Japanese have been planning for Ryukyu for a long time. Over the years, I don’t know how many spies I have installed in Ryukyu. Even Pan Tingzhen couldn’t tell whether there were any other people in Putian who were bribed.
"It seems we have to go to Shuli to take a walk." Bai Qi decided to take action in person to go to Shuli to eradicate this hidden danger.
Although Bai Qi is Chinese, he has American nationality, so it is natural that it is not a problem to go to Shuri. So early the next morning, Bai Qi took Hunter and more than a dozen other white gunmen to Shuri in a big way.
Although Shuri is the capital of Ryukyu, from the outside, it does not look like a capital. Although Shuri has a city wall around, the city wall is less than two meters high. Hunter stood under the city wall and even raised his hand to touch the chassis, which made Bai Qi very upset.
When men are together, they often chat and fuck. Bai Qi has described the majesty of the Eastern cities to Hunter before, especially the super-large cities like the capital of the Qing Empire with a complete defensive structure. This is the pride of the Chinese in Bai Qi's mouth.
As a result, seeing such a low Shuri city wall now makes Bai Qi feel faceless. Although the Ryukyu people have nothing to do with the Chinese, losing the face of the Oriental people is enough to make Bai Qi very angry.
That’s right, the Chinese were so lenient at this time. This is the so-called mentality of a great power, and it has surpassed the so-called national borders and races.
When he entered Shuri Castle, Bai Qi's face looked even more ugly.
There was almost no plan for cities in the 19th century, especially small countries like Shuri. Except for the main roads in the city, the rest of the other parts were wild, so you can imagine how harsh the conditions in all aspects were. The streets were narrow, sewage flowed everywhere, and the stench was everywhere. This time, not only Bai Qi, but even Hunter and the others felt that they could not get on the table.
"What do we want this kind of city to do?" Hunter was very puzzled.
Although Li Mu did not want to be the king of Ryukyu, there was no need to explain it so clearly to everyone. For example, Hunter did not know the real purpose of their arrival in Ryukyu.
"If you don't like it, you can burn it all and then rebuild it as you think." Bai Qi was even more casual. Anyway, most of the city is Ryukyu people, and the rest are Japanese. Whether they die or live, it has nothing to do with Bai Qi.
"This is a good idea." Hunter actually agreed. It seemed that this person's mind was not very good.
Although this is Bai Qi's first time to come to Shuri, Pan Tingzhen has already set up a place for Bai Qi to settle in Shuri City, so Bai Qi doesn't have to worry about having nowhere to go.
Coincidentally, the site is diagonally opposite the Qiushan Fish Shop, which saves Bai Qi from worrying about the surveillance point.
"Stay it to me. Remember that everyone who enters and leaves the Qiushan Fish Shop, especially this Qiushan, remember clearly who he has contacted, and it is best to figure out what they have said." Bai Qi had high requirements, which was the rhythm of opening up the posture and trying to catch them all in one go.
"Don't worry, I'll never miss one." Hunter had received this training before, so he looked full of confidence.
In fact, when it comes to surveillance, Bai Qi and the others are all familiar with it.
Bai Qi used to be a scout in the army. The scout was actually the predecessor of the special forces in later generations. They knew a lot of things, and they could even be called complicated. Surveillance was the most technical job.
The place Pan Tingzhen found for Bai Qi is quite good. In the past, it was probably also aquatic products. It was two floors upstairs and downstairs, and people were living upstairs to do business downstairs. Of course, the door is closed now, and Bai Qi and the others all came in through the back door.
After assigning Hunter the task, Bai Qi seized the time to take a nap.
It is not easy for Bai Qi to talk about it during this period of time when coming to Ryukyu. On the one hand, we need to arrange training from Putian, on the other hand, we need to protect the safety of the small circle of islands, and we need to be careful of Japan. To be honest, it is not too long to let Bai Qi take a nap easily.
When he woke up, it was already dusk. Seeing Hunter's surveillance record, Bai Qi suddenly felt his head wide.
"In just one afternoon, 40 people entered Qiushan Fish Shop. Did you remember it wrong?" Bai Qi was a little dissatisfied.
In fact, most people these days are still accustomed to the two-meal system. It’s not that they don’t want to eat three meals a day, but that they can’t afford it at all. There is not so much food for them to consume, so they can only eat two meals a day.
There are no refrigerators these days, so the aquatic products are sold fresh. The fish shop will not be open for too long. Generally, it is concentrated in the morning and the afternoon should be the rest time.
For a fish shop, even when it is open, there are only a few dozen customers in one morning. It seems that the business of Qiushan Fish shop is indeed beyond Bai Qi's expectations.
"That's right, there are so many people, and each of them has been warmly treated by the boss. They seem to be regular customers. Several of them were invited to the upper floor for tea. I have marked these people with key marks." Hunter's work attitude is quite responsible, and there are several people on the record with key bold lines under the name, which is very conspicuous.
Hunter alone can't do this. At least Hunter definitely doesn't know what the people who were invited upstairs to have tea by Qiushan, thanks to Pan Tingzhen's eyeliner.
"Have you sent someone to follow?" Bai Qi tried his best to focus on his work.
"I've sent it, but we have limited manpower." Hunter looked helpless.
"Limited manpower?" Bai Qi was furious.
If you find other reasons, Bai Qi might turn a blind eye, but Bai Qi really couldn't stand it when talking about this "limited manpower".
Just under Bai Qi's nose, on the second floor, there are more than a dozen gunmen sitting on the stand. A few are busy exercising, a few are playing cards with notes on their faces, and a few are actually sleeping. Can this be considered as insufficient staff?
"Sir, you can't see this way, we can't follow us..." Hunter's grievance was particularly entangled when he reflected his expression.
Looking at Hunter's figure of over 1.9 meters, Bai Qi immediately realized.
The Ryukyu people have similar figures to those of Southeast Asians. They are black, small and thin. It is definitely not suitable to describe them as thin as firewood. However, it is rare to find a fat white man in a hundred people. In this case, Hunter and the others are indeed not suitable to follow them. They are probably watched as soon as they go out. Just like when the Chinese people were onlookers when the reform and opening up in the 1980s, their enthusiasm is similar to seeing gorillas in cages in the zoo.
"Forget it, withdraw all the people, let's take action directly tonight, and how much can we find out." Bai Qi decided not to play spy war anymore. The group of goods under his command really couldn't make it. Since the literary ones were not good, we should do it. It would be more reliable to be the old ones back.
It was not quiet at night. Until 10 o'clock in the evening, the second floor of Qiushan Fish Shop was still brightly lit, and the scent of wine could be smelled through the windows, which made Bai Qi and Hunter, who were separated by a street, gritted their teeth.
"Drink, let's drink enough later." Hunter prepared enough chili noodles, which is what he would need to use during the interrogation later.
Interrogation is also divided into levels. For example, people like Pan Zhuzi cannot determine their enemies and friends, they generally do not use too intense means before reaching conclusions.
There is no need to worry about dealing with people like Qiushan. Nowadays, Qiushan is a disposable consumable in Bai Qi and Hunter. As long as the most valuable information can be obtained in the shortest time, even if Qiushan is made into sashimi, Bai Qi and Hunter can do it.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the banquet for the Akiyama Fish Shop finally ended, and Qiuyama went downstairs to see the guests away one by one.
Watching the last guest leave, Akiyama was about to enter the door, but felt a pain in the back of his head, and then his eyes were pitch black.
After Youyou woke up, Qiushan found that he seemed to be hanging from a shelf, with a huge brazier in front of him, and a red-burning soldering iron in the brazier. There were axes, saws, and large knives of various sizes on the table. Combined with the dim lights in the room, it gave people a feeling of gloomy and terrifying.
In addition to the various "murder weapons" in the room, there are also several bald men holding their arms, which makes Qiushan feel even more dangerous.
These bald men are all white. They are burly and have developed muscles, especially the chest hair on their chests, which can be described as lush.
The leader must be over 1.9 meters tall, and his whole body was covered with various tattoos. This guy was shirtless and maliciously patrolling the body of Qiushan with his eyes. Qiushan suddenly felt a chill under his crotch.
This is not an illusion. It was not until now that Akiyama discovered that he was actually stripped cleanly and tied to a wooden stand in an extremely shameful posture.
Akiyama is actually very familiar with this posture, and Akiyama still remembers the benefits of this posture.
Well, the benefits of this posture are understood by a man, so Akiyama is very frightened now, as if something bad is about to happen to him.
"First of all, Mr. Akiyama, my name is Hunter. You don't need to know where I came from. You just need to know the purpose of me... Now I'll ask you, and you answer. If you answer wrong, then I will stuff this thing into your butt with my own hands..." Hunter's words were simple and crude, and Akiyama realized that Hunter was actually holding a loach in his hand.
It's so damn...
Qiushan can almost confirm immediately that this loach is produced by his Qiushan Fish Shop.
It just so happens that because I run this kind of thing, Akiyama knows the characteristics of loaches. What this thing is best at is digging holes, and it is also stubborn. As long as there is a hole, I will persevere in drilling it.
Recalling Hunter's words just now, Akiyama immediately clamped his butt.
But it is obvious that not only is it useless to hold it, so Akiyama answered very quickly: "You ask, I promise to tell you the truth and never dare to hide it at all."
"It doesn't matter, even if you don't tell the truth, it doesn't matter. I don't care. And it seems that this loach also hopes you will tell lies." Hunter raised the loach in his hand maliciously and shook it in front of Qiushan.
Akiyama shouted again in horror: "Please ask, I promise to tell the truth."
"Very good, so can you explain why you instructed Pan Zhuzi to go to the small circle of islands?" The foreplay was already very sufficient, and Hunter immediately got to the point.
"Pan Zhuzi...I...I don't know him..." Qiushan's first sentence was wrong.
"Don't you recognize it? Very good." Hunter handed the loach in his hand to a burly man beside him, and then began to flip through the soldering iron in the brazier, without even looking at Akiyama.
When I felt the slippery loach gradually approaching my chrysanthemum, Qiushan finally collapsed and shouted: "I've called it, I've called it, it was Mr. Wu Nan who asked me to do it..."
Wu Nan, a first-class military officer at the Japanese Embassy in Ryukyu.
This matter seems to be getting more and more interesting.
