After Lu Ming left, Sheng Youde fell into silence. For a long time, he suddenly let out a wry smile.
Of course he knew the origin of this batch of arms and the direction in which it would eventually flow, but he still couldn't resist Lu Ming's pleas and used his own connections to let the cargo go.
Almost half of the Central Army's military expenditures were financed through Shanghai financial channels, and Sheng Youde was the fundraiser.
The Nationalist Government has made it clear that the main purpose of weapons and equipment is to resist foreign aggression. Japan has sharpened its weapons and weapons, and we must always be prepared.
In fact, the Central Army is in a fierce battle with the Red Army, and it is obvious where the weapons and equipment are used.
However, Sheng Youde had just sent a cargo ship full of weapons and ammunition to the Red Army. Although Lu Ming came to plead for mercy, he wondered why he didn't resist at all.
What are you doing?
He couldn't help but sigh and chanted: "The beetroots are burning under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They are born from the same root. Why fry each other in such a hurry?"
He knew the whereabouts of these arms, wouldn't Wen Bai know? Of course they knew, it was just a tacit understanding between them.
For a person like General Wenbai to apply for documents and release without any hesitation, this shows that he is not alone and has companions who sympathize with each other.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
Lu Ming returned to Wanguo Apartment and told Ning Xiner and Mingzhu about the results of the day. Both girls cried with joy. They did not expect that Lu Ming could really find a way to resolve such a big crisis.
"Thank you, Lu Ming." Yuan Mingzhu said.
"Why are you thanking me? We are all one family." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Lu Ming, I won't say thank you anymore. I'm not qualified to say thank you." Ning Xiner said.
Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood what she meant.
There are some things that you cannot say thank you for, saying thank you would be a kind of blasphemy. However, he did not think it was so serious, and he was very happy to do something for the Cao Gang, especially when it involved thousands of lives of the Cao Gang brothers.
Even if it wasn't because of the favor he owed to Caobang, even if it was for thousands of lives, he would do it without hesitation.
Ning Xiner did not leave the apartment door these days, and Yuan Mingzhu stayed with her every step of the way.
Lu Ming would carefully observe the situation around the apartment every time he came in and out, and found no suspicious traces. It is estimated that the customs anti-smuggling team did not want to arrest Ning Xiner, and the main force was focused on apprehending Ning Zetao.
Despite this, Lu Ming did not dare to take risks and asked Ning Xiner not to go out until the formalities were completed before showing up.
Lu Ming still ordered food and drinks for the two of them outside every day and then had them delivered inside.
Although Wanguo Apartment is not a concession of a certain country, it can be regarded as a joint concession of many countries. Neither the customs anti-smuggling team nor the police station can enter without authorization to arrest people.
If they want to enter the apartment to enforce the law, they must first obtain the unanimous consent of the apartment management, which is almost impossible.
The next morning, Lu Ming received a call from Sheng Youde, asking him to go to the gate of Shanghai Security Headquarters to receive documents.
"So fast? That's great!" Lu Ming couldn't believe it.
"Well, Mr. Wenbai sent someone to deliver it by car overnight, but I still have to tell you to stand on the shore, be careful about drying your shoes and socks, and never be pulled into the water." Sheng Youde told you again.
"Okay, don't worry." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he hurried downstairs.
He drove all the way to the Shanghai Security Headquarters. Outside the building, he saw a familiar figure waiting there. It turned out to be Huang Yanning.
Huang Yanning was shocked when he saw Lu Ming walking over with a smile, and asked, "Why are you here to get the documents? Are you also involved in this matter?"
"What's the role? I was just sent as a messenger and an errand. I don't know anything." Lu Ming pretended to be confused.
"It's okay not to know, but you must not know. Don't look at the documents when you go back." Huang Yanning shook the document bag in his hand.
He handed a sealed document to Lu Ming and said with a smile: "Lu Ming, have you read "Journey to the West", right?"
"Of course I have, I have read it since I was a child." Lu Ming was a little confused.
"Look, Monk Tang encountered so many demons and monsters on his way to seek scriptures. However, no matter what the great gods with strength and background did, they were all safe and sound in the end. They were still living freely in heaven, but those little demons were all beaten up.
He died without even leaving a name." Huang Yanning said with a bitter smile.
"Well, I know what Adjutant Huang means. I still have a long road ahead. Do I have to endure it?" Lu Ming still didn't understand.
"Well, Brother Lu Ming has the ability and background, and he will definitely be a great master in Shanghai in the future. But you are not now, you are still at the level of a little demon, so you have to be very careful about many things. Of course, I also made it based on my feelings.
, I'm a little overly concerned. Brother Lu Ming has a backer like President Sheng. Even though he is not a great god, he is still a small god. Even if the sky falls, there will be people to help you hold it up. People like me are little demons." Huang Yanning said with emotion.
.
"Well, I understand Adjutant Huang's good intentions, please be careful when sailing." Lu Ming cupped his hand.
"For great gods like General Zhang and President Sheng, even if the sky falls, it's just a storm that lasts one night and they can be avoided. But if it falls on a little monster like me, it will be a disaster."
"Adjutant Huang, you don't have to be so emotional. You are the commander-in-chief's student and the emperor's disciple. You are extremely valuable." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"There are many disciples of the emperor, and there are also many who are enemies of each other, not to mention the noble ones. Well, I won't delay your business." Huang Yanning waved goodbye.
Lu Ming drove away, and Huang Yanning walked back into the security headquarters building and came to the commander's office.
"Have the documents been handed over to the person who came?" asked the garrison commander.
"Hand it over, Commander, why do you think General Zhang would take care of this matter?" Huang Yanning was a little confused.
"What is it? I don't know anything. You don't know anything either. Do you know anything?" the commander pretended to be confused.
"Yeah, nothing happened, nothing happened. I was really confused in my dream." Huang Yanning smiled and walked out.
It was only when Lu Ming was driving that he wanted to understand that General Wenbai could have sent someone to deliver the documents directly to Liuyuan Sheng Youde, so why bother and let the Shanghai Security Command forward it?
After listening to Huang Yanning's words, he understood a little bit. General Wenbai used the Shanghai Garrison Command as a buffer. If there was any big trouble in the future, the Shanghai Garrison Command could serve as a buffer.
No wonder Huang Yanning lamented for a long time. The cattle thief ran away and caught the stake puller. Substituting things often happened in official circles. He was afraid of being a scapegoat in the future.
These big shots are all cunning and cunning. They don't have a fuel-saving lamp, and they themselves are still too young.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After returning to the apartment, Lu Ming went directly to Peter's room and showed him the documents he had just received.
"Mr. Peter, please help me see if with these two documents, I can go to the customs to pick up the detained goods." Lu Ming said.
He intuitively felt that Peter would not harm him, but he had to make sure that these two documents could be passed smoothly, otherwise too many people would be killed if he made a big mistake.
Peter opened the sealed document and read it carefully.
The certification documents make it clear that this batch of arms was sold to the Nanjing National Government by the German Krupp Company after being reviewed and approved by the German Ministry of Defense.
In other words, this document is both a certification document and a formal acceptance document.
