Lu Ming drove to the restaurant and met Qian Tian.
After the two sat down, they still ordered the same food and drinks as last time, and then closed the door.
Qiantian said apologetically: "I have used a lot of connections, but the quantity of goods you want is too large, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get it."
"If it's less, how much can we get?" Lu Ming asked.
"There are only dozens of guns, and we can get some medicines, but the anesthetics only amount to ten shots in a box." Kenta said with a wry smile.
Lu Ming shook his head. He knew that Qiantian had tried his best, even though the amount made him unwilling to accept it.
"But I do have an idea. I can get more arms and medicines. It depends on how brave you are." Qiantian smiled again.
"What's your idea? Tell me about it." Lu Ming became more energetic when he heard that there was a door.
"Didn't we send many warships from mainland China last time we attacked Shanghai? The arms and medicines equipped on the warships were not brought back and were left with the Marine Corps. These arms and medicines are now piled in a warehouse on the outskirts of Shanghai.
"Qian Tian said mysteriously.
"Ah, you don't want me to rob the arsenal, do you?" Lu Ming said dumbly.
"That's exactly what I mean. However, because this arsenal is secret and few people within us know about it, there are not many people guarding it. There is only one small team. I went to check it out yesterday. There were only twelve people guarding it.
personal."
Qiantian made a crawling posture, which meant he could make a sneak attack.
"How many people are there to guard the arsenal? This is not the usual style of the Japanese army." Lu Ming couldn't believe it.
"That's right, there are just these people, a commander, a corps commander, and ten soldiers." Qiantian said with a smile.
"Isn't this a deliberately set trap? Can you please enter the trap?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
According to what Kenta said, if it was the arms and medicine left behind by the Japanese army that originally attacked Shanghai, it must have been in large quantities, and there would be hundreds of people guarding the warehouse.
"We learned this from you Chinese. This is called the empty city strategy. Because there are not many people guarding it, most people will think that there won't be anything good inside. Also, don't underestimate this place. There is an alarm bell that leads directly to the navy.
If someone attacks the Marine Corps headquarters, the Marines can arrive in an hour," said Kenta.
"Kenta-kun, are you sure that there are only twelve people guarding the arsenal?" Lu Ming asked.
This matter was so important that Lu Ming did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Don't worry, I pretended to be passing by yesterday and asked for water from them. They saw my ID and let me in. They were also very respectful to me. I chatted with them for a while. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the situation.
"Qian Tian smiled.
"That's great. Thank you, Kenda-kun!"
Lu Ming was really grateful to Qian Tian, who actually went to observe the situation in person. This was something only a conscientious friend could do.
"This... I want to tell you, can you numb those soldiers and not kill them? I chatted with them for a while. They are all children from poor families. It is not easy to cross the sea."
Kenta said a little embarrassed.
"I'll try my best. I don't want to have a gunfight. I'll stay if I can save their lives. But we have to take them away first. They already know you. We want to ensure your safety." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
"You can treat them as prisoners. Don't you treat prisoners preferentially? Just don't take their lives." Qiantian said.
Lu Ming nodded and agreed to Qiantian's request.
"You only have one night, and you can't do anything during the day. A truck will deliver meals to them every noon and evening. Because it is an arsenal, no fire is allowed for cooking inside, so someone will deliver it to them every day." Qian Tian inquired carefully.
.
"After the truck delivering dinner leaves, we can start." Lu Ming counted on his fingers and realized that time was a bit tight. If we add more manpower and move faster, we can still make it in time.
"Your operation must be completed before dawn. It is best to transport all the arms out of Shanghai directly. Once our people find out that the arsenal has been robbed, they will definitely block all exits in Shanghai as soon as possible." Qian Tian said.
"Don't worry, we will try to transport the goods out of Shanghai before early morning." Lu Ming said with increased confidence.
"Be sure to remember, it's just for one night. Don't be greedy for more. Take as much as you can." Kenta warned.
"Don't worry, I will empty out the arsenal and not a single hair will be left behind." Lu Ming laughed.
"Do you have that many people? There's a lot of goods." Qiantian asked doubtfully.
"I can pay to hire them. There are as many people as I want in Shanghai who hate Japan." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"You're talking about those Koreans, they really hate Japan." Kenta understood.
There are tens of thousands of North Koreans living in Shanghai. If these people are mobilized, no matter how large the arsenal is, they can be moved from top to bottom in one night.
"Be careful, those Koreans have our eyes and ears, and they will spoil your big deal." Qiantian said cautiously.
"Of course I have to find someone I trust to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Among the Koreans living in Shanghai, there are not only Japanese informants, but also many. Lu Ming is familiar with this situation, and An Gonggen is well aware of it.
Ordinarily, all Koreans should hate the Japanese to the core, but there are also many people who covet the money given by the Japanese and become Japanese spies.
An Gonggen and the others secretly eliminated some spies, but they were still not completely eradicated.
Fortunately, these people have almost all been investigated and completely excluded, and the harm they can cause is not great.
After Lu Ming and Qian Tian broke up, he immediately contacted An Gonggen and asked him to rush to the teahouse where he had been to meet immediately.
An Gonggen knew that there must be an urgent mission, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately drove away.
The two met in a teahouse. Lu Ming went straight to the topic and said with a smile: "Are you interested in doing a big job with me?"
"What big job? There are no senior Japanese officials in Shanghai now." An Gonggen asked doubtfully.
"I want to take away the Japanese arsenal, shall I?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
An Gonggen was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lu, of course I am willing to do such a thing, but I'm afraid we can't do it with our own strength. Besides, if we really do it like this, it won't trigger a war between China and Japan, right?"
"I'm not talking about the arsenal in the Japanese Marine Corps barracks, but a secret warehouse of theirs that needs a big move." Lu Ming explained the situation of the matter.
"It's true or not, it can't be a trap, right? The Japanese are cunning and cunning, otherwise why would you call them ghosts? They are ghosts." An Gonggen was also dubious.
"The conclusion drawn by a very reliable friend of mine after personal inspection is correct. However, we have to conduct reconnaissance for two more days to confirm again. We will go to Mr. Jin Jiu to discuss this matter now." Lu
Ming said.
When An Gonggen heard that he was going to see His Excellency Jin Jiu, he was very happy and immediately drove Lu Ming on the road.
Lu Ming went back to Wanguo Apartment first and went downstairs five minutes later. He went back and took out a 20,000 yuan banknote from the safe.
Along the way, the two of them carefully considered the action plan, and both felt that this was a big job worth doing. Although it was difficult, they were very sure of success.
Arriving in Jiaxing, the two soon met Jin Jiu.
The two days of extensive Japanese search had passed. Jin Jiu returned to the shore and hurriedly greeted Lu Ming when he saw him approaching.
"Brother Lu, long time no see." Jin Jiu was full of energy and in good spirits.
"Yes, I came here specifically to see you today. How are you? Are you getting used to staying here?" Lu Ming asked.
"With your friends taking care of me, everything is fine and comfortable. I have wine to drink and meat to eat every day. It can be considered the life of a god." Jin Jiu said with a smile.
After the two entered the house, Lu Ming revealed his plan.
"How about it? If you are willing to cooperate, I can get you 20,000 silver dollars as a reward." Lu Ming directly made an offer.
"It doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as it's to deal with the Japanese devils, you don't need to give me any money, or you can even ask me to pay you back." Jin Jiu said cheerfully.
"That's not possible. The remuneration that should be paid must still be given, and it must be paid in large amounts. I know that North Korean comrades are working very hard." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Lu Ming took out a 20,000 silver dollar banknote and handed it to Jin Jiu.
This payment requires Jin Jiu to mobilize all the reliable expatriates in Shanghai to help transport the goods. In addition, Jin Jiu will announce to the outside world afterwards that this operation is a retaliatory action against Japan led by the Korean Patriot League. In this way, Lu Ming and the Republic of China
The government will not be implicated.
"What are you going to do with the weapons?" Jin Jiu asked.
"You can keep some useful weapons, and I have special uses for the others," Lu Ming said.
"We don't need much. We need some short guns, explosives, and grenades." Jin Jiu was not polite. They did need to replenish some weapons and ammunition.
"Keep whatever you need to deal with the Japanese in the future." Lu Ming said cheerfully.
"What to do with the remaining weapons and ammunition?" Jin Jiu asked.
"All other weapons must be loaded on the ship before dawn. The Republic of China government's army does not have enough weapons and ammunition. This opportunity is rare."
Lu Ming skillfully prevaricated and supported the Chinese Communist Party's weapons and ammunition. This matter could not be discussed with anyone, including Jin Jiu and An Gonggen.
Of course, there is no need for North Korean comrades to know about China's internal affairs. Uniting to resist Japan is our common goal.
