"What do you mean? I'm not here to ask for help!" Mingtai looked at the two yellow croakers in his hands and said with a cold face.
"When our people carried out the last operation, they left behind the illusion of robbery. They took away the four yellow croakers from the quartermaster and gave you two as a reward! You are not a beggar, and I am not a benefactor.
Just share what you get with each other.”
Hearing this, Mingtai finally turned his face and said word by word: "This is not what I want!"
Uncle Li smiled and said, "If someone of yours is in trouble in the future, we will also help!"
"I really don't know if you are really stupid, or if you are just pretending to be confused with me. What I need is the information you got from that quartermaster! Of course, it's not impossible to buy it!" After saying that, Mingtai handed over the information.
Two yellow croakers were pushed in front of Uncle Li.
"I advise you to put it away! Don't destroy the good impression you have in my mind." Uncle Li flatly refused, "As for the information, I will never sell it to you!"
"I think you should know that this information is very important to both our country and the Red Party. Even though we have different ideals and beliefs, we belong to the same camp. Are the slogans of your Red Party to unite and resist Japan together, just use
Are you here to shout casually on weekdays?"
"You!" Although Uncle Li couldn't help but get angry after hearing Mingtai's unceremonious question, he still suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "What on earth do you want to say?
"
"How about following the example above and cooperating with Guohong again?"
"National red cooperation? It seems that you know our policies and slogans quite well!"
"To be honest, when I was studying in France, I had contact with your party. If it weren't for...forget it, let's not mention the past! Let's get back to the topic, whether we want to cooperate or not, please give me a happy word.
"
"This... I can consider it, but I still can't just hand over the information to you, unless..."
"Unless what? Do you know how much risk I am taking by sitting here talking to you? Even within the Kuomintang, if the military commander and the central commander have private dealings, they will be subject to severe disciplinary action, not to mention that I am still
Sitting together with a red party member, you still want to negotiate terms with me?"
Uncle Li shook his head without thinking, "No, I am not negotiating terms with you, but I want to see your sincerity. After all, we have suffered too many losses at your hands, and we are afraid of losing!"
"It seems that Uncle Li is quite prejudiced against our party! Then why do you ask us for help when you are in trouble?"
Uncle Li did not hide anything and blurted out directly: "It's very simple. First, you and our people have cooperated on the Sakura, and you have good skills and judgment; second, through further contact, I still appreciate it.
Your character, behavior and behavior."
Mingtai smiled and asked, "Does further contact refer to Miss Keiko?"
"It seems I have to add one more thing to my evaluation of you."
Although Uncle Li's answers were somewhat off-topic, it was equivalent to acquiescence.
"Why, you want to instigate me? If so, I advise you not to waste your efforts. My faith is not that firm! I will never get on your ship!"
"Really? Then can you tell me what your beliefs are?"
"Needless to say, we will naturally resist Japan and drive away the invaders!"
Unexpectedly, Uncle Li nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Not bad faith. But there are some things you should not say too early. Maybe this is the beginning."
"Okay, okay, I'm not in the mood to listen to your lectures now!"
"Do you think I'm preaching?" Uncle Li said lightly.
"Even if it's not, it's still an attempt to rebel against me, so I don't want to continue this topic any further."
"It seems that you don't believe what I said."
“I don’t trust anyone at work!”
"On the Sakura train, if Mr. Dong didn't trust you, would he help you plant explosives? If you didn't trust Miss Keiko, would you help her obtain information and escape from the train? If the three of you didn't trust each other, then
How could this operation be successful? Young man, if you don’t trust anyone in our line of work, you would have died long ago!”
Although Uncle Li's words were almost completely opposite to what his teacher Wang Tianfeng had warned him before leaving, Mingtai could not find any reason to refute him for a while, so he could only choose to remain silent.
After a long time, he spoke again: "Tell me your conditions!"
"I want you to help me find the specific location of Munitions Depot No. 5."
"Arms depot No. 5?" As soon as these words came out, Mingtai was stunned, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
You must know that this No. 5 Munitions Depot is a temporary warehouse used by the Japanese and puppet troops to store wartime military supplies, and Mingtai's goal from the beginning was to blow it up!
Isn't this a coincidence?
However, how did he know that there are not so many coincidences in this world, but only clever layouts made after precise calculations!
Thinking of this, Mingtai unconsciously showed an imperceptible smile and said happily: "Deal! Give me three days!"
"Two days, I can only wait for you for two days at most."
"Okay! Just two days! But I also have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"I do not want Miss Keiko to participate in this operation."
"Are you worried about her or that she is in danger?"
"No!" Mingtai shook his head, "I'm afraid that she will hold me back and ultimately lead to the failure of the mission!"
"you!"
Just as Uncle Li was about to say something, Mingtai, who felt he had regained a victory, stood up, said "goodbye" and left without looking back...
At the same time that Mingtai and Uncle Li met privately in the park, the eldest son of the Ming family, Sun Mingtang, had already entered the gate of the Ming Mansion carrying a large box of "Mingjiaxiang" perfume gift boxes.
When Ming Jing, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, saw the visitor, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Sister, happy New Year!"
"Brother, I originally wanted to take Minglou, Mingtai and Aqiang over the past two days to pay my eldest brother and sister-in-law New Year greetings. But they have been busy these days, so I asked you to condescend to me first. How can you be so embarrassed?
Woolen cloth?"
Mingtang smiled and said, "We are all from the same family. We don't speak the same language. Your sister-in-law was originally going to come, but she was dragged away by several poker friends early this morning. She asked me to bring you a good friend.
.Is Minglou here?"
"In the study." Ming Jing nodded and replied.
Mingtang puffed up: "I have something to do with him."
"Hey, you don't look good." Mingjing saw Mingtang's gloomy expression and asked, "Did something happen?"
Mingtang showed a slightly angry look on his face: "He didn't do anything, but I...Hey! It's useless for me to tell you, I'll talk to him." After saying that, he walked straight to the study...
