In the warehouse, Mingtai used the dim light to stare at the two dozen large wooden boxes in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, his face terrifyingly gloomy.
Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli glanced at each other subconsciously, their faces filled with guilt and uneasiness.
"Adjutant Guo, why don't you speak?"
"The matter has come to this, I have nothing to say."
"I have nothing to say. What's in it?"
"Team leader, you already know, so why bother asking again?"
"I know, I know, you say it, you say it, these are two different things!" Mingtai deliberately imitated the tone that Li Qiang used to lecture him before.
Needless to say, these words really worked. Guo Qiyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then replied with a low eyebrow: "It's... strategic materials."
"Open."
"Team leader..." Guo Qiyun's tone finally softened, and there was a trace of prayer in his words.
However, Mingtai didn't care about that and shouted sternly: "I asked you to open it!"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Qiyun suddenly stood up and refused: "I'm sorry, team leader. The "ferry" order was issued directly from Chongqing No. 5 with special approval from Station Commander Chen, and when necessary,
I have special powers!"
"Why, are you using the Fifth Division to suppress me?" Mingtai chuckled, "Even if the Director of the Fifth Division, Shen Zui, comes in person, I won't show any mercy to him. I will definitely call him a bloody idiot. Believe it or not.
?”
"Mingtai! Do you know what you are talking about? Have you ever said that about your instructor?"
"Instructor?" It was okay that Mingtai didn't listen. After hearing Guo Qiyun's words, he immediately became angry, "He deserves it too!"
As he spoke, Mingtai suddenly leaned over and picked up a slender steel drill from the ground, and violently pried open a cargo box. Yu Manli wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"Come on! Open your eyes and take a good look! Is this what you call strategic materials?" Mingtai kicked open the lid of the cargo box and roared angrily.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Mingtai continued to pry one by one... Soon, the cigarettes, foreign wine, luxury watches, cosmetics and other high-end products in the cargo box were exposed to the air one by one, and each item
On the outer packaging, there is a batch number 76 and a customs clearance mark.
Guo Qiyun had no choice but to shout quickly, "Team leader! Please stop prying, I'm begging you!"
Before he finished speaking, Mingtai punched Guo Qiyun hard, knocking him to the ground. Then, before he could get up, Mingtai pounced on him and pressed him against the cargo box, shouting angrily.
Said: "Guo Qiyun! How many brothers sacrificed their lives for this transportation line! But you use it to enrich the country! How many heads do you have? Tell me! How much benefit did you receive?"
Only then did Guo Qiyun understand why Mingtai was so angry, so he quickly explained: "Team leader, I... I am a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to obey orders. I am really here to serve.
The person who came to carry out the task did not gain any national wealth!"
"Team leader!" Yu Manli suddenly fell to her knees with a plop and explained desperately, "Adjutant Guo told the truth. It's me. I didn't tell you the truth. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid you'll offend Shangfeng! I don't want to..." Yu Manli said almost in a tearful voice. Before she could finish her words, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Team leader..." Guo Qiyun was pressed against the wooden box and couldn't move, but he still struggled and said, "Please believe me, this is really not my personal behavior, I am... I have a heart for preservation,
I can’t bear to see you follow in the footsteps of the ‘Venomous Bee’, openly disobeying military orders, and then being betrayed, demoted and punished, and finally dying without a burial place!”
"Wait a minute!" Mingtai keenly grasped the meaning of Guo Qiyun's words and asked, "You mean, Teacher, he was betrayed and almost died in the next action because he did not go along with you.
?”
"This...this is just my personal guess..."
"I'm afraid it's more than just speculation, right?" Mingtai snorted and said angrily, "Besides these, do you also know of any ulterior motives between the higher ups and No. 76?"
After saying that, Mingtai let go of Guo Qiyun, who then got up and endured the pain all over his body and said: "No. 76 provides a channel for Chongqing. This is not a secret at Shangfeng. There is a shortage of exchanges between the two parties.
supplies, stabilize the currency, then sell some economic intelligence to each other, and sacrifice some of each other's subordinates, so that both parties can obtain the maximum economic benefits."
Hearing this, Mingtai suddenly felt a little disheartened. If it wasn't Guo Qiyun who was making money for the country, then it was the senior military commander. And if the military commander did this, wouldn't the old man know? That's the devil!
Thinking of this, Mingtai felt a little regret for his choice to join the military for the first time.
"I finally understand!" After a short silence, Mingtai suddenly said this sentence, which immediately confused Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli.
"Team leader, what do you understand?" Guo Qiyun asked boldly.
"Of course why is Shangfeng so anxious to send me to Shanghai to help rebuild the Shanghai Station!"
"But... we didn't do anything!"
"You are wrong! As long as we continue to act, that person surnamed Chen can continue to do business with No. 76 without any worries. Otherwise, with Boss Dai's temper, he would have been dismissed as the webmaster long ago! Okay.
!That's great!"
With that said, Mingtai stamped his feet and was about to walk out. Yu Manli hugged him from behind and persuaded him earnestly: "Mingtai! Don't be impulsive!"
Even Guo Qiyun on the side said anxiously: "Team leader, it's useless even if you go to Station Master Chen. All stations and bureaus are involved in this matter, and the scope is very wide. It's just tacitly understood by the new government.
Airports, ports and docks have invested in shares, and the largest shareholder of the entire transaction is the top military officials. So team leader, you should listen to my advice, don't imitate the 'Poisonous Bee', you can't beat them!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang's voice suddenly rang out, "Forget it, Adjutant Guo! If he is willing to listen to you, then he is no longer Mingtai, am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Qiyun was completely stunned. He didn't even notice when Li Qiang came!
Mingtai, on the other hand, said nothing, but kept staring at Li Qiang with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
Li Qiang came closer slowly, and first gave Yu Manli a wink to tell her to let go, but Yu Manli stubbornly shook her head quickly, so Li Qiang had no choice but to say: "Let him go, Manli! He can
I'm not stupid enough to go to Webmaster Chen to argue with me, but I'm planning to find a 'venomous snake' to argue with, am I right?"
Mingtai snorted and turned his head to one side, acquiescing. Yu Manli also slowly released the hand holding Mingtai, her face still full of worry.
Li Qiang simply pulled up a chair and sat down, and said slowly to Mingtai: "You also know that there are many people in the house, so if you want to ask anything, just ask it here!"
"Ask you?" Mingtai said subconsciously.
"What? As your boss's boss, I know what Viper knows, and I also know what he doesn't know. Am I not qualified to answer your question?"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli both opened their mouths in surprise, with shock written all over their faces.
Mingtai was not polite, pointed at the cargo boxes behind him, and asked bluntly: "Do you know about these things they do?"
"I know!"
"Then don't you feel ashamed?"
"I didn't join them, so why should I feel ashamed? But then again, they are not all doing it for themselves. Even if they get the majority of the final benefits, they can still play some role in stabilizing the economy in the rear, right?
?”
"Big head? Humph! I think that in the end, not even 10% of it can be used to fight the war!"
"Whether it's 30% or 10%, it's still better than sitting there and being trapped alive by the Japanese, right?"
"According to what you said, those guys not only had no fault, but actually made meritorious deeds? What kind of bullshit is this?"
"Hey! You said this, I didn't!"
"Then you just watch helplessly as these officials, big and small, are using the banner of resisting Japan and saving the nation to make money from the national calamity?"
"To save the country, save the officials first! If the officials can't survive, how can we save the country?"
"fart!"
"This is a fact! When the national crisis hits, who organizes the troops to go to the front line to fight and work hard? Should you go? Or should I go? Do we have to rely on officials, big and small? Only after we feed them will they be willing to work hard for the party and the country!
"
"Who said that?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the old man!"
Hearing this, Mingtai couldn't help but smile bitterly, "My eyes have really been opened today. There is a rationale for making money when the country is struggling! According to what you say, then should we join in with them?"
However, Li Qiang asked: "Mingtai, answer me, throughout the ages, have there been more corrupt officials or more honest officials?"
"Then you still need to ask? Of course there are too many corrupt officials!"
"Yes, throughout the ages, honest officials have been rare, and corrupt officials have been like the sand of the Yellow River. So we have to do one thing, always trying to draw a clear line with corrupt officials. Can we do it? Just like if I don't break into the new government, can I
Is there any chance of obtaining important information?"
"So? This is the purpose of you coming here, to make me blind and deaf and let me do whatever I want?"
"Do you know?"
"What do you think?" Mingtai asked.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Definitely not! So I have another purpose for coming to you this time."
After saying that, Li Qiang stood up and came to Mingtai, and took the initiative to extend his right hand, "I formally invite you to become a member of the 'God of Wealth' team!"
…
"Team leader, what kind of group are you really planning to join?" On the way back to the flour mill, Guo Qiyun, who was in charge of driving, asked worriedly.
"It's the 'God of Wealth' team!" Yu Manli quickly corrected her. At this time, her mood was much better than before. After all, the situation she was most worried about did not happen, and Mingtai did not hide the truth from him.
And hating herself is enough for her.
Mingtai also corrected: "It's not me, it's us. Don't forget that we are comrades in the same group. No matter what happens, we must advance and retreat together!"
"Yes! Let's advance and retreat together!"
Yu Manli immediately agreed, and a faint smile appeared on Guo Qiyun's face, which had always been serious about words, and the relationship between the three people became closer...
Two days later, the Military Police Headquarters.
In the office, Nan Zao Yunzi looked at Aunt Gui standing in front of him with a sullen look on his face, and scolded him with a dark face: "Who allowed you to stand in front of me so openly? For a pretender, identity is
Don’t you know what exposure means?”
Not wanting to face Nan Zao Yunzi's reprimand, Aunt Gui didn't take it seriously, and just said to herself: "Because I have found conclusive evidence, I think it's time for a showdown, and there is no need to keep pretending.
.”
As soon as these words came out, Nan Zao Yunzi narrowed his eyes and said to her word by word: "Even so, you should report to Director Wang of No. 76 instead of running to me unexpectedly.
Come to the office!"
"This is the second thing I am going to report to you. I have enough reasons to suspect that Director Wang of No. 76 has been instigated by Minglou to take his side!"
"What did you say?" Nan Zao Yunzi didn't listen. It was a good thing. When Aunt Gui said this, his voice immediately raised several octaves, but soon he forced himself to calm down and asked, "How can you say that?
Do you have proof?"
"Yes! Just some time ago, I wrote a secret letter and sent it to No. 76 to remind Director Wang to pay attention to the flour mill of Ming's family. However, almost a week has passed now, and Director Wang has been late.
No substantive action has been taken yet, and the secret letter is like a stone sinking into the sea, with no further content, so..."
"So based on this alone, you conclude that there is something wrong with Director Wang?"
"Yes." Aunt Gui nodded quickly and said.
"Okay! I will pay attention to this matter. As for the so-called 'conclusive evidence' in your mouth, I will confirm it within three days. If the facts are not as you said, you know what will happen.
as a result of."
"Don't worry, Section Chief Nan Zao, this operation will be absolutely foolproof!" Aunt Gui assured her, patting her chest, and then left respectfully.
But not long after she left, a figure turned out from behind the screen, and it turned out to be Wang Manchun, who had been sued by Aunt Gui!
"Director Nan Zao, am I right?"
However, Nanzo Yunzi waved her hand, "Maybe she is just a little angry that you ignored her information, and it's not to the point of sowing discord, right?"
"Chief Nan Zao, that guy just needs to vent his anger. I'm afraid that she has other agendas."
Nanzo Yunzi became nervous after hearing this, "You mean..."
"That's right! I suspect that she is trying every possible means to sabotage the mission that Miss Nariko gave you to win over the Ming family. I even suspect that she may have secretly taken refuge with Chief Fujita!"
