Chapter 784: You are asked to attend the military meeting
"Just out of curiosity, why did you arrest McFarlane?"
"This is a core secret. How could I possibly tell you?"
"That's right. Then help me think of a way to get five hundred Garand rifles."
"What?"
The spy frowned.
Once again, I feel like I can’t keep up with Zhang Yong’s thinking.
Garand rifle?
Five hundred?
What are you doing here?
Rifles are useful...
"McFarland is a salesman for Springfield Company. But he told me last time that he would not sell less than 5,000 pieces..."
"You wouldn't make up an order. Would you like Springfield to give you a sample first?"
"Sample? Five hundred pieces? Is that okay?"
"You can give a deposit of several thousand dollars. Just receive the deposit."
"right."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Enlightened.
In fact, the operation is not difficult.
If you foolishly only buy 500 pieces, others will of course be too lazy to deliver them.
Springfield Company is also the leader among small arms arms dealers. They will not accept an order for 500 Garand rifles at all. But, what if it is 50,000?
If you tell the other party, I want to order 50,000 Garand rifles. Please give me a deposit first. You can give me a battalion of samples, about 500 rifles. We can get familiar with them first. The other party may ship the goods. Maybe even send
People guide you. After you get 500 samples, say sorry to the other party, and then cancel the order...
Although it may lose some credibility, but...
Wait. Actually, we can say we have to wait. Funds are being raised.
It is only three years since the outbreak of World War II, marked by Germany's invasion of Poland.
For the international arms trade, three years is actually a short time.
What he wants to do now is not to cancel the order, but to find ways to get the goods. To get more goods.
Otherwise, after September 1939, the arms export trade of the beautiful country was fully tightened, and it would not be easy to buy anymore. The production of Garand rifles was not high, and the beautiful country's own military equipment was not enough. Poor Navy Ma Run
, fourth-class people, had to wait until after 1943 to get the Garand. Before, they had to pull the big lock.
So, lack of money!
Very short of money! Money money money!
No matter what I buy, I am very short of money. Tens of thousands of dollars is not enough.
Really, for the arms trade, anything less than one million US dollars is an unremarkable business. Other arms companies may not take a fancy to it.
At present, the price of Garand rifles is very scary. It costs about 100 US dollars each. For one million US dollars, that is 10,000 rifles. For a huge army that can easily reach millions, 10,000 rifles
It doesn't matter at all.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong's purpose is just to equip the Fourth Air Police Regiment and create a beggar's version of the Air Service Regiment. It can only perform some special tasks. It can be competent in small-scale battles. Don't even think about other things. He is like this
It's impossible for a small person to do it.
"How can I make more money?" Zhang Yong asked seriously.
"You ask me?" The spy's eyes were confused.
Baga! What a freak!
Clear and stupid eyes!
But he was caught by him. Damn it!
"I have no experience." Zhang Yong said honestly, "You are going to die anyway, so just talking to me is a good deed."
"A good thing? You're overthinking it." The spy sneered.
"If you don't tell me, then I will let you go back."
"What?"
"If you don't say anything, I will let you go back. You can go."
"What?"
The spy was stunned again.
Then, he realized a very scary problem.
He has no way out.
Even if you let him go back, he can't go back.
Because the result of going back is to be silenced.
The kidnapping has been exposed and even made it into the newspapers...
etc!
newspaper?
Not necessarily true...
Maybe Zhang Yong is just scaring himself...
"Extra!"
"Extra!"
“American businessmen were beaten by the Japanese!”
“American businessmen were beaten by the Japanese!”
"Extra!"
"Extra!"
Suddenly, the newsboy's shout came from outside.
The spy turned his head reflexively and looked at the newsboy running outside. Then he turned to look at Zhang Yong.
His eyes seemed to say, Did you arrange this? To scare me?
"I gave you the money." Zhang Yong misunderstood and nodded directly, "So, the number went out very quickly."
He waved his hand to his subordinates at the door, signaling them to go out and buy a few extra orders and come in.
Soon, a copy of the order, smelling of ink, was placed in front of the spy.
Mimeographed.
There was no time to turn on the printing press.
Directly mimeograph and seize the market.
The picture above is a bit blurry.
But, for a spy, that's enough. He is a smart man. He knows what is happening.
It was in the newspapers...
Everyone knows...
It is estimated that tomorrow's newspaper headlines will all be about the kidnapping of an American businessman.
Public opinion is likely to further ferment because Zhang Yong spent money. The purpose of spending money is, of course, to make the matter bigger and cause trouble all over the world. Everyone who caused the trouble knows it.
Then……
There's no after that.
As the instigator, there is no way he can survive.
Either he committed seppuku on his own initiative, or he was silenced by his own people. Then the Military Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly refused to admit it.
Which one will he choose?
"Have a good sleep at night." Zhang Yong stood up.
Very busy.
We still have to catch the seventh spy.
The spy in front of me probably won't commit suicide or go back.
He has no way out.
On the other hand, the spy caught at Baozipu may commit suicide.
Because his disguised identity is that of the bottom class. He lives in poverty and has no nostalgia for the life in front of him. But Yosuke Yamaguchi does. This is enough.
"Are you leaving?" Yamaguchi Yosuke frowned and looked sad.
He admitted failure.
Now he is at the end of his rope.
Unless he wants to die.
However, he didn't want to die. He didn't have the courage to die anymore.
Years of lurking have made him adapt, and he is reluctant to live a comfortable life. Unless he is beaten to death, he does not have the courage to die on his own.
"Have you ever heard of the Osaka Division?" Zhang Yong suddenly said unexpectedly.
"What's wrong with the Fourth Division?" Yamaguchi Yosuke was confused.
"Nothing." Zhang Yong walked out.
What can I do? It's just that I'm cunning and don't want to die in vain.
The other 6th Division and 1st Division are all miners who are usually very poor. So they are not afraid of death in war.
None of them have ever enjoyed a comfortable life, so there is nothing to be reluctant about.
As a result, they all became cannon fodder.
Only the Osaka Division could live comfortably again after surrendering.
To this day, the number of the Fourth Division still exists. This shows how smart others are.
"What happened to the Fourth Division?"
The spy was talking to himself. He was mumbling.
In fact, he was looking for a spiritual platform for himself.
"nothing."
Zhang Yong didn't even look back.
I don't know anything. I'm just talking.
"you come back."
"do what?"
"Let's make a deal."
"You want me to give you money, no."
Zhang Yong flatly refused.
Trading is possible. However, I will never pay for it.
Brother is not penniless. He is really poor...
"you come back!"
"good."
Zhang Yong turned around and came back.
Sit down, straighten your body, and listen attentively.
"You don't have to pay. I can also give you some advice to make a fortune."
"condition."
"I'm going abroad. To Italy."
"I suggest you go to Brazil."
"Why?"
"There are many of your kind over there."
"No. I want to go to Italy. I want to remain anonymous. Not to have contact with anyone."
"make a deal!"
Zhang Yong thought of Tanavaro, that Italian mafia businessman.
That guy seems to have gone back to Italy for a long time. I don’t know when he will come back. What did I discuss with him in the first place?
I took out the small notebook and looked through it carefully. I found that there was no record. Alas, it was sloppy.
That's fine. It's nothing serious anyway.
Italy is a country so far away that I can't interfere.
There is not much money to be made in Italy now. On the contrary, civil war is brewing in Spain.
Unfortunately, the distance is still too far. There is no chance to intervene.
"After I get on the ship safely, I can give you a windfall..."
"etc!"
"You do not want?"
"Of course not. You can't trade our Chinese money for your life."
"What I'm giving you now is French money. And then it's British money. They all come from shady sources and they don't dare to be made public. Do you dare to ask for it?"
"dare."
Zhang Yong nodded.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
As long as it comes from a shady origin, it belongs to whomever it is in the hands of.
He, Zhang Yong, is usually timid. But if you have money, you can be bolder. High risk, high return, eternal truth. The ancients also said that the timid will starve to death and the bold will die of starvation. Just lie down and want to fish.
Good things like money don't come around very often.
"Well, let me tell you now, there is a batch of arms at No. 26 Wutong Road, Zhenjiang. You can pick it up and sell it, and you can make at least 50,000 yuan."
"arms?"
"Yes. Came from French Indochina."
"Vietnam?"
Zhang Yong frowned.
Weapons brought by the French from Vietnam?
At this time, foreigners seem to have no idea of Vietnam. They all say it belongs to Indochina.
The problem is, this is arms!
Shake his head.
The arms trade is too sensitive.
The tobacco trade was too sensitive. He didn't want to get involved.
He is self-aware. He wears a hat as big as his head. He will definitely eat whatever he can afford.
However, if you can’t eat it and will starve to death, then forget it.
There is no reason to seek death for no reason. Why bother?
This Yamaguchi Yosuke is not well-intentioned and wants to trick himself. Once these arms are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
You, a small team leader of the Fuxing Society's Secret Service, who has not yet been formally established, actually want to dispose of a large number of arms? What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? The crime is much more serious than colluding with the Red Party. You are directly arrested by the military police.
Surrounded and destroyed.
He looked askance at the spy.
Mudd, do you think I'm a fool?
The spy looked at Zhang Yong helplessly.
After a long time, he said slowly: "There are representatives of your Yunnan Army in Jinling..."
"So what?" Zhang Yong still didn't understand.
"You find someone, pretend to be an agent of a French company, go to the Yunnan Army and tell them that you have arms to trade with them. Let them see the goods, then pay the money and take delivery of the goods. The price will be better. The Yunnan Army will definitely be happy."
"this……"
Zhang Yong thought of the current situation.
Guangdong and Guangxi joined forces to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek...
If the King of Yunnan turns to Li Bai, the pressure on Chiang Kai-shek will be great.
If Chen Jitang, Li Bai, and Long Yun join forces, Chiang Kai-shek will be in huge trouble. Guizhou will definitely not be able to save it. That means half of the southwestern part will be lost.
If the three families join forces, they can mobilize an army of 300,000 to 400,000 people. The main forces of Chiang Kai-shek's direct line are all encircling and suppressing the Red Army. Where can we draw a large army at once?
He Jian of the Hunan Army had tens of thousands of people at most but less than 50,000. What could he do to stop Li Bai?
Xiao Zhuge is still very good at fighting. None of the ten He Jians can be the opponent of Xiao Zhuge. If Xiangnan is lost, Jinling will be in danger.
Therefore, no matter what request Long Yun made at this moment, Lao Jiang had to agree.
Perhaps, the historical Long Yun did make some demands? That made Chiang Kai-shek very unhappy? So in 1945, as soon as the Anti-Japanese War was won, Long Yun was immediately attacked?
Damn, this Japanese spy is really accurate. There are capable people among the Japanese invaders!
"You go."
"I will contact you every seven days."
"good."
"Besides, the Raymond group has a lot of funding."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's eyes sparkled.
Singkawang turned around and left.
There was no swearing or anything like that. No need for it. He bribed Zhang Yong with money.
For Zhang Yong, money is the most reliable promise.
Zhang Yong has nothing to lose. Letting go of a Japanese spy in exchange for a batch of arms is definitely worth it.
No matter who hands this batch of arms in the end, they will all be used to kill the Japanese invaders. If it is given to the Yunnan Army, it is naturally the best. The Yunnan Army has a very good record.
Even if there is an accident and it is finally confiscated by Chiang Kai-shek, it will fall into the hands of Huangpu's direct lineage. It will also be used in the Songhu Battle next year. In the Songhu Battle, the first people to invest in the Songhu Battle are the elites of Chiang Kai-shek's direct lineage. It cannot be
It is said that Chiang Kai-shek did not try his best at all. He was indeed determined to fight at the beginning. But later, the losses were too great and the main force of his direct line was exhausted. He was worried that it would affect his dominance, so he began to hesitate and look around.
However, these are not important.
The important thing is...
The Raymond Intelligence Group has a lot of funding...
A lot of dollars?
How much is it? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
Take a deep breath.
Get rid of distracting thoughts from your mind.
To catch the last spy.
This spy is probably hiding nearby. He won't go too far.
Otherwise, he would not choose a rickshaw.
Sure enough, we soon discovered a Japanese aggressor wearing a kidnapper's mark. It was him.
It's a bit surprising. This Japanese invader is actually a policeman.
Beside him, there were several policemen, all carrying rifles. They seemed to be on guard duty.
Zhang Yong turned to look at Huang Benkuan, "Do you know that guy?"
"I don't know." Huang Benkuan shook his head, "Shall I ask?"
"No need. He is a Japanese spy." Zhang Yong said bluntly, "Now, I am going to arrest him."
"The rifle in his hand has no bullets." Huang Benkuan said.
"Really?" Zhang Yong was dubious.
No bullets? Good thing!
He was also worried that the Japanese spies would suffer big losses if they had weapons in their hands.
Unexpectedly, the rifles in the hands of these policemen did not have bullets. It was indeed an accident. Outsiders had no idea.
"real."
"Why?"
"Worried about being snatched away."
"oh."
Zhang Yong expressed his understanding.
It turns out that the concept of gun and bullet separation existed at this time.
Too careful.
However, for him at this moment, it is a good thing.
Lead the team directly up and walk towards the seven policemen.
When the seven policemen saw them, they were all confused. Then they hurriedly stood at attention, put their rifles on the ground, and paid attention.
Zhang Yong came to the spy with an expressionless face, reached out to collect his rifle, and then said: "My name is Zhang Yong, and I am from the Fuxing Society's Secret Service..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, the spy suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed him, turned around and ran away.
The surrounding police officers were suddenly stunned.
He watched helplessly as Zhang Yong was pushed and staggered back.
The spy policeman was running very fast and was about to turn around the corner and disappear into the side street behind.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Just then, a gunshot rang out.
The spy turned around and ran away. Zhang Yong had expected this.
At this point, you still want to run? Dreaming!
Others opened fire immediately.
After a burst of gunfire, the Japanese invaders fell to the ground.
If the red dot does not disappear, it means he is not dead. There are still weapon marks on his body.
Lu Keming and others tried to rush forward.
"etc!"
Zhang Yong hurriedly stopped the person.
There is something fishy about this Japanese spy! He may be trying to deceive!
Everyone stopped.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
A ball of fire broke out on the spot.
Zhang Yong:!!!
Squat down quickly.
Others also lay down.
It turned out that the spy fired the grenade and blew himself up.
Zhang Yong:……
Damn! This spy is very fierce!
He actually hid a grenade in his arms! Mader. Fortunately, he didn't pull it off just now.
otherwise……
I can't even imagine the consequences.
After the explosion, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Especially the other six policemen were completely stunned.
sky!
What exactly is going on?
Why did you blow up yourself with a grenade?
"He's a spy!"
"You all sew your mouths shut!"
"If the secret is leaked, I will arrest you all and put you in a water prison!"
Zhang Yong's face was grim.
Of the seven Japanese invaders, five were dead and two were alive.
However, it is probably impossible for one of them to be alive, the one from Baozipu, to confess.
Therefore, in the end, the only person who is useful is the planner, Yosuke Yamaguchi.
However, Zhang Yong's money-making plan does not require him to survive. It does not matter.
It's fine now. All my hands and tail are taken care of.
You can report to Director Lin.
How to report?
Just say it has been dealt with.
Sure enough, Director Lin was very satisfied and praised him.
Finally he said:
"I've seen everything outside the number. Very good. You have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, change into new military uniforms, tidy up, and come to the Presidential Palace."
"Tomorrow? What's going on?"
"The committee has an important military meeting tomorrow. You will attend."
"I?"
Zhang Yong was immediately stunned.
Damn it! Attending the military meeting?
What virtue and ability am I?
Oh my god!
This is to catch a duck on the shelf! Try your best to send yourself to the merit forest!
faint……
Can I not go?
It's a pity that I don't dare to speak up. I will definitely be scolded.
I appointed you to attend the meeting. You said I have something to do and I don’t want to go...
