Tonight happens to be the 16th day of the fifth lunar month.
It was supposed to be a poetic time, but instead it was two grown men sitting opposite each other.
The empty house next to it. Use it as you please.
Zhang Yong felt that it was necessary to be more straightforward and honest with Qi Jiuding to avoid taking too many detours.
"Why so anxious?"
"I was targeted by Xu Enzeng."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong actually admired Xu Enzeng's ability.
Every time this guy disappears for a period of time, he will gain something big.
Zhang Yong had asked about Xu Enzeng's whereabouts before, but no one knew. He knew that the other party was planning a big operation.
Sure enough, the Red Party's tungsten sand transportation line was found.
Although Qi Jiuding's status was high, it would be quite troublesome once Xu Enzeng found his traces.
"Are you exposed?"
"should not."
"So, what Xu En was eyeing was tungsten sand?"
"yes."
Qi Jiuding answered slowly.
This matter is very important because it involves very important financial resources.
"In the past, did you go to Lingnan?"
"yes."
"After the main force moves north, how will the tungsten sand be processed?"
"Because there was no suitable route, I could only stock up on the spot. Later, I found a route with difficulty, taking Jiujiang, out of the Yangtze River Estuary, to Shanghai. I walked dozens of tons and successfully made the move. So I decided to go a second time. No.
I thought that we were discovered by Xu Enzeng the second time. The spies he arranged in Jiujiang discovered our traces, but they did not move until we passed Jinling before he took action."
Qi Jiuding's tone was obscure.
He blamed himself a little. He felt that he was sloppy.
The first successful shipment made him feel lucky. He felt that the route was confidential.
Unexpectedly, Xu Enzeng had already smelled it.
The result was a trap.
Zhang Yong understands it completely.
Everyone makes mistakes. Even the underground party.
There is no perfect plan, no invincible battle. Zhuge Liang sometimes makes miscalculations.
Xu Enzeng is not an ordinary person. He is also very smart.
Simply from the perspective of dealing with underground parties, he is even more powerful than Dai Li.
Dai Li's tasks are very complex. He is not as dedicated as Xu Enzeng.
"So, you came to see me?"
"Although you are not our comrade, we are friends, right?"
"How much tungsten sand do you have?"
"A boat."
"About how many tons?"
"three hundred."
"What's the market price?"
"The estimate is three hundred and twenty oceans per ton."
"That's ninety-six thousand?"
"If there is a suitable cargo owner, it is no problem to double the amount."
"Then why don't you just sell it?"
"We haven't found a stable channel yet..."
"That……"
"It's not safe to stay in southern Gansu. I originally thought of bringing him to Shanghai first, and then looking for a buyer. But unexpectedly, he was targeted by Xu Enzeng."
"I see."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Time waits for no one.
not enough time.
The underground party can no longer wait for buyers.
Must get rid of it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, not only will the tungsten sand be confiscated by Xu Enzeng, but people will also be arrested.
Basically, it's all in one go.
The entire transportation line will also be implicated and uprooted.
Xu Enzeng is best at doing this.
Indeed, sales channels are very important. It can even be said to be the most critical link.
After all, no matter how much tungsten sand there is, someone has to buy it, right?
In the past, the route taken by Nantian Wang was all that was needed. You only needed to secretly hand over the tungsten sand to Nantian Wang. Don't worry about anything else.
But now, Nantianwang himself has no way to sell it to outsiders.
I have to say that Chiang Kai-shek was sometimes very resourceful. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in this position.
The Germans were held back and prevented from buying tungsten sand from King Nantian. King Nantian’s financial resources would be seriously affected. The Guangdong and Guangxi Incident lacked financial resources to support it and naturally collapsed.
Li Bai of the Gui Clan also had certain strength. However, they were short of money. The Gui Clan was short of money from beginning to end.
Without the financial resources of King Nan Tian, the Gui clan had no choice but to bow their heads and admit their mistakes and re-express their submission.
"Where is the goods?"
"maritime."
"Radio contact?"
"right."
"Where is Xu Enzeng?"
"I don't know. Maybe he caught the scent of tungsten sand on the way to Shanghai."
"he……"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
It doesn't matter when the tungsten sand arrives. The key is that Xu Enzeng gets it.
He needs to have a fight with Xu Enzeng.
After finishing the job, it was to disturb Xu Enzeng's affairs. Get ahead of him and confiscate the tungsten sand.
Well, confiscated.
From then on it fell into his own pocket.
To be precise, it fell into the pocket of the Aviation Commission.
No one can take it away.
Ten more Xu Enzeng were useless. I guess Xu Enzeng didn't dare to grab it forcefully.
It doesn't matter if you grab it hard.
Someone will come forward.
He robbed the Aviation Commission...
"Let the ship dock at Wusongkou Pier as soon as possible and then unload the cargo."
"That tungsten sand..."
"Confiscated."
"this……"
"This is 150,000 francs. If it is not enough, I will replenish it for you later. If there is tungsten sand in the future, I will disembark directly at Wusongkou Pier, unload it, and then leave. I will settle the settlement with you separately later."
"good."
Qi Jiuding took Fa Lang over.
Zhang Yong was reluctant to give away dollars. He disliked francs, so he cleared out all the francs.
The franc in this era was not very valuable. One dollar could be exchanged for more than 20 francs. An ocean could be exchanged for four or five francs. So, 150,000 francs was not much.
Converted, it is about 40,000 oceans. There is still a shortfall of 50,000 oceans.
But it doesn't matter. Just catch a few more spies.
Then sell the tungsten sand...
"Notify me immediately of any news about Xu Enzeng."
"good."
Qi Jiuding said goodbye and left.
Zhang Yong had no intention of doing anything else and took the team directly back to Wusongkou Pier.
From now on, he will stay here.
It would be best if Xu Enzeng came...
"Commissioner, Commissioner, someone called you just now." Yuan Zheng saw Zhang Yong coming back and hurriedly reported.
"Who?" Zhang Yong asked casually.
Look at your watch. It's one o'clock in the morning. Who is in such a hurry?
Later I learned that it was Shi Bingdao.
So I called back to the 026 logistics base.
"My boss..."
"Boss Shi, what's the matter?"
"I have already received those veterans and settled them in."
"Okay. Let them come to Wusongkou Pier at noon tomorrow."
"knew."
Zhang Yong has made arrangements. Put down the phone.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone again. There was something he needed to report.
This is called seizing the opportunity.
Call back to the attendant's room. I wonder if Director Lin is there?
As a result, somewhat surprisingly, Director Lin was actually there.
Another workaholic!
Too curly...
"Shaolong, what's the matter?"
"Director, I discovered that the Red Party was trying to transport a batch of tungsten sand ashore at Wusongkou Pier..."
"Red Party?"
"It should be a ship of tungsten sand. About three hundred tons. Worth about one hundred thousand oceans."
"Are you ashore?"
"not yet."
"Don't alert others. Don't tell anyone else to avoid leaking the secret."
"clear."
"Especially if you don't let anyone in the Military Investigation Bureau know about it."
"clear."
Zhang Yong was relieved.
It seems that Director Lin and the Military Investigation Bureau are not the same family.
It's normal when you think about it. He is the director of the Attendant's Office. His relationship with Chen and Chen will definitely not be very good.
If he had a good relationship with Liang Chen, it would not be his turn to be the director of the Attendant's Office.
Without him, it was just Chiang Kai-shek's personal balancing act.
What he fears most is that his subordinates will get together and work together. He feels that this is not safe.
That's good.
Say goodbye. Then hang up the phone.
Go check out those motorcycles. Also look at that German freighter.
The motorcycles are all there.
Except for him, Zhang Yong, no one else can ride.
What a pity!
Alas, I have to teach it myself.
Fortunately, there is enough open space at Wusongkou Pier.
Of course you can't let yourself go. But learning to drive a motorcycle is enough.
Raise the telescope.
Silently observing the German freighter.
It seems like a giant beast, hiding silently in the darkness.
There is only a faint light...
It seems to cover up countless secrets.
"Is anyone coming off the ship today?"
"No."
"Is there anything unusual?"
"No."
"Observe closely. Report to me immediately if there is any situation."
"clear."
Zhang Yong made simple arrangements and then went to bed.
When I woke up in the morning, it was already ten o'clock. The hot sun was basking my buttocks. The sea breeze was also hot.
July, the most painful day of summer.
It just so happens that you have to wear a Chinese tunic suit when going on a mission. It would be weird if you don't break out in sweat.
The handsome suits in spy dramas can only be worn in other seasons. It is absolutely impossible in summer, unless you want to die from the heat.
get up.
tidy.
I received a call from Shi Bingdao, saying that the veterans had set off.
So we organized the team and went to greet him outside the gate.
Sure enough, more than half an hour later, veterans arrived one after another.
Veterans of the 29th Army...
Veterans of the Northeastern Army...
Chen Wen, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Dian Wei, Zhong Kui...
Fortunately, he still remembered some of their names. They all looked a little haggard after not seeing them for a while.
The main thing is that his mood doesn't seem too high. He seems to be worried.
"What happened on the road?" Zhang Yong asked.
"Commissioner..." Chen Wen, as the leader, murmured. He hesitated to speak.
"Speak." Zhang Yong frowned.
what happened?
You are all veterans! You dare to fight with the Japanese!
Why do you look listless now?
"Commissioner, when you ordered us to go south, do you want us to go back to farm?" Chen Wen asked with courage.
"What kind of fields are you farming?" Zhang Yong frowned, "Who told you about farming?"
"Someone said so. We don't have weapons..."
"It turns out to be a weapon..."
Zhang Yong reacted immediately.
No wonder the veterans were in a low mood. It turned out that they had no weapons.
For them, weapons are the second life. Even the first life. Without weapons, there is no sense of security.
"Weapons will be available soon!" Zhang Yong rolled his eyes.
He actually didn't.
The weapons I prepared before are all in Jinling.
He thought he would receive these veterans in Jinling. Unexpectedly, the situation changed.
Finally, by some strange combination of circumstances, I picked up these veterans at a Shanghai restaurant.
There are no weapons prepared at the 026 logistics warehouse.
But it does not matter.
As for weapons, Zhang Yong can find them at will.
"follow me!"
Wave your hands and lead the veterans forward.
There are so many warehouses at Wusongkou Pier. There are several weapons signs.
Zhang Yong had discovered it before, but he didn't have time to deal with it. He also didn't want to deal with it for the time being, because it would be easier for others to deal with it.
It just so happens that these veterans are here now and need weapons, so hurry up and get started.
Come to the vicinity of the first weapon symbol.
This is warehouse number four.
"Yuan Zheng."
"arrive."
Yuan Zheng hurriedly sent the relevant cargo list.
The manifest showed that the cargo was soybeans. It was sent from Lushun. The consignee was unknown. It was probably white gloves.
Lushun…
Soybeans…
Zhang Yong was secretly curious.
Is it really soybeans in there? I hope so...
"Bang!"
Open the warehouse door.
I lit the oil lamp and found that there were indeed many sacks inside.
Zhang Yong went up and took a picture and found that it seemed to be really soybeans. Preliminary estimates suggested that there might be several hundred tons.
incredible……
There are so many soybeans.
Since it is sent from Lushun, it must be produced in Northeast China.
well……
The three eastern provinces...
Big granary...
Thus it fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.
Since so much soybeans were transported to Shanghai, even more would be transported back to the Japanese invaders' country.
Maybe ten times, hundreds of times...
The large granaries of the three eastern provinces could feed at least tens of millions of Japanese invaders.
Sad...
He cheered up bitterly and looked for the weapon sign.
I quickly found the general area. There were still bags of soybeans piled up like mountains.
"Do it!"
Zhang Yong ordered the veterans to move the sacks down.
Move the bags outside the warehouse one by one and keep the distance apart. This way you can determine which bag contains weapons.
The result is a bit surprising. It doesn't seem to be that complicated.
During the transportation process, the veterans came into contact with something hard inside the sack.
"dismantle!"
Zhang Yong immediately gave the order.
I opened the sack and sure enough, I found something.
Inside the sacks, there were many shell guns hidden among the soybeans.
"Crash!"
"Crash!"
The soybeans inside the sack were poured out.
In the corner of the warehouse, there is a dry pool. It is specially used for loading soybeans.
Pour the soybeans into it, and the hidden weapons will be invisible.
Good guy, there are five shelling guns in the first bag of soybeans. They are all brand new. The quality is quite good.
Distribute immediately.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong himself had bullets.
continue……
"Crash!"
"Crash!"
Another bag of yellow dots was poured down.
Similarly, there are five shell guns inside. The quality is also quite good.
However, there are still no bullets.
"Crash..."
"Crash..."
More sacks were opened and poured out.
More weapons are revealed one after another. In addition to shell guns, there are also flower traps.
Zhang Yong casually picked up a flower machine and found that it was produced by Fengtian Arsenal. The quality was not bad. Of course, it could not be compared with the original imported ones, but it could still be used.
There are a total of forty shell guns and thirty flower traps. They are immediately distributed with bullets.
There are many veterans, but not enough for one man.
But it doesn't matter. There are other weapon symbols.
"recovery."
"yes."
Yuan Zheng agreed.
Immediately summon the coolies to repack the soybeans.
Zhang Yong led the veterans to the second weapon sign. After another wave, they were almost fully armed.
Maps are useful.
No guns, no cannons, make me a map...
The emotions of the veterans finally began to rise. With the guy in hand, they suddenly felt full of security.
Soon, find the second weapon symbol.
The cargo list showed that it was shipped from Hangzhou. The consignee was also unknown.
"Bang!"
The warehouse door is opened.
There are also sacks one after another inside, piled up like mountains.
The cargo list showed that the sacks were filled with rice. There were hundreds of tons of rice. One bag weighed fifty kilograms.
Rice has high density and strong stickiness, so it is not easy to find out from the outside. In the end, I had to use a map to pull out the ones with weapon marks.
Unlock the bag and pour the rice into the dispensing tank. The weapons hidden inside are finally revealed.
It's actually a shell gun. The quality varies.
But it doesn't matter.
It's not like it can't be used.
Use it first and then replace it when something better comes along.
Pull them all out.
Distribute them one by one.
Finally, all the veterans are finally fully armed.
At least everyone has one shell gun. Some even have two.
At least thirty rounds of ammunition per person...
Unfortunately, there are no rifles or machine guns. The long-range firepower is insufficient.
Suddenly my mind moved.
The map prompts that there are a large number of armed white dots entering from the edge.
There were white spots marked. I checked and found that they were Feng Jiliang and Tian Wenfeng. But I didn’t see Jin Lin and Ye Wansheng.
Okay, it came very quickly! Xu Enzeng should be here.
He immediately waved his hand.
Order everyone to stand ready.
Now he can be said to be absolutely strong.
There are 200 veterans of the 29th Army and the Northeastern Army alone. Their weapons are inferior.
There is also an action group. The leader happens to be Wei Fangquan. He is a veteran of the 47th Division. This action group has sniper rifles. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Sit tight on the fishing platform.
Just waiting for Xu Enzeng to come to him.
Sure enough, soon, a large group of people appeared outside the Wusongkou Wharf warehouse.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope.
Yes, it's Xu Enzeng. He is indeed here.
This guy is definitely the most venomous snake. Every time he disappears, he will cause a bloody storm.
The underground party really suffered a lot in front of him.
Fortunately, I met him Zhang Yong...
When Zhang Yong was at his strongest, Xu Enzeng bumped into him.
Secretly proud.
This time, the flying dragon rides on the face and wins for sure.
"go."
"yes."
Yuan Zheng stepped forward to negotiate, saying that Zhang Yong was inside.
Xu Enzeng's face suddenly turned ugly. The other faces also became very strange.
What?
Is Zhang Yong inside?
What is he doing in there? Bastard...
Why did you meet Zhang Yong, a bastard, at the most critical moment?
Convention. Zhang Yong is definitely up to no good here.
Can't beat again and again...
Sue and sue but fail to win...
Now that Zhang Yong is still the inspector of the Military and Political Commission, who dares to sue him?
Even the director of the Military Investigation Bureau dare not speak easily!
Xu Enzeng was silent for three minutes before he decided to come forward to negotiate with Zhang Yong in person.
He can't fall short.
He had been planning for so long and was just waiting for the final blow.
He came forward angrily.
"Commissioner Zhang."
"Director Xu."
"Is the Commissioner here on a mission?"
"That's right. I found the Red Party here and am preparing to arrest the Red Party."
