Jiang Cheng returned to modern Shanghai with the gold packed in wooden boxes. Seeing that the basement was still the same, Jiang Cheng nodded with relief and called Sun Ning, "Sun Ning, what are you doing? Are you free?"
Sun Ning seemed to be in the company, the background was very quiet, and he said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I'm in the office now."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver a military order. Our payment has arrived. You can ask the security company to send two cash transport trucks to my place, and bring a few stronger security guards."
When Sun Ning heard what Jiang Cheng said, he guessed that this time it was probably something valuable, so he didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly used his authority to mobilize two cash transport trucks, and found eight agents to pretend to be security guards.
Jiang Cheng’s family.
When Jiang Cheng saw Sun Ning taking Yu Na and two cash transport trucks, he smiled and praised, "I know there is a future for the boss lady to get off work early."
Yu Na blushed and glanced at Jiang Cheng, while Sun Ning said carelessly, "Where are the things?"
Jiang Cheng saw a few strong-looking security guards behind him and said, "Follow me, down below."
Everyone came to the basement together and saw the wooden boxes lying on the floor. Yu Na pulled Jiang Cheng curiously and asked, "What are these? When did they get them?"
Jiang Cheng patted Yu Na's hand. Seeing so many people, Yu Na quickly retracted her hand. Jiang Cheng then smiled and said, "It's all the money our customers gave us. Sun Ning, let the security guys take care of it."
Move the box up, I've already contacted the bank, just pull down the bank vault and put it away."
Sun Ning pulled it and found that the box, which seemed to be only the size of a suitcase, was extremely heavy. He asked in surprise, "What is in it? Why is it so heavy?"
Jiang Cheng patted the box and pulled it over to Sun Ning and Yu Na and said softly, "It's all gold. There are more than three tons in total. One box weighs two hundred kilograms. Come on, come on. Yu Na, please go outside and keep an eye on it. Let's move it together."
Gold! It’s gold again. Why does Jiang Cheng have so much precious metal? Sun Ning looked at the box in front of him in disbelief. He first noticed Jiang Cheng because of the sudden appearance of a large amount of gold. A large amount of gold had appeared some time ago.
, and now again, how much gold does the force behind Jiang Cheng have, and why is it willing to continue to transfer precious metals like gold to China? This gold has definitely not passed through customs. Sun Ning knows very well that if he wants to find out what this is all about.
What's going on? The only way is to break into the group behind Jiang Cheng. Thinking about the progress over such a long period of time, Sun Ning can't help but feel a little anxious.
A security guard knelt down and lifted it hard, frowning. Jiang Cheng was afraid that he would smash the box, so he quickly shouted, "Two people should lift it together, be careful."
Sun Ning stepped forward and looked at the box. It was an ordinary wooden box. He wanted to test the weight, but his hand was stopped by Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Don't come here. If you get hurt,
I can't afford to pay, our company really can't be without you. It's better for me to do it."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng squatted down and exerted himself, suppressing his blush before raising his head up. He was swaying as he walked. Sun Ning quickly supported him, making Jiang Cheng just want to find a crack in the ground to turn in.
Looking at Jiang Cheng's embarrassing appearance, both Yu Na and Sun Ning couldn't stop laughing.
Jiang Cheng changed the subject and said, "By the way, how is our pontoon? Are the materials ready? Our buyers are very anxious."
Sun Ning said while moving the box with Jiang Cheng, "Don't worry, everything is fine. The goods will arrive tomorrow. You can take them away when you bring them. This thing cost us 40 to 50 million."
Jiang Cheng stuck out his tongue and said, "Why is it so expensive?"
Sun Ning rolled his eyes and said, "Of course. These pontoons are all specially made and are so long. I only want three of them, and I don't have any requirements on lifespan. Otherwise, God knows what the price will be. By the way,
Let me estimate how much this gold is worth."
"One billion, how about it? These businesses are doing well, and there will be other repayments later, so you can help me run the company." Jiang Cheng said directly. After saying this number, Yu
Na and Sun Ning were both severely shocked.
It was indeed a little slow for a few people to move three and a half tons of gold. It was almost dark before all the gold was moved, and the disguised agents were so tired that they could hardly lift their feet. Sun Ning also
I could only give him an apologetic look.
Jiang Cheng watched Sun Ning take the security company and the gold to the bank. Yu Na pushed Jiang Cheng and said, "You really trust Sister Sun Ning. You are not afraid of her running away with one billion."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Your man is capable and can make more at any time. Besides, isn't this a person from a security company?"
Sun Ning led someone to put the gold in the bank vault. When he opened the box, he saw that it was full of gold. An agent said in disbelief, "Who is this person? It's really more than three tons of gold. How rich is this?"
ah?"
Sun Ning glared at him and said, "Do you still remember the confidentiality regulations? Don't ask questions if you shouldn't know. Quickly check if there are any problems with the gold, or if there are any special marks."
The agents looked around and saw nothing. The gold had been resmelted by Jiang Cheng in order to remove the signs of the Republic of China period, so it was blank gold.
Sun Ning sighed and said, "Okay, forget it if you don't have it. Such a simple vulnerability will not be given to us in the future. Let's withdraw."
Jiang Cheng and Yu Na came to the warehouse the next day after being warm. They happened to see Lin Fei coming out. Jiang Cheng waved and asked, "Lin Fei, have the boxes from the pontoon arrived?"
When Lin Fei saw it was Jiang Cheng, he nodded quickly and said, "Brother Cheng, here we are, right inside. You came just after finishing your work. I haven't even had time to eat yet."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then you go to eat, I will take care of these things."
The design of the pontoon is very simple. It is just some pontoons and the steel plates on them, placed in containers one by one. Jiang Cheng's current transmission distance is more than eight meters in radius, but he still cannot transport it all at once. He can only transport half of it first.
The rest will be shipped next time.
When Jiang Cheng returned to the Republic of China, the Japanese army had already breached the Jiangyin Fortress and began to attack Nanjing's last line of defense, Zhenjiang.
After listening to Bashun's report, Jiang Cheng said anxiously, "Go to Brigadier Zhu and Zhou Weiguo to see me immediately. We don't have much time."
At this time, in the Nanjing headquarters, Tang Shengzhi was also nervously dispatching troops and generals.
Jiangyin Fortress did not hold out for a month as he believed. Instead, it was captured by Japanese aircraft and artillery after holding on for nearly ten days. Although Zhenjiang also had fortress artillery, compared with Jiangyin, the geographical location was not commendable.
Tang Shengzhi thought it would be good if he could stick to it for a week.
The Japanese army also began to divide its troops across the river to attack Taizhou, preparing to encircle Nanjing City.
Zhu Chi didn't stop during this period. He asked the engineers in his army to hurry up and build the fortifications. At the same time, he contacted his old friends everywhere, but the result was that he didn't know how to face Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhu Chi, who was a little embarrassed in front of him, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Brigadier Zhu? Could something have changed?"
Zhu Chi swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes or no. During this period, I found a few of my friends and classmates, but I also found some people who were willing to do this. They are all reliable people, and most of them are my friends.
But they have some requirements."
When Jiang Cheng heard the request, he frowned and said, "What request? Should we let them retreat first after the bridge is built, or should the superiors blame me and let me take the responsibility?"
Zhu Chi did not dare to look at Jiang Cheng and said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't know that Tang Shengzhi has stationed military police in each of our units. We will let the military police know about any action we want to take, and the private construction of the pontoon must not be allowed to happen."
Tang Shengzhi knows, and the construction of this position is for war, it is a business matter, this pontoon bridge is yours, it is a private matter, and it is still necessary to distinguish between public and private matters." As he said this, Zhu Chi himself became embarrassed.
Jiang Cheng still didn't quite understand and asked, "Commander Zhu, please just tell me, okay?"
Zhu Chi gritted his teeth and said, "This army has military rules. The departure fee, labor cost, night time fee, combat fee, and the tea money for the military police, and the drink money for each officer are all indispensable."
"This is to build a pontoon for yourselves. This pontoon is built so that you can escape and survive when the time comes! Do you know how much we need to pay for the materials? You actually ask me for money?" Jiang Cheng simply said
I can’t believe that this pontoon bridge was the only way to survive in Nanjing then, but now I have to pay for it myself.
"Boss, if we don't build anything anymore, what will happen?" Bashun shouted, his temper rising.
Zhu Chi also said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Jiang, I really can't do anything about this. I'll forget about my share of the money, but the money below is really important. No one will come to work without money.
After all, this is our private business. Besides, Mr. Jiang, this will be the only way to pass by. You will collect some toll money then. If you don’t save all the money, will you get it all back?" As he said this, Zhu Chi also felt a little sorry for Jiang Cheng.
He blamed Jiang Cheng for being too petty. How much can he charge for this floating bridge? This is not a floating bridge, this is a golden road.
When Jiang Cheng heard about tolls, he almost wanted to laugh. He shook his fingers and didn't know what to say. He sighed, sat down and asked, "How much does it cost?"
Zhu Chi stretched out a hand and said, "A total of three million legal coins up and down."
"You guys have grabbed it!" Bashun said anxiously when he heard that. At this time, a soldier nominally has ten French coins a month, but except for a few German weapon masters brokered by Chiang Kai-shek who can get this full salary, soldiers from other armies can get it.
Two or three legal currency is not bad, three million is enough to pay a month's salary to the entire Nanjing army. You must know that the deployment fee given by Chiang Kai-shek to the Eighth Route Army is only 200,000. This is true. Jiang Cheng is slaughtering a fat sheep.
ah.
At this time, Jiang Cheng really had the idea of not caring about these bastards. He just thought of the tragic scene in Nanjing in the future. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it. You guys can build me a pontoon bridge immediately." After saying that, he looked at Zhu Chi and said, "This pontoon bridge must be
We must seize the time to build it. If it is delayed, my money will not be so easy to get."
Zhu Chi nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. With this money, I can guarantee that even if Tang Shengzhi is killed, there will be no news of it."
Indeed, in the Republic of China at this time, money could be used to channel spirits. With money clearing the way, two to three thousand engineers came to the river that night and began to build a pontoon bridge. They watched the pontoon bridge being assembled section by section, and then quickly extended to the other side of the Yangtze River.
Jiang Cheng's mood improved a little.
On the construction site, the torches were shining like daylight. An engineer worked hard to install the screws of a floating tank, and then handed the floating tank to the people behind him with great effort. He asked curiously, "Where did you get this thing? Could it be Chiang Kai-shek?"
Did the chairman make preparations in advance?"
The engineer squad leader next to him smiled and said, "Who the hell, I got ten French coins, but I still can't shut your mouth?"
The engineer chuckled and said, "That's enough, that's enough, it's enough for me to go to the kiln. You said that Nanjing is about to start a war, but this kiln sister doesn't even close her business. The brothers have finished their work. We
Let’s have fun together, what do you think?”
Several engineers nearby laughed and catered.
Next to Zhu Chi were several engineering battalion officers and several guards. These guards were representatives of the direct superiors of these engineering battalions, as well as people from the gendarmerie. Zhu Chi handed out bank notes one by one, and an officer waved the check and said, "
This boss is really fucking rich. I asked Brigadier Zhu, how much money can we make from this pontoon? The money we take will not let us spit it out with interest."
Zhu Chi frowned and said, "This floating bridge will only be used when there is no other choice. If you dare to retreat without a fight, I can guarantee that the people here will use machine guns to greet you."
The officer arched his eyebrows and said, "No way, I will definitely fight the Japanese to the end. Anyway, now I have confidence in my heart. I am not afraid anymore."
Zhu Chi warned, "Please keep this matter top secret. Everyone must keep it in their stomachs, especially Tang Shengzhi and Shangfeng. If they find out, they will blow up the floating bridge.
Not to mention our punishment, when the time comes there will be no way out, and everyone will have no place to cry."
Everyone nodded quickly and said yes.
The parts of later generations are very simple to assemble. A pontoon only weighs seven or eight kilograms. One person can walk over and throw it into the water, fix it with steel wires, lay steel plates on top, and the pontoon is built very quickly.
Seeing that it was all made of fine steel, Zhu Chi came to Jiang Cheng's side and said in surprise, "Mr. Jiang, this pontoon is worth a lot of money, it's all good steel."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's about the price of a ton of gold, it doesn't matter." After saying that, he entered the room. There were Zhou Weiguo and Wang Yong in the room. Bashun was monitoring the work in the warehouse. When Jiang Cheng heard Jiang Cheng casually say
Zhu Chi was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, becoming more and more afraid of the ability of the legendary Colonel Jiang. If the money was used to buy the head of any general, Chairman Chiang might personally tie it up and send it to his door.
It’s not an empty talk that money can help the gods.
In Nanjing City, Tang Shengzhi stood on a high platform and saw some fire on the other side of the river. He asked curiously, "What's going on over there? Why is there fire?"
Several staff officers nearby exchanged glances with each other, and one staff officer stepped forward and said, "Report to Commander Tang, it is a troop training, and they are patrolling the river. It is said that they are afraid that Japanese spies will sneak across the Yangtze River. This may take several days."
Tang Shengzhi nodded without doubting his presence, and just went back to the house to rest. After all, it was also very cold in Jiangnan at this time.
"Weiguo, look, there was such a big movement on the floating bridge, but Tang Shengzhi actually didn't hear any movement at all. It seems that these people really got the job done after taking the money." Jiang Cheng shook his head and sat down.
Said the chair.
It's a big joke that such a commander and such a unit can win the battle if he can't even detect the movements of thousands of soldiers under his command.
Zhou Weiguo said incomprehensively, "Sir, if we make such a big fuss, will something happen?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Nowadays, there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains in Nanjing. People who know about this floating bridge will not talk nonsense. After all, the fewer people know about it back then, the greater the chance of successfully crossing the bridge. Weiguo
, If I am not wrong, chaos will definitely occur by then. Your troops must hold the bridge to the end, and I will give you as much machine gun firepower as possible. You must ensure the order of crossing the bridge at that time."
Zhou Weiguo stood at attention and saluted and said, "Promise to complete the mission."
Jiang Cheng nodded and asked Zhou Weiguo to go out, and asked Wang Yong next to him, "Have you contacted the organization? What did they say?"
Wang Yong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss. I've already contacted them. They will guide the people across the river by then. By the way, I also told them to save the students and professors first. After all, those are ours."
It’s a reading seed, right?”
Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyes and said, "There are still too few intellectuals in China. I am reluctant to let any of them die, especially since there are a large number of potential students in Nanjing. These people will become the leaders of our country in the future."
Backbone."
Jiang Cheng stood up, looked at the construction site of the pontoon bridge in the distance and said, "Everything that needs to be done has been done. The next step is to wait patiently. Wang Yong, take half of the team members to the other end of the bridge to guard. This bridge must be under control."
