"Chief Takeuchi, the Shanghai Station has responded, but the conditions they offered are really..."
Tan Ye was temporarily responsible for communicating and negotiating with people at the Shanghai Station, but after the exchange, he was so angry that his face turned purple and ugly, and he complained to his superiors when he came back.
Looking at Gu Ye's expression, Zhu's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, but he managed to remain calm and his expression remained calm.
"What conditions did they impose?" Takeuchi just raised his eyebrows and spoke in a calm tone.
"... Huh... One hundred kilograms, Kuping standard gold traded at the gold industry." Gu Ye took a breath, then calmed down a little and spoke.
"It's still the same as before... No... you said one hundred kilograms?"
Takeuchi was a little unconcerned at first, but when he realized what he was doing, he could no longer hold his breath and asked with a look of astonishment on his face, as if he was a little off guard.
It's not surprising when you think about it. After all, if the lion continues to open his mouth, it will still be the original price, which at best means it is unwilling to give in.
But the price has doubled. Let’s not talk about the ransom. This attitude alone is to trample their faces under their feet. This Shanghai Station is really brave!
There was a hint of fierceness in Takeuchi's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by him. The Shanghai Station dared to make trouble there, which really made him feel a little angry.
"What other conditions do they have?" Takeuchi suppressed the anger in his heart and only asked slightly unhappy.
"There are still many conditions, such as the time and place for redemption, which will be determined and notified by them temporarily. The gold bars must be 9,780 taels of gold..."
Although Tan Ye was quite angry when he came back, this was just an exaggerated display, and his qualities were still extremely solid. He did not lose his mind on the spot because of that condition, or omit other trivial conditions.
Seeing that Chief Takeuchi had been frowning and thinking after listening, Tanye hesitated for a moment and chose to take the initiative to ask.
"Sir, the other party is obviously speaking like a lion and does not have much sincerity. Do we still need to continue the negotiation?"
Takeuchi came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said: "This is not a big talk of a lion. There is a high probability that these conditions are not issued by Shanghai Station, but by those people. If we cannot force the other party to make concessions in the confrontation,
, then this will be the final condition.”
"...Then...fight...fight back?"
Tan Ye tentatively spoke, his tone a little unconfident. He typed what he said first, but it felt inappropriate, so he immediately counterattacked.
Fighting mainly refers to armed conflicts in a narrow sense. We have already fought, and we have not taken advantage, let alone talking about it. In fact, the losses are not low.
As for fighting back, it covers a wide range, including armed conflicts, but there are also other methods, but Tan Ye is still not very optimistic about them.
"Accept it!" Takeuchi's reply made Tanino's jaw drop. For a moment, he couldn't believe his ears.
"The higher-ups have already told us not to make a fuss about this matter, to settle it as soon as possible and to rescue the person intact. As for the money, we have already contacted him, so it is not a problem!"
Takeuchi explained that the person had already given a message, asking them to redeem the person and not to make any more noise during this period.
The commotion this time was too big, attracting too many eyes. Although they and the Intelligence Department have not publicized this incident behind the confrontation, some news has been spread, making the person a little passive.
.
Of course, if they can take advantage of the confrontation, it can add some color to the matter, and even save some face for that person. This is the reason why the other party acquiesced to this matter before, but unfortunately they did not, so they can only stop it in time.
Damaged.
In fact, if the news leaks out, the Japanese will have to take some of the blame. It's not that they didn't keep the secret secret well. On the contrary, they did a pretty good job in intelligence-related matters.
But precisely because of this, the Shanghai Station was almost sieved by them. The result was that they had tightly blocked the news, but the Shanghai Station, which had been sieved, almost completely missed the matter.
Of course, in the current situation, Takeuchi is also inclined to complete the redemption matter as soon as possible. In the past, he could take advantage, which was a chess piece that was beneficial to them, but now, this makes them a little timid.
"The conditions must not be agreed directly. The posture must be sufficient. In addition, more testing should be done on the conditions other than the ransom. There may be some plan of the other party behind it..."
Takeuchi gave an explanation, but it was just a brief mention of how to grasp the specifics. Tanano, the person who personally negotiated, knew the specific measurements better.
Tan Ye nodded in agreement. Although he was a little resistant to the result, he could somewhat understand the underlying situation.
After Tanano went down, Takeuchi called Suzuki and Matsushita to inform them of some relevant situations, and their arrangements would have to change according to the situation.
"Are they trying to manipulate the redemption process? Or are there some other conspiracies?"
After listening to the other party's conditions, this was his first feeling, but he was not sure. After all, he had just been tricked backhand. Now, whenever he heard about the other party's actions, he became a little suspicious and nervous.
"I can only see that there is definitely malice behind these conditions, but I can't see through what the other party wants to do for the time being, but no matter what the conspiracy is behind it! We must respond as soon as possible."
Compared with Panasonic's somewhat cynical reaction, Suzuki's judgment was less affected and its suggestions were more objective and reasonable.
Takeuchi is quite satisfied with Suzuki-kun's performance. He was able to recover from the blow so quickly and was rarely affected or disturbed by it. This is not so easy to do.
…
"The foreigners have sent us another contact request. They probably want us to help them eliminate Japanese spies. Do you want to contact them?"
Sha and Shi met again. Yesterday, they left the team halfway and returned to their respective lurking locations to continue lurking.
And because unlike Wang Mingkun, who had many scruples and restrictions, they resumed their activities early this morning.
Now it's time to meet in the evening to communicate and share information with each other, and to discuss future action arrangements.
After listening to Sha Lehai's report, Shi Baocun considered it carefully and finally chose to refuse.
"Although the Japanese have withdrawn, the streets are full of guys running errands for the other side. They are not afraid of each other individually, but they cannot stand up in numbers. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they may need to evacuate the city.
It's a bit outweighing the gains. In addition, this period of time is also quite tiring. Team Lin has given a time limit to take a short break, so let's try to let everyone take a break!
Although these are small tasks, you can’t relax. They are actually quite energy-consuming, and once this deadline passes, there may be another round of high-intensity tasks, so you have to keep your spirits up!”
Sha Ranhai nodded and said: "We have the same attitude. The previous attacks on these people were just incidental to the mission. If we really want to deliberately target them, there is really no need.
At least, it's not worthwhile to go out of your way to do this right now. The Japanese must have made arrangements for the information they have, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it.
As for them themselves, as long as their identity has been leaked and exposed to us, then for us, whether to kill or not is actually a matter of choice, both alive and dead are valuable to us."
"One more thing, I guess there may be bigger moves behind Team Lin, so we need to keep enough energy and wait for orders to be issued. During the rest period, we should pay close attention to the movements in the city and prepare for the upcoming mission."
If the attitude is consistent, it will be easier to handle, but Shi Baocun still added some of his own ideas.
…
"Boss He, why are you coming back so late?"
Because of yesterday's dark clouds and the few drops of yellow urine squeezed out, the ship's boss took a chance and bought a little less ice in order to reduce costs.
The result! The temperature now is only a little lower than yesterday, so the ship owner had no choice but to dock at the ship's trestle for ice and replenish a batch of ice.
When we docked the boat to the shipyard, we happened to bump into Boss He who had had a day off yesterday. The boss of the boat quickly said hello.
"There was a big incident in Shanghai last night. It was said that the Japanese devils were fighting with someone. It was said that the streets were full of dead people. This morning, the newspapers were full of reports about it..."
After scattering a cigarette, He Changwen immediately started blowing the cigarette, holding the report in the newspaper, adding details and words, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
"Boss He... this matter... won't affect our business, right?"
Listening honestly, it was not until after the ice cubes were loaded that the ship's boss took advantage of He Changwen's dry mouth and stopped to seize the opportunity and asked with some anxiety.
"...What are you afraid of..." He Changwen waved his hands indifferently and said: "We are all working hard, who can think highly of us? It might even be embarrassing if we meet us! There is no need to worry.
Besides, I'm not back in good condition, I'm just giving you a return trip, so just go with peace of mind.
However, there are indeed too many interrogations, especially for outsiders, who want to know all the eighteen generations of your ancestors, so it is best to unload the fish at the dock and leave immediately to avoid getting into trouble.
"
Hearing the mixed answers, the ship boss immediately felt relieved. People are like this, they are all good and positive, which can attract some hot-headed people, but there are always many people who will be skeptical.
It was still a period of long-term peace, and the people at this time were definitely more vigilant, and there were more such people. Therefore, such mixed remarks, which were both good and bad, were more credible, at least until they really got to know each other.
Most are more receptive to such rhetoric.
There were also many unintelligent people who came to make up for the ice, not knowing who was learning from whom. Many of them were brought in by He Changwen, and many of them greeted him, which made him quite uncomfortable.
I originally wanted to have a good rest, but who would have expected that I would encounter something like this? I had no choice but to hold on, put on a very energetic look, and go around bragging to show off to others.
Last night, in fact, most of the people in this inn and those responsible for the light and dark tasks along the way secretly left to go to Shanghai to join him.
Their mission is naturally not to directly participate in the battle, but to serve as a reserve team, that is, the final rescue and response team.
Once Lin Mo and others are caught in the action and find it difficult to escape, and the rescue efforts by Sha Ronghai and others are of no avail, that's when they intervene.
Of course, it is not a direct intervention, but reinforcements, including but not limited to Shanghai Station, Du Daxiang, etc., and even contact and guide the police and security forces of SH City to intervene when necessary.
The operation went smoothly. After Lin Mo and others withdrew, they also needed to intervene in time to monitor the Japanese's movements and prevent the other party from jumping over the wall.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, the bad situations they were worried about did not appear, and they successfully completed all the assigned tasks.
Although they were quite eager for the combat mission with guns and cannons blaring, they had no choice but to carry out the mission seriously.
It was not until early this morning that they confirmed that the Japanese were really withdrawing and not preparing to make any big noise, then they evacuated and handed over to Sha Shi.
After putting on a show and covering up last night's actions, everyone showed panic and understood the situation, carefully explored the business opportunities, and after confirming that there were no problems, they started to return.
Along the way, especially near the inn, there are many people talking and saying hello. Affected by the drought and hot weather, cutoffs and falling water levels, the surrounding shipping industry has suffered a lot, so after they opened up this road, the number of people who have gathered so far has
Already quite a lot.
This inn mostly receives people who are disciples, so after a certain period of time, there are almost no people there.
He Changwen took advantage of this time to secretly meet with everyone again, and along the way compiled a report on the operations from night to early morning.
Working so diligently, He Changwen deeply understands the importance of these writing works. He has always been extremely positive and dedicated to this, and has practiced it personally and inspired many people.
Another reason is that he himself, including many of the brothers he brought with him, normally have to undertake a lot of physical work and chores. He won't be able to find time to do these later, so it is better to do them now.
…
"Brother Cheng, do we agree to follow them?"
A lean man with an upright posture and high energy stood at the door, staring at the back of the retreating figure, and asked the fat man beside him who looked slightly tired.
"The conditions they gave are quite sincere!" The fat man hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"These people are not good people either. Brother Cheng, let's not just get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den again!"
It was obvious that this lean man did not have a good impression of the person who had gone far away. Although he did not say anything to death, his attitude was obvious.
"...Sigh..." The fat man sighed, a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Do we have any better choice? Those people are chasing us to death, and if there is no force that can compete, we will not let go."
If we don’t support you from behind, I’m afraid we will have to be homeless dogs for the rest of our lives.
Moreover, the conditions offered by these people are indeed quite sincere. At least in their promises, they clearly stated that they will not interfere with us too much, but will only cooperate with them when necessary. If they can fulfill their promises, this will be very generous to us...
