"Old Xu, I heard that you encountered a situation during the daytime operation? I haven't had a chance to find out what the situation was specifically. "
Li Dingqiao left to deal with other matters. In the factory building temporarily used for command outside the valley, only Lin Mo, Wang Shoufei and Xu Zhiyu were still standing at the long table.
After hearing Lin Mo's inquiry, Xu Zhiyu didn't hide anything and told what happened during the day exactly as it was.
"...A bit of a woman's kindness..." After a moment of silence, Lin Mo shook his head and stated his opinion rudely.
"...I..." Xu Zhiyu naturally knew what Lin Mo was referring to, and wanted to explain it, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them, and he rubbed his hands anxiously.
"There is no need for such a big reaction. I am not denying your idea. There is nothing wrong with having sympathy, mercy, and support for the people. On the contrary, this kind of heart may be good for us.
We people, who have been wandering between life and death for many years, are faced with intrigues and various calculations every moment. You even have to undergo high-intensity training all year round, without any support from ideals, beliefs, desires, etc.
It is difficult to walk for a long time.
But in this matter, your handling method is questionable. You want to use some methods to protect them, but you also know that it is not good to involve them. You failed to grasp the degree of this, and instead made both of them worse.
This is why you, a woman, are said to be benevolent.
The best protection for others is to ignore them and show that you don't care at all, instead of showing it and using other means to cover it up, because if you do, you may be seen through, and if you are seen through, you may harm others.
, which runs counter to the original intention.
Asking people to stab people and corpses and giving money are both bad moves. Not to mention other things, whether stabbing people or corpses, for those people, it is a huge impact and damage to the soul.
Maybe you don’t feel anything now, but think about how you felt the first time you saw a corpse, moved a corpse, or even killed someone? What’s more, when you experienced this, were you still in the living conditions of ordinary people? Your behavior has completely broken them
In normal living conditions, it may take a long time or even a lifetime to heal.
The other thing is to give money. Since you have shown a ruthless side, then you will be ruthless to the end. Why give money? Fortunately, you involved the evil gentry. This is also the first time you have dealt with this kind of thing. You can make these behaviors hypocritical.
Fake love and fake intentions are the best.
In my opinion, in the future, you should be more hard-hearted, and you have to show an attitude of not paying attention to this kind of thing, because you care about what you care about. In the eyes of the enemy, that is a weakness, and a weakness is a place worth targeting and exploiting. The result may be
Exactly the opposite of what you want."
"I understand. I will deal with this situation carefully in the future." Xu Zhiyu felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he nodded solemnly and convinced.
"...Well..." After talking about this, Lin Mo frowned slightly, looked at the time, and said, "Why has it been so long and no news has come through? It shouldn't be?"
Wang Shoufei heard this and interjected: "Is it possible that the other party has guessed our plan and is not ready to come?"
"It is indeed possible!" Lin Mo nodded and said: "But even if you guessed it, there are still two choices, one is not to come directly, the other is to disguise it better and deeper, but I still tend to come."
Lin Mo lay on the map, studied it carefully for a while, and frowned: "Where will they go? What means will they use to confirm the situation after the attack?"
Will it be on the retreat route for those who attack the factory? Cihu River is only a small tributary of the Yangtze River, and it is not connected to other waterways. It is impossible for the other party to take such a risk.
Take the Yangtze River directly? You shouldn’t. The Yangtze River is wide and boats can easily hide their whereabouts. But if you want to go around the Yangtze River and want the people behind you not to investigate, it’s not that easy.
"Shou Fei, go and find Brother Li again. I have some situations that I need to understand."
Lin Mo checked for a while, frowned and ordered Wang Shoufei, then said to Xu Zhiyuyu: "Old Xu, you lead a team to the Lishui River and Rouge River area to conduct an investigation. If you find anything, you can take action according to the situation."
The two discussed for a while and planned the route. Xu Zhiyu immediately led the team and set off to the place pointed by Lin Mo.
"What's going on? You called me back again?" Li Dingqiao asked jokingly with a smile as he walked to Lin Mo who was looking at the map attentively, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Lin Mo smiled bitterly, handed over a cigarette, took two puffs, and said: "After careful study, I found that the waterway crossing is too wide. What we monitor is only the surrounding branches and branches. It is very likely that all
Do not include the opponent's activity path.
And I thought about it carefully and found that if the other party wants to confirm some information or take some actions to make an explanation, they may not need to risk entering our monitoring area.
For example, if we learn about the status of the attackers through other intelligence channels, or if there is a conflict and exchange of fire with me at the edge of the surveillance area, we can explain it after we retreat. No matter what, our current arrangement is basically helpless."
"Then why did you call me here?" Li Dingqiao didn't understand what medicine Lin Mo was selling in the gourd, so he asked directly.
"Wait until I finish!" Lin Mo smiled and continued: "With our current manpower and communication capabilities, it is unrealistic to expand the monitoring scope. And there is no news yet. I think the other party may have roughly figured out these things.
The situation is unreal.
The area covered by the waterway is too large and too wide, and there is no condition to pursue and intercept through the waterway. A better strategy is to try to pinpoint the possible activities of the opponent and use this as an entry point.
The opponent may come to the periphery for a collision, so lean towards the periphery to increase your strength. You may need to mobilize a few of your self-made guys. The surrounding waterways are basically within a hundred meters. If you support one on the shore, you may have the opportunity to exert a big impact.
use.
Another point is that I would like to ask the surrounding people and industries who have relationships with the Japanese, especially those who are Japanese or have Japanese background and relationships with you. They may be related to the attackers. The other party
If you want to get relevant information, you may also contact them."
After hearing this, Li Dingqiao said calmly: "You guys can use whatever you want, and even some people can help you. As for the information you need, some of them have been collected and listed in the previous report. I will go and get them for you."
Not long after, Li Dingqiao rushed back with a stack of information and said: "What we have listed so far, there are hundreds of relevant situations, involving at least hundreds of people."
"So many?" Lin Mo was a little surprised for a moment. He thought that dozens of people could bear the sky, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
"There aren't many around here, but didn't we find the other party's receiving ship in the upper reaches of the Cihu River before? We have expanded the scope there again, and we were just dealing with this matter.
The lower reaches of the Cihu River are in the Ma'anshan area. Due to the many iron mines in the surrounding area, a series of industries such as iron ore trading, smelting and processing have been formed. Many of them have transactions with Japanese businessmen. This is only part of what we know.
, there may be more upon closer inspection.”
"You should have some key suspects, right?" There were so many people that by the time they finished reading, they didn't know where to run away, so Lin Mo asked directly.
"There is a Japanese businessman who has a relationship with us. He wanted to buy the factory here and the new equipment from the original owner at a low price. He did not hesitate to put a lot of thought into this, but in the end we got mixed up.
At first, the other party had people come over to test and contact me, and they also wanted to cause trouble and put pressure on me, but there was no movement later. These are all recent events. As soon as your notice came, we became suspicious of them."
Li Dingqiao directly took out the corresponding information from the pile of information, handed it to Lin Mo, and said: "The information on the relevant situation is not complete yet, and it is lacking and rough, but I have paid attention to the situation of this Japanese businessman before, and I know that it needs to be more complete.
Some."
Lin Mo flipped through it and found that the information was indeed incomplete, just some general things, and some situations were not detailed and in-depth, so he just mentioned it and skipped it.
After putting down the information and thinking for a moment, Lin Mo asked: "Does this Japanese businessman have any processing capabilities? It's a factory that can process metal objects, like a machinery factory or a hardware factory."
Li Dingqiao thought for a moment and said: "I run an iron factory that can produce iron wire, iron nails, hammers, knives, barrels, pots, etc. These Japanese generally only set up factories in China that produce ordinary civilian products, so they should not meet the conditions."
"As for other things related to it, they don't need to be big, but they must have processing capabilities such as cutting, milling, drilling and grinding, and they must have a certain technical level."
"...Wait...milling..." Li Dingqiao recalled it carefully and said: "There is such a place. It is a small machine repair shop that this Japanese businessman invested money and ran in partnership with another person.
It is usually run by another shareholder, and all the employees from mechanics, apprentices and even odd jobs are Japanese. They mainly process and customize some damaged parts for ships and vehicles, machinery and equipment in factories and mines, and perform cutting, planing, milling, drilling and grinding.
All abilities are available.”
"...That can't be wrong..." Lin Mo opened the information again and said: "Let me take a look! It is recorded here that this Japanese businessman once bribed some idle gangsters in Dangtu, put pressure on the original owner to cause sabotage, etc.
, after you took over the factory equipment, you also had activities in the surrounding areas. Do you have detailed information about these people?"
"I'll call the factory director! I haven't paid much attention to these things and don't know much about them. He has had conflicts with these people more than once, and he is a local, so he must know them very clearly."
"Just let him be the guide! I will wait for the whole team to come out immediately. I will leave some people for you as a reserve team. Once there is a firefight somewhere, you will immediately lead people to support and convey the situation in time. I can't be there
I’ll continue to stay later.”
"...Okay..." Li Dingqiao's steps faltered, he turned around and nodded in agreement, and trotted out of the factory. He didn't expect Lin Mo to be so decisive.
In the factory, Lin Mo also asked Wang Shoufei to gather the team members immediately, and then assigned a three-person team to stay, taking the remaining six people and some members of the third team with him. As soon as the factory director arrived, he immediately got on his bicycle and set off. Fortunately, the factory director
