After a sleepless night, Xu Rui and the others waited until dawn the next day before Shanghai Special Committee Secretary Du Xingcai brought Wu Han, the head of the Special Committee, to the Xingya Hotel. Both Du Xing and Wu Han looked exhausted, but their expressions were very exciting.
I’m not excited now, because the equipment of the pharmaceutical factory and chemical factory has been successfully shipped!
After entering the door, Du Xing couldn't suppress the joy on his face and said: "Commander Xu, all the equipment disguised as cotton and cotton gauze bags have been loaded on the ship and started!"
Hearing this, everyone present burst into cheers!
Because with the shipment of the equipment, this operation is already half successful!
Next, as long as the American freighter "Atlanta" is not intercepted by Japanese navy warships, as long as the Atlanta successfully sails to the vicinity of Jiangxinzhou, the entire action plan will be completed. And based on the current relationship between the Japanese government and the U.S. government,
The chance of the Atlanta being intercepted is extremely small.
After all, the little devil didn't know that this batch of goods had been repackaged, let alone that the cotton gauze bags that had been repackaged actually contained a complete set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a chemical factory.
"Long live!"
"Very good!"
"Well done!"
Zuanshan Bao and the others couldn't help but cheer.
Even Xiao Taohong couldn't help clenching her pink fists.
Xu Rui was equally excited, but said: "Don't be too happy yet, after all, the Atlanta has just weighed anchor, and it will take at least thirty hours for it to sail to Jiangxinzhou!"
"Thirty hours? That's not right." Du Xing said, "Twenty hours is enough."
Duchenne once took the ferry from Shanghai to Nanjing, and it took less than twenty hours.
"Isn't this a higher requirement for me?" Xu Rui just laughed and dropped the topic.
Xu Rui did not tell Du Xing that the Atlanta would have to be delayed for more than ten hours near Fushan, because there was another batch of important supplies to be boarded there. This batch of important supplies was brought by Leng Tiefeng from the vault of the Eight-Nation Bank.
The more than one million taels of gold that were escorted out sank in Yangcheng Lake.
The reason why Leng Tiefeng and Xu Ruibing split up in the first place was to stay and salvage gold.
If everything goes well, the veterans should have fished the gold ashore.
So now, they should rush to Baoxing as soon as possible to join the main force of the Wolf Fang Team!
At that moment, Xu Rui said to Du Xing: "Secretary Du, the arrested comrades have been returned safely, and the equipment of the pharmaceutical factory and chemical plant have been loaded on the ship. In other words, our mission in Shanghai has been completed. What's next?
, we must rush to Baoxing Town, Wuxi as soon as possible to carry out the next stage of combat missions."
Du Xing also said: "Originally, I was thinking of finding a place to celebrate tonight, but since Commander Xu and Langya's comrades still have missions, I won't let you stay."
Xu Rui and all the Langya players came over to shake hands with Du Xing and Wu Han one by one.
When shaking hands with Wu Han, Xu Rui said: "Comrade Wu Han, I believe we will meet again."
Wu Han hummed and shook hands with Xu Rui vigorously. After all, he still couldn't make the trip this time. Wu Han still felt a little regretful, but he quickly adjusted his mood and shook hands with Zhuan Shanbao, Han Feng and a few others.
After Zhuanshanbao shook hands, he gave Wu Han a bear hug and said, "Next time we meet, I will give you a Mauser 98k sniper rifle. That guy will be happy."
Wu Han nodded vigorously: "A gentleman's words."
"Hurry up and whip the horse!" Zhuanshan Leopard punched Wu Han's chest hard and said, "Take care!"
"Take care of yourself too." Wu Han punched the mountain leopard back and said, "I look forward to fighting side by side with you again."
Du Xing and Wu Han sent Xu Rui and the seven people downstairs, and helped call seven rickshaws. Then they watched the seven people in the rickshaws gradually go away, disappearing into the crowd of people who got up early, until the rickshaws were no longer visible.
, Wu Hancai said: "Secretary Du, did Commander Xu forget something?"
Du Xing said casually: "What's the matter?"
Wu Han whispered: "He hasn't paid for that batch of cotton cloth and cotton yarn yet."
"What are you talking about?" Du Xing said, "They are all members of the family, why do you think so clearly?"
"It's not clear." Wu Han said anxiously, "This is the annual activity fund of our special department."
Du said in a waning tone, "I'll just apply to the higher-level party organization for you. I won't lose anything to you."
"That's not possible." Wu Han said, "Commander Xu has not paid off the equipment payment he owes to Far Eastern Corporation. That's one thousand taels of gold, and we can't get it out at all."
"What are you talking about? The equipment payment has not been paid in full?" Three black lines immediately appeared on Duxing's forehead.
"Definitely not paid." Wu Han said, "The equipment was only loaded on the ship early this morning. Before that, Commander Xu was unlikely to pay Edwards for the equipment in advance, but now, Commander Xu and the others went directly to the train station.
The Wanguo Hotel where Edwards stayed was in another direction, completely opposite."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Commander Xu must have forgotten." After Du Xing said this, he ran after him.
However, within two steps of chasing him, a rickshaw turned back from the front. Wasn't it Xu Rui who was sitting in the car?
Xu Rui got out of the car, handed a key in his hand to Du Xing, and said, "Secretary Du, I'm so sorry. I left in such a hurry just now and almost forgot about my business. This is the safe of Citibank."
The keys, the equipment payment due to Sir Edwards and the payment you previously made for the goods, totaling one thousand three hundred taels of gold, are all in the safe."
Wu Han followed him and happened to hear this sentence. He was startled and almost bit his tongue.
They also had to pay Edwards one thousand taels of gold for the equipment, but Commander Xu deposited one thousand three hundred taels of gold in the Citibank safe and said that the rest was to compensate them for the goods. In other words, the remaining
The three hundred taels of gold I bought were all for their Shanghai Special Committee. This was too much.
Three hundred taels of gold, according to the international gold price, is worth 10,500 US dollars!
If we follow the official exchange rate between the US dollar and legal tender, this is 42,000 legal tender! This is still the official exchange rate. If it is traded on the black market, it can be exchanged for at least more than 50,000 legal tender! Because after the fall of Songhu, the National Government’s tax sources were almost exhausted.
, had no choice but to print a large amount of legal currency, which led to a sharp devaluation of legal currency.
In short, Xu Rui gave too much money.
Du Xing also said: "Commander Xu, you have given me too much."
"It's just a small amount of money." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Just think of it as the funds used by our Dameishan Military Division to support the Shanghai Special Committee. Secretary Du can't be too little."
After saying that, Xu Rui got in the car.
(Dividing line)
These three hundred taels are indeed just a small amount of money for the Dameishan Military Division.
Because at the same time, another huge amount of gold had been obtained.
In a small river branch between Changshu and Fushan Town, two awning boats were moving forward slowly. These two awning boats were traveling through a very hidden waterway.
The rivers in southern Jiangsu are criss-crossed and the water network is densely covered. There are many such waterways.
However, as the sky gradually gets brighter, the number of ships passing by in the river gradually increases. Even in such a hidden waterway, there are still many ships passing by. During the meeting, most of the passing ships will throw their weight at the two awning boats.
At a glance, I was surprised. Because the two awning boats had a very deep draft, I knew at a glance that they must be carrying heavy objects!
Looking at the surprised looks from the passing ships, Leng Tiefeng's eyes were gloomy.
Because no one can guarantee that among the boatmen of these passing ships, no one will inform the Japanese! If someone is jealous of money and informs the nearby Japanese for a few rewards, it will be a big trouble. Leng Tiefeng is not afraid of those nearby.
With the Japanese and puppet troops in several strongholds, he was afraid that the secrets on the ship would be leaked!
Because the ship contained a full two hundred thousand taels of gold!
Two hundred thousand taels of gold is more than twelve thousand kilograms, six tons!
Once the devils know that these two ships are loaded with six tons of gold, the devils from several nearby counties and even the entire Songhu area will definitely swarm in. Although their wolf fangs can fight, they cannot defeat them with just fifty people.
Thousands of Japs will not be able to save not only these six tons of gold, but also the other twenty-four tons of gold that have been fished out and transported to Fushan Town for hiding. If this is the case, it will be a huge loss.
.
But Leng Tiefeng could not kill the passing boatmen.
No matter what, these are genuine Chinese people. As soldiers, their duty is to protect the people, not to kill the disabled. Therefore, such a thing cannot be done under any circumstances.
Therefore, the only thing Leng Tiefeng can do now is to hold the pole as hard as he can.
Half an hour later, the two awning boats finally arrived at their destination. The donkeys of the third group of snipers imitated the braying of wild donkeys twice. Two wild ducks brayed immediately in the reed swamp opposite. Hearing the braying of wild ducks, Leng Tiefeng decisively led the way.
The two awning boats knocked away the reeds and slowly sailed into the depths of the reed swamp.
In the deepest part of this reed marsh, there is a small piece of land.
This piece of land has become Langya's temporary gold hiding place. A group of soldiers are guarding it with firepower. Only a proven Red Army veteran like the soldier, Leng Tiefeng, dares to rest assured of the important task of guarding the gold.
Leng Tiefeng would not be at ease if it were handed over to him and replaced by someone else, even a veteran such as a Siberian tiger or a boa constrictor.
This is not to say that Leng Tiefeng cannot trust Siberian tigers or boa constrictors, but it is because the amount of this batch of gold is so large that it can drive most people crazy!
The veteran obviously lived up to Leng Tiefeng's trust and performed his duties well.
As soon as he stepped onto the land, Leng Tiefeng asked Ding Bing, "Ding Bing, is everything okay?"
"No." The soldier shook his head and said, "What can happen in this place where birds don't poop?"
After a pause, the soldier continued to ask: "Veteran, why are you here so much later than the previous times? Have you brought breakfast? Brothers are all starving."
