Li Yi was shocked. With a shipload of munitions, Japan was preparing for a big war.
Chen Qimei paused and continued: "In order to deceive others, this arms transport is not a warship, but an ordinary cargo ship. Japan plans to use them to arm the expatriates and ronin in Shanghai, so as to catch us by surprise."
Li Yizhi nodded. The Japanese wanted to have someone behind them, so naturally they couldn't make a big show of it.
Therefore, not only was the ship an ordinary cargo ship, even the army could not be transferred from Japan. It could only arm the expatriates and ronin in Shanghai.
Li Yizhi pondered and said: "Now that we know their plan, it should be easy to deal with it next. As long as we blow up the Japanese arms ship, without arms, they will be toothless tigers."
Chen Qimei nodded and said: "After we learned the news, we were also ready to implement this plan. But the general counsel also knew that although the transport ship was an ordinary cargo ship, it was arms after all, so there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers escorting it.
It’s not easy for us to blow up the transport ship.”
Li Yizhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Chen's Green Gang has so many gangs that even I can easily find it. It is not easy to capture a transport ship guarded by a hundred Japanese soldiers."
Chen Qimei didn't seem to hear the irony in Li Yizhi's words, and sighed: "Hey, if it were normal times, I would naturally have a hundred ways to blow up the arms ship. But the general adviser doesn't know. According to Mr. Sun's decision, we
At twelve o'clock tonight, twelve southern provinces will start an uprising at the same time. Therefore, all the personnel in Shanghai already have tasks, and it is really impossible to mobilize people who can complete this task."
Li Yizhi was shocked and said: "What, you are going to start an uprising tonight?"
"That's right. It's just a coincidence. If the arms ship cannot be blown up before tonight, then tomorrow the Japanese will be able to arm tens of thousands of troops. We may not be their opponents. By then, Mr. Sun's plan may be defeated.
A major setback.”
Chen Qimei looked helpless and secretly observed Li Yizhi with her eyes.
Li Yizhi's eyes flashed and he said in a serious voice: "So, Mr. Chen is going to let me complete this matter?"
Blowing up an arms ship is a matter of narrow escape.
Not to mention the hundreds of heavily armed Japanese soldiers, the transport ship was parked at sea, and there were other Japanese soldiers guarding the dock. Even if the arms ship was blown up, it would be very difficult to escape.
After all, in this era, there are no time bombs. You can sneak in secretly, then sneak out again, and then wait for the explosion.
Chen Qimei said in a deep voice: "We have no choice, because we can't mobilize the manpower and a storm is impossible, so we decided to have a martial arts master sneak into the ship, detonate the arms warehouse, and then throw himself into the sea to escape. As far as we know,
, the general counsel is a great master of An Jin and is the best person to complete this task."
Li Yizhi looked at Chen Qimei, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled playfully.
No matter how high-sounding Chen Qimei's words were, in Li Yizhi's view, the other party was deliberately asking him to die, so how could he agree.
As a warrior's intuition, he felt Chen Qimei's vigilance and malice towards him when they first met.
Therefore, when talking to Chen Qimei, Li Yizhi would not hide his disgust for Chen Qimei.
Chen Qimei looked at Li Yizhi's playful smile and her expression froze.
Anger rose in his heart, but he suppressed it and said in a deep voice: "General Counselor, this is related to the future of the country and the nation. You won't ignore it, right?"
Li Yizhi just said lightly: "There are still more than ten hours until dawn tomorrow. I believe Mr. Chen can definitely think of other ways."
Chen Qimei's face darkened and she said again: "This is an order given by Mr. Sun himself. I have already reported it. Mr. Sun personally agreed to it. This is a telegram."
After receiving the telegram from Chen Qimei, Li Yizhi felt particularly dazzling. His mood fluctuated and his face changed.
He really didn't expect that Mr. Sun would actually give him such a fatal order. Fortunately, he helped the other party make suggestions and made plans to change the situation.
Could it be that politicians are born to be so hypocritical and ruthless?
If this matter was just Chen Qimei's unilateral intention, Li Yizhi would naturally ignore it. He did not want to use his own life to achieve the other party's career.
But Mr. Sun is different.
This difference does not mean that Li Yizhi is loyal to Mr. Sun, but that he is loyal to the oath he once made.
Martial arts is the national highway!
Mr. Sun's order is also not his own order, but an order for the fate of the country and the nation. He, Li Yizhi, simply cannot refuse.
Otherwise, his belief in martial arts will collapse. Let alone breaking through to the point of becoming powerful, I am afraid that he will live in confusion in the future.
"Life or death, that is the question."
Li Yizhi suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence, because the actual consequences of the two were not much different.
Life is worse than death;
Death is the complete end.
After a long time, Li Yizhi took a deep breath. He stood up and said expressionlessly: "I will take over this matter. Tell Mr. Sun for me that from now on, he and the Tongmeng will be together.
Nothing to do with it anymore.”
Chen Qimei was overjoyed, but she didn't show it. He stood up hurriedly, looking grateful, and said: "General Counselor, I will report your contribution to you when the time comes. By the way, by the way, it won't be over yet."
Black, let’s take action now. The coolies at the Shanghai dock are all under the control of our Qinggang. You can disguise yourself as a coolie and sneak into the transport ship while transporting supplies."
Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said. But before that, I'll write a letter first and you can send it to Chen Zhen for me."
"Okay. General Counselor, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to prepare pen and paper."
Chen Qimei said and walked out, and soon shopkeeper Zuo brought pen and paper.
The letter Li Yizhi wrote to Chen Zhen did not mention tonight's mission.
He just told Chen Zhen that if he didn't show up before sunset tomorrow, then his mansion and all the money hidden somewhere would be given to Chen Zhen.
Regarding tonight's action, Li Yizhi was almost determined to die. It would be best if he could come back.
If not, some funeral arrangements must be made.
After handing the letter to shopkeeper Zuo, Li Yizhi followed a member of the Youth Gang and left the Sanwei Teahouse.
Shopkeeper Zuo watched Li Yizhi leave and was about to deliver a letter for Li Yizhi, but was stopped by Chen Qimei, saying: "Leave this letter to me, I'll have someone deliver it later."
Shopkeeper Zuo handed the envelope to Chen Qimei without thinking too much, and then went out to get busy.
Chen Qimei walked into the secret room with a cold smile on her face.
He took out his matchbox, struck a match, and lit the envelope.
Looking at the burning envelope, Chen Qimei smiled mockingly and said to herself: "So what if the General Counsel is not a reckless man? He was fooled by just a fake telegram. Revolutions always bleed, and that bleeding is natural.
It is the blood of you people. As for Mr. Zuo, just contribute to the revolution."
