Commander Chen was not pretentious at all. Since he decided to cooperate with Li Hao unconditionally, he asked directly without any nonsense.
"Comrade Li Hao, what do you want us to do tomorrow? Is it to build walls and warehouses?"
Li Hao affirmed: "Yes, Chief."
"In addition to the more than two thousand people you brought, I also spent a thousand yuan to buy raw materials, summoned nearby masons to work together, and built the walls and warehouses in the shortest possible time."
"A thousand dollars?" Commander Chen was confused.
Then he sighed with emotion: "You are so generous. You only need so many oceans to build a few warehouses and a wall."
"If it were placed in the base area, even two hundred yuan might not be used up."
Li Hao smiled bitterly and replied: "Chief, there is nothing we can do about it."
"Time is too tight, and there can't be any problems with those weapons and ammunition. I can only spend money on them."
"As the saying goes, money can make all the difference, and problems that can be solved with money are definitely not problems."
"This batch of weapons and ammunition is too important. If you miss this opportunity, you will not be able to buy it in the future even if you have money."
"So as long as I can ensure the safety of this batch of weapons and ammunition, I am willing to spend 10,000 oceans."
"good!"
Commander Chen affirmed: "I agree with your point of view."
"Compared to letting comrades fight for their lives, I am more willing to spend money. If the money is gone, we can earn it again, but the lives of the soldiers are gone."
"Now that the temporary placement of this batch of weapons and ammunition has been solved, the next thing that needs to be solved is transportation, which is also the most difficult part to ensure safety in the entire process."
"The trading point is at the pier. From the pier to here, there are more than ten kilometers in the urban area of Chongqing."
"It's a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are forces from all sides."
"If there is even the slightest problem during the transportation process, news about this batch of weapons and ammunition will spread throughout Chongqing early the next morning."
"The Japanese and puppet troops will definitely destroy this batch of weapons and ammunition at all costs and prevent them from entering the front line."
"The trouble will be big by then. They will definitely deploy heavy troops on our return journey and wait for us to fall into their trap."
"Comrade Li Hao, you have stayed here for a long time and are familiar with the situation."
"Do you think it's possible to move troops into Chongqing and escort them directly from the dock to prevent anyone from getting close to these weapons and ammunition?"
"no!"
Li Hao decisively refused.
"Without orders, the troops' rash progress is no different from rebellion. The city defense garrison will treat us as rebels and eliminate us on the spot."
"We have paid a huge price to move so many troops to the surrounding areas of Chongqing. It is absolutely impossible to enter the city."
"And even if the troops can enter the city, we can't."
"Heavy troops were dispatched to protect a batch of pharmaceutical equipment and raw materials. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that there is no 300 taels of silver here and there is something wrong with it."
"So in order to keep this batch of weapons and ammunition secret and prevent people from focusing on it, not only can we not send heavy troops, but we also have to pretend that it has nothing to do with us and try not to participate, so that everyone will think that these things are not important."
Commander Chen frowned and asked, "How can this be done? If you don't participate, how can you ensure the safety of these weapons and ammunition? It's too risky."
"And if we don't participate, who will help us deliver the things from the dock to here?"
Li Hao quickly explained: "Chief, when I say non-participation, I only mean not participating in transportation in the name of the army."
"I applied to form a factory protection team in the name of building a pharmaceutical factory. The team is the most elite commando team in the garrison, and their combat effectiveness is very strong."
"Including the third detachment of the garrison commando team and the reconnaissance company brought by the chief of staff, there are more than fifty people in total."
"I would like to ask the chief to send out 200 elite escort troops, all put on civilian clothes, and disperse into Chongqing in the name of the factory protection team to protect the safety of this batch of weapons and ammunition along the way."
"As for how exactly this batch of weapons and ammunition was transported, who is responsible for transporting it?"
"It's still the old way of solving it with money."
"I plan to spend 10,000 US dollars, which is 20,000 oceans, to escort this batch of weapons and ammunition."
Commander Chen thoughtfully asked: "You want to bribe and manage the troops and officials along the way. There will be no one to check or cause trouble on the way. Is this a good idea?"
"No?" Li Hao shook his head and replied.
"I plan to write 10,000 US dollars to hire someone to help us transport this batch of weapons and ammunition."
"As long as they take action, no matter what kind of monsters or monsters they are, they will definitely not dare to approach the transport team."
"Coupled with our people protecting them in the dark, we can ensure their safety."
Commander Chen asked with disbelief: "Who is it? So capable in Chongqing?"
"Is it the city defense commander? No, even if the city defense commander takes action, he can't stop those pervasive intelligence agents."
"How can Americans help us and do things for us when they have nothing to do with us?" Commander Chen retorted subconsciously.
Li Hao was as confident as ever: "Chief, don't forget that they are a capitalist country."
"In their eyes, as long as the benefits are great enough, they are willing to do anything illegal and disciplined, and they don't care who they do it for."
"I will go find them to cooperate tomorrow. Building the wall and repairing the warehouse here can only be left to you, the chief. It must be completed before dark the day after tomorrow."
In Lieutenant Colonel Jack's office, Li Hao didn't talk nonsense and directly explained his purpose.
"Jack: I want to know how many Americans, British and French people you know in Chongqing!"
"There must be forty!" Jack didn't hide anything and thought for a moment before answering.
"That's almost enough!" Li Hao affirmed.
Then he stared at Jack and continued: "I have a business with them here. To be precise, I have an opportunity to make money."
"For depriving each of them of a night's rest, I will give each of them two hundred dollars, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for many of them, or even longer."
Jack waited for a pair of big eyes and asked: "Are you sure you will be paid two hundred dollars a night?"
"Sure!" Li Hao affirmed.
After thinking for a while, he added: "And what I want them to do is very simple, and it will definitely not break the law or discipline."
"They will definitely agree!" Jack replied without thinking.
"Captain Li, please tell me what is going on and can I get involved? You have to know that two hundred dollars is a lot of wealth to me."
Li Hao nodded and replied: "Of course, and you are also the organizer of the whole thing. As my friend, your reward is one thousand US dollars."
Jack's eyes immediately started to shine, and he agreed on the spot: "I agree."
"I knew you would surprise me every time you came here."
"What on earth is going on? For this thousand dollars, even if I am forced to break the law and discipline, I am willing to do it."
"Help me transport the equipment and materials that are about to be delivered to the pharmaceutical factory!" Li Hao no longer concealed anything.
"Jack, you should know: Chongqing is too chaotic, and our production of penicillin involves a lot of secrets, so the equipment and raw materials inside must not be leaked, especially the Japanese."
"This means that after the items arrive at the dock, you need to keep an eye on them at all times and not let anyone get close to them, and then send them all the way to the pharmaceutical factory outside the city. Then we will pay for them at the pharmaceutical factory and deliver the goods."
"Two hundred dollars for others, one thousand dollars for you."
"Buy it! Captain Li, the US dollars in your hand are so profitable, it's just a waste of money. I agree, and my friends will definitely agree too."
"And I would do it even if I didn't have this thousand dollars."
"Because he is related to our pharmaceutical factory, and I still have shares in the pharmaceutical factory, I also expect him to make money for me and make me a rich man. Therefore, I will never let the secrets of penicillin production leak out and destroy
