Seeing that Chen Xiucheng did not pursue the case, Li Yunsheng let out a sigh of relief, and then continued to ask: "Commander, would you like me to think of a way to get the weapons out of the concession?"
Chen Xiucheng immediately said: "Don't be ridiculous. These foreigners are not Japanese. Now the government is preparing to ask the League of Nations to mediate. It is precisely when these foreigners are used that they cannot be dissatisfied."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Commander, many foreigners are profit-seeking people. As long as we give them some benefits, they will sell things to us."
Chen Xiucheng thought for a while and thought it would be okay to give it a try, so he said, "You can give it a try, but you can't cause any trouble. And the most important task is to attack the Japanese supply lines."
Li Yunsheng reluctantly nodded in agreement, then asked some additional questions from the troops and left the Corps headquarters.
After returning to the station, Li Yunsheng was a little annoyed. He was a little embarrassed when he thought that Chen Xiucheng wanted him to attack the Japanese supply line. After all, the current situation was too dangerous. Even if he could attack, there was no way out. After all, the battle line was too long.
.
At this time, Zhang Hao came over and asked: "Section Chief, how is the situation? What did the commander say?"
Li Yunsheng said irritably: "Let us attack the Japanese supply lines."
Seeing Li Yunsheng's expression, Zhang Hao guessed that this might be the result, so he sighed and said: "Section Chief, this is fine, we are just trying to find a way. Anyway, attacking the Japanese supply line is much better than going to the front line.
"
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "That's true, but now the battle line is too long, and the French Concession's escape route has been discovered again. After our attack, it will be very difficult to safely evacuate."
Zhang Hao also understood this, but he had no choice, so he said nothing.
Seeing that Zhang Hao had nothing to do, Li Yunsheng thought for a while and came up with an idea. He decided to take out all the medicines and weapons he had purchased. This might impress Chen Xiucheng and make him realize that the value of his smuggling was better than attacking Japan.
The older you are, the more you will focus on smuggling.
After having this idea, Li Yunsheng asked Zhang Hao to stay at the station to deal with trivial matters, while he took the Zhou brothers to the public concession to find Li Yuntao.
When Li Yuntao saw Li Yunsheng suddenly coming to him, he asked, "Why are you here? What happened?"
The reason why Li Yuntao asked like this was because he knew that the war in Shanghai was tense now, and Li Yunsheng was a soldier. If it was a small matter, he could just send a telegram.
Hearing Li Yuntao's words, Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Second brother, can you still transport war necessities such as medicines into Shanghai now?"
Li Yuntao shook his head and sighed: "The war is tense now, so many people don't want to transport supplies to Shanghai. After all, the Japanese have a bad reputation. Even ships from neutral countries have huge risks, so I can't do this at all."
a little."
Li Yunsheng thought to himself that it seemed that he could only rely on Smith, so he said softly: "Then please contact Smith and ask him to meet with me as soon as possible."
This was very easy. Li Yuntao made a phone call without hesitation, put down the phone and said, "Smith is in Shanghai and will be here in a minute."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then he was thinking about how to ask Smith to try his best to smuggle items to Shanghai, and the most important thing is that the price of smuggling should not be too high.
After more than half an hour, Smith walked in with a smile. As soon as they met, he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you want to see me for."
Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "I came to Mr. Smith this time, firstly to ask about my batch of weapons, and secondly to ask. Last time we said we would continue doing business, I don't know how your preparations are."
After hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Smith said: "That batch of weapons will be returned to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, and Mr. Li can take it away at any time." Then he changed the subject and said: "But it is not easy to transport arms to Shanghai again.
"
Li Yunsheng said solemnly: "We are all doing the same arms business, how can there be problems?"
Smith said with a smile: "It's not about other things. We don't have a lot of arms, and if we want to transport them from home, the distance is too far, it will take a long time, and the risks are higher, so some people don't agree with it.
.”
Hearing that this was the reason, Li Yunsheng thought for a while and then said: "What about the Philippines? As far as I know, you should have a lot of war preparation materials in the Philippines. At this time, you can definitely sell them."
Smith shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, the Philippines is not under the jurisdiction of our Pacific Fleet, so we cannot use their things."
Li Yunsheng rolled his eyes and had an idea, and then said softly: "Mr. Smith, if I guess correctly, some big shots among you should be involved in this batch of arms."
Smith immediately became alert and asked seriously: "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing that Smith was alert, Li Yunsheng quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no other intention, I just want to give you an idea."
Smith said in confusion: "Give me an idea, what is it?"
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "Since there are big people involved, it will be easy to handle. You can use the name of the Pacific Fleet to borrow some supplies from the Philippines, then transport them to Shanghai, and then buy them from China and return them.
The Philippines is doing well."
Smith thought for a while and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Li's mind is really flexible. It is possible to do this, but this matter is not something I can make the decision. It needs to be decided by the big shots above."
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "They have already done smuggling arms. They should have no problem doing the same thing again. After all, the current price is much higher than before, and no one can live with the US dollar." Then the conversation changed.
Said: "If Mr. Smith can facilitate this matter and the price is better than last time, I can give you half of the discounted price as a thank you."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Smith began to think deeply, and after a while he said: "That's true, but Mr. Li is really smart, and he actually used this method to share my interests, so that you can save money.
A lot of money."
Li Yunsheng said happily: "In this way, Mr. Smith can also get some benefits. Otherwise, wouldn't you be jealous seeing those people above making a fortune?"
Smith smiled unnaturally, and then said calmly: "Okay, I will try my best to facilitate this matter."
Seeing Smith's look, Li Yunsheng guessed that he was tempted, so he stopped talking about the issue. Then the two of them agreed on when to hand over the arms, and Smith said goodbye and left.
After Smith left, Li Yuntao said with a smile: "Yunsheng, you are really good at it. You actually used this method. It seems that you can save another sum of money."
Li Yunsheng said disdainfully: "These foreigners are no different from us. They are all profit-seeking. As long as they have the opportunity, they will naturally not give up."
Li Yuntao nodded, very much in agreement with this statement, and then asked doubtfully: "Yunsheng, we have a lot of medicines in hand, enough for your people, why do you still buy them from Smith's?"
Li Yunsheng explained the reason, and then said: "Only if the people above realize the value of my smuggling can I be safe."
After listening to Li Yunsheng's words, Li Yuntao persuaded him: "Yunsheng, if you really can't do it, just take off your military uniform. It's too dangerous to be a soldier."
Li Yunsheng shook his head and said firmly: "I will be more careful and will not get into danger easily."
When he came to this time and space, Li Yunsheng planned to do something for this troubled country, and with this military uniform, it was easier to do anything. In addition, Li Yunsheng finally reached the position of colonel and section chief of the Secret Service. How?
Will give up easily.
Seeing Li Yunsheng's firm attitude, Li Yuntao stopped trying to persuade him, and then asked: "What do you mean, you want all the medicines in our hands to be sold to the National Government at a fair price."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this can reflect my value." It turned out that Li Yunsheng planned to send this batch of medicines out when Shanghai was in short supply of medicines, and now he was able to kill two birds with one stone.
Li Yuntao nodded, and then the two of them discussed how to hand over the batch of medicines. After the discussion, Li Yunsheng returned to Shanghai.
After returning to the station, Zhang Hao asked: "Section Chief, how is the situation?
Li Yunsheng nodded and said happily: "It should be no problem." The reason why Li Yunsheng was sure was from Smith's attitude, and this matter was not particularly difficult.
Zhang Hao finally relaxed a little after hearing this answer, and then said: "If this can be done, our situation will be much better, and Commander Chen will look at us differently."
Li Yunsheng also agrees with this point. After all, people must be valuable before people above them will take a fancy to you.
Early the next morning, several cars drove to Li Yunsheng's residence. The cars came from the public concession, and they were the medicines sent by Li Yuntao.
After Li Yunsheng made the handover, he said to Zhang Hao: "Please count them carefully and then put them in a separate place."
Zhang Hao nodded and immediately led people to do the counting. After about half an hour, the counting was completed. Then he wrote a list and came to Li Yunsheng to report: "Section Chief, the statistics have been done."
The list was handed over.
Li Yunsheng took it and looked at it for a few times, then said uncertainly: "I don't know if these things can impress Commander Chen."
Zhang Hao said confidently: "Section Chief, I think Commander Chen must be good at things. After all, if there is a smuggling channel, a steady stream of in-demand materials will be transported to Shanghai. This will help the war effort more than hundreds of us."
Much bigger.”
Li Yunsheng thought so too, so he went out with the list.
