Chapter five hundred and seventy-four: their calculations
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the young man surnamed Wang returned to the North China District Headquarters of the Military Command and reported the situation to Li Yunsheng and Xu Bing face to face: "District Chief, the other party's situation is somewhat abnormal..."
Soon the young man surnamed Wang gave a complete introduction to the meeting process, but he did not express his thoughts, and then stood there, waiting for Li Yunsheng's instructions.
As soon as the young man named Wang finished speaking, Xu Bing immediately spoke: "District Chief, judging from the other party's performance, there should be some problems, but the other party may not be sent by the Japanese?"
"Why did you say that?"
Li Yunsheng's expression was very dull, and one could not tell any attitude.
"If they were traitors sent by the Japanese, their purpose must be to find counterfeit banknotes, but what we proposed was a U.S. dollar transaction. Logically speaking, they should not agree!"
Because he was not at the scene, many details could not be explained clearly, so Xu Bing made this judgment.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Li Yunsheng had a different view than Xu Bing, and then turned to ask the young man named Wang: "You are the person involved, what do you think the other person's background is?"
"District Chief, I think the other party should be sent by the Japanese, because the other party's attitude is not very urgent.
And they claim to be from other places, but if that’s true, they should be very anxious to sell the gold.”
The young man surnamed Wang is the person involved. He is very smart and naturally has his own judgment. Therefore, based on some circumstances, he thinks that the other party is very problematic.
"What you said makes sense. If bandits from other places really wanted to sell this batch of gold, they would be very anxious.
And their unhurried manner is a bit like fishing..."
Li Yunsheng agreed very much with the opinion of the young man named Wang, and his tone was very disdainful. He wondered what kind of idiot could come up with such an idea. Could it be that I am so stupid that I would be fooled by this?
"District Chief, how do you explain the transaction? After all, if you exchange gold for US dollars, the Japanese can't find anything?"
Xu Bing was still a little puzzled because she had fallen into a misunderstanding and believed that the Japanese were doing this to look for clues about counterfeit banknotes so that they could follow the lead and catch the military commander.
"It's very simple, because those traitors have other thoughts. They may want to make a fortune, or they may want to take advantage of others!"
When he said these words again, Li Yunsheng squinted his eyes, and there was a calculating expression on his face.
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, a kind of admiration appeared on the face of the young man named Wang, because he thought the same thing, but he had the situation at hand and could only judge this based on the traitor's expression.
Li Yunsheng did not visit the scene in person, nor did he have contact with several traitors. He was able to judge this situation only by relying on his oral report, which naturally impressed him.
Xu Bing, on the other hand, had an expression of sudden realization, because she also knew that the Japanese and traitors were not good people, and she would not let go of this opportunity to make money or take advantage of others.
"District Chief, what you are saying is that as long as someone trades with them, regardless of whether counterfeit money is involved or not, the enemy will take advantage of them!"
"Yes, after all, these devils and traitors are not good people. They can do anything?"
Li Yunsheng knew the style of the Japanese and traitors very well, so he guessed the opponent's plan so quickly.
"District Chief, what should we do?"
Although Xu Bing had determined where the other party was coming from and knew it was a trap, Xu Bing still didn't know what Li Yunsheng was thinking.
"What happened this time is different from the little devil's style. The people who came forward were all new faces. I think this matter may have something to do with the traitor."
Li Yunsheng's eyes revealed some dangerous looks, because if Wu Baozhong was presiding over this matter, then there would be a chance to get rid of him.
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Xu Bing's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "District Chief, you mean, we use this transaction as a cover to kill Wu Baozhong!"
"That's right. We'll summon all the action personnel tonight and stand by near the transaction location. Once this traitor really shows up, we'll see if there's any chance of getting rid of him."
Li Yunsheng's tone was firm. After all, the sooner the traitors were eradicated, the better. Now that he had a chance, how could he not take action?
"District Chief, this matter was originally a trap. If this traitor comes forward, he will definitely be fully prepared. If we want to achieve our goal, it can be said that we have to pull out teeth from the tiger's mouth!"
Xu Bing also wanted to eradicate the traitors as soon as possible, but this incident was originally designed by the Japanese. Even if his side tried to use their plan, it would be very dangerous.
"It's not that dangerous. After all, the other party is looking for clues about us, so they will definitely think that we are planning to use counterfeit money to buy gold, but Xiao Wang's approach will make the enemy confused.
In this case, the enemy may not go all out, after all, they cannot be sure that it is the military commander who is dealing with them, and they may only think that this is an ordinary gangster attack."
Li Yunsheng's tone was full of confidence. After all, the current situation is that the enemy is overt and we are in the dark, and there is a possibility of success in this matter.
"District Chief, will the traitor Wu Baozhong come forward? If he doesn't come, our trouble will be in vain."
This matter was filled with too many uncertainties, so Xu Bing was a little worried, because the news in Tianjin was very tight, and once the military commanders were dispatched on a large scale, the Japanese might notice something.
Li Yunsheng smiled and said very confidently: "If Wu Baozhong doesn't come forward, we will intercept this batch of gold. Given the stingy character of the Japanese, if there is such a big loss, I'm afraid this traitor will not get it, okay?"
It is for this reason that Li Yunsheng made such a quick decision. After all, regardless of success or failure, it would be a good thing for the military commander.
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Xu Bing nodded. Although he was still a little worried, he thought that this was a concession and his own strength was considerable, so the danger in this matter was not great.
Next, the two people began to discuss the action plan and made various arrangements. Then Li Yunsheng began to mobilize people.
At the same time, Wu Baozhong was also listening to reports from his subordinates, but his expression kept changing.
After listening to his subordinate's report, Wu Baozhong asked doubtfully: "Are you sure the other party said the transaction was in U.S. dollars and agreed to our price?"
Wu Baozhong was surprised by this situation. After all, the price of this batch of gold was 30% higher than the market price, and the US dollar was very strong. Unless the other party was a fool, how could he agree to the transaction?
"The other party did say that, and his attitude was very serious."
The subordinates immediately answered, and their expressions were somewhat excited. After all, these traitors were not good people, otherwise they would not have defected to the Japanese.
But even if they took refuge with the Japanese, their lives were average. After all, the Japanese were not rich and were very stingy and would not give them too much money.
"That's what you mean!"
Wu Baozhong also had a somewhat moved expression. After all, everyone loves money, especially a traitor like him who cannot turn back and is very greedy.
After all, this is a war era, and only money is insurance. If something unexpected happens, you can run away with the money and become a rich man incognito.
"Captain, let's take advantage of this opportunity to fight against the enemy. Anyway, with the support of the Japanese, who can do anything to us..."
The subordinate immediately started to suggest something, with a hint of confusion in his tone. After all, if things were done, he would also benefit a lot.
Wu Baozhong was naturally very moved, but he still had some hesitation, because he felt something was abnormal, so he asked: "You are talking about the other party's situation, and also introduce what happened without missing a word."
Although Wu Baozhong was greedy, he was clear-headed and cautious, so he remained calm and did not make hasty decisions.
"The other party is not old and understands the rules of the underworld. Neither of us informed us of our origins..."
The subordinate once again introduced what happened, and finally persuaded: "Captain, why are you hesitating? Anyway, let's go there with a large team of people. No matter who the other party is, they can trick us."
"The situation in Tianjin is special. There are a lot of big shots. If we really offend some powerful people, I won't be able to handle it."
Wu Baozhong didn't notice anything unusual at all, but he had a lot of scruples. After all, this traitor knew that there were many big shots in Tianjin, and even Tanaka Misuke, a Japanese major general, couldn't think of anything.
"Captain, the real big shots all live in the city, and the trading place is in the concession. Even if there are any big shots, they are not Japanese. How much impact does this have on us."
The subordinates started to confuse them again. After all, these people became traitors and they must be seeking money. Given this opportunity, they were naturally willing to let it go.
After hearing what his men said, Wu Baozhong rolled his eyes, and then said: "You are right, we can give it a try."
Wu Baozhong then remembered that his master was Japanese and there was no need to fear anything else.
In fact, with Wu Baozhong's mind, he should be able to detect something wrong, but there is a saying that there is a saying that the traitor is confused by money, so he failed to detect anything wrong.
When Wu Baozhong set up this plan before, he also took advantage of the military commander's greed for money, because he understood the situation in Chongqing and knew that if there was an opportunity to exchange counterfeit banknotes for gold, the military commander would definitely take action, even if they knew there was a risk.
However, Li Yunsheng was rich and did not take this money seriously at all, so he saw the flaw in this matter at a glance and was not confused by Wu Baozhong.
The current situation is just the opposite. Wu Baozhong was obsessed with money and wanted to take advantage of others. Naturally, his mind was not that bright, so he was set up by Li Yunsheng.
Hearing Wu Baozhong's promise, his men became excited and immediately asked: "Captain, what are we going to do?"
Wu Baozhong's face showed a hint of viciousness, and then he spoke to his subordinates...
