Chapter 701, I got fooled again
Later in the night. Bitter wind and cold rain.
?Hangzhou seems to be particularly rainy.
The mist and rain of the West Lake in later generations probably refer to the three months of spring.
Very beautiful…
Poetic and picturesque…
However, for Zhang Yong, his memory is only the cold wind and rain. There''s also annoying mud.
There is mud and water everywhere. Or mud. One foot is deep and one foot is shallow.
Many places are inaccessible by car.
If the wheel gets stuck, no one can push it out.
As a result, some straw must always be prepared in the car. Or stone. For use in case of stuck vehicle.
“Team leader, right in front.”
"good."
Zhang Yong raised his telescope and observed silently in the dark night.
He was called out of bed. Braving the cold wind and drizzle, we rushed to the outskirts. It is said that traces of Sun Dingyuan were found here.
It is said that some foreigners were also seen. Probably those five Englishmen.
Who discovered it? Not sure. Anyway, the information was transferred to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong then came over overnight.
Squatting in the cold wind and rain.
The map shows that there are many white spots in a high-walled compound 300 meters away. All have weapons symbols. There is also a gold mark.
But there is no red dot. It means there are no Japanese invaders here.
It may indeed be Sun Dingyuan and his group.
It is possible, Sun Dingyuan is here. But it could also be a stand-in.
Zhang Yong finally believed Qu Tie''s words.
???It’s really not surprising that Sun Dingyuan has seven or eight substitutes.
Theoretically, Sun Dingyuan should control the five British people. After all, this is the best hostage.
?Those British people are probably not very fuel-efficient either. Of MI7. Could it be a good thing?
It would be best if they had internal strife.
The commissioner was worried that the foreigner had died and was protested by the foreign minister. Zhang Yong didn''t care.
When you die, you die. You go to China yourself and engage in some illegal activities. It makes no sense that we should be held responsible if someone loses his life.
Previously, Qu Tie had to pretend to be real and kill Takeshita Takashi. Obviously not well-intentioned.
For the British, the best thing is to let the Chinese hold back the Japanese. Let the Japanese have no time to infringe on the interests of the British.
??If Takashi Takeshita is really killed, conflicts between China and Japan intensify, and the Japanese invade China with all their strength, they will definitely not be able to interfere with Britain.
The British policy of appeasement has always been like this.
They all sacrifice others to preserve their own interests.
So, how is it possible that Chiang Kai-shek expects Britain and the United States to mediate? Others would like you to fight to the death with the Japanese.
…To go too far.
The international situation has nothing to do with him.
He just wants to catch Sun Dingyuan now. Then squeeze out the oil.
Each stand-in costs three thousand dollars. What about the rightful owner? It should be at least thirty thousand dollars. Full of yearning…
?However, the map shows that those white dots are all crowded together.
Someone is keeping watch.
Very vigilant.
It was quiet all around. The nearby terrain is open. Others cannot approach invisibly.
This is a suburb again. The sky is big and the earth is big. You can retreat at any time. Then they dispersed into the wild. Then it disappeared without a trace.
The reason why Sun Dingyuan did not escape immediately. It''s because he hasn''t given up on his goal yet.
He is going to the United States. His target is the United States.
Unless it is absolutely necessary. He will not hide from the countryside.
So miserable…
Others may be warm in the house. They were outside in the wind and rain.
Fortunately, there are many empty houses nearby. Zhang Yong picked a few rooms and took people to live in them. Only then did I feel better.
Unexpectedly, I discovered that one of the houses was actually equipped with a telephone. I picked up the phone and found that the line actually worked.
?What a surprise.
Call the number provided by Qu Tie immediately.
Can get through.
But no one picked up.
Look at the time, it’s about three o’clock in the morning.
hey-hey.
It’s past three o’clock in the morning…
Get up and hey, everyone!
I, Zhang Yong, am busy outside, so none of you can sleep!
“Dudu…”
“Dudu…”
Let the phone ring.
If the call hangs up automatically, continue the call.
Continue to fight…
Three times…
Four times…
Zhang Yong is not in a hurry either. Use it directly as a harassing call.
The person on the other end of the phone is British. hehe. Get up.
finally…
“Who?”
Someone answered the phone.
The Chinese I speak is quite standard. But with severe irritability.
It’s understandable. The phone rang at around three in the morning, and anyone else would be furious. What''s more, it''s a harassing phone call? However, this is what Zhang Yong wants!
“It’s me.” Zhang Yong said loudly.
“Who are you?” The other party was impatient.
“We have had transactions.” Zhang Yong responded coldly.
“What deal?” The other party’s tone gradually began to slow down.
Zhang Yong was silent.
What deal?
Oops…
I didn’t think about it before.
But he soon had content.
“Plan Zeus, do you want to know?” Zhang Yong said slowly.
“What’s the plan?” The other party was confused.
“The Japanese want to build the largest battleship in the world, did you know?”
“Who the **** are you?”
"crow."
Zhang Yong temporarily found a code name for himself.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately regretted them. What crow. unlucky. Why did you come up with such a tasteless nickname?
Sigh, being uneducated is really terrible...
“I don’t know who you are.”
“But I know who you are. Go and tell the MI7 people that I have a very important piece of information that your Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Churchill, needs very much. If you miss it, Mr. Churchill will kick your asses.”
“Who the **** are you?”
?The other person is a little annoyed. A little confused again.
I thought it was a prank. However, the other party mentioned Churchill''s name again.
Churchill is currently the Lord of the Admiralty. Dominate the Royal Navy. The Japanese want to build the world''s largest battleship? Who said that?
?Oh, Project Zeus…
?The other party turned out to be selling information.
“Displacement.”
“Much larger than your King George V class battleships.”
“Main gun caliber?”
“Also much larger than your King George V class battleships.”
“Speed?”
“More than thirty knots.”
“You are talking nonsense.”
“You don’t believe it?”
“No one’s battleships can be better than those of our Royal Navy!”
"but…"
“Crack!”
The other party hung up the phone.
Zhang Yong was not angry either. Hold the microphone. There was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.
What a loud tone.
The empire on which the sun never sets.
I thought I was number one in the world!
No one''s battleships were better than those of the Royal Navy. hehe.
What is the displacement of your Prince of Wales? Forty thousand tons. What is the displacement of the Yamato? Seventy thousand tons. Almost twice as many as you.
Yamato''s main gun caliber is 460 mm. Your Prince of Wales is only 356mm.
It is a full 100 mm smaller than others!
There are also differences in sailing speed.
But Zhang Yong completely understood the British pride.
After all, the British can only see some of their former glory on the ocean.
Battleships are the lifeblood of the British.
Even if you are trying to sell everything, you must keep building. to ensure superiority over the ocean.
Especially after the German naval shipbuilding plan came out, Churchill did not dare to underestimate it. His basic principle is three against one. Three against one.
The Germans built one battleship, and the British built three to match the standard.
However, Churchill’s gaze always ignored the east. Ignore the Japanese. I didn''t expect the Japanese to be so crazy.
? In terms of pure technology, the Yamato’s various statistics can kill British and American battleships instantly.
Objectively speaking, the Japanese invaders were indeed quite capable.
Silently put down the microphone. Wait ten seconds. Then pick it up and continue dialing the previous phone number.
No one listens?
Don’t want to hear it?
It doesn''t matter. The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping...
result…
? Found only busy tone.
Hello guys, it turns out that the other party has picked up the microphone. Can''t get in.
Matt. Zhang Yong cursed secretly.
When you catch this **** foreigner, smash his hand first...
You actually don’t believe what I said!
Suddenly, there was movement in the courtyard.
A man came out of the courtyard. Alone. With weapons symbol. But there is no gold mark.
Sneaky.
Flash and shrink.
Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes. What is this guy going to do? Want to escape alone?
If a person runs out quietly, it must be up to no good!
Most likely because I want to run away alone.
Okay, deliver it to your door.
?Monitor the situation closely.
Gradually, the telescope can finally see a little bit. It''s a man with long hair. Judgment is for men. The kind of art masters of later generations. Unkempt. Beard Bazaar. The kind with a full face and beard. To put it mildly, it''s rough. To put it bluntly, it''s sloppy.
Instead of heading out into the fields, he tried to return to the city.
This is interesting. Just in time to catch.
Arrange immediately.
The target groped forward cautiously. In the dark, he walked slowly.
On the contrary, Zhang Yong had the help of a map and could avoid all dangers. Run quickly. It doesn''t feel so cold anymore. Successfully circled in front of the target.
However, since the surrounding terrain is relatively open, it is impossible to plot and kill people behind the scenes.
The only way is to block the opponent first.
What if the target shoots? That can''t be helped. He could only fire back and kill him.
Will the sound of gunshots alert other gangsters in the compound?
Can’t care less. Shocked.
Take care of the guy in front of you first. Maybe without using a gun?
When the target entered an open space, Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Immediately someone appeared from behind or from the side.
??The bearded man heard the footsteps and turned around hurriedly. Then he found himself surrounded.
In the faint light, I saw the black muzzle of the gun.
“Friend, don’t move.” Zhang Yong popped out half of his head from behind the broken wall and said loudly, “We only want money, not lives.”
"Which road are you friends on?" The bearded man was silent for a moment and slowly opened his hand.
This action means that he has no intention of drawing the gun. Don''t get me wrong.
Obviously, he understands the rules of the world. If you take the risk of drawing a gun, you will end up becoming a hornet''s nest.
?The other party can shoot holes all over him with just one shot.
“The Crocodile Gang.” Zhang Yong said boldly.
“You?” The bearded man looked very strange. Confuse. incredible. absurd.
“Yes. We are from the Crocodile Gang.”
"Me too." "That''s nonsense. Do you dare to pretend?"
“I am the leader of the Crocodile Gang. My name is Wu Baishun.”
"oh?"
Zhang Yong:…
?The other party is actually the leader of the Crocodile Gang?
Matt. Actually pretending to be the real owner? The world is really small!
but…
It doesn''t matter. It''s all little things.
Zhang Yong said coldly: "Since you are the leader of the Crocodile Gang, what are you doing hanging out with Sun Dingyuan?"
"What Sun Dingyuan?" Wu Baishun shook his head, "You may have misunderstood."
"I didn''t misunderstand. You must be in cahoots with Sun Dingyuan. There were people from Sun Dingyuan in the compound you just left."
"No. They are Chu Jingliang''s men."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong felt something was wrong.
Is it really a mistake? He wanted to arrest Sun Dingyuan, but ended up arresting Chu Jingliang?
Fainted to death!
Who gave the information?
??It’s not like someone is taking the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west, and divert the tiger away from the mountain!
?Perhaps it was Sun Dingyuan who was behind this?
?Sun Dingyuan lured him to the suburbs and then escaped from his shell?
Grass!
?Fooled!
?These old guys are really cunning!
I wasted several hours in the suburbs in vain. Perhaps now, Sun Dingyuan has escaped from Hangzhou City.
well…
??I really can’t beat these veterans!
It may be too late to go back now.
never mind…
Let’s do it next time.
If you really can’t catch it, forget it. Don''t force yourself. After all, abilities are limited. It''s impossible to do everything perfectly.
As much as you can do.
As much as you can catch.
Be content with the situation.
Be content and happy.
“What are Chu Jingliang’s people doing there?”
“Discuss the matter of transporting grain.”
“What transports grain.”
“They are preparing to transport 100,000 tons of grain to Tianjin Wei.”
“Then what should I do with you?”
“Help **** the ship.”
“Water transport or sea transport?”
“Sea transport.”
“He has so many ships?”
“It’s shipped by Haichang Shipping.”
“Wen Zhenping?”
"right."
"I see."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Sure enough, a closed loop has been formed within the Japanese espionage community.
If you need food, go to Chu Jingliang.
If you need shipping, please contact Wen Zhenping.
Neither need to pass through other people''s hands. This will enable the food to be safely and smoothly transported to Tianjin Wei.
In fact, daring to travel by sea has fully demonstrated that Wen Zhenping is not simple.
Out in the sea, there are Japanese warships. It will be intercepted and inspected at any time. If you don''t cooperate, you will be sunk.
??The Japanese invaders had many destroyers patrolling the coast of China. Specially block the coastline. If it is not a foreign ship or a ship chartered by the Japanese, it cannot pass.
Don''t look at those destroyers, they are all antiques with a displacement of about 1,000 tons. However, when faced with civilian ships, they still looked like Zenith stars. They didn''t even use the 127mm main gun, they just used small-caliber machine guns to sink it. Therefore, no one dares to take risks.
The Liao family’s ships only dared to go along the coastline, from Hangzhou to Shanghai. Once you leave this route, you will be in danger.
?Those merchant ships from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, or to other places, must have more or less official background. Or maybe he has a foreign background.
Alas, talking about it brings tears to my eyes. The weak national power is the result of being bullied by others.
Does Hangzhou have 100,000 tons of grain?
Of course.
?Suzhou and Hangzhou have always been a land of plenty.
There has always been a saying that if Suhu is cooked, the world will be satisfied. Hangzhou is also among them.
“Who else is there?”
“I don’t know many people.”
“Then what are you doing running out alone?”
"I…"
?Wu Baishun was silent.
Obviously, this question is difficult to answer.
He doesn''t want to tell the truth. However, it is difficult to hide lies from Zhang Yong.
??It will be very bad if you are caught lying.
“I want to report...” Wu Baishun said slowly in the end.
“Sue who?” Zhang Yong looked unmoved.
"I have no idea."
“You haven’t thought about it?”
"yes."
“Why whistleblower?”
“I feel like there’s something wrong with this Chu Jingliang…”
“What’s the problem?”
“He may be a lackey of the Japanese.”
“How do you feel?”
“One hundred thousand tons of grain transported from Hangzhou to Tianjin Wei must be sold to the Japanese!”
"uncertain."
Zhang Yong said slowly.
Zhang Yong felt the same way before.
The Japanese were short of food and had to plunder from China.
However, northern China has insufficient grain production. There was no excess grain to sell to the Japanese.
Food must be transported from the south.
"By the way, there is a person who came from the three eastern provinces. I suspect that he was sent by the puppet Manchukuo."
“What’s your name?”
“He introduced himself as Wang Shen.”
“Wang Shen.”
Zhang Yong remember this name.
Puppet Manchukuo is so rich! He likes it.
??The last time I caught Yoshiko Kawashima, I originally wanted to blackmail her a lot, but unexpectedly, someone from above put her back.
What a pity…
?Now that someone else has sent it to your door, let’s take it all as ordered.
?This group of Japanese spies, including Chu Jingliang and Wang Jichang, are all big fish. You can earn a lot of money just by tapping.
“The recipient of the grain is Wang Shen.”
“Go on.”
“He offered a very high price.”
“How high?”
“Eighteen oceans per stone. Settlement at Tianjin Wei Port.”
“Is it very high?”
“In Hangzhou, one stone of good rice only costs nine oceans. This is double the price!”
“Are you done now?”
"certainly."
"Well…"
Zhang Yong always felt that something was not right.
Coming from a later generation, he is very sensitive to fraud. Various scams immediately come to mind.
The price of transporting grain from Hangzhou to the north has doubled. It sounds indeed very beautiful. There is also the ocean that is now knotted. It is estimated that all merchants are willing.
Including Liao Panxi. She is also a businesswoman. Businessmen are also profit-seeking.
However, if the food is transported to Tianjin Wei, the other party will not want it. Then it gets stuck again, what should I do?
?Then go to the street. It''s like throwing away a lot of goods in vain.
One hundred thousand tons of grain, when it reaches there, it will be 3.6 million in the ocean! Wang Shen has so many oceans?
?However, Zhang Yong has little research on economics. It is impossible to sort out the cost-profit relationship in a short period of time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a scam or anything, let’s catch Wang Shen first.
“Let’s go!”
"Thanks."
?Wu Baishun turned and left.
Zhang Yong led the people to the courtyard.
Since he is not Sun Dingyuan''s subordinate, he is not polite.
Chu Jingliang…
You are what I am looking for.
He led the team and walked over in a mighty manner.
The person on guard outside the door noticed it immediately. "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
"I''m from the Special Branch of Fuxing Society. My name is Zhang Yong. Call Wang Shen to come out." Zhang Yong named him. What he is looking for is the people from Manchukuo.
Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared. The appearance is unremarkable.
He was calm when he saw Zhang Yong. Obviously he didn''t take it to heart.
“Boss Wang.” Zhang Yong smiled.
“Team Leader Zhang, why are you here late at night?” Wang Shen asked slowly.
“I have something to see Boss Wang. Please come with me.”
“What’s the matter with you? Say it here.”
“Let’s find another place to say it. It’s not convenient to say it here.”
“Say it right here.”
“Wang Shen, don’t drink wine as a penalty if you don’t eat the toast.”
“Team Leader Zhang, I’ve also heard of your name. But I’m not afraid.”
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong sneered.
Suddenly something didn’t feel right.
A red dot appears on the edge of the map. Flashing.
In an instant, Zhang Yong''s whole body was filled with excitement.
There is danger.
Sniper!
Without thinking, Zhang Yong immediately got down.
The movement is extremely fast.
?His consciousness told him very clearly that he was ambushed. It''s a Japanese sniper!
This is a trap.
He was fooled again.
The so-called intelligence was definitely arranged by the Japanese invaders. The purpose is to attract him here.
The terrain here is open and very suitable for sniping.
Then…
Feeling something pass by.
?It felt like something had rubbed the back of my left shoulder.
I feel nothing.
It means all at once.
Maybe the bullet was flying too fast, and his body and brain had not had time to judge the severity of the wound.
Mad…
Being sniped…
The second time…
Grass…
I didn’t catch the opponent last time and let him run away, but he did it again the second time.
Just because he was eager to capture Sun Dingyuan, he fell into a trap set by the Japanese invaders.
Mad…
Nearly died.
But it didn’t hang up.
There is still a chance.
Clenched teeth. swear. This Japanese sniper must be killed today.
