Chapter 784: You are asked to attend the military meeting
“Just out of curiosity, why did you arrest McFarlane?”
“This is a core secret. How could I possibly tell you?”
"That''s right. Then help me think of a way. How can I get five hundred Garand rifles."
"What?"
The spy frowned.
Once again, I feel like I can’t keep up with Zhang Yong’s thinking.
?Garand rifle?
Five hundred?
What are you going to do?
Rifles are useful…
"McFarland is a salesman for Springfield Company. But he told me last time that he would not sell less than 5,000 pieces..."
“You wouldn’t make up an order. Could Springfield please give me a sample first?”
“Sample? Five hundred? Can that work?”
“You can give a deposit of several thousand dollars. Just receive the deposit.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Enlightened.
In fact, the operation is not difficult.
If you foolishly only buy 500 pieces, others will of course be too lazy to deliver them.
??Springfield Company is also considered the leader among small arms arms dealers. They wouldn''t accept the order for five hundred Garand rifles. But what if it’s 50,000?
If you tell the other party, I want to order 50,000 Garand rifles. Give a deposit first. You give me a sample of the battalion. About five hundred. Let’s get acquainted first. The other party might just ship the goods. Maybe even send someone to guide you. After getting 500 samples, say sorry to the other party and cancel the order...
Although some credibility may be lost. but…
etc. In fact, it can be said that we have to wait. Funding is being raised.
It has only been three years since the outbreak of World War II, marked by Germany''s invasion of Poland.
For the international arms trade, three years is actually a short time.
What he wants to do now is actually not to cancel the order. But try every means to get the goods. Get more goods.
Otherwise, after September 1939, the arms export trade of the beautiful country was completely tightened, and it would not be easy to buy anymore. The production of Garand rifles is not high, and the United States does not have enough equipment for its own army. Poor Marine Ma Run, a fourth-class man, had to wait until after 1943 to get the Garand. In the past, the big bolt was pulled.
So, lack of money!
Very short of money! Money money money!
No matter what I want to buy, I am very short of money. Tens of thousands of dollars won''t do the trick.
Really, for the arms trade, anything less than one million US dollars is a shaky business. Other arms companies may not like it.
At present, the price of the Garand rifle is very scary. It costs about $100 a pop. For one million dollars, that’s ten thousand. For a huge army that can easily reach millions, 10,000 rifles are nothing.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong’s purpose was just to equip the Fourth Air Police Regiment. Create a beggars version of the air crew. It can only perform some special tasks. Can be used in small-scale battles. Don''t think about anything else. There''s no way a little guy like him can do that.
“How can I make more money?” Zhang Yong asked seriously.
“You ask me?” The spy’s eyes were confused.
Baga! What a freak!
Clear and foolish eyes!
It just happened that he was caught by him. hateful!
"I have no experience." Zhang Yong said honestly, "You are going to die anyway, so just talking to me is a good deed."
“A good thing? You’re overthinking it.” The spy sneered.
“If you don’t say anything, then I will let you go back.”
"What?"
“If you don’t say anything, I will let you go back. You can go.”
"What?"
The spy was stunned again.
Then, he realized a very scary problem.
He has no way out.
?Even if you let him go, he can''t go back.
Because the result of going back is to be silenced.
The kidnapping has been exposed and even made it into the newspapers...
etc!
newspaper?
It may not be true…
?Perhaps Zhang Yong is just scaring himself...
“Exception!”
“Exception!”
“American businessmen were beaten by the Japanese!”
“American businessmen were beaten by the Japanese!”
“Exception!”
“Exception!”
Suddenly, the newsboy''s shout came from outside.
The spy''s conditioned reflex to turn his head. Looking at the newsboy running outside. Then he turned to look at Zhang Yong.
?The look in his eyes seemed to say, Did you arrange it? Scare me?
"I gave you the money." Zhang Yong misunderstood and nodded directly, "So, the number went out very quickly."
Waving to the man at the door. Signal them to go out and buy a few extra copies and come in.
Soon, a notice with the scent of ink was placed in front of the spy.
Mimeographed.
There was no time to turn on the printing press.
Mimeograph directly and then seize the market.
?The picture above is a bit blurry.
However, for Japanese spies, it is enough. He is a smart man. He knows what''s going on.
?It was in the newspaper…
???????????????
It is estimated that tomorrow’s newspaper headlines will all be about the kidnapping of American businessmen.
Public opinion may further ferment. Because Zhang Yong spent money. The purpose of spending money is, of course, to make things bigger. Make a fuss all over the world. Everyone knows the fuss.
Then…
There is no more.
As the initiator. There was no way he could survive.
Either, he took the initiative to commit seppuku. Or, they will be silenced by their own people. Then the Military Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly refused to recognize it.
Which one will he choose?
“Have a good sleep at night.” Zhang Yong stood up.
So busy.
??We still have to catch the seventh spy.
The spy in front of me probably won’t commit suicide. Won''t go back either.
He has no way out.
??On the other hand, the spy caught at Baozipu may commit suicide.
Because his disguised identity is that of the bottom. Life is hard. Do not miss the life in front of you. But Yosuke Yamaguchi is nostalgic. That''s enough.
“Are you leaving?” Yamaguchi Yosuke frowned. His expression was gloomy.
He admitted defeat.
He is now at the end of his rope.
Unless he wants to die.
?But, he didn’t want to die. No more courage to die.
?Years of lurking life have made him adapt to it, and he is reluctant to live a comfortable life. Unless he was beaten to death. Otherwise, he would not have the courage to die on his own.
“Have you ever heard of the Osaka Division?” Zhang Yong suddenly said unexpectedly.
“What’s wrong with the Fourth Division?” Yamaguchi Yosuke was confused.
“Nothing.” Zhang Yong walked out.
What can there be? It''s just rather slippery. I just don’t want to die in vain.
The other 6th Division and 1st Division are all miners who are usually very poor. So don''t be afraid of death when fighting.
They have never enjoyed a comfortable life. So there is nothing to be reluctant about.
As a result, they all became cannon fodder.
Only the Osaka Division can live comfortably again after surrendering.
To this day, the designation of the Fourth Division still exists. It shows how smart others are.
“What’s wrong with the Fourth Division?”
The spy talks to himself. Muttering.
Actually, he was looking for a mental ladder for himself.
"nothing."
Zhang Yong didn''t even look back.
I don’t know anything. Just say it casually.
“You come back.”
"do what?"
“Let’s make a deal.”
“You want me to give you money, that’s not possible.”
Zhang Yong flatly refused.
Transaction is possible. But I won''t pay any money.
Brother is not penniless. I am really poor...
“Come back!”
"good."
Zhang Yong turned around and came back.
sit down. Stand up straight. All ears.
“You don’t have to pay for it. I can also give you some advice to make a fortune.”
"condition."
“I’m going abroad. To Italy.”
“I suggest you go to Brazil.”
"Why?"
“There are many of your kindred over there.”
“No. I’m going to Italy. I’m going to remain anonymous. No contact with anyone.”
"make a deal!"
Zhang Yong thought of Tanavaro. That Italian Mafia businessman.
?That guy seems to have been back to Italy for a long time. Don''t know when I will come back. What did you discuss with him in the first place?
Take out a small notebook. Look carefully. Found no record. well. Too sloppy.
It doesn’t matter. It''s no big deal anyway.
?Italy is so far away that I can’t interfere.
There is not much money to be made in Italy now. On the other hand, civil war is brewing in Spain.
It’s a pity that it’s still too far away. No chance to intervene.
“After I get on the ship safely, I can give you a windfall...”
"etc!"
“You don’t want it?”
“Of course not. You can’t exchange our Chinese money for your life.”
“What I’m giving you now is money from the French. And then it’s from the British. They all come from shady sources. They don’t dare to make it public. Do you dare to ask for it?”
"dare."
Zhang Yong nodded. There is nothing to be afraid of.
As long as it comes from a wrong way, it belongs to whomever it is in whose hands it is.
?Zhang Yong is usually timid. But if you have money, you can be bolder. High risk, high return, timeless truth. The ancients also said that the coward will be starved to death and the bold will be starved to death. It''s not often that you can make money while lying down.
"Well, let me tell you now, there is a batch of arms at No. 26 Wutong Road, Zhenjiang. You can pick it up and sell it, and you can make at least 50,000 yuan."
“Arms?”
“Yes. Came from French Indochina.”
"Vietnam?"
Zhang Yong frowned.
Weapons brought by the French from Vietnam?
?At this time, foreigners don’t seem to have a word for Vietnam. It is said that it belongs to Indochina.
The problem is, this is arms!
Shaking his head.
Arms trade is too sensitive.
The same goes for the tobacco trade. Too sensitive. He didn''t want to mess with it.
He is self-aware. Wear a hat as big as your head is. If he can eat it, he will definitely eat it.
But if you can’t eat it and will starve to death, then forget it.
There is no reason to seek death for no reason. Why bother?
?This Yosuke Yamaguchi has no good intentions. Want to cheat yourself. Once these weapons are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
You are a small team leader of the Fuxing Society''s Secret Service, but it has not yet been officially established. Actually want to dispose of a large amount of arms? What do you want to do? Want to rebel? The crime is much more serious than colluding with the Red Party. They were immediately surrounded by military police and eliminated.
Looking askance at the spy.
Mad, do you think I am a fool?
The spy looked at Zhang Yong helplessly.
After a long time, he said slowly: "There are representatives of your Yunnan Army in Jinling..."
“So what?” Zhang Yong still didn’t understand.
"You find someone, pretend to be an agent of a French company, go to the people of the Yunnan Army, and say that you have arms to trade with them. Let them see the goods, then pay the money, and take delivery of the goods. The price will be better. The Yunnan Army will definitely be happy."
"this…"
Zhang Yong thought of the current situation.
The two sides joined forces to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek...
??If the King of Yunnan turns to Li Bai, the pressure on Chiang Kai-shek will be great.
??Chen Jitang, Li Bai, and Long Yun join forces, and Chiang Kai-shek will be in huge trouble. Guizhou will definitely not be able to keep it. That is, half of the southwest wall was lost.
Three companies join forces and can dispatch an army of three to four hundred thousand. The main force of Chiang Kai-shek''s direct line is encircling and suppressing the Red Army. Where can a large army be drawn at once?
He Jian of the Hunan Army has at most tens of thousands of people. Less than fifty thousand. What can I do to stop Li Bai?
?Little Zhuge is still very good at fighting. Ten He Jians were no match for Xiao Zhuge. If Xiangnan is lost, Jinling will be in danger.
So, at this moment, Long Yun, no matter what request he made, Lao Jiang had to agree.
?Perhaps Long Yun actually made some demands? Made Lao Jiang very unhappy? So in 1945, as soon as the Anti-Japanese War was won, Long Yun was immediately attacked?
Damn it, this Japanese spy is really accurate. There are capable people among the Japanese invaders!
“You go.”
“I will contact you every seven days.”
"good."
“Also, the Raymond group has a lot of funding.”
"oh?"
Zhang Yong’s eyes sparkled.
Singkawang turned around and left.
There is no swearing or anything like that. No need. He bought Zhang Yong with money.
For Zhang Yong, money is the most reliable promise.
Zhang Yong had nothing to lose. Letting go of a spy in exchange for a batch of arms is definitely worth it.
?No matter whose hands this batch of arms ends up in, they will be used to kill the Japanese invaders. If it is given to the Yunnan Army, it is naturally the best. The Yunnan Army''s record is very good.
Even if there was an accident and it was finally confiscated by Chiang Kai-shek, it would still be in the hands of Huangpu''s direct family. It will also be useful in next year''s Battle of Songhu. In the Battle of Songhu, the first people to invest were the elite direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek. It cannot be said that Chiang Kai-shek failed to do his best. At the beginning, I was really determined to fight. But later the losses were too great and the main force of the direct line was exhausted. He was worried that it would affect his dominance, so he began to hesitate and look around.
?However, these are not important.
The important thing is…
?? Raymond Intelligence Group has a lot of funding...
Many dollars?
How much is it? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
Take a deep breath.
Get rid of distracting thoughts in your mind.
Go and catch the last spy.
This spy should also be hiding nearby. Won''t go too far.
Otherwise, he would not choose a rickshaw.
?Sure enough, a Japanese aggressor wearing a kidnapper''s mark was quickly discovered. That''s him.
A bit unexpected. This Japanese invader turned out to be a policeman.
Beside him, there were several policemen. All carrying rifles. It seems to be on a vigilance mission.
Zhang Yong turned to look at Huang Benkuan, "Do you know that guy?"
“I don’t know.” Huang Benkuan shook his head, “Let me ask.”
"No need. He is a spy." Zhang Yong said bluntly, "Now, I am going to arrest him."
“The rifle in his hand has no bullets.” Huang Benkuan said.
“Really?” Zhang Yong was dubious.
Out of bullets? Good thing!
He was also worried that the spies would suffer big losses if they had weapons in their hands.
Unexpectedly, these policemen had rifles in their hands. There are no bullets. It was an accident indeed. Outsiders have no idea.
"real."
"Why?"
“Worried about being robbed.”
"oh."
Zhang Yong expressed his understanding.
It turns out that the concept of gun and bullet separation existed at this time.
Also too careful.
?However, for him at this moment, it is a good thing.
Lead the team up directly. Walk towards the seven policemen.
The seven policemen were all confused when they saw them. Then he stood up quickly. Put the rifle on the ground and pay attention.
Zhang Yong came to the spy with an expressionless face, stretched out his hand to collect his rifle, and then said: "My name is Zhang Yong, I am from the Fuxing Society Secret Service..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, the spy suddenly reached out and pushed him, turned around and ran away.
The surrounding police officers were suddenly stunned.
??He watched helplessly as Zhang Yong was pushed and staggered back.
The spy policeman was running very fast and was about to turn around the corner of the street. Disappear into the side street behind.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
At this moment, a gunshot rang out.
The spy turned and ran away. Zhang Yong had already expected it.
At this point, you still want to run? dream!
The others opened fire immediately.
After a burst of gunfire, the Japanese invaders fell to the ground.
If the red dot does not disappear, it means he is not dead. There are also weapons marks on the body.
Lu Keming and others tried to rush forward.
"etc!"
Zhang Yong hurriedly stopped the people.
There is something fishy about this spy! Maybe it''s a scam!
Everyone stopped.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
A ball of fire broke out on the spot.
Zhang Yong:! !
Hurry and squat down.
Others also got down.
It turned out to be the Japanese spy who fired the grenade. Directly self-destruct.
Zhang Yong:…
wipe! This Japanese spy is very vicious!
Hide a grenade in your arms! Made. Fortunately, it didn''t sound just now.
Otherwise…
I can’t even imagine the consequences.
After the explosion, everyone couldn''t help but be stunned.
Especially the other six policemen, who were completely stunned.
sky!
What the **** is going on?
Why did you blow up yourself with a grenade?
“He is a spy!”
“You all sew your mouths shut!”
"If the secret is leaked, I will arrest you all and put you in a water prison!"
Zhang Yong''s face was stern.
Seven Japanese invaders, five died. Two alive.
However, one of them, the one from Baozipu, is alive and it is probably impossible to confess.
So, in the end, the only person who is useful is the planner, Yosuke Yamaguchi.
?However, his Zhang Yong’s money-making plan does not require living expenses. It doesn''t matter.
It’s fine now. All hands and tail are cleaned.
It’s time to report to Director Lin.
How to report?
It means it has been dealt with.
Sure enough, Director Lin was very satisfied and praised him.
Finally he said:
"I''ve seen everything outside the number. Very good. You have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, change into new military uniforms, tidy up, and come to the Presidential Palace."
“Tomorrow? What’s the matter?”
“The committee will have an important military meeting tomorrow. You will attend.”
"I?"
Zhang Yong was immediately stunned.
I am a fool! Attend a military meeting?
What virtues and abilities am I?
??Mom!
??This is a rush! Try your best to send yourself into the merit forest!
faint…
Can you not go?
It’s a pity that I dare not speak. Definitely get scolded.
A delegate allows you to attend the meeting as a non-voting delegate. You said I have something to do and I don’t want to go...
Is he so stubborn?
Hmm…
It’s over…
It’s over…
