The red dot is actually in a factory building.
A sign hanging outside shows. The factory is called Junsheng Coal Trading Company.
Coal trade?
This is rare. Not available in the South.
The coal used in Jinling, Songhu and other places is transported from the north.
It seems that part of it comes from Tianjin Wei?
right. That's right.
At this time, QHD did not have a port and its coal throughput was not large.
Most of the coal shipped by sea is embarked from Tianjin Wei. The Japanese invaders later occupied Jin Province and controlled a large number of coal mines, which also needed to be transported from Tianjin Wei.
Coal, cotton, iron ore, grain, etc. were all resources that the Japanese invaders desperately plundered.
Tianjin Wei has therefore become an important node.
Simply from the perspective of war resource transfer, Tianjin Wei is more important than Shanghai.
Why?
Because if Tianjin Wei was paralyzed, the Japanese invaders in North China would be in trouble.
It is difficult to obtain adequate supplies of weapons and ammunition from domestic sources. At the same time, various resources plundered from North China cannot be effectively transported back to the country.
Unfortunately, the Fuxing Society's strength in Tianjin Wei was very weak and had almost no impact on the battle situation.
Don't know what you can do?
If conditions permit, some preliminary work should be done. After the full-scale resistance war and the Eighth Route Army enters North China, will they cooperate with the underground party again?
"Who are you looking for?"
The entrance to the coal trading company is guarded.
However, looking at Zhang Yong and others arriving in a menacing manner. And everyone was carrying a gun. I couldn't help but beat my heart.
Did you encounter bandits? Have bandits entered the city in large numbers?
So ostentatious?
"Where's your boss?" Zhang Yong looked pleasant and gentle.
I am a scholar by nature.
It's not pretending.
As long as you are gentle people and don't take action, I will be easy to talk to.
"In, inside..."
"Open the door."
"yes……"
The guards obediently opened the door.
Their instincts told them that if they refused, they would definitely be beaten.
There are dozens of people on the other side. Rounding up, that’s over a hundred. There are only a few of them, how can they carry it? After opening the door, he hid aside and shivered.
Zhong Yang and Ouyang Sheng were leading the way.
Soon, the owner of the trading company realized something was wrong. So many people...
I was about to yell and scold, and then realized something was wrong.
damn it!
Why are there guns?
Many people still wear Mao suits?
Oops!
Identity exposed?
The other party is here to arrest someone?
Without thinking, the boss turned around and ran away.
Realizing the danger, he reacted quickly. Immediately run to the coal pile behind.
Behind the trading company is a large amount of open space. There are large amounts of coal piled in the open space. These are all retail. The wholesale ones are not here. It can’t fit either.
"Chase!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
It’s fun when there are many people.
With just a gesture or a look, someone would rush upward desperately.
Especially those veterans who have just had enough to eat and drink. First time participating in arrest. It feels very fresh. At the same time, I also want to express myself to the best of my ability.
They all rushed forward like cheetahs.
Zhang Yong unexpectedly discovered that Pang De ran extremely fast. Climbing ability is also strong. He actually climbed directly onto the coal pile and climbed over.
Oh, this guy is very light. His feet actually didn't sink into the coals.
Others are also rushing to be the first.
"Nangong, come back!" Zhang Yong suddenly shouted.
Don't give it all away.
I have to keep a few people around me.
Otherwise, if someone attacks me soon, wouldn’t I be miserable?
Although, I can monitor all Japanese invaders within a radius of 350 meters. But we can’t stop some traitors from launching an attack!
Safety first.
The Japanese invaders want to catch him.
He can't die either.
Otherwise, it will affect the overall situation...
"yes!"
Nangong Hanqing hurriedly withdrew.
Zhang Yong stood behind the coal pile and could not see the arrests inside.
But don’t worry either.
With so many people, how can it be impossible to catch a spy?
joke!
If the spy escapes, he will eat the pile of coal.
The map shows that the red dot is running in front, and a bunch of white dots are chasing behind. The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
Eventually, the white dots completely submerged the red dots.
Take a look.
Just say you can't run away.
How many spies can escape from him?
Those guys who used to be from the Miyamoto family were too powerful and I had no experience. So I let the old beggar from the Miyamoto family run away several times.
Then there was no more. Even people from the Miyamoto family have to stay.
Stretch.
Look around comfortably.
Suddenly I felt like this place was pretty good.
Spacious enough.
Empty enough.
And there's so much coal. No. It's Coal Mountain. It is estimated that it will take a lifetime to burn.
Winter in the north is still very cold. Without enough coal for heating, it would be almost difficult to survive the winter. These days, electricity and gas are all luxuries.
Only coal is the most affordable. Every household will prepare some before winter.
Generally speaking, an average family may need to prepare about two thousand kilograms of food in one winter.
How many pounds are there?
It is estimated to be more than 20 million kilograms...
Maybe, a mountain of coal contains tens of thousands of tons...
Is tens of thousands tons a lot?
not much.
In 2022, my country's coal output will reach 4.5 billion tons in one year. Think about the concept...
"Captain, caught!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
This spy doesn’t seem to be a big fish!
So restless.
Run when you see me coming. Isn't this intentional exposure?
Soon, the boss was escorted up. There were injuries all over.
hehe. These rough guys.
Beat anyone you catch. Not very civilized either.
fine. They were all beaten with fists. Can't die. No need to pay for medical expenses.
"What do you call the boss?" Zhang Yong smiled.
"You, you, you..." The boss was shocked. Frustrated and hopeless. At the same time, he also harbors illusions.
Perhaps, the other party is simply seeking revenge. Or kidnapping.
As long as you don't know that you are a hidden Japanese, you will be fine. Money is all external things...
"My name is Chen Hu." Zhang Yong started talking nonsense again.
The name Liu Heizi can no longer be used. Everyone in the Japanese secret service knew about it.
Then change the name. Anyway, don’t say you are Zhang Yong.
Not to mention that he was from the Fuxing Society.
"You, you, what are you going to do?"
"Alchemy!"
"I, I, I..."
"Let's go in and talk."
"you you……"
The spy's heart was in turmoil.
It turned out that the other party really didn’t know that he was Japanese. They weren't here specifically to catch him.
The other party just came to ask for alms. Want money.
However, isn’t your style a bit too big? Do you need to bring so many people and so many guns when you come to beg for alms?
I think Yuan Wen is not as exaggerated as you when he goes out?
He is the biggest boss in Jinmen!
You have a company of troops with you!
There is no such thing as scary. I almost lost my soul, okay...
Enter the office.
Press the boss on the stool and sit obediently.
Zhang Yong sat down.
"Your surname is yours, boss."
"My name is Geng Mingjun."
"It turns out it was Boss Geng who was offended."
"you……"
Geng Mingjun hesitated.
He realized that he might have been happy too early.
The look in the other person's eyes seemed to tell him clearly that others already knew his secret.
"that……"
"Boss Geng, tell me what you have to say."
"There are thousands of oceans in my safe, please accept it, Master Chen."
"Really? Thank you so much."
"I'll go get it right away."
"please!"
Zhang Yong smiled and waved.
Geng Mingjun stood up softly and went to open the safe.
After dilly-dallying for a while, he took out a stack of banknotes. They are all from Guoshang Bank. Face value 100 silver dollars. There are like thirty-four pictures.
Want to close the safe. But Zhang Yong reached out to stop him. "Not in a hurry."
"Then, there is no more money..."
"There are other things! I saw them all!"
"That……"
"come over!"
Zhang Yong suppressed his smile.
Geng Mingjun realized that he had made a stupid mistake.
Others may not come here for the banknotes. Others discovered something more important inside the safe.
For example, some bills.
Some documents related to Japan. Passes and more.
Some charter documents are very important.
Without these special documents, transport ships cannot go to sea.
If you go to sea, you will be sunk by Japanese warships. Or catch it.
The Bohai Bay outside is controlled by the Japanese.
Japanese warships were cruising.
The Japanese invaders stationed a naval fleet at Lushun Port at the exit of the Bohai Bay.
The Japanese invaders also sent warships near Dagukou Pier in Tianjin Wei.
Subconsciously, he turned around and tried to close the safe again. As a result, he froze again.
But the sound of the gun being pulled was heard. It was a Browning pistol loaded.
Pistols like the Browning are called luzi because they are loaded by pulling the holster.
The heart is as gray as death.
Look back.
Sit back obediently.
Ruined……
Zhang Yong walked over and took a look.
hehe. There are gold bars. Without thinking, he immediately swallowed it up quietly.
Apart from gold bars, there seems to be nothing else of value. So come back.
Zhong Yang led people over, took out all the contents of the safe, and placed them on the marble coffee table.
The marble coffee table is large enough to hold everything.
Some documents, including passes and the like, were also left on the coffee table. Very conspicuous.
Many documents have Japanese stamps on them.
Japanese military police headquarters...
Japanese Invaders Maritime Coordinating Office...
Japanese invaders Ministry of Health and Welfare...
A dazzling array of items. The relevant information alone is a fist-thick pile.
Geng Mingjun was extremely nervous.
If the other party asks what these documents are, he has no way to explain.
It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to obtain these documents.
Only Japanese who pretend to be Chinese can. This is also an important guarantee for them to make huge profits.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong doesn't seem to be very smart.
Zhang Yong glanced at him and said, "Are you still capable of doing business with the Japanese?"
"I, yes, yes..."
"Then I'll also buy some stocks."
"What?"
"I'm going to be your boss."
"What?"
"I love this place. I commandeered this place."
"What?"
Geng Mingjun was dumbfounded.
Thinking that the other person is not very smart. did not expect……
The other party was going to swallow him directly!
Zhang Yong is serious. He is going to settle those veterans here.
Everyone go back to No. 49 Shihu Street. It's not impossible. However, it is best not to put all your eggs in the same basket. Don't let the enemy see the whole picture at a glance.
There must be some hidden strength. Even if it can't be completely hidden. It’s better than exposing everything.
"No..." Geng Mingjun weakly refused.
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Everyone else retreated outside the office.
Geng Mingjun subconsciously felt something was wrong. But he didn't dare to move. I had to sit obediently.
"You are japanese……"
"I'm not……"
"Is your boss Wachi Takaji, or Mogawa Hide? Or someone else?"
"..."
Geng Mingjun was silent.
Zhang Yong looked at each other silently.
Suddenly, I heard Geng Mingjun muttering to himself: "Matsujing..."
Zhang Yong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Matsui Mansion?
That is Yoshio Matsui.
He actually belongs to the Matsui Mansion in Beiping?
Good guy.
It’s actually a cross-regional operation!
hehe.
He leaned close to the other person's ear and said slowly: "Or is it Yoshio Matsui?"
"No. No..." Geng Mingjun shouted reflexively. Then I found myself exposed. His reaction was obviously that of a cat whose tail was stepped on!
Exposed.
It turns out that the other party already knew his true identity.
The other party actually said Yoshio Matsui's name. It was pointless for him to continue to resist.
Unless you want to get beaten.
Then he was killed and buried directly in the coal pile. Even the gods don’t know.
Not to mention, this Japanese spy really guessed it right.
Zhang Yong just saw so many piles of coal, like hills. The first thing that came to mind was to bury people.
Kill the Japanese spies and bury a few inside without even digging holes.
Is this a coal pile?
This is Coal Mountain!
The height is over fifty meters. It is equivalent to a dozen floors high. The bottom is irregular. It can basically be seen as a circle. The radius is over hundreds of meters. What is this if not a mountain?
If you bury a few people inside, who can find them?
How about burying the guy in front of me first and then changing the boss?
Eyes dropped...
"Don't, don't, I said, I said." The spy suddenly collapsed.
He felt murderous intent from Zhang Yong's eyes.
His strong desire to survive allowed him to make a wise choice.
Zhang Yong's murderous intention gradually subsided.
All right. cooperate.
Since others are willing to cooperate, then you should spare their lives.
After all, I am a kind person...
"I'm waiting for a few questions from you. Answer them honestly. Don't lie. And don't add fuel to the fire."
"yes."
"How many years have you been lurking?"
"Seven years."
"Always affiliated with the Matsui Mansion?"
"No. There was no Matsui Mansion before. There was Masao Ito before."
"Do you have any contact with the Military Police Headquarters here?"
"No."
"What about the Hetan mechanism, the Lan mechanism, the Bamboo mechanism, etc.?"
"No."
"What agency is it connected to?"
"Moon mechanism."
"Huh? The moon of the moon?"
"yes."
"Ah, the moon mechanism..."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully. There’s a new term!
Moon mechanism...
It doesn’t seem like Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum? Not Tong, Nan, Tan, Sophora japonica, etc.?
"Who is the director?"
"That's His Excellency Yoshio Matsui..."
"Oh, Matsui Mansion, Moon Agency..."
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a team of people and two sets of brands.
Just say why another month agency appeared.
It seems that there are a lot of Japanese spies under the jurisdiction of Matsui Mansion, and they can reach out to Tianjin Guard.
Suddenly another thing occurred to me.
"What kind of organization is Maochuan Mansion?"
"Um?"
"Isn't Tianjin Wei's Maochuan Mansion called an institution?"
"I have no idea."
"Oh. Okay then. What are your job responsibilities?"
"make money."
"Just making money?"
"Yes. Provide funds for the Matsui Mansion."
"Understood."
Zhang Yong was secretly ashamed.
I seem to have forgotten my old profession.
Isn't this practice very common in Shanghai and Jinling?
The Japanese military headquarters did not allocate any funds to various secret service agencies. They had to find ways to raise funds themselves.
If you have money, do it.
If you don’t have money, don’t do it.
Therefore, the first principle of each secret service agency is to make money.
What can you do if you have no money?
Use spies to pretend to be Chinese and make profits. At the same time, penetrating into Chinese business circles is their tried and tested method.
Since this method was popular in the south, it was naturally copied in the north.
It's a pity that after arriving in Tianjin Wei, I haven't followed this rule yet.
I really lost my job.
In Peiping and Tianjin Wei, there must be many spies like Geng Mingjun.
Many business groups or chambers of commerce should have a large number of spies pretending to be Chinese businessmen. While they are making profits, they are also monitoring all economic secrets.
Like Geng Mingjun, he has been in the coal trading industry for seven years. What secrets can he keep from him?
Maybe, he himself is a small boss. He also brought many younger brothers with him.
With the support of the Japanese invaders behind him, he will definitely climb up step by step. It may eventually control a significant portion of the coal trade.
hehe.
There are new ideas.
