Maokawaxiu remained silent.
I feel that when I met Zhang Yong, it was like a scholar meeting a soldier, and I couldn't explain why.
I have never seen such a rogue Zhang Yong.
Really, never.
As they said, we are agents and spies. We are professional. Don't talk about money all day long. As a result, this guy insisted on asking for money.
Too vulgar.
How could this be? You are really ruining the reputation of our profession...
"You can bargain."
"What?"
"If you ask for a high price, pay it back on the spot. You have the right to make a counteroffer."
"one thousand!"
Maokawaxiu shouted hurriedly.
Zhang Yong:......
Look at the other person with caring eyes.
I'll let you make a counteroffer. Not for you to fantasize.
one thousand?
OK. A thigh comes out. Don't even think about other parts.
"two thousand!"
Maokawaxiu quickly changed his tune.
The counter-offer just now was indeed too much. Two thousand is fine.
Then I realized something was wrong.
two thousand?
That's too much. no. no.
More than fifty people. Two thousand each. That’s one hundred thousand! A hundred thousand oceans! How can that work?
"make a deal!"
Zhang Yong readily agreed.
Two thousand is two thousand. It’s real when you get it.
If the lion opens his mouth, Shigekawa Hide will not be able to bring it out. Wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
"no……"
Maokawaxiu responded subconsciously.
Two thousand is so expensive. I disagree. I just said it wrong. I want to change my words...
"Are you going to give three thousand?"
"No!"
Maochuanxiu's whole body was filled with excitement.
forgotten. The guy sitting in front of him was nicknamed "Desperate for Money."
Every stone will produce oil.
You have to pay for any mosquitoes that fly over.
Finally he agreed. It was settled on two thousand for each person. If you change your mind, it will start at three thousand. Is that okay?
Fifty people, total price is over 100,000. It's not impossible to grit your teeth.
There are so many traitors anyway.
There is also the Manchukuo Treasury...
Yoshiko Kawashima will be responsible for this money as always.
Finally, praise her more from now on. It made her feel like she was really Japanese. Then he was slaughtered willingly. Until she was squeezed out of her last copper, she was kicked away and sold to the madam as a secret prostitute...
"That means you agreed?"
"Promise! Promise! Two thousand each. You can't increase it any more!"
"None of us can change."
Maochuanxiu hurriedly insisted on this matter. Don't give Zhang Yong a chance to regret.
Judging from Zhang Yong's appearance, he obviously felt that he was at a loss. The other party proposed five thousand, and I bargained for two thousand, which was a full 60% reduction!
For a time, Maochuanxiu felt full of accomplishment.
In any case, Doihara Kenji saw the dawn of the successful completion of the task assigned to him.
"You can't go back on your word!" Maokawa emphasized repeatedly.
"Okay!" Zhang Yong nodded.
Do I regret it?
Ha ha! What do I regret?
I'm just not trustworthy. I have no regrets...
Wait for the people from the 29th Army to take over. I take the money and leave. The rest of the things have nothing to do with me. Ha ha. Ha ha.
Those beautiful tea art girls then quietly saw that Zhang Yong was "crazy" again.
It always seems like a person is laughing secretly there...
But I don’t know what I’m laughing at.
"By the way. Have you seen Cheporov?"
"who?"
"Cheporov is in there too. Didn't you see?"
"I don't know about Cheporov. Didn't you mean a gangster?"
"Ah, that's right."
Zhang Yong was quick to follow his advice. Said he made a mistake.
Where is the Cheporov? No. No. Cheporov is dead. The news of his death has long been announced.
so……
That one inside is not Cheporov!
Even if you peel off his skin, he is not...
"Who are you asking for money? Who will give Cheporov money?" Maokawaxiu suddenly became curious.
"I don't know either. How about you give me some advice?" Zhang Yong asked humbly.
real.
He was asking seriously.
Because he really didn’t know who to blackmail Chiporov.
That guy's brother is in Shanghai. The mountains are long and the rivers are far away. can not be reached. It may be useless to contact him.
Maybe, what is the name of Cheporov's brother? What husband? Maybe I really hope Cheporov is dead. Then inherit everything from his brother. When the time comes that it's self-defeating, it's over.
"How do I know?" Maochuanxiu immediately refused. I thought to myself, even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.
"Okay." Zhang Yong had no choice but to nod regretfully.
It seemed that Cheporov had no chance to come out. We can only kill him.
If you can't get the money, you have to kill the person.
"Look at this number." Zhang Yong pushed a piece of paper to Maochuanxiu.
Maokawaxiu took it over doubtfully. frown.
can't read.
It's written in Arabic numerals. 733.
"What's this?"
"It's everyone in Zhuyuan."
"What?"
"Everyone is correct. I counted them carefully. Seven hundred and thirty-three in total."
"you……"
"Two thousand each. Seven hundred and thirty-three in total. No problem."
"you……"
Maokawaxiu wanted to vomit blood.
Just walk away if you want. Never come back again.
People like Zhang Yong have no credibility at all. Negotiating with him is a waste of time.
idiot!
More than seven hundred people!
More than 700 people appeared out of nowhere!
Do you want everyone in the bamboo garden to depend on me?
Don’t even think about it!
"Impossible!" Maochuanxiu blurted out.
"Why?" Zhang Yong asked calmly.
"We only have more than fifty people. The others have nothing to do with us."
"How do you prove it?"
"I……"
"Unless you hand over all their identity information to me. I will check them one by one. Otherwise, how do I know if you have also let the Jiangyang thief go?"
"Zhang Yong, if you want to cheat, just say so!"
"I'm seriously discussing the problem with you now. It's useless for you to be angry."
"I……"
Maokawaxiu finally turned around and left.
I no longer want to say another word to Zhang Yong. Otherwise, it will be a humiliation to oneself.
He came out angrily.
Go all the way to the outside of the blockade.
He was going back to mobilize the military police. Convince the garrison headquarters.
He will take the most violent measures.
However……
I glanced sideways and saw many foreign reporters.
They are found in every country in the world. Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain...
Suddenly I felt bad.
There is no doubt that these foreign reporters were all called by Zhang Yong.
His purpose is to use foreign reporters to keep an eye on Zhuyuan. If the Japanese army takes militarized actions, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
The current international public opinion is actually unfavorable to Japan because of the relationship with Manchukuo.
For this reason, Japan angrily withdrew from the League of Nations.
If it continues to cause negative impacts, Shigekawa Show cannot judge the possible consequences.
The current Prime Minister Okada Keisuke is very dissatisfied with the North China garrison. I feel like the military is opening a new base again. But resources are not enough. More flowers will please neither end. Only expenses and no income. leading to a sharp increase in the fiscal deficit.
As a sign of serious dissatisfaction, General Okada Keisuke sent back a report requesting an increase in soldiers' food expenses. Didn't even say why. Reject directly. He also vowed that as long as he is in office, the military department will not even think about increasing military expenditures by one cent.
Food expenses are set to death.
That's 22 cents per day. Not one centimeter more.
Threatened to do so unless he died. Or quit.
For this reason, Prime Minister Hayashi Jujuro almost started a fight with Okada Keisuke on the spot.
Of course, this is hearsay.
But it also shows from the side that the contradiction between the military department and the cabinet has reached an irreconcilable point.
If at this time, foreign newspapers continue to report wildly that the military is fighting at Tianjin Wei University. I'm afraid Okada Keisuke will just go berserk. Maybe, he would go directly to the Imperial Council. Let the military boss explain. Hayashi Jujuro will also be in a difficult situation.
hateful……
Helplessly calm down.
Taking overt militarized action is probably not feasible.
Otherwise, Kenji Doihara would not have called him and asked him to find a way to save the people inside.
trouble……
What a hassle...
Are you going back again?
Ah, ah, are you shameless?
I just fell out with Zhang Yong, and then I turned around and said I was wrong?
idiot……
So humiliating...
He couldn't accept it.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Agency!"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Agency!"
At this moment, someone came in a hurry.
He conveyed the greetings of Kenji Doihara to Shigekawa Hide. And gave Maochuanxiu a phone number.
"Your Excellency, the Chief of the Agency, Your Excellency, the General, please call him before midnight tonight." The person reminded.
"I know." Maochuanxiu couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
Is this a phone call?
This is an ultimatum.
Just as things have to be resolved before midnight tonight. Otherwise, he, Mokawa Hide, would have to commit seppuku.
Look at the time. It's three o'clock in the afternoon.
There are still nine hours until early morning. There seems to be plenty of time.
However, Maokawaxiu knew that time was useless.
Things will not become easier just because time delays them. It will only get worse.
Because Zhang Yong is a bastard...
This bastard is so disgusting.
More than seven hundred people!
Two thousand each!
That’s more than a million oceans!
How could he, Mao Chuanxiu, agree? Even after selling it!
no!
Absolutely not!
Suddenly something feels wrong...
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw many Chinese troops approaching.
Familiar military uniforms...
Familiar weapons...
It seems to be a unit of the 29th Army of the Chinese Army?
Why are they here?
"What's going on?" Maochuanxiu asked hurriedly.
"Your Excellency, the Chinese army sent a regiment to surround Zhuyuan. They said they wanted to capture Jiangyang bandits." someone answered.
"Oh..." Maokawaxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The 29th Army will take over. very good. Ten thousand times better than Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong had no need to discuss. But the 29th Army can be negotiated. It is much easier to negotiate with the 29th Army.
In every negotiation, the top brass of the 29th Army would make concessions.
But something feels wrong. What did you seem to see?
Deadly. He saw the mountain cannon.
It's a 75mm field gun. The Chinese army pushed it up too.
Not one.
There seem to be two doors.
His heart sank involuntarily.
What are you doing pushing the mountain cannon up?
Are you going to bombard Zhuyuan?
Are you going to blow up everyone inside?
idiot!
hateful!
Maochuanxiu's whole body was filled with excitement.
He turned around quickly and ran away. He didn't care that he was humiliated again.
"I want to see Zhang Yong!"
"I want to see Zhang Yong!"
"I beg you, I have something very important to see Zhang Yong..."
