The Caogang is a big gang.
It is a collective name for a large group of people. It is related to the water transportation in the past.
In the past, Beiping relied heavily on water transportation for the import of foreign materials. Many practitioners. millions of.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Where there are rivers and lakes, there are gangs. Caobang came into being.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, water transport declined, and the number of water transport practitioners gradually decreased. Transformed into Qinggang on the spot. Therefore, the Cao Gang and the Qing Gang have a close relationship.
Regarding the historical evolution in this area, Fuxing Society actually has very detailed information.
It's a pity that Zhang Yong was too lazy and didn't look carefully.
When he reads information, he likes to see something novel and interesting.
For example, the Lincheng train robbery.
It mentioned a very powerful person, Sun Guizhi, who was the planner of the train robbery.
His strength lies not in planning, but in escaping.
After hunting for more than ten years, he was not caught. I have to say, this guy is really awesome.
If he were still alive now, he should be a great person.
On the contrary, the bandit leader who finally accepted the recruitment was killed less than half a year after his good life. It fell cleanly.
"The Cao Gang has also taken refuge with you Japanese?"
"Do you think it's strange? All your knowledgeable people think that the only way out is to surrender to our Empire of Japan."
"Right."
Zhang Yong actually nodded.
Xia Lan's words are not completely arrogant.
In fact, the situation at that time was indeed very unfavorable to China. The Japanese invaders were indeed very powerful.
One is a purely backward agricultural country. There is hardly any industry.
Even matches and nails have to be imported.
Through the Meiji Restoration, it successfully became a semi-industrial country. Almost all industrial products can be produced.
In terms of military industry, the Japanese invaders were still very developed.
You can despise the performance of crooked handles. Contempt the Japanese invaders for their short stature. However, others are constantly producing weapons and ammunition.
Other army soldiers can shoot 200 rounds of ammunition every month!
Can produce its own tanks.
Can produce heavy artillery by itself.
Can produce its own aircraft.
The Japanese navy was even able to design and build battleships with a displacement of more than 70,000 tons!
Even in a few decades, few countries in the world will be able to achieve this level of warships. However, the Yamato Hotel was put into service in 1940.
There are also several aircraft carriers.
This is almost a dimensionality reduction strike.
Even the bravest soldiers at the time had only confidence that China would not perish. But no one has confidence that we will ultimately win.
In the darkest days, no one knows where victory lies.
Even if the Japanese invaders announced their unconditional surrender, many people still couldn't believe it. Because, even on the day when the Japanese invaders officially surrendered, the Japanese invaders in front of them were still very powerful.
This is an objective fact.
No one can cover it up.
Especially those who have returned from studying in Japan feel that the gap between the two sides is really too big.
Under the sweet talk of the Japanese, many people surrendered and became traitors.
"It's not too late for you to change your stance."
"No."
Zhang Yong shook his head.
Xia Lan frowned.
This guy is still stubborn and stubborn!
"you……"
“Have you ever heard of a short-lived flash in the pan when the fire cooks the oil?”
"What's the meaning?"
"You still have ten years."
"You are being mysterious again."
"I'm serious. The crazier you are now, the more defeated you will be in ten years."
"snort!"
Xia Lan dismissed it.
Although her body was forcibly occupied by him.
However, her heart will not give in. She was still trying to win him over.
As an excellent female spy. Her body, her beauty, are also her weapons. As long as Zhang Yong can be lured over to serve the Japanese Empire, everything will be worth it!
Ten years later, defeat? Such nonsense that only an idiot would believe his nonsense.
"When are you going to take action?"
"Passed Wuqing Station."
"Oh, it's not too late."
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
The Cao Gang actually wanted to rob the train. Incredible.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, so he decided to get off at Wuqing Station. Then sit back and watch.
"What? You want to get off?"
"if not?"
"you……"
Xia Lan was speechless.
She thought Zhang Yong would directly fight the Cao Gang.
Zhang Yong was accompanied by more than thirty people. All are heavily armed. It doesn't seem that difficult to clean up Caogang.
At least there is a chance to fight.
However, I didn't expect that this guy would actually run away in advance.
Oops……
The information she had just leaked was in vain.
"What?"
"Can't you be tougher and kill the robbers directly?"
"cannot."
Zhang Yong speaks out.
Kill the robbers for what? There is no merit.
There are many people in Caogang, and if a fight breaks out, there will definitely be casualties on our side. It would be bad if he got hit by a stray bullet.
To put it more seriously, in the event of a fight, everyone in the car would be in danger.
To put it mildly, Zhang Yong is in danger.
If there is danger, why take the risk?
Wouldn’t it be nice to get off at Wuqing Station in advance?
After the Cao Gang successfully hijacked the train and caused a big fuss, he would come out to clean up the mess.
During this process, it’s also good to see how everyone reacts.
It is better to stir up the wind and stir up the thunder, so that the whole world will know about it. Making headlines in newspapers around the world.
hey-hey. This is how you get credit!
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. It is indeed great. But, there is no oil or water!
Thankless…
stand up. look up. Observe before and after.
Let’s first look at how many foreigners there are. They are the real hostages.
In the previous Lincheng train robbery, the target was foreigners. Only they have value. Talent can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
If the hijackers are Chinese people. hehe. Mostly no one cares.
The society at that time was so realistic.
Five, ten, fifteen...
Zhang Yong silently counted. There were twenty-seven foreigners in sight. There are still a few carriages that are out of sight, and there may still be them.
There are quite a few people. After all, it is a train from Tianjin Wei to Peking. It's normal to have dozens of foreigners.
There may be some more distinguished ones inside.
If they were kidnapped by the Cao Gang, it would definitely cause a sensation. Then just quietly pay attention to the development of the situation.
"Old Cao!"
"exist!"
"Pack your things and get off immediately at Wuqing Station!"
"good!"
Cao Mengqi immediately went to make arrangements.
He is extremely lazy now. If you can use your brain, you will definitely use your brain.
He will do whatever Zhang Yong tells him. I don’t even ask why I got off the bus.
"You guys also get out of the car."
Zhang Yong pointed at Yi Honghai and other three Japanese invaders.
Yi Honghai and the three of them looked at each other, but they all couldn't figure it out. I had to agree.
Soon, the train arrived at Wuqing Station smoothly.
The train hasn't stopped yet.
"Walk!"
"Walk!"
Zhang Yong urged.
Everyone gets off the bus. Including Xia Lan.
After stepping onto the ground platform, Zhang Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief. good. It's safe.
Silently monitor the surroundings. No abnormalities were found.
Xia Lan should be silent. It shouldn't be to scare yourself.
The Japanese invaders were temporarily incapable and sent out large troops to surround Wuqing Station. So, calm down.
"You are such a coward."
"I suddenly felt that you came to remind me on purpose."
"What?"
"Actually, you don't want me to stay on the train and affect the hijacking operation. Right?"
"Hmph. You're thinking too much."
"Oh, I'm right."
Zhang Yong knew that her appearance was unkind.
Her original plan probably did not include herself. She didn't expect that she was on the train.
Not only was he on the train, he was also taking dozens of people with him.
Once the Cao Gang takes action, the two sides will fight and the hijacking operation may fail. So, she decided to remind herself. Well, that must be the case.
"you……"
Xia Lan was speechless.
This guy is really smart.
She had no intention of reminding him. She didn't expect that he would see through his disguise.
She told him the information about the train hijacking in order to stimulate him into a fight with the Cao Gang. Once the two sides fight, maybe he will be unlucky.
result……
He didn't even know where he was going.
It's so self-indulgent...
"Old Cao!"
"coming!"
"Find a place to rest. After eating and drinking, we will go back to Tianjin Wei."
"good!"
Cao Mengqi went to make arrangements.
Soon, they found a landowner's house.
The host is very welcoming. Welcome them all inside. The landlord's house is big enough.
Have a meal.
rest.
Drag Xia Lan to spend the night together.
Have the robbers started fighting over there? have no idea.
who cares!
As long as you're not there, that's fine.
One night I couldn't think about Shu.
Xia Lan wanted to instigate rebellion against him, so she naturally catered to him in every possible way.
Get up in the morning. The atmosphere is calm.
Find the phone number and call back to the Shihu Street headquarters to report that everything is safe.
Why didn't you fight last night? hehe. Wait for the robbery to happen!
If an advance report was made, the butterfly wings would flap, causing the train robbery to be cancelled. Wouldn't that be a waste of work?
It was Li Boqi who answered the phone.
Li Boqi got straight to the point, "Do you know about the train hijacking?"
"Train hijack? Really? When?" Zhang Yong did not mince words, "I knew in advance. What is the situation now?"
"The intelligence is very confusing. I don't have any more information from my side."
"I knew that the Cao Gang was going to hijack the train. So, I got off the train in advance to avoid a fight that would cause widespread casualties."
"you do not know."
"Yes. I don't know."
Zhang Yong corrected him immediately.
The truth can be told to Li Boqi. But you can't tell anyone else.
After returning home, Li Boqi felt free to scold him. But after scolding him, he would wipe his butt. Help him cover up. So, he doesn't know anything.
What robbery?
What Cao Gang?
I've never heard of it...
Why did you get off the bus early at Wuqing Station? Because I'm going on a mission!
What task?
Sorry, this is the secret of our Fuxing Society and I can’t tell you...
"The wind is blowing, come back as soon as possible!"
"yes."
"The train is blocked. Use other means of transportation. Pay attention to safety on the road. Don't cause trouble."
"yes!"
Zhang Yong agreed sternly.
When Li Boqi said the wind has risen, it means the wind has risen.
The train has been hijacked, and there are so many foreigners on it, which will inevitably cause shock to all parties.
Even if it's a matter of appointment, I'm afraid I'll have to ask questions.
After all, it is a matter of "friendly countries". No carelessness is allowed. Encircling and suppressing the Red Army was not as important as rescuing "friendly countries". hey-hey.
Find a way to go back to Tianjin Wei.
Throw money. Find transportation.
Returned to Tianjin Wei smoothly. It took more than a day on the road.
Return to No. 49 Shihu Street. Come and see Li Boqi. Sure enough, I was educated. Said he did it too obviously. Too revealing.
"You should get off at Langfang Station."
"But at that time, I didn't know that someone was going to hijack the train!"
"What happened to those three Japanese?"
"I suspect they are related to the robbery of Marshal Cao's mansion in Peiping."
"These Japanese are really lawless. They dare to go to Peking to rob. The people over there are also incompetent. The investigation ended without any success."
"I guess I was put under pressure by the Japanese. I don't dare to anger the Japanese."
"They don't dare. We dare. Lock up all three of them. Torture them well. But not here with us."
"I know. He is locked up in Baolin Temple."
"That's a good place. Just keep it there. Treat it well."
"clear!"
Zhang Yong agreed. You must be satisfied with this reception.
Chili pepper water, tiger stool, and soldering iron are all the same. Not interesting. Think back and think carefully about any new tricks...
"Yang Lichu has returned to Jinling safely."
"oh."
"Everything is safe. Virgo is very satisfied. Special praise to you."
"That's good."
"The Virgo has ordered that the people brought by Yang Shanfu will stay here for the time being and work together. The train has been hijacked, which is a serious matter. The Virgo may come in person."
"ah?"
Zhang Yong was shocked. Virgo wants to end it personally?
Then relief came. If this matter was ordered by Lao Jiang, Virgo really must come. It must also be dealt with.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Li Boqi picked up the phone. Listen carefully. I didn't hang up the phone for a long time.
Zhang Yong habitually wanted to run away. As a result, Li Boqi waved to him to stay. have no choice. I had to stand obediently. Listening on the sidelines. I understand it’s Boss Dai calling.
After a while, Li Boqi hung up the phone. "Have you heard everything? The Virgo attaches great importance to it. He was worried that the telegram could not be explained clearly, so he especially borrowed the telephone line of the Ministry of Military Affairs."
"What are your orders, Virgo?"
"The situation is not yet clear. The ministers of seven countries including Britain, France, Germany and Italy have submitted notes, requesting that the matter be properly handled, the safety of the hostages ensured, and the perpetrators severely punished. Minister Song of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already replied that the matter will be properly handled to the satisfaction of all countries. "
"Isn't the murderer Japanese?"
"Do you have evidence? Without evidence, the Japanese will protest."
"Did the Japanese not protest this time?"
"not yet."
"Strange, what are they doing? Isn't there three hundred taels of silver in this place?"
"You forgot. This matter is on the territory of the 29th Army. There is a Chaji Political Affairs Committee here. Even the committee's orders are not easy to implement."
"them……"
Zhang Yong stopped talking. never mind. Too lazy to say anything.
They are all understanding people. Know what's going on here. The commissioned order is actually of no use.
Just listen if you want to. If you don't want to listen, just treat it as transparent.
In the Pingjin area, there are no confidants garrisoned by the commissioner. There is only the 29th Army. What weight does the appointment have?
"When the commissioner found out about this, he was very angry."
"That……"
Zhang Yong stopped talking.
Very angry again? Does he like to be angry that much?
never mind. After all, it is a commission. It’s normal to be angry. Originally I had the advantage, but I ended up being a bunch of losers...
In any case, Zhang Yong's desired effect was achieved.
It will probably make the headlines tomorrow. Then newspapers in various countries will reprint it.
Then……
The Pingjin area is going to be lively.
