"What's going on?"
"Please go to Kailuan Coal Mine immediately."
"do what?"
"There's something big going on over there. It's very urgent."
"What's the big deal?"
"Five Englishmen were killed. The murderer is unknown."
"Is it serious?"
"Isn't this serious?"
"It doesn't seem as serious as the train robbery."
"The train robbery can't be solved in half a month. Why are you so anxious?"
"Half a month..."
"What's happening now is of a tentative nature. There won't be any substantial progress. It's just a waste of time for you to stay here."
"Right!"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Mei Lu hit the nail on the head. Coming to the key point. The train robbery will definitely not be solved that quickly.
It requires coordination from all parties.
Need to bargain.
The asking price is high, and the money is paid back on arrival. It takes time.
How long did the previous Lincheng train robbery take? It seems like it took more than a month.
This time, the Japanese were involved in the train robbery, making the situation more complicated. It could last for two or three months. There is really no need for him to appear so early.
Appearing last is the final word.
Good wild return to bottom.
Okay, let’s go to Kailuan Coal Mine first. but……
Mei Lu seemed to know what he was thinking, and whispered: "It will be beneficial for you to go to Kailuan Coal Mine now."
"Oh? What's the benefit?" Zhang Yong immediately cheered up.
Secretly despise myself.
My eyes light up when I hear the benefits. There is really no ideological consciousness at all.
However, benefits do bring motivation.
A common man like him is probably hopeless.
"A batch of gold was lost in the mine. It may be hundreds of kilograms." Mei Lu said in a low voice.
"Really?" Zhang Yong was dubious.
"It was because so much gold was lost that the British suspected that Japanese spies were responsible."
"I see."
Zhang Yong thought carefully.
More than a hundred pounds of gold is indeed exciting.
but……
It's a British thing. Not easy to swallow.
With the British people's peeing habits, after arriving at the Kailuan Coal Mine, there will definitely be a lot of people watching.
It was very difficult for him to embezzle the gold.
In other words, it was this gold that had nothing to do with him. At most, it’s just an eye-sore.
"I heard that there are many bandits around the Kailuan Coal Mine?"
"Not many..."
"There is, right!"
"Indeed."
Mei Lu nodded. Yes.
There are indeed many bandits around the Kailuan Coal Mine. They robbed homes and houses, killed people and stole goods.
Due to historical reasons, there are many armed groups of various types in the eastern Hebei area. There are regular soldiers who turn into bandits. There are also local militia groups running rampant in the countryside. There are also native bandits.
This is a no-nonsense zone. Ji Province cannot control it. Rehe can't manage it. The puppet Manchukuo cannot control it.
For many people who escaped from the puppet Manchukuo, their first choice was Jidong. Therefore, Jidong is simply a natural bandit nest.
There are also many groups of bandits active around the Kailuan Coal Mine. They are parasites attached to coal mines. No matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of the coal mine.
"Why do you ask?"
"Nothing? Life is precious, safety first."
"When are you leaving?"
"We have to wait until daybreak."
"Why?"
"I need to call Li Boqi to report."
"you……"
Mei Lu had no choice but to agree.
Zhang Yong's request is not too much.
No matter how anxious the British were, Zhang Yong could not act without authorization.
After all, the Fuxing Society has discipline.
then……
Suddenly he was hugged by Zhang Yong...
She bit her lip lightly, not resisting very much...
A night of fun.
When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Yong called Li Boqi to explain the matter.
"The situation here is very complicated. It's okay if you leave for a while. However, the situation in Zhuyuan must be resolved." Li Boqi said, "You must be there in person."
"I understand." Zhang Yong hung up the phone and opened his hands to Mei Lu, "You heard it all..."
"Then let's deal with Zhuyuan first!" Mei Lu bit her lip.
What could she say?
All I can say is that this guy is too popular.
If you don't catch it in time, it will be snatched away by others immediately.
Therefore, even she had to find a way to keep him. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find him to work with in the future.
"good!"
Zhang Yong set off in a hurry.
Came to the vicinity of Bamboo Garden.
This side is still surrounded by water.
It is impossible for people inside the Bamboo Garden to come out. To come out is to die.
Call up. Find Chiporov. The map shows that Cheporov is still alive.
It is estimated that the last internal strife made him and the Japanese invaders realize that if they continue to fight, they will only die together. When the time comes, Zhang Yong will be advantaged in vain. So I stopped.
"I'm Zhang Yong! Ask Cheporov to answer the phone..."
"Snapped!"
The phone was hung up.
Zhang Yong:......
All right. Then there's no way.
It seems that I won’t receive any money today. We have no choice but to take action.
Take out the grenade immediately.
Set up.
"puff!"
"boom!"
The grenade landed in the bamboo garden.
The explosion was seen in the distance. But there is no way to determine the exact location.
It didn't seem to hit anyone. Pity.
He could barely move his right hand. But it's not flexible yet. The grenade's aim was seriously off.
Alas, I'm so slightly injured that I can't get out of the firing line. When will Virgo see this and give me another reward?
"puff!"
Another grenade was launched.
No matter where it lands. Just keep firing.
He didn't believe it. Not a single enemy was hit. My luck shouldn't be that bad...
"boom……"
"boom……"
Several grenades exploded in succession.
The people inside finally couldn't bear it anymore. Someone tried to break out.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Immediately came under rifle fire. Killed on the spot.
If I say I won’t let you out, I won’t let you out. No matter who you are, you will die if you come out.
This is Zhang Yong's order. Just enforce it strictly.
No matter who you kill, it's not your responsibility.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Intermittent gunfire.
Several more targets were killed. They are all trying to rush out.
He seems to be from the Blue Dragon Society. But not Japanese invaders. He must be a hardcore traitor. The Japanese invaders themselves were afraid of death, so they sent traitors out to test the situation.
As it turns out, there are no exceptions.
No matter who dares to come out, they will be beaten to death.
finally……
It is quite now. No one dared try it again.
The scattered corpses lying on the ground told them that if they wanted to come out, they could only agree to Zhang Yong's conditions.
What conditions?
Give me money!
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Finally, the phone rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the microphone casually. not talking.
"I give……"
came Cheporov's weak voice.
I don’t know if he was hit by a bomb or if he was injured due to internal strife.
"One hundred thousand dollars."
Zhang Yong repeated the emphasis.
You should have told me earlier. If you give us the money early, we will all be happy.
I'm very busy. Things must be sorted out today. If you don't agree, you will only be covered by artillery fire.
"I'll go to Citibank with you..."
"good!"
Zhang Yong smiled happily.
You see, it's about to explode. Big artillery is useful.
No matter how powerful you are, Cheporov, can you be more powerful than a cannonball?
However, the remaining Japanese invaders seemed to have quite strong bones. There was no movement at all.
But it does not matter. He is now setting fires everywhere. The Japanese invaders must have too much to take care of themselves.
He is good at catching Japanese spies. He is good at wreaking havoc. He is also good at murder and arson. It's definitely not enough success and more than enough failure. Ha ha.
Waiting for Cheporov to come out.
"The sky in the liberated areas is sunny..."
"That sunny day in Jiujiu..."
I felt so happy that I hummed a tune involuntarily.
The people nearby heard it and were confused. I don't understand it at all. Feeling like you’re not quite up to the occasion?
After waiting for a long time, Cheporov finally came out.
His situation was a bit miserable. He was actually wearing a strap-on. Clearly injured. There was blood oozing from the wound.
Sure enough, he was hit by a grenade. He needs to go to the hospital. Otherwise, he will die if the wound becomes infected.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Yong looked at the other party with a deliberate smile.
"Not bad." Cheporov laughed dryly.
Laughing is worse than crying.
Only God knows what he is thinking in his heart.
However, in front of Zhang Yong, he really did not dare to have any other ideas. Otherwise, he would truly be dead.
suspended animation. There is a purpose. If it becomes real death. That's it.
"please!"
"please!"
The two came to Citibank.
Withdrawing cash is not possible. Not that much cash.
So, Zhang Yong opened an account, and Cheporov transferred $100,000 to Zhang Yong's account.
Done.
This account is used worldwide.
Even in the United States, you can withdraw U.S. dollars. However, reservation is required. Because it needs to be verified over there.
How to verify?
Of course, it was via transoceanic long-distance telegraph.
Therefore, withdrawals from other places also require handling fees. This handling fee is the cost of the telegram.
About $100.
"Let's go!"
"You first."
Cheporov was nervous. He was afraid that Zhang Yong would kill him.
He didn't dare to walk in front of Zhang Yong. Instead, Zhang Yong was asked to leave first.
Zhang Yong then left quickly.
Too lazy to pay attention to Cheporov.
Since the money has been collected, he must be released. He definitely has Zhang Yong's credibility.
Children and old people are not deceived.
You want money! It's not like he's going to die.
Put Cheporov back and jump around for a while, then catch him again. That’s a new story again…
Return to the Bamboo Garden area.
So miserable. Very busy. There is still a group of Japanese invaders that need to be dealt with.
Forget it, colleague Zhang Yunqing prepares mortars. Just use mortars to kill all the Japanese invaders inside...
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly the phone rang.
Picking up the phone. It's Maokawaxiu calling.
Zhang Yong deliberately ignored the other party. not talking. Just wait for the other party to show their final trump card. Otherwise, just shoot.
"I know you stay at the Peace Hotel."
"That's right."
"You come to room 628."
"good!"
Zhang Yong didn't ask why.
At this point, if Maokawaxiu continues to do tricks, he is seeking death.
Arrive at Peace Hotel.
It was discovered that Shigekawa Hide was not there. There was no one in room 628.
Not surprisingly. Open the door.
There is a suitcase inside.
Yes, the Japanese finally surrendered. It was finally time to pay.
However, this matter cannot be made public. The Japanese invaders did not want outsiders to know about this. After all, paying a ransom is a shameful thing.
Open it, and there are banknotes inside. A box full.
Fully half a million.
Unfortunately, they are all from Guoshang Bank. Can only be used in North China.
There is also the mark of the Puppet Manchukuo on the tie. It hasn't been cleared yet.
It is probably contributed by Yoshiko Kawashima again.
Mad, this woman is so rich!
Where on earth did she get so many banknotes? So envious.
It's a pity that I tried to catch this woman several times, but failed. Now, the woman has completely disappeared and seems to have disappeared.
It is said to be in Peiping. But I don’t know where it is in Peiping.
Maybe it's hidden. Or perhaps he was performing some secret mission. It is speculated that she has a big plan.
well……
Forget it, it's better than nothing.
The purpose of the first step has been achieved. I won’t care about the follow-up.
Move all the suitcases and everything back to Li Boqi. All banknotes were handed over. One hundred thousand dollars is also stated.
Let Li Boqi take care of everything. He is a connoisseur.
Zhang Yong is going to Kailuan Coal Mine now.
"wait!"
Li Boqi returned the $100,000 account to him.
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
Um? Give me this hundred thousand dollars?
Not so generous, right? This is one hundred thousand dollars! Not a small amount.
"This is for the Air Raid Department."
"oh."
Zhang Yong understood.
The so-called empty fund department is actually that lady.
Turning it over to the empty fund department is actually turning it over to the lady. Because that lady is better at using dollars.
Frankly speaking, the U.S. dollar cannot play a big role in the hands of the Renaissance Society. Because Fuxingshe cannot directly purchase from outside. Even if I have US dollars, I have no way to spend them.
Only the empty fund department can.
The short-term financing department can directly trade with foreigners in US dollars. Especially trading with Americans.
One hundred thousand dollars can buy almost ten airplanes.
If it is a Hawker 3, without other equipment, the price of each aircraft will not exceed US$10,000.
If you have the opportunity to buy a German bf109, the unit price is only around US$15,000 at most. If you include various ancillary equipment, the cost would be US$20,000 at most.
But the P-38 Lightning fighter, the Twin Devil, is super expensive. One costs $90,000.
No way, Lockheed's products can be summed up in one word: expensive. There is no most expensive, only more expensive.
Okay, hold it for now. Then turn it over to the empty fund department.
Buying back ten aircraft as soon as possible can also be considered as preparation for future resistance against Japan.
Say your goodbyes and come out.
"Captain, Jin Xiuzhu wants to see you."
"good!"
Zhang Yong agreed immediately.
By the way, this Korean girl is not bad looking.
all natural. There is no miraculous plastic surgery of later generations. Although it is an enemy. But it’s also pretty eye-catching.
The point is, he always feels that this woman has a secret.
Maybe she has some information. But he was reluctant to say it. So squeeze out the toothpaste little by little.
They are all very smart women.
Under normal circumstances, he would be played to death.
fortunately……
There is a system!
Soon, Jin Xiuzhu came.
She looked a little tired. Probably thinking too much.
"Ms. Jin, do you have any information?"
"I remembered something."
"Say it!"
"Park Changyong and the others are planning a train robbery..."
"time and location."
"I don't know. I just know there's a plan."
"Is it related to the Cao Gang?"
"Eh? You know everything?"
"No. I don't know. A Japanese female spy told me."
"ah?"
"She is my woman now. She cares about me. So she told me in advance. I happened to be on the train and got off early."
"no……"
Jin Xiuzhu was confused.
Getting off the bus early? Why?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the robbers be eliminated directly?
Why did you sneak away quietly?
"What other information do you have?"
"I……"
"If it's okay, just go back!"
"I said, I said, I also know that the Black Dragon has several groups of people lurking in Beiping..."
"What are they going to do?"
"Keep an eye on your national treasure."
"What national treasure?"
"Inside the Forbidden City."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong nodded silently.
A national treasure in the Forbidden City? That's it.
With the ability of the Japanese invaders, if they wanted to steal it, it would be almost effortless.
Even the commander-in-chief’s mansion dared to rob it openly. Not to mention the Forbidden City?
Decided to take Jin Xiuzhu on the road.
Walking all the way, squeezing toothpaste along the way. There may be some unexpected gains.
