Zhang Yong followed the spy "Seinfeld" into Asia's shop.
This is the largest pawnshop in Hangzhou. There are five shops lined up in a row, which is magnificent. At first glance, it seems that the financial resources are very strong.
No matter what it is, you can use it to impress the shopkeeper here.
As long as you have it, you can make an offer.
Of course, the price can be quite low.
Other people's homes have 30 oceans, but here it may only have 25 oceans.
The difference is just that big. But its business is good.
Without him, it dares to invent the invention.
The so-called bright objects are the burial objects dug out of the ground.
If it were placed in later generations, every minute would start in three years. The highest limit is indefinite. But now, no one cares.
A large amount of treasures were lost in this way.
Zhang Yong looked around sideways. I found that the place was crowded. There are a lot of tomb robbers.
Many people have gold marks on their bodies. It shows that they all carry gold objects dug out of the ground. What it is specifically, I don’t know. But it should be expensive. Many people exchanged hundreds of silver dollars. Went happily.
The shopkeeper carefully wrapped the received utensils in red silk. Then put it up. Packing. Then they are pushed to the warehouse at the back. These are all dead ends. In fact, it is a buyout. The price is higher. It will never be redeemed again. It is tantamount to selling in disguise.
The spy came to the counter and handed the jade butterfly over.
The counter here is nothing fancy. It's just an ordinary counter. Makes people feel more comfortable.
"Hold on."
The teller took Jade Butterfly to the back.
Soon after, a blond foreigner appeared. Very tall.
He looked at Song Fei and Zhang Yong up and down, without saying anything, and made a gesture of invitation. Take them out through the side door. Come to an open space outside.
Here are some simple tables, chairs and benches. They are all made of wood. Very bulky. But very strong.
"Please sit down." The foreigner said in Chinese.
Not well said.
But not bad either.
Can communicate normally.
Zhang Yong then sat down. Seinfeld just sat down. Then there are the foreigners.
"My name is Wiggins."
"Mr. Wiggins, I am entrusted by someone..."
"I've seen you. You were also present when we traded at Jinshanwei last time."
"Yes. Mr. Wiggins, you have a very good memory."
"Who is he? I've never seen him."
"He is the son of our head family. Come with me."
"To spy on you?"
"this……"
Seinfeld said nothing.
Zhang Yong looked unmoved.
This Wiggins speaks very directly.
That's right, I'm just here to monitor the other party. What? Any questions?
“You Chinese people have such a low level of trust.”
"Mr. Wiggins..."
"Just tell me. How many of you need to come on board?"
"Fifty."
"Five hundred dollars per person before boarding the ship. I will take you to Shanghai. In Shanghai, you can take the ship to San Francisco. The ticket is five hundred dollars per person. All must be paid before boarding the ship."
"clear."
Seinfeld nodded. Obviously he was mentally prepared.
Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.
Damn it!
This Sun Dingyuan is so rich.
That’s $1,000 per person! Fifty people, that’s $50,000!
fifty thousand!
Wow!
So many dollars!
Just send fifty people to the United States. What a loss.
real.
Under normal circumstances, a ferry ticket from Shanghai to San Francisco costs about US$150.
Not a good deal.
Too uneconomical.
It would be better to give me Zhang Yong.
I, Zhang Yong, promise. It’s worth every dollar…
etc.
Fifty people? Not more than a hundred?
Could it be said that Sun Dingyuan only has fifty confidants? Are everyone else cannon fodder?
At this time, there are at least a hundred people following Sun Dingyuan. They should all be bewitched by Sun Dingyuan. I think Sun Dingyuan will take them to the United States. But, in fact, only fifty people could go. Everyone else will be left behind.
Even, in the end, fifty people were able to board the ship smoothly. Still unknown. Zhang Yong always felt that this matter was not very reliable.
The American lion opened its mouth. Sun Dingyuan has now agreed. But will you regret it later?
The answer is yes. Who is Sun Dingyuan? He is a habitual gangster.
How can a habitual gangster have any credibility? In the future, he can abandon anyone for his own benefit.
If there is a chance, I will go to the United States by myself. Save more dollars. Sun Dingyuan will definitely choose to abandon others. Even kill them all. Of course there is no need to waste dollars on dead people.
"perhaps……"
"Something can be done here..."
Zhang Yong tilted his head and thought for a while.
It's a pity that I didn't think of anything in the end. I had to let it go temporarily.
"in addition……"
Wiggins suddenly said again.
He glanced at Zhang Yong. She seemed to think he was in some way.
However, Zhang Yong remained calm. Still sitting motionless.
He doesn't need to speak.
He's here to spy on Seinfeld. What are you talking about?
"Mr. Wiggins, tell me."
"An additional $5,000 bond is required."
"Why?"
"I guarantee that nothing unpleasant will happen to you during the journey."
"Can."
Seinfeld agreed.
Zhang Yong sneered secretly in his heart.
This Wiggins is also a money-grubber. Reach out for money.
What margin. Well said. In fact, it fell into his own pocket. If you give it out, you won't be able to get it back.
How to get it back?
By then, Sun Dingyuan had already landed in San Francisco. Wiggins is still in Hangzhou.
Could it be that the Americans in San Francisco would give Sun Dingyuan $5,000? dream.
When Sun Dingyuan and others landed, the Americans there did not extort them and asked for a landing fee.
wrong. Absolutely.
Landing fee must be paid.
All Chinese people who arrive on the other side of the ocean, as long as they have no official status, will inevitably have to pay another amount of money.
Otherwise, those who are not familiar with the place will be blind. I don’t even know how I died.
At this moment, the other side of the ocean is still in a rough period like the "American West", growing wildly. The folk customs are "simple", everyone is armed with a gun, and if there is a disagreement, American-style Iai will be used to solve the problem. Most Chinese people are bullied when they get there.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yong spoke, "Mr. Wiggins, where did we disembark in San Francisco? After we disembark, is our safety guaranteed?"
"Of course." Wiggins replied firmly, "We will send a telegram to San Francisco and have someone pick you up."
"After landing, don't you need to pay any more fees?"
"Of course not."
"Really?"
"How can you cooperate if you don't even believe us?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just asking. I'm worried that after arriving in San Francisco, we will need to spend a lot of money to get ashore smoothly."
"There is no such thing."
Wiggins flatly denied it. But he knew it was true.
All Chinese who arrived in San Francisco would be extorted for money by the locals. This is inevitable.
If you don’t have money, you will be beaten up. Then sent to do hard labor. Build railroads. Mining. If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed directly. Then throw it into the Pacific Ocean. Or throw it into a deep mine. No one knows at all.
"Five thousand dollars is too much..."
"You don't have to give it. However, I can't guarantee whether there will be any accidents on your way."
"All right……"
Zhang Yong pretended to be reluctant.
Five thousand dollars is not a small amount of money. You can buy a backward Hawker-2 aircraft.
To be honest, the only reason why the air planning department was interested in the Curtiss Hawker-2 aircraft and the newly launched Hawker-3 aircraft was probably because it was cheap. If you buy aircraft from other companies, you can only buy 50 aircraft with the same money. But if you buy one from Curtiss, you can buy a hundred.
Those hundred planes will definitely look better than fifty planes!
If Chiang Kai-shek asked, how many planes does the Air Force have? If you answer a hundred questions, you will definitely be more powerful than if you answer fifty questions.
Lao Jiang himself didn’t understand airplanes. It is also impossible to always ask about my wife's affairs.
What if my wife is unhappy?
"Deposit."
Wiggins said again.
Song Fei turned to look at Zhang Yong.
All the banknotes he brought were snatched away by Zhang Yong.
If a deposit is required, Zhang Yong can only come up with it.
However, how could the banknotes that fell into Zhang Yong's pocket be easily taken out?
Having just lost Ding Furong's three million, Zhang Yong was already extremely distressed. At this moment, he is not willing to give up even ten oceans. Let alone ten thousand?
"Mr. Wiggins, where is your promise?" Zhang Yong said calmly.
The other party doesn't have a gun. He is not afraid.
There are actually guns inside the pawn shop. But not in people.
Zhang Yong was confident that he was sure of victory against such a target without a gun.
No matter how fierce Wiggins was, he couldn't withstand the shooting of the Colt M1911 large-caliber pistol. If all seven rounds of 11.43mm bullets are fired. A bear can be beaten to death.
"What promise?" Wiggins' face began to look ugly.
"You have no basis for what you say. We can't believe you." Zhang Yong calmly said, "At least, you should tell us when to get on the ship and what ship to get on. It is impossible for us to know nothing. Otherwise, you took it. If the money runs away, we are trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain.”
"What do you want to know?"
"First, how do we leave Hangzhou."
"I will use the form of a caravan to hide you in the middle of the group."
"There are checks everywhere now..."
"I'm an American. You Chinese don't dare to check."
"What ship will we take when we get to the pier?"
"Our American freighter, the Goddess."
"However, as far as I know, there are no American merchant ships at the Qiantang River pier."
"Not yet. But it will arrive in three days."
"That means we still have to wait three days."
"Three days will go by quickly."
"The place where we are currently hiding is not safe. I hope we can move to your pawn shop."
"no."
Wiggins decisively refused.
He knew what kind of person Sun Dingyuan was. Never let a wolf enter your house.
Simply send them out of Hangzhou, no problem. However, if the other party is allowed to stay at Asia Hotel, there will be endless troubles.
No one knows what will happen when that group of robbers (bandits) get here.
He had dealt with Sun Dingyuan and knew Sun Dingyuan's bottom line very well. That guy has no bottom line in what he does.
"It's not safe where we are hiding now." Zhang Yong frowned.
"That's your business." Wiggins still refused, "We are only responsible for sending you away."
"We can add money."
"no."
Wiggins still refused.
The tone is quite tough.
Zhang Yong then judged that this guy definitely knew Sun Dingyuan and probably knew the other person very well.
Otherwise, Wiggins would not be so decisive.
"We have five more British people over there. You can trust them..."
"Shut up! You're talking about Greco and the others. They are all warmongers. They are hooligans. I don't want to deal with them."
"Mr. Wiggins, you are speaking harshly..."
"I'm sorry. I will never meet Greco and the others. They are all pirates..."
"All right."
Zhang Yong pretended to be helpless.
At the same time, I wrote down the name Greg. These five British people seem to be a little evil?
Wiggins actually mentioned that they were pirates. This is interesting.
Pirates. No wonder it can disappear mysteriously.
For pirates, there is really no risk in Hangzhou Bay. You can escape by just diving into the water.
It seemed that the five British people that Kong Fansong was worried about had an evil background. They just took a smooth sailing to Hangzhou. Then he quietly escaped with water. Go find Sun Dingyuan. Kong Fansong thought something strange had happened.
hehe. Do you want to call and tell Kong Fansong the truth?
of course not.
Tell the truth and there will be no dollars left.
Just tell Kong Fansong that the five British people have been found. Safe and sound. Will suffice.
Then, the reward for that reward. Those who owe favors owe favors.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yong said slowly: "But, Mr. Greco said..."
"Don't mention the pirate Greco in front of me." Wiggins' face began to look ugly. "What he said has no credibility."
"But. He said..."
"Even if he pays $10,000, I won't take him on board. Tell him to die!"
"Mr. Wiggins..."
"You tell him not to think that he is from the Far East Fleet, and I will give him face. I don't want to see him. He also doesn't want to appear in front of me. Otherwise, I will kill him with one shot. Even MI7 There’s no point in showing up.”
"All right……"
Zhang Yong reluctantly agreed.
Then I was secretly surprised.
So much information.
These five British people are actually from the British Far East Fleet? Is it still related to MI7?
In other words, before the outbreak of World War II, the strength of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets still remained. Not completely dead yet. The strength of the Far East Fleet is also considered strong. There is one super battleship and three ordinary battleships. There are also seven cruisers. Thirty plus destroyers and stuff like that. Stationed in Singapore. It's really powerful.
That super battleship seems to be called "Prince of Wales"? The standard displacement is 35,000 tons, and the full load displacement is 40,000 tons. Equipped with 10 14-inch main guns. 14 inches is 356 mm. Compared with the Yamato battleship, it is indeed lagging behind.
etc……
Zhang Yong fell into thinking.
Soon after, he remembered. It seems that the two are closely related.
The Prince of Wales seemed to have been built in 1937, launched in 1939, completed and put into service in 1941, and then sunk by Japanese aircraft at the end of the year.
seems like it……
Can't remember the details. That's pretty much it.
Its rapid sinking showed that the battleship was almost helpless in front of the aircraft.
What is confusing is that it was a Japanese aircraft that sank the Prince of Wales. But the top Japanese invaders did not realize that the battleship era had passed. Instead, they continued to strengthen the battleships. Ignore aircraft carriers. It can also be regarded as a mysterious operation. In the end, the battleship Yamato was also killed by an aircraft.
To say that it was short-lived, the Prince of Wales was indeed short-lived.
I wonder if I can use it to make some articles?
Take back your thoughts.
"Mr. Wiggins, we need to go back and discuss it." Zhang Yong said slowly.
"Then hurry up. No time to wait." Wiggins was very unhappy.
He waved his hand and told them to get out. Then leave on your own.
Zhang Yong and the spy stood up, turned around and left.
The two walked out of the pawn shop.
The Japanese spy waited for Zhang Yong's instructions very respectfully.
"Team Leader Zhang..."
"When you go back, say that the arrangements have been made. We will set off in three days. However, we need to leave in batches. Moreover, we cannot carry weapons."
"But Sun Dingyuan may not believe it. He will continue to send people to verify it."
"I will guard outside. If one comes out, I will catch one. Make sure you all say the same thing."
"All right."
Although the spy feels a bit dangerous. But that's all.
Since he was determined to betray Sun Dingyuan, he certainly hoped that Zhang Yong would catch Sun Dingyuan. Then execute this guy.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Go!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
The spy then turned and left.
Zhang Yong silently monitored the map. It was discovered that the spy did not choose to escape.
This guy really wants Sun Dingyuan's life.
Sun Dingyuan probably never expected that among the people around him, there were Japanese undercover agents. Still three.
He wanted to get rid of the Japanese. How could the Japanese be willing to do so?
Continue to monitor.
Suddenly, a marked character entered the edge of the map.
Astonishingly, it was Yang Lichu who came.
Hurry and take the initiative to greet him.
Sure enough, Yang Lichu showed up alone.
Zhang Yong:......
OK, well come!
Excitedly, she hugged Yang Lichu and gave her a wet French kiss.
"Don't……"
Yang Lichu wanted to resist.
However, Zhang Yong was too impatient to resist.
In the end, he succeeded.
However, Zhang Yong wanted to explore further, but she stopped him.
After all, she is a woman from a wealthy family and will not let Zhang Yong mess around. He pushed the eager guy away angrily.
"You came so quickly."
"Chen Shanben was speeding again. He was in the solitary room again."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong suddenly felt very interesting.
This Chen Shanben speeds every time he flies. He was imprisoned every three days.
It’s also strange. Closed, but does not affect flight. There seems to be no such thing as a no-fly. After coming out of the confinement room, he could go to heaven again.
"Actually, it was not Chen Shanben who was speeding, but the plane was too slow."
"Yes. These aircraft are now obsolete. However, the Germans are unwilling to talk to us about the BF109, and we cannot buy better aircraft."
"Better planes..."
Zhang Yong fell into thinking.
Indeed, now is the most difficult time for the aviation industry.
Even, a little lifeless.
Due to the impact of the economic crisis, all major airlines are dying.
Even well-known companies such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are dying now. Lockheed, the fighter giant of later generations, was still a small company.
The P-38, P-40, P-47, P51 and the like have not yet come out.
Even the Zero carrier-based aircraft has not yet appeared.
If you want to buy a fighter jet, there is really no good choice.
However, it will happen that in July next year, the Japanese invaders will invade China and the all-out war of resistance will break out. A sufficient number of fighters must be available.
It was impossible to defeat the Japanese in the early stages. But, at least, the Japanese aviation forces must pay a greater price. So that the rear area can be better protected. Even, try to avoid tragedies like the Chongqing bombing as much as possible.
Hey, what to do now?
Unexpected.
I had to change the topic temporarily.
"How is the statistics at the dock? Does Xuan Tiewu make false accounts?"
"He didn't dare."
"So how many are counted now?"
"Three million and seven hundred thousand."
"Is it all in the ocean?"
"right."
"ah……"
Zhang Yong's heart was bleeding.
More than three million have appeared in the ocean! Damn it. How rich is Ding Furong.
They are almost catching up with Tianjin Wei's Yuan Wenhui and others.
Big loss...
It’s really a big loss...
I intercepted a golden mountain. In the end, I only got a gold leaf.
Woo woo woo...
Want to cry. real.
I want to explode on the spot.
Fortunately, Yang Lichu pulled him back with one word.
