The challenge facing Meng Shaoyuan is to safely evacuate five Japanese experts, 39 returning students, and 10 million silver dollars from Shanghai!
Every extra day spent in Shanghai increases the risk.
Currently, four of the five Japanese experts are being held in secret locations, while the banknote printing expert Tomita Korekiyo has been temporarily handed over to Hawes.
Holiday Circle definitely leaves room for improvement.
What could be better than having an expert who specializes in printing real banknotes standing by to guide you?
This kind of opportunity is something I would never dare to think about.
You can print counterfeit banknotes and disrupt the Japanese financial order. Shanghai has done a pretty good job.
The most important thing is how to send people out.
Those in the Italian military camp can still help you pick up goods from their own country.
But want to help you give it away?
That is absolutely impossible.
After all, Italy and Japan are allies.
Meng Shaoyuan was very troubled.
Of course, there are still things that make him happy.
For example, those weapons and equipment shipped from Italy!
Beretta semi-automatic pistol, Mannlicher Carcano TSM1891 carbine, the famous Breda light and heavy machine gun, and the classic Beretta submachine gun.
And Meng Shaoyuan's armament has long been equipped with few Mod 35 light rapid-fire mortars, but the number is extremely rare!
This time, General Roligani got five doors for Meng Shaoyuan in one go.
These are definitely rare treasures.
Although the Breda light and heavy machine gun looks ugly, its performance is quite good. It is also the most environmentally friendly machine gun in the world because it can recycle machine gun shells.
This is most practical for China, which is seriously short of supplies.
A large amount of medicines also traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai with the ship.
The soldiers of the national army were too short of medicines. Meng Shao would never earn this kind of money. When the time comes, sending people to carry these medicines to Xue Yue in Changsha would be considered as repaying the favor of the other party for lending troops to him.
Weapons and ammunition?
Meng Shaoyuan had stockpiled a large amount of weapons and ammunition before the war started. He didn't need so much, so he just left it to Xu Chengbo to deal with.
These smuggled weapons can definitely make a lot of money once they come in and out.
But making money is not the most important thing right now.
The phone on the desk rang.
Meng Shaoyuan answered the phone.
"Boss Meng, my name is Xu Chengbo. A Japanese man came to the company and said he wanted to do business with us."
"Japanese? Want to do business with us?" Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment: "Are they from the Japanese special agency? Are there any traps?"
"I just couldn't figure it out, so I stabilized him temporarily."
"It's delicious and delicious. I'll be here soon."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
Japanese?
Find Henglong Company?
Doing business?
Maybe it's a trap?
Very few people in Shanghai know that Meng Shaoyuan is the real boss behind Henglong Company.
Otherwise, Henglong Company would have been in trouble long ago.
But I'm afraid of anything unexpected...
…
So far, there is still no news about the five missing financial experts.
The domestic pressure is increasing day by day.
Even, Yingzuo Zhenzhao got a rumor that I don’t know whether it is reliable:
The government may launch secret negotiations with the Nationalist Government to release the five experts by paying a ransom or exchanging prisoners.
If this really happens, the majesty of the Japanese Empire will be gone.
All the elites were sent out to try their best to find the whereabouts of these experts.
Including Intelligence Headquarters and No. 76.
Shadow Zuozhenzhao almost came out in full force.
"Your Mightiness."
Ooi Shinna hurried in with a newspaper in his hand: "Mr. Thor finally contacted us."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao took the newspaper and glanced at the advertisement at the bottom: "Has it been translated?"
"Translated, we will meet at Taihe Tea House at 1pm tomorrow. Second set of contact information."
"It's been 11 years, Oi-kun, it's been 11 years."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao felt a little emotional: "When I arranged for Mr. Thor to lurk in Shanghai to spy on China's economic intelligence, he... was only 19... ah, no, 20 years old... He has always been lurking deep. He has been deep for a long time. Deeply integrated into this city..."
"But he has never contacted us."
"A spy who has been lurking for more than ten years will be more cautious than anyone else." Yingzuo Zhenzhao looked serious: "A slight negligence will make all the efforts in vain. He must ensure his own safety. Only then will he contact us...and considering his identity, Oi-kun, who could have imagined that such a thing would happen?"
What he said seemed a little incoherent, but Oi Xinmin knew exactly what he meant: "Your Excellency Yingzuo, please give me the task of meeting Mr. Thor."
"Yes, you were my only candidate." Yingzuo Zhenzhao nodded: "At the beginning, I arranged for Mr. Thor to lurk and told you the plan, but you don't know who Mr. Thor is either. You know, it’s not that I don’t trust you.”
"Sir, I understand that a long-term latent spy like this can only have a single line of contact. The fewer people who know who he is, the safer he will be."
"It's good that you understand what I mean."
Kage Sasaki stood up, opened the safe, searched inside for a while, took out a page of yellowed paper, and handed it to Oi Arina: "This is the second set of contact information. It will be destroyed after reading it."
Oi Shinna looked at it carefully, memorized everything, took the match, and lit the piece of paper: "Your Excellency, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
"Okay, let's get ready."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao sat there calmly. After a while, he picked up the phone and said, "Please help me pick up Hiroshi Gongdao... Mr. Gongdao, come to my place immediately..."
He put down the phone, opened the drawer, and took out another newspaper.
"Today we have a complete set of American equipment for sale at favorable prices, all at a 15% discount. The discount is limited to three days...contact number..."
A smile appeared on Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face:
"Mr. Thor, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
…
"Boss Meng."
Xu Chengbo had been waiting outside the company for a long time. When he saw Meng Shaoyuan getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him.
"Where are the people?"
"I've been waiting inside for more than two hours."
"More than two hours?"
"Yes. Later I saw that he was bored, so I tried to ask him if he could play mahjong. He said yes. I was looking for someone to play with him."
Holy shit!
It doesn't look like he's a Japanese spy.
No, maybe he hides it very deeply and is particularly good at disguising himself?
"Find a place and let me observe."
"Okay, let's go through the back door. We can see clearly from my office."
Meng Shaoyuan followed Xu Chengbo into his office.
He lifted the curtains in his office, opened them a crack, and quietly took a look outside.
After just one glance, Meng Shaoyuan immediately did one thing:
He opened the door, rushed out, and yelled:
"How dare you show up here and pay me back? Pay me back as soon as possible!"
