The director of the special higher education course has changed.
The original section chief was replaced by angry Japanese senior officials.
However, the newly appointed section chief was extremely mysterious. It was not until four days after taking office that Zhang Anping learned specific information from Wen Wei.
Yoko Minami!
Yes, it was the Japanese female lieutenant Colonel Nanada Yoko who died under Mingtai's gun.
The first thing Minami Yoko did after taking office was to temporarily "stop" the activities of the special agents affiliated with the Special High School, making them all enter a state of silence. Then, through the Black Dragon Society, he asked Japanese companies and commercial banks in Hongkou to strengthen security.
After receiving the first spark of news that Yoko Minamada took office, Zhang Anping became solemn.
This Japanese girl is a match!
In fact, the reason why the previous director of the special higher education course was tortured into a dog by Zhang Anping was mainly because he made a mistake.
This is China, this is Shanghai!
Although they have the basic base of Hongkou, this is Shanghai that has not fallen!
But the departed section chief of the Special Higher Education Course used the tactics used in Northeast China to deal with the special team.
This was the biggest mistake he made.
The special team was in the dark, and it was still on its own territory, unlike Shanghai Station, which was in the open, but the special high school wanted to use hard force to retaliate - both times they suffered big losses.
While Zhang Anping praised such a pig opponent, he also specially sent a contract, hoping to make the opponent get carried away and continue to fight head-on.
joke! If you go head-to-head with me on my territory, you will have to experience constant frustration.
But Zhang Anping didn't expect that before his method of irritation took effect, Japan changed the situation and replaced him with Yoko Minamada.
After Minami Yoko took office, he was keenly aware of the crux of the problem, so he decisively chose to cease operations.
But is she really dying?
Zhang Anping knew that it was definitely not the case. The other party had ceased its activities publicly, but in the dark, he must have started other plans.
"This opponent is a bit tricky!"
Zhang Anping sighed, really missing his previous opponents.
But now that the other party has made a move, I have to respond - without further ado, I will take care of an undercover agent first!
…
May 8, 26th year of the Republic of China (1937).
A passenger ship "President Hoover" from the United States docked at the pier.
Passengers got off the passenger ship pulling the world-famous trolley suitcase, looking at this pearl of the Far East with excitement or confusion.
A young man in a suit walked out of the crowd with a stern look on his face - he didn't have a cousin to pick him up at the pier.
As he was about to leave the dock, someone suddenly bumped into him accidentally.
The person who hit the person was a strong man, but after hitting him, the strong man apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Hearing this, the young man in a suit said coldly: "Chinese from this department!"
The strong man was stunned for a moment, then bent his waist further: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Facing the strong man's continued apology, the young man in a suit hit the strong man in the face with his fist without saying a word.
After a violent beating, the strong man became really angry after being beaten, and punched out with anger. The young man in a suit who was showing off his aggression was knocked to the ground by a punch, and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
He knocked the man to the ground with one punch, but the strong man panicked and shouted hurriedly:
"He was the one who struck me first. He was the one who hit me first. I, I couldn't bear it anymore and then I fought back. He was the one who hit me first!"
Naturally, most of the people around him were Americans. Seeing the strong man who punched his opponent but frightened him, the Americans laughed mockingly.
This laughter made the strong man even more panicked.
At this moment, the young man in a suit turned over his clothes and shouted in Japanese:
"All Chinese people should go to Si!"
After shouting, he rushed towards the panicked strong man like crazy, and attacked with all his fists and legs, but the strong man couldn't help but fight back.
After fighting back this time, the young man in the suit was not so lucky and was knocked unconscious by a punch.
The strong man was stunned. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and ran away.
In the distance, Zhang Anping was watching the show with a telescope.
The young man in a suit is naturally Okamoto Heiji Jiang Sian.
But this is not a script, but Jiang Sian's free play.
Zhang Anping didn't know why Jiang Sian made such a fuss, but he believed that Jiang Sian had a reason for doing so, so he watched quietly to see what Jiang Sian's intention was.
Facing Okamoto Heiji who was knocked unconscious, the Americans who were watching had no intention of helping him. Instead, they dispersed one by one whistling.
Just as the crowd dispersed, a middle-aged man appeared next to Jiang Sian who fell to the ground. After some operations, he revived the unconscious Jiang Sian.
Zhang Anping used his telescope to stare closely at the middle-aged man who saved Jiang Sian.
Fujita Yoshimasa!
It’s actually Fujita Yoshimasa! !
After confirming who the other party was, Zhang Anping took back the telescope and showed a deep smile.
Jiang Sian, Jiang Sian, you are really an undercover expert!
[Fujita Yoshimasa, the head of the Japanese secret service after the fall of Shanghai, and Minamada Yoko’s immediate boss! (I guess his prototype should be Kage Sasaki.)]
…
Jiang Sian's "return to his position" went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.
The key is that he hooked up with the future head of Shanghai's secret service, Fujita Yoshimasa - Jiang Sian, who had become a "little fox" under Zhang Anping's training, could recognize such a person, and Zhang Anping also provided him with help. He has prepared Xu Zhongyi, and his future prospects are definitely limitless.
Jiang Sian returned to his position smoothly, and most of the undercover arrangements were almost completed. At this time, Zhang Anping naturally focused on the cultivation of "internal strength".
First, Zheng Yao was invited to have a big meal first.
It is said that Lao Zheng has really helped the special team a lot during this period - the Shanghai Station has been operating frequently recently, resulting in the arrest of many people. Lao Zheng, who was criticized by the press, is almost doubting his life.
Although he was working to pay off debts, Lao Zheng always wanted to thank him for his kindness, so he had an excuse to treat Lao Zheng to dinner.
Well, from the beginning.
"There's no such thing as a good banquet, Brother Zhang. Let's talk things over before we eat!" Zheng Yaoxian looked at Zhang Anping with a smile: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have diarrhea."
"Brother Zheng, can I cheat you?"
Zheng Yaoxian smiled and said nothing.
"Brother Zheng, it makes me sad if you do this."
"Tell me something!"
Zheng Yaoxian was too lazy to break up with Zhang Anping.
When this guy is in a relationship with you, it's best to talk to him directly about his interests. When this guy talks about his interests to you, it's best to talk about friendship directly. But when he's talking about friendship, the best way is to turn away and deny him. people.
"It's a good thing this time too."
Zheng Yaoxian looked at Zhang Anping and thought:
Good job sir!
Last time he said it was a good thing, but the next second he took out the IOU signed by Lao Wu and asked him to pay back the money.
At that time, Zheng Yaoxian planned not to admit the debt - this is a "good habit" of the Chinese people. Whoever owes money will be punished.
But Zhang Anping was the first to say: We are brothers, it's okay if you don't pay back the money, as long as you do a favor for me.
Zheng Yaoxian fell into the trap just like that.
During this period, the Shanghai Station was catching "Japanese spies" every day, and many members of the special team were caught.
The special team achieved its purpose of training troops, but the Shanghai Station had a bad reputation and was sprayed in newspapers every day.
Fortunately, Zheng Yaoxian reacted quickly and selected dozens of students from the Qingpu class to participate in this big exercise of "catching Japanese spies", so his hard work was not in vain.
This time, this guy was pretending to be a "good thing" again - Zheng Yaoxian intuitively told him that it was definitely bad luck again.
"What a good thing."
Zhang Anping knew that his character in Zheng Yaoxian's heart had declined, so he said directly:
"I got a batch of firearms, a batch of rifles with scopes, a total of one thousand."
"How about our two families jointly set up a sharpshooter training class to train a group of sharpshooters who can use this kind of rifle?"
"Sight?"
Zheng Yaoxian was confused.
At this time, there was actually no specific concept of a sniper rifle - at the end of World War I, soldiers with excellent shooting skills were organized into sharpshooters, but there was no such thing as being equipped with glasses.
There is no mention of a sniper rifle.
There are many firearms enthusiasts in the United States who have installed telescopes on their rifles, giving them the appearance of sniper rifles.
However, they were not widely deployed in the army. The US military, which was famous for its snipers, only had a few equipped with them at this time, not as many as Zhang Anping had.
So Zheng Yaoxian didn't know the concept of a sight.
Zhang Anping mysteriously took out the removed magnifier from under the table and handed it to Zheng Yaoxian.
"This is it, a 2.5x scope. When installed on a rifle, it can provide shooters with clearer and longer accurate shooting distances."
Zheng Yaoxian played with the background.
He used it as a telescope, but it was far less powerful than a telescope, but he was a person who knew guns after all, and he understood the bonus of this thing for a sharpshooter after playing around with it.
Zheng Yaoxian was moved in his heart, and then said calmly: "This is more suitable for military uniforms!"
Zhang Anping said: "Long-distance sniping is still useful to us!"
Sniper from a distance?
A picture appeared in Zheng Yaoxian's mind:
A sharpshooter was lying in ambush three to four hundred meters away. After finding the assassination target, he killed him with one blow - the distance of three to four hundred meters was enough for the sharpshooter to disappear without a trace after shooting!
Zheng Yaoxian said loudly: "Give me half! Let's do it together!"
Zhang Anping "exclaimed":
"Three hundred dollars a piece! My dear brother, these guns are carefully selected and extremely accurate. With the magnification, the Yankees sold them to me for three hundred dollars!"
"Half, that's $150,000! You might as well just kill me!"
Zheng Yaoxian sneered: "150,000 US dollars? Where did you get so much money! Do you think I believe it?"
He felt that $300 would definitely be Zhang Anping's lion's opening.
With Zhang Anping's urine, he must earn at least 50 US dollars, which is estimated to be between 240-250 US dollars for this gun.
"I have no money! So I'm going to hold a sniper training class. When the results come out, I'll invite the military bosses to come and take a look. Then I'll sell it to them. Don't reveal my bottom price! I'll give it a try when the time comes. Sold for $400!”
Zheng Yaoxian was moved.
He felt that Zhang Anping's words were quite credible - he was not a professional soldier, but he could still see the prospect of a gun with a double scope. Those who led the troops must know better.
Is $400 expensive?
expensive!
It’s worth it!
"For 280 US dollars, I will share 500 of them. When the time comes, we will sell them out together for 400 US dollars - don't refuse! If you want to train sharpshooters, it won't work without anyone! Students from the Guanwangmiao class and the Qingpu class are still good at short guns. OK, shooting them with a bolt-action rifle is a long way off!”
Zheng Yaoxian said: "I can contact the garrison and ask them to provide sharpshooters. By the way, I also want to let them know about this kind of firearm. Maybe I can sell dozens of them!"
Zheng Yaoxian praised his wit.
500 pieces can be resold for US$60,000, which is a good deal!
"Five hundred is too much!" Zhang Anping said with a bitter face: "Old Zheng, brothers make money to develop the special team! You want half of it and let me lose the money, it's a bit too much!"
"Five hundred strips, three hundred dollars! If it doesn't work, I'll take it down!"
Zhang Anping gritted his teeth and hated himself for a while, and finally said helplessly:
"Old Zheng, you took a huge advantage this time!"
"That's you. If others want to get goods from me, there's no way!"
Zheng Yaoxian smiled reservedly. After coming to Shanghai for so long, he could finally make Zhang Anping suffer a little loss.
good!
"Come on, let's discuss how to sell this batch of weapons - we agreed, leave me 20 weapons for Shanghai Station's own use, and you can't charge money for these 20 weapons!"
"You have to give me money!"
"no way!"
"The cost price is 290 US dollars, can you give me 290 US dollars per bottle, my dear brother!"
"I won't pay for these 20 bottles!"
Seeing Zheng Yaoxian's resolute attitude, Zhang Anping had no choice but to give up, but his angry look made Zheng Yaoxian understand that this boy was heartbroken.
Zheng Yaoxian, who felt that he had made a lot of money, began to rack his brains to discuss with Zhang Anping how to sell these weapons - making money was one thing, but under the current circumstances, it was mainly to enhance the strength of the army.
Well, it can make money and increase the combat power of your own army, so even better!
Zhang Anping is very satisfied with Brother Six's "dedicated" service attitude. He is a sincere person and never does anything like asking a horse to run but not letting the horse eat grass...
As for the cost of these sniper rifles (experimental products), which cost $58, he would not tell anyone even if he killed them.
Definitely can't say...
…
After Zheng Yaoxian and Zhang Anping separated, they went to the Security Corps without stopping. (Due to the Songhu Anti-Japanese War on 128, Shanghai did not allow the Nationalist Government to station troops. The Nationalist Government turned the troops into security groups and stationed them in Shanghai.)
(There should be two regiments, with a total number of nearly 6,000.)
There is a relationship between Shanghai Station and the General Security Group.
After the Battle of Songhu on 128, the Wusongkou Fort, the throat of the Yangtze River's mouth, was destroyed. In order to prevent the Japanese army from directly attacking the capital Nanjing from the Yangtze River, the Nationalist Government renovated the fortress and also built war-ready fortifications in the main streets of the city.
But this kind of thing had to be done behind the backs of the Japanese, and it also had to be hidden from view and leaking, so the security group rented private houses and secretly built reinforced concrete fortifications indoors.
The Shanghai Station is still responsible for the confidentiality of these secret war preparation fortifications.
After Zheng Yaoxian took office as the station chief, he paid special visits to the heads of the two security groups. They also had banquets on weekdays, and the relationship was pretty good.
Facing Zheng Yaoxian who barged in directly, the chief and the two captains naturally had to entertain the guests.
"Three sirs, I need your help with something."
Zheng Yao started straight to the point.
"Catch Japanese spies?"
"No, I need fifty soldiers with good marksmanship. They don't need to be very good, just above average. The only requirement is that they have at least graduated from elementary school. Can the three officers find them all and lend me a month's worth?"
This is the plan that Zheng Yaoxian and Zhang Anping discussed and "asked you to enter the urn" step by step.
"Good marksmanship? Do you want to graduate from elementary school? Stationmaster Zheng, your requirements are a bit high!"
"Three officers, please understand that the situation is unavoidable, but if there is something really important, please help me, three officers!"
Faced with Zheng Yaoxian's sincere request, the three officers agreed after a brief discussion.
During the process of extracting people, the three of them made insinuations, but Zheng Yaoxian always emphasized that this was confidential and could not be disclosed.
But after some insinuations, he revealed a little secret:
"Three officers, the reason why I asked you for help is because it has something to do with the secret weapon. We should be able to find out in a month."
"It will definitely surprise the three of you!"
While Zheng Yaoxian was deceiving the three chief officers of the Security Corps, Zhang Anping called his cousin and started deceiving him...
(In order to have a second chapter, more than a thousand words were specially divided into the second chapter.)
