Under the illumination of the truck's headlights, a dozen corpses covered with white cloths were lying in a row on the stone platform of the dock. On the left side of the stone platform, there were squatting or standing around a dozen military command personnel with guns. Surrounded by them were more than twenty prisoners captured alive from two river boats. Among these prisoners, there were guards responsible for escorting this batch of arms, as well as Central Unification agents in plainclothes. Among them was the suspicious target who had been monitored by Lao Fu for several days.
On the right side of the stone platform, there are more than 400 wooden boxes stacked. The wooden boxes contain the arms that were secretly secreted by the Central Government. The military commanders had already tapped the wooden boxes on the spot, and even opened the boxes one by one and carefully inspected the contents. He hurried to the bureau seat at the dock by car, and now he was standing next to the car with a serious expression, listening to Zhang Jianghe, who was holding a list in his hand, reporting the situation and the amount of arms in a low voice.
When Zhang Jianghe called to announce the good news, the bureau chief did not know that among the people killed by Tang Cheng and others, there were plainclothes agents of the Central Government. When Zhang Jianghe reported the quantity of arms and learned that there were light and heavy machine guns and mortars in this batch of arms, the director was completely angry. The military commander is able to allow the arms dealers in Chongqing to survive because the arms dealers in Chongqing now only sell pistols and half-used rifles, and they absolutely dare not buy heavy firearms.
However, among this batch of arms, there were actually heavy firepower weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and mortars, which clearly exceeded the bottom line stipulated by military regulations. Moreover, the number of immigrants in Chongqing is increasing day by day. If these heavy weapons flow into the urban area, it is likely to cause immeasurable serious consequences. "It's just a matter of killing a few enemies who were stubbornly resisting. It's no big deal!" The bureau leader was angry. At this moment, he didn't care at all who were killed by Tang Cheng and the others.
In a short time, the senior officials of the Central Unification Committee who received the news rushed to the pier. Unfortunately, like the Central Unification agents who appeared here before, they were blocked directly outside the pier by the members of the Military Unification Operation who blocked the pier. About half an hour later, they were finally allowed to enter the dock. They were still standing next to the car, but they changed their usual behavior. He didn't even look at them twice.
The bureau chief did not want to talk to the Zhongtong people, and the military commanders on the dock naturally followed suit and ignored the Zhongtong people. Tang Cheng, who was still wearing a police uniform, had already led the search team to the back of the pile of arms. It was not only sheltered from the wind but also safe from being seen by the angry Zhongtong people. "Captain, how much do you think we can get this time?" Because of the arms piled up in front of him, Zhao Dashan, a heavy smoker, did not dare to smoke, so he had to divert his attention with other things.
Tang Cheng was sitting on a box of bullets, thinking secretly in his mind about how to pack the remaining items. Faced with Zhao Dashan's inquiry, Tang Cheng grinned and said, "Your benefits are indispensable! Before the operation, I told the bureau chief that we would account for 20% of this batch of arms, and if the military commander needs to take action, we can take it. channel." After Tang Cheng finished speaking, Zhao Dashan and the others couldn't help but secretly exclaimed. Although they don't know much about literacy, they can still figure out how many 20% of the many arms boxes there are.
What's more, Tang Cheng just said that if the military command takes action, the goods will be shipped through the search team. According to the rules of arms trading, as long as the search team's shipping channel is used, the search team can charge a certain amount of commission. Among the Zhao Dashan people, there was one who had an impatient temper. He had his head lowered and was secretly calculating in his heart how much the search team could gain this time. Tang Cheng and others were hiding here, chatting and laughing, but Zhang Jianghe, who had been staying with the bureau leader, was feeling a little uncomfortable at this time.
After all, someone died on Zhongtong's side, and the members of the military command guarding the corpses did not allow Zhongtong's people to get close to those corpses before receiving orders from the bureau. The people in Zhongtong were extremely helpless and had no choice but to go find their seats. Zhang Jianghe felt uncomfortable at this moment because of the people in Zhongtong who were making noisy comments. "Those who died were all shot to death after three warnings failed. Otherwise, the ones who died would have been my people."
According to Zhang Jianghe's report, the bureau chief's answer was very brief, but the people in the Central Government did not want to accept this result, not to mention that the arms were piled here at the moment. Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the ammunition pile, waited for almost an hour before finally receiving the order to retreat. In the next two days, Tangcheng kept hearing that the military commander was in a lawsuit with the central commander. It was said that the matter got worse and worse, and eventually it reached the Nan'an Villa.
In order to cover up his purpose, Tang Cheng has not been idle in the past two days. He has been busy in the city with his people. While waiting for Zhang Jianghe to greet Tang Cheng to go to the military command headquarters, Tang Cheng has already led his people to capture another man in the city. A famous Japanese spy. "Uncle, why did the director ask us to go? I'm still busy sorting out the confession materials!" Tang Cheng, who was being avoided by Zhang Jiang and driving, looked angrily in the rear mirror, sitting on Zhang Jianghe in the back seat of the car.
Listening to Tang Cheng's complaints, Zhang Jianghe looked leisurely. Tang Cheng's activities in the city in the past two days were enough to dispel Zhang Jianghe's suspicion of him. However, Zhang Jianghe's leisurely look at this moment was because of the dog-eat-dog fight between the military commander and the central commander. matter. "I went to the bureau office after a while. Watch more, listen more and talk less! Don't think that just because you caught a few more spies, you are better than others. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the military command headquarters, and there are certainly people better than you. Especially when In front of you, don’t say those irrelevant words in the future!"
Zhang Jianghe's warning came a bit suddenly, and Tang Cheng, who was driving in front, couldn't help but secretly become vigilant. Before Zhang Jianghe's intentions were clear, Tang Cheng had to be alert to Zhang Jianghe. The car quickly drove into the courtyard of the military command headquarters. Through the car window, Zhang Jianghe suddenly saw so many cars parked in the courtyard of the military command headquarters, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. After getting off the car, Zhang Jianghe asked an acquaintance casually and found out that someone from Zhongtong had been sent here.
"Someone from the Central Command has also come over. I don't know yet if it has something to do with the fact that the bureau chief asked us to come over! If someone asks about what happened at the dock tomorrow, just say that everything was carried out according to the operational arrangements. The dead person from the Central Command Just say you didn't know about it at the time!" As he walked up the stairs, Zhang Jianghe whispered to Tang Cheng, but he didn't know yet that Tang Cheng had already thought of a better way to deal with it.
Tang Cheng followed Zhang Jianghe and quickly went up the stairs to the second floor. Sure enough, before Zhang Jianghe and the two of them could continue upstairs to the bureau office, they were taken directly to him by the secretary of the bureau who had been waiting at the stairs on the second floor. Went to the conference room on the 2nd floor. Before Zhang Jianghe entered the conference room, he suddenly slowed down. When he entered the door, he did not forget to wink at Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng remained calm and followed Zhang Jianghe into the conference room at the signal of the bureau secretary.
After Tang Cheng entered the conference room, he discovered that most of the military commanders sitting in the conference room were those who participated in the dock operation that day. The people sitting on the right side of the bureau seat should all be from Zhongtong, because several of their faces had been seen by Tang Cheng on the dock that day. Like Tang Cheng, Zhang Jianghe also felt relieved when he discovered that most of the military commanders in the conference room were those who participated in the dock operation that day.
"Okay! Now that everyone is here, if you have anything to say, just say it out and put it directly on the table!" The bureau chief, who had been sitting at the head of the table, saw that Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe had arrived, He put the tea cup in his hand, looked at the Zhongtong people sitting on his right, and spoke with an impatient expression. The person coming from the Zhongtong was also unambiguous and mentioned Tang Cheng by name, because the two Zhongtong members who died during the pier operation that day were later proven to have been shot and killed by Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng stood up helplessly after his name was called. After receiving a signal from the bureau, he spoke. "Yes, I shot and killed the man! But I can't stand still and be shot to death by him, right? Those two guys had already shot and wounded many military commanders, and they also After we repeatedly warned them, they pointed guns at us. Tell me, what should I do at that time? Should I jump directly into the river or should I stand there and be shot to death by them?"
Tang Cheng's answer sounded like a defense, but some of the military commanders in the conference room who had participated in Operation Dock immediately spoke in agreement with Tang Cheng. "Yes, I was also on the scene at the time. Two of my men were shot and wounded by those two guys. We had loudly identified ourselves at the time, but they still shot and wounded people. At that time, Under these circumstances, we have reason to believe that they are in league with the arms dealers on the ship."
The words of the military commanders were very beneficial to Tangcheng, and the bureau chief also had the confessions of the prisoners, including those of the captured Zhongtong operatives. The attempt to seize Tang City was thwarted. People from the Central Command then accused the Military Command of randomly detaining their operatives. This time, the bureau chief gave a direct answer. "People, we have indeed arrested a lot of people, but all we have arrested are arms dealers! According to the confessions we have obtained so far, this is a group of arms dealers passing through Yunnan. How could there be someone from your Central Government among them? people!"
Tang Cheng was dumbfounded by the bureau chief's ability to hold a pig's head in his hand and deny it, but the people from the Central Government were helpless. The highest-ranking person among them is also a division chief. The disparity in positions and levels prevents them from saying too much to the bureau chief. Faced with the pressure from the bureau and the unreasonable and arrogant behavior of the military commanders, Zhongtong, who had come to demand people in a menacing manner, could only leave the military headquarters in despair.
