Ten tons!
Even Xu San, who had always been as steady as an old dog, was stirred up in his heart at this moment!
Now in 1940, what is the actual purchasing power of 10 tons of gold?
If you buy a small yellow croaker and buy one made in Hanyang, how much can you buy?
If I could buy food, how much could I buy?
Xu San knew about the Great Famine in 1942. If we had these ten tons of gold, the number of more than 3 million people who died of starvation should be reduced a lot.
After calming down, Xu San asked, "Such a huge amount! Aren't Colonel Yamamoto afraid that I might get greedy?"
Yamamoto crossed his arms, stared at Xu San, and said seriously, "Don't be afraid! You are very smart! And you don't have the ability to transport all the gold away."
"Hey, Mr. Yamamoto really knows me. Compared to these ten tons of gold, I still prefer the life of my wife and children. After two or three years, when I have enough money, I will take them to immigrate to Japan. However, I still have questions that I would like you to answer.”
"Please say!"
"why me?"
"To use a Chinese saying, the secret must not be leaked!"
"Uh okay!"
Yamamoto really doesn't want to answer this question.
Because it’s a bit mysterious, it’s the mystery of metaphysics.
After raiding the field hospital, Yamamoto went into the mountains again to make repairs. Although it was a little damaged, he thought it was worth it.
But just when they started to rest, they encountered a sneak attack by the Flying Tigers of the new second regiment.
In terms of strength, the Yamamoto Special Forces team is stronger on both sides. However, a key problem is that the Special Forces team has just completed a sneak attack and does not have enough ammunition. In this era of hot weapons, insufficient ammunition will cause great harm. Unfortunately, in addition, although they had rich experience in jungle warfare, they could not compare with the local vigilantes of the New Second Regiment Flying Tigers, so they began to suffer casualties as they fought.
In this way, the Yamamoto Special Forces retreated while fighting, barely escaping the pursuit of the Flying Tigers.
But one wave came after another. When they almost ran out of ammunition and food, and were about to arrive at Chuliang County, they encountered bandits again, and they were bandits from Heifeng Village!
If Xu San was also present, then he would definitely recognize that the leader was Lian Wushang.
It can be said that the Heifeng Village defeated Yamamoto this time, because they had almost no ammunition at this moment, and the firepower of the Heifeng Village was extremely fierce.
If the sound of fighting gunfire hadn't attracted the patrolling Japanese soldiers, his special force would have lost several people.
Yamamoto, who was extremely frustrated, had formed a relationship with the bandits of Heifeng Village. At the same time, he also remembered the name of the third master Lian Wushang, and planned to use this village to practice for the new recruits in his spare time.
After arriving at Chuliang, he felt extremely frustrated and unlucky, and then he chatted with Colonel Kurosawa about his recent bad luck.
Kurosawa is a very superstitious person, and he is very obsessed with it. He is the kind of person who has to read the almanac every time he fights. It was this person who gave Yamamoto a trick, asking him to find an "expert" to break his bad luck.
Yamamoto arrived too far away. Remembering Kurosawa's words, he sent someone out to find out if there was any "expert". The result he brought back was that the Taoist Ban Dou Mi from the Chenghuang Temple was an accurate fortune teller and was good at deciphering the fortune.
Putting on casual clothes and taking a translator, I successfully found Taoist Ban Dou at the Chenghuang Temple, and successfully asked for a bag of tips. When I went back and opened it, there was a note inside that read, "Those who have no hair on their heads have big hair." A wise person can understand the current situation.”
After seeing this note, Yamamoto had some faith in this Taoist with half a bucket of rice, because in his impression, only Xu San seemed to agree with the bald head + wisdom, and after Xu San helped him shift the blame, he felt that his luck had begun. Well, not only did he make money, but he also received frequent awards from Yoshio Shinozuka.
Later, he went to see Yoshio Shinozuka and accepted the task of destroying the Xiangshan Town Intelligence Station.
This mission is only a superficial mission, the real mission is the ten tons of gold hidden in Xiangshan Town.
These ten tons of gold came from the British East Asan Company's plunder in China for many years. The Japanese intelligence office also tracked it for a long time before identifying the target. And after tonight, these ten tons of gold will leave Xiangshan Town.
Faced with ten tons of gold, why would Yoshio Shinozuka not be tempted, so based on the principle of chasing the grass and hunting the rabbit, he decided to take down the important intelligence station Xiangshan Station as well.
Of course, Yoshio Shinozuka planned to leave such an important task to his love, Kazuki Yamamoto, to complete it.
Faced with such an important task, Yamamoto was hesitant whether to take it or not!
His military rank is already that of Colonel, and he cannot move without great merit.
And these ten tons of gold are a huge achievement,
However, he was seriously injured in the previous battle. He can move around normally, but if it involves a high-intensity battle, he will not be able to do it.
At this moment, he thought of Taoist Taoist Ban Dou Mi's bag.
Those who have no hair on their heads have great wisdom and can solve the current situation.
When I asked for this tip bag, the Taoist priest Ban Dou Mi said that it should only be opened when encountering difficulties. It was probably due to a problem with the translation skills. The lack of explanation caused the tip bag to be opened in advance.
As a result, Yamamoto admired the Taoist priest even more.
So if
In the end, Yamamoto chose to accept the mission and handed the task of seizing the gold to Xu San instead of Yoshino Ichi.
Yamamoto is not blindly superstitious like Kurosawa. He has weighed the pros and cons before accepting the task.
In terms of commanding battles and individual soldier qualities, Yoshino is much better than Xu San.
But Xu San has high force value and strong adaptability. Most importantly, Xu San is proficient in Chinese, Japanese, and English.
This batch of gold belongs to the British, the territory belongs to the Central Army, and their elite are Japanese, so language is particularly important in this mission.
Yoshino is a little fan of Yamamoto and was a little dissatisfied with this, but he accepted it happily after hearing Yamamoto's explanation.
The above is the reason why Xu San accepted the task of seizing the gold. Although it was full of chance and coincidence, this task still fell into his hands.
(Off-screen, Taoist Priest: "My tip bag was the one who asked this devil to go to Ciyun Temple to find Master Fan, not that Xu San.")
Of course Xu San didn't know what was going on here. He now felt that his head was three times bigger.
I took five people to grab ten tons of gold, which equaled two tons per person. Although gold does not take up space, Xiangshan Town is a central military territory. Even if there are traitors leading the party, facing such a quantity A large amount of gold cannot be taken out easily.
Seeing the cold sweat on Xu San's forehead, Yamamoto asked, "Conan-kun, is there a problem?"
Xu San raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are a little less people, only five. We can't give five more, so we can join a class together."
"No, except for Yoshino-kun, all the people I brought too far away will be handed over to you. Remember, this mission is top secret. Except for the members of the special team, everyone must keep it secret! If the secret is leaked, those of you in Ping An City will I will kill all women, no matter how big or small!"
