Chapter 178: Hankou Intelligence Station (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In just one year, Xu Maofu quickly matured in the furnace-like military career and the baptism of blood and fire, not only with extraordinary courage and decisive courage, but also learned to think and judge the situation under the words and deeds of his second brother Zheng Yi.

During the three months he was sent to Hong Kong, Xu Maofu, who was shouldering heavy responsibilities, had to endure pressure from the army, family, career, life, and so on every day, and every day he had to run around for the establishment of a secret intelligence station, the procurement of weapons and equipment, and so on, racking his brains, facing his virtuous wife and babbling baby son every day, facing his mother's chattering advice and his father's deep gaze, and his body and mind were tempered.
From time to time, Xu Maofu would go to the Zheng family's mansion in Taipingshan to get the guidance and teachings of Zheng Lanting, the head of the Zheng family, at the dining table and in the study.
All of this converged into a surging momentum, prompting Xu Maofu to obtain the most important epiphany in his life in just a few months, and achieved the biggest transformation in his life.
Zheng Heng also felt a lot of changes in Xu Maofu, and unconsciously regarded Xu Maofu as his trusted family, rather than the humble and dispensable son of the family, so Zheng Heng, who was proud of his talents, spoke much more easily:
"Maofu, I don't care about the radio and artillery on this list, you are responsible, I will dredge it behind the back when the goods arrive, there is no problem on the British side, just let General Li Delin pick up the ship and receive the goods...... Now that the whole of Wuhan has fallen into his hands, who would dare to offend him? ā
"Most of the medicines and surgical instruments are in stock, and Durol Ding and quinine injections can also be provided, but sulfonamides cannot meet General Li Delin's request for 100 boxes, I only have more than 50 boxes left, and the old customers in the surrounding counties still have to take care of it, and each county can only get two boxes per month, so I can only give General Li Delin 20 boxes."
"If there is more, you need to wait until after the Spring Festival to provide it, and it is estimated that there is not much left on the side of Huhai Company, and you have to find a way from the Lulin Company in Hong Kong."
Xu Maofu nodded: "No problem, I'll give General Li Delin a phone call to explain, and send a telegram to Hong Kong in the evening, implement the goods on this list, and ship them as soon as possible while there is a big mess today, and strive to finish this business before the Spring Festival." ā
Xu Maofu immediately moved the telephone on the table, quickly dialed the phone number left by Li Zongren, and explained the matter clearly in less than five minutes, obtaining Li Zongren's understanding and consent.
Seeing Xu Maofu get things done in three and two clicks, Zheng Heng sighed with emotion: "Now it seems that it is right for the second brother to let you come back and take charge alone." ā
Xu Maofu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the biggest reason is that you have the eldest brother to take care of you, otherwise how can the second brother and I have the guts?" ā
"Don't say anything else, just say that a shipload of supplies and hundreds of boxes of weapons and equipment arrived a few days ago, if it weren't for the eldest brother to get through all the relationships, my second brother and I wouldn't dare to do it if we have a hundred guts!"
"But please rest assured, this is the first and last time, and weapons and equipment will never be shipped to Wuhan in the future."
Zheng Heng suddenly put his mind at ease: "That's good, there is no problem with transporting other things, I don't even have to pay taxes to say hello, but the radio and arms are too sensitive, unless it is done with Li Delin's Gui army, it is easy to have an accident." ā
"If someone really finds out, I'm afraid that the British will not only not be able to help, but will find me trouble!"
Xu Maofu smiled: "The second brother has his own arrangements, and he will definitely not embarrass the eldest brother." ā
"Hmm...... By the way, can you tell me what is the identity of the six people who came in two batches during this time? Old Boxer Chen whispered to me, these six of your subordinates look like honest and quiet students, but in fact, they are all good at killing people and seeing blood, right? ā
Zheng Heng stared at Xu Maofu's eyes with a smile.
Xu Maofu showed an honest smile on his face: "Sure enough, I can't hide your eyes, big brother, haha!" These six brothers are all the elite of the army personally selected by the second brother, who can be literate and martial, loyal, and their task is to be a bodyguard for you and me, train hard for two years, learn from the experience of the shopping mall, increase social experience, and don't worry about going out to run errands or something when the time comes. ā
Zheng Yi asked suspiciously: "Didn't the second brother open a new trading company in Hong Kong?" It's better to hone in Hong Kong than here, right? ā
"There are already three people in the trading company in Hong Kong, and these six brothers under my command have no experience in business, and they can't even understand Cantonese. At least for two years, they can only stay in Wuhan and Huhai as errands, and after two years, it will depend on the meaning of the second brother. ā
Xu Maofu has cultivated to the realm where his face does not change color and his heart does not beat when he tells lies, his current identity is extremely confidential and very important, except for the members of the Mentor Intelligence Team and Xu Maofu himself, no one knows that Xu Maofu is establishing a special intelligence agency.
This special agency was solely responsible for supervising the personnel of the intelligence stations in Hong Kong, Hankow, Huhai, Nanchang, Ji'an, Ganzhou, and the forthcoming Nanking intelligence station, and at the same time carrying out assassinations, hoeing, raping, and other tasks to eliminate all hidden dangers.
At present, the six people who followed Xu Maofu to Hankou to train are all outstanding talents drawn from the tutor's special agent company.
Two of them will stay in Hankou as employees of Yinghua Pharmaceutical Company, responsible for the transfer of materials, and at the same time, monitor and protect the personnel lurking in the Hankou intelligence station.
The other four will go to Shanghai separately, one of them will enter the church school to cover up his identity, and the other will enter the increasingly large Oriental News Agency to hide and collect all kinds of information from the news sent from various places.
As for the remaining two, they will stay at the headquarters of the French Concession, responsible for intelligence aggregation and analysis in normal times, and will use radio stations when necessary to send important information directly to the base area to carry out the special orders issued by Zheng Yi.
Hsu Maofu himself would be holding a passport from a Hong Kong colony to Hankow, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xu Maofu, who was dressed as a second devil, accompanied the accountant and Englishman Rogers of Yinghua to the "Dingxin Pawnshop" on Hanzheng Street, and under the courteous greeting of the shopkeepers, he carefully admired the antique utensils, and soon shook his head and left the pawnshop and transferred to the famous antique shop "Xiangyun Pavilion" next door.
Xu Maofu and the British left on the front foot, and Xu Zhiqian, the owner of the "Dingxin Pawnshop" who sent his son to school, came back on the back foot, and heard the shop guy say that there was a second devil and a foreigner who came to look for the bronze tripod of the Warring States Period, and thought about it and did not go to his heart, and told the man to write down this matter and enter the back room, and came to the couch to visit his sick wife.
Xu Zhiqian took the outstretched hand of his ordinary, pale face, smiled and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, Xiaobao has a new friend in the church academy, Professor Yang is very good to Xiaobao, Xiaobao is slowly not afraid of the blonde and blue-eyed Professor Yang, and he can study hard in the future." ā
The wife showed a pleased smile: "Our mother and son have dragged you down, since you came out to be a soldier, I haven't even been to the nearest Xiaogan City, I have lived in the countryside for half my life, I have no knowledge, and suddenly you came back, brought back so much money, bought land and a house for the family, and brought our mother and son to the big city of Wuhan, and took down such a big pawnshop, which made me feel like a dream." ā
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, the days will get better and better in the future." You are a little uncomfortable with the soil and water now, you will get better after lying down for a few days, and when you get better, you will slowly get used to life here. ā
The docile wife smiled happily: "Busy with your go, I feel much better after taking Western medicine for two days, I guess I can get up at night and cook for you two people." ā
Xu Zhiqian nodded, patted his wife's hand and said a few words, went out of the bedroom and turned to the bottom of the stairs, opened the small door of the storage room and closed it with his hand, slowly pushed open the shelves by the wall, and went down the dark wooden ladder to the bottom storeroom.
After his eyes adjusted to the dark environment, Xu Zhiqian groped his way forward and took two steps forward, lit the candles on the lamp stand by the wall, and then took out the brand-new Siemens radio station from the antique wooden box under the corner of the wall, and began to practice the fingering and rhythm of the report.
