Chapter 80: The Fight for Medicines (1)
"Probably not, he's absolutely concerned about anything that can get money. And I also think this is very likely, there are many warehouses and small wharves built by foreigners in Jiangdong, I plan to go to the east coast today and tomorrow to see the situation, if we can really find this batch of medicines, after we return to Nanjing, the intelligence department should be very beneficial to you. Tang Cheng's answer deviated a little from the original topic, but Zhang Jianghe didn't dwell too much on it.
Inform Zhang Jianghe about the medicine, Tang Cheng just wanted to use Zhang Jianghe to pass the news to Zhou Hongxiang. Zhou Hongxiang is a member of the underground party in Shanghai, and if she knows, it means that Xu Huanshan and those people also know, which is much safer than going to meet with Xu Huanshan to inform him of this matter. I have to say that Tang Cheng is now learning to consider the pros and cons, although he can't be sure if Hans has sent someone to spy on him, he can be 100% sure that Bai Zhanshan will definitely do this.
Two days later, it was New Year's Day, and Tang Cheng decided to do it on New Year's Day, so there was not much time left for him. In the next two days, Tang Cheng went out early and returned late all day, and Bai Zhanshan's secretly arranged personnel were confused, and they couldn't see what Tang Cheng was haunting the east bank of the Huangpu River all day long. "That kid is afraid that he has already found the whereabouts of the medicines, so he will immediately dispatch people to Jiangdong, and he must find those medicines before the others."
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Bai Zhanshan's first reaction was to immediately dispatch people to Jiangdong. In Bai Zhanshan's cognition, Tang Cheng is a money fan who can't afford to make a profit, if Jiangdong has no benefits to occupy, Tang Cheng will definitely not go to Jiangdong for two days in vain. To say that Bai Zhanshan's hunch was right, the people from the intelligence department rushed to Jiangdong, and in just half a day, they found several people in Jiangdong in a row.
"It should be right, that batch of medicines came from India, India is the territory of the British, and it is only fitting to put it in the warehouse of the British." Bai Zhanshan's subordinates were not all wine bags and rice bags, so he searched for them along the route of Tangcheng in Jiangdong, and soon locked down several warehouses of British merchants. After discussing with his subordinates, Bai Zhanshan also preferred the inference that the medicine was stored in the British warehouse, but they had not yet been able to finally determine the target.
"Tang, the news may have leaked out, and my people said that other forces have appeared in Jiangdong." Hans didn't know that Tang Cheng was the driving force behind the current situation, and when he saw Tang again, Hans's face was not very good-looking, he was afraid that the medicine would be snatched away by other forces in advance, and his own efforts would be in vain.
Hans's worries, Tang Cheng also had it, he did the bureau to pass the news to the Shanghai underground party at the same time, but also pulled Bai Zhanshan in, now counting Hans's side, just what he knows there are three forces involved. Shanghai is the territory of the Green Gang, and the slightest disturbance will make the Green Gang know, Tang Cheng guessed at the moment that among the other forces mentioned by Hans, there should also be the Green Gang involved.
"Tang, if we grab it hard, the strength on our side may not be enough. As you know, my side is mainly focused on gathering intelligence, and there are not many operatives. "Hans knows what Tang Cheng can know, what must be hidden, and the manpower mobilized during the last attack on Henry is actually Hans's limit.
"Hans, we are friends, and you promised that if you take this batch of medicines, I will take thirty percent of them. So, you don't have to worry about manpower, I will definitely do my best to help you get those medicines, I am a trustworthy person. Tang Cheng squinted at Hans nonchalantly, "But I have something to tell you first, you just said that there are people from other forces in Jiangdong, and I am afraid that it will cause a scuffle at that time." ”
"I'm not afraid of fighting with people, I'm just worried about how you can keep the medicine after it arrives! Although it is the Bund after crossing the river, once the fire is exchanged, there may not be time to transport goods and load the ship. Tang Cheng's worry at the moment was actually just testing Hans, he had to know if Hans still had a back-up arrangement, lest he be sold by this product at that time.
"Don, you don't have to worry about this, I have planned it a long time ago!" Hans then smiled at Tang Cheng. "As long as the time is determined, there will be an American freighter on the river to pick it up, and they will cover the water for this batch of medicines to leave. If this is in Tianjin, I can still find American warships to help, in this world, not only bullets are used, but there is also a thing called banknotes. ”
Hans unreservedly told Tang Cheng the name of the American freighter, which also included the route and destination of the medicine leaving Shanghai, and learned that Hans was going to transport the medicine to Tianjin, Tang Cheng suddenly had a new idea in his heart. Tang Cheng deliberately called the residence, and learned from the housekeeper that Zhou Hongxiang had not returned from going out, so he knew that Zhang Jianghe had deliberately revealed the matter of the medicine to Zhou Hongxiang, and the latter should also pass the news to the Shanghai underground party at this moment.
Tang Cheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately called according to the emergency contact number given to him by Xu Huanshan. The person who answered the phone was not Xu Huanshan, after Tang Cheng said on the phone that he was his third uncle according to Xu Huanshan's explanation, the person on the other end of the phone immediately gave Tang Cheng an address. Tang Cheng rushed to this new address, and finally saw Xu Huanshan, "I believe you should have already obtained the information on the medicine, but now that a new situation has emerged, the plan may need to be changed!"
The only person who met with Tang Cheng was Xu Huanshan himself, this was Tang Cheng's request, if the other people of the underground party knew that they were in contact with them, there might be unexpected dangers and troubles in the future. "Now I just know that there are three waves of people who are looking for this batch of medicines, maybe the Japanese and the Green Gang. The five groups of forces are in a big melee, and this kind of action is likely to lead to annihilation. Tang Cheng kindly reminded Xu Huanshan not to be blinded by the good news in front of him.
Xu Huanshan is not the kind of person who likes to be hot-headed, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do and what not to do!" It's a good thing to be able to get that batch of medicines, but if you want to exchange human lives, it's too much to lose, and I'm not stupid enough to do that!" Xu Huanshan's assurance made Tang Cheng feel at ease, but when he saw Xu Huanshan this time, he didn't want to persuade the other party to give up this batch of medicines.
"The current situation seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is secretly dangerous, the medicines are stored in the warehouses of the British, and I think there must be some people in the concession who are also fighting for the idea of those medicines. It will be very difficult for foreigners, the Japanese, the intelligence department, and the green gang to get those medicines under their attack. I came to you because I had an idea to discuss with you, what do you think about taking only some of the medicines? ”
Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan's eyes light up, and then he clapped his hands and smiled, "As soon as you say this, I will understand what you mean, you want to create chaos, and then fish in troubled waters, and finally splash this pot of dirty water on other forces." Xu Huanshan's reaction was not slow, but after hearing Tang Cheng say that he would only take away part of the medicine, he immediately understood what Tang Cheng wanted to express.
Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this, "That's right, I think about it, and only fishing in troubled waters can I have a chance of success." If you want to splash dirty water on other people, you must leave them some sweetness, otherwise there is no way to divert the attention of other forces. Tang Cheng did not tell Xu Huanshan about his relationship with Hans, but in his subconscious, it seemed that except for the Japanese, only Hans was the best scapegoat.
Tang Cheng opened the sketch he had drawn, stretched out his hand and pointed to the small red dot in the sketch, and said to Xu Huanshan. "This is a sketch I made myself, and the location of this red dot is the warehouse where the medicines are stored. Originally, I was going to kidnap the British owner of this warehouse, and then act during the day to directly transport the medicines from the warehouse. Now it seems that this plan has a lot of loopholes, because the British owner of the warehouse is not in Shanghai now. ”
"So, I revised my plan of action, tomorrow is New Year's Day, and after dark, I will personally lead people to raid this warehouse, and the person who provided me with this information will arrange for an American freighter to meet in the Huangpu River. What you have to do is to provide me with the manpower to operate, and also prepare another batch of manpower, and after I lead people to raid the warehouse, be the yellow finch that sees the prey captured by the praying mantis. Of course, you can't take all the medicine with you, or that friend of mine will see the flaw!"
Asking the people of the underground party to directly participate in the raid was an idea that Tang Cheng had when he heard Hans say that he did not have enough manpower to operate. "The people you provide to me should have a little bit of a Jianghu atmosphere on them, don't let people see that they have discipline at a glance, I want the kind of people who look like they are doing things for money and look lazy." Tang Cheng's request made Xu Huanshan's eyes widen, and Tang Cheng only gave him one day to gather manpower, which was too urgent.
The embarrassment on Xu Huanshan's face was looked at by Tang Cheng, and then he grinned. "I know that your underground party has a way to solve this little matter, and for you, this sudden action can be regarded as a kind of exercise. If you want to pull up to be able to fight, but also to pull up and walk, there is a kind of action team that can fight anytime and anywhere, which will be a great improvement to your combat effectiveness. ”
What kind of person is Tang Cheng, when Xu Huanshan was in Nanjing, he had already done an investigation in private. Xu Huanshan knows a lot about the special task force that has made a name for itself in a short period of time, and if the Shanghai underground party also has such a strong execution team, this will undoubtedly be a great thing.
