Chapter 112: Cooperation
"Don, you can't do this..."Tang Cheng's last sentence was originally just deliberately coercing Hans, but he didn't expect Hans to take it seriously. In fact, it's no wonder that Hans took it seriously, after all, after Tang Cheng came to Shanghai, there were no fewer people who shot and killed the special high-tech people, just in the Hongkou District controlled by the Japanese army, Tang Cheng had already made a fuss several times in succession, and the Japanese officers and gendarmes killed and wounded in his hands were close to 100 people.
Hans was stunned when he said these words in a hurry, because he happened to see Tang Cheng smile and show an expression that he had long known would be like this. Hans wasn't a fool, he reacted immediately, "Don, you're a scam!" Hans, who was a little annoyed and angry, blushed, and his deception was even more an admission of Tang Cheng's previous inference. Hans's appearance at this moment made Tang Cheng grin and laugh out loud, and Hans had no choice but to tell the truth.
"The insider who informed me of this news was indeed a Japanese, and he was also an officer of the gendarmerie command. This Miyamoto actually had a classmate at the military police headquarters, and my entire informant happened to be in the same department as his classmate, and when I happened to hear the two talking on the phone, I learned that Miyamoto had actually transferred to Shanghai and returned to Japan. As he spoke, Hans secretly paid attention to Tang Cheng's reaction, he had not yet made up his mind to reveal the name and specific identity of his informant to Tang Cheng.
Hanston stopped talking, but Tang Cheng didn't speak, just looked at Hans, waiting for the other party to continue. Hans, who was helpless in his heart, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, so he had to continue to speak under Tang Cheng's signal, "My informant's name is Inoue Nakano, and he is a junior officer in the Japanese Military Police Headquarters. ”
Tang Cheng's previous inference was actually to a large extent to blackmail Hans, but he didn't expect that Hans really had a Japanese officer serving in the Japanese military police headquarters as an informant. Xu was because he saw the disbelief in Tang Cheng's eyes, Hans smiled a little proudly, "This Inoue Nakano is a well-known businessman family, it was not his intention to join the army, he is different from those other Japanese, Inoue Nakano only wants to make money and do business, after all, he was born in Osaka..."
Before Hans could finish his words, Tang Cheng interjected, "You said that this Inoue Nakano is from Osaka? When Hans said Osaka, Tang Cheng subconsciously thought of the famous Osaka Division in the Japanese army in World War II, that is, the Fourth Division of Japanese Drama that was praised by countless netizens as the division of peaceful traders in later generations. Speaking of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, it can be regarded as a strange existence in the Japanese army that invaded China in World War II, this division is completely composed of Osaka traders and small citizens, and the most outstanding thing is not the combat effectiveness, but the excellent trading ability no matter where it is.
It is said that the 4th Division of the Japanese Army not only traded arms and materials with the troops of the Nationalist Army, but even did the same with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the guns and ammunition distributed by the superiors could be sold by them as commodities to the opponents they were fighting against. At this moment, when I heard Hans say that this officer named Inoue Nakano was from Osaka and came from a merchant family, Tang Cheng immediately targeted him, why did this person become Hans's informant.
Hans is not Tang Cheng, so naturally he will not know the prestige of the Osaka Division in later generations, and he will not know what strange things the Japanese soldiers from Osaka have done in this war. "That's right! This Inoue Nakano is a native of Osaka! What's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with this person? Hans, who didn't understand why Tang Cheng cared about this, couldn't help but get nervous, but Tang Cheng shook his head lightly when he heard this, and said in his heart that Hans had found a cost-effective informant.
Seeing that Tang Cheng just shook his head slightly, but refused to tell the reason, he knew that Tang Cheng must have something to hide from Hans, so he didn't continue to ask. "Inoue Akano happened to hear Miyamoto Quiichi talking to his classmate on the phone, so he deliberately invited Miyamoto's classmate to drink, and then found an opportunity to talk, and then the news came to me. The location of Miyamoto Jingichi and the storage location of the goods on the dock were all asked by Inoue Nakano, so I don't think this is a trap set by Tegaoke. ”
Hans's explanation at this moment finally made all the doubts in Tang Cheng's heart disappear, if Hans's informant just happened to learn the news, and carefully recalled the whole process, it really didn't look like a trap set by the layout of the special high-tech department. "So what do you want to do? Kidnapping people directly from the French Concession and then forging documents to transfer those goods from the docks? Although Tang Cheng had dispelled his suspicions, his attitude had not changed, and he had no hope for this matter, because the risks involved were too great.
"If I were the leader of the special high-tech department, I might secretly contact the gendarmerie command and forcibly put pressure on the concession industry bureau. Then, by means of bribery and coercion, they united with the Shanghai gangsters to carry out a comprehensive blockade and search of the concession and even the entire Shanghai area. In this case, you still want to swallow the cargo on the dock, which is too risky. There are many ways to make money, and I don't approve of having to take such a risk, once something happens, it will be annoying. ”
Tang Cheng's persuasion at this moment sounded sincere, but he was secretly snickering in his heart, if Hans listened to his persuasion and decided to give up this matter, then he would cut off his beard halfway, and go to meet the Kwantung Army officer named Miyamoto Jingichi tonight. Tang Cheng's calculations are good, but Hans will not be easily fooled, especially Hans is very familiar with Tang Cheng's style of doing things, and he knows that Tang Cheng is definitely not a person who is afraid of danger.
"Tang, you don't know what Miyamoto brought to Shanghai included!" Hans, whose eyes flickered, finally gritted his teeth and revealed everything to Tang Cheng. "The Kwantung Army operates many mines outside the Kanto Army, including many gold mines, and this Miyamoto is also a very greedy guy, and he unites many Kwantung Army upper echelons to privately mine two gold mines outside the Kanto Army. One of the gold mines was used to hand over the crop to cover people's eyes, while the output of the other mine was concealed and put in their own pockets. ”
"Gold has always been a strictly controlled thing in Japan, and if it is shipped directly back to Japan from outside the customs, they cannot control the risk of leakage. As soon as Miyamoto turned to Shanghai this time, it was to take the foreign cargo ship here in Shanghai to transport the gold they had accumulated back to the Japanese mainland, and prepare for several companies to share the profits. In other words, even if we snatch this gold, Miyamoto will not dare to speak out, otherwise they will bear more trouble. Hans said everything at the moment, but Tang Cheng was still not satisfied.
"I guess this Miyamoto must have the guards he brought from outside the gates, right? Or are they the other watchers arranged by the top brass of the Kwantung Army? Hans, you're a good at gathering intelligence, but you're a newcomer to specific operational planning. IMHO, if you really want to swallow the gold that may be on the dock, you have to take into account all the factors, and all the problems that may arise. Tang Cheng's words sounded like he was teaching Hans a lesson, but the latter knew that this was Tang Cheng's kind reminder.
"The most important thing you should do now is to immediately send someone to find out the situation of the guards around Miyamoto, and at the same time find out the situation of the cargo at the dock." As Tang Cheng spoke, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and Hans knew that this was Tang Cheng's performance when he was thinking about things. "If I were this Miyamoto Jingichi, I would never put the gold I had saved up and was ready to be smuggled back to Japan in the dock warehouse, after all, the Sixteenth Shop Pier is not a safe place, and those gang forces in the Sixteenth Shop don't care if the goods are Kwantung Army officers."
Tang Cheng's last sentence was a complete reminder of Hans, and he didn't care that Tang Cheng and Ma San were still present here, so Hans grabbed the phone in front of the two of them and immediately told his subordinates to handle the matter. Ma San, who has been acting as a bystander, only at this time can he figure out the relationship between Tang Cheng and this big-nosed foreigner, although he doesn't know why this big-nosed foreigner has to follow Tang Cheng's advice, but he can see that the relationship between Tang Cheng and the two must be unusual.
The scrutiny in Ma San's eyes did not escape Tang Cheng's observation, but this was not the time for him to explain to Ma San. Tang Cheng had already worked with Hans many times, so once he decided to cooperate, everything would be much easier. After some arguments, Tang Cheng finally got a share of the benefits of 30%, Hans not only had to provide all the intelligence support, but also the weapons and equipment needed for the operation, and also included the benefit to Inoue Akano.
"Don, are you sure you need these weapons and equipment? Damn, why do you still need **and**? Do you want to completely bloodied the Sixteen Shop Pier? Hans had always suspected that Tang Cheng had other assistants in Shanghai, and when he saw the list of weapons and equipment listed by Tang Cheng on the spot, the whole doubt in his heart became clearer and clearer. The complaint in his mouth was just a temptation from Hans, but he didn't see the slightest difference in Tang Cheng's expression, but after Tang Cheng opened his mouth to answer, Hans's heart couldn't help beating violently.
"This time I didn't act alone, I prepared these weapons and equipment for other people." Tang Cheng's entire answer can be regarded as confirming Hans's guess all along, and the list of weapons and equipment listed by Tang Cheng is enough to arm an armed squad. Hans thought he had found the answer, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng, who was sitting across from him, was secretly smiling in his heart, and he didn't know that Tang Cheng was taking the opportunity to pick his wool.
