Chapter 88 Wusongkou Wharf

Wusongkou Wharf is the confluence of the Yangtze River, Huangpu River and Fuzaobang, where ships and cruise ships and freighters from various countries stay.

In 1928, Wusong was classified as a special city of Shanghai and planned as a commercial port area, and earth-shaking changes began to take place, with prominent economic functions and the emergence of new education. It is also the hub of Shanghai, connecting the transportation of various countries, except for airplanes and cruise ships, so the situation here is very complicated.

In 1843, the artillery fire of the First Opium War opened five ports of passage in China. With the opening of the port of Shanghai, Wusongkou became lively again, and the number of foreign merchant ships entering and leaving Wusongkou increased year by year.

Shanghai has both a glamorous and gorgeous side, as well as a dirty and dark side, which can be very well reflected in Wusongkou Wharf, which can be described here in one sentence, a paradise for a few people, and a hell for a group of people.

The use of child labor is only a pediatric and commonplace thing here, and red clay opium, gun blackfire, human trafficking, gang fighting, etc., are staged every day at the dock in Wusongkou.

When Li Yang came here at night, he saw a lighthouse from a distance, which was built by the Dutch and is a landmark building on the boundary between the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River.

He came to the No. 2 warehouse at Wusongkou Wharf alone, all the way was built by the military police of the Japanese military police to build a passage, Li Yang drove all the way to the No. 2 warehouse, and Jin Mu Village had already come to prepare to accept the ship, waiting for Li Yang's arrival here.

Li Yang drove the car over, Jinmu Village immediately stepped forward and opened the door of Li Yang's car, and there was another person behind Jinmu Village, Li Yang had seen this person.

This person is the captain of the First Wing of the Japanese Military Police Keita Iwapo, Li Yang knows that he is the person sent by Togawa Taro, it seems that the relationship between this Iwapo Keita and Togawa Taro is a bit unusual.

The first time the ship of the Genji Kaisha entered the dock, the first wing of the gendarmerie was sent, and it was led by their captain, which is a typical public use for personal gain, and it seems that Tokawa Taro has done no less such things.

Li Yang looked at Keita Iwapo and said in surprise: "I remember you, the captain who stopped my car outside at the Genji Kaisha drinking party last time, what is your name?" ”

"Hi Yi, Mr. Chida's memory is really good, you just met me once, and you remembered it. Under the name of Iwapo Keita," Iwapo Keita looked up at Li Yang and said very politely.

"Hey, it's not that I have a good memory, but that you are an excellent soldier with a different temperament, I believe in you, work hard under General Shichuan, and the future is limitless."

"Thank you, sir, please" He looked at Li Yang and said the words of praise, not a lot of excitement, but not sad or happy, in his eyes, Li Yang's status is higher than him, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous here, and Shikawa Taro let himself come over, it is to do extradition for Genji Kaisha, he understands Shikawa Taro's thoughts, in order to please a big Japanese family, he is willing to go forward to lick, there has been no Genji Kaisha ship at the dock of Wusongkou before, this is the first time Genji Kaisha has come.

And Togawa Taro let himself come over, just to demonstrate, the first is to protect the goods of Genji Kaisha, and the second is that even if this is an international hub, we are like dominating here, and we can do whatever we want.

That's why they made such a big fanfare, blocking all the nearby ports, leaving only this one, allowing Genji Kai's ships to come in first, and the others to line up in the back, or go to other small docks and get on the ships, but the cost of transportation will be very large at that time.

And Togawa Taro invited Li Yang to come over to have a look, just to let Li Yang know that their gendarmerie has a lot of power and is very lenient, and there is no need to worry about the risk of cooperating with him.

But Li Yang knew that although he made a lot of fanfare this time and could show off his might very much here, once he left the port and left the Wusongkou wharf, their cargo ship would be targeted, and the safety would be greatly reduced.

Even if Togawa Taro is relatively powerful, he still doesn't dare to let the Japanese gendarmerie of the gendarmerie help Genji Kaisha deliver goods and materials, this is a blatant violation of military discipline, if he is stabbed above the supreme commander, then Togawa Taro, a group of people will be unlucky, and Li Yang will definitely not let them do this, and they have to find a good reason to do it, otherwise all the work done in front of them will be in vain.

Li Yang walked in the front, Iwapo Keita and Kanekimura followed, and there were more than 20 people from the Japanese military police and Genji Kaisha in the back, at this time the ship had already entered the dock, and it was really slowly approaching the dock, two full cargo ships were anchoring on the dock, throwing the heavy anchor into the water, and the ship slowly stopped on the shore.

Li Yang and the others walked over, lowered the ladder from the side of the boat, and the inside of the Genji Kaisha walked down from the boat, and Kanekimura saw it from a distance and trotted over.

The handover was being done over there, and after confirming the goods, the people on the top were starting to move the goods down, while the people from Genji Kaisha on the shore went forward to start handing over the goods, starting to count according to the list, and delivering the goods to the No. 2 warehouse, while Li Yang was communicating with Keita Iwapo.

"Iwapo-kun, this is a little gift from His Royal Highness Yuan, I hope you can like it" Li Yang quietly took out a small wooden box from his coat pocket and said softly to Iwapo Keita, this box is much smaller than the one from Togawa Taro, and there are five small yellow croakers in it.

"Mr. Chida, this is really precious" Keita Iwapo turned the wooden box in Li Yang's hand and opened him gently.

"Iwapo-kun, how much is the salary just for being a soldier, do you think about your relatives who are far away in Japan, if the war is over, will you rely on the salary of a soldier at that time? You should think about your future life, you should be clear about this, not only for yourself, but also for your loved ones."

Li Yang didn't take the box that Iwapo Keita had shirked, and there was never a reason to take back the things he sent, and Iwapo Keita looked at what Li Yang said very reasonably, and quietly moved the box to his waist and put it in his pocket.

Then continued to talk about the topic with Li Yang, Li Yang watched Keita Iwapo take the little yellow croaker away, and looked at Keita Iwapo with great relief, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

And the goods here are constantly being moved to the No. 2 warehouse, Jin Mucun has already gone to the No. 2 warehouse, where he still has work to do, the western medicine and steel pipes entrained in it, these things need to be unloaded from here and repacked, and these things, what Li Yang needs to take away at that time, will not be placed in the No. 2 warehouse, this is just a cover.

A few hours later, the goods were almost moved, and during this period, Li Yang and Iwapo Keita chatted very happily, and Iwapo Keita assured Li Yang that as long as Li Yang encountered a problem in Shanghai that could not be solved, or was embarrassed, he didn't need to call the general, just find himself, and then he could stand up for Li Yang.
