Chapter 423: Make arrangements again
Ning Zhiheng then rushed to the Shiyuan warehouse and the Fukuoka warehouse to investigate, the situation was similar, the three military warehouses were all heavily defended, and they couldn't get close at all.
From a distance, Ning Zhiheng carefully observed the Fukuoka warehouse, the largest military warehouse built by the Japanese in Shanghai, and the one closest to the military dock.
There are two gates in total, one in and one out, and the guard sergeant at the gate is very strict in checking, especially for the vehicles entering, the compartment, the bottom of the car, and even the cab of each military vehicle will be searched, and the driver's documents will be carefully checked, and there are no loopholes to exploit at all.
Ning Zhiheng originally wanted to repeat his old tricks, like the last time he infiltrated the Japanese consulate in Hangzhou, he fell under the bottom of the truck transporting military supplies and blended into the military warehouse, but now it seems that this trick will not work, and the precautions here are much tighter.
Yi Huaan said on the side: "Stationmaster, the precautions here are too tight, even people can't sneak in, not to mention that it is too difficult to transport explosives in. ”
Ning Zhiheng looked out the window, observing every move at the warehouse door, and finally said helplessly: "Now it seems that we still underestimated the difficulty of this mission before, at least it is impossible to sneak in during the day, and we will observe again at night to see if their night inspection is also so strict, I hope they can relax at night, otherwise some of my previous ideas will be overturned and need to be redesigned." ”
Ning Zhiheng held his forehead with his hand, his brows were tightly locked, if he had to observe at night, then he must have a foothold at night, and now there were many people and vehicles around during the day, and he could also use this to conceal his whereabouts. But at night, it is necessary to find an observation point for observation, and the car must not be used, otherwise a car will be parked alone nearby at night, and it will be easy to be noticed by the Japanese patrol.
Ning Zhiheng thought for a while, and then instructed: "Let's go find a place to stay now, it seems that we need to stay here for a few days, and it just so happens that I also need to check where the architectural drawings of these three military warehouses are?" ”
Ning Zhiheng personally came to reconnoiter this time, observing the terrain is one thing, and more importantly, he has to find the architectural drawings of these three military warehouses.
Because to blast a building, it is not simply to place the explosives in a random place and detonate them directly, of course, unless the amount of explosives used is sufficient, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.
In order to achieve the best effect of blasting, it is necessary to place explosives on the bearing points of the building, and at the same time destroy these important nodes, so that the entire building structure collapses, and the purpose of destruction is achieved.
You must know that these three military warehouses were carefully built by the Japanese, and the overall structure is very strong, and if it is not destroyed at important bearing points, it will not be able to achieve the expected results at all.
Moreover, military warehouses are so well guarded that it is extremely difficult to smuggle large quantities of explosives into them, so it is necessary to minimize the amount of explosives used, the less the amount used, the more convenient it is to transport, in short, the less the better.
In other words, the minimum dose of explosives must be used to achieve the maximum blasting effect, and according to the requirements of the seats, at least to the extent that the military warehouse should be taken out of service. Of course, it is better to destroy it completely, but that would be very difficult, and the amount of explosives needed alone would be very large, and it would be even more difficult to transport.
Therefore, Ning Zhiheng demanded from the beginning that it was necessary to use the most efficient explosives in the world, Tinti, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
Yi Hua'an drove the car, according to Ning Zhiheng's instructions, and drove straight to the largest Japanese Jiangwan gathering area nearby, which had never been occupied by the Chinese army, and the recovery speed was also the fastest.
After such a long period of restoration, there are no traces of war at all.
The crowds around the area gradually increased, and the Japanese expatriates who had been evacuated before the war are now returning to Shanghai, most of them crowded into the area where the buildings are still intact.
However, the surrounding neighborhood is also gradually recovering, and there is a noisy and busy scene everywhere.
Ning Zhiheng looked around, pointed to a building in front of him, and said, "Stop here, I'll take a look." ”
Yi Huaan drove the Buick sedan to a stop in front of a building designated by Ning Zhiheng, which is a tall four-story building with a noble and fashionable appearance, biased towards Western-style high-end buildings, and the signboard reads the words "Spring Hotel".
This is probably the most upscale hotel in the neighborhood, and there are many cars parked outside, and at first glance it is not a place where ordinary Japanese expats can spend their money.
Yi Huaan opened the car door for Ning Zhiheng after getting out of the car, and Ning Zhiheng motioned for him to stay in the car and wait. He walked into the lobby of the Kasuga Hotel.
Ning Zhiheng entered the hall and looked around, the whole hall was very large and luxuriously decorated, and there were many seats on the right side of the hall for guests to rest.
There were several well-dressed Japanese men and women sitting in the seats, they exchanged softly, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter, and the Japanese who were able to enter such a high-end hotel and the Japanese expatriates who were in a hurry with their luggage on the street outside were obviously people from two worlds and classes.
Ning Zhiheng came to the counter in the hall, and a young waiter asked respectfully, "Sir, what do you need?" ”
Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly, and said in a light tone: "Please prepare a suite for me." ”
Seeing that Ning Zhiheng was dressed in a straight suit, with an elegant temperament and a graceful demeanor, the waiter did not dare to slack off, and quickly nodded yes.
After registering for Ning Zhiheng, he chose a high-end suite, and quickly led Ning Zhiheng to a suite on the third floor, opened the door and invited Ning Zhiheng to enter.
This spring hotel is indeed the best hotel in the Japanese agglomeration area, the suite is fully equipped and exquisitely decorated, Ning Zhiheng came to the window, looked outside, and could clearly see the surrounding scenery at a glance, and he could also see his own car downstairs, he nodded with satisfaction.
He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a banknote, handed it to the waiter, and said, "Good work! ”
The waiter's eyes lit up, this is a ten-dollar bill, which is definitely a lot of income for him, especially the tip in US dollars, this is the first time the waiter has encountered it, and the young man on the opposite side is generous, and he is by no means an ordinary person.
stepped forward and hurriedly took the tip given by Ning Zhiheng, and bowed respectfully: "Sir, thank you so much, if there is anything else you need from me, please just ask!" ”
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile: "What's your name?" ”
The waiter quickly replied, "My name is Ikemoto Youren!" Thank you for your kind attention! ”
"Chimoto-kun, that's right, I used to have my own property in Shanghai, but this time I came back and found that it had become a ruin in this war, so I wanted to buy another property, but I was short on time and didn't have the energy to do these things, I want to know, can you help me find a reliable middleman?"
Ning Zhiheng lacks understanding of some of the current situation in the Japanese occupation zone, he needs to integrate into it as soon as possible and find what he needs, before there was Ji Hongyi who could do these things for himself, now he can only find a middleman who is familiar with the situation to inquire about the news for himself and do some things that are inconvenient for him.
Ning Zhiheng knew that his main opponent in the future would be the Japanese, assassination, blasting, and even obtaining intelligence, and even contacting He Siming and Seiji Yasuda, all of which needed to settle a fixed foothold in the Japanese occupation zone, so he was ready to buy a house here for backup.
When Chimoto Youren heard Ning Zhiheng's words, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, today's harvest is not small, not only can he earn a lot of tips, but he can also draw another benefit.
He hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course I can serve you, I happen to know a friend like this, he is very familiar with the overseas Chinese area in Shanghai, and he is dedicated to doing something for a person of honorable status like you, he is now in the hall on the first floor, I will call him to meet you immediately!" ”
"Okay, bring him to me right away!" Ning Zhiheng said.
Ikemoto bowed down and went downstairs quickly, he came to the hall on the first floor, and took a few steps to the rest area on the right side of the hall.
At this time, a man in his thirties was talking to several Japanese businessmen in a low voice, but it was obvious that the businessmen were not willing to talk to him more and were very cold to him.
Ikemoto Youren stepped forward and gave the man a look, the man was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to say goodbye to the merchants, but the other party didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
The man was annoyed, but he still turned around with a smiling face and left, and followed Ikemoto Youren to a corner.
"Hirao, I found you a big customer today." Ikemoto Youren said in a low voice.
Hirao Daichi's eyes suddenly lit up, looked at Ikemoto Youren and said, "Ikemoto-kun, tell me quickly, what kind of big customer is it?" ”
With that, a bill slipped into Ikemoto's jacket pocket.
But Chimoto Youren was not very satisfied, and said with squinted eyes: "This is a big customer, you want to buy a property here, and you are very generous, and this time your commission is quite a lot." ”
"Is it true?" When Hirao Daichi heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he didn't hesitate any longer, and another bill was stuffed into Ikemoto Youren's pocket.
"Follow me!" This time, Ikemoto didn't say anything more, but turned around and went upstairs directly, and Hirao Daichi immediately followed.
Came to Ning Zhiheng's room, knocked on the door and entered, Ikemoto Youren respectfully introduced to Ning Zhiheng: "Mr. Fujiwara, this is my friend Hirao Daichi, he knows the situation here very well, he is very capable, you can find him if you have any needs." ”
Hirao Dazhi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Ning Zhiheng, and said respectfully: "Mr. Fujiwara, please take care of me!" ”
