Chapter 61
As soon as Zhao Zhi and his entourage got off the plane with their luggage, they were stopped by several military policemen wearing red armbands at the airport. The gendarmes had several offices at the airport, two of which had slips of paper with the words on the doors, and the female and male soldiers were separated and brought into the rooms.
The old cannon wanted to reason with the gendarmes, but when the gendarmes saw the third level of the officers, Zhao Zhi stopped the old cannon to see what these gendarmes were going to do. Several military policemen with full faces asked Zhao Zhi to open their suitcases and backpacks, saying that they wanted to check. The gendarmes carefully inspected everything in the suitcase and backpack, and even asked Zhao Zhi to take off their military boots to check if there was anything under the insole. Even belts, steel helmets, and pockets were not spared.
The grumpy old cannon looked at the mess that had been turned over, and couldn't help it, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" We're not criminals, are we like you? ”
A gendarme, who was rummaging through a suitcase, looked up at the old cannon and replied, "If you don't ask you to take off your clothes, you're lucky."
After Uncle Guo threw a few packs of cigarettes to the gendarmes, the gendarmes relaxed the expressions on their faces, and their hands were not so messy. A gendarme who looked like a small leader approached his uncle and whispered, "Actually, we don't want to do this, it's news from Ramgarh, saying that some of the wounded soldiers who have recently returned to China are carrying a large amount of gold, all of which are robbing the Burmese people. Yesterday, three golden Buddhas were found on a passenger plane coming from Dingjiang, and those wounded soldiers were all locked up, or officers?"
Uncle Guo and Zhao Zhi glanced at each other, fortunately Edward was thoughtful, and the two suitcases containing gold bars had been held by Catherine, so there should be no problem. After the inspection, the gendarmes let Zhao Zhi out of the office, and the female soldiers were already waiting outside the door, Yuan Qingqing obviously knew the reason for the inspection, and her face was full of nervousness and uneasiness. A jeep drove up, and two guys in national army uniforms got out of the car. "Your weapons can't be taken out of the airport, we are ordered to collect the weapons of the returning soldiers" The leader looked at Zhao Zhi with a knife face, which belonged to Zhao Zhi's high rank.
Zhao Zhi nodded, Xiucai took out the documents issued by the British army headquarters and handed them to the two people, the British army could prove that these weapons were issued to Zhao Zhi by them, and only the British army had the right to take back these weapons. After reading the document, the knife face glanced at Zhao Zhi again, clasped his hands into fists, and performed a river and lake etiquette, "How offended, offended, farewell"
Uncle Guo looked at the jeep that left, and spat in his mouth, "These two dog days are on the Kunming black market, I have seen them before." Damn, under the banner of the national army, I came to rob Ming" "Forget it, let's go" Zhao Zhi pulled Uncle Guo and took everyone out of the airport, Catherine had already waited outside the airport with a few jeeps.
"Where now?" Catherine asked Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhishun replied, "Let's go to the office first, the 22nd Division has an office in Kunming, Edward has also returned to the 22nd Division, it will be early, let's go and see how to settle us, I will treat you to delicious food at night" "Okay" When I heard that there was delicious food in the evening, the excited Catherine stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep rushed out like an arrow and drove towards the city of Kunming.
Between the two arches of "Golden Horse" and "Biji", which are quite famous in the urban area of Kunming, there is a small alley that can accommodate jeeps to drive through. On a dilapidated door less than 50 meters away from the entrance of the alley, there was a sign "Kunming Office of the New 22nd Division of the Chinese Army in India", which Edward asked for from the military headquarters of the expeditionary force. On the dilapidated door, there is not much black paint left, showing a dilapidated atmosphere. Pushing open the gate, the courtyard is a two-story wooden house, and the open space in the courtyard is full of garbage and weeds. In the corner of the courtyard there was a row of low houses, and when you looked through the open door, you could see neatly folded quilts, apparently a temporary place for the soldiers.
"Who are you?" A hunchbacked old man was coming out of the house, and when he saw Zhao Zhi and Uncle Guo who had walked into the courtyard, he questioned loudly.
"We are wounded soldiers who have just returned from Burma, and we have warrants, and we have come to the office to report," Zhao Zhi took out the military warrant from his purse that Edward had helped them with. "Go up to the second floor and look for Director Huang" The old man turned his face and entered a room.
Stepping on the wooden staircase, Zhao Zhi and Uncle Guo went up to the second floor, and heard the laughter of "Hu" coming from a room on the second floor. Pushing open the door, Zhao Zhi walked in, and the two men and two women in the room just glanced at Zhao Zhi, and continued to code cards.
"May I ask who is Director Huang?" Zhao Zhi asked the men and women playing mahjong in general. Xu is code card voice was too chaotic, no one answered, Zhao Zhi had to aggravate his voice and asked again. A man in his 40s, with a big belly and a bald head, looked up at Zhao Zhi and asked impatiently, "What are you looking for him?" ”
Zhao Zhi saw that this fat man was wearing the rank of colonel on his military uniform, and it was estimated that he was the Director Huang. He took out the warrant of the military department and handed it over, "We are wounded soldiers who have just returned from Myanmar and need to be placed by the office."
The fat colonel looked at the warrant, "You are Zhao Zhi?" Zhao Zhi didn't know what he meant by asking, so he just answered some questions truthfully. The fat man put the warrant aside, "Now that the supplies are tight, it's really difficult to accommodate you, or else, the order from the military department has just arrived, and the 22nd Division in India has been merged into the new First Army." You guys go to Dabanqiao, there's a material warehouse there, weren't you a quartermaster before? Just take a dozen of your people to Dabanqiao to guard the warehouse, stay here today, and give you a new appointment document tomorrow" Director Huang looked at Zhao Zhi calmly, playing with the dice in his hand.
To Director Huang's surprise, Zhao Zhi smiled and promised that he would go to Dabanqiao when he got the appointment documents tomorrow. Damn, looking at Zhao Zhi who came downstairs, Director Huang threw the dice angrily, this Zhao Zhi's city is very deep, and it is not like what Zhao Yuanzhi said. In the morning, he received a telegram from Zhao Yuanzhi, saying that Zhao Zhi had offended him and asked Director Huang to make things difficult for Zhao Zhi. Director Huang said that asking Zhao Zhi to go to Dabanqiao to see the warehouse was actually just a means, as long as Zhao Zhi gave some benefits, he naturally didn't have to go. But Zhao Zhi agreed, the warehouse in Dabanqiao was just an empty shell, and it still needed to be guarded, and Director Huang had a hard time doing it.
A half-old sitting opposite saw through Director Huang's thoughts, pointed at Director Zhuang with red nails, and smiled, "Lao Huang, what's wrong, what is on your mind to tell me and listen to it" and so Director Huang said what he was worried about, the woman lit a cigarette and smiled, "What should I do, what's so difficult about this." Just let them go, I heard the dead ghost in my family say that Dabanqiao is Wang Heizi's defense area. According to Wang Heizi's temper, it is estimated that they will not stay for a few days, and they will run back, and when the time comes, you will convict them of fleeing the war, then everyone will be happy."
Zhao Zhi and Uncle Guo, who went downstairs, naturally didn't know that Director Huang was calculating them. This will Zhao Zhizheng take everyone to the Juxian Restaurant on Nanping Street, ready to have a big meal.
