Chapter 358: The End of Provocation
Hu Biao, who returned to Shanghai from Zhengjin Bank on a previous trip, also let them use the money to buy various materials through the men he brought. The reason for this is also to prevent the little devil from tracking him down from money.
Among the currencies looted from the vaults, the yen was undoubtedly the largest, followed by a large number of banknotes issued by various countries in the concessions. The previous exchange of paper money at Citibank has made Hu Biao realize that this kind of thing should be done as little as possible.
If a large number of foreign banknotes are exchanged for other banks, it will inevitably attract the attention of the little devils. On the other hand, the use of foreign currency to buy supplies in the concession will not attract too many people's attention. It will be safer to buy it in a dispersed way.
Compared with the yen issued in later generations, the yen during the Republic of China was still quite valuable. With the capture of Shanghai by the Japanese army, the Japanese army also deliberately forced merchants to use the yen for commercial transactions, and in this way monopolized Shanghai's finance.
Thanks to the permission of the Japanese yen merchants in the concession, Hu Biao's matter of letting his subordinates purchase materials in batches was also well implemented. A large amount of yen was spent, and a large number of materials were piled up in several warehouses rented by Hu Biao in the concession.
Most of the goods sold by the first Aihua Company in the concession were purchased from China by Bruker. Many of these goods are currently selling well in the concession, even if they don't make much money, but they are enough to maintain the company's operation.
For Hu Biao, Aihua will focus more on investment and charity in the future. This time, when the Yellow River burst its banks, Hu Biao also asked Lin Yashi to contact the Shanghai Cross Society and the church's relief organization, and raised a batch of materials to be transported to the disaster area for disaster relief.
As for how much of this batch of relief materials can be distributed to the victims, I am afraid that Hu Biao will not be able to control it. The only thing that can be done is to arrange the troops under his command in the name of relief for the victims and save as many people as possible.
At the beginning of being in charge of these things, Lin Yashi seemed a little uncomfortable. As more people and things came into contact, Lin Yashi slowly adapted to her new identity. At least in front of outsiders, she is a rich young grandmother who is passionate about charity.
For the time being, Hu Biao doesn't need to spend too much energy on Aihua Company, and puts more effort into the Angel Firm and the Revival Conference. In Hu Biao's view, the revival of the society in a short period of time requires him to invest more time and energy.
Considering the importance of Shanghai, after some discussion and analysis, Hu Biao finally chose to leave the sniper captain Sun Erxi behind. He served as the captain of the Shanghai Operations, responsible for supervising the Renaissance Society and protecting his own industry.
Knowing Hu Biao's arrangement, Sun Erxi was also very surprised: "Captain, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to complete such a task!" ”
"There is a first time for everything, and you have to learn to stand alone. Although I can keep Lao Qin and Lao Chen, I think you are more suitable. The reason is that you have learned reconnaissance from Sandao for a period of time, and your reconnaissance level is very high.
Secondly, since you became the sniper captain, your marksmanship is also the best in the sniper team. In addition, although your foreign language level has not yet reached my requirements, it is at least better than Lao Qin and Lao Chen. Let you stay, the most suitable.
Members of the squad, I'll give you ten places. Sniper team and reconnaissance team, you can choose a few that you are familiar with and trust. Later, I will ask Lao Liu to transfer some elites from the intelligence group, so that you can set up our intelligence station in Shanghai as soon as possible.
In fact, I hope you can talk to Bruker and them a little more during your time in Shanghai. You've been with me for so long, you should know that foreign devils are actually just that, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
Even if you can't make up your mind, you can send me a telegram asking for instructions, or send it to me to deal with it next time. Including you, they and I will arrange more important tasks one after another in the future, and you are not the first. ”
After Hu Biao's persuasion and teaching, Sun Erxi didn't say much in the end. For them, although they prefer to follow Hu Biao. But as the team grows, so do the responsibilities they have to bear.
As Hu Biao said, they will have such a day sooner or later. Being able to entrust them with such a task is not Hu Biao's trust in them? For them personally, it is actually a rare opportunity.
How do they grow up without going through some wind and rain? In other words, when he just went behind enemy lines with Hu Biao earlier, Sun Erxi could also feel that his knowledge and strength had increased a lot compared to when he was in the lonely army camp.
After confirming the person in charge of the action team in Shanghai, after Ivan recruited good manpower, Hu Biao soon arrived at a secret stronghold in the French Concession. Looking at Hu Biao, who was brought in by Ivan, the recruited White Russian youths were full of curiosity.
One of them, who was about the same age as Ivan, looked at Hu Biao and said, "Ivan, he is your son-in-law?" ”
Regarding the middle-aged man's inquiry, without waiting for Ivan to speak, Hu Biao interjected very directly: "To be exact, I am Ivan's partner, and I will also be your boss in the future." The identity of a son-in-law, it's best not to mention it in the future! ”
Even if you know this, it's a bit of a shame for Ivan. But in this case, Hu Biao must confirm the primary and secondary status among these people. Ivan was his partner, but in the Revival organization, Hu Biao had to dominate.
"Can you understand what I said to Ivan?"
"Of course! In fact, in addition to Russian, I speak Japanese, English, French and German. You can come here, I'm sure Ivan also told you what you need to do in the future, right? ”
Looking at Hu Biao and his entourage who walked into the secret stronghold, many young people in Tsarist Russia said with a little disdain: "If you want us to work for you, you should at least show your strength, right?" Although we like money, we prefer powerful bosses. ”
"What do you mean by strength? Marksmanship? Tactical literacy, or fighting skills, or money? ”
It is clear that these young people of Tsarist Russia are already living a very difficult life. But in their eyes, they still look down on the yellow race. Taking this opportunity, they want to show their own strength, eager to get more benefits and rewards.
Seeing that Ivan didn't speak to another middle-aged man, Hu Biao also knew that in the hearts of the two, they might also want to test Hu Biao's strength. There are some things that are still difficult to convince a person by money alone, and you also need to have some strength.
Hearing Hu Biao's words, the young man of Tsarist Russia who spoke provocatively before still said with an arrogant face: "This kind of place is not suitable for testing marksmanship, if you don't mind, I want to challenge your fighting skills, do you dare?" ”
As a result, to the surprise of Ivan and the others, Hu Biao sneered: "With your identity, you are not worthy of competing with me." So be it! Let me introduce you to a person who will be my liaison and plenipotentiary in the future.
Marksmanship and tactical literacy are not convenient to compare in the concession. As you said, we're all men, so let's get real. Sun Erxi, my guard and marksmanship instructor. If you want to fight me, win against him first! ”
Accompanied by Sun Erxi, he stood up, and said with a cold and stern expression: "You, come out!" ”
"Okay! Since you're the boss, I'm going to save you some face. It's just that I'm going to hit hard, and if I hurt your subordinates, you won't be angry, right? Compared to all of you, we are all bare-handed! ”
"If you can beat him, I'll reward you with an extra thousand silver dollars. But I need to be reminded that the fighting skills I taught them are quite lethal. If you're injured, I'll pay for the medical bills! ”
From what Hu Biao said, Sun Erxi also knew that Hu Biao was angry. Since these old hairy people are not interesting, Sun Erxi also wants to clean up the other party. If you don't beat the arrogance of these people, you can't tell what kind of demon moths will come out in the future.
Judging from the height and body type, the young man of Tsarist Russia who made provocative remarks was obviously taller and stronger than Sun Erxi. In terms of experience and murderous spirit, Hu Biao believes that it is Sun Erxi who wins in the end. After all, Sun Erxi had a martial arts foundation before enlisting in the army!
Chinese martial arts, although not very well-known in the age of firearms. But in hand-to-hand combat, it can still exert a lot of power. Even in later generations, the fame of Chinese kung fu is very famous all over the world. This has been proven countless times.
As the two sides gave way to the open space in the courtyard, Sun Erxi, who retreated and clenched his fists, stared coldly at the young man of Tsarist Russia standing in front of him. For Sun Erxi, he doesn't want to give the other party too many opportunities, but wants to kill him with one blow.
Perhaps feeling the murderous aura in Sun Erxi's eyes, the provocative Tsarist young man also seemed a little hesitant. It's a pity that Sun Erxi hooked his hand and said, "Come here!" How? Don't even have the courage to do it? ”
"Look for death! Look at the punch! ”
Just when the young man of Tsarist Russia clenched his fist and was about to give a heavy punch to Sun Erxi's forehead, Sun Erxi stepped forward and leaned directly into the arms of the young man of Tsarist Russia.
Feeling that the Tsarist young man was hit by a huge force, before he could react to what was going on, Sun Erxi clenched his fists and continued to pursue closely, his clenched fists hit him hard in the chest, making the Tsarist young man bend over and scream in pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the other party to bend over, Sun Erxi opened his clenched fists, formed a cross posture and buckled the opponent's neck, and once again used his shoulders to resist the unstable Tsarist young man, and lifted the opponent directly with a force on his waist.
Looking at the Tsarist youth who was overturned by Sun Erxi and slammed on the ground, Ivan and the other Tsarist youths were also stunned. In their opinion, from Sun Erxi's shot to overthrowing the provocative Tsarist youth, time only took a blink of an eye.
The young man of Tsarist Russia, whose back was slammed on the ground, found that Sun Erxi's knee had been pressed against his neck before he could scream. The seemingly thin hands clasped around his neck again.
Sun Erxi's cold voice came from his ears again: "If you are my enemy, you are already dead!" ”
"Stop! Don't kill him! ”
Ivan, who had planned to watch the play before, and another middle-aged Tsarist Russian, also decisively shouted to stop. Seeing Sun Erxi, who was clasping the neck of the young man in Tsarist Russia with both hands, they were really worried that Sun Erxi would use his strength to break the neck of the provocative young man.
As Tsarist Russian officers who have participated in actual combat, they know very well how strong Sun Erxi's fighting strength is. Not to mention these Tsarist Russian youths who have never been on the battlefield, even if they are Tsarist veterans who have been on the battlefield, they may not be Sun Erxi's opponents.
Even his subordinates have such a strong strength, so as their commander, how can Hu Biao's strength be poor?
