Xiaobao traveled south three days after the wagons of the train carrying the grain were shipped. The reason for this is that train wagons are much slower than passengers. After arriving at Yingkou, it will be loaded onto the ship. There will be a lot of delays. Two nights before leaving, Schidelsky's butler Shilyukov quietly came to Xiaobao's house and handed him a thick letter.

Xiaobao thought that he had already postponed his departure for three days, and now he should start preparing to pull anchor and set sail, right? But Xiaobao rushed to the dock to see that less than one-fifth of the 500 tons of grain had been transported to the Haiwei!

As soon as Xiaobao inquired, he found out that it had been more than a day since the grain had been transported to the dock, but the people on the Haiwei were lazy and didn't work!

The captain of the ship, Captain Yoshio Kawada, is now staying in Yingkou Castle to soak mushrooms. Xiaobao only found the first mate Zhou Zhenbang.

Half of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force was made up of Japanese reserve officers and soldiers, and the other half were Manchukuo officers and soldiers.

Originally, the quality of the Japanese reservists was poor, and when they were mixed with the Manchukuo soldiers, they slowly became a nest of snakes and rats.

Zhou Zhenbang straightened his waist when he saw Xiaobao and asked Xiaobao to see his lieutenant rank more clearly.

Xiaobao opened his mouth as if he didn't see it: "Dozens of tons of grain were transported to the ship in more than a day, it seems that some people don't want to pay and want to go to prison, right?" ”

"Brother, it's not that we don't work, but we really have difficulties." Zhou Zhenbang put on a bitter gourd face and said.

"There are a total of 50 people on this ship, some wives give birth to children and ask for leave to go home to serve the confinement child, and some old women die to keep filial piety, right? There were also seven or eight running stomachs. I can't do it! Zhou Zhenbang explained with a hippie smile.

The words made Xiao Bao laugh angrily.

"The last time I went to Shanghai, it was you who sat on the Sea King. Those guys wanted to go crazy if they wanted to get rich, and they pulled a boatload of cabbage and green onions to Shanghai. But no matter how good they are, they are better than you grinders. Xiaobao said.

"And this kind of thing! Did they make a fortune in Shanghai? Zhou Zhenbang asked with wide eyes.

"What the South lacks is food! Why else would the Kwantung Army delegation take food as a gift? But they shouldn't have lost money by selling those vegetables. Xiaobao replied uncertainly.

Zhou Zhenbang's body did not move, and his eyes were gurgling. After a while, he actually left Xiaobao and ran to the boat alone.

Twenty minutes later, more than forty people emerged from the cabin. The people were divided into two groups, and about 30 people sorted out the gangplank, and then began to carry the bags of grain piled up on the dock to the ship Highway.

Xiaobao looked at these men who took off their shirts and exposed their shirts and green muscles as if they had changed from pigs who could only hum on their stomachs to hard-working old scalpers.

Zhou Zhenbang left the dock with a dozen other people and left.

Xiaobao seemed to have an understanding, but he didn't say anything more, and he kicked the Shanghai Wei by himself. Standing on the deck, watching the food on the docks slowly dwindle.

The Seaway was eliminated from the destroyers of the Japanese Navy and transferred to the Manchukuo Army. The hull is eighty meters long and eight or nine hundred tons. It was easy to load 500 tons of grain.

More than two hours later, Xiaobao stood on the warship and saw a long line of carriages coming in the direction of the port.

More than 30 soldiers who were carrying food also saw it and let out a burst of cheers.

But the more Xiaobao looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong. He originally thought that under his order, Zhou Zhenbang would be able to transport some grain and make some extra money. But now it looks like the things on the carriage don't look like grain. Each carriage was loaded with dozens of covered baskets more than half a meter high.

What's in this basket? These things won't cause trouble when they are shipped to Shanghai, right?

Xiaobao was thinking about it, and Zhou Zhenbang commanded two soldiers to carry a large basket to the deck.

"Brother come and eat apples! We don't have anything else here but apples! Zhou Zhenbang shouted to Xiaobao.

From the Liaoning Peninsula along the Bohai Bay to Jinzhou, apples have always been produced. Xiaobao had heard people say it before, but today he never thought that these guys would rely on this to make extra money.

"Okay, Brother Zhou. I thought you were pulling grain. I didn't expect you to make a fortune on this. Xiaobao said as he bit down on the apple.

"Life in the world, the word wealth! I borrowed these apples from a couple of bosses from Gaizhou County. Tell me okay, come back and give them the money. Zhou Zhenbang said proudly.

"After arriving in Shanghai, don't be in a hurry if you don't know the place. Shanghai is not the territory of the Kwantung Army, and it is easy to be bullied. If you can trust me, I'll help you find a good buyer when the time comes. Xiaobao said to Zhou Zhenbang.

"Okay, these thousands of pounds of apples depend on you, brother." Zhou Zhenbang clenched his fists and said.

The soldiers of the whole ship saw that there was oil and water to be fished out of this mission, and they worked very hard. Five hundred tons of grain, plus a few thousand pounds of apples, were loaded onto the ship a few hours later.

Xiaobao has gone to Shanghai this time for the third time. Naturally, it is familiar with the road. Didn't vomit like the first time I went.

Captain Yoshio Kawada arrived a little later. He also did not have the majesty of ordinary Japanese officers, and after getting on the boat, he looked at the old stacked apple baskets and just smiled with Zhou Zhenbang after looking at each other. Then greeted Xiaobao warmly.

The main purpose of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force when it was established was to blockade the sea surface around the Liaoning Peninsula and cut off the sea transportation lines of the Anti-Japanese Volunteers and later the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Eight or nine years have passed, and this task has gradually relaxed. The Japanese in the police force, like the Manchurians, settled down near the station and lived a small life. The psychology has gradually relaxed, and besides, they are only reservists after all, and the Kwantung Army on active duty is not the same after all.

Some of the craftsmen who used to be engaged in small business and craftsmen before they became soldiers in Japan actually secretly began to return to their old jobs.

The Haiwei sailed for Shanghai at the most economical speed of fifteen knots. A day and a half later, it appeared outside the Bund in Shanghai.

Xiaobao found Zhou Zhenbang and told him that he had acquaintances at Shanghai Tan Pier. Let them unload a few thousand pounds of apples on the dock first, and send a few soldiers on the ship to watch and nothing will happen.

Then Xiaobao wanted to find the intelligence team of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department in Shanghai and ask them to contact Shanghai to send troops to unload the ship.

If the Japanese army in Shanghai saw that there were hundreds of baskets of apples on the warship in addition to grain, it would not look good.

Zhou Zhenbang agreed.

"Why don't you report to Captain Yoshio Kawada?" Xiaobao asked.

"No, he just pretended he didn't know anything. When the time comes, he will just take a large share of the benefits. Zhou Zhenbang said.

The last time Xiaobao and Ulyanova went to Shanghai, they met Jin Shoushan, the eldest brother of the Green Gang. Shanghai's wharf, Jin Shoushan, speaks in a word.

Xiaobao went down to the dock and carried out the name of Jin Shoushan, and the disciples and grandchildren of Jin Shoushan immediately went back to report to Jin Ye, and then asked the workers on the dock to unload a basket of apples into the dock warehouse. And Xiaobao went to the secret intelligence station of the Kwantung Army on Xiafei Road in the French Concession alone.
