Chapter 219: The Importance of Channels
Listening to the sound of explosions in the distance, Hu Biao and his entourage, who were staying in the small courtyard by the river, also knew that the Japanese army had discovered that the intelligence station had been terminated. Next, it is not surprising that the Japanese army's special high school and the lackeys it bought are bound to spread their eyeliner in the concession.
After summoning Wang Mincheng alone to explain the matter, Hu Biao asked Xu Sandao and others to leave ahead of schedule. When Wang Mincheng led people into the courtyard, he quickly arrested the captured Li Shiqun. For traitors, the military commanders will naturally not be spared.
The agents who were rescued from the cage were also surprised to see Wang Mincheng who came to answer: "Section Chief Wang, where is Team Zhao?" β
"He had a step ahead! You've done a great job! Come back to the concession with me first, and then take care of your body first. About Captain Zhao and his entourage, don't say anything. Let the little devils know that they will be in trouble too. β
"Understood! I thought I would like to say thank you! β
"It's all my own brothers, why thank you! He came here on the orders of the bureau, and the little devil has a headache next! If you really want to thank you, then hurry up and take care of your body, we have suffered a lot of losses recently! β
"Who's to say it isn't! It's all this dog thief, and when I go back, I will definitely pick him up alive! β
Most of these arrested agents were captured alive by Li Shiqun with little devils. In the past few days in the torture room, they have all been subjected to Li Shiqun's infusion and forced confessions. It can be said that the rescued agents can't wait to swallow Li Shiqun alive.
But they all knew that Li Shiqun couldn't die for the time being. The punishment they received earlier will also be tasted by Li Shiqun next. has been a dog leg for the little devil for so long, and Li Shiqun thinks that he also has a lot of information about the little devil.
The two team members who stayed to see him off, when Wang Mincheng was about to say goodbye, said in a slight voice: "Section Chief Wang, our captain asked me to tell you that there are ghosts around you." I don't know who it is, so I must check it out when I go back. β
"What? How is this possible? β
"When we raided the agent station earlier, Li Shiqun happened to call a meeting of his subordinates. At the meeting, among the traitors we killed, someone reported to Li Shiqun about your meeting with our captain, but he didn't know much about the situation. β
After listening to the words of the team members, Wang Mincheng was naturally extremely angry in his heart, but he still said very calmly on his face: "Okay, I know!" I'll say sorry to your captain on my behalf, and we'll get back in touch when we're done with this matter. β
"Okay, go slowly! Take care! β
Looking at Wang Mincheng and his entourage who disappeared into the night, Hu Biao looked at the people around him: "Don't you really meet them?" β
"Forget it! In the future, please ask Captain Zhao to take care of it more, I'm afraid I can't stay in Shanghai! β
Liu Shixing, whose identity was revealed by Hu Biao earlier, did not leave with Wang Mincheng and his party this time. When he was escorted to the small courtyard, Liu Shixing also knew his true identity, and it was Wang Mincheng who told Hu Biao.
For him, the days lurking by Li Shiqun's side were worrying every day. Even if he has the heart to serve the country, there are not many people in the military command who know his true identity. And he is also the target of the assassination of the military commander.
On the way back, Liu Shixing proposed to Hu Biao, hoping that he would tell Wang Mincheng that he had sacrificed and planned to leave the military command incognito. For such a request, Hu Biao finally refused.
But Hu Biao still said: "In such a world, it is not easy to live incognito." If you're really tired of living like this, why don't you come with me? You can take on such a heavy responsibility, and I think your ability to find out information is not bad.
Anyway, if you want to get out of here, then come with me later, and I'll find you something to do when the time comes. Rest assured, I won't let you go to the battlefield to fight with the little devils. If you really don't want to do something like this again, then be an instructor for my subordinates! β
Listening to what Hu Biao said, Liu Shixing was also very surprised: "Aren't you sent by the bureau?" β
"I'm just working with you Director Dai! This time I went back to Shanghai, and I just helped you solve a little trouble by the way. As for my true identity, you'll know when you get out of the city and get there. With me to protect you, Dai Li doesn't dare to do anything to you! β
After receiving Hu Biao's promise, Liu Shixing, who really didn't want to stay in Shanghai, finally decided to leave with Hu Biao. Even if the contact time is not long, Liu Shixing can see to some extent that Hu Biao and his party are all elites.
Seeing off Wang Mincheng and his entourage, Hu Biao quickly called Xu Sandao and said, "Settle down Lao Liu, don't live in this courtyard for the time being." Tomorrow, we will recruit a family on the street and let them live in and take care of the home for us.
Anyway, we rarely come back to live, and in the future, this yard will be used as a safe house, and we will come back when we need it. Arrange a few lurking posts to keep watch around and see what happens tonight. If anyone spouts, arrest them.
The rest of the people will return to the safe house to rest, and if I have an order, I will send someone to inform them later. Tomorrow, send someone out of the city to meet with Lao Qin and them, and let them enter the city tomorrow night. When the time comes, I'll have my own assignments! β
"Yes, Captain!"
"Okay! Let's disperse! If there's anything, I'll talk about it when I wake up. Once you're in a safe house, remember to be cautious! β
"Understood!"
The so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, Hu Biao, who returned to the city this time, intended to buy a few more courtyards as a secret stronghold to hide in the future. In their absence, they let those who had been hired back live in them, and they were able to settle some of the war-torn people.
Even if the safe houses are exposed, when others plan to keep an eye on them, they will find that there is no suspicion in these safe houses at all. The reason is that Hu Biao rarely uses these safe houses. After staring for a long time, I believe that the suspicion of these safe houses will also be lifted.
Although the houses in the concession are very expensive, sometimes there are frequent transactions. Most of the houses purchased by Hu Biao are relatively old houses, and the geographical location is relatively complicated. If there is a real situation, it is also convenient to get out and evacuate.
The purchase of these safe houses in advance is more to prepare for the rescue of comrades in the lonely army camp in the future. Hundreds of people moved into safe houses in batches, and then tried to evacuate the city in batches, believing that they could also reduce the losses of the lone army camp.
After separating from Xu Sandao and others, Hu Biao took Tian Tiezhu and others again to avoid the sentinels in the American Concession and return safely to the villa he rented. As soon as I entered the house, I heard someone say, "Who is it?" β
"Uncle Fu, it's us! Didn't you sleep? β
"Young Master, are you out? I slept lightly and woke up early! β
"It's okay! You go ahead and rest! Remember, we didn't go out last night, you know? After daybreak, if Mr. Brooke comes, you will entertain me. I'll go upstairs to rest first, you don't have to be too nervous, it's safe here! β
"Yes, young master, I know! Then you rest early! β
After going upstairs, looking at Tian Tiezhu and the others beside him, Hu Biao also said seriously: "See, right?" We were able to avoid those foreign soldiers in the concession, but we still woke up Uncle Fu. This shows that your training is not in place, and you will need to strengthen your training in the future! β
"Yes, Captain!"
"That's it! Toss around all night and go rest! No need to arrange any security posts! Rest well, there will be something tomorrow! β
After taking the opportunity to knock on these subordinates, Hu Biao also went back to the room to rest. Even if there is not a long time left before the dawn, Hu Biao also knows that being able to sleep for a few hours can also effectively alleviate the situation of sleepiness.
When I woke up the next day, it was already dark outside. When I washed up and went downstairs, I saw Du Youfu's grandson and granddaughter playing in the yard. Seeing Hu Biao coming downstairs, Du Youfu also hurriedly said, "Young master, you're awake!" Do you want to have breakfast? β
"Trouble! What about the pillars of them? β
"They don't seem to be up yet! It's going to be early! β
Hu Biao, who heard this, also knew that Tian Tiezhu and the others were all young, but in terms of alertness, they were still not as high as him. Plus I tossed all night last night, and it's normal to still sleep at this time. Hu Biao didn't say much about this.
Taking advantage of the fact that Tian Tiezhu and the others had not yet gotten up, Hu Biao went to the cellar and put all the things stored in the cellar into the storage space. In the next two days, Bruker will continue to ship the medicines and goods that Hu Biao entrusted him to buy.
In fact, many people, including Brooke and his party, were curious about how Hu Biao transported these materials strictly controlled by the Japanese army out of the city. But this kind of observation is destined to end in disappointment.
Fortunately, Brooke also knew that this was a secret and did not send anyone to monitor the villa where Hu Biao lived. For Brooke, Hu Biao is his God of Wealth. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bruker bought other people's unsalable drugs at a low price!
Although these drugs can also be sold in Shanghai, not many people can actually use this Western medicine. Sell in small quantities, and if you want to sell out the medicines collected by foreign merchants, I don't know when I will wait!
At present, Brookken eats the drugs in their hands at one time, and gives a certain profit margin, and these pharmacists are naturally willing to trade. Even if the profit decreased, the capital eventually came back, and even made a small profit.
With these deals, Brooke became more and more important among the foreign merchants in the concession. Many pharmacists who are afraid of drugs smashing their hands even take the initiative to contact Bruker, hoping to sell drugs to Bruker. In this regard, Brooke naturally did not refuse.
Although these pharmacists are inquiring about Brooke's sales channels, how can Brooke tell others about this kind of thing? If it can monopolize the drug trade, then Bruker will definitely make a lot of money. How can you share the opportunity to make money with others!
Besides, Brooke's uncle, who was a military attachΓ©, also solemnly confessed: "Brooke, if your friend really has a sales channel and can avoid the search of the Japanese army, then you must make a good friend of this person, you know?" β
For these foreigners who come to China, profit is what they are pursuing. As an industrial power, the United States also hopes to expand its commercial trade in China. And Hu Biao bought two batches of American-made arms before and after, which also made Bill, as a military attachΓ©, feel moved.
If Hu Biao can open up arms sales channels, Bill believes that the government and the military will pay attention to and reward them. If we can really let the national government procure a large number of American-made ordnance, we can also support many domestic military enterprises with this kind of business!
