He Zifeng seemed to be slow and reasonable, and he said unhurriedly: "The current Shanghai Concession is the only piece of paradise in China, and people die every day outside, but the people in the concession are singing, dancing and dancing, and the concession has become the center of struggle for all parties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of his head: "As we speak, I don't know how many radio waves are shuttling through the sky, and each radio wave has its economic value, do you think I'm right?" ”

Henry exchanged glances with the other two, and neither of them could judge what He Zifeng's purpose was in saying this.

"I'm sorry, I seem to be a little drunk." He Zifeng smiled: "I don't know if you have seen the hot scene of the arms black market, as far as I know, in the Chinese market alone, the number of orders has reached an astronomical number, are you really not impressed?" ”

"I know what you're worried about, but don't forget, my Green Gang is a big gang with more than 3,000 people, do you know what that means? It means that as long as I want, the black arms market in Europe and the United States can provide 3,000 arms and equipment to the Green Gang, and make a huge profit from me, and what I pay them is gold! ”

"Boss He, you plan to equip the entire Green Gang?!" The three of them couldn't sit still anymore, they jumped up from their chairs suddenly, no matter who they were, they didn't want to see the Green Gang develop the hardware so strongly.

"That's right!" He Zifeng's drunken eyes were hazy: "Are you very worried?" Even a little scared? But let me tell you, even if I don't equip it, sooner or later, the Japanese will step into the concession, whether it is more than 3,000 people to escort it, or rely on the weak troops of the concession to resist, it is up to you, I know that Mr. Richard kept sending telegrams to China some time ago, hoping that the country could increase the number of troops, but is it possible? Germany won't agree, will it? ”

Richard's face turned blue, and Henry and George's faces were not good-looking.

In the treaty signed in Munich last September, several countries forcibly ceded the Sudetenland to Germany in the absence of the Czech representatives, and this not only encouraged Germany's arrogance, but also had a very negative effect on European countries.

And this year, the news came that the Soviet Union no longer trusted Britain and France, and they began to contact Germany to secure their own interests, which led to a significant reduction in the strength of the alliance between the two countries.

"In the current form, Europe is not very peaceful, even if you return to China now, you may face a war, that is, if you don't face it directly, you may also be involved, on the other hand, China, now and Japan has entered a stage of strategic stalemate, China has resisted the first wave of attack, Japan has not been able to completely occupy this huge country in one go, so next, it is the time for the two countries to fight the old bottom, China is a local war, and Japan is a cross-border war, what do you say will be the consequences?"

"The situation is not clear now, and Japan still has a big advantage." Henry pouted.

He Zifeng shot back: "But you have to know that Japan's resources are being consumed much faster than China's. ”

Henry was speechless, George and Richard stopped talking, He Zifeng stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "Actually, I think that now is not the time for you to think about your own country, but the time to consider your own interests, as long as you can dredge the entire black market in Europe and the United States, and use the lowest price to let arms and strategic resources continue to be transported in, I dare to guarantee that both China and Japan will pounce directly like bees, and I will not earn any fees, the dock is open all day, my request is very simple, equip the Green Gang!" ”

"Of course, I can make a promise to you that the Green Gang will only safeguard the interests of the concession and help resist the Japanese, and will never have any adverse intentions against the concession."

"Wait!" Richard couldn't sit still any longer, he asked He Zifeng urgently: "I want to tell you something, this matter is not as simple as you imagined, and the three of us need to discuss it before we can give you an answer." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, you know, even if the Green Gang buys directly from the black market, it has the ability to equip the entire gang, by the way, I'm going to go downstairs to have a look, today I prepared authentic game for you, I have to order the kitchen."

Watching He Zifeng leave the room, Richard turned his head to look at the other two, and his tone revealed heaviness: "We all underestimate He Zifeng, this person has a very accurate control of the international situation." ”

"That's why he rose so fast." George smiled bitterly: "I have to admit that he said a lot before, we came to China just for our interests, and the arms are indeed more profitable than big smoke." ”

"Actually, smoke and munitions are not the most important thing to me." Henry straightened his suit: "My country is now far from the war, and it is also very close to the Chongqing government, providing a lot of weapons, and the big smoke, now the Chinese hate it, He Zifeng said it makes sense, if the Chinese win this war, we will be scolded by the Chinese, but if Japan wins, we can't stay, so we can't do big smoke, or less big smoke, but should focus on how to earn profits from both China and Japan." ”

"You're right, that's the only way, but whoever wins, we can all stand on our feet, because they need us." George nodded heavily, and suddenly jumped up again: "But the Japanese are really too hateful, they actually instructed Fu Xiao'an to send someone to assassinate my people, their claws have already stretched out to the public concession, I can't bear this!" ”

Henry's face was also not good-looking: "The Japanese just see that we are too concessional to make such an inch!" ”

"If we let them go on like this, our interests will suffer." George shouted: "So He Zifeng's proposal made me very action, the streets are full of people from the Green Gang, as long as they can make a move, our safety will be much improved." ”

"But this will allow the Green Gang to do whatever they want in the concession."

Richard raised his eyes to look at George, who shook his arm: "I got the old man, what do you want money when your life is gone?" Today is the Public Concession, tomorrow it will be your turn to the French Concession, think about it! ”

The three of them fell silent again, and after a long time, George said slowly: "I have thought about it, I agree to cooperate with He Zifeng, I will contact the arms boss of the black market and let some of the arms, Henry, even if you don't agree, I will do it." ”

"I didn't say I disagreed, there was no criticism of the arms deal, there was a big smoke."

Richard looked at the two of them, and finally said with a wry smile: "If I don't get involved, then the French Concession may really become a target for the Japanese." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes, and they had to make a choice driven by the situation.

In March 1939, Shanghai, which belonged to the era of He Zifeng, came.
