Chapter 224: Intelligence
Buying more than 100 trucks at one time, such a thing is an absolute sensation in the local area, and it is impossible to hide it.
There are a large number of intelligence brokers in Menglin Town, and any kind of information can be provided for you as long as you need it. However, a large number of them are trading intermediaries, living between buyers and sellers. Provide sales channels for sellers, provide buyers with information about suppliers, facilitate transactions, and extract commissions from them.
Brother Zhong is one of them.
Li Lu's judgment is very accurate, the restaurant is just a place for him to pass the time, more often as a point. His main business is matchmaking, which doesn't hard explain his passion for strangers. With the full opening of domestic reform and opening up, he has encountered a wave of merchants from China.
Brother Zhong was originally a member of a local armed force, and later engaged in drug trafficking, and after being wounded, he changed careers and became an intermediary. His eyes are poisonous, and he can completely see that none of Li Lu's people are good at stubble, especially Xiang Ping and Wanshan, who are sitting at the same table with Li Lu, have a bloody smell all over their bodies, and one look is a murderous aura rolling in.
He knows that he can't afford to mess with such a person.
Only those who have fought are most afraid.
"In fact, this matter has spread throughout Meng Lin, and if you drag someone on the street and ask, you can give you a rough idea. The one who detained you was Shavadika of the Changbang armed forces, he was the number two person in Changbang, and there was a group of Vietnamese people under his command, all of whom were retired soldiers who had fought with the Americans back then. Do you have a man named Uncle Nine? Brother Zhong said.
Li Lu said, "Yes, Tang Jiu. ”
"That's right." Brother Zhong said in a deep voice, "Actually, my relationship with Uncle Nine is good. At that time, a few of them came here and saved my life. is kind and fair, and he has slowly gained a reputation in Meng Lin. It stands to reason that for Uncle Jiu's life-saving grace, I have no reason not to help. ”
Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly, "But, Xiao Li, I am old and young, and I have to consider the safety of my family if I don't think about myself." Shavadika is a brute, I can't afford to mess with it. ”
"Savadika, this is not a Vietnamese name." Li Lu frowned.
"He was regarded as a traitor by the Vietnamese government, and he brought a group of retired soldiers here, and in just a few years, he fought a force." The merger into Changbang was still a matter of last year. He never recognized himself as Vietnamese, and his name was changed to his current name. ”
Li Lu nodded slightly, "What is the situation with this Changbang?" ”
Brother Zhong said, "Changbang is very particular about doing things, and the division commander Li Pingchun is a descendant of the expeditionary force, and Uncle Jiu took his order at that time, and it is estimated that he is also rushing to this point." Changbang controls the area between Meng Lin, Jingdong and Meng Yang. At the beginning of last year, Li Pingchun attacked south, hoping to take over a large number of poppy fields there. Shavadika is one of those forces. He is a smart man, and he can't beat Li Pingchun with his strength. Later, it was negotiated and merged into Changbang. ”
After a pause, Brother Zhong said, "The more than 100 trucks that Li Pingchun asked for will definitely be used for the next large-scale military operation." Shavadika can't detain so many cars, but he detains your people and Li Pingchun's gold. So, Xiao Li, even if you don't care about this matter, Li Pingchun will not let go of Shavadika. Li Pingchun's troops have already opened fire on the Shavadika forces. ”
Li Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, "In other words, Shavadika and Li Pingchun have broken up." Why did he choose to break up at this time? Looking for another backer? ”
Shaking his head, Brother Zhong said, "I don't know the specific situation. I'm just a middleman, I can find out the buying and selling information, what kind of backer Shavadika has found, I don't know this. ”
Nodding slightly, Li Lu believed that he was telling the truth, and he asked, "Shavadika is terrifying?" ”
Brother Zhong sighed and said, "He's scary not because of how many people he has. To tell the truth, his troops are less than 500 people, and the only ones who can fight are the more than 30 Vietnamese veterans, and those monkeys have beaten the Yankees, and in this place in the Golden Triangle, they are like fish in water like they have gone home. The point is that these people don't have any bottom line in doing things, if you provoke him, he will stare at you and kill your whole family. Some time ago, there was a middleman on Meng Lin's side who didn't know how to offend them, they ignored Meng Lin's peace agreement, and brought troops in to kill the old and young of the family, and the corpses were still hanging on the east side of the city. ”
Li Lu recalled the horrific corpses he saw when he entered the city, and understood what was going on.
"Alas, there will be no armed conflict in the town of Menglin. Everyone has interests here, and it is an important cargo distribution center. It's not good for anyone to mess up here. Therefore, there is an agreement between the parties, that is, no one will send troops into Menglin. The armed men you see outside are mercenaries hired by all parties to maintain law and order in Menglin Town, always remain neutral, and only take care of the affairs in Menglin City. Brother Zhong explained.
Nodding slowly, Li Lu said, "I see." In this way, Shavadika is a thorn in the side of the local armed forces, he has destroyed the stability of Menglin City, and presumably all parties will give him some color. ”
"Of course, but now except for Li Pingchun, no one else can afford to mess with Shavadika. If you can't beat it, it's a situation where you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. Everyone is pregnant with a ghost in their hearts, and they are worried that the loss will be too heavy and someone else will take the opportunity to swallow the territory. Brother Zhong said.
Li Lu smiled slightly, "This Shavadika is still a bit of a brain. ”
After dusting off his cigarettes, Li Lu asked, "Do you know where the hostages are kept?" ”
"I don't know." Brother Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Li, don't get your hopes up. With Shavadika's character, the gold is in hand, and he generally does not keep hostages. Unless he has some other purpose. ”
Li Lu was ruthless in his heart, and his appearance was calm, "Where is Shavadika, can you give me information?" ”
Brother Zhong shook his head, "I can't give it, it's not that I don't want to, but I really don't know." ”
"What about Shavadika's intelligence point in Menglin?" Li Lu stared at Brother Zhong and asked.
Brother Zhong stopped talking for a while.
Li Ludao, "According to what you said, Shawadika obviously knows everything about Meng Lin's situation, and I don't believe it if there is no intelligence point. Brother Zhong, don't worry, I won't give Shavadika a chance to retaliate against you. ”
Obviously, Brother Zhong didn't believe it.
After a period of ideological struggle, Brother Zhong sighed and said, "I have the right to repay Uncle Jiu's kindness." Menglin Style Street, Victoria Nightclub, small scale, good business, easy to find. I'm going to get ready to get out of here, too. ”
Li Lu took out a stack of money from his pocket and put it on the table, with more than three thousand dollars, and got up to leave.
Leaving the restaurant, Li walked straight forward, and the others followed one after another, forming a tacit formation and walking along the edge of the street.
Xiang Ping and Li Lu walked side by side, and Li Lu asked, "How credible do you think his words are?" ”
"Half and half." Xiang Ping pondered and said, "Didn't the Central Dispatch Department promise to help, they won't change their hexagrams, right?" ”
Li Lu sighed deeply and said, "People from the official family, it's best not to contact if you can." It would be best if the intelligence officers on their side could provide critical information. However, more than three hours have passed since the agreed time to meet, and things may have changed. ”
"Squad leader, I don't think you can rush to the Victoria Secret nightclub, if the owner of the restaurant is from Shawadika's side, then this is the Hongmen Banquet." Xiang Pingdao.
Li Lu smiled, stopped, and looked at the time, "That's right, so, you should kill the horse pistol at this time." ”
Xiang Ping suddenly smiled, "I'll go with Lao Wan." ”
He greeted Wan Shan, and the two quickly returned to the restaurant......
