Chu Jiao was a little puzzled and asked, "What if we did it?" You asked me to meet, didn't you want to confirm it? ”

Ma Mingyu looked at Chu Jiao and said with some hesitation: "That master, if you know him, we want to ask him to get rid of two targets." ”

"Which two goals?" Chu Jiao asked curiously, "You have so many people, can't you handle it?" ”

Ma Mingyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a matter of a small number of people, to be honest, the agents in the organization are not very satisfactory in terms of skills." Well, let me tell you, there are still a few goals that must be eliminated in Shanghai. The two most important ones are Fu You'an and Zhang Xiaolin. Despite repeated efforts, no success has been achieved. ”

Oh! Chu Jiao nodded, not showing a special expression.

There are more traitors, such as Li Shijun, Ding Mocun, Ma Xiaotian and others, they should also be killed. The two people Ma Mingyu talked about, in her opinion, are nothing special.

"I'm relieved to see that you're not interested." Ma Mingyu seemed to relax and said, "I thought that Miss Chu would be eager to try it after knowing the goal!" ”

"Why did I want to try?" Chu Jiao was stunned for a moment and said, "These two traitors are famous enough, but they can't get oil and water!" ”

Ma Mingyu was a little surprised and asked, "What do you want so much money for?" ”

Chu Jiao pursed her mouth, groaned for a while, and said: "If you have money to do good deeds, it can be regarded as a real merit to starve a few compatriots to death." ”

Ma Mingyu nodded and said, "You have your way, I don't get to the bottom of it." It's just that I want to remind you to be careful. Although the concession can play a protective role, it is a clear fact that the enemy has an advantage in all aspects. They are using kidnapping to arrest suspects instead of going through the concession authorities normally. ”

"It's more in the French Concession, isn't it?" Chu Jiao said: "Didn't I say that you should be transferred to the public concession? ”

"There are many strongholds in the French Concession, and it took a lot of effort to gain a firm foothold, so the spies naturally focus on the French Concession." Ma Mingyu didn't pay too much attention to Chu Jiao's suggestion, and also had his own reasons, "What's more, the Public Concession has reached an agreement with the Japanese to arrest emergency regulations for the extradition of prisoners, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

On March 3, 1939, under the pretext of the assassination of traitors Chen Zheng and Li Guojie, and the attack on the Gongda Textile Factory, the Japanese put pressure on the Ministry of Industry and finally reluctantly reached an agreement.

The agreement has five points, including increasing the number of Japanese patrols and police officers, and strictly investigating and prosecuting suspicious elements who have entered the concession. Among them, the most unfavorable for those who oppose Japan is the arrest and extradition of criminals.

Judging from the situation at that time, it was also a helpless move for the Ministry of Industry and Bureau to compromise on the premise of not harming its fundamental interests.

At the very least, when it came to suppressing anti-Japanese elements, the Japanese military police and police could not act alone, but had to cooperate with the patrol house.

Ma Mingyu's reasons are not only these, he also told Chu Jiao, "In more than three months, it will be the election of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and the Japanese are likely to occupy the majority of the board of directors, so as to reorganize the Ministry of Industry Bureau and make the public concession become a Japanese concession." ”

Chu Jiao was stunned by this, and frowned: "This is unlikely, right?" The Bureau of Industry has always been a British and American monopoly, how can the Japanese occupy the majority? ”

"The board of directors of the Ministry of Industry is nine-member, five in the United Kingdom, two in the United States and two in Japan." Ma Mingyu patiently explained: "After the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the number of Japanese has doubled, and there are signs that the number of people who have the right to vote in the concession has exceeded that of the British. Is this possible, you say? ”

Chu Jiao tilted her head and habitually turned a strand of hair next to her ear with her index finger, Ma Mingyu was well-founded, but she didn't know much. Even though I knew that this kind of thing didn't happen, it was not convincing.

"It can be seen that Miss Chu doesn't believe it, and she doesn't take it seriously." Ma Mingyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look at the development of the situation, it doesn't hurt to be mentally prepared. ”

Chu Jiao smiled and said, "I don't need any psychological preparation." If the Japanese want to control the Ministry of Industry, it is absolutely impossible. I'm so confident, I don't believe you bet with me! ”

"Hehe, I don't bet with you." Ma Mingyu smiled and shook his head, "I didn't say that I would die, I just said that it was very likely." ”

Chu Jiao was not reluctant, and said: "If you don't gamble, don't gamble, you don't look like you're rich." Well, there's a little thing I want you to help with and help with a couple of Japanese police or gendarme uniforms. It shouldn't be difficult, right? ”

"You, no, it's you, what do you want to do?" Ma Mingyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Thinking of the Japanese-occupied area operation, this is not good, the risk is too great." ”

Chu Jiao looked at Ma Mingyu and frowned: "If you don't help, forget it, let's think of another way." ”

Ma Mingyu thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll help you, it's less risky than you looking for someone blindly." ”

Chu Jiao smiled and stretched out her hand and nodded Ma Mingyu, "That's right!" As a token of appreciation, I invite you to dinner, and you can choose any restaurant. ”

Ma Mingyu really wanted to dine with Chu Jiao, but he shook his head and refused after a little groaning, and said, "For safety, you still don't show up in public with me." You didn't expose it, but I know a lot of people. Even if it is a comrade-in-arms now, what will happen in the future is a bad thing to say. ”

Chu Jiao nodded and said, "It's okay." When you give me your uniform, I'll give you a gift, right? ”

"Thank you in advance!" Ma Mingyu looked at Chu Jiao and said with a smile: "After all, I didn't teach you in vain, and I still know how to respect teachers." ”

Chu Jiao pursed her lips slightly, as if she didn't agree that she was out of respect.

……………

"Theoretically, the country with the most votes can monopolize the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry." Shen Chen answered Chu Jiao's question while measuring the mechanism, "But this is only theoretically feasible, the British are politically cunning and sophisticated, but they will make the hopes of the Japanese disappointed." ”

Chu Jiao nodded and said, "Since the Japanese will not succeed, I don't care how cunning and sophisticated the British are." With that, she followed Shen Chen's instructions and stepped forward to help.

The Type 38 cavalry rifle has long been cut into two sections, somewhat similar to the disassembled rifle made by Japan for paratroopers in the later part of the war, the Type 2 small gun.

As for installing the scope on the rifle, Shen Chen had also done some research in advance and had some ideas.

The first is to remove the butt and replace it with a folded metal butt to reduce weight and make it easier to carry.

The second is to lengthen the handle and bend it downwards to reduce the interference between the handle and the scope during operation.

These two tasks are relatively easy, and the most complicated is to make the bracket of the scope, attach the scope to the gun, and make it work.

The first two tasks can be done separately, Shen Chen is first difficult and then easy, cutting and polishing the stainless steel sheet, making a bracket, drilling a suitable eye, and connecting it with a screw and a scope.

He then milled a guide groove in the frame of the rifle and attached the carriage to the gun. Of course, it is not fixed all at once, but with a tool that is temporarily clamped to the gun, removed and put on, and the sight is repeatedly adjusted so that the scope is consistent with the firing baseline of the gun.

Fortunately, imported from Germany is a high-quality scope manufactured by Carl Zeiss, which not only has a fixed reticle, but also has the function of height adjustment, which saves a lot of things.

After working for almost two hours, Shen Chen was able to fix the scope. Although the pull handle has not yet been transformed, it is just that it may interfere and is not very convenient.

"Hide the gun first, and continue to work tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" Shen Chen wanted to finish it in one go, but found that the things he had prepared were not complete.

Chu Jiao held this half-finished but already used new weapon, aimed on her shoulder, and the feeling of sudden enlargement and clarity of her field of vision made her feel both fresh and excited.

"Once this thing is installed, everyone can become a sharpshooter." Chu Jiao aimed left and right, and tried to pull the bolt.

Shen Chen snorted and said, "Then you're wrong." Do you think sniping is as simple as that, aim the reticle of the scope at the target, and you're done with a button? ”

"It's just that to describe it, you're more serious." Chu Jiao stretched out her hand and tried to adjust the scope, and asked, "By the way, how many times is this?" ”

"For the first installation, I used four times as much." Shen Chen said: "There is another six-fold one, and I will install it when the craftsmanship is perfect." ”

Chu Jiao looked at Shen Chen and asked uncertainly, "The higher the multiplier, the clearer you can see, and the more accurate you are, right?" Is there a tenfold, twenty-fold? ”

Shen Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "The scope used for sniping is not the larger the multiple, the better, the larger the multiple, the narrower the field of vision, not only the eyes are easy to get tired, but also easy to miss the fighter." ”

"What is the best multiple?" Chu Jiao put down the sniper rifle and asked, "It can't be four times as much, right?" ”

"The most commonly used is indeed a quadruple scope, and a sixx is also good." Shen Chen said: "When the butt and pull handle are done, you can test the gun, and the scope may have to be adjusted." ”

Chu Jiao nodded and said, "Then what do you think I can improve with this gun?" ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment and said, "If it is four times, I estimate it to be three hundred meters; If it is six times, it may be able to reach four or five hundred meters! ”

Shen Chen said more vaguely, if it is more accurately described, it should be a 300-meter head target and a 400-meter chest target; Six times as farther, maybe even seven or eight hundred meters.

As for why I said it next, firstly, I did not let Chu Jiao have too much pressure, and secondly, I also had reservations about the modified sniper rifle.

At that time, strictly speaking, there were no special sniper rifles in all countries in the world, and they all selected standard rifles with good quality and high accuracy. Moreover, there are no special bullets for snipers.

Therefore, the weapon is important, and the level of the sniper is even more deciding. With the same weapon, Shen Chen was a cut above Chu Jiao.

Of course, Shen Chen's constantly improving eyesight and physical fitness made him feel that it was not very necessary to use a scope.

Three hundred meters, four or five hundred meters, this is already a considerable distance to Chu Jiao's ears, almost a mile, and it is only the size of a palm to look at people, right?

"When the gun is loaded, I'm proficient, let's kill that Fu Youan and Zhang Xiaolin!" Chu Jiao seems to have a gun in hand and a feeling of being invincible in the world, and this time she is really eager to try.

Shen Chen rolled his eyes and said, "When you're almost done, let's talk about it!" ”

Whether to help Ma Mingyu or not, Shen Chen has reservations. Because, with the first time, there will be a second time, and through Chu Jiao, sooner or later he will expose himself.

Looking at those people in the military command, the level is poor enough, and the will is weak enough, Shen Chen really doesn't dare to involve them too much.

The two cleaned up, and Shen Chen returned to the patrol room through the door on the second floor, and after a little inspection, he drove home.

As soon as Wu Shibao died, it had a great impact on No. 76, and around the position of the captain of the guard, Ding and Li had to fight again. So, it's been a lot of subsidence in the past few days.

Xu Huaiyi's gang has expanded a lot, and it has become more informed, which has reduced a lot of danger for Shen Chen. To say that Xu Huaiyi is also a very smart guy, he took advantage of the opportunity to distribute steamed buns for free and recruited a large number of helpers.

Don't look at these gangs, there are all kinds of people, such as rickshaw drivers, coolies, beggars, etc. But the more this is the case, the more pervasive it seems.

Shen Chen knew about this and didn't stop it. Although it was not Xu Huaiyi's money, he did his best. What's more, the expansion of the gang, for the time being, is also beneficial to him.

Driving on the road, Shen Chen looked at the table below, it was just a little past six o'clock. In order to transform the guns, Chu Jiao deliberately gave the workers early off work today.

Remembering that he hadn't visited his sister and others for a while, Shen Chen turned the steering wheel and turned around.

On the way, he got out of the car again, bought food at a restaurant near Shikumen, drove the car to the back door, and opened the chain with the key with ease, and entered the house.

Yujuan and the others were eating in the dining room, and when they saw their brother coming, they were pleasantly surprised.

Erzhu and Ah Xiu were arranged by Shen Chen to go to Chu Jiao's old car repair shop, whether it was apprenticeship, cleaning, boiling water and cooking, Chu Jiao's work was similar to that of other workers.

has a job and can earn money to support his family, which is a relief for Yujuan's family and A Xiu.

What's more, the rent of this Shikumen house is also an income, which is enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing.

When Yujuan and Ah Xiu first arrived, they were as thin as chickens. During this time, I had food and clothing, I ate very well, and my appearance has changed a lot.

Especially Ah Xiu, her hair is black and shiny, her face is ruddy, and the power of youth has returned to her.

"Brother, look at Xiaoya, she eats white and fat." Children are always the pride of their parents, and Yujuan also hopes that through her children, she can get closer to her brother.

Shen Chen reached out and touched Xiaoya's little arm, she had indeed gained a lot of weight, and it looked a little like a lotus root.

The little girl looked at Shen Chen, babbling twice, Shen Chen couldn't help laughing, and said, "You guys are doing well, I'm relieved." ”

"If only it could be above board." Yujuan is obviously not satisfied, she has a brother but can't say it to the outside world, and it's a bit sneaky to see them, either at night or through the back door.
