On November 13, Zhou Lin took Xiangjun on the boat.

The boat departs from the Pearl and ends in Hong Kong.

Zhou Lin planned to transfer ships from Hong Kong to Macao, and his ostensible purpose was to go to Macao to gamble money, but in fact, his real purpose was to go to Macao to complete a task assigned by the party Central Committee.

A batch of anti-Japanese war materials worth US$3 million donated to Yan'an by Tan Kah Kee, an overseas Chinese businessman from Singapore and president of the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association, is now stranded in Macau.

The total number of overseas Chinese in China is about 8 million to 8.5 million, and its distribution area can be divided into three major areas: Europe, America and Southeast Asia, most of which are distributed in Southeast Asia, accounting for more than 95% of the total number of overseas Chinese

After the "918" incident, overseas Chinese actively launched the anti-Japanese movement to save the country and set up many anti-Japanese organizations.

In September 1936, the "All-European Federation of Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese and National Salvation" was established in Paris.

After the "77" incident, the patriotic enthusiasm of overseas Chinese became even higher, and various anti-Japanese organizations were established one after another.

On the day of the "77" incident, the overseas Chinese in New York set up a general relief committee and elected Situ Meitang and others as executive members to coordinate the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement of overseas Chinese in the Americas.

In August 1937, overseas Chinese groups in the Americas jointly established the General Association for the Unified Charity of Overseas Chinese in the United States to Save the Country. The association has 47 chapters and activities in more than 300 cities and towns in the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America.

In Southeast Asia, where the overseas Chinese population is most concentrated, the scale of the salvation movement is even larger.

In the Philippines, within half a month of the "July 7" incident, overseas Chinese in various localities set up 376 patriotic organizations.

In October 1938, 164 representatives of 45 overseas Chinese groups from the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, Annam, Thailand, Burma, Malaya and Hong Kong gathered in Singapore to announce the establishment of the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Relief Association for Refugees in the Motherland".

Tan Kah Kee, the leader of overseas Chinese in Singapore, was elected as the chairman of the association, and Zhuang Xiyan, the leader of overseas Chinese in Indonesia, and Li Qingquan, the leader of overseas Chinese in the Philippines, were elected as vice chairmen.

The declaration of the congress pointed out: "If the great calamity of the country cannot be eliminated for a day, the great responsibility of the people cannot be relieved for a day, the artillery fire in the front cannot be stopped for a day, and the slaughter in the rear cannot be stopped for a day." In the future, it is advisable to do our best, to do our best, to self-discipline, to encourage ourselves, to be enthusiastic and generous, and to contribute to the country, so that the country can use the blood and sweat of our people to wash away the shame of a hundred years."

Since the current Chongqing government tried its best to prevent overseas Chinese from donating materials to Yan'an, claiming that it was the legitimate government of China, all donations should be accepted and distributed by the central government.

Under the obstruction of both the Japanese and the Chongqing government, the materials donated by the overseas Chinese were stranded in Macao, and the Chongqing government has received information that they will send personnel to Macao to receive the supplies.

In this case, the central government asked Zhou Lin to find a way to transport this batch of goods back to Yan'an safely. Support Yan'an's anti-Japanese resistance.

Therefore, Zhou Lin went to Macau privately in the name of gambling in Macau.

Although it was a private trip, the heads of Yamada, Ozaki, and Mei organs gave Zhou Lin two tasks, one private and one public.

The private task is to find a way to get more good tea, because Macao is the best, so many domestic materials in and out are transferred from Macao. The largest market for Tieguanyin tea is now in Macau.

Yamada They will not use military expenses to buy tea for themselves at a high price, but Zhou Lin went to Macau to gamble, won money, bought some good things and came back as gifts, no one can blame.

In addition, after Zhou Lin went to Macao, the head of the Mei organ asked Zhou Lin to find a way to find the materials donated by overseas Chinese and strive to seize them, but if he could not get them, he would blow them up, and he could not let the materials fall into the hands of Yan'an or the people of Chongqing. That's tolerance.

For this reason, the head of the Mei organ gave Zhou Lin a warrant that he could mobilize the personnel of the Mei organ in Macao to participate in the operation if necessary.

Yamada, on the other hand, asked Zhou Lin to transfer ten people from the Immigration Administration to go to Macau with him. One is to protect Zhou Lin's safety along the road, and the other is to have a helper when moving.

Zhou Lin told Yang Kun of the order of the head of the Mei organ, and Yang Kun immediately reported it to Dai Li. Dai Li replied: Looking at this situation, it is very difficult for me to use these materials, and the idea is ruined, and we cannot let them fall into the hands of the Communist Party, let alone let them be seized by the Japanese.

For this reason, Dai Li ordered Yang Kun to also go to Macao to direct the operation of the Macao military command.

The two orders made Zhou Lin extremely stressed, so he took the risk of sailing to Li Qiang's bookstore.

After receiving Li Qiang's telegram, the Central Committee ordered the Butterfly Group: Do everything possible to safely send these important materials for the Anti-Japanese War back to Yan'an.

To this end, the Central Committee telegraphed the Macao Social Affairs Group, the Hong Kong Underground Party, the Guangdong Underground Party, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Anti-Japanese Detachment to be on standby at any time and obey the command of the Butterfly Group.

The external contact person of the butterfly group is Li Xiang, and Li Xiang obeys Li Qiang's command.

In this way, Zhou Lin has not yet left, and Macao is already covered with war clouds.

In the selection of who to accompany Zhou Lin to Macau, there was a commotion on the dock.

Everyone wants to go to Macau to have fun and gamble. If you're lucky, make a small fortune. If you are unlucky, you will lose two or three hundred oceans. Of course, no one said they were unlucky.

In the end, Zhou Lin selected the bald head, the head of the Operations Section, the chief of the Logistics Section, the captain of the Coast Guard, the four section chiefs with one from the Intelligence Section, one from the Action Team, one from the Land Patrol Team, one from the Coast Guard, one from the First Special Section, and one from the Second Special Section.

The ten people selected were all strong soldiers who had gone through the rain of bullets.

Among them, the Intelligence Bureau and the Coast Guard are both underground parties, and before they set off, they accepted orders, and after arriving in Macao, they obeyed Li Xiang's command and had important tasks.

They didn't know Zhou Lin's identity, nor did they know Li Qiang's identity, even between the two of them, and they didn't know each other's identity.

Before Zhou Lin left, he went to a fruit shop.

He met Li Xiahui and told Li Xiahui that he would go to Macau and asked Li Xiahui to help contact the tea road in Macau.

Li Xiahui readily agreed, informed the big households of Tieguanyin in Macau, and informed them of the contact information of an armed ship on the sea of Macao, so that Zhou Lin could contact them when needed.

Zhou Lin asked Li Xiahui to arrange a batch of weapons to be placed in the dark spot, and Zhou Lin entered Macao empty-handed when they entered the Macao pass, but they had to have a gun in their hands after entering Macao.

Li Xiahui said a location and asked Zhou Lin to pick it up after he arrived in Macau.

Zhou Lin went to Smith at the same time and informed Smith that he would go to Macau to earn money, and asked Smith to contact an American cargo ship to dock at the Hong Kong and Macau Gate Terminal, and Zhou Lin would have the goods back.

As a result, not only the freighter was connected, but also a smith was attached.

Smith also wants to go with Zhou Lin to the Macau War Casino to make a fortune.

However, Smith did not travel all the way to Zhou Lin, and he left a day early on an American freighter.

On the passenger ferry from Mingzhu to Hong Kong, Zhou Lin still slept with Xiangxiang.

In fact, they are arranging the next steps and discussing the possible dangers.

This time, a few groups of people gathered in Macao, what kind of bloody storm will it bring to the small land of Macao? No one can know.

So he has to put forward every step and let Xiangjun find a way to destroy it. Think about the problems and difficulties that arise as much as possible, and then think about how to deal with them and solve them.

"There's one thing you need to think about." Xiangjun said
