Chapter 34: Selling Prisoners

"Phew!" A crisp gunshot woke Zhou Lin up from his contemplation.

Xiangjun was also awakened: "What happened?" ”

Zhou Lin pulled out his pistol: "I don't know!" I'll go out and have a look, you lock them up. If someone tries to break in, they will be shot immediately. ”

After speaking, Zhou Lin immediately got out of the cabin and came outside.

When Zhou Lin rushed out, he happened to run into Xiao Lin who rushed out of the cabin, Xiao Lin also heard the gunshots and rushed out, and he didn't know what was going on.

When Zhang Ergou saw the two of them, he came over to report: "Report!" There were a lot of unidentified people climbing up the freighter, and the sentry had already fired warning shots. ”

Zhou Lin shouted loudly: "It's so late, this intention, no need to warn!" Tell the brothers, find someone climbing the broadside, shoot immediately! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ergou immediately ran to issue the order.

"Someone!" Kobayashi shouted as he retracted his pistol.

A security guard came over: "Please instruct Taijun Kobayashi!" ”

"Hurry up and get someone to the warehouse and get me a light machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition." The Ministry of Small Forestry ordered.

Immediately, a security guard went to the warehouse, and after a while, the light machine gun was in Kobayashi's hands. Kobayashi went to the side with a light machine gun.

"Get me one too!" Zhou Lin also came to be interested.

Before the light machine gun arrived, Zhou Lin heard the sound of machine guns coming from the side, and the small forestry department opened fire. Then I heard the sounds and screams of many people falling into the water.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Lin thought of what Dai Li told him when he was in Anqing, and there were several officials in the security army who discussed the robbery of Zhou Lin and his party in the section from Nanjing to the Wuhu River, and robbed the weapons on the American freighter.

As for the underground party, there is no intention of seizing guns. The people of the organization have met with Xiangjun, and they have no plans to rob.

So it's definitely dog bite dog, and now, it's up to you to see what the bite becomes.

After getting the light machine gun, Zhou Lin did not go to the sideboard, but drove the machine gun outside the cabin to prevent the enemy from rushing in.

At this time, on the river, there were more than a dozen boats around the American freighter.

Quite a few people were shot out of the water, but quite a few were still on board.

Zhou Lin felt strange that at this moment, the two warships that said they were protecting them had long since disappeared.

During the battle, several grenades were thrown onto the deck of the freighter, killing and wounding several soldiers guarding the side of the ship.

Zhou Lin asked a security soldier to guard the machine gun, and he came to Xiao Lin's side: "How is the situation?" The warship and the robbers are in the same group, and the warship is hiding, so we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"There is a battalion of troops on the assault, and there are two more battalions on the periphery." Kobayashi Stops Shooting:

"The frigate has already run away? It's hard to rely on our little strength. ”

"Zhang Ergou!" Zhou Lin knew that he was enough to rely on himself, and he had to have foreign aid.

Zhang Ergou ran in front of Zhou Lin, looked at Zhou Lin with his eyes, and waited for Zhou Lin's instructions.

"Contact the commander of the first division and the first regiment and ask them where they are now? Tell them about our situation and ask them to come and help. ”

Listening to Zhou Lin's words, Zhang Ergou hurriedly ran back to the cabin's operator's room.

Five minutes later, just over 20 kilometers away, a division and a regiment were rushing upstream.

"Report to the Captain! Emergency! The operator shouted.

"Read!" The head of a regiment ordered.

"Our ship has been attacked by unknown armed forces. There was one battalion in the assault and two battalions in the flank, and the battle was fierce, and reinforcements were requested. ”

"His grandmother's! Sure enough, it did! Order, all ships, in an attack formation, to attack quickly twenty kilometers ahead. The commander of the regiment immediately ordered.

More than thirty ships rushed upstream at a rapid pace, and behind them, more than fifty motorized boats loaded with soldiers followed.

After half an hour of fast driving, it was already in the combat area, and the commander of the regiment could see the sparks of the muzzles on the freighter.

Soon, the battalion where the enemy was on guard downstream, spotted a regiment commander and intercepted it.

But one group of fire was too strong, and soon the battalion was scattered. Eight or nine boats sank into the river, and all the people on board fell into the water.

Under the illumination of flares, a group of soldiers who fell into the water opened fire, just like a normal practice, one shot at a time.

Soon, the battalion collapsed, and a regiment rushed towards the attacking battalion.

The assault battalion was already suppressed by the force on the freighter, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, and at this moment, a group rushed in, and they had no ability to resist. In order to avoid the tragedy of the downstream battalion, all the remaining men of them disarmed and surrendered.

The battalion upstream saw that the two battalions were soon gone, and that a mass of victory was rushing towards them, and immediately fled with full force upstream.

The soldiers on the freighter all stood up, waved their guns in their hands, and let out cheers.

A group of regimental commanders boarded the freighter and came to Kobayashi.

"Report! The commander of the first division and the first regiment of the security army reported to Taijun. ”

Xiao Lin was also tired and sat on an iron plate: "Yes, it came in time." But how did you get here? ”

Zhou Lin smiled and recounted what he had discussed with the four major generals: "His grandmother's! The warship hid! It seems that the warship was bought by the other side. Colonel, please immediately interrogate the captured soldiers, ask about the situation, and report to the four generals. ”

Kobayashi agreed, immediately stood up, and offered to interrogate him personally. It is estimated that he is afraid that a regiment commander will make a false interrogation record.

And Zhou Lin returned to the cabin to rest, so he didn't bother with this god.

"What happened? The gunshots sounded like fried beans. Xiangjun asked.

"Dog eats dog!" Zhou Lin introduced the situation.

"I thought our men were coming to rob the goods?" Xiangjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hijacking a ship with such strong firepower? That's suicidal act. Zhou Lincai didn't believe that the underground party had the ability to rob the goods.

"You all know this, how can those people not know?"

"Maybe they didn't know about the strength of a reinforced company on board. And these are the top of the guard troops, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Their plan may have been a sneak attack, but the sneak attack failed, and the subsequent battle situation made them defeat again and again. ”

"Therefore, whether the intelligence is correct or not determines the outcome of a war." Xiangjun sighed.

"That's how important it is for us people." Zhou Lin leaned back in his chair to rest.

"Zhou Linjun!" Kobayashi's voice rang out outside.

Zhou Lin opened the door and came out: "Gained? Which turtle son did it? ”

"The men of the 4th Division of the Security Army were ordered by his division commander to hijack the arms." Xiao Lin finished smoking and asked Zhou Lin for a cigarette.

"Did you report to the director?" Zhou Lin helped him light the fire.

"Debriefed! The commander of the agency asked all the captives to be taken to Mingzhu. ”

"Drag back the pearl? How many captives did we take? Zhou Lin asked.

"There were more than a hundred captured. What do you want? "Xiao Lin doesn't know what Zhou Lin is going to do.

"Sell for money!" Zhou Lin ignored Xiao Lin and asked someone to bring a bottle of red wine.

"Sell for money? Captives can also be sold for money? Kobayashi was confused.

It's hateful that Zhou Lin only cares about drinking red wine by himself, and he only says half of the words.

Xiao Lin couldn't help it, and snatched Zhou Lin's wine glass: "Drink it after you make it clear." ”

Zhou Lin had no choice but to stop drinking, sat down and asked, "Is the commander of the Fourth Division willing to get this matter to the military police headquarters?" ”

"Is he stupid? If he got the gendarmerie headquarters, maybe he, the division commander, would be in danger. ”

"Does he want a peaceful solution to this conflict?" Zhou Lin then asked.

"If I were him, I would definitely think so." Xiao Lin was confused and continued to ask: "What does his idea have to do with making money?" ”

"Of course it is! As long as he wants to suppress the incident, then we will tell him, take the money, and I will help you solve the problem. Zhou Lin snatched the wine glass.

"You're doing the business of a senior official at the headquarters of the Security Army, and those people will listen to you?"

"Do I care if they listen to me or not? All I have to do is sell heads. Zhou Lin poured wine again.

"You mean, before the case was handed over to the headquarters, we sold all the people, and the headquarters of the security army did not take prisoners, and he could not hold the commander of the fourth division responsible." Kobayashi finally understood.

"Clever! It's easy to talk to smart people. Zhou Lin took a sip of wine.

"So how are we going to sell it?" Kobayashi became excited and poured himself a glass of wine.

Zhou Lin's head is spinning fast, and he will make money in a blink of an eye.

"Soldier, 100 oceans for one person, squad leader, 150 oceans for one person, platoon commander, 200 oceans for one person, company commander ......"

"The company commander is 300 oceans alone. The battalion commander 500 oceans, no, 800 oceans for one person. Xiao Lin's price made Zhou Lin frightened, he was too greedy.

This is the rhythm of doubling, and Xiao Lin wants to pay back with himself.

"You can lower it, because the money is going to the director. There is also a code that is ours, and the code is up to you. We helped the commander of the fourth division to come up with ideas, and released his people, and helped him get rid of trouble, and he has to thank us. Zhou Lin drank the wine in one gulp, put the wine glass in the wine cabinet, and turned around to leave.

"What did the Inspector say?" Xiao Lin grabbed Zhou Lin.

"In order not to let outsiders know about the disgrace of the security forces, to prevent accusations from above of the poor management of the military police command, and at the same time to increase the revenue of the military police command. So it is advisable to sell these captives. Zhou Lin looked confident.

As soon as Kobayashi heard it, he understood, and immediately ran away. Zhou Lin knew that he had gone to report to Yamada.

Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, Xiao Lin ran back and said excitedly: "The commander of the organ has agreed, let us talk to the commander of the fourth division in private." ”

"Good! Walk! Zhou Lin threw the half-smoked cigarette into the ground and walked out.

The two came to the place where the captive battalion commander was being held, and Zhou Lin brought him out.

"Director Zhou, I have long known that you are righteous! Can you raise your noble hand and let go of your brother? As soon as the battalion commander saw Zhou Lin, he immediately flattered.

Zhou Lin gave him a cigarette: "Do you know my principles?" ”

"Knowing and knowing, it's not profitable to be early!" The battalion commander said it in passing. But he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately pleaded: "I'm talking nonsense! You are a hero who fights for righteousness and squandering money. ”

"Don't out! I just can't afford to be early! If you want me to save you, take the money! Tell your teacher, I see that he is pleasing to the eye, so I will help him once! Conditions? You talk to Kobayashi-kun, remember that there is no third person who knows except you and your division commander. ”

After speaking, Zhou Lin made a gesture to Xiao Lin to invite, and he listened to it on the side.

The battalion commander immediately called the operator and reported to the commander of the fourth division with the code.

Soon the call back arrived: "Agreed! Empower you to negotiate. ”

So, after some haggling, the rules of the transaction were finally set.

The living and the dead were all returned to the Fourth Division, and the price was 15,000 oceans. The dark price is five thousand oceans. The dark price is Xiao Lin and Zhou Lin's.

After negotiating, they drove to the Changzhou section, relied on a medium-sized speedboat, and handed over all the captives with all their belongings.

Kobayashi was very happy to accept two bags, which were ransom.

Five thousand dark gold, three thousand oceans of Xiaolin, and two thousand oceans of Zhou Lin.

In this way, a catastrophe was dissipated in the prisoner sale of several people.

Later, there was no more danger, and Zhou Lin returned to his home at the dock.

asked the bald Wang Hu, and found that the days without his own were calm and calm, so he rewarded two people with a pack of cigarettes each.

is still a banquet building, or four major generals plus Zhoulin, or a table of women playing mahjong.

"It's infuriating!" The direction said angrily.

"Don't blame me for letting those captives go. If you don't let it go, you can't let it go! If you go up to the high-level trial and find out the original owner of this batch of weapons, it will be a big deal! If people are red-eyed, they will say a word casually, and their weapons will be confiscated, and there will be no place to cry at that time. Zhou Lin squinted in the direction and said, he believed that the four of them were reasonable.

"Yes, yes! Dude is right! If it weren't for the elder brother who explained to the head of the Yamada Agency, we wouldn't be able to suppress it if we wanted to. Chang Liang has always believed in Zhou Lin.

"That's right! What we have to do now is to recruit troops, put up the shelves, and strive to form an army within half a year and join the battle sequence. "The direction is clear.

Zhou Lin remembered something: "How could those two warships slip away?" ”

The crowd looked in the direction, waiting for his answer, the warship was his finding.

"I'm really sorry, the captain of the warship said that they temporarily received an order from the upper echelons to go to Wuhu on business, so they left."

Zhou Lin sneered: "It should be that they have this plan for a long time. After our cargo was loaded onto the ship, we were escorted to the accident site in disguise. Then he didn't want to get involved, so he left. If it weren't for Brother Chang's group, the current batch of arms might have been in the hands of someone else. ”

"yes, yes! It's really dangerous! The three of them obviously forgot that it was Zhou Lin who should be given a commission, and continued to talk about other things without oil and salt.

"Have you paid the management fee of the head of the Yamada office?" Zhou Lin had no choice but to turn around and ask.

"Before coming here, we had already gone to the gendarmerie headquarters. Fifteen thousand oceans have been handed over to the head of the agency as you told us. A major general replied immediately.

Chang Liang saw that the three of them were a little pretentious, so he took the lead in handing Zhou Lin a silver ticket: "This is a 10% commission for you, 25,000 oceans." ”

The three of them saw that Chang Liang had already given it, and it was difficult to pretend it anymore, so they had to give Zhou Lin ten percent of the silver tickets of 30,000 oceans each.

These four silver tickets are a total of 115,000 oceans.

Zhou Lin put away the silver ticket and said with a wry smile: "It looks like so much, but in fact, only a quarter of it is left in my hand." I handed over 40,000 oceans to the head of Yamada, 40,000 yuan to the introducer, and I left 35,000 oceans in my hand. And along the way, Anqing asked the imperial army for help, and I took out 5,000. So I made a profit of 30,000 oceans. ”

Chang Liang smiled and said, "I know you have helped us a lot. We remember it in our hearts. ”

But those three people thought that Zhou Lin shouldn't open his mouth and ask for so many commissions.

They never thought that without Zhou Lin, how could they have so much equipment.

Everyone resumed casual conversations again, but Zhou Lin had already understood the three people. If it weren't for Chang Liang's pressure, they would definitely not want to give Zhou Lin's commission money.

For such people, Zhou Lin has already pulled them into the blacklist.
