Chapter 27: The Gun Business
Zhou Lin tried the phone at home and called Yamada by the way.
"I'm back, Chief! I'll report to you. Zhou Lin said in a respectful tone.
Yamada said with a slap in his face: "Are you afraid that no one will know about your return this time?" It's a troupe again, and it's a beautiful woman, do you want to blow the horn and let everyone know that you are very capable? ”
"Director, I just found a girlfriend who fell in love at first sight, and helped her old club by the way. Because I also like to listen to theater. Zhou Lin hurriedly explained.
"You don't have to explain, I don't know you yet? If you don't, then you're not Zhou Lin. Now I don't have anything else for you to do, there is something Xiaolin will report to me, you can arrange to prepare for shipment, this time it's not a small amount, don't have an accident! "Yamada has Xiaolin here, Xiaolin is basically with Zhou Lin, and he knows everything about Zhou Lin, so he doesn't need Zhou Lin to report.
"Yes! I'll be sure to come up with a detailed plan and report back to you. ”
After putting down the phone, Zhou Lin said to Xiangjun: "I'll take you out for a walk!" There are a few places you should familiarize yourself with as soon as possible. ”
Zhou Lin drove away from the dock, first came to the telegraph office, pointed to the bookstore from a distance and said, "That's Comrade Li Qiang's bookstore." In the future, if I can't get out of an emergency, I will rely on you to deliver the news and make contact between me and Li Qiang. ”
"Remember!" Xiangjun kept all the situation around the bookstore in mind, this place and the surrounding environment should be remembered, even if there is an extra shoe-shiner, it is suspicious, maybe it is the enemy's secret agent.
"I just came back today, and going to the bookstore in a hurry will be suspicious, so I can only tell you the place, and I'll introduce you to you in two days. Let's go, this is not a busy area, and it will attract attention after staying for a long time. ”
After speaking, Zhou Lin drove away from the bookstore street.
After leaving the bookstore, Zhou Lin drove to the headquarters of the First Division, and the guards knew him, and his car was unimpeded by no one to stop him.
There were people who knew Zhou Lin and hurriedly ran to report to Chang Liang, and he was followed by the slow Zhou Lin and Xiangjun.
In many offices, the heads of men and women were sticking out, and their eyes followed Zhou Lin and the two, they were looking at Zhou Lin's girlfriend.
When he came to the office, Chang Liang said with a smile: "You finally have a basket, otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to drink your wine." ”
Zhou Lin rolled his eyes: "Do you drink less of my wine?" ”
Chang Liang invited Xiangjun to sit down and said, "Can that wine be compared with this wine?" I heard a few days ago that your kid went to Anqing, removed the other people's theater troupe, and hooked the main stage of the family. I don't know how many people envy you. ”
"Who spread the word so quickly?" Zhou Lin had a headache, how could the news spread so quickly.
Sure enough, Chang Liang said: "Your second general is eager to shout all over the city with a loudspeaker." No, I also went to the jewelry store and bought a pair of good goods for my younger siblings. ”
After speaking, Chang Liang went to the office and brought a pair of gold jewelry, which was very trendy.
Xiangjun was embarrassed to accept it, but Zhou Lin snatched it and stuffed it to Xiangjun: "Take it!" When he marries his fifth aunt, I will send back a better set for my sister-in-law. ”
Xiangjun glared at Zhou Lin: "Do you also want to marry your aunt's wife?" ”
Zhou Lin hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no!" It's enough to have you. ”
Chang Liang laughed: "You foal, it's finally put on." ”
After laughing, Chang Liang made a look, Zhou Lin informed, and said to Xiangjun: "You look at jewelry here, I will go to the public table with Master Chang to talk about something." ”
Xiangjun smiled and said, "You go!" Leave me alone. ”
Chang Liang and Zhou Lin came to the desk and sat down face to face.
"What's so hard about looking at you? You shouldn't have a hard time, right? When Zhou Lin came in, he could see that Chang Liang was pretending to be smiling.
"Three days ago, something happened to my arsenal." Chang Liang said.
"What's wrong? Blown up? Zhou Lin asked in surprise.
"Eight hundred rifles, ten light machine guns were stolen. There are also more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition. ”
"No, it won't! How did you steal so much stuff? Your guards grew up eating, hundreds of people, and they can't look at a single warehouse. Zhou Lin's voice rose.
"Brother and sister are still over there, be quiet!" Chang Liang looked at Xiangjun, fortunately, Xiangjun was still admiring the jewelry.
"It was the director of the warehouse who did it! He's an underground party! He bought off the three people on duty at night and drugged other people's meals, but the others poured, and they let the underground party in, loaded the things into the car, and transported the pearl out of the pearl overnight to northern Jiangsu. Chang Liang gritted his teeth.
"Can't get it back?" Zhou Lin asked.
"It's already in the hands of the New Fourth Army, and I can't say to the New Fourth Army, please give me back my gun." Chang Liang said that Zhou Lin smiled.
"You're funny! Does President Yamada know? Zhou Lin asked.
"Do I dare to tell him? Our division has an underground party, and once he knows about it, he will eat my heart. And also sent so many weapons to the New Fourth Army. Chang Liang almost cried.
"If you want to hide it, you have to close the hole. Otherwise, sooner or later, the stuffing will be revealed. ”
Chang Liang nodded straightly: "So come to discuss with your brother." The 18th Division still has so many weapons, I went out of 60 oceans to buy them. ”
Zhou Lin shook his head: "It's late!" If you had been half a month earlier, I would have been able to help, and now, those weapons have been sent to Anqing to form a security army. ”
Chang Liang was anxious all of a sudden: "Brother, you must save me!" If you don't get it right, Yamada will think that I sold that gun to the New Fourth Army, and then my brother will die. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Lin took out a pen and wrote on the paper: "I went to Sichuan this time and met someone who could get something from the Wuhan Arsenal. ”
"Really?" Chang Liang hurriedly stopped and wrote with a pen: "Can you find him?" ”
"He gave a phone number, and now the number is not with me, I'll go back and look for it, and then I'll help you ask."
"How much cargo does he have? How much is one? Chang Liang wrote.
He said he had been working on it for four years and had 10,000 sticks in his hands. The asking price is forty oceans a branch. Zhou Liang wrote, in fact, last time Mao Yimin said that twenty-five oceans can be done.
"Brother, 10,000 sticks, I'll eat them all!" Chang Liang wrote excitedly.
"You have so much money? 400,000 oceans, you can pile them up into mountains. Zhou Lin rolled his eyes again, this is always bright, and his heart is big.
"I have! My three brothers are all leading the army, and it is no problem for our three families to eat 10,000 sticks. With these 10,000 guns, the imperial army will definitely look at our three brothers differently. The position of commander is definitely mine. Chang Liang couldn't help but say.
"Okay, I'll go back and contact him. Well, each gun carries only fifty rounds. ”
"No problem! Bullets are easy to solve. Chang Liang said.
The result of the negotiation was that because Chang Liang wanted Zhou Lin to contact him earlier, Zhou Lin was kicked out. was so angry that he really scolded his mother, which provoked Xiangjun to cover his mouth and laugh.
Took Xiangjun around Smith's office and drank a cup of coffee.
went to the banquet building again, and let them meet the "three young grandmothers".
I met Zhou Chang in the banquet building, and I heard that Zhou Chang was going to be promoted to the first deputy director! At the same time of congratulations, Xiangjun received another set of jewelry.
Finally, I went to the fruit store and met Li Xiahui.
Li Xiahui did not send gold jewelry, but sent a jade bodhisattva, which was imperial green and worth 10,000 oceans.
Zhou Lin secretly told Li Xiahui that at five o'clock this afternoon, he was waiting for Zhou Lin outside the dock to discuss the shipment together.
At this point, Zhou Lin has walked through all the places that can be walked, and the related households have all walked through.
There are only two key points that he didn't go, so he can't go!
He had just returned, and Yamada must have known where he had gone when he returned.
So I want to see it, but I have to hold back and can't see it.
It's also for the sake of the organization, because I'm living in danger.
On the way back, he drove past the dead mailbox and told Xiangjun about the dead mailbox.
The long pigtails on that pole told him that someone was waiting.
After passing through the dead mailbox of the military commander, Zhou Lin also found a meeting signal.
He didn't tell Xiangjun the contact signal of the military commander, and the car just drove over slowly.
At five o'clock, a kilometer outside the wharf, in Zhou Lin's car, Zhou Lin and Li Xiahui discussed the handover plan for cigarettes.
One subject and three subjects had a dinner together, and the food was very lively. After dinner, it was already seven o'clock, Zhou Lin pretended to be drunk and was helped back to their room by Xiangjun.
As soon as he returned home, Zhou Lin immediately changed, how could he look drunk.
He took out a Browning pistol and handed it to Xiangjun: "Will you use it?" ”
Xiangjun excitedly held the gun: "I am trained to work underground. ”
Zhou Lin stretched out his finger and made a forbidden gesture.
Xiangjun blushed, just said that he had been trained, but in the blink of an eye, he violated the regulations on underground work.
Zhou Lin told Xiangjun that he was going out to see Li Qiang at night and asked her to cover at home.
Three minutes later, Zhou Lin slipped out of the small building and motioned for Xiangjun to latch the door.
Then, Zhou Lin secretly came to the wooden house and drove out of the speedboat.
Twenty minutes later, he sat down in front of Li Qiang.
Seeing Zhou Lin, Li Qiang was very happy and hurriedly gave Zhou Lin water.
"Gui has already arranged it?" Li Qiang asked.
Gui is Xiangjun's code name, and Li Qiang has received a notice from his superiors that Gui will be his contact person with Zhou Lin.
"In my house, let her cover for me to prevent anyone from entering. Oh! In the afternoon, I brought her to get acquainted with your bookstore. Didn't come in. Zhou Lin replied.
"Good! With her, we make up for the shortcomings among us. ”
Zhou Lin turned to the topic: "Two things, the first one, I met Li Xiahui at dinner, and we discussed how to ship. Originally, I wanted to see if I could rob the payment halfway, but Yamada meant that the goods would be shipped directly from the dock and the goods would be paid in person, and the payment would be given by check. So there was no chance. ”
Li Qiang answered: "Your mental organization knows, but we don't do such things." What's more, your situation is so dangerous, don't act rashly. ”
"Yes! Then I'll trade normally tomorrow. The second thing is, did our people steal the guns and ammunition that are always on? Zhou Lin asked.
"Isn't it the information you provided, the comrades of Group B found the arsenal, took advantage of their laziness, and got 800 guns. I know the news. ”
Zhou Lin's eyes widened: "Chang Liang said that the warehouse director was our person." ”
"That's because he was afraid that the upper authorities would find out and blame the poor guarding, so he let us in. So the blame was put on the director. In fact, the director is dead. ”
Zhou Lin finally understood, and he told him about today's situation.
"You said that Dai Limao and the people can let the guns out?" This time Li Qiang should be surprised.
"Yes! They said it the last time we met. Zhou Lin thought it was normal.
"It is estimated that it will be a refurbished gun, that is, a problematic gun, and it will be taken out after it is sent back to the arsenal. Ordinary people don't know that Lao * used these weapons to win over the ragtag army. At first glance, you can't see the advantages and disadvantages, it's still the same as a regular gun, it's okay after a year, but it's scrapped after two years. "Li Qiang has a strong knowledge of this.
"The people in the army don't recognize it?" Zhou Lin asked.
"Unrecognizable! Unless you are a master of the arsenal, you can recognize it. ”
"No wonder Dai Li dares to sell it, no wonder it's so cheap." Zhou Lin suddenly realized.
"The Wuhan government has at least tens of thousands of such guns."
Zhou Lin asked: "Then did I promise Chang Liang to help him buy a gun?" ”
"If you don't help him get it, he will take other ways to get it, you wait, I'll report to the central government and see the opinions of the superiors." Li Qiang got up.
"What I meant was that I would use Changliang's 400,000 oceans to buy back 16,000 guns, give Changliang 10,000, and we would remove 6,000 guns halfway. Look at the opinions of the chiefs. Zhou Lin hurriedly added.
An hour later, Li Qiang brought back the instructions of the head of the Central Committee that the 6,000 guns must be brought back to the New Fourth Army. Not to mention that it can be used for a year or two, even three or five months is a baby. Let Zhou Lin and Li Qiang come up with a plan to transfer flowers and trees, and report to the central government for approval.
As for Zhou Lin's idea of grabbing the tobacco money, he must not have, in order to gain the trust of the Japanese, Zhou Lin must continue to help the Japanese trade.
Zhou Lin told Li Qiang that he went to Yang Kun and asked him to telegraph Dai Li, whether to make this deal. If this is the case, we will wait for the military command to draw up a transportation plan, and then we will look for loopholes in its plan.
After that, Zhou Lin came out and called a rickshaw and went directly to the "Sakura Tea House".
In his private room, Zhou Lin had a Morse code conversation with Yang Kun, who brought tea and waited.
Zhou Lin also reported on these two situations and asked the military commanders how to deal with them.
After half an hour, Dai Lian quickly called back: "Guns can be done!" Twenty-five oceans were one piece, with one hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun. Sixteen thousand guns were delivered at the port of Echeng. It is better to pick it up by an American freighter. The matter of looting tobacco and soil money is not proper, and the military commander has no strength to rob the money. ”
Although Zhou Lin was the proposer of the robbery, he really didn't want to rob.
Because in the case of the strength of the enemy, it is difficult for one's own people to succeed.
Since Dai Li didn't want this money, it saved a lot of trouble.
"Do you know why the Director released these guns?" Yang Kun asked.
"Refurbished guns!" Zhou Lin said it in one mouthful, tapping.
"You know!" Yang Kun felt strange, how did Zhou Lin know.
"I once heard Yamada say that there are tens of thousands of refurbished guns in Wuhan, and it won't take long for them to break down and be scrapped forever." Zhou Lin carried out Yamada.
"Instead of piling up there and taking a place, let it make a contribution, and if you have the opportunity, let it become an ocean."
"I guess Chang Liang will scold me to death when he finds out." Zhou Lin smiled.
"You've pushed three, five, six, and you don't know if this cheap gun is refurbished!" Yang Kun gloated.
"If only he thought so!"
Zhou Lin left the tea house, called a rickshaw and returned to the telegraph office, and drove back to the dock from there.
After knocking on the door as promised, Xiangjun opened the door and let Zhou Lin in.
"Don't turn on the lights!" Zhou Lin slowly walked to the sofa.
"Done?" Xiangjun sat on the sofa.
"That's it! You rest! I sleep on the couch at night. Zhou Lin said.
"It's cold!" Xiangjun said with concern.
"There's a quilt in the small warehouse downstairs, I'll just bring it."
It was an unforgettable night for a pair of lovers in someone else's mouth! One sleeps in an upstairs bedroom, one sleeps downstairs on a sofa...
