Chapter 350: Coastal Defense

"One destroyer for 150,000 dollars, you can give you two, give you training personnel, and you can fight." said the colonel.

In the end, the bargain was 120,000 US dollars, and Zhou Lin bought two.

Today's negotiation made Zhou Lin take out $390,000 at once.

Zhou Lin said: "This time, I have become a poor egg again." ”

Smith smiled and said, "$700,000, you only spent $540,000." There are also 160,000 dollars. ”

Zhou Lin shouted: "The soldiers are paid in cash, but I spent nearly 200,000 US dollars on the construction cost of this island. In this way, the $700,000 was spent, and I took out $50,000 myself. Do you say I'm rich? ”

Smith settled the account and nodded: "You're a poor bastard now!" ”

The colonel left happily, and tomorrow, he will send warships and soldiers to Zhoujiadao to train the navy of Zhoujiadao, and the shore artillery will also come to Kamcha tomorrow.

Although Zhou Lin was bloody, he was very happy, with coastal defense artillery and warships, plus tens of thousands of troops on Zhoujiadao, Zhoujiadao was no longer afraid of any forces in the South Seas.

On May 12, 1941, Li Xiang, who had received a telegram from Zhou Lin a month earlier, came to Nanyang, and he would escort weapons and equipment to Yan'an.

Li Xiang, who came to Shangde Island, was very happy after visiting Zhoujia Island.

It can be said that Zhoujiadao is his base camp, and only when the base camp is strong, can these soldiers fighting on the front line have the courage.

The more than 6,000 guns that Zhou Lin replaced were all packed with butter.

What Zhou Lin valued the most was the one million ammunition that Smith sent.

In Smith's eyes, it was a scrap product that could not be sold, but in Zhou Lin's eyes, it was different, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army used this type of ammunition.

Due to the Japanese puppet blockade and the Kuomintang blockade, the Eighth Route Army could no longer find supplies.

No bullets, go to the battlefield and fight with bayonets? That's called death.

Therefore, what Zhou Lin values most is the million rounds of bullets.

Smith decided to hire the captain of the American freighter who had been to Luliang last time for the delivery mission. He has worked with Li Xiang twice and is familiar with the navigation of the Yellow River.

At the same time, Zhou Lin asked Smith to ask the colonel of the U.S. Navy base to help arrange for a U.S. destroyer to escort the U.S. freighter into the Yellow River.

On the first day of his departure, Zhang Wenxuan sent $200,000 worth of daily necessities from President Chen, which were urgently needed in Yan'an.

And Zhou Lin also bought 200,000 US dollars of daily necessities and sent them to Yan'an, the 200,000 US dollars belonged to Xiangjun and Yulan, and they took out all the pirate money.

Among them is a box of American camel brand cigarettes, and Zhou Lin knows that the chiefs like to smoke.

This was forcibly snatched from the quartermaster depot of the US Navy base.

Zhou Lin watched as the American freighter left the waters of Zhoujiadao and sailed toward the South China Sea under the escort of American warships.

Three hours later, Lao Fourteen reported a situation to Zhou Lin.

It turned out that the American freighter was temporarily docked on an island more than 100 nautical miles from Zhoujia Island. Li Xiang got off the boat and went on a trip.

Then about 150 people went up from the island, all of them Chinese.

"Who are they?" Zhou Lin had actually guessed it.

"The Malaysian Communist Party, they are on the ship to escort them."

"Guards? Did they bring weapons? Zhou Lin asked.

"Young Master, aren't the ones we sell just weapons?" Old Fourteen said.

Zhou Lin nodded, there were weapons on the boat, and the bullets were enough to fight.

Zhou Lin's "Eye of the Night" has a clear understanding of the situation in Nanyang, and the Communist Party of Malaysia was established by a Chinese organization.

Three years ago, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the CCP sent more than 1,000 Red Army soldiers with more than three years of military experience to Nanyang to establish a base area to provide materials for China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

After these soldiers came to Nanyang, they sent out the masses and organized activities, and they were already famous in this part of Nanyang.

However, no one knew that they were sent by Yan'an.

Zhou Lin told Xiangjun about the situation after the fourteenth left, and Xiangjun and Zhou Lin laughed.

The Nanyangs did not know the relationship between the Communist Party of Malaysia and Yan'an.

But they would not have thought that there is a more hidden person who also has a close relationship with Yan'an, no, it should be said that this person is a member of the Communist Party of China.

This man is a three-sided agent! No, it's a four-sided agent now.

And far away in the military police headquarters in Mingzhu, Yamada received a telegram from Kobayashi.

Every ten days, Kobayashi had to report to Yamada on the situation in Nanyang, especially Zhou Lin's activities.

But when Yamada heard that Zhou Lin was killing in the South Seas, he laughed.

Murder, occupation of the island, and the title of demon, all of which show that Zhou Lin has the same belligerent and brutal temperament in his heart as the people of Yamato.

When he heard Kobayashi's report that Zhou Lin and Smith colluded with the quartermaster of the US Navy Base to secretly buy US military ordnance to strengthen the protection force of Zhoujia Island, he smiled the most.

So, he invited the head of the Mei Agency, Ozaki, and the three of them drank red wine in Yamada's office and chatted about Nanyang.

"It's a pity, that's a million and a half million dollars." Yamada said.

Ozaki disagrees with Yamada's point of view: "Without $1.2 million, Zhou Lin can buy so many US weapons?" ”

The head of the Mei organ also said: "You must know that those 30 108-mm coastal defense guns will definitely have a huge lethal effect on the imperial army's warships when the imperial army attacks the South Seas. Now that they are arranged on Zhoujia Island, they have become the cannons of the imperial army. ”

"That's right! Zhou Lin bought two destroyers from the U.S. army, and the U.S. army had two fewer warships, while the imperial army had two more warships. Ozaki added.

Yamada nodded: "One million two hundred thousand dollars, buying thirty 108 mm coastal defense guns and two destroyers is indeed a good deal." Even eighty percent of the new destroyers cost $300,000 each. The 108-mm coastal defense gun is the largest caliber artillery in the world, and the price is sky-high. ”

In fact, when Xiao Lin reported, he only said that Zhou Lin gave each of them 10,000 US dollars, thus hiding the fact that he had shared more than 140,000 US dollars.

With this money, he has already bought two beautiful small buildings on Zhoujia Island, one for his family to live in, and the other for Miko's family. At the same time, he bought two shops on the island to do business.

Now, Xiaolin's family is already the richest people on Zhoujia Island.

Next, he has to find a way to bring Miko's family to Nanyang.

Through the radio, Kobayashi told Miko about his family's situation in Nanyang.

Miko called back, and her family also had to enjoy the same treatment as Kobayashi's family, otherwise, Kobayashi would not be allowed to go to her bed.

After Miko was exposed in Chongqing, she had already withdrawn to Mingzhu and was now waiting for assignment.

Kobayashi took the opportunity to apply to the head of the agency to transfer the Miko team to the Nanyang spy station.

As a result, Yamada had Kobayashi's application report in his hands.

Yamada didn't know about Kobayashi and Miko's private affairs, and he didn't care if he knew.

After thinking about it, Yamada called Miko to the office: "You take your group to Nanyang and help Kobayashi-kun stick it in Nanyang like a nail, paving the way for the imperial army to seize Nanyang." At the same time, your family can be placed on Zhoujia Island in Zhou Lin, and he will take care of your family. ”
