Chapter 193: The Crazy Consul Who Lost His Land
Under the command of Li Han and Jin Long, the warriors first loaded the intact boxes into the trucks, and each truck was stuffed with seven boxes, and twenty trucks were able to transport one hundred and forty boxes, or seventy tons of silver, at one time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the golden dragon leading the team to set off with the convoy, Li Han left behind to command the soldiers to collect all the remaining silver, including the silver bars that had been thrown out before.
Such a vigorous robbery of the Japanese silver, the soldiers also swelled their blood, and at the same time, a sense of pride also arose.
Whether it is the central army or the local warlords, when it comes to the Japanese, they have a headache, basically they can hide as far as they can, and only their security forces think about how to deal with the Japanese all day long, and they don't just think about it, but also put their ideas into action.
"Hurry up, everyone, hurry up!"
Li Han personally instructed the soldiers to pile up the remaining silver, because the number of trucks was limited, it was necessary to go back and forth three times to be able to transport all the silver, but fortunately, the place where they hid the silver was not far away, and it only took about forty minutes for the trucks to go back and forth.
Three trips were only two hours, and it was not yet six o'clock at that time, and who would run to such a place so early in this barren mountain and wilderness.
As the time passed, the sky began to gradually brighten, and the silver transportation was almost complete.
"Let's go!"
Li Han gave an order, and the last group of soldiers from the dozens of guard regiments who remained here quickly evacuated the scene.
"This is where the golden dragon is used to hide silver, what the hell does your kid's head think, you can think of this way."
Li Han always thought that the golden dragon had chosen a natural cave or a big pit to hide the silver, after all, the amount of this batch of silver was not small, and it was not easy to hide them from being discovered by the Japanese or others, but he didn't expect the golden dragon to take the convoy directly to a large lake.
"Commander, I was originally leading people around here to find out if there was a suitable place for us to hide silver, but I stumbled upon this large lake, so I came up with this solution.
I also asked people to go down to explore the depth of the lake, and the depth of the shore of this large lake is seven or eight meters, and the middle is more than ten meters deep, which is the most suitable for storing this silver. ”
"Well, it's really not easy to find, but just in case, as soon as the rumors from here pass, you will immediately salvage the silver, and I think this batch of silver will soon be put to use."
The golden dragon's method is really good, the most important thing is that this is suitable for them to transfer silver, no one would have thought that the robbed silver was hidden in the big lake twenty minutes away from the place of the incident.
More than three hours after Li Han and the others left the railway line, Beiping's lost fields had not received a reply from Tianjin, and their hearts suddenly chuckled, and they had a faint bad feeling in their hearts.
Because it is only three hours at most to take a train from Peking to Tianjin, but now more than six hours have passed, but he still does not believe and dare not believe that there are still people in China who dare to rob the empire's silver.
Moreover, this is the first batch of silver transported by the Empire after the passage of the "Silver Act", and even the merchants of the Empire rarely know where the people of China got the information.
He first contacted the Tianjin Concession garrison and the North China garrison, and then went to the Fengtai military camp to ask Song Zheyuan to send troops to assist them in searching for the train.
"Consul Lost Field, it seems that the Beiping Railway Bureau did not open a train to Tianjin three days in the morning?"
Song Zheyuan's eyes narrowed slightly and said that the Beiping Railway Bureau actually opened an additional train without him knowing it, and it was also for Japan, which made him very annoyed.
"Director Lu is a good friend of the empire, and the empire also has very important things this time, so I specially asked the director of the road to add an extra train, and we also paid real money, Chairman Song is not at a loss!" Lost Tian said with a smile.
The silver is nowhere to be found, and of course Oda is very dissatisfied with the road director of the railway bureau, and he even suspects that the road director deliberately leaked the news.
However, after all, this director of the road is a person who is friendly with the empire, and if the people of the empire do it, I am afraid that it will affect the attitude of other pro-Japanese political leaders in North China, so he wants to use Song Zheyuan's hand to kill the director of the road.
"Since the train was sent from Beiping, it is up to our 29th Army to look for it, and Mr. Lost Tian can go back and wait for news first." Song Zheyuan said lightly.
"Chairman Song, the goods transported by this train are very important to the Empire, and if it is not handled well, it may destroy the friendly relationship between the Empire and Chairman Song."
Lost Tian said gloomily, thinking that the silver worth eight million silver dollars might be robbed, Lost Tian could no longer maintain his former calm, and before he could say a word, he began to directly threaten Song Zheyuan.
"What does Consul Okita want?"
Song Zheyuan said coldly, the tone of his voice made him very uncomfortable, but he was also very curious about what it was, so that the always calm Lost Tian directly tore off the hypocritical skin.
"It's very simple, first: after Chairman Song's men find the train, they must immediately block the scene, and do not let anyone get close to the train, not even the people of the 29th Army.
Second: as soon as the news of the train is discovered, immediately notify the consulates in Tianjin and Beiping, and the garrisons of the imperial consulates will solve the matter themselves.
Chairman Song can rest assured that the empire will never infringe on the interests of the 29th Army, but on the contrary, will strengthen further cooperation with you. Lost field skin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Song Zheyuan knew that the Japanese were really anxious this time, but if the Japanese army was to be allowed to move between Pingjin and Tianjin at will, where would the face of the 29th Army go.
I'm afraid that the college students in Peking will run to the street again and scold themselves as traitors. However, it is definitely not possible to refuse like this, and looking at the attitude of losing the field, it will definitely not stop if it does not achieve its goal.
"Chairman, there is a problem with the Beijing-Tianjin railway, the train that left this morning was blocked in the middle of the road, and the people from the railway bureau said that there was a problem with a section of the track, and a train had overturned, and I heard that a lot of people died."
Just when Song Zheyuan was in a dilemma, Deputy Army Commander Qin Dechun came to his office with a look on his face.
"Commander Qin, are you sure that the Beijing-Tianjin Railway is in addition to the problem?"
Song Zheyuan hadn't spoken yet, and Lost Tian had already spoken first, but at this time, Lost Field's face had turned pale, and even his voice trembled a little.
Qin Dechun didn't go back to the lost field, and turned to look at Song Zheyuan.
"The deputy commander said that it doesn't matter, Consul Okita came to me for the train, but I don't think there is any need for Mr. Otian to ask me now."
Song Zheyuan said with a smile, he met the plague god of Lost Field early in the morning, and now that he heard the news brought by Qin Dechun, his mood was finally better.
"Chairman, Mr. Consul, this matter has been determined, and now the railway from Beiping to Tianjin has been broken, and the scene is currently under the control of our army."
Qin Dechun said.
"What about the road director of the railway bureau, let him come to see me immediately, there was such a big accident, how can he, the director, be the director."
"Chairman, Director Lu has committed suicide in fear of crime."
"What? Chairman Song, I still have some urgent matters, so I'll go back first. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Song Zheyuan to respond, turned around and left, who is the road director of the Railway Bureau, he knows very well in his heart that he will commit suicide in fear of sin, and the sows will go up the tree.
The train overturned, the director of the railway commission committed suicide, and the loss of land was almost certain that this was a premeditated robbery against the Imperial Silver.
"Brother Shaowen, there are no outsiders now, you can talk about it." Song Zheyuan said to Qin Dechun with a smile.
"Chairman, I know that I can't hide it from you, the director of the railway bureau was killed last night, and at the scene of the train overturn, there were more than 200 corpses scattered, as well as hundreds of 300 large covers, and a lot of bullet casings.
It has been preliminarily confirmed that all the people killed were Japanese, and one of them was Ryuichi Ikeda, a garrison of the Beiping Consulate.
Obviously, the Japanese have robbed a number of very important things. ”
Qin Dechun said with a serious face.
"The mountain rain is coming, who will do it? Who has the courage to break ground on the heads of the Japanese. ”
Song Zheyuan sighed, seeing the performance of the lost field, he knew that the death of hundreds of Japanese soldiers was a trivial matter, and the key was the looted goods.
After Otian came out of Song Zheyuan, he immediately rushed to the scene of the incident with a squadron of Japanese soldiers. Although he was already sure in his heart that the silver must have been robbed.
But the amount of silver was so large that he didn't believe that the robbers could leave no clues, and he also had an interesting luck in his heart, hoping that it was really an accident.
When Okita came to the scene of the incident, he didn't even bother to look at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the side, and rushed directly into the carriage.
It's a pity that there is nothing left inside, only empty carriages. This is true of one carriage, and so of two, and so of all carriages loaded with silver.
The same goes for the damaged boxes scattered on the ground, there is nothing in them, and the lost fields are finally completely desperate.
"China, I'm going to tear you apart."
The angry and corrupt Lost Field couldn't care about the image of an external official, and let out a terrible howl just like a wounded beast.
This silver is not only an unimaginable sum of money, but also an important part of the empire's crackdown on China's financial markets.
And all this is not difficult at all, it can even be said that it is easy to achieve, but it failed at the last moment, how can it not make him crazy.
At this time, Okita saw Ryuichi Ikeda, who had been covered with a white cloth and only one head was still outside, and he hurriedly ran over to see if he was still alive, but he didn't really care about Ryuichi Ikeda's life or death, but hoped that he could leave a clue.
But Ryuichi Ikeda's bullets had been smashed into a sieve, and he was already dead and couldn't die anymore, so he kicked Ryuichi Ikeda's corpse a few times to vent his dissatisfaction.
