Chapter 696: Espionage on the High Seas
At 6 a.m. on 3 October, more than 180 wounded military police officers who were about to return to Japan came to the lobby on the first floor of the bank to wait to receive their personal luggage, bereavement materials, ferry tickets, and other items that had been transported here in advance
"Yes, when you send the certificate of repatriation, why don't you send the other things along with it?"
"I heard that the first boat leaves at eleven o'clock, and if it is arranged in that boat, it will be suspended."
"Who isn't? In China for so many years, who hasn't exchanged their lives for something to pick up a life? ”
As time passed, the mood of the crowd became more and more anxious, and only some officers who had received orders in advance waited silently. At 6:40, Ni Xin finally appeared, and He Qixin and Zhang Zhan, who came out together, temporarily set up two tables at the east and west ends of the hall.
Only then did everyone calm down, and they flocked to both sides to go through the formalities, which were cumbersome and needed to check all kinds of documents. He Qixin and Zhang Zhan seemed to know some Japanese, but their spoken English was very poor, and it was difficult to communicate with everyone, and the progress was slow, so they finally got the tickets and cash, and went down to the basement according to the instructions, only to see all kinds of luggage piled up, and only one of the two staff members knew Japanese. The crowd could only be patient and line up in a long line. However, these people are still fierce soldiers, and soon there was a conflict, and the two staff members were not good-tempered, and refused to let go, and there was another quarrel, and they almost started to move, and the others hurriedly persuaded them, and the progress was even slower.
On the rooftop of a high-rise building opposite, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao condescendingly observed, Ni Xin walked over, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said: "I'm not afraid of Ni Sang laughing, although I knew in advance that some people were carrying gold, but I didn't see any of it." Even if the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command had the ability to reach the sky and detect in advance that most of the 2.2 tons of gold had been carried by these people on civilian passenger ships, it would not have been possible to attack 180 people at the same time. ”
"I said that, how come everyone out of the time interval, so long. When will the most important batch of gold, disguised as communal provisions, be shipped? ”
Ying Zuozhen Zhao thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "You are talking about a truck transporting coal just now?" ”
Ying Zuozhen praised: "It's not unusual to say that it's broken, but who would have thought about it? ”
"He didn't know yet, but he led the team to Nanjing two days ago, and I ordered him to stay in the guest house of the Ministry of National Defense to be on standby."
"Ni Sang is serious, everything has me. Don't talk about this, before I came, I went to the army hospital to visit, Ge Jiapeng's condition was still not very good, the doctor said that he could not withstand the bumps on the way, and it was best not to move for 48 hours. ”
"Wait a little longer, not only to wait for all the gold to be safely on six different civilian passenger ships, but also to wait for Ge Jiapeng's physical condition to stabilize a little. Wouldn't it be a pity to suffer such a big stimulus again, in case it would take his life? ”
Ying Zuozhen smiled and said: "Ni Sang, there is another piece of news, which is bad news for the Great Japanese Empire, but it is what Ni Sang wants to see: the collection of precious metals has been suspended. The remaining silver, the very limited amount of gold collected for the second time, was handed over to the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, where it was at their disposal. ”
Although Ni Xin made all the preparations, the operation of Nanjing Zhengjin Bank went smoothly and there was no change.
"Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"
After the plan was successful, Zhang Zhan basically had no possibility of clearing the suspicion, Zhou Chengbin ordered Zhang Zhan and Feng Gensheng to evacuate, and he personally went to meet Wan Lilang, who was also in Nanjing, and coerced him to assist. and ordered Li Yi and Chi Daohou to lead a raid on the Nanjing Army Military Hospital to rescue Ge Jiapeng. Liu Zezhi had been worried about whether his comrades-in-arms in the tiger's den could be evacuated smoothly, so he glanced at Wu Shun and did not answer.
"At ten o'clock in the evening, the passenger ship sails to the high seas, hands! End the operation in half an hour. At half past ten, the Allies will send small military ships to meet us. Wushun, there is also a large amount of gold disguised as coal and firewood on this passenger liner. As for manpower, naturally someone will come after the boat is sailed. ”
"Yes, without the support of the Allies, how dare you do it at sea?"
"We didn't know in advance that the gold, disguised as coal and firewood, would be loaded onto the ship. In addition to us, there are five passenger ships with our crews on board tonight. In Nanjing, there are ...... In short, all the belongings that the Shanghai branch can mobilize have been used. ”
There was a long and two short knocks outside the door, Liu Zezhi signaled Wushun to open the door, Cui Feng and Dong Kang walked in, and when they saw Liu Zezhi, Cui Feng was very surprised: "Deputy Director Liu, I didn't expect to catch up with the action you personally commanded." Dong Kang, what are you doing in a daze? I've seen Deputy Director Liu. ”
Liu Zezhi got up and said, "Nonsense! is so unclear, you are really sorry for Zhang Chi, Cai Kun and other comrades-in-arms! If you say that you make a mistake at work, you should be damned, I should have died a hundred times a long time ago! ”
"Enough! You're a man, and you're an agent of the military command, so I don't have time to comfort you. Wu Shun, guarding on the side of the corridor, Cui Feng, tell me how you got here? ”
"Director Zhou's arrangements are very thorough."
Liu Zezhi nodded: "This possibility is not very likely, the biggest concern of the Japanese puppet using civilian passenger ships to transport precious metals is that we see through it, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, doesn't it mean pointing it out to us?" ”
"The headquarters of the bureau has contacted the warships of the allied forces, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the six passenger ships will all arrive on the high seas, and they will be unified at that time."
Dong Kang wanted to take on the most dangerous task and follow Zhang Chi and others to martyrdom, which was undesirable for him. Liu Zezhi understood what was on his mind, but he didn't break it, and ordered: "Do as I say." This is the cabin number of eleven Japanese military police carrying gold, Kagesa Zhenzhao is very cautious, eleven people are divided into eleven cabins, and some cabins are still four-person rooms. There are only six of you, so let's discuss the details. ”
