Nobuyoshi Muto, Kuniaki Koiso, and Ninji Okamura, the three top leaders of the Kwantung Army, secretly negotiated and the final result was to agree to pay a certain amount of weapons and equipment to the Sand Ridge Volunteers. Either way, they're going to have to get those two British diplomats alive!

Otherwise, not only would the Kwantung Army be discredited, but even the emperor's anger would definitely not be something the three of them could bear! The royalists in Japan account for more than half of the army and the top of the government, and if these people fight together, the three leaders of the Kwantung Army will definitely die without a place to be buried!

As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi has long known what is at stake. The reason why the two chief and deputy chiefs of staff were called over to discuss it together was also to save the meaning of pulling people into the water. Paying a ransom to the bandits on Wanghai Mountain, of course, is not a very face-saving thing, and it is not enough to have the emperor's edict, and General Muto has to find two more companions.

Koiso Kuni Showa and Okamura Ninji are not stupid, and the two of them also know what's going on! Okamura Ninji said that he sent troops to encircle and suppress, but that was just his excuse. The old devil didn't want to say the words of agreeing to pay the ransom first. If any of you bring it up, I agree, but if you want me to say it first, there is no door! When he got to Koiso Kuniaki, this old boy was even more desperate, and directly kicked the ball back to Muto Nobuyoshi.

Commander Muto was also aware of the scruples of these two people, but fortunately, these two did not explicitly raise objections. Well, since you don't want to talk about it first, I'll talk about it first! As soon as Muto Nobuyoshi said that he agreed to pay the ransom, Koiso Kuni Showa and Okamura Ninji certainly agreed. They have no other tricks other than this!

Although Hu Fei estimated that the devil might agree to pay for arms despite British pressure, he definitely didn't expect it to be so soon!

On the third day after he sent the extortion letter, the martial law in Touyingkou was lifted, and in the afternoon, the manager of the foreign bank, Takahashi Shizuji, came to the door in person. Manager Takahashi mysteriously told Hu Fei: The Kwantung Army will have a large number of weapons and ammunition to be transported to Wanghaishan and handed over to the volunteers! The task of transportation was handed over to his foreign bank.

The Japanese foreign bank can't do the arms trade this time, where does he dare to grab business with the Kwantung Army Headquarters? However, the Kwantung Army Command gave him an order that he was only responsible for transportation and not for collecting money, could it be said that the Kwantung Army had already collected the money in advance? Do they have such a good reputation?

Of course, none of this is under the control of Shizuji Takahashi, the manager of a foreign company, he only needs to be responsible for delivering the goods safely. Although you can't make money from reselling arms, it's not bad to be able to earn a freight fee! In addition to telling Hu Fei that something went wrong, Manager Takahashi also apologized to Hu Feidao. Originally, it was said that it was a foreign bank and Hu Fei to do business, but no one expected that the Kwantung Army Headquarters would insert a lever horizontally!

It doesn't matter if you can't do it this time, we'll cooperate again next time we have the chance! Takahashi Shizuji has always been reluctant to make money from this way of buying and selling arms, and he came to greet Hu Fei in order to leave room for future cooperation.

Then let's work together next time! Hu Fei shook hands with Manager Takahashi with a regretful expression, the deal was not done, of course the regret should be. Sending Gao Qiao away, Hu Fei's heart was like opening two windows. The devil has already agreed to transport weapons to Wanghaishan, so he doesn't have to soak here anymore. I didn't know anything at home, so Hu Fei had to go back one step ahead to arrange the reception.

The two British diplomats here in Yingkou were handed over to Liu Dong. Since Hu Fei appointed him as chief of staff, this little thing can't be done anymore, right? Before leaving, Hu Fei told Liu Dong that the two foreign devils would be released after dark tomorrow. As for how to release it, it was Liu Dong's own business, Hu Fei just set an approximate time for him.

Hu Fei asked Liu Dong to look at Haishan to find himself after the matter was done, what could he do if the chief of staff did not return to the team? The Volunteers will fight at any time, and it will be more time to use him as the chief of staff!

After explaining everything, Hu Fei took Li San, Xiong Wei, Ji Jinbiao, and Gou Tianxiao out of Yingkou and rushed directly to Wanghaishan. After leaving the city, a few people got on their horses and galloped wildly, and after half a day, they reached the foot of the mountain.

The volunteers in ambush at the foot of the mountain knew a few of them, and after greeting them, they let them go directly.

The first thing I did when I returned to the mountain was to visit the old north wind first. Zhang Haitian's injury has stabilized after taking Western medicine, although he has not recovered, but now it is a fact that he is getting better step by step.

This time, Hu Fei made a great contribution again, because Zhang Haitian was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't speak, Xiang Qingshan rewarded Hu Fei with a certificate of merit and a pennant on behalf of the Volunteer Army Headquarters! Major General Zhang Binglin also came over in person to express his gratitude to Hu Fei as a son of man.

Now that the matter of buying medicine to cure the disease is over, it is time to talk about receiving weapons. Hu Fei told him that he had kidnapped a British diplomat at Yingkou and asked the Japanese for arms as ransom, and the volunteers present were jubilant!

Xiang Qingshan and Gai Zhonghua held Hu Fei's hand and burst into tears, they finally no longer felt inferior to the things they had done before, and it turned out that kidnapping tickets could be regarded as contributing to the country!

A large number of low-level officers of the Volunteer Army, such as Sun Laoliu and Feng Quan, regarded Hu Fei as their idol. The heroic story of Hu Fei entering the camp alone, kidnapping two Britons, and forcing the devils to take out a large number of weapons and ammunition as ransom was widely spread among the volunteers.

Of course, under the guidance of the correct public opinion of the senior management of the volunteers, the protagonist of this story finally changed. emphasized that Zhang Haitian, the commander of the Volunteer Army, led his subordinates to kidnap the British, and the person concerned, Hu Fei, was gradually downplayed. Heroes are made by leaders, and generals like Hu Fei are only suitable for being touted in the short term, but they are not suitable for being regarded as a well-known figure in the world.

The heroic story quickly spread all over the country, and Zhang Haitian was praised as an "anti-Japanese hero" by the people of the whole country! In the middle of this, the convoy of the Japanese foreign company rushed to Wanghaishan with more than a dozen carts of weapons and equipment, and Major General Zhang Binglin led several hundred volunteer soldiers down the mountain to receive these weapons.

A day later, in the evening, two foreign devils hugged their heads and cried on the street in Yingkou. When the Japanese soldiers on patrol found out, they immediately sent the two to the Japanese headquarters at Yingkou. After Yamaguchi Daisa's inquiry, it was learned that these two people were James and Hilton, British diplomats who had been missing for many days!

When asked how they had been kidnapped, the diplomats only said that they had met a thief on the street and had been kidnapped in the middle of the chase.

When asked again where they had been hidden in the past few days, these two people didn't know anything. I only know that there is a bare room in the road, and there is nothing in it, beds and benches. In the past few days that the two of them have been tied up, they have only eaten half a bowl of sorghum rice at each meal, and there are no vegetables! The urine and urine are all in the same room, and it can be said that I have been tortured.

I wanted to cover the two of them again and try to find the place where they had been hiding for a few days, but they were resolutely opposed by the British, and they unanimously demanded to return to the British Consulate as soon as possible!
