Chapter 742: The Wind Rises in the South Seas

In the second bathing area, there are two things that are the most distressing, one is that there are many mosquitoes. its disturbances. And the spread of diseases, the second is that the climate is hot, and people will feel tired throughout the day, and Europeans think that people in the tropics are lazy, and this hot climate is only one of the reasons.

To deal with mosquitoes, human beings have no good way, because there is no way to eliminate them, can only start from the prevention of disease, in the tropics, malaria and yellow fever are the most common, fortunately, effective drugs have appeared, Europeans can stay in the tropics, as for the hot climate, at present human beings have no way to deal with it, although the refrigerator has indeed been clear, and applied to the industrial sector, but to play into the life of ordinary people, it seems too early, can only rely on the fan to relieve the heat.

Now, Gong Chuntai is desperately shaking a fan. But the sweat still made him unbearable, and it is said that the temperature in Hunan is already very high in summer. But compared to this Singapore, it is nothing, not to mention that it is still summer, even if it is close to the sea and there is a sea breeze, but as long as the sun does not set in the sky, this person wants to be comfortable.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, but there were still a few hours before the sun set, Gong Chuntai was a little anxious, half of it was hot, and the other half was worried about the safety of the liaison.

That liaison was Huang Chengshan, the head of the MIA's station in Singapore. He is the second shopkeeper of the "New Fuzhou Chinese Medicine Shop", and now Gong Chuntai is in the wing room of the New Fuzhou Chinese Medicine Shop, anxiously waiting for Huang Chengshan's return.

Although the wing room is full of chairs. But Zhenchuntai can't sit still now, shaking the fan while walking around the wing, and his heart is anxious, and his temper is not very good.

"What the hell is this place, or a British naval base, why can't there even be electricity?"

Gong Chuntai scolded and put the fan on the coffee table, picked up a bowl of herbal tea, poured it into his throat, moistened his somewhat dry throat, and then raised his head and looked at the light bulb on the roof.

In fact, there is electricity here, but the local power station can't keep up with the expansion of the city, and now the weather is hot, in order to ensure the power supply of the European colonizer settlement, this Chinese settlement can only have a power outage, and this power outage is several days, the light bulb has not been lit for a few days, as for the electric fan, Gong Chuntai has not used it a few times since he arrived in Singapore Port.

It was extremely hot, and Gong Chuntai's pride in the rivers and lakes also came up, so he simply took off the building and got up shirtless.

ten thousand

It was cool, and suddenly there was a figure at the door of the wing. Huang Chengshan walked in.

"How? Got in touch? ”

Gong Chuntai hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Huang Chengshan sweating. Hurriedly fanned him with a fan.

Huang Chengshan lifted his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then nodded, and said: "I got in touch, the boat has already come, in Dongtang Village, just waiting for the goods to come ashore, you said that it is inconvenient to be in our pharmacy, I will send people to look for places everywhere, looking for them, there is no one, the place is safe, or wait for you to give an idea." ”

"How's it going out there?" Gong Chuntai asked again.

"It's a mess. There were British soldiers everywhere. Suspicious Koreans were searched everywhere, and when they heard that hundreds of them had been arrested, the British governor was not satisfied and threatened to arrest a thousand Koreans. Huang Chengshan said.

"Is our action group retreating now? You can't ask the British to arrest them, don't look at them all. boasted that he was a hero outside, but when he went into prison and ate some whips, he was afraid that he would recruit everything. ”

"Don't worry, I already put them on the train at noon, and now, I'm afraid they're already in Penang. Besides. Their North Korean action group is all in the field, and they know very little, even if they are caught. Nothing can be supplied, and we don't have to worry about exposure. In fact, I am worried that now that the British governor has spoken harshly, he is afraid that the Koreans will retreat. ”

Seeing that Huang Chengshan was still a little worried about the next work, Gong Chuntai smiled faintly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the leaders of the Korean overseas Chinese organization are all those who fought against the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula and have seen the world. And the Military Intelligence Bureau has also planted eyeliner in it, and with them taking the lead, they will not worry about not being able to move, once they move. The British are going to be in a hurry. Then we're halfway there. ”

Huang Chengshan nodded, lifted Gong Chuntai's thin silk gown from the coffee table, and handed it to Gong Chuntai.

"Brother Gong, let's hurry to Dongtang Village now, no matter what, first get the guns and ammunition on the ship ashore, now the British are rumoring, there are patrols everywhere, and the marine police are also dispatched, let's be careful and move the arms to a safe place as soon as possible." There's really no place to put it. It's just in the pharmacy warehouse. ”

"Exactly. You quickly gather people, and we will go to Dongtang immediately. ”

Gong Chuntai nodded, put on his shirt, and when Huang Chengshan gathered people, he first went to the telegraph office, took a very brief telegram to Penang in clear code, and then waited for the other party to call back, half. An hour later, the call came back, and Gong Chuntai rushed back to the Xinfu Chinese medicine store with a copy of the telegram.

At this time, Huang Chengshan had gathered five capable subordinates, all of whom were the most reliable intelligence officers of the intelligence station, and for this operation, the intelligence station could be said to have been operating efficiently.

Seeing that Gong Chuntai rushed back, he was always busy leading people to follow him to the four-wheeled carriage of the shark sugar cane wine, and then the coachman drove the carriage to Dongtang Dan Village.

In the carriage, Gong Chuntai handed the telegram transcript to Huang Chengshan and asked him to look at it, and after reading it, Huang Chengshan just nodded, did not speak, and then stuffed the telegram transcript into his mouth and swallowed it.

Seeing that Huang Chengshan was so cautious, Gong Chuntai was happy and said: "You are cautious, this is quite similar to the character of another respect, if the old man can also contribute to the country like us, it will be even better." ”

"There's no way, the Chinese have to be cautious to make a living here, although the British are more civilized than the Dutch, but after all, they are not of the same language or species as us, and they are not of my race, so they are not intimate after all."

Huang Chengshan said a few words, and then immediately closed his mouth, because a group of British cavalry was coming inside, fortunately, he did not pay special attention to the carriage carrying wine, but galloped straight in the direction of the military port.

The carriage headed for Dongtang. When Huang Chengshan and Gong Chuntai arrived at the British barracks in a carriage, they saw a large group of people gathered outside the barracks in the dark, and when they got closer, they heard shouts of abuse in the Korean language, and hundreds of Korean laborers gathered outside the gate of the British barracks, waving signs in their hands, shouting slogans, and insulting the barracks.

Huang Chengshan glanced at Gong Chuntai, both of them tacitly agreed, and couldn't help but shake hands, they knew. North Korean diaspora organizations have begun planning protests as planned. They also knew that the protests would be followed by a massive demonstration against the British colonial authorities in the Straits Settlements, this time with North Korean workers as the foreground forces. And China's power will work behind them.

I saw the heavily guarded sentry outside the barracks gate, and the Anglo-Indian soldiers who looked nervous. Huang Chengshan had to tell the coachman to speed up and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived in Dongtang, where Huang Chengshan and Gong Chuntai jumped out of the carriage with their men and walked into the village.

Dongtang was originally a small slag village, and most of the people here were from Fujian, so they had a good relationship with Huang Chengshan. Hwang Seung-sun also took advantage of this "relationship to show some peripheral intelligence agents here, and set up a liaison station here." Specifically liaise with the scum ships coming from Borneo.

When he arrived at the wharf of the fishing village, Gong Chuntai saw a Maping-style sailboat with a British flag fluttering.

Huang Chengshan pointed to the sailing ship and said, "It's that ship, the captain is also Chinese, and he has lived in Borneo for several generations. However, like other Chinese, they also have their hearts set on the motherland. His boat is a frequent smuggler and is familiar with the waters. ”

Gong Chuntai nodded, followed Huang Chengshan to the sailboat, and then was led by the captain to the bilge, turned over the plywood of the bilge, and more than a dozen wooden boxes were hidden there.

Gong Chuntai opened one of the wooden boxes. What I saw was packets of bullets, and then I opened another wooden box, which contained bundles of rifles, all Japanese-made gold hook rifles, and the guns were coated with a thick anti-lure oil to ensure the performance of the guns.

"This is the first shipment" 500 rifles, 50,000 bullets, and a ship to dock tomorrow. There are more guns and ammunition, so many munitions, you must find a safe place nearby, and if the North Koreans set a date for the riot, they can easily take them out and use them. ”

Huang Chengshan pointed to those rifles, quite worried, according to their pre-planning, once the North Koreans move, they can support the rifles to them, but so far, the North Korean expatriates have not yet determined the date of the riot, so this rifle can only find a place to store it first, and the storage place should not be too far away from Singapore Port, so that it can be easily accessed when used, without having to go to other places.

Gong Chuntai thought for a moment, and then said: "If it is stored in the pharmacy warehouse, once it is exposed." Your Huang family can't stay here any longer, you have to think about it. ”

Huang Chengshan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Chinese are bullied in Nanyang, the foreigners just regard us as their slaves, and the natives regard us as enemies. I've had enough of these days, and I'm sure I'm going to take a risk if I hide them in the pharmacy warehouse, but even if they're exposed, I'm not worried. As long as the motherland still takes us in. We don't have to worry about running out of places to go. ”

Gong Chuntai patted Huang Chengshan on the shoulder. He didn't say anything, he knew very well that the young man had already let go. And he also believes that as long as there is the Motherland standing behind him. They have somewhere to go.

At this time, the captain walked up to the deck, then returned to the bottom cabin, and stood on the gangway and shouted a few times, but in the Hokkien dialect.

"What did he say?" Gong Chuntai asked Huang Chengshan.

Huang Chengshan said: "He said that the weather has changed, and the storm is coming. ”

Gong Chuntai and Huang Chengshan walked onto the deck. Looking at the sea, sure enough, the sea antenna was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a thunderstorm had swept over this side, although it was still far from the coast, but both of them had already felt the powerful power of the storm.

This storm came at a really good time.
