Chapter 232: Dock Confrontation

Tactical failure will only defeat a battle, and strategic failure will indeed lead a country to destruction, Commander Chiang thought that he could see Japan quite clearly, but unfortunately he once again misunderstood Japan's strategy.

Although the top level of the Japanese government is not ready for a full-scale invasion of China. However, this time it was the Admiralty that struck out, and the Admiralty, which had been greatly stimulated by the brilliant results of the War Ministry, decided to throw off the Japanese government again.

They are to build a greater feats than the War Department. Therefore, the current Japanese Admiralty really wants to fully occupy Shanghai.

In late January, Sun Ke's provisional government still did not support it because of financial difficulties, and at the same time, more and more anti-Japanese activities across the country also made Sun Ke anxious.

In desperation, Sun Ke had no choice but to take the initiative to resign, and proposed that Commander Jiang return to the mountains to take charge of the country.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, there is not much atmosphere in Shanghai at this time, firstly, because the Northeast has fallen, and the citizens of Shanghai have no intention of celebrating the New Year.

The Japanese Navy has repeatedly patrolled back and forth at the mouth of the Yangtze River, specifically looking for trouble with Chinese ships. In the past month, dozens of civilian ships have been detained, and hundreds of crew members have been detained.

At noon on 27 January, Li Tie, who was working at Huaxing Foreign Bank, suddenly received a call from Huaxing Wharf, saying that a 10,000-ton cargo ship carrying grain had been innocently detained by Japanese warships at Huaxing Wharf.

Li Tie, who was preparing for the Japanese to attack Shanghai, couldn't help but be stunned: "What is this little Japan playing?" He didn't believe that at this critical time, what good thing would happen for the Japanese to come to Huaxing Wharf to make trouble?

However, in line with the strategy of blocking the water and covering the earth, Li Tie still had to go to the dock in person, after all, although the people of the whole country now know the history of the Huaxing Escort Force, but without his order, the Huaxing Escort Force did not dare to easily start a war with the Japanese, not to mention that they still drove warships.

Li Tie called Wang Qi, Dubin walked out of the gate of the foreign company, and Tie Dan drove himself, followed by ten large cars full of fully armed Golden Tiger Rangers.

As for why he only brought so many soldiers, it was because there were still nearly 500 Huaxing guards stationed at Huaxing Wharf, and Li Tiecai did not believe that there were still people on the ground in Shanghai who dared to use force against him.

Even if it is the Japanese Marine Corps, Li Tie is very aggressive and drives to Huaxing Wharf with a powerful convoy, and the various forces that know the wind immediately pass on the news quickly.

Today's Li Tie is firmly in the position of Shanghai's No. 1 tycoon. His every move will be noticed by people from all walks of life.

Therefore, as soon as Li Tie left the foreign bank, countless phone calls were made to various mansions, embassies, and secret clubs. What everyone said was almost Li Tie taking a convoy of soldiers to Huaxing Wharf.

So it was just a moment of effort, and all the characters with heads and faces in Shanghai knew. Li Tie's 10,000-ton ship was detained by a Japanese warship.

Everyone also knows that Li Tie went to the dock this time to negotiate with the Japanese. Some of these people are worried about Li Tie.

Everyone in Shanghai knows that the Japanese are not easy to mess with, and the Japanese marines are even more difficult to mess with, and the sight of a single Japanese aircraft carrier fleet scared hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Beijing-Tianjin region into not daring to move?

He Li Tie is good, and he dares to fight to the death with other warships with two or three hundred people. Is this Li Tie's guts also made of iron?

However, there are also many people who want to see Li Tie's jokes, since Li Tie has gained a foothold in Shanghai, everyone knows that you can offend the three tycoons in Shanghai, but you can't offend Li Tie.

Because of the three tycoons who offended, as long as you escape from Shanghai, you may still be alive, but if you offend Li Tie, even if you escape from Shanghai, it is useless.

Because Li Tie's current power has spread all over China. Even if you run to the Heavenly Cliff Cape, you can't escape Li Tie's pursuit.

Now Li Tie's prestige is counted all over the country. Although he doesn't have any decent territory yet, and he doesn't have much formal army.

However, just because he easily killed nearly 5,000 Japanese soldiers, the common people of all China looked up to him, not to mention that from many well-informed people, Li Tie's power was far more than what he seemed. The great things he has done are even more numerous.

These people gave them an analogy, in the past, Li Tie's stamping of his feet would only cause a general shock in Shanghai. Now Li Tie stomps his feet, and the whole of China will shake with it.

As for the so-called Shanghai tycoons and the like in the past, they are not at the same level as the current Li Tie at all, and these can only be known from the fact that the three tycoons never dared to say a bad word about Li Tie in front of or after people.

Li Tie sat in the car, looking at the gloomy sky of Shanghai, maybe God knew that the war was coming.

Li Tie's convoy soon arrived at Huaxing Wharf, only to see that there were two huge ships docked in front of the wharf, one was a 10,000-ton giant ship of his own Huaxing Shipping, and the other was a Japanese 1,000-ton patrol ship.

Li Tie didn't understand, you said that if the Japanese detain the boat, you will pull the boat away? What do you say your warships are doing at my Huaxing wharf?

Moreover, dozens of Japanese soldiers were standing on the dock in one piece, as if they were waiting for Li Tie's arrival.

Wang Qi and Du Bing also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately looked around the dock, for fear that the Japanese would carry out another assassination or something.

But apart from seeing four huge wooden boxes standing on the high sentry platform at the four corners of the Huaxing warehouse, there seems to be nothing to doubt.

However, Wang Qi still ordered the 200 special soldiers who came to clear and defend the dock. Then the guards who had done all this went to the Japanese soldiers in front of the dock in a group and confronted them.

The soldiers on both sides had long looked at each other unpleasantly, and the Japanese looked at each other with contempt. The convoy was furious. I believe that as long as the boss gives an order, they are confident that they can immediately step forward and beat each other so that even their mother can't recognize them.

Li Tie, accompanied by Wang Qi and Du Bin, slowly came to these lined up marines. Before Li Tie could speak, a captain took the initiative to stand up in the Japanese ranks.

As soon as the captain stepped forward, he apologized to Li Tie with a smile on his face, and claimed that they absolutely did not have the courage to detain Li Tie's ship.

It's just that they got a report from the British that there was contraband on this 10,000-ton ship, so they had to come and detain this 10,000-ton ship, but they would not seriously inspect it.

They will just take a casual look at the ship and then leave, and even if there is contraband on the ship, they will still treat it as if they don't see it.

So he begged Li Tie to wait here for a while, and they would immediately inspect all the cabins. Then return immediately.

Li Tie really doesn't understand, this little Japan must have some ulterior secrets. Otherwise, they wouldn't have put so much effort into doing useless work here.

However, as the saying goes, he doesn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, since the Japanese have stated that they are not here to find trouble, and they have lowered their posture so low, he is embarrassed to turn his face openly. After all, this kind of routine inspection is not unprecedented, and British and French patrol boats have also inspected it in the past.

However, as Li Tie's power became more and more powerful, it had been a long time since the patrol boats of the great powers came to trouble Huaxing Shipping.

Li Tie had no choice but to accompany the soldiers of this squad and wait. However, a giant ship of 10,000 tons can be easily inspected, although Li Tie has repeatedly said that the inspection time is too long.

However, the captain of the Japanese army always greeted him with a smile, and sometimes the Japanese soldiers of the whole team bowed to Li Tie together and declared their apologies, which made Li Tie not know what to do.

Finally, after more than half an afternoon of tossing, when the Japanese squad leader saw that Li Tie finally couldn't help but make a big move, he personally got on the boat and chased the inspectors off the boat, and then this group of Japanese soldiers slowly boarded the patrol boat and drove away.

Looking at the patrol boat in the distance, Li Tie fell into deep thought. He called Tie Dan and asked him to lead a team of people to the freighter to see if these Japanese had done anything in the cabin.

As a result, Tie Dan and his men and horses really found three small packages in the cabin. But the package was just a change of clothes from the Japanese soldiers, and there was nothing else, not like Li Tie imagined that there were bombs or something.

But what are they doing hiding their clothes in the cabin? Just when Li Tiebai was puzzled, the ship personally came to report that when the Japanese patrol came on board just now, it was obvious that he was carrying five small packages. But when I got off the ship, there was not a single package.

Although three small packages have been found so far, what about two smaller packages?

So Li Tie thought that he couldn't be careless, and immediately sent Tie Dan to organize people to go on the ship again to search repeatedly, but Tie Dan and the Einsatzgruppen searched three times inside and out, but they didn't find the other two small packages.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Tie could only reluctantly give an order, ordering the time when the freighter was originally scheduled to leave for Hong Kong the next day to be postponed by one day, and he was worried that the Japanese had planted some time bombs on the freighter.

In this way, I was confused and tossed around at Huaxing Wharf for a day, and I didn't understand what the Japanese wanted to do?

And I knew that today and tomorrow would be the time for the Japanese army to attack Shanghai. He had to find out more about the actions of the Japanese army tonight.

But back to the eastern part of the Golden Tiger Club, Li Tie told the thousand-tailed scorpion what happened this afternoon, and the thousand-tailed scorpion said with certainty that he had fallen for the Japanese's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

But Li Tie really couldn't figure out what the use of transferring him from Huaxing Foreign Bank to the dock for an afternoon? All of our companies are very well secured, and we are not afraid of a sneak attack by the Japanese.

Besides, there are two brigades of Chinese ** in Shanghai, according to the history he is familiar with, didn't the Japanese want to attack several docks and railway stations in Shanghai first?

There, he had already informed the two brigade commanders of the 19th Army in Shanghai, and they had also taken corresponding precautions. It stands to reason that the Japanese should not have succeeded in a sneak attack.

Then just when Li Tie and the Thousand Tails Scorpion were deeply puzzled, they heard that the phone in front of the Thousand Tails Scorpion's desk suddenly rang non-stop, and the Thousand Tails Scorpion picked up the phone, and there was a rush from inside.

Li Tie clearly heard the first sentence beside the thousand-tailed scorpion: "Huaxing Aviation Military Academy was attacked, and all fighters were blown up." ”
