Chapter 61: Preparing for a New Operation
Dai Li handed over the last balance of the arms to the financial staff of Huaxing Foreign Bank, and after the financial staff accepted the inspection, he led Du Yuesheng and his party to the warehouse where their arms were located.
Seeing boxes of temporary new munitions, Du Yuesheng finally smiled, with these munitions, his waist in Shanghai Beach was straighter.
The after-sales service of Huaxing Foreign Bank is very thoughtful, and there are ten special cars to help Du Yuesheng transport arms. With these ten cars, plus the five cars brought by Du Yuesheng. The 10,000 box guns and 1 million rounds of ammunition were transported back to Du Yuesheng's warehouse at one time.
In the morning and afternoon of the next day, Huaxing Foreign Bank arranged for Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin's subordinates to come to the Huaxing warehouse to settle the balance and take the arms. Huaxing foreign company also delivers door-to-door, thoughtful service for Huaxing. The three tycoons all gave full affirmation.
The morning after the arms deal was completed, Li Tie received a letter from Dai Li. Invite him to the Du Mansion for a banquet four days later, that is, on the evening of this weekend.
It happened to be Du Yuesheng's birthday, and Mr. Du was going to have a birthday party, and he was also going back to Guangzhou next Monday. When parting, ask him to continue the old one.
Li Tie knew that the host of this invitation was Du Yuesheng, and he also had some ideas in his heart. It seems that Dai Li wants to make friends with Du Yuesheng himself. After all, he is now known as the fourth tycoon by Shanghai Tang. Thinking about it, the other three tycoons must have long wanted to call themselves pounds.
Li Tie told the Thousand Tails Scorpion the contents of the letter, and the Thousand Tails Scorpion understood the truth as soon as he heard it, claiming that this time it was inconvenient for the Axe Gang to come forward to help him directly, and he could only solve it by himself.
Fortunately, Wang Qi is coming back soon. With Wang Qi and Dubin by his side, he will definitely not be in any danger. In addition, Li Tie's bodyguard team is still a little small, and he has to seize the time to enrich his strength.
It is best not to have a member of a known gang in the country, otherwise it will greatly reduce his status in the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes. In addition, on the day of the birthday banquet, although the thousand-tailed scorpion can't help Li Tie explicitly, she can help Li Tie in the name of the Axe Gang.
When Li Tie was worried about how to strengthen his strength again, he heard Mike knock on the door and come in and tell Li Tie good news.
His family has already told the German government that Li Tie wants to hire a German ** official, and the country has agreed in principle.
The German government was going to send Li Tie a 50-member army officer advisory group first. There is also a ten-man Air Force Advisory Group and a forty-member Naval Advisory Group.
In addition, Hoffman helped to contact the matter of buying and selling submarines, and the country agreed in principle. It's just that this kind of big deal must be reported to Congress, and it is estimated that it will be some time before there will be concrete results.
However, in the near future, there will be a 20-member military delegation in China that will go to Hong Kong with the next batch of goods to guide the construction of various infrastructure facilities.
At the same time, he also asked Li Tie to make good arrangements for the trainees, and there were instructors from the army, navy, and air force in the first batch of 20 people. They were also members of the first advisory panels.
Another piece of best news is that they have a 10-member special forces advisory group that has just been driven out of the northeast by Zhang Zuolin, and they have left Mukden yesterday and will arrive in Shanghai the day after tomorrow.
They will be the first batch of 50 members of the Army Officer Advisory Group, and they will be the first to arrive here to accept Li Tie's arrangement.
When Li Tie heard this, he laughed happily, and wanted to kiss the thousand-tailed scorpion when he hugged it, but fortunately, the thousand-tailed scorpion hid quickly, Li Tie laughed and said: "Speaking of bodyguards, they will come to the bodyguards, or a large team of foreign bodyguards, Sister Qian, let them live in your club after these ten people arrive, and you will hand over all the two hundred disciples of the battle hall to these ten people, so that they can train your war hall disciples well." ”
"Do my Zhantang disciples need to be taught by foreigners? We've trained well. The thousand-tailed scorpion said unconvinced.
"These foreign officials must be taught, only they can teach the strongest soldiers in the world. Believe me, Sister Qian, with these ten German special forces instructors and my exclusive secret recipe, it won't be long before your disciples in the battle hall will become the strongest soldiers in the country. Their strength will be terrifyingly strong. ”
Seeing that what Li Tie said was extremely exaggerated. However, he had already promised that as long as it was not a matter that harmed the Axe Gang, the thousand-tailed scorpion would listen to Li Tie in the future, so Li Tie spent money to help him train and help the people. It's too late for her to be happy. These two hundred Zhantang disciples are fighting every day, just looking for something for them to do.
Li Tie asked Mike curiously, why did Zhang Zuolin drive away these ten German special forces instructors? It turned out that when Zhang Zuolin first started his career in the Northeast, there were always German officials who helped him train soldiers, and the cooperation between the two sides has always been good.
However, in recent years, as more and more aid has been received from Japan, the educational policies of Japanese instructors and German instructors have been very different.
The Germans emphasized that elite soldiers should be better equipped, and Japanese instructors emphasized that soldiers' will to fight is above all else. The two concepts often collided in the Northeast Army, and Zhang Zuolin, who was reluctant to spend money on equipment, was of course more inclined to the concept of Japanese instructors.
Especially in the past two years, in order to monopolize Zhang Zuolin's resources, Japan has from time to time provoked the relationship between other countries and Zhang Zuolin. The departure of these ten German instructors was an absurd decision made by Zhang Zuolin on the surface after being provoked by the Japanese again.
In fact, Zhang Zuolin also had a last resort, on the one hand, he wanted to get rid of the control of the Japanese, and on the other hand, he had to be restrained by the Japanese.
Zhang Zuolin knew very well in his heart that the expulsion of the German instructors was only the first step for the Japanese to eliminate foreign forces in the northeast, and the Japanese would invade and occupy the whole of the northeast sooner or later.
Zhang Zuolin only hopes that this day will come slowly, as long as he has enough strength to get rid of it, the Japanese will be empty.
Zhang Zuolin believed that in another ten or twenty years with his skills, he would definitely be able to develop the Northeast well and finally get rid of the control of the Japanese.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Zhang Zuolin will never think of it until he dies, and he will never see his wishes. Because he has only five or six years to be full.
Mike told Li Tie that these officers were paid a hundred silver dollars a month at Zhang Zuolin's place, and you couldn't afford to open them when you got here.
Li Tie smiled and told Mike to rest assured that all the instructors who came to Huaxing Foreign Bank would have their salaries doubled when they arrived here, no matter how much their salaries were before. At the same time, after the completion of these instructor tasks, he was willing to stay in China and hired him with a high salary. If he is willing to return to China, he will pay travel expenses and bonuses.
Mike was very happy with Li Tie's generosity, and he was going to send a telegram to China again. Li Tie grabbed Mike and told Mike that the matter of the German advisory group was of course very important, and the matter of the four submarines should also be kept an eye on him.
When Germany decided to ship the goods, when to pay them. In addition, let Hong Kong's industrial city build a few secret submarine berths in the Tuen Mun Pier warehouse. Later, submariners were trained off the coast of Hong Kong.
Mike told Li Tie to rest assured. He will not only keep an eye on these things, but also the plant equipment in Hong Kong, including the equipment of the shipyard. He contacted the seller in Germany, and just waited for Li Tie to make the down payment, and they were about to ship the goods and install them at home.
Li Tie asked in detail about all the equipment that needed to be purchased. The Hong Kong Industrial City alone will require up to five million silver dollars. Other ancillary equipment, such as airplanes and cargo ships, were procured in full, and another five million silver dollars were obtained.
This is not counting the corresponding maintenance and operation costs after the equipment is purchased. Li Tie calculated, and it seemed that he was not much left of the 20 million silver dollars he had from Arrogance and Zhenye.
For the first time, Li Tie felt the pressure of funds. Even if the profits from the sale of arms and the income of foreign banks are removed, it seems that there will still be a big funding gap in the next few years.
Li Tie couldn't help but feel a little distressed, who would have thought that Li Tie, who was worth tens of millions, would be troubled by money? Looks like we're going to have to find a way to make some extra money.
Li Tie sent Mike away with a smile. I saw that the thousand-tailed scorpion was looking at himself with a suspicious face: "You are buying a ship and an airplane." What the hell are you trying to do? You don't really want to rebel, do you? ”
"How can it? How can I have so much courage, I am a good citizen. "Li Tieyi is like an honest person.
The Thousand-Tailed Scorpion pursed his lips, "If you're an honest man." There are no bad guys in this world. ”
"How can you say that about your husband?"
"Whose husband are you?"
"Of course it's yours."
"Don't be ashamed, my brother hasn't agreed yet. Isn't it not necessarily your person? The thousand-tailed scorpion rolled its eyes again.
"Who else can you marry but me? If anyone dares to look at you more, I will arrest him and go to sink the Huangpu River. ”
"And say you're a good person? There are good people who will kill people at every turn. I think you're tougher than our Axe Gang. ”
"How can you, you are more professional, hey, I think of something when it comes to this."
"What's the matter?"
"When we went to blow up the Yamato villa, I found that the two people you arranged to kill the hall at that time were very good." Li Tie suddenly said something.
"Which two people killed the hall?"
"It's the two people who are in charge of blasting. I didn't pay much attention to it when it was dark, but I later found out that it was a pair of twins. ”
"Ah, you said it's the Demolition King Lei brothers" The Thousand Tails Scorpion finally remembered the two of them.
"What, Demolition King?" Li Tie said.
"Yes, these two brothers used to be employees of the Northeast Fireworks Factory, and later they were invited by the Japanese to go to the media mine in Japan to be responsible for firing guns underground, because of a dispute with the Japanese guards, in a fit of anger, the guards were killed and fled to Beijing.
The two were arrested to serve in the army, fought for two years, and then ran to Shanghai, where they offended a local gang in Shanghai.
Just when they were about to be stabbed by the people of this gang, it happened that my eldest brother led people to attack this gang and saved them, so they have been following my brother for the past few years.
Because the two of them are very good at making all kinds of bombs, and there are various ways to detonate them, so they have the name of the explosion king.
Although the two brothers were the ones who killed the church, they were directly under the leadership of my brother, so to speak, my brother's subordinates, and they were also brothers in life and death. How did you think of them. What's the matter? ”
"There's a little bit of a thing, but it's not convenient to say right now, if you can transfer the two of them. There's something I'd like to talk to them about. If we can, we might have another big deal to do. Li Tie said seriously.
"Oh, what kind of sale. Whether it's to blow up a villa or grab a cargo ship. As soon as the thousand-tailed scorpion heard Li Tie's words, he immediately came to his senses.
"Neither, it's more profitable than both."
"Oh, tell me what business it is." The thousand-tailed scorpion asked impatiently.
"No, I have to meet with the Lei brothers to discuss the possibility before I can tell you."
"Look at your virtue, if you don't tell it, you won't tell it, anyway, as long as the Lei brothers know, I can know in the end."
"Oh, I forgot to ask, what is the name of the Lei brothers?"
"There are two of them, thunder is not three, thunder is not four."
"What? Dubious? Li Tie said.
