XV: Special Operations

Boss Li said: "Report on what work has been carried out. ”

The head of the office said: "Someone has been sent to contact the three cargo ships. After contacting, wait for us at Shimonoseki Pier. At the same time, we sent someone to contact the people on our periphery at Shimonoseki Pier and asked them to arrange reliable stevedores for us. Our people have all returned to the company, and the guns, ammunition and uniforms are ready. We had to get to the dock before the ship arrived. Finally, your documents and documents for receiving the goods are also ready, please take a look at them. Please instruct you after the report is completed. ”

Boss Li looked at the documents and a few documents and said, "Very good." These things were handed over to Sister-in-law Yang to bring, my car was in the yard, military uniforms, guns and ammunition were loaded into my car, and the finance prepared expenses for me. I, the driver, sister-in-law Yang and the director changed into military uniforms and got into my car, and after the car arrived at the dock, Sister-in-law Yang and the director got on the boat with me. Someone else rented a car and followed my car. After arriving at the wharf, they got on the bus one by one to change into military uniforms, changed into military uniforms, and entered the wharf as a whole to obey the director's arrangement. The telegraph operator stayed behind to take care of the radio station and guard the company. The whole crew immediately prepared and set off five minutes later. ”

After the foreign steamer docked at the dock, the captain was worried that there would be no one to pick up the goods after the surrender, and there would be no one to pay the transportation fees without the pick-up. He was about to go to the dock to understand the situation, when suddenly [***] people came to the dock. They set up a guard in front of the ship, and the captain was stopped by the soldiers. He was told that everyone was not allowed to disembark, let alone have any contact with the outside world, and was not allowed to speak to the outside world in flag language or sign language. Not to mention that people from the outside world are not allowed to get on board. This includes staff on the docks. Everything must go through the military.

The captain feared that the cargo on board would be taken over by the Chinese [***] side and confiscated as trophies. His shipping costs will be wasted. In Shanghai, he saw the army escorting the army's cargo ashore and driving the ship away. But they were some of the military ships of the Shoben. When he realized that his ship had been noticed by the military, he immediately pulled anchor and set sail. This was one of the reasons why he secretly left Shanghai and came to Nanjing.

He did not expect that his ship would be controlled by the military as soon as it arrived in Nanjing. Nanjing's receiver news is also too fast.

Boss Li sat in the co-pilot seat of the car in a colonel's uniform. He looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, and he knew that he was ahead of the curve. The whole situation was under his control. He said to the driver: "After I got on the boat, you observed the situation in the car, and if there was any abnormality, report it immediately." You go with the third ship, and you'll be notified when the time comes. ”

The office director in the military uniform of the major came out of the dock, he came to the car and reported softly to Boss Li: "We have completely controlled this ship. According to our people on the dock, no one knew about the arrival of the ship beforehand. They were ready, the stevedores were listening to our instructions, and our first boat had arrived at the dock. The other two followed. I went to the shore to observe, and I saw that the two boats were coming here, and I was relieved. ”

After listening to the report of the office director, Boss Li said: "Action." He got out of the car and strode into the dock. The chief of staff and Sister-in-law Yang, who was dressed in a lieutenant's uniform, followed briskly.

The army took control of the ship, and the captain anxiously circled the ship with his hands behind his back, and several men with thick shoulders and round waists had guns hanging from their waists. They looked viciously at the heavily armed soldiers. It seems that they will meet each other without giving money. Whether it was the pirates of Malacca or the German ships of the Mediterranean, they had competed.

Boss Li and his entourage walked on the ship to pick up the goods. The people on board immediately stood beside the captain, who looked at them unkindly.

Boss Li asked, "Who is the captain?" The bearded captain looked at him, and Boss Li stepped forward and said in a stiff Chinese language: "I am." Boss Li asked, "Do you have any documents or official documents?" The captain said, "Yes." I was carrying it with me and was about to go ashore to find someone to pick up the boat. He took it out and handed it to Boss Li. Boss Li read it and said to him: "Do you understand Chinese?" The captain said, "It's normal, it's easy." Boss Li smiled and said in English: "We talk in English." The captain happily said, "Yes, thank you." Unexpectedly, the [***] officer is very knowledgeable. The captain was very enthusiastic, and his face was full of smiles. But his mind was calculating the cost of his transportation.

Although Boss Li's subordinates have verified the goods on the ship, Boss Li still has to verify the goods on the ship again. This is the principle by which he does things. He asked the captain, "Where did your ship be?" The captain said, "Yes." They are all medicines for the army. It's normal for it to be received by your military. ”

Boss Li thought that there was no problem with the goods, and he was relieved. He said, "Do you know that Ben has surrendered? The captain listened to Boss Li's words, he was even more worried about his transportation fees, and his face pulled down and said, "I know." Boss Li said: "Who do you hand over this batch of goods?" Who did you contact when you came to China? The captain said: "I have surrendered, and I contacted the person who received the cargo in Shanghai, but I did not contact him." I came directly to Nanjing. Without the person to pick up the goods, my shipping costs have become a problem, and I am worried about this matter. ”

Boss Li said: "We are here, you hand it over to us, we are the squadron, and everything in the army will be taken over by us." You don't have to worry about your shipping costs. Do you understand! The captain and the men behind him seemed relieved. The captain asked, "May I ask you what kind of army you are?" Boss Li beckoned. Sister-in-law Yang opened her purse, took out her documents and paperwork, and handed them to Boss Li. Boss Li didn't look at it and handed it to the captain.

The captain carefully looked at the document handed to him by Boss Li, and after he read it, he said with a smile on Boss Li's face: "Welcome to your arrival, please come to my captain's room." Boss Li said, "No need. It's good here. The captain politely said, "Right here?" Oh good, okay. I have a request, I would like you to give me a copy of the paperwork with your signature on it. Boss Li said, "Yes, I've prepared it for you." Sister-in-law Yang took out a prepared copy and put it on her purse, and Boss Li signed it and handed it to the captain. The captain nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good." The next question is I want to know when you pay for the shipping fee."

Boss Li said: "Regarding the transportation fee, you can rest assured, I am willing to pay the transportation fee in US dollars." It's all cash. I think you'll be satisfied. But you must fully cooperate with the unloading. I'll come with three small steamers, fill one and I'll pay for one. Take a boat. I'll settle all the bills for the third ship after it's loaded, and then you let my ship go. How about it, rest assured. ”

The dollar has a great attraction for captains. He hated to get his hands on it right away. He couldn't control his excitement and raised his eyebrows and asked, "When is the homework?" My time is precious, and I don't want to waste too much time here. "Boss Li knows that in this extraordinary period, he is afraid that things will change. He wanted to take the dollar and leave quickly. Boss Li said: "The Anti-Japanese War has been won, and my time is more precious than yours." Tell your people to do their homework now. Unloaded overnight. Eat in shifts when eating. Before dawn, it must be done at half past four in the morning. If you can't complete it, I'll deduct the fee. ”

The captain saw that Boss Li spoke so simply, presumably he must be happy to do things, he was completely relieved, he said, "Okay, it's decided." Overnight homework takes turns to eat. I promise to finish my homework before dawn.

"But I have one more request, the cost of the dock must be the army's according to the original statement, and now you will bear it. I give in return. You will be satisfied. Boss Li said: "My first ship has arrived, and the stevedores are ready, please start the operation immediately." If you finish your work within the time I have set and you can leave the dock immediately after you have paid the transportation fee, then the cost of the dock will be half of the cost of the dock. The captain said, "Half of the family?" There is no room for negotiation. ”
