Chapter 137: The Pontoon Bridge

Jiang Cheng returned to modern Shanghai with the gold packed in a wooden box, looking at the basement as it was, Jiang Cheng nodded reassuringly, and called Sun Ning's phone, "Sun Ning, what are you doing?" Available? ”

Sun Ning seemed to be in the company over there, with a quiet background, and said, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? I'm in the office right now. ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "I'm here to hand over the military order, our payment has arrived, you find a security company, transfer two cash trucks to me, and bring a few stronger security personnel." ”

When Sun Ning heard Jiang Cheng say this, he guessed in his heart what kind of valuables he was this time, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly used his authority directly, transferred two cash trucks, and found eight agents to pretend to be security guards and came to Jiang Cheng's house.

Jiang Cheng saw Sun Ning with Yu Na and two cash trucks, and praised with a smile, "I know that letting the boss lady get off work early has a future." ”

Yu Na glanced at Jiang Cheng with a blushing face, and Sun Ning said with a big grin, "Where is the thing?" ”

Jiang Cheng saw the few security guards behind him who looked quite strong and said, "Come with me, down there." ”

Everyone came to the basement together, and when they saw the wooden boxes on the ground, Yu Na curiously pulled Jiang Cheng and asked, "What are these?" When did you get there? ”

Jiang Cheng patted Yu Na's hand, Yu Na saw so many people, and quickly retracted her hand, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's all the money that our customers give us, Sun Ning, let the security brothers move the box up, I have already contacted the bank, just pull down the bank vault and put it away." ”

Sun Ning pulled it and found that this suitcase, which looked like it was only the size of a suitcase, was extremely heavy, and asked in surprise, "What is in here?" Why is it so heavy? ”

Jiang Cheng patted the box and pulled Sun Ning and Yu Na and said softly, "It's all gold, there are more than three tons in total, and a box is two hundred catties, come on, Yu Na, you go outside and stare at it, let's move it together." ”

Gold! Gold again. How can this Jiang Cheng have so many precious metals, Sun Ning looked at the box in front of him in disbelief, and at first noticed that Jiang Cheng was because of the sudden appearance of a large amount of gold, a large amount of gold had appeared some time ago, and now, how much gold is there behind Jiang Cheng, and why are they willing to continue to transfer precious metals like gold to China, these gold have definitely not passed through the customs, Sun Ning knew very well in his heart, if he wanted to figure out what was going on. The only way is to break into the group behind Jiang Cheng, thinking about the progress of such a long time, Sun Ning can't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

A security guard squatted down and lifted it hard, his brows furrowed, Jiang Cheng was afraid that he would smash the box, so he hurriedly shouted, "Two people carry it together, be careful." ”

Sun Ning stepped forward and looked at the box, which was a very ordinary wooden box. I wanted to try the weight, but my hand was stopped by Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't come, in case you get hurt there." I can't afford to pay for it, our company really can't do without you. I'll do it anyway. ”

Saying that, Jiang Cheng squatted down hard, blushed before he lifted up, and walked swaying. Sun Ning hurriedly supported on the side, so that Jiang Cheng just wanted to find a crack in the ground and turn in.

Looking at Jiang Cheng's embarrassing portrait, Yu Na and Sun Ning both laughed coquettishly.

Jiang Cheng crooked his mouth and changed the topic and said, "That's right." What happened to our pontoon? Are all the materials ready? Our buyers are in a hurry. ”

Sun Ning said while carrying the box with Jiang Cheng, "Don't worry, it's all right, it will arrive tomorrow, and you can take it away when you bring it." This thing cost us forty or fifty million. ”

Jiang Cheng stuck out his tongue and said, "Why is it so expensive?" ”

Sun Ning rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, this pontoon bridge is specially made, and it is so long, I still only need three, and there is no requirement for life, otherwise God knows how far the price will be." Anyway, how much is this gold worth, I'll estimate it. ”

"One billion, how about it, these businesses are doing okay, there are other payments in the future, you can help me run the company." Jiang Cheng said directly. As soon as he finished speaking, this number shocked Yu Na and Sun Ning fiercely.

The three and a half tons of gold were indeed moved slowly, and it was not until it was almost dark that all the gold was moved, and the disguised agents were so tired that they couldn't even lift their feet, and Sun Ning could only give an apologetic look.

Jiang Cheng watched Sun Ning go to the bank with the security company and the gold, Yu Na pushed Jiang Cheng and said, "You really trust Sister Sun Ning, you are not afraid that she will run away with one billion yuan." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, your man has the ability to earn more at any time, besides, isn't this a person with a security company." ”

Sun Ning took someone to put the gold in the bank vault, opened the box and looked, sure enough, it was full of gold, and an agent said incredulously, "Who is this?" It's really more than three tons of gold, how rich is that? ”

Sun Ning glared at him and said, "Do you remember the secrecy regulations?" Don't ask what you shouldn't know, check for any of the gold, or see if there's any special signs. ”

The agents didn't see anything, the gold was re-smelted by Jiang Cheng in order to remove the symbols of the Republic of China, so it was tabula rasa gold.

Sun Ning sighed and said, "Okay, forget it if you don't have it, such a simple flaw won't be given to us if you think about it." Let's withdraw. ”

Jiang Cheng and Yu Na came to the warehouse the next day after Wen Cun, and just saw Lin Fei coming out, Jiang Cheng beckoned and asked, "Lin Fei, has the box on the pontoon arrived?" ”

Lin Fei saw that it was Jiang Cheng, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Brother Cheng, it's here, it's inside, you're here just after you're busy, I haven't had time to eat yet." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Then you go to dinner, I'll solve these goods." ”

The design of the pontoon bridge is very simple, that is, some pontoons and the steel plates on it, put them in containers one by one, Jiang Cheng's current transmission distance is more than eight meters in radius, but it still can't be transported at one time, only half of it can be transported first, and the rest will be transported next time.

When Jiang Cheng returned to the Republic of China, the Japanese army had already broken through the Jiangyin fortress and began to attack Zhenjiang, the last line of defense in Nanjing.

After Jiang Cheng listened to Ba Shun's report, he said anxiously, "Go find Brigade Commander Zhu and Zhou Weiguo to see me immediately, we don't have much time." ”

At this time, in the Nanjing Headquarters, Tang Shengzhi was also nervously dispatching troops.

The Jiangyin fortress did not hold on to it for a month, but was captured by the Japanese aircraft and artillery after holding out for nearly ten days, although Zhenjiang also had fortress artillery. But compared with Jiangyin, there is nothing commendable about the geographical advantage, and Tang Shengzhi feels that it would be good to hold on for a week.

The Japanese army also began to divide its troops across the river to attack Taizhou, preparing to besiege the city of Nanjing.

Zhu Chi did not stop during this time, while letting the sappers of his troops hurry up to build the fortifications. While contacting his old friends everywhere, the result made him not know how to face Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhu Chi, who was a little embarrassed in front of him, and asked curiously, "Brigade Commander Zhu, what's wrong?" Could it be that something has changed? ”

Zhu Chi swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes and no, I found a few of my friends and classmates during this time, but I also found some people who are willing to do this, all reliable people." Most of them are my friends, but they have some requests. ”

When Jiang Cheng heard the request, he frowned and said, "What request?" Will the bridge be built and let them retreat first, or will I be the one to blame? ”

Zhu Chi didn't dare to look at Jiang Cheng and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't you know, this Tang Shengzhi has stationed military police in all of our troops, and we will let the military police know about any action we want, and the matter of building a pontoon bridge privately must not let Tang Shengzhi know, and besides, this position is built for war." It's a business affair, this pontoon bridge is yours, it's a private matter, and this public and private distinction still has to be obtained. "Say and talk. Zhu Chi himself was embarrassed.

Jiang Cheng still didn't understand and asked, "Brigade Commander Zhu said it directly, okay?" ”

Zhu Chi gritted his teeth and said, "This army has the rules of the army, and this is the cost of promotion, labor, and night. The battle fee is also necessary to buy the tea money of the military police, and the money for the drinks of the various commanders is also indispensable. ”

"This is a pontoon bridge for yourselves. This pontoon bridge has been built so that you can escape and survive when the time comes! Do you know how much money we ask for materials? You're still asking me for money? Jiang Cheng couldn't believe that this pontoon bridge would be the only way to survive in Nanjing at that time, and now he actually had to pay for it himself.

"Owner, we don't build it, what's the matter!" Ba Shun's temper came up and shouted.

Zhu Chi was also a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Jiang, I really can't help it, forget my share of this money, but the money below is really indispensable, no one will come to work without money, after all, we are doing private work, besides, Mr. Jiang, this is the only channel at that time, you will collect a little toll money at that time, won't this money save all of you!" Saying that, Zhu Chi also blamed Jiang Cheng in his heart, thinking that Jiang Cheng was too childish, how much money can be charged for this pontoon bridge, where is this pontoon bridge, this is the golden road.

When Jiang Cheng heard the toll, he almost wanted to laugh, he shook his fingers and didn't know what to say, sighed and sat down and asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

Zhu Chi stretched out a hand and said, "Up and down, a total of three million fiat currency." ”

"You've got it!" Ba Shun heard the urgent words, at this time, a soldier has a nominal ten fiat currency a month, but except for a few German armorers in Jiang's intermediary who can get this full salary, it is good that the soldiers of other troops can get two or three fiat currencies, three million, which is enough to pay a month's salary to the entire army in Nanjing. You must know that Jiang's intermediary gave the Eighth Route Army a promotion fee of only 200,000 yuan. This is true, Jiang Cheng is slaughtering as a fat sheep.

Jiang Cheng really had the idea of ignoring these bastards at this time, but he just thought of the tragic scene in Nanjing City in the future, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it, you will build a pontoon bridge for me immediately." After speaking, he looked at Zhu Chi and said, "This pontoon bridge must be built as soon as possible, if it is slow, my money is not so easy to get." ”

Zhu Chi nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, with this money, I can guarantee that Tang Shengzhi will not hear the news even if he is killed." ”

Indeed, at this time, the Republic of China money can be channeled, under the opening of money, two or three thousand sappers came to the river that night and began to build pontoon bridges, watching the pontoon bridges being assembled one by one, and then quickly extending to the other side of the Yangtze River, Jiang Cheng's mood became a little better.

On the construction site, the torches were as bright as day, and a sapper forcefully installed the screws of a pontoon tank, and laboriously handed the pontoon to the person behind him, and asked curiously, "Where did this thing come from?" Could it be that Chairman Chiang made preparations in advance? ”

The engineer squad leader next to him smiled and said, "Who the hell is it, ten fiat coins are in hand, and I can't stop your mouth?" ”

The sapper smiled and said, "Enough, enough, enough for me to go to the kiln, you said that Nanjing City is about to fight, but this kiln sister will not be closed for a while." The brothers are done, let's go and have fun together, what do you think? ”

A few sappers next to him laughed and catered to each other.

Next to Zhu Chi were several engineer battalion officers and a few guards, these guards were representatives of the direct bosses of these engineer battalions, as well as people from the gendarmerie, Zhu Chi issued bank slips one by one, and an officer waved a check and said, "This boss is really rich, I said Brigade Commander Zhu, how much money can this pontoon bridge make at that time?" The money we take won't let us spit it out with interest. ”

Zhu Chi frowned and said, "This pontoon bridge will only be used when there is nothing to do, if you kid dare to retreat without a fight." I'm sure the guys here will greet you with machine guns. ”

The officer arched his eyebrows and said, "How can I be, I will definitely fight the devil to the end, anyway, now I have the bottom in my heart." Don't be afraid. ”

Zhu Chi said warningly, "This matter is a top secret, everyone must rot this matter in their stomachs, especially not let Tang Shengzhi and Shangfeng know, if they know about it, blow up this pontoon bridge, not to mention our punishment, and there will be no way to retreat when the time comes." There is no place for everyone to cry. ”

Everyone nodded hurriedly and said yes.

In later generations, the assembly of parts was very simple, and a pontoon tank weighed only seven or eight kilograms, and a person could walk over and throw it into the water, and then fix it with a steel wire. Steel plates were laid on it, and the pontoon bridge was erected, and the speed was very fast.

Zhu Chi looked at this and saw that it was all made of stainless steel, and came to Jiang Cheng's side and said in surprise, "Mr. Jiang." This pontoon bridge is worth the old money, it's all good steel. ”

Jiang Cheng waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's about the price of a ton of gold, it doesn't matter." With that, he entered the room. In the room were Zhou Weiguo and Wang Yong, and Ba Shun was monitoring the work on the other side of the warehouse. Hearing Jiang Cheng's casual offer, Zhu Chi was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, and became more and more afraid of the ability of this legendary Colonel Jiang. It's not an empty phrase that money can be channeled.

In the city of Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi stood on a high platform, saw some fire on the other side of the river, and asked curiously, "What's going on over there?" How can there be a fire? ”

Several staff officers next to him exchanged glances with each other, and one of the staff officers stepped forward and said, "Report to Commander Tang, it is a troop training, and they are inspecting the river, and it is said that they are afraid that there will be Japanese spies smuggling across the Yangtze River, which may take several days." ”

Tang Shengzhi nodded and didn't doubt him, but just went back to the house to prepare to rest, after all, Jiangnan at this time was also cold.

"Wei Guo, look at it, there is such a big movement on this pontoon bridge, then Tang Shengzhi really didn't hear any movement at all, it seems that these people have really done things after receiving money." Jiang Cheng shook his head and sat down on the chair and said.

I can't even find out the movements of thousands of soldiers under my command, and such a commander and such a unit can win a battle, that's a big joke.

Zhou Weiguo said incomprehensibly, "Sir, we are making such a big fuss, will something happen?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, now Nanjing City is the king of the mountains without tigers and monkeys, and people who know about this pontoon bridge will not talk nonsense, after all, the less people know about it, the greater the chance of successfully crossing the bridge, Wei Guo, if I guess correctly, there will be chaos at that time, your troops must defend the bridge, I will give you as much machine gun fire as possible, and you must ensure the order of crossing the bridge at that time." ”

Zhou Weiguo saluted and said, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and let Zhou Weiguo go out, and asked Wang Yong next to him, "Has the organization been contacted?" What do they say? ”

Wang Yong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've already contacted the other side, and they will guide the people across the river when the time comes, by the way, I also told them to save the students and professors first, after all, those are our reading seeds, right." ”

Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyes and said, "There are still too few intellectuals in China, and I am reluctant to let them die, especially since there are a large number of students in Nanjing who are very potential, and these people will become the backbone of our country in the future." ”

Jiang Cheng stood up, looked at the pontoon bridge construction site built in the distance and said, "Everything that needs to be done has been done, the next thing is to wait patiently, Wang Yong, you take half of the team to the end of the bridge first, this bridge must be in our hands."
