"Boom, boom, boom, ??????".

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Zhenlei and the others watched large fireballs rise in the sky above the Sixteen Mile Pu Wharf in the distance, followed by a thunderous explosion, which sounded like popping beans one after another, and then the earth shook.

There are so many munitions in the dock warehouse that all the weapons of murder on the battlefield in the world today can be found in that huge warehouse. If it weren't for the lack of people coming this time, if it weren't for the fact that there were only about 20 carriages, Xiao Zhenlei really wanted to empty all the munitions in the warehouse, but he couldn't move it, and since he couldn't move it, and he couldn't leave it to the foreigners, he could only blow it up.

The fire on the wharf was blown by the wind on the Whampoa River, and the fire spread to the whole wharf, and it didn't take long for the wharf to burn red, and the ten guards who had been caught were also buried in the fire.

It didn't take long for the entire French Concession to be in a commotion, and the police cars and more than a dozen fire trucks from the patrol house rushed to the gate of the wharf, but they could only look at the fire and sigh, the fire was too big!

Hearing the siren honking at the wharf, Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at this time they drove the carriage into the Huangpu Road of the public concession not long ago, if it was a little later it would be blocked in the French Concession by the patrols of the French Capture House, and if you want to escape, you can only break in, and now enter the Public Concession, the French will be out of reach, if you want to pursue, you must communicate with the public concession authorities to strive for cooperation, but this will take time, it is estimated that when the public concession begins to quit smoking, they have already left the public concession.

Mailan, who was sleeping soundly in the villa with his lover in his arms, was woken up by a rapid ringing of the phone, and he got up to answer the phone with a curse in his mouth. Extremely impatiently, he said: "Who? ”

The anxious voice of Assistant Inspector Lapier came from the phone: "Chief Inspector Mailan, something has happened, something has happened??????

Mylan was very upset when she was woken up, and interrupted with dissatisfaction: "Lapier, do you know that it is very rude to disturb someone else's sleep in the middle of the night? ”

Lapier: "??????"

Mylan saw that Lapier did not speak. Thinking that he had been taught a lesson, he did not get angry anymore, so he asked, "Well, what is going on, is there anything you can't handle that you have to wake me up so late?" ”

Lapier said in a deep voice, "Chief Merlan. I'm afraid you can't come forward in this matter, there was an accident at the Sixteen Mile Pu Wharf, half an hour ago, there was a violent explosion at the Shivi Lipu Wharf, and the entire Wharf was shrouded in a sea of fire. I have already informed the Chief Executive of the Board of Directors Madière and the other directors of the Board of Directors and made many phone calls to inquire about your number, so I hung up the phone and immediately went over and waited for you at the docks, preferably before the directors and other directors arrived."

There was a busy sound on the phone, and Mai Lan held the phone in a daze, and it took a long time to react, and he immediately dropped the phone and began to get dressed. A stunner beside him said in a greasy voice: "Oh, dear, what are you doing when you get up so late?" ”

"Something happened. I have to rush back, you rest, contact another day! ”

Merlan's luck was good, he was fast enough, and when he arrived at the docks, the chief director and other directors of the public board had not yet arrived. Only Assistant Inspector Lapier was directing the firefighting and salvage cargo, but in fact there was not much to be recovered from the salvage cargo. The patrolmen and the fire brigade are just making a show for the bigwigs and the shippers.

After this incident, I don't know how many rich people, bosses, and managers want to hate Xiao Zhenlei and others to death. After all, the goods on the dock are theirs, and even if the dock is convenient, it is estimated that it will not be compensated in full, and it is just a matter of giving a few money, or they themselves have to bear most of the losses, especially for the major foreign banks, their goods here are the most, and their losses are the greatest.

After getting out of the car, Mai Lan looked at the raging fire in the dock, and his face became extremely strict, although he was not primarily responsible for this matter, but the boss would definitely give him a time limit to solve the case, this case was too big, mainly because the loss was too huge.

Walking up to Lapee, who was commanding, Mylan asked in a deep voice, "Lapier, how is the situation?" ”

Seeing that it was Mailan, Lapierre saluted and said, "Basically, there is nothing left left, and we are just personnel!" ”

Mai Lan thought for a while and ordered: "Try to extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire as quickly as possible, and then send the criminal department to take over the case for investigation, I will know before noon tomorrow whether this is someone deliberately setting the fire, or some other reason!" ”

"Got it!"

It didn't take long for the French Concession Board of Directors to be the chief director of the Board of Directors, the chief director of the French Concession, the deputy director of the board of directors, Dière, Ecald, Jurdan, Mattu, Camorra, Patilre, and others also rushed over. Madière, the general director, and the other directors were very angry about this matter, because they were also the ones who suffered losses, and who would cry for such a big loss? This is only their own loss, what about other people's, especially the losses of foreign banks in various countries?

The directors lost their temper and left, leaving a one-week deadline to solve the case, or else the order to roll up the bill and get out of the way, much to the bitterness of Mellan and Lapierre.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Zhenlei, Wang Yaqiao and their entourage drove more than 20 horse-drawn carts loaded with guns and ammunition, and dragged two Krupp 75-mm mountain guns and eight Makqin heavy machine guns to the Baoshan construction site.

This operation was very smooth, thanks to precise planning and thorough execution, in order to save the day in the face of a crisis, this operation also benefited Wang Yaqiao and others a lot, and since then there have been some experience in action.

The disturbances caused by this operation are not insignificant, and the French Concession authorities and the major foreign banks will certainly not just settle it down, and the investigation is inevitable, and it will definitely be intensified, both openly and covertly. In order to leak the secret anyway, Xiao Zhenlei discussed with Wang Yaqiao, and brought all the team members who participated this time back for secret training, and they were not allowed to go out alone for at least a few months, and all the weapons, equipment and ammunition that were snatched back were stored separately and sent to be guarded, without Xiao Zhenlei's consent, no one could approach the storage point.

When Xiao Zhenlei and the others came over, the eagle had already returned, and after dealing with the matter of weapons and ammunition, he called the eagle to inquire, and the others were also notified to rush over for a meeting.

After all the personnel arrived, Xiao Zhenlei said: "Tonight, we can be said to have pierced the sky, robbed the arms warehouse of the Sixteen Lipu Wharf, and burned the wharf, the French Concession authorities will definitely go crazy, and it is certain that the black and white Dao will send people to investigate, so you must be careful and careful outside, and do not leak a word related to this operation, otherwise we will be in big trouble!" ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and the eagle said: "After this time, we have weapons and ammunition, but if we train on a large scale, just target training will make a lot of movements, how to solve this matter?" There is also a large-scale recruitment of guards, which will definitely alarm the government, which is also a troublesome matter, and how do we explain the origin of the firearms? ”

After listening to the eagle's words, everyone else thought that these were necessary to consider and formulate a response plan, and everyone present knew Xiao Zhenlei's plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but at least now he can't drink the government to turn his face, and he doesn't have the capital to turn his face with the government, so he can only deal with the Qing court before his wings are full.

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Regarding the matter of firearms training, I am going to find the government to buy a mountain, field training is carried out in the mountain, usually indoors, after the factory building is completed, there will definitely be more workshops, we will make some arrangements, try to make the workshop soundproof." Don't be careful about the large-scale expansion of the escort team, although we will make an area where outsiders are not allowed to enter, and at the same time send most of the secret recruits to the mountains for training, as for the source of the firearms, I will go to the county order tomorrow and ask him to approve the slip to allow our factory guards to buy a batch of firearms for self-defense, so that the above many problems will be solved, do you have anything else to say? ”

Next, Song Shijie and Fan Zhiyong successively expressed some opinions and suggestions, and Xiao Zhenlei discussed with them, and if it was feasible, it would be adopted, and if it didn't work, it would be temporarily shelved.

In the end, the matter was basically decided, Xiao Zhenlei remembered that the eagle went to solve Cao Gaitian's matter, so he asked: "Eagle, how is Cao Gaitian's matter handled?" ”

The eagle said: "Aren't you worried about my errands?" When I got there, Cao Gaitian was having a big feast, he was killed by me, most of the hundreds of gangsters also died, and more than 200 other people surrendered, I thought that even if we wiped out all those gangsters, it is estimated that there will be new gangsters to replace them soon, rather than this, it is better to keep them, as long as they are obedient, in this way, we can also let them suppress other gangsters in the local area, prevent other gangs from growing, and also find out all kinds of news! ”

Everyone fell into deep thought after listening to the eagle's words, Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and asked, "Can you control and control them?" After all, you are using force to make them have to surrender, they may be honest in a short period of time, and there may be problems after a long time, but this method is also feasible as long as it is operated properly, and there is a force deterrence, and give them some favors and benefits, after all, there is a bundle of interests to last a long time! ”

Eagle nodded and said: "I think so too, I disrupted their previous organizational structure, and then reorganized, now they have a strict hierarchy between superiors and subordinates before, but they check and balance each other, I think they shouldn't dare to risk losing their heads!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei listened and agreed: "Okay, that's it, you have to be more careful about those gangsters, you must control them, don't let them bite us in turn!" ”

"Understood!" (To be continued) R466
