Chapter 922: Unexpected Intelligence
"Brother Fa, that guy said. The attack was organized by a guy in the labor community called Bill the Butcher, who owned a small organization of more than 100 people. The reason for your assassination is to get rid of you and take advantage of the chaos to seize control and interests of the Manhattan docks. ”
After Barian came to Zhou Yufa, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, he told all the information he got from the former tough guy.
"I also got word from that guy about the church members who were hiding in Manhattan's labor community."
Zhou Yufa slowly opened his eyes.
"Assassinate me? And then seize the interests and control of the docks? ”
He didn't ask the church members about it first, but he wondered about it for a moment.
"Yes, Brother Fa."
Zhou Yufa sat up straight slowly with the support of his subordinates behind.
"Are these guys all tofu in their heads? Thinking that if they kill me, they can do whatever they want, it's a joke. ”
In this regard, Zhou Yufa despised it in his heart.
Because he knows the true situation of the Dao, he will infinitely despise the other party's plan.
Don't look at the dock is ostensibly controlled by the Manhattan gang, but in fact it is controlled by the intelligence department in private.
The reason why the Manhattan gangsters came forward to stand in front of the stage was just to make it easier to do something unknown.
After all, if a gang kills someone or something, it's completely okay to carry the black pot, isn't it?
Therefore, even if he kills himself, there is no way that there is a second force here in the docks that can control it.
Because the Ministry of Intelligence will never let such a thing happen.
If Bill does do this, then he will face bloody revenge from the Manhattan gang and a double whammy from the government.
At that point, unless Bill is Superman, he will never be able to handle it.
Besides, even without the backing of the Department of Intelligence, the Manhattan gangsters are now strong. There are so many thugs on the periphery of the muscular laborers on the docks. Isn't it a joke that the other party is going to seize control with more than a hundred people?
Only the brain-dead would come up with such a plan.
In addition to contempt, Zhou Yufa also felt that it was very unreasonable for the other party to do this.
After all, the strength of the Manhattan gang is so strong that anyone who is not a fool will see it clearly.
The thing of hitting a stone with an egg, only a fool can do.
Of course, there are great interests involved, and it is impossible to rule out that the other party will take risks for the sake of this benefit.
It's just that Zhou Yufa still feels that this thing is a bit intriguing.
"Good. It is enough to know who is behind the scenes. ”
Zhou Yu's expression was gloomy, and even a little hideous.
"You said you got some news about church members?"
Barian nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Fa, that guy said that Butcher Bill has frequent contact with some mysterious people. But the guy felt that there was a very peculiar temperament about these mysterious people, which made him feel like a priest or a priest. Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, I think these people should be members of the church. ”
Zhou Yufa didn't make a sound, but pondered.
Barian continued, "And the guy said that their boss, Bill, used to be a rude guy. But since coming into contact with those mysterious people. Isn't that a good proof that Bill often talks about the Lord? At the same time, those mysterious people rarely appear during the day, and are usually active at night. This kind of behavior has to be strange. ”
Zhou Yufa nodded slowly. I agree with what Barian said.
Indeed, the behavior of these so-called mysterious people is somewhat strange.
It's good, why do you want to be so secretive. And do you want to hang out at night?
It's completely different from the routine of people who came to Europe in the Americas to make a living.
Who is a European who wants to find a job in the Americas and support their families?
Aren't these people here for this purpose?
Case. So what are they here for?
This is self-evident.
Although there is no direct evidence, just based on these speculations, Zhou Yufa can also determine that these so-called mysterious people are related to the clues that the Ministry of Intelligence has asked him to find.
And, most likely, these people are members of the church.
"Did that tough guy say anything else useful?" , Zhou Yufa asked. Seeing that his boss was asking him, Barian hurriedly responded, "Yes, of course." The guy also said that the mystery men were not only in contact with their boss Bill, but also with many guilds and other societies in the labor community, and that he had heard rumors that many of the organizations that had recently sprung up in the labor community had been developed by these mystery men, or even formed by themselves. ”
"Grandma's, what are these guys going to do?" , Hearing this, Zhou Yufa stood up 'rubbing', and his expression was very hideous. Barian was also taken aback, but he still responded: "I don't know about this, that guy doesn't know much about these things, he just told everything he knows." ”
Zhou Yufa thought about it and felt that this matter was very important, it was useless to think nonsense here, and he should immediately report it to the intelligence department for them to judge.
Moreover, Zhou Yufa felt that if those mysterious people were members of the church, and the organizations in the labor community were established and supported by them, then these people had a lot of plans.
Based on the riots last winter, Zhou Yufa thought that it would be better to be cautious.
"I have important things to do and need to get out of the way. You continue to interrogate these three guys, and when the three of them really can't ask anything, give them a good time. ”
He needed to rush to the Intelligence Department as soon as possible and report what he had gotten, so he immediately began to make some arrangements for Barian and them.
"Boss, when are we going to take revenge on Bill the Butcher?"
Barian asked.
For them, the gangsters, now that they have known the main messenger of this attack, what they need to do is to immediately launch a retaliatory action to prove their strength and terror.
If you don't, it will be a shame.
At the same time, it will also damage the prestige of the Manhattan gangsters that has been built up with great difficulty.
Besides, the other party dared to assassinate his own leader. This is the equivalent of a slap in the face.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say nothing.
"Gather six hundred able-bodied brothers and assemble them in the dock warehouse. At the same time, we took out all our equipment and put it on our brothers, and I judged that if the information was true, we might have to deal with more than just Bill's 100-odd men. ”
Yes, if the intelligence is true, the organization within the labor community is actually behind it. So will their dealings with Bill lead to confrontation from other organizations?
This is one thing to consider.
Although Bill's organization only has more than a hundred people, the number is not very large.
However, if you add within the labor community. Dozens of gangster organizations, large and small. That's a lot of force, and even when they come together, they can reach thousands of people.
In addition, there is no construction plan in the labor community, so the roads are rugged, there are mountains of garbage, and there are many obstacles. It's like a dirty labyrinth, and in such an environment, it's a bit unfavorable for you.
Although they are gangsters, even gangsters need to pay attention to skills and the art of war, don't they?
After hearing this, Barian also nodded solemnly.
"Fa Ge. Six hundred is too little, right? If everything is as the guy said, we're likely to run into strong resistance when we go to Bill for revenge. ”
"Six hundred people are enough, and the environment in the working community is well understood. There are too many people who go, but it's not easy to get things done. So six hundred people is just right. ”
After thinking about it, Barian felt that what his boss said was very reasonable, so he didn't stick to it.
"At the same time, we reach out to the people in the labor community, so that they are also on the alert, and at the same time give me a grasp of the situation and the dynamics in the labor community."
"It's good. Fa Ge. ”
For the things arranged by his own boss, Barian agreed to them one by one.
After arranging everything, Zhou Yu'an was surrounded by a group of elite Indian guards. Left this warehouse.
As for the fate of the three attackers, who cares about them.
In this day and age, the least valuable thing is human life.
Since they have chosen this path, then they have to accept the fate below.
After all, they also wanted Zhou Yufa's life, but their bad luck just failed.
If they succeed, then what can Zhou Yufa say.
Of course, if a Chinese ethnic group is stabbed to death, it will definitely attract Zhang Tie's strong revenge.
You must know that on the side of the Song Empire in the Americas, the lives of Chinese citizens are above all else.
After leaving the warehouse, Zhou Yufa got into the carriage that had been prepared for a long time, and then disappeared into the night.
Behind the wagon, the warehouse slowly grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
Poor three captives, their bodies don't know what to do with them.
Whether to feed wild beasts or throw them into the sea, or to be thrown somewhere.
This is the 17th century.
Perhaps, one day some people will dig up three skeletons somewhere, but who cares how they died?
No one is going to bother with that.
This is the sadness of being a little person.
About an hour later, it was about nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Yufa's carriage came to a stop in front of the brightly lit Intelligence Department building in the inner city.
Cement bricks are stacked, and there are still many people working in the three-story intelligence department building in the style of a courtyard house.
Zhou Yufa stepped out of the carriage, because the movement was too big and affected the wound in his chest and abdomen, so his expression trembled slightly.
He stood there a little and took a deep breath, then straightened himself and walked through the door of the Ministry of Intelligence. (To be continued......)
