Adams smiled bitterly, obviously disliking the Japanese for breaking the rules of business and monopolizing China.

"You're also subject to them?"

"No, we are an exception, in any case, the Japanese cannot monopolize oil. They are king and hegemonic in East Asia, they can find everything they want, the only thing they can't find is oil, in fact, as long as we Western countries unite, we can strangle the Japanese. I'll tell you a secret, the latest news that President Roosevelt will be imposing sanctions on Japan this week to punish the Japanese for their reckless actions in South Vietnam. The sanctions clause is likely to include an embargo on oil, and they will have to suffer as well. The warships on the Huangpu River may soon be burning coal. We'll see. ”

"Oh?"

"Yes, the few people you saw just now are not customers, and the leader is the Japanese financial adviser of the Nanjing government, Tomo Fukuda; The accompanying colonel was called Kinoshita, the most dangerous executioner in Shanghai. They didn't come to buy oil, they wanted to buy the company's exploration in China. It's so shocking that no matter how brazen a person is, he would not make such a wishful and delusional request, as if asking someone to open a safe to show him, but the Japanese are really so direct that they completely treat others as fools. ”

"Do they offer any conditions?" Lin asked curiously.

"Of course, a lot of money, plus the self-righteous preaching of the Japanese. They think that half of China is under their complete control, and since we cannot share the benefits, we should know each other and cooperate with them and sell everything they want to know. Last night, they went to Standard Oil and had a nose to touch, and today they came to talk to us at Shell about these things. ”

Adams said a lot triumphantly, and seemed to gradually say something, of course, he was not very wary of Lin Xiuxuan being able to hear any mysteries.

"So, China really has oil." Lin asked.

"Theoretically, but that's all I can say." Adams said mysteriously.

"The Japanese have come to talk about these things before?"

"Never, this is where the common sense is, in the past ten years, they have spent a lot of money in China and Manchuria to explore oil and gas, but they are 20 years behind the advanced countries in terms of technology and theory, and all the investment has been wasted; As far as we know, five years ago, Japan abandoned its new onshore exploration program in favor of investigating the distribution of oil resources offshore the mainland. I don't know how I turned inland on a whim recently, and this time I deliberately asked Manchuria, as if I really heard something. ”

"So, there is oil in Manchuria?"

"Mr. Lin, you must know that in this world, mineral resources are always valuable; And the news may be priceless, and the so-called priceless means that the person who leaks the secret may put his life on the line. The governments of the United States and Britain will never allow oil companies to sell such news for profit, which would make the whole sanctions a joke; As for whether there was oil in Manchuria, only the highest echelons of the company knew. ”

Adams did not touch on the substance, but made a sloppy eye with his own cleverness, Lin certainly knew that these companies had known that China had oil for a long time, and the so-called fallacy of China's poor oil was secretly released by these Western oil companies in order to confuse potential competitors and China's rulers, waiting for the opportunity to obtain the right to exploit on the most favorable terms, and in the end, of course, it did not happen, Shell left China in 1951, and all assets were confiscated; It wasn't until many years later, after China became an oil exporter, that it returned to China, and in the end the calculations of those chicken thieves were rotten in their stomachs.

"Well, let's not talk about the Japanese, I want to know where the Soviet tankers were going to dock. I need a spacious place to load and unload. ”

"Do you know the place of Takahashi Trichax?"

"You know, the confluence of several rivers, there is a reed pond around it."

"We have some private deals with the police department of the Shanghai government, which is not controlled by the water police or the anti-smuggling squad, and usually the loading and unloading of smuggled oil is there, and as for the Japanese, no one can buy it, but their fleet never goes to those small harbors. Part of the refined oil can be directly transported to your ship's oil tank through the pipeline, and the other part of the filled oil can only be lifted by crane, which takes some time, and if you have skilled workers, it can be completed overnight. The people on the Soviet ship probably could not count on the fact that the crane operator on the ship, when he came ashore in Hong Kong, escaped. ”

"I have manpower, that's fine."

"If that's the case, that's great, good luck with our business." Adams raised his glass as he spoke, and Lin toasted the villain very perfunctorily.

In the evening, he returned to the shipyard in a motorboat and asked about the progress, and Shuping told him that everything was business as usual and that there was nothing to say. However, soon No. 419 raised an alarm, and a suspicious figure was spotted through the drone, riding a bicycle near Gate 2 of the factory. He hurriedly asked Lu Qingshan to bring a night vision device and hide in the dark to star, and after a while, Lu Qingshan reported that it was Brother Ma who came. So the alarm was lifted.

Lin Xiuxuan hurriedly returned to the office road and turned on the office light, in order to let Brother Ma find him as soon as possible. After a while, the stairs sounded, and Brother Ma appeared at the door, with a roll under his arm, much like a drawing.

"The door is locked, how did you get in?" Lin pretended to be surprised.

"I have the key to the No. 2 door, which was stolen from Zhang Guangcai 3 years ago, so you don't have to go through the porter to come in," Ma Xiaodi said, "You probably don't know that he has all the keys in the factory, I remind you, you should be especially careful of Zhang Guangcai, he is too familiar with this factory, nothing can hide from him for too long, and I heard that his wife's younger brother used to be a bag in the Japanese police station, and he is not a good person." ”

"I'll pay attention to this," Lin thought to himself, where do you know about our reconnaissance methods in the sky and on the ground, so don't worry about this idleness, "By the way, the drawings ......" He hurriedly asked about the matter.

"What you want, Mr. Hu has already gotten it."

Lin hurriedly cleaned up the folders and teacups on the desk, and at this moment, Brother Ma had already unfolded the drawings and spread them on the table.

"This is the three-story floor plan of No. 6 Chongming Road, the headquarters of the Japanese military police. The cell is on the top floor. There were 4 guards at night, 16 gendarmes downstairs, and twice as many during the day......"

"No, it's not here," Lin interrupted Brother Ma, "at the moment it can be concluded that the person is at the headquarters of the Japanese Thirteenth Army Corps. ”

Brother Ma frowned, a little puzzled, the person in front of him had just robbed the wrong escort convoy a few days ago, and he seemed to be very sure at this time, as for where Ma Qiang was locked, that was the information that Hu Yuexin had not yet obtained.

"Okay, this is the plan of the Japanese Army Headquarters on Disway Road," Ma Xiaodi neatly changed a drawing, it can be seen that this drawing is much more complicated, compared to it, the previous military police headquarters is too pediatric, "Mr. Lin, this building is simply a fortress, with four high walls, towers, power grids, barracks on the east and west sides, about one and a half squadron of defenders, standing 4 Vickers armored vehicles, 6 anti-aircraft guns, and it is impossible to enter without the strength of a regiment." ”

Brother Ma said worriedly, in fact, he felt that a regiment was too little, and the battle of 813 that year was still vivid. The Japanese marines and militia groups held the Hongkou stronghold stubbornly, and the national army invested more than 100,000 people to attack, including many well-equipped German armor divisions, which were not inferior to the Japanese army in terms of equipment, not only equipped with 150 mm heavy guns that could shoot at the Japanese fleet on the Huangpu River, but also tanks and henkel bombers, but even so, they could not overcome the strong strongholds heavily defended by the Japanese army. A week later, Japanese reinforcements landed one after another, and the tide of the battle was reversed. The stronghold on Disway Road was accurately bombed to the ammunition depot by the National Army bombers and almost became a ruin, but the 87th Division took a week and still couldn't overcome it. He had seen all these past events with his own eyes, so he had reason to judge that even if Director Lin had a well-equipped team and might still have some chance to raid the military police headquarters of dozens of Japanese military police commanders, it would be a fantasy to attack the headquarters of more than 200 enemy garrisons.

Lin ignored Brother Ma's worries about the troops, he held down the map and couldn't wait to observe. The map is marked in Japanese, and the description is very detailed, I don't know how Hu Yuexin got it, but with the observation of this fortress in the crematorium these days, this map is completely consistent with the geometric dimensions and the number of doors and windows seen from the outside, and the exit from the underground garage is the same as that observed by the drone. His heart beat dramatically.
