"It's still not safe, you think, after receiving your money, I can't report you? If it were me, it would be ......."

Suddenly, the office phone rang, interrupting Chu Aiyun's conspiracy theory. Lin Xiuxuan deliberately waited for a while before picking up the microphone. Manager Zhang's unnatural voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Director, I can't find my watch, I don't know if it's in the office. So call and ask. ”

Lin got up and went outside, and saw his watch in the middle of the table, with the surface facing up. He went back to the back room and told Zhang Guangcai that the watch was still there, and he could help him put it away, so he didn't have to worry.

Lin hung up the phone, his face turning unpleasant.

"Lin, what's wrong?"

"Now it is certain that we must have been found by Lao Zhang somewhere, he called in the middle of the night, not for the watch, but to test whether there was anyone in the office."

"You mean, the watch was left here on purpose?"

"Yes, this is the mistake that people with no intelligence experience often make clever mistakes and naïve scheming, which will instead expose their intent to espionage. Just now on the slipway, I saw him wearing that piece of Swiss plum blossom, why did he put it on the desk in a blink of an eye? ”

"You mean, he originally wanted to spy at night?"

"Yes, I think he probably wanted to come to the factory at night to investigate, but he also wanted to test whether I was in the factory before he came up with these famous paintings; Maybe it's not the first time, and if he had been here at night the other day, he might have seen something. Actually, I felt that something was wrong with him for the past two days. Brother Ma told me that Zhang Guangcai had the keys to all the entrances and workshops in the factory. ”

"What then?"

"There's no way around it for the time being. It was already our luck that he realized so late that we were acting strangely, and perhaps it was just curiosity that he would not go to the Japanese. I talked to him a few times, and in my conversations, he hated the Japanese. ”

"Hating the Japanese doesn't mean that you won't take refuge in the Japanese, can you kill him and sink him into the river?"

Chu Aiyun puffed out the smoke ring and said lightly.

"At least not at the moment, if he can't wait for someone to come home, he will definitely come to the door, and things are easy to get bigger, and his intentions are not clear, maybe he can solve it with money."

Lin said and raised his wrist to look at his watch: "It's not early, it's time to go to the warehouse to load and unload parts." ”

"Aren't you worried that Lao Zhang came at night and happened to bump into us shipping those strange parts?"

"No, he won't come tonight, maybe tomorrow."

Lin said confidently.

"At least the locks were changed?"

"That would scare the snake. I'll let Xu Chong keep an eye on it. “

"Then you'll just wait and see how good I can do."

The two of them left the class office and walked to the slipway, where it was getting late, and the Yubari not far away was only a vague outline.

After 30 minutes, the shipment work begins. Shu Ping and others used a cart to send parts to the slipway, and Chu Aiyun took a low-light night vision device and began to manipulate the slipway into a crane to start loading and unloading. He had only practiced for a little yesterday, but he showed his talent for maneuvering the machine, and the crane was under his control and very gently lifted the large parts into the cabin below the deck of the ship. Due to the fact that after the air raid last night, the lights of Hongkou's houses and warships were controlled, and it was pitch black all around, and Lin did not even send Xu Chong to temporarily destroy the nearby street lamps as originally planned.

The drone has been observing the enemy, but the enemy on the Yubari has never noticed any movement, and Chu Aiyun's loading and unloading minimizes the sound of metal collision. The drone also did not detect anyone entering the factory through any of the doors. However, the drone found that there were many more motorboats near Wusongkou, and it was impossible to tell from the thermal image mode whether these motorboats belonged to the puppet army or the Japanese. This is a new situation, and there will be some troubles for the next fuel transfer, but for Lin Xiuxuan, as long as the fuel is in hand, it is a big deal to wait one more day and act tomorrow night. The enemy did not have night vision equipment, and the Meteor was easy to be guided by a drone and mixed out at night, of course, in order to be prepared, he still asked Lu Qingshan to prepare the final plan in advance to prevent the enemy from boarding the ship for inspection.

In the wee hours of the morning, the parts were loaded and unloaded. Now it's time to really set sail. Lin Xiuxuan and Chu Aiyun stood in the cockpit together, commanded by Chu Aiyun through the walkie-talkie, which was simply an exciting moment.

"All units have switched to my channel," Chu Aiyun calmly commanded while standing in the cab, "Is there a problem?" ”

"The voice is clear."

"Prepare the car."

"Over."

"Port side ready to skimm."

Thirty seconds passed.

"The port side rope is all free."

"Note, double anchor at the same time, anchor."

The left and right anchors rumbled up, and such a sound would definitely be heard by the Japanese on duty on the Yubari in front, but it was expected that it would not cause any trouble.

"Anchor clean"

"Take a step back. Right hand rudder 5.

"The rudder hasn't reacted yet."

"Don't worry, we have room to retreat. Backward 2."

The speed of the cargo ship gradually increased, and the bow began to move to the right. The Japanese would have been surprised if they had turned on their searchlights at this moment, and that the ship could have set sail upside down from a small berth in such a tight and concise manner with no lighting at all. This was what he had to guard against being seen by the Japanese, but once the bow of the ship was turned a few more degrees, the next movement was very routine.

"Parking. Okay, how far is Yubari? He felt the ship come to a standstill.

"155 meters."

"Enough space, forward 2, head push, half speed to the right. Sound the whistle and turn on the bow lighting. Say hello to the devil. ”

A dull whistle sounded, lest the devils in the vicinity make a fuss when they found out that the ship was missing early tomorrow morning. Sure enough, the searchlight on the Yubari turned on, and when he saw that it was the Meteor in operation and was moving away, he turned off the light. Originally, there were quite a few ships on the Huangpu River at night, which was not a strange thing, of course, if they got too close to the Japanese ships, they would open fire very decisively.

The boat slowly left the slipway and headed south for half a mile, then secretly turned out the lights and made a turn on the river. No one noticed the change, and the Meteor was already driving entirely on low-light night vision devices.

"In the forest, the drone found that there were several motorboats on the Wusongkou River, and they were patrolling the night boats with searchlights, and randomly boarded the ships for inspection."

"Got it, the situation hasn't changed much, and we're going as planned."

An hour later, the heavy cargo ship had already arrived at the appointed place, and then dropped anchor to wait, and the Soviet tanker had not yet arrived. The drone confirmed that the tanker was still approaching, and the Japanese patrol ship did not embarrass him due to the flying of the Soviet flag. At present, both Japan and the Soviet Union, out of their own considerations, want to maintain a false peace treaty.

Lin waited for 5 hours in this fork of the river, during which time there was not a single idle boat approaching, which shows that the place that Shell is looking for is still very reliable.

The Red Cossack, which arrived almost at the same time as the first rays of sunlight, slowed down on the main channel and then reluctantly turned into a fork. From the view of the drone, it can be seen that on its foredeck are stacked oil drums, which are finished oil filled by the USSR itself.

When the ship set sail, the war between the Soviet Union and Germany had not yet broken out, and it was only about the time it crossed the Suez Canal that news of the outbreak of war was obtained. For the crew of the ship, the next voyage was undoubtedly very difficult, the country was in a state of turmoil, and their families were under great threat, but they had to complete this voyage, and the Soviet government demanded that these contracts be completed without discount, so as to avoid offending Britain and the United States and other countries.

The Soviet ship, seeing the Chinese cargo ship from afar, did not immediately drop anchor, but sent Morse codes by light, inviting merchants to come to their ship to talk.

Adams would arrive in a few hours to collect the money, and due to poor communication, his grasp of the arrival time of the Red Cossack was very inaccurate, far less accurate than Lin Xiuxuan, who relied on drone surveillance.

Lin asked the crew of 419 to put down the lifeboat, and he only took Chu Aiyun and two people to row the boat to the Russian ship. He didn't bring the box of money with him, not because he thought he could settle the matter with his own incorruptible tongue. It's just that he thinks that it is not safe enough, so he can wait for himself to negotiate a specific amount with the captain before letting Lu Qingshan send it.

The Soviet tanker lowered the rope ladder, and he was the first to climb up, and several bearded crew members in striped sea soul shirts stood at the bow of the ship. They looked at Lin Xiuxuan, who was dressed decently, expressionlessly. Most of the crew members had big holes in their undershirts and seemed to have not shaved for days.
