Chapter 280: Heading to the base
readx;? For the next two days, Manager Wren kept urging Sumitomo Japan to pay. However www.biquge.info Sumitomo Kai's safe was stolen, and the money placed in the Imperial Bank could not be withdrawn in cash, which made Sumitomo Kai's manager Yamamoto sad. Yamamoto had no choice but to repeatedly ask for a grace period for Reihe and the foreign company, originally thinking that the reiwa foreign company could be accommodating for the sake of the friendly relations between Germany and Japan, but he did not expect that the attitude of the rei and foreign companies this time was quite tough.
The three-day deadline passed quickly, and Manager Yamamoto tried his best to raise only half of the money, and when Manager Yamamoto came to the door with half of the money to intercede with Reihe & Co., Manager Ren ruthlessly refused. Wren took out the contract and asked Sumitomo Kai to strictly follow the terms and conditions written in the contract, otherwise Lihe & Co. would dispose of the cargo according to the terms stipulated in the contract and not refund the money paid in advance by Sumitomo Kai.
At this time, Sumitomo Kai really suffered a big loss, not only did not get any goods, but also lost an advance payment. However, Lihe & Co. also strictly follows the content of the contract, and Sumitomo Kai Company can't find any fault with Lihe & Co. In the absence of wanting to trigger a diplomatic dispute between Germany and Japan, Sumitomo Kaisha could only suffer this dumb loss.
One day later, Wang Haitao came to the office of the manager of Lihe Foreign Company again, and as soon as he entered the door, the manager of Rennes said happily to Wang Haitao: "Mr. Wang, because Sumitomo Club in Japan has violated the contract between the two parties, so now we can resell all the goods of this ship to Mr. Wang, this is the list of goods and quotation of Lihe Foreign Company, please take a look at Mr. Wang." ”
After Wang Haitao took the thick stack of papers, he sat on the sofa and looked at them one by one. The price given by Lihe & Co. is the price after deducting the advance payment from the Japanese side, and the total price of the goods purchased from Lihe & Co. last time is 1.36 million US dollars, which should be equivalent to 5.8 million yen in Japanese yen.
Wang Haitao has more than 2.4 million yen in his storage ring, and if all the yen is paid to Lihe Foreign Bank, then the rest can be paid less than 800,000 US dollars. After asking Manager Ren if he could pay like this, Wang Haitao estimated the space in his storage ring, picked out the urgently needed items in the Jurong base, and asked Manager Ren to transport the things he picked out to the rented warehouse, and the rest of the goods were transported to Guangzhou Port by steamship, and he would send someone to receive them.
Before Wren could agree, Paul interjected impatiently: "Mr. Wang, your request is fine, and we can waive all your freight in China, and we can also reduce the freight on your second ship of arms that will be shipped to Guangzhou." But can you give us the blueprints for the new tank you promised us?"
Originally, Wang Haitao had forgotten the batch of arms he had ordered from Germany, but now Paul's words reminded Wang Haitao. However, Wang Haitao immediately remembered a serious problem, that is, after this batch of munitions arrived in Guangzhou, he did not have time to go to Guangzhou to receive them, and without himself, it would be impossible for Longzhou to send these munitions to the 90th Army.
What's more, there is no one in Longzhou who can use advanced heavy equipment such as self-propelled guns, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and driving heavy armored vehicles. So Wang Haitao said to Paul: "Mr. Paul, there will be no problem with the drawings of the new tank, and when Lihe Foreign Company delivers all the goods to the warehouse, I will hand it over to you completely when I pay off."
However, as a friend, I would like to make a request to the Krupp Company, that is, when transporting the arms to Guangzhou, can you send some German officers and technicians to train my subordinates in Guangxi, so that they can master the use of these heavy weapons you have brought as soon as possible, and can form combat effectiveness under the training of the officers you have sent. ”
Wang Haitao's words made Paul and Ren stunned for a moment, and after the two looked at each other, Paul said: "Mr. Wang, your China is now at war with Japan, and you should know that we are very friendly between Germany and Japan, so I can only convey your request to the company, and the company's decision is not something we can know." Wang Haitao was also mentally prepared for the answers of the two, and after expressing his gratitude, he didn't say anything more.
The efficiency of the Germans was really high, and in only three days, all the goods needed by Wang Haitao were transported to the warehouse rented by Wang Haitao. After Wang Haitao counted the loans, he also paid all the money for the three large boxes of US dollars and Japanese yen to Lihe Foreign Bank, and at the same time handed over the prepared 59-1 tank drawings to Paul. Of course, some of the original technological things that are too much beyond this era, such as far-infrared sighting systems, night vision systems, etc., have been removed.
In this way, Paul was also like a treasure, and after a cursory look, he immediately put it into a lockbox, and under the protection of several entourages, he directly said goodbye to Wang Haitao and returned to the ship. Rennes was also happy to have completed a large deal. After Wang Haitao expressed his gratitude to Rennes again, Rennes said: "Mr. Wang, it is my honor to serve you, next time if Mr. Wang still needs the help of our Lihe Foreign Bank, just come to me, Lihe Foreign Bank welcomes Mr. Wang's arrival." ”
After leaving a squad of guard battalion fighters in the warehouse to guard the warehouse, Wang Haitao returned to the villa by himself. So far, the purpose of coming to Shanghai has been achieved, and the next thing to consider is to rush to the Jurong base as soon as possible. Wang Haitao sent another telegram to Tang Renli in Longzhou, in which he told Tang Renli that a batch of supplies would arrive at the port of Guangzhou within the next few days, and asked Tang Renli to send someone to receive and transport them back to Longzhou County.
In order to be able to use Lihe and the foreign company to obtain supplies in the future, Wang Haitao decided to leave a team of the reconnaissance battalion in the villa, and the task of this team was to listen to the movements of the Japanese army and do things according to Wang Haitao's instructions at the appropriate time. was about to leave Shanghai, and Wang Haitao asked Liu Shiping's family to come to the living room.
After Liu Shiping's family came to the living room, Wang Haitao said: "Shiping, I will soon take people out of Shanghai, and I don't know when I will come back after this departure, but this time I will leave a few people here, and their external identity is the bodyguards of the nursing home I invited, you usually don't respect them too much, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others."
If you have something important, you can tell me through them. Here is a sum of money, your usual expenses and salary, and this money is kept by you, because from now on, you are the steward of this villa. Speaking of this, Wang Haitao asked people to carry two wooden boxes, which contained 50,000 pieces of fiat currency and 10,000 pieces of ocean.
Liu Shiping said with some excitement: "The little one thanked the old man for lifting him, the old man can rest assured, the little one will definitely take good care of this place." After Liu Shiping and the others went down, Wang Haitao called the members of the combat group who wanted to stay, told them, and then left them a batch of weapons and ammunition and a radio station, and then they were relieved.
The next day, Wang Haitao and Liu Shiping's family, as well as the soldiers who stayed behind, said goodbye, and then took the rest of the soldiers to the warehouse. Wang Haitao asked the soldiers to stand guard outside the warehouse and entered the warehouse himself. He packed all the goods in the warehouse into the storage ring, stuffed the entire storage ring to the brim, and then left the empty warehouse.
After Wang Haitao and his soldiers separated, they left Shanghai, and then everyone gathered together in the suburbs of Shanghai, set off again, and ran straight in the direction of the Jurong base. All the way was occupied by the Japanese army, and Wang Haitao and the others were also very cautious in advancing, not only avoiding large and medium-sized cities, but also not daring to walk on the highway during the day, let alone driving a car forward.
Fortunately, Wang Haitao and the others are all well-trained soldiers, and after traveling day and night, it only took them more than ten days to reach Liyang County, and they are not far from Jurong. After more than ten days of continuous marching, even if Wang Haitao and his people were well-trained, they felt very tired. After the soldiers who went out to reconnoiter reported that there was only a small squad of the Japanese army and a squadron of the puppet army stationed in Liyang County, Wang Haitao decided to go into the city to rest for one night, so that everyone could have a hot meal and a good night's sleep.
When Wang Haitao and the others entered Liyang County separately, everyone gathered together in a time-honored inn in the city. Because Wang Haitao and they had been stationed in Liyang County for a period of time, everyone is very familiar with Liyang County. When everyone separated on the way to the inn, Tang Donglin, the commander of the guard battalion, was inadvertently recognized.
The one who recognized Tang Donglin was a scoundrel named Li San in Liyang County, who was not doing his job properly when Wang Haitao and they were stationed in Liyang County. Once, after Li San deceived a foreign merchant, the merchant was rescued by Tang Donglin and several soldiers when he was desperate and wanted to commit suicide.
When the merchant cried to Tang Donglin and told them about the bad fate, Tang Donglin, who was extremely angry, led the soldiers to search Li San from a brothel, not only recovered the property of the merchant that Li San had defrauded, but also beat Li San and drove him out of Liyang County. When the Japanese army occupied Liyang County, Li San took refuge with the Japanese, because he helped the Japanese grab a few times of food and did a few things that made the Japanese happy, and was named the captain of the detective team by the Japanese.
Since this Li San became the captain of the detective team, relying on the support of the Japanese, he gathered a group of ruffians and hooligans from Liyang City, and caused trouble and did all kinds of bad things in Liyang City all day long. On this day, Li San was eating and drinking in a restaurant next to the inn with his two men, but he accidentally saw Tang Donglin and his party walking in front of the restaurant.
Since he was taught a lesson by Tang Donglin last time, Li San knew that Tang Donglin was a major battalion commander and a figure he couldn't afford to provoke, but the idea of revenge was always in Li San's heart. I accidentally saw the enemy today, and Li San was excited in his heart. Li San was about to rush up and catch this Tang Donglin, but when he thought of Tang Donglin's skills when he taught him a lesson, he stopped timidly.
Li San's eyes rolled, and he had an idea, he pulled one of his subordinates and said, "Did you see a few people who walked over just now?" I saw them walk into Liu Ji's Inn, they are spies, you keep an eye on Lao Tzu here, I will report to the imperial army." If the spy is caught, everyone will benefit. After speaking, Li San walked out of the restaurant and went straight to the Japanese headquarters.
