Tianjin.

American Concession.

Kong Jie's trip to Tianjin, after leaving the concession, left the follow-up cooperation with John and other American businessmen in the American concession to Tianjin businessmen Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming.

After Kong Jie returned to the base area, it was clear that according to the course of history, after October, the British and American merchants in the British and American concessions would leave the concession one after another.

There was not much time left for Kong Jie to operate, so after Kong Jie returned to the independent regiment, he started follow-up cooperation with John and other American businessmen through Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming non-stop.

First, in a week's time, two batches of various daily necessities produced by the production factories in the concession were transported through John's transport merchant ships to paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army.

After these daily necessities were transported to Shanxi, Xu Qingnian's father, Xu Fenggong, came forward to receive them, and the two sides handed them over, received the goods, and paid for them.

On the one hand, there were American merchants, and when they passed through the water crossing, they would pay the Japanese army a dime to the toll.

On the other hand, Xu Fenggong, who had many contacts with Japanese businessmen and the Japanese army and won the trust of the Japanese, came forward.

In this way, there were two regular transportation of daily necessities, and after the Japanese army inspected that there were no problems, the Japanese army also opened the door to convenience.

Inspections of the goods transported to and from John's merchant ships were much less severe.

American Concession.

John's residence is a luxurious residential area with American architecture.

Deputy Joeforth is reporting to John on the progress of some of the business he has done with Kong Jie.

"Boss, these two material transportation are quite smooth, the Japanese army has carried out inspections, but there are no problems and they are directly released, I have also opened up the Japanese officers at the ferry along the way, If there is another material transportation, they will only go through a formality, and will never carefully inspect."

"In addition, after Mr. Xu (Kong Jie's pseudonym Xu Zijie) arranged for the handover, the payment was quite refreshing."

John nodded, took a puff of his cigarette, and as the smoke rose, he asked, "How is the investigation about Tianjin businessmen Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming?" ”

"The local businessman who did business in Tianjin in the early years did not find any problems with his identity." Joeforth said.

"Is that really the case?"

"The boss is suspicious ......"

"Forget it, none of this matters to us, even when Mr. Xu came to the concession, the robbery of the Bank of Japan vault that occurred outside the concession is related to Mr. Xu, and what does it have to do with it?"

Jofus wondered, "The boss still suspects that Mr. Xu has something to do with that robbery?" ”

John said: "I can't be sure, but this incident is too strange, not long after Mr. Xu came, the robbery happened, and after Mr. Xu and his party left, the robbery never happened again." ”

"Tell me, is there really no connection between this?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Joeforth said.

In these two transactions, thanks to Kong Jie's promise, Jofus made a good profit, and naturally had to say something good for the big financier at this moment.

"Perhaps!" John didn't refute it, thought for a while and asked, "Qiao, based on your experience of escorting Mr. Xu and his party back to Shanxi, what do you think Mr. Xu's true identity is?" ”

Jofus hesitated for a moment, then replied, "First, they are by no means Japanese, and second, they are by no means ordinary merchants and ordinary people. ”

The rest of Jörfoss didn't say anything, and the two smiled tacitly.

In addition, because of the recent robbery of the Japanese army's bank vault, I heard that the military commander in Tianjin has not been comfortable recently.

So what is the identity of Kong Jie and his party, the answer seems to be coming out.

"Boss, are you going to send this batch of arms in the cargo according to the list sent by Mr. Xu this time?"

Jollforth asked a little nervously, after all, the price of this batch of arms was expensive, but it was about whether he could extract a hundred percent of the benefits from it.

John smiled, "Send, of course, this time we will go in person to show our sincerity." ”

Joalforth: "......"

How do you get a commission?

"Boss, aren't you worried that our guess is true?"

John smiled disapprenousively: "What if the guess comes true?" From a businessman's point of view, I don't want the Chinese army to lose too quickly, you know, once one side of China and Japan is defeated, it will not be so easy for us to make huge profits from it. ”

"Then should this batch of munitions be prepared according to Mr. Xu's quantity?"

“no nono。”

John shook his head and said, "This is not possible, the risk is too great, I think we need to be more stable, once the Japanese detect that we are transporting arms to their opponents, this deal will not be completed, and it will even lead to fire." ”

With that, John looked at the list of munitions that Kong Jie had given him in his hand.

"2,000 M1917 rifles, 50 M1917 heavy machine guns, 20 M260mm mortars, Springfield M1 bolt-action sniper rifles, Browning light machine guns, ......"

"This Mr. Xu's appetite is not ordinary, he really regards me as an omnipotent arms dealer!"

"With such a large amount of arms, even I would not be able to get hold of it so easily, let alone risk transporting it to him under the noses of the Japanese."

"And if he can't give me a satisfactory price, I will never give him these arms."

Joeforth asked, "Boss, do you mean that you are not going to sell this batch of arms to Mr. Xu?" ”

John shook his head again: "This is an important way for us to make a fortune with the help of war, since Mr. Xu has this financial resources, why not sell it?" ”

"It's just that it's impossible for such a big deal to be reached at one time, Mr. Xu dares to send this list, and he must know very well that I will not rush to deliver this batch of arms directly to him."

"In this way, this time I will only prepare two hundred M1917 rifles, two M1917 heavy machine guns, three M260mm mortars, plus five Browning light machine guns, and ten Springfield sniper rifles."

"Wait until you meet Mr. Xu, and then see what he says!"

Joeforth said: "Boss, if Mr. Xu is really from the military......

"That's great, I like people with big appetites, are you still afraid of dealing with the military when you are in the arms business? That's our biggest potential customer, and they want our arms more than the Japanese, so we can make some fuss about the price and get the most out of it.

You know, behind us is the most powerful military in the world! John said confidently.

Having made up his mind, John boarded the ship with Joforth when the third transport caravan, two American transports, departed from the concession.

As for the small amount of arms that John brought to Kong Jie, they were carried in ordinary cargo.

The water transport was quite smooth.

This money is really everything, and Joforth has done a good job of counting the Japanese officers along the way.

Seeing that it was an American caravan, and it had been transported twice before, the Japanese officers along the way led the team to check it and let it go directly.

There was no awareness of the arms entrapped in the cargo.

It took more than a day for the caravan to reach Shanxi smoothly.

Joeforth came forward to get in touch with Xu Fenggong and secretly revealed the news that what was sent this time was more than just living goods.

The news was quickly transmitted to the enemy engineering department through Xu Fenggong, and then the news was delivered to the underground intelligence and transportation station on the outskirts of the root residence through the enemy engineering department.

Then the information will be transmitted to the regimental headquarters by the intelligence traffic station.

A series of intelligence was transported, and the news arrived at the headquarters of the Independent Regiment and reached Kong Jie's hands, and it took nearly an afternoon.

Secretly digesting the news passed on this time:

At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, John waited for Mr. Xu's arrival to discuss follow-up cooperation.

Head Kong frowned quite dissatisfied.

"I took John's merchant ship and rushed from the concession to the Yangquan area, the time should be in the morning, but the news reached the regiment headquarters at more than five o'clock in the afternoon."

"It took so long just for the message to be delivered."

"If the transmission of information had been delayed for a while, I would have missed this collaboration with John."

"Wen Jie, our intelligence transmission and communication capabilities are still too weak."

"It seems that the establishment of this intelligence and communication system has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Kong Jie had secretly agreed with John and other American businessmen to carry out follow-up arms deals, and Kong Jie had told Li Wenjie about it.

Li Wenjie said helplessly: "Commander, the establishment of a fast communication system is not easy, our communication equipment is too backward, and the number is not much. ”

"The seized radio station, as well as the communication equipment obtained from the repair, we dare not use it for daily message transmission for the time being, which is easy to be intercepted and deciphered by the Japanese spies."

Kong Jie said: "Forget it, let's talk about this later, I have to prepare to go to Yangquan." ”

Li Wenjie said worriedly: "Commander, Yangquan is the base camp of devils, is it too risky for you to go there in person?" ”

Kong Jie joked: "Don't worry, there are monks following me!" Besides, our skills are not bad, don't we just go to a yang spring, like entering a no-man's land. ”

"In addition, these American businessmen are not easy to fool, if I don't come forward in person, we may not be able to get the batch of arms we want."

Seeing that Kong Jie's attention had been decided, Li Wenjie didn't say anything more, but secretly explained to the monk that he must be cautious on the road and protect the head of the regiment.

In addition, a team was arranged to meet the guerrilla area close to Yangquan at any time, and Wang An, the person in charge of the enemy's engineering department, was asked to secretly notify the solid comrades of the enemy's engineering department and secretly take care of it.

After everything was in order, Kong Jie and the monk disguised themselves and secretly left from the root land.

By the time the two arrived at the gate of Yangquan County, they were already dressed as ordinary people.

In addition, the two of them got the certificate of good citizenship in advance, and the devils and puppet soldiers at the city gate checked it casually and let them go.

After entering the city, the monk Kong Jie did not delay and arrived near Fengxian Ju in advance.

This Fengxian Ju is a restaurant, which can be used by merchants to drink and eat food on weekdays, and it is also famous, although it is a lot of people, but it will not arouse suspicion.

There are also many foreign businessmen who come and go.

After arriving at the place, the monk reconnoitred around the restaurant in advance to make sure that there was no problem, and he and Kong Jie had been secretly waiting for the agreed time, and secretly saw John and Joorforth appear and enter the restaurant, and the two then entered the restaurant......
