Chapter 4: Fireworks Show in Greater Shanghai (Part I)

Since Zhang Anping's Shanghai special team came to Shanghai, it has not been a member in terms of funds - this group of rookies who came out of Guanwangmiao, although their means are immature, but under Zhang Anping's little bit of training, with the blessing of money ability, they still have established a considerable intelligence network.

Therefore, the investigation report that Zhang Anping needed was put on the desk four days later.

[Investigation Report on Japanese Purchases of Weapons]

There are three such reports β€” a waste of human resources, but also Mr. Zhang's assessment of three separate intelligence teams.

The Shanghai Special Unit was initially structured as a number of collaborative teams, but at the end of December, Zhang Anping made a drastic reform, reducing the number of teams into three intelligence groups (systems).

The first intelligence group was Group B with Yu Xiuning as the core, which used smuggled salt dealers as branches to form an intelligence network.

The second intelligence group is Group A headed by Li Bohan, which is supported by the Shanghai Cooperative Association and the three companies, and is currently the most powerful intelligence group of the Shanghai Special Group.

The third intelligence group is Group C headed by Xue Jingzong, which is the weakest, but it is directly under the command of Zhang Anping, and after the separation, it has received financial support from the special group, and the intelligence network has also been established on a very large scale.

Zhang Anping looked at the three reports one by one.

The results of the investigation of the three reports are the same, and the integrated force behind the Japanese purchase of arms this time is the Black Dragon Society.

In other words, it is the Black Dragon Society that really wants to buy arms.

In the Battle of Shanghai in 128, it was the members of the Black Dragon Society who provoked the war!

And now, the Black Dragon Society is encouraging the Japanese in Hongkou to form self-defense forces, and its purpose is self-evident.

Only a very small part of the funds for the purchase of arms came from the Black Dragon Society, half of which came from a number of Japanese "Co., Ltd." (which can be understood as limited companies) in Hongkou, and the other half was an enthusiastic donation from overseas Japanese.

That's right, donations.

The Japanese gathered in Hongkou were happy to donate money for the formation of the Self-Defense Forces and enthusiastically signed up for the Self-Defense Forces.

"There are no unjust souls under the atomic bomb!"

Zhang Anping's eyes were cold after reading the three reports.

……

Before learning that the Japanese were interested in this piece of arms, in Zhang Anping's view, this deal was a matter of ironclad, and the special envoy came only to buy and sell "legally" and to understand the origin of the matter.

So his attitude towards the envoy was:

You are an angel, you are awesome, and I am for you.

However, the envoy named Huang Ting did not seem to be forced to do this, and after arriving in Shanghai, he began to point fingers.

"I need all the intelligence on global trade – they're headed by York and Bianchi, right? Find out what they are in the U.S. for me! ”

Zhang Anping was stunned under the tree.

"Envoy, this ...... We may not be able to find out. ”

He knows more about York and Bianchi's old bottom than anyone else, but can this be said?

"Can't find out? Isn't your secret service engaged in intelligence? Those who engage in intelligence can't even find out such a thing, so what's the use of you? ”

Huang Ting shook his sleeves and left.

Zhang Anping looked confused.

In the following time, Huang Ting was all kinds of disgust and cynicism about the work of the special team, and even the special team arranged a meeting place for him and York, Huang Ting disliked the place and did not enter the stream, and said directly:

"Is this what the Secret Service is all about? A hotel is not good! Return! I choose the location! ”

This sentence made Zhang Anping wake up like a dream.

I, Nima, co-authored this grandson to "seize power" - this transaction was led by the special group, and Huang Ting, as a special envoy, has more symbolic meaning than practical significance, and to put it bluntly, it is a mascot.

So since this product came over, he has picked his nose and eyes, and he has all kinds of dislikes for the special group.

After realizing this, Zhang Anping was instantly furious.

Lao Tzu's hard work is to let the national government eat Lao Mei's inventory, and at the beginning of the first transaction, Lao Tzu was used as toilet paper?

At this time, I happened to get the information that the Japanese were interested in this batch of arms.

After Zhang Anping had the [Profiteer Plan], he planned to pit Huang Ting a little, so he took advantage of the preparation of the plan to start digging a pit for Huang Ting.

Since you want to pit people, you naturally have to hide a knife in your smile.

So in the next few days, he offered Huang Ting as an ancestor, and he did it to the extent that he responded.

Huang Ting also did not force the number, mistakenly believing that Zhang Anping, the junior spy of the secret service, had thoroughly recognized the situation, so he began to make various assignments - during the period when he was "stabilized" by York and Bianchi, this thing also instructed Zhang Anping to do something ingenious.

Here's how:

He had a classmate who he didn't deal with when he was a student, and when he met York and Bianchi, he happened to meet this classmate who had embarked on the road of business.

Huang Ting chatted with this classmate very enthusiastically for a long time, and said that he was on business in Shanghai during this time, and he would squeak at any time if he needed help - after this classmate left, Huang Ting explained to Zhang Anping:

Find an excuse to lock up the other party.

Zhang Anping is now "confessing" to this unlucky ghost, so he naturally wants to be a vicious accomplice, and immediately arrests this small businessman called Lu Xiaoyan and puts him in prison, and by the way, he is charged with fornicating with Japanese spies.

His original plan was to wait for this guy to be buried and let go of this innocent little businessman, but he never expected that Huang Ting's heart was extremely vicious, and after the Lu family came to the door for help, he defrauded most of the Lu family's property in the name of rescue and needed to dredge up the relationship.

If that's all there is, Zhang Anping can still understand, after all, corrupt officials are almost all this virtue.

But after defrauding the Lu family's property, this guy joined Zhang Anping to forcibly swallow the Lu family's small chemical factory, and turned around and sold half of the shares he held to Zhang Anping at a price of 20,000 yuan.

Zhang Anping almost exploded, this small chemical factory, the valuation at its peak was only 18,000!!

But considering that he was going to trap the other party, he endured it.

didn't expect this guy to be relentless, so he turned around and confessed to Zhang Anping, trying to find a way to get Lu Xiaoyan imprisoned for a long time.

After extorting the other party's money and property, and backhanding the other party to a long-term imprisonment, this kind of show reversal operation is the first time Zhang Anping has seen it.

Compared with other people's ruthlessness and poison, Zhang Anping, a dog spy, is simply a small thing.

Five days!

In just five days, a well-off family can be ruined, this operation is too ruthless!

Zhang Anping, who originally just wanted to pit Huang Ting and make him lose his position in the attendant room, has since changed his mind - he wants to pit the other party to death directly!

So, Zhang Anping laid a game for this benevolent brother.

After "stabilizing" Huang Ting for six days, after being urged by Huang Ting to be too anxious and even threatened to leave, York and Bianchi finally told Huang Ting that the Japanese were willing to spend 42 yuan to buy a gun.

York and Bianchi pit people are also very good, and after frankly saying that this batch of goods is "hat-wearing" attributes, they dare not sell to the Japanese, but they are reluctant to sell it for millions more as soon as they change hands.

The two said that the second batch of weapons would arrive in half a month, but the Japanese were in a hurry, and they were willing to guarantee Huang Ting, hoping that Huang Ting could sell this batch of weapons to the Japanese.

As for the profit, they want to divide it evenly.

Huang Ting was shocked by the millions of profits, and after thinking about it for a night, he felt that he would die for the bold and starve for the faint of heart, so he discussed with York and Bianchi, and he was willing to sell weapons to the Japanese if he took seventy percent of the head.

The reason why Huang Ting dared to do this was because he saw the shipping information provided by York and Bianchi from the American side, and it was determined that 200,000 rifles would arrive in half a month, so he dared to sell the weapons to the Japanese.

delaying the delivery date for half a month and easily taking away 700,000 yuan, such a sky-high benefit has made him lose his sense of danger.

York and Bianchi were naturally "unwilling" to give up the 200,000 earnings, but after a day of fruitless discussion, because the Japanese were too urgent, they could only endure the pain of cutting the meat and facilitate the transaction.

……

Night.

Global Trade Building, Meeting Room.

Black Dragon Society representatives Shinji Terao and Bianchi are negotiating.

"Mr. Terao, your bid does have a bottom line that is not on our side. If this batch of weapons is mine, for the sake of the friendship between the two of us, then we will grit our teeth and sell them to you without making money. ”

Bianchi said helplessly: "But this batch of weapons is handed over to us for sale, and the reserve price is also given by the United States, which is lower than the reserve price, so it really can't be sold!" ”

"What's your reserve price?"

"45 pieces."

"5% of it is our commission, and for the sake of our friendship, we are willing to give up 3% of the commission."

Shinji Terao's calculations were silent, and after coming up with a unit price of 43.65, he tried to erase the change, and Bianchi saw this and said:

"Mr. Terao, this batch of ammunition comes with two million rounds of ammunition and up to three tons of explosives, which I can sell to you at cost."

Bianchi handed a contract to Shinji Terao, who glanced at the total amount on the contract:

4.5 million.

Selling two million rounds of ammunition and three tons of explosives for hundreds of thousands is indeed a cost price – even a loss price!

"Mr. Bianchi, you are our most sincere friend of the Great Japanese Empire!"

Shinji Terao stood up and bowed to Bianchi sincerely.

Immediately afterwards, a deposit certificate of up to two million was handed over as a deposit, and the rest of the money was to be settled after the delivery of the weapons.

After the contract was signed, Shinji Terao couldn't wait to see the goods, and Bianchi naturally accompanied him throughout the process.

The two arrived at the warehouse with their entourage, and Bianchi accompanied Shinji Terao to inspect boxes of firearms.

Shinji Terao was very satisfied with the weapons.

Although it was second-hand, the maintenance was okay, and Shinji Terao even conducted a special test gun, and he was particularly satisfied with each weapon.

The only thing that puzzled him was:

"Why do you have to pack explosives into each container?"

"This batch of weapons was originally intended to be sold to various warlords, and a container is a unit, and this combination is to facilitate sales, but later the national government intended to buy them, so we canceled the plan to sell them to the warlords."

Shinji Terao was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "If I were you, I would definitely sell it to those warlords." ”

Bianchi smiled: "Mr. Terao is really a wonderful person! ”

After inspecting the goods, Shinji Terao settled the balance and began to transfer the weapons, while Bianchi said goodbye.

After leaving the warehouse, Bianchi, who got into the car, collapsed on the seat of the car, and forced his frightening to give orders to the driver:

"Drive! Hurry up and drive! ”

The driver didn't know why the boss was so flustered, but he still started the car quickly and jumped out all at once.

Bianchi gasped for breath and swore in his heart:

God, next time I will definitely not dance on the dynamite pile! I swear!

……

Go back to six days ago.

Zhang Anping found Xu Tian.

He got straight to the point:

"I need 30 bombs that can be detonated at regular intervals."

"30?" Xu Tian was stunned: "Why do you want so much?" ”

"Set off fireworks, set off a grand fireworks, Lao Xu, how long will it take to get them?"

Xu Tian looked at Zhang Anping speechlessly: "At least ten days." ”

"Ten days? It's been too long! What about four days? I can give you extra men. ”

"If you can't do it, others can't help you with the most critical link."

"Ten days is too long, I can't delay it for so long!"

Xu Tian thought for a while and said, "Six days, at least six days." ”

"Six days? Yes! Just six days! If you need something, you just ask. ”

Xu Tian said a bunch of materials, but the key is the clock, which is the key material to make a time bomb.

(I remember very well that there were no time bombs in World War II, and the time bombs created by the British in order to assassinate Hitler were also pseudo time bombs that used chemical reactions to complete the detonation.) But Xu Tian can make a time bomb in red, so let's follow this line of thought. οΌ‰

Zhang Anping agreed without hesitation, and turned his head and sent over the materials he needed and the many core members who were responsible for getting started.

Six days later, Xu Tian, whose eyes were bloodshot, presented thirty time bombs.

"Here's what you want."

Xu Tian calmly introduced his time bomb: "You can set any detonation time within 12 hours, because the charge is limited, and the power is probably equivalent to the explosion power of three German grenades." ”

Laymen may not understand this, but Zhang Anping, an expert, naturally understands what this passage meansβ€”in the absence of a clear timing explosive, create thirty bombs that can decide the detonation time at will within 12 hours, and say it with a calm taste.

This roughly means that:

In an era when the per capita income is 4,000 yuan, to put it mildly, I barely jumped to 40,000.

And then add by the way: isn't it easy to earn money?

This X is loaded, full marks!

But this X is ineffective against Zhang Anping - Zhang Anping, who has seen all kinds of detonation methods in later generations, how can he be frightened by Xu Tian's words?

He frowned and said, "12 hours, time is a bit tight!" Can the detonation time be adjusted to 24 hours? Or thirty-six hours? ”

Xu Tian: "In this world, I guess no one has this ability. ”

"So be it - this is not to be divulged to anyone."

……

Time goes back to two hours ago.

Arms depots.

Zhang Anping led people to the warehouse area, and in the name of the global trade security team, they began to "inspect" the guns stored in the containers.

Taking advantage of the gap where no one was looking, pieces of time bombs disguised as triple X (nitro) benzobenz (Trent) blocks were stuffed into the bottom of the container.

Not long after all this was done, Bianchi came over with Shinji Terao, and Zhang Anping hurriedly took a few henchmen to hide and watch the Japanese happily complete the purchase of this order.

The Japanese were delighted, because they took the purchase of 100,000 rifles at an extremely cheap price.

Bianchi was also happy because he had completed the task assigned by Zhang Anping.

And Zhang Anping was even happier, because the Japanese were going to lose all their money this time.

After receiving the munitions, the Japanese called for trucks to come and transport the goods, and one by one the trucks pulled away the containers and sent them to the "Japanese concession" in Hongkou.

(There is no single-country concession in the public concession, but if a certain place is inhabited by a substantial population of a certain country, it can be replaced with an X concession, so the area inhabited by Japanese people in the public concession is called the Japanese concession.) οΌ‰

Dear friends, although the daily increase has been 4,000 in the past two days, I still have a heart to ask for votes......

Tomorrow it should be able to resume two shifts.

When the time comes, the arrears will be counted.
