Chapter 174: Eventful
Boss Dai knew Xu Zhongyi's identity.
Therefore, when his subordinates sent him a telegram of "asking for merit" from the Special Second District, he was stunned for a few seconds.
Besides, this doesn't look like a nephew's style of doing things - a little bit of a big achievement, just ask for instructions?
It's not a nephew's temperament at all!
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Moreover, he remembered very well that things were in the hands of the underground party, and his nephew was embarrassed to report to himself because of this - how could it be in the hands of the "traitor" Xu Zhongyi?
Unless......
Kill with a knife!
But if the nephew does such a thing, he won't show off!
Is there something else going on?
After thinking for a while, Boss Dai realized that this telegram from his nephew was probably not a so-called request for credit, but to let people know that he had done this?
"This stinky boy, even I command it now!"
Boss Dai scolded angrily.
He understood the meaning of this telegram of "asking for merit": the nephew is trying to make himself public!
"The stinky boy doesn't know who he's calculating! Let me publicize it here, there must be someone he wants to investigate here in Chongqing - hmph, don't report this kind of thing to me! ”
Although there were all kinds of "dislikes", Boss Dai immediately gave instructions, personally went to the attendant's room to report the results of the counterfeit banknote case, and specially held a commendation meeting at the bureau headquarters to commend the special second district for regaining the important machines and people that the traitors had stolen from the guerrillas.
And he almost said blatantly:
Learn smarter, learn from my nephew, you can also use this way of killing people with a knife to oppose communism!
The military commanders are all smart people, and they naturally have the meaning of Boss Dai's commendation.
……
After the commendation meeting of the bureau headquarters reached Zhang Anping's ears, Zhang Anping smiled, Boss Dai deserves to be Boss Dai, his meaning is so vague, he really understands everything, and cooperates so tacitly!
Now, that Mesping should have received the news!
That's right, the purpose of his request for credit is to let the news leak.
Boss Dai's cooperation is even more exaggerated than he imagined - as long as you are a caring person, you will definitely receive the news!
And the Wang family, who is preparing to defect, how can he not be a person with a heart?
This incident is also quite coincidental - the Wang system is such a huge system, they actually don't pay attention to the counterfeit banknotes, and the real heart is the Wang department sent out to contact the Japanese Mesping!
But Zhang Anping didn't know, he thought that Mei Siping was the person in front of the platform, and it was Zhou Fohai who was really tempted.
If Xu Zhongyi hadn't just appeared in the office of the extra-high class mosa, Mei Siping might not have known about this matter.
But whatever the coincidence, the current situation is that Mespin knows about it!
And Mesping's brokers also encouraged Mesping to do it.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mesping did not resist the temptation of the "money-making machine" after all.
But after all, Mesping was an outpost for the Wang family, and he didn't dare to delay the Wang family's traitorous affairs because of his own personal affairs, so he accepted the broker's suggestion, and while cooperating with Xu Zhongyi, he also looked for a partner in the Qing Gang - so that after the three took over the money-making machines and workers, he could coordinate the two sides and maintain profits.
As long as the Wang family is completely treasonous, he can use the power of the Wang family to eliminate the partners and monopolize the money making machine himself.
It's so beautiful that it's fried!
While looking for a partner in the Green Gang forces, Mei Siping also had to find a way to "support" Zhang Shihao - because this person was too dangerous, Mei Siping was worried that Zhang Shihao was there, and the tripartite alliance might not be able to seize the target.
At the same time, he also had to determine whether Zhang Shihao had destroyed things through the relationship between the military commanders.
If Zhang Shihao destroys something, then he will be a joint fart!
With this inquiry, Boss Dai's arrangement took effect.
Mesping got the following message:
1, Zhang Shihao really got the machine;
2. Within the military command, there is a controversy over whether to directly destroy the machine - Zhang Shihao suggested destroying and exterminating the mouth, but some people within the military command thought that the machine could be destroyed, but the team must be sent to Chongqing, and they planned to do the opposite, using this team to see if they could counterfeit the yen.
Typical Kou can go to me or me!
[I want the machine, and the team of counterfeiters also wants it, how can I destroy it!] 】
Mesping was in a hurry, and immediately sent a telegram to his friends in Chongqing, and contacted the financial system and the banking system through his connections, so that they could join forces to put pressure on the military commanders.
The reason is simple, the banking system and the financial system, want to master the right to mint money!
At the same time, in order to "support" Zhang Shihao, Mei Siping sent another message to the Wang family, claiming that Zhang Shihao might have found clues about his contact with the Japanese, and hoped that the Wang department would take action and temporarily "support" Zhang Shihao, so as to create an opportunity for himself to meet with the Japanese safely.
Wang was immediately anxious after getting Mesping's report.
Zhang Shihao's ability is against the sky, if he finds out, it will be troublesome!
They began to think of ways to "support" Zhang Shihao.
Soon, two poisonous schemes came out:
1. Leak to the Japanese the details of the rifles that the U.S. arms group wants to sell to the Nationalist Government under the Sino-US arms purchase agreement, and leak the details to the Japanese.
2. Convey to the chamberlain the chamber through the Central Unification that the Japanese want to sabotage the arms procurement.
Wang, who always procrastinates in doing things, has completed the two-way "rush" of these two poisonous schemes with a very fast speed this time.
After the Central Commander reported the matter to the chamberlain, Boss Dai, the military commander, was immediately summoned by the captain and asked Boss Dai's forces in Shanghai to ensure the smooth conclusion of the third transaction.
The captain's order has always been the highest priority here in Boss Dai, even if he knew that his nephew might be making arrangements at this time, he still sent a report to his nephew:
It is necessary to ensure the security of the negotiations between the secret delegation and the arms dealers, and to ensure the smooth conclusion of the transaction!
……
Before the order of the bureau headquarters came, Zhang Anping finally "found" Mesping's traces!
As early as before, Zhang Anping found out that Mei Siping was negotiating with the Japanese as a representative of the Wang family.
Because the political power of the Wang family was too huge, Zhang Anping did not dare to gamble, so he did not report to the bureau headquarters, but only ordered someone to secretly monitor Mesping.
At the same time, he prepared a "fishing plan" and wanted to catch Mespine to take the bait.
But the people he sent to Chongqing came with the news:
Mespin is missing!
Of course, the official version is not missing, but sent on a mission.
In order not to startle the snake, the monitoring team did not dare to investigate Mespin's whereabouts openly, so they could only investigate in secret.
As a result, they have not been able to obtain Mespin's whereabouts.
No one can even be found, let alone monitored.
The so-called mountains and rivers have no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village - just when the monitoring team is helpless, it is finally discovered that Mesping and his friends are in contact with telegraph.
After secretly investigating the source of the telegram, Shanghai was locked!
When the news came, Zhang Anping immediately ordered the second district to track it down through the telegraph office in Shanghai.
But what he didn't expect was that the investigation of the parallel traces of Metz had not yet yielded results, so he waited for a telegram from the bureau headquarters.
Not one, but two!
The first asked Zhang Anping to protect the secret delegation and ensure the smooth progress of the third arms deal.
The second asked Zhang Anping to send the counterfeit money machine and workers to Chongqing.
Two telegrams were sent at the same time - the first was a telegram from Boss Dai, and the second was a telegram from the bureau headquarters, although both had the name of Boss Dai, but the meaning was completely different.
[Wang's department made a move? This is to break me apart! 】
Zhang Anping immediately realized the reason for the first telegram - there was not much anger, a group of traitors, what could they not do? Leaking arms purchases to the Japanese is really not a big deal for traitors who have no bottom line!
[Just use this reason to implicate the Wang family, don't let Yandian appear!] 】
Zhang Anping immediately began to contact the delegation that had secretly arrived in Shanghai through the secret words attached to the telegram.
The purchase of millions of rifles is the top priority of the Nationalist government, and although Zhang Anping facilitated this matter, he has hidden his credit and fame, and even after the completion of the first transaction of global trade, he was kicked out of the cooperation list by American businessmen.
The follow-up transactions were kept confidential throughout the process, and although Zhang Anping could find out if he inquired, he did not investigate.
After joining the delegation urgently, he learned about the follow-up transaction and the current predicament of the delegation.
Actually, the Japanese have long intervened!
Moreover, the Americans did it themselves!
Before the Battle of Songhu, the two sides had only traded twice, and a total of 400,000 rifles were traded.
After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the Nationalist Government increased the number of transactions, hoping that American "friends" could trade more weapons at one time!
But the Americans clearly regretted it!
But because the Nationalist Government pressed half of the money last time, the Americans were forced to negotiate the contract, but they still moved their minds - the first transaction after the Battle of Songhu only delivered 100,000 rifles!
After a confrontation between the two sides, the Nationalist Government admitted and paid the final payment of the previous transaction and half of the total amount of the transaction this time.
This is simply the fact that the Americans deliberately cheated the national government for the final payment, because the Americans have now raised the price!
On the basis of the original price, it has directly tripled!
With such a huge price increase, the balance of the 100,000 rifles did not matter—and in order to force the Nationalist government to agree, American businessmen secretly approached the Japanese.
Naturally, the Japanese do not really want to buy weapons - tens of thousands can be discussed, but hundreds of thousands or millions of rifles of non-Japanese military standards, they naturally do not want them.
But they are still willing to add blockage to the national government, and even if the price is right, they really don't mind taking it.
The delegation was thus stuck.
The most critical thing is that someone on the American side has privately revealed that the Japanese are already investigating the delegation's information.
The American businessman who leaked the news said that the Japanese could be bad for the delegation!
The threat is beyond words!
Zhang Anping did not expect that the arms procurement he had painstakingly completed would be played like this by the Nationalist Government - you must know that in order not to be robbed by the Americans, he instructed the global trade side to find a way to completely complete all transactions within a year.
The result?
So far, the Nationalist Government has only obtained 500,000 rifles - before the Battle of Songhu, it was the Americans who urged them to hurry up and trade, and after the Battle of Songhu, the status of both supply and demand changed, and the Americans really took advantage of the fire to rob!
"It's ......"
Zhang Anping's face was helpless, he always thought that this military purchase had come to an end, but he didn't think that it would only be half carried out now!
"What an eventful season!"
Zhang Anping sighed helplessly, this matter seems to involve his energy!
"This knife really poked my life!"
"Mespin!"
Zhang Anping chanted the name fiercely.
