Chapter 122: News
By the time Pudong was still under fire, the SH city had already received news of the battle.
Telephones, commercial radio stations, at this moment is also the news flying.
The entrance of the government was crowded with reporters from all over the world who had come to inquire about the news, asking what had happened to the Huatong Wharf in Pudong and why there was even the sound of artillery.
There are words of suffering from government officials.
They're also at a loss, okay?
They all pretended to be unfathomable, and punched out Tai Chi with one hand, looking at him left and right.
For a while, there was a heated discussion in the city, and various speculations emerged one after another.
Concession.
Mitsui Kaisha.
Mitsui sat cross-legged in his place to the south, drinking tea calmly.
He also heard the rumors of cannonballs in the city, and although the dispatch of mortars surprised him, it was also reasonable.
He guessed that nine times out of ten, it was the people of the defense group who made the move, and the imperial warriors should have fought with the people of the defense group.
There should be a shadow of the secret service in this matter, otherwise there would be no reason for the group of wine bags and rice bags of the defense regiment to react so quickly.
Thinking of this, he was a little glad that he had asked the gendarmerie for someone.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers, if it is only the Black Dragon Society and the Ronin under him, he also knows that he will definitely not be the opponent of a hundred soldiers plus the defense group.
After all, they only carry short guns, while others are shells and long guns, machine guns.
Short gun against machine gun, death is inevitable, but it is not a big problem, he absolutely believes in the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers, even if it is just a pistol, it should be enough to clean up this gang.
Aren't there more than 800 bandits?
Just fill it with their lives.
The Secret Service has been doing a bit boldly lately.
In fact, Mitsui has been carefully calculating the recent movements of the secret service, and judging from his experience in dealing with the secret service in the past two years, the ability of China's intelligence agencies is actually average.
Sitting on the safety point of the concession, their black dragon will advance, attack, retreat and defend, and they are inherently invincible.
It's just that Zeng Haifeng, who was transferred recently, does have two brushes, and his style of acting is completely different from the previous one, and he actually dares to retaliate in the concession, it seems that this person's power in Nanjing is not small, otherwise he would not be so bold.
After all, the backlash of the British and Americans in the concession is something that ordinary people can't resist.
may have been forced too hard a while ago, and their boss Dai couldn't bear the face, so he saved his hand and connived at him to commit murder in the concession.
Nothing was a problem, it passed.
Although this wave was killed by so many subordinates in Shanghai, as long as the pressure was given, the situation was still in his hands.
Retaliation will soon unfold.
Today is a great opportunity.
Since the people of the secret service have gone to Pudong, there are elites of the Japanese Empire, and they will definitely be able to annihilate them completely.
Bring about one's own destruction.
Mitsui drank a cup of tea with a light smile and waited patiently for the good news.
As soon as the good news came, he could ask the gendarmerie command for credit.
Jingle bells, jingle bells.
The phone on the table rang, and Mitsui was slightly excited in his heart and quickly picked it up.
"Hey, I'm Mitsui?"
"Yaga! You stupid pig, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire have all been buried by you waste, 100 soldiers, 100 soldiers, all of them are broken! You idiot, get the hell out of the gendarmerie command right now! ”
The shouting and scolding on the phone made Mitsui's brain buzz, and he blurted out an impossible sentence without thinking about it, and then he wanted to ask a question emotionally.
However, the person on the other side did not give him any chance to explain.
Smack, the phone hangs up.
Mitsui listened to the busy tone on the phone, his ears boomed, he felt that he couldn't hear anything, and his eyes stared blankly ahead.
100 soldiers, the jade is shattered.
100 gendarmes of the Great Japanese Empire, jade shattered.
The 88 members of the Black Dragon Society he called must have also died.
"Impossible."
"Impossible."
Even if there is really something, even if it is the defense regiment and the special service, with the combat power of the imperial samurai, 188 people, it should be more than enough to deal with them.
"It's a trap, it's a trap."
"Black Dragon Society Secret Service."
Mitsui muttered a few words, his eyes became redder and redder, and the anger accumulated on his face became heavier and heavier, and suddenly he roared angrily, and smashed all the tea utensils on the tea table with a wave of his hand.
The hot tea stove fell, and the delicate porcelain shattered, and there was a crackling noise.
It is impossible for the defense regiment to deal with the Imperial Japanese Army, it can only be a sinister plan made by the secret service, and the matter in Pudong is a conspiracy, a conspiracy.
"Conspiracy, cool rope road!" Mitsui roared.
As soon as the door opened, his subordinates heard the sound and came over in a panic.
French Concession, clinic.
Zhou Qinghe is receiving the first distinguished customer in the history of the clinic to take the initiative to come to the door.
Originally, he was supposed to wait for news at the hotel, but Ma Qingqing called and said that this distinguished guest had to see him by name.
Zhou Qinghe is still puzzled, who has such a good vision?
After thinking about it, it's not good for the doctor not to see a doctor, anyway, there is a huge disparity in the strength of Pudong, and there is no reason why he can't eat, so he came over.
At first glance, the other party's vision is really good.
The fashionable aunt I met on the train, Xu Meifeng.
"Aunt Xu, your face looks very good, but she doesn't look like a sick person."
Zhou Qinghe sat at the diagnosis and treatment table, looked at Xu Meifeng's complexion, and then gave her a pulse, everything was fine.
"Dr. Zhou promised me to go over, but I didn't come for so long, I don't think about the tea and the food is not fragrant, so won't I get sick next? I'm precautionary. ”
Xu Meifeng said as if it was true, one by one.
Zhou Qinghe smiled: "Aunt Xu, I've been a little busy these days, I've been familiar with things in Shanghai, and I haven't found time to look for a house, you see I'm not in the clinic just now, I plan to wait for a little time to go over and see." ”
"Really?"
"Really."
"And where do you live now?"
"I'm still staying in a hotel."
"Oh, that's going to cost a lot of money." Xu Meifeng looked distressed and disgusted: "You go directly to me, isn't that saved?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's quite expensive." Zhou Qinghe nodded and smiled: "Aunt Xu, how did you know that I was here?" Detective. ”
Xu Meifeng chuckled: "I saw in the newspaper that there is a Chinese doctor who is very powerful these days, as soon as I saw it, I thought that this person was you, anyway, it was not far from the door, I came to take a look, but after seeing that you were not there for a few days, I asked them to help me find it, you see, it's you, right?" ”
"Aunt Xu can go to work in the patrol room, her reasoning ability is full marks, and her telepathic ability is particularly strong." Zhou Qinghe quipped.
Xu Meifeng laughed: "Don't interrupt, go to live with me, go and see if you are not satisfied, it is a waste of money to stay in a hotel." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go as soon as I have time." Zhou Qinghe has to go and take a look, everyone has come to the door, and it is not troublesome to take a look.
As soon as Zhou Qinghe saw Xu Meifeng's expression, he knew that he thought he was still prevaricating her, so he immediately raised his hand and smiled: "Just these two days, within two days." ”
"That's what you said." Xu Meifeng smiled.
"I said it." Zhou Qinghe nodded.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
"Okay, okay."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Walk slowly."
"I forgot to give the consultation fee."
"No, no, you're not sick."
"Thank you."
"It's okay, it's just a matter of taking a look."
Zhou Qinghe got up to send people away, Ma Qingqing and a few nurses immediately laughed and gossiped and asked, "Who?" ”
Zhou Qinghe sighed, turned his head to look at them and thought about it, "How can I tell you?" It's probably a Shanghai aunt who has a few buildings in the French Concession. ”
"How many buildings?"
"The French Concession?"
The nurse's eyes widened.
"Yes, I came for nothing, I didn't earn 200, I was sad, and I left."
Zhou Qinghe returned to the hotel.
"Section Chief, I'm back."
Zhou Qinghe waited, and Liu Kai also returned from Pudong.
Liu Kai, as Zhou Qinghe's direct subordinate, is basically the identity of an observer, in the incident, Zhou Qinghe asked him to assign his subordinates to complete it, and Liu Kai himself still has to be separated from the incident, so as not to be remembered for his appearance.
"How's it going? Sit. Zhou Qinghe pointed to the sofa and sat down to wait for the report.
Liu Kai told about the battle, and then talked about the follow-up: "The people from the secret service did not directly participate in the battle, and the losses were basically zero.
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers is not weak, especially when they were cornered, they took machine guns and grenades in the warehouse and clashed to death, causing some trouble to the people of the Einsatzgruppen, and there were some casualties, which should not be serious. ”
"Well, it's the right thing to do."
Zhou Qinghe didn't meet with the chief of staff, everything was contacted by phone, as for the meeting confirmation, it was all for Zeng Haifeng to go, the personnel of the Einsatzgruppen are complicated, if they can not meet, they will not meet, safety is always the first.
Liu Kai continued to report: "There are quite a few people who surrendered on the bandits' side, there are hundreds, and now they have been picked up by the local police station and the defense regiment, and they have not been dealt with for the time being. ”
"Hmm."
"Everything was pulled away by the Einsatzgruppen as planned."
Speaking of this, Liu Kai's expression was a little excited: "Section chief, there are too many things, and the military vehicle can't pull it down, and when I leave later, the military vehicle pulls the goods, and people are running behind to chase it, that scene, tsk." ”
"But they also took away our belongings and the tobacco."
"It's okay, someone will get it back."
Zhou Qinghe nodded slightly, this is the benefit promised to Yang Zhenhua at that time, all the warehouses were ransacked, and the contents were added to the two-one-five, and Zeng Haifeng and Yang Zhenhua discussed the division at that time.
Let the family send troops, it will still be a dead person's business, and naturally it can't let the family do it in vain.
Otherwise, who will help you next time?
Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, no capital to buy and sell.
As for the loss of goods in the warehouse of foreigners, how to deal with this matter? It's simple, it's blown up, and you have to find the Japanese to say it.
What does it matter to them that they suppress bandits?
"There is also Jiang Wen's side, I asked her before leaving, and she said that she has a lot of places to collect, and she may come back later."
"Hmm."
Xu Hongfa has robbed the property for so many years, Zhou Qinghe naturally will not let it go, and when the time comes, he will confiscate and sell all of it.
As for the defense regiment, they also left them gifts, so many bandits died, and there were many real estate to deal with, just give them a little bit.
Those sampan boats alone are estimated to be able to sell for a lot of money, and there should be a lot of small broken boats for these people.
"By the way, section chief, that Xu Hongfa didn't die, he ran back and just ran into Jiang Wen, and was arrested by Jiang Wen's people."
"Not dead. Then let's hold it in secret first, and then see if there is anything to talk about when the time comes. ”
It is not too important that the dead have a use for the dead, and that the living have a use.
"Okay, then you go and rest first, don't move for the time being for the next two days, let's see the reaction."
"Okay." Liu Kai nodded, and then asked, "What about Nanjing?" ”
"There's no rush. Wait, did Jiang Wen confiscate any cultural relics and antiques or anything like that? Zhou Qinghe asked.
"Not sure, there should be." Liu Kai scratched his head and smiled: "I can't understand this kind of thing." ”
"Hmm" Zhou Qinghe responded, thought for a while and said: "This matter is quite important, you send someone to run, if you have it, be careful, bring it all back, and then send a report to Nanjing, just say that a batch of tattered porcelain has been confiscated, if not, forget it." ”
"Yes."
"Go ahead."
If there are benefits, you have to leave a little for Boss Dai, although Zhou Qinghe is in Shanghai, he also has to think about Boss Dai in Nanjing.
Let it be, if not, then when the belongings are out of hand, where to find a few good things for Boss Dai.
It's also a way.
Two hours later.
Jingle bells, jingle bells.
"Hey."
Zeng Haifeng on the phone laughed: "Brother, I'm going to invite you to dinner, do you appreciate your face?" ”
Zeng Zhai.
Zeng Haifeng welcomed Zhou Qinghe into the door with joy.
"The God of Wealth is here, please please."
"You're back so soon? I thought you would have to come back to Yang Zhenhua at least tomorrow, so in such a little time, there are very few goods? ”
Zeng Haifeng wants to share the spoils with Yang Zhenhua, so many goods, naturally have to be counted, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so fast.
"That's me, I'm fast, okay."
Can money be slow?
Zeng Haifeng patted Zhou Qinghe's shoulder: "Said inside." ”
"Didn't you say invite me to dinner? You don't want to make money from an old picker? ”
"How can I be, am I such a person? We don't go out to eat, it's not safe, so we just have a few drinks at home. ”
"Then I have to see what kind of dish it is, it can't be your section chief Zeng who cooks it himself, right? I'm afraid of being poisoned. Zhou Qinghe joked as he walked.
How could Zeng Haifeng mind being ridiculed by Zhou Qinghe, that was a blessing.
Raised his hand and smiled and said: "I don't think I can cook, rest assured, absolutely good wine and good food, as well as authentic Shaoxing daughter Hong, the goods just arrived today." ”
"Xu Hongfa copied it?"
"Phew, how dare I drink his wine, it was given by Chief of Staff Yang."
"Really? It's quite generous. ”
Zhou Qinghe approached the inner hall, and there was a table of eight immortals inside, on which there were seven dishes, one soup and one jar of wine, which was extremely rich.
"Yes, it's different when you're rich, I'll try it."
Zhou Qinghe and Zeng Haifeng were not pretending to be polite, sat down and picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of ducks.
"Well, it tastes good."
"That's, I finally found the Huaiyang restaurant, I ordered it at noon, the time was just right, this is Babao Duck."
Zeng Haifeng also sat down while speaking, and when he got up the wine, he smiled and said, "Qinghe, we are really developed this time." ”
"How much is it worth?" Zhou Qinghe also became interested.
"Light smoke and earth, this number." Zeng Haifeng stretched out his palm and flipped it three times in a row.
"2 million?" Zhou Qinghe was taken aback: "So many? ”
Zhou Qinghe read the information and knew that there were many people who smoked big cigarettes in Shanghai, but he didn't expect to copy so many big cigarettes from a warehouse.
Zeng Haifeng chuckled: "The goods here are basically ordered by the Qing Gang, and the inventory of several tobacco dealers has been paid to him all at one time this time." ”
Hiss. It's really developed, 2 million.
Zhou Qinghe doesn't have any idea of prohibiting drugs, to put it bluntly, the world is like this, unless the upper echelons of the government strictly prohibit it, otherwise whoever prohibits it below will die, and the interests involved are too deep.
Money is earned by foreigners, and earned by the Green Gang, so it is better to earn it for them.
If you want to do things, you have to learn to be with the light.
"Will it cause trouble?" Zhou Qinghe asked.
The power of the Green Gang is not small, and there are so many big tobacco merchants behind it, and the power is very complicated.
Zeng Haifeng said in a low voice: "Someone has already contacted the Einsatzgruppen side, and they will be recycled at half price, I mean promise them, we can't really sell it ourselves, right?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Qinghe nodded: "And there will be no trouble this way, it's good to sell it, is there anything else." ”
"Of course there is, come and come, move chopsticks, and talk while eating."
Zeng Haifeng was drinking, and at the same time, he told Zhou Qinghe about the things in the warehouse.
The British and Americans brought in basically valuable things, and if this wave is calculated, the things in it can be sold for about 6 million.
Zeng Haifeng meant that in addition to the tobacco and soil, he would dispose of it immediately, and sell the rest of the things slowly by opening a company, otherwise it would be too much of a loss to sell it at a discount.
If you open a company, the financial situation of Shanghai District can be improved soon, and the most important thing is to have an explanation to Boss Dai.
Otherwise, if you eat too much at one time, Boss Dai can't explain it.
It's still a long stream of reliable water.
"Okay, you can do it."
Anyway, Zeng Haifeng didn't dare to steal his money, which meant that he would be given dividends every month in the future.
Zeng Haifeng asked after talking about the money: "What do you want me to say about the government's rhetoric, someone has already asked the Einsatzgruppen, I am pressing it now, and I haven't let them leak yet, but there will definitely be a press conference tomorrow, and this matter must be decided quickly." ”
Zhou Qinghe had already thought about this and said it to him immediately.
After a night of fermentation, the news of the battle in Pudong was boiling.
In particular, the British and Americans in the concession who heard that all the goods had been burned were even more indignant and urgently needed a clear explanation.
The next day, in front of the SH city government, reporters from various countries and businessmen from various countries were present, and finally there was a detailed explanation of the matter.
"I believe that many friends present know that in Pudong, there has always been a group of bandits and bullies headed by Xu Hongfa, which has seriously affected the smooth flow of business and the business interests and personal safety of international friends in Shanghai.
The reason for the fact that this group of local forces is composed of locals, and they take advantage of the special terrain of the local area to resist the government's encirclement and suppression.
However, since the opening of the port of Shanghai, such gangs will never be allowed to unscrupulously sabotage trade routes.
The local defense regiment reported that after receiving the report, our military and police department dispatched personnel to Pudong to investigate, and finally launched a net collection operation yesterday to launch a thorough encirclement and suppression of the other side.
Fierce battles arose in the encirclement and suppression, and under the orders of the soldiers, this group of bandits entrenched in Pudong was completely wiped out.
And in the process, warehouse J, as the center of the battle, was badly damaged"
"Why Warehouse J?"
"yes, why would a gang of bandits bombard with mortars? Who will bear the damage caused to our goods? ”
"yes, you can't just leave it at that, right? So who would dare to come to Shanghai to do business? ”
"yes, I've lost millions, I'm bankrupt!"
The voices from the audience suddenly shouted loudly, and this statement obviously could not make the businessman swallow the bitter fruit.
The spokesman pressed his hand, and waited for the voice below to quiet down:
"Actually, a gang of bandits, we really don't need to use mortars and other weapons with extraordinary lethality.
But the reason for this is that our soldiers, in the course of the battle, found a group of people of unknown origin and particularly strong combat effectiveness, this group of people is quite large, there are three or four hundred people. ”
"Huh?"
"Who?"
"Everyone, be quiet."
The spokesman showed a photo of three Asian-looking bodies lying on the ground, and the highlight was that the pants were taken off, revealing the crotch cloth inside.
The second photo is a family registration certificate, which clearly shows that the other party's nationality is Japanese and his place of residence is Hongkou.
The third photo is an identity document, on which the military position of the other party, the Japanese military police headquarters, is directly indicated.
"These are the three things we found during the battle, you can circulate them."
The three photos were handed to the audience, which immediately caused an uproar.
No wonder mortars are used, if it is a Japanese soldier, three or four hundred Japanese soldiers, then if the mortar is not used, how many people will have to die to gnaw this hard bone?
And there are more than eight hundred bandits.
Several Japanese reporters and Japanese representatives were immediately criticized verbally and in writing, and the British and Americans did not care that they were Japanese, so they immediately asked them for an explanation.
The Japanese representative's face was pale, and after reading the photo, he turned around and left.
"Everyone, be quiet." The noisy venue was once again pressed down by the speaker.
"As everyone knows, some time ago, the Japanese side has been claiming that it was our Chinese agents who were assassinating Japanese nationals in the Public Concession, but this is absolutely not the case."
"We captured the bandit leader Xu Hongfa in the battle, and according to his own account.
He has been instructed by the Black Dragon Society to raid various chambers of commerce in Pudong.
The Japanese side keeps saying that there is no such organization as the Black Dragon Society, but now it turns out that not only the Black Dragon Society, but also they have a military background, and they are carrying out unscrupulous sabotage activities in Shanghai and Pudong!
Not only that, Xu Hongfa also confessed.
This group of members of the Black Dragon Society not only instructed him to plunder the caravan, but also went so far as to get drunk and insult his wife and daughter, causing him to assassinate the members of the Black Dragon Society in a fit of rage in retaliation.
After being assassinated, the members of the Black Dragon Society fought back while pressuring the government.
Not only did they assassinate Xu Hongfa's men in Pudong, but in order to continue to obtain high profits to maintain terrorist activities, they formed a 100-member plunder team to loot in the name of Xu Hongfa and make a lot of money.
I believe this, many friends present have heard of it, especially businessmen. ”
As soon as he said this, the audience was boiling.
The Anglo-Americans were furious, and immediately understood why a new group of robbers suddenly appeared, and they were unreasonable and robbed everything.
It turned out that he had an awkward relationship with Xu Hongfa, and the black dragon would eat two heads!
These bastards!
They can't wait to question Mitsui's bastard right now.
But the spokesman's words continued, endure it a little longer.
And in the end, it was today's battle, Xu Hongfa was forced to a dead end, and all the supplies were robbed, resulting in serious damage to his interests.
The Black Dragon Society knew this, and also knew that a long period of inhumane looting would attract a quick blow from us, so they sent someone to Xu Hongfa to negotiate peace, and the two sides conspired to loot the J warehouse.
In fact, the Black Dragon Society only wants to use Xu Hongfa's strength to capture the warehouse, save its own troops, and destroy Xu Hongfa afterwards, so as to completely leave our field of vision and put all the blame on Xu Hongfa.
But what they didn't expect was that Xu Hongfa thought the same way.
Xu Hongfa couldn't forget the hatred of his wife and daughter, and planned to exterminate the Black Dragon Society after conspiring, and then fled to other places.
He knew that the Japanese soldiers were strong in combat, so he brought almost all of them with him.
The two sides had evil intentions in their hearts, and then they fought around warehouse J.
And it was also at this time that our military and police detectives discovered the abnormality, and after reporting, our special team seized the opportunity to attack decisively and launched a complete extermination operation against Xu Hongfa's group of bullies.
And it was a great success. ”
