Chapter 318: Deputy Director Xu wants to trade
Li Junhao understood that Xu Enzeng of the Central Union actually wanted to "sell" Zheng Haicheng to Zheng Pingru in private, and the transaction requirements put forward were: first, to let out the subordinates who had been arrested in the anti-gang operation before, and second, to allow him to exchange a sum of dollars in the concession bank with fiat currency.
After finishing speaking, Zheng Pingru was a little surprised, she knew that these two things could indeed be done by Li Junhao in one sentence, but they were both against his original order, if they were spread, it would seriously affect Brother Jun's reputation, but knowing that her younger brother was on the line between life and death, how could she not care?
Li Junhao looked at her expression and guessed what she was thinking, so he motioned for her to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, and then called Xiaoyu and asked her to find Li Xiaoyu as well, and he was going to explain some things clearly.
After Xiaoyu and Li Xiaoyu came in, he asked Zheng Pingru to tell the matter again, so that the two who had just arrived knew what had happened.
Then, he said: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Pingru, you three can be said to be the closest people to me here, so your business is also my business." I hope that if something like this happens again in the future, I must tell me as soon as possible, and don't have any thoughts that I don't want to trouble me, I'm embarrassed, etc., in that case, I'm really going to be unhappy! β
The three girls all laughed when they heard this, and Brother Jun's words made them very happy, and they immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's talk about this matter...... Li Junhao said, "This is actually a good thing, you see, if it weren't for this Xu Enzeng's greed for money, we didn't know about this situation, Pingru's younger brother would be in danger!" β
When the three girls heard it, they thought it was really like this. Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu found that Zheng Pingru looked nervous, so they took her hand one by one, hoping to give her some support.
Although Zheng Pingru was very worried about her brother's safety, she still expressed her previous worries, saying that if she did so, she might affect Li Junhao's reputation......
Li Junhao looked at them like this, of course, he was happy and approving in his heart, and when he heard her worry, he waved his hand and said, "Ha! What reputation is not discredited, I don't care about that!
"And, think about it, the people Xu En once asked for were all those who committed less serious crimes in the tobacco industry, and those who committed serious enough crimes had already been shot, and the rest of these people had also served several months of hard labor and had already received a lot of punishments, and there was nothing to release a batch at this time.
"As for Xu Enzeng's desire to exchange fiat currency for US dollars, it is nothing more than to turn the black money in his hand into a more value-preserving currency, the reason why he did not say the specific amount is that he has not yet made up his mind, and he is afraid that I will not agree, and he will feel that he will lose money, so he needs to talk about it.
"In this way, Pingru, you go and talk to that Chen Baohua, you can agree to both conditions, and the specific method and exchange amount can be discussed, but this time it's not just to rescue your brother, but also the other five people!"
Hearing this, the three daughters' expressions were all stunned, and then they all showed joy, Zheng Pingru was happy that her brother was expected to be rescued, Li Xiaoyu didn't expect to be able to save her comrades from the hands of Zhongtong, and Xiaoyu was happy for the two sisters and Brother Jun's kindness.
"In this way, the three of you discuss this matter together, and you all know the resources on my side, and you can make full use of them." Li Junhao clapped his hand and said, "If it doesn't work, just tell me, it's a big deal that I will go to Chongqing and meet this Deputy Director Xu in person!" β
"Okay!" The three girls agreed in unison, and left together to discuss how to operate.
Li Junhao thought about this and felt that it was a bit of a story, in his previous life, he had specifically learned about the affairs of the Central Union, this Xu Enzeng had been the head of the Kuomintang Party Affairs Investigation Section from 1928 to 1945 and later the Central Union, in the early stage he was an anti-communist blade in the hands of Chairman Chiang, but in the later stage he was crazy about accumulating money and daring to do anything......
Well, this period now belongs to the later stage of Xu Enzeng's career, so it is reasonable for him to think of using Zheng Haicheng's life and death to make a deal with Zheng Pingru.
In this case, Li Junhao does not mind "hooking up" and "reciprocity" with him in order to achieve their respective goals.
He didn't take the initiative to ask about the next thing, and he believed that the current three female generals would be able to do well.

On the European battlefield, at the beginning of June, France was in danger and had no time to take care of itself, the British and French troops withdrew from Norway before the 7th, the Norwegian king and government were also exiled to London, and the German army occupied the entire territory of Norway on the 10th.
The victory in the Battle of Norway was significant for Germany, as it secured a blockade of Britain and bases for the Soviet Union, and caused neutral Sweden to turn to Germany, which not only continued to supply Germany with iron ore sands, but also allowed Germany to send troops and supplies to Narvik and northern Finland through its own territory.
On the Western Front, on June 5, the German Army Group B took the lead in launching an offensive on the right flank, followed by Army Group A on the left flank and launched a river crossing offensive on the Aisne River on June 9.
Rommel's 7th Panzer Division of Army Group A and Guderian's Corps of Army Group B split into assault and swept through France!
On the 10th, the French government withdrew from Paris and moved to Tours. On the same day, Italy declared war on France and Great Britain.
On the 11th, France, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, and South Africa declared war on Italy.
On the 13th, Paris was declared an undefended city.
On the 14th, when the French government moved to Bordeaux, the Germans occupied Paris without firing a single shot.
On the day of the German occupation of Paris, the left flank of the German Army Group A had advanced to the flank of the Maginot Line, and Army Group C, which had been carrying out the task of attracting the attention of the French army in front of the Maginot Line, immediately chose the weak point of the defenders of the Maginot Line, that is, the junction of the two fortified areas of Alsace and Lorraine, to attack.
The A and C armies were flanked in front and rear, and the Maginot Line was quickly broken through.
On the 16th, the Maginot Line French surrendered, and Marshal PΓ©tain became Chancellor of the Vichy French government.
On the 17th, Army Group C advanced to the Marne-Rhine Canal, Army Group A occupied Verdun, and 500,000 French troops were surrounded in Alsace and south of Lorraine, and all but a few fled to Switzerland and were annihilated.
On the same day, the Vichy government announced its surrender.
On the 22nd, France and Germany signed the Armistice Agreement on the Kambian Border, and the French campaign ended.
In just one month and 12 days, the "mighty" France fell, and the world was shocked! ββ
Li Junhao, who saw the battle report, sighed lightly, this France, alas, is not as good as spaghetti!
He knew that with the fall of France, the darkest hour in Europe had arrived, and that a larger war would begin to brew and that would sweep the whole world!
