Morning, autumn rain.
The gusts of autumn rain are cool. The chill is palpable.
Gradually, the lunar calendar will also enter the ninth month. In Jinling, it can be said to be late autumn.
The warm quilt is so comfortable, I don't want to move at all.
Open your eyes.
A charming face is in front of you. A faint blush of contentment.
'What do you want to eat?'
'Eat you.'
'I can't. I said breakfast.'
'Eat you!'
'Don't...'
A long time passed.
Finally, Zhang Yong got up.
This is the price of not being prepared! I've been bullied by a little demon.
Ugh, the past is unbearable to think about...
Never mind her, get dressed and come downstairs for breakfast.
The place Chu Chu rented was actually very nice. It was like a bachelor apartment. Suitable for one person.
There are all kinds of breakfast places downstairs. It's similar to the future. There isn't as much technology and hard work.
You can't even break a dollar. You use loose change.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Yong went straight back to Wuhou Street. Back to work.
What did you do last night?
Zhongyang and the others all knew. It was understood between them.
They also knew about Miss Chu Chu. So there was nothing strange about it.
That was just the kind of person Captain Zhang was.
He was after money.
And women.
They want to too. But they can't learn from him.
They don't have Zhang Yong's special skills. They don't have the special skills to 'smell' the Japanese invaders.
So, they can only honestly help Zhang Yong. And then wait for their share of the money.
Yan Guangkun also tacitly agrees and pretends not to know.
He is responsible for following up on last night's hard work.
He is happy to do so.
Following Zhang Yong, he gets paid handsomely.
He has earned more in these few months than in several years.
Although his wife has never met Zhang Yong, she already praises him to the skies.
Which wife doesn't like money?
Big, white bills are brought home every other day, so which wife wouldn't be happy?
So what's a little hard work? 100% happy.
Wei Dongbao confessed. He was very scared. Seeking asylum, he revealed all his plans with Kuroshima Ryuzo.
Unexpectedly, there really was no connection with the Military Senate.
Wei Dongbao's main task was to get close to the Chen family. To establish a relationship with the Chen family. To have close contact.
There was no mention of overtly instigating rebellion. It was just said to be close contact.
In fact, this was economic entrapment.
Give the Chen family enough benefits. And then let them waver back and forth.
When someone advocated actively resisting the Japanese, the Chen family would raise objections from the side. What about insufficient armaments, what about an empty national treasury!
Anyway, there was a whole bunch of difficulties. It was said that now was not the time to resist the Japanese. It would be better to cooperate with the Japanese.
In order to make money for the Chen family, Kuroshima Ryuzo and the Chen family transported a large amount of foreign soil back from Southeast Asia.
At this time, the British were no longer the largest importer of foreign soil into China. It was the Japanese. The Japanese were using foreign soil to undermine the morale of the Chinese people.
However, Wei Dongbao did not know about Chen Longping's secret warehouse arrangements.
He was just the middleman.
'Ah...'
Zhang Yong yawned.
I'm so sleepy. I was so tired last night. I'm still young after all. I didn't know that lust would be the death of me.
Come and see Chen Longping.
He relayed the confession of Fujino Miyoshi directly.
'Sigh...'
Chen Longping finally spoke helplessly.
Even the Japanese couldn't hold out. He confessed everything. What was the point of him continuing to remain silent?
'I've already sold all the foreign soil.'
'Who did you sell it to?'
'Boss Du.'
'That Boss Du?'
'The one on Shanghai Beach.'
'How much did you sell?'
'More than 30,000 catties!'
'Ah...'
Zhang Yong let out a gasp.
Damn. More than 30,000 catties. Your family is really crazy.
More than 30,000 catties of opium!
The Kong family only had 8,000 catties before.
Oh, that was probably just part of the Kong family's stock. Not all of it.
However, whether it was 8,000 catties or 30,000 catties, it was a very frightening number.
So much foreign soil flooding the market...
No wonder the Chinese are so weak.
Opium kills!
'Where's the money?'
'It's all been deposited in the Peasant's Bank.'
'How can I get it out?'
'You can't.'
'Are you kidding me?'
'With such a large sum, of course our master is in charge. I don't even handle it.'
'You don't get any of the benefits?'
'I get 1,000 silver dollars.'
'That's it?'
'...'
Chen Longping didn't say anything.
Perhaps he felt that Zhang Yong's questions were naive.
He was also working for someone else. To be able to get 1,000 silver dollars was already considered to be merciful by his boss.
Even if his boss didn't give him a single penny, what would you do?
Platforms are not personal abilities.
Without the Chen family's platform, he wouldn't even be able to get this 1,000 silver dollars.
Zhang Yong: ...
Okay. If it's not there, it's not there.
Over there, Guo Dashan still owes me more than 10,000. I don't know if I can get it together...
'There are still two warehouses of goods that haven't been sold.'
'What's the address?'
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.
He had already made a fortune from the 500 crates of aspirin.
Each box of aspirin was at least worth three silver dollars, and each crate was worth more than 300 silver dollars. 500 crates was worth more than 100,000 silver dollars.
If converted to US dollars, it was worth almost 40,000 US dollars. It was a huge sum.
That's why the head of the household couldn't eat it. It would kill him. Only by using the wife's name could he eat it. The Chen family would not dare to retaliate.
Now, all 500 crates of aspirin have been taken back to the airbase. They are waiting to be disposed of.
The other items can of course be disposed of as usual.
The best thing about the airbase is that it has a lot of space and many warehouses. You can put in as much supplies as you like. There is also very tight security. You can do whatever you want without having to report back.
Not to mention 500 crates of aspirin. Even 5 million crates would be fine.
It is also relatively safe.
Apart from the air force's own people, no one else dares to cause trouble at the airbase.
This includes the military police, the military intelligence, the central intelligence, and even the personal staff office.
There are some things that even the Commander-in-Chief would not feel comfortable asking about directly, let alone other people.
Chen Longping gave two addresses, but did not say what was actually inside. Zhang Yong did not ask.
They would find out when they arrived at the scene.
First, someone was sent to take Wei Dongbao (Fujino Sankichi) back to the headquarters on Goose Lane.
This guy would rather be locked up in the Fuxing Society secret service prison cell than live outside. It can be seen that he is terrified of the black mask and black spider.
Guo Dashan is the same. He is also very nervous. He would also rather be sent to prison.
At least, in prison, he is relatively safe.
'Okay...'
Zhang Yong fully satisfies their demands.
But Chen Longping and Wei Heren cannot be sent back to prison. They still have to continue living in the safe house.
In fact, Wei Heren is already dead. Unless there are more confessions behind him.
Chen Longping is a member of the Chen family, so it would not be appropriate to keep him in the Fuxing Society secret prison. It would give people cause for gossip. Keeping him in another place would also be inappropriate. They could only continue to look for a place to secretly detain him.
This place on Wuhou Street may no longer be safe. They must move him immediately.
Move him to Haitang Street. There is also Tian Yuman's house there. He can stay there for a few days for now.
After making the arrangements, Zhang Yong called Yang Lichu and asked her to arrange people and vehicles to go and move the Chen family's warehouse.
The first specific address was Hundred Ghosts Street. Commonly known as.
This is a place where the fish and dragons are mixed together. All walks of life are mixed in.
Ordinary people are afraid to walk this way. They are afraid of being harassed by thugs on the road.
Of course, this has no effect on Zhang Yong.
Yang Lichu also brought a platoon of guards. There were more than 30 heavily armed soldiers.
First, the street was cleaned up.
Arrest all the riff-raff on the street and beat them up.
Beat them all to the point where they can't take care of themselves. It's also a way to get rid of the evil. For those who are headstrong and refuse to accept it, just break their legs.
When dealing with these people, Zhang Yong is no pushover.
I've killed so many spies, why would I care about a few riff-raff like you?
If this wasn't Jinling, but Shanghai, he would really shoot a few of them.
'You...'
Yang Lichu was speechless.
It didn't seem right to say that this guy was just messing around.
These ruffians really deserved to be severely punished. They never did anything good.
They were all hard cases. It was useless to send them to prison. They would only get worse when they got out. Some even had people backing them up. They would never be sent to prison. They had no regard for the law.
Now they had met Zhang Yong, and it was like the devil meeting the devil. They were finished.
However, Zhang Yong was so brutal that she was a little scared. He had broken the legs of as many as 30 to 40 people.
Some stubborn people refused to submit, and Zhang Yong beat them until they vomited blood.
She saw with her own eyes Zhang Yong grab the head of a local thug and slam it against the wall. Blood splattered everywhere.
She didn't dare to look any longer. She couldn't stand it.
It was so brutal...
Seeing that there were no more disobedient people, Zhang Yong finally stopped.
Bunch of bastards. Deserve to be punished.
Usually no one cleans you up, but the heavens have arranged for me to do it! If you don't believe it, come back next time.
He found the warehouse and opened it.
Inside were all kinds of cigarettes. And cigars.
The main brand of cigarettes was Hardman. At the time, it was considered relatively high-end. It was expensive.
He counted them.
There were also 500 boxes.
Each box had 30 cigarettes in it. There were a total of 1,500 cigarettes.
Zhang Yong didn't know the exact price. He didn't know the market price of high-end cigarettes.
Especially not this imported cigarette. He has no idea.
Let's ask Tang Shengming about it!
Tang Shengming is absolutely proficient in this kind of messy business. He can even introduce buyers.
They all loaded it onto the truck. Then they drove back to the air base.
However, they went to the second warehouse.
They opened it.
Inside were perfumes and red wine.
They didn't know what brands they were. But they definitely weren't common goods.
What could make the Chen family get involved in the trade was definitely extremely profitable. It was probably still banned trade.
Only goods that are banned from trade can make money.
For example, arms.
And opium...
Zhang Yong took out a bottle of perfume and handed it to Yang Lichu, 'I'll give you two cases!'
'Why don't I take them myself?' Yang Lichu's mouth curved up, 'I have the warehouse keys.'
'That's fine,' Zhang Yong said with a smile, 'I'm just afraid you won't dare.'
'You've made such a big move behind your wife's back. Aren't you afraid that she'll know and deal with you?'
'Have I done anything wrong?'
'No, you haven't. This is Japanese spy property. There are no legal procedures in place yet.'
'That's right!'
Zhang Yong laughed heartily.
Yang Lichu is not without flexibility, after all.
Frankly, if Madam finds out about this, she might even be happy. She definitely won't blame him.
After all, these things are needed by the Air Force.
Perfume and the like, which Air Force pilot's wives don't scramble to buy?
When the pilots got their monthly pay, they probably spent half of it on perfume. Back then, perfume was incredibly expensive. A small bottle cost more than ten silver dollars.
Even by today's standards, the price was not at all low.
But now, it's all right. You don't have to go out and buy it. There's a discount inside. Fifty percent off. When the wives see that, they can't help but praise Madame.
How could Madame not be happy when so many wives are praising her?
Actually, the Air Force needs cigarettes and other things.
They can be considered hospitality supplies for the Air Force.
Zhang Yong himself will surrender half of them. The other half will be sold to fund the Third Bureau of Intelligence.
Pull it away.
Take it all back to the air base.
Yang Lichu has already arranged the warehouse. Unload everything. Then lock it up.
Zhang Yong also returned to the office of the Third Bureau of Intelligence.
He also has work to do here.
No funding. Figure it out yourself. No salary. Open it for yourself. No one...
'Ring ring ring...'
'Ring ring ring...'
The phone suddenly rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the receiver.
'Shaolong, when are you free?' It was actually Yu Lexing.
'I'm free now. What are your instructions, Commander Yu?' Zhang Yong stood at attention and answered politely.
'As instructed by the Chief, I've selected 50 people for you and they've already been brought to Jinling.'
'Really?'
'Of course. I'm at the Shimonoseki train station right now. The Chief said that the Third Bureau might need people...'
'Then I'll come to the station to pick you up.'
'No need. I'll bring them directly. Just tell me where. I'll hand them over to you personally.'
'Very well. Bring them directly to the Taikuchang Air Force Base. I'll meet you there. Thank you!'
'It's the least I can do. We'll be there in a moment!'
'Thank you, Commander Yu.'
'No problem!'
'Thank you!'
Zhang Yong once again exchanged pleasantries with the other party.
Unexpectedly, it was Yu Lexing himself who came to deliver the person.
At the same time, the department head also gave instructions on the arrangements for this group of people. That is, to send them all to the Third Intelligence Division.
What can I say?
It can only be said that the department head attaches great importance to the Third Intelligence Division of the Air Force Staff Department. He directly filled it up to its full establishment.
This Third Intelligence Division has an establishment of three small teams, which is almost enough.
If more manpower is needed, the security forces can be mobilised. The Air Force has a large security force. It's almost a regiment.
As the Air Force continues to grow and there are more and more airports, the security force will also grow. At its peak, there were tens of thousands of people.
After the arrival of the Aviation Volunteer Corps recruited by Claire Chennault, the Air Force will experience rapid development.
By the time of the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor Incident, with the arrival of a large amount of US aid, the strength of the Nationalist Air Force will continue to expand. Eventually, it will successfully overwhelm the Japanese ground forces and become the strongest air force in Asia.
Yes, it was the strongest air force in Asia. It was even stronger than the Japanese ground forces. Although it was only a flash in the pan.
By the end of the war, the Nationalist Air Force could beat the Japanese ground forces. This is absolutely not an exaggeration.
Of course, these matters need to be reported to Yang Lichu.
Nomally, Yang Lichu is the director of the Third Intelligence Bureau. He is also a genuine air force man.
This is very important.
Because the air force is very xenophobic. It will never accept outsiders.
Zhang Yong is a special case.
There are no more like him.
'As your wife said, you are responsible for the funding and personnel,' Yang Lichu replied.
'Then there is no problem,' Zhang Yong was completely relieved.
Of course, he dared not make it too big.
Fifty people were enough. More would be too much.
If you recruit a few hundred people from someone else's air force, that would be too much of a show. Someone would definitely gossip.
Fifty people, just right. Not more, not less. Just right.
'Yang Junjian,' Yang Lichu reminded.
'I know,' Zhang Yong nodded.
Bringing this up again.
It's annoying.
It's not that I don't want to switch. It's that the Japanese side doesn't want to make contact. Okay.
He would like to kidnap Toiihara. And then coerce him into handing over Yang Junjian. The problem is, it's not realistic! He doesn't have the skills to kidnap Toiihara yet.
However, he can't complain to his leader. He can't grumble. Or say strange things.
Why does Madam appreciate him?
Because he works quietly. On the surface, he never complains.
If he liked to complain and say strange things, he would have been kicked to the corner of the Pacific Ocean a long time ago.
He has to figure it out himself.
Whether this Yang Junjian is dead or alive, he has to get him back.
Pick up the phone.
Get ready to have a good chat with Tang Shengming.
This guy is a winner in life. If he holds his leg, he might be able to benefit from it as well.
