Chapter 562: Trigon Army Knife

Masked.

Ready.

Waiting for Akagi Takatoshi to appear.

Akagi Takatoshi is not alone. He is also accompanied by five entourage.

Strangely, they do not have weapons on them. It is unbelievable. Is this considered to be actively seeking abuse?

And they're not driving. They're all walking. Somehow.

Good!

Let's start with a friendly, united battle.

Fifty against five.

No, fifty against six. The two sides are basically evenly matched.

The Japanese invaders are all very good. One can fight ten. So it is very reasonable for our side to send out fifty people to deal with the Japanese side's six people. The Japanese side also feels honoured. If they win, they can become famous all over the world.

The battle begins.

'Splat, splat...'

'Clang, clang...'

Various noises came from the battlefield.

Zhang Yong was standing nearby, observing the battle and learning from it.

Fifty men might not be enough?

Maybe we should use a hundred next time?

In any case, the more the merrier. Daggers, trident bayonets, maces, mace-heads...

Every kind of cold weapon was used.

When guns were not allowed, all kinds of weapons were used...

Huh? Wait!

Did something important just flash past?

Oh, it's the trident military dagger!

By the way, you can make this thing right now! Just find some blacksmiths and they'll make it for you.

Slot it.

Bleed it.

It's very effective against the Japanese invaders.

The thing is, it's very low-demand for steel. You can make it from pig iron. Very low cost.

Eagerly.

Want to start right away.

'Ah...'

'Ooh...'

Various short screams.

I don't know who made them. It was very lively anyway.

The two sides were fighting fiercely together. Punching and kicking. Although no weapons were used. But the punches were to the bone, and every move was deadly.

'Baka!'

'Zhang Yong!'

'It's you!'

Suddenly, a hysterical exclamation came.

But it was Akagi Takasumi who recognised Zhang Yong at first glance. Although Zhang Yong had a dream-like face. He recognised him.

In fact, even if Zhang Yong had turned grey, he would still be able to recognise him.

His hatred for Zhang Yong was so great that it could not be contained even by the Mariana Trench.

'I'm not Zhang Yong!'

'I'm Han Li!'

'My nickname is Han the Demon.'

'Remember that!'

Zhang Yong's face was stern. He answered seriously.

Since Li Boqi had told him to make up a new identity, he would use Han the Demon. A professional dead friend does not die poor.

Anyway, the mask was useless. It was only a matter of minutes before someone figured it out.

So he simply ripped off the mask.

'It really is you!'

'It really is you!'

'It really is...'

Akagi Takasumi shouted in a mixture of panic and anger.

His voice suddenly stopped, as if he had been punched hard. He was then subdued. Then bound.

In the end, all six Japanese invaders were captured. All of them alive.

A series of ropes bound them all up like rice dumplings at the Mid-Autumn Festival. It wasn't a good time for it. But it was a good job.

Except for Takatoshi Akagi, the mouths of all the other Japanese invaders were gagged.

Takatoshi Akagi's mouth was left open, of course, to give him a chance to speak.

'Zhang Yong, what are you going to do again?'

'Beat you!'

'Zhang Yong, I'm not finished with you! You son of a bitch...'

'I said it already. My name is now Han Li.'

'What the hell are you going to...'

Chiaki Takaharu suddenly felt a surge of anger, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Zhang Yong hurriedly stepped aside. He was afraid of getting sprayed with blood.

He secretly despised him. He was not at all able to take a beating. At most, he had taken a hundred or so punches, and he actually vomited blood?

No future...

'You...'

'Don't be angry. We're done fighting. We won't hit you again.'

'You...'

Chiaki Takaharu suddenly felt something was wrong.

But Zhang Yong came up and searched him all over. He took away all the valuables.

Including some scattered banknotes. About a few hundred silver dollars. And some other keepsakes. Including his own seal. And a family crest.

The Akagi family, although not considered a big family in Japan, was also slightly famous in the area.

He always carried this family crest with him. He would never take it out lightly. But now, it had been ruthlessly snatched away by Zhang Yong.

Hagah!

This son of a bitch!

"Give it back! Give it back! Give it back!'

He shouted hysterically.

His face was red with anger.

But it was useless.

The item had fallen into Zhang Yong's pocket, and there was no reason for him to take it out.

Unless he was willing to.

For example, Yang Lichu. First, a kiss, then ten thousand dollars. But he was happy.

'What are you going to do?'

'Baka!'

'No answer? Then I'll hit you again!'

'I'm going to Baofeng Building to eat! Eat! Eat! Do you hear me? I'm just going to eat!'

'Oh? Have you booked a table?'

'Of course!'

'Did someone invite you?'

'Nonsense...'

'Who invited you?'

'Yin Rugeng.'

'Why didn't you drive?'

'How far is Baofeng Building? Do you need to drive?'

'Oh, no.'

Zhang Yong nodded. The other person hadn't lied.

It was indeed very close to Baofeng Building from the Japanese concession. It was only a 20-minute walk. It wasn't far to walk.

Don't use the thinking concepts of a later era to measure this era.

There were very few vehicles in this era, and the vast majority of people's means of transportation were their legs.

Only places they can walk to are within their range of activities. If they can't walk there, they will never touch it in their lifetime.

It's not surprising that they never leave their village or town.

Yin Rugeng...

He's the one who invited Takasumi Akagi!

Forget it, I'll deal with him later.

'Zhang Yong, if you're capable, kill me! Otherwise, sooner or later, I'll take your life.'

'Do you want to know something?'

'No.'

'Really, it's closely related to you.'

'No.'

'A dozen hours ago, I arrested Kawashima Yoshiko and Matsui Yoshinobu...'

'What?'

Akagi Takajun's face suddenly turned dark.

What was Zhang Yong talking about? Kawashima Yoshiko? Matsui Yoshinobu? They were arrested?

No way!

Absolutely not!

This Zhang Yong is definitely lying.

How could Kawashima Yoshiko and Matsui Yoshinobu be arrested? Trying to fool me...

Dream on!

'Then they escaped again.'

'What?'

'I locked them up at the 29th Army's 51st Division base. I never expected that one of the deputy chief of staff, who was actually on your payroll, would lead them to escape.'

'Huh?'

Akagi Takajun felt more and more that something was wrong.

Judging from Zhang Yong's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. When it came down to it, he was really frustrated.

It was as if the cooked duck had really flown away.

'Alas, I didn't even have time to blackmail Matsui Yoshinobu...'

'You blackmailed Kawashima Yoshiko?'

'A little.'

'You...'

Akagi Takajun was speechless.

However, his mind was quick to react. He thought about himself.

Zhang Yong was nicknamed Moneybags. It was impossible to avoid losing money if you fell into his hands.

So, how was he going to lose money to get rid of the disaster?

Losing money might not necessarily get rid of the disaster.

But if you don't, disaster will strike immediately.

Damn it!

I was walking along fine, and suddenly I ran into Zhang Yong?

Beiping is such a big city, and I ran into him? I'm so frustrated, I don't want to live anymore. I want to bang my head against the ground and die. I don't want to be blackmailed by Zhang Yong later.

My dignity!

Every time I run into Zhang Yong, nothing good happens.

Tragedy...

Sure enough, I immediately heard Zhang Yong say, 'I'm short of cash these days, so give me some relief.'

'You...' Takaharu Akagi had intended to reply firmly, "No way. I won't give you a single penny. If you've got the guts, come and hit me." But in the end, he really didn't have the courage.

Because Zhang Yong really did hit him.

He deserved to be hit.

Before, when Yuji Iwasaku and Muta Moriguchi were killed, they were just killed. No one remembers them now.

Avenge the dead?

Of course. The question is, how?

They took action a few times. But instead of getting revenge, they lost more people.

They even gave up their lives for nothing.

And they were blackmailed.

Generally speaking, when Zhang Yong asks for money, it's best to give it willingly.

Give a little bit. So you don't suffer.

Give it happily. Give it cheerfully. Otherwise, if you give the money, you still have to take the beating. It's not cost-effective.

'Sihai Money Bank. Name: Wednesday. Secret key: Peach Blossom.'

'That's right!'

Zhang Yong wrote it down.

Akagi Takasumi let out a sigh of relief. Then he continued, unable to hold back his tears.

He had been caught.

Who knew what the consequences would be?

He didn't dare think about it.

This Zhang Yong was completely unpredictable.

'There's more.'

'What?'

'You're not just going to give me a name, are you? How much is a name worth to you?'

'800...'

'Right, you're too embarrassed to say it yourself.'

'I...'

'Don't give me that nonsense. You know my nickname. Today, without ten thousand taels of silver, you won't get off so easily.'

'I...'

Takatoshi Akagi really wanted to cry, but he had no tears.

Ten thousand taels of silver!

Where was he going to find that! He didn't have any!

He was an outsider!

He had only just arrived in Beiping!

In Beiping, his strength, his financial resources, were far inferior to Matsui Yoshinobu's.

'Speak!'

'Sihai Bank, Li Tianming, secret key, Sakura.'

'How much?'

'Five hundred? Or four hundred?'

'That little?'

'I...'

'Other names?'

'Lei Sheng...'

Akagi Takatoshi squeezed the toothpaste out little by little.

It wasn't that he meant to. He really wasn't prepared. It took a little recollection. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Since he had already confessed. If he said the wrong thing again, he was asking for death.

This Zhang Yongxin is really devious!

Now you tell him you have money, and he smiles. Like Maitreya Buddha.

But once he turns nasty, he's the King of Hell himself. Even the King of Hell isn't this ruthless. Just killing him outright would be so much easier. I'm just afraid...

Finally, Akagi Takasumi has squeezed all the toothpaste out of the tube.

There's none left.

Really none left.

Zhang Yong looks at the register.

Over 8,000...

Okay, for now, let's spare the other guy's life.

He would never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. This time, it was a bit low. But next time, it might be higher.

So, you have to look at the bigger picture. Look at the future benefits.

Besides, Takatoshi Akagi still has a big role to play.

In his plan, Takatoshi Akagi is the perfect person to pass on the information.

'Do you know about the Big Thunderstorm plan?'

'What?'

'The Big Thunderstorm plan.'

'What?'

Takatoshi Akagi is at a loss.

What big thunderstorm? What a strange name.

It definitely wasn't a Japanese name. The Japanese certainly aren't that unpoetic.

'The Big Thunderstorm Plan. Stealing German secrets.'

'Huh?'

'Your top brass have a plan to steal the Germans' secret information. This includes the core technical data.'

'I don't know anything about it!'

'No, you do.'

'I really don't.'

Akagi Takatoshi was getting anxious.

What big thunderstorm? He had never heard of it.

And stealing German secrets? Where did that come from? Who would steal them?

Germany and Japan are thousands of miles apart. Who would be so bored as to steal German secrets? Some Japanese people go to Germany to study...

'You have already stolen the technical data of the German fighter plane, the Bf 109.'

'What 109? Fighter plane?'

'Don't play dumb. I can break all your toes right now if I want.'

'No, Zhang Yong! This has nothing to do with me. If I knew, I would definitely tell you! Where did you hear it from?'

'Of course it was from one of your top people. It wasn't heard. It was bought. I spent a lot of money to get that information!'

'You bought information?'

'Yes. He originally asked for 8,000 US dollars. I bargained. I negotiated with him, and finally settled on 3,700 US dollars,'

Zhang Yong said, taking out a piece of paper.

It recorded the core technical data of the bf109.

He was not afraid to show it to the other party. It was useless for the other party to see it. The Japanese could not imitate it because their basic industry could not do it.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the Japanese fighter design. The data could be stacked very high. However, it could not be done in reality. Materials were the biggest constraint. Among them, the famous Zero fighter was also a plan after various compromises.

The main problem was that the engine's thrust was not enough. It didn't have enough horsepower. They had to desperately reduce the weight.

The Japanese aircraft engine technology was definitely not comparable to the Germans. Nor could it be compared to the Americans. In the end, they had no choice but to create a freak like the Zero.

Due to excessive weight reduction, the structure of the Zero was extremely fragile and had no protection. If it was hit, it was dead.

At the beginning, with its super high maneuverability, it could still show off a bit. However, its flaws were quickly discovered. Then it was always being beaten up. It was completely defenceless.

'Who is it?'

'Who is it?'

Takatoshi Akagi wondered.

Who had obtained the core data of the German fighter and then sold it?

And for a mere 3,700 US dollars?

Damn it. Was he crazy for money? How could he sell such confidential core data?

Without moving a muscle, he memorised all the data.

As an old-time spy, his memory was of course excellent. He could almost memorise everything he saw.

Zhang Yong withdrew the slip of paper just in time.

Good. Takaharu Akagi should have remembered it. The guy will write it down in shorthand when he gets back.

Then, within the Japanese military, and also at the Japanese war criminals Nakajima, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi and other aircraft production factories, these data will soon be known. And then studied.

And then...

If the Germans have other intelligence channels, they should also know.

And then...

The Germans will discover that the consequences of the leak of the core confidential data are still very serious. Damn the Japanese. They actually did such a despicable thing.

If nothing happens, the Germans' anger will continue to rise.

What?

Takatoshi Akagi said he got the data from Zhang Yong?

You must be kidding...

There's no way Takatoshi Akagi would ever tell the truth.

He's too proud to do that!

So, more or less, the Japanese are basically responsible for stealing the core technical data.

I guess the Japanese are a little smug, thinking that they've got such core data. They must celebrate.

'I can let you go back.'

'On what conditions?'

'It's simple. You have to provide me with some technical data as well.'

'What kind of data?'

'Aircraft design. I want everything from Nakajima, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, and so on.'

'I don't have any contact with them...'

'You'll have to find a way.'

'I...'

After thinking for a while, Takatoshi Akagi decided to pretend to agree. He had to get out of this first.

He had to find a way to escape Zhang Yong's clutches and then slowly make plans once he got back.

'Okay...'

'You can go now.'

'Huh?'

'I'll contact you.'

'Er...'

Akagi Takahisa felt uneasy.

But he didn't dare to linger. He turned to leave. But then he realised that something was wrong.

He was still followed by five subordinates. After returning, he definitely could not hide it.

'Ah...'

Suddenly, there were various low moans.

The five subordinates brought by Akagi Takahisa. Were all resolved by daggers. They died silently. The bodies were dragged away for disposal.

'I've taken care of it for you,' Zhang Yong said lightly.

'You...' Akagi Takahisa's face fell.

He didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, he understood that he had already boarded the wrong ship and could not get off.

Zhang Yong had killed his five subordinates.

Of course, he could lie when he returned and cover up for himself.

However, if one day Zhang Yong brought this up again, it would be a huge problem.

However, what could he do?

What choice did he have?

Fight to the death with Zhang Yong?

Or go back?

For a moment, Akagi Takasuke stood there, dumbfounded. He didn't know what to do.

Go back?

Fight to the death?

Go back?

Fight to the death?

The two thoughts crossed and crossed. It was a dilemma.

In the end, Akagi Takasuke chose to go back. Fighting to the death would only result in death. It was pointless.

Going back might give him a chance.

Maybe at some point, Zhang Yong would trip and fall into his hands.

Chen Gongpeng frowned. He wanted to say something, but then stopped.

He wanted to say something, but it was not easy to say. It felt a little strange.

Why is it that none of these Japanese invaders are fighting to the death?

The Japanese invaders on the battlefield are all ferocious and want to die. They are extremely difficult to deal with. It seems that what they are pursuing is death. The Japanese invaders have never surrendered. Surrendering is even more impossible.

However, these Japanese invaders captured by Zhang Yong seem to have lost the courage to seek death?

'Go!'

'Go to the Sihai Money Exchange.'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

He was eager to see how an underground money exchange operated.

In these troubled times, there was just too much money that people didn't want to be seen with. Many people were afraid to deposit money of unknown origin in a bank and had no choice but to go the wrong way.

'I'll go!' Chen Gongpeng said.

'Is it dangerous?' Zhang Yong's curiosity immediately diminished.

'Not really.'

'Then I want to go and have a look too.'

'Let's go!'

Chen Gongpeng did not object.

He was very familiar with these people from all walks of life. He did not think much of it.

However, when Zhang Yong arrived near the destination, he actually found three small red dots. Three Japanese.

At first, Zhang Yong did not feel strange.

Japanese spies were everywhere in Beiping City. There was nothing unusual about three of them gathering here.

As long as they were temporarily unrelated to him, he didn't care. Unless the other party was very rich.

However, Zhang Yong soon discovered that the three Japanese invaders were actually all from the Sihai Money Shop. It just so happened that there was one boss and two managers.

Outside the money shop, there was actually no sign. It was just a courtyard. Inside there were three people.

'They are all from the Sihai Money Shop?'

'Yes.'

'How long have they been doing this?'

'The boss is called Fei Xinqing, and it's been almost ten years. In this business, history is very important. If you only have two or three years of history, no one will trust you.'

'I see. A ten-year-old shop.'

'Shop? Yes. It's a bit like that. Apart from money, they also take all kinds of valuables. But once they've been sold, they can't be redeemed.'

'In that case, this Sihai Money Shop must be very rich indeed.'

'I don't know about that. But they must control a lot of money that no one can see.'

'Good, good, good!'

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up. It was as if he had seen a mountain of gold.

It was a slip-up. He should have thought of it earlier. Could we let the Japanese leave the underground banking business alone? We must take control ourselves!

If we take control, we can discover many secrets and it will be very convenient for us to launder money or transfer funds. All sorts of shady operations that cannot be done in a bank can be done here in the underground banking business.

'What are the names of the other two managers?'

'I don't know. It seems to be one surnamed Yu and one surnamed Xu. I'll go ask.'

'Don't...'

Zhang Yong usually stopped him.

Chen Gongpeng: ?

Zhang Yong looked around.

He whispered, 'These three are Japanese invaders.'

'What?' Chen Gongpeng was stunned.

'Immediately surround the money exchange. Let's take it all down.'

'Ah...'

'What's the problem?'

'No. You want to take down the entire Sihai Money Exchange?'

'What's the problem?'

'This...'

Chen Gongpeng wanted to say something but stopped.

There is a problem!

Of course there is a problem!

Very big problems!
