Chapter 32: The Brick that Knocks on the Door of Germany

The gunboat shuttled past the ferry, and the side waves raised made Xiao Anguo spit secretly.

On the dock and on the street, teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth made the atmosphere of the three towns of Wuchang suddenly tense. Because the Sichuan Road Protection Movement evolved into a riot, the three towns of Wuchang that guarded the waterway into Sichuan became the key point.

After the ferry arrived at Hanyang Pier, he found that the corner of his clothes was being grabbed by someone before he could see clearly. He was so scared that he grabbed the handle of the gun and looked back. He found that it turned out to be a man carrying a bag, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of brown glasses.

"Who are you?"

"Haha, why don't the elder brother recognize me?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Anguo was so amused and laughed: "I said Brother Yang, where are you singing this? This is a good product. I will make two sets for my brother another day. I don't dare to go out if I don't dress up recently."

Yang Qiu smiled and pulled him onto the ferry without saying anything. He walked to a secluded place before taking off his glasses and laughed: "I've dragged down my brother so much."

"Of course." Xiao Anguo gradually realized Yang Qiu's temperament and joked: "Brother is still counting on finding you to lose money." After the two joked and swept away the boredom these days, Yang Qiu asked: "How is the eldest brother taking over Pingku?"

"The brothers inside are all good. Although you don't have the help of noble people, you can still get along. And..." Xiao Anguo knew Yang Qiu's thoughts, and then he looked in front of his ears and whispered: "I went to the armory to see. There should be no big trouble for the guards, but there are too many things inside, only 50,000 or 60,000 rifles alone! More than 10,000 boxes of ammunition and more than 10,000 cannons, and they can't take them away in less than ten days and half a month."

"so much!"

Yang Qiu also stared at him. He knew that Chu Wangtai was the largest arsenal in China at present, but he didn't expect that there were so many. Not to mention that he had such a few people, even if he brought the entire Mixed Association, he would not be able to take so many arms away in a few days.

Otherwise, let’s blow it up? Yang Qiu shook his head, put aside this idea, and if he really wanted to blow up the armory, he would probably have to watch the three towns fall when Beiyang came.

Seeing that Yang Qiu didn't say anything, Xiao Anguo leaned into his ear and said, "By the way, there is another thing I want to tell you. Yesterday, I went to drink with a few colleagues in the army. Someone told me that Jin Laili didn't come back all night on the night we were assassinated."

"Golden Skin? Who is Golden Skin?"

"Jin Laili is also called Jin Mingsheng. He used to be a gangster from the Yangtze River Gang in Hankou. Later, he joined the new army for some reason. Now he is the number one hob meat in the Eight Towns. By the way, I also heard that he has a close relationship with a man named Zhang Zhenwu."

Zhang Zhenwu!

Yang Qiu almost called out, Sun Wu, Zhang Zhenwu, Jiang Yiwu, and the Shouyi Sanwu were famous figures. Unexpectedly, the assassination of himself was actually done by them!

"Made, these guys are really trying to do anything!" Xiao Anguo slapped the railings with hatred.

"Brother... I was the one who killed you." Yang Qiu learned that it was Sanwu who wanted to kill him. He knew that the matter was serious. You must know that Sanwu had an extraordinary status in the eyes of the Hubei Democratic Party. If they wanted to kill him, then the lower level would definitely do their best.

"Stop talking nonsense. If it weren't for your brother, I would have lost my life in Guang'an." Xiao Anguo seemed not to want to mention this matter again. Seeing that the ship had returned to Wuchang Wharf, he asked, "By the way, where are you going?"

"See an old friend."

While Xiao Anguo was puzzled, Yang Qiu had already pulled him off the boat and walked to a delicate two-story courtyard.

"Hey, it's you?"

After entering the door, Xiao Anguo realized why Yang Qiu said he was an old friend. It turned out that he was here to find Shen Shukai he met that night. He was full of words and wanted to ask the man who suddenly appeared, but when he entered the house, he found that the servant was actually packing his bags.

"Mr. Shin, where are you going?"

"Fortunately, I finally met." Shen Shukai was also anxious to see the two of them. After seeing them, he hurriedly held hands and said, "To be honest, our Sichuan semicolon was snatched by a group of mobs yesterday, so I must hurry to check the situation immediately."

"Brother Shen, if I were you, I wouldn't go to Chengdu." Yang Qiu stretched out his hand and gave a wink at the shopkeeper Dong. He understood that the three of them must have something to talk about. The clever shopkeeper Dong immediately dispersed the servants, and walked to Shen Shukai to wait.

Shen Shukai, who was anxious, didn't pay attention to Yang Qiu's name, and said anxiously: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"

Yang Qiu smiled slightly, put his bag on the table, looked at the pack and said, "I think Brother Shen went to Chengdu just to check the loss and find a way to reopen the semicolon, right?"

“Are you doing this wrong?”

"That's right, but Brother Shen, have you ever thought about it? Now it's just a mere Chengdu. If something goes wrong in Wuchang, Shanghai and Guangzhou, how can you be separated?" Yang Qiu's few words made the face of the shopkeeper Dong, who had previously had a branch of the Chengdu branch, change suddenly. Even Shen Shukai stood up suddenly and asked: "Brother Yang, what do you mean..."

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop!" Yang Qiu got up and walked to the window, looked at the busy river outside and took a deep breath: "Brother Shen, you and I have sex by chance, and I'm afraid there is no way to say trust, but don't you think we are very destined to be together?"

"I met Manager Dong in Chengdu that day, but I was in danger there. I also apologized because of this incident. But you saved Miss Miao and me, and I drank and pecked each other, as if it was God's will!" Yang Qiu glanced at Manager Dong and smiled and said, "Since you called me brother today, then whether you believe it or not, I still want to persuade you. Immediately! Immediately! Organize all the semicolons and return them to the warehouse immediately. If the conditions are acceptable, all of them will be exchanged into US dollars!"

Even the stupidest person can understand after hearing these words.

Who can become the top businessman of this era knows how to observe the words and expressions, let alone a outstanding person like Shen Shukai. Before, he felt that he had heard the voices of uprising to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in Shanghai, and even the most stable north was dissonant. After arriving in Wuchang, he even heard the shouts of killing the Tartars on August 15th. In addition, the Sichuan Road Protection Movement has evolved into an armed conflict. It is said that the fight in Sichuan is already in trouble, and the Qing Dynasty has actually been in turmoil.

But it is not easy to ask him to close his stall at this moment. Not to mention that he is just a manager, a boss and major shareholders, just rectifying the semicolon immediately would be a considerable loss.

Yang Qiu saw Shen Shukai's thoughts and smiled slightly: "Brother Shen, I know you have concerns, after all, this matter sounds terrifying, but if you believe me, you might as well collect it for 2 months first. If I am wrong in 2 months, I guess the loss will not be too big."

"Only 2 months?"

From the Chengdu bloody incident to the Wuchang Uprising, it only took one month to complete the battle, so Yang Qiu said with certainty: "No, it's only 2 months! You will be open within 2 months as usual, as long as you pay attention to the safety of the money, it is enough."

After hearing Yang Qiu bite for two months, Shen Shukai was also a little moved. Xiao Anguo next to him frowned even more because Yang Qiu had said before that these two months were the key.

Manager Dong nodded and said, "Manager Shen, I think no matter whether Lord Yang is right or not, we should tighten the money. Just like this Chengdu semi-colon, which was robbed by a mob, could not be less than 200,000 yuan, so it would be okay to take some precautions in advance."

With this sentence from Manager Dong, Shen Shukai also had some conspiracy in his heart, and stood up and bowed: "Brother Yang, thank you for your reminder. I will ask local semicolons to do things carefully tomorrow. If something big happens as you said within two months, then Shen will definitely thank you very much!"

Hearing that Shen Shukai was finally convinced by himself, Yang Qiu sighed and picked up the leather bag and patted it. He said, "Brother Shen, you are polite. You forgot. I still want to do business with you." After that, he took out a thick stack of white paper with lines from his bag and handed it to the other party and said, "This is the big business I talked to you."

Although Shen Shukai didn't understand what was drawn above, he could vaguely see that it was some machines, some even like cannons, and he immediately wondered: "Brother Yang, what are you?"

Yang Qiu asked without answering, "I want to ask, is Brother Shen familiar with the Germans?"

"I know a few friends from German banks, and I have some contact with the German officials in Shandong."

"That's enough." Yang Qiu said with a thigh.

Hearing Yang Qiu's constant puzzle play, Xiao Anguo couldn't help but pull him and asked, "Brother, just say it, don't fight puzzles with me and brother Shen."

Yang Qiu immediately turned to the cannon picture and said, "This is the stepping stone for Brother Shen. This is the cannon on the French's latest battleship. Although it may not be as good as Germany, France and Germany are deadly enemies. I think the Germans will believe you seven or eight minutes after seeing this."

After saying that, he took out a few more drawings and continued, "This is the real deal. Although I don't know how much the Germans will pay, if these things are less than 500,000 US dollars, my brother will burn it."

"50 USD? 1 million taels of silver!" When Xiao Anguo heard that the few broken papers he was looking at were worth so much money, he asked quickly: "Brother, are you talking quickly, what is this?"

"It's only a matter of harming you when you say it now." Yang Qiu looked serious and looked at Shen Shukai and said, "Brother Shen, this picture is a big business, but it is also a death-hunting ghost. So if you want to make this deal, you must find a caring person to do it. I have a German explanation here, first let the Germans read the instructions, and then look at the drawings. And you must remember that the drawings must be stored separately, and you can only see half of them before the transaction is over!"

It’s not because Yang Qiu is cautious. Although he is sure that Germany will be moved by this thing and is willing to offer a big price, China is more like a foreigner than a Chinese world. If you want to take the chestnut from the hands of a robber who is used to snatching things, you have to be careful.

As soon as these words came out, even if Shen Shukai didn't understand, he knew that these drawings were of great importance, so he asked quickly: "Since Brother Yang believes in me, then I will do this business, but...will the Germans really want this thing?"

"I will! And they only need this most urgently. If you can see the German naval commander stationed in Qingdao, he will be more interested. But Brother Shen, you might as well be careful when you negotiate. If something goes wrong, you can tell them directly. If you have something to do, then the drawings will appear immediately in the hands of Britain and France! Of course... this is the last way to save your life, so don't start saying that."

After Yang Qiu took care of the three people, facing the surprised and surprised gazes, he finally smiled and said, "Tell the German guy, in addition to money, I also need 30 Maxim machine guns, 100 Maderson m50 machine guns and 1 million pointed bullets used in Europe. You must get them within 20 days. As for other brother Shen, you can do it yourself. Anyway, I only need arms, and I don't want anything else!"

Hearing the last sentence, Shen Shukai and Manager Dong suddenly got up, their scalp numb, "Brother Yang...you...you are the revolutionary party?!"
