I brought people and guns. But I didn’t bring any money.
You have to know, that’s one hundred thousand dollars! Dollars! Dollars! Say important things three times.
If Tanavaro is a liar, the loss will be huge.
Although he won't die, he will vomit blood.
You can lie to my feelings. You can lie to my body. But you can't lie to my money...
Italian Street is still so messy. There are guns everywhere.
I don’t know if the laws of the concession are of any use here. I feel that they are probably useless.
Someone whistled at Zhang Yong. I couldn’t figure out what it meant.
He doesn’t look like a pretty boy either!
A bunch of hungry guys...
"Tanavaro!"
"Tanavaro!"
Zhang Yong called in Italian.
I learned this sentence during previous interactions.
Looking for a bar, didn’t see it…
I looked for the second bar, but still didn’t see it…
With great difficulty, I finally found my target at the bar at the end.
result……
Zhang Yong immediately began to worry.
Before I raised $100,000, I didn’t worry about gains and losses.
However, now that I am holding one hundred thousand dollars in my hand and seeing Tanavaro lying on the ground, sleeping soundly and unconscious, I am really worried!
What if this guy goes back with $100,000 and is never heard from again...
It is impossible for him to go to Italy to arrest people.
Therefore, it is impossible for Madam to pay this deposit. As the person behind the Air Force, she cannot be so hasty.
Zhang Yong can only operate it by himself. If he loses, he has to bear it by himself.
"Crash..."
"Crash..."
Finally, after two basins of cold water were poured down, Tanavaro woke up.
This guy seems to be able to switch freely between drunk and sober. When he is drunk, he is really a pig. But when he wakes up, he is very energetic.
"I got the money." Zhang Yong said straight to the point, "a deposit of US$100,000."
"Really?" Tanavaro opened his eyes wide.
"Really. I can pay you now. Please ask Markey's financial staff to come and receive it."
"What finance?"
"I can't give you one hundred thousand dollars. Then you can take the dollars and run away!"
"Oh. There is no need for you to worry."
"Why?"
"Let me give you a little surprise."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong was very strange.
A small surprise? What surprise? There are still surprises?
"Take me to the dock."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Get in the car with Tanavaro and head to the Concession Pier.
I arrived at my destination quickly and found that the previous cargo ship had already left the port. I actually ran very fast.
At this moment, anchored in the unloading dock is a cargo ship flying the Italian flag. It is initially estimated that the displacement is about 3,000 tons.
Ocean freighters at that time generally had this displacement. There were also giant ships of 10,000 tons, but there were not many of them.
Later, when World War II broke out, the beautiful country needed a large number of cargo ships to transport strategic materials to all parts of the world, so they frantically built the 10,000-ton Liberty Ship.
As a result, in just three years, more than 2,700 10,000-ton freewheelers were built.
This is in addition to building a large number of aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, etc. This shows the terrifying manufacturing capabilities of the US empire.
Almost. This is also the peak state of the US manufacturing industry. In the future, in 2024, the US empire may not be able to be so terrifying.
The Italian freighter had dense weapons markings on it. It was obviously carrying arms.
"We just landed this morning."
"What's there?"
"Fifteen million rounds of ammunition. And five thousand rifles."
"Five thousand rifles?"
"Yes. This is my little surprise for you."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong was not surprised.
Five thousand rifles? He doesn't need them! Especially bolt-action ones.
It would be fine if it was 7.92mm, but if not...
As a result, after boarding the freighter, Zhang Yong saw the cargo list and suddenly felt dizzy.
The bullets, 15 million rounds, are all 7.92*57 mm. That’s right. They are standard Mauser bullets. The national army needs them very much.
But five thousand rifles are weird. They are actually bolt-action rifles with a caliber of 7.7 mm. But they are not Ying 77. To be precise, they are 7.7 mm caliber modified from Type 38 rifles.
and……
No matching bullets!
There is only a Type 38 rifle with a caliber of 7.7 mm, but no 7.7 mm bullets!
Funny...
A normal Type 38 rifle uses 6.5mm bullets.
You should change the caliber to 7.7mm. But there are no matching bullets produced. And you can’t use Yingqiqi bullets...
Isn’t this a fire stick?
If there is no matching bullet, what can it be used for? To fight with a bayonet?
Not to mention, it seems good to use a bayonet. The length of this weird rifle is exactly the same as the Type 38.
"So, where's the bullet?"
"No."
"What do you need a gun for if you don't have bullets?"
"Let me tell you this. In fact, the Japanese don't want this batch of goods."
"Why?"
"At the beginning, the Japanese Navy asked us to help them produce Type 38 rifles to equip the Marine Corps. But they did not want to use the Army's caliber. So they changed it to 7.7mm. But there was no mention of bullets. We didn't ask either. We thought they
They asked other countries to help produce bullets. This was normal. So they changed it directly."
"Then what?"
"Who would have known that after we produced 5,000 pieces, the Japanese Navy reacted and asked us to match the bullets. But the bullets were wrong!"
"Isn't it using British 7.7mm bullets?"
"The length of the magazine is wrong. It was modified directly from the 6.5 Type 38. The magazine was not redesigned. It cannot be loaded with British 7.7mm bullets."
"Well……"
"We want to increase money. And a lot of money. Because we need to develop new bullets. The Japanese did not agree. So there was a stalemate. In the end, nothing was done. The guns were produced, but the bullets were not available. The Japanese did not want these guns.
.So they have been kept in our warehouse. This time, I moved them all here."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
But trust Tanavaro's explanation.
Because only the Japanese can be so contradictory and create such weird things.
I didn't want to use the same caliber as the Army Red Deer, so I changed it! But I didn't expect that the bullets didn't match and were difficult to match. The result was tragic.
It is estimated that the Japanese navy has not realized that the production of bullets is more difficult than that of firearms.
Especially developing a new bullet is dozens of times more difficult than researching a new firearm.
"Then what do you do for me?"
"What if you need it sometime?"
"How can it be used without bullets?"
"You guys have to figure this out for yourself. There will always be a way."
"These five thousand rifles are not worth a hundred thousand dollars. Not even a mortgage."
"Of course, such a small surprise is not enough. There are still surprises behind."
"Can you finish it all at once? How many surprises are there? Is it really a surprise?"
"It's definitely a real surprise! Please see..."
Tanavarro pretends to be sophisticated.
Then he took Zhang Yong down to the lowest cabin.
"Please see..."
"ah……"
Zhang Yong was immediately stunned.
Lots of Italian guns!
many!
many!
There are dozens of doors!
Take a quick glance and calculate the approximate quantity immediately.
Fifty doors?
right!
Fifty Italian guns!
That is, a 75 mm caliber field gun. An imitation.
Go up.
Stroke carefully. Check the quality.
Although it is an imitation, the quality is really good.
Unfortunately, Li Yunlong couldn't find an Italian gun shop even if he wanted one. But there are fifty of them here.
"How many shells are attached?"
"No."
"What if there are no shells?"
"Buy the shells separately. The price is cheap. Guaranteed to be cheaper than the Czechs."
"you……"
Li Yunlong was convinced.
He is Italian after all! Awesome!
If anyone says that Italians are not good at doing business, Zhang Yong will tear his mouth apart.
This is totally the trick of later generations to sell printers!
Printers don't make money, but ink cartridges do.
It's almost like giving you five thousand rifles for free. But there are no bullets. You need to order special bullets.
Then we sell you fifty Italian cannons at a cheap price. But there are no cannon shells. You have to buy additional cannonballs.
It's said to be cheap, but it certainly won't be much cheaper in the end.
Of course, Tanavaro said it would definitely be cheaper than the Germans and Czechs, which is true.
Routines.
It’s all a routine!
However, it was confirmed from the side that Tanavaro did not intend to defraud money.
The other party just wanted to maximize profits, but did not expect to cheat directly. Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
"Cargo ships cannot unload cargo at the concession pier." Zhang Yong said slowly.
"Of course. I just want you to take a look at the samples here. Then the freighter will continue to Wusongkou Terminal and finally unload the goods there," Tanavaro said.
"That's okay." Zhang Yong nodded.
Tanavaro immediately arranged for the cargo ship to set sail for Wusongkou Pier.
The ship's speed was relatively slow. Even though the two docks were not far apart, it took more than an hour to get back into position.
Ashore again.
Zhang Yong suddenly discovered that Wusongkou Pier was still under martial law.
Come to think of it, Wusongkou Pier is under my control. I have never ordered the lifting of martial law. No one dared to order the lifting of martial law.
So...
It has been blocked until now.
Good guy, it turns out that I am quite a naughty big shot!
Go ashore.
"Team Leader Zhang."
"Team Leader Zhang."
The first one to come up and say hello was Yuan Zheng.
He finally returned to Wusongkou Pier. Of course, this was the arrangement of the garrison headquarters.
The second greeting is to greet the guest.
Without Zhang Yong's approval, he could not leave the dock. He was strictly restricted.
"roll!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand impatiently towards the guests.
Don't want to see this guy.
This guy can't achieve anything big. He can't even assassinate him.
Now that Yuan Zheng is back, he will continue to be the captain of the inspection team.
"Team Leader Zhang..."
"Captain Yuan, welcome back."
"They are all Team Leader Zhang..."
"Don't say any polite words yet, I'm going to make a phone call."
"Please, please!"
Yuan Zheng hurriedly led the way.
Soon, Zhang Yong came to the duty room of the inspection team and started making phone calls skillfully.
The call was, of course, to the Songhu Security Headquarters.
If so many weapons and ammunition are to be disembarked at Wusongkou, they must be under the jurisdiction of the Songhu Garrison Command.
5,000 rifles…
15 million rounds of ammunition…
50 Italian guns...
This ship full of arms, in Zhang Yong's opinion, is already very good.
Especially for the national army at that time, the replenishment of ammunition was very necessary.
The issue is……
How should it be reported?
Report it directly, it will be very trouble-free.
It seems that he has no merit.
It must be very thrilling, very difficult, very hard...
Then I thought of Yang Lichu.
If there is something good, I think I should report it to Madam first.
After the lady has finished picking, the rest will be given to others.
right.
The order is this.
Make no mistake. This is very important.
I immediately called back to Longhua Airport to find Yang Lichu. She was found quickly.
"What's the good news?"
"A little surprise."
"Say it."
"I met an Italian cargo ship at Wusongkou Pier, which was filled with arms..."
"What's there?"
"Five thousand rifles. Fifteen million rounds of ammunition. And fifty 75mm field guns."
"so much?"
"Yes. The Italians want to sell this batch of arms at a low price."
"Then I'll report it!"
"good."
Zhang Yong knew it was done.
Yang Lichu is a mouthpiece. She will convey the message.
Whether you want it or not, and how you want it, is a decision made by the top management. For sure, you definitely need the commission.
The foreigners sent arms to your door! How could you not want them?
However, the specific trade negotiations have nothing to do with Zhang Yong. He should just go catch the Japanese spies...
Suddenly, a yellow dot appeared on the edge of the map. There were many white dots with weapon symbols around it.
No red dots. Just white dots.
This shows that it is not Yan Guangkun's group, but other red elements.
I hurriedly walked to the top of the watchtower, climbed up to the roof, and observed the entire port from a high position. Then I discovered that it was Xiao Guo.
He was the young underground gangster who worked in Huichuntang Pharmacy.
He was indeed arrested. He was brought out, probably to identify other red elements. Or to lay a trap and wait for other red elements to take the bait.
Zhang Yong also knew the operations after capturing the target by heart.
Continuing to observe, I found that Xiao Guo was surrounded by spies. There were seven of them in total. They were all wearing shell guns.
However, they were not all the agents. More than two hundred meters away, there was a group of agents following them. There were more than thirty of them.
It can be seen that the agents at the back are the real main force.
The purpose of bringing Xiao Guo out was to kill or capture more red elements alive.
what to do?
With...
Zhang Yong immediately arranged the operation.
When the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department came to the entrance of Wusongkou Pier...
The inspection team leader Yuan Zheng, who had been reinstated, came out and asked them to temporarily hand over all their weapons for safety reasons.
Of course, the agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department refused. So the two sides started pushing and shoving.
The inspection team has more people. The seven agents are no match.
During the pushing and shoving, Xiao Guo was suddenly separated by a wall of people and was quickly taken away.
By the time the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department discovered something was wrong, Xiao Guo had disappeared. They were anxious and subconsciously drew their guns.
The agents who came up behind to support him were also anxious. Captain Feng Jiliang also ran up in a hurry. Then he saw Zhang Yong in the inspection team's office.
