Chapter 937: Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda
"What else is good?"
"It's not me who sells it. It's me who buys it. I buy it from your hands."
"I sell?"
Zhang Yong was surprised. He had nothing to sell.
The whole of China is very poor. What do you need? Tung oil? Tungsten sand? Damn.
You just want to make quick money. What you make is sideways.
"I buy, you sell."
Tanavaro's English is very good and he speaks very clearly.
How clear is it? It's like level 4 listening. It's very standard. But it's easier to communicate.
"what are you looking for?"
"people."
"people?"
"Yes. Man."
"who?"
"A man who can fight."
"fight?"
Zhang Yong understood. They were actually mercenaries.
Combined with Tanavaro's identity, there is no one else who can fight except mercenaries.
"Don't you have anyone in Italy?"
"The Italians can't fight. We can't count on them."
"This is true."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
I didn't expect that Tanavaro was so self-aware.
Later facts proved that Lianyuan Capital was deceived by Italy. It was still very miserable.
"Where to go?"
"Spain."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong was silent.
This Tanavaro has a really flexible mind.
At this moment, Spain is really an area where mercenaries are active. There will be many mercenaries in the future.
There are those who support Franco, and there are those who support the other side.
Some fight for money; some fight for faith.
There is no doubt that these will not be written in the history books. However, it is real and played a great role in the three-year civil war.
Are there any Chinese people involved? Probably not. At least, there are no organized ones.
The distance is too far. Out of reach.
How far is Spain from Shanghai? More than 10,000 kilometers.
Even if you use a radio to make contact, you have to use a radio with a power of more than 30W. It is estimated that 15W will not work.
too far...
too far...
"I need veterans who can fight."
"Yes, yes..."
Zhang Yong answered slowly.
Veterans who can fight? Frankly speaking, there are many.
In the past twenty or thirty years, the war within China has never stopped.
I don’t know how many veterans youzi produced.
If they were deployed on the Spanish battlefield, they might really be able to occupy a place.
Their fighting qualities are absolutely excellent.
The issue is……
This is a war abroad!
wrong.
It’s going abroad. Simply going abroad.
As for what to do after going abroad, that is a personal choice.
Will anyone want to go?
Zhang Yong really didn't know.
He asked Tanavaro slowly, "What are your plans?"
"I want to form a team of three thousand people." Tanavaro said quickly, "We have connections in Valencia."
"Valencia?"
"Yes. Valencia. We can control Valencia and then use it as a base to head towards Madrid or Barcelona."
"etc……"
Zhang Yong quietly switched the world map.
He didn't know that he could see the map of Spain, so he adjusted to the location of Spain.
I found that the map was gray. No information could be seen. But the basic city names were still there. With this, there was no need for paper maps.
Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Serbia, Cordoba...
It seems that the map also comes with some basic tools. Such as distance measurement, search, marking, etc.
It seems that you can also switch to the terrain map. You can see the general terrain. But it is not possible at the moment.
"Zhang, do you have any suggestions?"
"Your idea is very good. I agree. However, the distance is too far, so it is difficult to contact there."
"Indeed. The radio signal is unstable."
"That……"
"But, we have solved the problem."
"How to solve?"
"We use a cargo ship, anchored in Muscat. There is a large radio station on the ship. Do you know Muscat?"
"Let me think."
Zhang Yong quickly searched for Muscat on the world map.
I found it quickly. Oh, it's next to the Arabian Sea. Which country does it belong to now? It doesn't seem to be mentioned.
The political landscape of the world in 1936 was very different from that of later generations. The Middle East seemed to be quite unorganized. But it doesn't matter, just know where it is. It was at the strategic point of the Persian Gulf. It seems to be a must-have for military strategists in later generations.
Land. But now, no one seems to be paying attention.
Because at this moment, the oil on the coast of the Persian Gulf seems to have not been developed on a large scale. Not many people have noticed it yet. This is a colony of the British. But it seems that the British have not discovered oil on a large scale yet...
etc!
etc!
Zhang Yong's blood suddenly surged.
In a short period of time, I actually felt a little faint. It seemed that I was too excited.
Persian Gulf oil!
Ah, oil…
Persian Gulf…
Take a deep breath. What did Catherine say before?
They said they could buy land for themselves in India at the cheapest price? But I had no interest in India, so I set my sights on Australia.
Now I realize that I am very stupid. I actually forgot that there are a large number of British colonies along the Persian Gulf coast!
There is a movie called "Lawrence of Arabia"?
It's a desert again. It's desolate. It's arid. It's a barren land. The price is definitely cheaper.
If I could get some potential oil fields, wouldn't it be...
Of course, you can't show up on your own.
Otherwise, if the British turn against us in the future, we will suffer a big loss.
You can use Catherine to come forward. Or another British person. Preferably someone with some status.
In Britain, some old aristocrats actually have little wealth and are very poor. However, they still have the aristocratic airs and still have some influence.
If these people come forward to buy the land and oil is discovered in the future, others will not dare to do anything hard.
Alas, the map is still not perfect.
It would be great if it could display the major minerals in the world...
[Additional function modules are being loaded...]
[Mount the mineral map...]
[Insufficient energy, mounting failed...]
There is information passing by.
Zhang Yong:???
Hope suddenly turned into disappointment.
How weak is the energy of the system?
I didn't even succeed in mounting a map. Really. Try exploding an atomic bomb?
Startled.
Exploding an atomic bomb? Close range?
joke……
Whether the system can absorb enough energy, God knows. However, he will definitely die.
have no choice.
Only accept reality.
Fortunately, this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight.
With Catherine's current energy, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve. At least she will have to wait until the expeditionary force period...
"Did you think of it?"
"In the Arabian Sea? Persian Gulf exit?"
"Yes. It just happens to be able to relay signals. I have tried it repeatedly and it is very smooth. My communications with Sicily are all relayed there."
"good."
Zhang Yong's mind gradually became active.
If there really is a large radio station relaying in the Arabian Sea, radio communication will be no problem.
Then, the remaining question is, how to find someone...
Open recruitment will definitely not work.
This kind of thing cannot be exposed. It cannot have any official nature.
It is even better not to appear in public information. Everything is a secret operation. Mercenaries are ghosts and do not exist on the surface at all.
Decades ago, many Chinese went to the beautiful country of San Francisco, saying they were looking for gold...
Is there anyone now who is willing to go to distant Spain or go to war...
That's too far.
That's all for the future.
Now, let's continue to catch spies and make some small money...
"actually……"
"What?"
"I also have someone who wants to sell you."
"people?"
"Yes. Spanish. Do you want it?"
"What's the explanation?"
"There was chaos there, and many people wanted to go abroad. But after getting on the ship..."
Tanavaro started laughing.
His smile is a little bit charming. He eats people without spitting out their bones.
Zhang Yong understood.
Tanavaro deserves to be the one who takes advantage of the odds.
This guy is planning to attack the Spaniards. Or just eat them up and wipe them clean.
They charge you a sum of money, trick you into boarding the ship, then rob you of it, and then throw it away in every corner.
Unjust or not?
Of course it's unfair.
but……
This is how the world is.
In troubled times, human life is like grass.
"You don't want to send them to Shanghai, do you?"
"why not?"
Tanavaro's smile became even more charming.
Zhang Yong:……
This guy is really cruel and ruthless.
After eating and wiping them clean, they threw them into Shanghai. Nothing happened.
No one cares.
No one can control it.
"Do you want me to throw them into the sea halfway?"
"Don't."
Zhang Yong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
No matter what, there is still a way to survive when you come to China.
However, if you are thrown into the sea halfway, or directly hacked to death, it will really be hell on earth.
Don't mention it. Such things have definitely happened. Even quite a few.
Many people may have just boarded the ship and not far out to sea, but they were already killed.
They are lucky to have come all the way to China. In this world, there are many people who are more ruthless and cruel than Tanavaro.
"You still want to charge me money?"
"You don't want it? Then I will all sink into the sea."
"How much?"
"No matter how big or small, whether male or female, they all cost fifty dollars each."
"You might as well go grab it."
"I only charge travel expenses."
"Ten dollars. The most I can pay is ten dollars."
"make a deal."
"Depend on……"
Zhang Yong found out that he had been deceived.
This damn Tanavaro is more ruthless than himself.
He extorted ten dollars from a dead man. However, saving a life was better than building a seven-level pagoda. He accepted it.
Otherwise, if he didn't want it, Tanavaro might really sink those Spaniards into the sea.
I'm from Sicily, will I be polite to you?
He is really saving lives. Ten dollars save one. Alas...
"Don't worry. I guarantee it's original."
"What's the meaning?"
"Even if you have a beautiful Spanish girl, I won't touch you. What you were like before you got on the ship will be the same after you got off the ship."
"roll!"
"Zhang, we will continue to cooperate for a long time in the future. I am optimistic about you."
"Then take care of your people. Remember your promise. What you were like before you got on the ship will be the same after you got off the ship."
"Don't worry. If someone tells me that she was assaulted by someone on the ship, I will immediately kill them. We Sicilians also have a good reputation in our work."
"good."
Zhang Yong replied bitterly.
I thought to myself, do you still have credibility? It’s weird for me to trust you.
However, since Tanavaro can make such a promise, it can be regarded as giving him face. The other party indeed hopes to cooperate with him for a long time.
Without him, it is due to interests.
I have a lot of "foresight" and can help the other party make a fortune.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Tanavaro is willing to listen to his own advice, it is really possible to become the boss of Sicily.
The black and white take it all kind of thing.
Now I am taking advantage of others. I will be clean in the future.
When did the Allied forces land in Sicily? It seems to be 43 years. It should be...
Before 43 years, he worked hard to accumulate wealth and complete primitive accumulation. After 43 years, he washed his hands and marched to Rome under the protection of the Allies. Hehe.
It is a bit difficult to become the top 10 people. But it is not difficult to become the top 50 people and become a powerful member of the parliament.
"Find me when you arrive."
"good."
Zhang Yong said goodbye and came out.
I found a red dot on the edge of the map. It was marked.
Check it out and find it is Xu Sheng.
Ah, Tungsten Sha. I need to find him.
However, as soon as his eyes rolled, Zhang Yong changed his mind again.
Directly to your door?
Of course not.
Time-consuming.
Let's get something better.
Arrange immediately.
Change clothes.
Arrests.
Xu Sheng drove into the concession, and as soon as he turned the corner, he realized something was wrong.
A car next to him suddenly rushed out and forced his car to stop. Before he could react, a group of men in black appeared and held him down.
Seb.
Bundle.
Headgear.
Drag away.
The movements are done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Some passers-by saw it, but before they could react, everything in front of them had disappeared.
Even Xu Sheng's car was driven away quickly without leaving any trace.
Xu Sheng was anxious. He didn't know who it was.
Could it be Zhang Yong?
Damn...
I have already given the money myself.
You bastard, you don’t care about credibility...
Suddenly I heard a strange voice coming from behind, "We are the navy..."
He spoke Japanese, with a hint of Satsuma accent.
Xu Sheng was immediately confused. Navy?
Baga! Navy Red Deer!
They actually kidnapped me! What did they want?
It's really the opposite...
"Our navy needs tungsten sand." The voice from behind continued, "We need a lot of tungsten sand."
"Ahhh..." Xu Sheng wanted to speak, but his mouth was stuffed with rags.
After a while, the rag was removed from his mouth.
He was anxious and angry, panting desperately. He wanted to look around, but he saw nothing.
The rag in his mouth was removed, but he still wore a hood.
"I don't have tungsten sand." He replied angrily, "I don't know where to get it."
"Someone in Shanghai has tungsten sand. But we don't know who it is. So, we need you to come forward." Zhang Yong said slowly.
"Why do you..."
"Snapped!"
Before he finished speaking, he was already slapped.
Xu Sheng immediately cut back the second half of his words, not daring to make any further protest.
If you protest you will be beaten.
He didn't want to get beaten.
The opponent is Navy Red Deer. Who knows if he will really be killed?
silence.
Non-violence and non-cooperation.
"Snapped!"
As a result, he got slapped again.
Xu Sheng's anger surged, but he had no choice but to endure it.
"If you don't agree, we will hang you on the mast of the Nagato. Then we will squeeze out the oil from your flesh and wash the deck of the battleship..."
"I promise. I promise. I promise..."
Xu Sheng had no choice but to change his mind.
A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences. He doesn't want to continue to be beaten.
"very good."
Zhang Yong took out a stack of banknotes and placed them in front of the other party.
Exactly ten thousand oceans.
This is the deposit. If you don’t want to let go of the child, you can’t trap the wolf.
"I'll give you a deposit of ten thousand oceans. After you find the tungsten sand, sell it to us at a price of eight hundred oceans per ton."
"What?"
"Tungsten sand costs eight hundred oceans per ton. If the price is higher than this, we won't want it."
"Well……"
"We placed a deposit. This is a dead deal. It must be completed. If you can't get the tungsten sand, just wait to be hung on the mast and drifting!"
"I……"
"After you get the tungsten sand, go to the entrance of the Zhabei Concession. Someone will naturally contact you."
"yes……"
Xu Sheng agreed doubtfully.
Then, I felt the footsteps fade away. It seemed like everyone had left.
The last person to leave seemed to have untied the rope that bound him. But Xu Sheng himself did not dare to act easily.
It wasn't until he was sure that there was no movement around that he cautiously opened his eyes. Then he took off his hood and found that it was an empty house. There was really no one else around. There was only a stack of banknotes placed neatly on the table in front of him.
Ah, do you really have a banknote?
Does Navy Red Deer really need to buy tungsten sand?
One ton of tungsten sand costs eight hundred oceans?
