Cheng Qianfan stood up, ordered Wu Shunjia to close the window, took out a map from his briefcase, picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.
The target of Shanghai Station is Mitsui Warehouse.
Among these Japanese warehouses, apart from Mitsui, the other heavyweight ones are those of Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Suzuki.
Cheng Qianfan has marked the exact locations of these warehouses on the map.
He measured it with the palm of his hand, and after making some secret calculations, he thought for a moment and said, "Give me the order to focus on investigating the situation in the Sumitomo 403 warehouse."
"I want to know the deployment of the Japanese security forces."
"One more thing, inform Zhao Yi that it's time to take action. Get the Mitsubishi 701 warehouse manifest before noon tomorrow." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile on his lips.
"Yes!" Yang Changnian nodded and said.
Cheng Qianfan stared at the map for a while, then suddenly let out a light sigh.
Cheng Qianfan's gaze crossed over to Warehouse 403 of Sumitomo Trading Company in Area 1, and finally stopped at Warehouse 901 in Area 3.
This is the warehouse of Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation.
According to what Cheng Qianfan learned, the materials in Mitsubishi's warehouse are comparable to those in Sumitomo's warehouse.
The reason why Cheng Qianfan initially chose Sumitomo Warehouse as his target was because Area 1 was far away from the Mailan District of the French Concession and closer to the Chinese border.
According to Cheng Qianfan's request, Jiang Mulezi and others had secretly summoned a group of boatmen and dock coolies. Once Sumitomo's warehouse is opened, they can empty it as quickly as possible. Even if it is too late to transport it away, they can also move it nearby.
This batch of supplies was handed over to the Chinese army.
However, Cheng Qianfan is now more interested in the Mitsubishi Warehouse in Area 2.
He did not choose Mitsubishi Warehouse before. The reason is very straightforward. Area 2 is very close to the Mailan District of the French Concession:
Currently, the French Concession is on full alert and inspections are strict. It is extremely difficult to plan a large-scale operation under the nose of the Mailan patrol house.
However, what now attracts Cheng Qianfan's attention and interest is that next to Mitsubishi's 901 warehouse is the 903 warehouse.
This 903 warehouse belongs to the French Boffin Company.
Cheng Qianfan is very familiar with the situation in the 903 warehouse.
Currently, there are a large number of medical bandages, medical alcohol, morphine, analgesics and other medical supplies and drugs in this cargo hold.
In addition, there is also a batch of automobile-related materials such as gasoline, diesel, automobile tires, engine oil, automobile spare parts, etc.
In addition, there are also some military uniforms, kettles, lunch boxes and other related military supplies of the French Annan Corps.
This batch of military supplies was supposed to be transported to Annan to equip the Annan Army.
However, with the stroke of a pen by Mr. Madier and others from Marseille, this batch of military supplies appeared on the list of shipping losses.
Yes, the materials in the warehouse of Baffin & Co. are all Cheng Qianfan's goods.
To be precise, Baffin Company was a company established by a group of "military reselling bureaucrats" from the French army's munitions department in Marseille, headed by Mr. Madiel.
Cheng Qianfan and Peter's firms placed orders with Baffin & Co., which shipped the goods from Marseille.
Although the goods in warehouse 903 in Area 2 still belong to Baffin & Co., it can actually be said to belong to Cheng Qianfan and Pete.
Although Pitt and Madier were son-in-law, there were many officials from the French munitions department behind Baffin and Matheson. In order to avoid suspicion, Baffin and Matheson had no relationship with Pitt. They established a company in Shanghai consisting of five Frenchmen.
The office formed is solely responsible for the business conduct of Baffin & Co.
At present, Cheng Qianfan and Pete's trading company have completed 50% of the upfront payment for this batch of goods. From the perspective of ownership, this batch of goods is almost equivalent to theirs.
Just because of the outbreak of the war, this batch of goods is still temporarily stored in the warehouse of Baffin & Co., and according to the contract, the ownership of the materials still belongs to Baffin & Co., Ltd.
Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Cheng Qianfan fell into deep thought.
He quietly took a puff of cigarette, and the smoke was filtered through the lungs and slowly exhaled through the nostrils.
A bold idea and plan quickly formed in his mind.
Cheng Qianfan popped a cigarette out of the cigarette case, lit it himself, held it in his mouth, and put out the cigarette butt.
He made a decision.
At this moment——
"I know the situation in Mitsubishi's warehouse better." Qiao Chuntao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
"Oh?" Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Chuntao pointed to the map and said: "Team leader, you arranged for us to investigate these warehouses. I paid special attention to Mitsubishi's warehouse at that time."
"Tell me the reason." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Qiao Chuntao and said.
Being able to arouse Qiao Chuntao's interest shows that there must be something special about Mitsubishi's warehouse.
"Next door to the Mitsubishi warehouse is the warehouse of a French company." Qiao Chuntao said, "The Mitsubishi warehouse is heavily guarded, but the guard force of the French company's warehouse is relatively lax."
"So?" Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes from his cigarette and asked.
"I observed that every warehouse has a side door. Going out from the side door of the French warehouse is the side door of the Mitsubishi warehouse." Qiao Chuntao said, "The Japanese focus on the front door of the warehouse. Because the side door is deeper, they
Instead, you won’t notice.”
"Tell me directly, what do you think?" Cheng Qianfan took out a lighter and lit the cigarette that was extinguished by the wind.
"We can use the French company's warehouse to capture the Japanese warehouse by surprise," Qiao Chuntao said.
"Hahaha." Cheng Qianfan nodded when he heard this and said with a smile, "Yes, I have an idea. The Japanese really didn't expect us to attack from the side door."
"It's not just the Japanese who can't think of it, the French can't think of it either." Qiao Chuntao's eyes seemed to be shining as she said, "These foreigners are not good people. Now that the war has broken out, there is chaos."
His breathing was a little rapid, and his speaking speed was getting faster and faster, and he said: "We have robbed the Japanese supplies, but we can also take advantage of the French warehouses..."
When Cheng Qianfan heard what Qiao Chuntao said, he looked at Qiao Chuntao with a slightly strange expression.
Yes, Qiao Chuntao's thoughts were the same as the decision he had just made, and Qiao Chuntao's observation of the warehouse and analysis of the reasons for his actions were the same as what he had planned.
However, hearing from Qiao Chuntao that this guy wanted to steal his supplies, Cheng Qianfan felt a little weird.
Of course, from an objective point of view, Cheng Qianfan was pleasantly surprised that Qiao Chuntao could think of starting from the warehouse of Baffin Matheson, and even being so bold as to rob the French warehouse.
Among his important subordinates:
Haozi is smart in doing things;
Li Hao is very cautious and has contacts with all three religions and nine schools. The most important thing is that he is the most loyal to him;
The little Taoist priest has first-class light body skills and is a master of action;
Ginger mule is thick and thin;
Wu Shunjia is a master of explosives;
Zhou Xiliang is good at imitating handwriting;
Hua Zhiquan is good at vehicle driving and repair;
Liu Yuchu is a sharpshooter;
Zhao Yi is good at Japanese;
Yang Changnian is a doctor;
These people all have their own characteristics.
However, it was Qiao Chuntao who Cheng Qianfan admired and valued the most.
Taozi is a master of interrogation and proficient in foreign languages.
Most importantly, what Cheng Qianfan admires most is Qiao Chuntao's calm mind.
Whether it was the timely detection of the Orange Group's tricks before, or his performance after breaking into the "Zhao Family Class", or his idea of using the French company's warehouse as a breakthrough point this time, Qiao Chuntao's performance made Cheng Qianfan extremely satisfied.
In addition, Qiao Chuntao does not have the kind of awe for the French, British, and Americans. Other subordinates would rarely think of it and would not dare to attack the French warehouses.
However, Qiao Chuntao dared to think and do it.
From Cheng Qianfan's point of view, Qiao Chuntao was thinking about how to take over the Mitsubishi warehouse, and then set his sights on Baffin Matheson's warehouse. He only cared about the results. As for the French being involved in the process, he didn't care at all.
If a Frenchman was needed to kill a Japanese, Cheng Qianfan believed that Qiao Chuntao would shoot each one without hesitation.
…
"Team leader, my subordinate's superficial words..." Qiao Chuntao said when she saw that the team leader didn't speak and was silent for a moment.
"Drink some tea." Cheng Qianfan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Qiao Chuntao himself, and said, "Ren your mouth."
Qiao Chuntao leaned forward to take the tea cup from Cheng Qianfan, glanced at him, and then said: "Thank you, team leader!"
"You observe very carefully and have very bold ideas." Cheng Qianfan poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Qiao Chuntao, and said with a smile, "It will take half a day, before noon tomorrow, to find out the latest situation of the 901 and 903 warehouses.
, can it be done?”
"Yes!" Qiao Chuntao put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said, "My subordinates have arranged for brothers to secretly watch the Mitsubishi warehouse. Any changes there are under our control."
"I need the most accurate information." Cheng Qianfan shook his head slightly.
"Yes, I understand," Qiao Chuntao said.
"Cancel the original plan, and for the latest confirmation, our target is Mitsubishi's 901 warehouse, and the French firm's 903 warehouse." Cheng Qianfan looked at Wu Shunjia, Yang Changnian and Qiao Chuntao and said.
"yes."
"clear."
"My subordinate understands."
"Just follow your plan, we will grab everything from the French and the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan looked at Qiao Chuntao and said slowly.
"yes!"
"My order." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
The three people immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Later, as a confidential contact, Yang Changnian was about to record it with pen and paper. Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "Use your brain to record it."
"Yes!" Yang Changnian put down the pen and paper.
"Qiao Chuntao is the team leader of this operation, and Jiang Mulezi is the deputy team leader." Cheng Qianfan tapped his fingers on the table, "Taozi led the brothers to be responsible for the clearing operation, and Jiang Mulezi's men were responsible for transporting supplies."
He looked at Qiao Chuntao and said, "You decide the action plan yourself. How many personnel need to be invested, how much ammunition is needed, how many minutes it takes to eliminate the enemy, how much time can be bought for the colleagues who are moving, if there is an enemy counterattack or an emergency, how can
Retreating can ensure the feasibility of several retreat plans, and these must be carefully considered."
"I understand." Qiao Chuntao's eyes were deep, she licked her lips and said in a low voice.
"You are responsible for contacting Jiang Mulezi." Cheng Qianfan pointed to Yang Changnian, "The brothers who are carrying the goods must be in place in advance and ensure that they have certain breakout capabilities in case of emergencies."
After a pause, Cheng Qianfan glanced at Wu Shunjia, pointed at the map, and said, "Here, here, and here, once the gun is fired, these three places are the only way for the Mailan patrol house to go to the dock. I need you to stop them.
half an hour."
Wu Shunjia did not answer immediately. He picked up a magnifying glass, looked at the map carefully, then picked up a pencil to write and draw on a piece of paper, and finally drew a circle on a place name he had written.
"Team leader, I need enough explosives." Wu Shunjia said.
"for you."
"We also need a brother who is familiar with the trails around here."
Cheng Qianfan looked at Qiao Chuntao. Qiao Chuntao was responsible for investigating the situation in the warehouse. The people under his command were most familiar with the terrain.
Qiao Chuntao nodded.
"Taozi will arrange someone for you." Cheng Qianfan said.
"We also need a brother with good marksmanship." Wu Shunjia made the last request.
"I'll make the arrangements." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Any questions?"
"No more." Wu Shunjia said.
"The action plan will be submitted to me for review tomorrow, and everything will be subject to my latest order." Cheng Qianfan said to Qiao Chuntao.
After the three people dispersed and left, Cheng Qianfan also evacuated immediately.
He did not leave from the main entrance, but went directly around to the other side of the second floor and entered a private room.
Open the window of the private room and there is a ladder underneath.
After getting off the ladder, walk about a hundred steps along a path and enter an alley.
After a few meows.
A figure flashed out of the darkness.
"Sir." Hao Zai whispered, shaking his head slightly at the same time, which meant that no one was following him.
Cheng Qianfan said nothing and continued to move forward.
After exiting the alley and turning into an alley, the two of them walked to the end and stopped in front of a house. Haozi knocked on the door.
There were footsteps inside.
"Who?" came a low voice from inside.
"Xia Xiaobai." Hao Zai whispered.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing the face of the white shrimp.
The two of them walked through the courtyard and directly entered the main room.
"Team leader."
"Team leader."
Li Hao, the little Taoist priest and Jiang Mulezi stood up immediately.
"Everyone, sit down." Cheng Qianfan pressed his hands.
"yes!"
Cheng Qianfan came to the wall and stared at the map on the wall.
This is nailed to the wall with thumbtacks.
"Ginger Mule." Cheng Qianfan drew a line on the map with a pencil.
"My subordinate is here."
"The target has been determined, 901 Mitsubishi Warehouse." Cheng Qianfan said, "There is also the 903 Warehouse of Baffin & Co. of France."
"Start from the French warehouse, and then capture the Japanese warehouse through the side door." He paused and said, "Qiao Chuntao will lead the brothers to be responsible for the assault mission. Your task is to lead the people as quickly as possible.
, do a good job in the transportation of materials and the subsequent hiding of materials."
"My subordinate understands."
"In addition." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Zhuo Yun, "You inform Liu Yuchu that his mission is to cooperate with Wu Shunjia to stop the reinforcement patrol here for an hour."
"Understood." The little Taoist priest nodded.
"Haozi." Cheng Qianfan said.
"My subordinate is here."
"Your task is very simple and the most critical." He said with a serious expression, "Keep an eye on Su Zhikang."
Su Zhikang is the inspector of the Mailan Police Station and a close friend of Cheng Qianfan.
