"Brother," Heshengtang's big red stick Lu Shangming said to Xiang Qiyi, "Lin Ji's informants have already penetrated into Manila. I hope that eldest brother will make a decision soon to avoid long nights and dreams."
Xiang Qiyi remained silent. He glanced at the brains in the large flower hall who were holding their breath waiting for him to make up his mind, and finally his eyes fell on the plaque in the middle of the flower hall.
Juyi Hall.
I chose this name because I wanted to imitate the heroes of Liangshan in those days, who gathered heroes from all over the world to discuss the plan to revitalize China. Now Xiang Qiyi stared at the plaque with an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Shangming waited for a while, then stepped forward to persuade: "Lin Ji's expansion in Manila and even the entire southern Philippines has forced us to have no choice. Lin Youde still clings to the right to print and issue Nanyang tickets, and now he gives it to the coolies.
They are not willing to take the money. The little money we have earned through hard work has to be converted into Nanyang bills before we can use it as money. In this way, our lifeline is in Lin Ji's hands. We rely on normal
Their methods of doing business are simply incompetent."
"That's right," someone in the flower hall responded, "we need to exchange the silver for bills with their Nanyang Bank. Their bills are printed directly, so how can we fight!"
"Hmph," Xiang Qiyi curled his lips contemptuously, "Shopkeeper Li, I think even if you don't have Nanyang Tickets, you can't beat Lin Youde's Lin Ji."
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Li was not annoyed, but instead picked up Xiang Qiyi's words: "I, Li Quanfei, am not good at business, but I am a child who has no deception and convinces others with virtue, and at least he has conquered a world. But this Lin Youde, who uses clever tricks to plunder, is actually
Disdained by gentlemen."
After Li Quanfei finished speaking, the contempt on Xiang Qiyi's face became more obvious. Even the other people in the flower hall also curled up their lips in contempt. Everyone knew that Li Quanfei made his fortune by bullying and dominating the market. It is common for him to be deceived and abducted by force.
Attacks on opponents also happen frequently. If he was operating with integrity, then there would be no profiteers in the world.
Li Quanfei was quite thick-skinned. He turned a blind eye to everyone's disdainful attitude, and instead began to persuade Xiang Qiyi: "Originally, our Hong Kong Hongmen contributed the most to the uprising in the Philippines, but now we are hampered by Lin Youde everywhere. Lin Youde just used
Male lust seduced that yellow-haired girl Nie Xueqiu and a few Japanese ladies, and now it is becoming popular. How long can we tolerate this situation? "
Xiang Qiyi thought to himself: Didn't you bastards start robbing all kinds of things when they arrived in the Philippines, so that the Americans cut off their aid and turned to Lin Youde?
But Xiang Qiyi has no intention of pointing this out at this time. Now it is a fact that Lin Ji's family is the dominant one. If they want to find balance, they must stick together.
At this time, Li Quanfei continued to be impassioned: "In the past, we were afraid of the power of the goddess in Lin Ji's hands, but now we no longer need to worry about this. Even if the rebels in North America remain neutral and do not send the generals to participate in the war, we still have ways to check and balance Lin Youde, so that
He does not dare to use Shen Ji to support the front line. How can he give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Xiang Qiyi stared at Li Quanfei for a while, and then said slowly: "Our purpose at Heshengtang is to bring harmony and wealth..."
"Of course, be nice," Li Quanfei said, "we don't want to beat him until Lin Ji is wiped out. We just want them to spit out some of the meat in their mouths and give us some broth to drink."
Li Quanfei's words won unanimous approval among the young people, but the old guys who really controlled the lobby didn't say anything.
Xiang Qiyi glanced at the entire large flower hall again, his eyes wandering around the young group headed by Li Quanfei for a few more times, with a sense of resentment that iron cannot become steel.
Can Lin Ji move at will?
Xiang Qiyi saw clearly that Lin Ji's roots had penetrated into the Philippine soil. If the second town rose up against Lin Ji, the first people who would be unhappy would definitely be the people in the area under their control. He Xiang Qiyi became the **
The eldest brother is capable, but compared to Lin Youde's methods of bribing people, he can only feel inferior.
And behind Lin Ji are Americans. Although the United States is considered second-rate among the great powers, it is still one of the great powers. What's more, the information obtained by Xiang Qiyi points out that the next big boss of the United States is likely to be Lin Youde's backer Theodore.
Roosevelt.
More importantly, the country that threw the embroidery ball at Xiang Quyi at this time also had many problems in Xiang Quyi's view. If he was not careful, he might become a thorn in the side of the empire on which the sun never sets...
Deutschland and The Sun Never Sets, Xiang Qiyi thinks the latter is more terrifying.
However, it is not an easy thing to let the younger generation of young boys understand this. Xiang Qiyi turned to the old guys. Although the old guys all maintained their usual expressions and the expressions on their faces were spotless, Xiang Qiyi still remained
You can guess what they are planning - because Xiang Qiyi himself is also planning something similar.
It is impossible to completely fall out with Lin Ji, but it is possible to use the power of Germany to force Lin Ji to restrain himself a little.
So, Xiang Qiyi coughed a few times, suppressed the noise of the young people in the flower hall, and said slowly: "Okay, okay, stop making noise, let me be quiet for a while, come back here tomorrow, and I will tell you my decision.
."
Originally, Xiang Qiyi pursued the idea of a few people making big decisions. Today, he summoned this group of people just to test their reaction. From the beginning, Xiang Qiyi had no intention of referring to the opinions of everyone. It was exactly this kind of thing.
The rather arbitrary approach has ensured Heshengtang's prosperity over the years.
After everyone left, Xiang Qiyi turned to the screen of the flower hall and said loudly to the people sitting behind the screen: "Mr. Siegfried, I have made a decision. When will your Shenji Battalion arrive in Manila?"

After stabilizing, Lin Youde began to establish his own intelligence organization. Several wars after the last time and space entered the 20th century clearly demonstrated the importance of intelligence. During World War II, the United States relied on deciphering the Japanese military code to complete the mysterious mission of Midway.
In order to make a comeback, the British relied on deciphering German submarine code communications to prevent and control wolves, etc., which were all classic examples of intelligence warfare in World War II. As for the third domestic revolutionary war, the country's incompetent intelligence capabilities were used to regain the disadvantage.
Not to mention.
Faced with the Turtle Party's ability to establish a party branch in Chang Gong's confidential location, which can only be described as cheating, Chang Gong actually lost unjustly.
Therefore, Lin Youde, who understood the importance of intelligence warfare and work behind enemy lines, immediately selected a few smart people and sent them to various places to carry out intelligence work after graduating from his White Feather Fan class.
Most of these people failed. After all, intelligence work is not that easy, but two of them successfully lurked and began to establish an intelligence network.
One was Pan Jiuguo in Manila. Lin Youde thought this name was too annoying and looked like a revolutionary party, so he personally changed his name to "Pan Runyue". Lin Youde thought that this Tubulaji name was easy to hide.
It's a good name for an agent.
Of course, this name also reflects Lin Youde's expectations for his students: I hope that he can be like the top spy king in East Asia with the same surname Pan in the previous time and space, and penetrate the enemy's forces into holes. By the way, Lin Youde personally
I feel very sorry for this real spy Wang Ming. He is 10,000 times better than those guys from the Central Military Commission who only know how to assassinate, but Mao Renfeng and Dai Li have become famous through brainless spy dramas. The real spy
The hero has disappeared into history, leaving behind a desolate figure.
Now, Pan Runyue, clad in the night, turned into the small courtyard where she lived.
He hid in the shadows beside the courtyard door and listened quietly for a while. After confirming that there was no movement in the courtyard, he slipped into the courtyard and opened the door of the chicken coop.
Several old hens were alarmed by the breeder's behavior and clucked a few times uneasily.
Pan Runyue dug out a box from a pile of chicken feathers and hay. He placed the box on the stone platform in the courtyard and opened the top cover of the box.
Inside the box was a machine that looked quite sci-fi by the standards of this era. Pan Runyue put on her headphones, held the joystick on the left side of the machine with her left hand, and began to shake it at a fixed rate. She grabbed the keys with her right hand and began to move regularly.
Beat it up.
The regular ticking sound of Morse code sounded quietly in the small courtyard, blending indiscernibly with the chirping of insects in early spring.
