"Haha, Xiao Xiang, let me introduce to you. This is Director Jiang. She is an important member of our Daming East Factory! Haha, Director Jiang, this is..."
Jiang Meilu did not interrupt him and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang with a smile. After Zheng Houye finished the introduction, he winked at Xiang Xiaoqiang like an old acquaintance, meaning: Old acquaintance, you are more respectable than me. You and Hou
Tell me!
Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head, sighing secretly at this woman's caution, and smiled:
"Haha, Lord Marquis, to tell you the truth, Director Jiang and I are old acquaintances."
Zheng Gongyin said curiously:
"oh?"
Jiang Meilu then turned his face and gave the Marquis a brief introduction to the last time they met with a smile.
Zheng Gongyin laughed and said:
"That's even better. Since we are old acquaintances, we can get twice the result with half the effort by working together!"
cooperate?
Jiang Meilu was dressed particularly smartly today, wearing a beige women's windbreaker, snow-white gloves, a cashmere bud hat, and a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses. Overall, she felt heroic and slender.
Her small bag was placed on the square table, and at her feet was a rectangular suitcase about one meter long, which looked like a violin box. It was the kind that the black-clad guards in the yard carried. I don't know what it contained.
Jiang Meilu took off his gloves and said with a smile:
"Mr. Xiang, I would like to thank you very much. Thanks to your blessing, I have been transferred back to another bureau. Haha, this time the factory supervisor arranged for me to work with Mr. Xiang."
Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, so he laughed and said:
"Director Jiang, speak quickly, speak quickly, I can't beat you in riddles."
Jiang Meilu smiled and said:
"Since we want to work together, we must be honest and honest. At the beginning of the year, I was under the supervision of the factory supervisor. Something went wrong... and I was temporarily transferred to the second bureau. Although the supervisor followed His Majesty's secret order this time, this matter
The fewer people who know about the matter, the better. Because it was me and Mr. Xiang who...well, talked about it that day. I am the only one who knows Mr. Xiang in the East Factory, so it is inconvenient to involve others. In addition, I am originally responsible for a bureau.
Second Division, it’s just right to come back and take charge of this matter now. Mr. Xiang, haha, isn’t this thanks to you?”
The first game in Dongchang is mainly about clearing, which is the most important among all the games. The first three places in a game are the most important among all.
The first department is called the Intelligence Department. Its main task is to dispatch regular spies to various important departments of the Qing Dynasty to collect intelligence and develop a spy network. The spies in this department are the most secretive and high-level.
The second department is called the Enemy Behind Department, which is mainly responsible for developing underground organizations in the Qing-occupied areas, leading various anti-Qing gang organizations among the people, providing them with weapons, funds, training, etc., as well as conducting wireless broadcasts and publishing promotional materials in the Qing-occupied areas.
.The responsibilities of this section are more complex, not mainly focused on directly collecting intelligence, and are more political in nature.
The third department is called the Operations Department, which goes directly to the Qing occupied area to carry out assassinations, sabotage and other tasks. It is filled with agents and killers. Generally, small-scale tasks that are not suitable for commandos are carried out by them.
Jiang Meilu is now reinstated and is still the director of the second division.
This armed rescue is such a big operation, and it was carried out by Dongchang bypassing the government and secretly cooperating with the royal family. It is not very visible, and may cause heavy casualties. It is unrealistic to draw people from Dongchang on a large scale, and the three offices will definitely not be able to do it.
, Xiang Xiaoqiang had to lead the team to do it. In addition, the operation to clear the occupied area required the cooperation of the local underground organization, so the factory supervisor arranged for Jiang Meilu from the Second Division to cooperate with him.
Jiang Meilu gave a few simple hints, and Xiang Xiaoqiang knew it all.
Jiang Meilu looked at Lord Zheng and asked carefully:
"Master Hou, this...have you and Mr. Xiang reached an agreement?"
Zheng Gongyin laughed, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, and said to Jiang Meilu:
"All other conditions have been discussed, and Mr. Xiang is quite satisfied. However, the specific number of remuneration has not been discussed yet..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him:
"Master Marquis, let's wait until the numbers are finalized. I don't know the specific situation yet. To put it bluntly, I don't know yet whether this matter is life or death. So, haha, let's talk about the matter first.
, the numbers say at the end.”
Jiang Meilu was startled and looked at Zheng Gongyin, meaning why did you get here before the agreement was reached? Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't listen to the remuneration figure, which means he didn't make the final decision. He wanted to hear all their secrets first before deciding whether to do it or not.
Qian. He really knows how to take the initiative!
Zheng Gongyin smiled and said to Jiang Meilu:
"What Mr. Xiang said makes sense. After all, you are risking your life, so it makes sense to be cautious."
Jiang Meilu hesitated for a moment and thought it made sense, so he nodded and said with a smile:
"Okay, Mr. Xiang is so cautious, which is the style of our intelligence bureau. He doesn't agree easily, but if he agrees, he will do his best. If someone comes up and pats his chest, it won't make people feel at ease. Mr. Marquis, what do you think?
Right?"
She chuckled, first took out a square of velvet cloth from her bag, spread it on Lord Zheng's mahogany table, then bent down, struggled to lift up the rectangular violin case, and gently placed it on it.
Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that the violin case was very heavy and could not be a violin. The guards just now each had one, so they probably had some kind of firearm.
Jiang Meilu glanced at him, smiled slightly, unlocked the door with a click, and lifted the lid.
Lying in the violin case was a familiar figure.
——American Thompson M1928 submachine gun.
…
"Oh," Xiang Xiaoqiang suppressed his pounding chest and laughed, "it turns out to be a Chicago violin."
Both of them were stunned:
"Chicago Violin?"
"This gun also has a nickname, called the Chicago Typewriter," Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, "This Thompson submachine gun is the favorite of Chicago gangsters, and it is indispensable for bloody street fights. The sound of its gunshot is somewhat similar to the sound of a typewriter, those
The Mafia called it the Chicago Typewriter. Because they also liked to put it in a violin case, they called it the Chicago Violin.”
The two of them looked at him with a look of surprise and admiration, and thought to themselves: After all, he is from MI6, but it's just different.
In fact, due to the merger of the Chicago Mafia, "Chicago Violin" had already become famous in the arms circle at this time. However, Mr. Zheng was just a marquis, and although Jiang Meilu was from Dongchang, he had no contact with this. If she
It's from the Three Operations Division, so you'll know for sure.
Xiang Xiaoqiang walked over as calmly as possible and reached for the gun. The gun was much heavier than he thought. Xiang Xiaoqiang took it for a moment but failed to pick it up. He calmly added a little more force and grabbed this famous World War II gun.
Got up.
This gun is quite beautiful. There is a wooden stock under the barrel at the front, a wooden stock at the back, and a steel middle section. A straight-handled thirty-round magazine is inserted underneath.
In the mid-1930s, there were very few submachine guns. They basically did not appear in the armies of various countries. They were all rare items in the army. Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered that there were not many decent submachine guns at this time. Thomson was so successful.
It's an anomaly.
After all, Zheng Gongyin is a man, and men are naturally interested in weapons. He came over and said curiously:
"The palace guards outside use this kind of gun. At present, except for the guards and commandos, there are no other troops in the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Xiang, you know more, what do you think of this kind of gun?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't know whether the Marquis was really curious or wanted to test him. He smiled slightly, held up the gun with one hand and stroked it with the other, and said tactfully:
"This kind of gun is good. It has a fast rate of fire and strong firepower. The theoretical rate of fire reaches 800 rounds per minute. It can be said to be the fastest automatic weapon now. Well, there is another one, the mg34 machine gun that Germany just equipped last year.
The speed is almost the same. That kind of gun is not very famous, so you may not know it. But when it comes to the shortcomings, it is obvious that it is too heavy. The whole gun weighs 4.9 kilograms, which is nearly ten kilograms. It is also too expensive and the structure
It’s complicated and requires a large amount of equipment, which would be beyond the capabilities of most countries.”
Jiang Meilu looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang and almost felt a little inferior. They were all working as intelligence agents. She had worked for at least ten more years than him, but she didn't know anything. He knew everything...
Zheng Gongyin patted Xiaoqiang on the shoulder and sighed:
"Xiao Xiang is really good, he has a few tricks. How about this gun? It's good, how many rings can it hit?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang said calmly:
"I haven't used it."
The two of them were stunned and smiled at Xiaoqiang:
"It's really useless. Our intelligence office is the same as Ming Dynasty. It mainly relies on brains instead of guns. Such a fierce guy can only be used by commandos. Director Jiang understands."
After hearing what he said, both of them were relieved. However, they still looked a little disappointed when they heard that he didn't know how to use a submachine gun.
Jiang Meilu smiled slightly:
"Mr. Xiang, if each person has one gun like this, will the firepower be enough?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was shocked. This thing has enough firepower for each person. He asked:
"How many people can I command?"
Jiang Meilu glanced at him and said hesitantly:
"Maybe not too many... Because the government does not cooperate with this matter and the army cannot provide support, so everything is paid for by His Majesty himself. Well... even the plane has to use His Majesty's own plane, so there is only one, subject to this restriction
, Mr. Lian Xiang, you cannot have more than fifteen people."
Fifteen-person limit? Then it is probably the Junkers-52. The German design of this aircraft was so successful that everyone from Hitler to the royal family of the Ming and Qing Dynasties loved to use it.
But there are really too few people. Fourteen Gege uses a thousand people to escort the car, and we use fifteen people to hijack the car. Fifteen versus one thousand, the odds of winning are pretty good.
Xiang Xiaoqiang frowned and asked:
"If the commando team doesn't send out people, where are you going to send out people from?"
Jiang Meilu showed that hesitant expression again, and said with a hypocritical smile:
"Haha, Mr. Xiang... Speaking of manpower, although their combat effectiveness may not be as good as the commandos, they are definitely politically mature... Haha, speaking of which, they will be very loyal to you!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned: Are you loyal to me?
At this time, Zheng Yucong hurried in, and Jiang Meilu smiled attentively at Miss Marquis.
Zheng Yucong ignored her. When she saw Xiang Xiaoqiang, she smiled at him and then said to her father:
"Those two are here."
"Okay," Zheng Gongyin said with a smile, "bring them over."
After a while, two men in black trench coats, one tall and one short, looked around and poked their heads in.
The two of them first nodded and bowed to the three people in the room, then suddenly stared at Xiang Xiaoqiang's face and exclaimed:
