Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 909: He really wants to make progress

  Follow the picture to find out.

 The first target is right next to it.

  It's really next to it. The distance is less than two hundred meters. It's also a bungalow.

 The bungalow is surrounded by walls. How tall is one person? There are people guarding it. plainclothes. But there are guns. There are no signs outside.

 “Action!”

 An order was given.

 The target person is quickly controlled.

Although they have more than a dozen people and a dozen guns. But…

 Zhang Yong directly dispatched two action groups. The overwhelming power of Mount Tai.

 No one resisted.

Finally, in one sentence, your license is incomplete and will be confiscated!

 Not convinced?

 The result of resistance is death. No exception.

 That’s no problem.

 “Bang!”

 Have dealt with Zhang Yong many times.

 They are not stupid.

 You can sue as you wish!

It’s useless to complain to the Jade Emperor...

What? Don't you want to donate? Okay, then I will talk to you as the inspector of the Military and Political Commission. Let's have a good talk...

  Closing the team.

 Here, hundreds of barrels of diesel were also found.

 Zhang Yong went over to check. Diesel indeed.

 “Whose goods is this?”

 Start your search.

 Once a fire breaks out, it will definitely burn the entire camp!

 Fortunately, they are all diesel. Not gasoline. Diesel is less likely to catch fire.

 Where to go back, of course, is Longhua Air Force Base.

 The owner of the cargo is Xu Sheng. The boss of Wanfeng Freight.

 There are just enough trucks over there.

 They are all diesel. Buckets after buckets.

 Everything was done by Zhang Yong. A manly man should do things for others. If you have any dissatisfaction, come to Zhang Yong.

 Zhang Yong asked. No one answered.

 If anyone asks, Zhang Yong will first give him a donation certificate. It means this is your donation.

 The third location.

 Looking through Mei Wanjun's notebook, there was no mention of the owner of the cargo.

 Soon, the report will come up.

 There is also no cargo owner.

continue.

After the diesel oil entered the air force base, not even Chiang Kai-shek could take it away. Who said that? The lady said...

 They are all sealed. There is also cotton wool wrapping on the outside. This fire prevention awareness is really...

　　　Japanese spy.

 The place is relatively desolate. There are few human traces.

 Immediately send someone to contact Longhua Air Force Base. Arrange transfer.

Alright, since no one answers, let’s confiscate it. Just pull it back.

At present, the patriotic aviation movement is in full swing, and people from all walks of life are generously donating money and materials. You are also honored...

 “Bang!”

Since they are ownerless things, take them all away.

 Things without owners belong to the Aviation Committee.

 The information from the Mengde Society is still very accurate. Both places are free gift packages.

Of course, Zhang Yong would never mention his wife.

OK. All confiscated.

 Go to the second location.

 Preliminary statistics show that there are about 580 barrels.

 Zhang Yong once asked him to pay a "protection fee" of 4,000 oceans per month...

Huh?

 It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve sent you a message?

 Ever since Zhang Yong went to Tianjin Wei, this guy pretended to forget?

 Just in time, ask him for an account.

 Come to the door of the warehouse. Found someone inside. There are also weapons symbols.

 What a big warehouse. There are probably a lot of supplies.

 Sure enough, the person guarding the warehouse was controlled and went in to search.

 There are indeed a lot of supplies.

 Cotton cloth, kerosene, sugar, flour, canned food, luncheon meat…

Huh?

 What was found?

 Canned food? Lunch meat? Spam? You read that right.

"Let me see."

 Zhang Yong entered the warehouse for on-site inspection.

In this day and age, there is actually Spam luncheon meat?

 Oh, it’s always been there. Before World War II, Spam luncheon meat was already a staple food in many American households.

During the economic crisis, some American families saw their income drop sharply and had to rely on luncheon meat.

 Pick up a can.

 That’s right. The English word above is indeed Spam.

 Look at the ingredient list carefully. Spam luncheon meat at this time still has a high meat content. full of nutrition.

Recalling the beautiful country newspaper that Tang Shengming brought back, there were promotional advertisements for supermarkets. It also mentions canned Spam meat. It seems that the price is not expensive. One dollar buys three cans. The average price per can is just over 30 cents. Equivalent to one-third of the price of meat. But sales seem to be average.

 The stock of its manufacturer, Hormel Corp., has been in the doldrums.

 If you want to buy at the bottom, now is a good opportunity. Even buying the entire Hormel company wouldn't be a problem.

 Because it does not involve weapons and ammunition, it is just a civilian food company, and it does not matter even if it is run by Chinese. The government of the beautiful country will not impose any restrictions. Of course, it would be better to find a few Americans to act as white gloves.

 Take out a small notebook for your own use. Write this down. Think about it in detail when you have time.

 It just so happens that he doesn’t have enough funds now. Funding needs to be raised.

 While raising funds, it also acquired shares of Hormel Corporation. All we have to do is seize the majority of the shares before 1940.

After the Pearl Harbor incident, Spam luncheon meat will become the standard meal for the US military. At least it’s a market worth several hundred million dollars…

 Hundreds of millions of dollars…

 So many…

 Produced luncheon meat during World War II.

 After the end of World War II, will you switch to McDonald’s or KFC?

 Then get some instant noodles in bags?

Huh? It seems really possible. None of this is high tech. Just an idea. Now that you know it, of course you can take advantage of it.

Sudden whim…

 Are you going to be a food tycoon in the future?

 Then buy a lot of land around the world and become the largest rancher in the world?

have a bee in one's bonnet…

 Suddenly, a red dot entered the edge of the map.

  marked. Check. It's Xu Sheng. He actually came? Are you here to pay back the money?

 The map shows that Xu Sheng drove here alone.

 Gesture.

 Prepare in secret. Waiting for Xu Sheng to arrive.

 Not long after, Xu Sheng appeared. It is indeed a person and a car. No weapons.

 Park the car.

get off.

 Seeing Zhang Yong, Xu Sheng was actually very calm. He straightened his suit and stepped forward.

"open…"

 “Call me Mr. Commissioner.”

 “Commissioner Zhang…”

“Boss Xu, what are the procedures for your goods?”

"No."

 Xu Sheng answered very simply.

 Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes. He looked at this spy intriguingly.

 Good guy, he seems confident!

 Who gave you the courage?

 “I have already brought the monthly protection fee.”

 “Bring it.”

"yes."

 Xu Sheng turned around and took out a suitcase from the car. Delivered to Zhang Yong.

 Zhang Yong took it over. Open. I found that it was full of banknotes. A rough estimate is that there should be about 100,000. Neatly stacked. They're all from Citibank.

 Secretly surprised, this spy made a lot of money! The shot is one hundred thousand.

"This is twenty-five months. I calculated it and it should be November 1938." Xu Sheng said.

 Zhang Yong closed the suitcase again, put it away, and nodded, "That's right."

“So, you can’t touch my warehouse.”

"good."

 Zhang Yong’s resentful reply.

 Then he found himself in a trap. Digging it myself.

 He had indeed promised before that as long as Xu Sheng paid 4,000 ocean protection fees every month, he would not touch it.

 It is indeed against his promise to touch his warehouse now.

All right. You win.

 “I will renew on time.” Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

 “Farewell.” Zhang Yong led the team and left.

 Feeling unhappy. I feel cheated.

 However, it seems that the person who tricked him is himself. What can be said?

 It can only be said that the vision at that time was not far-sighted enough and it did not keep pace with the times. Now I feel that 4,000 oceans per month is too little...

Looking at so much Spam luncheon meat eagerly...

 Take out the suitcase. Look at the 100,000 silver notes inside.

 Mood slightly improved…

 Suddenly, a red dot entered the edge of the map. It’s actually a single-person bicycle.

Huh? who is it?

Check. It turned out to be Wang Jichang.

Judging from the route this guy drove, he might be going into the concession.

That…

 Vote for him? Knock him out?

 Zhang Yong still felt uncomfortable without moving to Xu Sheng's warehouse.

So much Spam luncheon meat…

 Take a deep breath.

　　Hardly cheering up.

 The loss inside the wall is compensated outside the wall. Engage Wang Jichang.

If you say that you are a good-luck boy, Wang Jichang is the God of Wealth over there.

 He is responsible for handling most of the affairs of the Wang family.

This guy has more or less some banknotes on his body. As long as you take action, you will never lose money...

 Hands up immediately. Arrange an ambush.

 As a result, an accident happened. Wang Jichang suddenly stopped the car.

Zhang Yong raised his telescope and found that he was parked on the roadside of Longfeng Tea House. Then walk inside.

 Strange, there are no red dots in Longfeng Tea House!

Continue to observe.

 I found that after Wang Jichang went in, he came into contact with the white dots inside and came out soon.

boarding.

 Continue driving.

 Then he parked on the side of the road again.

get off.

 Enter the house next to it.

 Check the map and find that there is no one in the house.

Strange, what was Wang Jichang doing in an empty house?

 Be patient and observe.

 A minute later, Wang Jichang came out again. It’s like walking around in an empty house and then leaving. Ready to get in the car again.

 Secretly suspicious.

 What exactly is Wang Jichang doing?

 Mysterious…

 Shortly afterwards, Wang Jichang entered the third empty house.

 Zhang Yong took action immediately.

 Crying on tiptoe, he lurked outside the empty house.

 When Wang Jichang came out, he immediately became a sap. Knock it out easily.

 Search. Nothing was found.

  Search for a car. There was a big discovery. There was a large bag of francs on the car.

 The so-called bag refers to a cloth bag. Say it's big or not. Not too small. Maybe the size of a basketball?

 The mouth of the bag is unbuttoned. Indicates it may have just been used.

 Take the cloth bag away.

 Return to the empty house. Check. A wad of francs was quickly found. The total value is about five hundred.

 Go back to the previous house. Check. Five hundred francs were also found.

  Inference. Maybe Wang Jichang put francs into the house? Five hundred per house.

 What are these houses used for?

 Safe house?

possible.

 Write down the address. Might come in handy later.

 Then leave.

 Quietly, as if he had never appeared at all.

Not long after, Wang Jichang woke up in a daze. Found myself in the driver's seat.

Huh?

what happened?

 You seem to have been attacked?

 Touch the back of your head…

it hurts!

it hurts!

**** it! Got slapped!

 Look back quickly. Damn it! The money is gone! That big bag of francs was taken away!

 Damn it!

Who is it?

 Are you a little thief from Shanghai?

Ahhhh...

 So angry!

 Are you actually attacked by a little thief?

He came out this time to put cash in the safe house.

 Because it is done in secret. Therefore, it can only be him alone.

At first I thought that my whereabouts were secretive and no one would notice. Unexpectedly, he was targeted. Then he was knocked unconscious.

  Hateful…

 More than fifty thousand francs! Got robbed again!

This **** Shanghai!

 Little thieves are so rampant!

 Because the other party only took away the money and nothing else was touched. Therefore, Wang Jichang didn't think about anyone else at all.

 Suddenly I remembered another thing. Akagi Gaochun was also attacked before. Tens of thousands of francs were also robbed.

Akagi Gaochun is also preparing to put reserve funds in the safe house. As a result, the money was robbed by a little thief, so he had to exchange it with Wang Jichang. Unexpectedly, he was still robbed...

 Wrong.

 Why were you robbed twice?

Wang Jichang's mind suddenly became more flexible.

 Is there a traitor?

idiot!

Definitely is!

 There must have been a traitor who tipped off the news.

 Otherwise, how can an ordinary little thief accurately grasp his whereabouts?

Ahhhh...

idiot!

 There must be a traitor!

 The traitor must be found!

 The traitor must be cut into pieces! Shattered bones and ashes!

idiot!

 “A sneeze!”

 “A sneeze!”

 In the distance, Zhang Yong sneezed several times in succession.

 It is inferred that he was cursed. But it doesn't matter. There are so many people cursing him, so what the heck!

Anyway, sneezing will not kill anyone. casual.

 He is going into the concession now. Going to find Zhu Yuan. It looks like this guy is still in jail.

 Getting closer to Tilanqiao Prison…

 There are many yellow dots on the edge of the map. There are actually five.

strangeness…

 Why are there so many yellow dots in the prison?

  Could it be that another underground party member was arrested?

Thinking of the capture operation by the Japanese invaders, was it possible that he was captured by the Japanese invaders?

 Slow down silently.

 He needs to understand the situation. See what's going on.

 Call Bob.

 “Let’s talk when we meet.”

"good."

 Zhang Yong chose a good location.

sit down.

 Arrange for alert.

 Soon, Bob came.

　　Wind and fiery. People are quite energetic.

 It seems that he has made some progress in the Ministry of Industry Bureau.

very good.

 It’s good to make progress.

 Send thirty thousand francs first.

 These are all expenses. It's an investment. There will be high returns in the future.

 At any rate, they were looted from the Japanese invaders. As long as the Japanese invaders remain alive, his financial resources will not be cut off.

  “It was captured by the Japanese.”

 “In what name?”

“It means catching the rebels.”

"knew."

 Zhang Yong nodded.

 Then make the request. Ask Bob to cooperate.

 His request is very direct, that is, to target the Japanese.

If it were targeted at the French or Americans, it would probably cause a strong backlash. However, attacking the Japanese invaders was a one-on-one battle.

 The French or the Americans, at least, don’t cause trouble. There will be no deliberate resistance for Bob.

 “You issue a certificate and I’ll pick up the person.”

"good."

Bob also wanted to see who would stop him.

 So he wrote the proof in his own handwriting. Sign your name. Finally, the personal mark of each director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau is stamped.

 The so-called certificate is actually a letter of guarantee.

  It means to secure the prisoner from prison. There will be no need for prison to deal with future matters.

Of course, the guarantor is Zhang Yong.

 The one who approved it was Bob. He is a director of the Ministry of Industry. There is such power.

However, ordinary directors would not do such a thing. Unless there is a huge benefit. After all, this guarantee has its backbone.

 “There is another piece of information. It may be beneficial to you.”

"you say."

 “Civil war will break out in Spain soon. Franco has a better chance of winning.”

 “When exactly?”

 “As soon as next month.”

 Zhang Yong replied.

 Actually, he didn’t remember the exact time.

  But it is certain that it should be in the near future. There is still a month or two at most.

 “Oh? Can you tell me in detail?”

 Bob showed great commitment.

 Obviously, he is very interested in this topic.

 In other words, most British people are very interested in this topic.

 After all, it is Spain.

Spain is also a big country in Europe.

　In addition to Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, it may be Spain.

Polar bears don’t count…

 Its civil strife will affect the whole of Europe.

And, most importantly, Spain controls the Strait of Gibraltar. Location is very important.

 The Strait of Gibraltar is the only outlet from the Mediterranean Sea.

 The British Empire’s Mediterranean Fleet, French Fleet, Italian Fleet, and Polar Bear’s Black Sea Fleet all need to enter and exit through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Even ships traveling between the Indian and Pacific Oceans must pass through the Strait of Gibraltar through the Suez Canal.

How could the British Empire ignore such an important geographical location?

 Other countries cannot sit idly by and ignore it!

 Hence, its civil war is destined to be the focus of the world.

 purely from a world perspective, it is more eye-catching than China’s Anti-Japanese War.

 After all, it was Europe, and the whole world was watching.

 Suddenly, Zhang Yong discovered that the information about the Spanish Civil War was not very important to him. However, for Bob, it is very important.

 After all, he needs to show extraordinary talents in the future.

 Be far-sighted. Be as discerning as a torch.

 Only in this way can we make faster progress.

  It just so happens that the Spanish Civil War was a preview of World War II.

 The Spanish Civil War ended in 1939. Immediately afterwards, the German army blitzed Poland. The official start of the world war.

If Bob can show his "extraordinary talent" in this civil war, he will undoubtedly rise to prominence in the future. Become a relatively important role.

 Well, it is relatively important.

 It is impossible to become a giant.

 But, for Zhang Yong, it was enough.

 “Will Franco win?”

"yes."

 Zhang Yong answered in the affirmative.

 The reason was not stated. A lot of things are too sensitive. can not say.

 The truth is often ironic.

 Franco is the one who enjoys widespread support from the people.

 Because he organizes production, stabilizes social order, improves the legal system, and ensures that people have food to eat and are safe and secure.

 As his enemy, the other side only has chaos and killing.

 Even the "loving father" can't stand it anymore. Send someone to stop it. As a result, they killed all the special correspondents sent by the "loving father".

 Oops...

This is really...

 The "loving father" got angry and gave up. Just fend for yourself! So, the other side just gave up.

 Zhang Yong said intermittently. It's my own speculation.

　　Bob records carefully.

 It can be seen that he really wants to make progress.

 This is good.

Who doesn’t want to make progress?
