Chapter 207 Lure to benefit
Seeing that Chen Xiucheng did not pursue the matter, Li Yunsheng let out a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "Commander, do you want your subordinates to think of ways to get out the weapons in the concession?"
Chen Xiucheng immediately said: "Don't do anything nonsense. These foreigners are not Japanese. Now the government is preparing to let the League of Nations mediate. It is the time when these foreigners are used, they cannot be dissatisfied."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Commander, many of the foreigners are profit-oriented. As long as they give them some benefits, they will sell the things to us."
Chen Xiucheng thought about it and thought it would be okay to give it a try, so he spoke, "You can give it a try, but you can't cause any trouble. And the main task is to attack the Japanese logistics supply line."
Li Yunsheng nodded helplessly and then asked some questions to add to the troops and left the Corps Headquarters.
After returning to the station, Li Yunsheng was a little bored. He was a little embarrassed when he thought that Chen Xiucheng wanted to attack the Japanese supply line. After all, the current situation is too dangerous. Even if the attacker is in trouble, there is no way out. After all, the front line is too long.
At this time, Zhang Hao came over and asked: "Section Chief, what is the situation? What does the commander say?"
Li Yunsheng said irritably: "Let us attack the Japanese supply line."
Seeing Li Yunsheng's expression, Zhang Hao guessed that it might be the result, so he sighed and said, "Section Chief, this is OK. We are trying to figure out a way. Anyway, it is better to attack the supply line of the Japanese army than to go to the front line."
Li Yunsheng sighed and said, "This is true, but the front line is too long now, and the retreat path of the French Concession has been discovered again. After our attack, it is very difficult to evacuate safely."
Zhang Hao also understood this, but he had no choice, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Zhang Hao had no choice, Li Yunsheng thought for a while and then had an idea, and decided to take out all the reserved medicines and weapons he purchased. This might impress Chen Xiucheng and make him realize that the value of his smuggling is greater than that of attacking the Japanese, and that he would focus on the smuggling task.
After having this idea, Li Yunsheng ordered Zhang Hao to stay at the resident to handle trivial matters, and he took the Zhou brothers to the public concession to find Li Yuntao.
When Li Yuntao saw Li Yunsheng suddenly come to him, he asked: "Why are you here? What's wrong?"
The reason why Li Yuntao asked this was because he knew that the war in Shanghai was tense now, and Li Yunsheng was a soldier. If it were some trivial matters, just send a telegram.
Hearing Li Yuntao's words, Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Second brother, can you still transport war essentials such as medicines into Shanghai now?"
Li Yuntao shook his head and said in a sigh: "The war is tense now, so many people don't want to transport supplies to Shanghai. After all, the Japanese have bad reputations. Even ships from neutral countries have huge risks, so I can't do this at all."
Li Yunsheng thought to himself that it seemed that he could only rely on Smith, so he said softly: "Then please contact Smith and let him meet me as soon as possible."
This is very easy. Li Yuntao made a phone call without saying a word, put it down and said, "Smith is in Shanghai and will come here later."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then thought about how to make Smith do his best to smuggle items into Shanghai, and most importantly, the price of smuggling should not be too high.
After more than half an hour, Smith walked in with a smile, and said enthusiastically as soon as he met: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you have to ask me for."
Li Yunsheng smiled and said, "This time I came to see Mr. Smith. First, I asked about the news about the batch of weapons, and second, I asked. Last time we said we wanted to continue doing business, and I don't know how you are preparing."
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Smith said, "That batch of weapons will be returned to Shanghai the day after tomorrow. Mr. Li can take them away at any time," and then said, "But it is not easy to transport arms to Shanghai again."
Li Yunsheng said solemnly: "When they do the same arms business, why will there be problems?"
Smith smiled and said, "It's not something else. We don't have a lot of arms in our hands. If we want to transport it from the country, the distance will be too long, and the risk will be greater, so some people don't agree to do so."
Hearing that this is the reason, Li Yunsheng thought about it and said, "What about the Philippines? As far as I know, you should have a lot of war preparations in the Philippines. Now at this time, you can take it out and sell it."
Smith shook his head and said, "Mr. Lee, the Philippines is not under the jurisdiction of our Pacific Fleet, so we cannot use their stuff."
Li Yunsheng's eyes turned and he had an idea, and then said softly: "Mr. Smith, if I guess correctly, some of you should be involved in this batch of arms."
Smith immediately became alert and asked seriously: "What do you ask this for?"
Seeing Smith alert, Li Yunsheng quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no other consciousness, I just give you an idea."
Smith said in confusion: "Give me an idea, what is the idea."
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "Since there are big figures involved, the matter will be easy. You can borrow some supplies from the Philippines in the name of the Pacific Fleet, and then transport them to Shanghai. After purchasing them from China, you will be able to return them to the Philippines."
Smith thought for a while and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Li is very flexible, so it is OK to do this, but this matter is not something I can decide. It requires the decision of the big guys above."
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "They have done smuggling arms, and there should be no problem doing the same thing once. After all, the price is much higher than before, and no one will be able to compete with the US dollar," and then said: "If Mr. Smith can contribute to this, the price is somewhat discounted than last time, I can give you half of the discounted price as a thank you."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Smith began to ponder and said after a while: "This is true, but Mr. Li is very smart and actually uses this method to share my interests, so that you can save a lot of money."
Li Yunsheng said happily: "In this way, Mr. Smith can also get some benefits, otherwise you won't be jealous when you look at the people above you making a fortune."
Smith smiled unnaturally, then said calmly: "Okay, I will do my best to make this happen."
Seeing Smith's appearance, Li Yunsheng guessed that he was moved and stopped talking about this question. Then the two agreed on when to hand over the arms, and Smith said goodbye and left.
After Smith left, Li Yuntao smiled and said, "Yunsheng, you really have you. You actually use this method. It seems that you can save another amount of money."
Li Yunsheng said disdainfully: "These foreigners are no different from us. They are all profit-seeking. As long as they have the chance, they will naturally not give up."
Li Yuntao nodded, agreed with this statement very much, and then asked in confusion: "Yunsheng, we have a lot of medicines in our hands, enough for your people to use, why would you still buy it from Smith?"
Li Yunsheng explained the reason and then spoke: "Only by letting the people above realize the value of my smuggling, I can be safe."
After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Li Yuntao persuaded: "Yunsheng, it really doesn't work. Just take off your military uniform. It's too dangerous to be a soldier."
Li Yunsheng shook his head and said firmly: "I will be more careful and will not cause any danger."
When he came to this time and space, Li Yunsheng planned to do something for this disaster-prone country. With this military uniform, everything is more convenient. In addition, Li Yunsheng finally got to the position of colonel and chief of the secret service office, how could he give up easily?
Seeing that Li Yun was determined, Li Yuntao was not persuading him, and then asked: "What do you mean, you have to sell all the drugs in our hands to the National Government at a fair price."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this will reflect my value." It turned out that Li Yunsheng planned to send this batch of drugs out when Shanghai was in a tight situation. Now it's just killing two birds with one stone.
Li Yuntao nodded, and then the two of them exchanged ideas on how to hand over the batch of drugs. After discussing, Li Yunsheng returned to Shanghai downtown.
After returning to the station, Zhang Hao asked: "Section Chief, what's the situation?
Li Yunsheng nodded and said happily: "It should be no problem," the reason why Li Yunsheng was able to be sure was judged by Smith's attitude, and this matter was not particularly difficult.
When Zhang Hao heard this answer, he finally relaxed a little, and then said, "If this matter can be done, our situation will be much better, and Commander Chen will look at us differently."
Li Yunsheng also agrees with this point. After all, people must be valuable, and only those above will like you.
Early the next morning, several cars drove to Li Yunsheng's residence. The cars came from the public concession, and were the medicines sent by Li Yuntao.
After Li Yunsheng made the handover, he said to Zhang Hao: "You take a closer look and then put them alone."
Zhang Hao nodded and immediately took someone to count it. After about half an hour, the inventory was completed. Then he wrote a list and came to Li Yunsheng to report: "Section Chief, the statistics have been completed," and handed over the list.
Li Yunsheng took it and looked at it for a few times, then said uncertainly: "I don't know if these things can impress Commander Chen."
Zhang Hao said confidently: "Section Chief, I think Commander Chen will definitely know the things. After all, if there is a smuggling channel, there will be a steady stream of incubation materials to Shanghai, which will be much greater for the war than the hundreds of us."
