Chapter 280: Old Lu is floating again

"Zhiyou, I'm curious. Tang Enbo is the Generalissimo's Whampoa Central direct line, and military supplies are all specially supplied from above. Why does he still need to find Lu Qiaoshan to buy arms privately?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Because he lost battles and also lost Zhang Lingfu."

"Currently, among the generals of the National Government, even if they don't participate in reselling military supplies themselves, their subordinate generals and field officers can't help but fish for this windfall."

"The Generalissimo knows this problem, and people like Gu Zhutong, Chen Cheng, and Du Yuming also know it."

"You have so many questions, don't you even treat me to a cup of tea?"

Speaking of this, Hong Zhiyou couldn't help but feel a bit dry in his throat.

"Look at me."

"The top-grade Longjing tea sent to me by Mr. Yong, you try it."

Yu Zecheng smiled and hurriedly brewed good tea.

"That's great. The tea person is professional. I'm afraid this tea is even better than the one Zhou Xiangxian sent to the Station Chief." Hong Zhiyou accepted it happily.

After tasting a cup, Yu Zecheng urged: "Since the Generalissimo and all the commanders know, why don't they investigate?"

"They can't investigate."

"Ever since the myth of Hu Zongnan capturing Yancheng became a joke, the National Army has been retreating steadily, especially Zhang Lingfu's death in battle, which had a huge impact on the morale of the National Army."

"You know, among the five major US-equipped corps that attacked Ludong, three were sent this time, including the ace 11th Reorganized Division of Chen Cheng's Tumumu system, Qiu Qingquan's unit of the 5th Army, and Zhang Lingfu's unit, etc."

"The Generalissimo almost bet all the best kings and Vajras under his command."

"But they couldn't withstand the north-south integration of Chen and Su, who were invincible. You know how terrified the National Army was. Troops set up linked formations less than thirty miles apart, just for fear of being bypassed and eaten by Su's army. Now, hearing General Su's name is a nightmare."

"This is also why Xue Yue, who advocated the split-advance tactic, was removed from his post and replaced by Gu Zhutong to command."

"But according to the first-hand information obtained by the US military observation group on the front line, now on the Ludong front, Qiu Qingquan is no longer crazy, Gu Zhutong is no longer effective, and air force air drops are inaccurate."

"A bunch of broken things, the combat power is not like an ace army combination at all."

"Instead, it's like a makeshift troupe that could fall apart at any time."

"Who goes to pull a root."

"Bang!"

Hong Zhiyou spread his hands and made a "finished" gesture.

"Yes."

"This kind of thing can't be done without some means and courage. Whoever touches it is doomed."

"If Boss Dai were still alive, maybe he could suppress it. The boss was greedy, but at least he got things done, and his methods were high."

"Slippery people like He Yingqin and Zheng Jiemin have always avoided it if they could."

"When Ji Weimin was arrested, this crooked wind wasn't stopped, and the disease of corruption in the National Army was basically incurable."

Yu Zecheng nodded in deep agreement.

"Boss Dai might be a little better if he were alive, but not much better."

"He couldn't even handle Ma Hansan and Tang Zong."

"Do you really expect him to dare to arrest Tang Enbo, Hu Zongnan, and these disciples of the Son of Heaven? If he arrested these people, Dai Li wouldn't know how to command battles either." Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"I understand."

"If Gu Zhutong could win battles, all problems wouldn't be problems."

"Now that he has lost the battle, he must pull Tang Enbo and others out to 'whip the corpse', and reselling military supplies leading to a major loss of combat power is inevitably one of the reasons."

"So, Tang Enbo or his subordinates are in a hurry to 'fill the hole', so they supplemented goods from the US military in Jinhai, giving Lu Qiaoshan a chance to make a fortune."

Yu Zecheng summarized.

"Yes."

"No more blowing."

"Okamura Yasuji is going to Ludong again, and Wang Yaowu is secretly mobilizing heavy troops. They don't believe in evil and are determined to move back to this game in the hands of Chen and Su."

"Ke Ke secretly ordered the Seventh Fleet to support, and there may be long-range guided... artillery and aircraft support."

"The focus is on the Weifang area."

Hong Zhiyou again leaked the intelligence he got from Ke Ke to Yu Zecheng as if chatting.

"Okay."

Yu Zecheng nodded gratefully and quickly recorded it in his mind.

"How much money."

After thinking about it, he called out to Hong Zhiyou.

"I'm in a good mood, it's a gift for you." Hong Zhiyou smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away dashingly.

Back in the office, before he could sit still, Zhang Li walked in and said coquettishly:

"Secretary Hong, Section Chief Lu wants you to go over."

"Is it 'let' or 'invite'?" Hong Zhiyou crossed his legs, held a cigarette, and looked at her with a sneer.

"It's... invite." Zhang Li hurriedly changed her words.

"That's right."

"If a girl doesn't know how to speak, she will suffer."

Hong Zhiyou stood up, raised his hand, and slapped her hips hard:

"Get out!"

"Yes!" Zhang Li was so scared that her whole body trembled, and she lowered her head and walked out.

Hong Zhiyou put one hand in his pocket and walked slowly to the Intelligence Section.

Lu Qiaoshan was making coffee.

Seeing Hong Zhiyou, he greeted him enthusiastically:

"Zhiyou, sit down quickly, freshly ground coffee."

"Brazilian goods."

"Try it."

"Brother Shan is glowing lately, this is a good thing." Hong Zhiyou sat down with his legs crossed, holding the coffee and tasting it unhurriedly.

"It's okay."

"It's okay."

Lu Qiaoshan tapped his fingers on the armrest.

"Why has my brother been quiet lately? I'm still waiting for you to get me some work." He looked at Hong Zhiyou with a smile, intending to disgust and be proud of himself.

"To be honest, brother, I've been having bad luck lately, and I have a lot of orders piled up in my hands."

"God knows Philson ran out of stock."

"I want grain, rice, flour, he said there was a hurricane in the Pacific and the ships couldn't get through."

"I want guns and cannons, he said the North American arms dealers are arguing with the Democratic Party, and they are watching too closely to send them out."

"Everyone used to call me Jinhai Tong."

"Now I really can't get through."

"Sigh, it's a headache."

Hong Zhiyou sighed helplessly.

"That's really bad luck."

"It's not good to catch a hurricane. I heard that the wind in the Pacific can even blow warships away."

"Then let's press it for now."

"After this wave, the Americans will supply you sooner or later."

Lu Qiaoshan persuaded with his mouth, but he couldn't hide the pride on his face.

"Brother Shan, I can't keep up the strength here, you have to bear with me for many things, I really have no choice." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Understand, understand."

"We are all brothers, if you have good things, you can't help but think of me."

Lu Qiaoshan chuckled, moved closer to him, and whispered:

"Brother, I know you have a line that can transport things to Ludong."

"Can you lend it to your brother?"

"Transport what?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"It's just a batch of old equipment eliminated by the Northeast Arsenal back then. A friend entrusted me to transport it to Commander Tang. If it's convenient for you, lend it to me to walk."

"Also your truck brigade."

"I'm in a hurry to use them."

Lu Qiaoshan said in a deep voice.

"How many vehicles do you want?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Twenty trucks, I want them all." Lu Qiaoshan said.

"No."

"Brother, you got so many things, wouldn't you make a fortune?" Hong Zhiyou said with an envious look.

"A friend's things."

"They are all old goods, I'm just helping out, I can't make much money."

"Help me out."

Lu Qiaoshan opened the drawer, took out two thousand US dollars, and handed it over.

"Brother Shan, what do you mean by this?" Hong Zhiyou said.

"We are brothers, just a little bit of meaning, accept it." Lu Qiaoshan pushed the money over.

"Why don't we go by sea? The Cao Gang has ships, I'll help you contact Long Er." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Don't, don't."

"The Cao Gang has many eyes and ears. This kind of thing can't be seen in the light. It's better to walk your land route."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

He and Lin Sufang secretly smuggled arms from Philson, but to use the Cao Gang's ships, one was easy to be discovered by Hong Zhiyou, and the other was that Lin Sufang wanted to collect a large transportation fee.

Lu Qiaoshan already occupied the small head, naturally he didn't want Lin Sufang to choke his neck for nothing.

As for Hong Zhiyou, anyway, he was kept in the dark, so why not use him.

Even if he found out later, it wouldn't matter. He had already made a fortune and monopolized the arms channel.

If Hong Zhiyou was sensible, he could still share a sip of soup with him.

If he wasn't sensible, Philson had already been handled by Lin Sufang, and he couldn't turn the sky over.

Not only that.

Lu Qiaoshan also secretly acquired a winery with Lin Sufang, intending to buy a Hennessy label and create a foreign wine brand.

Since Philson and the Americans could lift Hong Zhiyou up.

With Zheng Jiemin and the huge Cao Gang as backing, are you afraid you can't get up?

Hong Zhiyou sells Axe brand.

He sells Cherry brand.

He doesn't understand business, but Lu Qiaoshan is still confident in copying Hong Zhiyou's business thinking.

Moreover, this plan was highly recognized by Zheng Jiemin and Ke Shufen.

Last time, the arms deal with Ma Bufang and Bai Chongxi was reached.

Zheng Jiemin was overjoyed and added an investment of 50,000 US dollars, telling him to take the wine market at all costs.

The current Lu Qiaoshan is full of confidence, feeling that he is simply terrifyingly strong.

In his eyes, Hong Zhiyou is really just a younger brother!

"How about this, after it's done, I'll add another thousand US dollars, how about that?" Fearing that Hong Zhiyou wouldn't be satisfied, Lu Qiaoshan added.

"Brother, look at what you said."

"We are brothers, isn't my line your line?"

"Don't worry, I'll greet them, you just go."

"What money or not, it's too polite."

Hong Zhiyou smiled and pushed the US dollars back.

"Your line has to go around Henan to Caoxian to get in, the fuel cost for this big circle is not small, you have to collect it, you have to collect it." Lu Qiaoshan pushed and pulled.

"Brother Shan, a few fuel costs will come out if I go to the club a few times less, do I have to choke you?"

"If it spreads out, won't it hurt the feelings of our brothers."

Hong Zhiyou said unhappily.

As he spoke, he winked and chuckled: "Old Yu's post as Deputy Station Chief has been officially cut. I see the Station Chief's meaning, it seems he wants to lift you up."

"When the time comes, brother will be Deputy Station Chief Lu, can there be less benefit for brother?"

"That's it, that's it!" Lu Qiaoshan laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, if I can sit in the position of Deputy Station Chief, there will definitely be no less for you, brother."

He patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Shan." Hong Zhiyou hurriedly thanked him.

"Brother Shan."

"I have to say one thing first. Li Ya has been staring at me and Director Yu. It's not a problem for you to borrow the fleet and walk my traffic line."

"If something goes wrong, I can't take responsibility."

He took a sip of coffee and prepared the pot first.

"Li Ya?"

"Heh, he won't be able to jump for a few days. I've been busy making money lately and don't have time to deal with him."

"When I free up my hands, I'll send him to the cell in minutes."

Lu Qiaoshan sneered.

"Don't worry."

"I'll find him some work to do and divert his attention."

"You just prepare the fleet."

Lu Qiaoshan said confidently.

"When are you shipping?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Hehe..." Lu Qiaoshan chuckled and didn't speak.

"I understand."

"I'll let Kong Fang adjust the fleet now, let's meet at the Embroidered Uniform Guard Church."

"You can control it yourself when the time comes."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Thanks." Lu Qiaoshan nodded with satisfaction.

"What's the politeness, we are brothers." Hong Zhiyou said.

"That's right, we are... brothers, own brothers!" Lu Qiaoshan patted his shoulder hard.

After chatting enough, Hong Zhiyou got up and left.

Lu Qiaoshan's smile suddenly turned cold, he closed the door, and quickly picked up the phone:

"Hello, Old Peng, you prepare a team of drivers over there, ten escorts per vehicle, fully armed, must be our own people. At eight o'clock tonight, let them gather at the Embroidered Uniform Guard Church."

"Remember, must keep it secret."

"Good."

After finishing, he dialed a number again: "Is Captain Li there, Station Chief's office? Good, I know."

Put down the phone.

Lu Qiaoshan was about to leave when the phone rang again. He answered it and instantly beamed with joy:

"Mr. Jack, it's ME, it's ME."

"Mr. Powell is arriving in Jinhai tomorrow night?"

"Great."

"Don't worry, I won't have less of your share."

"Okay, happy cooperation."

"See you tomorrow night."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiaoshan couldn't close his mouth with joy, and he patted his thigh happily:

"When luck comes, you can't stop it."

"I deserve to make a fortune!"

After taking down the Cherry brand, he could swallow another big deal of Hong Zhiyou.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again and quickly dialed the number:

"Miss Lin, it's me."

"Mr. Powell from Hennessy headquarters is coming to Jin tomorrow night."

"Prepare the money."

"Also, bring the products of the joint venture winery, Mr. Powell wants to taste them."

"Remember to show sincerity, these foreign devils have many requirements."

"Must buy the Cherry brand name."

"Good, waiting for your good news."

After making these calls, Lu Qiaoshan was already dry in his throat.

He drank a glass of boiled water.

Then, he walked quickly to the Station Chief's office.

Station Chief's office.

Wu Jingzhong was assigning tasks to Li Ya:

"Currently, the theft of military supplies is rampant, and Jianfeng is deeply disgusted by this. Why did Ludong become a mess, and why did they suffer successive defeats from Xue Yue to Gu Zhutong?"

"It's because military supplies and ordnance can't keep up."

"Now the power of the Reds' heavy machine guns and artillery has caused huge casualties to the front-line troops."

"And me?"

"There are frequent cases of bombs not exploding on the front line."

"Just received news from the Ministry of National Defense that Tang Enbo and Li Changxia have been dismissed."

"Jianfeng and Director Mao instructed that as Jinhai is the top priority, we must stop this evil wind before the war starts, so as to prepare for fighting good battles and big battles."

"Commander Chen has an order for our Confidential Bureau to assist in investigating the 94th Army's reselling of military supplies."

"Lu Qiaoshan is Zheng Jiemin's man, he certainly won't be attentive to investigating Zheng Tingfeng, so you have to take on this job. You can't fail the high hopes of Jianfeng and Commander Chen."

"94th Army?" Li Ya's eyes sharpened, and he sneered.

When Xu Zhiwu was there, he had beaten him up. Although the one surnamed Xu lost his official position, Li Ya had been holding this breath in his heart.

He was just worrying about not having a chance to take a knife to this bunch of arrogant people.

Look, the opportunity is here.

"Station Chief, don't worry, they certainly won't be so lucky this time." Li Ya said coldly.

As he was talking, Lu Qiaoshan walked in and smiled:

"Yo, Captain Li is here, just in time, I have something to find you."

He walked quickly to the Station Chief to report: "Station Chief, just received news that a battalion commander surnamed Tong of the 94th Army stole a batch of arms, canned food, winter clothes, and quilts, and will meet and hand them over at Mawang Town at eight o'clock tonight."

"The buyer is a ship merchant from Huludao in the Northeast."

"I suspect this person has a Red background."

"Do you think we should let Captain Li take a trip."

"Arrest, must arrest." Wu Jingzhong raised his index finger and said righteously.

"Section Chief Lu, is your intelligence accurate?"

"Don't let me run over and get beaten again?" Li Ya stared at him sideways and asked with a sneer.

"Captain Li, in the past, brother treated you badly, let's not mention old things."

"This intelligence was provided by an informant of mine."

"Definitely accurate."

"Don't forget my share when brother makes a contribution."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Eight o'clock tonight, Mawang Town confirmed?" Li Ya asked again.

"Confirmed, eight o'clock." Lu Qiaoshan nodded.

"Good, thanks." Li Ya said.

"Station Chief, nothing else, I'll retire first." Lu Qiaoshan still had a bunch of money-making things to deal with, greeted, and walked away quickly.

"Lu Qiaoshan giving me intelligence to make a contribution, it's really the sun rising from the west." Li Ya sucked his lips, frowning in confusion.

"He finally came back."

"He certainly wouldn't dare to play that set of Lu Yuxi again, the intelligence is mostly true."

"You go take a trip."

"If there is a contribution, make it."

"If there is no contribution, just treat it as going out of the city to breathe some fresh air."

Wu Jingzhong smiled.

"I just feel something is wrong."

"Teacher, don't forget, he also holds the post of Director of the Inspection Section. Now he can rightfully make a contribution for Lu Yuxi, why give the intelligence to me?"

"This is mostly 'a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken'."

Li Ya frowned and said.

"It's possible."

"Then you keep an eye on him." Wu Jingzhong smiled.

"Mm."

"I understand, I'll arrange it now."

Li Ya bowed to Wu Jingzhong, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away quickly.

Wu Jingzhong's mouth floated a sneer.

The good show is finally about to appear.

Lu Qiaoshan is afraid he will fall a big somersault this time.

To be precise, there is also Zheng Jiemin.

Heh.

Jinhai is a piece of fat meat, not everyone can eat it.

Like Lu Qiaoshan and Zheng Jiemin, they will choke to death sooner or later.

7:40 PM.

Garrison Headquarters Inspection Section Chief's Office.

Lu Qiaoshan was in military uniform, sitting in the luxurious office making a phone call:

"Vice Minister Zheng, it's me."

"Don't worry, Philson agreed to deliver the goods on time at eight o'clock tonight, and I have already cleaned up the tails around me."

"This time nearly 80,000 US dollars in arms."

"Tang Enbo quoted me 150,000, minus the kickback, I can get at least 110,000 to 120,000 US dollars in my pocket."

"Mm, can't lose."

"The Americans are like this, they must pay first and then get the goods. The past transactions with Ma Bufang and Bai Chongxi were all fine, and Hong Zhiyou used to do it this way too."

"Definitely all goods will be out, there won't be any problems."

"Good, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at his watch and ordered the clerk at the reception desk outside the door: "Go call Peng Chengtao."

Soon, Peng Chengtao, who was burly, round-faced, and had a few millimeters of short hair, walked in.

"Section Chief Lu, you are looking for me." He put his hands in his pockets and sat down very casually.

As the Director of the Adjutant Section of the Garrison Headquarters, he was at the same level as Lu Qiaoshan, but Peng Chengtao used to be Zheng Jiemin's student, so the two usually called each other brothers.

"Are the cars all in place?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.

"In place."

"After Hong Zhiyou's fleet arrived, I changed all their drivers, and the escort soldiers are also my people, absolutely reliable." Peng Chengtao said.

"Mm."

"I trust you to do things, is the equipment loaded?" Lu Qiaoshan nodded and said.

"Loaded."

"This is the list, you check it." Peng Chengtao handed over the list.

Lu Qiaoshan took a look and frowned: "Why is it so little, not even a third?"
