Chapter 338 Confidential Military Information
Hearing Li Yunsheng's firm tone, Xu Bing smiled wryly and said: "District Chief, the Japanese are already watching the major arms dealers in the concession, and there is no reason for them not to pay attention to such a large number of explosives. We simply cannot get away with it."

Li Yunsheng said calmly: "This time, our action is fast, and we typed a time difference. We did it before the Japanese reacted."

"What does the district chief think?"

Li Yunsheng said confidently: "In a while, I will go to the arms dealer last time, buy a large amount of explosives with them, and ask for the transaction tomorrow night. During the transaction, there will definitely be Japanese eyeliners, and it will be settled by then." Killed them, then quickly entered the urban area, and transported these explosives into the urban area before the Japanese could react."

Xu Bing thought for a while, and then said: "District Chief, it's too risky for you to do this. Once the Japanese react, the operation will fail. Even if the explosives are successfully transported into the city, they may not have a chance to do it.

And after the action, we will definitely not have the chance to return to the foreign concession, so how can we avoid the subsequent search in downtown TJ. "

Li Yunsheng smiled and said: "After the operation is successful, all personnel can leave the urban area directly and hide in the surrounding villages. Even if the Japanese conduct a large-scale search at that time, they must only search the TJ urban area. After all, their manpower is limited."

Hearing Li Yunsheng's approach, Xu Bing was still a little worried. After all, this action was too risky, so he said, "District Chief, if you really want to do this, I suggest that you be prepared to fail and choose a backup base , if something happens, we will immediately move to another place, so there is also a way out."

Li Yunsheng thought about it, and felt that what Xu Bing said was reasonable. After all, victory was predicted before defeat, so he nodded and said flatly: "Yes, this matter is up to you, but it must be done quickly, and it must be done before tomorrow night." good."

Xu Bing nodded, and then the two communicated for a while before leaving one after another.

An hour later, Li Yunsheng appeared in the Far East Trading House in the International Settlement. This trading house was opened by the British. On the surface, it only carried out normal trade, but in fact it was engaged in arms business.

As soon as I entered the Far East Trading Co., a staff member immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"

Li Yunsheng said indifferently: "I have a big business, and I need to find your manager."

The staff quickly said: "Our manager is receiving distinguished guests, please wait a moment."

Li Yunsheng frowned, thinking that it was such an unfortunate coincidence, but the Far East Trading House is the largest trading house in the public concession, and it is the most convenient place to buy a large amount of explosives, not to mention buying a batch of weapons here before, which can be said to be familiar Familiar with the road, so he said: "Then I will wait."

The staff immediately said: "Then please follow me to the lounge, and I will take you there after our manager finishes receiving the distinguished guests."

Li Yunsheng did not hesitate, and followed the staff to the rest area inside.

When they reached the stairs, there happened to be two blond and blue-eyed Englishmen walking downstairs. When one of them saw Li Yunsheng, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Li, we meet again."

Seeing this Englishman, Li Yunsheng felt a little depressed, and quickly said, "Mr. Robert, I didn't expect to see you here."

The person who spoke was the British consul. He had contact with Li Yunsheng before. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they had impressions of each other.

However, Li Yunsheng knew that these foreigners were not good people, so he avoided meeting them all the time. After all, he would be sold out when he dealt with these foreigners.

The foreigner following Robert saw that the two knew each other, and immediately asked, "Mr. Consul, you know this friend."

Robert nodded and said with a light smile: "This Mr. Li is an old friend of mine, and I still owe him a favor." Then he introduced to Li Yunsheng: "Mr. Li, this is the manager of Far East Trading Co., Ltd. Mr. Edward, you must have come to look for him today."

Since he was bumped into by someone, Li Yunsheng didn't have anything to hide. After all, the other party was a foreigner, so he wouldn't keep his secrets. So he said, "That's right. I'm here today because I have a big deal to discuss with Mr. Edward."

Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Edward was not surprised, he simply said: "Since this is the case, please invite Mr. Li to come with me," and walked to the second floor after speaking.

Li Yunsheng hurriedly followed, and Robert who was on the side originally wanted to leave the Far East Trading Co., but after seeing Li Yunsheng, he immediately changed his mind and went up to the second floor with the two of them.

After entering an office, the three of them got ready on the sofa, and Edward was the first to speak: "Mr. Li said he wanted to find me for a big deal, but I don't know what kind of business it is."

Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "I just want to buy some things, and the quantity is not small, so I came to Mr. Edward."

Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Robert on the side smiled and said, "What Mr. Li wants to buy should be a large number of weapons."

Li Yunsheng said without hesitation: "Mr. Robert is right. I want to buy some weapons, but the main item I bought this time is a large amount of TNT explosives."

Hearing that it was TNT explosives, the expressions of the two Britons became serious, and Robert asked solemnly, "Mr. Li, why do you want to buy a large amount of explosives?"

Li Yunsheng replied with a smile: "What do I want to buy explosives for? Does this have anything to do with our transaction? After all, Mr. Edward is just a businessman, as long as he has money to make money."

Edward on the side immediately said: "Mr. Li, I am just an ordinary businessman. Although I also sell weapons, I must understand what these weapons are for, and a large amount of arms transactions must be approved by the consulate. The thing to buy is still TNT explosives."

Li Yunsheng frowned, and naturally saw that Edward said this in order to cooperate with Robert's questioning of his purpose, otherwise these foreigners would not care what you do when you buy weapons, but they have to bow their heads under the low eaves, so they had to say: "Mr. Robert , I want to buy some explosives, but to deal with the Japanese, you can guess this point."

Robert nodded, and said softly, "Of course I know that you are targeting the Japanese, but what I want to know is what targets you will use these explosives to attack."

Li Yunsheng looked at Robert, and said seriously: "I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Mr. Robert, after all, I'm just making trouble for the Japanese again."

Seeing Li Yunsheng's serious expression, Robert said gently: "Mr. Li, don't get me wrong, we are not enemies, and we can also be friends. After all, the expansion of the Japanese in the Far East is not in the interests of the British Empire. I want to know you What to do is just to deal with the future situation, after all, if you act recklessly, the situation in Tianjin will be chaotic."

Looking at Robert's expression, Li Yunsheng felt that these words were not false, and that Japan's invasion of China was indeed not in the interests of the UK, but the British are now strong outsiders, and have no ability to stop the behavior of the Japanese. The Japanese must be unlucky They were still happy to see the results, so they said, "I will use this batch of explosives to blow up several important Japanese strongholds. It should have little effect on the situation in Tianjin."

Although the two sides are not enemies, Li Yunsheng still did not tell Robert the truth. After all, these foreigners are very unreliable, and we must keep a hand when dealing with them.

As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Robert continued to ask: "Mr. Li, can you explain a little bit more clearly, which specific strongholds are there?"

Li Yunsheng was very annoyed by Robert's questioning. If it wasn't for the need to buy things with them, he really wanted to turn his face immediately, so he said coldly: "Mr. Robert, this is too much."

Seeing Li Yunsheng's displeasure, Robert immediately said: "Mr. Li, I won't leak the secret, how about this, I have a piece of news to tell you, so that you don't always worry about me."

Li Yunsheng said in surprise, "What news is it?"

Robert said meaningfully: "Mr. Edward is not only an arms dealer, but also an intelligence dealer. He has a copy of the Japanese military situation in his hand, which is about the current war in Wuhan. I wonder if you are interested."

Li Yunsheng immediately asked: "Of course I am interested. I don't know what Mr. Edward's military situation is."

Glancing at Robert, the two completed an exchange silently, and Edward said: "My news is the latest movement of the Japanese army, which is related to the success or failure of the Battle of Wuhan, but Mr. Li also knows that I am just a businessman. No matter what I do, You must have enough interests, and in order to obtain this information, my intelligence agent has taken a lot of risks, so this information cannot be given to you for nothing."

Li Yunsheng said without hesitation: "Money is not a problem, as long as the information you provide is valuable, no matter how much it is, I will not counter-offer, but Mr. Edward also knows what I do, so don't fool me with false information. "

Edward said with a smile: "My information must be true, there will never be any problems."

Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Then, Mr. Edward, please introduce this military situation."

Edward nodded and said seriously: "Because the war in Wuhan is not going well, the Japanese military decided to open up a new front. They will deploy troops from several divisions from the Northeast and Japan, and with the cooperation of the navy, they will attack directly. Guangzhou, cut off the Canton-Han railway.”

Hearing this news, Li Yunsheng was taken aback. After all, one of the important purposes of the Japanese attacking Wuhan was to cut off China’s communication lines. Once Guangzhou fell, not only would there be one less port to the sea, but the Canton-Han Railway would also be interrupted, so the battle in Wuhan would not continue. meaning.
