Shadow Spy

Chapter 69 Problems with Transportation Channels

Hearing Wen Qiang's explanation, Li Junhao couldn't help but said: "Since Mr. Dai knows that the chief and deputy district chiefs don't get along, why not transfer one of them? In intelligence work, this kind of internal strife will cause big trouble!"

Hearing this, Wen Qiang sighed and said: "You are right, but Boss Dai is very confident. He thinks that both Wang and Zhao are old people in Lixingshe. Although they are reserved, they should know how to take the overall situation into account." It’s very important! Moreover, the Shanghai District has made great achievements in its work now, so it is not suitable to make changes..."

"Tch! Isn't this a bit too taken for granted?" Li Junhao said disdainfully, "I can say that if this situation continues, the Shanghai District will be in catastrophe in less than half a year! By then, I estimate that you will wear The boss will be ashamed!"

Hearing such rude words, although Wen Qiang agreed in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.Because of his personal experience (first joining the underground party, then joining the fourth phase of Huangpu, and then quitting the party, he was introduced by General Cheng Qian, then chief of general staff, to rejoin the Kuomintang), he will never gain the true trust of the Chairman, Dai Li and others. I can live my life cautiously and cautiously, but I dare not say anything too tough!

Of course, Li Junhao knew about Wen Qiang's situation. Seeing his expression, it was not difficult for him, and said: "In this way, Brother Nianguan came to Shanghai this time. Although he went deep behind enemy lines, there was a certain It’s dangerous, but I finally got a real job, which can be considered a happy event! Huh?”

Wen Qiang was stunned for a moment, then extended his thumb and praised: "Mr. Pan Sen is really great, you can guess this!" The last trace of contempt for his age disappeared in his heart.

Li Junhao waved his hand and said: "Brother Nianguan is joking, this is obvious! You were staying well in Chongqing, but you were sent behind enemy lines by an order. They still expect you to do a good job in intelligence work. Why don't you give me some sweeteners?" Can it be done?"

"Mr. Pan Sen, I'm convinced, you know our situation too well!" Wen Qiang said with a bitter smile.

"Brother Nianguan, you and I have hit it off, and we are considered friends now. Don't call me sir anymore." Li Junhao said, "My Chinese name is Li Junhao, please call me Junhao from now on!"

Wen Qiang was overjoyed, knowing that he had gained the other party's approval, and immediately said: "Well, although I am a few years older, I am not as knowledgeable or accomplished as you are, Junhao. From now on, you will also call me by my first name. Can!"

"Then I'll call you by your current name 'Nianwu'! To avoid any trouble." Li Junhao said.

After this conversation, both of them became happy and once again reached out and shook hands.

At this time, Xiaoyu came out to change tea for the two of them. This was the first time she saw someone who was so compatible with Brother Jun, so she naturally paid attention to it. After changing the tea, she asked: "Brother Jun, it's getting late, isn't it too late?" Cooking for two?”

When Wen Qiang heard this, he was about to stand up and leave, but Li Junhao stopped him and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, cook more dishes. I want to get drunk with Nianwu today!"

"Okay, Brother Jun." Xiaoyu agreed and ran away happily.After tasting the new tea, Wen Qiang said again: "Junhao, in addition to intelligence work, I also have an important task when I come to Shanghai this time, which is to find a way to open a transportation channel from Shanghai to Chongqing. This is why I have to use foreign The reason for behavioral identity concealment..."

Li Junhao nodded to express his understanding. Now the Japanese army has implemented a strict economic blockade policy on the Kuomintang-controlled areas. Military and civilian products, whether imported or produced in Shanghai and other places, are listed as embargoed materials. This has caused serious resource shortages in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and base areas, and even The supply of cloth for clothes cannot be guaranteed. Although many textile factories have been relocated in CQ City, the supply of cotton and cotton yarn is seriously insufficient, and the operating rate is less than [-]%...

In addition, there is an extreme shortage of industrial supplies such as steel, machinery, electronics, chemicals, and rubber, as well as various daily necessities such as grain, salt, sugar, cigarettes, washing powder, soap, etc. This not only seriously affects the construction of the army, but also greatly affects the development of the army. People's lives have fallen into serious hardship.

At this time, as long as someone can master the trading channels between the occupied areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas, not only will they make a fortune, but they will also be heroes who support the war of resistance.

Of course, this kind of underground smuggling channel has always existed, because for the Japanese army, strategies such as tungsten sand, tung oil, and bristle mentioned before also need to be imported from the Kuomintang-controlled areas, so currently all the forces with some capabilities are there Engaging in smuggling, the Japanese army turned a blind eye to a certain extent, because completely cutting off the transaction would also be detrimental to them.

This time Wen Qiang was ordered to come to Shanghai in the hope of opening such a transportation channel. For this purpose, Dai Li prepared a large sum of money for him, and specifically told him that Mr. Pan Sen from the US Consulate General would be a very reliable helper. Maintain good relationships.

When Wen Qiang said this, Li Junhao couldn't help but laugh. Dai Li had benefited from the last transaction between the two of them, so he wanted to tie him up as a supplier!
In this way, Wen Qiang was sent to Shanghai because of himself. After all, when he was in Chongqing, apart from Dai Li, he only had contact with Wen Qiang, a member of the military.But it just so happens that I also need the three types of strategic materials in the Kuomintang-controlled area now, so I can exchange what I need. Of course, I need to build a safe transportation channel.

In fact, speaking of it, his portable space is the safest method of transportation. As long as he can travel back and forth between the two places smoothly, hundreds or thousands of tons of cargo can be brought safely!But if he does this, he will be reduced to a courier boy. Isn't this a bit too low for him with a powerful system?

Li Junhao was thinking while saying: "Nian Wu, actually I have also received the task of purchasing materials in the Consulate General, mainly tungsten sand, tung oil and bristle. I wonder if you have felt the current market situation after coming to Shanghai. There is some confusion, foreign companies and various forces from all over the world are rushing to buy these three supplies?"

"Yes, I'm still confused!" Wen Qiang said, "Although I know that these three materials are strategic materials, I didn't expect that the supply and demand in Shanghai are so tight!"

"Actually, this is probably caused by our U.S. Consulate General..." Li Junhao explained briefly.

"So that's it." Wen Qiang smiled, "These three materials are quite difficult for military commanders. Hundreds or thousands of tons can be collected at any time, but transportation is a big problem."

"Well, this is good news. The transportation issue still needs to be seriously considered!" Li Junhao didn't finish his words.
