Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 165 Hi, Hydra (Second update, please subscribe)

People have always found opportunities to make money in the suffering of others.

This is true everywhere!

In September last year, the German occupation authorities issued a ban, cut off all food supplies in the Netherlands, and implemented a comprehensive blockade. The winter of 9 was a winter full of death for the Dutch who had no food and fuel. Although the Allies used thousands of bombers to airdrop tens of thousands of tons of supplies to the Netherlands, it was only a drop in the bucket. Currently, Dutch food is hard to buy, and the price of wheat on the black market is as high as $44 per kilogram.

Famine, cold, despair, and death have been hanging over the Netherlands this winter.

Question: What is most valuable in a famine?

Answer: food!
  The German blockade of the Netherlands left millions of Dutch people starving. At the same time, of course, it also allowed many people to see business opportunities, such as the black market traders in France and Belgium. Those guys with a keen sense of smell immediately sniffed the Netherlands. Seeing the business opportunities, underground smuggling channels appeared on the sea.

Every night, small boats set off from the coast of Belgium or France to smuggle food into the Netherlands for huge profits. The food sent by these smugglers saved countless Dutch lives.

As for the German army... there were no ships to stop these smuggling ships. Due to lack of fuel, the German maritime patrol stopped patrolling a month ago. Stopping smuggling now relies mainly on land patrols.

But in fact, many patrols have been bribed by smugglers. It was not only the smugglers who could see opportunities in pain, but also the German troops carrying out the blockade mission.

Of course, for the special operations team, rampant smuggling is also an opportunity for them.

That night, a bulk carrier of about a thousand tons slowly sailed to the sea off Amsterdam. Cheng Pengan and the temporarily organized Rangers standing on the deck were nervously watching the landing.

"Boss, who do we need here?"

the Rangers asked.

"It's not about picking up people, it's about picking up goods."

Cheng Pengan said.

"Be careful, the Germans are on shore."

The Germans were indeed on shore, but there was no threat to them because... Berlin had arranged everything.

In fact, the German patrols on the shore will not go to the sea. Not only do they have no fuel, but more importantly, they also need to profit from smuggling activities.

And Berlin needed to send supplies to the sea. At about 10 o'clock that night, a flat-bottomed barge loaded with steel barrels sailed to the sea. There were dozens of Gestapo in uniforms standing on the ship. After arriving at the agreed location, Berlin took The flashlight was turned on and the light signal was sent out. The red lights flashed one after another. Soon, the two parties were connected.

After the flat-bottomed barge approached the cargo ship, Berlin raised his right arm and said.

"Long live the Hydra!"

The people on the boat responded.

"Long live the Hydra!"

This was the secret code for the joint. It was very dark and made Berlin very curious as to why Li Yian chose this secret code.

"Cut off one head and give birth to two!"

This is "Hydra" - never dies, always exists.

Perhaps, such a Hydra is really needed for them!
  Berlin then boarded the ship.

"Long live the Hydra!"

Once again, both sides saluted again.

"Hello, have you brought the goods?"

Cheng Pengan asked.

"It's all on board."

Berlin said.

"In order to facilitate transportation, the goods are loaded on pallets in units of 5 tons, and only need to be lifted by a crane."

"OK,"

Soon the crane on the cargo ship was in operation, and pallets weighing five tons were hoisted into the cabin. While both parties were busy, Berlin said to Cheng Peng'an again.

"I hope you can do me one more favor."

"If you have anything to do, just follow your instructions. The boss has told me that this operation will all follow your command."

As an intelligence staff officer, this is the first time for Cheng Peng'an to direct such a secret intelligence activity, and he is still cooperating with the Germans. If word of this gets out... he will not know what to do, but he is [-]% obedient to the boss's orders. Any objection.

"On the way to transport the goods, I encountered a group of Dutch people. I had to deal with them in order to keep it secret, but there was a little girl among them. I think... maybe I can bring it to you, and then... she is just a child. She Should survive.”

Cheng Peng'an was stunned by Bolin's words. He looked at the Gestapo in front of him. They were a group of guys with a notorious reputation, and they could be merciful at times.

Although he was a little curious, he still nodded and said. "Okay, I will take care of this matter. Don't worry, I will take him to France."

Soon, Ada, who was still in a coma, was put on the ship.

Berlin specifically warned:
  "Before going to sea, I gave her some medicine. Perhaps it would be easier to explain everything if she stays in a coma like this."

"Okay, I know!"

At about four o'clock in the morning, the cargo was finally loaded. In return, Berlin's ship also received hundreds of tons of food and medicine. These materials are very valuable whether in the Netherlands or Germany, although the value cannot be compared with uranium. But at this time, for Berlin and his Rangers, these supplies were even more precious than money.

……

When she woke up again, Ada was surprised to find that she was not in a prison, and there were no vicious Gestapo around her. Instead, she was in a warm room. The room was very warm and clean, and she was even covered with a thick blanket. A thick blanket and a sling bottle on his arm.

There seemed to be some faint passwords outside the window, but she couldn't understand their passwords. They were not German, not English, and not Dutch.

Everything reminded her that this was definitely not a German prison.

"Where is this? Why am I here?"

Looking at the blanket covering her body, Ada's eyes were full of doubts.

"Didn't I get caught by the Germans?"

"you're awake?"

Just at this moment, a voice came to my ears, it was French, and I saw a nurse walking to the bedside.

"Ma'am, what is this place?"

"It's Lance, ma'am. You're in France now."

France!

Ada opened her eyes suddenly and said doubtfully.

"How did I get to France? I'm obviously in the Netherlands!"

"In Amsterdam, right?"

Emily said while checking the remaining amount of liquid in the hanging bottle:
  "Our commando team attacked a group of Germans in the Netherlands. They found you in the car and took you back considering your safety, but you were unconscious the entire time."

Emily looked at the girl with a sallow complexion and skinny skin, and said.

"You have been in coma for four days. You must be starving. If they hadn't saved you, I'm afraid you would have died of hunger by now."

"Four days? Was I unconscious for four days?"

Ada's little head was full of doubts. Before she could figure out why she had been unconscious for so long, her stomach made a rumble of hunger. The sound was very clear in the room, making her hang her head shyly.

"Look, you must be hungry. Let's eat something first."

Soon Emily came over holding a tray.

There's milk and there's sandwiches!

Instantly, extreme hunger enhanced her sense of smell, allowing Ada to smell the fragrance in the air.

"Thank you, ma'am."

After thanking her, Ada carefully picked up the milk cup. The smell of milk almost made her salivate.

Ada, who had not eaten for several days, had a bright smile on her face while drinking milk, but the smile was a bit scary. After all, she was so thin that her thin cheekbones were sticking out.

Soon the food on the plate had reached the bottom, and her empty stomach finally felt much better. Only then did Ada ask.

"Ma'am, may I know who saved my life? I would like to thank him personally."

"I'm afraid not at the moment. The commando team is carrying out a secret operation. I don't know their identities. However, the commander's office also knows about this. The commander has given instructions that when you wake up, you can stay here and wait for the war. After that, we’ll go back to the Netherlands.”

Looking at the skinny little girl in front of her, Emily couldn't help but feel heartache and said.

"At least you don't have to starve here. If you are willing, you can help on the nursing team first after your body recovers."

After Emily left, Ada found herself in the room. The long-lost feeling of fullness made Ada feel a long-lost sense of security deep in her heart.

Yes.

That's what it feels like...that's what it feels like to be safe.

It’s the feeling of safety that food brings!
