Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 375 Boss Dai
August 25, 1937, the battlefield of the Battle of Shanghai.

The "Ten-Day Siege" operation plan launched by the National Army in the urban area failed, but this was only the prelude to the real war between China and Japan.

As the news that the commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, was captured alive from the Navy Headquarters building spread to the top leaders of both sides, both China and Japan tacitly withdrew their positions. Both sides took a halftime break, freeing up their hands to strengthen each other's fortifications and collect the bodies of the soldiers killed in the battle.

Each side sent a representative to discuss a time to exchange the bodies.

After ten days of bloody fighting, the battlefield in the urban area of ​​Songhu finally had a rare few days of calm.

The Japanese Navy and the National Army also each sent representatives to the non-fire zone of the International Settlement, with Britain and the United States watching each side.

Negotiate the return of the commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet.

The Republic of China branch of the Continental Hotel, located south of Suzhou River in the Shanghai International Settlement.

Wang Yi, who had checked into a mainland hotel with the remaining Quan Xing disciples, was also chatting with Liu Wei and Li Qiang about a series of changes brought about by Wang Yi's lone venture into the enemy camp and capturing a general.

With Wang Yi's cooperation, Liu Wei is now the apparent leader of the Soitong Company. Li Qiang, who was sent from the Shaanxi-Gansu base, has also, with the help of Liu Wei, activated his trade talent in advance and is responsible for the company's business operations.

The two had clear division of labor. Liu Wei was good at networking and was responsible for connecting with these high-level officials within the National Government.

Li Qiang was in charge of the company's trade dealings, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and using the money he earned to shut the mouths and eyes of these high-ranking officials of the National Government, so that they could make some small moves here and quietly support the base.

Wang Yi, the founder of Soitong Company, has now disappeared from the company system.

Because the conflict between Wang Yi and the Japanese prevented those high-ranking officials in the National Government from making money, now that he has retired, it is good for everyone to bring up Li Qiang, who came out of nowhere, as his spokesperson.

Although everyone knows that this is taking off pants to fart, the meaning is different with or without this step.

As for Wang Yi himself, he moved directly into the Mainland Hotel with a bunch of stuff and all his disciples, occupying an entire floor.

The managers of the mainland hotels have no objection to this.

Because they all knew that Wang Yi was the partner of Mr. John Wick who was far away in the United States. It was Wang Yi who set the stage for Mr. John Wick in the Battle of New York that year, which led to the current prosperity of Continental Group in the United States.

Facts have proved that Wang Yi's decision was correct. At least after Liu Wei and Li Qiang came up, he was able to get the news of any changes in the National Government at the first time.

"Any news?"

"Yes, the Japanese are very sincere. In order to ensure the safety of their commander, they are now preventing the landing of the vanguard troops coming to support us. They have also provided us with detailed information about the vanguard troops and the landing location. Commander Zhang has already sent people to scout the area and occupy the advantageous terrain.

This is really eye-opening. The Japanese navy and army are so incompatible that they are even more ruthless than us. After all, the people who can fight on both sides of our side basically studied in the same school. Although they are ruthless, they still take into account the friendship. Of course, only part of it. "

Liu Wei and Li Qiang also had an expression on their face, saying, "I've never seen such a scene before."

Wang Yi was also laughing. The Japanese army and navy idiots were at loggerheads with each other. They wished that the other side would disappear from the spot and die on the spot.

"So how do we respond?"

"We have secured the point, but Commander Zhang has also left a mobile reserve force, fearing that the Japanese will trick us and lure us away. But we haven't yet decided how to return the old devil. We will first cooperate with the Japanese Navy to cover up the news that you have captured the old devil alive."

"Why haven't you discussed it yet?"

"It's like this. We want compensation. If you don't have money, we can use military equipment to offset it. Then we have to send a vanguard to confirm that the intelligence is correct. We also have to ask the Japanese Navy to hand over a list of spies lurking in the government before we can release them."

"What are the negotiators of the National Government thinking? They let the Japanese Navy send a vanguard? Why don't they just tell the Japanese Army that the Navy has betrayed you, don't fight us, go fight the Japanese Navy first. Do you really think this old devil I captured is so valuable that you want more? And a list of traitors? I think they are the traitors!"

Wang Yi felt that he really couldn't understand the train of thought of this group of celebrities in the National Government. The Japanese Navy has sent the Army's stupid intelligence to your faces. Will you die if you send a few more people to investigate?

The damn support troops are such a big target, and they are on the river or the sea, how come we can’t see them?

Will you be happy only if you force the Japanese navy and army to join forces to beat you up?

"Don't complain to us here. Just because the top leaders of the National Government are not smart doesn't mean that Commander Zhang and his men who are commanding the battle on the front line are not smart. They have already sent people to contact those representatives and told them that the intelligence provided by the Japanese Navy is correct. Now we just need to quickly exchange this commander for more armaments and weapons to avoid us suffering losses again."

"Can you please stop breathing so heavily next time you speak? What's the situation with the negotiation now?"

"The compensation for the arms is still being discussed. It will probably take only two days. The representatives have informed us that they have obtained the arms and weapons and hope that we will handle them so that we can sell them at a good price..."

At this point, Liu Wei's voice gradually became smaller, and Li Qiang next to him looked even more worried.

Although he had many dealings with the Nationalist government during his student days, the fact that the Nationalist government could still stably perform this kind of operation of tightening the front and rear in a war that could affect the situation in East China only made him feel angry.

Who do they want to sell these weapons from the Japanese? There are too many targets. The 88th, 87th and 36th Divisions that are currently resting, the local troops that are coming one after another, the direct troops, and even the Japanese themselves are all good buyers.

There are many hidden brokers in this public concession who can act as middlemen.

Wang Yi has become accustomed to these fancy moves by crowd-stars, and his Qi-cultivation skills are much better than Li Qiang's. He rubbed his brows and then spoke.

"So you guys are here to ask me for advice?"

"You have a lot of tricks. You are not good at dealing with business, but when it comes to making trouble, the two of us, including Lao Zhang, are not as good as you."

"Are you scolding me or praising me? Let me think about it carefully and figure out how to handle this."

Wang Yi was thinking, and Liu Wei and Li Qiang did not disturb him. They just waited for Wang Yi to come up with some ideas.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yi slowly spoke.

"These guys have handed us the evidence, so we should take it. Anyway, we have a big American consortium behind us, so we can sell it to the Japanese. But we need their authorization letters and signed documents, preferably with photos."

"Wouldn't that be aiding the enemy? Old Wang, I won't do such a traitorous thing!"

Li Qiang interrupted and quickly refused.

"What do you mean you did it? I, the man behind the scenes, instructed you to do it. The signature was mine, not yours. And this is not aiding the enemy. You have to learn this from the high-ranking military supply officials of the National Government. Let me ask you, what is the most common way these high-ranking military supply officials use to embezzle money?"

Li Qiang was stunned at first, but he answered subconsciously.

"Passing inferior goods off as good ones, the fire dragon burning the warehouse, huh?!" All of a sudden, Li Qiang seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yi was different.

You look righteous, but when it comes to tricks, you're no worse than those landlords and capitalists!
"That's right. Let's use these military supplies and weapons obtained from the Japanese Navy to pass off inferior goods as good ones for these three divisions, and then sell them to the Japanese. Of course, the premise is that the compensation from the Japanese must be good stuff. Otherwise, you can just tell those representatives that this deal cannot be done. The sellers are not fools. We still need to maintain our company's reputation.

And if we do this, the money we get will be split 30% for us and 70% for them, and we will transfer the money to their overseas accounts.”

"Wouldn't that just give them a good reputation?"

"Where does their good reputation come from? They are only responsible for negotiating and agreeing on the quantity. We are the ones who inspect and accept the goods, and we are also responsible for who to sell to. They are responsible for collecting the money, signing and taking photos, taking two copies, and keeping evidence for each other. Of course, we have to do it quietly so that they don't find out."

"Li Qiang, let me tell you, Lao Wang has more bad intentions than the two of us have had in the past, so it's definitely right to go to him. I'll go talk to them, and you'll just be responsible for doing the business. As for how to contact the seller, leave it to this guy. If he can tell me, there must be a way."

Liu Wei laughed and scolded. Wang Yi no longer wanted to explain anything and just assigned another task to Li Qiang.

"Li Qiang, there's something I need your help with."

"You said."

"Didn't you arrange for a group of reliable comrades to work at the Mainland Daily before? It's just right, let them take action this time."

"This is inferior. You used the Fire Dragon to burn the warehouse. What else do you plan to use?"

"It's a strategy to sow discord. We have to let these soldiers who risked their lives for the country know what the authorities they serve are doing with the results they have won with their lives."

"And use it now? To alienate the frontline soldiers from the government's top brass?"

"Of course not. You have to come little by little. Go ahead. I'll make the arrangements once you gather everyone together."

"to make."

With the direction, Liu Wei and Li Qiang knew what to do, but before leaving, Liu Wei still reminded Wang Yi.

"You should be careful too. Although the top brass of both the Nationalist Army and the Japanese Navy suppressed the news that the old devil was captured alive, they all know that it was you who did it. Someone in the Nationalist government has already noticed you. The commotion you have caused this time has made many people uneasy and they will come to test you. The Japanese will not be able to swallow this anger."

"I know that. I can handle it myself. You guys go ahead and do your work."

Wang Yi saw Liu Wei and Li Qiang off.

Meanwhile, at the Du Mansion in the French Concession, tycoon Mr. Du was also respectfully entertaining a guest.

The guest sat in the upper seat, with a slicked-back hair and a black Mao suit, and looked refined and refined like a scholar. But the tycoon, Mr. Du, was very polite, even a little humble. After serving tea and snacks, he said nothing, lowered his head slightly, and looked at him out of the corner of his eye. There was a young man standing behind the man, with an attitude of "no strangers allowed".

The man was holding a document in his hand and reading it.

"Wang Yi was born in the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. He studied under the famous ghost hand Wang Yaozu of Quanxing. In the 14th year of the Republic of China, he became famous in a duel with the disciple of the Tianshi Temple at the birthday banquet of the Lu family in Jiangnan. Later, he entered the capital and fought against the envoys of eight countries. He defeated the heroes and became famous. After that, he got in touch with the old commander of the Fengtian Army. When the old commander was attacked, he helped the young commander to hand over to the old commander. Later, he went to the United States and returned to China as the only spokesperson of the American Continental Group in China.

He acted as a matchmaker to help the Continental Group gain benefits in China. Later, when the Fengtian Incident occurred, he led a group of people from the Jianghu out of the pass and headed north, killing countless bandits. His skills were so high that he could be called a land immortal. This time, he even captured the enemy leader among the thousands of troops. Calculating his age, he is only thirty-two? He is really a hero in his youth, eh? Shuangying, I remember you were from outside the pass, and were you saved by him? "

"Yes, sir. When you recruited me, I told you about Wang Yi. He also caused quite a bit of trouble during the Luotian Grand Ceremony at Mount Longhu this time."

"He is a restless man. Are you interested in going with me to meet your savior?"

"I will follow your instructions, sir."

"Okay, let's go and meet this land immortal. Boss Du, the tea is good. I'd like to borrow your car for a while. I'll need your help in recruiting students."

"No, no, this is my duty. Please say a few good words for me in front of the chairman when you go back, Mr. Dai. I have prepared a gift in the car, please accept it, Mr. Dai."

"Boss Du, we are so familiar with each other now, it doesn't matter if we are polite or not."

"That is, that is."

Boss Du put himself in a very humble position and respectfully escorted Mr. Dai and his assistant out of the mansion. The assistant Yan Shuangying walked past Boss Du, checked the vehicle, and only opened the door for Mr. Dai after confirming that there was no danger.

Mr. Dai also saw the souvenir of the ink painting and a heavy gift box on the back seat. He didn't say much, but just nodded to his assistant Yan Shuangying.

Yan Shuangying also took over the driver's seat and drove Mr. Dai to the Continental Hotel in the International Settlement.

At the Mainland Hotel, Wang Yi was thinking about whether to meet Zhou Weiguo and negotiate with him.

For Wang Yi, meeting this person on the Battle of Songhu was both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, this is a time and space with mutants and aliens, and the historical trend is almost the same as the original time and space. It is not surprising that there are some more people or some fewer people.

Moreover, Zhou Weiguo was originally a member of the central lineage of the National Army, and later went to the other side. It can only be said that it was fate that we met.

At this time, Bucciarati, the manager of the Republic of China branch of the Continental Hotel, also came to report to Wang Yi.

"Mr. Wang, a man who calls himself Boss Dai wants to see you. He also said he brought an old friend with him. This is his business card."

Wang Yi took the business card and raised his eyebrows when he saw the name on it.

Wow, here comes a big shot.

"Invite them in."

"Yes."

　There are a lot of things to do today, Monday, so there is only one update.

　　Damn, this period of history is so difficult to write. I can't change the course of history, but it has to be satisfying, and it also has to be relatively reasonable. It's too brain-burning. I'll make up for it tomorrow with three updates.

　　You have to give more monthly tickets and subscriptions at the beginning of the month! ! !
