Chapter 281 Sweet Hong Kong Situation - Yunyin

"What about after the money is transported? According to Wen Tong's letter, he may need 20 taels to get through this difficulty. Even if we borrow from the Gao family, he is willing. Such a large amount of cash cannot be mobilized immediately. Arrived. There is only [-] silver that can be shipped immediately at Guangzhou Station, and the other [-] has to be raised."

"No way, the income in Guangzhou is good, not to mention the payment from the Gao family..."

"This is the number on the books, and no one would hoard so much cash—whether it is the Gao family or the Guangzhou station, with a large amount of cash, even if the Guangzhou station immediately calls the local position, it will take at least seven or eight days. "

"It's better to ship as much as you have first, than to sit and do nothing." Ma Qianju said, "After transporting 5 taels, at least it can help them buffer for a few weeks, and they can do a lot of things in a few weeks."

"Tell Guangzhou to prepare the silver, and we will send a ship to pick it up."

"Can you make it?"

"Send it to Dengyingzhou. It has an engine. It should take four days to go back and forth." Ma Qianju felt a little regretful. "It's a pity that it has returned to Lingao now. It would be better if it was in Guangzhou!"

"Should I buy rice in Guangzhou and then ship it? The price of rice in Guangzhou is one or two or three dollars, so there is still a price difference..."

"No, now is not the time," Yan Ming immediately vetoed the proposal, "The more the crisis is, the more you have to show yourself that you are strong. Pay with rice, which is fine at ordinary times. Now you must use silver to make the rumors impeccable. Otherwise, your confidence will go bankrupt. It will trigger an attack on southern China."

"Okay. Let's do it."

"Also, send a group of radio stations and necessary personnel to Leizhou immediately. There is no delay." Ma Qianzhu said, "Now Leizhou must keep in touch with us at all times!"

"Actually, I think it's better to mobilize the special investigation team. Beiwei is in Leizhou, and he will be beheaded directly..."

"Not yet. This kind of thing is easy to make a big deal, and they are not idiots. If it is serious, the South China Sugar Factory may not be their opponent-after all, we have no advantage in Leizhou." Wen Desi thought this It seems inappropriate to mobilize the army to intervene in this matter. Although the special investigation team is sure to smash the "Haiyi Hall" in Wentong's report to pieces, these people may be the targets of cooperation in the future. The most ideal way is to use commercial means to destroy them. Clean up and obey.Only in the future will they be completely convinced by the Time Traveling Group.

"Prepare with both hands." Ma Qianju is worthy of being called a hardliner. "Strive for a peaceful solution. If it doesn't work, we are not engaged in a commercial war. A straightforward solution is also an option."

That night, Bopu Port.

Since the morning, the wind and waves on the sea have gradually increased to level five, with high peaks and rough waves.At noon, the wind and waves became stronger and stronger. Not only the fishing boats fishing in the surrounding area, but also the ships of the navy that were originally on the open sea to guard and protect the fish—or rather, the fishing tyrant missions were also ordered to withdraw to the port.In Bopu Port, in addition to the ships belonging to the Ministry of Maritime Forces, in a specially designated separate water area, many fishing boats and passing ships temporarily entered the port for shelter.Because of the newly built lighthouse on Bopujiao and the scientific construction and management of the port by Crossing Group, it has gradually become an important anchorage for passing ships.

In the afternoon, the sky began to rain. The torrential rain seemed to be the prelude to the Lingao rainy season, and the sky quickly dimmed.It was almost dusk.All the lights in the Bopu camp were turned on.Except for the sentinels who continued to be on duty, there was no longer any activity outside the building, and even the extremely busy shipyard dock was silent, except for the steam and soot coming out of the boiler room, where the steam engine was driving the pump to drain water. Rumbling sound.Occasionally, there are only a few figures, wearing raincoats, running quickly from one building to another.

In the dark rain, suddenly from the road in the direction of Bairen, a ray of light tore through the dim twilight.A Beijing 212 Jeep drove over with bumps.The car stopped for a moment at the guard post at the gate of the camp.

"Pass pass!" The sentinel is a local boy in his early twenties, wearing a navy blue uniform. Although he is not tall, his military training for several months has given him a full military look.The people in the car were satisfied to see that he had properly stored his rifle under the coir raincoat.

A document was handed over.He took it over, and followed the rules brainwashed into his mind by the instructors, and carried out the "document check" procedure one by one like a machine.Finally, he handed the documents back to the inside of the car.Standing at attention and saluting:

"You can go there, head of the People's Commissar!"

The jeep's wheels spun and headed toward the interior of the camp.The roads in the camp have been simply hardened with cinders and steel slag, there is no water on them, and they drive very quickly.After a while, the car arrived at a container-style converted house near the pier.

Lights peeked from the windows of houses.The people in the car quickly jumped down, pushed the door open and walked in.

When the people in the room saw him coming in, they all stood up and stood up straight with a swipe.The people inside were all wearing First Year-style naval uniforms.

"Sit!" It was Wu De who came.It is really helpless to let him, a person of the people's committee level, take the lead.The backbone of the navy who traveled through the crowd either left with the expedition team, or drove a fishing boat to defend Bopu. There was really no suitable candidate, so Wu De volunteered to take on this mission.After all, when it comes to sailing experience in motor sailboats, no one has as much sailing experience as a former naval officer plus a fisherman's son.

There are several charts spread out on the table, as well as the 24-hour weather forecast issued by the Lingao Meteorological Observatory.

"Comrade People's Commissar! The Ministry of Maritime Forces, Bopu Harbor Director and Bopu Fortress..." Li Di stood up and was about to announce his official title.

"Okay, I'll play with this set of virtual rituals when I have time, now let's talk about the mission." Wu De waved his hand, "Report the situation! How is Dengyingzhou's status?"

"Yes," Li Dihui reported: "After receiving the mission instruction, we have inspected the ship. The ship is in normal condition and the engine is normal. To ensure safety, we have replaced the anchor cable and rigging. The diesel oil has also been filled up. gone."

"What about staffing?"

"Chief Ma gave us instructions to ensure safety, so the Ministry of Maritime Forces decided to use all the crew members of the traversers this time, and replace the native sailors and soldiers. However, the number of personnel is not enough, and we plan to transfer some more..."

"No." Wu De immediately vetoed it, "There must be at least 40 people on this ship, including the crew and guards. It takes up too much manpower. It is impossible to put so many eggs in one basket." He thought for a while, "And , Dengyingzhou has been running this route for a long time, and the indigenous sailors are more familiar with the hydrological conditions along the route than we are, so if you replace the experienced sailors with novices, isn't this asking for trouble?"

"Then how do we do this? A large sum of money is transported on board, if the natives are tempted—"

"Just don't let them know. Besides, the navy has cultivated people for so long, so they must have no sense of trust?"

"This—" Li Di thought to himself about the degree of trust in the aborigines. Up to now, no department has said that they can completely trust them [-]%.After he thought about it, he decided to go half-and-half, and he had an explanation for Mr. Ma and Mr. Wu.

"Then equip the staff on a half-to-half basis."

"Just follow this method. The naval cadets will also bring a few on board." Wood said, "Give them a lesson too, and taste the taste of the sea!"

"Report: The first batch of cadets of the Navy have all set off with the survey fleet for internships. Now it is the second batch. They have just been recruited for training for only a few weeks. It is probably useless to go to sea immediately."

"It doesn't matter, maybe this time the sea will tell us which people are useful and which people are useless."

"Yes!" Li Di immediately called the school: Six students who were older than the age were selected from the second-term naval cadet team.

"All crossing team members must be equipped with modern weapons," Wu De gave instructions, "Each person has [-] rounds of ammunition, plus two grenades."

Then I studied the chart and discussed the route... After discussing for more than an hour, Wu De asked:

"How's the weather?"

"The weather is not ideal." Li Di brought the weather forecast. "The air pressure shows that the wind and rain in the Qiongzhou Strait may last for 24 hours. Now it is northwest wind with a wind speed of 20 knots and a wave height of 2.5 meters."

Wu De thinks that this is the sea state of level 4. This sea state is not a big deal for ordinary modern ships, but for a mere 70-ton motor sailing boat, the wind and waves are not small.Going to sea involves taking certain risks.But now, the South China Sugar Factory on the other side of the strait is anxiously waiting for money to help...

"Get ready, get ready to sail!"

"Let's see if the wind and waves will be lighter tomorrow before sailing again..." Li Di was taken aback, he felt a little trembling just looking at the sea conditions outside the port.

"Can't wait, we only have four days!" Wu De's tone was serious.

"Okay, I'll get ready."

"Slow!" Wu De stopped him and said to the marines in the room, "Someone may be sacrificed in this mission! Anyone who doesn't want to go, please bring it up immediately! As the commander-in-chief of this mission, I can allow him not to Go! Replace with native personnel."

Originally, some people saw that he was going to go to sea regardless of the sea conditions, and they were going to come out to persuade them, but after this, no one could speak——Being a soft-headed guy in front of everyone is something that most people can't do. .At that moment, someone broke his heart and immediately came out to express his determination:

"In order to cross the great cause, we resolutely obey the order, wherever the executive committee points out, we will sail there!"

"If you are afraid of death, you will not be a navy!"

……

As expected, the atmosphere was mobilized, and the time-traveling people in the room rushed to show their "military spirit".Wu De nodded upon seeing this: "Everyone go back and prepare immediately, and gather at the pier on time at 16 o'clock. Disband!"

Wu De waited for everyone to go out, and he also sorted out the luggage written down in the car, and changed into the navy work uniform, water boots and nautical raincoat he brought.He checked his Type 54 pistol again and carefully hid it in a waterproof holster.

For him, the sea conditions are not the biggest enemy, but the safety of the silver on board. It is difficult to keep such a large amount of silver on board without anyone noticing. After winning this fortune, I wanted to do a sea robbery. With Dengyingzhou's armed forces, I can deal with two or three ships, but if there are too many, it will be difficult.At that time, you can only run for your life at full speed.Nothing wrong with diesels and propellers...

Through the glass of the window, you can see the lights of the ships in the port area flickering in the wind and rain, and the tall earth cranes are also lit with lanterns in the sky in accordance with the safety regulations of another time and space.With cranes, shipbuilding will be faster and more convenient - unfortunately, there are still too few people and not enough.

While thinking about something, someone suddenly shouted at the door: "Report!"

"What's the matter?" Wu De turned around and saw a sailor standing at the door.

"Wu—is it Chief Wu?"

"it's me."

"Well, a woman came to the gate of the base and insisted on seeing you." Hai Bing hesitated, "She said she was your maid."

"Chuyu?!" Wu De was taken aback, it must be the first rain, the sky was so dark, and it was raining heavily again, she actually walked from Bairen City to Bopu by herself.This is more than ten kilometers away!

When he went out, he had already told Chu Yu that if he wanted to go on a business trip to the mainland, this little girl was reluctant to let go, with an expression of reluctance, and he thought it was over after a few instructions, but she still chased after her. come over

Women, what a hassle!He murmured, but couldn't help but feel a heat in his heart.

"Well, chief, do you want to bring her here?" The sentinel asked, seeing that he recognized a woman.

"No, she doesn't have a pass, so she can't enter the base." Wu De thought for a while, "Let her go back to the villa and wait for me."

"Yes."

Although the task is urgent, with this incident, the handling of affairs at hand is also a lot tighter.After dealing with the matter, I looked at my watch. It was already 15 o'clock, so I stepped out of the naval base. As soon as I left the gate, I heard someone call "Master" amidst the sound of rain. I couldn't help being surprised, and looked back. I saw a figure hiding under an abandoned wooden gate outside the base, wearing a coir raincoat, it wasn't Chuyu.

"What are you doing! Why don't you go to the villa?" Although Wu De was moved, he also hated women's mother-in-law.Ever since one night after the new year, when the loneliness of the night forced Chu Yu to use him up, Chu Yu took care of him even more meticulously, and wished he could even wash his feet.It seems that he is the only one in this life.

"I'm afraid that the master won't go to the villa, if he leaves like this, Chu Yu won't be able to meet the master—"

"Bullshit." Wu De scolded, "Am I such a person?!"

"Yes, sir." The woman bowed her head obediently.

"Let's go, are you all wet?"

"It's okay, master," the woman wiped the rain off her face neatly, "the sentries here don't show mercy, and they don't allow me to go inside to avoid the rain..."

"This is an important military location, let's go!" He waved his hand, "Go to the villa to talk."
