Chapter 545 The Ups and Downs of Troubled Times (10)

When things have come to this point, everyone is not in a bad mood. At first they thought that no matter how difficult the task was, there would be no hope of completing it, but now they found that everything was a waste of work, and in the end there were heavy casualties. Purpose.

Si Xuanyi's people didn't have much loss except ammunition, but he was thinking about those precious cultural relics in his heart. Although gold was priceless, it was just a pile of precious metals. In comparison, the historical value of those cultural relics and The cultural significance cannot be compared with that of gold, but under the current situation, he has nothing to do. Originally, this was a mission to help Zhou Xiaopeng and the others collect these cultural relics, so they have no initiative. In other words, here, he cannot be the master.

"The reason why the little devils did this was to avoid possible similar situations. Obviously they succeeded." Li Siming took the lead in breaking the long silence and began to analyze the current situation.

"It can be said accurately that we are in a very bad situation now. Not to mention the heavy casualties, we still don't know where those things are going. Time is running out and the brat may use those things overseas at any time." Zhou Xiaopeng said, "But according to the time Calculated, we still have at least half a day or even a day, if we can't find the whereabouts of these things within this time, then I'm afraid we will never have another chance."

"It's definitely impossible to transport so many things away quietly, and you have to take a boat to ship overseas, so you can only go by water. Will they secretly transport things away from other ports?"

Zhou Xiaopeng shook his head; "If it was very likely in the past, but the recent situation is very favorable to us, the little devils don't dare to toss about it casually. After all, there are a lot of things and the goal is big, so even if they want to change places We must also carefully consider the security issue. Shanghai is the safest of all the ports they currently control. Other ports that can go to sea safely are far away, so the possibility is not too great, unless they dare to take risks for long-distance transportation, otherwise , Shanghai is their only choice."

Li Siming nodded: "If you are right, it can only explain one problem. The mode of transportation they changed, I mean the reason why we couldn't wait for the train that should come, maybe they switched to car transportation, Although it is risky, if it is used properly, it can still achieve unexpected results.”

"Our people are investigating, and there will be results soon, but it's hard to say whether we can really find those things." Zhou Xiaopeng sighed and said helplessly. Although he knew that waiting for news was not the answer, he There is really nothing left to do now.

"We can't go on like this, and we can't wait. Let's use all channels to investigate. There is no other way now." Si Xuanyi said, "In addition, contact the major local gangs. They are well-informed and have minions everywhere. They are the best sources of information. .”

"It is very likely that someone will take advantage of the news and rob." Zhou Xiaopeng thinks that this method is not very good. The gangsters can do anything, and it is very likely that they will take the opportunity to intercept the gangster after learning the news. At that time, the situation will be even worse. It's getting out of hand.

"The gang is also Chinese. If we take ten thousand steps back and say that we can't find it, if it is robbed by the gang, it is better than being shipped back by the Japanese." Li Siming said, "In short, this thing is still in our own hands. , right? Regardless of whether the gang is on the opposite side of us, compared with the Japanese, it can be regarded as housework."

Although this theory is correct, no one knows how far the situation will get out of control in the end. Maybe they will get the whereabouts of those things accurately, or they may get out of control in the end, but they are very happy now. What is clear is that once the news spreads, the world will be completely chaotic, and all kinds of organizations and underground gangs will participate in it. Not to mention the priceless cultural relics, the seven tons of gold alone are enough to drive everyone crazy .

"...I understand that you intend to muddy the water, obstruct the transportation of the little devils, and make them lose their lives, but have you ever thought about the result? Not only will there be chaos in the rivers and lakes, but there will be people involved. This is a trivial matter , but the damage of cultural relics during the snatching process, have you considered it? You are in this business, don’t you think about this problem at all?” Zhou Xiaopeng quite did not understand why these people who specialize in the protection of cultural relics as their job would come up with Such a bad way.

"Don't you understand?" Si Xuanyi smiled wryly, "What we have to do now is to stop the little devil from transporting these things away. If the little devil successfully packs these things up and ships them overseas, wouldn't we be a bit of scum? If there is nothing left, what are you talking about completing the task?"

Zhou Xiaopeng stopped talking, weighed it for a long time and finally sighed. He knew very well that Si Xuanyi was right. Their primary purpose now was to prevent the little devil from transporting the things away. As for all other follow-up work, this was the premise. It can only be implemented, it seems that there is really nothing other than muddying the water to make this task more complicated.

"Let's do it! At this point, we can only gamble on luck. If we fail, we have to bear the responsibility. If we succeed, we are also inseparable from the responsibility." Si Xuanyi knew very well that they were destined to be drawn into a mess, No matter whether they succeed or fail, they cannot get rid of the chaos. Unless they are willing to continue to investigate alone at the risk of the little devil taking things away, the gang is the only way for them now, although it will be difficult to do so There are a lot of uncertainties, and even more difficult situations to control, but at least it can maximize the goal of preventing the little devils from transporting these things out of China as quickly as possible. Although the strategy of hurting oneself is not overbearing, I can definitely call it a unique strategy.

"Well... Although I don't agree with your approach, this is indeed the only thing we can do at the moment. May God bless the situation so that it doesn't get too bad." Zhou Xiaopeng knew very well that he had no way of turning back. Conservative decision has only two endings, one is direct failure and can't find those things, the other is to find those things, but even if they find those things, they may not have time or opportunity to intercept them, and Si Xuanyi's method It really made him see some hope, to muddy the water first when there is nothing to do, let more people and more forces participate, and create many obstacles for the little devil, even if he can't find the little devil's transport vehicle on the road, There will also be a large number of gang members at the pier, waiting for the opportunity to attack, making the little devils feel like sitting on pins and needles, and dare not transport things out easily. They can also win more time and make the situation more beneficial to them in the chaos.

Two hours later, almost all the large-scale gangs in Shanghai got the news that the little devil was trying to leave China with a batch of priceless gold. It was conservatively estimated that it was as much as ten tons. It was the Japanese army who tried to ship these things away from Shanghai. The last stop was also one of Si Xuanyi's strategies, exaggerating at the right time was enough to lure these people.

All of a sudden, the black and white in Shanghai were completely shocked. Although there were rumors of one kind or another before, none of them were as accurate as this time. If you grab something back and keep it for yourself, you can also get a high return on information through the information provided by the Wei Juntong. For a while, the storm surged to the sea, and almost everyone's attention was successfully attracted.

"The first step is done..." Si Xuanyi is very satisfied with this situation. He just wants to muddy the water and make it difficult for the little devil to move forward. Of course, this may bring about another unavoidable consequence, that is, the little devil will send more The use of troops to protect these things increases the pressure on the little devils and also increases the difficulty for them to complete this task, but they can also judge where these things may be based on the deployment and deployment of the little devils' troops, which greatly increases The possibility of them finding these things.

"It's completely messed up." Zhou Xiaopeng said weakly, this is a mess that is so big that it is basically impossible to clean up.

"For us and the little devil, this is a chaotic situation, and winning in the chaos is our only chance." Si Xuanyi was quite calm, "No matter what the outcome is, the little devil should not easily transport these things out. "

The rest is the analysis, processing and sometimes judgment of a large amount of various information. Of course, this is not too difficult for them. After all, the military command is a huge national-level organization. There are also a considerable number of intelligence officers and secret agents who are fully capable of processing such complex information.

In the evening, they got a lot of new and new information. Judging from various signs, they finally analyzed the place where those things might exist. The Japanese army's barracks in the western suburbs, the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, and the station of the Mei Agency ...

"No matter where it is, it's not something we can knock on." Zhou Xiaopeng looked at these addresses and was at a loss.

"Under the current situation, you don't want to easily load these things on the ship. The wharf has already started to strike. If you want to load these things, you must put the entire wharf under martial law and dispatch a large number of troops. This is an accurate move. There is a good chance to find the location of those things. As for how to complete this task, we really have to think about it, but it is certain that there will be great difficulty, but it is better than we don't know the whereabouts of these things. .” Li Siming said.

"If the things have really been transported to the urban area, it will be very difficult for me to do it. The little devil can provide reinforcements at any time... This is basically an impossible task." Si Xuanyi said, "If the little devil is loading a warship , then we will..."

"Since you've muddied the water, you have to find a way out. I've got nothing to do now." Zhou Xiaopeng was completely unable to cope with the current situation.

"It's still the same sentence, first find out where the things are placed. The above places are only suspected, and there is no possibility of doing it. First, find out where the little devils keep the things. How do they plan? How to put them away? The things are transported away, we have to know these before proceeding to the next step." In fact, Si Xuanyi has no better way, and now he can only pin his hope on more detailed information, and then act according to the trend.

In fact, during this period, a big gangster has already started a thorough operation. The dock strike was controlled by them. Their primary purpose is to block these things first, so that the kid can't easily transport these things away. In short, the first task is to buy time, but they are also very clear that they will not be able to delay too much time in the face of the powerful little devil, but judging from all signs, the little devil is indeed a lot more cautious , and to some extent, they did.

Si Xuanyi and Zhou Xiaopeng visited the heads of the major gangs almost overnight to seek help from these people. Of course, these people are not profitable, and they gave all kinds of help almost under the permission of Zhou Xiaopeng Promised as a return for the help these gangsters gave, but they also knew very well that the gang would never cooperate honestly, and would definitely engage in small tricks secretly. After all, the temptation of these things is too great, although these people in name They are all loyal and express that they will put the national interest first, but driven by their interests, they will definitely deploy secretly to fish in troubled waters.

"According to the current situation, we can delay for one to two days at most. The little devil is likely to force the shipment during this period. The rest depends on whether we can find an opportunity during this period." Si Xuanyi actually took a step forward look at one step.

"It's completely messed up. There are too many people wanting to take a share in this chaos. These big gangs can at least give us some face on the surface. Don't dare to be too blatant. It's not so good with other people. Deal with it, both black and white have reached out their hands now, and they are all the kind of people who will never leave empty-handed, so our next action plan and plan will determine what kind of situation we will face in the end "Li Siming said, "In addition to these, the most important thing at present is intelligence work, use all the inside lines under your authority, and determine where these things exist at any cost. At the same time, we have to seek help from the upper levels. There's more opportunity to get more intelligence."

"The higher-ups are already very dissatisfied with our current performance." Zhou Xiaopeng said helplessly, "Do you think they will provide us with any help?"

Li Siming smiled: "Unless they don't want these things, unless they are willing to watch the little devil transport these things away, I think they will definitely not do this, and they will definitely not stand by."
