Anti war ranger

Chapter 39
The concession area shrouded in darkness was extraordinarily lively, but Lu Yuan had no time to appreciate the excitement. After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan slept all afternoon until he was woken up by the butler, Uncle Fu, at dinner time.After a hasty dinner, Lu Yuan hurried to the Rose Bar, eager to know what news Hansen would bring to him.As usual, after the night appeared, the Rose Bar was full of drinkers of all kinds. After greeting a few acquainted drinkers one by one, Lu Yuan quietly went to Hansen's office in the bar under Hansen's signal. .

"Lu, as I said, I don't want a commission for this business. So, please take the money back, I won't accept it." Pushing the gold bars and the ocean on the table back to Lu Yuan, Han Sen showed his persistence.Lu Yuan had no choice but to put the gold bars and oceans on the table back into his purse. Since Hansen refused to agree to these gold bars and oceans, he might use them to help the civilians in Nanjing.

After Lu Yuan put all the gold bars and oceans on the table into his leather bag, Hansen took out the weapon blueprints that Lu Yuan had brought earlier, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Lu, I want to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I showed the consul the blueprints of the weapons you sent. I want to say that the things you brought are very important and valuable, but obviously our consul does not have the same vision as me, so , the help you want, the German consul cannot promise."

Watching Hansen push those weapon blueprints over little by little, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Hansen, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me, just like what you said just now, it's not that my blueprints are not value, but your consul does not have the same vision as you. I don’t feel bad about this, I just feel that your military may have lost an opportunity to learn more about the infantry equipment of other Western countries.”

Lu Yuan's words sounded a bit high-sounding, but Hansen followed him. As soon as Lu Yuan's voice fell, Hansen snatched back the weapon blueprint on the table. "No, I can't just give up so easily. Maybe I can take them to Nanjing for a try. I heard that the imperial military sent a secret envoy to Nanjing to have talks with your Generalissimo Chiang. I can try to let the imperial People from the military look at these weapon blueprints, and perhaps the military’s opinion can change the decision made by Mr. Consul.”

The change in Hansen's attitude was actually not beyond Lu Yuan's expectations. When Hansen pushed back the weapon blueprints just now, Lu Yuan had already seen the reluctance of the other party from Hansen's expression, so Lu Yuan said The high-sounding words just now came.Fortunately, Lu Yuan's judgment was not wrong, and Hansen, who has always been as cunning as a fox, also willingly fell into the trap. Since Hansen said that he would bring these weapon blueprints to Nanjing to lobby the military, Lu Yuan planned to wait and see. It's getting better.

"Since this is the case, Mr. Hansen, when you go to Nanjing, please take Schuchman and the others with you. I mean, if your efforts in Nanjing can make your country's consul change his mind, Schuchman and the others It’s better to be able to prepare in advance, which is better than being in a hurry.” Lu Yuan didn’t give Hansen any leeway or a chance to retort, and with a few words, he pulled Hansen into his own boat.

"Hogg, here are gold bars and oceans worth 3 US dollars, plus the US dollars I gave you last time, this money is enough for you to build a camp in Nanjing that can accommodate 2 refugees." Tong Hansen After the meeting, Lu Yuan called Hogg and Schuchman, who had been waiting for news, to his residence, and handed over half of his gains this time to Hogg. "Tomorrow, Hogg will go to Nanjing with Mr. Hansen first. Once Hansen convinces the German consul, Schuchmann, you will take the people you recruited to Nanjing to join Hogg."

"You don't need to pay attention to why the German consulate wants to help us, but you have to remember that after you arrive in Nanjing, you must use the German consulate to get in touch. At that time, the German consulate will provide you with a batch of military uniforms and weapons, and you have to do Yes, there are a large number of rented houses in the area of ​​Xiaofen Bridge on Guangzhou Road in NJ City. It is best that these houses can be connected together. I want you to find a way to rent houses on the road without attracting attention. Dig storage rooms and tunnels, and hoard a large amount of food and medicine in pieces."

"Then we may need to hire more people, maybe we also need doctors and nurses, or even plumbers and electricians." The content that Lu Yuan entrusted to Hogg and the two was so huge and weird that Shu He Man talked to himself.

"That's right, maybe we need to continue to hire more people. As I said, as long as you think there are foreigners in China who have no problem with their morals, I am willing to hire them." Schuchman didn't know what he said to himself. He reminded Lu Yuan that if the scope of employment is extended to all foreigners in China, Schuchman's headache will no longer be a problem.Under the advice of Hogg and Schuchman, Lu Yuan's plan was repeatedly overturned and revised, and the original plan to hire 30 people was also revised to employ 200 people.

"Okay, let me calm down first, I feel like I'm declaring bankruptcy." Looking at the number of people Hogg planned to hire, Lu Yuan's expression was very ugly at this time.The monthly salary is 300 US dollars, which is 1800 US dollars for half a year, and the employment scale of 200 people is only the remuneration of these 200 people for half a year, and Lu Yuan will have to pay 36 US dollars.Lu Yuan really couldn't think of where he could get hundreds of thousands of dollars, not to mention that it was just staff salaries, and the establishment of the refugee camp would cost more money.

"Well, maybe I can do it." After calming down for a while, Lu Yuan's ugly face gradually returned to calm. "You don't need to worry about the money. You just need to complete the preparations according to my plan. I promise, I will solve the funding gap within a week." Lu Yuan has already made a decision in his heart. It's just that he can't tell Schuchman and Hogg yet.

Lu Yuan, who had been tossing and turning all night, got up very early. Usually at this time, he would go back to the backyard for some endurance training, but today he has been spinning around in the hall, and his eyes will fall on the phone from time to time.Although he only met Hansen last night, one night later, Lu Yuan was even more looking forward to the good news that Hansen would bring him today.However, Lu Yuan's expectation was obviously in vain. Until noon, the call that Lu Yuan was expecting still did not come.

"Well, I'm too impatient, maybe I should do something else." Lu Yuan couldn't explain too much to Fu Bo, the housekeeper, so he had to leave the residence according to the plan he had made before, and he was going to find Xu Huanshan talk about it.Xu Huanshan's underground party has been operating in Shanghai for many years, and they should be much more familiar with Shanghai than himself. Lu Yuan believes that the funding gap on Hogg's side may fall on Xu Huanshan and his underground party.

Seeing Lu Yuan again, although Xu Huanshan was still dressed as a rickshaw driver, his conversation with Lu Yuan was less vigilant and more familiar. "Old Xu, I need money very much these days. Your underground party has been operating in Shanghai for many years, and you should be regarded as a local snake on the beach. Is there any way to get money? Show me the way." Lu Yuan said After saying these words, Xu Huanshan, who was pulling the cart in front, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Silently turned around and stared at Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan turned his head and continued to pull the cart, but said in a low voice, "I said you fell into the eyes of money, you kid, you kid But I didn’t forget to put some money in my pocket. Especially yesterday at Shuixi Bridge, we alone received enough funds for our whole year’s activities, you kid is alone in Shanghai, what do you need so much money for?”

Lu Yuan's angry answer to Xu Huanshan just pouted his lips in disdain, then kicked the pedal of the rickshaw, and also lowered his voice and smiled at Xu Huanshan, "Why do you care what I want so much money for? I'll ask you, you underground The Party has been in Shanghai for so many years, doesn’t it mean that it doesn’t know where the corrupt officials live? I won’t ask you for information in vain. After the matter is done, according to the black market practice, no matter how much I get, I will give you [-]% remuneration."

Seeing that Xu Huanshan didn't answer himself right away, Lu Yuan continued, "Old Xu, don't you believe me until now? Besides, I just want some information from you, and I don't want you to do anything harmful or Weihai. Organizational matters. Think about it, if your activity funds are more generous, can you buy better equipment for your own people, improve living conditions, or use the money you get to buy some supplies that your base camp needs. Old Xu, if you think about it carefully, I am helping you."

Xu Huanshan was indeed a little moved by Lu Yuan's words, but he didn't reply to Lu Yuan immediately, but said that he would go back and discuss it before making a decision.Lu Yuan didn't continue to persecute Xu Huanshan, and he also knew the truth that it was too late. He sat in Xu Huanshan's rickshaw and wandered aimlessly in the concession for a long time, until he saw the White Russian bakery on the street, and Lu Yuan let him go. Xu Huanshan, who was already sweating profusely, left angrily.

Lu Yuan actually knew that he couldn't pin all his hopes on the underground party in Shanghai, but he couldn't think of any other way now, not to mention that Lu Yuan was only targeting those upper-class people with huge wealth who secretly colluded with the Japanese. With the intelligence support from the Shanghai underground party, Hogg's funding gap is no longer a problem.
