MTL - Bourne: Command and Conquer-Chapter 816 , little surprise
Chapter 816, a little surprise
Zhang Yong came to Italy Street.
Bring people and guns. But I didn't bring any money.
You have to remember, that’s one hundred thousand dollars! Dollar! Dollar! Say important things three times.
If Tanavaro is a liar, the loss will be great.
Although he will not die. But he will vomit blood.
You can lie to my feelings. Lie to my body. But you can't cheat my money...
Italian Street is still so messy. There are guns everywhere.
I don’t know whether the laws of the concession are of any use here. It feels mostly useless.
Someone whistled at Zhang Yong. Don't understand what it means.
He doesn’t look like a pretty boy either!
“Oh. There is no need for you to worry.”
It is impossible for him to go to Italy to arrest people.
Therefore, it is impossible for Madam to pay this deposit. As the talker behind the Air Force, she couldn't be so hasty.
As a result, in just three years, more than 2,700 10,000-ton freewheelers were built.
Ocean-going freighters at that time generally had this displacement. There are also huge ships of 10,000 tons. But not many.
It was later that World War II broke out and the beautiful country needed a large number of cargo ships to transport strategic materials to all parts of the world, so they frantically built the 10,000-ton Liberty Ship.
Zhang Yong nodded.
Get in the car with Tanavaro. Go to the Concession Pier.
Little surprise? What surprise? Any surprises?
At this moment, anchored in the unloading dock is a cargo ship flying the Italian flag. Preliminary judgment is that the displacement is about 3,000 tons.
Zhang Yong immediately began to worry.
"I got the money." Zhang Yong said straight to the point, "A deposit of US$100,000."
“Tanavaro!”
"Really. I can pay you now. Please ask Markey's financial staff to come and receive it."
Arrived at the destination quickly. It was discovered that the previous cargo ship had left the port. He ran very fast.
Finally, after two basins of cold water were poured down, Tanavaro woke up.
“Crash…”
Huge group of hungry guys...
result…
“Tanavaro!”
almost. This is also the peak state of American manufacturing. In 2024, the US imperial capital may not be able to be so terrifying.
“Crash…”
“Why?”
“What finance?”
“I can’t give you one hundred thousand dollars. Then you take the dollars and run away!”
With great difficulty, I finally found my target at the bar at the end.
Looking for a bar, I didn’t see it…
"Um?"
“Let me give you a little surprise.”
Zhang Yong is very strange.
This is in addition to building a large number of aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, etc. This shows the terror-creating ability of American imperialism.
It can only be done by Zhang Yong himself. You have to bear the loss yourself.
Before, when I didn’t raise 100,000 US dollars, I didn’t worry about gains and losses.
“Take me to the dock.”
This guy seems to be able to switch freely between drunk and sober. It's time to be a real pig when you're drunk. But I woke up very energetic.
However, now that I am holding one hundred thousand dollars in my hand and seeing Tanavaro lying on the ground, sleeping soundly and unconscious, I am really worried!
What if this guy goes back with $100,000 and is never heard from again...
Looking for the second bar, but still didn’t see it…
“Really?” Tanavaro opened his eyes wide.
Learned it during previous exchanges. That's what he said.
Zhang Yong called in Italian.
"good."
There are dense weapons markings on the Italian freighter. Apparently carrying munitions.
“It just landed this morning.”
“What’s there?”
“Fifteen million rounds of ammunition. And five thousand rifles.”
“Five thousand rifles?”
"Yes. This is my little surprise for you."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong was not surprised.
Five thousand rifles? He doesn't need it! Especially the bolt action ones.
It would be fine if it was 7.92mm, but if not...
As a result, after boarding the freighter, Zhang Yong saw the cargo list. Suddenly my head felt heavy.
Bullets, 15 million rounds, all 7.92*57 mm. This is correct. It's a standard Mauser round. The national army is in great need.
But five thousand rifles would be weird. It is actually a bolt-action rifle with a caliber of 7.7 mm. But not Ying Qiqi. To be precise, it is a 7.7mm caliber modified from the Type 38 rifle.
and…
There is no matching bullet!
There is only a Type 38 rifle with a caliber of 7.7 mm, but no 7.7 mm bullets!
It’s funny…
Normal Type 38 rifle uses 6.5mm bullets.
You should change the caliber to 7.7 mm. But there are no matching bullets produced. You can't use Ying Qiqi's bullets...
Isn’t this a fire stick?
There are no matching bullets, what are they used for? Bayonet?
Not to mention, it seems good to fight with a bayonet. The length of this monster rifle is exactly the same as the Type 38.
“So, where are the bullets?”
"No."
“What do you need a gun for if you don’t have bullets?”
“Let me tell you this. In fact, the Japanese don’t want this batch of goods.”
"Why?"
"At the beginning, the Japanese Navy asked us to help them produce Type 38 rifles to equip the Marine Corps. But they did not want to use the Army's caliber. So they changed it to 7.7 mm. But there was no mention of bullets. We didn't ask either. We thought they They asked other countries to help produce bullets. This was normal. So they changed it directly."
"Then what?"
"Who would have known that after we produced 5,000 pieces, the Japanese Navy responded and asked us to match the bullets. But the bullets were wrong!"
“Isn’t it using British 7.7mm bullets?”
“The length of the magazine is wrong. It was directly modified from the 6.5 Type 38. The magazine was not redesigned. It cannot be loaded with British 7.7mm bullets.”
"Well…"
"We want to increase money. And it's a lot of money. Because we need to develop new bullets. The Japanese didn't agree. So there was a stalemate. In the end, nothing happened. The guns were produced. The bullets were not. The Japanese didn't want these guns either. .So they have been kept in our warehouse. This time, I moved them all here.”
"Well…"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
But trust Tanavaro’s explanation.
Because only the Japanese can be so contradictory. Make such a weirdo.
Hate not to use the same caliber as the Army Red Deer. So change! But unexpectedly, the bullets did not match. And it’s difficult to match. The result is tragic.
It is estimated that the Japanese navy has not realized that the production of bullets is more difficult than that of firearms.
Especially the development of a new bullet. It is dozens of times more difficult than researching a new firearm.
“Then what do you do for me?”
“What if you need it sometime?”
“How to use it without bullets?”
“You have to figure this out yourself. There will always be a way.”
"These five thousand rifles are not worth a hundred thousand dollars. Not even a mortgage."
“Of course, such a small surprise is not enough. There are still surprises behind.”
“Can you finish it all at once? How many surprises are there? Is it really a surprise?”
“Absolutely a real surprise! Please take a look…”
Tanavaro pretends to be sophisticated.
Then he took Zhang Yong down to the bottom cabin.
“Please see…”
"ah…"
Zhang Yong was immediately stunned.
Lots of Italian guns!
So many!
So many!
There are dozens of doors!
At a glance. Calculate the approximate quantity immediately. Fifty doors?
right!
Fifty Italian cannon!
That is, a field gun with a caliber of 75 mm. Imitation.
Go up.
Caress carefully. Check the quality.
Although it is an imitation. But the quality is really good.
Poor, Li Yunlong can’t find an Italian gun shop even if he wants one. But there are fifty doors here.
“How many shells are attached?”
"No."
“What can we do without shells?”
“Cannonballs, buy them separately. The price is cheap. Guaranteed to be cheaper than the Czechs.”
"you…"
Li Yunlong was convinced.
He is Italian after all! sharp!
If anyone says that Italians are not good at doing business, Zhang Yong will tear his mouth apart.
This is totally the way to sell printers in later generations!
Printers don’t make money. But cartridges make money.
It's almost like giving you five thousand rifles for free. But there are no bullets. You need to order specialized bullets.
Then I'll sell you fifty Italian cannons cheaply. But there were no shells. You also have to buy additional shells.
It is said to be cheap. It certainly won't be much cheaper in the end.
Of course, Tanavaro said it would definitely be cheaper than the Germans and Czechs, which is true.
Routine.
It’s all a routine!
However, it has been confirmed from the side that Tanavaro did not intend to defraud money.
The other party just wants to maximize interests. But I didn’t expect to cheat directly. Otherwise, there is no need to go to such trouble.
“Cargo ships cannot unload cargo at the concession pier.” Zhang Yong said slowly.
"Of course. I just want you to take a look at the samples here. Then the freighter will continue to Wusongkou Terminal and finally unload the goods there," Tanavaro said.
“That’s okay.” Zhang Yong nodded.
Tanavarro immediately arranged for the cargo ship to set sail. Go to Wusongkou Pier.
The ship's speed is relatively slow. Even though the two docks were not far apart, it took more than an hour to get them back in place.
Arrived ashore again.
Zhang Yong suddenly discovered that Wusongkou Pier was still under martial law.
I remembered. Wusongkou Pier is controlled by myself. He never ordered the lifting of martial law. No one dared to order the lifting of martial law.
So…
It has been blocked until now.
Good guy, it turns out that I am quite a big shot!
Go ashore.
“Team Leader Zhang.”
“Team Leader Zhang.”
The first one to come up and say hello. It's Yuan Zheng.
He finally returned to Wusongkou Pier. certainly. This is the arrangement of the garrison headquarters.
The second greeting is to greet the guests.
He could not leave the dock without Zhang Yong's approval. Restricted to death.
"roll!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand impatiently towards the guests.
I don’t want to see this guy.
This guy can't accomplish anything big. You can't even assassinate him.
Since Yuan Zheng is back. Then continue to be the captain of the inspection team.
“Team Leader Zhang…”
“Captain Yuan. Welcome back.”
“They are all Team Leader Zhang…”
“Don’t say any polite words yet, I’m going to make a phone call.”
“Please, please!”
Yuan Zheng hurriedly led the way.
Soon, Zhang Yong came to the duty room of the inspection team. Start making phone calls skillfully.
The phone call was of course to the Songhu Garrison Headquarters.
Such a large number of weapons and ammunition, if they are to be disembarked at Wusongkou, must fall under the jurisdiction of the Songhu Garrison Command.
5000 rifles…
15 million rounds of ammunition…
50 Italian guns…
This ship full of munitions is already very good in Zhang Yong's opinion.
Especially for the national army at that time, the replenishment of ammunition was very necessary.
The issue is…
How should it be reported?
Report it directly, it’s too trouble-free.
It seems that he has no merit.
It must be very thrilling, very difficult, very hard...
Then I thought of Yang Lichu.
There is something good, it seems that I should report it to my wife first.
Waiting for the lady to finish picking. The rest is given to others.
right.
The order is this.
Make no mistake. this point is very important.
Immediately call back to Longhua Airport to find Yang Lichu. The result was found quickly.
“What’s the good news?”
“A little surprise.”
“Say it.”
“I met an Italian cargo ship at Wusongkou Pier, which was full of arms…”
“What’s there?”
“Five thousand rifles. Fifteen million rounds of ammunition. And fifty 75mm field guns.”
"so much?"
“Yes. The Italians want to sell this batch of arms at a low price.”
“Then I’ll report it!”
"good."
Zhang Yong knew that the matter was done.
Yang Lichu is a sounding board. She will get the message out.
Whether you want it or not, and how you want it, is a decision made by the top management. Absolutely, definitely, the appointment is definitely required.
The foreigners took the initiative to send arms to our door! How could you not?
However, the specific trade negotiations have nothing to do with Zhang Yong. He'd better go catch the spies...
Suddenly, a yellow dot appeared on the edge of the map. There are a lot of white dots with weapons markings around them.
There is no red dot. Just white spots.
It means it is not Yan Guangkun’s group. But other red molecules.
He hurriedly walked to the top of the watchtower, climbed onto the roof, and observed the entire port from a high position. Then I found out it was Xiao Guo.
He is the young underground party member who works in Huichuntang Pharmacy.
He was indeed arrested. He was also brought out, probably to identify other red molecules. Or lay a trap and wait for other red elements to take the bait.
Zhang Yong also knows the operations after capturing the target by heart.
Continue to observe. I found that Xiao Guo was surrounded by spies. There are seven in total. All wearing shell guns.
However, they are not all spies. More than two hundred meters away, there was a group of agents following him. There are more than thirty of them.
It can be seen that the agents behind are the real main force.
The purpose of bringing Xiao Guo out was to kill or capture more red elements alive.
what to do?
With…
Zhang Yong immediately arranged the operation.
When people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department came to the entrance of Wusongkou Pier...
Yuan Zheng, the inspection captain who was reinstated as an official, came out and asked them to temporarily hand over all weapons. To ensure safety.
The agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department certainly refused. There was a push and shove between the two sides.
There are many people in the inspection team. The seven agents are no match.
During the pushing and shoving, Xiao Guo was suddenly separated by a wall of people. Then he was quickly taken away.
Waiting for people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department to discover something was wrong. Xiao Guo has disappeared. Anxious, they subconsciously drew their guns.
The agents who came up behind to support him were also anxious. Captain Feng Jiliang also ran up in a hurry. Then he saw Zhang Yong in the inspection team's office.
“It’s over…”
“Zhang Yong is actually here…”
