Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 291 Seeing an old friend again
The Manchukuo Navy patrol boats that transported food turned out to be obsolete old ships of the Japanese Navy. They were old coal-burning ships before the last World War.Usually, I only hang out in Lushun Yingkou and other places, and I have never been to places as far away as Shanghai.

After arriving in Shanghai this time, all the people below the captain's mate went to Shanghai in batches to play in this colorful world.

Qian Xiaobao's task of escorting food was over, and Tada Goro disembarked with two suitcases to sell the precious medicinal materials inside.

Qian Xiaobao called Zhang Wenyou and Zhao Quanfu over, and each of them gave 50 yuan and said: "It's hard to come to Shanghai, you two should go shopping, and it's not in vain to buy some gifts and go back to the Northeast. Remember, God You must come back before Hei, and you will sail back at night!"

"Old man, watch Erlu, don't go crazy and forget the time!" Qian Xiaobao told Zhao Quanfu.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qian Xiaobao also left the pier and walked towards the Bund.

Qian Xiaobao has already inquired, and most of the foreign banks are near the Bund.

There are hundreds of banks, large and small, located on the four-kilometer-long Shanghai Bund.

When Qian Xiaobao approached the Bund, his eyes were not enough.On one side is the river flowing eastward, and on the other side are tall and majestic Western buildings of all kinds.

Due to extraterritorial rights, many wealthy Chinese people hid in the Shanghai Concession to escape the war, which instead caused Shanghai's abnormal prosperity.

Qian Xiaobao, who was wearing a Japanese military uniform, was walking on the Bund, and everyone who passed by looked at him strangely.

After walking a few hundred meters, Qian Xiaobao walked past HSBC in the UK, Citigroup in the US, France, and Japan banks one by one.

Qian Xiaobao's eyes were almost blurred.

He turned his back to the Huangpu River and looked up at the Broadway Building in a daze.

At this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes approached Qian Xiaobao suspiciously, and he stared at Qian Xiaobao closely with eyes that he could not confirm.

Qian Xiaobao also shifted his gaze to that person, the more he looked at him, the more familiar he looked.

"Lin Zhengjiang!"

"You are Xiao Bao!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"Why are you here?"

The two asked at the same time again.

When Lin Zhengjiang left the northeast and went south more than a year ago, it was Qian Xiaobao and Guan Xiaoye who had sent him to Xinjing before getting off the train.

Guan Xiaoye told Qian Xiaobao that Lin Zhengjiang was in Shanghai before he left Manchukuo.

Qian Xiaobao looked around to see if there was no one there, and then said to Lin Zhengjiang: "When you were in the Northeast, you tried everything possible to leave the Northeast. Now that you have arrived in Shanghai, except for the place where your feet are big, the rest of the place is not Japanese?"

Seeing Qian Xiaobao thousands of miles away in Shanghai, Lin Zhengjiang was also very excited.

"That's not the same. When I was in Harbin, I was a waste like a walking dead. It's not the same now." Lin Zhengjiang replied with a smile.

Hearing Lin Zhengjiang's answer, Qian Xiaobao observed Lin Zhengjiang carefully, and felt that he was indeed much more mature than a year ago.

"You have been promoted, and you are now Chief Cao." Lin Zhengjiang looked at Qian Xiaobao and said.

When he left Harbin, Qian Xiaobao wasn't even a sergeant.

At that time, Lin Zhengjiang and Guan Xiaoye, who worked in Matsuura Corporation in Japan, spent all their time thinking about leaving Manchukuo ruled by the Japanese.

"I have made great contributions to the Empire of Japan! If there were 1 Qian Xiaobao in the Empire of Japan, the goal of the Empire of Japan would have been achieved long ago!" Qian Xiaobao joked.

Looking at Qian Xiaobao, Lin Zhengjiang felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Are you here to perform a mission in Shanghai this time?" Lin Zhengjiang asked.

"Yes! The Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army sent me to escort a batch of food to the Thirteenth Army." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Hearing Qian Xiaobao's answer, Lin Zhengjiang couldn't help showing a regretful expression on his face.

"Where is Brother Lin doing business now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I found a job at Standard Chartered Bank." Lin Zhengjiang pointed to a building in the distance.

Qian Xiaobao suddenly remembered the reason why he rushed to the Bund.

"Brother Lin, do you know where the Swiss Trust Bank is?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"You went wrong. The Swiss Trust Bank is not here on Fukaisen Road. If you want to find out when you are running around like a headless fly, I'll take you there." Lin Zhengjiang said.

He reached out and beckoned a rickshaw to pull Qian Xiaobao into the car.

"Fukaisen Road," Lin Zhengjiang said.

The driver pulled up the rickshaw and ran away.

"There are so many banks, why do you have to go to Swiss Trust Bank?" Lin Zhengjiang asked.

"The house I used to live in belonged to Mr. Savish, a Jewish old man. When he was about to die, he gave me a piece of paper with a code and a key. I wanted to go to that bank." Qian Xiaobao replied .

Lin Zhengjiang also knew about Qian Xiaobao living in a Jewish old man's house in Harbin.

"That should be the password and key of the safe, but the old man Savish is from Germany, and the safe he opened should be in the head office in Switzerland. You can't get the contents of the safe here." Lin Zhengjiang said.

Of course Qian Xiaobao knew this too.Schulz told him that Switzerland is a permanent neutral country and that Swiss banks are the safest in the world.

The purpose of Qian Xiaobao looking for Swisstrust Bank is to open a safe in the bank like the old man Savish did.

Depending on the situation, there should be opportunities to come to Shanghai in the future, and some things are best transferred to Shanghai in the future.

"Stop!" Lin Zhengjiang shouted.

The rickshaw stopped in front of a modest three-story building.

"This is it." Lin Zhengjiang said.

The two got out of the rickshaw, and Lin Zhengjiang walked into the Swiss Trust Bank with Qian Xiaobao.

Everyone in the bank looked up at a Japanese soldier walking into the bank.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?"

The bank staff asked Lin Zhengjiang politely.

Lin Zhengjiang turned his head to look at Qian Xiaobao.

"I want to open a safe here." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Sir, what size safe do you want to open?" the clerk asked.

Qian Xiaobao thought for a while and gestured with his hand: "It's so big!"

Everyone in the bank, including Lin Zhengjiang, was stunned.

Most of the safes in banks are like drawers, or even smaller than drawers.But judging by the way Qian Xiaobao gestured, it was as big as a meter square!

How many valuable things must be put in it!
Hundreds of rich people have fled to Shanghai for refuge in the past two years, but there are very few people who can rent such a large safe.

Lin Zhengjiang felt that Qian Xiaobao was making blind gestures.

"Little Treasure, do you know how much it costs to rent such a big safe for a year? Do you want to put a mountain of gold in it?" Lin Zhengjiang asked jokingly.

Qian Xiaobao also felt that he was too ostentatious.

"I didn't count the gestures just now. It's enough to have half the size of the safe just now. It can't be smaller!" Qian Xiaobao said.
