Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 384 A Serious Man II

Manchukuo produces about 2000 million tons of grain every year, and 1000 million tons of it has to be transferred out of Manchukuo.

The occupation of the Northeast by the Japanese is equivalent to owning a large granary.

Grain collection began in mid-August and continued until November, and this period was the busiest time for trains going south.

Three days after the grain was loaded onto the train, Qian Xiaobao and Taro Hemoto rushed to Yingkou.But they waited in Yingkou for another two days before the train loaded with grain arrived.

It took a day to load [-] tons of grain onto three training boats of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force and set sail for Shanghai immediately.

The Neptune is the largest ship in the maritime police force, with a displacement of only [-] tons, and the other two ships are only [-] to [-] tons.

In order to ensure the transportation of weapons and ammunition this time, all things that can reduce weight have been removed.

"It will take at least one more day to get to Shanghai this time." Captain Morinaga said.

"There are still two batches of grain waiting to be delivered, and we will all be at sea in the next half a month." Qian Xiaobao replied with a smile.

Captain Sen Yong has carried out food transportation missions with Qian Xiaobao two or three times, but the previous few times he would never talk to Qian Xiaobao unless necessary.

There is no other reason than the superiority of naval officers from Etajima.

However, under the attack of Qian Xiaobao's sugar-coated shells, he now smiled at Qian Xiaobao.

"After arriving in Shanghai, Captain Senyong can also visit the shore. There are many places to play on the beach." Qian Xiaobao said.

Captain Mori Yong looked at Qian Xiaobao with a smile on his face.

"Dance halls, bars, nightclubs, rumba, cha-cha and waltz!" Qian Xiaobao bewitched.

Qian Xiaobao had never had contact with people from the Japanese navy, but he learned a lot about the Japanese navy from the scolding of the officers in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

For example, those who scold the Navy are a group of Western dogs with yellow faces!
Since it is a Western dog, it must like bars and nightclubs, and it should also be able to dance rumba and waltz.

Sure enough, after hearing Qian Xiaobao's words, the smile on Captain Sen Yong's face became wider.

The location of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force is in Yingkou, and Sen Yong has no access to such things as bars and nightclubs. Hearing what Qian Xiaobao said, his insides itch.

"It takes a long time to unload [-] tons of grain, and it will take even longer to refuel and water for maintenance. It doesn't matter if you play for a day! Anyway, you can't do anything else except sleep on the way back." Qian Xiaobao continued.

Sen Yong was thoroughly persuaded, but he didn't answer, but nodded at Qian Xiaobao reservedly, then turned and left.

"This awesome guy! I can guarantee that when he arrives in Shanghai, he will sneak off to have a good time! What a fool, he must be a wolf beating a wolf in Jiangtian Island, or he will be sent to the maritime police force." Qian Xiao Bao cursed in Chinese.

Taro Kawamoto nodded aside.He is a fellow countryman of Kwantung Army Intelligence Minister Ono Dakuan. Due to his weak health, Ono Dakuan introduced him to Qian Xiaobao to find a bowl of food.

Now he is willing to serve as Qian Xiaobao's little follower.

"The wind is too strong, let's go back. The delicious food we brought is enough for us to eat for four or five days." Qian Xiaobao said to Taro Hemoto.

It took five days for the three boats to arrive at Huangpu Wharf.However, there are four cargo ships from Yokohama, Japan, unloading at the Huangpu Wharf.

Four ships docked at the pier like giants, and thousands of dock workers were busy on and off the ship like ants.

The ships of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force were responsible for the transportation, and it was time for Qian Xiaobao to come forward.

Captain Mori Yong ordered to put down a boat carrying Qian Xiaobao, and two soldiers rowed the boat to the pier.

The boat rowed several hundred meters to the shore, and Qian Xiaobao climbed onto the pier.

Qian Xiaobao walked to a group of Japanese soldiers who were monitoring the unloading of the wharf where two cargo ships were unloading a few hundred meters away.

Looking at the black collar badges, Qian Xiaobao knew that these people should be military police.

Qian Xiaobao walked up to the lieutenant who had the highest military rank in the group and saluted.

"I was ordered by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army to deliver grain to Shanghai. When can we unload the grain?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"There are shipwrecks in the Yangtze River. Ships with too large a tonnage can only be unloaded in Shanghai. It will take four days for the four ships to be unloaded. You can only wait on the Huangpu River." The lieutenant replied after returning the salute.

After getting an accurate answer, Qian Xiaobao hurried back to the boat, and the two soldiers rowed to the Neptune in the distance.

"It will take four days for the four big ships ahead to be unloaded, and we have to wait for four days outside the pier." Qian Xiaobao said to Captain Sen Yong.

"The supplies on the ship are not enough to support four days." Sen Yong said.

What he meant was obvious, Qian Xiaobao should figure out a way to supply the extra four days.

"When we came here, the number of people on these three boats has been reduced to the minimum, a total of seven to eighty people. I will send food and water to the shore every day, and you can just use the boat to transport them to the boat." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"I'm going to the shore now to contact you about purchasing food for you, and try to deliver the food and water to the shore tomorrow morning. Captain Sen Yong must send someone to observe on the boat and send someone to row the boat in time." Xiao Qian Bao said.

The grown-up Sen Yong took a meaningful look at Qian Xiaobao. This kid obviously wanted to go to Shanghai Beach to have fun, but he just said the reason so aboveboard.

"Send them to the shore!" Mori Yong ordered.

Qian Xiaobao went back to the cabin to pack up his things, took his suitcase and Taro Hemoto walked to the side of the boat, jumped into the boat and moved to the shore again.

Going ashore and walking out of Huangpu Wharf, Qian Xiaobao hired a rickshaw and boarded with Taro Kawamoto.

"Licha Hotel!" Qian Xiaobao said.

The coachman trotted all the way for 10 minutes and pulled the two of them to the front of a six-story building.

Taro Kawamoto looked up at the arc-shaped arched windows and rows of fancy columns after getting off the car. Cars drove in and out from time to time. He asked in surprise, "Are we going to live here tonight?"

"When I first came to Shanghai, I lived here with Chief Dotake Yamaoka. It was so comfortable. But the next day, someone was shot in front of the hotel. But it doesn't matter, the two of us live here these days Here! Don't talk nonsense when you go back!" Qian Xiaobao warned.

Qian Xiaobao tidied up his military uniform and walked towards the hotel gate with his suitcase in his hands.

Kawamoto Taro followed closely.

A waiter standing at the door trotted over to help Qian Xiaobao carry his suitcase, but he pushed it away.This suitcase weighs about ten pounds, and he will never let others touch it.

Walking to the front desk, Qian Xiaobao put down the suitcase and said in Japanese: "I want a double room. Remember, arrange a room for me with a view of the Huangpu River!"
