Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2904 Packaging is complete, just waiting to be shipped!
Duanwu and Zhao Laonian hurried back to the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base. Along the way, Duanwu frowned, thinking about tomorrow’s transaction.

When he arrived at the base, he didn't rest for a moment, but went straight to the warehouse with Zhao Laonian and Tang Jiujiu.

The warehouse was filled with various supplies, many of which were antiques that had been seized previously.

Duanwu stood at the door, glanced at the antiques, took a deep breath, and said, "Lao Zhao, Jiujiu, we have to pack these antiques quickly. Tomorrow's transaction is crucial, and nothing can go wrong."

Zhao Laonian nodded and replied, "Yes, Captain!"

Tang Jiujiu had already started looking for boxes. Tang Jiujiu had always been in charge of the logistics of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, and this warehouse was naturally under her management.

Last time, Duanwu and Zhao Laonian suddenly decided to take antiques to the black market to sell them, which took Tang Jiujiu a whole day to check before they could reconcile the accounts.

So this time, Duanwu didn't dare to act on his own and called Tang Jiujiu over. They packed the items one by one, and after finding a few boxes, Tang Jiujiu began to record on a broken table.

At this time, Duanwu was walking to a wooden box, picking up a blue and white porcelain vase from it and examining it carefully, then handed it to Zhao Laonian and asked, "Is this blue and white porcelain vase valuable?"

Zhao Laonian also looked at it for a while and said, "Captain, this is Yuan blue and white porcelain, and it is from the official kiln. It is very valuable."

Duanwu nodded and said, "Old Zhao, pick out the valuable antiques and pack them separately. These are the key to our transaction this time, so you must be careful and not damage them in the slightest."

Zhao Laonian said quickly: "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely choose carefully."

As he spoke, he began to carefully identify the antiques in the pile. Relying on his years of experience, he picked out the more valuable antiques one by one and placed them aside carefully.

Duanwu picked up a seemingly ordinary pottery jar, took a look at it, and handed it to Tang Jiujiu, saying, "Jiujiu, take these things that don't look very valuable with you. What if we mistake them for treasures?"

Tang Jiujiu took the pottery jar, looked at it and said, "Soldier, then tell me, can the black sister deceive us?"

Duanwu shook his head and said, "No, I am very good at judging people. Black Widow and the old man have loyalty in their hearts and know that all this money is used to fight the Japanese. They are not so cruel. And this time, it can be said that they helped us. If it weren't for them, it would be very difficult for us to sell this batch of antiques. So even if we suffer a little loss, we are not afraid!"

Tang Jiujiu nodded, thinking that Duanwu was right.

However, at this moment, Zhao Laonian picked up a porcelain bowl, looked at it carefully, hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, this seems to be a fake."

Duanwu took the porcelain bowl and examined it carefully, but couldn't make out anything.

All I can say is: "Let's pack the ones you think are fakes separately. We can't fool people with fakes. Black Widow dared to take the risk to cooperate with us in this deal, so we have to be honest and not cheat her. And we can let Black Widow take a look. If it turns out to be authentic, we can make more money. And if it is really a fake, we can give it to Black Widow."

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhao Laonian responded and continued to work. Duanwu helped from the side, and from time to time reminded him: "Lao Zhao, when packing these antiques, be sure to use soft cloth to pad them to prevent collisions. If they are damaged, we can sell them for a good price."

"En!"

Zhao Laonian nodded repeatedly, then looked around for rags, straw or something similar to fill it.

At this time, Tang Jiujiu said while packing: "Soldier, if this deal goes through, will our Anti-Japanese Brigade's funding problem be solved? Then we can buy some weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, and we won't be afraid of the Japanese Second Division, right?" Duanwu shook his head and said, "We may not be able to buy weapons and equipment from Markov. Markov's superior, General Bazarov, seems to be under investigation. We have to wait for news. However, there is good news. Our arsenal can produce about 60 Type assault rifles per day. As long as we are given enough time, the Anti-Japanese Brigade can at least be self-sufficient in submachine guns."

"That's great!"

Tang Jiujiu had a look of joy on her face.

Of course, she didn't know that, with the current output of the arsenal, it would be good enough to equip the new black-clad troops trained by Sixth Brother in ten days. The Anti-Japanese Brigade still had a large gap in weapons and equipment.

Of course, if you use the Japanese equipment, that’s a different matter.

But if the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Brigade used Japanese equipment, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

So Duanwu only reported good news and not bad news, and did not tell Tang Jiujiu the actual situation to avoid worrying her.

Soon, with the joint efforts of the three, the antiques were quickly packed up and classified, waiting to be traded with Black Widow tomorrow.

···········
At the same time, in the black market of Spring City, Black Widow is also actively preparing.

Originally, she planned to carry 100,000 yuan directly, but the old man said that so many boxes would be too ostentatious.

So in recent days, Black Widow has been busy exchanging dollars for gold bars so that they can be carried more conveniently.

But at the same time, the people she sent out also discovered traces of the Black Dragon Society's spies.

Although the Black Dragon Society withdrew a large number of spies on the surface, they were actually loose on the outside but tight on the inside and had been sending people to keep an eye on them.

After receiving the news, Black Widow hurried to discuss with the old man. The Black Dragon Society was watching them so closely, how could they trade with the Anti-Japanese Brigade?

Black Widow hurried to the secret room at the bottom of the air-raid shelter where the old man was.

As soon as she entered the room, she said anxiously, "Old man, something big has happened! The people we sent out found that the Black Dragon Society spies have been secretly watching us. How can this transaction proceed?"

The old man was sitting on a large armchair covered with tiger skin, sipping tea leisurely.

When he heard what Black Widow said, his brows slightly furrowed, he gently put down the teacup, and slowly said: "Don't panic, sit down and talk slowly."

Black Widow sat down on the first chair on the right side of the old man. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said, "I originally wanted to change the dollars into gold bars for easy carrying, but I didn't expect that the Black Dragon Society has not relaxed its surveillance on us. On the surface, they withdrew the spies who monitored the black market, but in fact they are secretly watching our every move. If we rashly go to trade with the Anti-Japanese Brigade, they will definitely find out. If they clash with the Anti-Japanese Brigade at that time, it will be difficult for us to deal with it!"

The old man stood up, paced back and forth, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The Black Dragon Society is a scabby dog ​​that will bite to death if it smells blood. If we don't get rid of them, it will be difficult to complete the transaction with the Anti-Japanese Brigade!"

Black Widow nodded and said, "I thought so too, but the Black Dragon Society is watching us so closely, we can't find any chance at all. How about we change the transaction location?"

The old man stopped and shook his head, saying, "Changing the location is not safe either. Since the Black Dragon Society is watching us, they may follow us no matter where we move to. Moreover, the Anti-Japanese Brigade may not be able to get the news in time, which will only cause more trouble!"
