The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 183

With a slightly soft cold drink, a person walked in, but it was Zhang Yaozu, a former pedicure man in the Shanghai Concession, and now the leader of the second intelligence team, who had just sneaked back from Tianjin to report the progress a few days ago.

At this time, Zhang Yaozu completely lost the stupid and naive attitude he had in last year's trials. Although he still couldn't change his natural ugly appearance, there was a lot of shrewdness and cunning in his eyes. The various training and actual combat for more than a year made him completely shake off The timidity and confusion accumulated from living at the bottom for many years, he turned his ancestral abilities to the extreme, and stood out from his brother Zhang Guangzong and made a lot of achievements.

Saluting Zhu Bin with a doggy smile all over his face, he immediately changed his face when he turned around, and shook a thin piece of paper in his hand. Counselor, when did Cao Han and Cao Ziyang, the senior adviser of Sun Chuanfang's advisory group, become so covert, pretending to be a Taoist priest to deceive our Zhu team?"

The old man was exposed all of a sudden, Taoist Cao shook slightly, his eyes shone with a strange look, he clapped his hands and praised: "Sure enough, he is indeed the benefactor chosen by Cao, a strong general has no weak soldiers, and he can figure it out in a short while. My identity, good! Good! Sure enough, Cao didn’t miss it!”

"Huh?! You're quite calm!" Zhang Yaozu didn't like to see these dog-headed councilors who came from warlords, and said gloomily, "Mr. Cao, you don't have to pretend when you get to this point. Come on, what the hell are you doing?" Knowing that Commander Zhu is going to cross the river from Jinshanwei, and blocking the way, what do you want to do? Let’s say it bluntly, so we don’t have to be rough. You’ve had a good time anyway, don’t you want to end up like this?”

Cao Han didn't appreciate his threats at all, and said leisurely, "Young man, don't be so sharp, you know, you are so rough to me now, when I become your boss, you have to be careful." Concoct it, wait for it, it will be too late to regret it by then. Don't say that you didn't predict it!"

"Be our boss? It's up to you?" Zhang Yaozu let out a sneer, but soon thought of something, and his face changed slowly.

The more Zhu Bin watched the Taoist priest, the more interesting he felt. Looking at the information written on the paper brought by Zhang Yaozu, he guessed in his heart what this guy was planning.

Cao Han, whose name is Ziyang, is 33 years old, from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. He was born in a scholarly family. The General Staff Department of the General Headquarters was appointed as a counselor because of its excellent knowledge and strategy, and because of unknown reasons, it actually joined Ningji Okamura as an advisor, Zhang Jian, Zhang Binglin, Jiang Fangzhen, Zhao Hengti, Ding Wenjiang, Fu Xiaoan and others. Consultant group, enjoy a high salary of up to 500 yuan per month.

In 1927, the Northern Expedition was successful, Sun Chuanfang was defeated, and the advisory group dispersed. Cao Han did not follow the defeat and retreated outside the customs, so he stayed in the south. Yang Du died of illness in the Shanghai Concession in 1931. He once came forward to worship.

Since he settled in Zhoushan, Zhu Bin ordered the Intelligence Department and the Internal Security Department to sift through the situation in the entire area.It's really hard not to pay attention to a strange guy like Cao Han hiding on a small island, so it's natural to investigate.Zhang Yaozu was originally a local snake in Shanghai, and with the support of Qing Gang, Ax Gang and other forces, it is not too difficult to find out a person's details. What's more, Cao Han was also a well-known figure back then, leaving behind a lot of clues.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously, but now that this person has appeared, with such a big involvement, naturally he must not let it go.

Hearing his statement, Zhu Bin found it very funny. In the past two years, he has read a lot of classical books and learned a lot about Chinese culture. Cao Han's "Jiang Taigong Fishing" today clearly declared his intentions, but what about the "benefactor"? Yes, it's similar to the protagonist of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It's interesting that there are still people like this these days!

Putting on airs, Cao Han said: "Actually, it's not as difficult to judge Boss Zhu's whereabouts as imagined. In view of the fact that today's Japanese hate Mr. to the bone, they must get rid of him quickly, and people from all walks of life in the country also have wild ideas. With bad intentions, the rivers and lakes are also turbulent. For safety reasons, Mr. Zhu will not easily show his face and put himself in danger. Therefore, if you want to travel between Shanghai and Zhoushan, you only need to use a plane or a ferry."

"Airplanes are too conspicuous. They need space to take off and land. They are easily intercepted by the Japanese. It is inconvenient to go out of the Huangpu River and enter the sea by boat. It is easy to be attacked by Japanese warships. It is most convenient to go south and cross Hangzhou Bay. Besides, Mr. The ships used by the army are by no means the same as those used by other countries in the world today, and they are easy to identify, so Cao only needs to get people to pay more attention to the shore, observe for many days in person, and stop them in advance, so what's the difficulty?"

Nothing is unachievable!This sentence is fully reflected in Cao Han.As long as he observes carefully, Zhu Bin thinks that his actions are secretive, but he is successfully "waiting for the rabbit".

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world!" Zhu Bin nodded to Zhang Yaozu feeling quite touched in his heart.

Reluctantly, Zhang Yaozu cupped his fists at Cao Han, and said with a sullen face, "You have been educated! I will seriously review it with the intelligence department!"

Cao Han waved his hand lightly, as if he had done something insignificant.However, this performance also made Lin Banxian and others look at him with admiration. The person who is worthy of his reputation and who can attract the attention of Zhu Bin's subordinates is really extraordinary!

Hu Sheng rubbed his razor in disbelief, and asked in an angry voice: "Then you pretend to be Jiang Taigong fishing? What if you stop the wrong one? What if you are knocked over by our speedboat? Why don't you come to the door openly? Shout out Okay!"

Cao Han smiled casually: "If Mr. Zhu's subordinates are also rampaging like those ineffective guys, Cao will naturally not show up here. If you stop the wrong one once, you can do it again. If I stood at the bow of the boat and shouted at Zhu Mister's name, I'm afraid your machine gun has shot down the bay to feed the fish!"

Hu Sheng snorted and said, "You are wise!"

Lin Banxian's eyes flickered, and he said yinyin: "Captain Zhu, don't listen to him, it sounds real, but in fact, he just recognizes our ship! Today, whether you are on it or not, he will stop it .As long as you say that you want to see you, the guards will naturally pay attention to it, and then we will have a chance to meet you. Hehe, what a clever mouth!"

Zhu Bin thought it was true!Since this fellow has made up his mind to come to see him, or even go for refuge, he will not be able to get to the Zhoushan base in all seriousness, so it's a good way to pretend to be a ghost to attract attention!But it also proves that this fake Taoist is not in vain, he has a trick!

Rubbing his chin and leaning forward with one hand on his knee, Zhu Bin assumed the attitude of a fake boss, stared at Cao Han and said, "Thanks to Mr. Cao's kindness, since he can enjoy honor under Dashuai Sun's tent, he must have real talents and practical learning. But, how do you know that I will accept it?"

You came to your door out of nowhere, who knows what your plan is!Zhu Bin is not a grass-roots team, and it is better to lack than to overuse important personnel.

Cao Han put his hands behind his back, straightened his bony chest, and said proudly: "I know all kinds of military and political circles in the country very well, and I can see all kinds of ghosts and ghosts well. Mr. Zhu has a lot of talents under his command, and there are many of you here. A sensible person who can help you see the current affairs of the world and judge political strife and power struggle."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room looked at each other in blank dismay, many of them had strange expressions on their faces.These words hit Zhu Bin's most troublesome shortcoming!

For a long time, Zhu Bin is a good player when it comes to fighting, getting rich, building equipment, and Yu Baoguo and other young talents have their own strengths. Together, they cooperate seamlessly, so they develop extremely fast.

However, in the face of the complicated and ever-changing situation at home and abroad, it is extremely difficult to judge. Even with Chen Shaokuan, a veteran official, it is useless. Without him, Lao Chen is not good at political struggle. Compared with those old fritters, it's much worse!

The gap between professional soldiers and professional politicians is as wide as the Pacific Ocean. It takes a long time to grow up, but Zhu Bin lacks this thing the most.But I want to find someone who understands my advice, so I took a look in the advisory group, and found none. There are many heroes in the past who lived in Shanghai, but most of them are short-sighted people who only focus on a little regional interests, defeated generals If you rashly invite them, I'm afraid it will bring more trouble than contribution!

So every time there was any movement in the national government, Zhu Bin had to think hard, before his strength could be directly crushed, he had to spend this effort.But now, Cao Han has made it clear, so his purpose is very clear, to make up for this shortcoming by himself!

"If you want to be our dog-headed military, political advisor! It's not impossible, but you have to show some real materials to prove your ability." Lin Banxian and Zhu Bin looked at each other, and took two steps forward to look down upon Cao Han.

Cao Han calmly looked at him calmly, raised his hand and said, "Please ask the question. If Cao can't answer to everyone's satisfaction, you can just throw me into the sea!"

"Hehe, full of confidence!" Lin Banxian stared sharply, and said loudly, "Then let me ask you, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs recently ordered the Zhu Corps to expand the first regiment of the Special Forces, and ordered us to build a second naval base at Guzhenkou Everyone in the world knows about the conflict between Commander Zhu and Minister He Yingqin, but you want to send such a good deed for him?"

With a long and thin neck like a rooster, Cao Han proudly said: "This time is extremely simple! Minister He Yingqin did not make this order alone! The expansion of the army must be ordered by Generalissimo Jiang; the construction of the base in the north is the hand of Minister He. tail."

Is it so complicated?Zhu Bin straightened his body and said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details!"

He raised his hand to ask Hu Sheng to bring a chair over to ask him to sit down, and poured some fragrant hot tea.This is the style of a corporal, Cao Han nodded in satisfaction, thanked him calmly, took a sip of tea, savored it for a while, and continued: "For more than a year, the Zhu Corps has made countless contributions, and its contribution to the country is worthy of praise. Its reputation is astonishing in the past and the present, shining in the annals of history. It is well known that no amount of awards and praises can be exaggerated. But at the same time, it has also offended many high-ranking officials who are willing to reach out for benefits, such as Wang Zhaoming of the Executive Yuan, Industry and Commerce Chen Gongbo from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, He Yingqin from the Military and Political Department, and the Chen brothers from the Party Affairs Investigation Section, it can be said that apart from the Song family and the Kong family, everyone in the world is an enemy!"

Zhu Bin counted with his fingers, startled: "I offended so many people? I don't think so!"

Everyone rolled their eyes, is it because you old man didn't take it to heart at all?You don't care, people care!Throwing people away so rudely and arrogantly, like chasing flies away, who wouldn't be jealous!

Cao Han said with a chuckle: "Commander Zhu has the world in mind, so he won't care about these people's smuggling, but in the game, he has to deal with them. Just because you have the wealth of the world, they have a reason to deal with it. You. This time the Great Wall resisted the Japanese, the Zhu Corps and the Special Operations Regiment beat the Japanese bandits hard and made great achievements, so they must be rewarded, but they openly refused to give He Yingqin face, and because of their style, they will definitely retaliate."

"However, this matter is both good and bad. Since then, the Zhu Corps and the Special Forces have become independent husbands, and they have no one to rely on in the political circle. Only then can Chairman Jiang let it go. Therefore, there is the matter of expanding the army. He Yingqin must oppose it. , but you can’t hold back the chairman, so I added an order to let you go to Shandong to open a second base. Shandong is the territory of Han Fuju and Shen Honglie. They set up a naval base under their noses, which is tantamount to laying nails in the open. How can they react? "

Zhu Bin suddenly realized: "How else can I react! Guzhenkou is not a hundred miles away from Qingdao. Shen Honglie's Third Fleet is there. We passed by. Everyone thought it was the chairman's trick. Shen can still discuss it. Han Fuju Absolutely turn your face!"

Because of the crackdown on smuggling last time, Zhu Bin specially asked people to investigate the details of these two big bosses, so as to get a better understanding of their tendencies and personalities.Shen Honglie is a serious soldier, responsible, serious, practical, resolute in resisting Japan, and has a little respect for Lao Jiang.Han Fuju was not the same, his attitude was vacillating, and it was this guy who ordered the devils to attack, and he didn't listen to the government's yelling, and he wanted to be the overlord of Shandong.

In the past, Global Defense had asked for a small base in the past, and they accepted it after the exchange of benefits, because there were a large group of big powers that could not afford to offend.But this time it is the representative task force, wearing the hat of Lao Jiang, there must be disputes!At that time, if he, this stupefied young man, and the two old fritters get into a pinch, both sides will definitely suffer!

He Yingqin will be able to vent his anger, hehe, so calculating!

Cao Han concluded: "With the temperament, methods, wealth, and strength of Zhu's team, this time at least one can be evenly matched. The Japanese are deeply rooted in Shandong and have a lot of influence. They can also deal with you nearby. This is killing birds with one stone." plan."

Zhu Bin scratched his scalp, a little annoyed: "Since Lao Jiang wants to win me over, why don't he care? Let He Yingqin do this?"

Cao Han said with a smile: "Old Jiang is cold-hearted. He only has himself and power in his heart. How has he ever cared about other people's life and death? If you win the battle between Han and Shen, the government will take Shandong calmly; if you lose, Han Shen and Shen will definitely have to pay a huge price, and it will be easy for the national government to come forward to control it in the name of mediation. How can Mr. Chairman refuse such a good thing?"

"Fuck him! There is no good thing in politics!" Hu Sheng hated such slanderous methods the most, and yelled.

Zhu Bin was not angry, and bared his teeth and sneered: "Okay! I have used all my mental energy on this, which is very good. But, is it that easy to plot against me? I will let you all work for nothing!"

Cao Han said: "It is because I have seen their faces clearly that I can't go back to hiding. It is also because I have a detailed understanding of Zhu's team that I have today's meeting. How, I am satisfied with my answer?"

Zhu Bin applauded and laughed loudly: "I'm very satisfied! With Mr. Cao joining us, our task force will definitely be even more powerful!"

This is tantamount to agreeing to accept Cao Han. Wang Ziping and Chen Yingning both applauded and congratulated, but Lin Jiangshan suddenly changed his face and shouted sharply: "Cao Han, what is your relationship with Yang Du?"

Cao Han was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and said calmly: "I can be regarded as half of Yang Hugong's disciple."

Lin Jiangshan suddenly turned around and said to Zhu Bin, "This person can be killed but not kept!"
