Agents of the Republic of China

Jokes are all jokes, but Lin Xiaotang's remarks were not aimless. In fact, ever since he planned to contact the Dragon King, he began to plan to incorporate this elite floating on the sea into his command.There is only one answer to what is the foundation of one's life in troubled times, and that is to have one's own people and guns.

And now is the right time to talk about this topic.Zhang Xiaolin's sharpness has been suppressed for the time being. Although he has taken refuge in the Japanese, his foundation is in the concession after all. As long as the concession does not fall, he will always look at the eyes of Britain, the United States and France. This time he has suffered such a big loss. According to his temper, sooner or later Will make a comeback, and Lin Xiaotang and Dragon King are his main goals.

What the Dragon King relies on is sea transportation. Once Zhang Xiaolin convinces the Japanese to escort his fleet, the Dragon King can only watch and sigh. In this way, the Dragon King will lose the foundation of survival.Therefore, at present, for the Dragon King, it is the only way to gradually infiltrate to the shore through the pier presented by Du Yuesheng.

But Lin Xiaotang has a different view on this, because his vision is not limited to a corner of Shanghai, the coastline is so vast, relying on the national power of the Japanese, even if they deploy all the combined fleets, they will never be able to reach it. To the point of covering the sky.Therefore, at sea, there is still a lot to do.

Lin Xiaotang explained his thoughts to Long Yulan in as simple and understandable language as possible.Long Yulan's eyes immediately shone, but after all, she had followed the Dragon King on the sea for many years, and she didn't give an answer immediately, saying that she would ask her elder brother for instructions before making a decision.

Seeing the change in her expression, Lin Xiaotang understood the attraction and temptation of his plan to the brother and sister, and then said that after a while, he hoped to have a detailed discussion with the Dragon King face to face.The time and place are determined by the Dragon King.

Long Yulan fully agreed.

Now, worries about the future have been eliminated, and the preparations have been completed, and the trip to Nanjing has been mentioned in Lin Xiaotang's schedule.Nanjing is currently the capital of the puppet government. Although it has just suffered from wars and massacres, in order to whitewash the peace, the puppet government has moved a large number of people from various places to Nanjing, and various infrastructure facilities have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.So at this time, it is not difficult to sneak into Nanjing.

As for the manpower to take to Nanjing, Lin Xiaotang thought and thought, and finally decided to take Guo Zhui, Lin Huaibu and ten subordinates. The business here is under the care of Wan Molin, Shen Fatty, Ma Qixiang and Datou, so it is expected that there will be no accidents. What's wrong.

But since Ma Qixiang learned that Lin Xiaotang was going out for a period of time, he pestered Lin Xiaotang and insisted on following him. Lin Xiaotang was stalked tirelessly by him. Ma Qixiang still had his reasons. Lin Xiaotang promised to help him do it within a year. Show some results to Dong Jiayi and her cousin, so he has to follow Lin Xiaotang all the time to get some credit.

Ma Qixiang's grueling kung fu is really amazing, the whole day and night, he circled around Lin Xiaotang like a fly, eating, bathing, sleeping..., hovering around Lin Xiaotang non-stop.

Lin Xiaotang finally collapsed, "I agree, brother, I agree, is it okay?"

After deciding on the candidate, Lin Xiaotang remembered one thing. After arriving in Nanjing, he originally planned to open a trading company as a cover, but considering the concealment and safety of his future actions, he thought it would be better to open a company with a Japanese background , because I happen to have a suitable candidate in my hand.

The flavor of the Spring Festival has gradually dissipated, and the streets and alleys of Shanghai have finally returned to their former leisure. Men and women have also put on beautiful spring clothes, and Shanghai has the colors of spring.

Lin Xiaotang was wearing a pair of brown glasses and a long gown, sitting in a tea shop on the side of a street in Hongkou, sipping tea, but staring at the opposite bar without blinking.

Guo Zhui and Lin Huaibu dressed up as peddlers, one on the left and one on the right, guarding two intersections of the street.

There was a riot at the entrance of the street, and five or six arrogant Japanese ronin walked over swaggeringly. The passers-by on the street saw their posture and avoided them one after another.The Japanese ronin kicked open the door of the bar and rushed in as if no one else was there, and there was a burst of jumping around.

After a while, the Japanese ronin seemed to have not found the target, and came out dejectedly, as if venting, he smashed several small shops in succession, and then walked away.

Lin Xiaotang nodded at Guo Zhui and Lin Huaibu, they understood, and quickly followed the group of Japanese ronin from two directions.

Dagu looked at the rogues at the entrance of the alley and found nothing, the heart that had been put down in his heart was raised again in an instant, he stamped his feet in frustration, and walked listlessly along the alley towards the direction he came from.

For Lin Xiaotang who appeared suddenly, Dagu had a kind of unexplained vigilance. The identity of this person has always been a mystery to Dagu. That night he took the initiative to approach him. During that period of time, he did spend a few days like a fairy, which was the most extravagant and unforgettable day in his life. Although that feeling was like a kind of poison, it was tempting him all the time, but deep down in Dagu's heart He still didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Xiaotang, he was a soldier and a Japanese after all, he didn't want to become a pawn at the mercy of others for no reason.

Dagu was thinking about his own thoughts, and kicked the stones on the road carelessly, completely ignoring Lin Xiaotang who was following closely behind him.

Lin Xiaotang walked into Dagu, holding his arm tightly with one hand. Dagu was startled, and just about to turn around, a gun was pressed against his waist, and then a familiar Japanese accent came out, "Don't look back ,keep going forward!"

Dagu is like falling into an ice cellar, he is too familiar with this voice, subconsciously, he longs for the luxurious life brought to him by the owner of this voice, while on the other hand he struggles helplessly in his rationality.

With a sudden brake at the entrance of the alley, a black car stopped, and a man with an expressionless face opened the door. Lin Xiaotang pushed Dagu into the car with force, and immediately, Dagu felt a heavy blow on the back of his head. , fainted.

"Mr. Otani".Lin Xiaotang called Da Gu's name coldly.

Dagu slowly opened his eyes, rubbed the swollen and sore part of the back of his head, and looked around. It seemed to be a small warehouse with messy piles of dilapidated wooden boxes. He was lying on a pile of weeds. In front of him was the mysterious The man, and two other men dressed as hawkers, looked at him with unfriendly expressions.

Dagu sat up and said with a wry smile, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "What's the reason?"

"I found those rogues. I gave them money. They promised to kill you. That's Hongkou. If a ronin kills a person, it won't attract anyone's attention."

A man came over, carrying a small bag in his hand, walked up to Da Gu, turned the bag around, and dropped a few bloody fingers.

Dagu suddenly shivered.

Lin Xiaotang took off his hat and glasses, "Yes, I have a reason to kill you, but I changed my mind."

"Why?" Dagu forced himself to be calm.

"Oh!" Lin Xiaotang sighed, "I still want to cooperate with Mr. Dagu, after all, it is not easy to find a suitable partner like you."

"What kind of deal do you want to make with me!" Dagu jumped up suddenly, got up from the pile of straw, and grabbed Lin Xiaotang's skirt, his face flushed with excitement.

Guo Zhui and Lin Huaibu hurried over.

Lin Xiaotang reached out his hand to signal the two not to intervene, then stared into Dagu's eyes, "I told you last time, it's a business, a business that can make money, a business that allows you to enjoy a luxurious life, and your family can live comfortably!"

"You lied to me!" Dagu shouted, the veins on his forehead stood out, "You want to use me to betray the nation!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "Please, don't think so complicated, Mr. Dagu, what are you thinking about all day long? Reasoning? Or guessing? There is no basis for all this. We have met twice, you should have some feelings for me. Understand, you can feel that I have no malice towards you!"

"Then why did you approach me and use me?" Dagu roared, spattering Lin Xiaotang's face with his spit.

Lin Xiaotang wiped his face helplessly, "Business is like this. In fact, it's mutual use. You provide what I need, and I pay you equivalent or even super-valuable returns!"

Lin Xiaotang continued: "You might as well recall, did you lose anything that night? Just drank with me all night, and got a week of perfect vacation. After that, who came to trouble you again? ? The answer is no, because I have never used you at all, and that is all your own speculation. I just wanted to find a partner, and you appeared in front of me just at this time."

"Why me?" Dagu's emotions gradually calmed down, and he let go of Lin Xiaotang's skirt.

"Because you are from Osaka, you are an imperial official, and you have the same business philosophy as me, and even the same hobbies—alcoholic wine, beauties, money, and all the supreme enjoyments!" Lin Xiaotang waved his arms, facing Otani chatter.

Dagu lowered his head dejectedly, "What kind of business is it?"

"It's very simple." Lin Xiaotang was very happy to see Otani's changes. "I will register a company in Shanghai and Nanjing. Mr. Otani also knows that these two places are currently occupied by the empire. I urgently need a Japanese to cooperate. Partner, so that our business can develop smoothly. Of course, we will have many kinds of business, and at present, smuggling is the most important!"

"Is it really as simple as smuggling?" Dagu couldn't believe his ears.

Lin Xiaotang laughed loudly, "My friend, is smuggling just a piece of cake for you? Don't you know that Asia is now a smuggling paradise for the whole world. We want to take advantage of the war to quickly mine wealth. Such a profit figure will You and I can hardly imagine it. I understand that you think I am a devil, but even if I am a devil, I can still bring you happiness!"

Dagu's heart fluttered a little, he thought that Lin Xiaotang would be an information dealer, but he didn't expect that he would actually do smuggling business with him, so it was not unacceptable.

"Let me think about it and give you an answer in two days!"

"No!" Lin Xiaotang said decisively: "Only one day!" He pointed at Da Gu and teased: "Every extra day spent will make me lose one day's money, which I absolutely cannot allow."

Dagu thought for a while, then nodded.

Lin Xiaotang smiled with satisfaction, "My men will send you back, and they will tell you my contact information. I hope to hear from you within 24 hours!"

Dagu turned and walked out in silence.

Lin Xiaotang called him, "Mr. Dagu, based on what you did this afternoon, I have to consider my own safety and interests. I have a document in my hand, which records that on a certain day in August last year, there were suddenly more black markets in Shanghai. The batch of grain is not large, totaling 670 catties, hehe, I think Mr. Ogu will definitely be impressed!"

Dagu's body shook, his footsteps stopped slightly, but then he strode out.
