Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 665: Preparation for Handover

The brief meeting ended like this, and Dana and Claude quickly returned to the concession, probably to try to find a way to contact the higher-ups. It would probably be impossible to contact London in such a short time, but it would still be possible to establish contact with the Consul General in Shanghai.

For a long time, the English in China have formed an interest group that is intertwined with large families, military officials and diplomatic officials.

In order to persuade the English to cooperate with them and provide them with a large amount of aid, the South said: Your country's merchants have assets of more than 300 million pounds in China. If the Japanese really occupy it completely, these 300 million pounds will not be guaranteed at all.

This is enough to show the huge wealth accumulated by England through decades of operation and plunder in China.

The core of this wealth community is Shanghai.

Naoto Matsuzaki watched the two Englishmen leave. He looked confident and seemed certain that they would agree to his conditions.

"Mr. Lin, I'm going to report to the two generals. You organize the people and continue patrolling around the concession to put pressure on them!"

Lin Ze nodded, "Should we escalate the situation a little? We won't attack the English, but there are many red turbans in the concession..."

Matsuzaki hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head. "Forget it, there's no need for that. Besides, those red turbans are nothing more than obedient dogs to the English. They won't feel bad if we kill a few of them."

Lin Ze felt a little regretful and wanted to take this opportunity to teach Red Turban a lesson!

The red headscarf group does not leave a good impression on ordinary people.

The British brought them to China from the White Elephant Colony and filled the police stations in various concessions.

The Red Turbans are now shaking. They are like slaves in their hometown, so how come they can become thugs for the English master after coming to China?

When a villain succeeds, he will turn around and bully those who are suffering even more.

They carried sticks all day long and beat rickshaw drivers and common people at any time, and they were extremely flattering to the powerful and wealthy.

There was a famous Peking Opera actor with a painted face who once lived in the Shanghai Concession. He drove a car and spent money lavishly. Every time he went to the theater, he had to go around the intersection several times.

Every time they pass by, the red headscarf will salute solemnly, and every time they pass by again, they will salute again.

The Peking Opera actor never gets tired of this.

After Matsuzaki left, Lin Ze left the hotel and got into Niu Saner's car.

"Leave the concession and take a look around."

Niu Saner drove out slowly and whispered, "Master, I have already found out that all the cash and gold are stored in the underground vaults of the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications. The vaults are cast in stone and are said to be impenetrable even by artillery shells. The steel door has to be opened by the bank manager and several directors of the Municipal Council at the same time."

Lin Ze nodded. He only inquired about the news just in case. He didn't plan to go directly to the basement to take the ocean away.

That would be a bit too eye-catching, and if the money was taken away, there would be a problem of who would take responsibility. It would be best to let the Japanese and the British fight each other, or even completely tear each other apart in advance.

On the outskirts of the concession, people from the Military Police Headquarters and the Coordination Bureau were patrolling different areas.

The leader of the headquarters is Qingshui Hao.

Seeing Lin Ze coming, Qingshui Hao quickly stood at attention and saluted.

"Major! For this operation, we have dispatched two teams to guard the perimeter of the concession. We have blocked the surrounding traffic and set up checkpoints. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

Lin Ze patted him on the shoulder, took out a pack of specially supplied Qianren needle cigarettes, took one out and handed it to him.

"Qingshui, don't be so nervous. Although we have a superior-subordinate relationship, we are also friends! When I was in the Beiping Military Police Headquarters, I had a colleague whose last name was also Qingshui. At that time, I was still a nobody. I miss him very much."

Although Qingshui Hao was a little dull, he was actually not stupid. He took the cigarette, hurriedly took out his lighter, and lit it for Lin Ze first.

"Okay, you continue to lead the patrol. Keep an eye on those people in the Concession Police Station, especially the red turbans. Anyone who dares to break through the checkpoint will be taught a lesson. You can't shoot, but you can use other means. Got it?"

"Understood, Major!"

Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction and walked to the patrol section of the Auxiliary Management Bureau.

Yu Xuecheng quickly ran over and saluted.

Lin Ze smoked a cigarette and asked casually, "Have you figured out the route inside?"

Yu Xuecheng whispered, "I've checked, Director. If you want to transport important supplies, you must start from the central construction area, go north along Oxford Street, pass the police station, Shuren Middle School, Anrenli, then leave the concession, enter No. 31 Road in the French Concession, and walk for a quarter of an hour to the Japanese Concession! This is the safest and fastest way."

"Take your men and patrol the Anrenli area. Get a good understanding of the surrounding terrain and buildings. I'll let you know if there's anything else."

Yu Xuecheng was very excited to have Master Lin personally lead the mission.

Put your heels together and salute, "Yes!"

Lin Ze kicked him, "Why are you so loud!"

By ten o'clock in the evening, the residents in the concession were already in a state of panic.

The Japanese military police have blocked traffic for several hours. What on earth do they want to do?

We buy houses and properties in the concession just to ensure safety, don't we?

Otherwise, who would spend more than ten times the price to buy land or houses?

Prominent figures flocked to the Municipal Council to demand an explanation.

You usually say nice things like as long as we pay taxes to the concession, the concession will protect us.

What now!

We have all become birds in a cage, trapped here by others!

Dana was extremely worried. All the directors came and everyone had their own opinions.

Some are more conservative and believe that the glory of the empire cannot be trampled upon, so how can we easily surrender to the devils!

Besides, that batch of wealth was so dazzling that if they had held on for a while longer, they would have been able to think of a suitable excuse and way to bring those silver dollars and gold back to their homeland for "protection". Now they want the Japanese to take them away. Isn't this stealing food from the mouths of our noble lords!

No, absolutely not!

But there are also those who think that compromise should be made. They feel that times have changed now, and they still think that it was the time when the war was launched and the young emperor of the Eastern dynasty was forced to flee in panic.

There is no imperial fleet in Jinmen Bay now!

The Japanese are at the peak of their power. If they ask for something from you, you have to give it to them, otherwise they will really make trouble for you!

Just when everyone was arguing, a telegram from Shanghai had the final say.

Claude came out of the telegraph room, looking a little tired.

Everyone looked at him.

"Gentlemen, the Consul General has made a decision and has notified the two banks to prepare to transfer the gold and silver."
