Chapter 263: One step ahead(1/2)
The "Ant Moving" plan is in an orderly manner. This plan involves too many links and cannot be leaked in the slightest.
Especially for equipment transportation, it is definitely not possible to go by land.
Waterways are inevitable.
But waterways are not that easy, they need to pass through customs, and this requires cooperation from Jianghai Customs.
The cotton mill and Jianghai Customs have underground party organizations. Without this prerequisite, Lu Xiyan would never have designed such a plan.
Because there is no way to open up the joints here.
The dismantling of the equipment of the yarn mill can be done without any mistakes. It must be organized closely, but Xi Hongwei is afraid that it will not be able to do it.
The key is to rely on the underground party organization of workers from the yarn mill.
As for Jianghai Customs, this batch of equipment is disguised as export materials. How to pass customs inspections also requires the cooperation of the customs.
It wouldn't work without the underground party organization of Jianghai Customs.
The last step is the ship company.
If Lu Xiyan was asked to choose this point, he would really not know which one is reliable in a short period of time, but the organization would be much simpler.
China-Thailand Shipping Company.
In order to block the Yangtze River waterway and prevent Japanese ships from advancing west along the Yangtze River, a local Chinese ship company contributed several of its own ships engaged in inland transportation.
Because of support for the anti-Japanese war, the ships rented to the Japanese were also detained and have not been returned to this day.
It can be said that if the company's headquarters were not in the concession, it would have been sealed off by the Japanese long ago.
This ship company naturally has its own people, and the boss is like Xi Hongwei, very patriotic and national integrity.
He promised to help and transport the equipment to Zhenhai through his own ship (it was not until June 1939 that the Japanese army landed in Zhenhai, and the coastal areas of eastern Zhejiang were still in the hands of the Kuomintang).
Lu Xiyan didn't wait until all the equipment was disassembled before shipping. Since one batch was disassembled first, then install one batch first and transport it away as much as possible.
The first batch of yarn mill equipment has been shipped smoothly.
All joints were opened, so it went very smoothly. Although some minor accidents occurred in the middle, they did not affect the operation of the entire plan.
...
Regarding "Fenn", Guo Hanjie kept staring at him and finally news came.
"Fenn's wife Martha and daughter Anna have obtained a visa to come to Shanghai. The family first went to Switzerland, then crossed from France, and took a French mail ship to Shanghai.
It is expected that it will take about ten days to walk on the sea to reach Shanghai.
This is excellent news for "Fenn". Even if his wife and daughter arrive, his goal is halfway. The next step is to exchange the arms in his hands for a considerable amount of money, and then the whole family immigrated to the United States to live the life they wanted.
...
Inoue Mansion.
"Are you sure about the visa given by the Chinese?" Yuichi Inoue asked in surprise.
"It is confirmed that it was issued by the Austrian consulate. We originally wanted to issue a transit visa to Fein's wife Martha and daughter Anna through the neutral country Switzerland, but found that they had obtained a visa to the Chinese consulate..." Tsukamoto reported.
"Do Fein know about this?"
"It's not clear. Judging from the telegram sent to him by Martha, he did not tell him which country the visa was issued, so..." Tsukamoto replied.
"I want to see Liunina." Yuichi Inoue said.
"Hayi!"
...
"The visa we sent to Martha?" Lu Xiyan waited for two days before he received the same news from Hu Yunzhi, and what surprised him even more.
The visa was actually issued by the Chinese Consulate in Austria and had no relationship with the Japanese.
"We took a lot of effort to pass Dr. He to give Martha a visa. The Military Control Commission may not know this yet." Hu Yunzhi said, "But it is hard to say that the Japanese are much more convenient for them in Austria than us."
"In theory, it's much easier for them to issue a visa to Martha than us. Why did we even let us take one first?" Lu Xiyan said strangely.
"They have concerns and are afraid of causing diplomatic trouble. Our visas were issued secretly by Dr. He. Anyway, it's because there are too many lice."
“That’s true.”
...
"Earl" bar.
It was almost time to close. There were not many guests in the bar. Basically, they were couples, hugging each other in groups, hugging each other and kissing fiercely.
The charming Liu Nina pushed the door open and walked straight to Andrei who was busy at the bar.
"Hey, baby, what are you drinking?" Andre was also a pervert. When he saw Liu Nina, his eyes lit up and he greeted him.
"You're the best."
"Is that so? You were the same last time. You were drunk with a cup?" Andrey smiled.
"That's not right, it's up to you." Liu Nina Hong opened her lips slightly, took out an exquisite cigarette box from her makeup bag, took out a cigarette and clamped it between her fingers.
Andre took out a silver lighter and lighted it for her.
call!
A smoke ring spit out, and the slightly opened collar revealed a touch of white jade in the color of mutton fat. The deep gullies made Andre, a veteran like Andre, who had been through the battlefield, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, revealing a hint of obsession.
"Your wine." A glass of mixed cocktail was handed over.
"Mr. Inoue said that Mr. Fein's wife and daughter are already on the mail ship to Shanghai, so will he also fulfill his promise?" Liu Nina picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"What?" Andrey was not stupid. This woman, Lyunina, would not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble.
"Mr. Inoue said that he wanted to inspect the goods."
"It's not that we can directly trade and inspect the goods when we wait for someone to go to Shanghai. It's not necessary, and this is also risky." Andrei said.
"To be honest, we don't really believe that Fein has such a large batch of goods in his hands. For the sake of cooperation, we can feel at ease."
"You should know, what are the consequences of a living place once it is discovered?" Andrey said.
"Do you think there are anyone in Shanghai that is stronger than us?" Liu Nina smiled disdainfully with a smudge from the ashes in her hand.
"That might be possible, don't you have the means to deal with the Military Control Commission and the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group?" Andrei smiled, "It should be noted that the other two buyers this time are them."
"They are just scabies, and sooner or later they will be eradicated by us, and it is not worth worrying." Liu Nina's face changed slightly, and she smiled.
"Don't be so full of words. Although you have occupied Shanghai, you cannot do anything arbitrary in the concession unless you want to be enemies of the whole world." Andre chuckled.
"Andre, in fact, we are the same people. Your father was driven out of Russia like a dog. Don't you hate it?"
"Luenina, it's your business for you to do things for the Japanese. It's impossible to pull me into the water." Andre said bluntly.
"Mr. Inoue said that the goods must be inspected, otherwise, he would not guarantee whether Madame Martha and Miss Anna could arrive in Shanghai safely." Liu Nina smiled and said.
"He is threatening?"
"You know, he has the ability to do it." Liunina said.
"Okay, I will convey your request to Fein, but you must also ensure their safety, otherwise we can cooperate with the Military Control Commission or the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group." Andrei gritted his teeth.
"Yes." Liu Nina drank the full cocktail and twisted the water snake's waist and left.
This woman has a good alcohol tolerance. She is so good at acting. Andre suddenly felt a little scary. That time he believed it.
...
"Fenn, come on."
Picking up the phone on the counter, Andre said directly.
About ten minutes later, Fein appeared at the "Earl" bar. He was used to being sloppy, but today he was wearing clean clothes and his hair was cleaned up. His face was a little pale. It should be because he had not been basking in the sun for a long time, but his mental state improved a lot.
It should be because he learned that his wife and daughter were coming to reunite, the man finally remembered that he was the father of a husband and a child.
"The Japanese want to inspect the goods and have a firm attitude."
"Just inspect the goods, it's nothing?" Fein was still immersed in the joy of reuniting with his wife and daughter. Other things were nothing in his eyes.
"Do you know that we don't have that much goods at all. What if you find out if you ask the Japanese to inspect the goods?" Andrey said.
"What should I do?" Fein was stunned. The matter was said to be selling arms, but in fact, the person behind the scenes was Andre.
Except for Tan Si who came to Fein himself directly, the Japanese and Boss Du communicated through Andrei.
They said there must be some arms, but it was definitely not as much as they boasted about. It was impossible for a whole regiment of weapons and equipment, and it was a German regiment.
There were indeed many arms in their hands that were secretly damaged back then, but they also secretly sold a lot of them over the years.
At most, the equipment left for one battalion is the equipment eliminated from the Wanguo Business Group. Although it is not bad, it is still much worse than that of German equipment.
The Wanguo Business Group mainly uses American equipment, especially they secretly cooperate with the Russian volunteer team. When eliminating damaged equipment, the number of damaged equipment was reported to them, and then they sold these "damaged" equipment directly to them, and then sold them to the black market.
Through this method, they have accumulated a batch of equipment "eliminated" from the Wanguo Business Group.
There are quite a few of the two together, but there is still a little less when they are equipped with a group. Before, they and Tan Si and Wan Molin were asking for prices all over the place.
"He wants to inspect the goods, and we don't need to show him all the goods, right?" Andrei thought for a moment and said.
