"I also know this situation. Although the rivers cannot run, the sea will basically not be frozen. You can run along the coastline. A large part of the smuggling is by sea, so it can still be used.
The road conditions in Pingjin and surrounding areas are relatively good. The ground is dry in winter, and it is located on plains and wastelands. You can drive through the car if necessary.
There are many bridges, and they can usually pass by vehicles (plate carriages and horses are common means of transportation in the north. Northern bridges can be designed and built to accommodate them, and light vehicles are not a problem). The river channel is frozen and can also be allowed to pass by.
There are also many used cars here. I have purchased some at a low price for use in operation. There are many vehicles in Ping and Tianjin, and I have also inquired about the land such as car rental stores.
It really doesn't work. Ox carts, horse carts, camel carriages are also common, and we don't know how to drive them away. In addition, if snow falls, there are sleds and prying boards available, but we need to learn it."
Xu Zhiyu nodded, as long as Wang Mingkun knew, he spoke, but was worried that he would not understand the situation very well, so he reminded him one or two.
"Is there a suitable newcomer candidate?" Wang Mingkun asked. Xu Zhiyu had many people to contact along the way and had many opportunities to find suitable candidates.
"I met a pair of brothers on the way, who were born in the Northeast Army. After 1998, I participated in the anti-Japanese armed forces in the local area and fought against the Japanese. The team behind them was broken up, and I set up a boat and escaped from the Northeast by sea.
Before joining the army, he ran over the boat. After coming over, he also smuggled around with the small boat. The coastal areas of the Yellow Sea and the Yellow Sea were all familiar with each other.
When they met, the two brothers were looking for ways to buy ammunition. According to what they said, they heard that the Japanese were smuggling silver dollars on the sea, trying to grab one and get revenge at the same time.
Because these two people were very helpful to our actions, I made a good decision and revealed some of the situation and recruited them. They had heard about Shanghai and were very enthusiastic.
After recruiting, we tested the quality of the two of us. We still had some real skills to escape from the Northeast. We had no problem with physical fitness and shooting skills, and we basically met the standard of identifying and judging words.
Even simply looking at the pictures, combat command will not be a problem to deal with these, but there are many problems with them. I guess you need to spend some time and train them well to be able to use it.”
Wang Mingkun asked about some details and discussed with Wang Shoufei. Both of them agreed to Xu Zhiyu's arrangement.
"Where are the others? Are there only these two people? It shouldn't be true?" Seeing that Xu Zhiyu was silent, Wang Mingkun spoke and continued to ask.
"Along the way, all kinds of people have come into contact with many people, but most of them are children of the world, and there are also many people who are open and loyal. However, people in the world have many problems. The contact has been short and they don't know the other party's true character. In addition, they have not encountered anything that is too outstanding, so they only chose these two brothers in the end."
After Xu Zhiyu finished speaking, he also handed Wang Mingkun the information and material lists along the way together.
"By the way, Brother Kun, before coming, Team Lin gave me a contact list, which was arranged in a large and medium-sized city, not a site in the office, but an outer periphery of the second group.
A group of people responsible for collecting local public information, that is, newspapers published in the local area, recording books and magazines that introduce local objects, and collecting basic information such as local forces, and sending them back for sorting and utilization.
Along the way, I arranged for people to go to, and took a copy of the things they collected. At present, the people on the boat have sorted out useful things, but there are too many information and the surrounding areas have just been obtained, so I didn't bring them."
Wang Mingkun nodded, and after roughly looking through the things Xu Zhiyu handed over, he also took out a few copies of the information from his body and handed it to the two of them.
"The place where we settle, the commuter vehicles, and these miscellaneous things have been made initially, and these few documents are the information to determine the target. Take a look at it and see which company we should start with first."
After Wang Mingkun finished speaking, Wang Shoufei and the others put down their chopsticks, took the information, and circulated each other to check.
Liu Ziqian is a small powerful gangster in Tianjin. He is associated with the Japanese and is hiding in the Japanese concession and does many evil things.
In business operations such as car dealers, cargo warehouses, etc., there are many gang members under their command, and now they are colluding with the Japanese to smuggle silver dollars.
However, unlike other locals who are mainly responsible for collecting silver dollars, he is the Japanese who are responsible for the long-term and cooperate with him. They have a relationship with these aspects of banks and can ship silver dollars directly into batches.
But I don’t know if the relationship background is not in place or if I am unwilling to share the benefits, the other party chose to cooperate with this person and be responsible for transporting the silver dollar by land.
"Brother Kun, this group of people is not very large in smuggling, why pick it out?" Wang Shoufei asked. He had been here for a while and had some knowledge of the relevant situation.
Upon hearing this, Wang Mingkun replied: "The overall scale is not large, but the number of goods shipped in a single time is not low. As well as the escort personnel, more than ten vehicles were dispatched almost every time."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyu commented: "The gang escort is a soft seed, and the number of times is large, and it is enough to cause a sensation if it is snatched. However, they are not big smugglers, so they will not cause us big trouble directly.
While these people's reactions will not be so fierce, they will also arouse some people's greed. After all, if they just grab one and are chased by a bunch of people, many people will also give in."
Wang Mingkun nodded and said, "I also like their cars. Because they are transported by land, the distance is not short. The vehicles they use have been collected with some effort. Vehicles with high horsepower and good off-road capabilities are quite suitable for our needs."
Wang Shoufei and Xu Zhiyu were both stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Mingkun had the idea of ​​getting in the car, but it was not surprising that the car that met these requirements was indeed difficult to get in a short period of time.
"When it comes to land transportation, I don't understand it very much. The waterway is obviously more convenient. Why do you have to go land or use a car or a truck instead of a railway?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Hearing Xu Zhiyu's question, Wang Mingkun explained: "It may be that the way is not opened, or there may be people who are not dealing with. The details are unclear, but there will be no major problems.
They shipped from Tianjin and were directly escorted to the north from east to west. After passing Shanhaiguan, they loaded the train and transported back to the northeast. They did not take water or took railways directly. They probably had not prepared the order or were unwilling to pay the money.
The situation in the North is complicated, and people from all sides and backgrounds fight here. The Japanese are not a single piece of the same body. There are many similar situations. Not every group of people can open up many joints and take the most convenient and fastest way to traffic."
After explaining, seeing the two nodded, Wang Mingkun continued: "The other reason for choosing Liu Ziqian is that he is trading gasoline and auto parts with a man named Yin Fenghai.
Needless to say, gasoline will be troublesome once we take action, so we can buy in large quantities in advance or take other ways, which may leave some unnecessary traces.
The same goes for automotive spare parts. We need to prepare replacement and backup, and the remodeling and disguise of the vehicle, and these things are also needed.
So, I thought, I would just do everything from them at once. These two businesses were organized together with Liu Ziqian's participation in silver smuggling. This should be the benefit given to him by the Japanese who cooperated with him.
In other words, the Japanese who cooperated with him had the opportunity to get silver and gasoline auto parts, but there was no transportation or distribution channel, so he came to Liu Ziqian.
Let Liu Ziqian transport silver for him and then provide him with gasoline and auto parts. However, Liu Ziqian may not be able to afford this transaction due to his background and strength, so he came to Yin Fenghai to cooperate.
This Japanese devil is not simple. Not only do he revitalize both resources at hand and have to earn money, but he also firmly controls the supply of goods. He is not worried that Liu Ziqian will bypass him and engage in silver smuggling himself. He will even do his best to get this done for him for the benefit of the other side.
But for this reason, if we steal the convoy that smuggled silver, these two companies should be like frightened birds and greatly strengthen the protection of the convoy of silver. At that time, we will be able to start with oil and auto parts."
After hearing this, Wang Shoufei and the others agreed with Wang Mingkun's plan, but the other goals they selected also need to be discussed. Since they are all selected together, there are definitely something good.
"Brother Kun, why did Sun Yugui move? He is engaged in arms dealings. If we want to lure others to disrupt the situation, he should stay? If you can't get a weapon, how can those people rob it?"
Sun Yugui, this person's family is involved in the army, and is related to the old warlord forces. There are a large number of troops left by the Beiyang factions in the north, and these are big customers in underground arms trading.
These people are both buyers and sellers, and they want to expand their power. After all, they have nominally belonged to the government and have legal channels, but they cannot buy it. As for sellers, they are naturally those who want to make money.
With that relationship and strong demand, this guy has become a big player in the underground arms trading in Pingjin area. Of course, most of them are scattered transactions, so it is definitely not his turn to the bulk, but it is precisely because of this that Xu Zhiyu asked this question.
"It is precisely because of their size that they have to be removed. After all, he may not be inclined to us or even be neutral, and why did he participate in silver smuggling? In fact, his butt is already sitting on the side of the Japanese.
The Japanese concessions like to protect them. Once they have trouble, they will flee into the Japanese concession to hide, which has led to many people of all kinds of forces and have close ties with the Japanese.
Furthermore, even if his butt is not sitting on the Japanese side, once it becomes chaotic, a large force like this will definitely not be able to do it unscrupulously. It is likely that due to the forces of all parties, they will restrain their business.
Therefore, we need to at least destroy a big player. If the market falls and the market is empty, a bunch of small forces will emerge below. Among them, there may be no shortage of those who are afraid, but there are no shortage of those who are bold or want to make a vote and leave."
After Wang Mingkun explained, the two of them had no doubts about this, but this person was reselling arms. Not to mention anything else, the firepower would definitely not be weak, and the idea was a little tough.
Wang Mingkun also explained the reasons for the remaining two selected targets. One of them is a smuggling gang with strong background power. Not only is the total amount large, but the amount of a single time is also extremely large, and they are all counted by tons.
The entire process was handled by the Japanese, using military trucks and holding the North China garrison military certificate. Although they were not active escort vehicles, they were all reserve or retired trainees.
The North China garrison troops, which are the troops stationed in a strategic location between Tanggu and Shanhaiguan after the Xinchou Treaty, Japan officially promoted less than 2,000 people.
In fact, the actual number is far above this. In addition to the main soldiers in the military camp, the Pingjin area, especially in the Japanese concession in Tianjin, there are also a large number of reserve or retired soldiers, who can be armed at any time.
This goal is a tough guy, but it is also the most rampant smuggling. If you don’t mess with them, you will have to have most of the miscarriages in the purpose of going north this time.
"This is not easy to touch? The simplest thing to do is to end the matter. What's more troublesome is how to end the matter later. If they don't talk about their pursuit, they are afraid that they will use this as a verbal blow to cause trouble."
Xu Zhiyu rubbed his eyebrows and spoke. Although he had some objections to the government's attitude towards Japan, he was unwilling to have trouble for himself and others.
"...Yes..." Wang Mingkun also had a headache, thought for a while, and said, "Try not to attack the Pingjin realm, and be good at the time of the staff! Try to make them unable to find a reason."
"...wrong..." Wang Shoufei shook his head and said, "Excuses are just excuses. Others want to find them, but they can create them for you even if they don't. You can't hide from such things.
During the investigation and investigation, I noticed some situations. The Japanese infiltration and rebellion here are very serious, especially in recent years, I guess I am planning some conspiracy and may be taking action soon.
We came here unexpectedly, and we might be hitting the gun. My suggestion is to collect and organize relevant information as soon as possible and deliver it to you.
First, let me remind you to make some response preparations in advance so that you don’t even understand the actual situation when things come to an end. Second, take us out in advance so that something happens, and just put the pot on our heads.”
Wang Shoufei was recruited directly by Lin Mo. He was particularly concerned about Lin Mo's words and deeds. Lin Mo also mentioned his concerns about these situations. So after coming here, Wang Shoufei paid special attention to this situation.
Wang Mingkun also recognized this point. For example, the remaining target is a gang led by locals to smuggle silver. On the surface, it is a local gang, but in fact it is behind the scenes, and it is likely that it has already defected to the other party.
Of course, there is another reason to choose it. Just hit the inner thief, but don’t deal with the outer thief. The inner thief is still reselling silver crazily.
"Let's talk about the goal choice! My idea is to start a big move on the smuggling convoy first, then disperse, and do a bunch of small moves, first make the atmosphere, then temporarily dormant for a while, arrange the work such as oil and fuel, and then plan to attack the remaining targets selected..."
