Chapter 469 The troops are divided into two groups
"Boom, boom, boom." Just as the train was about to pass the designated target, the explosives buried by the engineering company on both sides of the railroad tracks suddenly exploded.
The huge impact force blew two sections of the rails in front. The train driver tried his best to pull the emergency brake. Suddenly, there was an extremely harsh braking sound on the train track and it slowly stopped.
"Bang, bang, bang," the sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and the soldiers raised their guns and rushed towards the train like a tide.
The troops dispatched this time included two reinforced companies and an engineering company, a total of 500 to 600 people.
The entire battle lasted less than five minutes, and all the resistance forces on the train were eliminated.
Of course, the biggest reason is that this type of freight vehicle does not have many guards and cannot withstand even a round of impact.
"Captain, we've found something." The commander of the third company, Hu Xingbo, ran to Lin Quan excitedly and said, "There are a lot of boxes in the 14th and 15th carriages, and there are several Manchu guards guarding them."
"Come on, take me to see it." Lin Quan put the revolver into the holster and called Hu Xingbo to go to the carriage he mentioned.
At the front of the carriage, several soldiers pointed their guns at several tall middle-aged men.
What kind of Imperial Household Department guard is he? His height and physique seem to be much taller than that of an ordinary person.
However, in the face of hot weapons, it is not physique and height that determine success or failure.
Seeing Lin Quan coming, a soldier stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Reporting to the detachment commander, these people claim to be guards from Manchukuo escorting the national treasure."
"However, we have searched carefully and there are no national treasures in the carriage."
"The boxes are empty."
Seeing a pile of empty boxes, Hu Xingbo was immediately furious. He grabbed the leader by the collar and said angrily, "Where is the national treasure?"
"Captain Hu, be careful with your attitude," Lin Quan walked up to the leader and said, "Brother, we are all Chinese."
"You gave the national treasure to the Japanese. Would your ancestors rest in peace if they knew about this?"
The man snorted heavily, and there seemed to be four clear words written on his face: unruly.
"Brother, what's your name?" Lin Quan signaled the soldiers to put away their guns.
The man glanced at Lin Quan and still said nothing.
"What? Are you Manchu warriors so ashamed of your names?"
The man's eyes bulged and he said in an evil voice, "You're talking nonsense. A real man should never change his name or surname."
"I am Ordo, a fourth-rank imperial guard of Manchukuo, and a lieutenant of the Bordered Yellow Banner."
Although Lin Quan didn't know what official position this Bordered Yellow Banner Commander held, judging from his arrogant look, it should be quite high.
Lin Quan did not ask too many questions, but just smiled and continued to ask: "Where are those national treasures? Have you hidden them?"
"Hmph." Lin Quan responded with another disdainful snort.
"Captain," Hu Xingbo winked at Lin Quan and said loudly, "These people refuse to cooperate, so we might as well kill them all."
No way, doesn’t the Red Army not kill prisoners?
Could it be that the rumors were false? Were they the same as those little devils?
"No, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." As soon as Hu Xingbo finished speaking, a guard in the crowd couldn't help but shout.
"Ha Qisheng, as a Manchurian Baturu, how can you be so afraid of death? You are simply bringing disgrace to our family." Ordo immediately shouted angrily, "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the country. You are committing treason."
The guard named Ha Qisheng spat and said, "Erduo, do you still think that this is the heyday of the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty fell a long time ago. We are just trying to make a living. There is no need to risk our lives. I have a family to support."
"Sir, let me tell you," Ha Qisheng said with a licking smile, "the things were taken away by our commander, Lord Fu."
"As soon as we entered the customs, we were chased by several gangs."
"Lord Fu was afraid that something might happen along the way, so he ordered us to escort the empty boxes to Shanghai, while they took the national treasure along another route."
"They left first, and we left later. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be on the ground in Shanghai now."
"What a good plank road to repair the plank road in the open, secretly attack Chencang." Lin Quan thought for a while, sighed and said: "Captain Hu, let them go, we will go back."
"This..." Hu Xingbo hesitated for a moment, saluted Lin Quan, and then ordered everyone to retreat...
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Material Transportation Center.
"Has Mr. Bernard seen it?" Chen Yang was holding the phone and listening to the report from Koichi Nitta on the other side.
The efficiency of the Manchurian Railway was indeed very high. After agreeing to Chen Yang's request to provide ore, they quickly arranged for a train to transport the ore to the south.
When the goods arrived at the warehouse, Chen Yang immediately contacted Bernard to go and inspect them.
Whether this deal is successful or not is related to the plan of purchasing submarine design drawings later, so how can Chen Yang not take it seriously?
Fortunately, Bernard was also very eager for the mineral raw materials. When he heard that the goods had arrived in Shanghai, he hurried to check.
About an hour after hanging up the phone, Bernard rushed from the north city warehouse to Plum Blossom Building.
"Mr. Bernard, you seem to be more anxious than me." Chen Yang looked at Bernard, who was sweating profusely, and quickly stood up and invited him to sit down.
Bernard took a deep breath and said with admiration: "Mr. Chen, your ability really opened my eyes."
"The quantity and quality of this batch of ore exceeded my expectations."
"By the way, I have prepared the contract. Can we sign it now?"
Chen Yang raised his hand and said, “Mr. Bernard, you don’t have to worry so much. The goods have already been put into the warehouse. They won’t fly.”
"What I'm concerned about now is, when can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Feldman?"
Bernard hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, I am also waiting for his reply."
"I feel like Mr. Feldman seems to have some concerns."
"But don't worry, I should be able to convince him."
"That's good." Chen Yang closed the contract and returned it to Bernard, saying, "As long as Mr. Feldman is willing to meet, then there will be no problem with the contract."
"But now is not the time."
"Mr. Chen, aren't you being a little too realistic?" Bernard muttered with some dissatisfaction: "We have always cooperated very happily. Don't let a small thing ruin the relationship between the two sides."
"Don't you Chinese have a saying that talking about money hurts feelings..."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mr. Bernard, you are good at talking, but in my opinion, talking about feelings will cost money."
"The whole Shanghai market knows that I am just a businessman. You want to talk about feelings with me?"
Bernard was speechless for a while, then he stood up reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a meeting for you as soon as possible."
"But you must keep these ores for me."
