Chapter 35: Discord

The matter was finally done, Lu Yuan held back the excitement in his heart, and nodded blankly in the face of Anderson's face full of urgency. After clarifying the other party's attitude, Lu Yuan endured the joy of his temperament, and Lu Yuan chatted with Anderson for a while, and then got up to say goodbye and leave. "Lao Xu, you would never have imagined that Anderson had already agreed to my suggestion just now, and you should have another channel to obtain arms in the future, how should you thank me for my efforts?"

After leaving Hans's bar, Lu Yuan immediately called Xu Huanshan, and Lu Yuan could hear on the phone that Xu Huanshan should also be ecstatic. The situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China is deteriorating day by day, and the Eighth Route Army is restricted by weapons and equipment and cannot expand the scale of its troops. Lu Yuan also said on the phone the list that Anderson handed over to him, but Lu Yuan didn't want to give this list to Xu Huanshan, compared to the underground party, Lu Yuan felt that he was more suitable to carry out this so-called punishment action.

Anderson's list for Lu Yuan contained more than 30 names and addresses, most of whom were Japanese, and the others were also members of Chinese descent in the Japanese puppet secret service. Lu Yuan believes that there is no temptation from Anderson to himself, but Lu Yuan doesn't care about the temptation from Anderson, originally he was going to assassinate the members of the Japanese puppet secret service, with the information provided by Anderson, his actions will only be faster and more successful.

Returning to his residence with the list, Lu Yuan carefully studied the people and addresses on the list, and then decided to attack the Japanese on the list first. In just three days, there were many shootings on the streets of Shanghai, most of which were shot by Japanese, in addition to a certain number of traitor spies. The situation in Shanghai was made even more bizarre by the successive shootings, and the Japanese strongly protested against it, but they did not have any clues about the attackers.

In three days, Lu Yuan shot more than 40 people in a row in the concession and the Japanese-occupied area, although there were still a few Japanese on the list who slipped through the net, but Anderson was very satisfied with this, thinking that Lu Yuan's operational efficiency had achieved the purpose of warning the Japanese. "Doctor, now that you've agreed with the efficiency of my actions, shouldn't we talk about radio?" Meeting with Anderson again in Hans's bar, and after listening to Anderson's praise, Lu Yuan made his own request.

In the warehouse that Anderson provided to Lu Yuan before, there was no radio station urgently needed by the underground party, and Anderson always said that the radio would be shipped from the mainland of the United States, but after the other party delayed it again and again, Lu Yuan no longer believed Anderson. "Lu, you can't remind me about the radio every time you meet me, I've already said that the radio will be shipped from the mainland of the United States. But you know, there is still a sea between the United States and China, and it always takes time to cross the ocean. Anderson, who was asked by Lu Yuan about the radio station, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and Lu Yuan could only roll his eyes at Anderson.

"Lu, let's not talk about this for now, I recently heard that someone in the black market in Shanghai has sold some information documents related to the Japanese army. You know the nature of my job, my superiors are very interested in these documents, but unfortunately, no one in the black market knows where these documents come from. So, I'd like to ask you guys to help me find the sellers of these documents. Perhaps to show his sincerity, Anderson spoke, took out two gold bars and placed them in front of Lu Yuan.

While reaching out to take the gold bar, Lu Yuan glanced at Hans without moving, except for some of the Japanese documents in the secret warehouse that Xu Huanshan had taken away, the rest had already been given to Hans. Anderson just said the beginning, Lu Yuan had already guessed that the person who sold those information documents in the black market was Hans, but Lu Yuan couldn't imagine why Hans had such a big courage to dare to sell those terrible things in the Shanghai black market.

When Lu Yuan secretly looked at Hans, Hans's heart was actually very depressed, he didn't expect that it was not the Japanese who came to the door, but Anderson, a more difficult guy. Hans's heart kept drumming, but he couldn't see the slightest abnormality on his face, and Lu Yuan only glanced at him, but he didn't say anything more in front of Anderson, which made Hans feel relieved. "Okay, I'll arrange for my people to investigate this matter, but I want to know, are you planning to make a deal with the other party or do you have other plans?" Lu Yuan put the gold bar in his pocket, and when he nodded at Anderson, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyes at Hans.

"What do you want to do, old man? Didn't we say okay, those things can't be sold in Shanghai? When Hans sent Anderson away and returned to the office, Lu Yuan changed his face. The Japanese have too much power in Shanghai, and there are also a lot of people in the black market, so if you do something like this, sooner or later you will have to carry the Japanese behind your back and beat you to death. Lu Yuan almost hysterically expressed his dissatisfaction with Hans, but Hans didn't pay attention to Lu Yuan's hysterical face at all.

"Lu, this incident was definitely an accident, I didn't want to sell those things in Shanghai. I can assure you that even if Anderson had those things, he never got them from me. Hans never admitted that it was his own mistakes that attracted Anderson's attention, and Lu Yuan could only report this, and he was not familiar with the Shanghai black market, and Hans was whatever he said.

"Old man, you'd better be careful, don't forget the danger just by making money. I have heard that the Americans and Japan have always had good relations, and that there has always been a secret agreement between them, do you think that the Americans would suspend their trade with the Japanese for the sake of a few overseas intelligence agents? You know, it's a business of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and a few lives aren't worth that much money. Hans took the initiative to take out his treasured cigar and handed one to Lu Yuan, who softened his expression and began to persuade Hans after hearing the words.

"According to the information I have learned, some of the Western intelligence agents in Shanghai have been secretly in contact with the Japanese intelligence agencies. Although I don't know what level of intelligence they exchange with each other, I can be sure that among these Western intelligence agents, there must be double agents or three agents. If you think about it, if this Dr. Anderson is one of them, if he knows that you have something to do with it, do you think it is possible that even your German intelligence services will know about it? ”

Lu Yuan's series of questions made a cold sweat break out on Hans's back, if his superiors knew that in order to make money, he even took out the Japanese military intelligence and sold it on the black market, his fate would definitely not be better. Seeing that Hans was silent, Lu Yuan immediately softened his tone and continued, "But don't think so much, only you and I know about that matter, if I don't say it, if you don't say it, no one will know, but you have to deal with that black market agent of yours, at least don't let him talk nonsense." ”

"Or we could divert Anderson from it in other ways, like using the Soviets." Hans pondered for a while before he finally came up with a way to distract the Americans. "The Soviets also have an intelligence network in Shanghai, and I know several of their secret bases, and I can pass on some information documents to the Soviets through a third party, and then let them attract the attention of the Americans." The method that Hans figured out made Lu Yuan speechless, but this was finally a solution, and Lu Yuan said that he had no objection to it.

Leaving Hans's bar, Lu Yuan went to meet Xu Huanshan, and as soon as the two met, Xu Huanshan immediately asked about the radio, and Lu Yuan had to repeat what Anderson told him again. "Damn, none of these big foreign noses are simple, and it looks like they're going to use these radios to tie us to their ships." Xu Huanshan made no secret of his complaints and dissatisfaction with the Americans, and Lu Yuan had nothing to do about it.

"What can we do otherwise, we can't produce our own radio stations, so we can only rely on external channels." Lu Yuan smiled and persuaded Xu to return to the mountain. "But it's okay, at least you've got a batch of munitions, although they are all weapons replaced by the U.S. Marine Corps, but those don't cost money, it's better than your people to continue to fight with the old sleeves." Lu Yuan's words don't sound very good, but this is really true.

"If only there were more, said the comrades in Tianjin, those arms were only enough to arm a company, and there was very little ammunition." Lu Yuan did not participate in the transfer and reception of that batch of arms, so he didn't know the truth, but Xu Huanshan didn't treat Lu Yuan as an outsider, so he simply told the truth. Hearing the truth that Xu Huanshan took the initiative to say, Lu Yuan was also stunned, he didn't expect Anderson to be so picky, so he only gave enough ammunition to arm one company.

"Lao Xu, otherwise, it's okay, you give me an address outside Shanghai. If I can get the arms, I'll send them directly to the place you said, but let's say first, I'm not going to go where it's too far away. In order to confuse Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan's practical knowledge was impossible for him to tell Xu Huanshan that he had a storage space of dozens of cubic meters, which could easily carry a large amount of arms and materials and send them anywhere without attracting the slightest attention.

Xu Huanshan didn't seem to notice the deep meaning in Lu Yuan's words, and before the two parted, Xu Huanshan gave Lu Yuan an address. One day out of the house, Lu Yuan's harvest was only two gold bars, but when he returned to his residence, Lu Yuan immediately became busy, and he immediately counted how many weapons and ammunition there were in the basement. In order to ensure the smooth and successful assassination operation in the past three days, before the operation, Lu Yuan took out all the excess things in the storage space and hid them in the basement, among which the Japanese-style weapons and ammunition that Lu Yuan had seized during the melee in Hongkou District were exposed.
