Chapter 100: Win-win
China is huge, and in the current era when there is no road network, faster railways, and airports everywhere, Lu Yuan knew the pain of difficult travel when he ran from Zhangjiakou to Shanghai. This time, after taking Hans's employment to go to Tang County, Lu Yuan still chose to enter Hebei from Tianjin as always, after all, he had already walked this road once. When he returned to Tianjin, Lu Yuan went to the German and American company as soon as possible, and the foreign manager who stayed in the company knew Lu Yuan, so Lu Yuan stayed in the German and American company that night.
"Old man, I came to you this time to ask for your help, and I won't let you work in vain, so I will follow the old rules, and I will take out a batch of weapons and ammunition for you as a reward." When I returned to Tianjin, I had to go to the underground party contact point on the same street as the German and American company, so Hutchison Tea House was the second stop in Tianjin, and sitting in front of Lu Yuan at the moment was Hutchison's shopkeeper Ma Baocheng.
Seeing Lu Yuan again, Ma Baocheng's eyes were no longer suspicious, but instead there was a strong sense of curiosity, what happened in Shanghai had already spread to Tianjin, and when Lu Yuan was in Tianjin, he was not a person who kept to himself. The weapons and ammunition that Lu Yuan gave to the Tianjin underground party as intelligence reward had already been sent away, but both the Tianjin underground party and the guerrillas who received the weapons were all amazed at the quantity and quality of the weapons and ammunition.
In Ma Baocheng's memory, he seemed to have never seen a young man like Lu Yuan, and Ma Baocheng, who was over 50 years old, naturally became curious about Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan is not porcelain, so he is naturally not afraid of being stared at by Ma Baocheng, but no matter who is stared at so strangely by an old man for a while, he may not be able to calm down sooner. In desperation, Lu Yuan only pretended to cough lightly a few times, and then took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Ma Baocheng.
"Shopkeeper, this is where I need your help with me, you can see if there are any problems first, I am very short of time this time, so I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, preferably no more than tomorrow." Maybe it was because Ma Baocheng's gaze at the moment frightened Lu Yuan, and after a few words of hurriedly explained, Lu Yuan left Hutchison quickly with the tea leaves that had been wrapped. After a cursory look at the pieces of paper handed over by Lu Yuan, Ma Baocheng did not waste time, and went directly to the pharmacy next door from the secret passage in the backyard.
"It seems that he is going to Tang County this time, otherwise he would not focus on asking about the situation in Tang County." After Wang Qingnian saw the piece of paper brought by Ma Baocheng, he quickly guessed the answer. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Qingnian immediately made a decision, "Report this situation, and at the same time clearly express our opinions to the superiors, this is an excellent opportunity to obtain weapons and ammunition supplies, and we should fully support it." ”
When Wang Qingnian and Ma Baocheng had a secret meeting in the backyard of the pharmacy, Lu Yuan, who had left Hutchison, had already taken the wrapped tea to the Jewish shoe store on another street, where Lu Yuan had ordered two pairs of combat boots when he was in Tianjin last time. It's already October, and I don't feel hot when I wear boots in Hebei, the journey to Tang County is not short, anyway, my storage space is still empty, and Lu Yuan doesn't mind bringing an extra pair of shoes that fit.
24 hours is not enough to make a pair of boots, but when Lu Yuan decided to take a ship to Tianjin, he sent a telegram to the foreign manager of the Dehua company in advance. Moreover, the shoe store also left Lu Yuan's shoe size and requirements here, so Lu Yuan came to the shoe store this time just to pick up the finished shoes. went to the shoe store, Lu Yuan also went to a tailor shop and a leather goods store, anyway, when Lu Yuan returned to the Dehua company, he already had several more bags in his hands.
"Sean, go get busy, just call me at dinner." The foreign manager of the Dehua company carefully opened the iron door to the basement with the key that never left him, and Lu Yuan went down the ladder to the basement alone. Compared with the basement in Shanghai, this basement in Tianjin seems to be larger, and the manager Hogg found is also very attentive, not only quietly cleaning this place every few days, but also buying a lot of materials according to Lu Yuan's requirements.
Lifting the cloth covering the lathe, Lu Yuan found that these machines were well maintained, and he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with the manager named Sean. Except for dinner time, Lu Yuan stayed in the basement almost until the early hours of the morning, because there were 200 explosive arrows in the basement waiting for Lu Yuan to reload with his own hands*. Lu Yuan, who was busy until late at night, did not get up late the next day, and after a simple breakfast, Lu Yuan went to Hutchison Tea House again, but he didn't see Ma Baocheng right away, but waited for a while before seeing Ma Baocheng appear in the tea house.
"Old man, what do you say over there?" Finding that Ma Baocheng's expression was not very good, Lu Yuan asked in a low voice. Ma Baocheng, who has a bitter self-knowledge, doesn't know if he can tell Lu Yuan about it, after all, this is the Tianjin underground party's own business, and they have been secretly investigating Lu Yuan's identity. After thinking about it for a while, Ma Baocheng simply gritted his teeth and told Lu Yuan about this embarrassing thing.
After listening to Ma Baocheng's narration, Lu Yuan was not shocked and laughed, "Old man, don't you underground party have a precautionary measure?" Not only do they have professional squads, but I also heard that there are scavenger units that I learned from Europe. As soon as a mutiny is detected, the scavenger forces will immediately attack or assassinate the mutineer before the damage spreads. Your underground party has also existed for so many years, I don't believe that you have no measures at all, and I personally think that this is not a problem. ”
Ma Baocheng was also amused by Lu Yuan's sneering, the guy who suddenly defected this time was a captain-level figure in the guerrilla areas around Tianjin, and this thing knew a lot about the guerrillas around Tianjin, including several secret transportation channels between the Tianjin underground party and the guerrilla area, so the Tianjin underground party was so nervous. "What's the use of being in a hurry? If you want me to say, just kill him directly, this is also a means and measure once and for all. Lu Yuan, who was stared at by Ma Baocheng, subconsciously answered, and as soon as these words came out, he immediately made Ma Baocheng get up and stand up.
"We'll give away the information you want this time, as long as you can help us take out this traitor." got up and walked around the table, Ma Baocheng suddenly made a bold decision, he decided to ask Lu Yuan to make a move. The Tianjin underground party has always been good at collecting intelligence, and there are actually few action team members in the city, especially even fewer good players who can escape after the assassination, Lu Yuan's words just now reminded Ma Baocheng, because Lu Yuan himself is a master.
Lu Yuan, who was extremely helpless, had no choice but to accept Ma Baocheng's request, because he had to get the information of Tang County from the Tianjin Underground Party, otherwise he would be black-eyed at that time. The process of finding the traitor is actually very simple, because the secret line planted by the Tianjin underground party inside the enemy has already sent information, and this guerrilla leader who defected to the enemy is currently being protected by the Imperial Alliance Army troops in Qingxian County, and will be escorted to Tianjin before dark to hand over to the special high school.
Lu Yuan promised Ma Baocheng that he would help, but his performance was somewhat unexpected by the Tianjin Underground Party, because Lu Yuan just asked the Tianjin Underground Party to confirm the specific time and approximate route of the traitor's arrival in Tianjin, but Lu Yuan himself drove a car around the world aimlessly. It wasn't until it was almost dark that Lu Yuan, who was eating in a French restaurant, suddenly received information that the traitor had been escorted into Tianjin by the Qingxian Imperial Army, and the destination would be the Japanese military police headquarters.
It was not the special high school that accepted the traitors, but the military police headquarters, and Lu Yuan, who learned the news, was somewhat surprised. Lu Yuan, who left the restaurant, immediately drove to the nearest street near the Japanese military police headquarters in Haiguang Temple, but fortunately, Lu Yuan, who did not waste time, finally rushed to a street corner that he had already seen in the afternoon before the Japanese escort team. Such a street entrance suitable for sniping from a high place, when Lu Yuan was wandering around in the afternoon, he identified several places, in addition to this, there were no less than two such places around the special high school of the Japanese army in Tianjin.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yuan used a heavy sniper rifle as soon as he got started this time, and the same process he had done in Shanghai, this was destined to be an attack without suspense. After the first shot of the heavy sniper rifle rang out, the Japanese military police headquarters a few streets away were already in disarray, some soldiers who had been ordered to rush to the banquet, and some Japanese soldiers who had found various excuses to take advantage of the opportunity to grind, because Lu Yuan had left too deep an impression on them in Tianjin last time, and some of them had firmly remembered the gunshots made when the heavy sniper rifles were fired.
Lu Yuan, who was on the roof of the street corner, did not intend to hide his strength this time, and in just one minute, he quickly fired more than 40 large-caliber bullets into the three trucks on the street. When the all-view map confirmed that the Japanese reinforcements were coming, Lu Yuan, who was not at ease, even turned the three trucks that kept dripping blood into the street into a raging fireball with explosive crossbow arrows at close range after going downstairs.
Lu Yuan's attack appeared too suddenly, from the time he quickly ran to the roof to shoot the first bullet to the time he completely left the street, the whole process was only a short period of less than three minutes, and this really came and went without a trace. The Japanese soldiers who came to the rescue could only look at the blood all over the ground and were annoyed, even if they blocked a few nearby street corners, they could not find any trace of the attackers, because Lu Yuan had already driven back to the American concession safely at this moment.
