Did Brother Ma come to work in the morning, that is to say, the drawings of the enemy's important facilities, Hu Yuexin has not yet done it. He thought, how to support Manager Zhang today, Zhang Guangcai has been mentioning more and more frequently these days to punish workers and strict factory discipline, if he doesn't say some reasonable reasons for favoring Ma Xiaodi, it seems that it is not good to continue to fool, but as a boss, it is difficult to find such an explanation. Just over halfway through this month, Ma Xiaodi has been absent from work for 5 days, not to mention this era, catching up with the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in a few years, and the first batch of layoffs will have to be made.

Manager Zhang quietly came to the outside room, put down his briefcase, and then began to crackle and plan to settle accounts, without even coming in to say hello to Lin Xiuxuan.

Lin thought about the excuse of relieving the siege for Brother Ma, and took the initiative to come out and say good morning to Zhang Guangcai, waiting for Lao Zhang to ask, but found that Zhang Guangcai was very abnormal today, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were a little flickering, and he said very little. Lin is very good at reading people, especially for people like Zhang Guangcai, who are not very good at pretending, Zhang's strange behavior made him immediately feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Lao Zhang, I still have to leave today, you can keep an eye on the things in the factory."

"Boss, you're busy, you're busy."

"Will that ship on the slipway be finished today?"

"There are also some cabins with porthole glass that have not been installed, and the super-thick glass from Mitsubishi Asahi Glass Company* has not arrived, so I will call to urge."

"Then don't pretend, those glasses don't matter, they have to go into the water tomorrow. I found a buyer and they can't wait. ”

"But this ship has been registered with the port authority in the first half of the year, and the owner of the ship has been changed, and it needs to be ...... according to the regulations."

"Nowadays, it is not easy to have a buyer, and the buyer wants to hang the Panamanian flag and save a lot of trouble."

"Panamanian flags on river boats?"

"It's a buyer's business, we don't have to worry about it."

"Boss, won't ...... Where is it sold to Chongqing? As soon as Manager Zhang spoke, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly remedied, "I...... I mean, if you don't register, the boat won't be able to get out of Jiujiang or Wusongkou. In those places, there are inspection gunboats. ”

"All you have to do is get the boat out of the water."

Lin put down his words and turned to come out. Manager Zhang's expression was nervous and his words flickered, it is indeed worth being vigilant, this matter must be told to Lu Qingshan, so that he can pay more attention to Zhang Guangcai, but he has no time to deal with this matter today, and now he must go to bring Xu Chong back, if he has time, he has to go to Asia again to see what Adams has to say. The plan of attack against the Japanese headquarters must also be drawn up and specially drilled, in short, time waits for no one, and it is impossible for him to worry about everything.

It took him a few hours to get to the warehouse in the concession. Since intercepting the Japanese convoy, his small motorboat did not dare to drive on the Huangpu River during the day (at night he still relied on night vision devices and did not turn on searchlights), and even did not stop at Shiliupu in normal times, but stopped in a nearby fork in the estuary to avoid being seen too much and arousing suspicion.

After setting sail, they turned into the tributary of Lujiabang, and after a while, away from the main channel, they hung the flag that everyone avoided, and walked all the way to the west. In the afternoon, Xu Chong and others were received at Wulitang, Cangqiao, west of Songjiang, and they spent 48 hours in the wild, using propaganda materials abandoned all the way, and a radio station that did not skip frequencies and was not encrypted, and the enemy could hear it, to make clear calls to mislead the enemy, and I did not know what kind of means worked, in short, more than 1,000 enemies went all the way to Taihu Lake.

Of course, a bad side effect is that if there is a next operation, it will be difficult to move the men and horses from the southwest direction, because the enemy has deployed 1,500 men in a network in the southwest, and these troops usually stay in various strongholds and do not go to the countryside, which must be taken into account when planning the next move.

Xu Chong's ability to survive in the wild is very strong, not tired at all, he excitedly told the team leader that last night in the jungle in the west of Songjiang, he actually ran into 3 South China tigers, and he was able to meet tigers around Shanghai, which was really unexpected, he also deliberately took a photo with an infrared lens, collected a few hairs, and said that he took it out and showed it to Lin, where did Lin look at the tiger leisurely, and glanced at it hastily, in the dim background, it was really a tigress with shining eyes with two tiger cubs. He suddenly felt that his team members were full of confidence.

Back at the warehouse, it was already night, a few of them rested on the second floor of the warehouse, and as soon as the morning dawned, Lin Xiuxuan left and went to the Bund to find Adams. He first called Adams nearby, and then lingered for a while before entering the lobby of the Asia Oil Company, and glanced at the price of New York crude oil on the blackboard in front of him, which had risen a few points from the previous day, and it seemed that it was also due to the war.

Adams was dangling at the door, his sharp eyes saw Lin Xiuxuan, and hurriedly greeted him, his face looked good today, obviously it had something to do with the arrival of the Soviet oil tanker.

The two went upstairs while greeting each other, and Lin suddenly realized that someone nearby was speaking Japanese English, and a familiar figure came down from above, and he quickly checked his face.

Passing by was Kinoshita Daisa, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and there were two Englishmen and a Japanese in kimono in front of him, and the status of that Japanese was obviously above Kinoshita. This group of people said that there was a smile passing by the side, and Lin's reaction was faster than a tenth of a second, and he was not seen, which can be regarded as a thrill.

The two entered the office, Lin asked about the arrival time of the tanker, and Adams told him with confidence that it would be there tomorrow night, or the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and that the disagreement on board would settle faster than expected, and that some of the Ukrainian crew members did not return after leaving Hong Kong, but this made it easier for the captain to control the situation.

"Speaking of Captain Alexander Ivanovich Zakharov, how to say that, Ne, is a rigid, boring fellow, who, like all those who are dazed and believe in communism, loves his country even more than himself, you know, such a person is incomprehensible. He wanted to bring oil to the northern ports, as the Soviet government wanted, which violated our long-term contract with the USSR Ministry of Foreign Commerce; Adams said, walked to the wine cabinet in the office, and poured a glass of wine for Lin Xiuxuan and himself.

"The spirit of contract is the opportunity for our world to function, the Soviet Union, which is still far from the civilized world, and they feel that it is normal to tear up the contract at any time according to the change of events, and we sent a strongly worded telegram to the Soviet Ministry of Commerce, reminding them that in times of war, they should not continue to make enemies in the traditional business field, and finally they changed their minds and decided to deliver the goods on time." Adams said smugly.

The stone in Lin's heart finally landed.

But Zakharov said the loading and unloading must be completed as soon as possible to avoid a recurrence of the incident when it stopped in Hong Kong. You know, an iron-fisted captain can control the situation at sea, but the longer he stays in port, the crew is prone to rebellion. Especially on Soviet ships, there were always a lot of such things. I think that the necessary additional funds may be inevitable," he said tentatively, "and as the person in charge of this business, I will try to avoid such a thing, and of course you must know that there will always be exceptions; The Russians, in particular, who work for state companies, are not paid much and do not have the necessary incentives, so they must be given some private benefits. ”

Adams passed over the glass and continued to gush, at the end of the day, it was still money. Lin's mind was still on Kinoshita Daisa, who suddenly appeared, and he didn't know why he suddenly appeared here, whether it would have something to do with him, but he didn't listen to Adams much. In short, Zakharov's telegram with Shell does not mention the need to add money, and this passage is undoubtedly added by Adams.

"Okay, I can make a modest increase in investment, but not too much." Lin sighed, as if he had no choice but to accept the reality, in fact, he didn't care about money, he just wasn't used to being tricked, but judging from the telegram of the Red Cossack intercepted by 419, there was such a thing as a crew rebellion. This is not the time to be stingy, and anything that could lead to unhealthy problems should be avoided.

"Great, I've rarely seen such a reasonable merchant as you, it's all to blame for this damn war, it's not easy for anyone."

"Mr. Adams, when I went upstairs just now, I seemed to hear someone say Japanese, you still have business with the Japanese?"

"Doing business with the Japanese? No, no, the Japanese do not do business, they are only good at producing defective products and monopolizing trade. Adams turned to hateful and said, clearly angry with the Japanese, "They have stifled all the free trade in the Chinese market, raw silk, tobacco, cotton, grain...... The Japanese forcibly buy Chinese rice at a low price to buy it to Japan, and then ship the low-priced Thai rice to China to buy it at a high price, this is not business, this is robbery. Completely contrary to the norms of free trade, this is another opportunity for the world to function. It's a pity that we have to deal with these guys, Soviets, Japanese. ”
