MTL - Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 894, The Great Sage of Balance

 Attracting foreign investment is actually very difficult.

 It will definitely not work through formal channels. No one wants to come.

 Capitalists all want to make money.

 At present, in China, it is almost impossible to make money by engaging in industry.

 Only the compradors make a lot of money.

 So, we can only take the wrong path. It has to be done in a proper name.

 Can't touch the big comprador's cake yet.

 It’s okay to move small ones.

 It just so happens that Lawrence is a very suitable candidate.

 But Zhang Yong was indifferent. It really embodies the word "profit" vividly.

Son of a bitch! He wanted to curse so much.

 Lawrence vomited blood.

 Zhang Yong stood aside and turned a blind eye.

　　If you fight the main one, you will die. Since I get no benefit. Then you should die immediately.

 “That’s your business.”

 But I know that swearing is useless. Because now the initiative is in Zhang Yong's hands.

 “I’m going to die soon. How to communicate? How to send a telegram?”

 How to squeeze all the value out of this guy.

real.

 Thinking about how to control Lawrence.

"This is your business."

unbelievable. A gentle young man, fair and clean, seemingly harmless. Why are you clinging to him and not letting go?

"It's not my business?"

 “Poof!”

 He also accepted it.

 He is really going to die...

 The mind is spinning.

"I'm dying…"

Poor, he was once the most ferocious gangster in the western part of the beautiful country!

　　Evil people will have their own trials.

 Lawrence: "You asked me to speak?"

 Zhang Yong: “Suggest a plan.”

 Lawrence is as breathless as a gossamer.

 No sympathy.

 Lawrence is a wicked man. So is Zhang Yong. Just right.

 “You should at least take me to the hospital…”

“I don’t care. I just want a plan. Without a plan, it’s not good for me. Why should I save you?”

have no choice…

 I was extremely sad for a moment.

"Yes. You said it. As long as your plan satisfies me, I will send you to the hospital."

 He believes that there are not many people in this world who are more cruel than him. Until I met Zhang Yong.

 Lawrence was defeated.

Lawrence is a master of this kind of thing. He did one or two things like robbing homes, killing people and stealing goods almost every day.

 “I need to communicate with the other side. I need to send a telegram.”

 This matter is very important and must be finalized today.

 “I’m going to die soon…”

 He has resources.

"you…"

 He is not following the right path.

How can we not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

 Suddenly I remembered an old Chinese saying - a phoenix that sheds its hair is not as good as a chicken.

well…

 “You need to clear your identity.”

"snort!"

 “We can help you.”

"snort!"

"We are resisting Japanese aggression. We need assistance. So, if you can smuggle some of the production tools to China to help us produce weapons and ammunition, we will remember your contribution. On China's territory, We can ensure your safety and prevent you from being captured by the FBI as much as possible."

"You are a great speaker."

"And, within the next ten years, I guarantee that your criminal record in this beautiful country will be eliminated."

"impossible."

"I'm serious. Ten years. You can remember this time. If you can't do it, I, Zhang Yong, am willing to apologize to you."

"you swear."

"Okay. I, Zhang Yong, swear to God. In the next ten years, I will definitely find a way to eliminate Lawrence's criminal record in the beautiful country. Let him appear in public. If I can't do it, I, Zhang Yong, will give birth to a child without an asshole. Cutting off descendants..."

"That…"

 Lawrence finally believed it.

 He felt that the Chinese people's oath still had a disciplinary effect.

 In this case…

"Within this month, I can have all the lathes in the ammunition factory shipped. I happen to have a backup. Although it is old, it can still be used. There is also a batch of raw materials for producing bullets. It can produce about five million rounds of bullets. As long as Once it arrives smoothly and is assembled, Springfield rifle bullets can be produced. Is that okay?"

"make a deal."

 Zhang Yong's face immediately became happy.

look. If you had said this earlier, it would have saved us a lot of trouble. Cooperation must be based on sincerity.

 A lathe in an ammunition factory is really nothing to this beautiful country.

 During World War II, the United States produced a full 48 billion rounds of ammunition in less than four years. It is almost equal to that of other countries combined.

　　Not counting cannonballs and so on. If you count the shells, it is even more terrifying.

 The former arsenals have been converted to the production of heavy weapons. Bullets are all produced by ordinary small workshops.

 In other words, many small workshops in the beautiful country are actually equipped to produce bullets. It was only because of legal and market restrictions that it was not put into production.

  However, these restrictions and rules do not exist in China.

 Just think of it as a black factory.

 The output won’t be very large anyway. No one should have noticed.

 It doesn’t matter even if someone notices. There are no royalties on bullets. There is no threshold limit.

 There is only a cost limit.

 The cost of producing bullets in other factories is too high, so they will not be able to seize the market and will lose money.

 But in China. As long as you have bullets, cost is not an issue.

 The only drawback is that the lathes are all ready-made. Cannot change caliber. Only 7.62*63mm bullets can be produced.

 The national army generally uses 7.92*57mm Mauser rifle ammunition.

 The two are not compatible. Must be equipped separately.

 At that time, one or two infantry divisions may need to be specially equipped with Springfield rifles...

 “Ten years…”

“You have to believe me. Ten years later, I guarantee that you will be successfully cleared.”

 Zhang Yong is full of confidence.

 This is not his bragging. Nor is he condoning crime.

 After the Pearl Harbor incident, there was indeed a semi-amnesty bill that was not made public in the United States.

All criminals who have exceeded a certain prosecution period will be internally removed from the pursuit list after paying a certain amount of "war donations." Relevant authorities gave up the pursuit. They can appear like normal people.

 It does not mean that you have no sin. It’s me who doesn’t chase anymore. I won't arrest you if I see you.

Of course, being too high-profile is not acceptable. If you go and provoke the relevant departments by yourself, you are seeking your own death. Basically, as long as you don't commit another crime, you won't be hunted down again. Until you die. Then close the case completely.

 Speaking of which, it was also caused by the war.

 When the war began, the Japanese came with a fierce force, and the Americans did not dare to neglect them.

 Of course we must do our best to deal with it.

 Pardoning criminals who have exceeded a certain period of prosecution and asking them to donate money to support the military is also to go all out to win the war.

　In the face of war, a few criminals mean nothing. Naturally no one paid attention.

 Passed relevant secret laws and pardoned many people.

 “I hope…”

 “We’re going to the hospital now.”

 Zhang Yong is in a good mood.

  After all, it feels like I have done something meaningful for the country.

 Although he is a humble little person. However, if we can really build an ammunition factory, it will be considered a small achievement.

 Going from 0 to 1 is the most difficult. As long as the ammunition factory is established, it will be equivalent to 1. Then you can continue with 2, 3, 4…

 Send Lawrence to Tzu Chi Hospital.

 Using a fake identity, of course.

It is extremely easy for the Fuxing Society Secret Service to create several false identities.

With the fake identity covered, whether it is Godric or Rodhart, they want to find Lawrence again. No way.

 It’s a pity that Liu Xi was not seen at Tzu Chi Hospital.

 After a little digging, I learned that Liu Xi had resigned.

well…

Pity…

Perhaps there will be no chance to meet again.

 Alas, she is a Japanese female spy after all! Even though it's from the Navy. That's also a female spy...

 After professional treatment at the hospital, Lawrence is in much better spirits.

 Zhang Yong then started chatting with the other party.

 Speaking of his men in Texas, Lawrence was obviously a little worried.

 After all, he had not been seen for four years. Maybe someone under his command would be dissatisfied. Want to replace it.

 “Send their sons and daughters to Yale, to Harvard!”

"What?"

"I said. You can send some of your children to study at Yale or Harvard."

"Why?"

"In this way, they will cherish everything in front of them more. They will not take risks easily. They will not betray you easily, so as not to involve everything in the past. Then all the efforts will be wasted."

"But…"

“I’ve seen it in the newspaper. To get into Yale or Harvard, you only need to donate $100,000.”

"them…"

 “Integrating into the circles of Yale and Harvard can help you clear your name better.”

"All right!"

 Lawrence was tempted.

 At this moment, what I hope most is to clear my name. Otherwise, he has so much wealth, but he dare not use it and can only watch others enjoy it.

 What does it feel like?

  Anyway, he couldn't stand this feeling more and more.

 He was eager to return to his country.

 However, he knew very well that once he went back, he would be arrested immediately.

 At the same time, the opponents he had offended before would also kill him. They are scarier than the official ones.

 “So, you need my protection.”

“I’ll help you deal with the FBI and private investigators. I’ll also help you deal with unofficial pursuits.”

"Mr. Lawrence, you should believe that no one in this world wants you to live more than me. Because we need your help."

 Zhang Yong made two promises.

If you want to continuously transport lathes from the Beautiful Country, you must ensure that Lawrence is alive.

 This is the premise.

 There is no escape.

If it were in a beautiful country, he would not be able to see enough of Zhang Yong. It may die as soon as it appears.

 But, here, in China. He has the ability to protect himself.

 The bright ones cannot come to the dark ones.

 It doesn’t work if it’s legal, and it doesn’t work if it’s legal.

There are many things that do not require Zhang Yong to personally intervene.

Shanghai Beach is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, with three religions and nine currents, five hundred oceans, enough to kill a person...

 Stop it!

 Stop it!

 Perhaps things are not that bad after all?

  The FBI can also cooperate! Not to mention private detectives. The same goes for those who are chasing Lawrence.

 As long as there are enough interests, we can sit down and talk.

 After all, he, Zhang Yong, knows the development trend of the beautiful country in the next few decades. Who would have trouble with money?

As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, Zhang Yong, I can show you the bright road in the next few decades and ensure that each of you can live a rich life...

 Lawrence thought for a moment. I think so.

From the perspective of aid, Zhang Yong really didn’t want him to die like this.

 His safety is indeed guaranteed.

 So…

 Speak out the radio station's contact information readily. And, he drafted the telegram himself.

 Zhang Yong then arranged for someone to bring the radio station. Let Lawrence send the report himself. Lawrence himself could send a telegram. Quite skillful. After the telegram was sent, Zhang Yongcai took the radio station away. The radio stations were all captured by Tan organs. There are three in total. Zhang Yong is not ready to hand it over. Keep it for yourself.

 The processing is almost the same. Someone was left to guard him at Tzu Chi Hospital. Then he returned to the Madiel Hotel.

 It seems that Mrs. Lin and Zhu Yuan's calls have not been returned.

 At the front desk of the hotel, Zhang Yong did not see Aphra, only Yurkina.

This Belarusian girl is also very beautiful. But rather aloof. Moreover, Zhang Yong believes that she should be very good at fighting.

Perhaps, behind the darkness, she is a fatal killer.

 “Mr. Zhang, I have your message.”

"Thanks."

 Zhang Yong brought it over.

 It was found to be an envelope. The signature is the character "林". Mrs. Lin?

Open. Pull out the letter paper inside.

Well…

The character 　　 seems to be a ghostly symbol.

Well, this Mrs. Lin is not pretending. It should have been written by her herself.

 It’s just that the content is a bit weird—

Please go to the Building Materials Street and have a look...

 Frowning.

Confuse?

Going to Building Materials Street?

 What happened to Building Materials Street?

 Building Materials Street should actually be called Jixiang Road, but Zhang Yong had no impression of it.

There seem to be a lot of warehouses over there...

 At this time, of course it is time to go back to Shanghai Station and ask. So we took the team back to Shanghai Station and took a rest.

The biggest trouble at the 026 logistics base is that the information is not well-informed. Gathering information is certainly not as good as the Secret Service.

 Zhang Yong came to Jia Tengying personally. Asked about Building Materials Street.

Jia Tengying was confused: "Building Materials Street? Is it nothing big? I'll send someone to check it out."

 So he sent someone to investigate.

 As a result, before leaving the house, Chen Gongshu came in.

 He happened to know about the Building Materials Street.

“It was said that there was a fire on Building Materials Street last night. A row of warehouses was burned down. The report said that the damage was heavy.”

 “Burn down the warehouse?”

"Yes. That's what the police report said."

 “Then it’ll be okay.”

 Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

 The fire must have nothing to do with the Fuxing Society Secret Service.

Mrs. Lin didn’t know what she was doing.

 “Ling ring ring…”

 “Ling ring ring…”

 Suddenly, the phone rang.

 Chen Gongshu went to answer the phone. Then he turned around and looked at Zhang Yong.

 Zhang Yong:? ? ?

 Watch what I do?

 I just came.

Isn’t it possible that the phone call over there caught you before your **** is still hot? A life-threatening call?

result…

“Shaolong, Station Chief Li from the headquarters, please answer the phone.”

"oh?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised. Was it Li Boqi calling?

 He can get out of bed now?

　　Oh, even if you don’t get out of bed.

 He Zhang Yong came to Shanghai. Ignore Jinling.

He is the only one who continues to take charge of the Jige Alley headquarters temporarily. It should be fine for making and receiving phone calls.

 Hum, it’s really a life-threatening call…

past.

　　Take the microphone.

 “Team leader…”

“The warehouse on Building Materials Street has been burned down. Go and investigate.”

 “What does fire have to do with us?”

 “Go and investigate. This is an order. Go immediately.”

"yes."

 Zhang Yong hurriedly agreed.

 Li Boqi’s words are non-negotiable.

 Others have said it. This is an order. Commands are only for execution.

 But it’s strange. What does the fire have to do with the Fuxing Society Secret Service? Or appoint yourself to investigate? How strange…

 Hand down the microphone.

Return to Jia Tengying.

Have to ask.

 I always feel like something is wrong.

“Webmaster, when is the general balance sheet?”

“You said that the fire in the warehouse on Building Materials Street may be related to the deficit in the accounts?”

 “The great sage who settles the accounts!”

"flat…"

Jia Tengying was at a loss for a moment, and then she came to her senses.

 Oh, Zhang Yong is talking about Monkey King!

Huh? The great sage who settles the accounts? This title is a bit interesting.

 What did Sun Wukong do? Known as the Great Sage of Balance...

Oh, making a big fuss in heaven...

 After all the devastation, everyone’s bills can be looked at...

 “Shouldn’t there be an inventory in the middle of the year?”

 “It should be the end of the year!”

　　“Then it’s not because of the account issue?”

"this…"

 Jia Tengying cannot judge.

 Zhang Yong then led the team and set off. Go to the site and check it out.

I felt secretly resentful on the road. There are only nine inspectors of my dignified Military and Political Committee in the country. How many warehouse fires should I investigate?

joke…

 Do I don’t want to lose face?

 Came to the scene angrily. Found an acquaintance.

have met before. It should be from the Song family. But don't know the name. So he nodded towards the other party.

The man immediately ran towards Zhang Yong. Very familiar look.

“Commissioner Zhang, you are finally here.”

"Who are you…"

 “My name is Song Shouyuan.”

“There was a fire in the warehouse, did something burn down...”

"No."

"No?"

"The warehouse is empty. We set the fire ourselves. What was burned were all dry wood and sundries. We piled it up ourselves."

"ah?"

“Commissioner Zhang, this is the list...”

"What?"

“The warehouse is empty. Nothing has been burned. However, Commissioner Zhang is also asked to report to the superiors that all the supplies on the list have been burned..."

"Well…"

 For a moment, Zhang Yong was suffocated.

A series of ridiculous thoughts flashed through my mind. semi-consciously. vaguely.

It took him a while before he gradually understood.

　　　　, and I want to use it as a gun...

“Also, tonight, we are going to set fire to the Sihang Warehouse, and I would like to ask you, Commissioner, to report it as well…”

"ah?"
