Chapter 218 Gossip
The gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and ammunition prepared by Yoshio Shinozuka were still piled in the warehouse, but no one expected that Li Yunlong actually wanted them.
"Forget it, let's agree to them first and see who they want."
Yan Xishan conveyed Shinozuka Yoshio's reply to Li Yunlong.
Soon a list was placed on Yoshio Shinozuka's desk.
Most of the people on this list are being held in various prisons in Shanxi, while some are under house arrest or detained in Shanghai.
And just as Li Yunlong had just begun to prepare, most of these people were progressive people, technical talents and celebrities from all walks of life.
Yoshio Shinozuka was in a dilemma when looking at the list. On one side were old friends returning to their homeland, and on the other side were prisoners of the empire.
"Okay, let them give us the handover method!"
As the middleman, Yan Xishan quickly brokered the deal.
The personnel in Shanxi were secretly handed over to guerrillas in various places.
All personnel in Shanghai and other places were handed over to the underground party.
Li Yunlong also kept his promise and wrapped Kenjiro Keisuke's body in sackcloth and handed it over to Yan Laoxi.
Yan Laoxi's help to the Japanese this time was not in vain, this favor was counted on Yan Laoxi.
The body of Keisuke Miura was immediately sent to Taiyuan by his adjutant, but Yan Laoxi had no intention of leaving.
"Commander Yan, we are almost done. Would you like to stay and have some food?"
Yan Xishan knew that Li Yunlong was ordered to leave. He had finished his own personal affairs, but had not yet dealt with the official business in Chongqing.
"Commander Li, don't be impatient! Let's finish the things in the north and then talk about Chongqing."
Li Yunlong looked at Yan Xishan's calmness and spit in his heart. He didn't expect that this old guy would just stop pretending? Jumping back and forth?
Isn't this a typical political broker?
"Wow, I didn't expect Commander Yan to have so many connections. One moment he's dealing with the Japanese, the next moment he's dealing with Chongqing?"
"I was asked to do this. Let's get back to the point. This time, the Independent Column's aviation division has done a great job, shooting down dozens of enemy planes, which has made us proud and enhanced our country's prestige. The one from Chongqing, please ask your pilots to fly their planes to Chongqing for a road show, accept the award, and boost morale!"
Wang Meng coughed lightly, it turned out that Chongqing was planning to use the plane.
It seems that he wants to see his "three tricks"?
"Commander Yan, our aviation division has been busy with training recently and cannot be away. You see these planes taking off and landing every day, we are so busy! We are training so hard to fight the Japanese, please forgive us!"
Old Man Yan sighed. The area within a dozen miles around the airport was under martial law. How could he watch the planes take off and land?
Indeed, ever since the aviation division was exposed, Li Yunlong has surrounded the airport with three layers of troops inside and outside.
Not only is there an airport garrison battalion, but some troops from the armored division are also stationed around the airport.
In the area around the airport, there were more independent column soldiers in camouflage uniforms than weeds.
When Yan Laoxi came, he also wanted to go in and take a look under the banner of the Second War Zone Command.
But before they reached the core area, they were stopped by the sentries along the way.
"Sir, there is a military exercise going on ahead. Please take a detour!"
After saying this, the sentry stood in the middle of the road, even with his finger lightly on the trigger.
Yan Laoxi was a brave man and would not suffer a loss in front of him. After trying a few times, he gave up the idea.
"Chief of Staff Wang, this is not what the Second War Zone meant. This is really what Chongqing is thinking."
"Commander Yan, when did Chongqing become so concerned about our Shanxi affairs? Do they really want to comfort us?"
I'm afraid that even Yan Laoxi himself wouldn't believe this statement. The man in Chongqing wished that the Independent Column would be wiped out by the Japanese, so how could he possibly comfort them?
"Commander Li, Chief of Staff Wang, my friend in Chongqing told me a little gossip. Are you interested in listening to it?"
Li Yunlong and his companions became suspicious. They didn't get along well with Yan Laoxi, so why was he so enthusiastic?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. We will all be in Shanxi from now on. We will see each other soon. If anything happens in the future, I will ask you to take care of me."
It turned out that Yan Xishan was leaving a way out for himself. After all, Chongqing and the Independent Column had blocked his way.
As long as both sides use force to push him to death, he will probably have no choice but to go into the desert and feed camels.
"Commander Yan, what kind of news is this?"
"My friend in Chongqing told me that it was the people from Country M who wanted to know about our air battle. It is said that they are very interested in our independent column's air battle and its great victory!"
Li Yunlong frowned. People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. How come they were targeted by Country M?
I'm afraid only Wang Meng knows the ins and outs of this.
The F6F Hellcat is a slightly advanced model. Currently, the United States only has a prototype. There may be some key issues that have not been resolved, and it has not yet been officially put into service.
Therefore, Country M urgently needed to find inspiration from aircraft that could defeat the Zero fighter and fill in the gaps.
At this time, the independent column jumped out and caught the attention of Country M.
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle, and everyone had their own thoughts.
In the end, it was Zhao Gang who broke the silence first.
"Commander Yan, thank you for sharing the news. But our aviation division does have a lot of training tasks right now. Otherwise, let's wait a little longer. If there is a break in training later, we will definitely report to Chongqing!"
Yan Xishan nodded helplessly. This was the only way now.
The relationship between Chongqing and him was not just about living together. When the disaster really came, he ran away without hesitation.
Therefore, when working for Chongqing, one naturally prefers to stop at the right time.
But this time we managed to deal with the Japanese, so it was worth the trip.
Yan Xishan did not stay long. After a few pleasantries, he prepared to return to his base to report to Chongqing.
Li Yunlong watched Yan Xishan's convoy leave, feeling a little worried.
Now he just wants to make a fortune quietly and is disgusted with being in the spotlight.
It’s better to turn off the lights and eat dumplings alone in bed than to wander around outside wearing fancy clothes.
"Mengzi, what do you think about this?"
"Commander, I don't think this is a bad thing. If we establish contact with Country M, we can sell them our penicillin and weapons and equipment!"
When Li Yunlong heard that there was money to be made, his eyes lit up.
After all, their current production capacity of various materials, in addition to meeting their own needs, also has a large surplus.
Although these domestic forces all want it, none of them can afford the price.
Li Yunlong still said the same thing: if you want to make money, you should make money from rich people.
Even if the poor smashed a few pounds of bones and sold them, they wouldn't be able to get much money.
"Then let's take the initiative to go to Chongqing?"
"no!"
