Chapter Thirty-Four: Secret Meeting (1)

  Tuo Lai Si and Shi Mi Si saw Wang Chang Hu's convulsive laughter, their hearts were extremely uneasy; Zhao Yu hurriedly helped up Wang Chang Hu and seriously said: "Boss, are you okay?"

  Wang Changhu smiled and whispered in his ear, "You go back and call a few brothers to take down Smith and bring him to the command center. I'll deal with him when I get back tonight." Zhao Yu said softly, "Yes". He turned around and left.

  Wang Changhu's outburst shocked several of his brothers and the Liu sisters, and all those close to him gathered around him. By the time everyone had arrived, Wang Changhu was almost smiling again.

  He looked around and said: "You few don't disperse now, Xu Yingfa, Hua Fuer follow me to the Tiger Hall, others protect my wife well, did you hear?"

  Everyone replied: "Yes".

  Wang Changhu patted the shoulders of Smith and Torres, saying: "I'm going to go study some things with General Shao now, I'll take my leave, hope we can meet again."

  The two of them stared blankly at Wang Changhu, who had returned to normal, unsure of what to say. Wang Changhu turned around and walked several steps before Smith reacted, running to the front of him and saying: "Mr. Wang, didn't you say you wanted to buy silver?"

  "No," said Wang Changhu, waving his hand, "let's talk about it tomorrow. I bid you farewell, Mr. Smith."

  "However, I have to return to the United States tomorrow morning. Shall we talk now, Mr. Wang?" said Smith.

  Wang Changhu smiled and said: "No, I'll talk about it tomorrow if we're going to talk about it tomorrow. Sorry, please make way."

  Smith had no choice but to step aside, and Wang Changhu walked towards the Tiger Hall.

  The young general was listening to the attendant's report on the strange events of tonight's banquet. After a while, the attendant mentioned that someone had sold chamber pots at his banquet, and he frowned and asked: "Whose people are selling chamber pots? Why didn't you stop them?"

  The attendant said, "It seems to be Captain Wang's people. Our people went up to stop them, but they called Zhao Yu to squeeze and run away. We didn't manage it again. However, those few are very powerful. More than ten night pots were sold for more than $100,000. It made us stunned. I think only they can do such a thing."

  The young general looked at the attendant in surprise and asked, "How did they sell them?"

  The attendant said: "The most expensive night pot is said to be the one used by Cao Cao and Liu Bei to cook wine, which sold for about $200,000; secondly, the largest night pot is said to be the one from which Sun Jian retrieved the imperial jade seal, this one sold for $180,000.

  The third night pot legend has it that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had a falling out over it, which led to the Xuanwu Gate Incident, ultimately making Li Shimin emperor; this one sold for $18,000. The fourth night pot is said to have been used by Wu Zetian...

  The young general's face twitched with rage, and when he heard the fourth one, he could no longer bear it. He slammed his hand on the table and said: "Shut up! Wu Zetian was a woman, what use is that thing?"

  The attendant officer immediately shut his mouth.

  Shao Shuai walked back and forth in the house a few times and said: "Is there any news about Wang Changhu's troops?"

  The attendant officer said cautiously: "There is also a lieutenant colonel named Huang Yihu who ate all the steaks in our banquet hall and drank all kinds of wine. Later, he adjusted a batch in the dance hall, and this side was a bit more crowded. Otherwise, even if it was for eating, the banquet on this side would have been eaten by Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yihu."

  "General Liu's side is okay?"

  The attendant officer replied, "It is said that the checks that have been collected are over 300,000 yuan, but now they are all in the hands of a man named Hu Jingzhong. Liu's hand only has a list of specific appointments. I think Liu miscalculated again this time."

  "Shao Shuai turned his head and asked: 'Why?'"

  The attendant officer replied, "That Hu Zhong captain said when he was collecting the money that Miss is very precious! When dating and eating, someone needs to be by her side for protection. In case of any unexpected situation, several weapons need to be brought along. The dating location will be set at the Liu family's large courtyard, and the dining location will be determined separately. However, from what I heard, it seems like they want to open a special restaurant just to make money off these people."

  Young Master Liu sighed and said: "This time I've made a wedding dress for Wang Changhu, who knows if he'll run away with it!"

  At this time, the soldier at the door shouted: "Report, Colonel Wang has arrived."

  The young general sat in the main seat with a calm and collected expression, saying: "Let him come in."

  Wang Changhu walked in, saluted and said: "Wang Changhu has arrived under orders, please instruct!"

  The young general looked at him, shook his head and said helplessly: "Sit down, you little devil has made military exploits, but you can't sell night pots at my banquet?"

  "Alright, alright, General," said Wang Changhu, his face reddening. "I'm not too clear about this matter either, but I guarantee that next time we won't sell chamber pots."

  The slightly embarrassed young man smiled and said: "What about selling chamber pots?"

  Wang Changhu was about to speak, but General Shao waved his hand and said: "Tiger, I'm short of money now, but not as much as you think. If you keep doing this, it will damage your reputation, do you know that?"

  Wang Changhu lowered his head and stopped speaking.

  Shao Shuai looked at Wang Changhu and said nothing, then asked him: "How was the conversation with that American?"

  Wang Changhu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "We didn't talk much, but from him I learned a way to get rich."

  The young marshal suddenly became interested and asked: "What kind of way?"

  Wang Changhu recounted the events of the Silver Law Case.

  "What are you planning to do then?"

  Wang Changhu said to his attendant: "Bring me a map of China."

  The attendant officer took out a map of China, spread it on the round table in the Tiger Hall and said: "By 1934, silver will flow from North China, Guangdong, Fujian and other southern provinces to the US or UK markets. I'll be responsible for intercepting the overland silver outflow from North China, while you, Young Marshal, will intercept the maritime silver outflow from South China. We'll then hand over the intercepted silver to your Border Industry Bank for trading in the US or UK. The profits we make will be invested in setting up factories in the US, and so on. This way, we'll become rich."

  The young general was taken aback by Wang Changhu's depiction of the situation, and he paced back and forth in front of the map, saying: "Then what can I use to intercept the white silver flowing out to sea?"

  Wang Changhu said: "Aircraft carrier, don't you still have China's largest cruiser?"

  Young Marshal retorted: "I have warships, but can't they just leave the harbor at will? Besides, where would I go and where would I dock?"

  Wang Changhu drew a circle around Hainan and pointed, saying: "It's right here."

  The young marshal looked at him and said, "There is no military port here either?"

  "What else does a pirate need with a naval port?"

  "What?" said Xiao Shuai in surprise, raising his head.

  "Stop this nonsense!" General Xiao slammed his hand on the table and said, "As revolutionary soldiers, how can we become pirates who rob people's homes? You want money but not dignity. I won't do this."

  After finishing speaking, the young marshal was about to leave with a flourish, but Wang Changlong hurriedly arrived in front of him and blocked his way, saying: "Young Marshal, listen to me. If this matter is not beneficial to our country, you can leave with a flourish, I won't stop you. But if it's really crucial for our country, you'll regret leaving now for the rest of your life."

  Wang Changhu said, "How is it again the same old multi-level marketing scheme."

  Wang Changhu pulled the young marshal back in front of the map and said, "Firstly, I want to emphasize that after September 18th, all your air force and navy will fall into the hands of the Japanese. To avoid this situation, we can only withdraw these two military branches first. However, where to withdraw is a problem now." Wang Changhu pointed at Guangdong, Shanghai, and Fujian, saying: "These three places can be considered, but they are not practical. If you go to these three places, your navy will be annexed, which is not conducive to the implementation of our money-making plan."

  Secondly, Wang Changhu pointed at Hainan and said, "This place, as far as I know, is currently not controlled by any powerful warlord. Large warships are not suitable for anchoring here, but you can anchor in Hong Kong. Small warships can completely enter the harbor, and we only need small warships to intercept silver; more importantly, from this place, heading east-southeast will allow us to intimidate them." Wang Changhu pointed, and the young marshal saw a place and said, "The Strait of Malacca!"

  Wang Changhu nodded and said, "Yes, Japan is a country lacking resources, especially for strategic materials such as crude oil and steel, most of which have to be imported. We can play the role of pirates to curb its rapid development. These things can be sold on the black market, and if they can't be sold, we'll sink them. I don't believe my methods won't starve him half to death."

  "Then what excuse can I use to pull the fleet over there?"

  Wang Changtiger said: "We first move the air force, first to Beiping, then in 1932 moved to Xi'an, this is the first step; The second step will move part of the ordnance factory to Shaanxi and another part to Chongqing. At that time, your navy can escort cargo ships to Chongqing. Of course, these goods must be hung under the name of foreign business firms, not afraid of ten thousand just fear one in ten thousand."

  Wang Changhu continued: "These things must be completed before September 30. Finally, your troops will occupy Hainan Island in the name of suppressing bandits, and the rest will be easy."

  "What if someone were to annex my fleet at this time?"

  Wang Changtiger said, "Don't worry, you just lost the Northeast, Old Chiang will definitely comfort you, so there's no need to be afraid at that time; when you launch the Xi'an Incident, your fleet will cruise around, go out and hunt or something; when the whole nation is at war, you can come back, pledge allegiance to Chairman Chiang, and it'll be fine, but still save your strength, be a pirate; if the devils land in Guangzhou, you retreat all the way, retreat to India, but you must insist on flying the National Government's flag, this is very important."

  The young general nodded slightly and suddenly asked Wang Changhu a question: "Tiger, if the war of resistance is won, what do you want to do?"

  Wang Changhu subconsciously replied: "If the fleet is still here, I will definitely lead them to garrison here." Wang Changhu pointed to a place.

  Young Master looked at the map and said: "Ryukyu, why?"

  Wang Changhu gazed ahead steadily, as if trying to see through everything. He said slowly: "This place is really important for China's future development."
