Volume 1 Chapter 65 Sanctions Plan (Please Collect)

  Three people are also considered old acquaintances, after the politeness is over, Chen Gongpu will say his initial idea from beginning to end and ask Beiping District to send someone to assist.

  Mao Wanli listened carefully and pondered for a moment, looking somewhat embarrassed as he scratched his head with an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Wanli brother, based on our friendship, please speak directly." Chen Gonghui was also a clever person, so he pretended to be nonchalant and smiled: "I trust you, and you should also trust me!"

  Mao Wanli nodded, chose his words carefully and said slowly: "Since Gong Huan brother says so, I won't be polite. To tell the truth, I am also considering for Gong Huan brother's sake. If my words are not proper, please forgive me."

  "Wanli brother just talk, no harm." Chen Gongpu waved his hand generously.

  "Well, I'll be frank then." Mao Wanli leaned back slightly and said seriously: "The 'ambush' tactic that Gong Yun is preparing to take, I think the idea is good, but it's a bit unrealistic. In my opinion, it's just too bold and naive."

  Chen Gongpu made an effort to remain expressionless and humbly asked: "I'd like to hear more about it."

  Wanli smiled slightly and continued: "Think about it, Brother Gonghun, how many people do you plan to put into this plan? If there are too many people, the target is big, and the action is not convenient; if there are too few people, they can't win against a large number of enemies, and it's useless. Moreover, no matter how many people are involved, just the process of entering and exiting, gathering and dispersing, must be done with precision, without any mistakes. If there is even a slight mistake, it will lead to complete failure. This is my opinion, please consider it carefully, Brother Gonghun."

  Chen Gongpu was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but what Mao Wanli said was not unreasonable either. For a moment, he couldn't refute it, and the room fell silent, slightly awkward.

  "Let's put it this way!" Zeng Che set down his teacup and mediated, "Gong Hong brother can consider it some more, best if he personally goes to Yin Ruhu's old nest Tongzhou to investigate and make the plan perfect. Wan Li, please trouble you to prepare a vehicle for Gong Hong brother and send someone familiar with the geography as an assistant."

  Ma Wanli nodded with a smile and said with great pleasure: "No problem at all, how about I let Wang Wen accompany Brother Gong Huan for a run?"

  Chen Gongpu was very helpless, but Zeng Jie was the secretary of North China, and Mao Wanli had a strong backstage, so he could only smile and agree, and thanked Mao Wanli.

  Mao Wanli immediately called for someone to summon Wang Wen, the capable general of Beiping District, and asked Chen Gongshu and Wang Wen to discuss the matter of going to Tongzhou. He then gave Zeng Che a signal with his eyes, and the two men walked out of the living room and into a side room.

  "Brother Zeng is going to Tan Che Temple, so let's take this thing away too!" Mao Wanli picked up a box from under the table and pushed it in front of Zeng Che, saying with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Brother Zeng owes me a favor, which will have to be repaid later."

  Zeng Che opened the box, and it was empty. He smiled slightly, reached in and pressed down on the bottom of the box, opening a hidden compartment. Inside, he found a disassembled Type 38 Arisaka rifle. The stock, barrel, receiver, and bolt were all placed in the recesses at the bottom of the box, with two rows of shiny bullets arranged among them. The barrel was slightly unusual, with a single-lens telescope mounted on it.

  "Is this the weapon he designed and requested?" Zeng Che asked with some doubt, reaching out to touch it.

  "Ah! I think this weapon should be very powerful, of course, it's just a feeling. Brother Zeng can take a closer look." Mao Wanli took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly inhaled, his face showing a strange expression, half jokingly and half seriously saying: "I really don't know where Brother Zeng got this thing from, I don't know whether to be happy for him or worried about him, this thing is a double-edged sword!"

  Zeng Che smiled, closed the box, sat down on the chair, patted the box with his hand and said: "A sharp double-edged sword is always better than a useless dull knife. Isn't his performance outstanding?"

  "It's indeed outstanding, and even a few instructors are qualified to teach him." Mao Wanli nodded in agreement, his face showing both helplessness and a hint of concern. "He is absolutely not a novice, some things seem to have been learned long ago, or he is a genius among geniuses, but this seems hard to believe. Although it's said that talent is hard to come by, I always feel that Zeng brother doesn't need to take such risks, after all, his background is unclear and suspicious."

  Zeng Cheng thought for a moment and explained, "Thank you, Wanli brother, for your concern. What I'm doing does involve some risk, but people in our line of work aren't afraid of these things. I've already reported the whole thing to Mr. Dai, and he thinks I handled it reasonably."

  After a pause, Zeng Cheng continued: "In addition, Mr. Dai also mentioned several principles: if he is after money, we can relatively satisfy him and use it without hesitation; if he has any political background or international connections, that would be the work clue we are looking for, and we can conduct a test of 'intelligence war' and 'political struggle'; as for his suspicious identity, there is no need to rush to get an answer immediately, because we have not suffered any losses so far. We should observe him calmly, without stimulating him in words and deeds, and it's best to establish a private emotional connection with him, which will have a stabilizing effect; when using him, we must be cautious, both as a test and as a trial, and make good arrangements for the aftermath."

  Ma Wanli nodded thoughtfully, since Mr. Dai had given instructions, he couldn't say anything else. Zeng Che was indeed a person valued by Mr. Dai, and this behavior that exceeded the Blue Shirt Society's rules hadn't been punished, showing his position in Mr. Dai's mind.

  "By the way, how's that outer organization mainly composed of young students that you set up?" Mao Wanli changed the subject and asked with a smile: "There are many universities and colleges in Beiping too, I really hope to get your guidance, Brother Zeng!"

  "It's not just a matter of giving directions." Zeng Cheng humbly waved his hand, "Brother Wanli didn't say it, but this time I came to ask for Brother Wanli's strong help too. Next spring, some Tianjin middle school students who have been developed into the outer organization will enter universities in Beiping to study. In order not to interrupt our control over them, I have an idea, which is to expand this outer organization and unify the dispatching of personnel in both cities. At that time, Brother Wanli will also need to send people to help!"

  "This is no problem." Mao Wanli patted his chest and said: "If you want people or money, Brother Zeng can just speak up. This time, I've benefited from Brother Zeng's influence."

  "We're old friends, no need to be polite." Zeng Che had a certain sense of accomplishment with the external organization he had established. He paused for a moment and then asked Mao Wanli: "Brother Wanli, do you have any subordinates here who are familiar with Beiping and Tianjin, and are preparing to move south recently? I've read the report from Tan Zhushan's side, Huang Li's personality is a bit special, or rather not very smooth. I want someone to guide him."

  Ma Wanli thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I understand what Brother Zeng means. I'll arrange it now, let this person follow you and listen to your orders. When the time is almost up, I'll send him back to the south, it's easy."
