Crow of the Pretender

The death of Yoko Nantian aroused the anger of the senior management of the Japanese Super High School. In just a few days, the Japanese Super High School and No. 76 carried out a blanket search in the entire Shanghai Bund.

Many people suspected of resisting Japan were publicly arrested, and many military and commercial radio stations were intercepted.For a time, there was a bloody storm, and there were many shadows.

And the whole Shanghai station was prepared long ago, and the whole station was silent, so it was able to survive the storm without any damage.

Ming Mansion

With a "snap", in Ming Jing's room, a glass cup was smashed to pieces.

Ming Jing saw the newspaper forged by Ming Lou and the Hong Kong University expulsion notice obtained by Bo Ning, and was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, and asked Ming Tai: "Is it true?"

Mingtai felt dizzy all over. He remembered that Bo Ning had said before that he would handle school affairs, but he didn't expect to handle it like this!

This was the first time Mingtai saw his elder sister trembling with anger from a newspaper and a notice.

"Look for yourself! You let me down so much!" Ming Jing was so angry that his hands and feet were cold. "The country is in trouble, and I don't want you to defend the country. I only ask you to study and improve, so that you can be used by the country in the future. You are in school. Getting into trouble, getting into fights, getting expelled from school!

Do you know how much effort your elder brother put into getting you into the University of Hong Kong!At a young age, he spends his time drinking and drinking, and is a luxury.

Being printed on these peachy tabloids, how glorious the Ming family is!Fortunately, your elder brother copied this newspaper for you and intercepted these dirty things!Otherwise, do I still have the face to stand in front of others? "

Mingtai didn't dare to refute, firstly this was the reason for him to stay in Shanghai, and secondly, Mingtai was really guilty, the elder sister wanted to avoid disaster and think for himself, but he didn't think about elder sister at all when he went to the military command.

Ming Jing scolded Ming Tai for a while, and was so angry that tears fell down his face.Seeing this, Mingcheng felt that it was possible to intervene, so he said, "Eldest sister, don't hurt yourself. Eldest brother asks Mingtai to come over, and let elder brother teach him a lesson."

"Take him away! I don't want to see him now!"

In the study, Ming Lou was on the phone: "Yes, the military ticket is temporarily suspended, and cigarettes and sugar must be monopolized by the government. Let me tell you, Liang Chu, don't be fooled. Branches and sub-branches can operate, and banks can also operate. Use your brain." He hung up the phone.

"Did you get scolded by the elder sister?" Minglou glanced at Mingtai.

"Brother, the newspapers and certificates you and your senior brother made are too real! My eldest sister is so angry." Mingtai said, "It made me miserable."

Minglou sneered: "Hey, you deserve it. Let me ask you, do you still want to study?"

Mingtai was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Don't want to read? Good. How about learning to do business with me?"

Mingtai is naturally very smart, he immediately understood what Minglou meant and nodded immediately.

"Business requires capital. You don't have one, but it doesn't matter." Minglou looked at Mingtai and said, "Big brother handed over a flour mill under his name to you, how about it? You don't need to run up and down the bank all day to find financing partners. Just take care of it for me and ship it normally, it’s very simple.”

Mingtai was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Really doing business?"

"certainly……"

Mingtai felt strange, he originally thought that the business that the elder brother mentioned was a representative task.But listening to his tone, it seems that he really wants to let him do business.

"Who are the buyers?" Mingtai asked again.

"It's not important. You just need to find your employees to take care of the factory. What do you care about the buyers?"

"I don't do business with the Japanese." Ming Tai said.

Minglou sneered...

"I told you to learn from me, as long as you do things well, will I still harm you?"

Mingtai thought, his elder brother had something to say, this matter must have something to do with No. 76 and the Japanese, there is no guarantee that this business is what it is.

When the time comes to sign a contract to deliver the goods, dealing with the Japanese is indispensable. This was originally an unofficial way to understand the food needs of the Japanese military. This is indeed the source of information that Mingtai needs.However, he didn't want to agree to such a smooth flow, to satisfy his elder brother's heart, and to fulfill his wish.

"All the students in our school hate the Japanese." Mingtai said.

Minglou immediately turned gloomy: "You still have the face to mention school? Have you ever been there? I'll pave the way for you and you won't go, but you still want me to persuade you, coax you, and carry you behind? Stop dreaming."

Mingtai was reprimanded a few times, knowing that his elder brother is not easy to mess with.Now he didn't use his position to sit on the bench for himself, but came to "recruit" himself.If I still only care about my temper, I will not be able to step down.

So Mingtai complied.

After Mingtai left, Mingcheng said: "Brother, is it okay to leave this line to Mingtai?"

"I discussed this with Xiao Ning. His Hua Ning Commercial Bank and Liang Zhongchun's line are not suitable for any of the three of us to operate, and Mingtai's current situation is just right."

Minglou said, "Xiao Ning will arrange the specific "ferry" and Mingtai only needs to be the operator on the surface.In this way, Mingtai will not have no way out in the military reunification in the future. "

If he insists on staying.

However, neither Bo Ning nor Minglou expected that Mingtai himself would burn the road they carefully paved for Mingtai.

A few days later, Mingtai's flour mill opened for business.

After that, Mingtai transferred Yu Manli's radio station to the flour mill, while Guo Qiyun still operated the photo studio.

Two months have passed, and summer in Shanghai has arrived.It was a cloudless, moonless night.

Mingtai appeared at Wusongkou No. 9 warehouse. He stood at the door, looking at Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli.

Yu Manli was very nervous about Mingtai's appearance. She didn't know why Mingtai suddenly appeared at the delivery site by accident.Bo Ning entrusted this matter to her and Guo Qiyun alone, and Guo Qiyun is considered a veteran.

Yu Manli looked at Mingtai, she felt that something big was going to happen today.

"Adjutant Guo, why didn't you notify me of the "ferry" today? " Mingtai asked.

"As usual, I think—"

"What do you think?" Mingtai sneered and took a puff of cigarette, "Do you think, do you think, in your opinion, I am just a display?"

"Don't dare to be humble." Guo Qiyun looked at the cigarette in Mingtai's hand, and he knew the brand by smelling it.He felt something was wrong with Mingtai tonight.

"What about you? Aren't you my partner?" Mingtai looked at Yu Manli, and Mingtai didn't want to speak so harshly to Manli if it wasn't necessary, "Good partner, you won't tell me if he doesn't tell me?"

Yu Manli pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to look at Mingtai.

Mingtai walked into the warehouse.

Guo Qiyun gave Yu Manli a wink, he followed Mingtai in, and Yu Manli closed the warehouse door.

"Turn on the light." Mingtai said.

Guo Qiyun turned on the lights in the warehouse.

A dim yellow light shone in the warehouse, and Mingtai used the light to clearly see more than two dozen large wooden boxes in front of him. The boxes were marked with "handle with care" even though the boxes were firmly nailed.But Mingtai still smelled the same smell of shredded tobacco as in his hands.

The cigarettes were given by a guard on the day shift in his factory, who was a special agent of No. 76.

Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli were watching, feeling uneasy.

"Adjutant Guo..." Mingtai shouted.

"Leader..."

"What's in the box?"

"This... strategic material." Guo Qiyun replied.

Mingtai looked at Guo Qiyun with sharp eyes: "Open the box."

"Team leader?" Guo Qiyun asked with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Open!" Mingtai shouted sharply.

Guo Qiyun stood at attention and said, "I'm sorry, team leader. I received the "ferry" order directly from the fifth department of the Chongqing General Administration through the radio, and was approved by the station chief Ming and section chief Bai. I have special disposal rights. "

Mingtai was shocked, did his elder brother and senior brother participate?

"Really?" Mingtai felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He leaned over and picked up a long and thin steel rod from the warehouse floor, and with his own hands, he violently pried open a cargo box.

"Team leader!" It was the first time Yu Manli called Mingtai that way, with pleading in her voice.

The lid of the cargo box was kicked open by Mingtai, and there were all cigars in the box.

Mingtai didn't stop there, he pried one, two, three, four...

Cigarettes, foreign wines, famous watches, and cosmetics are all available, all of which have approval slips and customs clearance marks of No. 76.

Looking at the boxes of goods, Mingtai quickly took them out. He turned his head, raised his hand and slammed the butt of Guo Qiyun's gun, and then pressed Guo Qiyun's head on the box. The gun was pointed at his head, and the breech was pulled.

"Adjutant Guo, this is what you told me, the transportation line bought by the former team leader and the brothers who sacrificed so hard? I think this is the way for you to make a fortune in the country! You hide it, sir, don't you?" Think you've reached the end of your life?"

"I'm a soldier, and I'm under orders from Shangfeng to perform tasks. It's a bounden duty for a soldier to obey orders, and the team leader knows that." Guo Qiyun said.

"Shangfeng, what a Shangfeng! Do you still remember that I am your direct subordinate Shangfeng!" Mingtai pushed Guo Qiyun away with a gun and rushed out. He wanted to ask his elder brother, ask Bo Ning, they What the hell are you doing!

Yu Manli hugged him from behind and begged him: "Mingtai, don't be impulsive!"

"Let go!" Ming Tai forcefully threw her to the ground.

Mingtai ran out, Yu Manli hurried to catch up, Guo Qiyun couldn't leave, he was still in charge of the ferry today.

Yu Manli did not find Mingtai, so she had no choice but to return to the warehouse full of worries and complete her task today.

However, when Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli were wondering why Mingtai had been silent since the incident, something happened on the ferry two months later.

Warehouse No. 9, where everything was normal in the first half of the night, caught fire just before shipment, and the goods in the warehouse were completely burned.

"Snapped!"

In the dark room of the photo studio, Ming Tai was slapped severely by Bo Ning. This was the first time Ming Tai truly felt the coercion that Bo Ning exuded against him, which belonged to the "black crow" of the military command.

It's cold, ruthless, not inferior to Wang Tianfeng's.

"You are so courageous!" Bo Ning almost went mad with anger, he never thought that Mingtai would be so courageous, daring to set fire to the goods of "Ferry" privately!

Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun stood aside, not daring to show their anger.

The corner of Mingtai's mouth was bleeding, but he was not convinced, or he was disappointed, he never thought that Bo Ning and his elder brother would also participate in such a thing!

"It's not as courageous as you guys who make money for the country!" Mingtai retorted.

Bo Ning said coldly with a gloomy face, "Do you know what you are talking about and what you are doing?"

"Block your way to get rich."

"No, you found a way to die for yourself!" Bai Ning said sharply, "Do you know who is behind this smuggling route?"

"It's nothing more than a high-ranking officer in the military command, or is it actually a teacher? Could it be that he retired to the second line to make money... eh!"

Before Mingtai could finish speaking, he was punched again by Bo Ning, who hit Mingtai so hard that his eyes went dark.

"Mingtai!" Yu Manli couldn't help but went to help her, but she was so frightened by Bo Ning's eyes that she didn't dare to move.

"Teacher, you are presumptuous!" Bo Ning strode over and grabbed Mingtai's collar, "Do you think there is just someone behind this? How naive, let me tell you, do you know that behind this is the entire Military Command Bureau! You are digging your own grave by destroying this shipment!"

"It's because I know you are young and full of vigor! So I don't let Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli tell you, just to prevent you from becoming the second "Poisonous Bee"! "

Mingtai panted, was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bo Ning let go of the Mingtai, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Why do you think the 'Poisonous Bee' died?Why did the teacher retreat to the second line?Just because he was once like you.The officialdom is risky, and if one is not careful, one will be killed, betrayed, and die without a place to die. "

A few words from Bo Ning made Ming Tai feel cold all over his body.

"The new government provides supply and demand channels for the old regime. This is not a secret at the upper echelon of the military. The two sides exchanged supplies in short supply, sold some economic information to each other, and sacrificed some of each other's men in order to circulate currency.

And the Japanese army, do you think those Japanese went to China to live well?The allowances of some Japanese military officers were not even enough to subsidize their families.

Because all the resources in Japan are leaning toward war preparations, domestic prices are soaring.Therefore, those Japanese military officers will take advantage of their positions to smuggle arms and medicines, so that both parties can obtain the greatest economic benefits. "

"In this matter, various agencies and departments of the Chongqing government are involved, and the scope is very wide. The Military Control Bureau is just one of thousands of large ships. The main role of your line is the transportation intermediary. And more than half of the smuggling in Shanghai Huaning Commercial Bank is responsible for all sales and purchases."

Mingtai looked at Bo Ning in astonishment: "That's not you, brother..."

"That's right, I'm in charge of the smuggling line in Shanghai. In other words, the Military Control Bureau and the high-level officials of the Wang puppet government and the Japanese have a joint venture smuggling business in Shanghai. The people of the Wang puppet government usually use the ports, airports and docks they occupy. As The conditions for buying shares, and the upper echelons of the Military Control Bureau are the largest shareholders of the entire transaction."

Mingtai staggered and sat down on the chair, while Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun were also silent.Mingtai already understood that the reason for this phenomenon is not difficult to explain.

Everyone is tied to a chain of interests. Although the upper echelons work in enemy-occupied areas, they can guarantee their lives without worry.

Although there are certain political risks, high profits can reduce political risks to the lowest zero.

The soldiers at the front fought bloody battles, but what they got in return was the speculative business of the Nationalist Government. The upper-level officials merged with the Japanese and puppets, and the gold and power were integrated.

Bai Ning sighed, and continued: "The teacher was just like you back then, unwilling to join forces and wanted to stop and resist, but...he failed. I think you have already guessed the price."

Ming Tai looked at Bo Ning in disbelief, and finally had the answer to the destruction of the "Poisonous Bee" team that had been perplexing him for a long time: If you don't get along with the filth, you can only get rid of it.

Bo Ning looked at Mingtai's devastated state, and waved his hands to Manli and Guo Qiyun: "You guys, go out first."

Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun looked at each other and left the darkroom.

"The reason why the teacher can safely retreat to the second line is because the bureau chief thought of love and saved him; the second reason is that the bureau chief entrusted Hua Ning to me to take care of him. Teacher, don't interfere any more."

Parking paused and continued, "I took over Huaning Commercial Bank for two years, and after most of its smuggling profits were handed over, a small part was intercepted by me as funds. This is the only thing I can do. But you think these things Don't Virgo know? Acquiescence is just a kind of appeasement."

"Then this line?"

"It's me and your elder brother who want you to be in the military in the future so that you won't have no way out. If you have this line in your hand, you will benefit, and the people above will not touch you casually."

Bo Ning's tone softened as he spoke, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be like this now, not to mention our hands are already dirty, I hope you can clean them. Now it seems..."

Mingtai suddenly understood that everyone tried their best to cover up the truth in order to protect themselves.Once I know the truth, my hands will be dirty, my heart will be weak, and my blood will be cold.

"Senior brother, I..." Mingtai didn't know what to say, his heart was very cold.

"Go back. You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it, just leave it to me."
