Chapter 31 Write a suicide note before leaving
Shortly after leaving the teahouse, Hu Biao took the time to go back to the small foreign house he rented and met Brooke whom he had contacted earlier. This time, Hu Biao gave Brooke a commercial order and two prepaid ingots of gold.
Based on the previous contacts, Hu Biao felt that Brooke was very brave and had a wide connection with the concession. Most importantly, he had an uncle who was a military officer, and his family also had certain strength and energy in the United States.
For Brooke, even if he failed to make gold in the Celestial Empire, he could still inherit the family's industry and become a rich family with no worries about food and clothing. But Brooke, the young and energetic, still hopes to create a career by himself.
Looking at the commissioned purchase list written by Hu Biao, Brooke also said unexpectedly: "The things you want are not cheap! Although I have some connections in China, it is still difficult to buy these things."
Regarding Brook's answer, Hu Biao smiled and said, "It's okay! Since we want to do business together, it is necessary to show some sincerity. In my opinion, these things are not sensitive materials, and you can buy them just by spending more money and some connections.
This order is just to prove your strength. If you can get these things on the order, then I will use my own connections to find you a larger order. The premise is that you must prove your strength.
The most important point is that you only need to ship these things to Shanghai, and I will pay the remaining money if the goods are received correctly. I believe that this is a hard currency like gold, I am more reliable than any currency? I can also pay gold of the same value as the final payment!"
In this order for Brooke, Hu Biao ordered several of the most advanced individual radio stations in Meilijian. In addition, there are relatively scarce branch scopes. The former is a communication equipment, while the latter is used to modify sniper rifles.
If you want to build a mature special operations team, communication equipment and sniper equipment are essential. The remaining goods are some medicines produced by Meilijian, as well as a batch of American weapons and ammunition.
These include Thomson submachine gun, M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun, and pistols. In Hu Biao's view, these weapons are all good weapons with excellent performance among the US military's standard weapons, and are also very suitable for equipping combat teams.
Under the current circumstances, Hu Biao cannot make his own weapons, so he can only arm the combat team to his teeth through procurement. Although there are too many types of weapons and there will be difficult supply in wartime, Hu Biao has other alternative plans.
In Hu Biao's view, members of the combat team in the future must learn to use weapons from various countries. These include their own weapons, as well as Japanese equipment seized from the battlefield. Some equipment from foreign troops naturally also needs to be involved.
Moreover, there is another advantage in doing this, that is, it is difficult to understand the details of the combat team. The ammunition used in each operation is different, and even if someone wants to track it down from the source of the weapon, it will become extremely difficult.
Even others would not suspect that the mysterious team that used different weapons to fight came from the same group!
Looking at the two pieces of gold that are so well-designed, Brooke finally nodded and said, "Okay! But, I need time!"
"It's okay! I'm not in a hurry to use this batch of things! There's just a saying that I still need to remind you. For weapons, you might as well transport them over. You should know that the more there is a place for war, the less you worry about not being able to find a buyer for weapons.
As for the materials bans caused by the Japanese, I think you should not pay too much attention. As long as the things you bought are genuine and subsequent transportation, you can not come forward. I will find someone to transport the things away, and it will never affect you."
During the period of stay in the concession, Hu Biao already knew that after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, it restricted the transportation of many strategic materials. Even if some people transported their things into Shanghai, they could not find a safe shipping channel.
In this way, even if someone wants to buy something, he must be able to get it. Who will spend money randomly if he can't get it? Although someone still smuggles in private, once it is seized, he will face the consequences of losing both people and money.
Now that Hu Biao's promise has undoubtedly made Brooke's eyes lit up, he felt that this business is worth taking a risk. If he can really sell a large number of US military standard weapons, I believe many people in China would also like to see it.
For many Meilijian businessmen at this moment, making money is their most concerned thing. Once someone uses their standard weapons in large quantities, it means that many factories related to weapon manufacturing can get a batch of orders and a considerable income.
After discussing the last business and seeing off Brooke, Hu Biao left immediately. Before leaving, he also told the hired housekeeper Du Youfu, "Uncle Fu, I'm leaving for a while, and I'll have to worry about you at home."
"Please don't worry, my master, I will definitely be optimistic about my family!"
"During the time when I was not at home, if someone came to me, you don't have to pay too much attention. If there was something wrong with the foreigner before, you can write it down in advance. If there is anything, I will deal with it when I come back!"
He could be a residence hall, but he chose to go to the front line where the fiercest war was. Hu Biao's choice was indeed a bit unexpected. But Hu Biao thought that from the time he traveled to this time and space, his life would not be peaceful.
In his previous life, he always felt that he was mediocre and did not accomplish anything big. This time, he was fortunate to come to this era, and Hu Biao also wanted to do some big things, fulfill his duty as a soldier in the Celestial Kingdom to defend his country, and fulfill his responsibility to drive away foreign enemies from the descendants of Yan and Huang.
When Hu Biao returned to the grocery store safely, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the concession became much more tense. A large number of police officers and gun-carried military and police also set up stricter inspection procedures at various exits of the concession.
Fortunately, Hu Biao had Brooke's endorsement and was wearing a gentleman's outfit, so the police would not suspect that the murder case last night was done by Hu Biao. On the streets of the concession, there were obviously many more armed policemen patrolling than before.
When Hu Biao arrived at the street where the grocery store was located, he could see many gangsters with eyes wandering around. Many of these gangsters acted as earlines for the concession police. When a major case occurred, they were reconnaissance personnel of the concession police.
When he walked into the grocery store, he saw Xu Sandao and others who had already stood up, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Have you rested? No one went out, right?"
"Get a good rest early! If you give orders, who dares to do anything randomly? Besides, Manager Du has already said that there were many gangsters on the street, wandering around. It seems that the incident last night was quite disturbing!"
"That's natural! It's involved a director of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau being killed and a representative of the Japanese in the concession. It's normal for foreigners to get angry and worry. However, these have nothing to do with us. We will leave after dinner."
"Will it be too conspicuous when you leave at this time?"
"It's okay! You two will be in a group and stand by at the intersection outside the city. Weapons, equipment and backpacks are all placed in the store. I will find a way to transport them out of the city later. When we get outside the city, we will be safe."
It is naturally easy to attract attention when you leave the city with a combat backpack and weapons. If you leave empty-handed, it will not seem too eye-catching. In addition, the two of you left in groups and mingled in the crowd, who would suspect that these two people were the murderers?
As someone asked someone to prepare supper in advance, Hu Biao summoned everyone to his side, and said with a serious expression: "Eat supper in advance. Before the others left the city, the two of them gathered in groups at the City God Temple outside the city. Be careful not to keep people staring at them when leaving the city.
In addition, while there is still time, you will write a suicide note and submit it to me next time. Although it is a bit unlucky, no one can guarantee that he will come back alive when he goes out of the city to the front line this time.
In order to ensure that there are no regrets and to be able to send your corpses back to your hometown, I hand over the pension I promised to your family. This letter must be written. If you don’t know how to write it, you can also give your pension to yours. Remember to write your address clearly!"
It really surprised everyone by saying this. But if you think about it carefully, Hu Biao did this for them. Although no one wanted to die, any accident could happen when he arrived on the battlefield.
If you don’t want no one to collect the body after death, then writing a suicide note is necessary. Moreover, Hu Biao has promised that once they die on the battlefield, Hu Biao will personally or instruct someone to bring the pension and ashes to their relatives.
In that case, they can at least return to their roots and allow their families to receive a considerable pension. Although the deceased can't get anything, their death will at least allow their families to live too poor in the following days.
As for Hu Biao's words, even if he wanted to write a suicide note, he had to have a place to send it. Before joining the army, he was already alone and had no close relatives. Moreover, the promises he made were based on his life.
If even he is dead, how could the bodies and pensions of these team members be returned to their families? This also means that if Hu Biao wants to fulfill his promise, he must live longer than others!
