Chapter 123
According to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, there is only one small train per day in Emu County. The so-called small train is a small steam engine locomotive that transports wood and passengers on a narrow-gauge railway leading to the forest area.
This kind of small train usually has several carriages, which only leads from the forest area to the county town. It takes about the afternoon to return from the forest area to Emu, and then to the terminal station Dunhua County town.
If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, or if it snows heavily for several days, the train will be stopped.
Guan Shijie gave Tian Zhongyong enough money to find a small hotel to have a sleep, have a full meal at noon, take the train and go home.
After Guan Shijie and the others had a meal, they put Tian Zhongyong in a small restaurant and walked to the security camp.
Guan Shijie had already thought of the words and prepared 1,000 oceans to clear the relationship, so as to strive to arrive in Qinggouzi in the morning. He trusted the Hanji Preparatory Clothing Exhibition a few days ago, and had already sent news to General Chen Hanzhang that someone would definitely respond when he arrived in Qinggouzi.
At the gate of the Emu County Security Camp, two sentries standing guard saw two officers coming over and hurriedly raised their hands to salute.
"We are from the First Army of the New Security Command, please find your Battalion Commander Wang."
"Please show your ID for both hosts."
Guan Shijie and Wu Yanzhang took out their ID and handed them to the two sentries.
The sentry looked through and said, "Please wait for two masters, I will inform Battalion Commander Wang."
Guan Shijie looked at the battalion headquarters of the security camp. It was a two-story building with brick structure. On the flagpole in front of the building, there was a five-color military flag of the puppet Manchukuo.
After a while, the sentry ran back and said, "Please come in, Battalion Commander Wang is waiting for you in the office on the second floor."
Guan Shijie and Wu Yanzhang walked up the second floor and saw someone coming out of an office. They asked at them: "You are the people sent by Commander Xie, aren't you?"
"That's right, are you Battalion Commander Wang?"
"Yes, Commander Xie called a few days ago. Are you back from collecting your skin from the mountains?"
"Just about to enter the mountain, let's visit you first."
"You're welcome, you said in the fast house."
This is an office of more than 20 square meters, with a desk and four chairs.
"Who are you Guan Jie and Manager Guan?"
"My name is Guan Jie."
"Captain Xie said that you are doing a big business. How long will you plan to live in the mountains this time?"
"It's almost a long time since the prey has just come down the mountain, so I'll make a reservation with the hunters first and come back again when I'm at the age of the year."
“Is gasoline enough?”
"It's enough to run into the mountains, but I'll bother you when I come back."
"If that's the case, you are the kid of Commander Xie. I am Commander Xie's brother. You must help whatever you need to do."
When Guan Shijie heard Battalion Commander Wang say this, he followed his words: "Captain Wang, there is really something I want to trouble you now."
"Just say something if you have something to do."
"During the autumn harvest, our fur merchants made reservations with hunters in the mountains, and gave us all the skins down the mountain. But this year the harvest was not good, so the hunters wanted me to get some food, cotton, and cloth to barter."
"I've heard it clear that they don't want money and want food."
"Yes, I'm just borrowing Commander Xie's car and bringing some food and cotton. Battalion Commander Wang can tell if he can tell the checkpoint?"
Battalion Commander Wang pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that I won't help you. It's okay two years ago. There is no Anti-Japanese Allied Forces here. Now the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces have been running into the mountains in this area, and there is an order from above that no grain of food is allowed to enter the mountains."
Guan Shijie took out two thousand oceans of silver notes from his arms and put them on the table and said, "Captain Wang, see if there is still room for maneuver."
Captain Wang's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.
"The checkpoints are the people in our garrison camp, not only ours, but also Japanese. There is a Japanese military police squad stationed in Emu County, and they also sent people to guard the intersection of the mountain."
"Battleman Wang, can you think of a measure? The checkpoint is a dead person, and people live."
"This matter is quite a matter. If you don't do it well, it's just a matter of losing your head." Battalion Commander Wang said in embarrassment: "If you don't do it well, you will also implicate Commander Xie."
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. However, when it comes to issues that are at stake, most people choose to avoid risks.
"Captain Wang, then I won't make you embarrassed. If these things really don't work, I'll take them back."
Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang did not dare to let go, Guan Shijie had to find another future.
"I'm sorry. I'll treat you to lunch and do your best for the landlord."
"Thank you then. Battalion Commander Wang, can our car park at your place first?"
Guan Shijie was afraid of stopping outside, so if there was a Japanese military police inspection, it would be a big trouble.
"Come in and park in the garage at the back."
Wu Yanzhang walked out the door and drove, Guan Shijie stayed to wait for him to come back.
Guan Shijie noticed a detail. Captain Wang glanced at the silver notes from time to time. His eyes were very complicated, and he felt a lot of melancholy as if he had passed away.
Since ancient times, money and silk have moved people's hearts, and no one can escape the vulgarity, let alone the lower-level officers in the puppet Manchukuo Army.
As far as Guan Shijie knows, Xie Xuefei's salary is more than 540 yuan, while Battalion Commander Wang should be more than 120 yuan.
The difference between these 2,000 oceans is almost equivalent to his two-year salary, so it is certain to be moved.
Guan Shijie held the silver note in his hand, pointed out 600 yuan and handed it to Battalion Commander Wang and said, "This is gasoline money, Battalion Commander Wang will accept it first."
Captain Wang received the money and said, "When will you use it?"
"When you come back."
"What should I do if food and goods?"
"I plan to send it back to Dunhua first, and then back to the mountains."
"It's really too difficult for the Japanese to deal with, otherwise, it would definitely not be a problem for Manager Guan."
"How many people are there in the Japanese military police squad? Do you follow your subordinates on duty every day?"
"There are twelve people in the Japanese military police squad. We have two hours per shift, each shift of four, and the Japanese military police squad sends one person on duty."
"There is no time for Japanese soldiers to leave their posts?"
"Yes, I dare not make sure."
Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang had a survivor in his words, Guan Shijie said bluntly: "I am preparing 3,000 oceans, please ask Battalion Commander Wang to help."
After Guan Shijie finished speaking, he pointed out the 3,000 yuan silver notes again and handed them to Battalion Commander Wang.
This time, Battalion Commander Wang did not hesitate. He took the money and put it in his arms and said, "Don't worry, you have to wait for the opportunity."
"Then please."
At this time, Wu Yanzhang drove into the yard, and Battalion Commander Wang arranged for someone to park the car in the garage behind.
Then he asked the orderly soldiers to take Guan Shijie and Wu Yanzhang to the barracks to rest.
At around 12 o'clock that night, Battalion Commander Wang woke up Guan Shijie and Wu Yanzhang and said, "Now you leave the city, the checkpoint is ready."
Guan Shijie and Wu Yanzhang hurriedly put on their clothes, followed Battalion Commander Wang to the garage in a hurry and started the transport truck.
When they arrived at the checkpoint to leave the city, the sentry saw the lights and raised the railings.
"I won't send you any more. When I come back, I'll give you whisks."
The transport truck dissipated in the night. Captain Wang touched the silver notes in his arms and smiled complacently.
