War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 382 This young man is not simple (thanks to the reward from 'book friend')
During the Republic of China period, many Japanese banks entered my country, and there were also many slave banks that were packaged by them, such as the Manchukuo Bank, the Bank of Korea, and the United Reserve Bank.

Among them, the puppet Manchukuo Bank mainly carried out financial harvesting in the Northeast, the Bank of Korea was naturally on the peninsula, and the United Reserve Bank entered the customs and established branches in Beijing, Tianjin and other places, doing the so-called "legitimate business."

At first, the bank's "legitimate business" was simply to manage funds for places like Youtian Commercial Bank, but over time they found that some Chinese people began to deposit money in this bank, and some Chinese businessmen seemed to have an unspoken but deep-rooted idea in their minds, that is, the "United Reserve Bank" was indeed opened by the Japanese, but they have strong military strength, and a bank with strong military strength can definitely guarantee the safety of their property...

Therefore, in addition to the shady business of "Youtian Commercial Bank" which had to deposit a large amount of cash in the "United Reserve Bank" every day, many domestic merchants also began to deposit their silver dollars in the bank. This was also the inducement for the Japanese to use various "vouchers" to fool the people in the later period. They took all the silver to America to sell, so how could they have money to exchange it with you? Then they could only issue you the so-called "sheep vouchers". Afterwards, they themselves did not recognize the "sheep vouchers" they issued. The whole operation was almost equivalent to robbery.

At dusk, trucks stopped at the back door of the "United Reserve Bank". From the moment these trucks entered the alley where the back door of the bank was located, the alley entrance had been blocked by Japanese soldiers in military uniforms. Two Japanese soldiers stood at the entrance of the alley with guns in hand, ready for battle. In the yard at the back door of the bank where the trucks were parked, there were two machine gun positions built with sacks. There were awnings on the machine gun positions, and they were guarded 24 hours a day.

If you don't have someone familiar with the matter to tell you the situation, no matter how many people come to this alley, they will have to lie down and it will be impossible to steal anything from the bank.

The employees coming out of the bank pushed out bag after bag of silver dollars on a cart. After pushing the bags out, they loaded the silver dollars onto the cart with their own hands. Up to this point, Yuan Wenhui had never been involved.

So how did Yuan Wen know this?
After entering the American Concession.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this money must have come from Dagu Port. If it was related to the Japanese, it would definitely be transported from Dagu Port to Qinhuangdao. After all, there were Japanese warships outside Qinhuangdao.

But in fact, the transaction had already been completed in the country. The Japanese were only responsible for transporting the "silver dollars" to the "American Concession", which were then taken over by the garrison in the "American Concession" and transferred to Dagu Port. They were loaded into containers in the name of the "American" company and shipped from Dagu Port.

In other words, the goods carried by the coolies at the dock under Yuan Wenhui were all goods of American companies. So even though Xu Chaoyang had been stationed in Dagu for such a long time and kept the Japanese out of Dagu, they were still able to transport the silver dollars away via ships at Dagu Port, but he knew nothing about it. This was not something that could be handled by one country at all.

"This matter is not something you can intervene in at all. If any accident occurs, it is very likely that the 'Tanggu Agreement' signed by the Peking Military Branch will be in vain. Do you understand, Yuan Keqin?"

After saying this, Yuan Wenhuier stared at Yuan Keqin in his small western-style building. However, Yuan Keqin was not frightened by the so-called "international situation". She said calmly as before: "Didn't I tell you? That's my business." Then, she looked at Yuan Wenhuier with a smile.

……

hum~
When the escort convoy consisting of ten Japanese military vehicles drove towards the American Concession at the same time, the American Concession military was not as alert as the Japanese. First of all, they were not China's enemy. Secondly, they had provided assistance to China. Finally, it was not them who went to war with the National Government on the battlefield in China, so of course they were not nervous.

This resulted in the situation that after ten carts of silver dollars entered the American Concession, less than a platoon of American troops arrived at the Haihe River waiting for the handover!

Forty American soldiers stationed in Tianjin and nearly sixty American concession police appeared at the edge of the concession area in a calm manner, and conducted the handover with the Japanese army as usual, without taking it seriously at all.

"Hey, did you see that?" On the side of the road, a bald man was leaning against a telephone pole with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes fixed on the vehicles that were being handed over between the United States and Japan, and he spoke calmly.

Next to him stood a man with a middle-parted hair.

The two brothers were dressed almost identically, both wearing a white undershirt that had been washed until it turned yellow, and a short black jacket on the outside. They also had wide copper-buckled belts around their waists, which were commonly used by the Pekingese wrestling masters, and were tied tightly around their bellies.

"Yes."

The two brothers looked at each other, and the bald man said, "What are you still looking at? Stop staring." The man with the middle part quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I said, we can only start after the handover is completed and these devils leave."

Looking at this street again, it was not a busy street, but now vendors can be seen everywhere. There are four firewood sellers standing on the street. If this happened in the Japanese Concession, the Special High Police would come and take the person away to ask what happened, without waiting for anything to happen. But in the American Concession? No one cares!
"Hey, hey, the devils are retreating."

On the street, a man with a middle-parted hair stood up straight. He watched as the Japanese troops outside the American Concession, who were unable to enter the concession directly and could only conduct the handover outside the concession, unloaded the silver dollars at the entrance of the concession, and then the American side transferred them to the prepared vehicles for transportation and drove away slowly.

But as soon as the Japanese car turned the corner, the man with the middle-parted hair ran towards the firewood seller on the roadside. As he walked by, he reached into the middle of the firewood bundle and pulled out a gun in broad daylight. He pulled down the handguard...

"Hey!"

"Leave the silver dollars there for me!"

Click.

boom!
The man with the middle-parted hair did not hesitate at all and pulled the trigger in the street. The gun in his hand was the 'Winchester M1897 shotgun', which was called the 'trench clearer' during World War I.

tom!
With a gunshot, the foreigner who turned around to look fell on his back after several blood flowers exploded on his chest. The man did not leave any chance for the other party. He reached out and pulled the handguard of the gun again, ejected the shell, loaded the bullet into the chamber and immediately fired the second shot - bang!

The American Concession was in chaos at the time, and countless people turned around and ran. When the foreign devils and the concession police were so frightened by the gunfire that they could only hide behind the vehicles to find cover, a vendor selling real melons nearby reached into the melon basket and pulled out a Soviet-made grenade. After pulling out the fuse, he threw it directly behind the car - sizzle...

boom!
The two foreigners were knocked down on the spot. As the strong airflow continued to spread around, the vendor selling real melons took out a mirror box from the basket, held two guns at the side of his hands, and fired at the group of people behind the car - bang, bang, bang, bang!

……

afterwards.

Xu Chaoyang asked Yuan Keqin in his office: "How do you know where to hand over?"

Yuan Keqin was amused: "Where else can we hand it over?"

"Since the coolies under Yuan Wenhui were carrying the American company's cargo boxes, and this matter was handled by the Japanese, there must be a handover of the concession. The Japanese can't drive their troops directly into the American Concession, and the American Concession is not our country's enemy, so taking action in the American Concession is the best choice."

Xu Chaoyang nodded and said, "Go on..."
