War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 384: Fifteen or Sixteen Tons! (Thanks to 'Book Friend' for the 500-yuan reward)
Xu Chaoyang has met many people. He has seen peddlers shouting "most of the chivalrous people are butchers" and people in high positions shouting "every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of the country". So, as soon as he saw Yuan Keqin coming back, he already understood what kind of background the person standing in front of him had. This is what is called "you can tell a person's future by looking at him when he is three years old".

Yuan Keqin came back, but he was not the 'old man' who was at Yuan Wenhui's house. He stood obediently under the setting sun, with colorful clouds on his shoulders, his hands hanging naturally in front of his abdomen, and an honest smile on his face.

"Brother-in-law, it's done."

Then he said this sentence easily.

How could Xu Chaoyang not know that the job was done?

If he didn't call the 38th Division in Tianjin City, even if those ten trucks grew wings, do you think they could fly out of the city gate tower of Tianjin!

Could it be that the American Concession garrison called the 38th Division and asked it to urgently close the city gates? After receiving the call, the 38th Division turned a blind eye and allowed ten trucks to successfully break through the checkpoint under the hail of bullets, so that ten trucks of silver dollars could be delivered back to Dagu Shipyard?

However, after Xu Chaoyang asked all the questions with doubts in his mind and heard Yuan Keqin's slightly naive answers, he realized that he, who could distinguish the colors at the age of three, could hardly distinguish between black and white at this age.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

This is Xu Chaoyang’s question.

Yuan Fuzhen was laughing proudly on the side, and she also showed her elder sister's style, crossing her legs and shaking her toes in high heels.

"Brother-in-law, I have to consider you first..."

Yuan Keqin began, tilting her head as she spoke, with one hand palm up, moving horizontally in front of Xu Chaoyang: "You are a famous anti-Japanese general, and this money was obtained by the devils in Northeast China, North China, and Chahar by plundering. If I secretly get this money out, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you?"

He spoke in Beijing dialect, but the logic behind his words seemed so down-to-earth.

“So I had to figure out a way to have the best of both worlds.”

"During the Tianjin Incident, it took the appearance of sixteen heroes to calm the anger of France. I was thinking, if not, we should also sacrifice a few lives..."

His words began to gradually become cold, but his tone was still hot, and he was using the attitude of a superior as if he was using the lives of ordinary people as bargaining chips.

"I found them in Peking. It's easy to make these people sacrifice their lives. All I have to do is talk to them about justice. Then I'll say this: this is the money the devils squeezed from the common people. It's going to be sent to America. The men in our Yanzhao land can't just stand by and watch, right?"

"Yes, the country has begun to kowtow. The Tangku Agreement has made us men unable to raise our heads. However, whether we kowtow or crawl on the ground, we can't do it to kowtow to the devils! No matter whether they are Japanese devils or Western devils, this is not acceptable. We crawl on the ground to wipe out the shame of this country, right?"

Xu Chaoyang raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Keqin. He couldn't understand how he could play this trick so smoothly at such a young age: "How did they answer?"

"It's running away!"

"The well-known bald bully in the city of Sijiu, who has several lives on his hands, stood up and slammed the table when he heard this, and started to curse, 'What are the Japanese and Westerners? Fuck him, Master Yuan, you decide on this matter, and none of the brothers in the city of Sijiu will give in!' That's what they said in response."

Xu Chaoyang narrowed his eyes. Yuan Keqin, you are not pouring out your heart to others. You are forcing them to do something. Anyone who is smart knows that there is no turning back from the moment you open your mouth. Rather than being a coward and letting you threaten her in the end, it is better to be tough to the end.

"Later, I thought about it. You can act rashly, but you can't plan rashly, otherwise you will definitely fail."

"I told them again that this matter is irreversible and it's not too late for you to regret it now..." What the hell is "not too late"?
"They are more righteous than those officials. They keep saying, 'Even if I get a big scar on my head, I can be a brave man again in 18 years.' Finally, we agreed on a price of 1,000 silver dollars per head, and I will find the guys. That's how we settled the matter."

"I have also promised them that this matter will be handled with great fanfare. On the day of the funeral, all the celebrities in Tianjin and Beijing will be there to see them off. They will definitely be treated more splendidly than the sixteen martyrs in the Tianjin Incident."

click, click, click...

Xu Chaoyang tapped lightly on the painted surface of the wooden strips on the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, without saying a word.

Yuan Keqin glanced at his expression and continued, "I know what you are worried about, brother-in-law. You are worried that it will be difficult to deal with the ceasefire between us and the Japanese. But don't worry, I have considered this as well. Otherwise, I would not have let my people take action in the American Concession."

"As long as this batch of silver enters the American Concession, it should have nothing to do with the devils, so we are robbing the silver in the American Concession. I have left the people in charge, and as soon as the reinforcements from the garrison in the American Concession arrive, everyone will drop their guns and surrender." "Driver."

Xu Chaoyang looked up at Yuan Keqin and pointed out the loophole in his entire plan.

Yuan Keqin continued, "We thought about it in advance. After the truck left Tianjin, the driver was replaced. The original drivers turned around and confessed their crimes. If Westerners interrogate them, they will say that they just got together to rob the silver car because they couldn't make ends meet..."

Xu Chaoyang looked at Yuan Keqin again: "Do you think they can survive the torture?"

"No need to boil it. Everything is prepared in advance. I stuffed the medicine between the teeth before doing it. As soon as the torture starts, just bite it open immediately. It has almond flavor and will be gone on the spot." Xu Chaoyang's eyes changed when he looked at Yuan Keqin. It was really not in vain that he had been spending all this time on nitroglycerin. People like him can get anything!

"So right now, in the hands of the American Concession garrison, the silver was lost and people were forced to death one by one during the interrogation process. The Japanese had nothing to do with it, and they couldn't even ask where the silver cart had gone."

"How many people are there in total?"

"Twenty-one." After hearing this, Xu Chaoyang added, "Make sure no one reaches the age of gnaw..."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. I have a secret against every one of them. Before I came out, I reminded them that if they don't die, their family members will die for them. You can decide for yourself whether to take the blame or not."

This kid... is so cruel and ruthless, yet he dares to do this!

"How do you know the silver was handed over in the American Concession? What if it was repackaged in the Japanese Concession and sent to Dagu Port in the name of the American Concession?"

"Brother-in-law, I really thought so. After I went to Yuan Wenhui's place, I felt that it was unlikely. How much trouble would it be to do so? Besides, if they really did it, could Yuan Wenhui not be involved? If they really did it, it must have been influenced by the national anti-Japanese movement after the Great Wall War. People in Peking started to oppose Japanese goods... If they really felt that this matter had a major impact, they should have done it secretly. As long as they did it secretly, Yuan Wenhui must have been involved, but Yuan Wenhui did not participate. That's why I concluded that it was unlikely."

Yuan Keqin was still young after all, and Xu Chaoyang's questions made her nervous. She kept repeating the same things over and over again, fearing that she would not be able to explain herself clearly.

This……

This made Xu Chaoyang not know how to judge him.

You say he is too cold-blooded and doesn't take human life seriously...but they are doing things for you; you say he is meticulous and too cruel...his whole body exudes the coldness that only a superior can exude.

Of course, the Yuan family was originally a superior family.

When, when, when.

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Chaoyang shouted towards the door: "Come in."

When Yang Jingyu pushed the door open and entered the room, his entire expression changed color.

"Chaoyang, there are not only silver dollars in the car, but also various silver items. The exact number is impossible to estimate, but we still roughly calculated it based on the car's load."

"We used Minsheng trucks, a total of ten of them, each with a load capacity of 1.8 tons. Based on this calculation, we should be able to get back at least or tons of silver this time."

"How many!"

Xu Chaoyang stood up. He had never heard of this number in his life!
