Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Early the next morning, after finishing his breakfast, Zhang Wenwu walked towards the barracks of the first company of the division's special forces battalion.

The barracks of the first company of the special forces battalion was located in the southeast corner of the division headquarters compound. After asking the soldiers standing guard outside the barracks and finding out where Wang Gui's dormitory was, he walked straight over.

At this time, Wang Gui was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette after dinner, looking very enjoyable. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. He squinted his eyes and looked at the door in surprise. He knew very well that his men never knocked before entering the house, not to mention that his door was still open, and they did not have the habit of being polite.

When Wang Gui saw that it was Zhang Wenwu standing at the door, he immediately stood up, walked to the door and cordially invited Zhang Wenwu in: "Hey, Deputy Director Zhang, you have come. Please come in, please come in."

"Brother Wang, you should just call me Xiao Zhang, or Brother Zhang. Don't call me Deputy Director or something like that. It's too formal!" Zhang Wenwu said with a smile.

He came to ask Wang Gui for help, so he had to be polite. Although Zhao Dong had ordered him to ask Wang Gui for help if he had any problems, it was always right to be polite.

Wang Gui knew that the young officer he had brought back from the military academy had some connections, but he did not expect that Zhang Wenwu would be assigned to the Quartermaster Department as soon as he arrived, and even became the deputy director. This was not just a matter of connections, it required a very strong background, so he had no choice but to pay more attention to Zhang Wenwu in front of him.

"Okay, since Brother Zhang is so kind, I won't be so hypocritical." Wang Gui followed Zhang Wenwu's words and continued. He also wanted to build a good relationship with this promising young officer.

Zhang Wenwu did not say much to Wang Gui on this issue, but directly stated his purpose: "Brother Wang, Chief of Staff Zhao greeted you some time ago, right? I have a mission here, and I need your help."

Hearing Zhang Wenwu talking about business, Wang Gui brought a chair for Zhang Wenwu to sit down. He then closed the door and sat down next to Zhang Wenwu. “I have been told. Chief of Staff Zhao told me some time ago to follow Brother Zhang’s instructions. But he didn’t say what it was specifically. Brother Zhang, how about telling me? I can also be prepared.”

"It's not a big deal. There is just a batch of supplies that we don't need. It would be a pity to throw them away, but it would be a waste of energy to hand them over. So Chief of Staff Zhao asked me to deal with it myself." Zhang Wenwu thought about it and decided not to tell Wang Gui about the opium. The fewer people who know about it, the safer it will be.

Wang Gui understood immediately that Zhang Wenwu was not telling the truth. Right now, the 102nd Division was short of almost everything, so how could there be "unused materials"? It seemed that this matter needed to be kept secret, so he could not ask too much, lest he find out too much, which would be bad for him. He did not dwell on this question at the moment, and instead asked, "Brother Zhang, if you need me to do anything, just tell me directly."

"Brother Wang, it's nothing serious. There are only two people in my quartermaster's office. I need your help to move the stuff to the car. Also, when I'm doing the deal, please stay behind to keep the peace and prevent any accidents."

"No problem, Brother Zhang, don't worry. Leave it to me. I will personally bring a platoon of brothers with me to protect you the whole time." Wang Gui felt relieved as soon as he heard his mission. These were all physical work. Moving the supplies was secondary. The main thing was to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction and protect Zhang Wenwu's arrangements, so as not to let others "rob the robbers".

In Wang Gui's opinion, this task was too easy. Who would dare to "rob the gangs" against the 102nd Division in Zhenjiang City? That would be like looking for death.

Zhang Wenwu asked Wang Gui to take people to the military supply department to move supplies before 8 o'clock in the evening. After explaining the matter, Zhang Wenwu found the company commander of the transportation company, Bao Changgui, and said that he had a mission in the evening and asked him to arrange a truck for him. Bao Changgui agreed without saying a word, and at the same time stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Zhang Wenwu's pocket, asking him to take care of him in the future.

After arranging everything, Zhang Wenwu returned to the small courtyard of the military supply department and asked Lei Dong to go to Hongyun Casino in the afternoon to tell Xue Siye that the transaction in the evening could be carried out on time. He also gave him some money and asked him to buy five packs of cigarettes when he came back.

At 7:50 in the evening, Wang Gui arrived outside the small courtyard of the Quartermaster Department with a row of fully armed soldiers. After Wang Gui arranged for the soldiers to stay on standby, he walked into the small courtyard alone. Zhang Wenwu heard the noise outside and came out of the office, just in time to see Wang Gui walking into the small courtyard.

"Brother Zhang, I've brought people here. Do you want to move it now or wait a little longer? I'll listen to you." Wang Gui said casually as soon as he saw Zhang Wenwu.

Zhang Wenwu asked Lei Dong to go to the office and get four cartons of cigarettes, and handed them to Wang Gui, saying, "Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work. This is a little gift for you. Please distribute it to the brothers. We can't let you work in vain in the middle of the night."

Wang Gui quickly declined: "No, no, Brother Zhang, this is my duty."

Zhang Wenwu ignored Wang Gui's refusal and directly stuffed the cigarette into Wang Gui's arms: "Brother Wang, please don't be polite with me. After the cigarettes are distributed, you can ask people to come in and prepare to move the supplies."

After talking to Wang Gui, Zhang Wenwu said to Lei Dong: "Go to the door and see if the truck sent by the transport company has arrived."

Lei Dong said "Yes, sir," and walked out of the courtyard quickly. Wang Gui followed him out and passed the cigarettes in his hand to the people below.

Fortunately, the corrupt quartermasters had disguised the opium well, so all the soldiers thought they were carrying guns. After all the boxes of opium were loaded onto the truck, Zhang Wenwu and Wang Gui got into the cab and ordered the driver to drive. Lei Dong and the row of soldiers squeezed in the back of the truck.

Fourth Master Xue had brought more than a dozen of his men to wait at the transaction site early. He had to arrive first, firstly, to have his men investigate the surrounding environment to avoid any mistakes, and secondly, he could not and did not dare to ask Zhang Wenwu to wait for him, so he had to be in the right attitude.

Fourth Master Xue took out the pocket watch from his jacket pocket and looked at it in the moonlight. The agreed transaction time was 9 pm. There were still ten minutes to the agreed transaction time. He closed the watch cover and put the pocket watch back into his pocket. Just when he was calm and composed, a subordinate ran to his side and whispered, "Fourth Master, a large car is coming on the west road."

After hearing what his men said, Fourth Master Xue was shocked and said in a deep voice to the people around him: "The big boss is here, everyone cheer up." There was no need to think too much, this car must be from Zhang Wenwu's side. It was late at night and in the suburbs, so how could there be any big car passing by.

When the truck stopped more than ten meters ahead, Zhang Wenwu opened the door of the cab and jumped out of the truck. Then he walked towards Fourth Master Xue with his fists clenched and a smile on his face: "Fourth Master Xue, you're here really early. I'm so scared to have you waiting here."

Fourth Master Xue also smiled and clasped his hands together as he walked towards Zhang Wenwu: "No, no, Deputy Director Zhang, you are embarrassing me. I should have waited, I should have waited."

As Fourth Master Xue spoke, he looked at the soldiers who kept jumping out of the trunk of the truck. After jumping down one by one, these soldiers stood in a loose fan shape, semi-surrounding his group.

When he saw the roof of the car, Xue Siye's eyelids jumped. Oh, there was a light machine gun on the roof. It seems that this Deputy Director Zhang is also a very careful person. This is good, it is better to be safe than sorry. It is safe to cooperate with such a person!
