Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Master Cui thought the two men didn't recognize the thing and was about to show it off. This was a genuine military combat sand table, which Da Feng Tang had hired several Nationalist Army staff officers at great expense to specially make this highly military-grade object.

China has suffered defeats every day in recent years, and a large number of military staff officers have been left behind in the civilian population due to injuries or the annihilation of their old units. These people are living very difficult lives, and many of them are even unable to get enough to eat.

After all, these people learned skills related to war, and even carrying sacks at the docks couldn't compare to those young and strong men.

Good jobs are scarce in cities across China, and the competition is fierce, which leads to most people who leave the military living a hard life.

Taking advantage of the situation, Master Cui offered high salaries to recruit a large number of advisors in order to improve the overall strength of the gang.

The Da Feng Tang is a gang that specializes in intelligence gathering, and it needs professionals with strong logical thinking and expertise in intelligence analysis, which led to what just happened.

When Feng Ye and Bao Ye heard what Fourth Master Cui said, they both rolled their eyes.

“Master Cui, even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run. Although we gang members are just a bunch of country bumpkins, we still have these basic insights.”

"But for a gang like ours, if something happens, we just go straight for it. We have more people and better weapons, so we can win. There's no need for any roundabout ways. That's too much trouble."

Hearing Leopard's self-deprecating words, Master Cui smiled inwardly.

Back when his Da Feng Tang was in a small county town, it was just like everyone else, operating on a small scale.

But everything changed after they met Kong Hao. Now, the influence of Dafengtang has spread to several surrounding provinces, with branches in many small counties. The amount of intelligence they collect every day is astronomical. The previous model is no longer suitable for their current development.

It would be troublesome for our comrades to collect some intelligence on their own. We can simply let Da Feng Tang handle it and buy it directly from them. We can pay with food, industrial products, and weapons and ammunition, which would be a win-win situation for everyone.

At this moment, Feng looked at the buildings on the sand table and asked in a puzzled tone:

"Master Cui, judging from the style of this building, it should be from the concession area. Could it be that the Great Wind Gang is planning something there?"

“Brother Feng is right. We plan to dig a tunnel about 500 meters long from this place to a corner of this park.”

"As you both know, we, the Great Wind Hall, are newcomers and not very proficient in this area. The Iron Peak Hall and the Jingwu Society have been in Shanghai for decades and have a deep foundation. I hope to complete this task with your support."

Leopard looked at the buildings on the sand table, frowned, and said:

"Master Cui, the Great Wind Hall has already taken good care of us. Logically speaking, since you've asked, we should help you out no matter what."

“In other parts of Shanghai, we can still talk to each other and people in the underworld will give us some face, but this is the concession. To be honest, it’s too difficult.”

"Digging a 500-meter tunnel is no small project. Even outside, it would take at least one or two months, and you would need sufficient materials and funds."

"It's even more troublesome in the concessions. If you're not careful, you can easily be discovered by the police in the concessions, and then everything will be over."

After hearing this, Feng nodded repeatedly. This matter was extremely difficult. A 500-meter tunnel that could accommodate two people at a time required an immeasurable amount of manpower and resources.

Given the combined wealth of their two gangs, it would probably take them an entire fortune to complete this.

It's not that it can't be done, but the key issue is that the risks are too high, and it's a question of whether it's worth it.

He carefully considered the matter in his mind for a moment before raising his head and saying, "Master Cui, may I ask what important place this park is that warrants your Great Wind Hall expending so much effort on this matter?"

“Master Feng, Master Leopard, this park is located on Jiaozhou Road in the concession area. It’s not a particularly important location, but some people live in the park. They are a respectable group of people, and our Dafengtang has been entrusted to rescue them.”

Feng Ye pondered the words he had just heard: the concession, Jiaozhou Road, the park, a group of people, a rescue.

What important information does this combination of words represent, especially the mention of a rescue, which implies that the people there are under house arrest?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he rushed over to the sand table to examine it closely.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and said decisively:

"Master Cui, our Iron Peak Hall will take on this task. We will spare no expense, even if it means selling everything we own, to rescue those people."

Hearing this, Leopard asked curiously, "Old buddy, have you thought of something? Tell me quickly."

"Sihang Warehouse, eight hundred heroes, a lone army camp."

These words, once spoken, struck Leopard Lord's heart like a bolt of lightning, leaving him stunned on the spot.

After a long while, he patted his head and responded meaningfully:

"Finally, someone remembered them! I thought everyone had forgotten. Those heroes have been in that place for a long time. Now that someone has finally started the rescue plan, that's great!"

"Our Jingwu Society will take on this task. Even if it costs me my old life, it's worth it. We can't let heroes shed blood and then shed tears."

Master Cui had already guessed the reaction of these two big shots, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically sought them out.

To be honest, if this rescue operation were to succeed, it would be like slapping the Japanese devils in the face. Its impact would be greater than directly annihilating an enemy field regiment, and it would also greatly boost the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people across the country.

Feng Ye added, "Actually, in the first six months, many people in Shanghai wanted to rescue these heroes, but unfortunately the higher-ups in the concessions were afraid of the Japanese, and Japan was also one of the great powers and had a certain degree of influence."

"Compared to China, it is just a weak agricultural country, and it was defeated by the Japanese. Even if it suffered such a great humiliation, it had no way to retaliate. It is truly tragic."

"This time, there's no question. We'll do whatever it takes, even if it means selling everything we own, to get this done and give the Chinese people a good thrashing."

Seeing that both of them had agreed, Master Cui continued:

"Since that's the case, let's settle things here. Next, let's discuss the compensation."

"We don't want any reward for doing this. As long as we can rescue the heroes, nothing else matters. We can help for free this time."
