Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

75pm on April th, No. Sinan Lane.

The three evils sat in the living room, looking listless.

Hu Zhenhua sympathized with them spiritually.

At noon, the action team expelled the three evils from their home on the grounds that they had repeatedly dragged their feet and engaged in corruption.

Without the Secret Service, they were worried about their future and fate.

Wang Cuicui made four dishes: sweet and sour carp, boiled tofu, stir-fried river shrimp, and poached chicken.

The staple foods are steamed buns and white rice porridge.

"Brothers, be cheerful. What's the big deal? If I'm not welcome here, I'll find another place that will! Old Hu was the first one to be expelled, but look at me. I still married a beautiful wife and am living a comfortable life!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't care about them. He picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and then ate a few river shrimps with chopsticks. It was so delicious!

Wang Cuicui’s cooking skills are excellent!

Yu Bing shouted indignantly, "I'm leaving on my own accord. What's the point of being fired? I can't afford to lose this person!"

Hu Zhenhua complained in his heart: Go out by yourself? Unless you go out sideways.

Zhao Zhi sighed beside him.

Guo Dachong leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Lao Hu: "Hua Zi, didn't you say that Jiang Fang might not be safe?"

Hu Zhenhua took another bite of the steamed bun and said vaguely, "Brother Guo, have you figured it out?"

Old Guo slammed the table and shouted, "Leave! Leave tomorrow. I don't want the house or the land anymore!"

Decisive! Capable of accomplishing great things!

This is Lao Hu’s evaluation of him.

Yu Bing was no longer sad and asked in surprise, "Brother Guo, it will only take two or three days to deal with the property. There's no need to be so urgent."

"The house and land have been entrusted to someone else to handle. We must leave immediately because we not only need to escape, but also find a place to stay!"

Yu Bing was confused: "What do you mean?"

Hu Zhenhua understood and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Guo is very far-sighted. I admire you! Instead of wine, I'll give you a bowl of porridge."

Zhao Zhi was also confused. He mechanically raised the bowl and took a sip.

Yu Bing couldn't figure it out, and felt so uncomfortable that he slammed the table and said, "Lao Guo!"

Guo Dachong glanced at him, slowly picked up a piece of chicken, chewed it until even the bones were broken, and then swallowed it.

"Let me ask you, if everyone rushes to Dongfan Island, will we brothers still have a place to stand?"

"How not?"

Zhao Zhi finally understood something and said, "While the National Government is still under attack, why don't we go to Dongfan Island and buy some property?"

"Hey!"

Yu Bing jumped up, excited: "When the time comes, I can resell it and make several times the profit!"

Hu Zhenhua and Guo Dachong were both very upset.

This guy always only sees the small profits in front of him.

Don't you think about the future when the millions of nationalist troops are defeated? The food, drink, and defecation of so many people will become business opportunities. If you have a piece of land, can you build a restaurant? Can you open a factory? At the very least, you can rent it out.

Guo Dachong took a sip of rice porridge, looked at Yu Bing with annoyance, and said softly, "Bingzi, go get a map of Dongfan Island. Whether we brothers can make a fortune depends entirely on you."

Yu Bing was in a good mood and naturally had an appetite. He grabbed a steamed bun, took a big bite, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you!"

"Then why don't you go quickly!"

Yu Bing finished his rice porridge in a few mouthfuls and was about to run away excitedly. Hu Zhenhua quickly stopped him and said, "Make another world map. The more maps the better. You won't have the chance later."

"Why no chance?"

Zhao Zhi also finished his drink, stood up and patted Yu Bing on the shoulder: "I'll go with you. The brothers in the bureau will at least give us some face now."

As the saying goes, when people leave, the tea gets cold, so while it’s still there, get some benefits.

Hu Zhenhua suddenly felt something was amiss: abandoning their home and career wasn't the style of these three! Besides, the bureau wouldn't let me leave Shanghai!

Before Old Hu could speak, he heard Yu Bing cursing.

"Damn Zhou Yongnian! I'll kill him sooner or later! How dare he report us to the police station!"

Hu Zhenhua was puzzled and asked,

"Can't you?"

Go to the police station to report someone from the Secret Service?

Is he really going to die?! Doesn't Zhou Yongnian know that the military, police, and special agents are one family? This guy, as his name suggests, is truly "brave"!

Zhao Zhi snorted coldly.

"It's this bastard! He reported us for hoarding cash and disrupting financial order!"

In private, everyone likes to use foreign currency, dollars, and copper coins for transactions. Although this is tacitly acknowledged, it does not mean that the Nationalist government cannot use this to punish people!

According to regulations, all foreign currencies, dollars, and gold are prohibited from circulation and must be exchanged for gold yuan coupons.

Hu Zhenhua came to his senses. No wonder these guys ran away. It turned out that they were afraid of being sued.

Without the Secret Service's cover, they really had no confidence in escaping unscathed.

Hu Zhenhua got up and went back to the bedroom. When he came back, he had some bills of exchange and dollars in his hand.

"This is the remaining money, a total of 100 yuan. Since you have decided to leave, let's divide the money."

Guo Dachong understood the meaning of Hu Zhenhua's words and asked,

"Hua Zi, aren't you leaving?"

Hu Zhenhua smiled bitterly.

"The court requires me to appear at any time!"

Since his rebirth, he has been unable to control his own affairs. In order to save his life, he launched the Spark Plan. After barely escaping, the Ivory Mahjong incident happened again!

It’s all because these three guys were too greedy, otherwise, how could what happened later happen?

As for James's incident, Lao Hu doesn't blame others, it was his own fault.

Yu Bing was carefree and fearless, he shouted,

"Never mind, just run away first!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't comment and drank the porridge in silence.

Zhao Zhi stared at the bill of exchange on the table and muttered to himself,

"We're in Dongfan Island now, we're unfamiliar with the place and there are so many places to spend money. Shouldn't we make some extra money before we leave?"

Yu Bing immediately agreed,

"That's right, we must make a fortune!"

Hu Zhenhua knew that they wanted to go to "raise funds" again, and his brain was working at full speed, trying to stop them!

Hu Zhenhua's mind raced as he suddenly had an inspiration: "Guys! I have an immature idea, I wonder if it's feasible!"

The three evils quickly came over and pricked up their ears.

"If war breaks out, how many people would want to flee the Magic City?"

Wang Cuicui added more hot porridge to the four pests.

Guo Dachong, a man of high professional expertise, immediately said, "The Demon City is the nation's economic center, with a total population of over six million, about half of whom live in the prosperous urban area. Of these, a conservative estimate is that there are over 100,000 wealthy families. Add to that the personnel of the Party, government, military, foreign banks, and consulates. If a war breaks out..."

Guo Dachong paused, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted: "And if we lose the war, the population leaving Shanghai will probably be no less than a million!"

Hu Zhenhua believed this data was reliable. He asked again, "With the current transportation capacity, how long will it take to evacuate a million people?"

Guo Dachong shook his head. "Once we lose the war, everyone will rush to escape, order will collapse, and most roads will be blocked."

After a moment's silence, Guo Dachong continued, "We only mentioned the population, not the machinery, equipment, archives, factories, etc. According to the government's practice, those items will be shipped first."

By this point, he already understood Hu Zhenhua's intention.

Yu Bing also understood a little bit. So many people wanted to leave, but there was not enough transportation capacity. What if he and his brothers had made preparations earlier?

Yu Bing cheered again and jumped up.

This idea is totally feasible!

Hu Zhenhua looked at Guo Dachong and asked, "Does Brother Guo have any connections at the dock?"

Guo Dachong thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to go to the dock!"

It is conceivable that the dock will be blocked.

Zhao Zhi suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "How about we find a small boat to ferry us across?"

Guo Dachong gave him a fist and said, "Old Zhao, that's fine!"

It is completely feasible to use a small boat to ferry people onto a large ship!

"Three stinky generals are as good as one Zhuge Liang!"

Hu Zhenhua burst into laughter.

The four of them were like crazy.

It took several minutes before the four pests calmed down.

"Now there's another question: Can we charter an ocean liner?"

Guo Dachong immediately rejected Lao Hu's idea. "Forget about ocean liners. They'd probably cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of dollars a day to rent. Besides, each shipping company has its own fixed routes. Unless there's a big enough profit to make, they won't risk their reputation by renting to us."

"What about the large fishing boats?"

"Although fishing boats can only sail near the coastline, that's enough. As long as they can leave, they are safe."

Hu Zhenhua was puzzled: "Large fishing vessels can't sail in the ocean?"

Guo Da Chong shook his head. "No, the waves at sea are too strong for a wooden fishing boat to handle. Furthermore, the diesel engine is too underpowered to be suitable for ocean voyages."

Hu Zhenhua seemed to understand that this was not the future, where any medium-sized fishing boat could travel hundreds of nautical miles.

Ultimately, the country’s industrial base is too poor and it can’t even build civilian ships.

Zhao Zhi thought for a moment and said, "What about the inland passenger ship?"

Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are in confrontation, many inland passenger ships have stopped operating.

Guo Dachong nodded: "That's fine."

Yu Bing also thought of it: "If there are no large passenger ships, there must be cargo ships, right?"

Hu Zhenhua imagined the image of a large bulk carrier tossing up and down in the sea.

What if the goods are exchanged for people?

Another picture appeared in my mind: the bow of the ship fell and then rose, and countless people were thrown into the air and then fell down.

Old Hu got a chill!

"No! Fishing boats and inland passenger ships have a shallow draft and can sail along the coastline, but ocean-going cargo ships can't. They'll be tossed around too hard and could kill people!"

Yu Bing immediately retorted: "What's the big deal about losing a few lives? It's better than waiting to die on the shore."

Guo Da Chong was furious and shouted, "Shut up!"

Hu Zhenhua slammed the table and said, "Yu Bing, remember, we are ordinary people now and will be businessmen in the future. Reputation and reputation are more important than life!"

Zhao Zhi never had a stance, but he still glared at Yu Bing.

Yu Bing's temper flared up, and he wanted to retort, but Guo Dachong slapped him on the back of the head and said, "If you're willing to sit in the cabin, we'll rent a boat!"

Yu Bing rubbed the back of his head, feeling that it was unreliable, and gave up his insistence: "Brothers, I don't know what to do when I encounter something. Thank you for your guidance!"

He scooped up the cold rice porridge with both hands, made an apologetic gesture, and drank it all in one gulp.

Hu Zhenhua and Guo Dachong didn't bother with him.

The outline of the matter is already very clear: first rent a large number of large fishing boats and inland passenger ships, and then use small boats for ferries.

"One last question, when do we act?"

As soon as Guo Dachong finished speaking, Yu Bing and Zhao Zhi looked at Lao Hu at the same time.

Hu Zhenhua was quite pleased with himself; this was the advantage of being a prophet.

"Brothers, let me first state that this is risky. You might lose everything. Whether you do it or not is entirely voluntary."
