The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Let you go?" The officer raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He casually stretched out his hand and gently opened the file box in front of him. In an instant, a dazzling golden light shot out from the box. A box full of golden gold bars was shining with an attractive light.

The officer grabbed the box without hesitation and said slowly, "As long as your goods are fine, there will be no problems on my side!"

Hearing this, Boss Cui felt relieved and secretly thanked himself for his wise move before leaving to exchange some gold bars for emergency use.

Seeing that the officer accepted the bribe, the smile on his face became even brighter, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down in his stomach.

However, at this moment, a dramatic scene happened.

The two men turned and returned to the front deck. The officer threw the briefcase at the accompanying soldier. Then, turning to the crowd with a grin, he shouted, "Since Boss Cui has so confidently guaranteed that the goods are in good condition, we must thoroughly investigate. We must do this with meticulous care and not miss even the slightest clue!"

The sudden change left Boss Cui, who was immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster, dumbfounded.

The previous second, he was still there smiling foolishly, fantasizing about the wonderful life after passing the customs successfully, but when he heard the officer's words, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Huh?!" Boss Cui's eyes widened as he stared at the officer in disbelief. He stammered, "S-s ...

At this moment, he was completely confused and had no idea what this moody officer was planning.

"If you think it's not enough, I have some cash here, so forget about the inspection..."

"When did I say it was allowed?"

The officer had a stern face and looked unapproachable. He pointed his pistol at his shoulder and warned him.

"You were the one who guaranteed that the goods were fine. We were just doing a temporary inspection, but seeing how confident you were, we decided to let the brothers practice and review our usual training procedures."

"But...but I...that box..."

Boss Cui gestured for a long time, wanting to pick up the box of gold, but when he saw the murderous look in the officer's eyes, he dared not say a word. He could only blame himself for his bad luck, and took out a check for 20,000 yuan from his pocket, muttering with pain.

"Sir, this is all my pocket money. Honestly, I brought some contraband on board. Please be kind and let me go!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The officer took the check with a smile, then turned around and shouted, "There are contraband on board, check carefully!"

After saying that, the guy turned his gaze to Boss Cui and laughed.

"How about you show me the way and point out where it is, so that we don't have to search for it step by step!"

"you!!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Cui widened his eyes, trembling as he pointed at his disgusting smiling face, and almost died of anger on the spot.

He finally understood that this bastard had no intention of letting them go from the beginning. He was the typical one who took advantage of everyone and turned his back on them!

"What are you talking about? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

The officer stopped pretending and kicked him to the ground, stepped on his chest, and shouted angrily in a cold voice.

"Transporting contraband privately is a capital offense. Even if the king of heaven comes, you can't escape!"

"Sir, let's talk, sir!"

Boss Cui was frightened by his sudden change of attitude. The anger that had just surged in his heart disappeared instantly. Instead, he looked frightened and kept begging.

"Sir, I'm just a small businessman. I've been honest all my life and have never done anything bad. Please give me another chance."

He was afraid. When death was approaching, he thought of his wife and children at home, as well as his millions of assets.

What is the most important thing in life?

Being alive, being alive is the most important thing!

"Whether I'll give you a chance or not depends on how much contraband we find!"

The officer did not chat with him for too long, but waved to the warship opposite and called over dozens of soldiers to speed up the search.

An hour later, deep in the dark, damp cargo hold filled with a pungent smell, after a meticulous search and investigation by this group of well-trained soldiers, all the contraband hidden in it were finally uncovered and displayed before everyone's eyes.

On the spacious deck, boxes of heavy ammunition were piled up as high as a hill, densely packed together, almost occupying the entire deck space.

When the sunlight shines down, the metal shells reflect a chilling cold light, revealing the enormous destructive power they contain.

The officer standing by and directing the search operation was also shocked at this moment. He pursed his lips tightly, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

Looking at Boss Cui, who had already collapsed to the ground in fear like a puddle of mud not far away, the officer couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "What a great guy!"

At first, he thought that the cunning boss Cui was just carrying some drugs like opium, or a small amount of guns and ammunition.

After all, smuggling on this scale, while abominable, is not uncommon.

However, after seeing the clear and eye-catching labels on the neatly stacked wooden boxes, the officer realized that his previous thoughts were too naive.

Good guy!

What is loaded inside are all large-caliber artillery shells, powerful anti-tank mines, light and flexible small mountain cannons and other heavy weapons and equipment!

Not only that, there were also astonishing quantities of cigarettes, coffee, alcohol and other military supplies.

It is no exaggeration to say that if all of this equipment were distributed uniformly, it would be enough to support a large-scale and fierce battle involving tens of thousands of soldiers!

"You still want to survive with this thing?"

The officer squatted down, grabbed Boss Cui's hair, and forced him to open his eyes and look at the wooden box on the deck.

"Just this little thing in front of us is enough to kill your entire family. Clear out everything in the cargo hold and dig out all your ancestors for eighteen generations and shoot them all. That would be considered a light punishment!"

"You look like an honest person, but what you did is anything but honest. You're smuggling arms. You're going to have a bad time in your life!"

"Sir, I...we, we didn't do anything!"

After hearing that the boss's family was going to be ruined, the captain hurried over. The man in his forties cried like a tearful man, it was so miserable.

"We just sail the boat and work. What cargo we load has nothing to do with us!"

"Don't be afraid, we will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

The officer patted him on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and then waved his hand and gave an order.

"Take everyone away and detain them separately!"

"Call a few crew members over and tow this cargo ship away!"

With a whole shipload of arms, they really made a fortune this time.

Even if the Independence Army doesn't use it, they can still make a fortune by selling it to others!
