Chapter 410 Surprise Attack on the Korean National Salvation Army's Base

As is customary, today is not their usual day for contact.

Ye Shaohong came over because he received an urgent request for a meeting from Zhuang Yifan.

So he was still very curious.

Zhuang Yifan knew Ye Shaohong's temperament well, so he didn't dare to delay or hesitate. After swallowing the ice cream in his hand in two bites, he opened his mouth to explain.

"Section Chief, I just received orders from Zhang Xiaolin."

"He ordered me to lead a raid tonight on the Korean National Salvation Army's base in the Yellow River flood area of ​​Zhabei..." Upon hearing this news, Ye Shaohong immediately raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"A surprise attack on the Korean National Salvation Army's base?"

What is Zhang Xiaolin planning to do?

Why would a gangster boss target the Korean National Salvation Army?

Ye Shaohong was very puzzled. He couldn't understand Zhang Xiaolin's thoughts. Historically, this one of the three big bosses of the Shanghai underworld was a traitor who betrayed his country and became a collaborator.

But the Second Battle of Shanghai hasn't even started yet.

The power of the Japanese was not at its peak.

At this time, Zhang Xiaolin attacked the Korean National Salvation Army. Could it be that he has now colluded with the Japanese?

It's really possible.

After all, of the three bigwigs in Shanghai, Zhang Xiaolin was the most spineless. He was still a power-hungry official.

As for the Korean National Salvation Army, Ye Shaohong never even considered their lives.

To be honest, he had absolutely no good feelings towards Korea.

Let's not even talk about the great nation that is the origin of the universe, which is now a source of internet jokes.

Even in this day and age, Koreans aren't exactly saints.

Since the start of the Japanese invasion of China on September 18, 1931, Koreans, under the organization of the Japanese, joined the army that invaded China.

In 1973, a Japanese person published a statistical article.

They claimed that among the more than 250 million Japanese troops who invaded China, there were 160 million Korean soldiers, of whom 38 were stationed in "Manchukuo" year-round.

They also said that the later Korean president Park Geun-hye, who was assassinated, had the Japanese name Takagi Masao at the time.

He once served in the Sixth Army of the puppet Manchukuo regime.

Of course, the credibility of such statistics compiled by Japanese people is not high.

But this also confirms something from another perspective.

During the invasion of China, Koreans did indeed commit numerous crimes in China, and there are even rumors that Koreans were involved in the Nanjing Massacre.

We will not comment on whether the matter is true or false for the time being, since historical records are complex and it is difficult for ordinary people like us to know the truth.

However, according to verifiable information, Koreans did indeed provide a significant number of soldiers to the Japanese during the invasion of China.

According to online sources, there are more than 60 military personnel and their families.

The actual number of soldiers who participated in the war was over 20.

Their homeland was defeated and occupied, and they turned around and became accomplices to evil.

They have never hesitated to kill my Chinese people.

Could Ye Shaohong possibly have a favorable impression of such a country?

He wouldn't say he wanted to eliminate them as soon as possible, but it was pretty close, so naturally he wouldn't care about the fate of the Goryeo National Salvation Army.

"Any other news?"

"For example...who has Zhang Xiaolin been in contact with lately?"

Why did he take action against the Korean National Salvation Army?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ye Shaohong ultimately did not make a hasty decision; he wanted to obtain more information to confirm his suspicions.

"There's no concrete information, but there is a rumor."

Zhuang Yifan shifted his muscular, bear-like body and spoke in a low voice, which looked quite unique.

"Oh?" "As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Even rumors may have some basis."

"You tell me first."

Ye Shaohong glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before casually replying.

"It is said that... the Korean National Salvation Army has recently received a sum of overseas funds."

"The amount is as high as $180,000."

Zhuang Yifan responded in a low voice.

"Greed for money?"

"That's quite in line with Zhang Xiaolin's temperament."

"That's fine."

“Those who are not of my ethnicity are bound to have different hearts. What do I care about the life or death of the Koreans?”

"Since he wants to take action against the Korean National Salvation Army, then you can take your men there. I will arrange for people to follow behind."

"If it is ultimately confirmed that there is indeed money in their base, we will stage a show and take the money."

"If not...

Ye Shaohong didn't say the last few words aloud, but Zhuang Yifan already understood their meaning.

He immediately narrowed his eyes.

A glint of cold light flashed from the corner of Zhuang Yifan's eyes.

"it is good."

"I know how to do it."

"There's another piece of news. You've been asking me to keep an eye on smuggling channels in Shanghai. In three days, a cargo ship from Hong Kong will be arriving in Hong Kong."

"There are a lot of medicines, gasoline, and communication equipment on this cargo ship."

"It's said that Mrs. Zhang Xiaolin secretly sent someone to purchase it." "Section Chief, should we make a move and snatch it?"

Ye Shaohong arranged for Zhuang Yifan to infiltrate the Shanghai underworld in order to monitor its activities, and it seems to be working quite well so far.

Zhuang Yifan's rapid rise to power has allowed him to uncover a great deal of information.

Now he has given Ye Shaohong another generous gift.

"What is its specific value? Do you know?"

Ye Shaohong's eyes lit up, and he asked without hesitation, as he was indeed intrigued.

"not sure."

"Zhang Xiaolin's share of smuggling is not high, less than 10% of the Shanghai black market."

"He was extremely greedy. Compared to smuggling medicines, oil, alcohol, and communication equipment, he preferred to smuggle and sell opium." "Therefore, his smuggling business was always controlled by his first wife, Lou Liqin."

"I haven't had much contact with Lou Liqin. The information I received this time was obtained by chance from her maids."

Zhuang Yifan shook his head, also looking frustrated at not being able to obtain the specific details of the intelligence.

But since he had already found out, he decided to tell the story.

Whether or not to take action depends on Ye Shaohong's decision.

"We don't care how many of these voices there are, we have to take them."

"You don't need to worry about this."

"I will arrange for someone to take over the handling of this matter. If we can hijack this cargo ship in international waters, you will be credited for it."

Ye Shaohong casually picked up a piece of water chestnut cake from the table, popped it into his mouth, and grinned. "It tastes good. I'll pack the cake up and take it with me. I'll let Manli try it when I get back."

"I'll call you to let you know when and where we'll meet next. Just be a good gangster boss. Maybe one day I'll even visit your Cinque Terrell Ballroom."

"By the way... I heard that the top courtesan in your area is quite good. Is her name Liu Rusi?"

"Keep an eye on her for me; she might be very useful in the future!"
