Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 905 Zhuang Yifan's Private Collection

Upon hearing the news, Ye Shaohong showed no joy whatsoever.

Quite the opposite.

His expression was still somewhat gloomy, with a hint of annoyance.

"Tomorrow at noon?"

"This is much earlier than I expected!"

Why would Ye Shaohong act this way?

Because their injuries haven't healed yet.

Only seven or eight days have passed since that robbery and assassination attempt on Hong Kong Island.

In such a short time, Ye Shaohong, Chen Gongshu, and Wang Tianmu will not be able to recover from their injuries.

If they can't take action, then we can only rely on Zhuang Yifan's men and the Jellyfish Assassination Group.

But can they do it?

The people under Zhuang Yifan's command are trustworthy.

After all, they were all Ye Shaohong's old subordinates.

He is a seasoned veteran, someone who dares to fight and take risks.

But what about the jellyfish assassination squad?

Besides Chi Tiecheng, Su Wenqian, Li Beifa, and Shan Leng, Bai Ye and Ouyang Nawen are not veterans from the TV series. Ye Shaohong's newly formed Jellyfish Assassination Group consists of four members: Chi Tiecheng, Su Wenqian, Li Beifa, and Shan Leng.

They were all women.

They don't possess the formidable skills of the jellyfish assassination team members from the original series.

Ye Shaohong wasn't entirely confident about the chances of successfully assassinating Wang's group using their help. Moreover…

According to Zhuang Yifan, there will still be Japanese personnel at the dock tomorrow.

The high-ranking officers of the Central China Expeditionary Army, the head of the Mei Agency, and the commander of the Songhu Command—these were all senior Japanese generals in the occupied Shanghai area.

When they travel together, how could there be few bodyguards?

It was still in the important dock area.

And of course, there were also the thugs and hooligans under Zhang Xiaolin's command.

Difficult.

But what if it's difficult?

Ye Shaohong was clearly unwilling to give up.

He could only frown and ponder deeply.

They are trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

Seeing that Ye Shaohong hadn't given any orders, Zhuang Yifan also quieted down, standing there patiently waiting. A moment later...

Ye Shaohong finally raised his head.

"Yifan!"

"Tell me about your financial situation, and let me see how well you've managed your business in Shanghai over the past two years!"

As the old saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Ye Shaohong will definitely not know the details of the enemy's situation at the dock tomorrow.

But he could also make a rough estimate.

Even at the maximum estimate, the number should not be less than one hundred.

Therefore, our forces need more capable and efficient personnel.

It also needs to have strong firepower.

In Shanghai, an occupied area, Ye Shaohong couldn't rely on anyone else for these things; he could only place his hopes on Zhuang Yifan. "Family assets?"

"Um... Seventh Brother, are you talking about money, or...?"

“Firepower!”

"Firepower, we do have some."

Zhuang Yifan raised his hand and scratched his head, a rare hint of embarrassment appearing on his usually goofy face.

Then, Zhuang Yifan told everyone about his family background.

At this point, Ye Shaohong finally understood the real reason behind Zhuang Yifan's awkward appearance.

Good guy.

Zhuang Yifan is quite skilled.

Although he lived in the Republican era, he possessed some of the fine qualities of the rabbit family of later generations.

That's the fear of insufficient firepower.

I don't know what he was thinking. He was a gangster boss who was involved in organized crime, but he secretly raised and collected a lot of military firepower.

Two Czech-made heavy machine guns, twenty-three Mauser rifles, five Mosin-Ganna rifles, sixteen Type 38 rifles, seven Browning pistols...

The total number of these battlefield firearms has exceeded fifty.

There is also a sufficient supply of ammunition.

We are now able to assemble a reinforced platoon's firepower.

But that's not the most dazzling part.

Most importantly, Zhuang Yifan also secretly purchased two full boxes of hand grenades, and even a mortar he had acquired from civilians.

This mortar was found by chance by ordinary people in the suburbs of Shanghai during the Battle of Shanghai.

In the end, it also fell into Zhuang Yifan's hands.

Unfortunately, the number of shells that came with the mortar was very small, only a paltry three rounds.

Hmm... To be honest, three shots isn't a small number.

I didn't see Li Yunlong in Bright Sword. When he broke through the encirclement at the beginning of the story, an entire regiment only had three mortar shells left.

If he could find an experienced artilleryman, those three mortar shells would be enough to help Ye Shaohong accomplish a lot.

"Hahahaha!"

"Great! Great, Yifan, you've really opened my eyes."

"I'm very curious, what were you thinking, secretly preparing so much light and heavy firepower?"

Ye Shaohong suspected he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if this problem wasn't solved.

"this……."

"Actually, it wasn't my idea; it was Mr. Xu's idea."

"He said that since we were going to be lying low in Shanghai, we had to be prepared for the worst."

"If one day we are accidentally exposed and targeted by the Japanese, we will not be able to escape safely without sufficient firepower."

"It was on his advice that I secretly took control of two underground black markets in the occupied Chinese-controlled area."

"And so, slowly, it took two years to accumulate this wealth."

When facing Ye Shaohong, Zhuang Yifan did not hide anything at all, nor did he have any intention of taking credit. He told him everything in detail.

Hearing that it was Xu Tian's idea, Ye Shaohong could understand.

Regardless, this Mr. Xu Tian is the pinnacle of intelligence in spy dramas, comparable to Zheng Yaoxian.

His foresight and ability to anticipate the enemy's moves were commonplace.

If he can provide enough assistance for his actions, why would Ye Shaohong bother to pursue the details?

He can reap the benefits without sowing, so why would he need to do anything else?

"Row!"

"You guys deserve the credit for this!"

"Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's operation, you will not be able to escape the credit for your infiltration in Shanghai."

"Once I return to the mountain city, I will personally petition the bureau chief to promote you!"

"To be honest, you were one of the first to follow me, and you're still just a major without any real rank. It's really a bit of a waste for you."

In a good mood, Ye Shaohong didn't mind making empty promises to Zhuang Yifan.

It's not really just empty promises.

Given Ye Shaohong's current position in the Military Intelligence Bureau, he could easily influence the promotion of his subordinates. Even Dai Yunong wouldn't refuse Ye Shaohong's proposal without a reason.

This is Ye Shaohong's strength.

This also reflects the current state of the Nationalist government.

"Hey!"

"I'm glad I could help you, Seventh Brother."

"Then I'll arrange for people to be brought out all the hidden weapons right now?"

"Seventh Brother, just give the order to make the arrangements!"
