The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Despite being impressed, Shen Tunan still had some doubts about the veracity of Long Fei's words.

With a mere flick of his tongue, he could conjure up five hundred million US dollars—a sum that most countries in the world, let alone an individual, couldn't afford.

"Mr. Long, this is five hundred million US dollars. To put it bluntly, even the current National Government can't raise that much money. Do you really have that much money?"

Dragon and Phoenix shook their heads and said, "No."

Shen Tunan almost burst out laughing. So, Long Fei, you've been spouting nonsense all this time.

But Long Fei then asked, "Mr. Shen, do you know the current exchange rate of gold to US dollars?"

Although Shen Tunan felt he had just been humiliated by Long Fei, he still held back his anger and answered seriously.

"Currently, according to the trading price in the United States, one ounce of gold can be exchanged for $30."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei remained silent, instead rapidly calculating in his mind.

One ounce equals 28.345 grams, so one ton is 35274 ounces.

At $30 per ounce, a ton of gold would be worth $1058220.

That $500 million would require 472 tons of gold.

After finishing the mental calculation, Long Fei smiled. His system's storage room contained six thousand tons of gold.

Although we don't have five hundred million US dollars, we can exchange it for five hundred tons of gold.

“Mr. Shen, I can’t come up with five hundred million US dollars, but I can come up with five hundred tons of gold.”

Shen Tunan had just taken a sip of his coffee when he heard these words. The coffee he had just swallowed immediately went into his trachea, causing him to cough violently.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... Excuse me, Mr. Long... cough cough... Could you say that again?"

"I said I could produce five hundred tons of gold."

Shen Tunan was now certain he hadn't misheard, but his eyes widened even more.

"Five hundred tons of gold, this..."

Shen Tunan was speechless; this was even more shocking than five hundred million US dollars.

Long Fei continued casually, "I will go to Hong Kong soon, and I will find a way to deposit these 500 tons of gold into a Citibank vault."

“When the time comes, you should go to Citibank in Hong Kong and use these 500 tons of gold as collateral to borrow $500 million from them.”

Shen Tunan was an extremely intelligent man, and he immediately understood Long Fei's intentions.

"Hahaha, Mr. Long, are you planning to lift up gold only to smash the Americans' feet?"

Long Fei laughed and said, "Mr. Shen's description is very apt. I will send you a telegram after it is completed. Once you receive the telegram, you should immediately depart for Hong Kong, exchange your currency for US dollars, and then go to New York, USA."

Shen Tunan readily agreed, "No problem, we will follow Mr. Long's arrangements."

Long Fei immediately stood up, extended his hand and said, "Very well, then I'll take my leave. I wish you three wolves of Wall Street all the best."

Shen Tunan said in surprise, "Hehe, Mr. Long, I really like the title 'Wolf of Wall Street,' but why three horses? Who else is there?"

"Once you get to New York, go to 730 Fifth Avenue and find a man named Jesse Livermore, who is known as the Wolf of New York."

"However, he has experienced many ups and downs and is no longer as glorious as he once was. I would like you to ask him to come out of retirement and help you complete this mission."

“When you visit him, buy a copy of his book, ‘The Stock Operator,’ as a key factor in whether he will agree to cooperate.”

"Although this book sold poorly, it encapsulates his lifelong trading philosophy and insights, making it well worth reading."

"In addition, you should tell him that as long as he is willing to join, he can receive 10% of the profits."

Although Shen Tunan knew a little about Jesse Livermore, he did not know him very well.

But Long Fei's few words aroused his strong curiosity.

“Okay, Mr. Long, we will do as you say.”

After Long Fei and the other two left, Song Xiaoan led everyone to the underground intelligence headquarters in Shanghai.

Next, Long Fei will begin planning the attack on No. 76 and many Japanese targets in Shanghai.

Ten Jiaolong Commando teams have already entered Shanghai in batches and are awaiting orders to proceed.

Coincidentally, Song Xiaoan discovered a very valuable piece of intelligence in the latest intelligence he received.

That means a formal celebration party will be held tomorrow night at No. 76.

At that time, in addition to all the middle and senior-level figures of No. 76, there will also be Ishihara Kanji, the head of the Japanese Shanghai Special Higher Police, and Kagesa Yoshiaki, the head of the Mei Agency.

Long Fei couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message.

"Hehe, it's better to be lucky than early. These two Japanese spy chiefs are here to die, so let's not be polite."

After Long Fei had arranged everything, it was evening of the second day.

At this moment, Long Fei had already led Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi onto the cruise ship bound for Hong Kong.

Long Fei entrusted the crucial task of attacking No. 76 to the Air Force.

With such advanced technology available, there's no need for the Jiaolong Commando to risk human lives.

As for these ten Jiaolong Commando Teams, Long Fei provided them with a large amount of C4 explosives and timed detonators.

They were instructed to carry out bomb attacks on the Japanese power plants, armories, military police, and even the headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Army where Hata Shunroku was stationed in Shanghai.

A few hours after the cruise ship left Shanghai, at 8 p.m., No. 76 was attacked by six YJ-12 missiles launched by three H-6K bombers.

Unit 76 was instantly reduced to ruins in the violent explosion.

That wasn't all; two more H-6K bombers, loaded with aerial incendiary bombs, dropped four more incendiary bombs on the ruins.

To paraphrase Long Fei's joking words, this time I'm in charge of both the killing and the cremation.

Following closely behind, a series of devastating explosions occurred throughout Shanghai.

The power of C4 explosives was simply overwhelming. Wherever the explosives were placed, houses collapsed, Japanese soldiers were killed, armories were detonated, and power plants were destroyed.

The only pity is that bastard Hata Shunroku. He happened to be feeling unwell and went to the hospital for treatment, and by some strange twist of fate, he escaped this inevitable death.

However, Ishihara Kanji and Kagesa Yoshiaki were not so lucky. They were not only killed on the spot, but were also burned to ashes along with all the Japanese soldiers and traitors after their deaths.

It is necessary to clarify here that Ishihara Kanji was one of the main planners of the "September 18 Incident" and also orchestrated the "Manchukuo" plan.

Meanwhile, Kageyama Tadaaki led the Mei Agency, wooed Wang Jingwei to assist him in his defection to the enemy and betrayal of the country, and supported the establishment of the Wang Jingwei puppet government. He was also the highest military advisor of the Wang Jingwei puppet government, effectively becoming the de facto emperor of the Wang Jingwei puppet government.

The attack on Shanghai, orchestrated by Long Fei, not only inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese forces both domestically and in Central China, but also served as a significant deterrent to them.

Fearing another attack, Hata Shunroku moved his Central China Expeditionary Army headquarters to a basement.
