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

Long Fei immediately nodded in approval and said, "That's wonderful. Thank you for the kindness of the business community in Shanghai. I will also donate ten million silver dollars on behalf of the Longyan Kingdom and the Longyan People's Army to help these citizens."

"what……"

Long Fei's extravagant gesture truly shocked everyone present.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone clapped loudly to express their heartfelt respect for Long Fei.

At this moment, Mingjing whispered to Long Fei.

"Commander Long, may Mr. Bao and I speak with you privately later?"

Long Fei actually guessed why Mingjing wanted to see him, but he had no idea what Mr. Bao wanted to talk to him about.

Long Fei nodded slightly in agreement.

After the business representatives left, Long Fei gestured for Ming Jing and Bao Qiran to follow him to his office.

Upon arriving at the office, Mingjing, worried about her younger brother's safety, spoke impatiently.

"Commander Long, I heard that my brothers Minglou and Mingcheng were arrested by you on charges of being traitors. I want to explain that my brothers are actually..."

Long Fei quickly raised his hand to stop Mingjing from continuing, as some things were confidential and could not be made public yet.

"Chairman Ming, don't worry. After my persuasion, Ming Lou and Ming Cheng have decided to pledge allegiance to my Longyan Kingdom. They should be home by now."

"Oh...really? That's great..."

“Chairman Ming, I suggest you go home immediately. You can ask them for details. Also, I hope you will work hard recently and supervise the work of the relief committee. I don’t want anyone to cause trouble in the middle.”

Mingjing understood Longfei's meaning perfectly, and nodded repeatedly.

"Commander Long, don't worry, I will personally supervise and make sure nothing you're worried about happens."

Long Fei originally had something else he wanted to discuss with Ming Jing, but since Bao Qiran was present, it wasn't convenient to go into details, so he decided to find an opportunity to talk about it later.

After Mingjing left happily, Long Fei turned to look at Bao Qiran and asked.

"I wonder what business Mr. Bao has with me?"

Bao Qiran replied seriously, "Commander Long, my real name is actually Bao Yugang, Bao Qiran is my alias."

"Wait a minute, you said your real name is Bao Yugang?"

"Yes, Commander Long."

Long Fei then carefully examined the other party again, thinking to himself.

"Wow, the shipping magnate Y.K. Pao is actually standing right in front of me! This is too unexpected."

"Alright, whether you're called Bao Yugang or Bao Qiran, what do you want from me?"

"Commander Long, actually, it was my father who sent me to find you."

"Oh, your father?"

Bao Qiran nodded and continued, "My father, Bao Zhaolong, learned that you announced that a public trial would be held in the racecourse, so he told me to come and find you."

"Mr. Bao, can you just tell me what you need me for?"

“General Long, I am actually the 29th generation direct descendant of Bao Zheng. My family has a genealogy.”

"Ah...you are a descendant of Bao Zheng, the upright official of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Faced with Long Fei's surprise, Bao Qiran continued calmly, "My ancestor bestowed three guillotines upon me: the Dragon Head Guillotine, the Tiger Head Guillotine, and the Dog Head Guillotine."

"Unfortunately, after so many years, only the dog-head guillotine was left by my father's generation. When the Japanese invaded Shanghai, my father was afraid that the guillotine would fall into the hands of the Japanese, so he and I found a place to bury it."

“Now that you have wiped out the Japanese, you are going to hold a public trial to publicly try these Japanese war criminals and traitors. That’s why my father sent me to find you, hoping to give you this guillotine and then use it to execute these bastards.”

Long Fei hadn't expected that Bao Qiran had come to him for this reason, but the suggestion to use a guillotine to execute the scoundrel was absolutely brilliant.

Long Fei had no reason to refuse, so he readily agreed.

“Mr. Bao, your father’s suggestion is very much to my liking. I promise you, I will return it immediately after I’m done using it.”

Unexpectedly, Bao Qiran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, my father meant that although the Japanese have been eliminated, the world is still not peaceful."

“We are not capable of protecting this guillotine, so my father wants to entrust it to you. With your Dragon Flame Army protecting it, this peerless treasure will be absolutely safe.”

Long Fei thought about it and concluded that Bao Qiran's father was indeed a man of great vision and insight.

Burying a guillotine underground for an extended period is not a long-term solution; hastily burying it meant that protective measures were certainly inadequate.

Over time, this could cause irreversible damage to these precious cultural relics.

Now that they've emerged from underground, if they encounter war or banditry again, the father and son certainly won't be able to protect each other.

Therefore, Long Fei had already agreed in his heart, but this was a historical treasure belonging to the Chinese nation, and he dared not claim it as his own.

"Mr. Bao, as far as I know, you seem to have graduated from Wusong Merchant Marine College. Have you ever considered pursuing a career in shipping?"

Long Fei's words immediately opened up Bao Qiran's floodgates, and he began to talk at length about his plans to Long Fei.

It turns out that Bao Qiran has never been interested in banking and finance, but has always been obsessed with shipping and has been working hard to develop in that direction.

Unfortunately, buying a boat is not like buying groceries; the required funds are almost astronomical for Bao Qiran.

Therefore, for Bao Qiran at present, buying ships and engaging in shipping is still just a dream.

After Bao Qiran finished speaking at length, Long Fei made a decision.

“Mr. Bao, I can accept the guillotine, but I'm just keeping it for you. If you want it back in the future, just let me know and I will return it to you intact.”

Seeing how sincere Long Fei was, Bao Qiran nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Commander Long. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Long Fei smiled calmly and said, "No need for thanks. After all, this is a treasure belonging to the Chinese nation, and I have the responsibility and obligation to protect it."

"In addition, I would like to discuss a business deal with Mr. Bao."

"Business?"

"Yes, that's right. I want to invest in you. Your desire and dedication to your dreams have impressed and moved me, so I'm willing to help you. Of course, I'm also making plans for the future development of the Dragon Flame Kingdom."

"Commander Long, please speak."

“I will invest $100 million to establish a global shipping group, which you will be fully responsible for operating. I will give you 49% of the shares.”

"What do you think, Mr. Bao, about setting up this shipping group in Hong Kong and encompassing the entire world in its shipping business?"

"One hundred million US dollars... Worldwide Shipping Group... 49% stake... Shipping business spanning the entire world... My God, am I dreaming?"

Long Fei patted Bao Qiran on the shoulder and said sincerely.

“Mr. Bao, before you met me, you only had a beautiful dream, but after you met me, your dream will come true, and you will become a world shipping magnate in the future.”
