The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 552

Tianjin is really close enough to Jizhong. This time, going south from the canal is actually a little detour.

Before Kong Jie and his group of merchant ships arrived at the location agreed with the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, the troops in Jizhong had already made preparations and seized a small Japanese ferry at night, waiting for the arrival of the merchant ships.

Soon after, the merchant ship was about to arrive, and Kong Jie said to Joe Foss: "Joe, I'm sorry, I still have some friends here in Jizhong, we need to stop at the next ferry."

Joe Fuss nodded without saying anything. Anyway, what John explained was to meet Kong Jie's needs as much as possible.

Soon, the merchant ship broke down and stopped at the ferry.

Qiaofusi asked the boatman to put down the gangplank, and the friends Kong Jie mentioned got on the boat. Although all of them were dressed in common people's clothes, some of the weapons hidden on their bodies were accidentally exposed, and Qiaofusi even saw them.

The point is, many of Mr. Xu's friends were even carried onto the boat on stretchers.

Joe Fuss' eyelids twitched violently.

He looked at this ferry again, and the devil soldiers around were still standing, but no one stopped the actions of these people in front of him.

This is really strange.

After all the wounded were transported, the boatmen retracted the gangway, and the merchant ship continued on its way.

Full of doubts, Joe Fuss turned his head and looked at the Japanese soldiers by the ferry from a distance.

After the merchant ships left, the Japanese soldiers left without looking back, and the ferry became empty.

Joe Fuss then became more and more convinced of his guess that these Japanese were mostly counterfeit goods, and he also heard that some Eighth Route Army troops in Jizhong had been fighting the Japanese, perhaps these people were pretending.

Then what Mr. Xu called his friend in front of him.

"Mr. Xu, are these really your friends?"

Jobs couldn't help asking, seeing more and more unfamiliar faces appearing on the merchant ship, there were about twenty people resting on stretchers.

Kong Jie nodded without changing his face: "Of course!"

Qiao Fusi made a funny gesture of shooting with both hands, and asked: "Xu, I guess their identities are guerrillas that the Japanese often publish in newspapers, right?"

Seeing that Kong Jie was silent, Joe Fuss said quickly: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry. Actually, I hate the Japanese because I hate those invaders who invade other countries."

"For your Chinese guerrillas, I only admire them. They are in the most dangerous environment, but they always fight against a stronger enemy. This kind of spirit is amazing!"

Joe Foss said, seeming to be getting more and more excited:

"It's a pity that I haven't been on the battlefield, and I haven't even killed anyone, but I have always believed that when my motherland is invaded by others, I will definitely be like your Chinese guerrillas, taking up arms and fighting without fear of sacrifice." They fight."

Kong Jie quietly looked at the excited Joe Fuss.

This Yankee is younger than John, and his personality is more straightforward.

Compared to John, Kong Jie prefers a cute guy like Joe Foss.

"Joe, are you willing to help us?" Kong Jie asked tentatively.

Qiao Fusi said happily: "Us? Mr. Xu, it seems that what John said is too correct, you are not a pure businessman."

Kong Jie said: "I have to be a Chinese first, a Chinese who is unwilling to be a slave to a subjugated country, and a businessman second."

Joe Fuss was stunned, and replied: "Xu, I appreciate your love for the motherland, and our two motherlands have always been friendly to each other so far. I am willing to help you Chinese."

Kong Jie smiled and said: "There is a saying in China that it is not rude to be called. Joe, from today onwards, as long as the goods brought by you are traded with me, I will give you a raise." price."

"Oh my God, Xu, is what you said true?"

Qiao Fusi covered his mouth halfway and screamed, wishing he could go up to hold Kong Jie and kiss him hard.

Compared with helping the Chinese people, this Yankee obviously pays more attention to the reality of interests.

A [-]% price increase is definitely not a lot, which means that in the future business connection between John and Kong Jie, Qiao Fusi can get [-]% of the benefits for nothing.

Kong Jie said: "Of course, we Chinese have always treated our friends sincerely, but what happened today..."

"Oh, Xu, my friend, did something happen today? You just brought some very normal friends and took a ride on a merchant ship."

"In the future, I mean in the future, as friends, your friends are my friends. If you still have such friends who need to take a merchant ship, I will never refuse."

Joe Fuss replied with a smile on his face.

This is naturally what Kong Jie and others said. This time, with the help of the American merchant ship, Kong Jie has a deep understanding of the convenience of the journey, and the money is definitely worth the money.

With the help of this transportation route and the name of the American businessman, there are still many things to do!
Right now, it is a wise move to stabilize this business chain and secure partners.

...The merchant ship continued on its way, and arrived at the confluence of the canal and the Yellow River that afternoon.

Outside the Tianjin Concession.

At around eight in the morning, the pot exploded again.

Suspected by the Japanese army, Zhao Guo, an academic professor who was guarded by the Japanese army, and Qian Xuezhong and Chen Dong, three scientists from the factory, have disappeared.

The Japanese soldiers who were guarding the three professors were killed silently at night.

The devil was completely angry.

These days are really eventful. First, banks and vaults were robbed consecutively, not to mention the robbers could not be found.

Now the three Chinese professors are missing, and the guards were killed.

In a rage, the Japanese military government ordered a thorough city-wide investigation to find the three missing professors.

The Japanese Major, who was in charge of the investigation, quickly focused on some merchant ships that left Tianjin during this period.

However, as a leased place with frequent foreign trade, Tianjin has a relatively large amount of daily merchant ships.

Even the merchant ships transported by the Yellow River are not limited to the Joe Foss family.

Some ships belonged to British and American merchants, and some even belonged to Soviet merchants. The Japanese army was also very troubled by this. If these merchant ships could not provide conclusive evidence, they would search rashly, which would easily cause friction.

In order to make up their minds to find out the real culprit, the Japanese army did not move the merchant ships of these foreign merchants for the time being, but directly ordered to temporarily block all the ferry crossings, strictly prohibiting the entry and exit of merchant ships.

Then the whole city was searched, and the missing professor could not be found even after digging three feet.

That day, the Japanese army commander bit the bullet and searched several British and American merchant ships, but found nothing. Instead, he received strong protests from many British and American merchants.

Afterwards, Major Guizi found out that three merchant ships had left before the ferry was blocked.

One was a merchant ship left by the company of American merchant John.

There are also two merchant ships of British merchants and Soviet merchants.

Guizi Shaozuo came to the door with his troops, nicknamed "Friendly Inquiry".

The result was that no one paid attention to it. The American businessman John and the British businessman had a very tough attitude.

He firmly insisted that there would be absolutely no anti-Japanese elements in his caravan, let alone any Chinese army, but purely some goods and company members.

The Soviet businessman was even annoyed and proposed a Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty to threaten the Japanese army.

The devil Shao Zuo touched the ashes of his nose, and finally returned without success.

But Major Devil, who did not intend to give up on this, decided to intercept the three merchant ships on the way regardless of the objections of these British, American and Soviet businessmen.

He always felt that the three Chinese professors who disappeared were probably among the three merchant ships.

It's just a pity that when the Japanese army ordered to intercept the merchant ships at the ferry, the merchant ships on Kong Jie's side had already entered the Yellow River waterway from the intersection and arrived in Henan.

The Yellow River waterway in Henan, after the Huayuankou burst its embankment, caused millions of people to be displaced and starved to death.

The river channel is getting wider and smoother.

It has even become one of the most convenient water transportation routes for many national army warlords to smuggle with the Japanese army.

As for the passage of merchant ships, the management method of the garrison troops is quite simple. You can get a commission, and you can take it if you have money, regardless of whether you are smuggling or what.

In this way, the order issued by the Japanese commander to intercept at the ferry failed to catch up with the merchant ships of Kong Jie and his party.

Under the banner of American merchants, the merchant ship arrived in Shanxi smoothly.

merchant ship.

After Qiao Fusi walked away, Ye Min walked up to Kong Jie and reported in a low voice: "Leader, there is something that you may be interested in. Among the wounded who came this time, one of the wounded was actually the former leader Ding Wei. The commander of the third battalion of the 28th Regiment!"

"Oh, and this thing? Take me to see."

"Yes!"

A moment later, lying on a stretcher, Lu Shunmin, who was a little weak, was about to salute Kong Jie.

Kong Jie hurriedly stopped him and said, "Comrade Shunmin, don't be so polite. You are seriously injured now, so you need to rest well."

"Yes!" Lu Shunmin replied, seeing Kong Jie, his expression was obviously a little excited, "Commander Kong, I am in the Jizhong Military Region, and I have heard your name a lot in the past year. See you here."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Comrade Shunmin, I think you should stop hiding it. You just want to inquire about your old regiment leader Ding Wei from me. Look at your fox tail is obvious!"

Lu Shunmin smiled a little embarrassedly, but did not deny it, but asked directly: "Is the old regiment leader okay?"

Kong Jie said: "Okay, can that be good? You don't know, Lao Ding is lucky! He just reported to the headquarters, and happened to meet Li Yunlong who violated discipline and was kicked out. Your old team leader He took over a main team in vain, and he has won many battles over the past year."

Lu Shunmin said with emotion: "As expected of the old regiment leader, his ability to fight can't be buried anywhere."

"It's our 28th regiment. Since the old regiment leader left, hey..."
