Chapter 177 Poaching
Lin Shubing looked at Hansen wearing glasses and seemed to remember that he was an independent journalist with a strong sense of justice, and he respected him a little more.
"Mr. Hansen, you can speak English."
There was a hint of surprise in Hansen's eyes. He didn't expect that an unknown Eighth Route Army would have a general who knew English.
"Commander Lin, I noticed that the photos you just posted show a lot of equipment that has never appeared on the battlefields of China, including tanks and so on. Where did these weapons come from?"
Lin Shubing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Hansen to ask such a sharp question.
Looking at the eager eyes of the reporters, Lin Shubing knew that all the soldiers wanted to know the secret.
Even the lazy Chongqing officials standing nearby straightened up and pricked up their ears.
"My fellow journalists, this is our military secret and cannot be disclosed to you. But I can assure you that these weapons and equipment were obtained through legal means, and the independent column will soon be able to produce these weapons and equipment on its own!"
Lin Shubing's short sentence was powerful and clearly sent a signal: I will soon be able to produce weapons on my own to fight the Japanese, there are plenty of them!
"Baga, I protest! You Chinese people obtained weapons through improper means to massacre Japanese soldiers. I demand that the League of Nations investigate!"
Lin Shubing frowned and looked at Chen Bulei, implying that how did a Japanese soldier sneak in?
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, this is an independent reporter."
Lin Shubing looked at the Japanese reporters coldly.
"I don't need to tell you where these weapons came from. As for killing the devils, that's because you are blind. You are just a tiny country, and you dare to act so presumptuous in front of a great country! You deserve it!"
"Baga, you are not abiding by the Geneva Convention and are slaughtering the incapacitated imperial soldiers on the battlefield!"
"Oh? Is that true? Then what about the civilians you slaughtered? Do they have the ability to fight? Let me tell you one more thing, don't let me see you on the battlefield, otherwise, you will regret it!"
Lin Shubing was forced to make a concluding speech at the end.
"Don't confront the independent column head-on. We will get hurt but you will lose your life!"
The press conference ended with warm applause.
In Chiang Kai-shek's office, he met with Lin Shubing again.
"Shubing, your independent column has developed very well recently. As the leader of a country, I am very pleased to have such a combat-capable army like yours. However, you still have to consider the overall situation and the feelings of Commander Yan."
Lin Shubing guessed that it must be Yan Xishan who came to complain, but he didn't care.
The Independent Column would never give up the territory of Shanxi.
"Chairman, the situation in Shanxi is actually more complicated. The Japanese will definitely not give up and will definitely launch a counterattack. Excuse me, Commander Yan's troops may not be able to stop the Japanese. Let's discuss it again when the war situation stabilizes!"
Baldy Jiang didn't care. After all, Old Man Yan didn't seem to be very reliable now.
"Then we'll talk about it later. By the way, how is Yan Gong doing with you? I heard that he is in charge of your armored division with more than 10,000 soldiers?"
"Well, Commander Dai is now the commander of our 1st Armored Division. He is worthy of being the chairman's disciple. He is the one who commanded this tough battle."
Helpless, helplessness from the bottom of my heart.
A demoted officer could actually shine in the independent column.
It is impossible to verify whether it was Dai Anlan who made the 1st Armored Division successful, or the 1st Armored Division that made Dai Anlan successful.
"Okay, that's it. Just go to Chongqing and see for yourself. It's not as bad as those cheap tabloids say it is!"
Lin Shubing withdrew, said goodbye to Chen Bulei, the controversial "great writer", and hurriedly prepared to go to Chengdu.
There are several people in Chengdu that Lin Shubing cares about the most, and they are far more valuable than those scientific masters in Guiyang.
According to Wang Meng, even if we have to rob him, we must get the person back.
Lin Shubing, carrying the 50,000 oceans given by Chiang Ching-tou, headed for Chengdu under the escort of the special forces.
In Chengdu, they received a warm welcome from people from all walks of life, especially the passionate young people, who packed their bags and prepared to go to southern Shanxi to make achievements.
Lin Shubing was left with no choice but to report to Wang Meng and send people to the border to welcome these passionate young people.
At a reception dinner hosted by the Chengdu government, Lin Shubing found the specific whereabouts of his target - Chengdu Military Prison - based on intelligence received from the underground party.
Lin Shubing went to the Chengdu Military Prison, found the warden, and tried to mediate, but was still politely rejected.
"Commander Lin, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that these people haven't been convicted yet and are not within my jurisdiction."
"Then who can solve it?"
"Zhang Tingmeng! He's the one who captured us, so we have to obey his orders!"
After Lin Shubing thanked him, he was about to push the door and leave.
"Chief Lin, wait a minute."
Lin Shubing stopped and tilted his head.
"What's up?"
"Hey, we have met once. Although I can't help you much, please raise your hand if you need any help in the future."
Lin Shubing knew what he meant. It was simply that if he was really going to fall into the hands of the Independent Column in the future, could he spare his life?
"Easy to say!"
After saying that, Lin Shubing found Zhang Tingmeng, a senior official from Chongqing.
"General Zhang, you and I are both soldiers, so I'll get straight to the point. I want a few of the criminal soldiers you have locked up in prison!"
Zhang Tingmeng looked at the popular Lin Shubing with a bit more suspicion in his eyes. What was he planning?
"Oh? Why would a distinguished independent column and a star team in the war of resistance want a few criminal soldiers in my hands?"
"These criminal soldiers are just criminals in your prison, but they are all hot cakes for our independent column."
After Lin Shubing finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper with several people's names written on it: Lu Tianlong, Yu Ping, etc.
Zhang Tingmeng's face changed. How come they knew about the person who was just captured from Gansu so quickly? Is there another traitor?
"These people are our treasures, how can we hand them over to you?"
Lin Shubing scoffed at this excuse. If it was really a treasure, why would you have locked it up in prison?
It's just his bargaining chip!
"Let's be frank. These people are the talents we want. Thirty thousand dollars!"
Zhang Tingmeng rolled his eyes. Could it be that there were new guys in the independent column? Otherwise, why were they staring at these people in the prison?
Although the money was not a small amount, he still didn't dare to joke with his own life.
If it will really cause huge losses to Chongqing, it would be better not to make the money!
"May I ask what your army wants them for?"
