Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 937: Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda

 “What else is good?”

 “It’s not me who sells it. It’s me who buys it. I buy it from your hand.”

"I sell?"

 Zhang Yong was surprised. What do you have to sell?

The whole of China is in dire straits. Is there anything you need? Tung oil? Tungsten sand? pull.

 You just want to make quick money. What you are getting is sideways.

 “I buy. You sell.”

Tanavaro’s English is very good. Said very clearly.

 How clear is it? It's like level 4 listening. Very standard statement. On the contrary, it is easier to communicate.

I didn’t expect that Tanavaro was so self-aware.

Later facts proved that Lianyuan Capital was tricked by Italy. It's still quite a trap.

 Too far…

 “I need veterans who can fight.”

 “The Italians can’t fight. They can’t be counted on.”

 Some fights are about money. Some are for faith.

　　means to go abroad. Simply go abroad.

  I don’t know how many veteran oilseeds were produced.

 A veteran who can fight? Frankly, there are a lot of them.

 This is going abroad to fight!

 Wrong.

This Tanavaro has a really flexible mind.

Even if you use a radio to contact you, you must use a radio with a power of more than 30W. Even 15W is not expected to work.

 At this moment, Spain is really an area where mercenaries are active. There will be many mercenaries in the future.

 There is no doubt that these will not be written in history books. However, it is real. And played a great role in the three-year civil war.

"what are you looking for?"

 Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

 Zhang Yong understood. In fact, they are mercenaries.

"Well…"

 “Where to go?”

 There are those who support Franco, and there are those who support the other side.

 Are there any Chinese people involved? should not. At least, organized ones don’t.

 Incorporate the identity of Tanavaro. There is no one who can fight except mercenaries.

"who?"

 Zhang Yong was silent.

 The distance is too far. Out of reach.

 Too far…

The issue is…

How far is it from Spain to Shanghai? More than 10,000 kilometers.

 In the past twenty or thirty years, the war within China has never stopped.

 “This is true.”

 “There is, there is…”

  “Yes. People.”

 Zhang Yong answered slowly.

 “A person who can fight.”

"Spain."

"people?"

 “War?”

 Their fighting qualities are absolutely excellent.

"people."

 “Don’t you have anyone in Italy?”

If they are put on the Spanish battlefield, maybe they can really occupy a place.

 As for what to do after going abroad. That's a personal choice.

 Would anyone want to go?

 Zhang Yong really doesn’t know.

 He asked Tanavaro slowly, "What are your plans?"

“I want to form a team of three thousand people.” Tanavaro said quickly, “We have connections in Valencia.”

 “Valencia?”

"Yes. Valencia. We can control Valencia. Then use it as a base. Head to Madrid, or Barcelona."

"etc…"

 Zhang Yong quietly switched the world map.

 He did not know that he could see a map of Spain. So I adjusted to the location of Spain.

 I found the map to be gray. Can't see any information. But the basic city names are still there. With this, there is no need for paper maps.

Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Serbia, Cordoba…

 It seems that the map also comes with some basic tools. Such as ranging, searching, marking and so on.

 It seems that you can also switch to the terrain map. Can see the general terrain. But not currently.

“Zhang, do you have any suggestions?”

"Your idea is good. I agree. However, the distance is too far, so it is difficult to contact there."

“Indeed. The radio signal is unstable.”

"That…"

 “However, we have solved the problem.”

"How to solve?"

“We use a cargo ship, anchored in Muscat. There is a large radio station on the ship. Do you know Muscat?”

 “Let me think about it.”

 Zhang Yong quickly searched for Muscat on the world map.

 Find quickly. oh. It's next to the Arabian Sea. Which country does it belong to now? It doesn't seem to be said.

  The world political situation in 1936 was very different from that of later generations. In the Middle East, it seems to be quite loose. But it doesn't matter, just know where it is. Right at the gateway to the Persian Gulf. Later generations seem to be a battleground for military strategists. But now, no one seems to be paying attention.

 Because at this moment, the oil along the Persian Gulf coast seems to have not yet been developed on a large scale. Not many people have noticed it yet. This is a British colony. But it seems that the British have not discovered oil on a large scale yet...

etc!

etc!

 Zhang Yong's blood suddenly surged.

 In a short period of time, I actually felt a little faint. It seemed too exciting.

Persian Gulf oil!

Ah, oil…

Persian Gulf…

 Take a deep breath. What did Catherine say before?

 Say that you can buy land for yourself at the cheapest price in India? But he was not interested in India, so he set his sights on Australia.

 Now I realize that I am stupid. I actually forgot about the Persian Gulf coast. There are also a large number of British colonies here!

There is a movie called "Lawrence of Arabia"?

 It’s a desert again. desolate. drought. barren land. The price is definitely cheaper.

 If you can get some potential oil fields. Then wouldn’t it be...

certainly. You can’t show up on your own.

 Otherwise, it will be a big loss if the British turn against us in the future.

 You can use Catherine to show up. Or other British people. It's best to have some status.

 In Britain, some old aristocrats actually have little wealth. So poor. However, the aristocratic airs are still there, and there is still some influence.

 If these people come forward to buy the land and oil is discovered in the future, others will not dare to do anything hard.

 Alas, the map is still not perfect.

It would be great if it could show the major minerals in the world...

 【Additional function modules are being loaded...】

 【Mount mineral map...】

　　【Insufficient energy, mounting failed...】

 There is information passing by.

 Zhang Yong:? ? ?

 Hopes suddenly turned into disappointment.

 How weak the energy of the system is.

 Even mounting a map was not successful. Really. Try exploding an atomic bomb?

 Scared.

 Explode an atomic bomb? Close range?

joke…

 Whether the system can absorb enough energy, God knows. However, he is definitely dead.

have no choice.

 Only accept the reality.

 Fortunately, this kind of thing does not happen overnight.

With Catherine’s current energy, it is estimated that it would be difficult to do so. At least until the time of the expeditionary force...

 “Have you thought of it?”

“In the Arabian Sea? Persian Gulf exit?”

"Yes. It can just relay the signal. I have tried it repeatedly. It is very smooth. All my communications with Sicily are relayed there."

"good."

 Zhang Yong's mind gradually became active.

If there is really a large radio station relaying in the Arabian Sea. Radio communication is no longer a problem.

Then the remaining question is, how to find someone...

 Open recruitment will definitely not work.

This kind of thing cannot be exposed. It cannot be of any official nature.

Even, it is best not to appear in public information. Everything is done behind closed doors. Mercenaries are ghosts. It doesn't exist on the surface at all.

 Decades ago, many Chinese people went to the beautiful country of San Francisco, saying they were looking for gold...

 Who is willing to go to distant Spain now? Or go to war...



That is all a matter for the future.

Now, let’s continue to catch Japanese spies and make some small money...

"actually…"

"What?"

 “I also have someone who wants to sell you.”

"people?"

 “Yes. Spanish. Do you want it?”

 “What’s the explanation?”

"There was chaos over there, and many people wanted to go abroad. But after getting on the ship..."

Tanavaro started to laugh.

 The smile is a bit charming. Eat people without spitting out bones. Zhang Yong understood.

Tanavaro is worthy of being a deviant.

 This guy is ready to attack the Spaniards. Just eat it dry and wipe it clean.

 Charge you a sum of money and trick you into boarding the ship. Then grab it. Then throw it into the corner.

 Injustice or not?

Of course it’s unfair.

but…

 This is how the world is.

 Troubled times. Human life is like grass.

 “You don’t want to send them to Shanghai, do you?”

"why not?"

Tanavaro’s smile became even more charming.

 Zhang Yong:…

This guy is really cruel and ruthless.

 Eat the opponent clean and then throw it to Shanghai. Nothing happened.

 No one cares.

 No one can control it.

“Do you want me to throw them into the sea halfway?”

"Don't."

 Zhang Yong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

 No matter what. Coming to China, there is still a way to survive.

 However, if he is thrown into the sea halfway, or directly hacked to death. That would truly be **** on earth.

 Don’t say it yet. Such things have definitely happened. Not even a few.

 Many people may have just gotten on board. It's not far from the sea. He was already killed.

 They are lucky to be able to come all the way to China. In this world, there are many people who are colder and crueler than Tanavaro.

 “You still want to charge me money?”

 “You don’t want it? Then I will all sink into the sea.”

"How much?"

“No matter how big or small, whether male or female, all are fifty dollars each.”

 “You might as well go and grab it.”

 “I only charge tolls.”

 “Ten dollars. The most I can pay is ten dollars.”

"make a deal."

"Depend on…"

 Zhang Yong found out that he had been deceived.

This **** Tanavaro. More ruthless than myself.

  Extort yourself ten dollars per head. However, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. He admitted it.

 Otherwise, if he didn't want it, Tanavaro might really sink those Spaniards into the sea.

 From Sicily, will you be polite?

 He is really saving lives. Ten dollars to save one. well…

 “Don’t worry. I guarantee the original.”

"What's the meaning?"

"Even if there is a beautiful Spanish girl, I will not touch you. What you were like before you got on the boat will be the same after you got off the boat."

"roll!"

"Zhang, we will cooperate for a long time in the future. I am optimistic about you."

“Then take care of your people. Remember your promise. What you were before you got on the ship will be the same after you got off the ship.”

"Don't worry. If someone tells me that she was assaulted by someone on the ship, I will immediately kill him. We Sicilians are also reputable in our work."

"good."

 Zhang Yong replied bitterly.

Thinking to myself, do you still have credibility? It’s strange that I really believe you.

However, since Tanavaro can make such a promise, it can be regarded as giving himself face. The other party really hopes to cooperate with him for a long time.

 Nothing but interests.

 I have a lot of "foresight" and can help the other person make a fortune.

 It is no exaggeration to say that if Tanavaro is willing to listen to his own advice, it is really possible to become the boss of Sicily.

The kind that takes both black and white.

 Now it’s time to take a sideways approach. It will be clear from now on.

 When did the Allied forces land in Sicily? It seems to be 43 years. should be…

 Before 43 years ago, I worked hard to accumulate wealth and complete primitive accumulation. After 43 years, he was cleansed and, under the protection of the Allies, marched towards Rome. hey-hey.

 It’s a little difficult to be the top ten guy. But it is not difficult to become a member of the top 50 and a powerful member of the parliament.

 “Look for me when they arrive.”

"good."

 Zhang Yong said goodbye and came out.

 Find a red dot appearing on the edge of the map. There are labels.

Check. It was discovered that it was Xu Sheng.

 Ah, tungsten sand. Just need to find him.

 However, with a roll of his eyes, Zhang Yong changed his mind.

 Directly to your door?

 Of course not.

Time-consuming.

 Let’s get something better.

 Arrange immediately.

 Change clothes.

Arrests.

 Xu Sheng drove into the concession, and as soon as he turned the corner, he realized something was wrong.

 A car suddenly rushed out next to me. Forced his car to stop. Before he could react, a group of men in black appeared and held him down.

  Seb.

  Bundle.

 Headgear.

 Drag away.

 The movements are completed in one go. Like flowing clouds and flowing water.

 A passer-by saw it. But he hasn't reacted yet. Everything in front of me has disappeared.

Even Xu Sheng’s car was driven away quickly. Leave no trace.

 Xu Sheng was anxious. I don’t know who it is.

 Is it Zhang Yong?

 Damn…

　　I have already given you money.

 You bastard, you don’t care about credibility...

 Suddenly I heard a strange voice coming from behind, "We are the navy..."

  speaks in Japanese. There seems to be a hint of Satsuma clan accent.

 Xu Sheng was immediately confused. navy?

idiot! Navy Red Deer!

 They actually kidnapped me! What do they want to do?

 It’s really the opposite…

“Our navy needs tungsten sand.” The voice from behind continued, “We need a lot of tungsten sand.”

 “Ah ah ah...” Xu Sheng wanted to speak. But his mouth was gagged with rags.

 After a moment, the rag was removed from his mouth.

Hurry and angry, he gasped desperately. I want to observe my surroundings. But saw nothing.

 The rag in his mouth was removed. But still wearing a hood.

"I don't have tungsten sand." He replied angrily, "I don't know where to get it."

“Someone in Shanghai has tungsten sand. But we don’t know who it is. So, we need you to come forward.” Zhang Yong said slowly.

 “Why do you yourselves...”

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, he was already slapped.

 Xu Sheng suddenly cut back the second half of his words. I dare not make any more protests.

 You will be beaten if you protest.

 He didn’t want to get beaten.

 The opponent is Navy Red Deer. Who knows if he will really be beaten to death?

 Silence.

 Satyagraha.

"Snapped!"

 As a result, I received another slap.

 Xu Sheng's anger surged. But there is nothing we can do. I had to endure it.

"If you don't agree, we will hang you on the mast of the Nagato. Then we will squeeze out the oil from your flesh and wash the deck of the battleship..."

 “I promise. I promise. I promise…”

 Xu Sheng had to change his mind.

 A good man does not suffer immediate losses. He didn't want to keep getting beaten.

"very good."

 Zhang Yong took out a wad of silver notes. Put it in front of the other person.

  It is exactly ten thousand oceans.

 This is the deposit. I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

“I will give you a deposit of ten thousand oceans. After you find the tungsten sand, sell it to us at a price of eight hundred oceans per ton.”

"What?"

“Tungsten sand costs eight hundred oceans per ton. If the price is higher than this, we won’t want it.”

"Well…"

"We have placed a deposit. This is a dead deal. It must be completed. If you can't get the tungsten sand, just wait to be hung on the mast!"

"I…"

“After you get the tungsten sand, go to the entrance of the Zhabei Concession. Someone will naturally contact you.”

"yes…"

 Xu Sheng agreed doubtfully.

Then, I felt the footsteps fade away. It seemed like everyone was gone.

 The last person to leave seemed to have untied the ropes that bound him. But Xu Sheng himself did not dare to act easily.

 Until you are sure there is nothing moving around. He opened his eyes carefully. Then remove the hood. It was found to be an empty house. There was literally no one else around. There was only a stack of banknotes on the table in front of him. Neatly.

 Ah, do you really have a banknote?

 Does Navy Red Deer really need to buy tungsten sand?

 One ton of tungsten sand costs eight hundred oceans?

How much does tungsten sand cost?

 Wrong…

The key is…

Who has tungsten sand on their hands now?
