Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 402: Cooperation with Shanghai Boss

Before Ye Feng left, he found Fan Qingchun and said, "Captain Fan, you will be in charge of the command of this fleet. How about that?"

It is not an easy task to command a fleet of thousands of people and more than twenty ships.

Without the ability to command operations, the entire fleet will be in chaos and will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness.

The veteran Fan Qingchun is absolutely suitable.

He was sent by the Yan'an headquarters. On the surface, he was a squad leader, but Ye Feng knew that Fan Qingchun was not a simple person. In the Northwest Base Area, he was a battalion commander who commanded one or two thousand people and participated in dozens of battles. In terms of his ability to command troops, he was definitely an excellent military officer.

Fan Qingchun did not agree immediately, but said with difficulty, "Comrade Ye Feng, if I stay in the fleet and take charge of commanding operations at sea, what about the battlefield on land?"

Ye Feng said, "I will be on the front battlefield, but we are seriously short of artillery shells and our firepower output is insufficient. We need to rely on the artillery power provided by the fleet. Therefore, this naval fleet is crucial and will determine the key to our victory over the Japanese Independent Mixed Division."

"Okay, I'll take full responsibility for the fleet."

Fan Qingchun added, "There are 19 veterans here. They have high combat skills. I hope they can stay."

Ye Feng said, "No problem, Comrade Lei Heping will also stay to help you, but the war is imminent, I can only give you one day to prepare. Tomorrow evening, I want this fleet to leave the dock and advance to the northeastern defense line waters and arrive at the Sanwankou area. Remember, you must set sail at night, and only ordinary ships can be dispatched, and you must avoid the eyes and ears of Japanese spies..."

Ye Feng has only one goal.

The fleet must arrive at Sanwankou on time, and must be able to provide maritime fire support after the war breaks out.

As for which ships Fan Qingchun wanted to keep and who to let serve as captain, navigator, observer, liaison officer, launch operator, etc., Ye Feng didn't care at all.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

Fan Qingchun did not complain at all and immediately said that he would complete the task.

Afterwards, Ye Feng also arranged a lot of people to provide assistance to Fan Qingchun. Ling Wei, Nan Xiangwan, Monkey, Stone and other agents with rich experience in fighting behind enemy lines all stayed on the fleet side. At the same time, he also stated that he would send a thousand young and middle-aged people over to be dispatched and commanded by Fan Qingchun.

After driving away from the port, Ye Feng did not go to the front line, nor did he join up with Zhou Qingshan and other anti-Japanese armed forces.

Return to downtown Shanghai.

A tea restaurant with an elegant environment.

After entering the box, Ye Feng went straight to the point and said, "Old Liu, how is the investigation going? Have you found any traces of the Japanese spies?"

In the box, besides Liu Wei, there was Chang Qingqing and three strangers: an old man, a middle-aged man, and a graceful woman.

"Mr. Ye~~"

The three of them stood up, bent down and lowered their posture, and greeted respectfully.

Liu Wei introduced, "These three are all big bosses in Shanghai, Ma Yongzhen, Tian Heng and Qian Fang. They have hundreds of people under them. Over the years, the three of them secretly funded a lot of money to fight against the Japanese."

Ye Feng glanced at the three people and learned from the scanned map that the identities of these three people were indeed not low.

A gang leader.

President of a Chamber of Commerce.

Qian Fang, the only woman, controls more than a dozen companies and businesses. She is so wealthy that it is no exaggeration to say that she is as rich as a country. Of course, Qian Fang is only the person in charge on the surface. Behind her, there must be other people in charge of the Qian family.

Ye Feng deliberately asked, "Old Liu, what are you doing?"

Once inside.

Ye Feng explained the purpose of his visit, which was to deal with the Japanese spies lurking in secret.

What else could these three Shanghai bosses do when they get together? Of course, they contribute money, manpower and effort.

Liu Wei put on a fake smile and said, "Shanghai has recently experienced wars and turmoil. The people are suffering and order has collapsed. There have been countless robberies, thefts, shootings and other bad incidents. Now there are Japanese spies lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos. The three big guys are here to help our anti-Japanese armed forces and clean up these cancers in Shanghai."

Ye Feng frowned, a dissatisfied expression appeared on his face, and just as he was about to speak...

The old man Ma Yongzhen spoke first, "Mr. Ye, we are all Chinese people from China, all descendants of Yan and Huang. In the face of a great enemy, no matter who we are, we must contribute our own strength. Although I, Ma Yongzhen, have limited power, in the face of national hatred and family feuds, I am willing to donate half of my property. I also have 800 people under my command, who are willing to serve. Whether they are asked to carry explosives or carry guns to fight the devils, I will never frown."

Tian Heng, with a fierce look on his face, also spoke up and was willing to donate half of his property. In addition, he also expressed his willingness to donate 2,000 guns, 30,000 rounds of bullets, and 50 boxes of grenades to support the war of resistance.

Qian Fang was even more generous, sending a large number of rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, etc., as well as a team of 1,500 people who could be incorporated into the anti-Japanese armed forces at any time. In addition, he said that he would send an astronomical amount of money every month as military expenses.

Ye Feng certainly knew that these things were definitely not given away for free.

What do these three companies want?

one.

They need to be safe to prevent Ye Feng's anti-Japanese armed forces from occupying Shanghai and launching an operation against the local tyrants.

Second.

We need a trade route. After all, after today, all the Japanese devils in Shanghai have either been killed or fled. There is no Japanese devil to be seen in the streets, alleys, or even in the Japanese Concession.

From this point on, Shanghai's land, rail, sea and other channels will be controlled by the anti-Japanese armed forces.

If you want to transport goods in or out, you have to follow Ye Feng and the others' instructions.

Giving away so many assets is equivalent to buying a business route, which makes it easier to continue doing business in the future.

Third.

Invest in the anti-Japanese armed forces. You have to know that Ye Feng and his men have annihilated Japan's battalions, regiments, brigades, and divisions time and time again, and seized countless supplies, some of which need to be sold by businessmen like them.

The stronger the anti-Japanese armed forces are, the more money these businessmen will make.

Ye Feng also hinted at his agreement with these things in his words, and did not make any severe threats.

The anti-Japanese struggle has not yet been won, and mutual cooperation and win-win results are a good approach.

"After the Japanese devils were driven away, our anti-Japanese armed forces had a big battle to fight during this period and could not take care of the people in the city."

"You three families, organize your two thousand men into a temporary team to manage order in the city."

"I, Ye Feng, will stand with you."

"If other gangs dare to provoke us, you can act decisively and wipe out their entire clan."

Ye Feng's expression was serious, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said word by word:

"I have only one request, that the lower-class people in Shanghai have clothes to wear and food to eat, and that they are not bullied or oppressed."

"Even in these turbulent times of war, they can have a good life."

The implication.

The people's food and clothing needs to be solved by these three companies themselves.

If it can't be solved.

The murderous intent in Ye Feng's eyes already hinted that if the Shanghai forces had no value, then there was no need for them to exist!
