Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1097, Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat plus

 Pick up the phone.

came a grumpy voice.

Ji Li Gua La. Very excited. But I couldn't understand it at all.

It seems to be French?

Huh? French guy?

What was the French guy doing calling the **** shop?

Can't understand…

I don’t understand it at all…

silence. Wait for the other party to hang up.

suddenly…

[Language pack download completed]

【French】

【Zidane】

Information prompt arrives.

Immediately, I felt like a lot of information was poured into my mind.

It seems they are all in French?

Huh?

Zidane?

It seems like something has gotten in...

Is it Zidane's language pack?

I want Sophie Marceau…

But, that's okay. He can now understand the French spoken by the other party.

The other party is saying: "Why haven't you come yet? It's been five minutes since the appointed time. It's been five minutes. It's been five minutes..."

The rest are repeated infinitely. As if five minutes could cause the sky to fall.

Move the microphone further away. To avoid earache.

After the other party stopped roaring for a while, he said lazily: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Of course it was in French. It doesn't seem like there's anything awkward about it.

It's like he was born French.

"Aren't you a Yongchang pawnshop? I asked you guys to collect the things, why haven't you come yet? Do you know how precious time is?" The other party roared again, feeling that his French was not as pure as Zhang Yong's plug-in language pack. "If you don't come, I won't look for you anymore."

"We are busy here and can't get away for the time being. Otherwise, you can find someone else." Zhang Yong didn't tolerate the other party.

If you're that angry, go find someone else. What is it called?

We don't do your business.

Anyway, everyone in Yongchang Pawnshop is dead and there is no way to continue operating.

"You!" The other party suddenly became angry.

"That's it." Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

Really.

I'm very busy here.

So much gold needs to be deposited in the bank.

By the way, what foreign banks are there in Hankou? Citi? HSBC? I don’t know if there is…

"Dingling bells..."

"Dingling bells..."

Who knows, the phone rang again.

frown. There's no end to the French, right? You want to be scolded, right?

Okay, let's quarrel.

There are also a lot of curse words in the language pack.

It is said that when learning another language, the easiest thing to learn is swear words. Used worldwide.

Pick up the phone.

"You are not trustworthy..." Sure enough, it was the French guy again.

"!@#￥%￥..." Zhang Yong immediately shouted back with a flurry of swear words.

"You bastards!" the French guy was furious.

"Baga!" Zhang Yong switched to Japanese.

"Come here right away!"

"No time!"

"I, I, I will file a complaint against you!"

"We are Japanese. You can complain as you like! Go to the League of Nations! Baga!"

Zhang Yong replied.

A string of curse words were added at the end.

Then a few more curse words came to mind. Be prepared to throw them all out.

Made. Swearing? My strong point! Come on!

I taught Chinese, vernacular, English, Japanese, German, and French at the same time, and bombarded me in turn...

Huh?

Suddenly it was an afterthought.

I actually know so many languages?

There are three plug-in language packs, which is really great. In the future, if you add a few more plug-ins, you will really become a superman.

silence.

"You go over now. Our business continues."

"Place."

Zhang Yong changed his tune angrily.

I was going to continue cursing. But the other party's tone seemed to soften.

That’s okay. Just go and see what's going on.

"Old place."

"Tell me the specific address. I'm new here. I don't know where the old place is."

"Hankou, Concession, Bajiao Temple."

"knew."

"When are you coming?"

"Now!"

"I'll wait for you at the Bajiao Temple. See you there."

"good!"

Zhang Yong hung up the phone again.

Very girly. I have to run back to Hankou again. What a joke.

I'm here in Wuchang now! Going by boat again?

etc!

Pinghan Railway?

Is there a railway bridge?

Then oh haha. No. The terminal station of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway is also in Hankou. It's called Hankou Station.

The train station here in Wuchang is called Wuchang Station. It is connected to other railways. There is no bridge on the river yet.

It took the founding of New China to build the first bridge.

what to do?

The only option is to take the boat honestly.

What to do with all the gold, oceans, and legal currency in the **** shop?

It's definitely not safe to put here. If someone takes it away, I'll give it a try.

Go out.

I happened to see a car running again.

So I just "borrowed" it temporarily on the street. I "borrowed" eight cars at once to move them all.

Having a gun in your hand means being willful.

No matter who you are, you must obey.

No matter how big your official position is, are you as big as me?

Military and Political Commission, Inspector General. There are only nine in the country.

Believe it or not, I immediately inspected you!

If you were labeled a red party member or a spy, no one would dare to question you if you were shot on the spot.

Privilege is so crazy.

Move all the way to the shore. Get on board. Then the car was released.

Each vehicle is compensated with twenty French currency, which is considered as gas money. Enough.

Then set sail.

Meet the Tokawa Maru freighter.

All the belongings were moved to Lichuan Maru.

It's safe for now.

Lin Yifeng was left in charge. Zhang Yong led a small team to the Bajiao Temple in the concession.

The concession in Hankou is actually quite prosperous. Although the place is not as vast as the Shanghai Concession. But the various buildings also look quite modern.

It seems that there is a very fashionable nickname here, called "Chicago of the East"?

Prepare to go ashore.

Dress up a little.

Pretending to be a pawnbroker. Put on a silk gown. Wear sunglasses.

There was also a magnifying glass in his arms. Just for show. When necessary, you can take it out and pretend to appraise antiques.

Pack it up.

Go ashore. Walk along River Street.

There are all kinds of foreign companies nearby. Very impressive.

What these foreign companies sell are not ordinary daily necessities. It's bulk cargo.

Almost all related to arms.

Warlords from various places who want arms often send people here to negotiate.

Behind so many foreign companies are the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, Russia, Japan, Spain, Italy, Belgium...

There's always one for you. However, it is impossible to get high quality and low price.

No matter which country's arms it is, the price is very high. This is the unspoken rule of the entire industry.

The shell gun is a typical example.

If it is sold at cost price, it can be up to one hundred oceans.

However, after coming to China, formal channels often cost 300 yuan. That's crazy.

However, at that time in China, warlords from all walks of life were in urgent need of arms. So they paid for them one after another regardless of the high price. A lot of wealth was given to foreigners.

Because the profits from arms were too tempting, some people secretly smuggled them. The price is relatively cheap.

Especially those selling second-hand arms are particularly active.

After the end of World War I, a large number of old rifles were sold to China.

Now more than twenty years have passed, and those old rifles have been worn out.

"boss."

Suddenly someone prompted.

Zhang Yong followed the other person's fingers and looked over.

I saw a person **** under the lamppost in front of me. Seems like a public display?

Go up and watch. I found a sign hanging on it. It turned out to be a thief.

It should have been done by the concession patrol.

The punishment is that simple. rough. brutal.

Pretending not to see it.

He is now from Yongchang Pawnshop. Not a high-ranking inspector general.

The title of his subordinates also changed from commissioner to boss.

Keep going.

Found a lot of gold marks. There are also a lot of weapon symbols. There are also lots of station logos.

Sure enough, there is really everything in the concession.

There are even several yellow dots.

Sure enough, everyone in the world has something in common. Reds are everywhere.

Finally I found the Bajiao Temple.

It turned out to be behind the French club. It's a place name.

There is no temple. It's just a place name. There is a road sign.

There was a black car parked nearby. Don't know what brand it is. Maybe a French car?

There is also a gold logo inside the car.

There was a Frenchman standing beside the car. Smoking. Very impatient.

It should be him. Zhang Yong came up.

Speak in Japanese. "Are you going to ship the goods? I'm from Yongchang Pawnshop..."

"How long do you want me to wait?"

The Frenchman became irritable again. Chatty.

Zhang Yong tilted his head and looked at each other. His eyes were equally unhappy.

"We came from Wuchang." He interrupted the Frenchman coldly.

"It's you who didn't come on time..." The Frenchman complained.

"What kind of goods? Take it out and take a look."

"The price was agreed upon last time. After you make the sale, you must pay in time."

"Look at the goods."

Zhang Yong was too lazy to make noise with the other party.

You have no time, and I have no time even more. This is totally a side mission, okay.

"There are three items this time..."

"Look at the goods."

"This way."

The Frenchman opened the car door. Take out a wooden box from inside.

The wooden box is about two feet long. One foot wide. It seems very heavy.

"Put it on the ground."

"good."

The Frenchman looked around warily.

After making sure there was no one else, he put the wooden box down.

Then open.

The inside is thick silk. Dark red.

Unfold the red silk cloth layer by layer. Zhang Yong's eyes finally flickered.

Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat?

Above is a golden Buddha statue.

Is the blue field jade base below? Or Hetian jade?

Authentic?

Fake?

It seems to be the Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat?

He seems to have captured it once before. They look similar.

This time, though, it's bigger. Frenchies need both hands to hold. At first glance, it looks very substantial.

Awesome. These French guys actually got such a treasure.

How to call this?

Amyrlin Golden Buddha plus?

right…

The Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat, Plath Edition. More valuable than the previous one.

Made. This is also a national treasure!

It actually fell into the hands of the French.

Whatever...

Collect it first and then talk about it.

Once it's in your own hands, it's yours.

"At least ten thousand dollars."

"What?"

"At least ten thousand dollars!"

"good."

Zhang Yong agreed.

It turns out that the Amyrlin Golden Buddha Plus only costs US$10,000!

Seems pretty cheap.

Then I realized something was wrong.

That’s ten thousand dollars in this day and age!

This is equivalent to tens of thousands of oceans. Can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of francs.

For the French, this thing is just a piece of appreciation, far less valuable than hundreds of thousands of francs.

The most important thing is that its origin should be illegal. It cannot be exposed.

If you want to take action, you can only find underground channels. Naturally the price will not go up.

"What else?"

"See this for yourself."

"good."

Zhang Yong walked over.

Found a large piece of jade.

To be precise, it is raw jadeite.

There is jade inside. The condition seems to be good. But it hasn’t been refined yet.

"This isn't worth anything."

"Five hundred dollars."

"I can't afford it."

"Four hundred and five."

"don't want."

Zhang Yong refused.

Except gold and silver. He wants nothing else.

It is difficult to find buyers for diamonds, jade and the like. He's not really a pawnbroker. There is no such channel.

"Look at this again."

"good."

Open a sack next to it.

Discovery is a bright weapon. They are burial objects dug out of the ground.

Zhang Yong had seen a lot of this kind of thing when dealing with the Sophora Agency before. After a cursory glance, I thought it was not worth the money. So he shook his head.

"don't want."

"Why?"

"Not worth the money."

"Two, four hundred dollars."

"don't want."

"This was dug out from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in China."

"don't want."

Zhang Yong still refused.

No matter what the imperial mausoleum is. No, just don’t.

The Frenchman suddenly became unhappy.

He thought for a while and suddenly said: "You are Japanese."

"That's right." Zhang Yong nodded.

"Then I'll give you some information. It's only five hundred dollars. These two treasures are given away for free."

"What information?"

Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed.

This French guy is still selling information?

Could it be a colleague?

hehe.

"You Japanese have high-level spies in your navy."

"evidence."

"The location of your navy's aircraft carriers has been leaked."

"evidence."

"Kaga. The location has been exposed."

"evidence."

"Someone sent a telegram revealing the exact location of the Kaga."

"evidence."

Zhang Yong repeated a word.

This French guy still wants to deceive people. When was this information obtained?

If the other party is from the French intelligence agency, it can only mean that the other party is really stupid.

So unresponsive.

No wonder he will be attacked by Mustache in the future.

"You don't believe it?"

"First, I have to determine your identity."

"I'm from the French Military Intelligence Service. My name is Connaird. My surface identity is the Assistant to the Public Directorate."

"Mr. Connaird, we have known the information you mentioned for a long time. Unfortunately, this information is worth less than five hundred dollars."

"Then you want to know how the information was leaked? Who is the spy?"

"Of course I do. We are investigating internally. But, Mr. Connaird, I don't think you have access to the secrets."

"I have secret channels."

Conrad looked mysterious. Zhang Yong suddenly wanted to laugh.

He was certain that this Conrad was definitely an outsider. What military intelligence agency, nonsense.

Does France have a military intelligence agency? Haven't heard of it.

Moreover, Catherine never mentioned it. She never mentioned the French spies.

Or, not at all.

Or, the French are self-contained and do not communicate with the outside world.

In that case, then...

Mainly anti-customer.

"Mr. Connaird, have you heard of His Highness Yongren of the Japanese Empire?"

"It seems there is such a person."

"If I say that His Highness Yongren wants to replace the current emperor, are you French people interested in supporting him?"

"Oh, you mean, he wants to overthrow the current emperor?"

"Yes."

"So, who are you?"

"Of course he is the one who actively promoted Yongren to replace the emperor."

"promote?"

"Yes. The initiative is in our hands."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Of course we will provide any help we can."

"Sorry, we French have no interest in this matter."

"real?"

"That's right. We're not interested."

Connair refused.

As if to counter Zhang Yong's attitude just now.

Zhang Yong doesn't care.

The opportunity has been given to you. You French people don’t appreciate it!

Search again.

And arrogant.

I really thought I was invincible!
