Li Yuanhong has never been stingy to his subordinates. This banquet was all good stuff from Vladivostok. Vladivostok is a metropolis with a population of nearly one million. It is an important shipping transit center in the Far East and an important naval base. The materials stored are unimaginable. However, due to the existence of more than 100000 zombies, Li Yuanhong really wasted a lot of energy It took three days to clean up the zombies in the city.
Li Yuanhong also knew that Hunchun's food crisis was urgent. So he had just occupied Shenwei, the territorial sea, and had no time to make a detailed inventory, so he rushed back with two ships of supplies. However, Li Yuanhong did not want to let go of the troublemakers, so he asked Shang Qiuyuan to let Gao Zhiyuan secretly transport the materials into the city to avoid Chen Yong's ears and eyes. The next day, he also paid a high price in the name of two other shops Ge sold 200 tons of grain to Chen Yong, but Chen Yong did not know about it.
In order to make the drama complete, Li Yuanhong specially ordered that the normal food supply be restored in the late half day, and Chen Yong was asked to relax his vigilance. As a result, he sold grain in the afternoon and asked Chen Yong to spit out the hard to recover grain money. Of course, this was something that Li Yuanhong did not expect.
During the dinner, everyone drank and celebrated enthusiastically. Some even inquired about the source of these grains. Li Yuanhong asked shangqiuyuan to declare to the public that these grains were secretly stored in Hunchun City, and told everyone that the grain reserves here will absolutely guarantee the safety of people's grain use. No one can buy these grains without a million crystal cores.
With this sentence, we were completely relieved, so we pushed the cup to change the cup, and the meeting was over only after everyone was satisfied with the wine.
Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Hu and Shangqiu yuan turned to Li Yuanhong and asked, "brother Li, what do you mean by the party today? I always feel that your celebration banquet is a little strange? "
"What's wrong?" Li Yuanhong looked at the two men with a smile.
"We are just resuming normal sales. How can we call it victory? Besides, Chen Yong, who was in trouble, is still good. How can we say victory? What's more, the grain we use is all brought back by you. Is there a secret grain reserve? " Liu Hu said his questions.
"Don't you wonder why Chen Yong is always staring at our grain? How does he know the amount of grain we have stored? If he didn't know how much we were storing, he would never have calculated us so accurately. " Li Yuanhong asked.
"Brother Li said someone leaked the secret?" Liu Hu said with some doubts.
"Well, the leak is certain. I even suspect that among the people who drank wine just now, Chen Yong sent the undercover."
"Ah!" Liu Hu and Shang Qiuyuan were surprised at the same time.
"When we were drinking, a few people asked us about the source of our food. They asked us whether our grain was stored in secret."
Liu Hu and Shangqiu yuan recalled it for a while, and then nodded: "there are so two people who asked."
"If you think about it, should you ask? If you want to know, what do you ask? If I was curious, I would at most ask: where did the grain come from. However, they brought out a secret granary, which can only be said that the people who let them inquire think that we have a secret granary. " Li Yuanhong analyzed.
"Then, brother Li, why do you admit that we have a secret granary?" Liu Hu asked again.
"Since they want an answer, of course, they should give them an answer, so as to satisfy their curiosity and at the same time cover our real food source. Our strategy of eastward expansion should be kept as few people as possible. It can be our secret base. And what would you do if you knew your food program had failed? There are two ways to choose. One is to do nothing and admit your failure. The second is to destroy the secret reserve and regain the initiative. Which way would you choose? " Li Yuanhong looked at the two men with great significance.
The two men also fell into meditation, because the two roads are not easy to choose. First, if the punishment for failure is not big, and there is food in hand, it is very important to lose some money. But if there are other huge punishments behind it, it will be different. If we succeed in the second way, we will turn the tide back and turn the defeat into victory. But if we fail, we will lose the chance to turn the tables and even lose our lives.
"Is it hard to choose?" Li Yuanhong asked with a smile.
"If it was me, I would choose the first way. After all, I still have a lot of food in hand. If I transport the grain to other places and sell it, I will lose less. I don't think the price of grain in other places will be as cheap as ours." Shang Qiuyuan said.
"Well, you're right. If he's a businessman, he'll take the first road, but he's not. Liu Hu, what do you think he does? " Li Yuanhong left the topic to Liu Hu.
Liu Hu thought for a moment and then said, "this man makes me feel strange. In his words and deeds, he always seems to be hiding something. He looks like a businessman, but he always feels that there is something missing."
"No shrewd eye for profit!" Shang Qiuyuan added.
"Yes, yes, but without that shrewdness." Liu Hu said.
"Hehe, you only guess that he is not a businessman, but you don't see that he is a soldier." Li Yuanhong said.
"Soldier?" Liu Hu and Shangqiu yuan were stunned again."Well, a soldier, although he can hide, he can't cover up the sharp eyes of a soldier, the military walking posture when he walks, and the soldier standing posture that he shows unconsciously when he stands. As a soldier, it is his bounden duty to carry out orders. If he comes this time, it will be a military order, and this military order is a death order. He must find a way to complete it. Then he will choose the second way, even if it is a dead end. " Li Yuanhong said in a low voice.
Li Yuanhong's words also made Liu Hu and Shangqiu Yuanwei silent. This choice is a kind of sadness. If it is for the sake of the great righteousness, it can be said in the past. However, Hunchun city has always been stagnant and has never been in conflict with other forces. Moreover, Li Yuanhong opened the trade and mercenary Association, and in a disguised form, helped the surrounding survivors.
Li Yuanhong continued: "no matter what his orders are, I must protect our camp, so if he dares to come, it will be a dead end. However, we can't let him get this information easily. Otherwise, the other party will not believe it and become suspicious. Therefore, we need those spies to send out the information. Moreover, it should look natural. Liu Hu and Shangqiu yuan, you two discuss how to use those undercover agents. "
"Well, brother Li, I'll let those undercover agents know what will happen if they dare to be undercover here!" Liu huzhuo's arm and sleeve are in a fight.
"Don't scare the snake. These people may be useful. Don't let them feel exposed."
"Yes, brother Li, make sure to finish the task!"
"By the way, Liu Hu, it's time for us to establish our own intelligence system, or we will be in danger if the enemy attacks us one day and we haven't noticed it yet."
"What name shall we give this team?" Liu Hu asked suddenly.
Li Yuanhong thought for a moment, and then said, "since this army belongs to the secret army, let's call it the shadow force."
In the next two days, Hunchun city returned to calm again, and grain prices stabilized again due to the official supply recovery of Hunchun. However, Chen Yong is not so happy. The crystal nucleus in his hands was almost exhausted in the process of purchasing a large amount of grain. However, the grain he exchanged could only be sold at the original price or even at a discount. In order to control the market, many of the grains he bought were bought at a price twice the market price. As soon as he entered and exported, he lost half of it. This did not include the labor cost, tax and rent 。
Of course, money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I didn't finish the task assigned to me and followed the normal plan He should have controlled the grain market and disturbed the people's will of Hunchun City, and then, at the right time, launch a puppet to replace Li Yuanhong. By then, Hunchun city will be in the hands of its own vanguard, but now nothing can be achieved. Chen Yong is pacing around the office, thinking about countermeasures. At this time, the door is knocked.
"Come in!" Chen Yong said in a low voice.
The door was opened and his valet came in. A stream of fresh air also came in. However, Chen Yong did not feel comfortable, but became more irritable.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yong's voice was full of anger.
"Well, the news came from the inside that we found the warehouse where the grain was stored secretly." The attendant said carefully.
