Chapter 296 You Are the Knight
The next day was a busy one for Gu Wenxuan. He checked in all the furs and Chinese medicinal materials he had purchased in large quantities in Fengtian to the train station. He wanted to check them back. He also had to check all these things in to Peiping.
He even bought a lot of ordinary cloth, which he sent to Ma Zhankui's stronghold.
He was going to transport these cloths to Ma Zhankui's stronghold to make uniform clothes for the soldiers. After all, now that they had become regular troops, they could no longer wear all kinds of clothes like they did during the bandit period.
He instructed Ma Zhankui's men to unload the cloth and deliver it to the mountain stronghold once it arrived at their place.
These bandit soldiers asked him: "Mr. Gu, aren't you going back with us? Are you going to stay in Fengtian for a few more days?"
Gu Wenxuan pointed at Ivanov and said:
"I'm going to Russia with this old Russian, so I can't go back with you!"
Ivanov had also lived in this inn for a few days, so Ma Zhankui's men already knew him and knew that he often drank and talked with Mr. Gu Wenxuan.
Mr. Gu wanted this Russian to go to Russia for some reason, and they didn't want to ask, so they packed their luggage, took the train and really went back to Ma Zhankui's stronghold.
The delivery address for Gu Wenxuan's Chinese medicinal materials and furs was the gendarmerie in Peiping. As long as this address was written, even if the gendarmerie on the train wanted to search, they would not dare to touch the goods.
When Gu Wenxuan was shipping the goods at the train station, he also called Xiangzi in Peking and asked him to receive the goods and sell them in Peking, and then split the money equally between him and the three of them, Sanben Oshima.
He also needs to win over the two Japanese, Yamamoto Oshima, after all, he never knows when he may need them in the future!
On the third day, he informed Li Erdan and his friends to go to the train station. He had already bought tickets to the Sino-Russian border on the train. They bought sleeper berths.
Gu Wenxuan used his gendarmerie ID to easily buy train tickets for several of them, and they even had deluxe sleeper berths.
There are 8 people in total this time, of course, except for Gu Wenxuan and Tan Tai Lengyue, there are only 6 of them.
The eight of them were all in this box, so it was more convenient for them to talk because there were no outsiders in the box except the eight of them.
Xunfen River
This was their destination this time. After getting off the train, they took a horse carriage to Suifenhe. The other side of the river was already Russian territory, and powerful fortifications were built everywhere.
Ivanov actually had a way. He actually found a few Japanese and a few Russians.
They swaggered towards the only floating bridge, which could lead directly to the Russian territory opposite.
This bridge is the only mobile bridge for communication between the two armies.
He walked in front of the Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge, and the Japanese who followed him spoke a series of words to these Japanese soldiers. Others could not understand, but Gu Wenxuan understood.
What these Japanese said meant that they were leading a negotiation team to negotiate with the Russians.
Because both sides have a large number of troops stationed in this place, minor frictions often occur.
These minor frictions would all be resolved through some small negotiations, so often a few people would come from one country and a few people would go from that country. There were a lot of things to negotiate, so the Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge did not interrogate them, but just checked their documents.
They all have formal certificates, and these certificates are not fake.
It’s just that these few people bought them from the army at high prices.
More than ten of them passed through easily.
Gu Wenxuan secretly gave Ivanlov a thumbs up and whispered, "Ivan, you are awesome!"
But for an international spy like Ivan, these are minor problems.
After they arrived, Ivan and the Russians showed their credentials and explained who they had come to negotiate with. The Russian soldiers did not say much and waved their hands to let them go.
Ivan had thought that the border crossing operation would be very complicated, but he led them through it effortlessly.
Gu Wenxuan had originally expected whether there would be a battle, but now it seems that they were worrying too much.
However, when he was walking across the bridge, he saw Ivan put some banknotes into the pocket of one of the Russian soldiers, and the Russian soldier waved to him, so it seemed that they knew each other.
They crossed the river easily and entered Russian territory.
Gu Wenxuan escorted Li Qing and his guard for another 20 kilometers, and then they parted ways with Ivanov and his men and returned to Chinese territory.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge did not notice that they were missing two people!
They returned to a small town and asked for a few hotels.
Ivanov and Gu Wenxuan lived in the same room. Gu Wenxuan asked Ivanov: "How much did it cost you to send us across the river this time?"
Ivanov smiled and said, "It's not much, just 50,000 yen!"
Gu Wenxuan asked Ivanov: "Didn't you ask for money from the Russian side?"
Ivan said: "I am more familiar with the Russians, so I followed them for 5000 pounds."
5,000 pounds was not a small amount. Gu Wenxuan remembered that he had only borrowed 10 pounds from Ivan. He probably didn't have much left after these few months.
This time, he spent so much money to help him, so he felt that he should give him some money. After all, money is to be used, and it is useless to keep so much money in his own space.
It would be better to take out some of the money to support Ivan. Maybe he can help me sometimes.
Gu Wenxuan opened his briefcase and took out ten bundles of US dollars with a face value of $100.
This bundle of US dollars is 1, and ten bundles of course are 10 US dollars!
Finally, he took out two pieces of gold from his briefcase. This piece of gold weighed one kilogram, so two pieces weighed two kilograms.
Although gold was not very valuable at that time, one tael of gold could be exchanged for 40 silver dollars, and his two kilograms could only be exchanged for more than 1000 silver dollars. However, the main reason he gave the two pieces of gold to Ivanov was to share his happiness.
Sure enough, the one hundred thousand dollars did not attract Ivanov's attention, but the two-kilogram gold bar caused Ivanov's surprise.
"Ivanov, consider this $10 and these two kilograms of gold as a gift to you. Thank you for helping me so much!"
Ivanov pretended to be polite:
"Mr. Gu, this is not right. Isn't it normal for friends to help each other? Besides, you gave me so much money before!"
Gu Wenxuan waved his hand and said:
"Ivanov, didn't I hear that you foreigners are not polite? How come you have been in China for so long that you have also learned these fake politeness?"
After hearing what Gu Wenxuan said, Ivanov took the $10 without hesitation and put it into his own package.
Then Ivanov took his two-kilogram gold brick and played with it in his hand, and then he asked Gu Wenxuan:
"Mr. Gu, please don't be angry when I say something to you!"
"Speak, speak!"
"Your gold bricks didn't come from the bank in Fengtian, did they?"
The two looked at each other and then laughed! Gu Wenxuan didn't say yes or no, but just patted him on the shoulder, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Ivanov admired Gu Wenxuan very much: "Mr. Gu, I admire you very much. I think you are what we Europeans call a knight, and also a chivalrous thief!
I really want to be someone like you, but unfortunately I am not as capable as you!"
