Chapter 944: The Japanese Enter the Concession

As the war between the Japanese and the Americans broke out, many things changed, and the impact also affected Tianjin.

Long before this, Lin Ze had already incorporated Dominic and several of his core subordinates into the informant system of the Military Police Command.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Tianjin also closed down, and some of its assets were transferred to the North China Development Corporation.

In addition, more real estate and some rights and interests, including the American Chamber of Commerce's equity share in the port construction, were transferred to another shell company under Lin Ze's name.

These transfers were even free of charge, as the American Intelligence Agency hoped to repay Lin Ze for the intelligence he provided.

Well, it can only be a partial repayment.

They have begun to push the American military to purchase the medicines produced by Lin Ze's factory at a higher price. These medicines are really effective, so money is not a problem for the American military at all.

After all, they will be high-end players who can produce sky-high priced toilets and toilet paper in the future. Raising the total price, collecting kickbacks, and sharing profits are all easy for them. Lin Ze even established a cooperative relationship with several senior generals of the United States through Dominic, achieving initial interest binding.

If anyone dared to investigate Lin Ze after the war, he would end up being shot in the back and committing suicide.

On December 15th, Dominic hurried to find Lin Ze.

"Master Lin! They've attacked the concession!"

"Don't panic, I'll go check out the situation."

Since the relationship has fallen out, there is no need for these concessions to exist. The front army specially sent a battalion commander to clean up the concessions.

The so-called cleansing means arresting people and sending them to concentration camps, confiscating all their property, and all real estate.

There is something to this.

Not to mention anything else, just the confiscation of all property is enough to make people rich. It goes without saying that those who can buy property in the concession are all rich people.

But who knows how much money he actually has?

For example, if he has a small golden Buddha at home and you put the small golden Buddha in your pocket, who would know about it?

So this is a lucrative job. As long as the tasks assigned by the front are completed, the rest can be kept. The senior officers will get it first, then the officers who lead the team, and finally the ordinary Japanese soldiers, who will all benefit from it.

Don't underestimate this kind of "cleaning". If done well, it may yield tens of millions of dollars in property, which will not only supplement the military expenses of the North China Front Army, but also make you, the general, rich.

At this time, the concession was in chaos.

All exits have been blocked, and the unarmed foreigners are no longer arrogant. They stay in their rooms trembling like lambs to be slaughtered.

No one dared to run in the streets. The scattered bodies lying on the ground were a warning to them.

Lin Ze quickly led the team to arrive.

He was dressed in military uniform with the rank of colonel, looking very majestic.

As soon as he got off the car, he asked, "Who's leading the team?"

A short man quickly ran over, saluted, and then bowed deeply. "Reporting to Colonel Lin, I am Noda Shinchi, commander of the First Battalion of the Front Army's Direct Depot! I have been ordered to carry out this mission!"

It turned out to be logistics soldiers, but to deal with these foreigners, sending a battalion of logistics soldiers would be enough.

"Very good, Noda-kun, do you know me?"

"Ha! Colonel Lin, your reputation is known to everyone in the front!"

"Yoshi! Then I order you now to confiscate all assets within the concession, register them, and round up all the personnel. There are many of my workers here, and I want to escort them to the port construction site!"

Noda Shinchi said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, the order I received is to escort them to the station, then load them onto a train and transport them to Jicheng, and then escort them to the labor camp in Weixian."

"idiot!"

Lin Ze came up and slapped him twice!

Noda Shinchi spun twice on the spot like a spinning top.

The Japanese soldiers nearby were not angry at all. Instead, they admired Colonel Lin very much!

Si Guoyi!

This is the real strong man!

Even Noda Shinchi kept apologizing with swollen cheeks, "Private Marseille! Private Marseille!"

"Do as I tell you, and I'll call the Admiral to explain!"

"Hayi!"

Well, they can make a phone call to General Okamura, so why argue? Just do it!

Lin Ze had no intention of "saving" these foreigners. Although some of their families were innocent, which foreigner who traveled across the ocean to the concession these days was not an adventurer?

Since you are here, you have to take the risk and accept the consequences.

However, it would be a bit of a waste to let these people be tortured by the Japanese to Weixian, and then some would starve to death, some would die of illness, and some would die of exhaustion.

You should know that there are still many talented people here, including those in engineering, finance, municipal planning, and even art.

Lin Ze saved their lives, and they worked for him for free.

This makes sense, but the savior must appear in the end, so it’s okay to let Noda Shinchi torment them first.

Lin Ze told Noda that he could use violence if anyone refused to cooperate, but no one should be killed. Noda naturally did as he was told.

Back at the gendarmerie headquarters, Dominic was naturally grateful.

Lin Ze said, "Lao Duo, logically speaking, given my status, I shouldn't be involved in this matter. It's easy to arouse suspicion from the higher-ups. But since you've spoken, I have to protect the lives of your compatriots. But if I want to send them all away, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."

Dominic said gratefully, "Master Lin, I'm very grateful that you stepped in to stop the devils from burning, killing, and looting in the concession. Allowing those people to work at the port construction site is already the best possible outcome. They will all be grateful to you!"

"Then I'll call Okamura right now. You go to the port first and arrange temporary accommodation for them. Once everyone has arrived, you can arrange jobs for them."

Dominic left in a hurry, and Lin Ze picked up the phone and called Okamura.

"Mexi, mexi, Your Excellency General, it's me, Lin Ze."

"Lin-san, what's going on?"

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to waste your time. To make it short, I've already taken all of the port shares held by the American Chamber of Commerce. It's not convenient to put these shares directly in your name, so I've injected them into the North China Development Corporation. You can cash them out at any time. Although these shares are not worth much, they are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"Yoshi! Lin-san, you did a great job!"

"only......."

"Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hiding it from me?"

"Alas, I have betrayed your trust. Many of the foreign engineers and workers on the port construction site have fled since the war. Without them, we've almost stopped working."

Okamura thought for a moment, then said, "Didn't I send people to clean up the concession? There should be quite a few people in the concession who are doing this kind of work. They were originally going to be escorted to Weixian. How about this, you can pick them all. Keeping them is a waste of food anyway, so why not let you create some value by giving them to you?"

"General! Why didn't I think of this? It seems I'll have to ask you for help if I encounter any problems in the future!"

"Hahaha! Mr. Lin! If you always come to me for help with the smallest problems, I'm starting to doubt your ability as a front-line general!"

"Yes! With the admiral's encouragement and guidance, I will definitely continue to work hard!"
