Chapter 82 Gaining the Initiative!
After searching for a while, Zhang Guohao quickly found some useful information: a personnel list, a list of military supplies, and an action plan.
"No, is everyone's work this sloppy these days?"
Zhang Guohao looked at Chen Yingbei on the ground, speechless.
In my past life, I watched movies where these spies were really powerful, always sabotaging underground workers.
So now they've lost on the main battlefield, ended up at sea, and lost their core skills, right?
Was this intelligence simply left in the drawer?
It seems that the defeated soldiers took good care of Chen Yingbei and gave him a high status. This house is probably inaccessible to ordinary people.
If even a little bit of people had talked to Chen Yingbei, he wouldn't have broken down because of issues like photos, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Civil Engineering Department, family honor, and his own face!
People under a lot of pressure should avoid being alone, as it can easily lead to getting stuck in a rut.
Zhang Guohao carried Chen Yingbei directly onto the bed in the room, covered him with a blanket, locked the door from the inside, and then jumped out through the back window.
Of all the intelligence I found, the most useful was the action plan.
After all, he could read all the words on the list, but he didn't recognize any of the people, so it was actually useless.
The same applies to the list of military supplies. Even if Zhang Guohao knew what weapons were being brought in, he couldn't do anything about it unless he found Zhang Xiaotian and asked him to take action.
This raises another question: the Minnanzi, one of the four major pirate groups, had the most defeated soldiers under his command.
If Zhang Xiaotian were to take action, would he believe Zhang Guohao's words? Even if he did, would he provoke the Hokkien boy?
Even if Zhang Xiaotian makes a move, won't the other pirate groups misunderstand and think that Zhang Xiaotian is taking the opportunity to absorb the Minnanzi, thus forming a united front against Zhang Xiaotian? In that case, they might end up killing Zhang Xiaotian instead?
Therefore, the personnel list and weapons list are of no use for the time being.
The useful one is the action plan, which describes the task execution time in detail.
These military personnel planned to act on the third day. The plan clearly outlined who would seize the high ground, who would control the exits, who would detonate the TNT, who would raid the various pirate arsenals, and who would capture several major pirates.
Why the third day? Because after two days, the duel and the spoils will be settled, so the third day is the time to celebrate, and the fourth day is the time to leave.
Staying in one place for too long is a major taboo in the pirate business!
Zhang Guohao now has control of the entire operation plan, and the first thing he needs to do is to get the ship out!
Preserving my own life and the lives of my brothers is the most important thing.
We definitely can't let the island's plan succeed. If they do, the pirates near Hong Kong will all listen to them, and it will be difficult for Zhang Guohao and his men to transport goods at night.
Now, Zhang Guohao and his gang have virtually no risk in smuggling goods because they are powerful enough to defeat those who dare to stand up for them. They are also willing to spend money to fill the mouths of these pirates with oil and fat!
When you're out in the game, the bottom line is always the same: to make money!
Once these people are incorporated into the army, they will no longer be seeking wealth; they will become part of the military!
Zhang Guohao did not want to see that kind of situation.
But we still need to go back and discuss it with the brothers.
As Zhang Guohao walked out the door, he also saw off a few stragglers, making the area around Chen Yingbei's house a bit "quieter".
Some of these defeated soldiers were drunk and "accidentally" fell to the ground, suffering head injuries and dying.
Some of them got drunk and "accidentally" fell into the sea and drowned.
Others choked to death because they ate "too fast"!
In any case, if no one investigates seriously, these people all died because they drank too much.
These dead bodies will certainly attract some attention, but they won't cause a huge stir. These are not isolated cases; everyone has seen them before.
There's no need to worry about Chen Yingbei either. Chen Yingbei only has one task in his action plan: after the mission is accomplished, he should send a telegram to his superiors to report the victory.
Zhang Guohao returned to his ship without alerting anyone; Duan Tongtian was still waiting for him in his room.
"How is it?"
Duan Tongtian lowered his voice and asked as Zhang Guohao entered.
"Go and call Lao Guo over; things are not going to be easy."
Zhang Guohao waved his hand, not revealing what he had discovered that night, intending to wait until Lao Guo arrived to discuss it further.
Soon, Guo Dagui, who had just fallen asleep, was brought over by Duan Tongtian.
Duan Tongtian casually closed the door, and the three of them lowered their voices and began to talk.
Zhang Guohao first explained the intelligence he had discovered that evening and showed the two of them the action plan.
"Is there a way to get the boat out of here?"
Zhang Guohao then asked the first question: their location was within Zhang Xiaotian's area of influence.
As the leader of the four major pirate kings near Hong Kong Island, Zhang Xiaotian unceremoniously seized the largest and flattest spot on the island, but it was also the innermost location. To get out, he had to pass through the territory of many pirates, and there were many ships outside, making it difficult to pass.
"able!"
Guo Dagui said decisively, without much thought. From the day he entered, Guo Dagui had been thinking about escaping for his life, which was a habit of his as an old sea wolf.
"Then let's find an opportunity to sail the boat out tomorrow, and Lao Duan and I will wait another day."
Zhang Guohao said.
"Okay, we'll wait at the exit. If the exit is bombed, you guys go to the top of the east bank. There's a gentle slope there, and the lowest point is only five meters from the water. There aren't any reefs below, so you can jump."
Guo Dagui said to Zhang Guohao.
While Zhang Guohao and Duan Tongtian were busy with social interactions, Guo Dagui was also busy. He had already taken a stroll around the entire island. Although some places were being watched by pirates, Guo Dagui had found a few places where he could escape.
"Okay, we understand. So, tell us, should we tell Zhang Xiaotian about this?"
Zhang Guohao continued.
"Tell Zhang Xiaotian that he will definitely find a way to communicate with the other pirates, and perhaps these defeated soldiers will be unable to cause trouble. I just don't know if Zhang Xiaotian will believe it."
"If we don't tell Zhang Xiaotian, and he gets killed, all the money we spent will be wasted! And the new pirates might even try to raise the price!"
Zhang Guohao continued.
"Let's be on the safe side and tell Zhang Xiaotian that we're in business, not pirates, and there's no need for us to get involved in their feud."
Guo Dagui said that at his age, he values peace and safety even more.
"I also think we should tell Zhang Xiaotian first and let them handle it."
"No matter what, we have something in our hands now, and Zhang Xiaotian should believe us."
Duan Tongtian also said.
