Chapter 580
Too Improper
Wang Ba's reputation as an arms dealer is well-deserved.
No wonder many small countries in the surrounding area want to do business with him.
To be able to supply so much weaponry, how big must Wang Ba's private arms factory be!
In no time, all the large boxes on the fishing boat were unloaded.
"Let's go, Zhou Zhou is waiting."
Wang Ba's attitude was alright at this moment, and he spoke to Wang Dahu quite amiably.
Wang Dahu didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and headed towards the warehouse.
When they reached the warehouse, a man who looked like the leader stood at the door, flanked by five men in black on each side, their eyes fixed on Wang Ba and Wang Dahu.
"Zhou Zhou, it's been a while since we last met, I really miss you."
Wang Dahu stepped forward, gave Zhou Zhou a tight hug, and said with a smile.
When I heard that you had been arrested, I was thinking about how to get you out. I didn't expect you to get out so quickly. I'm relieved to see that you're alright.
Although Zhou Zhou's face was expressionless as he looked at Wang Dahu, one could hear a hint of joy in his tone.
"Zhou Zhou, time is of the essence. We need to receive the goods. After we've checked everything, we still need to transport them. Don't waste any more time."
Wang Ba stepped forward, interrupting their reminiscing, and said with a stern face.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou took a step back and looked at Wang Ba and Wang Dahu with a serious expression.
He pulled out a list—obviously a manifest—and held out his hand to the two of them: "Where's the token?"
Wang Ba and Wang Dahu simultaneously took out their jade buckles and placed them in Zhou Zhou's hand.
Zhou Zhou carefully examined the jade buckle and, after confirming that there was no problem, returned it to them.
"Everything's here. I'll go first, you guys go in and order whatever you like."
After saying that, Zhou Zhou simply left.
Watching Zhou Zhou's departing figure, a dark glint flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes. He and He Chenguang exchanged a glance, both understanding the situation.
As soon as Zhou Zhou left, Wang Ba turned to Wang Dahu with an unfriendly expression and said, "Do I need to remind you now? Time is precious. Hurry up and go in to inspect the goods, make sure you're accounted for so we can load them onto the ship and ship them away."
Although the two are currently at odds, Wang Ba has no intention of completely breaking off relations, so he only gave a stern reminder.
"You don't need to worry about it, I know what I'm doing."
After coldly uttering those words, Wang Dahu led Jiang Nian and He Chenguang into the warehouse.
Pushing open the warehouse door, Jiang Nian immediately saw the large boxes stacked in front of him.
This is the batch of weapons that Japan wanted!
He Chenguang quickly closed the warehouse door, completely blocking the view from outside.
To close the deal, Wang Dahu took the list and began to carefully check each item one by one.
Jiang Nian ignored him and sent a message to Wang Yanbing and the others, explaining Zhou Zhou's situation. He didn't have time to worry about what happened next.
Upon opening the crate containing the weapons, Jiang Nian immediately spotted the Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle.
He never expected that Wang Ba and his team could even get their hands on an M82A1.
No wonder Gao Shiwei and his group had the idea to trick Japan.
Currently, an M82A1 with ammunition costs $12,050.
Japan ordered 300 M82A1 sniper rifles from Wang Ba this time. Because of the large order, Wang Ba gave them a discount: $11,050 each—a little cheaper than the market price.
Even so, it's enough for Wang Ba to make a fortune.
No wonder Wang Ba was so determined to make this deal happen.
Jiang Nian picked up a sniper rifle, felt its weight in his hand, and began to use it without making a sound.
Seeing Jiang Nian start working, He Chenguang walked directly behind Wang Dahu and delivered a chop to his neck—Wang Dahu collapsed limply to the ground.
With the troublesome person gone, He Chenguang took charge of keeping watch, while Jiang Nian went all out, focusing on modifying the batch of sniper rifles.
Thanks to the powerful skills provided by the system, Jiang Nian was able to complete such a large task in such a short time.
This wasn't the first time He Chenguang had seen Jiang Nian wield weapons, but every time he looked at it, it felt like looking at a painting—a painting that was rather incomprehensible.
Jiang Nian's hand speed is unparalleled; there's absolutely no need to worry about it.
Besides keeping watch, He Chenguang also took the opportunity to check the goods against the list.
Finally, Jiang Nian stretched and straightened up. With the guns all taken care of, the bullets naturally needed some work done as well.
Next, he moved so fast that He Chenguang couldn't even see it.
"Big Tiger, are you done yet? We're running out of time, the ship is waiting. Can you get the goods you've inspected loaded onto the ship first?"
Wang Ba shouted at the top of his lungs outside.
He Chenguang looked at Jiang Nian nervously, unsure of how to respond.
"All done. Wake Wang Dahu up and let them come in and move things."
Jiang Nian put away his toolbox and gestured to He Chenguang.
Wang Dahu woke up groggily, his mind still a bit foggy, unable to process what had just happened.
He quickly remembered what had happened before he passed out—"Why did you knock me out?"
Startled, Wang Dahu looked at Jiang Nian and He Chenguang with a suspicious expression.
"My two ancestors, you wouldn't be trying to sabotage this deal at this point, would you?"
Wang Dahu, who had been trying to figure out what Jiang Nian was up to, suddenly realized something was wrong—it was obvious that He Chenguang had knocked him unconscious.
If we knock him unconscious now, are we going to destroy this batch of weapons?
Thinking of this, Wang Dahu shuddered.
The outside is full of Wang Ba's men. If Jiang Nian really destroys this batch of weapons, Wang Dahu thinks none of the three of them will get out of here alive today.
"What are you overthinking? We've checked the quantity of this batch of weapons for you, and it's accurate to the last detail. If you don't believe me, check it yourself. Remember, I'm more eager than anyone to see this deal go smoothly and for you to get the money safely."
Jiang Nian stared into Wang Dahu's eyes and said, word by word.
Wang Dahu shivered.
For some reason, he always felt that Jiang Nian's true purpose was definitely not as simple as he said.
However, he learned his lesson and didn't press the matter further.
After checking the sniper rifle again and confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Wang Dahu became even more uneasy.
Could the Chinese military really just stand by and watch this batch of weapons flow into Japan? Jiang Nian's implication was that he wanted money. If he could use this money to secure his future, Wang Dahu would certainly be willing. The problem was, he knew perfectly well that since the military knew they owned a military factory, they wouldn't let them get away with it.
If they want to survive, it depends on what Jiang Nian and the others decide to do.
"Big Tiger, what are you doing in there? If you don't come out soon, I'm going to send someone in!"
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Wang Dahu, Wang Ba couldn't help but urge him again.
Even though we could see that only three people went in, if Wang Dahu really wanted to do something funny inside, then everything would be over!
As they were talking, Wang Ba had already positioned his men at the warehouse door, ready to break down the door and rush inside.
Unable to figure it out, Wang Dahu simply stopped thinking about it—after all, things would work themselves out, and as long as he was still useful, he wouldn't die.
"Okay, come in!"
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with this batch of weapons, so let's just let someone come in and move them.
Wang Ba followed his men into the warehouse, picked up a sniper rifle to examine it, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems.
As long as the deal goes through, nothing else matters.
This wasn't the first time Wang Ba's men had done this; they quickly moved everything onto the fishing boat.
Once aboard the ship, swaying with the waves, Jiang Nian quietly sent out a message.
"Leader, Comrade Jiang Nian has sent a request, asking us to clear a path for a fishing boat on the seabed and help it along the way."
East China Sea, Dragon Shark Squadron.
Long Baichuan had just stepped off the submarine and was about to take a break when he suddenly received a message from his subordinates.
If he hadn't heard the name Jiang Nian, he would have thought he misheard.
Providing underwater protection for a fishing boat? Is this really not a joke?
"Jiang Xiaoyu, where did this news come from?"
Long Baichuan remembered mentioning Jiang Nian when he chatted with Director Zeng Maozhe. Zeng Maozhe had clearly said that Jiang Nian had been busy at the research institute lately. How could he suddenly be at sea now, and even send him a request for help?
If it hadn't been Jiang Xiaoyu who came to report the news, Long Baichuan would definitely have started cursing.
"The message came from the Red Cell Team. They said they're on a mission with Comrade Jiang Nian this time, and it was Comrade Jiang Nian's side who gave them the information, asking for our help!"
Jiang Xiaoyu knew, of course, that this was no small matter, so she explained with a serious expression.
When Jiang Xiaoyu first received the news, she thought it was a joke. A military submarine escorting a fishing boat would only happen if there was something special or someone special on board.
If that's the case, Jiang Xiaoyu and her team will naturally receive the orders from their superiors without needing to be contacted by the other party.
This time, we suddenly received this request for help, and the higher-ups were clearly unaware of it.
Red Blood Cell Squad?
Long Baichuan vaguely remembered hearing someone say that Jiang Nian had once gone on a mission with the Red Cell Squad.
"Are you sure it's someone from the Red Cell Squad?"
As Long Baichuan asked the question, he turned and walked into the submarine.
Seeing his posture, Jiang Xiaoyu immediately understood what Long Baichuan meant and quickly turned around to follow him.
"It's been confirmed; the message came from Snow Leopard, there's no mistake. Boss, what do you think? The fishing boat is currently anchored over Northeast Island, heading towards Cherry Blossom Sea."
Jiang Xiaoyu reported the information she had received to Long Baichuan along the way.
When it comes to the sea of cherry blossoms, we must be extremely careful before making any decision.
"Contact the snow leopard, I'll ask them myself."
Long Baichuan spoke solemnly with a serious expression.
If a submarine were to be deployed, absolute certainty must be ensured. As the leader, Long Baichuan had to confirm the accuracy of the information repeatedly.
When Jiang Xiaoyu tried to contact Snow Leopard again, Long Baichuan took out his specially made phone and dialed a number.
Long Baichuan hung up the phone after a short time.
Looking back at the command post, before Jiang Xiaoyu could reply, Long Baichuan had already set the target and given the order to depart.
When Jiang Xiaoyu returned after contacting Snow Leopard, she was completely stunned.
"Boss, what... what's going on?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was confused. Wasn't he just urgently asking her to contact the snow leopard? How come Long Baichuan gave the departure order so soon after she arrived?
Sharp-eyed Jiang Xiaoyu noticed that the place they were going to was the sea of cherry blossoms.
"Comrade Jiang Nian is indeed carrying out a mission. We have been instructed by our superiors to fully cooperate with his arrangements, regardless of the situation on his side, and to ensure his safety."
Long Baichuan said to Jiang Xiaoyu with a serious expression.
There was something else he didn't say: his superiors had instructed that, in dangerous situations, no matter the cost, Comrade Jiang Nian's safety must be the top priority.
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!" Jiang Xiaoyu stood at attention and saluted, her tone firm. "However, sir, Snow Leopard is still online waiting. Would you like to have a detailed talk with him?"
Jiang Xiaoyu stated that she strictly followed Long Baichuan's instructions and did not dare to slack off at all.
"I'll go talk to Snow Leopard. You stay here and keep an eye on things, making sure everyone is ready at any time and not letting their guard down for a second. Before entering the Sakura Sea area, we need to dive to a certain depth to make sure we aren't detected by the Sakura Kingdom. If there are any Sakura Kingdom fishing boats on the surface, keep track of them at all times!"
Without knowing Jiang Nian's specific arrangements, Long Baichuan could only make this temporary deployment. He also hoped that after talking with Snow Leopard, he could understand their plans.
Wang Yanbing was feeling very uneasy.
When Jiang Nian sent him a message telling him to contact the Dragon Shark Squadron directly, Wang Yanbing thought Jiang Nian was joking.
Where the hell is he going to get the contact information for the Dragon Shark Squadron?
What Wang Yanbing wanted to complain about the most was, did Jiang Nian think that they were some big shots who could directly order the Dragon Shark Squadron to work?
Especially Jiang Nian, who actually sent a submarine all the way to the cherry blossom sea.
Wang Yanbing felt that even if he did manage to contact the Dragon Shark Squadron, they would definitely think he was an idiot and wouldn't bother with him at all.
To his surprise, following the signal channel provided by Jiang Nian, he actually made contact with the Dragon Shark Squadron. Jiang Xiaoyu was a very famous figure; Wang Yanbing had heard of him.
Wang Yanbing didn't even have time to figure out where Jiang Nian got the Dragon Shark Squadron's contact signal.
If Jiang Nian knew this question, he would definitely answer him with one sentence: Jiang Nian participated in the development of the latest submarines, so he would know the submarine's communication signal channel better than anyone else.
"Snow Leopard, this is Long Baichuan. We have located Sakura Sea. At our current speed, we should be near Sakura Sea in an hour. Send us the exact location of the fishing boat you requested protection, and we will get there as quickly as possible."
Long Baichuan's serious voice came through the microphone.
Wang Yanbing was so shocked that he forgot to reply.
He was internally screaming "Holy crap!"
Damn it, the most awesome person has to be Jiang Nian.
They actually managed to get the Dragon Shark Squadron to come and do their work.
"Okay, Captain Long, this is Snow Leopard. I'll send you the exact location right away!"
Wang Yanbing was almost frantically relieved that the two were communicating via communicator. If Long Baichuan saw him so nervous, wouldn't people think the Red Cell team was too unreliable? (End of Chapter)
