Chapter 980 The deal is concluded
"Humph, they didn't care when you were just making small moves before, but now this business is too broad and you can't take it all on." Tang Ji said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, you are right." The director of the shelter nodded quickly and then looked at Tang Ji expectantly.

Seeing that the other party was quite sensible, Tang Ji was indeed tempted. After all, the profit of penicillin was too huge, but he was still a little worried:

"Are you sure the supply is stable?"

"It should be fine." The shelter director said stiffly.

"Okay, I hope that's okay, otherwise the bench of the Military Control Commission won't be so easy to sit on." Tang Ji sneered:
"In this way, you can only take half of the profit from this business~!"

Upon hearing this, the director of the shelter was stunned. If he just gave away 95% of the money, wouldn’t that be a waste of time?
"Halfway is enough. If you run it yourself, can you really take all the profits? Some money doesn't mean you will live to spend it, you know?"

"In fact, I can only take 25% of this 95%!" Tang Ji glanced at him and said calmly:

"The other 80%, the Military Control Commission, the General Staff, the Headquarters, the War Zone Commanders, who doesn't need to be bribed? Recruiting intellectuals and naval and air force officers and soldiers doesn't cost money? Don't the superiors who handle them get a share of the money?"

"Pilots are not ordinary people. Each of them is a treasure. If they don't share a little, who can take it from them?"

"Yes, I understand, Master. Thank you for your concern on this matter!" The director of the shelter immediately understood and said with a disappointed tone. He knew that the other party was telling the truth.

"Well, we are all in the same boat, so we will care when we need to!" Tang Ji said, picking up the teacup.

Seeing the teacup, the shelter director stood up, said goodbye, and left.

······
On a hidden path by the Nujiang River, a team of thousands of people was waiting here.

The team is mostly composed of army soldiers, but there are also navy soldiers and five pilots.

Yes, those five pilots, five unlucky ones.

No, they should be said to be lucky ones, because they were also sold to this team, but they were sold voluntarily.

Before this, someone contacted them and asked if they would be willing to cross the river if they could fly a fighter jet.

They were all veterans who had survived hundreds of battles. Several consecutive air battles had made the Air Force a branch of the military in name only, and these pilots had no place to use their skills.

I just drank some wine at the training base every day. At the beginning, I could still fly the trainer plane, but later I ran out of fuel and couldn’t even fly the trainer plane.

Now their will became even more depressed. Someone found them and said that if they were willing to cross the Nujiang River, they could provide fighter jets. When they heard the news, they thought it was false, but after repeated confirmation, they found it was true.

The five surviving veterans were instantly excited. Their comrades and brothers were shot down by Xiaori fighter planes, and some of them could not even find their bodies. The national hatred, family hatred and brotherly hatred accumulated together made them resolutely cross the river just to fly a fighter plane.

There is also a coach among them, but this coach is a bit miserable.

He was the only one left in his brigade; all his comrades, trainees, and apprentices had died. He was determined to die and wanted to die together with Xiao Rizi, so he flew his training plane towards Xiao Rizi.

He also left a shocking remark: "My students have all died in the battle, now it's my turn as a teacher to take over."

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. He did not die in the battle. Instead, he survived with his bravery. After all, in daily life, one is not willing to use porcelain to touch earthenware jars.

Although he survived, his plane could not fly. As soon as he landed, the fighter who had fought with him before launched a surprise attack and shot his plane down on the airport runway.

In the days without planes, he couldn't even seek death, and his will gradually weakened. After all, all his brothers, comrades-in-arms, students and apprentices were dead, and he was the only one who survived. This was more painful than death.

So when the Military Control Commission found him and asked him if he wanted to fly a fighter plane to take revenge, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Why haven't you come yet? What if Xiao Ri finds out?" A man who was obviously a veteran soldier couldn't help but say.

He just wanted to earn some money to settle down so that his family could live a better life. After all, his superiors really gave him money this time, although it was only eight dollars.

You know, the last time he was given money was when he joined the army as resettlement allowance, and that time he was only given three dollars.

"Why are you panicking? You won't have an easy life here. Their patrol line is not that long!" This time the station chief led the team himself, and there were also several Military Control Commission personnel with him. When he heard someone muttering, he immediately scolded them.

Although the two sides were facing each other across the Nujiang River, it was not easy to cross the river. First of all, the water flow of the Nujiang River was very fast. Without a bridge to cross the river, they would only drown.

As for rowing? Forget it, a regular raft would simply be carried away by the current.

Unless it is a steamship that can avoid being washed away.

"Then how do we cross the river?" someone asked puzzledly.

"We'll know soon." The director of the shelter was also muttering. The telegram said that they were responsible for crossing the river and they didn't need to worry about anything else.

Not long after, two long lights and one short light appeared on the opposite side of the river. Seeing the agreed signal, the shelter station chief and several Military Control Commission personnel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Along with a series of sharp whistling sounds, several flying claws suddenly flew over from the opposite side, but the tails of these flying claws were tied with ropes.

When the flying claw landed on the ground, the shelter director and others immediately understood that it was for them to slide over along the rope.

This way of crossing the river is often used by hunters in some mountainous areas. He didn't expect that the other party would think of using this method.

"Great." After the director of the shelter figured it out, he couldn't help but praise.

"Is this rope strong?" The experienced veteran figured it out instantly and couldn't help muttering.

"It should be strong." The shelter director was unsure.

At this time, more than a dozen flying claws flew over, and he immediately asked someone to tie a rope to the big tree.

Not long after, more than a dozen figures slowly climbed over, hanging upside down along the ropes. Everyone was frightened by the sight. It was too dangerous.

"Meng Fanle?" The director of the shelter looked at Meng Fanle and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are still alive?"

"Of course, I won't die even if you die!" Meng Fanle took a quick look and found that the director of the shelter seemed to be alive and well, so he said unhappily.

"So many people?" Meng Fanle muttered after reading it, then looked at Long Wenjian: "Are there any more flying claws?"

In order to carry out this river crossing operation, Lin Hao specially built a batch of special equipment, especially the flying claws. The ropes used are all top-grade nylon ropes, which can withstand hundreds of kilograms of weight at a time without breaking.

"Yes, fortunately we brought a lot, otherwise it would cause delays." Long Wenjian also felt that there were too many people, so he immediately sent a signal to the people left behind on the other side.

Soon, another dozen flying claws flew over again.

Looking at the thirty flying claws, the shelter director couldn't help but exclaimed: "So many?"

"Are you selling it?" When several people from the Military Control Commission saw this thing, their eyes lit up and they asked hurriedly.

"No, I'll need it next time I pick someone up!" Meng Fanle said calmly, "Let's trade, how many people?"

"We need to take a look at the goods first." The leading Military Control Commission officer stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Meng Fan took a look and found that the other party was from the Military Control Commission. He snorted coldly, but didn't say anything and gave Long Wenjian a look.

Without saying a word, Long Wenjian clapped his hands, and several members of the old A team behind him put down the backpacks behind them.

"They are all inside." Long Wenjian said.

Several Military Control Commission personnel looked at each other, and one man stepped forward, took the backpack, opened the lid, and took out a box of penicillin. After careful inspection, he found that there was no difference between it and those sold on the market.

"It's absolutely true. This is not a one-time deal." Meng Fanle said unhappily when he saw the other party's expression.

"How many people?" he asked the director of the shelter.

"Four hundred veterans, seven hundred new recruits, and the remaining fifty or so are all officers and soldiers of the navy and air force!" The stationmaster hurriedly said:

"According to what we agreed upon before, each of them will receive two boxes of penicillin, and the navy and air force will be counted separately. Can you provide so much?" The director of the shelter was still a little worried. After all, this was almost a thousand boxes of penicillin, so he was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, we can eat as much as possible." Long Wenjian sneered and clapped his hands. The thirty or so team members behind him put down their backpacks one after another.

"There are about 1,200 boxes here, but there are more on the other side!"

This time they used large packages, one box can hold thirty sticks, and this thing is light, so it is no problem for one person to carry hundreds of them.

"Hiss!" The director of the shelter and several people from the Military Control Commission gasped. Thousands of boxes and two thousand small yellow croakers. If the business was handled well, it would be a business worth tens of thousands of small yellow croakers. This was a huge fortune.

Meng Fanle ignored their shocked expressions and stopped the military commander who wanted to take the penicillin and asked:

"Where are the officers and soldiers of the navy and air force?" Meng asked with a frown. They were not short of infantrymen. At most, those who had been to school would pay more attention.

But Lin Hao personally ordered the sailors and pilots to be brought in. The planes in the hangar and the gunboats in the port are waiting for people to operate them. "Over there, there are 48 sailors, one of whom was a second mate, and the remaining five are pilots." The station chief pointed quickly at a group of people not far away.

"Ok!"

"Five of them are pilots, and one of them is even an instructor!"

When they heard the word "coach", Meng Fanle and Long Wenjian's eyes lit up. This is definitely a treasure. Not everyone can be a coach these days.

"This coach is worth at least twenty boxes of penicillin." The director of the shelter said immediately after seeing the other party's expression.

Hearing this, Meng Fan's expression turned cold. This guy was really too greedy. However, before leaving, Lin Hao gave him the authority to make all the decisions without having to report.

Lin Hao didn't even think highly of this little bit of penicillin.

"It's too expensive." Meng Fanle decided to cut down the price in the spirit of saving as much as possible.

"No, it's not worth the price." The director of the shelter insisted that one more box meant two small yellow croakers.

"Okay, at the price you said."

The next step was the transaction. There were a total of 1,230 boxes of penicillin. After Meng Fanle confirmed that everything was correct, he signaled Long Wenjian to send someone to deliver another 100 boxes of penicillin.

"One thousand and one hundred boxes, please count them." Meng Fanle said this and signaled those people to prepare to cross the river.

Unlike when they came, the rope was tied high when crossing the river, so with professional river crossing equipment, these people quickly crossed the river.

"The next transaction will be in half a month!" After saying this, Meng Fanle led his men across the river. He had more important things to do, which was to rescue his father.

"No problem. The next transaction volume will be larger. I hope you can prepare more penicillin." The Military Control Commission man spoke at this time.

Now that it has been confirmed that there is no problem with penicillin, it means that a stable trading channel can be established in the future. Naturally, he will not give up this business easily.

"Don't worry, what we have in abundance is penicillin." Meng Fanle said calmly.

After crossing the river, Long Wenjian looked at the silent flight instructor and couldn't help asking.

"Brother, where are you from?"

"I'm from Guangxi. What about you?"

"Me too, fellow countryman. What's your name?" When Long Wenjian heard that the other party was also from Guangxi, his eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

"Zhang Yang, deputy commander of the 4th Flying Squadron." Zhang Yang was also a little excited to meet his fellow villager here.

"Dead, dead, now is not the time to reminisce about the past." Meng Fanle reminded.

Upon hearing this, Long Wenjian rolled his eyes and said:
"I know. My people have already infiltrated Heshun Town and found your father. He is doing well. There is only a small living team there. Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Hearing this, Meng Fanle breathed a sigh of relief and ignored his idle chatter.

A day later, a small town vaguely appeared in front of everyone.

As for Zhang Yang and others, since they were very valuable, they were escorted back by Yao Ma and a battalion led by him long ago.

Meng Fanle and others continued to head towards Heshun Town.

At this moment, they were approaching the jungle cautiously, and not far away was a not very wide dirt road.

"Fanle, there's something wrong with you!" Long Wenjian glanced at the absent-minded Meng Fanle and said with concern.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle came back to his senses and glanced at Long Wenjian: "It's okay, let's think about it."

"What's there to think about? They are your parents, how can they not acknowledge you?" Long Wenjian said unhappily.

"No, I'm mainly thinking about how my parents have been living these years." Meng Fanle was not in a very good mood and said with a sigh.

"How are they doing? I know my father's stubborn temper~!"

Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering. Long Wenjian didn't know what to say. He just sighed and patted his shoulder gently.

At this time, in the distance, an old man wearing a straw hat was carrying a hoe and a backpack, walking on the dirt road with a nervous expression.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw Long Wenjian and the others.

Long Wenjian immediately raised his finger and placed it to his lips, signaling him to be quiet, and asked someone to pull the old man over with his mouth covered.

This is enemy territory, they must be careful.

"Fellow countryman, is Heshun Town ahead?" Long Wenjian had traveled all over the country and knew a little bit of local dialects, so he immediately spoke with the accent of western Yunnan.

The old man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar accent, and nodded quickly, "Yes, Heshun Town is just ahead, where are you from?"

"Oh, we are from the Sichuan Army, and we have come here specifically to rescue you." Long Wenjian made up a reason.

Hearing this, the old man was extremely excited, just like seeing his relatives: "You are finally here. This little life has ruined Heshun Town."

"Well, don't worry. This time we are here to eliminate Xiao Rizi. You stay here and don't go anywhere. There will be a battle soon." Long Wenjian warned.

"Okay, I will cooperate, sir." The old man responded quickly.

Long Wenjian immediately gave a look to his subordinates, and upon receiving the signal, the subordinates hit the old man hard on the back, knocking him unconscious.

"Dead, dead, what are you doing?" Meng Fan was stunned and asked hurriedly.

"There's something wrong with this old man. Knock him out first and tie him up. We'll save your parents first." Long Wenjian shook his head and looked at the fallen old man.

"Tie him up, gag him, and don't let him make any sound."

"Yes, Captain."

Although Long Wenjian had been muddled for many years, he had a strong ability to read people's expressions due to his extensive travels. After a conversation, he discovered that there was something wrong with the old man.

Although I couldn't tell what was wrong, I decided to tie him up first out of caution. At worst I could apologize later.

"Hasn't the advance team responded yet?" Long Wenjian asked again.

"No, this place is close to the mountains and the signal is not very good." The subordinate replied immediately.

"Okay, I got it." Long Wenjian nodded, turned around and said to Meng Fanle.

"Go in quickly and find a chance to find out where your parents are."

Now that they have arrived in Heshun Town, Long Wenjian is no longer in a hurry. Besides, this is Xiao Rizi's territory, so he must be careful to avoid being discovered by Xiao Rizi.

As a result, as soon as they sneaked into Heshun Town, the advance team met up with Long Wenjian and his team.

"Found it?" Long Wenjian frowned slightly.

"Well, we found it. It's actually very easy to find. Just ask someone and you'll know. The head of Heshun Town is Mengfu!" explained a member of the advance team.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle's expression became very unnatural, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"It seems that the commander's guess is correct." Long Wenjian naturally knew that Lin Hao had said this before.

Now that it has been confirmed, Meng Fanle's heart finally broke.

"Don't worry about it for now, go find your parents."

"Hmm!" Meng became even more silent due to being annoyed.

When he arrived at Meng's father's house and looked at the large yard and the attic on the second floor, Long Wenjian was amazed.

The yard is filled with flowers and plants, with a sour atmosphere unique to literati.

"Your parents are indeed living a good life." Long Wenjian said with a sarcasm.

However, Meng Fanle did not have time to argue with him. He came to the lobby and saw Meng's father and mother in the lobby, but Meng Fanle stayed where he was.

When Meng's mother saw that Meng was annoyed, she covered her mouth with her hands. She was extremely excited and unable to speak, but tears were already in her eyes.

"Liao'er, why don't you greet me?" Father Meng's voice rang out.

For a moment, Meng was so annoyed that he wanted to turn around and run away. This old scholarly father was still putting on the airs of a scholar, but for some reason, Meng's eyes turned red.
