Chapter 194 The Man in Black Robe
After three rounds of drinking...
The butcher's face was already flushed, and his big red nose opened and closed. He put a piece of Russian frozen meat on the tip of his nose and sniffed it wildly, then put it into his mouth, puffing hot steam.
Zhang Hao and the butcher drank one cup after another, but they were still energetic and did not look drunk at all.
He glanced at Kenichi, who was drinking, and the other party understood.
Kenichi raised his glass again, clinked it with the butcher, took a sip and put it down, saying, "Brother Butcher, there is something I want to ask you."
The butcher raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, smacking his lips in satisfaction, "Kenichi-kun, just say whatever you want to say, brother, I will tell you everything I know!"
Kenichi stopped being polite and asked, "Then I'll be frank. Last time, President Takiya and I came to get the goods, we got it done on the same day. Why did Brother Butcher ask us to wait for a few days this time?"
Zhang Hao said at the right moment, "Is it because I just took over as the new president of the Murakami Association that Boss Andre is still not confident enough?"
The butcher quickly waved his hands and said, "President Zhang, you are too polite! We have a life-long friendship with Boss Takiya. Since President Zhang is appointed by Boss Takiya himself, how can we not trust him?"
Zhang Hao said, "Brother, do you have any unspeakable secrets? The goods we ordered are just a few weapons and ammunition. For Boss Andre, isn't that a drop in the bucket?"
The butcher took a sip of vodka and seemed a little hesitant.
Kenichi made an accurate assist.
"Brother Butcher, if our gang wasn't in urgent need of these weapons, I wouldn't have asked about this..."
The butcher sighed, "Well, well, it's not a secret. Brother Jianyi and President Zhang are not outsiders, so I'll tell you!"
Zhang Hao smiled without saying anything, waiting for the other party to explain the reason.
"We've been in trouble lately!"
Kenichi was surprised and said, "In Moscow, there are actually people who dare to take advantage of Boss Andrei?"
You have to know that Andre has the military behind him. He has been helping the military resell weapons for many years. No one dares to mess with him over the years!
Zhang Hao understood what the butcher meant and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with the arms trade?"
The butcher nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest, we have already prepared the weapons you ordered and are waiting to deliver them today."
"What is that?"
"I was robbed!"
Zhang Hao frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple.
The weapons they ordered were a batch of pure Russian equipment, including 1,000 new AK12 assault rifles with bullets , and 2,000 various smoke bombs, grenades and other throwing weapons.
For Andrei, Moscow's largest arms supplier, few customers would order such a combination of light weapons.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao had a guess.
"Are the people who hijacked this batch of equipment from the island country?" Zhang Hao asked.
The butcher showed a surprised expression and asked, "President Zhang, how did you know?"
Kenichi next to him was also confused. He didn't understand why Zhang Hao had a clue just after the other party asked the question.
Zhang Hao asked: "What's the situation now?"
Seeing that Zhang Hao seemed to understand something, the butcher started talking.
"Just the day before yesterday, someone from the island nation contacted us and said they needed to order a batch of weapons and equipment. After they presented their demand list, I saw that it was very similar to what you ordered."
Kenichi asked, "And then?"
The butcher said, "You know, Boss Andre rarely does business with strangers, so he rejected it on the spot. They then offered a very high price, which was probably several times the price you ordered, but the boss still refused. He said that had the equipment, but he already had a buyer. However, because the price they offered was very attractive, Boss Andre promised to give them the weapons and equipment they needed within ten days."
Zhang Hao said: "If I'm not mistaken, the other party took action after hearing that you now have such a batch of equipment, right?"
The butcher said, "Well, after Boss Andre refused, that group of people used some unknown means to get the location of the warehouse where the equipment was located. That night, they robbed all the equipment and killed several of our brothers."
Zhang Hao looked at Jianyi and said what he was thinking, "If I'm not mistaken, these people may have been sent by the Tanaka Group. They also have this need."
In the current situation in Shinjuku District, the Tanaka Group has built the Tanaka Building into an impregnable fortress. Although the island nation's military has not achieved its goal of using missiles to destroy the Tanaka Group in one fell swoop, if Tanaka Kame wants to fight against the subsequent guard team and defend the Tanaka Building, defense alone is not enough and weapons and equipment are also needed.
After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Jianyi's thoughts gradually became clearer.
He asked, "Brother Butcher, have you figured out where the other party came from?"
The butcher recalled: "They didn't reveal their identities. I just remember that they came in a group of people wearing black robes."
There was horror in Kenichi's eyes. He didn't expect that it was just as Zhang Hao expected, it was another black-robed man from Tanaka Group!
What a narrow road the enemies meet!
In this case, this batch of equipment must be obtained!
Kenichi asked, "What about the follow-up?"
The butcher took a sip of vodka and said slowly, "You took advantage of our unpreparedness to rob weapons and equipment in Moscow, and you still want to retreat after your success?
After searching the entire city, we have found their base. Before I came, Boss Andre had already sent people over to wipe them out!"
When Zhang Hao saw that the other party didn't seem to care, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Moreover, the butcher, who is Andre's right-hand man, did not go there and came here to drink. This is enough to prove that they did not take the people of the Tanaka Group seriously.
He quickly asked: "How many people did you send out?"
The butcher said nonchalantly, "Only five people came that day. We sent ten people, which is more than enough."
After that, he looked at his watch and said, "Look at the time. Our people should be here too. Good news should come soon. I originally told you to wait a few more days, but it seems that's not necessary."
Zhang Hao tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Brother Butcher, you'd better call your men now and ask them to retreat quickly."
The butcher looked unhappy, feeling that Zhang Hao had interfered with their decision-making, but since he was willing to come and drink today, he still agreed with Zhang Hao in his heart, so he patiently said, "President Zhang, although we are not a local gang, we still have some means."
What he meant was, even though we are in the arms business, we do have some hidden cards in our hands, otherwise we wouldn't have found the location of the Tanaka Group so quickly.
After hearing the butcher's words, Zhang Hao stopped tapping the table. Since the other party said so, he didn't want to say anything more.
However, Kenichi and the butcher obviously have a deep friendship, and he is also well aware of how powerful the man in black is. He must persuade the other party, as he does not want Boss Andre's men to lose their lives in vain.
He said, "Brother Butcher, there's no time to explain! Call now!"
