"Brother Chen, the food is ready. Do you want to eat outside or in the room?"
While Cheng Hao was thinking about his next plan, the four-eyed man with a flattering smile knocked on the door and walked in. He bowed slightly and waited for Cheng Hao's instructions.
"Eat in the room. You stay and drink with me. Let's have a good talk about the next action!"
Cheng Hao smiled and motioned for the four-eyed man to sit down. Although this guy looked a bit wretched, he was actually a very capable person. At this stage, Cheng Hao still needed to rely on him to complete many things. Some actions to buy people's hearts still needed to be done.
"Okay … Okay, Brother Chen, you sit down first!"
Hearing that Brother Chen, who had always been expressionless and even somewhat neurotic, asked him to stay for dinner, the four-eyed man was suddenly flattered. He had always been eloquent, but he was so excited that he stuttered a little.
To be able to let the boss stay for a home-cooked meal, it was definitely a treatment that only confidants could have. Especially for a ruthless character like Brother Chen who had never eaten alone with others. This was the first time that he invited someone to dinner!
He happily ran in front of Cheng Hao and pulled out the chair for him. After seeing Cheng Hao sit down, the four-eyed man walked to the door and somewhat proudly ordered outside.
"Ahu, serve the dishes. By the way, bring an extra set of chopsticks. Brother Chen asked me to stay for dinner!"
Outside the door, a muscular man with a fierce face and a black suit half exposed his chest looked at the four-eyed man with some surprise, then turned around and waved his hand. Suddenly, several men in black suits carefully walked into Cheng Hao's room with food and wine.
"Brother Chen, the food is a little rushed. There are only four dishes and one soup. If you think it's not enough, I'll ask the chef to make more for you?" Seeing the food and wine on the table, and after the wine glasses and chopsticks were placed, the four-eyed man carefully looked up at Cheng Hao.
"No need, this is enough!" After casually glancing at the food on the table, Cheng Hao waved his hand and motioned the four-eyed man to sit down. Then he looked up at the muscular man outside the door.
"Ahu, close the door. Today I'm discussing something important with Military Counselor. No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
"Yes, Brother Chen!"
The brawny man named Tiger glanced at the four of them with a serious expression. Then, he walked out of the door and closed it tightly.
"Four-Eyed, how long have you been following me?"
After Ah Hu left, Cheng Hao didn't stand on ceremony and casually asked while eating.
"Brother Chen, since you founded the Axe Gang two years ago, I, Four Eyes, have been following you. Brother Chen, you must be clear about my loyalty. If you have something to say, just say it."
Four Eyes carefully poured wine into Cheng Hao's cup as he observed Cheng Hao's expression. It could be seen that he was still very nervous about eating alone with his boss for the first time.
"Then I won't keep you guessing. What do you think the Axe Gang should do if we want to monopolize the Shanghai Beach and become the order maker of the underground world?"
Cheng Hao was really a little hungry. He gobbled up the food and didn't even have time to raise his head when talking. This made the four-eyed man relax a little.
"Brother Chen, in fact, the situation is very obvious. The only thing that hinders the Axe Gang from unifying the Shanghai Beach is the Crocodile Gang. As long as we get rid of them, the rest of the small fish are not worth mentioning at all!"
"Of course I know this. Go on, how can we get rid of the Crocodile Gang?"
"Well … Brother Chen, I'll tell you the truth. Don't be angry. It's really difficult."
"You're a military counselor. Of course, you have to tell the truth. Just say what you think!" Cheng Hao put down his chopsticks and looked at the four-eyed man with deep eyes. This four-eyed military counselor was a bit funny in the movie, but in this real world, he seemed to be a lot more restrained and not funny at all.
The four-eyed man swallowed his saliva and chose his words carefully. "Brother Chen, in terms of territory and manpower, the Crocodile Gang is not under us. Moreover, they recently bought a batch of new firearms. If we really fight, we won't have the advantage!"
"And … This Shanghai is now a Japanese colony. Although it is nominally managed by Wang Jingwei's national government, everyone knows who the real owner here is. We had small fights before, and the Japanese military commander may be too lazy to care about it. But if two large gangs fight in the street, it will make too much noise and attract the attention of the Japanese. Then we will be in big trouble! "
"Well … the Japanese are indeed a problem!"
Cheng Hao drank the wine in the glass and couldn't help rubbing his forehead. This was the Shanghai Beach in the 1940s. Although there were no Japanese people in the movie, anyone who was familiar with this history knew that the Shanghai Beach at this time had been occupied by the Japanese army and was governed by the pseudo-national government established by Wang Jingwei.
In today's Shanghai, the once insufferably arrogant Qing Gang and Hong Gang had already fallen apart. Some people didn't want to be traitors and left Shanghai, while others stayed and joined the Wang puppet government, becoming traitors.
It was precisely because of the lack of the two major gangs, the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang, that small gangs like the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang were able to rise.
Underground forces exist in every country. The Japanese are not surprised by this. As long as the movement is not too big, they are generally too lazy to take care of it. But as the four-eyed man said, if the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang fight in the street, it is estimated that the Japanese military will intervene.
"It seems that I have to follow the method in the movie and directly kill the boss of the Crocodile Gang. Otherwise, a large-scale fight will attract the attention of the Japanese military. That will be a big trouble!"
Cheng Hao had some regrets. In fact, in his opinion, these gangsters are not good people. It would be better to kill them all. But after learning about the existence of the Japanese, he changed his mind. The Axe Gang that completely controls the underground forces of Shanghai Beach is more advantageous to him!
"Four-eyed, I remember that the boss of the Crocodile Gang recently found a mistress. She seems to be very beautiful, right?"
"Yes, Brother Chen, you want to …" Four-eyed showed an expression that all men understand, his face was lewd.
"I want to your sister!" Cheng Hao coldly snorted.
"Four-eyed, you go to the police station in the east of the city and ask them to find a reason to arrest the woman and put her in the police station for a day. With the virtue of the Crocodile Gang's boss, he will definitely go there personally. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand. Brother Chen, you want to capture the leader first. The Crocodile Gang's boss has always been holed up in his own territory. This time, as long as he is willing to go out, we will have a chance!"
Four-eyed is really smart. Cheng Hao nodded with satisfaction. "Don't be reluctant to spend money. As long as this matter is done, the entire Shanghai Beach will be ours!"
.....
After Four-eyed left in a good mood, Cheng Hao called Ahu in.
"Ahu, gather the brothers in the gang and wait for orders. Tonight, I will remove the Crocodile Gang!"
