In the second half of the night, it was windy and rainy.
It seems to be particularly rainy in Hangzhou.
The misty rain in the West Lake in later generations refers to the three months of spring.
Very beautiful...
Poetic and picturesque...
However, for Zhang Yong, his memories are only of the cold wind and rain and the irritating mud.
There is muddy water or mud everywhere. Some are deep and some are shallow.
Driving is impossible in many places.
If the wheels get stuck, no one can push them out.
As a result, some straw or stones must always be prepared in the car in case the car is trapped.
"Team leader, right in front."
"good."
Zhang Yong raised his telescope and observed silently in the dark night.
He was woken up from his bed. Braving the cold wind and drizzle, he rushed to the outskirts. He said that he had found traces of Sun Dingyuan here.
It is said that some people also saw a few foreigners. Maybe they were the five British people.
It’s unclear who discovered it. Anyway, the information was transferred to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong came over overnight.
Squatting in the cold wind and rain.
The map showed that 300 meters away, in a high-walled compound, there were many white dots with weapons marks and gold marks.
But there are no red dots, which means there are no Japanese invaders here.
It may indeed be Sun Dingyuan and his group.
It is possible that Sun Dingyuan is here. But it is also possible that he is a substitute.
Zhang Yong finally believed Qu Tie's words.
It's really not surprising that Sun Dingyuan has seven or eight substitutes in "The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit".
Theoretically, Sun Dingyuan should be able to control the five British people. After all, these are the best hostages.
Those British people are probably not very economical either. Could those from MI7 be a good source of trouble?
It would be best if they had internal strife.
The committee members were worried that the foreigner would die and would be protested by the foreign minister. Zhang Yong did not care.
If you die, you die. You go to China and engage in some illegal activities. If you lose your life, we should be responsible. How can there be such a reason?
Previously, Qu Tie pretended to be a real person and killed Takeshita Takashi. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.
For the British, the best thing is to let the Chinese hold back the Japanese so that the Japanese have no time to infringe on the interests of the British.
If Takeshita Takashi is really killed, conflicts between China and Japan intensify, and the Japanese invade China with all their strength, they will definitely not be able to interfere with Britain.
The British policy of appeasement has always been this way.
They all sacrifice others to preserve their own interests.
Therefore, how is it possible for Chiang Kai-shek to expect Britain and the United States to mediate? Others would like you to fight to the death with the Japanese.
...to go too far.
The international situation has nothing to do with him.
Now he just wants to catch Sun Dingyuan and squeeze out the oil.
Each stand-in costs three thousand dollars. What about the real person? It should be at least thirty thousand dollars. Full of yearning...
However, the map shows that those white dots are all crowded together.
Someone is keeping watch.
Very vigilant.
It's quiet all around. The terrain nearby is open. Others can't approach concealedly.
This is a suburb again. The sky is huge. You can retreat at any time. Then you will disperse into the surrounding fields and then disappear without a trace.
The reason why Sun Dingyuan did not escape immediately was because he had not given up on his goal.
He is going to the United States. His goal is the United States.
He would not hide in the countryside unless he had to.
So miserable...
Others may be warm inside the house, while they are outside in the wind and rain.
Fortunately, there were many empty houses nearby. Zhang Yong picked a few and took people to live in them. Only then did he feel better.
I accidentally discovered that one of the houses was actually equipped with a telephone. I picked up the phone and found that the phone line actually worked.
What an unexpected surprise.
Immediately call the number provided by Qu Tie.
Can get through.
But no one picked up.
Look at the time, it's about three o'clock in the morning.
hey-hey.
It’s about three o’clock in the morning…
Get up and say hello!
I, Zhang Yong, am busy outside, so none of you can even think of sleeping!
"Dudu..."
"Dudu..."
Keep the phone ringing.
If it hangs up automatically, the call will continue.
Keep fighting...
three times……
Four times…
Zhang Yong was not in a hurry and just used it as a harassing call.
It's a British person on the other end of the phone. Haha. Get up.
finally……
"Who?"
Someone answered the phone.
I can speak Chinese quite well, but I feel seriously irritable.
It’s understandable. When the phone rings at around three o’clock in the morning, anyone would be furious. What’s more, it’s a harassing call? But this is what Zhang Yong wants!
"It's me." Zhang Yong said loudly.
"Who are you?" The other party was impatient.
"We have had transactions." Zhang Yong responded coldly.
"What deal?" The other party's tone gradually began to slow down.
Zhang Yong was silent.
What deal?
Oops……
I hadn't thought about it before.
However, he soon had content.
"Project Zeus, do you want to know?" Zhang Yong said slowly.
"What's the plan?" The other party was confused.
"The Japanese want to build the world's largest battleship, did you know?"
"who are you?"
"crow."
Zhang Yong temporarily found a code name for himself.
As soon as I said the words, I immediately regretted it. What a crow. Unlucky. Why did you come up with such a tasteless nickname?
Alas, being uneducated is really terrible...
"I do not know who you are."
"But I know who you are. Go tell the people in MI7 that I have a very important piece of information that your Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Churchill, needs very much. If you miss it, Mr. Churchill will kick your ass."
"who are you?"
The other party was a little annoyed and a little confused.
I originally thought it was a prank. However, the other party mentioned Churchill's name again.
Churchill is currently the Lord of the Admiralty and is in charge of the Royal Navy. The Japanese want to build the world's largest battleship? Who said that?
Oh, Project Zeus…
It turned out that the other party was selling information.
"Displacement."
"Much larger than your King George V-class battleships."
"Main gun caliber?"
"Also much larger than your King George V-class battleships."
"Speed?"
"More than thirty knots."
"You are talking nonsense."
"you do not believe?"
"No one's battleships are better than those of our Royal Navy!"
"but……"
"Snapped!"
The other party hung up the phone.
Zhang Yong was not angry either. He held the microphone and sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth.
What a loud tone.
The sun never sets on the empire.
I thought I was number one in the world!
No one's battleships can be better than those of the Royal Navy. Haha.
What is the displacement of your Prince of Wales? 40,000 tons. What is the displacement of Yamato? 70,000 tons. It is almost twice as much as yours.
Yamato's main gun caliber is 460 mm. Your Prince of Wales's only has 356 mm.
It’s a full 100mm smaller than others!
There is also a difference in sailing speed.
But Zhang Yong completely understood the British pride.
After all, the British can only see some of their past glory on the ocean.
Battleships are the lifeblood of the British.
Even if you are trying to sell iron, you must continue to build to ensure the advantage on the sea.
Especially after the German Navy's shipbuilding plan came out, Churchill did not dare to underestimate it. His basic principle was three against one. Three against one.
The Germans built one battleship, and the British built three to match the standard.
However, Churchill's eyes always ignored the East and the Japanese. He did not expect that the Japanese would be so crazy.
In terms of pure technology, the Yamato's various data can instantly defeat the British and American battleships.
Objectively speaking, the Japanese invaders were indeed quite capable.
Silently put down the phone. Wait for ten seconds. Then pick it up and continue dialing the phone number just now.
No one listens?
Don't want to hear it?
It doesn’t matter. The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping...
result……
Found only busy tone.
Good guy, it turns out that the other party has picked up the phone and can't call in.
Mader and Zhang Yong cursed secretly.
When you catch this damn foreigner, smash his hand first...
You don’t believe what I said!
Suddenly, there was movement in the courtyard.
A man came out of the compound, alone, with a weapon mark, but no gold mark.
sneaking.
Flash shrink.
Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed. What does this guy want to do? Want to escape alone?
If a person runs out quietly, it must be up to no good!
Most likely he wanted to run away alone.
OK, deliver it to your door.
Monitor the movement closely.
Gradually, the telescope could finally see a little bit. It was a man with long hair. I judged that he was a man. The kind of art master of later generations. Unkempt, with a beard, full of beards. To put it mildly, he was rough.
To put it bluntly, it's sloppy.
Instead of heading out into the fields, he tried to return to the city.
This is interesting. Just in time to catch him.
Arrange immediately.
The target groped forward cautiously. In the darkness, he walked very slowly.
On the contrary, with the help of the map, Zhang Yong was able to avoid all dangers and walk quickly. He didn't feel so cold anymore and successfully circled in front of the target.
However, since the surrounding terrain is relatively open, it is impossible to plot or kill someone behind the scenes.
The only way is to block the opponent first.
What if the target fires? There is nothing you can do. You can only fire back and kill him.
Will the gunfire alert other gangsters in the compound?
I couldn't care less. I was shocked.
Let’s deal with the guy in front of us first. Maybe we don’t need to use a gun?
When the target entered an open space, Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Immediately, someone appeared from behind or from the side.
The bearded man heard the footsteps and turned around quickly. Then he found that he was surrounded.
In the faint light, I could see the black muzzle of the gun.
"Friend, don't move." Zhang Yong popped out half of his head from behind the broken wall and said loudly, "We only want money, not lives."
"Which path are you friends on?" The bearded man was silent for a moment and slowly opened his hand.
This action means that he has no intention of drawing a gun. Don't get me wrong.
Obviously, he understands the rules of the world. If he takes the risk of drawing a gun, he will end up becoming a hornet's nest.
A random shot from the other side can leave him riddled with holes.
"The Crocodile Gang." Zhang Yong said boldly.
"You guys?" The bearded man looked very strange, confused, unbelievable and ridiculous.
"Yes. We are from the Crocodile Gang."
"Me too."
"That's nonsense. How dare you pretend?"
"I am the leader of the Crocodile Gang. My name is Wu Baishun."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong:……
The other party is actually the leader of the Crocodile Gang?
Marder actually pretended to be the real owner? This world is really small!
but……
It doesn't matter. It's all small things.
Zhang Yong said coldly: "Since you are the leader of the Crocodile Gang, what are you doing hanging out with Sun Dingyuan?"
"What Sun Dingyuan?" Wu Baishun shook his head, "You may have misunderstood."
"I didn't misunderstand. You must be in cahoots with Sun Dingyuan. There were people from Sun Dingyuan in the compound you just left."
"No. They are Chu Jingliang's men."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong felt something was wrong.
Is it really a mistake? We wanted to arrest Sun Dingyuan, but ended up arresting Chu Jingliang?
Faint!
Who gave the information?
Could it be that someone took the opportunity to attack in the east and attack in the west, trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Perhaps, it was Sun Dingyuan who was behind this?
Sun Dingyuan lured him to the suburbs and then escaped from his shell?
Grass!
be cheated!
These old guys are really cunning!
I wasted several hours in the suburbs in vain. Perhaps Sun Dingyuan has escaped from Hangzhou now.
well……
I really can’t beat these veterans!
It may be too late to go back now.
never mind……
Next time.
If you really can't catch it, forget it. Don't force yourself. After all, your abilities are limited. It's impossible to do everything perfectly.
As much as you can do.
How much can you catch?
Take things as they come.
Be content and happy.
"What are Chu Jingliang's people doing inside?"
"Discuss about transporting food."
"What transports food?"
"They are preparing to transport 100,000 tons of grain to Tianjin Wei."
"Then what are you looking for?"
"Help escort the boat."
“Water transportation or sea transportation?”
"Sea transport."
"He has so many ships?"
"It's shipped by Haichang Shipping."
"Wen Zhenping?"
"right."
"I see."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Sure enough, a closed loop has been formed within the spy.
If you need food, go to Chu Jingliang.
If you need shipping, please contact Wen Zhenping.
Food can be safely and smoothly transported to Tianjin Wei without going through other people's hands.
In fact, daring to travel by sea has fully demonstrated that Wen Zhenping is not simple.
There are Japanese warships in the sea outside. They will intercept and inspect them at any time. If they don't cooperate, they will be sunk.
The Japanese invaders had many destroyers patrolling the coast of China, specifically blocking the coastline. Unless they were foreign ships or ships chartered by the Japanese, they would not be able to pass.
Although those destroyers are all antiques with a displacement of about 1,000 tons. However, when facing civilian ships, they are still like Zentraedi stars. They do not use 127mm main guns and directly use small-caliber machine guns to sink them. Therefore, no one
Take risks.
The Liao family's ships only dare to go along the coastline, from Hangzhou to Shanghai. Once they leave this route, they will be in danger.
Those merchant ships traveling from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, or to other places, must have more or less official backgrounds. Or they may have foreign backgrounds.
Alas, talking about it makes me cry. The weak national power is the result of being bullied by others.
Does Hangzhou have 100,000 tons of grain?
Of course there is.
Suzhou and Hangzhou have always been a land of plenty.
There has always been a saying that if Suhu is good enough, the world is good enough. Hangzhou is also one of them.
"Who else is inside?"
"I don't know many people."
"Then what are you doing running out here alone?"
"I……"
Wu Baishun was silent.
Obviously, this question is difficult to answer.
He didn't want to tell the truth. However, it was difficult to hide lies from Zhang Yong.
If you are caught lying, the situation will be very bad.
"I want to report..." Finally, Wu Baishun said slowly.
"Sue who?" Zhang Yong looked unmoved.
"I have no idea."
"You haven't thought about it?"
"yes."
"Why snitch?"
"I feel like there's something wrong with this Chu Jingliang..."
"what is the problem?"
"He may be a lackey of the Japanese."
"What do you think?"
"One hundred thousand tons of grain transported from Hangzhou to Tianjin must be sold to the Japanese!"
"uncertain."
Zhang Yong said slowly.
Zhang Yong felt the same way before.
The Japanese were short of food and had to plunder from China.
However, the grain production in northern China was insufficient. There was no excess grain to sell to the Japanese.
Food must be transported from the south.
"By the way, there is a person who came from the three eastern provinces. I suspect that he was sent by the puppet Manchukuo."
"What is your name?"
"He introduced himself as Wang Shen."
"Wang Shen."
Zhang Yong remembers this name.
The puppet Manchukuo is so rich! He likes it.
When I caught Yoshiko Kawashima last time, I originally wanted to blackmail her a lot, but unexpectedly, someone above me released her.
Pity……
Now that someone else has delivered it to your door, I'll take it all as ordered.
This group of Japanese spies, including Chu Jingliang and Wang Jichang, are all big fish. If you do anything, you can get rich income.
"The recipient of the grain is Wang Shen."
"go on."
"He offered a pretty high price."
"How high?"
"Eighteen oceans per stone. Tianjin Wei Port settlement."
"Is it very high?"
"In Hangzhou, one stone of good rice only costs nine oceans. This is double the price!"
"Are you ready?"
"certainly."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong always felt something was not right.
Coming from a later generation, he was very sensitive to scams. He immediately thought of all kinds of scams.
The price of transporting grain from Hangzhou to the north has doubled. It sounds like it is indeed very beautiful. There is also a fresh ocean. I guess all the merchants are willing.
Including Liao Panxi, she is also a businessman. Businessmen also pursue profits.
However, if the grain is transported to Tianjin Wei, but the other party doesn’t want it anymore and then withholds it, what should we do?
Then it's off the street. It's like throwing away a lot of goods in vain.
One hundred thousand tons of grain, when it gets there, is 3.6 million oceans! Does Wang Shen have that many oceans?
However, Zhang Yong had little research on economics and could not clarify the cost-profit relationship in a short period of time.
It doesn't matter if it's a scam or anything, let's catch Wang Shen first.
"Let's go!"
"Thanks."
Wu Baishun turned and left.
Zhang Yong led the people to the courtyard.
Since he is not Sun Dingyuan's subordinate, he is not polite.
Chu Jingliang......
It's you I'm looking for.
He walked over with his team in a mighty manner.
The person on guard outside the door noticed immediately. "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
"I'm from the Fuxing Society's Secret Service. My name is Zhang Yong. Call Wang Shen to come out." Zhang Yong named him. What he was looking for were people from the puppet Manchukuo.
Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared. His appearance was ordinary.
When he saw Zhang Yong, he was calm. Apparently he didn't take it to heart.
"Boss Wang." Zhang Yong smiled softly.
"Team Leader Zhang, why are you here late at night?" Wang Shen asked slowly.
"I have something to see Boss Wang. Please come with me."
"What's the matter with you? Tell me here."
"Let's find another place to talk. It's not convenient to talk here."
"You say it right here."
"Wang Shen, don't toast me and you will be punished by drinking wine."
"Team Leader Zhang, I've also heard of your name. But I'm not afraid."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong sneered.
Suddenly something doesn't feel right.
A red dot appears on the edge of the map and flashes.
In an instant, Zhang Yong's whole body was filled with excitement.
dangerous.
Sniper!
Without thinking, Zhang Yong immediately got down.
The action is extremely fast.
His consciousness told him very clearly that he was ambushed. It was a Japanese sniper!
This is a trap.
He was fooled again.
The so-called intelligence was definitely arranged by the Japanese invaders. The purpose was to attract him here.
The terrain here is open and very suitable for sniping.
Then……
It felt like something was passing by.
It seemed like something had rubbed the back of his left shoulder.
I feel nothing.
Just once.
Maybe the bullet was flying too fast, and his body and brain hadn't had time to judge the severity of the wound.
Mud...
Got sniped...
The second time...
Grass……
I didn't catch the opponent last time and let him run away, but he did it again the second time.
But he was so eager to capture Sun Dingyuan that he fell into a trap set by the Japanese invaders.
Mud...
Almost died.
But it didn't hang up.
still have a chance.
Grit your teeth and swear that you must kill this Japanese sniper today.
