Alas, I was a little too harsh in catching the spies, and now a bunch of new people have appeared. They have no luck whatsoever.
If you catch it back, you still have to take care of the food. Why not just do it...
"What are you looking at?" Catherine noticed immediately, "Spy?"
"Rookie. New guy." Zhang Yong said bluntly, "There's nothing interesting about him. Do you want to catch him? Or do you want to kill him directly?"
"Are you sure he's a spy?"
"Confident."
"Show it to me. I'll try it."
"good."
Zhang Yong then pointed out the spy.
Catherine took the telescope and observed carefully. She didn't see anything unusual.
It doesn't seem like he is a rookie. At least, there is no flaw in his appearance. He looks like a very ordinary Chinese citizen.
Suspicion.
Catherine turned to look at Zhang Yong.
She felt that her vision was still good. It was impossible that she didn't discover anything.
That spy, Zhang Yong said he was a spy, should be correct. However, he really looked exactly like the others. She, Catherine, didn't notice it at all.
This is Shanghai...
But what if it’s Singapore?
"You can smell the Japanese from this far away?"
"able."
"What is the principle?"
"metaphysics."
"What?"
"Have you ever heard of Guiguzi? I am of his lineage."
"Yeah?"
Catherine was dubious.
Then she made a bold request.
"Can I learn?"
"cannot."
"Why? Is it a male rather than a female?"
"no."
"What the hell is that?"
"You must have a very miserable fate in your previous life to learn it."
"How miserable?"
"Nine-nine-six, zero-seven, blessings, all of them are paid, which means they are not paid..."
"..."
Catherine was confused.
I couldn't understand it at all. I had to give up. I thought it was too mysterious.
There is no way to learn Eastern metaphysics.
If you want to identify Japanese spies, you can only invite Zhang Yong to take action in person.
Fortunately. This matter is quite easy to solve.
Just give me money.
If it's not enough, give more.
Theoretically, as long as the money is enough, Zhang Yong can defeat the emperor...
By the way, give it to a beautiful woman...
"I'll catch him." Catherine walked towards the spy.
The spy glanced at Catherine but didn't respond. He continued to walk forward on his own.
Catherine suddenly shouted in Japanese and rushed towards him.
She did it deliberately to gauge the other person's reaction.
As a result, the spy immediately turned around and ran away. Apparently he understood.
"real……"
"Spy..."
Catherine was completely convinced.
This Zhang Yong is really amazing. I don’t know how to describe it.
Being able to identify Japanese spies at a glance from such a distance was something she needed very much. She had to invite him to Singapore...
wrong.
Going to Singapore is just a step.
The most important thing is to make this guy work harder and catch more spies.
The more spies he catches here, it will also affect the spies in Singapore. There are not enough spies here, so they must be transferred from Singapore!
After thinking for a while, she turned around and came back.
Zhang Yong:???
No. Didn’t you say you were going to catch Japanese spies?
Why didn't he get caught and he came back again? Did he trick me on purpose? In the end, he let the spy go for nothing?
"I want to discuss something with you."
"explain."
Zhang Yong was not angry.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more scheming she is.
He has to be careful.
"In this case, I will give you a merit point."
"do what?"
"Every once in a while, tell me how many spies you have captured and which spies you have captured. Then, I will assess your meritorious service."
"What is the use?"
"The merit points can be exchanged for rewards..."
"GBP?"
"of course not."
"what is that?"
"For example, request our warships to escort you! Use our cargo ships! Or our visas. And so on."
"Are you an NPC?"
"What NPC?"
"never mind."
Zhang Yong shook his head.
Catherine is certainly not an NPC.
However, her suggestion did make him feel very novel.
In fact, this can be considered a win-win situation.
How should I put it? It is indeed difficult to pay directly. No one’s money comes from the strong wind.
However, besides money, there are many other ways of compensation.
For example, battleship escort is very important to China. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
For Catherine, it's a benefit at no cost. Anyway, the destroyer is patrolling the sea, so where does it go? The fees are fixed. There are no additional expenses.
Freighters, visas, etc. are all more convenient and cost-effective. The cost is very low.
What was sold was the prestige of the British Empire.
Japanese warships would definitely not dare to intercept a freighter flying the Union Jack flag easily.
And if you use a British Empire visa to enter the concession, you can also get effective protection. Even Ying Zuo Zhenzhao cannot arrest people casually.
Kill someone with a borrowed knife.
This is obvious. She doesn't hide it either.
She just hopes to use him, Zhang Yong, to catch Japanese spies and suppress Japanese invaders. This is in the interest of the British Empire.
"Then how many merits do I have now?"
"Let's count ten thousand."
"Then if I need a clipper ship to go to sea and fly your British Union Jack flag, how much merit will it take?"
"What are you going to do at sea?"
"A Japanese ship sank. There was a lot of French currency on it. I want to salvage it."
Zhang Yong told the truth.
There is no need to lie to Catherine because she will not steal money.
She is a rich woman herself. She doesn't like legal tender at all. In fact, the British don't accept legal tender at all.
The birth process of legal currency itself was troubled. It was promoted by the Americans. Japan, Britain, and France did not recognize it. The Germans abstained. The polar bears did not take a position.
Therefore, the current situation is a bit strange. All foreign banks do not accept legal tender, including Citibank.
"Approximately how far is it?"
"It won't be very far."
Zhang Yong estimated that it was at most twenty or thirty nautical miles.
If it were further away, the "Edogawa Kohoku" would have been drowned long ago. It would be impossible to swim ashore.
"Then I'll arrange a gunboat."
"gunboat?"
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
The British are in Shanghai and have gunboats?
I don’t think I’ve heard of it…
"Gunboat. Fast. Offshore activities. Safe."
"good."
Zhang Yong has no objection.
Naturally it would be best to have a British gunboat.
If you encounter a Japanese destroyer, you can also intimidate it so that the other party does not dare to mess around.
"Wait a moment."
Catherine immediately called and arranged.
A few minutes later, she came back and took Zhang Yong to the concession pier to wait.
A few minutes later, a gunboat appeared.
It's not the same as the gunboats of later generations.
A bit shabby. And a bit rusty.
It has a displacement of less than 100 tons and is small in size. It is equipped with two 20mm machine guns.
Well, it is an old empire after all. If you build a gunboat, it will look decent. At least it has a cannon. Although it is a small 20mm water pipe. The Japanese gunboat only has a 7mm heavy machine gun...
Get on board.
Set off.
Catherine also joined in the fun.
Since it is a British Empire gunboat, safety should be no problem. Zhang Yong was relieved.
I feel that my previous idea was a bit hasty. I actually built a yacht and wanted to go to sea. If I were caught by a Japanese destroyer, I would be bombarded to pieces!
Zhang Yong was unable to determine the location of the sunken ship.
It is judged that it is in the east. Prepare to go east first, then north, and make a circle.
If not found, go further south...
"good."
Catherine then issued an order.
The gunboat then quickly headed east. The speed gradually increased.
Zhang Yong looked at the speedometer quietly.
10 knots, 15 knots, 20 knots...
The speed gradually slows down.
A gunboat is a gunboat after all. It has insufficient tonnage.
After the speed exceeds 20 knots, it becomes very bumpy and is often thrown up.
For sailors who live at sea all year round, this is of course no problem. However, for Zhang Yong and his men, it is all over.
They are all landlubbers! Many people have never seen the sea in their lives.
He soon became unsteady on his feet.
Then vomited.
It feels so uncomfortable that I must die. I have completely lost my ability to fight.
Pang De and Huang Zhong lay directly on the deck.
Couldn't stand up at all.
No matter how fierce they are on land, they turn into soft-footed shrimps at sea.
Catherine also began to have adverse reactions.
Zhang Yong also has some.
But, strangely enough, just a little bit.
I feel a little uncomfortable, but not too uncomfortable. I feel like vomiting, but not too much.
I suspect that the system is involved, but there is no evidence.
I hope the system will be more powerful...
[12 nautical miles beyond the coastline]
[World map mode starts]
Suddenly, system information flashed by. Then, the map switched.
Switch directly to the globe mode. Most of the area is dark. Only the Chinese side is bright.
Huh?
Is this the fog of war?
If you want to see a map of the world, you need to explore it yourself?
No way?
Don’t you want to run around the world by yourself?
Try zooming in on the map.
Keep zooming in...
Finally, the display range reached the coast of East Asia.
I wanted to find a scale to see how far the distance was. It turned out there wasn't one.
I don’t know the distance. I can only estimate it myself.
As the gunboat continued to head east, the fog continued to recede.
The area where the gunboat passed through turned into bright mode.
However, for such a large world map, such a small amount can be ignored.
Calculate it quietly. It seems that the distance to open the map is about 12 nautical miles. Even where Zhang Yong is, with a radius of 12 nautical miles, it will become brighter.
The fog of war will not reappear. Once expelled, the area will always remain lit.
However, Zhang Yong is still unclear about what effect and function the map will have after it is lit up. The system has not explained it either.
Okay, let's explore slowly by ourselves...
Suddenly, I heard something.
Huh?
Heaven?
Subconsciously raise your head.
It was discovered that a plane was coming from the east.
He quickly raised his telescope.
fine.
It's not a Japanese plane.
There is no such big plaster flag logo. There is a blue five-star logo.
The reaction came back. It seemed to be an American aircraft? It was bi-winged. It looked like a very old carrier-based aircraft...
Zhang Yong suddenly remembered something.
It seems that the performance of the US carrier-based aircraft during this period was relatively poor.
All are biplanes.
Before World War II, what was the carrier-based aircraft of the United States? F4F? Wildcat? Hellcat?
No. The Hellcat seems to be the F6F. It entered service after the Pearl Harbor incident. It used to fight the Zero and couldn't take care of itself.
How can you be brilliant when you are good at it? Although the Type Zero is powerful, it is also a tragedy to encounter the Hellcat.
However, even F4F has not appeared yet.
I remembered something again...
There is an aircraft manufacturing company called Grumman.
This is an aircraft manufacturer that specializes in the production of carrier-based aircraft. It produces the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft.
It seems that we really need to come out and broaden our horizons.
Otherwise, I would never know that the system can actually open the world map.
The so-called world means the whole world.
In the huge battlefield of World War II, the Chinese battlefield was only part of it.
The cruelest thing is the Soviet-German battlefield...
The most spectacular one is the Pacific battlefield...
On the Chinese battlefield, rookies peck each other...
"Planes from the aircraft carrier Saratoga." Catherine looked up.
"Is Saratoga nearby?" Zhang Yong was curious.
He has never seen a real aircraft carrier.
Later generations have seen many pictures and videos on the Internet, but have never had any real close contact with it.
Suddenly I want to take a look at the aircraft carriers of this era.
"Definitely is."
"Go and have a look?"
"What catches your eyes?"
"I haven't seen it."
Zhang Yong focuses on sincerity.
As expected, Catherine agreed and asked the gunboat to find the aircraft carrier.
In fact, it is easy to find because there is a radio on the gunboat. You can contact it through the public channel.
"It's a bit far. Fifty nautical miles!"
"Go and have a look."
Zhang Yong insisted. He did not care about legal currency.
Anyway, earlier or later, the legal currency will not escape. Just look for it when you come back.
The gunboat moved forward at a constant speed.
Zhang Yong found that he seemed to be gradually adapting.
I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore. I don’t want to vomit anymore. I stand and walk staggeringly, but I don’t fall down.
good.
Although his marksmanship is not good and his fists and kicks are not good, he is good at other things.
Maybe, this is your future?
One hour……
Two hours...
Saw a destroyer flying the Stars and Stripes.
Oh, it's a destroyer from the Beautiful Country. I don't know what model it is. But it's definitely not the Greyhound...
Since the destroyer appears here, it means that the aircraft carrier is not far away.
Sure enough, the gunboat continued heading east.
Half an hour later, I finally saw the shadow of the aircraft carrier.
[Discovering anchorable objects...]
【Read data...】
[Discovering the Saratoga aircraft carrier...]
【You can anchor...】
[After anchoring, you will know its position at any time. The map of the area it passes will be lit...]
Suddenly, a series of messages came.
Zhang Yong bit his lip quietly.
He was worried that if he made a sound, others would notice something unusual.
At the same time, he also needs time to digest this information.
Anchored?
Open map?
Targeting the aircraft carrier Saratoga?
And then use it to help open the world map?
Is there such a function?
Oh, that's great...
Without thinking, anchor immediately.
Sure enough, a white mark appeared on the world map.
Open it with your mind. There are detailed longitudes and latitudes. However, there are only longitudes and latitudes. Nothing else.
Well……
It seems that I have to study again.
After going back, I need to study the longitude and latitude of the world carefully, and I must know roughly...
[Current number of anchors: 1]
[Only aircraft carriers can be anchored]
System information continued to arrive. Zhang Yong said he could accept it.
Just one. It's already a great surprise. The rest will be discussed later. He can't take into account that much.
Take your mind back.
Get ready for a closer look at the Saratoga aircraft carrier.
Suddenly, I found a wooden box floating in front of me.
