Chapter 215: Gloating

It was a lively scene for a long time.

It seemed that the department head had arrived. But it seemed that he hadn't.

Until 2am, Zhang Yong was not called over. He was about to doze off just watching from the outside.

Alas. What's going on?

Calling me here, but not telling me to go in. What the hell.

I really want to leave...

'Shao Long!'

I suddenly heard the Chief call out.

I hurriedly stood to attention as a reflex.

'Present!'

'Come here!'

'Yes!'

I ran over.

I saw the Chief. Mao Renfeng was not there.

Next to the Chief was a general. The epaulets had two gold triangles.

I guessed it might be the commander of the military police, Gu Zhenglun?

That's amazing.

He's here too.

It seems that the explosion at the military factory has had a major impact.

'Director-General,'

'It has been confirmed that the Japanese were responsible for the explosion. The President is furious and wants the Japanese caught.'

'Yes,'

'We have just received news that the Japanese have infiltrated the Japanese Consulate.'

'Huh?'

'The President has ordered us to do whatever it takes to catch them. If they cannot be captured alive, they must be killed. We cannot let the Japanese be so arrogant.'

'Yes,'

Zhang Yong solemnly agreed.

He muttered to himself. So it's about catching someone!

I thought it was about solving a case. I didn't think it was about catching someone. We have to go into the Japanese Consulate to catch someone.

That's a bit difficult!

The Japanese Consulate is heavily guarded.

There is a squadron of Japanese soldiers just on the outer perimeter. About 150 people.

They are armed with rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

If we storm the place, we will definitely have to pay a heavy price. Unless we bring in the direct-fire artillery.

But that would make a lot of noise. It would be like going to war.

Moreover, inside the consulate, there are also a large number of black-clad ronin, probably hundreds of them. If these people take up arms, they will also be a formidable defensive force.

In short, to put it simply, storming the place is not impossible. But the price will definitely be very high.

Is Gu Zhenglun here because the military police want to take the lead? Otherwise, they would have to mobilise troops from outside.

There was silence.

This was a major matter, and it was not his place to speak.

In fact, at this moment, the Director and Gu Zhenglun seemed to be in considerable distress.

The Commissioner, in a fit of anger, ordered a forced arrest. It would not be easy for the people below to carry it out.

No one knew what would happen if there was a real fight.

In fact, the Restoration Society was not good at these forced raids. Normally, there would not be such strong resistance when arresting people.

At most, there were just a few enemies. No more than ten at the most. But now they were facing hundreds of Japanese invaders, and they were all heavily armed. There were heavy machine guns. There were grenade launchers.

Was this about arresting people?

This was war!

Direct combat! It was likely to escalate into an all-out war between the two countries.

If the Japanese Consulate was destroyed by artillery fire, the Japanese invaders would definitely go to the international community to create a public outcry, and then send in the army to intervene.

How many people were in the Restoration Society?

Even if they were all mobilised, they would not necessarily be a match for the Japanese invaders.

A squadron of Japanese invaders in a defensive position is pretty tough. Without artillery cover, it would be enough to kill many people.

Chiang Kai-shek was just in a moment of anger. He didn't think about the consequences.

Can the military police fight?

It's okay to scare the civilians.

Combat effectiveness, heh.

If you really want to fight, you would have to at least mobilise the elite 87th and 88th divisions...

Oh my, that would be a big deal. It would be like an early outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.

'What happened?'

'The culprit is named Kumazo Takegawa.'

'How do you know?'

'He was very arrogant. He even left a declaration of war.'

'Huh?'

'This son of a bitch blew up the military factory and immediately infiltrated the Japanese consulate. We thought we would be unable to do anything to him.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

There were not many Japanese spies as arrogant as this one. He must have been well prepared.

Hiding in the Japanese consulate really did provide protection!

"Director!'

'The Generalissimo is on the phone!'

Suddenly, Mao Renfeng hurriedly arrived.

Oh, the King of Rolls had arrived. But he had not appeared before. What a low-key King of Rolls.

'I know!'

The Director-General hurriedly answered the phone.

Zhang Yong surmised that Chiang Kai-shek had probably changed his mind again.

Attacking the Japanese Consulate by force was no trivial matter. The others, realising the serious consequences, would surely persuade him to give up. And so he would.

Sure enough, soon afterwards, the Director-General returned. He said to Gu Zhenglun, 'The Commander-in-Chief has instructed that we should discuss this at length.'

'Understood!' Gu Zhenglun was obviously relieved.

The others were also obviously relieved.

Fortunately, the Wei Zu finally changed his mind, otherwise, if he really mobilised heavy troops to attack the consulate, the consequences would be unstoppable...

'But, we still have to catch the culprit.'

'Understood...'

Gu Zhenglun nodded.

The Chu Zu also frowned.

They couldn't attack the consulate, and they had to catch someone. It was not an easy task.

However, this was the Wei Zu's second instruction, so it would definitely not be changed again. Because the pressure had been put on the Fuxing Society and the Military Police Command.

It would be best if they could complete the task. If they couldn't, they still had to.

If they couldn't catch the person, the Commissioner would be unhappy. He would think you were incompetent. He didn't care about the reasons.

Zhang Yong quietly retreated.

He wasn't good at this kind of thing. Hiding was the way to go.

Isn't Chun Yu Chi here? Perfect. Let him handle it...

Sure enough...

'Chun Yu Chi!'

'Present!'

'The task is assigned to your team. Go all out. Catch the person within 24 hours.'

'Sir...'

Chu Chi was suddenly anxious.

24 hours? How is that possible? 240 hours is probably not enough.

The Japanese invaders have already taken refuge in the consulate. If they don't even dare to come out, how are you going to catch them? Can you fly into the consulate and catch someone? That's ridiculous!

'This is the order of the Prime Minister.'

'Yes!'

Chu Chi was dumbfounded.

The Prime Minister was using the Prime Minister to pressure him. He was finished immediately.

No matter who was behind him. If he didn't complete the task, he would be dealt with. Who would dare question the anger of the Wei Zuo?

Even the backer would suffer.

Haha.

Serves you right!

Zhang Yong secretly gloated.

Damn. You're screwed, Chun Yu Chi. I'll deal with you later.

He hid behind someone so that Chun Yu Chi wouldn't see him.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The rest of the time was spent dawdling. The people didn't leave. But their minds were long gone.

At 4am, everyone dispersed.

Zhang Yong also returned to the Liuguo Hotel and went to sleep in Room 306.

This was his regular private room.

In hindsight, this was not a solution. He still needed to rent some housing.

For example, someone like Li Yunyang probably would not be comfortable living in a small Western-style building. It would be better for him to live in an ordinary private house. It would also be low-key.

In the future, when Nanjing fell, he would need to find more places to hide. The cunning rabbit has 300 burrows.

He thought confusedly. Finally, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he didn't know what time it was. Anyway, the sun was already shining on the windowsill.

He picked up his watch and looked at it. Good grief, it was 11 o'clock in the morning.

He had slept for a total of six hours last night? Oh, that wasn't much.

He washed up briefly.

Then he came down to eat.

As a result, he saw Hokkō Tarō rushing over again.

He saw Zhang Yong. He was overjoyed. He hurried over.

'Liu Sang!'

'Liu Sang!'

kept saying hello.

His face didn't show any signs of anxiety, but his footsteps betrayed him.

He was anxious. Really anxious. He was anxious to retrieve the secret letter. Otherwise, once Kagekatsu Nobuaki learned the truth, there would be no turning back.

'I think I have a lead,' Zhang Yong assured him.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.

Perhaps he could use Kitakata Kotaro and Tian Qingyuan to lure Takekawa Kumazo out?
