At noon, Zhang Yong woke up from the travel agency.
Sun Dingyuan was still motionless. It seemed as if he was going to wait some more.
This old guy really has a lot of patience.
But Zhang Yong was in no hurry.
He had had a good harvest last night. He was in a great mood.
Wang Jichang: 100,000. Chu Jingliang: 50,000. A total of 150,000 banknotes in his pocket.
If anyone else knew, they would be green with envy.
In addition to being jealous, they would think Zhang Yong was crazy.
How dare he do this to two big shots.
That's looking for trouble!
In the future, the two of them would never let Zhang Yong off the hook.
He, Zhang Yong, would be in danger at any time...
But!
Zhang Yong didn't care.
He has so many enemies anyway, he doesn't care if there are a few more.
Even if he dies, it doesn't matter.
He can just go back to the 21st century. He can play with his phone and computer...
Unlike now, when there are no electronic products...
As he rambled on, he thought of Project Zeus. He always felt that the start wasn't perfect.
How did the Allies deceive the German intelligence agency when they landed in Normandy later? It seems that they used the corpse of a fake intelligence officer?
That was the work of a group of people. It was the result of collective wisdom. It doesn't apply to Zhang Yong.
Because he could not possibly tell anyone else the core information. Not even his bed partner.
He had to figure it out on his own.
Or maybe without disclosing the core information...
'Knock, knock!'
'Knock, knock!'
There was a knock on the door.
Then Natasha's voice came, as sharp as a steel blade.
'Team leader!'
'Come in!'
Zhang Yong was helpless.
He didn't know what Natasha wanted with him.
As he had said, he really didn't understand anything about long or short waves. It was all too specialised. Even in the future, he wouldn't understand it.
Although, he was a science and engineering man. He also liked the military slightly. However, it was impossible for him to understand this kind of very specialised, even very obscure knowledge.
He wasn't pretending.
He really didn't understand.
The door opened. Natasha came in. Yang Lichu was still standing outside the door.
Okay, Natasha had brought Yang Lichu with her. There were also other security personnel around. She was a radio operator. She has a lot of communication codes. She can't appear alone. She must have brought her security detail with her. At least one team.
'What's the matter?'
Zhang Yongren is still under the covers. He pulls the quilt over himself.
Only Natasha would do this. This crazy woman, all she cares about is work. She doesn't see him as a man at all.
Of course, she probably doesn't see her as a woman either. Or maybe she doesn't want to be a woman at all.
Nonsense. Try to prepare yourself mentally.
Natasha must be in a hurry, because she's come to tell him something important.
'I've discovered a new radio signal.'
'Er...'
Zhang Yong really wants to give her a kick. Really.
You discovered a new radio signal and you're that excited? You came all the way from the Jiabiao Air Force Base?
You could have just called me. Or maybe you didn't even need to tell me.
It's not like it's an emergency. Could it be an alien signal?
"The power is very strong.'
'And?'
'It was very close.'
'And?'
'I judge that there are Japanese warships outside Hangzhou Bay.'
'Er...'
Zhang Yong paused.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what.
Are Japanese warships outside Hangzhou Bay strange? Not at all.
Our Nationalist government navy only has a few small fishing boats, which can't protect the coast. They can't even protect the Yangtze River. How can they protect the ocean?
We don't even have a real destroyer.
And among the Japanese navy, the smallest in terms of tonnage are destroyers.
The others are boats and don't deserve to be called ships.
A ship can only be called a ship if it has a displacement of at least 1,000 tons.
But the Nationalist Navy does not have any warships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. So the navy is just a name.
'You don't believe me?' Natasha was aggressive.
'I believe you,' Zhang Yong said hastily. He just wanted to get rid of her immediately.
He saw Yang Lichu smiling at the corner of her mouth outside.
Hey, this Natasha.
'No, you don't believe it,' Natasha frowned.
'Wait a minute,' Zhang Yong closed the door. Not letting Yang Lichu see outside.
Natasha watched him close the door and didn't notice anything wrong.
Her eyes still followed Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong made up his mind and pulled her to the side of the bed. Natasha still stared at him straight in the eyes.
She didn't think for a second that Zhang Yong would take advantage of her.
'Natasha, I want to tell you something in confidence,' Zhang Yong said slowly. "But this secret, you can only listen to, you cannot tell. You cannot tell anyone. Even your superiors.'
'I'm a radio operator," Natasha replied coldly.
Zhang Yong nodded.
The other party was flaunting her principle of confidentiality.
In that case, then...
'Okay, Natasha, there are Japanese warships off Hangzhou Bay, and we already know about it. We also know what they want to do.'
'What do they want to do?'
'Land at Jinshanwei.'
'Where is Jinshanwei?'
'I'll get the map.'
Zhang Yong went to open the door. He saw Yang Lichu was still there.
Haha. Chief Yang. Trying to eavesdrop through the door? Haha. Unfortunately, he couldn't do what he wanted.
Seeing Zhang Yong come out, Yang Lichu turned to leave.
She didn't want to be bothered by this guy's advances. But then she couldn't resist.
The result...
'Don't go. I need to talk to you later.'
'What is it? Tell me now.'
'I rescued six girls last night. Take them back to the Jiabiao base for me.'
'They're all your women. What do they have to do with me?'
'You used the word 'all' very well. Since they're all yours, of course it's your business.'
'You!'
Yang Lichu glared at him angrily.
Usually I don't realise how sharp-tongued this guy is. One sentence and you're speechless.
'The main thing is that there are too many. I can't handle it.'
'What?'
'Six of them came at once. I have to raise them and enjoy them slowly in the future.'
'You big lecher.'
'Hey, misunderstanding. They were abducted and sold. You can ask them for details. Settle down a bit, and if you can send them away...'
'If you can't send them away, you'll get the benefit?'
'Isn't that up to you? If they can't be sent away, I'll be forced to...'
'Dream on!'
Yang Lichu pretended to be angry and left.
In fact, she already knew what happened last night. She also knew what happened to those girls.
Zhang Yong turned back. He got the map. He closed the door again.
He went to the bed and spread the map.
'Look, this is Jinshanwei.'
'Why did the Japanese land here?'
'If, I say if, there is a large-scale battle in the Songhu area, the Japanese want to cut off the National Army's escape route, and landing at Jinshanwei is the fastest.'
'So, their warships are entering Jinshanwei now?'
'Get familiar in advance.'
'I see.'
Natasha finally nodded.
Then she stopped pestering Zhang Yong. She said goodbye cheerfully and left.
Zhang Yong: ???
Vaguely, I feel that something is wrong.
This Natasha, she wouldn't go running off and tell someone else, would she?
She's a Soviet...
Shake your head. Expel your wild thoughts from your mind.
The international situation at this moment in time is extremely complicated. Not to mention the people of this era, even time travellers can't see clearly.
One second, the two sides are still signing contracts. The next second, they're fighting.
Or one second they're still fighting, the next second they become allies.
Almost every country has two factions.
Many countries bet on both sides.
This is especially true of smaller countries, which dare not offend anyone and must therefore side with both sides.
Today, the Germans are strong, so they side with the Germans.
Tomorrow, the Soviets are strong, so they side with the Soviets.
So, you could say they have no position. They just go with the flow. They are like the grass on the wind.
They go whichever way the wind blows.
This is the case with Hungary and Romania.
An An thinks...
Is there any way to get some benefits...
and then find it useless.
It's beyond one's power. Even if you know, you can't use it.
After all, a person's power is limited.
Helpless. One can only lie low and wait for the right moment.
At this time, the map shows that Sun Dingyuan's entourage began to move around frequently.
The small white dots kept walking back and forth. It looked like they were making preparations before departure.
Is Sun Dingyuan going to make a move?
Okay, get ready.
'Dushanlong!'
'Here!'
A captain arrives.
He is the one who brought the 4th Airborne Regiment.
As arranged by Zhang Yong, Du Shanglong withdraws everyone. He intercepts in front of Adam's Inn.
The goal is, of course, to prevent Sun Dingyuan and the others from carrying weapons.
If they carry weapons, there will be a gunfight.
If there is a gunfight, it will alert the enemy.
What will Sun Dingyuan do?
He should go to Adam's Inn in batches, unarmed.
Then, Zhang Yong will intercept in the middle. Use cold weapons to capture the opponent. As long as no shots are fired, this can be repeated.
Just about to set off, suddenly, in the southwest, a large group of weapons appeared.
More and more...
More and more...
There are a thousand people.
Zhang Yong is puzzled. What is this for?
Then he discovered that they were all heading for the police station branch. He immediately reacted.
Sun Dingyuan has been exposed.
Xuan Tiewu is going to make a move.
Only Xuan Tiewu could mobilise thousands of people.
Of course, it could also be the Military Police Command. But Xuan Tiewu is more likely.
He hurried to the top floor of the travel agency. He raised his binoculars.
Sure enough, he saw heavily armed National Army soldiers. They were all from the Hangzhou Garrison Command.
They were carrying light machine guns and mortars...
Oh, they've even used mortars. Is Xuan Tiewu going all out?
Even if it means abandoning the five Britishers?
'Retreat!'
Zhang Yong gave the order decisively.
Since Xuan Tiewu was going to do it, he would let him do it.
He would quietly pick up the loose ends on the periphery.
Sun Dingyuan would not fight Xuan Tiewu head-on. He would surely scatter and flee.
In that case, it would save a lot of trouble.
His biggest weakness was that he could not operate on a large scale. He could not handle hundreds of people at the same time. However, if the targets were scattered, then there would be no problem at all. It would be just the right time to divide and conquer.
The map shows that the people around Sun Dingyuan have started to scatter.
Some are fleeing.
Apparently, they have also learned that Xuan Tiewu is leading troops to attack. They also know that the enemy is carrying mortars.
This is definitely not a good thing.
At this point, the only thing to do is to flee.
