Chapter XXVIII
When the Japanese naval aviation unit closest to Qiongdao received the order and began to fly around like headless flies, Hu Biao had already begun to arrange the first batch of civilians and troops to move to Xilong. On the side of Haikang City, you can't stay too long.
Through the deployment of naval and air guard posts and the intelligence personnel deployed in the coastal waters, Hu Biao knew that the Japanese army had already learned the news of the attack on Weizhou Island. It's a pity that the Japanese army wants to find out who attacked Weizhou Island, but I'm afraid it will take some effort.
Leaving Qin Tianyou in charge of the transfer of troops for the relocation of the people, Hu Biao prepared to leave for Haiphong Port. Before leaving, Hu Biao also received the news that the Eagle Strike team had landed safely at the airport. Seeing this telegram, Hu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he ordered: "Call back to the golden eagle, let it familiarize itself with the situation around the airport as soon as possible, and do not conduct actual flight training in the near future." The hired foreign military pilots, let him entertain them well, and strive to let the foreign devils stay there for a longer period of time. ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
There are airports, there are fighter planes, but there is not much ammunition to be attached, and aircraft fuel also needs to be purchased from outside. Without ammo and fuel, the fighter plane will become an ornament. These supporting facilities need to be gradually improved by Hu Biao.
Before leaving, Hu Biao called Liu Shixing and Lei Xiong again and gave them corresponding combat instructions. Originally, it was promised to hand over the weapons and ammunition of the Qiongdao Independent Guerrillas, but I was afraid that it would be postponed for a while.
Ma Jiasheng, the deputy captain of the independent team who learned the news, could also understand, but he still asked curiously: "Should you have done the matter of Weizhou Island?" In the past two days, the little devils who invaded Qiong Island have no heart to continue to encircle and suppress! ”
Faced with such an inquiry, Liu Shixing smiled and said, "Captain Ma, I can't say anything until I get permission." It's just to avoid accidents that we will inform you, and you don't think we talk about it! ”
This tone undoubtedly proves Ma Jiasheng's judgment and analysis. Thinking of the information collected in the past two days, Ma Jiasheng's heart was also extremely shocked. He knew how difficult it would be to capture Weizhou Island, which was garrisoned by a large group of Japanese troops, overnight.
What shocked and intrigued Ma Jiasheng the most was that he heard that the little devil had really launched a large-scale search at sea, and it was said that the three warships docked on Weizhou Island were also missing. In addition to this, the warplanes parked on the island of Weizhou also disappeared.
Although the Japanese had already detected that fighter planes had arrived over the southwest in the early hours of the morning. But where the fighters flew to, the Japanese still had no way of knowing. To say that this was done by Gui Jun, the little devil is also very difficult to believe.
Protesting the Gui army's sneak attack on Weizhou Island will only cause laughter. As long as the little devil dares to protest, I believe that Bai Chongxi will not hesitate to bear this 'crime'. The plane is easy to hide, but the battleship can't be carried to the shore and hidden, right?
In the past two days, in addition to intensifying the search on the sea surface, the Japanese army has also arranged for spies deployed in the southwest to investigate the situation of various colonial fleets. Try to find their ships from the various colonial fleets.
At this time, two priests, who had returned safely to Haiphong Port and left by plane as soon as possible, told the Church about the crime of shooting the priest by the Japanese army when they arrived in the country where the church was located. As soon as the news came out, public opinion in various countries condemned it one after another.
Originally, Fuso wanted to deny it, but as clear photos were released, the Japanese army also became the target of criticism from the people of all countries. On the contrary, the news of the Japanese invasion of the eastern powers also began to be known to all countries.
In this era, the Church has a great influence in Europe and the United States, and the Church will naturally not sit idly by and ignore this kind of shooting of priests. For a time, the number of countries submitting protests to the Fuso government was also increasing.
Hearing this news, Lao Jiang, who was far away in the mountain city, was also full of joy and said, "Yunong, has this matter been investigated clearly?" ”
"Got it checked! The man who rescued the two priests was said to be a mercenary force of White Russians. According to what I have learned, this matter should be inseparable from General Flying Fox. Flying Fox, it should be in the southwest at the moment! ”
Hearing that this had something to do with Hu Biao, Lao Jiang was also very surprised: "Why did he go to the southwest?" Isn't he in Sioux province? ”
"Not there! The last time I contacted him, he was supposed to be in Shanghai. After the Chinese New Year, I lost contact with him. In the southwest, we don't have many intelligence officers, and the information we can find is extremely limited.
It's just that one thing is basically certain, he should have a private deal with Bai Jiansheng and others. After Yangcheng was occupied by the Japanese army, Flying Fox's medicine channels seemed to have been greatly affected. Perhaps for this reason, let him go to the southwest in person! ”
Before leaving Shanghai, Hu Biao sent a telegram to Dai Li, informing him that the number of drugs traded would be reduced. The reason is that the Japanese army captured Yangcheng, so that some of his purchase channels were affected, and it took time to open up new purchase channels.
Actually, it's just an excuse. When Lao Jiang invited Li Delin to inquire, Li did not hide it, and told Hu Biao that he was going to the southwest to open a store in Longzhou and establish new supply channels with Europe and the United States and other countries.
Regarding Hu Biao's request for land in Xilong County, Li Delin concealed it. As for the reason, Li Delin is also curious. But after Weizhou Island was captured by Hu Biao, he knew that Hu Biao would stay in the southwest and would become his strong reinforcement.
At present, all kinds of situations in the Japanese army prove that sooner or later, the Japanese army that has invaded Qiongdao will wave its troops to attack Gui Province. The Japanese army will not sit idly by and watch the existence of the Angui line of communication, and will inevitably find ways to sabotage or control it and cut off the overseas material channels of the Nationalist Government.
As far as Li Delin is concerned, since Lao Jiang asked him, he also knows some information. Even if Hu Biao is still weak at the moment, no one can deny that Hu Biao's command ability and his ability to train troops are extremely attractive to all parties.
Even if he wanted to recruit Hu Biao for his own use, Li Delin already felt that Hu Biao refused to even recruit Lao Jiang, and the Gui family wanted to recruit Hu Biao, but he was afraid that there was little hope. Moreover, Hu Biao's current strength is actually not small.
The enlarged troops in the Soviet Province alone far exceeded the troops of one division. What's more, Hu Biao himself is very good at hiding his strength, who knows how many troops can be used in Hu Biao's hands? If you want to forcibly subdue it, it's almost impossible!
Regarding the confrontation that took place in the mountain city, Hu Biao, who had already arrived in Haiphong City, did not pay much attention to it. After meeting up with Brooke and Lin Shiya and others who arrived here, Hu Biao also planned to go to Menia by boat to carry out his gold digging plan.
Oil is known as black gold, and this time he went to the United States, in addition to dealing with some arms dealers, Hu Biao also planned to purchase a large number of goods in the United States. I believe that such a financier will be welcomed by high-ranking military and political officials in Menia.
With the deal with Hu Biao, Brooke, who already has a wide range of contacts in the business world, looked at Hu Biao who arrived in Haiphong City, and said very seriously: "Hu, as your most loyal friend, I want to know what you want to do?" ”
"Brooke, why do you ask such a question? Will this affect our friendship? ”
"Nope! But as your friend, I need to know more about you, and even your ambitions. Ever since you sent Lin to settle in Menia, I think you're planning to evacuate Shanghai and move your forces to the southwest, right? ”
"That's right! I shouldn't have hidden it from you in this matter, right? Brooke, we are friends, and friends should be more honest with each other. If I'm not mistaken, someone asked you, what do I really want to do? ”
It is clear that Brooke's family has a lot of connections and power in both the military and political worlds of Menia. Knowing that Hu Biao needed to purchase equipment and weapons, the senior military and political officials in Menia naturally became interested in Hu Biao.
For their part, the high-ranking military and political officials of the Melody were eager to increase their interests in the Far East. But in order to avoid the situation getting out of control, they naturally need to know more about Hu Biao and Hu Biao's ambitions.
Faced with Hu Biao's rhetorical question, Brooke finally spread his hands and said, "Okay! I knew I couldn't hide anything from you. Indeed it is! I told my friends in the military about the number of fighters you plan to purchase, and they were shocked.
Because the military and your government have a series of cooperation. They want to know, are you buying these fighters on behalf of the government or individuals? To be precise, they want to know, do you want to be a dictator! ”
Hearing this, Hu Biao couldn't help but smile and said: "Brooke, your imagination is very good, I don't even dare to reveal my identity easily when it comes to the invaders right now, so how can I talk about a dictator?" I don't represent the government, I only represent individuals! ”
"So why do you need to buy all that equipment and equipment? Do you want to be a warlord? ”
“NO! Warlords are unpopular and will not be recognized by others. I'm growing stronger, and I'm more just trying to own a piece of private territory. Just like your manor in Menia, everything can be decided by itself.
At present, the situation in the Far East is chaotic, and there are wars everywhere, not to mention that it is difficult to find a place where we can really settle down. Although I can settle in Menia, I am sure that you will welcome a rich man like me.
The problem is, this is my homeland and I don't want to be too far from it. You have been in the East for a short time, and you should know that we Orientals have plots where we Orientals are inseparable from our homeland. Therefore, I need more strength to defend myself and expel the invaders! ”
I know that some people in Menia are very good at supporting the so-called dictatorship and warlord forces. By supporting such people, they continue to dump their goods and weapons and ammunition. And Hu Biao doesn't want to be this kind of person, he wants to have more autonomy.
This is also the reason why some people said that they could provide loans, but Hu Biao said that they could pay in cash. In this way, tell those with ulterior motives that they want Hu Biao to be a puppet and thug, it is simply impossible!
"Is your so-called private territory over here?"
"That's right! I think the situation should be more suitable for me. In addition to myself, I also need to think about my subordinates and families. So, I need a bigger territory and a stronger ability to protect myself! ”
Hu Biao, who still needed the support of Menia in the later stage, did not want to fall out with Menia. A little bit of ambition should be of interest to more people. I believe it will be easier to purchase some sensitive and forbidden materials!
