Chapter 227: Arrangement, False Alarm
The strong urge to kill means that for Shen Chen, the task given to him by God must be completed.
Because of the punishment of rape and the elimination of evil, Shen Chen has already obtained unimaginable benefits, the improvement of physical strength and agility, and the wonder of the sixth sense.
So this time, Shen Chen believed that there would be a bigger leap, although he couldn't think of what it would be, but he was very much looking forward to it.
Of course, his arrangement was not without resistance. Yujuan and the others' reaction made him have to spend some time.
Yujuan and the others could not have known that this life would end in about a year, and then the brutal rule of the Japanese would follow.
Now I live well, eat well, have extra money every month, and don't have to worry about food and clothing at all. In particular, this is still the ground of China, and it is inevitable to be apprehensive to move to Macao, which is ruled by foreign devils.
"Brother, why are you moving?" Yujuan hugged the babbling child, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, begging or questioning: "It's not good to live, and when you go to the realm where you are not familiar with life, you have to start from scratch." β
Shen Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that you are unfamiliar with the place, there are people there who arrange to take care of you." Besides, it's good to look at it now, but you don't know that the outside of this projectile land is occupied by the Japanese. It won't be long before the Japanese enter the concession, are you willing to stay? β
When it came to the Japanese devils, Yujuan was obviously scared, hesitated, and was a little shaken.
"Then, brother, aren't you going with me?" Yujuan felt that her brother had a bottom in her heart when she followed, and she was not ambiguous where she went.
Shen Chen smiled and said, "You guys go over first, and I'll meet you after I'm done dealing with this side." β
Seeing that his sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and Ah Xiu were silent, Shen Chen was relieved again: "The main thing is that some properties have to be sold and exchanged for money." As for Macau, it's not as you think, it's still mostly Chinese, and you will soon get used to it. β
Ah Xiu glanced at Shen Chen, although she was unwilling, but if Yujuan and Erzhu decided, it would be difficult for her to stay alone.
Erzhu didn't have many ideas, although he felt that he didn't have to worry about food and shelter here, and he was living quite well, but he was also afraid of Japanese devils from the bottom of his heart.
"Pack up, I'll have you on board the day after tomorrow." Shen Chen didn't want to bother talking anymore and decided the matter, "I opened an account for Yujuan and wired the money, so that you don't have to take it with you." How to use it, Miss Lu over there will teach you. β
Yujuan opened her mouth, but finally did not object, looked at Shen Chen, and said expectantly and with concern: "Brother, then you hurry up!" β
Shen Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll rush over as soon as possible." β
As he spoke, he got up and touched the little doll's face, and told the little doll in the giggling voice: "You don't need to bring large things, you can only have a suitcase for each person, and you can buy it over there if you lack it." β
"I, shall I take two?" Erzhu raised his head and asked timidly.
"Okay!" Shen Chen happily agreed, took out a small pile of banknotes and handed it to Yujuan, "Divide it in a while, bring some per person, this is foreign money." β
Yujuan took it, paused, and said expectantly: "Brother, stay and eat!" β
Shen Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I made an appointment with someone to talk about things today, and I'll come over tomorrow night and have a meal together." With that, he touched his sister's hair apologetically and turned to leave.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shen Chen had an appointment with Alcott, and he wanted to get information about the Japanese cipher through this Korean.
But although the plan was good, it could not keep up with the rapid changes, and the Koreans missed the appointment and left Shanghai suddenly.
This caught Alcoat off guard. He had worked hard for this plan, but now it was all in vain.
Frustration and disappointment enveloped Alcott, who wanted to make a big achievement, but he didn't expect to end up with nothing.
Just now, they were laughing at the US Naval Intelligence Organization as a bunch of stupid people who would use the method of open robbery to get the password, and now, they can't even do it.
Shen Chen didn't care about this, in terms of the personnel and level of code breaking, the United States was higher than Japan, and in the Pacific War, it took a great advantage.
But he was also thinking about other workarounds, or providing the Yankees with some other important piece of information in exchange.
"My friend, although this result is disappointing, I will try to deliver on my promise." Alcot raised his head and said sincerely, "Although it is a little difficult, it is not your fault, you are ready for it, are you?" So, I'll try my best to help you. β
Shen Chen touched his chin and thought about it, Alcote only said that he tried his best, but did not say certainly, that is to say, now he may be pretending, and the result given to him in the end may also be disappointing.
Well, he really needs to come up with something to get Alcott through this crisis so that his promise can really be kept.
"We have an old Chinese saying: no merit is not lost." Shen Chen stood up and said to Alcott, "Maybe we can solve this problem in other ways. As he spoke, he winked at Orcott.
Alcote picked up the wine glass very casually, poured it for Shen Chen, pointed to the terrace, and said, "Drink some wine, and then blow the wind on the terrace, maybe you can have new ideas." β
Shen Chen nodded, took the wine glass and walked to the terrace with Alcott. Through the courtyard, you can see the scenery of the street, there are not many pedestrians, there are not many vehicles, and the weather is very hot, which makes people feel anxious.
"It doesn't matter if you don't get the password for the time being, you will get more information about the Japanese password in the future, it's not that I'm lying to you, but I want to point you a shortcut." Shen Chen was silent for a while and spoke.
Alcot looked at Shen Chen with great interest, then nodded with a smile and said, "Shen, you are the most powerful Chinese I have ever met, I absolutely believe in you." β
Shen Chen smiled faintly, not caring about Alcott's compliment. To exploit or to be exploited, this relationship is normal. Agents, who carry out orders, can sacrifice friendship at some point.
"Soon, an American will come to Chongqing and be employed by the Nationalist Government. You should establish a secret connection with him and get information from him about the Japanese cipher. β
Shen Chen said slowly: "This American has written a book on code breaking, which has been a headache for the US government, and, he-" Shen Chen raised his hand with one finger bent, "He only has nine fingers." β
Alcott frowned, his mind was rapidly spinning and searching for the American described by Shen Chen in his memory, who was he, a talent in code-breaking, and had written a book, that isββγ
"The American Black Room? Herbert? Osborne? Yardley? Alcot had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, looking at Shen Chen in disbelief.
Shen Chen nodded, he didn't know as much as Alcot knew, but as long as he knew that there was such a thing.
"No way, our government will not allow him to come to China." After Alcott finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly added: "Of course, our government supports the anti-Japanese struggle of the Chinese people, butββ"
"The international image of your government is to support China's resistance to Japan, so it should not oppose Yadli coming to China; But if he publicly agrees with Yardley's visit to China, then Yardley's trip to China will take on an official color. β
After a pause, Shen Chen pretended to explain profoundly, "So, if you want to not get yourself into trouble on the Yardley issue, the best way is to pretend that you don't know anything. Besidesβ"
"Besides, Yardley is no longer affiliated with the American Black Room, he is a free agent." Alcott's nimble mind also found a key to the problem: "The secrecy of the MIA is by no means the result of a kind of peer-to-peer reciprocal consideration, but out of subtle international political considerations." It's justβ"
"Don't believe me?" Shen Chen asked a little mockingly, "You think I'm lying to you?" β
"No, of course not." Alcott quickly denied it, and found another excuse, "I'm just worried about whether I can negotiate with Yardley and let him provide the results of his work." β
"That's your problem." Shen Chen doesn't care about this, the information has already been given to you, whether you are willing to make a contribution through it or not is your personal problem, "Of course, you should keep this extremely secret, and regard this as a long-term job." If successful, you'll find a shortcut to deciphering the Japanese code from Yardley, and it's endless. β
"I should apply for a transfer or find an excuse to go to Chongqing, shouldn't I?" Alcott said thoughtfully: "Of course, this should be able to wait for a while, I think three or four months, or half a year." By the way, Shen, do you know anything about 'Tong work'? β
Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what this 'Tong job' was, so he had to ask in detail.
The so-called "Kiri" work was a "peace negotiation" in which the Japanese insisted on or partially insisted on vested interests to induce the Nationalist Government to surrender.
Out of various considerations, the Chongqing side responded to this policy of the Japanese side and held talks with it.
The Americans, on the other hand, heard the rumors and expressed their worries about this, fearing that China would give in, but for various reasons at home and abroad, they could not provide greater support to China.
It was precisely this "Tong work" that enabled Wang's puppet government to announce its establishment, but it did not receive a positive response from the Japanese government.
Because the Japanese still have a fluke mentality, they are worried that they will support Wang Hypocrisy too much and anger Jiang someone. It was not until the "Tong work" was declared a failure that the Japanese government recognized the Wang puppet regime.
Although Shen Chen did not know about the "Tong work", it is an undoubted fact that the Chinese government did not give in and insisted on the War of Resistance in history.
Shen Chen knew Alcott's worries, if China really surrendered, what he said would become a cabinet in the air, the skin would not exist, Mao would be attached, and China could hold on, which was the fundamental premise of all problems.
Therefore, he can dispel Alcott's doubts, and as for whether Alcot believes it or not, it has nothing to do with him.
"With all due respect, Alcott, you are a Westerner, and although you speak well in Chinese, you still can't fully understand the thinking of Orientals."
Shen Chen thought for a while, organized the language, and said to Alcott: "The so-called 'Tong work' is just wishful thinking on the part of the Japanese, and for the Chinese government, not refusing is just a false promise, so as to achieve a certain goal. β
Taking a sip of wine, Shen Chen continued: "The protracted war has now almost become the consensus of all strata in the country. Under these circumstances, there is no reason why Japan should not take advantage of Japan's 'peace' signal in order to hold back the Japanese army, delay its offensive, and gain respite from the changes in the international situation. In Chinese parlance: This is called a delaying tactic. β
"It's a complicated oriental strategy." Alcote shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't particularly agree with Shen Chen's statement.
"You still have doubts, needless to say, I know that." Shen Chen thought for a while and continued: "It doesn't take too long, in another two or three months, the situation will be clear." β
A few months later, Japan officially recognized Wang's puppet regime and completely severed negotiations with the Nationalist Government.
Although there were several temptations after that, with the entry of Britain and the United States into the war, Chairman Chiang's determination was difficult to shake.
As for Yardley's matter, it was Cao Yixin who told Shen Chen. She went to Hong Kong this time to answer and temporarily act as an interpreter.
At this time, Cao Yixin had already boarded the ship and was on her way to Hong Kong.
The sea water is extremely pure blue, and the endless is full of sparkling microwaves, and the sea water is like a lake, blue and green, condensed into a piece.
The mail ship flying the British flag broke the waves on the sea, and Cao Yixin stood on the deck and looked into the distance, imaginative and imagining.
Shen Chen did not accompany him, which has to be said to be a pity.
But Cao Yixin was not only disappointed, but also a little envious, envious that Shen Chen was still free and did not join the organization.
Moreover, Shen Chen also gave her additional information, which was very important, and it could completely enable her to be rewarded by her boss again.
As for the relationship with Shen Chen, on the last night before parting, the two finally pierced the layer of window paper. Maybe it's just a physical need, not a real love, but who knows if it will become like that in the future?
Thinking of this, Cao Yixin couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth and laughed softly.
There was a sudden commotion on the ship, and there were people rushing around on the deck.
"What's wrong?" Cao Yixin grabbed a crew member and asked.
"Japanese warships." The crew stretched out their hands and pointed in the direction of the bow of the ship, their faces panicked.
There was a huge warship heading towards the mail ship. Although the sky was a little dark, Cao Yixin could still see the plaster flag on the bow of the ship clearly.
"Wouldn't it? The ship was British. Cao Yixin muttered.
But the Japanese warship began to give a signal, and the mail ship slowly stopped at sea.
"What are the Japanese going to do?" Cao Yixin was puzzled, and the people around her were the same.
"Their artillery is moving, and it's time to start shelling." A traveler exclaimed and pointed out.
"Boom," suddenly a deafening cannon sound sounded, and seven or eight dazzling flames erupted from the Japanese warship, forming a wall of fire and pressing down on the mail ship, as if it was about to swallow the mail ship in an instant.
Everyone on the boat was dumbfounded, "Oh my God......" Cao Yixin cried out.
