The news spread, and hundreds of merchants gathered in front of the administrative building on Zhoujiadao.

For these canned foods, various merchants almost fought in the competition.

In the end, the lottery policy was adopted, and each merchant had a number, and if it was shaken, it was won. The winning merchant can purchase $1,000 in supplies.

Strange to say, in the end, only twenty merchants were unlucky and did not win the lottery.

Looking at the merchants who almost cried, Zhou Lin simply gave each of them a copy.

Finally hello, hello, hello everyone, all the merchants smiled.

The next day, the news that Zhoujiadao would limit the supply of canned beef to the US military attracted more than twice as many people as usual.

Merchants are also black-hearted, doubling the price on the basis of the wholesale price and selling in limited quantities.

Merchants have made a small fortune, and Zhou Lin has made a fortune. Only one-fifth of the total value of the goods was taken out, and $200,000 of the goods were recovered, and $350,000 was recovered.

Zhou Lin's mouth smiled crookedly, and he made a lot of money now.

However, what Zhou Lin didn't know was that the logistics director's mouth was even more crooked than Zhou Lin's.

These things, the US military can't take away, and it is likely that the Japanese will be cheaper to inspect.

The unwilling director of logistics was ready to collect more than $100,000 and sell them all.

However, those who do not believe in it and those who are unreliable cannot sell it, lest they be accused of selling military supplies, and they cannot afford it.

At this time, Zhou Lin came back, which was really a godsend.

In the same week, Lin did business several times, and was returned to iron, and there was no risk.

That's why this business has been achieved, and let Little Japan pick up the rat poop from the warehouse.

On this day, Zhou Lin came to Wu Mingtao's house with canned food.

"Are you still used to life on the island?" Zhou Lin asked.

Wu Mingtao said with satisfaction: "Don't get used to it! I want to settle on Zhoujia Island. ”

Zhou Lin promised: "Your character is not liked anywhere, as long as the Japanese leave China, when I go back to Zhoujia Island to settle down, you will go back to Zhoujia Island with me, and we will spend the rest of our lives in this blue sky, white clouds, sea water, and island." ”

Wu Mingtao said excitedly: "When the time comes, I will think about bringing my family over." ”

Zhou Lin: "Your family, I will arrange for someone to send them to the island in advance." You choose a small building in the three phases, and count it as a gift from me. ”

When Wu Mingtao heard this, he ran out excitedly, he was going to find Director Zou Jincheng and choose a small building with good sunshine.

Zhou Lin, who was left out in the cold, laughed and laughed.

But an hour later, Wu Mingtao came to the door.

"Have you chosen Xiaolou? What else is needed? Zhou Lin asked.

Wu Mingtao said happily: "I have chosen!" I'll move in when it's done. Nothing is needed for the time being. ”

Zhou Lin looked at Wu Mingtao who was holding the bag: "Then what are you?" ”

Wu Mingtao patted the bag he was carrying, and Zhou Lin immediately understood.

took Wu Mingtao to a secret room and closed the door of the secret room.

"This is the plan of action for the next stage of the 14th Army of the Japanese Army." Wu Mingtao took out a stack of electronic newspapers in his bag.

Zhou Lin gave Wu Mingtao a cigarette and looked down.

The Japanese forces participating in this campaign included the 14th Army Corps (commander Vice Admiral Masaharu Honma), the Philippine Campaign Joint Formation (commanded by Vice Admiral Takahashi Ibo, 10 cruisers, 29 destroyers, 1 aircraft carrier, and 3 seaplane carriers), the 5th Army Air Corps (commanded by Vice Admiral Hidera Xiaoice, 200 aircraft), the 11th Air Force of the Naval Base Air Force (commanded by Vice Admiral Tsukahara 243, 300 aircraft), and about 100 transport ships and auxiliary vessels.

1. The Japanese Army and Navy Air Force carried out a surprise attack on the US airfield and the Krabi (Luzon) naval base.

2. On the same day, the Japanese captured the Batan Islands, north of Luzon. After seizing air supremacy, the Japanese army took advantage of the fact that there was almost no fleet in the Luzon area, and sent the Tanaka Detachment and the Kanno Detachment of the 48th Division (about 4,000 men in total) to land and occupy the airfields at Apari and Vigan in northern Luzon, respectively.

3. The Kimura Detachment of the 16th Division (about 2,500 men) landed at Legazpi in southern Luzon, occupied the airfield and further expanded the gains.

4. The main force of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army landed in Lingayan Bay on the west coast of Luzon. The 16th Division landed in Ramon Bay, southeast of Luzon. At this point, the landing Japanese army formed a favorable situation of attacking Manila from the north and south and encircling and annihilating the main force of the US and Philippine forces.

After Zhou Lin finished reading it, under Wu Mingtao's gaze, he put away these telegrams.

"Although Zhoujiadao is my sphere of influence, Japanese spies must have penetrated in. So you have to be vigilant when you are in the pearl. Zhou Lin admonished.

Wu Mingtao nodded: "I'll pay attention, will the surveillance continue?" ”

"Go on! The U.S. and Japan are monitoring at the same time, and I need to see what they're going to do next. to determine the future direction of Zhoujiadao. ”

Wu Mingtao left happily, he felt that it was valuable to be able to help Zhou Lin.

After Zhou Lin took out all the telegrams and newspapers, he sorted them out and formed a secret telegram.

Then, he burned the dozen or so newspapers, and if others knew about them, they would be in trouble, so they had to be destroyed.

After doing this, Zhou Lin came to the secret room and sent an encrypted secret message to the major general of the CIA.

This encrypted cipher has a very high difficulty factor, and even Wu Mingtao can't break it.

After receiving Zhou Lin's secret telegram, the major general of the CIA knew that the situation was critical, and did not dare to delay, so he immediately forwarded it to his superiors.

When this telegram reached the hands of the President of the United States, he had no choice.

Relying on the 20,000 American troops in the Philippines, you want to stop the Japanese attack? It's impossible.

As a result, the top brass of the US military issued an order to respond.

First, when necessary, transfer the four-star General MacArthur, the commander of the US Far East, out of the Philippines to prevent General MacArthur from becoming a prisoner of the Japanese army.

2. Abandoning Manila, when the enemy's landing operation cannot be stopped, the US and Philippine forces can withdraw to the Bataan Peninsula within the Manila horizon.

3. Declare Manila an undefended city.

4. Authorize U.S. field commanders to give up resistance and lead their troops to surrender from the perspective of protecting the lives and safety of U.S. soldiers.

The so-called undefended cities are cities that have no military defenses and military facilities in wartime.

When a sovereign country is invaded and its capital or city is in danger of being occupied, the government of that country, in the name of humanitarian protection of its citizens and the protection of its cultural relics and monuments from destruction, declares it an undefended city, orders the defenders to withdraw, and automatically relinquishes the right to occupy the city, and the city adheres to the principle of non-resistance.

Before implementing the above four points, the US military first thought about how to cut off the tail.

For this reason, when the US military withdrew from the naval base, in order not to leave any benefits for the Japanese, it decided to "dispose of" some things that could not be taken away to Zhou Lin.

As a result, the major general took advantage of the fact that when Zhoujiadao was selling daily necessities for the US army, the flow of people increased greatly, and he came to Zhoujiadao without attracting attention.

At Smith's home, Zhou Lin met with Major General of the CIA.

"You mean: the U.S. military is going to abandon the South Seas?" Zhou Lin asked in astonishment.
