After three days of life on the dreary ship, Zhou Lin slept in addition to eating, and Xiangjun read books. In fact, everyone is the same, even Xiaolin wants to vomit when he sleeps.

I was dizzy and dizzy, and found that the ship had arrived at the port of Hankou at this time.

Looking at the passengers who were in a hurry to get off the boat, Zhou Lin said with a smile: "They are in a hurry to go home, so they are in a hurry, we are playing, and we will go down when we are free." ”

Not only did the group not get off the boat, but Miss Kong Er also didn't get off the boat.

She came to Zhou Lin's side: "The disembarker is looking at the shore of the dock, and you are watching the disembarker on the boat, who is watching you?" ”

Zhou Lin didn't look back: "I look at the ground on the boat, the earth looks at the sky on the ground, and the sky looks at me in the sky." Everybody's watching! ”

Miss Kong Er looked at Zhou Lin: "You are a gentleman with a moist taste." ”

Zhou Lin smiled: "Some people say that Jigong is demented, do you say he is demented?" ”

Miss Kong Er frowned: "Say that you are smiling, that is to lift you, don't be upset." When you come to Wuhan, do you want to visit relatives or friends? ”

"I don't go to relatives or friends, but I come to find the yellow crane who goes to the west."

Miss Kong Er frowned and said, "Obviously a gentleman, but he learns to be a literati." You just say that you are here to play, yes, but you want to say what to find the yellow crane that went west. ”

Xiangjun couldn't help it, and hid on the side and laughed.

After the passengers on the boat were finished, Zhou Lin and his party got off the boat.

"Need us to take you to the hotel?" Miss Kong Er asked.

Zhou Lin shook his head: "Ask you something, where is the most prosperous and lively?" ”

"Hankou Shanghai Road, if you go anywhere, you will stay in the Hankou Hotel, report my name, and I will definitely give you a 50% discount." Miss Kong Er wrote a note and handed it to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin asked Xiangjun to accept the note, and then said to Miss Kong Er: "For the sake of helping me introduce the hotel, I will give you a small fortune." Tomorrow morning, if you find us, you'll make more than $10,000. ”

"Who cares about your $10,000!" Miss Kong Er turned around and got into the car and left the dock.

I called a taxi, came to Shanghai Road in Hankou, and walked into the Hankou Hotel.

Zhou Lin and the others sat down and asked the owner of the hotel to call over,

"Who are you? Asked me to come down and meet? A man in his thirties came to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin handed him the note written by Miss Kong Er.

As soon as Brother Childe saw the strip, his stiff face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a smiling face.

personally arranged Zhou Lin and his entourage, and then made an appointment to have lunch together for tomorrow.

Seeing that the accommodation cost three hundred oceans a day, Xiao Lin was distressed like a knife.

This is still a 50% discount, if it is not discounted, Yamada gives him the action fee, enough for several people to live for more than three days, and after three days, they will have to sleep on the street.

Zhou Lin, who had slept enough on the boat, took Xiaolin and others to the cargo dock, and used the bill of lading to take out the tightly controlled materials worth 15,000 US dollars and transfer them to the consignment storage warehouse.

After all this, I went to dinner.

This night, Wuhan was not calm because of Zhou Lin's arrival.

At seven o'clock in the official residence, Dai Li stood in front of the old man.

"Has he arrived?" The old man looked at a sheet of materials, which recorded all Zhou Lin's actions from the time he got on the boat to the time he stayed at the Hankou Hotel.

"It's here, just now he went to Pier 5 to go through the transfer procedures for his goods." Dai Li immediately reported Zhou Lin's latest situation.

"! It's a money junkie! How could he not be like his grandfather and his father? On a business trip, I still want to make a fortune. ”

Dai Li said with a smile: "If he doesn't like money, how can his parents go to the United States?" We can't find him to make a passage. ”

The old man nodded: "What's the matter with the second girl of the Kong family?" ”

Dai Li hurriedly said: "The people of Zhongtong took a nap, and she ran away to Mingzhu. It may be conspicuous, recognized, and finally chased to the ship. If it weren't for Zhou Lin, she would have to endure hardship. Those people are looking for this opportunity. ”

When the lady next to her heard this, she involved her niece and asked what was going on.

Dai Li had no choice but to report the situation again, and when he heard it, his wife broke out in a cold sweat, turned around and picked up the phone, and asked for the Kong family.

The Kong family was also in the whole family style at this time, but Miss Kong Er was surprised by this situation, where would she be afraid, and she was grinding her father to persuade her mother to raise her noble hand.

On the phone, Mrs. Kong said, and then, the phone was transferred to Miss Kong Er, and Mrs., who had always been fond of her, also scolded a few words this time.

"If someone hadn't saved you, what would have happened to you as a girl who fell into the hands of the Japanese? Do you know? After speaking, Madame hung up the phone vigorously.

"Isn't it happening?" The old man hurriedly persuaded his wife.

"If it weren't for your little fellow, something would have happened!" Madame's anger had not subsided, and she thought of something: "Da Ling, don't you want to see Zhou Lin?" I want to see it too! ”

The old man knew that his wife was thinking about how to help Zhou Lin and return the favor, so he agreed.

"Have you made any arrangements to meet?" The old man asked.

"It's arranged, the church is full of our people. As soon as he entered the confessional room, he would immediately enter the tunnel, get on the bus at the entrance of West Street and go to the No. 3 residence, which would take about twenty minutes. He will see you for half an hour and then go back to the confessional. Dai Lian carefully explained the arrangements one by one.

The old man nodded: "I originally wanted to give him something, but I was afraid of revealing his identity, so you will arrange for the woman who took care of Uncle Bolt to cook a few of Uncle Bolt's favorite dishes tomorrow and send them to Zhou Lin to taste the taste of his hometown." ”

"Yes! When you meet him tomorrow, Mao Yimin and I will pick him up. ”

"Don't show a little rumor, he's a treasure now." The old man admonished.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiangjun was left in the hotel, and Zhou Lin only took Xiaolin alone

No. 16 Shanghai Road, Hankou, St. Joseph's Church, Hankou.

St. Joseph's Cathedral in Hankou is a large Catholic church located on Shanghai Road in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

In 1866, the Bishop of the Vicariate of Eastern Hubei and the Bishop of the Italian Franciscan Church filled in a 5,080-square-meter marshland that he had bought in the British Concession of Hankow, and built the church on this foundation from 1875 to 1876.

St. Joseph's Church has a construction area of 1,024 square meters, a depth of 40 meters, a width of 26 meters, and a height of 22 meters.

The hall can accommodate more than 2,000 people. The architectural style belongs to the Romanesque.

There are a pair of round bell towers at the back of the main hall. The designer was the Italian priest Angeius Vaudagna.

In 1923, the Vicariate of Hankow was established and St. Joseph's Church became the Cathedral. On its side is the bishop's office

Zhou Lin sat in the church for ten minutes, and then said to Xiao Lin: "You are just staring here, mainly to prevent people from Wuhan from entering the church." Don't act rashly, we can't compare with Mingzhu here, so we have to be patient. ”

Kobayashi rolled his eyes, which meant that I was an agent.

"There's only one exit here, and as long as you hold here, I'm safe. Because of the, my time may take two hours, and my safety is up to you. ”

After speaking, Zhou Lin got up and walked towards the confessional room.

It just so happened that there was no one in the confessional room, and after Zhou Lin entered, a person disguised as Zhou Lin's figure immediately took over Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin left the church from the tunnel below the confessional.

Soon, Zhou Lin came out of the tunnel and found the car waiting for him at the entrance of Xijiekou, and Dai Lia was on it.

As soon as Zhou Lin got into the car, the car sped forward.

After ten minutes of driving, the car entered a basement.

All the people in Zhou Lin's car got down and got into another car.

The car drove a few hundred meters forward and two more people went up. So the car left through the north exit.

And Zhou Linxin's car drove out from the south exit. After ten minutes of driving, I drove into a large courtyard.

This is the old man's official residence, and Mao Yimin stood outside the door to answer.

Since it had already been explained in advance, there were no other people in the hospital. As soon as Zhou Lin got out of the car, he was immediately taken into the office.

There, a man and a woman, were sitting.

Zhou Lin saw the portrait of the old man on the file, and knew that it was him, so he stepped forward and saluted.

The old man smiled and pulled Zhou Lin to sit at a dinner table: "Let's talk while eating." ”

Mao Yimin said to Zhou Lin: "Knowing that you are coming, the chairman asked the aunt who used to cook for your grandfather to make this table of your grandfather's favorite dishes." ”

Zhou Lin used chopsticks to take a chopstick for each dish and tasted them one by one.

He seemed to see his grandfather's movements and demeanor when he ate these dishes.

Zhou Lin's expression attracted the attention of his wife, and she asked, "Child, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhou Lin replied, "I'm guessing grandpa's expressions and actions. ”

No one in the room spoke, everyone was asking Zhou Lin to think about it.

A few minutes later, Zhou Lin returned to his normal demeanor and began to talk about the Second Battle of Wuhan.

"You mean, the Japanese really have this plan?" The old man looked at Zhou Lin and asked.

"Yes! The Japanese guessed that many of us didn't believe that he had the ability to fight again, so he did the opposite. Zhou Lin told about the intentions of the Japanese.

"Don't his troops need a break?" Mao Yimin asked.

"The troops that the Japanese redeployed were all fully manned. The troops that had been defeated in the first battle were withdrawn to Wuhu to recuperate, while the three divisions that had newly entered Jiujiang were all full. In addition, Japan will use 10 divisions and nearly 300,000 troops to take Wuhan this time. ”

Zhou Lin's words made the old man anxious, and he asked Mao Yimin to bring the plan for the Japanese Wuhan campaign last time: "How is this time different from the last time?" ”

"There is no chance of a sneak attack this time, it is a bloody battle. There must be no garrison in Jigong Mountain, and the Japanese plan to collapse the Jigong Mountain tunnel before the war. ”

"I also guess that the Japanese will take the chicken mountain knife." The old man said.

"Another one is that this time, the Japanese will attack from the north of Dabie Mountain, and it is difficult to defend against the Japanese army on that line."

"That's the weakness of our defense." Mao Yimin said.

"This time the Japanese took a three-line attack, except for the two lines above, the Xianning Japanese had to take it. Each line is the focus, which line breaks through, which line becomes the main line of attack, and the other lines cooperate with the main line of attack to form a sharp knife insertion. ”

"If you look at it this way, Wuhan is in danger this time." Dai Li said.

"Therefore, the subordinates believe that it is better to withdraw the people and things in Wuhan as soon as possible and form an empty city." Zhou Lin suggested.

The old man looked at Mao Yimin, and Mao Yimin immediately replied: "At present, 70 percent of Wuhan's industry and commerce have been evacuated to Chongqing and Changsha. ”

"How long will it take to pull it out?" The old man asked.

"At least a month!" Mao Yimin calculated the answer.

"Yoshikawa told me when the Japanese would start attacking?" Dai Li asked.

"Yoshikawa is now the focus of suspicion, and there is no chance to come out at all. These messages were still from the time when I went to the headquarters of the Japanese army in China, and Yoshikawa took the notice and typed it into me with a password. The time he did not say, the estimate is undecided. But looking at the situation of the Japanese army chasing me to Wuhan, within half a month, the Japanese will have to act. ”

"For half a month, it's too late to mobilize troops, and it seems that Wuhan is really going to be abandoned." The old man sighed.

Now on the three lines of the planned offensive of the Japanese army, the Chinese army is less than 200,000.

With 200,000 Chinese troops to fight 300,000 Japanese troops, it is impossible to win.

No matter how many troops are invested, in the end, it will be like the Songhu battlefield, and after the loss, there will be no strength to fight again. And the Japanese Kwantung Army is said to have the possibility of sending troops into the pass.

Therefore, the top priority is to evacuate more people before the second Wuhan Campaign, as long as there are people, there is hope for China's war of resistance.

Before leaving, Zhou Lin explained the Japanese fireworks plan. According to Yamada's tone, the reason why the Second Battle of Wuhan was certain was because the Japanese fireworks were present in these three lines. As long as the battle began, there was a steady stream of military operations on the ground for the air force to guide the target, as well as the movements of China's military operations.

Therefore, Zhou Lin reminded you to pay attention to the action of fireworks.

"Where will your fireworks team be?" Dai Li asked.

"I don't know for the time being, but one thing is for sure, the fifth group will not participate in the operation of the Second Battle of Wuhan." Zhou Lin said affirmatively.

After Zhou Lin said goodbye to the old man and his wife, he got into the car again.

"When will the military deployment in Wuhan be given to me?" Zhou Lin asked.

Dai Li thought for a moment and said, "I will send someone to send it to Mingzhu alone." If it's given to you this time, it looks fake. ”

"How do I answer Yamada." Zhou Lin asked.

"You just say it takes time to get a battle plan."

Zhou Lin also thinks this method is good. As for other matters, the two of them explained it in the car.

"When are you going to go back to Mingzhu?" Dai Li finally asked.

"The Japanese were waiting for my reply, so I helped the people of Wuhan drag him for a few days. When I go back to the hotel today, I will say that I have not talked about it, and in three days, I will go to the Catholic Church again, just make a show, and then tell them the results. ”

Dai Kasa smiled: "Let Yamada stretch his neck and wait." ”

Before getting out of the car, Zhou Lin handed over a bill of lading and said: "The things I brought this time are all imported cosmetics and high-end daily necessities, and you ask those reliable people at the dock who don't know to pick up a batch, which is a gift for you, my cousin, and the chairman and his wife." ”

Dai Li took the receipt order: "Do you want me to find someone to buy the other goods?" I know that your stuff is in demand in Wuhan. ”

Zhou Lin shook his head: "It's better to be careful, I can sell it myself." ”

Then, Zhou Lin got out of the car, entered the tunnel, and returned to the confessional room.

By the time Zhou Lin came out of the confessional room, an hour and a half had passed.

Seeing Zhou Lin come out of the confessional room, the small forestry department smiled reassuringly. He stared at Zhou Lin's back for more than an hour. Of course, he didn't know that the back was not Zhou Lin at all.
