These domestic animals grow very quickly on Zhoujia Island and reproduce quickly.

Now, once a week, Zhoujiadao has a supply of fresh meat.

After staying on Zhoujia Island for a week, Zhou Lin went to Singapore and flew to Chongqing by special plane to begin his work as an envoy.

When Zhou Lin arrived at the airport, only one vice minister of foreign affairs from the Nationalist Government came to greet him.

In the past, when American dignitaries came, Chongqing would send the top 10 people to pick them up.

But because Zhou Lin was "a former member of the national government", the old man thought that there was no need to give Zhou Lin too good treatment.

Zhou Lin knew the old man's thoughts, so twelve hours after arriving in Chongqing, he transferred to Zhijiang Airport.

From the winter of 1938 to October 1945, Zhijiang Airport successively had the former Soviet Volunteer Air Force Squadron, the 2nd Group of the Chinese Air Force, the 68th Flight Wing of the 14th Air Force of the United States Air Force, the 1st Group (Bomber Team) of the Sino-US Air Force Mixed Regiment, the 5th Group (Fighter Team) and the 4th Group of the Chinese Air Force stationed at Zhijiang Airport.

In particular, from the beginning of 1944 to April 1945, a large number of Shark, Mustang, and Black Widow fighters, reconnaissance planes, medium-range B-25 bombers, and large C-46 transport planes of the Chinese and US Air Forces gathered at Zhijiang Airport.

At most, there are 3 to 400 planes, which are responsible for the tasks of destroying enemy planes, cutting off supply lines and air reinforcements. This mountainous airfield played a major role in the anti-fascist war with a military status that could not be ignored.

When Zhou Lin was in the United States, his plan was to represent the President of the United States and go to Zhijiang Airport to visit the American soldiers fighting here.

When Zhou Lin got out of the plane, all the American soldiers at the airport, led by a major general, saluted Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin, who was wearing the uniform of the U.S. Navy, returned a military salute.

"The President asked me to thank you on his behalf! The world's anti-fascist war has your share of credit in it. Zhou Lin's words ushered in warm applause.

The two major generals accompanied Zhou Lin to inspect the US troops.

Then, they walked into a meeting room at the airport with Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin announced Washington's order to the two generals: form a bomber formation and bomb the Japanese mainland.

After secret talks, the US military dispatched "B-29 bombers" to take off from Zhijiang Airport and fly first in the direction of the Solomon Islands, while US fighter planes in Papua New Guinea took off to escort the bombers to Tokyo, Japan.

The "B-29 bomber" can fly for 20 hours, from the Zhijiang River over Papua New Guinea to Tokyo, Japan, in just six hours, and 12 hours round trip.

After the discussion, Zhou Lin sent a telegram to the US Supreme Commander in Papua New Guinea, and the two sides set a time and finally reported it to the White House.

The White House quickly approved the battle plan, which was scheduled for May 11, 1945, to bomb Tokyo, Japan, codenamed "Hellfire".

On the night of May 11, 1945, 334 B-29s flew straight to Tokyo from Papua New Guinea, carrying out sweeping bombing in turns, dropping more than 2,000 tons of incendiary bombs, 41 square kilometers of the city center were razed to the ground, 267,000 buildings were burned, and a total of 83,793 people were killed and burned (the actual death may have exceeded 90,000), exceeding the number of deaths in the Tokyo earthquake on September 1, 1923 (73,000); Another 100,000 people were seriously injured and 1 million were left homeless.

On the night of 16 May, more than 300 B-29 bombers, each carrying 6 tons of incendiary bombs, flew at a low altitude along the Tokyoshi Sumida River, bombarded them in turn for two and a half hours, and dropped all the bombs on the densely populated areas, completely burning everything on the 56 square kilometers of ground.

The plane could still see the skyrocketing fire from 250 kilometers away in the Pacific Ocean. There were several fires that lasted for 4 days before they went out. Tens of thousands of victims died of suffocation due to the depletion of oxygen due to combustion, especially in low-lying areas, where people who caught fire and lacked oxygen rushed to jump into the river to survive, and as a result, the Sumida River was filled with corpses as black as charcoal. People scramble to take refuge in the sturdy Meijiza Theater, where the bodies of the suffocated bodies are stacked on top of each other at a height of 2 meters.

At that time, the Japanese air force and air defense force had been destroyed, and the American planes were like no one; In addition, there are only 9 doctors and 11 nurses left in the government medical personnel in Beijing, and they have completely lost their ability to provide ambulance.

On 22 May, 500 B-29s once again "swept the tail" and dropped 4,000 tons of incendiary bombs on residential areas in the north and west. Fires caused by fuel oil fell from the sky, and high-rise buildings floated in flames. Since then, Tokyo has become a "dead city", and there are not many good houses and healthy people to bomb anymore, and it has lost the value of bombing.

No one knows who presided over these three bombings of Tokyo by the US military.

And the old man in Chongqing guessed a little: "I can't think of it." ”

Madame heard him mutter, "Darling, what are you talking about?" ”

The old man lit the newspaper and said, "I suspect that one man commanded these three bombings of Tokyo. ”

Madame was also interested: "Who do you suspect?" Do we know each other? ”

"I know, I know him too well, I know him when he is burned to ashes." The old man said.

As soon as the lady heard the old man's words, she asked, "You mean that little fellow of yours?" ”

He came to Chongqing for 12 hours and then went from Chongqing to Zhijiang Airport. And for these three bombings, the bombers all departed from Zhijiang airfield. The old man said.

The lady looked at the old man in astonishment: "You offended him and sent a deputy minister to the airport to greet him, what are you not slapping him in the face?" ”

The old man argued: "He was once a little radish of our military commander. ”

Madame immediately took out a newspaper from the drawer: "Look at the introduction, Zhou Lin, joined the U.S. intelligence service in August 1937, was promoted to major in June 1938, lieutenant colonel in July 1939, colonel in September 1940, and major general in 1943. ”

The old man stammered, looked at the newspaper, and had nothing to say.

"Perhaps, the Americans are clear about the fact that you forced Zhou Lin to join the military command and sold you tobacco and soil, otherwise, why didn't the Americans kick Zhou Lin out with one kick like you, but continued to entrust you with important tasks."

Madame's words made the old man's eyelids jump.

He can now be sure that the U.S. government knows about these things and has an opinion about him.

Why did Zhou Lin go to Zhijiang when he couldn't see himself as soon as he came?

Obviously, Zhou Lin didn't want to see him, and Zhou Lin hated him all the time in his heart.

Just when he was worried, Mao Yimin came in.

Madame also stopped talking and looked at Mao Yimin.

The old man immediately came back to his senses and asked Mao Yimin seriously: "What's the matter?" ”

"Uncle, something is wrong!" Mao Yimin said softly.

The old man and his wife looked at Mao Yimin together: "What's wrong?" ”

"Minister He has been attacked at home!" After Mao Yimin finished speaking, he looked at the old man.

"Attacked? He's dead? As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately asked.

Mao Yimin hurriedly said: "When he was attacked, Minister He and his family hid in the basement, and the rescue troops rescued in time, so the attackers retreated." ”

"How many people attacked Minister Ho's house? I remember that Minister He's home was protected by more than 30 people, all of whom were his selected elite soldiers. The old man said.
