Dynasty Restaurant, on the third floor, inside the VIP box of Tingchao Pavilion.

Jiang Fangzhen was spreading out a map of the four southwestern provinces of China on the big round table, pointing to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway on the map, and said with a solemn expression:

"Once the Japanese army launches a surprise attack on Yunnan, this railway is likely to become a great security risk for Yunnan! Therefore, I suggest that personnel should be arranged to dismantle the more than 170 kilometers of line between Bisezhai and Hekou, and that all the more than 170 kilometers of roadbed be blown up! ”

"Are you really going to blow it up?" Long Zizhou muttered with obvious reluctance.

This is the only railway in Yunnan, and it is also an international railway that can connect with the main line of the Vietnamese railway!

"Must be fried!" Jiang Fangzhen nodded without hesitation and replied: "With the current strength of your Yunnan army, you can't hold this railway at all. If the Japanese army is allowed to approach Kunming along the railway, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Because the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression was stopped by Cheng Gong just after the start of the war, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was not damaged by the Japanese bombing, and it has always been an important window and economic artery for Yunnan facing Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States.

According to reliable information obtained by the Ministry of National Defense, after the occupation of Vietnam, Japan's southern dispatch army has arranged for troops to take over the southern section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and sent reconnaissance units to conduct on-the-spot surveys along the northern section.

Hearing Jiang Fangzhen mention the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, Cheng Gong remembered the ballad "Eighteen Monsters in Yunnan, the train is not as fast as the car, and it does not pass through the country and abroad".

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is one of the earliest railways built in China, and it is also an international railway connecting Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, with Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and Haiphong, the largest port city in the north. The total length of the railway is 859 kilometers, divided into two major sections in the north and south: the southern section is in Vietnam, called the Vietnamese section, from Lao Cai City on the Sino-Vietnamese border through the capital Hanoi to Hai Phong City, a total of 394 kilometers;

The northern section is in the territory of China, from the Laojie City cross-city Red River Railway Bridge into the Yunnan estuary, through the Bisezhai to Kunming, called the Yunnan section, the main line auxiliary rail 465 kilometers, set up 34 stations, started in 1903, completed and opened to traffic in 1910.

There are a total of 347 French-style buildings along the northern section, equipped with 29 steam locomotives and 508 vehicles, and there are 22 iron bridges about 1,000 meters on the line, 108 stone bridges about 3,118 meters, and 158 tunnels about 17,864 meters. The height difference between the north and south lines is 1940 meters, the curve accounts for 53%, the minimum curve radius is 80 meters, and the maximum slope is 330‰.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway also adopted the world's most advanced design and technology at that time, representing the highest level of railway engineering at that time, and the "herringbone bridge" is still a model in engineering textbooks. All the bridge steel structures, steel sleepers, and running equipment along the line are made in France and then shipped to Haiphong Port in Vietnam, where they are transported to the construction site for splicing and installation.

Cheng Gong also had to admire the high precision of the French road construction survey and the high precision of the manufacturing technology at that time.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was also known as one of the "Three Great Engineering Wonders of the World" by the British "Times" at that time because of its vast engineering and exquisite technology, along with the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal.

Before this battle started, the northern section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was blown up first, and Cheng Gong was very unhappy when he heard it.

It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build.

If this railway can be kept, the problem of inland transportation of all kinds of materials that Donghua has provided to Yunnan can be solved. Otherwise, it will all have to be transported by air. The cost of air transportation is many times higher than that of rail transportation.

Is it possible to negotiate with this old boy Hirohito and lease the port of Haiphong and the southern section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to me for a few years?

It's just that Cheng Gong also understands that if the little devils have really begun to plot against Yunnan, this Yunnan-Vietnam railway, which can go directly to Kunming, will definitely be a strategic offensive channel for the Japanese army to strictly defend to ensure the safety of the railway.

Moreover, with the brutality of the little devils, it is likely that the three-light policy of no man's land will be implemented along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway first.

Kill, rob, burn, this is Okamura Ningji's specialty!

At this time, the door of the box suddenly opened, and Zhang Chunrui, who had been waiting at the door, gave Tu Zhiqiang, who was standing behind Cheng Gong, a look.

Tu Zhiqiang strode over quietly and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Bureau, Colonel An Zhanjiang, deputy director of the Military Command Operations Department, said that he wants to see you on important matters." Zhang Chunrui lowered his voice and said in Tu Zhiqiang's ear.

Tu Zhiqiang frowned when he heard this, and muttered: "Did she say what happened?" ”

Zhang Chunrui shook his head and replied, "Just say that it is very important. ”

Tu Zhiqiang glanced back at Cheng Gong, and saw that the emperor seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't bother and walked out of the box directly.

Seeing An Zhanjiang standing at the entrance of the corridor from a distance, Tu Zhiqiang walked over with a serious expression.

An Zhanjiang first saluted, and then said in a low voice: "Director Tu, Kawashima Yoshiko said that she knew the relevant content of the Japanese army's 'Operation Plan Zero', and she wanted to report it to the emperor in person. ”

"How did she know that the emperor was here?" Tu Zhiqiang's eyes were sharp, and he asked solemnly.

"Same as me, guess." An Zhanjiang smiled and said, "Because Director Tu went downstairs twice to pick up people, the movement was a bit big. ”

"The latest 'Operation Zero Plan' formulated by the Japanese army, our people tried their best to get it, can Yoshiko Kawashima have this ability?" Tu Zhiqiang asked in a deep voice with questions in his eyes.

"In my judgment, it shouldn't look like a fake." An Zhanjiang said confidently: "Yoshiko Kawashima secretly sneaked into Paradise Island this time, and she was assigned by Kenji Dohihara. With Kenji Dohihara's status and identity in Japanese military circles, it is still very possible to know the relevant contents of the 'Operation Plan Zero'. ”

Tu Zhiqiang pondered for a moment, and then said, "You bring Yoshiko Kawashima here, and I'll ask you face to face." ”

An Zhanjiang nodded happily and took the order, and after a while, he brought Yoshiko Kawashima to Tu Zhiqiang.

"General Tu, hello, Aixin Jueluo Xianji greets you!" Yoshiko Kawashima calmly bowed to Tu Zhiqiang.

Tu Zhiqiang was unmoved, staring at Yoshiko Kawashima for a full minute with sharp eyes, and then slowly asked: "Even if you really know the content of that plan, you can completely hand over the information to Director An, why did you choose to report to our saint in person?" ”

"Because this information is just a stepping stone for me to ask to see His Majesty Emperor Jincheng." Yoshiko Kawashima replied seriously: "I am here to see Your Majesty on behalf of my imperial brother!" ”

"Pu Yi?!" Tu Zhiqiang asked intently.

"Yes!" Yoshiko Kawashima replied solemnly.

"Director An, please help me search her body." After Tu Zhiqiang finished speaking, he turned around and left, and said as he walked: "Wait here, I'll report to the emperor!" ”

How can Tu Zhiqiang explain this kind of thing, long before going upstairs, An Zhanjiang had already searched Kawashima Yoshiko from top to bottom, inside and out, even bras and underwear.

"Don't worry, Director Tu, I've already searched it!" An Zhanjiang smiled confidently.

After returning to the Tingchao Pavilion box, Tu Zhiqiang walked quickly behind Cheng Gong, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Colonel An Zhanjiang, deputy director of the Military Command Operations Department, took Yoshiko Kawashima to ask for a meeting outside. Yoshiko Kawashima said that she had information about the Japanese army's 'Operation Plan Zero'. ”

"Yoshiko Kawashima? An Zhanjiang? Cheng Gong muttered to himself, "How do they know that I am here?" ”

"It was Weichen who went downstairs twice before and after, and they guessed it." Tu Zhiqiang whispered a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, since they guessed it, let them in!" Cheng Gong's five fingers of his left hand tapped briskly on the tabletop, and said with an indifferent smile: "I'm very curious, how did An Zhanjiang get together with Kawashima Yoshiko." ”
