In the night spot, the night sky is full of stars in the city, and only in the remote places of the South Sea Islands can you see such a dreamy night sky, especially after the rain.

The rainforest is very dense, a small river divides this jungle into east and west, up the river, there is a small village, at this time it is late at night, there is no other light in the village except a few lanterns, most of the villagers have fallen asleep, most of the buildings are also dark and dreary, except for one building.

It is a Lingnan-style stilted building, which does not occupy a large area, but it is very high above the ground. This will help you avoid the damp flow from the river. And you can hide from those poisonous snakes and insects, most of the buildings in the village are like this, but compared to other buildings, this building is higher, and. The lights were also on in the room of the stilted building.

It was a kerosene lamp, resting on a long bamboo table, and at the long table sat a man in the prime of life, in front of whom rested what looked like a book, with a pencil in his hand, and at his feet a tube radio. The inscription on it says it's a new type of radio made by a Chinese company that can listen to radio programs broadcast far away. However, the radio has not been turned on yet, because there is no electricity, and this radio uses a tube, which consumes a lot of power and cannot use batteries. It can only be powered by alternating current, as evidenced by the power cord on the floor, which runs from inside the house to the outside. And fixed to the wall, apparently not improvised

At this moment, the man sitting at the long table kept looking at the alarm clock on the table, looking somewhat anxious, until there was a sound of footsteps outside the house. He furrowed his brow, stood up and walked to the door.

A young man stood on the stairs and said to the man, "Owner, the waterwheel has been repaired, and electricity will be available soon." ”

"Good, good. You go over and look at the point, and I'll give them fifteen minutes to get the motor right. ”

After the man finished speaking, he hurriedly walked back to the long table and sat down, and Empress Cai began to wipe a rifle.

This man is Ouyang Nanhua, and his identity is the owner of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Field, but his real identity is an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the head of the North Borneo Intelligence Station. Now he is waiting to receive an order from the Military Intelligence Agency, and the device that receives the order is this tube radio at his feet.

A radio station has long been installed in the Dongchang of the Qing Dynasty in Xinmin. In addition to the radio station, this new type of communication receiving equipment was used to communicate with the Military Intelligence Agency, and with the introduction and sale of tube radios, this new type of communication receiving equipment also became a reuse of the intelligence stations to receive Military Intelligence Agency orders. The greatest advantage of this method of receiving orders was that it was more concealed, and the British Navy now had several radio listening stations in North Borneo. It was used to search for secret radio stations, which were originally intended to find the whereabouts of the German Far East fleet, but as long as the radio station was transmitting, the British Navy's listening stations could detect it, if it was measured by triangulation. It was only a matter of time before he found the radio station in the Xinmin reclamation field, so Ouyang Nanhua would rather use the radio to receive orders more and avoid using the radio as much as possible, so as not to expose the location of the radio station and attract a sweep by the British army.

If the motor on the water wheel can't be repaired in time, then Ouyang Nanhua may not take the risk of using the radio to contact the Military Intelligence Bureau.

A year ago, the Xinmin Reclamation Farm built a dam on the small river and installed a water wheel, which can not only be used to irrigate the rice fields, but also to drive a hydroelectric motor with a water wheel, which can not only power the villagers' electric lights, but also ensure that Ouyang Nanhua listens to the "Voice of the Far East." However, just yesterday, there was a clash on the other side of the dam, and a group of Japanese immigrants fought with Chinese expatriates for land in a skirmish near the dam. Although there were few casualties, the water wheel was damaged in the clashes, and the motor was also damaged, and Ouyang Nanhua has been busy directing the villagers to repair the machinery and equipment on the side of the dam.

As for the group of Japanese immigrants, they originally established a settlement in the jungle a few kilometers upstream of the creek, but as the number of Japanese immigrants increased. The expansion of settlements into the lower reaches of the river led to a conflict of interest with the Chinese immigrants in the Xinmin reclamation site downstream, which eventually turned into an armed conflict, with both sides armed with guns and ammunition, and the conflict intensified, but no one was willing to intervene.

North Borneo is now a British colony. However, the British colonial authorities were reluctant to mediate the conflict between Chinese immigrants and Japanese immigrants. The reason is simple: since the armed uprising of the Korean bridge people in North Borneo, the situation here has become uncontrollable, coupled with the outbreak of war in Europe. The British military was overstretched, so in the eyes of the British colonial authorities, instead of directly sending troops to take over the whole of North Borneo, it was better to support the indigenous forces and bring in external forces to restrain the local Chinese forces, as for the British army. Just play stationed at a few strategic points and you're good to go.

For the wishful thinking of the British colonial authorities. Ouyang Nanhua can see it clearly, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has also reminded him to pay attention, but since the focus of the Military Intelligence Bureau is now on the Sumatra side, then, the Chinese reclamation field here in North Borneo can only rely on its own strength to maintain the current interests, fortunately, the Military Intelligence Bureau often sends people to secretly transport ordnance to many reclamation fields, and at present, it seems that the strategic balance in North Borneo will not be broken for a moment, but in the long run, the British colonial authorities seem to be determined to introduce Japanese immigrants into North Borneo, then, The local Chinese reclamation farm will definitely gradually lose its advantage. And more and more Chinese and overseas Chinese will move to Sumatra.

Considering that the central government does not want to provoke Britain too much now, the Military Intelligence Agency has actually issued orders to intelligence agents like Ouyang Nanhua. Let them retreat on their own initiative in the event of an unfavorable situation. I also went to Sumatra, and as for the reclamation farms that had been in operation for several years, I could only give up for the time being.

Ouyang Nanhua had already prepared to retreat according to the instructions of the Military Intelligence Bureau, not only gathered the villagers' daily necessities, but also prepared boats on the riverbank, once they needed to retreat, they could all evacuate the Xinmin reclamation site within one day. First go to New Fuzhou, then turn to Sumatra, and when they get there, there are people who have specially placed them.

However, it now seems that the firepower of Japanese immigrants is significantly inferior to that of Chinese immigrants, in yesterday's firefight. As soon as the machine guns in the reclamation field rang out, the Japanese immigrants who only had rifles fled, and if the other party came over after strengthening their armament, Ouyang Nanhua was even ready to drag out those mountain guns.

What do you mean by "armed migration"? Here it is. Xinchuan was armed to Yayue, but Ouyang Nanhua was not satisfied, at present, there were more than 2,000 people in the star field, and there were more than 1,000 rifles, and not everyone could get a breech gun, so Ouyang Nanhua was so eagerly waiting for the signal from the radio, because he knew it very well. If all goes well, there is now a Chinese Navy submarine sailing near the coastline north of the Xinyue Reclamation Field, waiting for the Reclamation Ground to send someone to pick up the munitions.

The news that the submarine would rush to the Xinmin reclamation site to deliver arms was the information that Ouyang Nanhua got from the radio some time ago, and according to the intelligence at that time, just tonight, the Military Intelligence Bureau will broadcast the exact location of the submarine through the "Voice of the Far East." After receiving the location, Ouyang Nanhua can bring people to rush to meet it.

It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Nanhua is eagerly waiting for the repair of the motor, otherwise, he will have to take the risk of using the radio to communicate.

Finally, fifteen minutes later, the light in the room came on and the motor was repaired. And began to supply electricity to the village.

Ouyang Nanhua put down the rifle and rubbed his hands. After glancing at the time, there were still five minutes before the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency broadcast, so I couldn't wait to turn on the switch on the radio and tune to "Voice of the Far East." Channels of radio stations.

Now pick up a newly received telegram. According to accurate information from the Chinese Embassy in Washington, the US Congress officially passed US President Wilson's bill this afternoon, and according to this bill, the United States will officially enter a state of war with Germany.

According to the opinion of some military observers in China. At present, the United States is not very strong militarily. Although the strength of the US Navy is relatively strong, in view of the fact that the main battlefield of the current war in Europe is the land battlefield, military observers believe. Even if the US government declared war on the German government. It still takes some time for the U.S. Army to expand before it can enter the European theater, and now, the total strength of the U.S. army is only about 100,000 men, and it lacks the necessary weapons, even if the U.S. government can send troops to Europe in time, the U.S. army may have to be equipped with some French and British weapons.

Audience friends, that's the end of today's late-night news, thank you for listening, I wish you a good night, and we'll see you again tomorrow.

Next, as usual, as is customary, we will send coded signals via radio waves to some of the Chinese commercial vessels sailing on the high seas. In order to enhance the communication, the communication process will take about fifteen minutes. Now, take note. The first broadcast was the information of the fishing vessel numbered Yuan-6. Here's the code:

The voice on the radio paused for a moment, and then a female voice without any emotion appeared, and all the numbers that were broadcast were groups of numbers, which did not mean anything on the surface, but for Ouyang Nanhua, these numbers were signals, orders, and his number in the Military Intelligence Bureau.

While listening carefully to the numbers on the radio. While jotting down the numbers on the book that looked like an account book, Ouyang Nanhua took five minutes to write down all the numbers, and then checked with the announcer's announcement, after that, he turned off the radio, walked to the corner, took out a flashlight from the drawer, and unscrewed the back cover of the flashlight. I pulled out a codebook from inside, and began to dig through the code. Soon, the code came out, and it was the location coordinates of the submarine.

Ouyang Nanhua did not hesitate, and immediately walked out of the house with a rifle, one by one. Wake up those reliable villagers and subordinates, and then rush to the river with more than 100 people, board a few wooden boats, sail downstream along the river, and take half an hour to reach the mouth of the river, and rely on a seafarer-born "villager" to use a compass and a sextant to locate and gradually touch the predetermined sea area.

At this time, the sea surface is not very windy and waves, and the moonlight is also very bright. It didn't take long for Ouyang Nanhua to get in touch with the Chinese Navy's ocean-going supply submarine that had been lurking for a long time, and the two sides quickly got together.

Ouyang Nanhua jumped onto the front deck of the submarine, where an officer was already standing, who was the commander of the ocean-going supply submarine.

"Hello, I am the commander of this submarine, named Rao Guoliang."

"My name is Ouyang Nanhua. These people around me are men I can fully trust

Ouyang Nanhua and Rao Guoliang met, exchanged a few words, and then quickly began the transfer of arms, first by the sailors into boxes of arms moved to the deck, and then by the villagers to carry the arms onto those wooden boats, this work lasted for several hours, until dawn, it was over, those arms almost all the wooden cabins were occupied, which made some unknown villagers feel strange. Because some of the arms boxes had the words "wounded shells" clearly written on the outside, and there was no such large-caliber shells in the villages, and there were no such cannons.

But Ouyang Nanhua and Rao Guoliang knew very well who these shells were for, in fact, the reason why the Xinmin Reclamation Field was not in a hurry to move away was because it was also a "naval supply warehouse." "And the user is not the Chinese Navy. It was the Far East Detachment of the German Navy, that is, the Spey fleet, which gave the British Navy a headache.

Although the Spee's fleet could supply charcoal and daily necessities by plundering the merchant ships of the Entente countries, the shells used by the warships could not be replenished by this method of piracy and plunder, and could only rely on the Chinese arsenals, and those arsenals were originally German machines, and the manufacture of German shells was a gesture of raising hands

。

In the past, Spee's fleet could rely on civilian ships for replenishment in the waters near Hainan Island, but now. There were already spies from the Entente over there, so they could only find suitable supply locations in the Nanyang region, so the Xinmin Reclamation Field came in handy, and Ouyang Nanhua was transformed. Became an "international volunteer." "Exclusively supplied arms to the German fleet as "arms smugglers".

However, considering that Ouyang Nanhua had never carried out a similar mission before, before retreating, Rao Guoliang deliberately left two naval officers, one is German Tu Ze, and the other is an ordnance officer, and the two will also participate in this naval supply mission as "international volunteers".

Although it is a little insidious, but this is an international struggle, as an intelligence officer, Ouyang Nanhua has never rejected this kind of international struggle, and he is even addicted to this kind of international struggle.
