The media in China, Japan, and even the world have been filled with news from China and Japan at this moment.

First, Japan attacked the Chinese attack fleet, and then the Japanese Combined Fleet was severely beaten by Chinese fighters.

Two countries, two different news, but the spearhead of the news all points to the death of the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, whether he is dead or not.

This has become a major topic in Japan, and it is somewhat related to Yamamoto's status in Japan. In the hearts of the vast majority of Japanese people, there are three people in Japan, one is naturally Emperor Hirohito, and the rest are Hideki Tojo and Isoroku Yamamoto.

These three people can be called the three pillars of Japan, supporting the expansion of Japan's sky. But now one of the pillars is in danger, whether it will collapse or not, has become a topic of greatest concern to the Japanese people.

On the contrary, the matter of the surprise attack on the Chinese attack fleet by the Japanese Combined Fleet did not receive much attention. Even the Yamato, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was sunk, and Japan could no longer stand on the stage of a victor in this battle. Even if the Chinese attack fleet was disabled, the Japanese fleet was sunk even the flagship, and the sinking of the flagship was a great failure in itself. Saying that the merits and demerits are offset is already a great comfort to Japan.

If it is confirmed that Yamamoto Isoroku has been killed, then for Japan, Japan will be the losing side in this naval contest with China. The warship is gone, and it can be rebuilt, but Yamamoto Isoroku, the admiral who is hailed as the hero of Yamato by the Japanese people, is dead and dead. The blow to the Japanese people will also be very heavy. The morale and morale of the army, which were originally raised, will also be hit again.

Anger: Japan's most powerful combined fleet, the Yamato, its flagship, was sunk. Concern: Will the commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, live or die? Retaliation: The Japanese people have begun to gather and are ready to demand that the military expand the war against China and give an explanation to the Japanese people. Wake up: when their voices are drowned out by the slogans of war, it is so insignificant.

And what about in the land of China? When the news aired that night, the land of China boiled. Whether it is the people in the north who enjoy the heating at home and watch TV, or the people in the south who relax with TV programs after a day's work, the land of China. There was a lot of talk everywhere. Everywhere there were shouts of denunciation, everywhere there were voices of calls for war.

Anger: Anger at the undead actions of the Japanese thieves, anger at the dead and wounded officers and sailors of the attacking fleet, anger at the villain behavior of little Japan.

Worried: Worried about Chen Shao's own decision. Worried about the sons and daughters who joined the army. Worried about thousands of soldiers.

Retaliation: Little Japan must be taught a painful lesson. Attacking the Combined Fleet is not enough.

……

In short, whether it is China or Japan, the domestic tide is one after another. The unique name of Japanese devils has also officially appeared on the land of China, and at this moment, there is no longer the word Japanese in the mouth of the Chinese, and they will be Japanese devils or little Japanese devils in the future. So much so that it has evolved into American devils, red-haired devils, and British devils, which is probably the so-called not a family that does not enter the door, in the mouth of the Chinese people, the Allied Alliance has become a nest of devils.

And these things in China and Japan have also caused great repercussions in the world.

The Allies saw Japan's determination, and under the auspices of the paralyzed Roosevelt, the United States began to decide to provide Japan with the greatest possible assistance, and the United States would give Japan whatever it wanted. The planned decision to station Super Fortress bombers on the Japanese mainland is also beginning to be implemented. Not only that, but the United States also decided to provide a large number of its own latest research results to the Japanese military first. At the same time, in order to expand China's war in the Pacific, the Pacific Fleet, which has recovered its vitality, will set sail for the western Pacific to join up with the Japanese Combined Fleet to form a fleet group for joint operations to jointly cope with China's naval pressure.

The United States reflects that Japan's greatest strategic intention has been achieved.

On the land front, the Soviet Union, a member of the Allied Powers, also changed its previous position, and its original lukewarm attitude toward Japan was also greatly changed, and it began to take the initiative to join forces with the Japanese Army to jointly form a defensive line and formulate a common offensive and defensive code that would be truly beneficial to both sides. For the time being, the so-called return of occupied territories did not appear among the population of the Soviet Union, and there was a sign of sincere cooperation.

The main force of the Indian Allied forces also began to launch a more fierce offensive against the Chinese defenders of western Burma occupied by China, in an attempt to aid Chiang Mai, which was surrounded by the Chinese army.

Japan's move vigorously mobilized the enthusiasm of the Allies for the war, and some troops that were originally passively defensive began to turn into an offensive state. This is not good news for China or Germany.

However, in the Middle East, there has also been a big change, Saudi Arabia formally agreed to join the Allied camp and began to launch initial military operations against Iraq, which has ambiguous relations with China. As the world's largest oil kingdom, Saudi Arabia's move has also greatly encouraged the members of the Allied Powers. The war in the Middle East has been ignited.

――――――――――

But no matter how much the world changes, it has nothing to do with one person. When he heard the radio telegram from the escort cruiser formation, the man surnamed Li was silent, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on Chunshan Ergou. There was boundless fear in his heart, he was very afraid, afraid that his own affairs would happen, and this was the Chinese Navy coming to settle accounts with him. But in the final analysis, it doesn't count the things that helped Japan smuggle things in the past, and this time he didn't know what he did to be sorry for China.

However, before, every time he saw Chunshan Ergou's excited expression, he had already guessed that the mysterious task of this trip had been completed, and that Chunshan Ergou could be so excited, I am afraid that in China, it is really not an ordinary bad thing. Therefore, he was afraid, frightened, afraid of being arrested and judged, for fear that he would be infamous as a traitor forever after death, and the most unwilling thing for him was that he took refuge in the Japanese, and although he had gotten a lot of money up to now, he had never enjoyed the life of a rich man until now. Because he wasn't in the mood to think about those things at all. Every time I returned home, I was afraid that the police would show up and take me away.

Just now he also heard the radio, and he also knew that the Chinese attack fleet was attacked, and when he heard the location of the Chinese fleet, he understood a lot. But it was precisely because he thought a lot that when facing the call of the Chinese escort formation at this moment, he felt that his feet were almost out of order. The boundless chill occupied his body and mind. Fear left his mind blank. Naturally, he looked at Chunshan Ergou, hoping that he would point out a bright light to himself.

What he wanted to hear most at the moment was, don't go. Get out of here. He really couldn't find a shred of courage. Singlely boarded a Chinese warship.

"Remember what we had planned. Li Sang, don't worry, go up boldly. As long as you act calm enough, nothing happens. Suppressing the anger in his heart after hearing the attack on the United Fleet, and seeing the man surnamed Li with a pale face and trembling legs, Chunshan Ergou was very disdainful in his heart: garbage is garbage, and no matter how you support it, it is garbage. I knew it was time to settle them all.

Chunshan Ergou knew very well that there must be someone to face the Chinese Navy, and this person could not be himself, because he would not personally take risks. It can't be that Koizumi is stupid, because he is not a suitable person either. The most suitable is the real captain of this ship, who knows if the fake one will be recognized. It's not clear what is going on now, but if you expose yourself because of your own decision, it won't be the biggest joke.

It's no wonder that Chunshan Ergou has such thoughts, anyone who sees the appearance of a man surnamed Li at this moment understands that in his state, facing the soldiers is simply not self-defeating. But Chunshan Ergou had no choice, did he want to escape by boat, let alone this broken ship, even if it was an intact Japanese destroyer, he didn't dare to do it. The speed of the Chinese destroyer will soon catch up, and there will really be no way to die when the time comes.

Chunshan Ergou thought about it, but he still had to go up by a man surnamed Li. Once exposed, the method of jade crushing will be adopted.

"But, but Your Excellency Chunshan, I, I'm going up alone, what if I'm and I can't come back." At this moment, the man's voice surnamed Li was trembling, and he began to stutter, and he spoke intermittently.

"Smack." Chunshan Ergou patted him on the shoulder, resisted the urge to slap him a few ear scrapers, and pretended to be kind and said: "Li Sang, don't worry, our affairs will definitely not be discovered, you don't need to worry at all, as long as you can calm down, you can come back safely." Besides, we don't know what they're asking you to do or what to worry about. ”

"But..." opened his mouth, and when a word just popped out, the next words were interrupted by Chunshan Ergou before the man surnamed Li could say it.

"If you can't calm down, I'm here to help you." Haruyama Ergou has lost the patience to continue listening to his nonsense, if the man in front of him still shows a look of fear, then he will not hesitate to solve him here. Because going up to the Chinese warships with fear will definitely expose them to the eyes of the Chinese Navy, so he would rather deal with him.

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Looking at Chunshan Ergou's dangerous eyes, the chill in the heart of the man surnamed Li increased a lot. Where does he dare to ask the other party to help, when the time comes, the gang will not know if they will be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Chunshan Ergou didn't speak again, and in the captain's room, the man surnamed Wang, who was originally a little scared, heard Chunshan Ergou's words, and he was also physically and mentally for a while, trying to calm himself down.

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, the face of the man surnamed Li was not so pale, and the fear in his expression had subsided a lot.

"That's pretty much it, you have to remember that a calm face and a calm answer at all times is the best guarantee for your survival, and I don't want you to really go to the sea to feed the fish." Chunshan Ergou did not forget to remind him.

"I see, thank you Your Excellency Haruyama." The man surnamed Li spoke. At this time, he has recovered a lot.

"Go ahead! I'm waiting for you to come back safely. ”

When the man surnamed Li appeared on the deck of the freighter, a dinghy was already waiting for him, climbed down the rope ladder, and pulled his dinghy through the waves quickly towards a new provincial cruiser ahead.

When the man surnamed Li went down to the dinghy, Chunshan Ergou suddenly thought at this time that if the other party went up, he would confess himself. So what to do. Moreover, the guy surnamed Li also knows one or two other Chinese traitors who are working for Japan, and once the man surnamed Li is asked to confess to them, then China is very likely to be a big piece of China, and the top-secret intelligence network developed by the Japanese Mei organ in China is very likely to be eliminated by China in one fell swoop.

But now the man surnamed Li has boarded the dinghy, which is still a dinghy that has come down from a warship, and the pilot of the dinghy is a Chinese Navy soldier. Chunshan Ergou has no way to call the other party back.

However, Harayama Ergou is only a little worried. In his mind, there are three kinds of people in the world that are best controlled. One is greedy for money. One is greedy for beauty. One is the fear of death.

And the man surnamed Li accounted for two of them, and Chunshan Ergou saw early on that fear of death was his true essence, and greed for money was just his greed. He believes. There is a ninety percent chance. The man surnamed Li definitely didn't dare to shake things out. Because he was afraid of death, shaking out, no matter what, it was a dead end.

When the huge warship is getting closer. The man's heart surnamed Li was also about to be raised to his throat, although he had tried to calm himself down before, but at this time, tension and fear once again breeded, occupying his body and mind.

Some trembled to climb the rope ladder of the cruiser, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, some of the trembling steps were due to the icy sea water and howling sea breeze, but his own family knew his own business, and he saw the huge main guns and various weapon systems on the ship. What scared him the most was the assault rifles on the ship's naval soldiers.

Led by the soldiers, he came to the bridge built by the cruiser, and at the gate of the command headquarters, a Chinese Wehrmacht Navy colonel was already waiting for him.

"You're the captain of the freighter in the rear?" Xu Wei's face was expressionless, and his voice did not contain any emotion.

He was the supreme commander of this escort group, and since he received a telegram from the Ministry of National Defense, he has been thinking about how to test the other side. If you wronged a good person in an investigation on the surface, this is a bit bad. Therefore, he chose to be tempted, and asked the other party's captain to come to his base camp to see what the other party had to say.

It's not far from the Mariana Islands, and the really suspicious ship is the old freighter that joined the fleet halfway, which is exactly what the Ministry of Defense has sent from it.

As a member of the Chinese Navy, he was well aware of the state of the attack fleet at this time, and like all Wehrmacht soldiers, he was full of resentment towards little Japan. When he knew that there was a high probability that the scum of the empire would be involved, he was even more furious. vowed to seek justice for his comrades-in-arms.

"The surname of the contemptuous person is Li, and I have seen the chief, and the contemptible person is the captain of the freighter behind." The man surnamed Li was still a little scared, and he had some stuttering as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Are you cold?" Looking at the man surnamed Li whose legs were a little trembling, Xu Wei frowned and said loudly.

"No, it's not cold, it's just an old problem." The man surnamed Li hurriedly said, because he was still wearing a thick cotton coat at the moment, and it was a little unreasonable to say that he was cold.

"What's wrong with making you shiver like this?" Xu Wei didn't intend to stop the topic at all, his eyes were fixed on the other party.

"Yes, it's a little problem, it's not in the way, it'll be fine in a while." The man surnamed Li forcibly endured the fear in his heart, did not dare to look at the other party, turned his eyes in other directions, and said loudly.

"Well, do you know what I'm looking for you right now?" Looking at the flickering of the other party's words, his eyes were rolling wildly, Xu Wei secretly said in his heart: Is it really this person?

"I don't know what the chief is calling the contemptible people to do?" The man surnamed Li hurriedly asked, and at the same time kept praying in his heart, don't ask where to go.

"I wonder why you have been hanging from the back of the flotilla and not entering our encirclement, don't you know? The sea is full of submarines, and if you don't enter our protective circle, do you want to be the target of submarine attacks? While speaking, Xu Wei focused his attention on the other party's face, and when he saw that the other party's expression gradually showed joy with his words, Xu Wei could already come to a result, the other party had a ghost in his heart, and it was not a little ghost.

"I'm sorry sir, but the speed of our ship is already so much, because of the aging of the power system, it is not easy to insist on sailing on the sea, and we are also trying our best to follow behind your fleet, and we are also very afraid that we will fall behind." The man surnamed Li spoke. At the moment, he felt a lot more at ease.

However, his voice just fell. Xu Wei did not speak, but took out his pistol, "clicked" to open the safe, and two sailors armed with assault rifles flashed behind him. None of the three pointed their guns at the man surnamed Li, but all three pairs of eyes were staring at the eyes of the man surnamed Li.

In particular, Xu Wei's cold eyes surged with a killing intent to look at the dead, which made the man surnamed Li shudder when he looked at it. It was a pair of eyes that had been exercised from the battlefield, with a cold killing intent. The man surnamed Li didn't know what was going on, and a chill appeared in his heart: why did such a mutation occur in the form that had already been transformed, and why did there be such a big reaction to the release. And take out all the guns. Could it be that this old life is going to end here? I knew it early. Don't be so greedy at the beginning, the well-off life is already very good, why do you want to pursue any aristocratic life, it is really a money obsession.

At this time, there were countless regrets in his heart. But regretted it later. There is no chance of recovery. But. Despite the fear in his heart and the trembling of his legs, he tried to make himself appear calm.

It's just that he doesn't know. His twinkling eyes had betrayed him deeply. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and everything has been exposed in his eyes.

"Sir, what the hell is going on here, this, this?" After staring at it for a while, the man surnamed Li couldn't stand the current atmosphere anymore, and hurriedly spoke.

"Oh, it's okay, you can leave." Turn off the insurance, put away the rifle, and signaled that the guards behind him could leave, Xu Wei said: "After I go back, I will send sappers to repair the freighter, how can you keep up with us at such a speed." When the time comes, we will not be able to wait for you on the sea. ”

"No, no, our workers are already repairing, the problem has been found, I'm afraid it's almost good now, so there is no need to trouble you, sir. So, sir, can I go? "Xu Wei doesn't want to stay here anymore. Especially when he heard that he was going to send personnel to the ship, his body couldn't help but twitch.

"Since you say that, I don't want to impose anything on you. However, I will only give you two hours, and if your ship is not repaired within two hours, then I will send someone up at once. Please. Facing the stairs next to him, Xu Wei signaled that he could go back.

The latter didn't even say goodbye, and hurriedly walked down the stairs, not knowing whether it was trembling for a long time or because he was too afraid, he almost rolled down the stairs and walked on the deck of the cruiser, his body still a little staggering.

Looking at the man surnamed Li who left by boat, Xu Wei smiled slightly, and glanced at the position where the man surnamed Li was standing just now. With a hint of murderous intent on his face, he turned around and entered the command room of the cruiser formation. On the iron plate of the staircase behind him, there were water stains flowing on the iron plate under the blowing of the sea breeze.

"Send a telegram to the Ministry of Defense, the other party does have a problem, please tell me what to do next?"

There was a sound of ticking, and Xu Wei soon received an order from the Ministry of National Defense, and the order was only four short words: continuous surveillance.

And on the freighter in the rear, when the man surnamed Li returned to the captain's room, his whole body sat directly on the ground, panting heavily. The trip just now, for him, was no less than a trip to the sword mountain and the sea of fire. It's too torturous, especially Xu Wei's eyes, which make him feel cold all over his body, not the cold outside, but the cold inside.

"What's the matter?" Chunshan Ergou, who was originally a little relieved to see the man surnamed Li coming back, saw the guy who was sitting on the ground panting, frowned, and said.

"Yes, I asked why we didn't keep up with the fleet, and I followed the ......." After struggling to get up from the cold deck, and after taking a few breaths, the man surnamed Li opened his mouth to tell what had just happened. For some reason, he didn't tell the details of Xu Wei taking out his weapon. Maybe it was because of fear that he forgot to say it, or maybe he didn't want to expose too much of his cowardly side in front of Haruyama Ergou.

"So they didn't do anything to you?" After listening to the words of the man surnamed Li, Chunshan Ergou once again relieved his heart. There was nothing at all, maybe I was just suspicious, or maybe I was overly nervous.

However, in the gut of an intelligence officer, he had to let Haruyama Ergou start to make some preparations. (To be continued......)
