Chapter 468 - Stop the ship for inspection
On the surface, the scenery is infinite, but in fact, Japan has reached a kind of limit. It is not difficult to see from the fact that more than 6 million troops control more than 4 million puppet troops, and Japan is beginning to be somewhat unable to support the major battlefields.
Domestic military resources are one aspect, and industry is also one aspect. Otherwise, Japan would not need to buy a large number of rifles and ammunition from China, because there is simply no way for Japan to produce so many rifles and ammunition in a short period of time.
Although the war that lasted for three years could be fed by war, the loss of troops by the Japanese military also reached a considerable figure. In the vast occupation area, every time it occupied, the Japanese army had to pay casualties, which accumulated a lot, and slowly accumulated, and the Japanese army began to show fatigue.
Especially in Australia and the Far East, a large number of Japanese soldiers die in crossfire every day. Both the American and Soviet armies were generally better equipped than the Japanese, and when they became accustomed to Japan's usual tactical tactics, the Japanese side was seriously at a disadvantage in the last few encounters.
Coupled with the giant dragon entrenched around him, the dragon's claws show out from time to time. Therefore, the Japanese top management has sensed that changes must be made. Chen Shao's words were just a fuse, and even Chen Shao didn't understand these ideas of the Japanese side.
Moreover, Japan's behavior of being a soldier is exactly what makes them smart. China's spearhead is clearly aimed at Japan, so Japan needs to quickly look for new opportunities. Some people are waiting for opportunities, while others are trying their best to create opportunities, and Japan falls into the second category.
As long as they join the allies, they can not only fight against the old enemy China. It is also possible to keep those occupied areas for the time being. As long as the war does not end, these places will be in Japan's hands, and a steady stream of materials will flow into Japan, deepening Japan's war potential. The occupied areas can not only bring troops, but also steel, oil, and with these and the support of the Allies, Japan will not be unconfident after facing China.
To put it bluntly, Japan understands that sooner or later China will retaliate against Japan, and Japan is also eager to see through China's land. Especially for the three northeastern provinces that have been industrialized. It's even more salivating.
Shinji Abe nodded. From Yongren's words, the doubts in his heart were dispelled. Then there was an angry look on his face, and he said sharply:
"It's not bad to be able to do something to China, inside the army. There is already extreme anger at China's often hegemonic and bullying behavior. They act again and again. Hit the Imperial Japanese Army in the face again and again. We have to use our own hands to tell the Chinese that our Great Japanese Empire is definitely not a character that can be bullied. ”
The actions he spoke of again and again were nothing more than China's establishment of a border buffer zone in Southeast Asia. and the recall of the Chinese. The Chinese soldiers swaggered and took away the Chinese and those who had relations with the Chinese from their eyes, and also took away their valuable things with them.
How can this make those Japanese soldiers feel refreshed, not to mention anything else, just in Singapore, how many Chinese chambers of commerce and those wealthy businessmen swaggered onto the Chinese passenger ship with all their property and slipped away from the eyes of those Japanese soldiers.
In Southeast Asia, everyone knows that the Chinese chambers of commerce are the richest, accounting for at least one-third of the wealth in Southeast Asia, but the Japanese can only watch this wealth flow through their eyes.
In later generations, these Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen were all hung up by the Japanese, making Japan make a lot of money. In this time and space, the situation is completely opposite, and the rising China has made Japan helpless against these Chinese businessmen.
"Abe-kun, you are a top student who has returned from studying in Germany in the Empire, a rising star in the future of the Army, and the Empire will rely on you in the future. However, we must not be careless about China at any time. And on this trip, I always have a strange feeling, and I also have a lingering sense of crisis in my heart. Yongren was very satisfied with Shinji Abe's words, but in his heart, there was a very awkward feeling, as if something had been ignored by him.
"Your Excellency, is it a delusion caused by poor sleep in the past two days?" Shinji Abe didn't feel anything abnormal, but simply thought that Yongren had the illusion of staying in the cabin for a long time after two consecutive days of turbulence at sea.
"I can't say it, maybe I'm worrying about it, but this is not far from the Chinese sea, and we need to be very careful." Yong Ren shook his head, he didn't know what the feeling that suddenly appeared now meant.
"I suggest that His Royal Highness rest more, or ......."
Just as Shinji Abe was halfway through his words, a Japanese special forces soldier wearing an ordinary sailor suit ran in.
"Report, a Chinese destroyer suddenly came to the sea and asked to inspect our freighter."
When Shinji Abe saw the figure of this special combat team member disguised as a crew member, he also felt a sense of crisis in his heart. When he listened to the report, he hurriedly said: "What's the matter, why are there Chinese destroyers here." ”
At this time, not only Shinji Abe, but even Yongren also showed a worried look on his face. If they encounter a patrol boat, then there is still a lot of strength, but once they encounter a warship, then the special operations squadron alone is definitely a food delivery. The destroyer is perfectly capable of sinking the Strongman quickly.
"Go up at once, and close all the passages leading here. Let them board the ship for inspection, absolutely not panic, and if something happens, send a code signal immediately. Yongren tried to calm himself down and ordered the team member who ran in to report.
"Hey!"
"This matter is very bad, this is not Chinese waters, how can there be Chinese destroyers." Seeing the members of the special combat team who were far away, and also hearing the sound of doors closing and locking in the distance, Yongren said suspiciously.
"Prince, did you say that the news leaked, I always feel that this incident is definitely not a coincidence." Shinji Abe is also a little confused, he is well aware of the importance of this mission, and there must be no accidents.
"I'm most worried about this now, if it's a coincidence, it's fine, if it's a rush, it's over." With endless worries in his heart, Yongren also understood the value of these goods on the Mighty Pill. To put it mildly, the value of these goods is worth Japan's total income for the next few years. It means too much to Japan. Yongren couldn't help but ask:
"I remember that those insiders were all the hands of your special combat team, think about it carefully, is there any possibility of leaving a living mouth."
Shinji Abe thought for a moment and said with certainty: "No, all the people who know about this matter, except for a limited number of people in the base camp, are only these people on our ship, as for the others, they have all been killed, and even the corpses have been destroyed." ”
"That's strange, we haven't used the radio on the way, is it really a coincidence?" Yongren muttered, then his face returned to a normal look, and said in a serious voice: "Don't worry about these now, if the other party checks at will and leaves, then it proves that there is no problem." But if the other party is entangled, it means that we are indeed exposed. If you let your special operations team members occupy the opposing destroyer by surprise, is it sure? ”
The last question made Shinji Abe stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied: "Your Excellency, if the other party is a Chinese-made destroyer and performs a patrol mission, there will be at least 200 people on board. If the other side is the China Coast Guard, then the humble duty is confident that the destroyer of the other side will be quickly occupied.
It's just that the two ships have to be close together, otherwise we can't get there. At the same time, we also have to face a problem, once the other side reports the situation here, and the situation here is known to the Chinese military, then we really can't go back. In this sea area, there is no existence of our navy, and relying on the speed of the pill, it is difficult for us to escape the pursuit of the Chinese navy. ”
"Let's take a look first, I hope it's just that we're too careful." From his words, Yongren somewhat understood the difficulties involved, as Shinji Abe said, when the time came, they would not only face the Chinese Navy, but also land-based reconnaissance aircraft. It was a matter of the overall situation, and Yongren did not dare to make a rash decision.
And on the sea, on the turbulent sea, the lights on the pills were also lit up, and on their left, a Chinese-level destroyer, slowly approached them. On the deck of the destroyer, a squad of Chinese soldiers was already waiting in full armor.
The two ships gradually leaned together, and the sailors on the destroyer held them together with ropes. The Chinese soldiers, who were already ready, armed with submachine guns, quickly boarded the Hercule. At this time, on the Dali Maru, more than a dozen Japanese special combat team members pretended to be crew members staying at their respective posts.
One of them, a man who looked like a captain, greeted the Chinese soldiers who boarded the ship with a humble face, and said to the Chinese officer who led the team in Mandarin while taking out a cigarette:
"We are in the cargo hold of Japan, and we are pulling the cargo to prepare to return to Japan, may I ask..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a Chinese soldier who led the team pulled away the cigarette in his hand and interrupted him: "Why don't you turn on the pointing lights when you sail at night, and you don't even turn on the signal lights. ”
"There was a little problem with our circuit before, and it was already being repaired, but you see, it was just repaired." The "captain" immediately replied fluently, pretending to be helpless, and put away the cigarette in his hand.
"Humph! It's such a coincidence. The Chinese officers and soldiers leading the team were obviously a little disbelieving, looked at the goods around them, and ordered the soldiers behind them: "Search for me." ”
"Wait." The "captain" stretched out his hand, pulled the Chinese officer aside, took out a yellow croaker from his pocket, and whispered: "This is tea money for all Chinese friends, not a respect, please laugh and accept it." ”
The Chinese officer took the little yellow croaker and tossed it in the dark, with a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
