After changing our slippers in the hallway, we came to a living room. Hugo was chatting with a middle-aged couple, all in Chinese, and it seemed that the couple was the owner of the place.

When we came in, Hugo and the couple stood up. Hugo introduced us to Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who have been in Japan for more than ten years.

I shook hands with Mr. Chen, who looked to be in his forties, unassuming, with round black-rimmed glasses and meticulously combed hair. The appearance is no different from an ordinary Japanese uncle, but the strength in his hands is not small.

When Mrs. Chen saw An Beimo, she immediately stepped forward enthusiastically to hold her hand, praising her for her beauty, and her eager eyes were like looking at her daughter.

An Beimo showed a gentle smile and said hello very politely.

Took us to our respective rooms, and Mr. and Mrs. Chen went back to their rooms to rest.

After putting away my luggage, I went to the living room to meet Hugo and ask him about his next steps.

Hugo looked at his watch and said that the Seven Stars would not arrive until about one o'clock in the afternoon. When everyone is ready, we will make the next step. And since he had come with Burton this time, and he had been here for a while, Hugo wanted to hear Burton's opinion.

At noon, Mrs. Chen cooked us a Japanese meal, and I looked at the more than a dozen bowls of different sizes on the table, and thought to myself, wouldn't it be necessary to start preparing such a meal with more than ten dishes.

It turns out that in Japan, people don't eat sashimi every day, and the famous "Kanto cuisine" is on the table, and the fried tempura and the four rice are famous.

Each of us had a miso soup and rice in front of us, and Mr. Chen enthusiastically poured Japanese shochu for us.

During the banquet, everyone talked about some gossip, which was nothing more than some changes in the country and popular topics such as economic development. And most of the time, Hugo was talking to Mr. Chen, and a few of us were eating with our heads bored. It was the first time I tasted pure Japanese rice, and I felt that it was still delicious.

At one o'clock, Seven Stars and Burton arrived, and we all gathered in Hugo's room to discuss our next steps.

Hugo first explained to us the origin of the Chen couple, who are ordinary families in Japan and have nothing to do with us. We were able to stay here for the time being, purely for the sake of help. Therefore, in our later actions, we must do a good job of concealment and not cause unnecessary trouble to the couple.

I thought it wasn't that simple for the couple, but I didn't ask.

Hugo asks Burton for his opinion and asks where he wants to start investigating.

Burton thought for a while before saying: "I want to investigate the Nippon Heavy Industries from the side, although the line of Fukuda Zuo is broken, but their behavior has fully proved that this company is problematic." If I could, I'd like to dive inside their business and investigate. ”

I asked Burton, "What is the name of this business you want to investigate?" ”

Burton replied, "It's Mitsubishi Heavy I."

dust

IES, you should have heard of it, right? ”

I was about to say that I hadn't heard it, but Hugo, An Beimo, and Qixing showed surprised expressions at the same time, it seems that they know the company that Burton said.

I was an English idiot, so I looked at Shen Hao, and he was also looking at me blankly. I thought to myself, it's okay now, English idiots make a couple. Suddenly, I felt a lot more balanced.

"Is this business he said famous?" I couldn't help but ask my teammates.

Qixing looked at me in surprise, but she immediately thought that Shen Hao and I couldn't speak English, so she explained to us: "It's the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries we are familiar with!" ”

Shen Hao and I suddenly showed the same surprised expressions as Hugo and the others just now, and I wondered, "How can this be?" Mitsubishi Heavy Industries? Isn't it just an air conditioner? ”

Hugo gave us a brief explanation of the history of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is Japan's largest military manufacturer. The equipment they produce, such as F-2 and F-15J fighters, as well as Type 90 tanks, play a central role in both the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and the Ground Self-Defense Force.

In the Maritime Self-Defense Force, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has built almost half of its submarines and one-third of its destroyers, which shows its status in Japan's military industry.

In 2003, the Self-Defense Agency received 280 billion yen in military orders, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries became the largest military company.

The empty withering I just mentioned, including other well-known automobiles, electrical motors, chemicals, etc., are all corresponding industries of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. But compared to his military production capacity, those are only the tip of the iceberg.

Only then did I realize that as far as I knew, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was purely a peep in the pipe, and its industrial strength was far beyond my imagination.

I didn't think Burton would want to investigate such a company, and I began to wonder if Burton had mistaken information. No wonder Burton's superiors also opposed his suggestion, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' status and strength are recognized by the world, and it is somewhat self-inflicted to investigate it.

Seeing that we were all looking different, Burton asked rhetorically, "Do you also doubt my judgment?" Don't you believe that they produce weapons of mass destruction? ”

I said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but even if they do have the kind of weapon you say, we think it's normal." Because they have every strength to produce such weapons. ”

An Beimo said: "The weapons of mass destruction mentioned by Burton refer to the three types of weapons in the current international situation, collectively referred to as NBC. That is nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. I don't know which one Burton are referring to? An Beimo asked Burton in the last sentence.

Burton shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "This is exactly what I want to find out!" ”

It looks like things are getting more complicated.

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "So be it! Doctor, beast, you two and Mr. Burton will go and investigate together. But don't reveal your identity. It's better to give up the task than let the other party catch the truth. This matter has too much impact, and I don't want to cause any public opinion against my country, understand? ”

Qixing and Shen Hao replied at the same time: "Understood! ”

Hugo said to me and An Beimo again: "You go to check Shen Mengzhe's whereabouts, start with his school first, and see if you can find anything." ”

I replied, "No problem!" ”

Hugo then said to all of us: "According to the current situation, this is no longer suitable as a point of contact. I'll have a new point of contact right away, and any useful information you get will be reported to me. I'll tell you the address later. Remember! You're just reporting to me. ”

Several of our D.R.T. members replied at the same time, "Yes!" ”

Then Hugo said to Burton: "Mr. Burton, I have no right to order you. However, given the special circumstances of the situation, I would like you to have any information to tell me so that we can work together to resolve the issue. ”

Burton thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, after all, our purpose is the same.

Hugo added: "Apart from me, Black Hawk is the second commander, and the doctor is the third. In actual action, the orders of the supreme commander in one's own group shall prevail, and others shall obey unconditionally. If there is no problem, everyone can prepare and act! ”

We looked at each other, saw that there was no problem, and left Hugo's room in turn.

I was at the end, and just as I was about to go out, Hugo suddenly stopped me behind me.

Nodding slightly to An Beimo, I turned around and went back, and closed the door by the way. Hugo must have left me alone because he had something important to say.

Sure enough, Hugo let me come close and whispered to me, "A special order for you!" If I suddenly lose contact, or disappear for no reason. There is only one thing you have to do, take the others back home immediately, without a little delay. Then go to this place to find Uncle Guo and tell him everything that happened to us here. ”

After speaking, Hugo wrote with his fingers in the palm of his hand, and I could clearly see the few numbers, which was the address of a domestic capital.

I was so surprised that I asked Hugo, "What do you mean by that?" Is there something wrong with you, and you let us escape? I can't promise you that. ”

Hugo was not at all surprised by my unhesitating disobedience to the order, he smiled indifferently and said, "I knew that as soon as I said this, you would immediately object." ”

I said, "You know I'm not going to agree, so why are you telling me?" ”

Hugo's face changed, and he said very solemnly: "Because only by doing this can you save everyone's lives." I'm not kidding, I'm not consulting with you, this is my order! And what I'm saying now is not an exaggeration, I'm afraid that the opponent we will face is far beyond your imagination! ”

Hearing Hugo say this, I was even more puzzled, and asked him: "The more you talk about me, the more confused I become, do you have something to hide from us?" ”

Hugo shook his head and said, "Not really! However, this is a precautionary measure that we must take when operating abroad. If one day you are in my place, you have to do the same. ”

He continued in an aggravated tone: "This is a necessary means for us to preserve our strength!" If something happens to me and you can get out safely, I have the best chance of survival. ”

I looked into Hugo's eyes and tried to capture some information from his eyes. Hugo looked at me calmly, his expression so flat that I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Hugo is very deep, and if he doesn't want me to know something, I really can't do anything about it.

But the more this happened, the more I worried about him. What I said just now, I always felt like he was explaining what was going on, which invisibly made me feel very uneasy.

But one thing Hugo is right, if it were me in his place, I would do the same.

Since it was an order, I could not refuse for any reason, even if I did not want to, but I firmly agreed to Hugo.

Seeing that I was overly nervous, Hugo smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's just a precaution, and it's not so easy to hit my idea." ”

After leaving Hugo's room, I had mixed feelings. Hugo was right when he told me, and it was okay to have an emergency plan in advance. But I just felt that Hugo already knew something, which is why he asked me like this.

An Beimo stood not far away and waited for me, seeing that I was still a little worried, so he was silent and did not interrupt my train of thought.

When I got closer, I found An Beimo at the door of my room. Seeing that I came back to my senses, An Beimo didn't ask anything, and said to me directly: "Let's go, let's go to National University of Tokyo." ”
