At the same time, No. 419 was crawling towards the sea off Ningbo at a slow speed of 7 knots, and the submarine quietly floated to the depth of the periscope, used the starlight to carry out a quick navigation, and quickly found the uninhabited island under the guidance of the construction of the navigation Changtao. The listening department took the opportunity to intercept several Japanese code telegrams, confirming that the Iwate and Izumo would leave Hangzhou Bay together tomorrow and sail towards the Huangpu River, two days earlier than the historical records that Chu Aiyun had consulted, and I don't know why.

Soon the listening room detected the 4 intervals per minute signal from the stranded drone, which was later shown to be still in place.

Cheng Dayang turned the periscope to adjust the magnification, and sure enough, he could see that the drone was there. He used bathymetric sonar to probe the seabed near the island, where the seabed terrain was so complex that he didn't dare to get too close, so he surfaced. Have the boat team sit in a small rubber boat to retrieve the drone. At the same time, a brief correspondence was made with the political commissar on the island, confirming that General Kagawa had gone to the island, and overheard some strange remarks about Shanghai's telegram at the Qinwuguan Palace, which may have been the reason for the enemy's early departure, but all the information was still insufficient to read the valuable parts of the place.

Later, he had another communication with the concession, and heard Lin Xiuxuan ask him to send a team to the Mahler shipyard to carry out the parts manufacturing idea, Cheng Dayang keenly sensed that this plan was too quick to achieve quick results and was quite adventurous. However, Lin Xiuxuan's subsequent progress report moved him slightly. Lin not only got diesel fuel and machines, but even 2 boats, this man seems to be born with luck, and he is simply invincible. But having said that, they have just done such a big thing outside the concession, and they want to take over a shipyard under the noses of the Japanese, and they want to let more than 10 technical backbones be stationed in a shipyard less than 150 meters away from the Japanese warship dock, which is obviously a bit presumptuous. However, the current decision-making mechanism of the three people, because the three of them are scattered all over the place, is already difficult to implement, and Lin has already made his own decisions, started the plan, and wants to stop it, but the money has been spent by him, and it seems that he can only let him do it.

Soon, Lin sent a list of the people he needed, including the electromechanical chief Shu Ping and his technical backbone, as well as several members of Lin's own team. Cheng Dayang knew that as long as Shu Ping and his men had an accident with two or three people, even if 419 was repaired, it would be difficult to exert its full power.

At this moment, the surface team was quickly approaching the drone, fixed it with a cable, and smoothly towed it back to the submarine. With great difficulty, the broken aircraft was retracted into the submarine through the weapons loading port at the front of the submarine. During the whole process, the radar detected that the nearest enemy ship was 25 kilometers away and was slow to pose a threat.

The drone was recovered, and in order to implement Lin Xiuxuan's whimsical plan to seize the gold, the first problem left behind was finally solved, but Cheng Dayang didn't know how much rot there was behind Lin waiting for him to solve. He asked Shu Ping if he was willing to enter the concession, Shu Ping agreed, he felt that since everything was ready-made, from the perspective of the task, Lin's plan was quite reasonable, but he asked to send various lathes, material parameters, and photos in advance, so that he could study it, and then plan and prepare for the production of the required parts.

That night, the political commissar and Lu Qingshan were on the island, munching on bread and beef, and continued to reconnoiter the Japanese warships that were shining with lights in the distance. Lu Qingshan had been pondering the conversations he had heard during the day, but he couldn't analyze any of them.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiuxuan and Ma Qiang set off and rushed to Hongkou again. This time, they crossed the Suzhou Creek from the Zhapu Road Bridge, and found that the Japanese army's inventory was stricter than yesterday's, the luggage was checked very carefully, the vegetable baskets picked by the peasants were also stabbed a few times with bayonets, and occasionally a few people from the bridge were taken out to search their bodies.

Lin walked in front of the Japanese soldiers, took off his hat and bowed respectfully, the Japanese seemed to see him decent, and did not search his body, but Ma Qiang was still stopped by the Japanese soldiers, and immediately a few plainclothes came over and searched up and down, of course, Ma Qiang did not have anything suspicious on his body (did not bring a gun), and was finally released. Lin stood outside a street, peeked for a while, and found that the Japanese army did not seem to search at will, but specifically selected tall and stout, and even checked the soles of shoes.

From the clues of leaving a chest of gold and 2 empty chests discarded, experienced guys can indeed judge a lot of fame. But this is all in Lin's calculations.

First of all, the group that took away the gold in the end will not have a large number of people, at most 3 people, which is the most direct reason for the fact that a box of gold was not taken away at the scene. Secondly, judging from the depth of Ma Qiang's footprints, the number of 3 people can be further narrowed down to 2 people. Ma Qiang's weight obviously exceeds his own, so it can be judged that he is carrying 2 boxes of gold, as long as the enemy is not too stupid, this can also be confirmed, so in the end, they will get the conclusion that one of them is as strong as an ox, but relying on these clues alone, it is impossible to further narrow the scope of suspicion. Therefore, Lin judged that no matter how cunning the enemy was, he was still far from the truth.

Because he had prepared in advance, there were no fingerprints left at the scene, plus the road was tortuous, and there was also the wading part, and there would be no progress in the chase of the military dog. As soon as the task was completed the day before yesterday, Lin and Ma Qiang both changed their shoes, so it was in vain to try to find themselves by checking the sole lines.

The two went to the shipyard again together, and they were received by Manager Zhang. This time, they were no longer just looking at the flowers, but carefully inspected every workshop, including those that had long been discontinued, as long as the balance was paid, these belonged to Lin. Lin Xiuxuan and Ma Qiang took turns taking pictures with the miniature cameras, and when they took pictures, another person supported the opening manager. Manager Zhang's vigilance is not high, and his eyes are poor, so it is impossible to detect these techniques. But what made Lin Xiuxuan strange was that the little brother Ma he saw yesterday didn't show up, and he really wanted to discuss some ideas with the little brother Ma.

In the end, Lin Xiuxuan simply persuaded the surnamed Zhang not to follow the introduction, but to be busy with his own affairs. In fact, as a boss, he doesn't have to shy away from his subordinates when he takes a few photos, but the miniature camera in his hand is too ahead of his time to be fiddled with in front of people.

Manager Zhang retired with interest, and in the huge processing workshop, only Lin Xiuxuan and Ma Qiang were left.

Ma Qiang walked in front to check if anyone was nearby, and Lin walked and photographed in the back, taking pictures of the milling machines, planers, and punches of his grandfathers that he had never seen before, from all angles, he felt that his idea was right, although the electromechanical chief Shu Ping was called a "mechanical genius", but he might not be able to play with these things on the island. Technically, these old milling machines require water-cooled grinding heads, and it is very difficult to get fresh water on the island, and the 419 used to have a strong ability to produce fresh water, but with the shutdown of the reactor, it is now difficult to even maintain drinking water for personnel.

He only heard Ma Qiang coughing in front of him, so he quickly put away his camera and pretended to touch around, and after a while, Ma Xiaodi and Ma Qiang came over together, and he finally showed up, this time without a large number of workers, and listened to what he said.

"Mr. Lin, it's really early today."

"It's a little early, Lin came today, in fact, to come and see the machine."

"I have a friend who wants to meet Mr., can you give him this face?"

Brother Ma went straight to the point and made a request.

Of course, Lin can estimate that he has bought a factory that is about to be confiscated by the Japanese army and its assets will be reduced to zero, and it may alarm some people. According to historical records, at this time, the underground party was preparing to destroy the main equipment to prevent the Japanese from receiving it smoothly, and their own troubles could be regarded as adding variables to their plans.

Brother Ma must have reported this strange incident to his superiors yesterday, so the underground party decided to take the initiative to contact himself and touch his bottom, which makes sense; However, he also felt that if Brother Ma's superiors really wanted to meet him, the timing was a little too early and he seemed impatient. As an intelligence officer, Lin certainly knows the principles passed down from his predecessors. As a general rule, they should first observe themselves in secret; The time for active contact is far from coming. Of course, the principle is that the dead are alive, and there are many precedents in the intelligence community for special affairs. He thought, is there something important that he must see?

"This old friend of yours is also a workers' representative?"

"No, he is the same as Mr. Lin, he is also a businessman, surnamed Hu, I really want to make friends with Mr. Lin, he has arrived now, out of the factory door across the street from the Wantong Hotel on the ground floor of the tea house, in the morning there are few people and very quiet, Mr. Lin can be found when he goes in."

"Oh?"

Lin sighed, he didn't seem to want to go, but of course he didn't want to go, he just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, and try to avoid any complicated things, especially although these underground parties are their own people, but they still have to hide their identities in person, this kind of drama is really not easy to play.

But the reality is that he will probably need the cooperation of the workers here on some things, so he will have to meet him once.

"Mr. Lin, my words have been brought, Mr. Hu's meaning, if you can meet, it will definitely not be harmful to Mr. Lin."

Brother Ma dropped his words and turned to leave.

Ma Qiang saw that he was far away, and hurriedly asked: "Team leader, should we go?" ”

Lin Chou frowned, and after a while he made up his mind: "Go, of course go." ”
