"This ......" Chu Aiyun felt like he had been hit hard, but fortunately he had an advantage, the more urgent the situation, the more anxious he was. He immediately realized that he couldn't turn back no matter what, and he had to bite the boys' school to the death. He didn't believe that this Dai Li's memory was really outstanding.

"Director Dai really has a good memory, Huairen did have a foreign church in the late Qing Dynasty, but he has recruited boys since the 18th year of the Republic of China."

"Oh, I see."

Sure enough, Dai Li was frightened by him and looked a little confused. As for whether he will show up in the future, Chu Aiyun can't care about it, he has thought about it, if Dai Li investigates his background, the worst case is to find out that he has falsely reported his academic qualifications, so as not to arouse other suspicions.

"Presumably, these days, Brother Chu will still make headlines in foreign newspapers, which is really showing off my country's prestige."

"Wherever and where, the first credit belongs to Captain Ouyang Shou. The idea of grabbing the plane was his one. ”

"Brother Chu doesn't have to be too humble, Captain Ouyang is doing his duty as a soldier, and you are a model for the people. Now that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has entered the most difficult moment, you also know that there has been no major victory on the battlefield this year, Changsha is still stalemate, and the Yunnan-Burma highway behind you is also stormy and will be cut off by the Japanese at any time. The urgency of the situation is almost suffocating. This kind of good news is needed to boost the morale of the people. ”

"I ......"

"I know that you have joined the Loyal Salvation Army, but most of the local loyal rescuers in Pudong are rabble, and there is no official establishment. From now on, you will be in the rear, just as anti-Japanese. ”

"But ......"

"But what? Your picture is in the newspaper and you still want to go back? Brother, the first time you are in danger, you can get out of it with your whole body, but the second time you fall into it, it is unwise. ”

"But I still want to serve the country and kill a few more devils on the front line."

Chu Aiyun hurriedly found a reason, of course, the original intention was to come out of the way and go back, but what Dai Li said was not wrong, he was photographed by reporters yesterday, and it was obviously unlucky to pass through the enemy-occupied area.

"That's easy to do, when you get to Chongqing, you mention it to the chairman. If you want to go to that unit, you can go wherever you want. The Air Force can do the same......"

The two of them walked to the side of the plane, and in the distance a mechanized unit was gathering, a dozen Soviet-made T26 tanks were parked on the side of the road, and trucks were driving south one after another.

"That is the most elite unit of the party-state, and Kunlun Pass is famous. At the moment, he is recruiting troops in Yunnan and may have to go to Burma. College students in the army are at least the rank of second lieutenant, and if you go, it will naturally be even different. You can go to the staff department on an errand, and it is safer. ”

Chu Aiyun bowed his head and was silent, he couldn't think of a way to quickly cross half of China and return to Shanghai for a while, but joining the national army was obviously not what he wanted.

"Don't talk about that, it's not too early, let's get on the plane."

Dai Li urged Chu Aiyun to get on the plane, and the deputy captain realized that Dai Li's personal luggage was really a lot, and it was only now loaded, he knew that the military commander had just returned from Burma, and he didn't know why he brought so many things, it couldn't be smuggling, right? He followed him blankly into the plane and flew into a new unknown.

Chu Aiyun had no choice but to fly to Chongqing, No. 419 continued to wait in Hangzhou Bay, Cheng Dayang did not listen to Lin Xiuxuan's advice to investigate Kasugamaru, and continued to wait here for Chu Aiyun's whereabouts. In fact, if he excludes the idea of luck, it should be easy to think clearly, Chu Aiyun went to Yunnan, where is it so easy to come back. In this way, 419 waited in vain for 10 days without doing anything, and the only gain during this period was to rely on technical superiority to collect all aspects of communication. Judging from the information collated, the Konoe cabinet was in danger, and the Flying Tigers appeared in Yunnan in advance for some reason, and this incident also dealt a heavy blow to Konoe. The chief writers of the Japanese newspapers, one by one, shouted that they would counter the United States, apparently regarding the dispatch of volunteers by the United States as a serious provocation. The editors-in-chief also criticized the indecisive and inconsistent behavior of the Konoe regime. All kinds of words add fuel to the fire, describing the United States as a country that has traditionally bullied the weak and feared the hard, and has never really won a tough foreign war since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Chu Aiyun flew to Chongqing, just in time for Lao Jiang and his wife to go to Meimiao to visit Vivier. So he met with Chen Cheng, who was in charge of youth training and military recruitment. It was the last time he was seen in various news and then he was gone.

At the entrance of Hitachi Heavy Industries' Sakurajima shipyard in Kagoshima, Yoshiaki Kagesa walks in civilian clothes with a few newspapers and a document bag under his arm. From afar, you can watch the sparks fly in the workshop, and workers are working on a circular pressurized chamber according to Makino's drawings. This project is not difficult, as only 20 atmospheres of pressure is required to be maintained, and there are no special requirements for materials and processes.

Sometimes, Kagesa really admires Makino a little, he does come back with real talent and real learning, relatively speaking, the other two are much more useless. Asano, in particular, spouts every day, shouting that it doesn't matter if there is a war, and with him, it is completely possible to win the war. But no matter how you look at it, it's a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it.

A few days ago, Onishi called from the Combined Fleet and proposed to separate the three men in order to avoid being killed all at once. At the same time, he suggested that Asano be given to the navy and protected by the Combined Fleet, and it was clear that Onishi valued Asano and considered him more valuable to the navy. Makino's idea of racing against time to avoid war did not infect Onishi.

Kagesa went to the manager's office and carefully closed the door. Then light a cigarette and take a cursory look at today's newspaper.

The headline is that Sorge, an important spy, was arrested in Tokyo with his Japanese mistress, and Ryoji Shikata made a great contribution and personally led people to storm his apartment and search for the codebook and radio station. It is conceivable that Wei Qi must have suffered a lot in the Quartet, and in the end he couldn't stand it and confessed to the boss.

Kagezo was not too surprised by Sorge's arrest, and this matter was said by Makino again, but it was only a month away. Kagezo had met Sorge several times, twice in Japan and once in Shanghai, China, and even with his eyesight, he couldn't see any problems at the time, only that this person was full of National Socialist theory and nationalist clamour, and he was wearing a Nazi insignia at all times, but he didn't expect to be a Soviet spy.

He flipped through a few more pages, all of which were speculations about Konoe's resignation, and he was used to taking what Makino said as inevitable, in short, Konoe Fumiro would step down in the near future, and then Tojo would come to power. And then ...... It's going to war.

He put down the newspaper and opened the file bag. It was specially rushed to him from the base camp and had just been brought in by an ensign on a motorcycle.

He's fallen out of favor in the military, and since the last few events have brought him a reputation for being weirdos, it's not expected that someone will bring him important information. So who sent this?

He tore off the outermost wordless package, and saw that the words on the envelope inside were forwarded to him by Kinoshita Eichi of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. This surprised him a little, and after leaving Shanghai, he had several phone calls with Kinoshita, and learned that his team had obtained a piece of information from the safe of the Shell Company, and had taken it with a miniature camera, which was about oil exploration in Manchuria, and the approximate location was basically the same as Makino said, but the exact location was not found.

"Is it the case?"

He opened the envelope, inside was a Central Daily and a piece of stationery, he looked at the date of the newspaper, it was five days ago, and the front page published a photo of a thin and tall guy and Chen Cheng, secretary of the Three People's Doctrine Youth Training Corps. Judging from the text, it is the person who hijacked the plane from Shanghai to Kunming. Due to Japan's domestic news control, it is impossible to see similar news that has lost military prestige, so Kagezo Zhenzhao also saw Chu Aiyun's face for the first time, of course he didn't know it.

He shook open the letter and found that it was very short.

"Chongqing released a photo of this person to publicize our new setbacks in Shanghai. At the end of July, when the headquarters was blown up, Dr. Ono, who had been rented and kidnapped by enemy agents, identified him as one of the two people who had broken into Ono's clinic that day. According to Ono and his lover's recollections, this man spoke excellent Japanese, with few flaws, and a Kyushu accent. According to the captured Mahler shipyard workers, there was also this person in the secret service organization in the mixed factory at that time, and the official rank may be after the leader Lin Jiu, or the second or third person. It is puzzling why Chongqing would make public photos of such important figures. And according to the news from Chongqing, this person is a member of the Loyal National Salvation Army, which is completely out of our judgment. ”

Kagesa took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, the incident made him feel haggard. Every time this group of people appears, they will give him some surprises, and this time is no exception.

He originally thought that he had already guessed that there were no more than two ways for this group of people, one was Britain and the United States, and the other was the Soviet Union, and he himself was more inclined to the Soviet Union. On the contrary, he believes that it will definitely not be related to Chongqing. It is not just from the reaction of Chen Gongshu in the 76th interrogation, but from the perspective of the ability shown by these people, they are far stronger than the military commanders.

But in any case, this matter must be put aside for a while, and let Ki go down to investigate, and he must hurry up to catch something from the sea.

Meanwhile, in the sea where the Kasuga Maru had largely sunk that day, a dilapidated Japanese sentinel ship was cruising back and forth in a huge area, dropping eight lifeboats along the way, each with several women in swimsuits and diving goggles. They were the only chance Makino could think of to find Kasugamaru. As Cheng Dayang judged, Makino did not know the exact location of the sunken, but he gridded the approximate sea area on the map, and then asked the boats to search according to the assigned area.

In mid-September, the direct sunlight is still strong at noon and can penetrate 150 metres of water, and if one can dive to a depth of 70 metres, they may be able to see the bottom of the sea 100 metres below with the help of a faint light. On that day, Makino and the other three escaped from the closed rescue capsule, knowing that Kasugamaru sank in an area of about 200 meters.

This depth was roughly the limit that Japanese submarines could dive, but the submarines had no windows and did not play a big role (Nobusuke Kishi's energy could not be transferred to the submarine), so they had to try it with manpower. Nobusuke Kishi recruited Ise ama for 5 yen a day, and as a result, he rushed to recruit 40 people at once, and they could be divided into three shifts to go to the sea.

These women, who usually rely on pearl and abalone fishing for their daily lives, can stay in the deep sea at a depth of 50 to 70 meters for about 1 minute without any equipment, and there is no risk of latent diseases. And as fishermen by the sea, their eyesight is generally excellent.
