"So* plus a nuclear bomb, wouldn't it be possible to wipe out a country in a matter of days?" Kagesa asked.

"Yes, but there is a balance of terror," Asano replied weakly, "and there is no longer a war between all the nuclear powers, and they have reached a consensus to prohibit other countries from possessing nuclear weapons, and Japan is unfortunately blocked from this threshold and will never be a first-class country again." ”

"Sounds like the world of the future is very sane?"

"By the way, General, do you have any preparations for going to North China this time?" Asano was a little impatient with Kagesa's question and asked about North China.

"Yes, I have an old friend there, who was once a right-hand man of His Excellency Tu Feiyuan. Because he offended Tojo, he is currently opening a restaurant in the Japanese concession of Tianjin. She knows China and the Chinese very well and can help us explore North China. ”

"Yoshiko Kawashima?"

"Not bad."

"She's a spy, what can she do to help...... It seems that you have other purposes for going to North China, and I will state first that I have no interest in your spy operations. Asano said.

Kagesa Zhenzhao gasped, he realized that Asano had almost touched the key point through the name Yoshiko Kawashima, and it seemed that he should be careful.

In 419, Cheng Dayang was also anxiously waiting for Lin Xiuxuan to make up his mind, but he also knew very well that Lin had the same reason for not dropping bombs as his reasons for dropping bombs. The so-called precision strike relies not only on precision ammunition, but also on precise intelligence, and there is currently only limited information, indicating that the Traverser's previous movements are related to this aircraft, and it is not certain that their next operation will be related to this aircraft. In any case, he was prepared not to interfere with Lin and let him make his own decisions. Of course, he knew very well that if Lin didn't drop a bomb the first time, then he wouldn't drop a bomb the second time the plane took off.

In the afternoon, the seaplane was prepared, and the drone could see a group of people coming in a car and getting on the plane in turn.

Asano and Kagesa got on the seaplane, Asano found a back seat, he had taken the plane several times, and he already had experience, the further back the position, the less vibration the engine caused. He found himself in a comfortable position, and found that Kagezo's face was pale and seemed to be uncomfortable.

"General, you got airsick before you took off?" He comforted Kagesa.

"Oh, it's not motion sickness, it's ...... It's a little hot. ”

"It's not hot after takeoff."

Asano said with a hippie smile, of course he knew that what Kagesa Zhenzhao was afraid of was the air defense that was in vain*. In his opinion, Makino and Kagesa are completely suffering from too much imagination, and they have imagined a group of enemies who can do anything.

Everyone sat down, and the plane started up.

The drone continued to hover in the air, Lin Xiuxuan watched the target take off, as Cheng Dayang expected, he never made up his mind to attack. Although the hunch that welled up in his heart told him that there was an important goal above him, and that as long as he * threw it down, he could solve the problem once and for all, but action could not be based on intuition.

He just watched the plane take off, the speed gradually increased, and the laser-guided * lost the opportunity to attack. It seems that the only way to do this is to track the plane and see if it will return this time.

The seaplane gradually climbed up, and Kagesa Zhenzhao's face was better, but he still looked out vigilantly. Makino had told him that if a small team sneaked up on the island and lurked nearby with that kind of small air defense*, then a cloud of smoke could be seen rising. It will follow the heat source of the aircraft. He exhausted his imagination, and it was difficult for him to come up with such a thing.

Of course, nothing was seen in the end. Makino's description of the weapons of the future is simply incredible. He also watched the radio command attack of the V1* modified anti-ship* and looked very clumsy and could fall into the water at any time. He couldn't believe that China would have such technology in the future, and the messages from Asano and Makino were not the same. Makino once said that China would become the only country in the world that could surpass the United States, and that China's military strength had far surpassed that of Japan before the crossing. Asano believes that China will only follow the technology of advanced countries, and if there is no nuclear war, the future Japanese Navy (Maritime Self-Defense Force) can still annihilate the Chinese Navy in 45 minutes.

In his opinion, Makino's words must be closer to reality, because Makino is the kind of person who seems timid and cautious, while Asano is like a bombastic guy, and the girly tattoo on his stomach also shows that he is an unreliable person.

The drone cannot track the seaplane for too long and must return, but it can continue to track the direction of the plane through radar. Measured from an angle, it flew northwest. The course did not point to Shanghai, but to the further north.

419 set sail and headed in the same direction. In other words, the submarine will arrive somewhere off the coast of China (perhaps the Shandong Peninsula or the Bohai Bay) a few days later than the plane, and by that time, the important people on the plane have already disappeared into the crowd, and it is up to Lin Xiuxuan to find them.

Lin Xiuxuan was shocked and made a new plan, followed the plane closely, and then landed for reconnaissance to confirm whether the traverser was there, and then took action according to the situation. Since the Agano was sunk, the situation on Kasugamaru's side could be eased a bit, and he expected a window of action. But drone reconnaissance showed that on one of the slipways at the Mitsubishi Nagasaki shipyard, another odd-shaped salvage ship was being refitted, almost exactly like the destroyed Agano and seemed to be ready for completion soon.

Due to the lack of manpower, in addition to Lu Qingshan, it seems that Qin Xiaosu will be brought ashore this time. Although he joined the special team, not because of his operational ability, but because of his other technical expertise, Chu Tingchang was not a professional scout. Judging from the potential of all aspects of quality, Qin Xiaosu is not under Chu Tingchang.

After a long flight, the plane landed in a dark harbor.

The groggy Asano was woken up by Kagesa Zhenzhao and found that he was shocked.

"What is this place?" Asano wiped the saliva from his lips and looked out to see a dark steamer passing by.

"Tanggu New Port."

"That's to Tianjin?"

"Not bad."

Kagesa replied coldly and got up to leave, with Asano following closely. When I got off the plane, I found that the port was empty, except for the searchlights sweeping around, and the guards walking around, there was no car to greet you.

"Why didn't anyone pick us up?" He asked.

"Because they didn't know we were coming. Don't worry, I'll call. ”

Kagezo took Asano across the boardwalk to the duty room of the New Port and Bay Bureau, showed the documents to the guards, and he grabbed the phone and shook the grip.

"Give me the Tianjin Garrison Army Headquarters. I'm Major General Akira Kagesa. ”

He finished handing the microphone to the guard, who made sure it was a major general. He spoke a few more words and put down the phone.

Asano was already a little dissatisfied, and he felt that Kagezo didn't do anything at all, it was like child's play. How did he know that this was exactly where Kagezo was cautious.

"Why don't you sit down at all, it's so late, where are we going?"

"Asano-kun, don't be in a hurry, from now on, we have to get used to actions that don't have an established plan."

"Don't have a plan?"

Asano watched as Kagezo didn't know what he was talking about.

"Don't worry, although General Kita Seiichi is gone, I have a lot of acquaintances here."

"You're not going to sleep on a camp bed, are you?" Asano said vigilantly.

"No, I'll take you to a good place." Kagesa said mysteriously, he has become very strange lately, and he hides everything, even Asano.

Asano had no choice but to sit in the duty room and wait. Watching the freighter transporting coal in the distance slowly drive out of the port, watching Kageza Zhenzhao go to the inner room and change his military uniform into civilian clothes, I don't know what the hell is going on. This port was newly built to transport looted supplies from North China to Japan, and was completely controlled by the Japanese army.

After waiting for a while, an ordinary car from the garrison army headquarters arrived, there was only one driver in the car, there was no garrison army sign on the car, and there were no guards. Asano thought it was strange that Kagezo was suspicious and cowardly, but he didn't find a squad of guards to protect him.

"Sir, where are you going?" The driver asked.

"To the Bridge of Nations."

"Not going to the garrison headquarters?" The driver was a little surprised.

"If I don't go there, I want to revisit."

"But, so late,?"

"You just drive."

The driver rolled his eyes and stepped on the gas.

An hour ago, the driver was sleeping soundly and was picked up for business, and the boss was dissatisfied, he guessed that this time he must be picking up a mean and eccentric guy, and now it seems that it is true.

The car drove for two hours, and finally sent them to the Wanguo Bridge on the border of the French Concession, Kagezo sent the driver back, got out of the car and walked, I don't know if for safety reasons, or really wanted to revisit the place in the dark, he didn't let the driver take him directly to the destination, and he didn't tell Asano where he was going.

By this time, it was already dark. The two walked west along the Haihe River. I watched as Chinese migrant workers began to work in pairs by the river, with Japanese soldiers and guards next to them. The riverside is full of coal and other supplies.

After walking a little way, you can see the Western-style buildings in front of you.

"Asano-kun, the Japanese concession is in front, and the Italian concession is on the other side of the river, which is the only two concessions in Tianjin at present."

"Let's walk along the river like this, and a random killer will kill us."

"Asano-kun, I've been doing this for many years, and my experience has taught me that safety doesn't depend on how many people protect you."

"It's hard to understand that no one is safe when no one is protected." Asano said.

Kagesa took a few steps and looked ahead.

"I remembered that many years ago, I assassinated Ma Zhanshan by this river, and I bought off the Ma family's cook, knew the route of his evening walk, and would leave the British Concession here for a while, and knew that he didn't bring bodyguards. I found six of the best gunslingers, but they failed. ”

"Not acting well enough?"

"No, no, in fact, it's the opposite, it's the action that is too thorough, but it's the target who is very smart, and often changes the route for no reason, so that the assassination is at a loss, and that time, it really taught me a lesson."

The two slowly walked into the Japanese concession.

"Look, Matsushima Street has arrived."

Asano looked ahead, and in front of him was a three-story building that was a mix of East and West. The plaque on the gate reads "Dongxing Building".
