309 Final Proposal
419 had not received communication from the co-captain, and the communication equipment that Lin Xiuxuan had taken the risk of transmitting to him did not seem to have been used so far, either his situation was unable to carry out communication, or he had left the communication range. However, judging from the intercepted communications between the Allied forces and the Japanese army, Qin Xiaosu should have taken the train to northern Myanmar to prepare for a high-level meeting.
The name Jingdong was mentioned several times in the secret correspondence of the Southern Authorities, and they judged that the heavyweights of China, the United States, and Britain would meet there, probably in early February. The Japanese side attaches great importance to collecting intelligence in this regard, and obviously has the intention of air strikes, but up to now, the main air forces of the army are still in Malaya and Singapore, and the 5th Flying Division under the 15th Army has not yet taken shape, so Chennault's Flying Tigers and the Royal Air Force, which has newly arrived with a small number of Hurricane fighters, can still control the situation in northern Burma for the time being.
Of course, now is not the time to worry about Chu Aiyun's safety, he stayed with a bunch of big people, and he didn't know that a nuclear bomb was lost, which was far more comfortable than everyone on 419.
After Lin Xiuxuan went to 419, he went to Qin Xiaosu's listening room alone to listen to the report, collect relevant information for the recent period, and leave Cheng Dayang, who was anxious to discuss the next plan, there to hang it.
After waiting for about 6 hours, Lin Xiuxuan finally completed the recent period of information collation, and the three of them sat down proudly and held this meeting.
"Let's talk about one thing first, when I broke through on the shore just now, I killed an important person." As soon as everyone sat down, Lin Xiuxuan came straight to the point, and he seemed very reasonable, he knew that at least today, Cheng Dayang had no face to catch his mistakes.
"Isn't it Aung San? Death is death, and you are also forced to do so. "The commissar came forward to find a step for everyone.
"So what's next?" Cheng Dayang said.
"Find a way to get the nuclear bomb back," Hayashi said, going straight to the solution with an air of emotion, he didn't want to be held accountable for the loss of the nuclear bomb, now was not the time, "I expected that the Japanese had never seen this thing, and they wouldn't recognize it for a while, so they should have thrown it at the bilge of the Kyushu Maru for a while." So 419 should keep track of the ship, and before she leaves for Tokyo, there will be all sorts of possibilities......"
"We've thought about that. The enemy should not have noticed what he picked up at the moment, but it is not so simple for us to get the nuclear bomb back...... First of all, when the ship is parked in the harbor, using a crane, 419 must be parked on the side before the hoisting can be completed, and in this process, the enemy on board will not disappear out of thin air, so ......"
"So you think the best thing to do is to sink the ship at sea while it's at sea?"
"Not bad." Cheng Dayang nodded, "Maybe we can travel back in the future and pick it up in the same place." In this way, the past is also explained. ”
Lin Xiuxuan was a little forbearing, Cheng Dayang was still thinking about such details, and it was completely unreliable.
"I agree with this plan, if necessary, the ship can be sunk, and the nuclear bomb does not fall into the hands of the enemy, of course, the most important task."
"So, that's it?" Cheng Dayang asked tentatively, and he suddenly found that Lin was actually very easy to deal with, far less mean to him than he was.
"But that's just the worst-case scenario, and we're going to have to imagine a few more scenarios."
"What else could have happened? Either we can find an opportunity and get the nuclear bomb back, or ...... Sinking the ship is nothing more than these two possibilities. ”
"No, I think there might be a third possibility."
Cheng Dayang and the political commissar looked at Lin Xiuxuan, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, anyway, every time he had an unexpected way.
"You see, this is the information that Qin Xiaosu heard just now."
He said that he handed over the two documents to Cheng Dayang and the political commissar respectively, obviously he was very well prepared when he came, and seeing that he still had a stack of papers in his hand, it seemed that he would lay out his thoughts step by step.
"This is a message from the Japanese Navy? Mr. K was requested to be sent to Rabaul by 20 February...... What do you mean? ”
"Mr. K is an internal call sign for Asano, which has been used several times, and it can be confirmed that a few people in the upper echelons of the Navy and the Army know this call sign. This message came from a large source, and it was the No. 1 telegram from the telecommunications office of the Yamato. ”
“…… Yamato is already finished? ”
"Well, it has just been completed, and the flagship handover ceremony will be officially held in 10 days, that is, on February 12, because the communication equipment of this ship is superior, or because of the living conditions Yamamoto likes it, and it seems that Yamamoto's headquarters has now moved to Yamato."
"But what does that have to do with our nuclear bomb? Can you explain that? Cheng Dayang politely asked for an answer, he found that he couldn't keep up with Lin's train of thought, but he couldn't be too anxious today.
"According to my investigation, Asano has already begun to involve the decision-making of the base camp, and it is likely that it is through the favored base camp staff officer Masanobu Tsuji. In addition, he also established contacts with the top brass of the Navy, perhaps Onishi, perhaps Yamamoto himself. ”
"That's right, Lu Qingshan has seen Asano and Masanobu Tsuji together on the island, and they did collude together."
"Well, the so-called people are divided by groups, and things are gathered by like, Kagesa Zhenzhao has a very low evaluation of Asano, but it seems that Masanobu Tsuji is the opposite, he is a military adventurist, so it is easy to talk to Asano."
"This ...... Is there a basis? ”
"Of course, this is a telegram intercepted by Qin Xiaosu from the Kyushu Maru communication room using the army code, the time was 7 days ago, when the ship was still in Malacca, and the sender was Masanobu Tsuji." Lin said that he handed over a piece of paper, and sure enough, he was very thoughtful and thoughtful, "The telegram mentions the battle plan for New Guinea, and asks the base camp to transfer the plan to the Navy Ministry. Then, just today, the Navy gave preliminary approval of the plan, asking Asano and Masanobu Tsuji to go to Rabaul on the 20th of this month. Apparently, Asano had planned this plan with Masanobu Tsuji on the ship, and had roughly received the support of the Navy. At the heart of the plan was to abandon the attack on the Solomon Islands and instead devote all its forces to New Guinea. ”
"It seems that it is just a very mechanical absorption of the lessons of history, and it is completely a plan for a headache?" Cheng Dayang said.
"Of course you're right. However, Asano's prescription may have been an effective mishap, and the Japanese army in 1942 still took advantage of the chaos of the Allies to achieve miracles in any direction of the campaign, and we should not take it lightly. ”
The political commissar nodded thoughtfully, but Cheng Dayang was noncommittal and continued to wait for Lin to continue.
"Imagine if the Japanese army did not disperse its forces in a secondary direction of little strategic value, but concentrated all its forces and occupied New Guinea, then the next step could be to threaten Australia. As the saying goes, attacking it will save it, and the U.S. fleet may passively engage in the defense of this area. It is not possible to carry out mobile operations throughout the Pacific Ocean. ”
"But I still don't see anything to do with our nuclear bombs."
"Kyushu Maru's mission has changed, he will not return to the mainland immediately, he will first go to Dalian to transport the main force of the 1st Division, which had just left the mainland for the Northeast in January, and now it has suddenly changed its mind and is going to turn to New Britain. This is the Army Department's schedule and route notice intercepted 30 minutes ago. Lin said and handed over the last piece of paper, "I think, how much of this is also our factor, we used electronic deception to instigate a rebellion of the First Division in Tokyo, maybe it is the punishment imposed by the base camp on the unit, since this matter started because of us, we should also be good people to the end." ”
It seems that it is not unreasonable for Lin Xiuxuan to soak in Qin Xiaosu all day long, the information he obtained from the listening room is far more than the one he got by himself.
"You want to detonate a nuclear bomb and destroy the 1st Division?" Cheng Dayang looked at Lin dumbfounded.
"Well, I do have that idea. We must stop the Japanese from winning the war at all costs, in all ways. Now that the nuclear bomb has fallen into their hands, I think that instead of sinking the ship, we should also bear the responsibility for losing the nuclear bomb, and let the nuclear bomb play a greater role. ”
The venue was silent for a while, and Cheng Dayang gradually realized that Lin's statement was indeed reasonable, and to get the nuclear bomb back from a cargo ship intact, 419 could not be exposed yet, unless a miracle happened. If it is detonated during the transportation of troops without leaving any witnesses, it is a suitable method in all aspects, and compared with the plan of sinking the Kyushu Maru, it can save at least one*. He was meticulous and calculated to the millimeter, confirming that this was actually the optimal solution.
"However, there is one more problem. The nuclear bomb is not currently in a detonable state. It's just in a trackable state. ”
"How long does it take to switch jobs?"
"If you let Shu Ping do it, about 30 minutes, remove the tracker, reinstall the battery, and set a detonation time, but how to send Shu Ping to a ship full of enemies?"
"There will always be a chance, I will leave Lu Qingshan on 419, and he will have a plan of action. Of course, if that doesn't work, the worst option is for you to sink the ship. ”
"Why, you're not going to go with us?"
"Well, Asano lit fires everywhere, and he left another plan in Myanmar that I had to stay and solve."
"The Burma plan?"
"Yes, annihilate the expeditionary force, capture northern Burma, and conquer Assam in northern India all the way. The number of troops allocated to the 15th Army is already far greater than in history; In addition, the Yugoslav authorities also asked Germany to escort the Indian independence leader Chandrabose to Burma; In addition, the Yugoslav authorities developed a plan to assassinate Gandhi and Nehru. The signs of the enemy's efforts in Burma are clear, and we cannot help but intervene. ”
"How do you know so much?" The commissar lost his words for a moment and asked a stupid question.
"As soon as I got on the boat, I went to the listening room to see the information compiled by Qin Xiaosu, you really don't care at all?"
Cheng Dayang and the political commissar are really speechless, Cheng Dayang rarely goes anywhere, the political commissar goes once a day, looks at the telegram summary, finds out whether Moscow is still insisting, what speech the US president has made, and that's it.
This time we broke up, it may take a long time, so I have to bring Qin Xiaosu with me, and we will build a long-distance communication facility in the high mountains of northern Myanmar, so that we can communicate with each other thousands of kilometers apart. Of course, communication obstacles cannot be completely eliminated, and if necessary, each of them will have to fight independently in one direction. ”
