Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Intelligencer
To be honest, from Fang Lang's point of view, this certificate is too rough, and it is impossible to judge the authenticity. It is very easy for the Japanese to get such a document.
Seeing the two of them looking at themselves nervously, Fang Lang said directly in Portuguese:
"Grab them all."
The two obviously didn't understand Portuguese, but the Brazilian soldiers both spoke Portuguese, so they waited for the two to react. was arrested by a group of soldiers.
Frightened, the two of them shouted again and again:
"Sir, is there some misunderstanding! We are allies! Is there some misunderstanding? ”
It's a pity that Fang Lang ignored them, but directly ordered the boatswain:
"Find a room, strip them off for me, and go through them. It is important to check whether their underwear is a Japanese crotch cloth and whether there are any traces of their feet passing through clogs.
And whether there are any wounds on their bodies, whether there are traces of torture. Vice Captain Reina, you contact the Okinawa base and ask them to verify the identities of the two with the Nationalist Government. ”
Reina took the order and left, but the boatswain said a little crampedly:
"Sir, what are these crotch cloths and geta you are talking about?"
Fang Lang knew that the current Brazilians and the Japanese did not have much contact, so it was normal not to know this, so he explained to him in detail and told him what kind of traces would be left, and the boatswain suddenly took the order and left.
Looking at the wooden fishing boats that were gradually moving away from the sea in the distance, Fang Lang couldn't help but start thinking in his heart, which part of these people were they?
If it is really a military commander, then what is the purpose of their coming? If they are not military commanders, then what kind of people are they? If they were Japanese, what was their purpose?
Soon, the boatswain came over to report the results of the inspection to Fang Lang.
"Sir, there are no features on the two of them, and there are no signs of torture, the older one has two stab wounds on his body, but neither is fatal, it looks like it was caused by a street fight.
The young man had a penetrating wound in his right chest, and it was a big deal for him to survive. However, I feel that the two of them look a little strange, looking at the faces of both of them are older, but the bodies don't look that old. ”
After hearing this, Fang Lang smiled, this is obviously a disguise! I can't imagine that this kind of technology already exists now. I couldn't help but look forward to it.
"That's when they put on makeup, and they told them to take off their disguises. I'll talk to them when we confirm their identities with the Okinawa base. ”
"Yes, sir!"
At about noon, Fang Lang received a notice from the Okinawa base confirming the identity information of the two people.
When Fang Lang saw the two again, the two had changed a lot. The older Zhong Ze's actual age is thirty-six or seventeen years old at most, while the translator next to him is less than thirty years old.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Fang Lang nodded, pointed to the seat in front of him, and said flatly:
"You two, I have just confirmed your identity with your country, and I hope you don't mind your unreasonable behavior just now."
The two looked at the young man sitting opposite them with a golden knife, and they were a little unsure of each other's identities.
Zhong Ze was the first to speak:
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a necessary vetting process and we can understand it."
Fang Lang didn't want to apologize, it wasn't that Fang Lang wasn't excited when he saw the two compatriots. Instead, it is more conducive to communication between the two parties by maintaining a certain sense of distance before understanding the other party's purpose.
"Then tell me about it! What was the purpose of the two of them risking their lives? ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze said with some hesitation:
"Sir, I don't know if I can explain your identity."
Since the identity of the other party has been confirmed, of course Fang Lang will not hide his identity from the other party, and said directly:
"We are the Allied Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy, and I am Colonel Fang Lang of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, commanded by the US Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet, and have come to carry out the mission of blocking Japan's transportation lines."
Zhong Ze obviously relaxed at this moment, and a very unnatural smirk began to pile up on his face, which made Fang Lang look very awkward.
"Hello sir, since it's the Allied army, then all of us are allies. Thank you very much to the Allies for coming thousands of miles to help us kill little Japan. ”
Seeing that the other party was going to continue to be polite, Fang Lang interrupted unceremoniously:
"Okay, your smile is fake, let's put it away! We are allies, we are compatriots, and we don't have to deliberately curry favor. What is the purpose of your coming, just say it! ”
To be honest, Fang Lang hates people who deliberately curry favor when he sees foreign devils. I haven't seen you so stammering with my father, why do you think you're a head shorter than a foreign devil!
Zhong Ze was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Fang Lang to be so direct, and said with some uncertainty:
"Sir, you just said we are compatriots?"
"Is it so obvious that you can't see it? As a major intelligence officer of the military command, you only have such a little level, didn't you listen carefully to my name just now? Or is this one next to you Major Zhong Ze? ”
Fang Lang's words made the two of them stunned, and after glancing at each other, the young man who had been very calm and did not make a sound on the side finally spoke:
"Colonel Fang, you are really sharp-eyed!"
After speaking, one stood up and saluted:
"Hello sir, I'm Zhong Ze, the intelligence officer of the major of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command."
The man who has always said that he is Zhong Ze also stood up a little embarrassed and said:
"Hello sir, I'm Qiu Youyi, an intelligence officer at Shanghai Station."
Fang Lang said indifferently:
"Alright, I don't care about that, I just want to know the purpose of the two of you finding us."
The real Zhong Ze didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:
"We want to cooperate with your army, and we will provide you with the departure time and route of the Japanese freighter, so that you can attack directly."
Hearing this, Fang Lang was stunned, this is if you want to fall asleep, someone will send a pillow! After thinking about it, he said a little strangely:
"If you can get the time of the Japanese freighter's departure, you can report it directly to the Allies! There's no need to come to us directly! Also, I've been looking around for a few days, and I can't see what the situation is with a transport ship. ”
"Colonel Fang, that's exactly what I'm going to say. Since the Allied occupation of Okinawa, the Japanese have detained all cargo ships in Shanghai, allowing them to enter and not leave.
We found that the Japanese were now very difficult and short of fuel, and they concentrated the fuel of all the ships on more than twenty ships, apparently preparing to secure the supply of fuel for these ships.
In addition, we found that the Japanese garrison in Shanghai was collecting strategic materials everywhere, including pig bristles, rubber, tung oil, ore, and even kerosene used by the common people.
Among them, there are some precious historical relics and gold and silver recovered from China. We judged that they wanted to form a fleet and set off at the same time, and there might even be several warships to escort them.
As for why we contacted you directly, instead of reporting to headquarters, the reason is simple. This time, the Japanese were very well guarded, and even the porters were Japanese expatriates.
We didn't have a chance to get close, and we couldn't get an accurate departure time. Now we can only monitor the movements of the warships from a distance in the harbor, and we are worried that if they suddenly leave us, we will report to the headquarters, and then arrange for the fleet to intercept them. ”
Fang Lang thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't even touched a single hair for so many days, it turned out that the Japanese were fighting this idea. It seems that it is necessary for me to invite a few boats to hunt!
The Japanese want to transport back what they looted from China to defend Japan, isn't this a damn dream of the Spring and Autumn Period?
"Can you find a way to determine the specific time of their departure, I will find a way to coordinate the interception fleet, ensure that they are all sent to the bottom of the sea, and never let them be transported back to Japan."
After listening to Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze shook his head and said with a depressed expression:
"We're doing our best to figure out when the devil will go. But they have put the whole port under martial law, and our people can't get in at all, and those who go in can't get out. ”
"Don't they eat or drink anymore, so many ships set off together, they must collect enough food and drinking water! If you can't get in, do you analyze the materials they procured? ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze couldn't help but glance at Fang Langgao, this kind of thinking is the work idea of intelligence officers! I didn't expect that the Colonel Fang in front of him would have such an awareness.
"We've been doing this for a long time, but in the last half a month, they've been maintaining an equal amount of procurement. Based on our analysis of their data, we feel that they now have enough supplies to meet their needs for the voyage. However, they still did not move. ”
