Chapter 328: Crow's Beak
Kobayashi's order quickly reached Mizuno Nobuyi's ears, which made him obviously stunned.
But he knew that Kobayashi Hisaku was a veteran, and he knew how to fight.
This is not the time to worry about conflict of commands.
So, in the end, he chose to trust the other party's choice.
Hurriedly ordered all those who had received the equipment to build a new line of defense on the dock.
This order was to preserve his superiority in firepower.
In order to avoid falling back into a passive situation of darkness,
A large number of torches were lit fifty meters before the defensive line.
The chaos in the darkness continued, and the Japanese had a clear numerical advantage.
And Kobayashi Hisakusa, a veteran, did play an important role.
It turned out that he didn't just set up a torch defense ring.
Behind the torch defense ring, four lines of defense were arranged in stages, many stumbling ropes were set up with rattans, and some small dirt pits of large and small messy were dug out.
This caused a lot of harm to those who rushed through the torch ring without being stopped.
There are countless cases of falling injuries and being surrounded and suppressed after falling to the ground.
For a while, the deadly charge organized by the bearded man and others failed to break through these layers of defense.
Stopped in the jungle in front of the pier.
Nathan, who had been standing behind and observing, quickly saw the situation.
Especially when he noticed that there were circles of torches lit up in front of the dock, and the rows of Japanese dwarfs behind the torches who had been armed.
His whole person is a whirlwind.
I secretly said in my heart:
"It's over!"
At this time, the voice of Pulsatilla Hope came from beside him:
"It's over, let's see if we can get everyone to withdraw!
If you continue to entangle, you won't change anything.
There are masters in these little Japans. ”
When Nathan heard Pulsatilla Hope's words, he did not turn his head, but said in a sad tone:
"What's the use of withdrawing?
After tonight, the island will be the world of the Japanese.
In the future, we will either be killed or live like slaves. ”
Volks and others on the fishing boat did not go far.
Instead, he was quietly observing everything on the island with the help of a telescope.
When I saw a long line of torches lit in front of the pier,
Deves Barry put down the binoculars in his hand and chuckled:
"I didn't expect that there are still some talents in Little Japan!
Don't look at it, the overall situation has been decided, let's withdraw! ”
Vaux may not have the vision of Deves Barry, but he can see something.
"You did it on purpose!"
Hearing Vaux's question, Deves Barry tilted his head to look at the other party, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and immediately returned to a serious expression and asked:
"What deliberately?"
Volks, too, put down the telescope in his hand and wrapped the rope around the telescope twice before saying:
"The last few hits that hit the crate with a flashlight, do you dare to say it wasn't intentional?"
"Didn't I show him where the goods were so he could inspect them?"
"You're obviously just taking random photos, okay? Did you arrange the people who grabbed the goods on the island? ”
Hearing Vaux's question, Deves Barry almost choked himself, and quickly coughed a few times before saying:
"Our trading partner is small Japan, how can I arrange for someone to grab the goods?"
"Where did those people come from?"
"How do I know?"
"I think there's something strange about what you're doing."
"What's weird?"
"You don't seem to care about the quality of the goods, and you don't even want the Japanese to get the goods smoothly."
Vaux's eyes were slightly puzzled, staring at Devis Barry, trying to see something in his expression, and he was a little curious about what secret was hidden in it.
Deves Barry noticed Vaux's curious eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Vox beside him and said:
"Do you really want to know? I can tell you! ”
Noticing the expression on the other party's face, Vaux was immediately alert, and it was better not to know too many secrets.
The business was successfully completed, and the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him.
I don't want to continue to participate in the business of such big people in the future.
So, he waved his hand again and again, smiled and said:
"Forget it, I'd better mind my business!
I'm not interested in your business. ”
Devis Barry said with some jokingness:
"Oh! You're not curious at all? ”
"No....... No...... I'm not curious.
Now that the other party has signed to confirm the receipt, the rest is none of my business. ”
Looking at Vaux's vigilant look, his eyes seemed to say, okay! You don't have to say that.
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Deves Barry's eyes,
I have to say that Vaux is a smart man, he knows some secrets, and the less he knows, the better.
This made him think of his own situation, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his heart unconsciously.
...........................
Natal Naval Base, Logistics Service Section II.
"Sir, I just received a telegram that the arms deal on the island has been completed.
The Japanese received the arms in their entirety. ”
A telegraph operator stood at Sirio Reich's desk with a folder and reported.
"Oh! Didn't the other two forces on the island respond? ”
Siriorech asked casually without raising his head.
After all, this batch of arms was deliberately released by them, so he was not surprised that this batch of arms could be delivered smoothly.
Seeing that the chief did not seem to be ready to take the telegram and check it himself, the operator could only reply again:
The telegram said that two other forces on the island had joined forces and launched an attack on the Japanese in an attempt to snatch weapons.
But the Japanese had already taken precautions and failed to succeed. ”
Hearing this, Sirio Reich stopped what he was doing, raised his head and glanced at the operator, saying:
"Huh...... It seems that there are smart people among these Japanese!
Call back: Keep an eye on the next move of the Japanese, keep abreast of the latest developments, pay attention to safety, and do nothing to allow them to evacuate at any time. ”
As an intelligence officer in the second section of the logistics department, Sirio Reich of course had to arrange a way out for them.
As early as when they landed on the island, they had asked the navy to take advantage of the darkness to send a small boat to a hidden cliff on the edge of the island, and carry out the necessary camouflage.
People who don't know the situation can't even find out if they walk up to them.
And not far from the island, there are also navy patrol boats, ready to meet at any time.
"Yes, sir!"
After the operator took the record, he was ordered to leave.
After waiting for the operator to leave, Sirio Leitch stood up and walked around the office a few times.
As if he had made up his mind, he followed to the telecommunications room and sent a telegram to Fang Lang, who was far away in the United States.
Early the next morning, Sirio Leitch had a call back.
Della Torre, who was on duty at the naval base, was found.
"Directly arrested, ships transporting arms?"
De la Torre looked at Sirio Reich in front of him with some surprise, he knew the identity of the other party.
Also very aware of the actions that the other side is doing.
"Yes, sir!
Now the person behind the scenes is on this ship.
The boss of the arms seller is also on this ship, and this is a rare opportunity.
They will lose contact with the land for a few days at sea, and we will take each other directly at sea.
Pry open their mouths, and maybe you'll be able to catch some substantial evidence. ”
Sirio Leitch patiently explained to de la Torre why he wanted to arrest him directly.
As the chief of staff of the fleet, de la Torre knew Fang Lang's plan.
Since, now that Sirio Reich has obtained Fang Lang's consent, de la Torre certainly has no objections.
Looking at the telegram in his hand, he said to Sirio Reich:
"Good! Now that the boss has decided.
I'll arrange for someone to assist you now.
Since the last time was also the first munitions ship captured by the other party, let's continue to arrange for them to cooperate this time!
You can take your people with you and head straight to the pier.
I will command the House to cooperate fully with your actions. ”
Sirio Leitch was overjoyed to hear that the chief of staff had arranged for a destroyer to cooperate with his capture.
Stand up and salute directly:
"Yes, thank you, sir!"
De la Torre also got up and saluted back, and said:
"You're welcome, we're all working for the boss.
I hope you can pull this behind the scenes out and see the sun.
Don't give him a chance to continue hiding in the shadows and release cold arrows. ”
As soon as Sirio Leitch heard the chief of staff's words, he understood that the other party also knew who was behind it.
also knows that this arms smuggling eucalyptus will definitely not be able to shoot the other party to death.
However, it is possible to drag the other party out of the darkness through this piece and expose it in the public eye.
Reduce his political influence.
Sirio Leitch, who received an affirmative reply from de la Torre, took more than a dozen agents directly from the Second Section of the Logistics Department and boarded the destroyer House.
And Fang Lang, who is far away in the United States, has been receiving a telegram from Sirio Leitch last night.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally chose to end his military academy inspection trip.
I wanted to take Lilith straight back to Brazil.
But Lilith said that there was still some time before the summer vacation, and he planned to fly to Brazil to spend the summer vacation after going to France to take Vivien with him at the beginning of the summer vacation.
In this regard, Fang Lang naturally has no opinion.
In the end, Fang Lang left the United States with the invitation to visit the West Point Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy that he had promised to Admiral Crook.
By the time Fang Lang returned to Natal Naval Base, Vaux and Deves Barry in the Atlantic Ocean were being stopped by the Howes in the Atlantic.
Although, it was the first time for the two to experience this kind of thing, but the two were not flustered.
Because there was no contraband on board now, when the huge destroyer House raised the flag and ordered them to stop the ship for inspection.
They very simply chose to obey orders.
After all, Volks' crew had just had a fishing boat, and because he did not obey the order, he was forcibly boarded by the navy and a full ship of munitions was seized.
He lost so much that he now has to risk going out to deliver in person.
At this moment, Volks' is rejoicing, fortunately, all the arms on the ship have been delivered, otherwise he would really lose his family this time.
Although it is not known why, recently the fleet of the Navy will often inspect ships at sea.
But as an underworld, he didn't dare to show his teeth to the regular army.
Behind him, the explosive-headed black Girard, looked nervously at the two traffic boats that were being solved at high speed on the sea.
And the heavily armed Marines on the boat, swallowed their saliva with difficulty:
"Boss, do we want to throw the weapons in our hands into the sea?"
Volks, glaring at him angrily, said:
"What bullshit!
Lock the guy in a box, we're just fishing boats.
Let them check casually.
At this time, if you throw something into the sea, don't you tell others that we have a problem?
We're all clever, we are fishermen, you know? ”
The subordinates responded, only Girard looked at Vaux with a constipated face and said:
"But, boss, we don't even have a fish on the boat, will others not believe us and take us away!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Immediately after, Vaux kicked Girard:
"Shut your crow's mouth, isn't it normal that we have just gone to sea and have not yet harvested?"
