"I think we can be called friends from now on, and I'll treat you to a drink after the mission." Caesar said.

"Suddenly, I'm a VIP at Gattuso's house." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"It's not just a VIP, a man's friendship is as strong as King Kong, Gen-kun!" Caesar said.

Yuan Zhisheng's heart moved slightly, thinking that the brain circuits of neurosis were abnormal, and even friendship seemed so cheap, presumably Caesar's friends could spread all over the world.

"That's all for today. Thank you for your hospitality." Caesar said.

The Peninsula Hotel, Lu Mingfei's room, the monitor is lit up with the game screen, but Lu Mingfei is not playing, he frowned, looked at his phone, and there was a short text message reply: "Received."

Further up was a text message he sent before he left for Japan: "Tokyo, Japan, I may need your help then."

After thinking about it, he still deleted a text message that had been edited along with the record, although he was warmly welcomed when he came to Japan this time, but after all, they never left the monitoring of the Japanese branch from beginning to end, even if he was repeatedly sure that there was no monitoring means in this room, but the Japanese branch still had the central computer "Hui Yueji", and it was difficult to ensure that his calls and text messages would not be monitored and monitored.

It's no wonder that Lu Mingfei is seriously ill, after all, Lu Mingze's little devil is not there, if there is any danger this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to be reminded in advance, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Moreover, the situation on the side of the Japanese branch is disturbing enough, as the saying goes, nothing to do is not a woman to steal, the more polite the Japanese branch behaves, the more people have to suspect that the plan behind the big picture, the treatment outside the obvious specifications, it is impossible to express their hospitality, he always feels that they come easily, to go back is estimated to be not so simple, there must be changes after the task, Caesar has his own Gattuso family to take care of, but he may not be able to take care of everyone at that time.

But there is no room for failure in this mission!

Lu Mingfei began to play the game worriedly.

……

The black clouds pressed on the head, the sea was uneasy to rise, and the weather did not look good today, and the Moniach, a meritorious warship that had given everything for the cause of dragon slaying, had changed its shape this time, and was disguised as a fishing boat by the Japanese branch, with three white characters painted "Mani Maru" on the bow and a large trawl net hanging on the boom at the stern.

Although the evening weather forecast said that there was a level 8 gale in the nearby sea area tonight, which may set off a 2-meter-high wave, it was not a good time to go to sea, but after all, the time was tight and the task was heavy, and everything was still as usual if there was no force majeure.

Lu Mingfei looked at the ocean with no end in sight, and felt quite a tragic sense of the wind and the cold water, and the strong man would never return, facing the ocean, it was difficult not to feel the insignificance of human beings. Caesar was as relieved as ever, he wore the captain's white uniform, and he didn't know what kind of role he was immersed in.

The searchlights were shining ahead, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance as the black clouds rolled, and it seemed that it was another storm tonight, as if every time they had a similar action, it was in the midst of a storm.

Caesar lifted the lid of the steamer, the orange king crab came out of the pot, he picked up Dick Tui Duo to dismantle the crab, stacked the snow-white crab meat on the crushed ice, and accompanied it with the prepared wasabi puree and seafood soy sauce, this is tonight's supper, he specially bought it at the dock and the fishing boat docking, although the task is about to start, but Caesar has always been a timely and happy character, and does not miss any opportunity to enjoy life.

In addition to the king crab, Caesar also bought a silver-red wild sea bream, stewed in the steamer at the bow of the boat, the adjuncts are bamboo shoots and green plums, to remove the smell of the sea bream, this pot of fish soup stewed for three hours, during which Caesar sat in the bow of the boat against the wind, while looking through the thick manual while taking care of the fish stew steamer, leisurely as if he was just experiencing a sea trip.

"He's patient." Yuan Zhisheng leaned on the side of the boat, smoking the "Soft Seven Stars" while saying to Chu Zihang.

"He was very patient in certain things, such as waiting a long time for a girl to agree to his marriage proposal, and waiting until he couldn't." Chu Zihang wiped the village rain, "But there are some things

He won't be able to wait even a minute."

Lu Mingfei said in his heart Chu Zihang's words are really a bit poking people's lungs, thanks to Caesar's not here, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to make something out again.

"Gentlemen and gentlemen," Caesar said, raising his hand and high-five, "Let's try Hokkaido-style king crab, the best seafood dish in the world."

"I thought you would say second in the world, just a little bit worse than the Italians." Lu Mingfei teased Caesar and began to taste the crab leg meat without hesitation, and the natural and primitive sweetness permeated his mouth.

"Italian men are naturally good cooks, but there is still a gap between them and Japanese when it comes to cooking seafood. Japan is an island country, unsuitable for grazing, and its meat is mainly dependent on seafood, and before the Meiji Restoration, beef was only used at daimyo banquets. They eat by the sea, so all their cooking skills are concentrated into cooking seafood, after all, there is nothing else for them to cook." Caesar talks about his understanding of Japanese cuisine.

Gen Zhisheng's face was expressionless, Caesar's words made it difficult for people to analyze whether he was praising Japan or laughing at Japan, and he didn't bother to analyze, since he couldn't understand, he didn't understand, and if he didn't understand, he wouldn't make a mistake.

Caesar opened a bottle of noble rot and poured four glasses: "The noble rot of Fort Igan, the first choice with lobster and crab."

Caesar raised his glass: "This time our team is complex, and some people are not on the same page, but I hope we don't have infighting before the end of the mission. After completing this mission, we can continue to fight and kill on a free day, spare no effort to kill each other, and have a chance in the future. Let us wish this glass of wine the success of our common mission!"

Taking advantage of this somewhat strange toast, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng drank it all after touching the glass.

"Young Master, we are about to arrive at the Sumeru Seat ahead." The crow walked up behind Gen Zhisheng to report the situation.

Gen turned to the trio, "Now allow me to invite you to enjoy the project of the Rock Flow Research Institute and Maruyama Construction: "The Unsinkable Sumeru."

In front of his finger, the black cloud-covered sea level suddenly lit up, forming an incredible ray of light at the junction of heaven and sea, almost like the sun shining on the sea, in the center of the bright light, you could see the palace floating in the sea, the exquisite pavilion was brightly lit, it was as bright as day, more brilliant than any mirage, the Moniach began to slow down, and slowly sailed into this ingenious sea palace.

"Floating platform?" Caesar was well-informed, and he saw the roots of this thing at once.

"Yes, that's a family-owned project, these offshore floating platforms are suitable for long-term offshore operations, usually used for oil exploration or submarine veins, and although they move slowly, they are able to withstand 12 gale and even tsunami at sea due to their great weight. We call them "Sumeru", and in Buddhism it refers to the pedestal where the Buddha statue or stupa or treasure hall is placed, and they are well-deserved unsinkable seats." Gen Zhisheng's tone of introduction was calm, but it was not difficult to hear his pride, "The family has concentrated all six 'Sumeru' floating platforms here as a base for this deep-sea survey, which is far more reliable than the sinking Lenin, so please don't worry about storms."

Lu Mingfei had to admire the strong energy of the Japanese branch, thinking that when they were in the Three Gorges operation, all the preparations were just a squad and a Moniach, if they didn't go that time, they would probably have to explain all under the Yangtze River, and the Moniach was also attacked by Norton, if it wasn't for Caesar's quick wit to use a torpedo to send Norton flying, their car in this operation is estimated not to be the Moniach.

Even if they are mentally prepared, the degree of attention of the Japanese branch to this mission is still beyond Lu Mingfei's expectations, but this is a good thing, after all, they have another opponent to challenge this time, that is, this sea, the more attention the Japanese branch attaches to it, the safer it will be for them to complete the task...... Probably.

The Moniach extinguished its gas turbines and was dragged into the dock on the floating platform by the chains attached to the hull on both sides, and after the lock was closed, the lights on both sides of the dock turned on in turn, and the men dressed in black stood side by side on both sides of the dock and bowed deeply to the Moniach: "Welcome to the Sumeru Seat of the Young Master!"

The drawbridge descends, and Gen leads the trio to the elevator to the upper floors, escorted by Ravens and Yakshas.

They reached the top of the Sumeru seat, from which you can see that the Sumeru seat is connected by steel cables, and on the top of each floating platform stands men in white combat uniforms, surrounded by all-weather helicopters, which is simply an army waiting to be reviewed.

Yuan Zhisheng took the megaphone from the crow's hand: "I'll leave tonight's matter to you!"

The men on the floating platform responded in unison: "Go all out to complete the task entrusted by the family!" The voices of thousands of people overlapped, overpowering the sound of the tide.

Gen Zhisheng turned around and explained to the trio, "In this operation, the Kansai branch formed the Wind Group, and their job is to inspect the entire sea area from the air, and if anyone wants to disrupt the deep dive, the Wind Group will immediately launch a counterattack, and in addition to driving out unrelated ships."

The crows fired blue flares into the air, and the all-weather helicopters dispersed, constantly illuminating the sea with searchlights.

"The Kanto branch formed a fire team, and they were responsible for fire vigilance. They were armed with small converted marine police boats, equipped with twin-fired large-caliber machine guns and individual missiles, as well as a Type 97 light torpedo. With them guarded, even the cruiser will be dragged down."

Red flares are lifted into the air, locks are opened on floating platforms, and police boats patrol the sea.

"The Wind Demon Clan's elite ninjas have formed the Lin Group, and they have already set up a defense on our perimeter. They are piloted in fishing boats equipped with undersea listening equipment and climate monitoring equipment, and they are responsible for monitoring the situation in the nearby waters, and they will give early warning if the weather deteriorates to a dangerous point."

The crow fired a green flare, the lights flashed from all directions, and the forest group deployed in the distance responded.

"The platform we are on now is the Yamagumi, which I am personally in charge of, and the members of the team are composed of elites from the Rock Flow Research Institute. The job of the mountain team is to directly support the diving work, and the mountain team will be floating in this position for the entire duration of your mission, ready to provide you with rescue and ready to welcome you back." Yuan Zhisheng said, "The family has dispatched a team of 1,000 people to escort your dive, and you don't have to think about all other work except manipulating the deep submersible."

"With such a big investment, is this necessary?" Caesar smoked his cigar, "It's just a diving survey mission, and this preparation is enough for a battle."

"Someone once told me that a teacher who teaches a murderous sword always says to a student who holds a sword for the first time, "Have you decided to hold the hilt?" If you hold it, hold it tightly, and don't let it go, for the day you release the hilt of your sword will be the day you die." "You can understand that this is the Japanese way, everything is a war, and you can only survive if you force yourself to stand on the edge of a cliff forever, and if you take a step back, you will fall into the abyss. This is not to go to the bottom of the sea for sightseeing or to catch coral shells, it may be a fierce creature of the level of the ancient dragon, if it is allowed to rise to the surface, even if the four groups of the Wind Forest and Volcano go all out, they may not be able to wipe it out."

Lu Mingfei's heart sank, this battle has exceeded the point of "attention", the Japanese branch used such a large-scale manpower and material resources, it is not a sentence that can convince him just in case, the so-called "Japanese way" is pure nonsense, the Japanese side does not have the tradition of making a fuss and the habit of wanton profligacy, the Japanese branch still dares to launch such a large formation when there are still internal worries, it can only show one problem, that is, this mission must have some kind of necessity that they have to mobilize so many manpower and material resources.

However, Lu Mingfei or the trio really have limited information, and it is impossible to deduce the real reason behind the Japanese branch doing this, which can only show one thing, that is, the Japanese branch still has some information about this mission that they do not know, and because of this information, they have planned some big moves.

Lu Mingfei thought about it for a while, and somewhat suspected that the Eight Snake Families and their mysterious "internal enemy" might have some kind of game around their mission, and they were likely to have been in the game from the beginning of accepting the mission without knowing it.

I hope that the Japanese branch will pay attention to proportions and not implicate these irrelevant personnel, Lu Mingfei's eyes flashed with a faint sword light.

"That's the Refined Brimstone Bomb, codenamed Peach

Taro," he said, pointing to the refined sulfur bomb lifted by the crane in the shape of a stubby cigar.

"There are thirty minutes left before the scheduled time for the start of the mission, these thirty minutes are free time for you, I suggest you go to the bathroom, after all, the space in the deep submersible is limited, so I can only grieve you."
