The second half of the night. Bleak wind and cold rain.

Hangzhou seems to be particularly rainy.

The smoke and rain of the West Lake in later generations are talking about the three months of spring.

It's wonderful......

Poetic......

However, for Zhang Yong, his memory is only bleak and cold. There's also the irritating mud.

There was muddy water everywhere. Or mud. One foot deep and one foot shallow.

There are many places where it is not possible to drive.

If the wheel gets stuck in it, several people can't push it out.

It is necessary to prepare some straw in the car from time to time. Or stones. In case of a car trap.

"Team leader, just ahead."

"Okay."

Zhang Yong raised the telescope and observed silently in the dark night.

He was called out of the bed. Braving the cold wind and drizzle, rushed to the suburbs. It is said that Sun Dingyuan's traces were found here.

It is said that some people also saw a few foreigners. It could be the five Britons.

Who the hell found out. I don't know. Anyway, the intelligence was transferred to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong came overnight.

Squatting in the bleak wind and cold rain.

The map shows that 300 meters away, inside a high-walled compound, there are many white spots. All have weapon markings. There is also the gold mark.

But there are no red dots. It means that there are no Japanese invaders here.

It may indeed be Sun Dingyuan's gang.

Possibly, Sun Dingyuan is here. But it could also be a stand-in.

Qu Tie's words, Zhang Yong finally believed it.

Sun Dingyuan is cunning and rabbit in three holes, and it is really not surprising that there are seven or eight stand-ins.

Theoretically, Sun Dingyuan should have controlled the five Britons. After all, this is the best hostage.

Those Britons are probably not fuel-efficient lamps either. MI7's. Can it be good stubble?

If they have infighting, nature is the best.

The committee was worried that the foreigner would die, and he was protested by the foreign minister. Zhang Yong didn't care.

Dead is dead. You went to China by yourself and engaged in some illegal activities. In case of death, we will be responsible, how can there be such a reason.

Before, he had to Qu Tie fake the show and really kill Takashi Takeshita. Apparently uneasy and well-intentioned.

For the British, it would be better to let the Chinese drag the Japanese. So that the Japanese did not have time to infringe on the interests of the British.

If Takashi Takeshita was really killed, the Sino-Japanese contradictions intensified, and the Japanese invaded China with all their might, then they would definitely not be able to interfere with Britain.

This has always been the case with the appeasement policy of the British.

It's all about sacrificing others and preserving their own interests.

Therefore, how is it possible that Lao Chiang is counting on British and American mediation? People want you to fight the Japanese to the death.

…… Far away.

The international situation has nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to catch Sun Dingyuan now. Then squeeze out the oil.

A stand-in has three thousand dollars. What about the Lord? At least $30,000. Full of yearning......

However, the map shows that the white dots are crowded in one pile.

Someone sentry.

Be very vigilant.

It's all quiet. The terrain is open nearby. Bystanders can't approach it covertly.

Here again, it is a suburb. The sky is big. You can retreat at any time. Then they scattered into the four fields. Then it disappeared without a trace.

The reason why Sun Dingyuan did not run away immediately. It's because he hasn't given up on his goal yet.

He's going to the United States. His target is the United States.

Unless it is a last resort. He doesn't hide in the countryside.

It's miserable......

Someone else may be warm in the house. They were outside in the wind and rain.

Luckily, there are plenty of empty houses nearby. Zhang Yong picked a few rooms and brought people to live in them. That's when I feel better.

It was unexpectedly discovered that one of the houses was actually equipped with a telephone. When I picked up the phone, I found that the phone line actually worked.

What a bonus.

Immediately call the number provided by Qu Tie earlier.

I can get through.

But no one answered.

Look at the time, it's past three o'clock in the morning.

Hey.

It's past three o'clock in the morning......

Get it all up!

I, Zhang Yong, are busy working outside, don't even think about sleeping!

"Toot ......"

"Toot ......"

Keep the phone ringing.

If you hang up automatically, you can continue to play.

Keep playing......

Three times......

Four ......

Zhang Yong is not in a hurry. Use directly as a nuisance call.

On the other end of the phone, it was a Britishman. Hehe. Get up.

Finally......

"Who?"

Someone answered the phone.

Chinese is quite standard. But with a severe irritability.

Understandable. The phone rang at three o'clock in the morning, and anyone would be angry. Not to mention harassing phone calls? However, this is what Zhang Yong wants!

"It's me." Zhang Yong said loudly.

"Who is you?" The other party is impatient.

"We've had deals." Zhang Yong responded coldly.

"What deal?" The other person's tone gradually began to slow down.

Zhang Yong was silent.

What is the deal?

Worst......

I didn't think about it before.

However, he soon had content.

"Project Zeus, do you want to know?" Zhang Yong said slowly.

"What's the plan?" The other party is confused.

"The Japanese are going to build the largest battleship in the world, you know?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Raven."

Zhang Yong temporarily found a code name for himself.

Before the words came out, I immediately regretted it. What a crow. Bad luck. How did you come up with such a tasteless nickname.

Alas, it's really terrible to be uneducated......

"I don't know who you are."

"But I know who you are. Go and tell MI7 that I have a very important piece of information that your Lord Chancellor, Mr. Churchill, needs so much. If you miss it, Mr. Churchill will kick you in the ass. ”

"Who the hell are you?"

The other party was a little annoyed. I was a little confused.

I thought it was a prank. However, Churchill's name was mentioned again.

Winston Churchill is now the Lord of the Royal Navy. Dominate the Royal Navy. The Japanese are going to build the world's largest battleship? Says who?

Oh, the Zeus Project......

The other party turned out to be peddling information.

"Displacement."

"Much larger than your King George V-class battleship."

"The caliber of the main gun?"

"Also much larger than your King George V-class battleship."

"Speed?"

"More than thirty knots."

"You're talking nonsense."

"You don't believe it?"

"No one's battleship can be better than our Royal Navy's!"

"But ......"

"Smack!"

The other party hung up the phone.

Zhang Yong is not angry. Hold the microphone. The corners of his mouth sneered slightly.

What a big breath.

The sun never sets on the empire.

I thought I was the best in the world!

No one's battleship could be better than the Royal Navy's. Hehe.

What is the displacement of your Prince of Wales? 40,000 tons. How much does the Yamato have a displacement, 70,000 tons. Almost twice as many as you.

The caliber of the main gun of the Yamato was 460 mm. Your Prince of Wales is only 356 mm.

That's 100 mm smaller than others!

There is also a difference in speed.

But Zhang Yong perfectly understands the pride of this Englishman.

After all, the British can only see some of the glory of the past on the ocean.

Battleships are the lifeblood of the British.

Even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, it must be constantly built. to ensure superiority on the ocean.

Especially after the German Navy's shipbuilding plan came out, Churchill did not dare to underestimate it. His basic principle is three to one. Three to one.

It was the Germans who built one battleship, and the British who built three against the standard.

Churchill's gaze, however, always ignored the East. Ignoring the Japanese. I didn't expect the Japanese to be so crazy.

In terms of pure technology, all the data of the Yamato were killed by British and American battleships in seconds.

Objectively speaking, the Japanese invaders do have a considerable level.

Silently put the microphone down. Wait for more than ten seconds. Then pick it up and continue dialing the phone number you just called.

No one listened?

Don't want to hear it?

Never mind. Long nights and no intention of sleeping......

Outcome......

It was found that there was only a busy tone.

Good guy, it turns out that the other party picked up the microphone. I can't get in.

Made. Zhang Yong scolded stupidly.

When you catch this damn foreigner, hammer his hand first......

I didn't believe what I said!

Suddenly, there was movement in the compound.

A man came out of the compound. Alone. With weapon markings. But there is no gold mark.

Stealthy.

Glitter shrinks.

Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed. What is this guy going to do? Want to run on your own?

It's definitely not a good thing to run out quietly alone!

Most of the time, I want to run alone.

Okay, send it to the door.

Keep a close eye on movements.

Gradually, the telescope finally saw a little bit. It's a man with long hair. The judgment is a man. The kind of art masters of later generations. Slovenly. Bearded Bazaar. The kind with a full beard. To put it mildly, it's rough. To say that it doesn't sound good is to be sloppy.

Instead of heading towards the fields outside, he tried to return to the city.

That's interesting. Just to catch.

Arrange it now.

The target cautiously groped his way forward. In the dark, he walked slowly.

On the contrary, Zhang Yong has the help of a map and can avoid all dangers. Scurry. It doesn't feel that cold anymore. Successfully go around to the front of the target.

However, due to the relatively open terrain around us, it is impossible to plot behind your back and fight with a stick.

The only way is to block the other party first.

What if the target shoots? That can't be helped. Only to shoot back and kill him.

Will the gunshots alarm the other bandits in the compound?

I can't take care of it. Shocked by surprise.

Let's clean up this guy in front of me first. Maybe you don't have to use a gun?

When the target entered an open space, Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Immediately someone came out from behind, from the side.

The bearded man heard footsteps and hurriedly turned back. Then I found myself surrounded.

In the faint light, the muzzle of the black hole is seen.

"Friend, don't move." Zhang Yong popped out half of his head from behind the broken wall and said loudly, "We only need money, not life." ”

"Which way are you friends?" The bearded man was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his hand.

This gesture indicates that he has no intention of drawing a gun. Don't get me wrong.

Obviously, he understands the rules of the rivers and lakes. If you take the risk of pulling out a gun, you will end up in a hornet's nest.

The other party can shoot him with a random shot, and he will be smashed.

"The Gators." Zhang Yong was not ashamed.

"You guys?" The bearded man has a very strange look. Doubt. Unbelievable. Absurd.

"Yes. We're from the Gators. ”

"Me too."

". Do you dare to fake? ”

"I'm the leader of the Crocodiles. My name is Wu Baishun. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Yong: ......

The other party is actually the leader of the Crocodile Gang?

Made. And he pretended to be the head of the righteous lord? This world is so small!

But......

Never mind. It's all trifles.

Zhang Yong said coldly: "Since you are the leader of the crocodile gang, what are you doing with Sun Dingyuan?" ”

"What Sun Dingyuan?" Wu Baishun shook his head, "You may have misunderstood." ”

"I wasn't mistaken. You must be in the same league as Sun Dingyuan. The compound you left just now was Sun Dingyuan's people. ”

"It's not. They are Chu Jingliang's subordinates. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yong felt that something was wrong.

Is it really a mistake? To arrest Sun Dingyuan, but to catch Chu Jingliang?

Faint!

Who gave the information?

It won't be someone who takes the opportunity to attack the east and west, and turn the tiger away from the mountain!

Perhaps, it was Sun Dingyuan who was a ghost?

Sun Dingyuan lured him to the suburbs, and then he got out of his shell?

Grass!

Fooled!

These old guys are really cunning and cunning!

I was in vain here in the suburbs for hours. Maybe now, Sun Dingyuan has escaped from Hangzhou City.

Alas......

I really can't fight these veterans!

It's probably too late to go back now.

Never mind......

Next time.

If you really can't catch it, forget it. Don't push yourself. After all, after all, the ability is limited. It can't be that everything is done perfectly.

How much can be done.

How much can be fished.

Go with the flow.

Contentment.

"What are Chu Jingliang's people doing inside?"

"Discuss the transportation of grain."

"What transports grain."

"They are going to transport 100,000 tons of grain to Tianjin Wei."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Help escort the boat."

"Shipping or shipping?"

"Sea freight."

"He has so many ships?"

"It was shipped by Haichang."

"Wen Zhenping?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Sure enough, inside the Japanese spy, a closed loop has been formed.

If you need food, find Chu Jingliang.

Need to be shipped, find Wen Zhenping.

It doesn't need to go through other people's hands. It will be able to smoothly transport food security to Tianjin Wei.

In fact, daring to go by sea has fully demonstrated that Wen Zhenping is not simple.

Outside, in the sea, there were Japanese warships. It will be intercepted and checked at any time. If you don't cooperate, you'll be sunk.

The Japanese had many destroyers patrolling the coast of China. Specifically blockade the coastline. If it is not a foreign ship, or a ship licensed by the Japanese, it cannot be passed.

Don't look at those destroyers, they are all old antiques with a displacement of about 1000 tons. However, in the face of civilian ships, it is still a zenith star-like existence. None of the 127 mm guns were used, and they were sunk directly with small-caliber machine guns. So, no one dares to take risks.

The ships of the Liao family only dared to go along the coastline, from Hangzhou to Shanghai. Once you leave this route, there is a danger.

Those merchant ships from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, or to other places, must have a more or less official background. Or maybe it's a bit of a foreign background.

Alas, it's all tears. The weakness of the national strength is the result of being bullied by others in this way.

Is there 100,000 tons of grain in Hangzhou?

Of course.

Suzhou and Hangzhou were originally the land of fish and rice.

There has always been a saying that Suhu is ripe and the world is full. Hangzhou is also among them.

"Who else is in there?"

"I don't know a lot of people."

"Then what did you do when you ran out alone?"

"I ......"

Wu Baishun was silent.

Obviously, this question is difficult to answer.

He didn't want to tell the truth. However, it is difficult to hide Zhang Yong's lies.

In case you are caught lying, the situation will be terrible.

"I want to tell ......," Wu Baishun said slowly.

"Sue whom?" Zhang Yong's expression did not move.

"I don't know."

"You haven't thought about it?"

"Yes."

"Why snitch?"

"I feel that this Chu Jingliang seems to have a problem......"

"What's the problem?"

"He could be a lackey of the Japanese."

"How do you feel?"

"100,000 tons of grain, transported from Hangzhou to Tianjin Wei, must be sold to the Japanese!"

"Not necessarily."

Zhang Yong said slowly.

Before, Zhang Yong also thought so.

The Japanese were short of food, so they had to take it from China.

However, in northern China, grain production was insufficient. And there was no surplus grain to sell to the Japanese.

Grain had to be transported from the south.

"By the way, there is a person from the three eastern provinces. I suspect he was sent by the puppet Manchukuo. ”

"What's your name?"

He introduced himself and said his name was Wang Shen.

"Wang Shen."

Zhang Yong remembered the name.

Puppet Manchukuo, that's so rich! He loved it.

The last time I caught Yoshiko Kawashima, I wanted to blackmail her, but I didn't expect someone above to put her back.

It's a pity......

Now that someone has delivered it to the door, then take it all.

This nest of Japanese spies, including Chu Jingliang and Wang Jichang, are all big fish. Just knock on and you'll have a good income.

"The consignee of the grain is Wang Shen."

"Go on."

"He's making a pretty high price."

"How tall?"

"Eighteen oceans per stone. Tianjin Wei Port Settlement. ”

"Is it high?"

"In Hangzhou, a stone of good rice only takes nine oceans. That's double the price! ”

"Is it cash out?"

"Of course."

"Uh......"

Zhang Yong always felt that something was wrong.

Coming from later generations, he is very sensitive to fraud. All sorts of scams immediately come to mind.

Transporting grain from Hangzhou to the north, the price doubled. Sounds very beautiful. There is also the ocean that is now knotted. It is estimated that all merchants are willing.

Including Liao Panxi. She is also a businessman. Merchants are also profit-seeking.

However, if the grain was transported to Tianjin Wei, the other party did not want it. And then it was buckled again, what should I do?

That's the street. It is equivalent to losing a large number of goods in vain.

100,000 tons of grain, when it gets there, it's 3.6 million oceans! Wang Shen has so many oceans?

However, Zhang Yong has little research on the economy. It is impossible to sort out the cost-profit relationship in a short period of time.

Whether it's a scam or anything, catch Wang Shen first.

"Let's go!"

"Thank you."

Wu Baishun turned to leave.

Zhang Yong took people to the compound.

Since he is not Sun Dingyuan's subordinate, then he is welcome.

Chu Jingliang......

Lao Tzu is looking for you.

Walk over with the team.

The sentry outside the door immediately noticed. "Who are you? What to do? ”

"I'm from the Secret Service of the Renaissance Society. My name is Zhang Yong. Tell Wang Shen to come out. Zhang Yong named his name. What he was looking for was someone from the puppet Manchukuo.

Soon after, a middle-aged man appeared. The appearance is unremarkable.

When he saw Zhang Yong, he was also calm. Apparently not taking it to heart.

"Boss Wang." Zhang Yongpi didn't smile.

"Team Leader Zhang, visiting late at night, what are you doing?" Wang Shen asked slowly.

"I have something to look for Boss Wang. Please come with me. ”

"What's the matter with you? Say it here. ”

"Let's find another place to say. It's not convenient to say here. ”

"You're right here."

"Wang Shen, don't toast or eat and drink."

"Team Leader Zhang, I've heard of your name too. However, I am not afraid. ”

"Really?"

The corner of Zhang Yong's mouth sneered.

Suddenly something didn't feel right.

A red dot appears on the edge of the map. Flashing.

In an instant, Zhang Yong was full of excitement.

There is danger.

Sniper!

Without thinking, Zhang Yong immediately lay down.

The action is incredibly fast.

His consciousness told him very clearly that he was ambushed. It's a Japanese sniper!

It's a trap.

He was fooled again.

The so-called intelligence was definitely arranged by the Japanese invaders. The purpose is to draw him here.

The terrain is open, making it ideal for sniping.

And then......

It felt like something was passing by.

It was as if something had been rubbed against the back of his left shoulder.

Nothing to feel.

It's just a moment.

It may be that the bullet is flying too fast, and his body, as well as his brain, has not yet had time to judge the severity of the wound.

Made......

Sniped......

It's the second time......

Grass......

I didn't catch the other party last time and let the other person run, but I came back the second time.

However, he was anxious to arrest Sun Dingyuan and fell into the trap set by the Japanese invaders.

Made......

Almost hung up.

But it didn't hang.

There is still a chance.

Teether. Swear. This Japanese sniper must be killed today.
