Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 368
Two hours later, the Haiwang was the first to leave the Huangpu Wharf with a flute, and the Hailong and Haifeng also left the wharf in turn.

There is still a distance of nearly [-] to [-] kilometers from Huangpu Wharf to the Yangtze River Estuary, and it will take three hours to reach the Yangtze River Estuary according to the speed of the ship at [-] knots.

Qian Xiaobao sat in the cabin and smoked one after another.Lin Zhengjiang snored evenly.

From the moment he fled to Shanghai to join the military commander Lin Zhengjiang, he put his life and death aside.Live an extra day just to work an extra day.

After smoking half a pack of cigarettes, Qian Xiaobao went out of the cabin and stood on the side of the boat looking at the river.

This time, the Neptune, which was originally equipped with hundreds of people to transport food, only came with a dozen people who commanded the driver and were responsible for damage management and maintenance.

Qian Xiaobao stood outside for a long time without seeing anyone.

After another hour, looking towards the bow of the ship, the river gradually widened.

We are almost at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Qian Xiaobao walked into the cabin.Hearing the sound, Lin Zhengjiang slowly opened his eyes.

"Have you reached the mouth of the Yangtze River?" Lin Zhengjiang asked.

"It's almost there, but there are still a few sandbars ahead, and the boat has to go around the sandbars to get close to Chongming Island. You can sleep for another hour." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Lin Zhengjiang rubbed his face with his hands and didn't intend to continue to sleep.

"Did you see the letters that Master Guan sent to his family in the past two years?" Lin Zhengjiang asked.

When they were about to part, the two talked about Guan Xiaoye, their mutual friend.

"I've seen it, and his mother gave me a photo of him in France. But now France has been occupied by Germany, so I don't know how he is now." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Lin Zhengjiang sighed and said: "I have already hid in France, but I still can't hide! What kind of world is this!"

"He should be fine. If it doesn't work, he can go to the Manchukuo embassy in Germany for help. With his father's relationship, he can come back soon." Qian Xiaobao said.

Lin Zhengjiang shook his head: "No, if France can't stay, he will continue to run."

The water in the water glasses on the table swayed differently.

The Neptune began to turn.

Lin Zhengjiang raised his wrist and looked at the small compass on the watch chain.

The Neptune, which had been sailing roughly north, was now turning east.This shows that the Neptune has turned into the channel between Chongming Island and Shazhou.

"It's time to go." Lin Zhengjiang stood up and said.

He checked the holster and clothes to prevent things from falling into the water when he jumped into the river.

Lin Zhengjiang stretched out his hands and patted Qian Xiaobao's shoulder and said, "There will be a period later, brother!"

Qian Xiaobao stretched out his hand and held Lin Zhengjiang's hand tightly.

"Be careful, you have to swim three to four thousand meters after jumping into the water." Qian Xiaobao said.

The two walked out of the cabin and looked up to the north at the same time. There was a dark patch on the river in the distance, and that was Chongming Island.

Looking down again, the ship's side is still four or five meters above the water.

Holding the railing with both hands, Lin Zhengjiang sat straddling it, glanced at Qian Xiaobao and said, "Brother, take care!"

Then Lin Zhengjiang fell backwards.

With a splash, Lin Zhengjiang fell into the river.

Qian Xiaobao hurried to the side of the boat and looked down.

The water splashed, Lin Zhengjiang emerged from the water, and then swam northward.

As it was too dark, the shadows were soon lost.

Qian Xiaobao stood silently in the river wind for a long time.

More than three days later, the Haiwang Hailong and Haifeng arrived in Yingkou.

In the name of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, Qian Xiaobao requisitioned an entire passenger car at the train station to store war supplies.

One hundred baskets of oranges were loaded into the carriage, and more than half of the carriage was empty.

"In two days, the whole carriage is ours." Qian Xiaobao said to Taro Hemoto.

Qian Xiaobao returned to Harbin two days later.He asked Kawamoto Taro and three others to stay at the train station to arrange delivery of oranges to the intelligence department building, and he returned to the intelligence department to report.

Qian Xiaobao walked in the corridor of the intelligence department building after the intelligence department reported on the food transportation.

Qian Xiaobao was surprised to see Ogasawara walking towards him.

"Why are you back? Isn't it two more months?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

The training time for the members of the military police training department is half a year, and it is said that Ogasawara should not come back until at least October.

"The class I taught has ended, so I came back first." Ogasawara replied.

However, when Ogasawara spoke, he turned his head, and Qian Xiaobao knew how to follow him and walked towards Ogasawara's office.

Walking into the office, Ogasawara immediately closed the door.

"Could it be that you caused trouble again, and let the officer call you back and scold you?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Yeah, I got into trouble again. I leapfrogged and sent a report to the base camp, but the bastards in the navy saw the contents, and then used the contents of my report to fight back against those guys in the army." Ogasawara said.

"What makes the officer more angry than this situation? You actually stand on the side of the navy to help outsiders deal with the army!" Qian Xiaobao said.

He really didn't understand what was going on in this guy Ogasawara's head.

Ogasawara's face became gloomy.

"I really can't stand what those stupid pigs are doing. I don't want to see the Great Japanese Empire fall into the abyss!" Ogasawara said angrily.

"What exactly did you write in the report?" Qian Xiaobao asked curiously.

"It's not about the alliance with Germany!" Ogasawara replied.

The matter has been debated for years in two factions in Japan.There was never a consensus.Qian Xiaobao also sent information about this matter to Schultz.

"You are just a small lieutenant, can you take care of such a big matter?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

But this is also a tradition in the Japanese army, and low-level officers often try to participate in national affairs in vain.They can still be violent if the people above don't listen to them.

"Let the people in the army and navy in the base camp continue to quarrel. Maybe even if the quarrel lasts for ten or eight years, there will be no result." Qian Xiaobao said.

Ogasawara shook his head with a depressed expression.

"This matter will come to an end soon." Ogasawara said.

"You came back a day late. The German negotiators Stemmer and Ott were in Harbin yesterday! They arrived here by train via the Trans-Siberian Railway. Today they will visit Xinjing briefly and then go to Dalian to take a boat to Japan .” Ogasawara said.

Qian Xiaobao felt his heart beating faster.This is definitely important information!

"I don't know how long the negotiation will take. Besides, the negotiation may collapse." Qian Xiaobao said.

Ogasawara shook his head and said, "You don't understand! Negotiations at this level must be because the low-level officials have been secretly negotiating for a long time, and have reached consensus on most issues. Now the German negotiators going to Tokyo is just the last nail. Yes! There is no doubt about this matter!"
