Chapter 2700 Did you bring any cigarettes? (Bonus chapter, please follow for more!)

Mingtai was worried about Minglou's safety, so he said solemnly, "Brother, why don't you come with me? Otherwise, I won't leave you here alone."

Seeing Mingtai's stubbornness, Minglou gestured to Mingcheng and said solemnly, "Take them out first. I have something to say to Mingtai, and I don't want anyone to know."

Mingcheng knew that his elder brother was probably going to reveal his identity to Mingtai, so he solemnly said to Cheng Jinyun, Zhaodi, and Kainan, "Please come with me."

Cheng Jinyun and Kai Nan knew that the two brothers had something to say, so they came outside and helped Ming Cheng keep an eye on all directions, worried that someone might sneak in.

After Mingtai left, he said solemnly, "Brother, just say what you need to say. Don't tell me you're my superior in the Military Intelligence Bureau. I know that."

Minglou didn't answer the question. He looked at Mingtai and asked very seriously, "Do you have any cigarettes with you?"

Mingtai initially wanted to say that he didn't smoke, but remembering Uncle Li's instructions when he came, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and say in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I just quit smoking!"

Mingtai could hardly believe his ears. He had always thought his elder brother was a traitor, and it was only because of his own exposure that he learned his elder brother was a member of the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau. He never expected him to have this other identity.

So, after answering Minglou's question, he immediately asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, are you from Yan'an?"

Minglou nodded and continued seriously, "I am now speaking to you on behalf of the Yan'an side, as the leader of the Shanghai underground intelligence group!"

Mingtai's mind was in complete turmoil. He had only recently joined the Yan'an faction after getting together with Cheng Jinyun. But his elder brother, a high-ranking official in the puppet government and a venomous snake in Chongqing, was also from the Yan'an faction!

He realized that Minglou wanted him to leave, but he couldn't care less about anything else now. He said, somewhat agitated, "Are you a high-ranking official in the puppet government, a venomous snake in Chongqing, and now you're telling me you're from the Yan'an area? Tell me how many other identities you have, you haven't made that clear to me!"

Minglou knew that Mingtai was having a hard time accepting this, so he sighed and said, "I'm still your older brother!"

Mingtai was brought back to his senses by the word "big brother," and he said excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Did you think it was funny to treat me like an idiot?"

Minglou understood his brother's feelings, but there was no time to lose. He could only solemnly say, "No matter what identity you assume, you need to leave first. Otherwise, my identity may be exposed at any time. You must carry out orders."

Mingtai knew he was right to leave, but his older brother and sister hadn't left, nor had the person he loved. He was reluctant to leave, so he said bitterly, "Is it really necessary to leave?"

Minglou knew Mingtai's concerns, and not wanting to leave Mingtai with any illusions, he said very seriously, "You absolutely must leave!"

Please tell my older sister for me, take care!

Seeing that Minglou hadn't given in, Mingtai didn't say anything more, turned around, went out the door, and left with Cheng Jinyun in tow!

After Ming left, Ming Lou went to the door and said to Kai Nan, who was chatting with Zhao Di, "Mr. Nan, thank you for saving my brother this time. If you encounter any difficulties in Shanghai in the future, you can come to me."

Kennan was actually forced to save people, but now that there was an unexpected bonus, he didn't hesitate and agreed with a smile.

After Minglou and Mingcheng left, Kainan said reluctantly, "Zhaodi, you're not leaving too, are you?"

Zhao Di smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, from now on I will withdraw from the Military Intelligence Bureau and will just be Zhao Di."

Kennan was overjoyed to hear this, "Then let's have another drink today, I want to celebrate!"

……

Leaving aside their celebration, Wang Yue suddenly encountered someone outside the shipyard.

It turned out that after Wang Manchun was turned, her first task was to find Wang Yue and purchase a large quantity of supplies. Of course, the supplies she purchased were different from those transported by Mingjing, but they were all things needed by the Yan'an direction that were not prohibited from being transported, although large quantities could not be transported.

This is actually the final test for Wang Manchun. Only if she passes it can we trust her.

Wang Manchun knew this, so after she came in person, she had no other way but to find Wang Yue. So she came directly to the shipyard. Unfortunately, because the security was too tight, Wang Manchun couldn't sneak in at all, so she could only approach Wang Yue when he came out.

And sure enough, while Wang Yue was making his final arrangements, Wang Manchun found an opportunity.

When Wang Manchun saw Wang Yue, she asked anxiously, "Mr. Wang, does the deal we agreed on still stand?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course it counts. I can sell you anything that can make money."

Upon hearing Wang Yue's guarantee, Wang Manchun smiled and said, "I've only brought 30% of the payment as a deposit this time. I'll pay you the balance when the goods are delivered. How does that sound?"

Wang Yue had no objection to this, but instead asked curiously, "You went to Yan'an, how come it has changed so much?"

Wang Manchun knew Wang Yue would ask this, so she didn't explain the real reason. She just sighed and said, "I was sent behind enemy lines to see how the guerrillas and the armed forces behind enemy lines fought, and I saw how the Japanese treated civilians. Although I killed people, I think I still have some humanity. Those I killed, even if they weren't intelligence agents, were all working for the puppet government. I think it's okay to kill them; after all, they weren't civilians anymore!"

Wang Yue listened to Wang Manchun's seemingly grand and righteous words, but he immediately understood the real reason.

Wang Yue felt that what Wang Manchun said might only account for 90%, but the remaining 10% was definitely because Wang Manchun was desperate and deliberately pretended to be moved! What could be a more suitable reason than Wang Manchun pretending to be moved by the cruelty of the Japanese devils?
However, Wang Yue saw through it but didn't say anything. Regardless of whether Wang Manchun was truly repentant or not, the fact that Wang Manchun only wanted to turn over a new leaf and seek a way to survive was enough for Wang Yue to complete his task. Of course, he wouldn't force her to do anything else.

So, after Wang Yue got the goods list, he quickly made arrangements. At the same time, under this cover, he also purchased a large quantity of the minerals he needed.

The transportation was handled by three giant cargo ships, each weighing 30,000 tons, built by Jiangnan Shipyard. They went directly to Australia, purchased a large amount of supplies there, and then returned.

They did encounter some patrol ships along the way, but Wang Yue's cargo ship easily spotted the fleet and managed to evade their surveillance by maneuvering, thus completing the mission.

It was only at this point that Wang Manchun informed Wang Yue that he needed to deliver the goods near Wenzhou, which made Wang Yue realize that these supplies were probably meant for General Ye. It seemed that Yan'an was now ready, and it was just a matter of when General Ye would be ready.

However, the official delivery of this shipment secured Wang Manchun's position as the rear transporter of supplies, and she immediately ordered a second batch of goods.

After completing a mission, Wang Manchun became bolder and moved directly to the vicinity of Wang Yue's shipyard in order to hand over the work to Wang Yue more quickly. She also thought that she could take advantage of Wang Yue's shrewdness to escape.

However, Wang Manchun forgot one thing: his defection put Wang Yue in trouble. Although Fujita Yoshimasa and Minami Yoko were killed by Wang Yue, who also purged a large number of their men, temporarily covering up the matter, the arrival of the new head of the Special Higher Police quickly led to the identification of suspects. As a result, a large number of people were dispatched to the shipyard to directly arrest Wang Yue.

Wang Yue had already planted eavesdropping talismans in No. 76 and the Special Higher Police. After receiving the news, he immediately ordered the robots to load up with supplies and take all the ships to evacuate.

They also moved all the shipyard's important facilities to a space, and left several robots on site, each carrying a powerful bomb.

When Wang Manchun learned that the Special Higher Police were rushing to the shipyard, she tried to escape like a frightened bird, but the Special Higher Police took advantage of the situation and began to besiege her.

In the end, Wang Manchun had no choice but to flee towards the vicinity of the shipyard, hoping that Wang Yue could save her.

In fact, Wang Manchun was lurking near the shipyard. If she had told Wang Yue, he might have actually alerted her and saved her life. The problem was that Wang Manchun was afraid of being betrayed by Wang Yue and kept it a secret from everyone.

So, after Wang Manchun retreated to the shipyard, she realized something was wrong. The shipyard was empty, and even the cranes used for shipbuilding in the distance were gone. This gave her a bad feeling. Could it be that Wang Yue had already retreated?
With this thought in mind, Wang Manchun hurriedly ran towards the sea. Her original plan was to steal a small boat, hide at sea, and then go around to another place to land.

When Wang Manchun arrived at the beach where the old dock used to be, she found it even cleaner than her pocket.

Fortunately, since Wang Yue had set up such a large ambush, he was bound to retaliate. He left behind several powerful bombs, which were placed on the armed robots.

The armed robots were ordered by Wang Yue to hold their ground and self-destruct when they could no longer hold their ground. So when the Special High Police entered the shipyard, they were attacked by the robots from all angles.

Therefore, the newly appointed head of the Special Higher Police (THT) immediately sought help from the military police and requested assistance from the local garrison.

Quite by coincidence, intelligence from the Special Higher Police revealed that the Jiangnan Shipyard had several large cargo ships of over 3 tons. So the Navy dispatched two aircraft carrier battle groups to seize these cargo ships, and of course, the shipyard itself was also seized at the same time.

Because these large cargo ships can be converted into small aircraft carriers with slight modifications, which would be very helpful to the navy.

It should be noted that since Japan went to war with the United States, Britain and France, not only have soldiers suffered heavy losses in various places, but also various troop transport ships and naval vessels have suffered severe losses. The manufacturing capacity can keep up, but the mineral resources cannot.

In particular, the US carrier strike groups deployed from other directions have already forced Japanese carriers into a series of defeats, leaving the navy reliant on various islands for defense. Now, the navy urgently needs a large number of ships and has set its sights on Wang Yue's Jiangnan Shipyard.

That's why not only did ships arrive this time, but the entire Special Marine Corps responsible for guarding Shanghai was also transferred here to prevent the boatmen from escaping.

So, just as the Special High Command requested assistance and discovered that the Marine Corps had arrived, they had no choice but to cooperate and advance into the shipyard.

Faced with this situation, the robots left behind by Wang Yue could only put up a stubborn resistance in each room, while the Marines quickly divided and surrounded the area. Unfortunately, the robots reacted too quickly, and they could not break into the building, leaving the Marines with no idea what was going on inside.

The Marines immediately called the Navy, which provided support with artillery from its ships.

Faced with this situation, the two carrier fleets naturally needed to get closer, but something unexpected happened.

Several explosions rang out almost simultaneously, blasting a huge crater within a radius of several hundred meters around the shipyard. The Marines, along with the buildings, were reduced to ashes.

However, before that, the two aircraft carrier fleets on the coast were also directly damaged by electromagnetic pulse cannons mounted on houses on the shore.

The aircraft that had not yet taken off were blown into the sea, and the people on board were all killed by the shock, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Although only a few of the two carrier strike groups were sunk, all the crew members of both groups perished. It is unknown whether this was due to the pulse cannons or the shockwave from the violent explosions.

Wang Yue, of course, discovered the situation here through his robot. He had been hiding from the Japanese fleet using radar, but after noticing the situation, he immediately sailed over.

Just as Minglou and his men hurriedly arrived at the location of the crater created by the explosion, Wang Yue used a teleportation talisman to transfer the robot to the ships of these fleets. The aircraft carrier fleet under his control then left Shanghai again with Wang Yue's cargo ship, heading towards Daliuqiu Island, where he needed to cut off one of Japan's retreat routes.

Originally, with just a few ships, it wasn't enough to control the entire island. But now, with two more aircraft carrier fleets, it was too intimidating. Wang Yue felt that as long as he captured the Japanese ship repair factories in Keelung and Kaohsiung and placed his own shipbuilding equipment there, he could immediately modify these ships.

With these modern aircraft carrier fleets, they are invincible in this era. Wang Yue can not only protect Taiwan, but also completely cut off the Japanese maritime supply lines.
