Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 2029, Things Have Gone Wrong
the world is huge.

Many things happen every day.

Every day, some people succeed. Some people fail.

The laws of heaven and earth.

Even with a system, this is no exception.

At this moment...

Kolkata, 82 Locke Street, an elegant three-story building.

The exterior walls are brightly colored and ornately decorated. However, most of the surrounding buildings are similar, so it's not particularly eye-catching.

The interior of the small villa was very comfortable. The furniture was all European style—luxurious and magnificent, perfectly in line with Zhang Yong's vulgar aesthetic.

In the small hall on the second floor, Zhang Yong listened to Alvis's report with a cold expression.

"We failed."

“The SS Security Service did not accept our intelligence and even scolded us.”

"They also warned us that if we continued like this, they would send someone to replace us."

Alvis looked very frustrated.

Zhang Yong held Tess in his arms, listening absentmindedly.

SS Security Service?

Is it a professional intelligence agency?
What is its relationship with the Gestapo? Who is more powerful?

"Don't worry about them."

Zhang Yong curled his lip, his face showing complete indifference.

Yalvis hesitated, then finally fell silent. He decided to wait for Zhang Yong's decision.

"The Germans will only be around for five years at most."

"So our task now is to make as much money as possible."

"To plunder money from the Germans."

Zhang Yong spoke frankly.

Alvis's eyes widened in disbelief.

Tess, curled up in Zhang Yong's arms, looked up at him in astonishment.

Germans?
Five years of erratic behavior?

Where to start?

The Germans are so powerful now.

They defeated the French. They are about to defeat the British as well.

Well, given the current situation, not many people are optimistic about Britain. They think Britain's demise is only a matter of time.

That Churchill was desperately selling off his family property, using every ounce of his strength to ensure the security of his homeland.

"This is my prediction. Germany has five years left to live."

"Well……"

Alvis remained silent.

I remembered it, but I didn't believe it. I didn't believe it at all.

The Germans are on a roll now, their air force is bombing the British Isles like crazy, and they could land at any moment.

And then you tell me it only has a five-year lifespan? Are you kidding me...

"Send new intelligence to the SS Security Service."

"it is good……"

Alvis began taking notes.

Zhang Yong slowly and methodically explained the intelligence he needed to provide.

First, let's talk about the exercise.

This exercise is very large in scale and should be the last exercise before the mission.

Before long, all the Commonwealth troops assembled in India will head to North Africa or Europe to directly intervene in the war.

"Important reminder: the Italian army is very weak and cannot hold out."

"Please form the African Legion as soon as possible."

"In addition, please have the SS Security Service pay special attention to a Chinese man named Zhang Yong."

"This Zhang Yong is brilliant and resourceful, farsighted, strategic, handsome, wealthy, and refined..."

Tilted head.

What other words have a positive connotation?

It's almost finished piling up.

So, please send someone of importance to me as soon as possible.

If you send someone to me, I will definitely help you sink more British warships.

However, if you are arrogant and unwilling to deal with me, that would be a great pity.

Bismarck...

Tirpitz...

Come and beg me, and I can save them.

I can let them bloom to their fullest.

Sword energy stretches across 30,000 miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces.

It will absolutely not be sunk on its first voyage.

hey-hey……

"what?"

Alvis was a bit slow-witted.

No, does this last one even count as intelligence? Boasting and arrogance...

To boast about oneself to this extent, without even blushing...

See you soon.

Of course, I only dared to mutter it to myself.

"Also, report on the situation of the Japanese submarines," Zhang Yong continued.

The last report about the submarine revealed it actually belonged to the French, not the Germans. This caused a drop in the SS Security Service's credibility.

But it's okay. Making one mistake isn't a big deal. Intelligence is inherently a mix of truth and falsehood.

To obtain more detailed intelligence, we must increase our investment. This is commonly known as "paying money."

How can you gather intelligence without money? Ask around on the street? Nonsense!

Let the head of state use a cane to find out for himself!

"it is good."

Jarvis recorded everything.

There were also some actions by the French.

All of this information is accurate.

Report everything at once.

Is this considered a leak of secrets?
Calculate.

But there were no consequences.

Because these things can't be hidden anyway.

The only thing the Dillam team could do was send it out before anyone else.

Then I checked the world map.

I randomly selected the locations of a few British battleships and sent them out.

is that useful?
It's probably not very useful.

The German Navy was really weak.

They were completely restricted.

Especially for surface ships, it's difficult for them to even get out and breathe.

As soon as German surface ships left the Baltic Sea, they would be relentlessly attacked by British warships.

It's said that wolf pack tactics were invented by the Germans. Actually, they were invented by the British.

It concerns the wolfpack tactics used by battleships and cruisers. Once German surface ships are spotted, they swarm in and tear them apart.

That's how the Bismarck was taken down by a mob.

The German Navy's surface ships were actually of decent quality; the problem was simply that there were too few of them.

Large warships, in particular, were almost always fighting alone. They simply couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught of enemy warships that outnumbered them several times over.

The quantity was too small, and the consequences were too severe.

Without increasing the number of ships, the situation in the war is unlikely to change.

Let alone a reversal. Even a slight improvement would be difficult.

Finished.

Farewell.

Back to Gold Rush Bay Port.

Nothing major is happening for now.

The air force command map showed that the Japanese submarine was still heading northwest.

A very strange course.

It did not cross the northern Indian Ocean.

It seems they still intend to drive along the coastline.

"Is this the first time?"

"Prior to this, Japanese submarines had never actually been to Germany."

"German submarines have indeed reached the East China Sea..."

Zhang Yong made a bold prediction.

This was the first time the Japanese submarine had ventured so far, so it dared not wander off.

The safest strategy is to stay as close to the coastline as possible. If you encounter danger, you can also run ashore.

Germany and the Japanese invaders were ultimately too far apart.

The plane couldn't reach it.

The surface ships cannot move.

Ultimately, the only way was to sneak around using submarines.

But now, this Japanese submarine is under their surveillance. Escape is impossible.

View the map of the air force headquarters.

Amanda's three Fantasy-class destroyers are still far away.

They travel at a cruising speed of 30 knots per hour, which is about 50 kilometers per hour.

Even if it takes a whole day to walk, it's only 1200 kilometers.

It will take a little over two days...

He calculated the time, waiting for the destroyer to arrive so he could personally pilot a P-38 fighter jet to the scene to take command.

Capture as many Japanese submarines as possible and seize the gold on board.

"report!"

It was precisely at this time that the lady arrived in Calcutta.

According to the plan, she and Song Ziyu will fly from Kolkata to Kunming, officially returning to China.

Out of courtesy, Zhang Yong led over a hundred officers to greet them at the train station.

Commander Qian accompanied him throughout the entire process.

"Shaolong, Madam wishes you to pilot the plane yourself."

"it is good."

Zhang Yong said no problem.

I'm not really comfortable entrusting this matter to someone else.

Song Ziyu was also on the plane.

His own son was also there.

Only when he personally pilots the plane can the safety level be 100%, because there is a system to protect him.

So arrangements were made.

The flight took off on time the next morning.

I flew directly from Kolkata to Kunming. I finally landed safely in Kunming.

Long Yun, of course, came to greet him with a large group of high-ranking officials. A grand welcome banquet was also held that evening.

We spent the night in Kunming and took off again the next morning. We arrived in Chongqing.

The bald man arrived with a large group of officials to greet him.

Zhang Yong was very careful and had not yet detected any danger.

That evening, a grand banquet was held at the Huangshan official residence to welcome the lady back to China.

Zhang Yong was also present. He stayed at the Huangshan official residence that night, spending two tender days with Song Ziyu. They were reluctant to part.

They were, after all, a legally married couple. And having been separated for so long, they were naturally exceptionally affectionate.

Your adventure experience has increased.

Your strength +1

[Air Command Map Upgrade]

[Achieved: 7-hour flight radius]

Suddenly, a system notification appeared.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?
That's weird. You can level up like that?
Sleeping with your wife counts as an increased adventure?

But upgrading is certainly a good thing.

A seven-hour flight. Approximately three thousand kilometers.

With the emergence of more and more aircraft models in various countries, the average speed is getting faster and faster.

It seems that the top speed of the P-40 fighter jet has exceeded 600 kilometers per hour.

The air force command map shows a radius of 3000 kilometers, which is a very long distance. However, the disadvantage is that the details are not very clear.

This is determined by the laws of nature. The larger the display area and the more information there is, the fewer details one can notice.

Unless you pay special attention or receive a system notification, you're bound to miss a lot of information.

However, if you pay attention and look closely, you can find it.

Overall, it's definitely a good thing.

Especially on the vast ocean, the air force map is incredibly useful.

Even if the enemy is equipped with radar, under current technological conditions, the effective radius of a radar is no more than 3000 kilometers.

and so……

The advantage still lies with me.

After spending three days together, they finally set off to return.

After all this back and forth, six days have passed.

When he returned to Calcutta, he found that the situation on the sea had changed significantly.

Japanese submarines had reached the vicinity of Sri Lanka's east coast. However, Amanda's destroyer force was still circling in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

There was nothing she could do; she didn't have radar. She couldn't find the target.

There were no aircraft for reconnaissance.

The vast ocean makes it easy for submarines to hide.

Activate the 5C (Global) Communications Center. Establish contact with the Amanda Fleet.

“Mr. Commissioner…”

"The target submarine has reached the east coast of Sri Lanka."

"receive."

"Adjust your course to 280 and head west to get closer to your target."

"receive."

Amanda immediately ordered the fleet to turn around.

At the same time, all three destroyers were ordered to increase their speed to over 40 knots.

As expected, it still took the specialist to handle it.

We must catch the target.

Once we catch them, victory is a foregone conclusion.

The enemy only has one submarine. We, on the other hand, have three destroyers.

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

The destroyer began to accelerate.

The power output was frantic. The speed gradually exceeded 35 knots.

It was very bumpy.

Splashing waves.

It looks like a wild horse galloping across the sea.

At such high speeds, most warships couldn't withstand it. But the Fantasy-class could.

The Fantasy-class was equipped with the most advanced boilers and engine room in France. Its maximum speed was over 45 knots.

This speed is not an instantaneous speed. It is the average speed over three hours.

If it's instantaneous speed, it can even exceed 50 knots.

Of course, it will damage the ship's hull.

The surging waves of the ocean are still quite frightening.

Even the strongest dragon bones of later generations sometimes couldn't withstand it. Let alone now?
"Drip!"

"Drip!"

The system issued a red alert.

The Amanda fleet is moving too fast. The chances of something going wrong are high.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?
The system can also warn you about speeding?
It seems that the system takes good care of its own products.

If you get sunk in combat, there's nothing to say. But if it's due to non-combat casualties, then it's not worth it.

Speeding...

Surging waves...

The keel broke...

The 5C (Global) Communications Center has been relaunched.

Connect to the Amanda fleet.

“Mr. Commissioner…”

"Just maintain a speed of 30 knots. No need to rush."

"Roger that!"

"The target submarine's speed is only about 5 knots. You can easily catch up with it."

"clear."

Amanda then ordered a slowdown.

Eventually, the fleet's speed returned to around 30 knots, placing it in its comfort zone.

Only then did Zhang Yong feel relieved enough to end the call.

"Commissioner".

Tess arrived quietly.

It is said that Jálvez received a reply from Berlin.

"How to say?"

"They still scolded us severely, saying that we fabricated intelligence, which was utterly absurd."

"is it?"

Zhang Yong gave a slight, cold smile.

Sure enough, those SS idiots. They were all pig-headed.

The capable high-ranking German officers were all in the Wehrmacht. The SS were just a bunch of mindless fanatics.

These people can do bad things. But fighting a war is truly terrible. And yet, Hillary trusted them.

Therefore, Old Xi's loss was not unjust. Like Bald Wang, he brought it on himself.

ignore.

Tilted head.

Thoughtful.

Actually, he hoped the German navy could be a little stronger.

Yes, just a little bit stronger would be good. That would make the Atlantic Ocean even more exciting. Naval battles would break out more frequently.

Instead of the British Navy dominating and overwhelming the German Navy, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

Even a back-and-forth battle once or twice would be fine!

Ugh……

[Naval Shipyard +1]

[Acquiring data on the Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers]

[Data acquisition complete]

[Production is currently being scheduled (5 vessels)...]

Suddenly, another message arrived from the system.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?
what?
He suddenly stood up.

Raise your eyebrows!

I'm dizzy!

What does "system" mean?
Don't scare me...

That was a Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser!
What are you going to do?
copy?

Production?

Five ships?

faint!
This is really intense. Absolutely incredible.

intolerable.

useless.

I broke out in a cold sweat...

"What happened to you?"

Tess asked curiously, her face full of concern.

She now completely relies on Zhang Yong. He is indispensable to her.

"fine……"

"fine……"

Zhang Yong muttered to himself. He slowly sat down.

Calm.

Calm.

The system simply queues production.

It hasn't actually been produced yet. Don't be so nervous.

However, starting with the Scharnhorst, a 30,000-ton displacement vessel, really seems to want to stir up trouble!

If so many battlecruisers were given to the German Navy, the North Atlantic would certainly become incredibly lively.

sweat……

Is this really okay?
Does this disrupt the balance? Isn't this over-enhancing?
Or perhaps we should keep a low profile?
However, this is not possible.

This battlecruiser is indeed very eye-catching.

The British are certainly keeping a close eye on it. Its appearance will attract countless wolves.

The destroyers are numerous but small in size, and their overall combat capability is average.

It cannot determine the fundamental outcome of the battlefield.

After all, the full-load displacement of the Fantasy-class destroyer is only three thousand tons.

However, this Scharnhorst battlecruiser has a full-load displacement of over 30,000 tons!

They are two completely different concepts.

There are also three triple-mounted 283mm main guns. A total of nine main guns.

If all five ships are deployed together...

Or perhaps they should split up...

For the British, this was an absolutely deadly threat.

This has gotten out of hand.

This has gotten out of hand.

This time it's really serious.

However, despite the tension, I couldn't suppress my excitement.

If five "unidentified" Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers have indeed entered the North Atlantic...

"what……"

“Be gentle…”

Tess suddenly begged for mercy in a low voice.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?
Bow down.

Oh, I used too much force.

They treated her like a toy, manipulating her at will.

In his excitement, he almost crushed her.

Take a deep breath.

Force yourself to calm down.

That's all for later. We'll talk about it later.

For now, we should patiently wait for Amanda to catch up with the Japanese submarine before launching an attack.

Insufficient energy

Sorting failed.

[Currently acquiring data on the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers]

[Data retrieved successfully]

[Production is currently being scheduled (10 vessels)...]

[Expected to be deployed in 1942]

There is more system information.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?
What do you mean?
A rollercoaster ride?

So, there are no more battlecruisers?

Unable to produce?

Are there only heavy cruisers now?

He died before he could even begin; in the blink of an eye, the hen turned into a duck.
It took a moment for my thoughts to return to normal.

Calm.

Calm.

Heavy cruisers are actually quite good.

At least not as eye-catching as a battlecruiser.

Although the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers were themselves behemoths, belonging to the heavyweight class.

As a cruiser, it has a full-load displacement of up to 18000 tons.

It is equipped with eight 203mm main guns.

All other cruisers are like little brothers compared to it.

However, the fatal flaw is the same: the number is too small. Only three ships.

If ten more ships are really added...

Wow!
The North Atlantic is absolutely bustling.

If you add your own remote control command, the scene would be...

I can't even imagine how amazing it will be.

Churchill probably couldn't even hold a cigar properly.

The issue is--

The distance is too far.

How do we give commands?
The air force command map shows a radius of only 3000 kilometers.

The world map can be displayed. But...

Oh, no buts.

As long as you avoid the British battleships and aircraft carriers, you'll be fine.

We're not afraid of any other cruisers or destroyers.

Fortunately, the world map displays aircraft carriers and battleships, allowing for effective avoidance.

You can't win a head-on confrontation. But you can use guerrilla tactics.

The battlefront was stretched across the entire Atlantic.

It could even be pulled to the Indian Ocean.

what.

Lest the world be in chaos.

I, Zhang Yong, am not a chosen one.

But I can make this world even more chaotic...
