The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not." Captain Tanaka said helplessly, "You can contact the relevant information code experts to verify it, and you will know the truth at a glance."

"I still say the same thing, it's better to let us do it, otherwise, everyone will be in danger," he added.

After saying this, Captain Tanaka stopped talking. No matter how Wang Bo and others asked, he remained silent.

Wang Bo even deliberately said some provocative words, trying to anger Captain Tanaka and Vice Captain Nakamura in order to detect their flaws.

"If we are going to be finished, you will be the first to be finished. Don't think threatening us will work. I don't believe that you really don't know the key ahead!"

"Are you afraid of being blamed by Hiramo Jiro, so you dare not speak? You brought this upon yourselves. If you had spoken nicely from the beginning and not done anything behind your back, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Isn't the Dongshan Army Team the most elite team in Japan? Is this all fake? Is your ranking fake, earned by spending money?"

"In fact, you are just an ordinary army, not even as good as an ordinary squad. Why are you still called the Dongshan Army Squad? You might as well change your name to the Incompetent Squad!"

These words were extremely insulting, not only targeting Captain Tanaka and Vice Captain Nakamura, but also an attack on the entire Toyama Army squad, and even vaguely questioned the strength of the Neon Country’s army.

Any Japanese soldier would be angry to hear such words, let alone the elite among the elites like Captain Tanaka. Their patriotism is stronger than that of ordinary people, and they have sworn allegiance to Japan since the day they joined the army.

Therefore, this was a great insult to them. Captain Tanaka and Vice Captain Nakamura looked ferocious and almost lost control. However, the last bit of reason stopped them. They understood that these words did not mean anything, and if they got angry, it would play into the enemy's hands.

They could only comfort themselves in their hearts and try their best to suppress the surging anger. The red bloodshot in their eyes seemed to be about to burst, but they could only endure it silently. Although this cover-up was not smart, there was no better way.

They could not explode in silence, so they could only choose to remain silent. No matter how Wang Bo ridiculed and mocked them, they remained indifferent, and even closed their eyes and refused to respond.

Wang Bo was so exhausted from talking that he didn't get the answer he wanted, so he had to stop. He felt a little helpless and didn't know what to do next. The decision still had to be made by Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao. So he asked for their advice.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao, what do you think? They don't look like they are lying. How about we give it a try first?"

"Indeed, asking further won't yield any new results. For now, let's just leave it at that. Let's try this code first."

"Let's put aside whether it's a lie or not. We have no evidence and we don't know much about this field. It's pointless to continue to be in a stalemate like this. It's a waste of time. Instead of wasting time, let's study the contact information first."

Wang Bo and others expressed their opinions one after another. On this issue, they reached a consensus: crack the contact information first.

As for the authenticity of the code, they could only know it by trying it. Although they did not understand this field, there were many experts in Kyushu who could help them. Moreover, the communication system on their warship was intact, and they could contact Kyushu headquarters at any time to pass the code to experts and technicians.

The wisdom and knowledge of just a few of them are limited, but if all the experts in Kyushu's research department are mobilized, they believe that this method of communication cannot be conquered.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao nodded in agreement.

Indeed, instead of constantly questioning Captain Tanaka, it would be more reliable to seek help from domestic experts and technicians.

After all, they couldn't lie about something like this.

Captain Tanaka and Vice Captain Nakamura looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness, despair and embarrassment. At this point, they no longer had a say and could only be forced to obey the decision of Xu Cheng and others and wait for the final ruling.

Their moods went through an ups and downs from despair to joy and then back to despair.

Especially the sharp contrast between their once glorious moments when they had the upper hand and their current desolation, which is undoubtedly the biggest blow to them since they started the mission.

Xu Cheng and others discussed the key without hesitation. You have to know that this is a high-level military secret of Neon Country, which even ordinary troops are not qualified to know. Now that it has been learned by Kyushu Country, it is tantamount to slapping Captain Tanaka and others in the face again and again.

One can imagine how they feel; every second feels like a year, and their hearts are in as much pain as if they were being tortured to death.

Captain Tanaka was filled with regret. He couldn't help asking himself: Was my decision really the right one? Maybe I shouldn't have told the Kyushu people about this key. Is there anything worse than this?

If it weren't for the lives of all the soldiers in the Dongshan Army, he would rather die than ask for help from the people of Kyushu. What should I do now? How long will it take for them to crack all the firewalls?
Captain Tanaka felt extremely regretful when he thought about this situation.

Half an hour ago, he decided to attack Xu Cheng and others like a madman, without considering that the other side might have other warships. As a result, all members of the Dongshan Army became hostages.

He could already imagine how angry Hirata Momojiro would be with the loss of 2 billion US dollars and two latest research results.

This is not a negotiation, this is asking for his life!
Asking Hiramojiro to pay 100 million was already heartbreaking for him, and now the loss is no different from the level of an atomic bomb explosion. The president will definitely lose his mind and may even choose to abandon the Toyama Army team directly!
Captain Tanaka lost more and more confidence as he thought about it. He seemed to have foreseen the fate of the Dongshan Army team. Even if they could return home safely, they would not be greeted with applause and flowers, but endless blame and punishment.

The reality is so cruel. Although they are elite soldiers and enjoy extraordinary treatment, they must bear the weight before they can wear the crown. This serious failure is enough to offset all their previous achievements and efforts...

Captain Tanaka couldn't guarantee that anyone in the Neon Army would do better than him in this situation. Maybe their performance would be worse, but the outcome would be the same. Master Hiratajiro only cares about the results, not the process.

Because of this, the responsibility they bear on their shoulders seems heavier than that of ordinary soldiers, and this is a mission they cannot shirk.

Xu Cheng and the others never took their eyes off the matters at hand, and almost ignored the presence of Captain Tanaka. After a brief exchange, the decision was made, and the presence of the Dongshan Army team was redundant for the next topic.

The next topic was too sensitive to allow Captain Tanaka and his team to listen in. So Xu Cheng, with his usual swiftness and decisiveness, issued an order to expel them without delay: "For now, Captain Tanaka, you and your team should evacuate first. Once we get in touch with the Neon Country headquarters, we will notify you as soon as possible."

Xu Cheng's voice was firm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation, nor any room for refusal for Captain Tanaka and others. Just like that, we were easily sent away? Was there some trick behind this?
Vice Captain Nakamura was surprised and a little doubtful about this sudden "gift", and the expression on his face changed unpredictably like a drama.

The entire Dongshan Army team was almost held hostage at this moment.

Xu Cheng and others let them leave before contacting Japan, which was undoubtedly a strange move.

Vice Captain Nakamura secretly speculated that the other party would never let go so easily. This was more like another trap set up, waiting for them to fall into it. He looked at Captain Tanaka, hoping that he could make a wise decision.

However, Captain Tanaka's face did not show any joy, but became more solemn, as if he had heard some ominous omen. His thoughts were completely different from those of Vice Captain Nakamura. He was worried about the future. The release of Xu Cheng and others was not a abandonment of the hostages, but a more covert way of imprisonment.

In this vast sea, the out-of-control Japanese warship became a natural cage, trapping the Dongshan Army team, cutting off their contact with the outside world and depriving them of the possibility of escape.

Xu Cheng and others don't need to worry that they will jump into the sea to escape, because without any auxiliary tools, escaping from this sea area is tantamount to a fantasy.

Even with a small boat, Captain Tanaka did not dare to take risks easily. The bad weather at sea and the huge waves that could hit at any time were enough to make any escape attempt come to naught.

Therefore, when Captain Tanaka heard Xu Cheng's order to expel them, he realized that the situation had deteriorated further.

If he were given a choice, he would rather stay on the Kyushu warship so that he could observe Xu Cheng and others' every move from close range.

Language is not an obstacle here. Japanese, Kyushu Mandarin, and even international languages ​​are not difficult for everyone present. Although we cannot say that we are proficient in them, basic communication is no problem.

Therefore, information encryption seems redundant here, and no words can escape the ears of everyone.

Xu Cheng's words were undoubtedly a signal, indicating that they were about to take action.

Captain Tanaka and others have become redundant. It is not appropriate for them to stay here any longer, let alone hear the following secrets.

Captain Tanaka dawdled in his seat, his movements unusually slow. He completely lost the demeanor of a captain of an elite team and looked more like an elderly man.

However, Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao and others did not leave him any chance to delay. They stood up collectively and "escorted" Captain Tanaka and others back to their warships.

The whole process was quick and efficient. In just a few minutes, all members of the Dongshan Army team were back on their warships.

Such a quick and decisive move to expel the guests surprised the elite soldiers of the Dongshan Army squad.

They were not invited to participate in the negotiations and could only remain in a surrender posture on the deck throughout the entire process. They were confined to a small area and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Therefore, when they stepped on their warship again, they all breathed a sigh of relief. At least here, they didn't have to worry anymore.

They thought that the return of all members meant that Captain Tanaka and Vice Captain Nakamura had successfully completed the negotiations and paid the compensation demanded by Kyushu.

The entire negotiation process did not seem complicated and ended quickly, and there should be nothing new.

However, the soldiers did not know that Captain Tanaka had almost exposed the bottom line of the Neon Headquarters.

Of course, this was a bit exaggerated, but Captain Tanaka was indeed betting. He bet that even if Xu Cheng and others acted quickly, they would not be able to contact Neon Country immediately, and it would take some time.

This period of time is crucial for him. He needs to think carefully about the next countermeasures and how to find a chance to turn the tables in this desperate situation. Captain Tanaka did not give up. Even in such an unfavorable situation, he was still looking for the possibility of a counterattack.

Giving up means death, and he doesn't want to die in such a miserable way.

More importantly, the honor and reputation of the Dongshan Army squad cannot be destroyed in an instant. He had a complicated expression, his hands were clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands were prominent, as if he was trying his best to suppress his inner emotions.

The soldiers looked at Captain Tanaka, their hearts full of doubts. Vice Captain Nakamura couldn't help but ask, "Captain, we are all back safely, this should be a good thing, why are you still so worried?"

"What demands did those people from Kyushu put forward? Why did they let us go so easily now? Shouldn't they take us as hostages?" The soldiers also echoed.

"Yeah, don't they need hostages? This is so weird..."

Captain Tanaka sneered a few times, his expression was as cold as ice, and he looked like an ice sculpture, emitting a chill that froze the atmosphere around him. "Of course they need hostages, but not for the time being." He said slowly, "Once they contact the Neon Country headquarters, we will naturally become bargaining chips in their hands."

The soldiers were still puzzled, so Vice Captain Nakamura had to explain bitterly: "We have handed the key to them... Xu Cheng and others from Kyushu asked for 2 billion US dollars and two latest research results in exchange. We naturally have no power to decide these, so they asked to contact the headquarters of Neon Country..."

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this and finally realized the seriousness of the problem. However, they were even more puzzled as to why Captain Tanaka had also returned.

"That's not right. Since we need to contact the Neon Country headquarters, shouldn't Captain Tanaka stay there to operate? What's the point of having only one key?"

"Are they planning to contact Neon Country's headquarters themselves? How is that possible? How long will it take to research that?"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gotten involved with these people from Kyushu. Aren't they afraid of the terrible weather..."

"Are they insisting on doing it themselves because they are afraid that the captain will do something? They are really not afraid of death!" (End of this chapter)
