Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1422: Redeeming people? Is it too fast?

accelerate.

dive.

Pass by the parachute.

Zhang Yong wanted to see the other party clearly. Already marked though.

There is no doubt that those who dare to go out alone at night are masters. And it should have a certain status.

Maybe the military rank is not high. But the influence should be good.

To put it bluntly, he was the ace pilot of the Japanese Army Air Force.

Otherwise, its superiors would not allow it to come out at night.

Such a guy must be caught alive.

Therefore, just shoot from the air and cut the parachute.

pass by.

Go around to the front of the Japanese pilot.

See clearly. There's nothing special about his appearance. Is a veteran.

Veteran means around thirty years old. It is the age when physical strength, mental strength, and technique are all optimal.

It's a pity that I don't know each other. Don't know the other party's details.

"Takaya Horikawa..."

"Takaya Horikawa..."

Suddenly, a disembodied voice came from my ears.

He was slightly startled. Then it dawned on me. Is this telepathy? Detected the name of the Japanese pilot?

Not only does it have a voice, it even has a Chinese translation. Guaranteed no mistake.

very good. very good. Got work to do.

It's been a long time since the coded telegraph was invented. Just send one.

It would be too troublesome to encrypt telegrams. It's easier to just invent the code.

Pull up.

Lay flat.

Then began sending telegrams.

First adjust the frequency to 95.27 MHz. This is his Zhang Yong dedicated channel.

Take out the code book. Invent the code directly.

Just seven words—

Takashi Horikawa also went skydiving.

Done.

He is only responsible for sending. Not responsible for the reactions of all parties.

Look at the fuel gauge. Let’s return.

At this time, there is no point in going anywhere else.

If you go to the Japanese airport, you may be able to alert the enemy. This led to the Japanese invaders stepping up their defenses.

"Owl, return!"

"receive."

"Adjust all headings to 275, altitude to 2200, and speed to 300."

"receive."

Soon, the team was completed. Return leisurely.

Tonight's attack was purely a sideshow. There is no disturbance in my heart.

but…

"Didi!"

"Didi!"

Suddenly, there was a call from the radio station.

So he answered. I found that the other party also called in plain code.

Jot down the numbers. Then check the code book. Translate it into Chinese characters. The content is -

Is it really Takaya Horikawa? It's very powerful. Shot down by you?

No signature. Don't know who sent it.

I guess this person should have a certain understanding of Japanese aviation.

"Didi!"

"Didi!"

The radio station called again.

Continue to answer. Write down the numbers.

Translated into Chinese characters—

It must be captured alive. Can't let it run away. It's worth a lot of money.

Still no signature.

It is inferred that it is a continuation of the previous telegram.

It seems that this person is his ally. Unfortunately, the identity remains unknown.

Moreover, this person should also have a certain understanding of himself. The last sentence was directed at Zhang Yong.

Very valuable. Only he, Zhang Yong, would use it. He wants money.

Captured alive?

It’s a bit difficult!

Mainly because he couldn't land on the ground.

If you can land on the ground, the opponent will definitely not be able to escape.

Fortunately, I marked it myself, but if it didn't work, I continued to fly out to search. Until caught.

By the way, searching by plane seems to be faster.

But it requires ground cooperation.

Deploy the fourth air police regiment?

Or order the 100 troops stationed in Anqing to dispatch?

Later I thought about it and forgot about it.

The other party is just a pilot. Nothing necessary.

What about the Japanese ace pilot? Just as worthless. Unless the Japanese invaders are willing to pay for redemption.

In fact it seems not.

Several Japanese pilots have been captured alive before. But there was no reaction from the Japanese invaders.

Whatever.

Return to Hankou Airport smoothly.

Landed safely.

A staff member has been waiting for a long time.

"Commissioner, the commander invites you to go to his office."

"good."

Zhang Yong was a little surprised.

Commander Qian hasn’t slept yet? Ready to stay up late?

He doesn't seem to have the habit of staying up late.

Is there something important?

"Report."

"Come in."

Zhang Yong pushed the door open and went in.

It was discovered that Commander Qian was indeed drowsy.

Seeing him come in, I cheered up. Then handed him a piece of information.

"See for yourself."

"good."

Zhang Yong took the information.

I found out that it was actually about Horikawa Takaya.

Huh?

So powerful?

Actually even the national army has information about him?

By the way, it wouldn't be surprising at all if it was the other way around. Very normal.

The Japanese invaders collected very detailed information on the Chinese army. Almost all commanders above the regimental level of the regular national army have detailed information.

Especially Huangpu students, everyone has a separate file.

Those Huangpu troops, especially the German weapon divisions, have more detailed information.

However, the national army knew very little about the situation of the Japanese invaders. Unless the other party is very famous.

Therefore, this Horikawa Takaya is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Is he valuable?"

Zhang Yong speaks out.

What other value is there, too lazy to ask. He only cares about money.

If the Japanese invaders were willing to use money to redeem him, Zhang Yong might consider it. Forget about other ways.

Capture them and send them to Chongqing. Or send it to Hankou. Parade every day. Let people visit for free.

"Report!"

A counselor came in.

Zhang Yong put the information back.

"What's up?"

"Mr. Commissioner, there is an outside line calling for you."

"External call? Who?"

"I claim to be sending you money..."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.

Send me money?

Who?

That must be answered.

Now, what he likes to hear most is money.

There is no way, I am really poor.

Money is needed for everything. Not even one point less.

Recently, my brain has become hot again, and I have taken over the matter of the aircraft manufacturing factory. Another big expense.

"Get it over here."

"yes."

The staff officer goes out.

Soon, the call came in.

Zhang Yong picked up the microphone.

"Hello…"

"Zhang Sang."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Familiarity means having dealt with him many times before. Strange means I haven’t interacted with him for a long time.

who?

Another father-in-law.

Akiyama heavy sunflower.

Consul General of the Japanese invaders in Shanghai.

To be honest, Zhang Yong still misses each other a little.

His daughter is so beautiful!

As beautiful as Su Youxi.

Su Youxi doesn't know where she is now, but Akiyama Kwaiko should always be in Shanghai.

Hey, when will I return to Shanghai as a wanderer from Wakayama?

If there is a chance, kidnap the Akiyama Aoiko first...

"It turns out to be Consul General Akiyama!"

"It's me."

"You are looking for me in the middle of the night, do you miss me?"

"Return Horikawa Takaya to us. You decide the price. As soon as possible."

"But we haven't caught it yet!"

"Say the price."

"Are you so anxious? Isn't it a relative of the emperor?"

Zhang Yong was suspicious.

It's really too fast.

It had only been an hour since Horikawa Takaya was shot down!

Maybe at this moment, Horikawa Takaya landed in the barren mountains and hasn't figured out the specific location yet!

As a result, the Japanese invaders called to redeem their lives.

He also went to Zhang Yong directly.

Why does it feel a little magical? Is this war?

It seems so.

The war allowed for the exchange of prisoners.

Or redeem the captives with money or other means.

"You make a price."

Akiyama Shigekui did not answer.

In fact, he didn't know who Horikawa Takaya was.

He is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I'm not that familiar with the military situation.

I vaguely know that the other person is a great person. But I didn't expect that the military department would be so anxious.

Zhang Yong's clear telegram, Akiyama Chongkui was an afterthought.

Because there were very few clear telegrams from Zhang Yong during this period, no one was arranged to monitor them.

As a result, it was almost early morning. This happened.

The military department asked him to come forward immediately to redeem people.

No matter what the cost.

The money is ready.

Akiyama Shigekui had no choice but to get up and work overtime.

"A pilot..."

"The Japanese invaders are so anxious..."

Zhang Yong made full associations in his mind. He almost didn't think that the other person might be Hirohito's younger brother.

It is estimated that only members of the royal family would make the Japanese military headquarters so nervous and recruit people immediately.

But the information was not written.

It is estimated that these secrets are definitely unknown to outsiders.

"You make your price."

Akiyama Shigekui repeatedly emphasized.

If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to recruit people.

The other party may not be willing to accept the money and release the person.

However, it is possible for Zhang Yong.

As long as the money is available, there is nothing Zhang Yong dare not do.

If he doesn't agree, it means he doesn't have enough money. Need to add money. Just add money as hard as you can.

Zhang Yong's reputation for taking money to do things was even known to the military.

Otherwise, they would not ask for redemption immediately. I just worry about having long nights and lots of dreams. Delay will lead to change.

"I…"

Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment.

I really want the lion to open his mouth. Ask for a sky-high price.

What if the other party is really a relative of the Japanese invaders? You can make a lot of money.

But in the end he held back.

I am a person with a good reputation! You cannot increase the price without authorization.

The former Japanese spies were all worth 100,000 yuan. The price for capturing Japanese pilots now is probably the same.

The water flows slowly.

Small profits but quick turnover.

Or you can substitute someone.

But the Japanese invaders did not mention substitution.

That is to say, no Chinese pilots were captured alive by the Japanese invaders.

Air battles basically take place over areas controlled by the national army. Even if he is shot down, he will be saved by his own people.

Defensive counterattack has such benefits.

But in the future, if there is an opportunity to take the initiative, it will be hard to say.

Let’s talk about the next thing later.

"Old rules. One hundred thousand oceans." Zhang Yong replied bitterly.

Very unhappy.

I feel that I have suffered a big loss.

The other party may be a very valuable treasure.

but…

For the sake of reputation, I had to endure it.

The reputation you have finally built up cannot be destroyed easily.

Without such a reputation, the Japanese military headquarters would not dare to do this.

"make a deal."

Akiyama Shigekui hurriedly finalized.

I was afraid that Zhang Yong would regret it.

One hundred thousand oceans, totally worth it!

This Zhang Yong really has a reputation. Rules are rules.

It seems that I have to prepare a sum of money.

What if it falls into Zhang Yong's hands...

Huh?

What are you thinking about?

Now that the Japanese Empire has occupied all of Shanghai, how could it still fall into Zhang Yong's hands?

Bah bah bah!

Bah bah bah!

Absolutely impossible.

Nothing so unlucky...

"make a deal."

Zhang Yong responded lazily.

I still feel like I'm at a huge disadvantage.

Feeling unwilling.

"If he is caught a second time, the price won't be like this!"

"Understood. Understood."

"The second time you are arrested, it's 200,000. The third time you're arrested, it's 300,000. And so on."

"Understood. Understood."

"snort!"

"By the way, did you catch a few others over there?"

"There are four. One of them is seriously injured. Our medical conditions are insufficient. We may not be able to treat him..."

"Put it back. Put it back. Put it back together."

"Give me money."

"One hundred thousand oceans per person. No problem. Five hundred thousand oceans in total."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong feels like he is at a disadvantage again?

Akiyama Shigekui actually agreed so readily and ransomed the other four Japanese prisoners?

It feels like the other party is playing a big game of chess...

Think about it.

I didn't understand what the Japanese invaders were going to do.

However, as long as he gets one hundred thousand yuan, he doesn't care what the Japanese invaders want to do.

Once you get the money, let it go.

The aircraft manufacturer has money. Five hundred thousand oceans is just enough for the initial investment. I'll think of another solution later.

"When will you pay?"

"immediately."

"What?"

"I will immediately arrange for someone to deliver the banknote to Hankou Airport."

"good…"

Zhang Yong frowned.

Did the Japanese invaders move so quickly?

He hurriedly gave money to the person before he was caught. Do you trust me, Zhang Yong, so much?

OK.

Get the money first and then talk.

"After you find the person, take them to Hankou Airport, and then we will send a plane over to bring them back."

"good."

Zhang Yong said there was no problem.

As long as he is here, the Japanese invaders will not be able to conspire.

Sending a plane to take people back is indeed the fastest. It is also the easiest to keep secrets.

As long as you receive the money yourself, you can still provide certain convenience to the other party.

"Also, no more coded telegraphs are allowed to be invented."

"More money."

"you…"

"Ten thousand oceans."

"You have to keep it a secret."

"certainly."

"make a deal."

Akiyama Shigekui didn't hesitate.

Zhang Yong must agree! Otherwise, everything you say is in vain.

The biggest threat to the Chinese Air Force right now is Zhang Yong. However, the most difficult person to deal with is Zhang Yong.

In front of this guy, the Japanese Empire has paid a very heavy price. But there was still no way to hurt this guy even a hair.

Fortunately, this guy's weakness is also well known. Just greed for money and lust.

Sure enough, as long as you are willing to spend money, things will be easy to handle.

But if you're not willing to pay, you're done.

"Wait for you."

"immediately."

Zhang Yong put down the microphone.

Turning to look at Commander Qian.

Commander Qian heard the conversation just now.

Nothing to hide. Zhang Yong just wants money. Everyone knows about the commission.

"You can do it yourself! Take the money and let them go."

"Would you like to..."

"No need to report it. Handle it yourself. You are also asking for money everywhere now. Even if the commission knows about it, he will acquiesce."

"good."

"Money is really needed everywhere now! It would be great if you could capture a few more Japanese prisoners."

"If it is an ordinary prisoner, it may not have such a price."

Zhang Yong shook his head.

And belatedly realized.

Understand why the other four Japanese pilots were also ransomed.

It was purely to prevent Horikawa Takashi from appearing so abrupt.

It would definitely not be justified if only Horikawa Takaya was redeemed at a high price and no others were redeemed. Other Japanese pilots will also be chilled.

Redeem them all. The explanation sounds much better. No one will object.

Moreover, since such a precedent has been set, it is estimated that the Japanese invaders will also have to follow this action in the future.

Otherwise, these pilots will be redeemed. In the future, there will be pilots who are captured but refuse to be redeemed, and there will definitely be another disturbance.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

This is true no matter which country or nation.

Wait patiently.

Half an hour later, the radar map showed that someone was approaching the airport gate.

Then airport security called.

"Mr. Reporting Commissioner, someone is looking for you at the door. They say they are bringing you something."

"Tell him to wait for me at the door."

"yes."

Zhang Yong came to the door.

Found out it was a postman.

Not a spy.

He doesn't seem to be a traitor.

There is a large travel bag on the back of the bicycle.

"you…"

"Mr. Commissioner..."

The postman seemed nervous.

It turned out that he was picked up in the middle of the night.

The other party ordered him to immediately send the travel bag to Hankou Airport and give it to Zhang Yong.

Otherwise, the other party will kill his whole family.

The postman did not dare to neglect and hurriedly delivered the travel bag.

He didn't even know what was in the travel bag. Don't dare to check either.

It feels like it's bulging. It seemed like it was full of paper. Or a book or something.

Zhang Yong observed his surroundings silently. No abnormalities were found.

He should be a hidden traitor. Worried about being exposed, he sent it via postman

It seems that this traitor is also quite cunning.

Open travel bag

There are banknotes inside. Stuffed to the brim.

There is Citibank. There is HSBC.

It seems that Akiyama Shigekui is also very familiar with her preferences. All the good stuff was delivered.

"Okay. You can go."

"OK."

The postman was relieved and hurriedly turned around and left.

Zhang Yong put away the banknotes.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Gather all the captured Japanese pilots to Hankou Airport."

"yes."

"Inform everyone near Anqing that there is a Japanese pilot who parachuted to escape. Try to capture him alive. There will be rewards for catching him alive."

"yes."

After giving instructions, Zhang Yong himself was tired.

So I came back to sleep.

Shen Ming is on duty tonight. No one is here.

Qiao Qingzi is here. So while I was happy, I had a real exchange with her.

Although Qiao Qingzi looks cold on the outside, she is actually very warm inside. She can let go in front of him, which is called comfort.

result…

When I woke up the next day, I felt a sore back.
