Bourne: Command and Conquer

 Chapter 968, loopholes

Help?

Paulus was actually shouting for help?

 Hallucination?

Zhang Yong thought for a time that he had heard wrongly.

Or is there a translation error in the German language of the system plug-in? The proud Germans actually shouted for help continuously?

By the way, that German freighter is really not simple!

 Previously, Zhang Yong arranged for thirteen demons to go up and wreak havoc, but the effect was not satisfactory.

 The Germans did not get off the freighter.

 There was no incident on the freighter. Seems very calm.

 There was nothing to do for the time being, and Zhang Yong had forgotten about it.

 Unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared again. Still anxiously shouting for help...

Weird…

 “Mr. Paulus, please be patient.”

　　"I'm very anxious. Mr. Zhang. Really. I'm very anxious. I apologize for everything before..."

 “You said it. I’m listening.”

“We have a very difficult problem. We need to come ashore. We need a safe, confidential place.”

 “Aren’t you having a good time on the freighter? Why suddenly…”

 “Because of some temporary changes…”

 “Can I know what happened?”

 “Our enemies are catching up. The freighter is no longer safe.”

 “Enemy? What enemy? Where?”

“I can’t tell you just yet. But we are really anxious. We have five days to evacuate.”

 “Five days?”

 “Yes. We only have five days.”

 “Ah, let me think about it.”

 Zhang Yong knocked on the table silently. Use your brain.

 Five days…

 Why five days?

 Where are their enemies? Five days away?

 At sea?

 Submarine?

 Is it a submarine? Will the submarine arrive in Shanghai in five days?

 That is to say, the submarine has now entered the South China Sea. Probably arrived near Manila. Even closer.

 There are no nuclear submarines in this era. Therefore, the submarine's power is still relatively weak. When sailing across the ocean, you need to pay attention to many things. A lot of supplies have to be prepared.

 Especially this kind of cross-ocean voyage is indeed very challenging for submarines.

 In most cases, the economic speed of a submarine is only about 10 knots, which is 22 kilometers per hour. No more than 500 kilometers a day. In the meantime, make sure there are a few hours a day for floating charging. Five days is 2,500 kilometers.

Using the surveillance map to judge, it is indeed in the middle of the South China Sea. Near Manila.

 A few days ago, I may have just crossed the Strait of Malacca.

It is estimated that the mysterious radio signal was captured by Li Jingzhi in the Indian Ocean.

 Compared with the 15W and 30W radios used on land, the power of submarine radios is much greater. It's often 50W, or even more than 100W. Therefore, the transmission distance is very long. It can be transmitted from the Indian Ocean to Shanghai.

However, there is a problem, that is, this submarine is probably unable to directly contact the German mainland.

 Theoretically, radio waves can circle the earth. But actually it can't be done. There must be a transfer station.

 Tanavaro made it very clear before. They Italians, at the Red Sea exit, arranged for a cargo ship to serve as a transit point.

So, how did the German submarines transit? Where is the transfer station?

 Or is there a submarine behind?

The submarine at the back is responsible for relaying intelligence? Wave after wave of relay?

　　　　…

 The situation is a bit serious!

 There may actually be more than one German submarine.

 Perhaps two ships…

 Perhaps three ships…

"Mr. Paulus, you can drive the freighter away. You can go to San Francisco! Or go to other places."

 “No. The propeller is damaged. It cannot operate properly.”

"Yeah?"

 Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

 It seems that the Thirteen Demons and the others have achieved some success.

 They destroyed the propeller.

 Strictly speaking, it should not be destruction. Instead, they used fishing nets or other things to entangle the propeller, preventing it from starting smoothly.

If there were no submarines chasing after her, the freighter might still be able to barely get out to sea. However, with submarines chasing after them, forcing a freighter to go to sea would be courting death.

 It is estimated that Paulus and the others already knew that the submarine was here to hunt them down.

 So, they are very anxious.

 The only safe way is to go ashore.

 Once ashore, the submarine has no recourse. All he could do was stare.

 Two or three ships are useless.

 It is impossible for the German surface ships to cross the Atlantic Ocean and go south.

Once the German surface ships are dispatched, the British will be the most nervous. Mustache's surface ships are weak. Can't do it.

 “How many of you are there?”

 “Two hundred and eighty-seven.”

 “Are there any women or children?”

"No."

 “Are they all men?”

"yes."

“That’s a bit troublesome. I don’t know how to arrange for you. You don’t qualify as refugees either…”

 “A ton of gold.”

"What?"

“We will give you a ton of gold.”

"ah…"

 Zhang Yong took a deep breath.

 Pick up a pen and paper and do some quick calculations.

 How much is a ton of gold? 1000kg. That is two thousand catties.

How much does a large yellow croaker weigh? More than 300 grams.

 One ton of gold equals how many large yellow croakers? More than three thousand.

etc…

 Is it more than 3,000?

 Who has a calculator? give me one. I'm not very good at math...

 Actually, it’s mainly because I’m a little excited.

 A ton of gold!

Tons!

 H actually uses tons as the unit.

There was so much gold on that German freighter?

　　Mad!

Had I known it earlier, I would have rushed forward with my men and snatched it away...

Huh?

 Zhang Yong's eyes suddenly became ferocious.

 In other words, now is a great opportunity! Directly lead people to kill the Germans on the freighter.

 There is no doubt that the submarine was definitely sent by Mustache. The purpose was to kill all the Germans on the freighter. In this case, what's the problem with taking action in advance and killing them all? Maybe even get the reward of a mustache?

 Paulus himself said so. There were no women or children on board. Kill them all without any psychological burden.

However…

 Finally gave up.

 Honestly speaking, Zhang Yong cannot do this kind of thing.

 He is not so vicious yet. So, I feel like I am out of tune with this world...

Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda...

God has the virtue of good life...

I am a good person…

 I am definitely not here for a ton of gold!

The issue is…

 Where is it safe?

 Seriously, how do you settle them?

With his IQ, it is really not easy to find a suitable place.

 “Let me think about it.”

"ASAP."

 “I will reply to you before 12 noon tomorrow.”

 “You must keep your word…”

 “I’m going to Wusongkou Pier now.”

 “Okay, okay, great.”

Paulus was relieved.

 He still hopes to negotiate face to face with Zhang Yong.

hope…

 There should be a way to survive.

 After all, it was Zhang Yong who he turned to for help.

 Zhang Yong is a person who does things as long as he receives money.

 Credit is leveraged…

 In addition to Zhang Yong, he did not dare to find anyone else.

Others will definitely kill the person and take away the gold. Everything is taken away.

 Only Zhang Yong’s credibility is guaranteed…

"that's all."

 Zhang Yong hung up the phone. Holding the microphone, he meditated silently.

It seems like there is still room for gaming?

 The mysterious Germans on the freighter want to survive. Mustache wants their lives.

 The price of one ton of gold has been quoted here. Not bad indeed. Of course, not per capita. If it’s per capita, it doesn’t seem so shocking.

So, the question is, how much gold is on the freighter?

　　Well, I’m going too far...

  What kind of price will Mustache offer?

 Hand down the microphone.

Walked to the telecommunications department again.

I have to remind Li Jingzhi.

 Some radio stations are actually not necessary to track.

 You are wasting your brains tracking the German submarines...

 Enter the telecommunications department.

 Found that Li Jingzhi was sitting upright.

Ling Yan stood aside. Look serious. Seeing Zhang Yong's arrival, he whispered: "The radio station has appeared again."

 After a pause, he added: "This time it was about eighteen hours apart. Sometimes it was fifteen hours..."

 Zhang Yong waved his hand and whispered: "No need to follow me."

 “Why?” Li Jingzhi actually heard it. Obviously he doesn't agree with it.

“It’s a German submarine. It just entered the South China Sea from the Indian Ocean.” Zhang Yong had no choice but to inform him clearly.

 “Submarine?” Li Jingzhi was stunned for a moment.

 She needs a moment to understand. What is a submarine?

 Have heard of this name. However, I don’t know the specifics. It seems like China doesn’t have this thing?

 Although she is a teacher. However, I really don’t know much about submarines.

"Yes. It's a German submarine." Zhang Yong said slowly, "But just know it. Don't let it out."

 “Understood.” Ling Yan replied immediately.

“I understand.” Li Jingzhi slowly lowered her head.

 She felt a little useless.

 Having been tracking it for a long time, I still don’t know what it is.

 As a result, as soon as Zhang Yong arrived, the mystery was solved.

Why…

 He is that powerful.

 He actually knows what submarines are...

“However, you have to record all of this radio signal. When the time comes, leave it all to me.”

"you want…"

 “I’m useful.”

 Zhang Yong did not elaborate.

Just now, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

 Accidentally, I denied Li Jingzhi’s hard work of following him sleeplessly for several days.

 In fact, what is received now is the code converted by the Enigma machine. Suffice it to say, this is the hardest password to crack in the world. none of them.

 What if it comes in use later?

What if the system is suddenly able to crack the password one day?

 “Keep it confidential.”

"clear."

 The two of them answered carefully.

 But Zhang Yong knew it. It will definitely not be kept secret.

 When he told Ling Yan, he was equivalent to telling Boss Dai. There are others. Eventually, more people will know.

 Li Jingzhi will definitely keep it secret. But Ling Yan definitely won't.

 The urinary nature of the government has always been like this.

 Even Chiang Kai-shek’s personal affairs cannot be kept secret.

fine. What he needs is her "no secret". If outsiders don't know, how can he profit from it?

It would be best for Americans to know…

 The British know…

 The Japanese know…

 The messier the better.

 The more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities Zhang Yong will have...

 Leave the telecommunications department.

 Getting ready to go to Shanghai.

 So tired.

 Really, I just arrived in Jinling and have to go back to Shanghai.

 This time, I won’t take the train again.

 The train is too time-consuming. It takes a full nine hours!

 It’s the rainy season again. In case something unexpected happens along the way, and there is no way to go or find a store, the delay will be even longer...

 Let’s go by plane!

  Anyway, there are other people in Shanghai.

 Arrived at the airport.

 Unexpectedly, I discovered that Huang Zhicheng was actually there.

That bright big yellow dot is actually him. Curious, why is he here?

 “Director Huang.”

 Zhang Yong greeted the other party.

 He actually wanted to know whether those three radio stations had been released.

So much time has passed, should it be taken out, right? In the concession a few days ago, it seemed that there was no longer a blockade...

 “Your Majesty.”

Huang Zhicheng said hello in a friendly manner.

But he found that Zhang Yong just said hello and left.

 Zhang Yong arranged a plane to take him back to Shanghai. As a result, I accidentally discovered that there seemed to be some strangers here.

 Inquiry and learned that it was sent by Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

 The leader of the team is a major. His name is He Yuanzhen.

Thinking of some of Minister He’s operations after the Northwest Incident. Zhang Yong frowned secretly.

Is there an outsider trying to get involved in the empty fund?

So, now, here comes the question…

 Can Minister He command the National Air Force?

 It seems possible…

 This is a very fatal loophole.

 In name, the Ministry of Military Affairs does have the power to command the navy, land and air forces.

 However, because there was a Military and Political Committee above, which was personally in charge of Chiang Kai-shek, the Military and Political Department was sidelined and became a vassal.

 However, once Chiang Kai-shek lost his command, the Military and Political Department immediately became very important.

 In the absence of Chiang Kai-shek, Minister He became the de facto supreme military commander.

 This is a hidden danger!

However, Zhang Yong could not say anything. Can't even hint at it.

 Otherwise, in the future, if Chiang Kai-shek realizes that you knew something a long time ago but didn’t remind him, then forget about it.

 It’s really true. Chiang Kai-shek must have stewed him and eaten him. It was too late for him to run away.

 With a change of heart, he walked towards He Yuanzhen.

He Yuanzhen saw it. But no response. He seemed to be full of hostility towards him.

 Zhang Yong was immediately relieved.

fine. There is no need to deliberately stir up trouble yourself. The other party seems to be actively looking for trouble.

 It seems that Minister He’s eldest son seems to have a strong opinion of himself!

That's good.

 Let everything take its course.

 Conflicts arise.

 “Who are you? Why do you appear here?”

"You are Zhang Yong. Don't you know who I am?"

“I’m sorry for my blindness. I don’t know which great **** has come. Are you from the Air Force?”

 “My name is He Yuanzhen. I am the staff officer of the Kongchi Department...”

 “Do you have a long belt?”

"What?"

“If you are not the chief of staff, you will not fart loudly. If you are not the chief of staff or something like that, get out of here!”

“Zhang Yong! Why are you crazy! The Air Force is not your independent kingdom!”

 “Can you fly a plane?”

"What?"

“If you don’t know how to fly a plane, get out of here!”

 “Can you fly a plane?”

"Yes!"

"you…"

He Yuanzhen was choked immediately.

 Zhang Yong has already left.

　　lift off.

 Fly.

 Land.

 Smoothly arrived at Shanghai Longhua Airport.

 Before getting off the plane, Catherine was spotted. She is waiting for him.

 Oh, I remembered it.

 Period of one month. She was also anxious.
