I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"I'm sorry that it wasn't me!" Shi Yuan Wan'er yelled furiously, he could not bear it any longer, "At the beginning, I tried my best to warn the gentlemen that Nanjing should not be attacked! If the gentlemen and I were of the same mind, how could the situation of the war be different? It has developed to such an unmanageable point now? At this time, I want to ask the thousands of soldiers of the imperial army who fell on the battlefield in Nanjing. At the beginning, when you advocated the attack on Nanjing, was it to make contributions to the empire or to make yourself famous? Li Wan?"

Lieutenant General Yanagawa, who was pierced deep in his heart by these words, suddenly flew into a rage. He looked at Ishihara and smiled fiercely with his eyes like knives, but he just panted heavily, and did not retort or argue with him.

"Since it's too late to regret it, there's no need to regret it!" Masanobu Tsuji, who had the lowest military rank among the crowd, suddenly said in the loudest voice, "The imperial army has nowhere to go on the Nanjing battlefield, and can only fight a bloody road! Tactics! Extraordinary means should be used in extraordinary times! The Battle of Nanjing only lasted 42 days, and the outcome was not decided. Why should we be dejected? The original Battle of Lushun lasted a full 329 days! During the 329 days, Generals Nogi and Kodama If the ancestors have wavered, how can the imperial army finally capture the glorious victory of Lushun? Since we have received the imperial flag from our ancestors, we shall inherit and carry forward the spirit of our ancestors!"

Masanobu Tsuji's generous statement did have some effect, and it lifted the depressed mentality of General Matsui and others a lot. General Matsui looked at Masanobu Tsuji: "Consultant Tsuji, do you have any good ideas?"

Tsuji Masanobu smiled slightly: "Your Excellency! My solution is..." He said a few words in a low voice.

"What?" There was an uproar at the scene, General Matsui's eyes widened, Lieutenant General Yanagawa and Major General Tsukada Tsukasa were thoughtful, Lieutenant General Hatohiko nodded slightly, and Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro and Ishihara Wanji changed their colors together.

"Ridiculous!" Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro said angrily, "Wouldn't this be a stigma for the Imperial Army from now on?"

"Tsuji-kun!" Ishihara Waner said coldly, "Your method is not advisable! It's too low!"

Ishihara Wanji is the object of Tsuji Masanobu's admiration, so Tsuji Masanobu dared not be rude to Ishihara Waner, he argued: "Your Excellency Ishihara, the purpose of war is to win by any means! That's all! As long as you win, you can use any means It doesn't matter! Even if you get some scolding, it doesn't matter. It's better than the difficult situation where the war is stagnant and the casualties are increasing day by day, right? In addition, look at the Imperial Navy. In order to save the Mutsu, the navy gang bowed to the Chinese, Swallowing your breath, you have lost all your face, but so what?"

"What about the international public opinion?" Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro became more and more annoyed, "The big powers will definitely make use of it!"

"It is the responsibility of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Ministry (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to deal with international public opinion, not the responsibility of the military!" Of course, it doesn't matter how bad it is. The immoral things done by the Great Japanese Empire are innumerable, one more is not too much, and one is less. Neutral countries curse once more.

Immediately Masanobu Tsuji added cunningly, "In addition, things are dead and people are alive. We can use some means to cover up this matter!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Makes sense!" After hearing Masanobu Tsuji's idea, Lieutenant General Yanagawa, Major General Tsukada Tsukasa, and Lieutenant General Hatohiko Wang nodded in agreement, while Lieutenant General Ishihara Wanji and Hata Toshiro expressed their opposition: "Absurd ! Ridiculous! This method is absolutely unacceptable!"

General Matsui closed his eyes, meditated, and finally nodded slightly: "There is nothing more important than achieving victory and reducing the casualties of the imperial army. Staff Officer Tsuji's method...you can try it on a local battlefield first!" After finishing speaking, he seemed very righteous and said, "If there is any negative impact, I, Matsui, am willing to bear the infamy so as not to insult the prestige of the imperial army!"

"Your Excellency, General!" Masanobu Tsuji looked at General Matsui with a solemn expression in surprise and respect.

While the high-level Japanese army was racking their brains to think about the tactics of breaking the city, Jiang Weiguo, whose hands were stained with the blood of the imperial army, was living a happy life in Nanjing.

Jiang Weiguo is the actual commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Army (Chiang Kai-shek is beyond his reach, and Tang Shengzhi is completely emptied by him), but he does not need to do everything by himself. Respect, but the ending of Zhuge Liang becoming sick from overwork and only living to be 54 years old is not very enviable. Although Jiang Weiguo also wholeheartedly serves the country and the people, he will not treat himself badly.

Right now, Nanjing City and the Nanjing Army are like a completely self-consistent machine, with clear division of labor and orderly operation of each department. To use a metaphor, it is like playing the game "Red Alert" in later generations. The next battle is to build the hometown again, and when the defense system of the hometown is well established, even if the player does not control it personally, the defense system of the hometown can automatically resist the enemy's attack.

This is the case with the Nanjing Army and Nanjing City. Jiang Weiguo only needs to do four things at this time: one is to "give important guidance", the second is to deal with matters that must be handled by himself, and the third is to review confidential documents that must be reviewed by himself. The fourth is to go to the front line to boost morale and military morale; therefore, Jiang Weiguo has plenty of personal time.

Jiang Weiguo doesn't do anything else when he's free, he either visits Yangmei Yangmei who is raising his health, or "sneakily meets and makes a date" with Shi Liling, or "plays around" with Cai Wenna, or "plays around" with Liu Wugou. intellectual debate".

Of course, nothing serious will happen in the end.

If someone accuses Jiang Weiguo of "the enemy is still relying on jade and not doing business", Jiang Weiguo will definitely complain: these days there is no computer or TV, and I am not interested in playing mahjong and watching movies, so what else can I do without my girlfriend?

On January 1th, Jiang Weiguo received three news, two good and one bad.

The first good news is that Cai Wenna is pregnant.

"We must learn the lesson well, and we must not let her shed like Yangmei!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but secretly made up his mind. At the same time, he regretted that he didn't send all these women out of Nanjing before the war. It's a dilemma, but, again, if Cai Wenna is not in Nanjing, she will definitely not be pregnant.

The second good news is that a new round of German aid to China is arriving one after another.

After the war between China and Japan, since both sides had submarines, they both launched submarine warfare against each other. The targets of the submarines of both sides were transport ships, merchant ships, cargo ships, and civilian ships of the other side. Generally speaking, the Chinese navy started first (Jiang Weiguo’s idea ), and then stimulated the Japanese navy to return to the other side, resulting in huge losses for both sides.

It is important to note that the tactics of Chinese and Japanese submarines are exactly the same, but for completely different reasons.

First of all, Japan is an island country, and its local resources are scarce, so it is extremely dependent on sea transportation. In addition, Japan is at war with China at this time, and the war consumes a lot of supplies, so the sea transportation line is Japan's blood vessels. This situation in Japan has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. The difference, so Jiang Weiguo used the wolf pack tactics of the German navy against the United Kingdom in Japan. Secondly, China is a mainland country, but the level of industrialization in China is very low, so it is necessary to purchase a large number of machines. Weapons (this is different from Japan. Japan has completed industrialization, but its local resources are not available. Therefore, Japanese ships mainly import and transport industrial raw materials from abroad, and then import and transport weapons. China is rich in local resources and has industrial raw materials, but has no resources. At the same time, the Chinese army also lacks weapons, so they are transported by machine weapons), the northern part of China is the Soviet Union, the southwest is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the British and French colonies, and Germany is China’s first source of foreign aid. Sino-German trade mainly relies on shipping, so China Third, because of Jiang Weiguo's "guidance", the Chinese navy's submarine tactics are very reasonable, not attacking Japanese warships, but only attacking Japanese civilian ships; fourth, the Japanese navy's submarine tactics are very unreasonable. Reasonably, in the original history, the Japanese navy used a large number of submarines for fleet battles, sending submarines to attack US warships, resulting in heavy losses but little results, and the Japanese army did not pay attention to anti-submarine. Destroyers were rarely equipped with depth charge throwers. However, the Chinese Navy There are not many warships, and there is no chance for Japanese navy submarines to attack Chinese navy warships (although this is very stupid), so Japanese navy submarines also attack Chinese civilian ships.

The above four reasons are the reasons why the Chinese and Japanese naval submarines attacked each other's civilian ships with all their strength. However, in general, Japan's losses were much greater than those of China, because Japan's shipping industry is dozens of times more developed than China's, and Japanese submarines In China's territorial waters, it is equivalent to "wolves looking for prey in the desert", while Chinese submarines in Japan's territorial waters are equivalent to "wolves looking for prey in the grasslands", and there are many opportunities to use mobile phones.

At this time, in addition to having the world's third-ranked navy, Japan also had the world's third-largest civilian merchant ship in terms of gross tonnage, with a total of more than 2400 ships. As a result, they were killed by Chinese naval submarines.

Rear Admiral Wei Zihao, commander of the Chinese Navy's submarine force, officially announced on January 1:

从1937年7月7日至1938年1月7日，开战六个月以来，中国海军共损失3艘潜艇，同时取得了击沉日本舰艇船舶超过180艘、总吨位超过100万吨的辉煌战绩，平均每一个月击沉日方舰船约13.3万吨；战绩位列前三甲的三艘王牌潜艇依次是：u-1023号、u-1075号、u-1099号，战绩分别是：24.5万吨、22.2万吨、18.8万吨，三位艇长都荣获青天白日勋章。

Jiang Weiguo couldn't believe the brilliant record of the submarine force when he received the report, because it was too brilliant.

In fact, Navy submarine captains call combat "a pleasant hunt."

The active and outstanding performance of Chinese naval submarines caused Japan to suffer heavy losses. Countless supplies were dumped into the sea, and more than 3 Japanese crew members and passengers died in the sea.

The Chinese Navy submarines that hated Japan not only attacked Japanese cargo ships, but also attacked Japanese passenger ships. More than ten large Japanese passenger ships were sunk by Chinese Navy submarines, drowning tens of thousands of Japanese civilians.

For example, on the night of New Year’s Day on January 1938, 1, the U-1 of the Chinese Navy sank the large passenger ship "Hikawa Maru" with a full load displacement of up to 1075 tons more than 400 kilometers east of Tokyo Bay. Captain He Zuwei knew that The Hikawa Maru was only a civilian ship, not a warship, and there were a large number of civilians on board, so the order to launch torpedoes was issued, causing the Hikawa Maru to die in the Pacific Ocean.

The Hikawa Maru is a famous luxury cruise ship on the route between Japan and the United States. It is known as the "Queen of the Pacific". It broke and sank quickly. More than 1075 people were killed, including the captain Akiyoshi Shichiro, and the death toll was five times that of the Titanic.

This is the fourth catastrophe since modern times, and it is also the biggest disaster (the first is the British Titanic, with more than 1500 deaths, the second is the Canadian Queen of Ireland, with more than 1000 deaths, and the third is the West Tower of the United Kingdom. Niah, about 1200 people died.

In the original history, the fourth case was Japan's Hayabusa Maru, which was sunk by a British submarine during the Pacific War, and about 5260 people died. The fifth case was the largest shipwreck in history, which was Germany's William Gus The Trove was sunk by a Soviet submarine at the end of World War II. The death toll could not be counted due to the confusion and incompleteness of the boarding passenger list. It is estimated that there were 5300 to 9931 people.

).

Such a major shipwreck was called the "Titanic of the East" and "Titanic of the Pacific" (the Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean) by the Western media. The reason why the death toll was so high was that the ship was sailing in the Pacific Ocean and It was not in the waters between China and Japan, and the sea area where the incident occurred was more than 400 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland. When the rescue ship arrived, most of the crew and passengers had frozen to death or drowned.

In an interview with reporters, He Zuwei said: "I don't fucking regret it at all! The only thing I regret is why [-] Japanese died instead of [-] Japanese.

The Japanese launched this war against our country. Their army swaggered and killed people like hemp on our land. Their soldiers killed our civilians, and their civilians applauded their soldiers for their brutality. Therefore, it is only right and proper for them to pay the price!War, if you kill me indiscriminately, I have the natural power to kill you indiscriminately!Not only the Japanese government and the Japanese army will have to pay the price for instigating this war, but Japanese civilians will also have to pay the price!For those [-] Japanese dead ghosts on the Hikawa Maru, I only have two words, and they deserve it!This is fucking retribution!If your government doesn't start a war and your army doesn't kill our people, will we kill you? "

When asked "Why the Chinese Navy's small number of submarines can achieve such great results", He Zuwei replied after thinking: "It depends on the excellent performance of U-shaped submarines, reasonable submarine tactics, and the dedication of the officers and soldiers on board." The heroic spirit and excellent quality, the large number of Japanese merchant ships, the stupid IQ of the Japanese that is inversely proportional to the development of their shipping industry, and the low-energy anti-submarine capabilities of the Japanese Navy!"

Wang Lang, the captain of submarine u-1023, who ranked first in the record, agreed with this. He said: "The Japanese navy is a bunch of stupid pigs! Don't they know the attack and destructive power of submarines? Their destroyers are only equipped with Naval guns, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, torpedo tubes, but no sonar detectors and depth charge droppers, it is amazing how contemptuous they are for submarines.

It is not surprising that the Japanese navy has never suffered from submarines. The Qing army did not have submarines in the Sino-Japanese War, the Russian army did not have submarines in the Russo-Japanese War, and the German army had submarines in the last World War. The British, French, and Japanese have not been remembered, so they despise submarines very much (the British Navy originally paid more attention to submarines, because they suffered from German submarines during the last world war, but as sonar detectors were taken Invention, the British Navy therefore believed that submarines were useless, so they increasingly despised submarines-the result was that they again suffered from German submarines during this world war).

Since the Japanese are easy to fight, if we don't fight them, are we worthy of their stupidity and short-sightedness?Once, I found four large Japanese transport ships in the East China Sea, but there were two Japanese destroyers escorting them. According to the regulations, I had to give up the attack, but I didn't, because the target was too tempting, and I judged the two Japanese ships The destroyer wasn't actually a threat, so I ordered the attack, sent all four of the large transports to the bottom of the ocean, and my sub escaped unharmed by the random fire from the two Japanese destroyers, who dropped no depth charges, Because they don't have depth charges at all!"

Compared with the invincibility of the Chinese Navy submarines, the Japanese Navy submarines are disheartened and lackluster.

Rear Admiral Komatsu Teruhisa, who was in charge of commanding the submarine force of the Japanese Navy, was reprimanded or urged by King Hiroyuki, Admiral Minai, and Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida more than once. There is no goal!"

After the "Dashengguan Agreement" was signed, the Japanese Navy suspended the blockade of China's coastal ports for three months, making the long-blocked Chinese sea blood vessels unimpeded and unimpeded. In the first month alone, there were more than 40 German ships. Merchant ships came to Ningbo, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou and other ports. Most of these German merchant ships had sailed to the east, but due to the raging of Japanese submarines, they temporarily avoided Southeast Asia, or stranded in Cam Ranh Bay, a French colony in Vietnam, or stranded in the United Kingdom. Colonial Singapore did not dare to enter China's territorial waters. At this time, a "swarm of bees" arrived at the destination and docked, bringing a large number of weapons and equipment that the Chinese army urgently needed. In addition, there are a new batch of 12 submarines delivered to the Chinese Navy, including 2 transport submarines and 10 combat submarines.

Hitler really kept his word. He strongly supported Jiang Weiguo. Of course, this is what Jiang Weiguo deserved. The Middle East oil fields he gave to Hitler alone are enough for Germany to spend [-] billion U.S. dollars to thank China.

After the two good news came the bad news. The bad news was that Yang Jiang, the station chief of the Shanghai Maritime Bureau, reported to him that the Japanese had suddenly launched a "voluntary repatriation activity" in Shanghai starting yesterday, and that they had also launched a "voluntary repatriation activity" in Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Jiangyin, and Qidong, Nantong, Jingjiang and other places in Jiangbei are also carrying out this "voluntary repatriation activity".

"'Voluntary repatriation activities'?" Jiang Weiguo was very puzzled, "what?" He didn't know what it was, but he was sure it was not a good thing, because the Japanese "do everything except good things."

Yang Jianghui reported: The Japanese occupation authorities in Shanghai put up notices everywhere, claiming that "the imperial Japanese army came to China to help the Chinese people to overthrow the dark rule of Chiang Kai-shek's regime, and to work hand in hand with the Chinese people to build the 'Royal Way of Greater East Asia'." Paradise', for the collaborators and supporters, the Royal Army warmly welcomes and expresses its gratitude; for the skeptics and opponents, the Royal Army warmly welcomes them and does not embarrass them.

That is, those who are willing to obey the imperial army can stay in the area controlled by the imperial army, and those who are unwilling to obey the imperial army will be sent out of the country. The imperial army will escort Chinese civilians who are unwilling to obey the imperial army to the Kuomintang ruled area to prove the sincerity of the imperial army Good intentions, but the Chinese civilians who left the imperial army's control area are welcome to come back again after recognizing the true face of Chiang Kai-shek's regime and turning to the light!"

"What the hell is this little devil doing?" Jiang Weiguo was confused.

"Could it be that the Japanese are going to carry out a large-scale massacre?" Yi Shuihan guessed nervously and anxiously, "The Japanese army used this as a cover to lure our civilians to leave the city and then carry out massacres in the suburbs?"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly became terrified.

"No!" Yang Jiang was very sure, "The Japanese occupation authorities announced that this event would be supervised by personnel from third countries such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union, and the Japanese kept their word and invited many third-country personnel.

You all know that there are already tens of thousands of Westerners in Shanghai!"

"Could it be that the Japanese are buying people's hearts?" Liu Fengling guessed.

"I knew this..." Jiang Weiguo thought to himself, "Why did I spend so much effort to evacuate the people before the war!"

"No!" Xiao Yao looked alert and dignified, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Japanese army is planning to use our civilians as human shields!"

Chapter 291 Furious City (1)

The Nanjing battlefield fell into the calm before the blizzard again from mid-January after the Japanese army carried out a flashback-like fierce attack that ended in disastrous defeat.

For half a month, the Japanese army did not launch any more large-scale attacks, but only carried out harassment and sabotage. At the same time, they were busy conducting "voluntary repatriation activities" in southern Jiangsu.

On January 1, the first batch of Chinese civilians in the Japanese-occupied areas who were "unwilling to surrender to the imperial army and willing to go to the Kuomintang-controlled area" were "politely" sent by the Japanese army to Longtan Town, the outermost extended position in the easternmost section of Nanjing City. The total number exceeded five. Thousands of years ago, the Nanjing Army in Longtan Town took over this group of local people who were "sent out of the tiger's den and wolf's lair by tigers and wolves".

Luo Long is the deputy battalion commander of the 99rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 3th Division. He originally led three companies of officers and soldiers to carry out mobile defense in the Yanjiang Gate area outside Longtan Town, but this "miracle" happened. main participants.

This morning, Luo Long was patrolling and inspecting the position at the river gate. Snowflakes were blowing in the wind, and the ground was covered with snow. Thousands of corpses of Japanese soldiers were scattered in front of the position, frozen and stiff in the low temperature. , like colorful wood-carved pottery figurines.

"Poor bones by the Wuding River, they are still the people in the spring girl's dream!" Luo Long chanted, without any pity or emotion in his heart, because the corpses on the battlefield were all Japanese soldiers.

As for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers scattered on the battlefield, because the battle mode was the defense of the Nanjing Army and the attack of the Japanese army, most of the Japanese soldiers who died fell within the range of the Nanjing Army's machine guns, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to collect them. Although the Japanese army never cared much about human life, if It is too easy to affect morale if the mountains and plains are filled with dead officers and soldiers. When the Japanese army attacked again, they would see dead accomplices all over the ground in front of them. Therefore, the Japanese army sent envoys to contact the Nanjing Army and asked the Nanjing Army to cease fire for a certain period of time every day. , Let the Japanese soldiers who do not carry weapons go to the battlefield to collect the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who died in battle.

Naturally, Jiang Weiguo was not happy about this. It is hard to guarantee that the Japanese army will not play tricks. If the Japanese army who went to the Nanjing army's position to collect the corpses of their comrades was actually a "meat bomb" with grenades hidden in their clothes, wouldn't the Nanjing army be caught off guard? ?The reputation of the Japanese is too bad, so we have to guard against it; secondly, leaving the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere is actually a great thing. Seeing such a scene, the morale of the Nanjing army is boosted, but the morale of the Japanese army is low. Why not do it?Anyway, it was winter at this time, and the corpses of those ghost soldiers would not rot.

In the end, the Nanjing Army reached an agreement with the Japanese Army: First, the Japanese Army could exchange the dead officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army in the area controlled by the Japanese Army for the corpses of the killed officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army in the area controlled by the Nanjing Army. Take advantage, because the Nanjing Army seldom launched a counterattack, so there were not many remains of the dead officers and soldiers in the Japanese-controlled area); second, the Japanese army could exchange weapons and ammunition with the Nanjing Army for the corpses of the Japanese army’s dead officers and soldiers, and the higher the rank of the corpse, the exchange The more weapons and ammunition are needed, for example, the corpse of a Japanese private soldier needs 5 grenades or 200 rounds of 1-type rifle bullets, a Japanese major needs 2000 crooked light machine gun and 2 rounds of machine gun bullets, and a Japanese major needs 100 The 3-type infantry gun and 105 rounds are equipped with shells. As for the corpses of generals, they are even more rare and expensive. A Japanese major general needs at least three [-]mm light howitzers to exchange.

The Japanese army had no choice but to accept the Nanjing Army's sky-high asking price, but it was impossible for the Japanese army to consume too many weapons and ammunition, so they only exchanged the corpses of second lieutenants and above. As for the corpses of ordinary soldiers, most of them were still on the ground. As a result, a large number of Japanese corpses were piled up in front of the various positions of the Nanjing Army.

Just as Luo Long was reciting poems against each other, the officers and soldiers under his command reported that a small group of unidentified people dressed as civilians came to the front of the position.

After receiving the report, Luo Long hurriedly raised his binoculars, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen people who looked like ordinary Chinese people staggering towards them.

At first glance, he was sure that those people were not disguised by the Japanese army, because they were all old and weak, women and children. He looked at the common people carefully, and found that although the common people were nervous, they were not afraid, and there was even a little joy in their brows. And neatly dressed, with a normal face, unlike starving refugees.

"What's going on here? Where did the common people come from?" Luo Long was puzzled.

After these dozens of civilians were released to the position, they all showed joy and relief:

"Great! Finally saw our own national army! Finally arrived in the national control area!"

"It seems that they really keep their word!"

"Quickly tell the chief of the national army about the situation, so many people are waiting to come over!"

The leader, an old man in his 60s, told Luo Long that they were all citizens of Shanghai. The Japanese occupation authorities in Shanghai had been engaging in "voluntary repatriation activities" a while ago, claiming that those who did not want to stay in the Japanese-occupied area could be escorted to the country by the Japanese army. In the military-controlled area, you can go and stay freely, and you can leave as you want. Originally, most citizens did not believe the Japanese, thinking that the Japanese were playing some kind of conspiracy, maybe they were playing "leading the snake out of the hole", but next to each registration station Foreign journalists and foreigners in the concession were also invited to be present. Some bold citizens who wanted to leave Shanghai signed up cautiously. As a result, they were not arrested, harmed, or even made things difficult by the Japanese. As if asking God to go out, people happily approved the requests of those citizens to leave Shanghai. As a result, more and more citizens rushed to sign up, and were finally sent to Nanjing Outline by the Japanese in good faith.

"Sir, please accept us! We all want the national army and the central government, and we don't want to continue living under the Japanese rule! We don't want to be subjugated slaves, we want to defect to the Kuomintang-controlled area, and we want to do our best for the War of Resistance Work hard!" the people said in a hurry.

"Just a dozen of you?" Luo Long asked in surprise.

"No, there are thousands of people, and they are the first batch!"

"How did you get here?"

"By boat, the Japanese sent us to the river section four or five kilometers away from here. Thousands of people were on board. The Japanese sent us to inform you, sir!"

"The Japanese are so kind? They let you take a boat?" Luo Long was even more surprised. "Did the Japanese abuse you? Did the Japanese search you?"

"No! No!" The people shook their heads one after another, "We will not be beaten, scolded, robbed, let alone killed. There are foreign journalists on board who follow and report all the way!"

"It's so strange! It's so strange!" Luo Long was puzzled and reported to his superiors.
