The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Gavin, who was brought into Long Fei's office, heard gunshots outside and hurriedly tried to run to the window to look, but was forcibly stopped by the special forces soldiers.

At this moment, Long Fei, who was sitting opposite them, said coldly, "Lieutenant Colonel Gavin, there's no need to look anymore. Apart from the two of you, all the other prisoners have been executed."

"What? Execute them all? You... how could you do this... I already made them surrender..."

"Does surrendering mean you won't die? You killed so many of my brothers, shouldn't you pay with your lives?"

"This...hey..."

Gavin grabbed his hair with both hands, looking down and making frustrated noises.

"Alright, I want to ask you two, do you want to die or live?"

Gavin and Anderson looked up at Long Fei without saying a word.

Long Fei continued, "If you want to die, I'll send you on your way right now. If you want to live, send a telegram to your superior right now saying that the operation was a success and that I have been captured alive."

"I'll give you one minute to consider. The timer starts now."

After saying that, Long Fei put the pistol on the table and looked at his watch.

Gavin and Anderson exchanged a glance and then fell into deep thought.

Time passed quickly, and with only ten seconds left, Long Fei began the countdown.

"Ten...nine...eight...three..."

On the count of three, Long Fei picked up his pistol and pointed it at Gavin's forehead.

Gavin gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and awaited the final moment of his life.

At that moment, Anderson suddenly spoke up: "No...don't shoot, I'll send a message right away."

Long Fei brandished his pistol, signaling to send a message immediately.

Anderson quickly took the radio off his back and then skillfully began to operate it.

"Drip-drop... drip-drop... drip-drop..."

Anderson finished sending the message in less than a minute.

At this moment, Long Fei instructed, "Go and find them some food."

After saying that, Long Fei took out a cigarette and tossed one to Gavin and one to Anderson.

Then Long Fei lit his own cigarette and asked, "Is your commander Ridgway?"

"um, yes."

Long Fei chuckled inwardly, never expecting to clash with Li Qiwei so soon.

"Deputy Commander Xu, it's your turn to perform now. Don't mess it up. Also, immediately notify the relevant personnel of the former Special Operations Battalion. They must leave now and arrive here before dawn."

Xu Peng knew, of course, that the people Long Fei was referring to were the ones who owned the subsystem, so he immediately left to notify them.

Upon receiving the call confirming the operation's success, Ridgway was extremely excited and immediately reported it to Director Donovan and President Ross.

At that moment, President Ross and Donovan were together waiting for news, smoking cigars and drinking whiskey, having stayed up all night.

Upon receiving the good news from Ridgway, they couldn't help but raise their arms and shout together.

"Now that Long Fei is under our control, the Longyan Kingdom and the Longyan People's Army are leaderless. I think we should immediately send our terms to the Longyan Kingdom."

"Yes, I agree. Director Donovan, get on it right away. I have only one request: that the Dragon Flame Kingdom sign a written treaty and that the whole world be notified."

"Yes, Mr. President."

Shortly after, Ridgway received a reply from the president, instructing him to order the action forces to keep Long Fei under control and remain in place. Ridgway then sent a reply to Gavin.

Upon receiving the reply, Long Fei ordered Gavin and Anderson to be detained in separate rooms, and then waited for the situation to escalate.

After making the notification, Xu Peng returned to his office.

"Check your subsystems to see if they're working properly."

Seeing Long Fei's somber expression, Xu Peng hurriedly called out to Xu Xiaobai.

After calling for a long time, Xu Xiaobai remained unresponsive.

"Commander Long, there's no response. Could there be a problem with the system?"

Long Fei nodded silently: "Our global expansion plan will probably have to be put on hold for the time being. Without the support of the system, our current weapons and equipment will have no logistical support."

Xu Peng's mood suddenly turned somber. He sat opposite Long Fei, and although he rarely smoked, he took a cigarette from Long Fei, lit it, and took a deep drag.

However, the sudden stimulation from the pungent smell of smoke caused Xu Peng to cough violently.

"This cigarette is fucking burning my throat, I don't know what's so good about it."

Long Fei gave a wry smile, lit a cigarette for himself, and then joked, "If a person is poor, blame the foundation; if the roof leaks, blame the tiles."

Xu Peng rolled his eyes at Long Fei: "Commander Long, at a time like this, you're still in the mood for jokes. I'm so worried."

"What's the use of worrying? There's always a way out. After the darkest hour comes the dawn. Are we just cowards without a system?"

"Back then, when our ancestors fought against seventeen countries, they didn't even have a system, let alone air or sea control. Their weapons and equipment were far behind their opponents, yet they still managed to establish a formidable military might."

"Commander Long, what do you mean?"

Long Fei looked at Xu Peng seriously and said, "Originally, I planned to deal with the United States last, but now that they have taken the initiative to cause trouble, I am prepared to adjust my strategic layout."

"I estimate that the US wants to capture me alive in order to force us to agree to some of their conditions, so I plan to first use a counter-strategy, then carry out a deception, and then launch a decapitation strike against the US to capture their president alive."

"I want to detonate our last sweet potato in Alaska, I want to raise the Dragon Flame flag on the torch of the Statue of Liberty, I want to blow up the portraits of the four presidents on Capitol Hill, I want to establish the Dragon Flame Kingdom's prestige throughout the world and put enormous psychological pressure on the Western powers."

"Next, our strategy will remain unchanged, but we will change our tactics and use our existing weapons and equipment to create a strong deterrent against the enemy, subdue them without fighting, and achieve our established strategic goals in the shortest possible time."

"What do you think of my plan?"

Xu Peng was indeed taken aback by Long Fei's extravagant gesture. After careful consideration, he cautiously offered a reminder.

"Commander Long, you're walking a tightrope. One wrong move and you'll be smashed to pieces."

Long Fei's eyes were sharp, and he nodded firmly: "That's right, but I think it's not about walking a tightrope, but about taking an unconventional approach and not following the usual path."

Xu Peng suddenly stood up and said with unwavering determination, "Commander Long, I support you. No matter the outcome, I, Xu Peng, will have no regrets and will die without regrets."

Long Fei was also very excited at this moment. He stood up and hugged Xu Peng tightly.

"A true man should live as a hero and die as a ghost."

"Commander Long, well said..."

Suddenly, Xu Peng remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Commander Long, didn't you plan ahead and hide a lot of weapons, equipment and supplies in the deep mountains of the Korean Peninsula? These are enough to support us for half a year."

Long Fei quickly shook his head: "No, this is our last lifeline. We can't touch it unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, this matter must be kept absolutely secret."

"Okay, I see."

Just then, the monk suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Commander Long, I'm so angry! You need to take a look at the telegram sent by the United States."

Xu Peng hurriedly stepped forward, took the telegram and began to read it. After reading it, he handed it to Long Fei and couldn't help but start cursing.

"That's fucking outrageous."

Although Long Fei did not know what conditions the United States had offered, he had already anticipated them, so he calmly took the telegram from Xu Peng.
