Chapter 1197 Final Arrangements and Calls

One day in August 1940.

In the quiet room on the second floor of Sucrose Trading Company, Zuo Shige told Ozawagawa about the follow-up arrangements of "Plan Z". He had already booked a ferry ticket to Japan and would leave Oahu tomorrow.

"Ozawa-kun, I have done everything I can, and you will complete the rest of the work alone. I will make some arrangements before leaving. You will know what they are specifically tomorrow.

When the time comes, you will report to Tokyo using your backup mailbox. 'Minami Kaichiro''s latent oil depot was exposed. He committed suicide to avoid being captured, but he sent back the construction data of the oil depot before his death. "

With that said, Zuo Zhong handed Ozawa a drawing that recorded various data. The above was the information he obtained from Hughes, but he made "slight" changes in some key data.

For example, he changed the thickness of the soil layer at the top of the Hongshan Oil Depot from 64.7 meters to 32.5 meters.

In the previous life, for unknown reasons, the Japanese army did not attack the oil depot at Pearl Harbor, and the remaining ships of the Pacific Fleet were able to quickly regain their combat effectiveness. Now with his participation, God knows what changes will happen.

What the Republic of China needs is for Japan and the United States to go to war, not for the Japanese navy to completely wipe out the Pacific Fleet. If the United States is really defeated, the Republic of China will not feel comfortable.

Therefore, the oil depot must be protected without exposing the identity of the fake spy. The best way is to manipulate key data and mislead the Japanese through false information.

As for whether the Japanese have the ability to blow up the Hongshan Oil Depot, this issue does not need to be discussed. The concept of earth-penetrating bombs had already appeared during the last European War, and military research institutions in various countries have technical reserves.

With the strength of the Japanese, who can guarantee that the other side will not suddenly explode and create an earth-penetrating bomb comparable to the British "Tallboy".

以“高脚柜”为例，如果从两万英尺（6100米）的高空投下，它能造成一个80英尺（24米）深、100英尺（30米）宽的弹坑，并能穿透16英尺（5米）厚的混凝土。

The Japanese only need to drop 3 to 5 similar bombs to put the Pacific Fleet into a situation of insufficient fuel for a long time and expand Japan's strategic advantage.

Maybe the world line of this world will develop in the direction of "The Man in the High Castle" - Japan and Germany are victorious, Britain and the United States surrender, and Yankees are fighting guerrillas in the city.

Opposite him, Ozawakawa opened his mouth wide. Is Nan Jiajun going to evacuate, and leaving him alone on Oahu Island? How can this be done? He immediately wanted to say something, but Zuo Zhong didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Ozawa, the preliminary tasks have been completed. What you have to do in the future is to go to the commanding heights of Pearl Harbor every seven days to observe the mobilization of warships in the port, and pass the obtained information to Tokyo. The risk level is very low."

After roughly explaining the contents of the remaining tasks, Zuo Zhong patted Ozawakawa on the shoulder and drew a pie for him.

"I'm thinking about you. Once Plan Z is successful, you will be the first to succeed. With your military rank and qualifications, it is not impossible to directly become the captain of the combined fleet.

But let me give you a suggestion. You must find a way to serve on the "Snow Peak" and try to rescue your colleagues and American sailors who fell into the water during the battle. "

Ozawagawa's head was buzzing. He didn't understand the other party's intention in saying these words. Why did he go to the Xuefeng and why did he want to rescue the enemy? Did Nan Jiajun have a new plan?

Zuo Zhong didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to remind them for the sake of their friendship. After all, the later stages of the Pacific War were so tragic that Ozawa had to serve on the Xuefeng, one of the three auspicious signs, to survive. possible.

As a partner, he didn't want to see Ozawa become the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King. Moreover, after the war, he also needed to drive a nail in the Japanese Navy.

Saving the Americans would allow Ozawa to escape liquidation. Otherwise, with Mai Tianchu's "magnanimity", the other party would have to die in prison even if he did not die on the front line.

After being silent for a while, Ozawakawa nodded and said that he would follow Zuo Zhong's suggestion.

"Yea, very good."

Zuo Zhong nodded with satisfaction, then leaned forward and whispered one thing.

He hoped that Ozawa could win over the Japanese immigrants on the island, especially young people who were dissatisfied with their current situation, and guide them to take advantage of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The targets of the robbery are tentatively designated white residential areas, schools, governments, police stations, ONI stations, etc., with the purpose of destroying the foundation of American rule in Hawaii.

Politically speaking, the greater the hatred between the people of the United States and Japan, the better it will be for the Republic of China and China in the future. For the sake of the nation, the innocent people on Oahu will only suffer.

More importantly, disguise and makeup are not omnipotent. Zuo Zhong wants to use these hot-headed guys to get rid of Americans who have met him, such as ONI agents.

Otherwise, after the war, someone recognized that the deputy director of the Republic of China Military Command had appeared in Hawaii. Would he be dead by then? Or die?

If a person has no long-term worries, he will always have immediate worries. Be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years. These two sentences are important and should always be kept in mind.

When you are unable to take action, borrowing a knife to kill is the only way. There are hundreds of thousands of Japanese immigrants on Oahu, so it would be a shame not to use it.

Don't underestimate the ordinary people who are incited. Blind obedience is terrible. It doesn't matter if Americans have guns. The large number of Japanese thugs will teach Uncle Sam a profound lesson.

"Hai, I understand, but winning over requires funds." Ozawa first responded, then hesitated.

The profits of the Sugar Trading Company are public funds and cannot be used at will. Every penny has to be accounted for. He can never use his own money to supplement the tasks.

Hearing this, Zuo Zhong said meaningfully: "Tokyo will definitely agree to this plan. You can report the amount spent as appropriate. No one will care about such a trivial matter."

Anyway, the money belongs to the Japanese. He doesn't feel bad at all when he says this. He has to put a carrot in front of the donkey. What's wrong with carrying out such a dangerous task to get some money? You can't ask the horse to run and not give it to the horse at the same time. Eat grass. Ozawakawa grinned, the motivation is here, what is discretion, discretion is how much you say, it is impossible for Tokyo to send someone to check the accounts.

Suddenly, Ozawa, who was immersed in joy, realized another problem. He quickly asked Zuo Zhong when he wanted to retreat.

When Plan Z was launched, the bombs flying all over the sky didn't have eyes. If he died under an air strike by "one of our own", it would be an unjust death.

Zuo Zhong glanced at him deeply and said quietly: "Ozawa-kun, you are so honest. If you are targeted by ONI, how will Tokyo deal with it?"

"Of course, retreat, then send..."

Ozawakawa slapped his thigh, yes, he just had to find a chance to tell Tokyo before the air raid that he had been exposed. In order to avoid the plan being leaked, Tokyo would definitely let him retreat.

After discussing the minutiae, the two of them talked about the details of the mission to ensure that there would be no accidents after Zuo Zhong left.

In the evening, Zuo Zhong and Ozawa invited local friends to a farewell party. Everyone was sorry for "Nan Jiajun" to return to Japan, but they also expressed their understanding. After all, "Nan Jiajun"'s younger brother was about to go to the battlefield of the Republic of China, and it was normal for his brother to return home to see him off.

During the dinner, Zuo Zhong felt the cell phone vibrating in the space. He smiled and raised his glass to the guests, silently guessing who sent the message.

The next morning, Zuo Zhong declined everyone's farewells, got into a taxi and headed to the Honolulu Pier, disappearing from the sight of Ozawa and others.

A few hours later, an explosion occurred in the mountainous area north of the Red Mountain Oil Depot. The Honolulu police found an indiscernible human remains at the scene. Based on the skin color, the deceased was judged to be an Asian male. The identification of the body was also published in the newspaper. Notice.

A few days later, the Hase Agency received a notification from the Navy Military Command, which expressed its deep condolences for the death of "Minami Kaichiro". Along with the notification, there was a pension of 500 yen.

While Hase despised the stinginess of the military, he put the money into his wallet. Although flies are small, they are still meat, and 500 yen is enough for him and his fiancée to eat a French meal.

Regarding the explosion that occurred on Oahu, the Republic of China newspapers only published a brief message and put it aside. Everyone's attention was focused on the international situation after the German-Japanese-Italian alliance.

On September 9, Germany, Japan, and Italy signed a military alliance treaty in Berlin, namely the "Germany, Italy, and Japan Tripartite Alliance Treaty," commonly known as the "Tripartite Axis Agreement," also known as the "Berlin Convention." The treaty is valid for 27 years.

This incident marked the complete formation of the Axis Powers. People of insight in the Republic of China understood that the most dangerous moment had arrived, but as long as they survived, the international structure would undergo great changes.

Because of the German-Japanese-Italian alliance, it was not the Republic of China that was most anxious, but the British and American countries. The re-opening of the Burma Road, which had been closed under Japanese pressure, is proof of this.

Sure enough, in the past two or three months, the amount of materials transported to the Republic of China via the Burma Road increased several times. The mountain city suddenly became an important force blocking Japan's expansion in Asia, and various aids poured in.

11月29日，美国总┴统指示国会在24小时之内给予山城一笔5000万美元的平准基金贷款，还要求进出口银行另外提供一笔5000万美元的商业贷款。

The next day, Washington issued a statement of financial aid to China. The news spread to the Republic of China, adding some morale to the struggling anti-Japanese forces.

That night, all the high-end restaurants and nightclubs in the mountain city were full. Government officials and military officers stayed up all night to relieve their depression and excitement. I heard that someone and Darling both had an extra bowl of rice.

Mountain City Party Headquarters.

Xu Weiming is sitting in the office, holding a teacup in his left hand and the Central Daily News in his right hand. From time to time, he lowers his head and blows on the hot tea, then takes a sip, feeling indescribably leisurely and comfortable.

Outside the door, all the party staff were smiling, discussing where to go after get off work to have fun, as if the war was over.

As for why they are so happy, it’s just that their wallets are bulging.

With the financial support of the Americans, the government showed a rare act of generosity. Not only did it make up for the salary that had been suspended for several months, it also issued a wartime "relief" subsidy.

Xu Weiming listened to the noise outside and sighed helplessly. His eyes stayed on the headline "Hawaii Oil Depot Explosion" for a moment, and his mind subconsciously analyzed the information behind the news.

As an intelligence officer, he knew that a critical location like an oil depot would not explode for no reason. The matter might have been caused by agents, Germans or Japanese.

Just as Xu Weiming was brainstorming, the phone on the table rang. He put down the newspaper and put the receiver to his ear. The voice of his partner Bai Wenzhi came from the other end.

"Old Xu, Director Li, the military commander, just called and said he would treat us to a drink at 7pm on New Year's Day. Does this old boy want money again?"

Bai Wenzhi's tone was very angry. Anyone who was knocked several times in a month would have this reaction.

Ever since he listened to Zuo Zhong's advice and obtained a commercial radio license from Li Qiwu, Li Qiwu has been using this matter to seek benefits from him and Xu Weiming, amounting to thousands of dollars.

Li Qiwu was lying on the two of them like greedy leeches. The little money he earned from the business was not enough to deal with each other. Even the good-tempered Xu Weiming was furious when he heard this.
