Chapter 912 Mysterious Target (Modified Version)

When the wheel of history came to December 1938, the world began to become magical. For example, a little "small change" occurred in Germany last month.

Under the control of a certain scorpion, hundreds of thousands of people in Germany "singed and danced", physically "mingled" with the Jews, and frantically destroyed houses, department stores, and churches.

The Judas, who once monopolized the German economy, suffered huge losses. About 300 churches, 7000 shops, and dozens of companies were damaged or destroyed in raging fires.

The windows of many Judahs were broken that night, and the broken glass glowed like crystals under the moonlight. German newspapers gave this catastrophe a very poetic name-Crystal Night.

Although the name is beautiful, the loss is not small. The value of the smashed glass alone has reached 600 million marks, which is equivalent to the total value of glass produced in Belgium for half a year.

In addition, tens of thousands of Judas men were arrested and thrown into prison, and more Judas were also asked to give up all their property and leave the "great" Germany as soon as possible.

Most of the world's media criticized this behavior, condemning the German government, and many countries also chose to break diplomatic relations with Germany in protest.

As for the national government, they have two completely different attitudes towards the consistent anti-Semitic policy of the Germans. One is that German spies and Japanese spies are trying to provoke the relationship between Red Russia and the Republic of China in Changcheng.

At that time, the "Ta Kung Pao" claimed that the Judahs ate hair and trampled on the soil, and they did not know the depth of the answer.

But after the Jiangcheng spy case, the state government and private newspapers immediately changed their positions, which can be seen from various sensational news headlines.

Headlines such as "The Germans are atrocious, the whole world is shocked", "The tragedy of the dark age is repeated", "The Berlin row is like crazy, hindering the diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany" are not uncommon.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between the People's Republic of China and Germany quickly dropped to a freezing point, many military cooperation plans were interrupted, and the German-made equipment of the Guojun lost supplies, and the frontline situation became increasingly pessimistic.

The military passivity triggered a series of consequences, which were finally reflected in politics. Some people in the government were uneasy about the status quo, and jumped out one after another to express pessimistic remarks about the war against Japan.

(I was warned, Wang will be changed to someone Ji in the future, and others will only use pronouns and abbreviations, trying to downplay the upper echelons of the Guodang)

Especially Ji, who has repeatedly stated in public that the government has never closed the door to mediation. If Japan proposes peace negotiations, it will not hinder the survival of the Republic of China, and we will accept it.

The situation gradually became turbulent, and the intelligence station stationed in Hong Kong City by the Military Command found out that important figures from the Ji family had a secret meeting with Japanese intelligence personnel in Hong Kong City, and the reports were reported layer by layer and sent to someone.

Realizing that the deputy might treason┴, this made someone break the defense, and immediately ordered the military command to end the investigation of the mansion case as soon as possible, and find out what the hell Ji was up to.

Someone urged Lao Dai, and Lao Dai naturally urged Zuo Chong. He spent almost half a day on the phone to inquire about the progress of the case, feeling very anxious.

On the morning of the second day after the five robed elder brothers of Wen Ren Tang were killed, Zuo Zhong had just woken up to read the morning newspaper when Mr. Cheap made another series of fatal calls to the temporary headquarters outside the air defense camp.

During the call, the other party said that if it doesn't work, the troops can be divided first, and the second office will continue to be in charge of the official residence case, and the first office will be transferred back to monitor Ji and his followers.

Of course Zuo Zhong would not agree to this kind of behavior of breaking sticks and throwing one away, and even if he knew that Ji was going to treason the country, what would the military commander do?

That's the No. [-] person in the government's name, and even a certain person restricts Ji's power a little bit, excludes him from the decision-making level, and dare not directly attack.

So transferring one place is at best helping Ji find a group of free bodyguards, which has no practical significance. Many things can only be dealt with when they happen.

Zuo Chong talked all kinds of things, but he finally managed to persuade Lao Dai, who was in a hurry, and hung up the phone. He had someone call Gui Youguang, and said to the other party in a dignified tone.

"How about it, is the action arranged? Let me tell you, there must be no mistakes. The committee is very dissatisfied with our progress and has already reprimanded the bureau.

Today's goal is of great importance. If the operation fails because of you, everyone including you will be dealt with by military law without exception. "

During the speech, he mentioned a person, but he didn't directly say the name, but replaced it with the target, obviously for the purpose of keeping secret.

After hearing this, Gui Youguang was not afraid, and patted his chest to reassure: "Don't worry, people are already watching, and I will lead the team later. The operatives are all old brothers from the period of ┴Chicken and Goose Lane, and nothing will happen.

Lao Gu and Dr. Ling also went to the hospital. As long as the witnesses woke up, they would immediately ask them. In order to prevent the Japanese from sending people to silence them, I arranged for the elite of the special operations team to protect them nearby. "

Zuo Zhong nodded slightly. All the senior agents in the bureau had followed him to carry out missions, and he was trustworthy in terms of ability and loyalty, so he waved his hand reassuringly and let Gui Youguang leave.

After the other party left, he reviewed the action steps and confirmed that there were no omissions in it. This is already the strongest operational force of the military command. If they can't keep track of the target, they can only be arrested directly.

However, this is the last resort, and there is a certain risk, because they don't know how long it will take for the target to speak. Spies are not iron men. Faced with cruel punishments and methods, they will definitely confess.

But how long the other party can persist is unknown. If the confession cannot be broken in a short period of time, and other spies get wind of it and evacuate, what they have done will be useless.

The most ideal result is to find the person behind the target through this monitoring┴and tracking┴. The Japanese spent so much effort to kill Brother Pao, this person must be very important.

After pondering for a while, Zuo Zhong left the headquarters and came to the mansion to find Wu Chunyang. The two pointed to the surrounding terrain while discussing something in a low voice.

On the other side, Gui Youguang finished disguising his face, changed into a coarse cotton coat that is common in wells in mountain cities, wrapped his head with a turban, and appeared at the Haitangxi Wharf with a bamboo basket on his back.

He hunched over and mixed in the crowd, stopped and walked to the stall┴gathering area, after picking and choosing, he squatted down in front of a fish shop.

"How's it going?"

Gui Youguang picked up a fish in his hand and looked down at the gills, asked the fishmonger in a low voice, and then yelled that the fish was not fresh, making a dissatisfied look.

The fishmonger showed dissatisfaction when he heard this, grabbed the fish in his hand, quickly scanned the pedestrians and the stalls next to him, and replied without moving his mouth.

"The target is eating sesame cakes on the opposite side. The details of the shop's regular customers, the boss, and the job are being investigated. Brothers are watching the traffic arteries near the pier, and they can relay follow-up at any time."

After finishing speaking, he put the fish back on the ground, scolded disdainfully, don't buy it if you can't afford it, and then turned to greet a new customer.

Gui Youguang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and when he got up, he glanced at the sesame cake shop across the street, and walked away after seeing the target's back.

He walked along the muddy dirt road for a while, and finally stopped beside a ferry boat by the river, shook the mud under his feet, and climbed onto the boat awkwardly.

It is said to be a ferry, but it is actually a wooden boat more than ten meters long, with sails in the middle and a tail at the end to control the direction. Such boats can be seen everywhere in mountain cities.

After all, the only way to get from the south bank area to the main city of the mountain city is by water, and the exchanges between the two sides are frequent, so many smart people took advantage of the opportunity to start the ferry business.

These ferry boats randomly stop at the edge of Jiang to attract passengers, and cross the river when the number of people is full. The fare is cheaper than that of the steamboat, and it only costs one or two cents per trip, which is affordable by ordinary people.

Besides, Gui Youguang boarded the boat, came to the front of the cabin and sat down, gave a sneaky wink to the boatman disguised as a spy, then turned his head to look at Jiang's face and said nothing.

To be honest, he was still a little confused until now, the deputy chief asked him to lead someone to control the water and land passages from the south bank to the outside world, and said that the target would definitely appear.

He didn't know where the passenger got the information, so Gui Youguang scratched his head through his hood and looked at another ferry a few miles away.

In order to ensure that the target does not lose sight, while he was operating, all of the more than 30 ferries docked along the south bank of the river were replaced by military special agents.

Fortunately, the ferry did not have a fixed stop, and the flow of personnel was very high, and there were many faces. Otherwise, he would not have dared to do this. The Japanese are not Zhongtong.

On the other side, the boatman received a hint and turned his attention to a big tree by the river beach. Under the tree, there was a fortune-teller holding up a pretense, and he was divination and fortune-telling for the people.

Different from other Changhu warlocks who observe words and expressions, this person's attention is not on the customers, but he is always observing the several roads near the Haitangxi pier.

The sun slowly rose to mid-air, and it was morning soon. There were only a few seats left on the originally empty ferry, but the boatman had no intention of sailing at all.

Passengers are used to being tricky, knowing that it is useless to complain, and they will not move unless they are full, so they all took out their hookahs and set up a dragon gate formation.

Gui Youguang also chatted happily with the people around him in Shancheng dialect, with a simple and honest face, no one could tell that he was the captain of the special operations team of the military command.

The boatman was still sitting high at the stern, staring at the fortune-teller with piercing eyes. Suddenly, a pedestrian hurried past, and the cover in the fortune-teller's hand was turned upside down.

"Let's sail~"

After a loud shout, the boatman went to the mast to raise the sail, and went to the bow to retract the springboard and anchor hook. The passengers smiled when they saw this, and finally they could leave.

Everyone stopped talking, and settled their seats to prepare to set off, but just as the ferry was about to leave, a figure ran from the direction of Haitangxi Wharf and shouted.

"and many more."

Before the sound fell, the person who came came quickened his pace and jumped onto the bow of the boat with a vigorous movement. With a bang, the ferry shook violently, and the people on board immediately cursed.

But the other party acted as if nothing had happened, swaggeringly sat on the seat, gently lifted the hem of his clothes, and the passengers sat up straight and closed their mouths.

Gui Youguang, who was in the corner, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and found that the target was coming, with a handbag pinned to his waist. After confirming that he was not following the wrong person, he slowly looked back and lowered his head.
