Chapter 164

After talking about Zhou Lin, Dai Yu asked: "You said that there will definitely be a Shanghai war between China and Japan at the end of this year. What is the reason?"

Zhou Lin said: "Shanghai was opened very early in modern times. It was the largest economic and cultural center in China and the only international market in the country at that time. The British and American imperialists and the capital of the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen have been operating in Shanghai for many years. Economic benefits. Shanghai’s economy can be equivalent to more than half of Japan’s economy. This is the reason why Japan, which is in economic difficulties, most hopes to get Shanghai.”

Dai Yu nodded, this is recognized by the world.

"From a military point of view, Shanghai is located in the south of the delta of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. When the Huangpu River and the Suzhou River meet, it is the gateway to East China. The Japanese believed that once they occupied Shanghai and controlled the mouth of the Yangtze River, they would not only be able to control the situation in North China, but also contain the national army. Going north can also destroy China's economic lifeline and advance to Nanjing, so as to force the government to surrender and achieve the strategic goal of destroying China in three months."

Dai Yu's serious expression showed that Zhou Lin spoke from his heart.

After the end of the "January [-]th" Anti-Japanese War, Japan used the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" to restrict the national army and continued to prepare for new wars.

They used the Marine Corps Headquarters as the core base for operations in Shanghai, and established a Marine Corps barracks at Hongkou Airport that could accommodate more than [-] people.This place is very close to the North Station of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, which is of great strategic significance.In order to strengthen the defense and attack power, the barracks buildings were cast with reinforced concrete, and heavy artillery was placed on the roof.

At the same time, the Japanese army also set up military strongholds in Yangshupu Gongda Spinning Mill and Huxi Toyota Spinning Mill, which stood in a tripartite relationship with the Hongkou Barracks, forming its two wings.

In the Japanese Concession, the Japanese army built all kinds of bunkers in the commercial areas of Japanese overseas Chinese, all government agencies, schools, shops, and residences, and secretly hid various weapons in the basement.

Until the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Japan had set up more than [-] military installations in Shanghai. Together with the cooperation of the navy and air force along the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, Japan had controlled a favorable attack terrain for its strategy of "fighting on outer lines."

Dai Yu has reported these situations to the Military Commission many times.But none of those old men paid attention to it.There is only one thing in their hearts: the Japanese cannot be offended.

Dai Yu asked, "Is there any important news from the Japanese side?"

Zhou Lin handed over a piece of paper, and introduced: "On July 7, the Japanese cabinet held a five-minister meeting, and Marine Minister Mitsumasa Yonechi proposed that the North China War would soon spread to the whole of China, and Japan must prepare for a full-scale war against China. Prepare."

"On the 12th, in the secret plan for the war against China formulated by the Naval Command, the war against China was divided into two phases: in the first phase, the Second Fleet of the Navy cooperated with the Army to conduct operations in North China; in the second phase, the Army dispatched three divisions. The regiment cooperated with the Third Fleet of the Navy to first capture Shanghai, and then use Shanghai as a base to conduct operations in South China.

"On July 7, the Commander of the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy stationed in Shanghai, Admiral Hasegawa Kiyosaka, stated in the "Opinions on the Use of Forces Against China" to China: "If you want to use force to open up the status quo of Japan-China relations, you can only punish China." , to make China's (National Party) central forces yield. "And "if you want to put China to death, it is most important to control Shanghai and Nanjing." He suggested sending five divisions to Shanghai to fight in Central China to ensure the capture of Shanghai and Nanjing."

"On the 28th, Vice Minister of the Japanese Navy Yamamoto 56 and Deputy Chief of the Military Command Taro Taro ordered Hasegawa Kiyoshi to immediately evacuate the Japanese nationals along the Yangtze River and prepare for the battle in Central China."

At this moment, Zhang Yu came in.

"President, the intelligence personnel from Hongdu are calling. The Red Party has captured important personnel from Rite, and they are now being held in Huangdayuan."

Zhou Lin was not surprised at all.When he left Hongdu, he analyzed all possible situations.Of course I know, if you want to get the golden cicada out of its shell, you can't hide it from Dai Yu.Besides, the news that the Japanese sent Nokaki Kurata to Hongdu will come out sooner or later.It will be troublesome if Dai Yu finds out.

It's better to tell Dai Yu directly, so as not to worry about the future.

Of course, that underworld businessman is real.However, he was secretly detained by the Red Army.

Dai Yu didn't have any doubts.He thought that Zhou Lin's going to Hongdu would be an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes.Dai Yu agrees with Zhou Lin's escape from Hongdu.

Dai Yu held the paper in his hand and said, "I'll go back to Nanjing immediately and report the information you provided to the committee."

Zhou Lin asked for instructions: "Then what about my going to Xinjiapo?"

"Sure! Be careful! Aren't you going to participate in the upcoming defense battle? Then, I will arrange everything and wait for you, a military personnel who stayed in Germany, to return to China to participate in the war."

Zhou Lin saluted: "Thank you Virgo!"

After watching Dai Yu leave, Zhou Lin turned around and left as well.

He returned to the Shanghai house he had bought.The house is in the French Concession.At the beginning, I bought this suite because I was considering the future.

After buying this house, only Zhang Yu came to it once, and no one else knew about it.

Just when Zhou Lin was about to go out and go to the airport to check the air ticket to Singapore, Zhang Yu came.

"The director asked me to buy you a plane ticket. Time is tight, so I rushed over."

Zhang Yu handed over a plane ticket and one thousand dollars. "Singapore does not circulate legal currency, only US dollars are accepted. The chief said, you are considered a business trip this time, and I will give you [-] US dollars to spend on the way."

"Thank you Virgo!"

Zhou Lin took the ticket and took a look. It turned out that it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

I looked at my watch, it was 11:30 now.

Zhou Lin invited: "I treat you to dinner!"

Zhang Yu said: "Time is running out, you should go to the airport. By the way, the cigars there are very good, buy some good cigars back. Virgo hasn't smoked cigars for several years. Also bring me two boxes .As for the money, I won’t give it. Getting money is as easy as drinking boiled water.”

Zhou Lin promised: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Zhang Yu held Zhou Lin's hand and said, "I'm waiting for Zhou Lin to come back in a fair manner and fight side by side with me!"

"must!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Lin arrived at the airport.

Since he was in disguise, no one knew him.Even without makeup, it is estimated that no one will recognize her.

At exactly one o'clock, a plane flew into the sky and headed towards the South China Sea!

The flight distance from Singapore to Shanghai is 4000 kilometers.It took seven hours to fly by plane, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Singapore.

Domestic flights are grounded at night.But there are night flights to Singapore.It was only at ten o'clock in the evening that the airport was closed.

Singapore is located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, at the entrance and exit of the Strait of Malacca, adjacent to Malaysia across the Johor Strait to the north, and Indonesia across the Singapore Strait to the south.It consists of Singapore Island and 63 nearby small islands, of which Singapore Island accounts for 88.5% of the country's area.

Citizens of Singapore are mainly divided into four major ethnic groups: Chinese accounted for 4% of the population, as well as citizens of Malay (74.2%), Indian (13.3%) and Eurasian/mixed race (9.1%).The ancestors of most Singaporean Chinese originate from southern China, especially Fujian, Guangdong and HAN provinces.

In his previous life, Zhou Lin had never been to Xinjiapo, but he had read information about Xinjiapo.During the Republic of China, Singapore was in chaos.

Zhou Lin decided to settle down in the Chinese area.So, he checked into the "Huaxia Hotel".The reason why you want to live in such a good place is because the better the hotel, the more secure it is.

Before boarding the boat, Zhou Lin didn't want anything to happen.If something goes wrong, it will be watched by the police.It is likely to be targeted by other forces.

You know, there are no less than [-] gangs from various countries that have made a fortune in Singapore.

This is a seven-story hotel.This level is the highest in the Republic of China.But in Singapore, every inch of land is expensive.People can't expand the plane, so they look for the area toward the sky.

The waiter helped Zhou Lin put the box into the elevator. (In 1852, EG Otis of the United States developed a safety elevator for wire rope lifting.)
On the plane, Zhou Lin slept for more than five hours, so after entering the hotel, he didn't want to sleep.

If you just can't sleep, then go do something.

buy cigars.

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, Zhou Lin must do it.Besides, Zhou Lin returned to China from Germany. As Dai Yu's confidant, he must bring some gifts.

The thing Daiyu likes is cigars.

Besides, when Zhou Lin came back from Germany, he must bring some gifts for relatives and friends.Of course, these gifts have to convince everyone.Zhou Lin was brought back from Germany.

This is also a strong proof that Zhou Lin came back from Germany.If you come back from Germany, you bring a gift from China.Then, some people will doubt whether you have come back from Germany.

I believe the Japanese will also pay attention to what gift Zhou Lin brought back.

Buying German goods in China?joke!You can’t even buy pure German products in Shanghai. Where else can you buy them?

It's rarely available anywhere except in mainland Germany, and it's even harder to find in Asia.

However, Zhou Lin knew where it was sold.

That is a German street in Singapore.

There are quite a few streets in Singapore, all of which are named after various countries.Such as "China Street", "British Street", "French Street" and so on.

German Street does not actually exist, its name is "Red Street".Because all the people living on that street are Germans, and there are many Jews.Therefore, the local people call it "German Street".

Those who are not locals do not know.Even the people in Singapore, only 5.00% of them know German Street.

Through the information of his previous life, Zhou Lin knew that there was such a street.All the Jews lived there.

After Hitler came to power, he treated the Jews like a tiger.Therefore, a large number of Jews left Germany.Because Singapore is in the middle of the corridor between Germany and Asia, and the environment is good, Germans choose Singapore to settle down one after another.

In the bones of the Jews, they have business experience.After they came, they took advantage of the markets in Germany and Singapore to sell goods from Singapore back to Germany, and then bought goods from Germany and sold them in Singapore.

In the end, it became such a situation that as long as there are things that are available in the German market, you can also buy them on the German Street in Singapore.
