Chapter 248 Meet Hashimoto

Wuhan, in a small building not far from the Yellow Crane Tower.

Hashimoto Ryutaro sat on the second floor, drinking tea, smoking a cigar, and looking at the documents in his hand.

"Report, Tatsuo Kosaka and the others are here."

The adjutant shouted from outside the door.

Hashimoto Ryutaro said: "Let Kosaka Tachio and Kurata Yuki come over, and you will arrange rest for the others."

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, Tachio Kosaka and Zhou Lin came to the office where Ryutaro Hashimoto was.

Zhou Lin stepped forward to salute: "Report to Your Excellency, Kurata Yuki thank you for your life-saving grace."

Hashimoto Ryutaro waved his hand: "The matter of saving you was discussed with the general. Don't worry, the empire needs you, so I rescued you."

"I will definitely live up to Your Excellency's high expectations and devote myself to the empire!"

"Good! Sit down and talk."

After sitting down, Tatsuo Kosaka reported the process of this operation to Ryutaro Hashimoto.

Hashimoto Ryutaro said: "Your operation was very successful this time. You have made great contributions in rescuing Kurata-kun. It is a pity that the person from the Red Party was not killed!"

Lixiong Kosaka and his party were in a hurry and didn't have time to read the newspapers, so they didn't know about the bombing in Hongdu.

"Your Excellency, I arranged for No. [-] to scatter broken glass on the outside of the cave, so as to locate our air force. When the glass encounters sunlight, it will reflect and then shoot the reflected light into the sky. Our pilots can see When you get to the reflective place, you can precisely locate the bombing."

"That's right! Your plan is good! However, No. [-] misplaced the broken glass. The broken glass he placed was next to the target. As a result, all the bombs dropped by our plane fell next to the target. According to our insider report, The target suffered only minor injuries, which are not life-threatening."

Lixiong Kosaka stood up: "This No. [-], why did you put it in the wrong place?"

Hashimoto Ryutaro asked: "Where is No. [-]? Let him come over and ask."

Lixiong Kosaka lowered his head: "He has already died for his country!"

Zhou Lin added: "When we were in Huangjiayuan, the plane bombed the prison, and the prison was in chaos. We took the opportunity to rush out. However, the red party in the prison chased us. In order to cover us. On the [-]th, they served as a blocking mission. In the end, they all died under the guns of the Red Party."

"Why let them be responsible for blocking?"

Lixiong Kosaka said: "That's our plan. After No. [-] scattered the broken glass over there, he went to the gate of Huangjiayuan to take care of it. When the Red Party came after them, they stopped them."

"Once he died, we didn't know why the broken glass was misplaced," Hashimoto said.

Zhou Lin deliberately said: "Could it be that he was discovered by the Red Party after he put the broken glass, so the Red Party moved the position and directed the plane to bomb the wrong place."

Ryutaro Hashimoto shook his head, and said, "This possibility is unlikely. You can think of it, and others will think that the Red Party will not do such a useless thing. Besides, if they position themselves, they can move farther away." , why put it so close. You know, the target was bombed, but it didn't endanger life."

Zhou Lin asked: "The target was directly injured?"

"Really, our insiders saw their doctors go to treat the target, and there was a lot of blood."

Zhou Lin immediately thought in his mind that if he could see the blood on the chief's body and the process of the doctor's treatment, then the traitor should be around the chief.He is not a confidant, he may be the surrounding guards or other staff.

Lixiong Kosaka said: "Could it be that the security outside the target cave is too strict, and there is no chance to attack. No. [-] had to put the broken glass around the target cave. He thought that the bomb is very powerful. As long as it shakes, The nearby cave dwellings have to collapse, which can also kill people.”

Zhou Lin nodded: "It should be like this. There are guards around the target, and there must be people who secretly protect it. If you want to put broken glass under the noses of these people, if you don't put three pieces of glass, you will be caught and caught."

Hashimoto Ryutaro also agrees with this statement. "Your plan is still lacking. To put broken glass in a heavily guarded place, you think those guards are blind and deaf."

Lixiong Kosaka lowered his head: "It's my responsibility! That's the only way we can take it! There is nothing better than being bombed to attract the attention of Hongdu people, so there will be mistakes."

Hashimoto Ryutaro said: "A little mistake will not affect your great achievements. Kosaka-kun, go and rest. I want to talk to Kurata-kun."

Tatsuo Kosaka left.

Zhou Lin sat on the sofa, waiting for Hashimoto Ryutaro's questioning.

Hashimoto Ryutaro took a sip of tea, pointed to the watermelon on the tea table and said, "Eat the watermelon. This melon is similar to the one you bought for me back then, and it's all delicious."

Zhou Lin knew that this old guy doubted himself.

Zhou Lin said: "Your Excellency! You are wrong! The melon I gave you was not bought. It was grown in my own backyard."

Hashimoto Ryutaro asked: "Is there someone in your family that kind of melon?"

"No one grows melons. My parents have been dead for a long time. The melons are wild. After the original melons rot, the seeds go into the soil, and the next year they germinate, grow melon vines, and bear fruit. Zhang Wang Melon."

Hashimoto Ryutaro nodded, and asked, "When you gave me Zhangwang Melon, how did you distribute it?"

Zhou Lin quickly replied: "I ask you to send ten melons to the commander in Tianjin and the head of the Kosaka office, and you will take the rest of the melons."

Hashimoto Ryutaro asked again: "Where did we meet for the first time?"

"On the plane. It was on the plane from Mudanjiang to Taiwan. After getting off the plane, you asked me if I needed your help to arrange it. I said no. So I bought a ticket, flew to Ningbo, and then took a boat from Ningbo Going to Shanghai."

Hashimoto Ryutaro confirmed that this is the real Kurata.People who pretend to be don't know these things at all.

Hashimoto Ryutaro stretched out his hand: "Welcome back! Kurata-kun!"

Zhou Lin stretched out his hand and shook Hashimoto Ryutaro.

After the two sat down again, Zhou Lin reported the situation in Huangjiayuan. "I was interrogated a total of eight times. People from the Red Party couldn't confirm my identity, but they had great suspicions about me. Therefore, they didn't allow people to contact me. I was left alone in that cell After staying for a few months, my language function almost regressed. Also, I didn’t eat meat for a few months, and I vomited from the porridge and rice with wild vegetables and sweet potatoes.”

Hashimoto Ryutaro said: "Thank you!"

Zhou Lin asked, "Why was I arrested as soon as I arrived in Hongdu?"

"That's because the news that we sent you to Hongdu has leaked."

Zhou Lin pretended to be surprised: "Can this news leak? Did it leak from Tokyo?"

"Yes! We are investigating the person who leaked the news. It should be someone from the Red Party among us."

Zhou Lin stopped talking, picked up the watermelon on the coffee table and ate it.After taking three bites, I stopped eating: "What kind of melon is this? It's too unpalatable!"

Hashimoto Ryutaro smiled: "You think everyone is like you, Zhang Wang melon, the head of the family. This melon is the best watermelon in China. We captured Shanghai and found a freezer with this melon in it. Look When you came back, I wanted to express condolences to you, so I transferred ten watermelons."

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Hashimoto Ryutaro threw a cigar to Zhou Lin and said, "Do you remember what I said when I was in Tokyo?"

"Do you talk a lot?"

"I said half a year later."

Zhou Lin immediately remembered: "You said that in half a year, you will be transferred to Shanghai. You said, when the time comes, let me join your team."

"Yes! Now, let me inform you that you are officially transferred to the Secret Service of the Imperial Japanese Empire's Shanghai Expeditionary Army."

Zhou Lin stood up: "Obey!"

"Your Excellency, when will I go to the Shanghai Secret Service?"

Hashimoto Ryutaro said: "Remember the plan I told you about Li Daitao's death?"

"Remember, for this, I was stabbed. I also removed a mole on my body."

Hashimoto Ryutaro said seriously: "Then I will officially inform you that from now on, this plan will be officially launched."

Zhou Lin asked in puzzlement, "How to activate it?"

"During the time you stayed in Huangjiayuan, many things happened outside..." Hashimoto Ryutaro tirelessly told Zhou Lin what happened in the four months.

While listening, Zhou Lin took a small notebook and memorized it.

When finally, Hashimoto Ryutaro said that they intercepted and killed Zhou Lin in the Yangtze River, Zhou Lin pretended to be relaxed.

"I understand what your Excellency means. That is to say, I will take over his mess as Zhou Lin."

"Yes! Under Zhou Lin's command, there is a special forces team capable of conscripting and fighting well, and a ranger team with a large number of people. We need you to control these two teams. Try to use them for me."

Zhou Lin asked: "Pull it over?"

"No! You can't pull them over for the time being! You have to slowly corrupt them and make them respect you. In the early stage, we will not let these two teams do things. Their behavior is still the same as in the past. We are planning for the future. "

Zhou Lin: "In the future?"

"Yes! This team is Dai Yu's team, and you are in control. In the future, they will definitely be valued by the surname Jiang and placed in an important position. At that time, when the imperial army has a big move, you can Bring this team to cooperate with us, to cooperate internally and externally, and when it is critical, we will not be able to defend against the Chinese army."

Zhou Lin scolded Hashimoto Ryutaro countless times in his heart.But on the surface, he still nodded with a smile, praising the idea as a good one.

"Then how do I arrange it next?"

Hashimoto Ryutaro said: "Lixingshe didn't know that Zhou Lin was dead. They are still arranging for people to find Zhou Lin. Because the imperial army has occupied both sides of the Yangtze River above Changshu. Therefore, the search effect of Lixingshe is very poor. We have already A person was sent, who was seriously injured, and was found on purpose by the riverside in Changshu, after that, the person was rescued. He is currently recovering from his injuries."

Zhou Lin understood: "I'm going to replace the wounded man, but I'm not injured?"

"The man was not injured either, he was stunned by the bomb and had a concussion. So, you just have to be a concussion patient."

"Concussion? It's easy!"
