Shadow Spy

Chapter 228 The arrival of the 15th Infantry Regiment

Huo Fen and Wu Yusheng, who had just joined, talked about technical issues. Wang Renqiang, Jiang Anhua and Nick on the side listened like a book from heaven and were at a loss. However, Li Junhao understood most of it!
I have to say that both of them are geniuses. Although some of their ideas cannot be realized at all now, the overall idea is correct.Li Junhao believes that with his own support and guidance, as well as sufficient financial support, these two guys can create the "Skynet" in the science fiction movies of previous lives!
It is a pity that in this era, we do not yet have the conditions for a technological explosion. We cannot even build a transistor. It is impossible to achieve these technological breakthroughs. It is just a fantasy.

Finally, Wang Renqiang couldn't listen anymore and interrupted: "Chief Huofen, Wu Yusheng, let's talk about how to use the existing conditions to find Chimu Chizhi, the guy who is plotting to harm the boss!"

Jiang Anhua and Nick nodded in agreement, but Li Junhao stood up and said: "Okay, you can discuss the rest. Don't worry, we have plenty of time to play with this guy Akagi!" After that, he went out, there was still a lot of work to do. He told him that the specific matters should be handled by these professionals. He was going to do something big!

At 10:26 a.m. on Thursday, October 08, the Wusong Pier in Shanghai has been put under martial law by 30 U.S. Marines. A group of officers were waiting on the pier, headed by the ambassador who flew to Shanghai from Chongqing yesterday. The military attaché of the Consulate General, Colonel Paul Reed, the military attache of the Shanghai Consulate General, Naval Lieutenant Colonel Rick Kelton, the Deputy Military Attaché, Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Ognyan Lee Panson, and the Commander of the Fourth Marine and Land Regiment, Deejay. Lieutenant Colonel Cole and others are here.

Kelton and Cole were not familiar with Ruide Bao, so they asked Li Junhao to accompany the current top U.S. military official in China. The two were now considered acquaintances, so they could talk.

Bao Ruide was very interested in Li Junhao, especially because his predecessor, Colonel Stilwell, once said to him before leaving: Maintaining a good relationship with Pan Sen will be beneficial to his future military career.

"I heard that you were assassinated a few days ago. How was it? Has the murderer been caught?" Ruide asked.

"The gunmen who carried out the attack on the spot were all killed, but the instigator behind the scenes has not yet been arrested." Li Junhao said.

"Oh, are you sure it's the envoy?" said Bao Ruide.

"It's basically confirmed, but things are a bit difficult to handle..." Li Junhao didn't want to say more, because if he did, the other party wouldn't be able to solve it.

"Pan Sen, don't worry." Ruide obviously understood this and said something ambiguous, "Now that the 15th Infantry Regiment is here and the military strength in Shanghai has increased, everything will be fine."

Li Junhao smiled bitterly and said: "Colonel, the 15th Regiment is here, plus the 327th Marine and Land Regiment and my newly formed 8000th Regiment... Oh, there are only [-] additional troops arriving in a few days. Do you think we can fight against Beijing?" The Japanese troops in the Shanghai area? Obviously not, how can it get better?"

Hearing this, Ruide Bao was speechless. This is a realistic situation. Without sufficient military strength, anything you say is in vain!At this time, he thought of the secret mission from the Ministry of Defense: If the situation in China changes, Deputy Attaché Pan Sen stationed in Shanghai will be transferred to a safe area as soon as possible. If necessary, he can contact the US military base in the Philippines or the British military in Hong Kong. , sending planes to assist in evacuation.

This order made Bauer understand that in the minds of senior officials in Washington, the actual status of the young Lieutenant Colonel Panson in front of him was much higher than his own - at the very least, there would not be a special plane to pick him up when he encountered danger.He had no resentment in his heart about this.Soon after joining the army, he understood that when danger comes, no matter which country or force it is, there will be a "staircase of death". He himself has now reached a higher level than most people, but this Panson is better than himself. It's just one level or two higher, there's nothing to complain about. This is the law that everyone must follow in society.

Li Junhao was really worried at this time - in the past two days, he had gone to learn more about the performance of the 15th Regiment stationed in Jinmen. To describe it in one sentence, this unit was basically rotten to the core!

Since entering Tianjin for the second time, this unit has been stationed in China for 27 years now (in previous history, the 15th Infantry was evacuated and returned to China in 26 after being stationed for 1938 years). It has become extremely depraved.

据1928年的统计，No.15团士兵中因饮酒过量而送医院治疗的人数占总人数的43.8‰。为此，No.15团从1928年到1938年的11年中共进行了9次禁酒运动，但直到1938年底时，酗酒者仍高达14.5‰，是美军当时平均比例3.5‰的4倍多。

In addition, the commander of the No. 15 Regiment had to take some measures to prevent the development of the disease.According to statistics, the number of Hualiu patients in the No. 15 Regiment in 1938 reached 67.3‰, which was twenty times the average ratio of the US military. "It can be seen how dirty the life of the No. 15 Infantry Regiment in Jinmen is.

Also, as foreign troops stationed on Chinese soil, not only did they not pay attention to training, but they lived a lazy and decadent retirement life. According to records, taking E Company of the 15th Regiment as an example, in 1935 there were 69 soldiers in E Company. There are 17 servants working for them!Some soldiers also had their own personal servants who shined their shoes, made their beds, did their laundry and performed various chores.When the soldiers reviewed, they also brought these servants to the training ground to clean their boots. "

Just imagine, what kind of combat effectiveness does such an army have?

However, what Li Junhao is worried about now is not the combat effectiveness of the 15th Infantry Regiment, but whether such an army entering Shanghai will confuse the place and disturb the concession?

Thinking of this, Li Junhao suddenly said: "Colonel, I have a request - I need the absolute command of the 15th Infantry Regiment!" He said this very firmly, and his firmness surprised Ruide.

After thinking for a while, Ruide Bao said: "Pan Sen, the order I received is that after the 15th Infantry Regiment arrives in Shanghai, its command will be taken over by the Consulate General in Shanghai, but in principle, an experienced Therefore, I discussed with Ambassador Johnson and planned to let Lieutenant Colonel Kelton and Colonel Hobbs change their posts... Of course, this is somewhat unfair to Hobbs, but for the current situation in Shanghai and Shanghai , but it is the best choice..."

"Colonel, I don't agree." Li Junhao objected with a clear attitude, "You should know the situation of the 15th Infantry Regiment. Without vigorous rectification, it will not be able to be used at all, and I am the most suitable candidate - because I have enough tough!"
