The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 509: Senior Brother Visits
Chen Manli’s death remains an unsolved case in history.

Some sources say that she was shot in retaliation because she was unwilling to dance with a Japanese officer, while some sources mention that she had a close relationship with Peng Nian.

The internal fight between Ding and Lin affected him as well.

In order to clip Ding's wings, Lin directly instructed someone to assassinate Peng Nian, and then put the blame on the Military Control Commission, as long as he was not caught on the spot.

Who would know it was him who did it?

This is enough to show that the conflict between Ding and Lin has reached a fever pitch.

Recently, Ding Moqun took action and forcefully took down Ma Xiaotian, dealing a heavy blow to Lin Shiqun. It was normal for Lin Shiqun to seek revenge and kill one of Ding's confidants.

But Peng Nian did not die, but a popular dancer died, so there is something to write about.

……

"Peng Nian, I understand." Cheng Mo called Shen Mo and told him a name. Shen Mo immediately understood and knew what he should do.

The case will naturally be investigated by the people below.

If he has to do everything himself, then what is the point of him being the leader of the Chinese group?
When I got home from work that day, I found that Wen Qiu and his wife were there. Although the two families were familiar with each other, they didn't visit each other very often.

In particular, Wen Qiu’s wife Xiaowan came only a few times.

Wen Qiu suddenly came to visit with his wife today, which caught Cheng Mo off guard, but it didn't matter.

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so I brought her here to see Dr. Su for advice." Wen Qiu explained the purpose of this visit.

That makes sense.

But Cheng Mo could tell from the other person's eyes that unless Senior Brother Wen Qiu had something important to do, he would not use this excuse to come and visit him.

Staying to eat together is inevitable.

Because there was no preparation, Cheng Mo had to call the restaurant to order a few dishes and have them prepared and delivered.

Pregnant women can always find common ground with you.

Although Su Moer is much younger than Xiaowan, she is already halfway through the pregnancy process. She is a doctor herself, so she naturally has more experience.

There was no problem for the two women to communicate. Wen Qiu was Cheng Mo's senior. Although they were not taught by the same teacher, they graduated from the same school. It was fate that they had the chance to know each other.

After dinner, the women continued chatting.

Cheng Mo invited Wen Qiu into the study.

Although this study is not very soundproof, as long as you speak in a low voice, no one outside can hear it.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Cheng Mo said solemnly.

"Lü Lok is the development and investigation target notified by Xu Qinghe. If you intervene rashly, it may lead to unpredictable consequences. Therefore, you must handle your relationship with Lui Lok well." Wen Qiu said seriously and solemnly.

"I can guess this, but I don't know how far Lao Xu has investigated him."

"That's not our concern." Wen Qiu said, "The higher-ups have agreed to send you an additional person to assist you in your work."

"Who?"

"Qin Chi is the young Chinese policeman recommended to you by Claire." Wen Qiu said.

"It's him?" Cheng Mo was shocked. "The organization has had this idea for a long time."

"Not really. The selection of Qin Chi was just a coincidence. He has nothing to do with the Patrol Branch. He was developed by other comrades. We originally had a single-line contact. It's a good opportunity for him to be incorporated into us now to enhance our strength." Wen Qiu explained.

"Then should I reveal my identity to Qin Chi?"

"Not for the time being, you can also examine his ability and see if he is suitable to work with you." Wen Qiu ordered. "Understood, if he is not suitable, you can return him, right?"

Wen Qiu glared at him and said, "Why are you quitting? Do you think the organization's arrangements are a joke?"

Cheng Mo just smiled and passed it off.

"The intelligence you provided last time about Germany's possible attack on France is very important. The next time you have any predictions, you must report them immediately." Wen Qiu said seriously.

"What do people say at home?"

"Due to your status, your family cannot formally commend you, but your contributions are all remembered. Don't worry, there will be no less in the future." Wen Qiu rolled his eyes at Cheng Mo.

"Isn't there even any verbal praise?"

"If you want it, I'll give it to you once."

"Brother, forget it, your level is not high enough..."

"You little brat, you're still looking down on your senior's rank. What rank do you want? Do you want to report to President Jiang in Chongqing and ask him to give you a medal?"

"Medal, that's true. I have made many contributions. Our CEO Jiang is so stingy that he doesn't even want to give me a medal..."

"Do you really want it?"

"Of course. This is what I deserve. If I don't even have this thought, then you would doubt my motives," Cheng Mo explained.

"That's true. People in the Kuomintang are keen on getting promoted and making money. If you don't have the heart for fame, fortune and status, they will really doubt you." Wen Qiu nodded.

"I am pessimistic about the British and French coalition forces' campaign against Germany. They do not understand their enemy at all and are still immersed in the glory of victory in World War I. It is only a matter of time before they suffer a disastrous defeat."

"Is this your prediction again?" Wen Qiu frowned slightly. Isn't this prediction a bit pessimistic? The Anglo-French Allied Forces are the most powerful army in the world. Even if the Germans are very powerful, it is unlikely that they can defeat the Anglo-French Allied Forces in a short period of time.

Senior Brother Wen Qiu does not believe that the British and French forces would be defeated by the German army, but were just caught off guard by the Germans. This represents the views of the majority of people, but the facts will slap them in the face.

The form of warfare has changed dramatically. If they still stick to the old trench warfare, there is no way they can remain undefeated.

The future will be dominated by armored groups charging forward and a torrent of steel.

Positional warfare, who will fight a positional warfare with you?
Infantry and artillery coordination, infantry and tank coordination, air-ground integration, the way of war has changed, and some people have not kept up with the trend of the times.

Under the saturation bombardment, no matter how solid the bunker is, it can't withstand it.

"I guess so. Anyway, I don't think the Anglo-French coalition will be defeated by the Germans sooner or later." Cheng Mo nodded.

"In that case, Europe will be in danger." Although Wen Qiu did not completely agree with Cheng Mo's speculation, if this was the result, the situation in Europe would become out of control.

Seeing the Germans' great victory in Europe, Japan, as their military ally, is likely to take big actions next.

This is probably not a good thing for China.

"If Europe is in danger, Asia will also be dragged into the battlefield, especially Southeast Asia. Japan has long coveted Southeast Asia's oil, gas and rubber resources, and Japan is a resource-poor country. The war is fought for resources and industrial capacity. In the long run, China can give Japan more, but in practical terms, if Japan wants to fight to support the war, the fastest and most economical way is to attack the colonies of European and American powers in Southeast Asia." Cheng Mo said.

"Do you think Japan will send troops to Southeast Asia?"

"It's not a will, but a must, unless he doesn't want to share the world with Germany," said Cheng Mo.

"Does this little Japanese have such a big appetite?"

"This opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you may never have it again. If you were Japan, would you seize it?" Cheng Mo said, "If you win, you will become the overlord of East Asia and gain half of the world. If you lose, the worst that can happen is that you will retreat back to Japan and return to the Stone Age. Can it be more difficult than the days before the Meiji Restoration?"

“This is a big gamble!”

"Yes, it's a big gamble."
