Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1119: , hand the knife

Chapter 1119: Pass the knife

"Sure enough, someone leaked the secret."

"really?"

"That's right. This road map is fake. It's a bait we deliberately threw out."

"What level has it been sent to?"

"I haven't been sent to the army yet. Only the Military and Administrative Department knows."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up. Seems to understand something. But deliberately pretending not to know.

After someone comes back. It seems that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has not been held accountable. Instead, Wen Yan encouraged him. Zhang Yong thought this matter was over.

Unexpectedly, a nail was quietly ambushed here.

The nails were small, but deadly enough.

Once this nail works, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs will still be the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. However, in front of someone, you have to bow your head and obey.

"Do you have a solution?"

"have."

"Okay. Then I won't interfere."

"Let's talk about the student soldiers."

"Where are the people?"

"Already concentrated in Qingpu. The 51st Division is stationed."

"Which 51st Division?"

"Wang Yaowu's troops."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

It turned out that Wang Yaowu was stationed in Qingpu.

It seems that the signs of action are already very obvious. Over there with the Japanese invaders...

You should know that too.

The war is about to break out.

It’s time to make Wakayama Libertine the highlight.

It is difficult to completely deceive the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders were not stupid either. The level of espionage is also high.

Doihara Kenji, Isotani Rensuke, Sakagaki Seishiro and the like. They are all China hands. He knows the situation in China very well. His judgment ability on the battlefield is also very strong.

However, no matter how strong a fortress is, it can be breached from within.

The Wakayama libertines were the bombs hidden within the Japanese invaders. To blow up everything around you.

You won't make mistakes?

Then I will force you and tempt you to make mistakes.

Even, to put it bluntly, I just want the Army to die. The empire's vitality was severely damaged.

Only in this way can His Highness Yong Ren ascend to the throne.

Victory on the front line is very unfortunate news for His Highness Yong Ren.

The more victories, the more Hirohito's supporters grew.

Only when the battle is defeated on the front line, and the more severe the defeat and the more serious the losses, will His Highness Yongren be happy.

It would be best if the entire division was wiped out.

For example, the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division. Dead light is best.

These two divisions are the most fanatical. The most stupid. The most foolish and loyal. It is the biggest threat to His Highness Yongren.

Suddenly I felt a little impatient.

I really want to use my identity as a libertine, and it will be a big trap.

Unfortunately, not yet.

There are many trivial matters.

"Then I'll go to Qingpu now."

"good."

So we set off.

Head to Qingpu.

Arrive at the 51st Division station. Notification.

"Commissioner."

"Mr. Wang. We meet again."

"Commissioner."

"Mr. Sun."

Wang Yaowu came out to greet him.

Along with him was Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division.

Zhang Yong met Sun Yuanliang.

In fact, he has met most of the officers of the national army.

After a certain person returned to Jinling, he held several military meetings at the Presidential Palace. All officers at division level or above who could come were here.

As the goalkeeper of the Presidential Palace, Zhang Yong is naturally a no-brainer. View them all.

At this moment, Sun Yuanliang can be regarded as a strong soldier. The record is not bad.

He once led his troops to participate in the 128th Anti-Japanese War and cooperated with the 19th Route Army, and his performance was very good. Be brave and resourceful.

Otherwise, he would not be appointed as the commander of the 88th Division. This is the first-class main force.

But later on, I don’t know why, it became more and more fast. So as to become a laughing stock.

well…

[Strategic map opens]

[Only division-level troops are shown]

[51 Division Information Update]

【88 Division Information Update】

[Note that the information is limited to personnel and equipment that can effectively command. Those who lost contact are not counted]

Suddenly there is a message prompt.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

Immediately, a new map unfolded.

On the map, there are many color blocks of different colors.

There is a note in the lower left corner. It is the distribution of personnel and equipment of the 88th Division. Very detailed. So detailed that it takes a lot of time to look at it.

Look at the color blocks to get personnel and weapon information.

There are also data for the whole division.

curious.

Check.

The data starts to update.

Various icons appear. There are people, artillery, vehicles, tanks, firearms...

Click on people.

Get data.

[88th Division: 10,949 actual personnel (including command organization and exclusive logistics)]

oh?

The 88th Division is quite full. There were actually more than 10,000 people.

curious.

Open your mouth.

"Mr. Sun, how many people are there in your 88th Division?"

"Reporting to the specialist. Our division has a total of 11,521 people."

"More than eleven thousand?"

"Yes."

"ah…"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

The system shows that there are only more than 10,900.

But Sun Yuanliang replied that it was more than eleven thousand. There is a difference of more than 500.

"Is it full?"

"It's all full."

"How many people are there?"

"That's 11,521 people."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong couldn't help but think of free money.

The vacancies for five hundred people cannot appear for no reason. Unless someone is making the same old mistake again.

However, Zhang Yong was not angry.

Numb.

This is the case with the national army.

Except for the expeditionary force, there is no one who does not receive free pay.

Note that there is no one. Including Wang Yaowu's 74th Army. It’s just a matter of more and less.

As far as the 88th Division is concerned, the difference of 500 men is already considered excellent.

real. I guess it's a logistical difference.

The exclusive logistics department was abolished and civilian workers were temporarily recruited to replace it.

Exclusive logistics porters and coachmen are paid military pay. However, civilian husbands who are temporarily requisitioned do not use it.

Being able to do this is already pretty good.

In fact, dedicated logistics almost by default does not exist. It was put into the personal pockets of senior military officers.

The national army's combat effectiveness is weak, its morale is low, and its logistics...

Are there any logistics?

Hardly.

Check out the artillery.

[French M1897 75mm field gun: 12 pieces (battalion level)]

Huh?

So familiar.

Could it be...

Yes, it was probably the artillery battalion I got.

In the end, it was allocated to the 88th Division.

There is another artillery battalion, probably given to the 87th Division.

Because he went to the northwest and later sat in the presidential palace, the artillery battalion was robbed.

You don't want to move troops or anything, but you actually want to create an artillery battalion. It's too much. Just accept the reality.

Everyone else is Huangpu Phase I. At least three issues.

How many issues is Cao Mengqi? Nine issues? Ten issues? Not on the same level at all.

Forget it, let’s take a look at Lao Wang.

Check out the 51st Division personnel.

[51st Division: 8,625 actual personnel (including command organization and dedicated logistics)]

Oh, there are indeed fewer people.

"Commander Wang, how many people are there in your army?"

"Reporting to the Commissioner, our department currently has 8,446 soldiers."

"More than eight thousand four hundred?"

"Yes."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong pondered secretly.

Is this considered Lao Wang’s super-editing? Two hundred more?

Probably. Lao Wang is a pragmatist. Don’t fight an uncertain battle. The preparations before the war were also relatively complete.

Now that he has been transferred to Qingpu, I believe he can guess what he will do next. As a result, instead of having empty pay, the troops had an excess of 200 men.

Where did the military pay for these two hundred men come from? Lao Wang must have done it himself.

At this moment, the 51st Division is still a second-class unit. It is a miracle that the Ministry of Military Affairs can fully allocate funds according to its establishment.

Later information shows that Lao Wang once ran a biscuit factory to make money and provide benefits to the officers and soldiers of the 74th Army. Therefore, during the Anti-Japanese War, the 74th Army fought in full force. Morale has been good.

The first-class main force is not just blown away. It is the result of hard work. Counting from the beginning of the all-out war of resistance, the soldiers of the 74th Army may have been replaced by five or six. There are countless sacrifices.

"Commissioner, our department is not fully staffed yet..."

"knew."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Lao Wang is really down to earth. Just people.

Relatively speaking, Sun Yuanliang is a bit vain. The work is not detailed enough.

Check out the artillery.

result…

[Query results: None. (Only direct-fire artillery is counted)]

Well, that's kind of bad.

Wang Yaowu's 51st Division didn't even have a direct-fire gun.

I wonder if there are mortars? Even if there are, there are probably only a few. The supporting firepower is pitifully weak!

It is really dangerous to go directly to the battlefield with such crude weapons and equipment.

However, this was the reality at the time.

Except for a few German weapon divisions who are slightly better, the other divisions are almost cannon fodder.

"Commissioner, I'll take my leave first."

"Okay. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"please."

After seeing off Sun Yuanliang, Zhang Yong and Wang Yaowu came to Qingpu.

All 1,300 student soldiers have been assembled. Yang Buqing and Song Youming have come to receive it in advance.

The reason why Zhang Yong was invited was nothing more than to show that he was valued.

Military uniforms have been issued. But there are no weapons yet. Weapons need to be solved by Zhang Yong himself.

Properly bring your own dry food...

wrong. It’s paid work.

"Commissioner."

Yang Buqing and Song Youming came up.

Because of their merits in escorting, both of them have been promoted to major generals.

However, the specific duties have not changed yet. Because they are from the Air Force and do not want to go to the Army.

Zhang Yong stood on the high platform and delivered a brief speech.

All are welcome.

But not much was said.

His current identity is a bit sensitive.

If you say too much publicly, you may be over-interpreted.

"How much more weapons are needed?"

"We have received more than 600 Garand rifles. But the quantity is not enough."

"Where's the machine gun?"

"The machine gun is Czech style. It doesn't use the same Garand bullet."

"Well…"

Trouble indeed.

Rifles and machine guns have different bullet types, which can easily cause confusion in logistics.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this matter. Just don't ask for machine guns.

All are equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles.

The Garand semi-automatic firepower itself is very powerful. Can replace machine guns.

In fact, in the later American army, there was only one BAR fully automatic rifle in the infantry class. They're not even called machine guns.

Eight Garands can suppress the MG42. What about other machine guns?

As a supplement, the Thompson submachine gun is nice.

The problem now is how to obtain these weapons in large quantities.

As the war begins getting closer, small-scale smuggling can no longer meet needs.

There must be a big vote.

Get at least one or two thousand Garand semi-automatics...

Alas, I still have to deal with foreigners. Gather their wool. If you can gather a little bit, it's a little bit.

Return to the city.

Suddenly a thought came to my mind. Quietly approaching Hongkou.

I wonder if the system can refresh the Japanese invaders’ information?

Japanese Marine Corps…

Switch to the strategy map.

[Yokosuka Fort Marine Corps Information Update]

[Updated information on the Marine Corps of Wu Town Guards]

[Updated information on Marine Corps of Sasebo Town Fortress]

Messages appear continuously.

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

The composition of the Japanese troops stationed in Hongkou seems to be quite complicated!

It turned out to be garrison mansions from three places.

Yokosuka, Kure, Sasebo. It feels like there are a lot of troops.

View people.

[Yokosuka Fort Marine Corps: 2,388 actual soldiers]

Quite a few indeed.

More than two thousand people.

Keep checking.

[Wu Zhenfu Marine Corps: 1,722 actual soldiers]

[Sasebo Marine Corps: 1,156 actual soldiers]

Calculate silently in your head.

Add the three together, more than 5,000 people?

That's right, more than five thousand people. Just the Marines.

There are also military police, Japanese expatriates, and soldiers in the countryside. There may be tens of thousands of people.

Don’t underestimate these tens of thousands of people. Many of them have military training background. As long as you pick up a weapon, you can fight. Moreover, the combat effectiveness is not weak.

The national army initially invested three divisions with about 30,000 people. Trying to make a quick fix. The result failed.

It’s not thirty thousand versus five thousand. It’s thirty thousand versus thirty thousand.

The comparison of the strength of the two sides was almost one to one.

Of course I can't chew it.

So follow-up troops were dispatched.

The follow-up troops are Wang Yaowu's 51st Division and the like.

However, the early stage was delayed, and the Japanese invaders had already begun to mobilize reinforcements.

At the same time, the Japanese invaders stationed on the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan Island also began to mobilize.

Then…

There is no more.

well…

View weapons.

[Class 75 mm field gun: 49 pieces]

[Class 105mm howitzer: 12]

Surprised.

Is this the Marine Corps?

Why are there so many artillery pieces? Are you sure he didn't steal the Army's red deer?

What does the word "category" mean in front?

Where did the Navy get it from? Or is it a test product produced by oneself?

The test product is of no use, so why bring it here?

Although it is a test product. But the lethality is still there.

Coupled with the guns of the Japanese navy warships, the intensity of the artillery fire will be several times that of the national army.

There was another overwhelming bombing by carrier-based aircraft...

trouble.

The intelligence from General Wenbai may be wrong.

Huh?

intelligence?

It seems that I am in charge of intelligence...

Yes, I have to go to the security headquarters and tell him the truth.

Suddenly, a white dot with a label appeared.

Check. It's Catherine.

good. I was looking for her.

Approach immediately.

Catherine soon saw Zhang Yong and immediately greeted him happily. Smiling like a flower.

"Zhang, we finally meet again."

"Miss Catherine, it's also nice to see you again."

"hypocritical."

"Aren't you?"

"Buy me some coffee."

"No money."

"you…"

"We haven't caught any spies recently, so we really have no money."

"Grandet."

"Wait until I catch the spy and make a fortune."

"good."

Catherine had no choice but to treat her.

She was indeed in a good mood. Her peach blossom eyes were charming.

"Your prediction was accurate. Roosevelt was indeed re-elected. I didn't expect that Langdon lost so miserably. He only got eight electoral votes. Only eight!"

"Shouldn't you be more concerned about Lord Chamberlain's affairs?"

"What benefits do you want?"

"No!"

"I don't know you yet. Tell me. What do you want? Or what information can you provide us."

"Not yet."

Zhang Yong told the truth.

The world map has been quiet for the past two or three months.

There is indeed nothing to do with the British. There seems to be no movement in Spain?

I haven’t contacted Tanavaro for a long time. Not sure.

"I made a small fortune."

"What?"

"A lot of people bought Landon. I was the only one who bought Roosevelt. So, I won."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed.

I feel like I missed a lot of opportunities to make a fortune.

Alas, it’s all someone.

You must be the doorkeeper at the Presidential Palace yourself.

No overtime allowance is given.

The world outside is changing, and there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere, but they are missed.

Even for something as important as Roosevelt's election, he received no additional benefits.

Of course, Madam got back the one hundred thousand dollars.

Directly enter Song Ziyu’s account.

Now, Song Ziyu is also a young and promising young rich woman in the Song family.

"You give me half. I'll give you another message."

"Five thousand dollars."

"make a deal."

Zhang Yong readily agreed.

It's not even open today. So anxious!

Where have all the well-heeled spies gone? Why didn't you show up?

Could it be that he really wanted to use his identity as a Wakayama prodigal to rob them from within? Does it seem more efficient to rob your own people from your own people?

"Then tell me. What information."

"The next president of the United States will be Roosevelt."

"impossible."

"real."

"He's been reelected for two terms. There's no way he can be reelected for three terms..."

"Believe me. The secret must not be revealed."

"I don't believe it."

Catherine shook her head firmly.

Zhang Yong smiled and said nothing. Don't you believe it? hehe.

"The president of this beautiful country can only serve one term. This is the rule."

"Rules are not laws."

"That doesn't break the rules. Voters don't agree."

"not necessarily."

Zhang Yong is profound.

If it were peacetime, voters would certainly not agree.

However, if it is during a time of war. Then...

As it happened, in the summer of 1940, France was defeated. The whole European continent is in gloom.

The British are struggling to support themselves. It's about to become irresistible.

At this time, Roosevelt expressed his intention to run again and received a lot of support.

In the end, he was re-elected quite easily. With a disparity of 38:10, he got the chance to stay in the White House again.

Create a historical precedent.

"I can even predict who your next prime minister will be."

"Your Excellency Chamberlain has just entered Buckingham Palace. It would be too mysterious for you to predict what will happen four years later..."

"Really. Remember. Your next prime minister will be Churchill."

"Although, I also hope that Churchill will be elected. However, everything you said is too vague."

"Then we'll see."

Zhang Yong stopped talking.

He no longer worries about leaks or anything like that.

What a prophecy!

It must be mysterious!

Time will tell.

As time goes by, more and more people will notice him. The role he can play will also become greater and greater.

"By the way, give Bob a call."

"good."

Zhang Yong turned around and went to make a phone call.

Call the Concession Ministry of Industry Bureau. Bob was quickly found.

"Hey Bob, are you okay?"

"Zhang, Zhang, James Zhang, you finally called me. I've been looking for you for a long time. I still can't find you."

"I can tell you're happy."

"Indeed. I'm very happy. The Prime Minister sent me a telegram from Buckingham Palace and asked me if I would go back and help him."

"There is no need to go back. Just say that you can serve him better in the Far East."

"But…"

"It's easier for you to get promoted if you stay in the Far East."

"If you want to continue to get promoted, you can only go to Singapore. Or India."

"You haven't become the general director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau yet!"

"Ah, that's right..."

"When you become the general director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau and take control of the entire concession, you will find that everything here is so wonderful."

"Then should I still go to Singapore or India?"

"It won't be too late for you to go to India when the next prime minister takes office."

"Okay. I listen to you."

Bob happily agreed.

He was indeed the general director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau.

Here, he is the uncrowned king. And with Zhang Yong's cooperation, the joy is boundless.

The previous frustration has completely dissipated.

Now, in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, he is valued by the Prime Minister.

The managing director has made it clear that he will be given more powers.

"By the way, James Zhang, I have something that I need to talk to you about in private."

"What's up?"

"We'll talk about it when we meet."
