Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 918: Sit firmly on Diaoyutai

 Zhang Yong drove his motorcycle to the entrance of the concession.

 Because we are going on a yacht. There is no use having too many people. Therefore, Zhang Yong only led a small team.

 At the entrance of the concession, Li Yuanqing was not seen. I did see Catherine. She seemed to be waiting for Zhang Yong's arrival here.

"open!"

 She greeted warmly.

 Zhang Yong looked around and did not see Dickens.

　　　It must be bad for Catherine to come to see him. But first, listen to what she has to say.

 Get a British ship if you can.

 Preferably a battleship…

 Yachts and the like are actually not very safe.

 In case of encountering Japanese destroyers or gunboats. Isn't that bad?

 It is still unclear whether there are any Japanese gunboats along the coast. But if there is, it will be very troublesome if you encounter it.

The Japanese gunboats were equipped with 7.7mm heavy machine guns. That is, the bulky Type 92 heavy machine gun. It's still very powerful.

 Slow down your speed. Slowly came to Catherine.

"open!"

 Catherine suddenly beamed. He came up happily, sat directly behind Zhang Yong, stretched out his arms to hug Zhang Yong, and lay on top of him.

 Is it fragrant? Very fragrant.

 But no feeling. The closer she gets, the more fishy she becomes.

 Zhang Yong is very clear about the abilities of these beautiful spies. The same goes for those Japanese female spies.

 He is extremely gentle to him.

They all try their best to please.

However…

Who knows what kind of faces they hide behind their extreme gentleness?

That Hayakawa Haruko killed her companion with her own hands. No mercy at all.

 “Zhang, I have something to ask you.”

 “Is there any benefit?”

 “I’ll accompany you!”

 “No. I’m talking dollars, pounds, or gold bars. No francs.”

 “You are really consistent!”

  “Excellent award.”

“However, you do have a great opportunity. You can make a lot of money.”

"explain."

“Have you heard about what happened at the consulate that night?”

 “Know something.”

 “The man named Zhao Yinzu is dead. He was poisoned.”

"oh?"

 Zhang Yong's eyes lit up slightly.

 He doesn’t know about this yet. Zhao Yinzu (Ishikura Yuichi) is actually dead?

 Or was he poisoned? Who is the murderer?

Why?

 He was exposed and then silenced by Japanese spies?

"you do not know?"

"I have no idea."

 Zhang Yong answered calmly. He really doesn’t know!

 After faking the scene, he ran away immediately. He didn't inquire about what happened next.

 What happens next has nothing to do with him.

 He is the one responsible for throwing stones.

　　After making ripples in the silent pool, there is nothing left for him to do.

He needs to wait until things ferment to a certain level before he comes out to harvest.

 Now, it is still a time for ripples to spread.

 Yesterday, at the MGM Cabaret, Frey did not mention it either. Zhang Yong also deliberately did not ask.

 “It seems that you did not lie yesterday.”

 “Me? Lying?”

 Zhang Yong shook his head. Did you test yourself yesterday?

 Do Americans doubt themselves?

whatever. If you want to doubt, just doubt. He doesn't care.

 He just wants dollars.

 Everyone else is brought down.

“Zhao Yinzu died very strangely. He was probably Japanese.” Catherine continued.

"I don't know." Zhang Yong responded calmly, "My sense of smell is not 100% accurate. Especially those who studied abroad. Or the Japanese who did not grow up in the country. Their smell may have changed. Or it’s so weak that I can’t detect it.”

 Zhang Yong first patched himself up.

 He has made such a patch before. Lest others think they are infallible.

 In fact, you can’t go wrong with a map. However, he can't give others this feeling.

 Humans make mistakes. Of course he is no exception.

"Zhao Yinzu grew up in China, and then went to Chapman University in the United States to study." Catherine said, "If he hadn't obtained the drawings, no one would have suspected him. The Japanese spies were so hidden deep."

 Zhang Yong did not respond.

 It is best for him to just listen and say nothing about this matter. So as not to show off your flaws.

 He was dealing with professional spies. Their professional skills are very strong. Instead of being good at all kinds of reasoning.

This Catherine is also the one who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. Deliberately pretending to be a rookie to lure people in.

 “What did Fred tell you?”

  “The main topic was not mentioned.”

“Your main topic is money? Do you want them to pay you to investigate?”

"Yes."

 Zhang Yong admitted it frankly.

 It is originally a transaction. Of course you have to talk about money.

The Yankee is so wealthy that he can take advantage of any hair he plucks from his legs.

 Unfortunately not.

 “You should go find MacFarlane.”

"Why?"

“There is definitely no formal funding. We can only find other ways.”

 “Can you give me some advice?”

 Zhang Yong humbly asked for advice.

 He is short of money now.

Hmm, I personally don’t need it. It is a national need.

 The money gained from capturing Japanese spies is only small amounts. For big money, you have to find another way.

 Just buying a few dozen planes will cost you half a million dollars. Still missing. There is no matching package yet.

 At the normal market price, fifty Italian aircraft, with supporting equipment. The unit price is at least US$20,000.

 Without money, I can’t even think about it.

 And a country’s air force cannot only have fifty aircraft. Once a war starts, it will be consumed in a few days.

 He wanted to add as many fighter jets to the air force as possible before the outbreak of all-out war. Even if it is to add one or two aircraft. That is also combat power.

“Intelligence agencies all have prerogatives.”

 “For example, your MI5...”

“Didn’t we arrange for a destroyer to follow the Italian freighter?”

"Thanks!"

 Zhang Yong said it sincerely.

 No matter how the British cheated, this matter is indeed good for China.

Even though they knew that the British wanted to use China to hold back the Japanese invaders. to contain the Japanese invaders. I have my own little Jiujiu. But, someone else has a destroyer!

 The British Empire’s Far East Fleet stationed in Singapore is still quite capable. Ranked third in East Asia.

 After the Japanese invaders and the beautiful country, there was the British Empire.

There are two battleships, five cruisers, and a dozen destroyers permanently stationed.

  Unfortunately, there are no aircraft carriers.

 This is the main reason why John Bull's Far East Fleet was quickly destroyed after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

 “I just said you have a chance to make a lot of money.”

"Appreciate further details."

 “Do you know about duty-free products?”

"What?"

“McFarland and the others have privileges. No inspection is required when leaving the country. No taxes are levied.”

 “Tell me specifically.”

“I won’t tell you the details. It’s not necessary. You just need to know that the Americans will not give you money directly. But you can offer to borrow the duty-free goods channel. They will definitely agree.”

"what is going on?"

“The goods you bring back from the United States do not require inspection or tax when leaving the country. Don’t you understand?”

"not understand well…"

“Come with me tonight and I’ll tell you in detail...”

 “Tell now.”

"No…"

 Catherine has a charming eye.

 Zhang Yong secretly increased his vigilance. She was seducing herself again.

 It is definitely not easy to feel at ease.

 She cannot simply come forward to help the Americans.

 She is from MI7 and MI5, and she must be working for the benefit of the British Empire.

However, the information she provided was indeed very useful.

 Give dollars directly. It really doesn't work. I guess bald eagles don’t have that much of a budget either.

 But the intelligence services have prerogatives, that’s true.

 The same goes for China. The Special Branch of Fuxing Society has special privileges. The same goes for the Party Investigation Office.

 Even the inspection team of the Military Law Division of the Garrison Command has its own privileges.

 The so-called privileges are, to put it bluntly, smuggling.

The same goes for bald eagles.

 No inspection is required when leaving the country. No tax required. That’s a huge profit!

 Smuggle contraband directly. Weapons and ammunition, cigarettes, alcohol, etc., that’s all huge profits. The profits obtained are used to fund the intelligence department.

 So, the funding for the intelligence community appears to be very small on the surface. But actually…

"How was it; were you moved?"

"really."

 Zhang Yong did not mince words either.

 Of course he is moved!

 But it was not contraband that he had in mind. But machine tools. or other.

 Lawrence's place is all about making small fuss. The variety may not be complete. But he could get more machine tools if there were safe transportation routes.

 It can also effectively circumvent supervision. Transported quietly to China. No outsider knows.

 Then, get some tobacco from China and go over there...

 Uh, stop it.

this is not OK…

“Then go find MacFarlane if you have time.”

"good."

 “Now, tell us something about us?”

"you say."

“When are you going to Singapore with me?” “What are you going to do?”

 “Shopping around. Food and accommodation are included. I’ll also give you a big gift package when you’re done.”

 “Catch Japanese spies?”

 “That’s about it. I just want you to go take a look and take a walk.”

 “What’s in it for me?”

 “I’ve given all my people to you. What else do you want?”

 “What’s in it for me?”

 Zhang Yong asked seriously. Not ashamed.

 The other party asked him to catch Japanese spies. He went to work. Of course you need to be paid.

Going to Singapore is a long trip. The reward cannot be too little.

 After all, once you leave China, there seems to be no guarantee of your own safety.

 “This matter has not been decided yet…”

 “It’s better not to go. I don’t feel safe. It’s too far.”

 Zhang Yong told the truth.

 He will not leave the country easily unless absolutely necessary.

 Timid.

 Afraid of death.

 I went there, and I didn’t even know how I died.

 Those who are unfamiliar with the people and places around them. I couldn't run even if I wanted to.

“Then when the time comes, it will be the same when we bring people over.” Catherine changed her mind with a smile.

 Zhang Yong suspected that she was testing him. But there is no evidence.

This woman is also an old fox.

pretty.

cunning.

He is no match for conspiracy.

 However, as long as he is on the land of China, he can be invincible.

 “I also want duty-free goods.”

 Zhang Yong directly set out the conditions. Follow the gourd and draw the scoop.

 As a result, Catherine fell forward laughing. Blooming. Various styles.

"you are wrong…"

 She shook her head. Then he chuckled again.

 Zhang Yong looked unmoved. Neither happy nor sad. I don't think there's anything funny about myself.

 He was originally a rookie. do not understand anything. I don’t even know how to operate duty-free goods. But it doesn't matter, if someone else tells him, he will gradually understand.

“Our homeland is too far away from you. Duty-free goods are not cost-effective.”

 “Then what should I want?”

 “A piece of land.”

"What?"

 Zhang Yong was slightly surprised.

 A piece of land? land?

 He actually heard it clearly, but he just didn’t quite understand the operation inside.

 Catherine wants a piece of land for herself?

 Land sale?

 “You can buy a piece of land in India.”

"India?"

 “Yes. India. We can give you a pretty good price.”

 “To what extent is the discount?”

“Only ten pounds an acre. Ten thousand acres, one hundred thousand pounds.”

"real or fake?"

 Zhang Yong's heart was pounding.

This price is cheaper than the one in the beautiful country.

 According to the newspaper that Tang Shengming brought back earlier, the land advertisements for sale cost five hundred dollars per acre.

 At the current exchange rate, one pound is worth about five dollars. 10 pounds is about $50.

 Compared to beautiful countries, land in India is indeed very cheap.

Of course, India and the beautiful country cannot be compared. But, it is indeed attractive.

 Mainly, you can engage in plantations. Castles can be built.

What man doesn’t want to build a castle? As long as you have money, you can become a small independent kingdom!

 It’s a pity that Catherine’s proposal is very tempting. But there is a fatal flaw, that is, India will become independent in more than ten years. By then, the situation was chaotic. No matter how beautiful the manor is, it is useless. They will make wedding clothes for others.

"of course it's true."

 “Can I change it to another place?”

 “Where do you want?”

 “New Zealand. Or Australia.”

"Can."

"real?"

 “Of course. As long as it is under the Queen’s rule, it’s okay.”

 Catherine replied with a smile.

 Zhang Yong was moved. That's good. As long as his heart moves, she wins.

 For a special talent like Zhang Yong, Catherine very much hopes to have it in her hands. Because he is really useful. Especially when it comes to dealing with spies.

This alone is worth the efforts of MI7 or MI5 to win over the other side.

 The British’s only rival in the Far East was the Japanese.

 And Zhang Yong is the nemesis of Japanese spies.

As long as Zhang Yong is willing to take action, he can defeat the Japanese invaders.

 “Can any land be used?”

 “As long as it is ownerless. Or the owner is willing to sell it.”

 “How long does the property right last?”

 “Freehold.”

"real?"

"Of course. According to the laws of our British Empire, land property rights are permanent. The wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot. You should know this sentence."

"ah…"

 Zhang Yong's thoughts immediately flew away.

 He neglected the plantations. The castle was ignored. Mines came to mind.

 That’s right. It's the mine.

 Iron ore.

 Australia is very rich in mineral deposits.

 So far, there are still many mines that have not been discovered.

 The land may be ownerless.

 Once purchased…

 “What about the wilderness?”

“That’s cheaper. You can buy several acres for a pound.”

“After I buy it, everything under the ground belongs to me, right?”

“Of course. If you can find oil on your land, it will be very profitable.”

 “That’s right. Oil…”

 Zhang Yong followed what the other party said. To avoid suspicion.

 Australia seems to have little oil. But iron ore is very abundant. What he needs is to get a few iron mines.

Of course, I won’t show up. Show up with local white gloves.

By the way, what does New Zealand have?

 “Then it’s settled.” Catherine was very happy.

 Zhang Yong is indeed greedy for money.

 When I hear the benefits, I am immediately moved.

Those Japanese are idiots too. I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

 Why didn’t you think of giving Zhang Yong a piece of land in the three northeastern provinces? Who knows when he will really be tempted...

 Fortunately, I took decisive action and used land to retain Zhang Yong first.

 “Okay.” Zhang Yong nodded.

 Secretly regretted. I didn't study world geography well in my previous life.

 Where is Australia’s iron ore mainly distributed? Dizzy. I actually can't remember it at all...

in a hurry…

 That is the real golden mountain!

"correct…"

"you say."

 “After you get the drawings, take a picture and give it to us.”

 “You want it too?”

 Zhang Yong was suspicious. Then he reacted.

　　Well, this is the point of Catherine.

 They need drawings.

 “For reference!” Catherine said lightly.

 “Okay.” Zhang Yong nodded readily. Then he took out a drawing from his arms. presented before her.

 Catherine's eyes suddenly brightened.

 Drawings!

 Battleship’s!

 She could see it at a glance!

**** it!

 The drawings are actually here with Zhang Yong!

This guy is really amazing! He was actually taken out of the consulate.

 Outsiders are still looking everywhere!

Americans missed it in vain!

She had a preconceived notion that what Zhang Yong got was the drawing that appeared in the consulate of the beautiful country.

"want to?"

 “What conditions?”

"think it yourself."

 Zhang Yong said slowly. Sit tight on the Diaoyutai.

Catherine was lost in thought.

 Drawings…

want to…

condition…

This **** Zhang Yong, it's not easy to get him to let go.

 What conditions can be used to impress the other party?

 Zhang Yong remained silent.

 He gave Catherine plenty of time to think.

Quiet.

 Suddenly, a red dot entered the edge of the map...
