Chapter 858: First Impression of the Flower of Spy War
The next morning, Lin Ze and Okamura's adjutant went to the airport to pick someone up.
The Third Flight Group sent more than 30 fighter jets and several transport planes.
Pilots are all treasures, of course, those quick-made suicide charges in the later period are not counted.
The pilots in front of us have all fought against the Northern Big Brother's China Aid Air Force, and can be said to be the elite Japanese pilots.
Lin Ze felt a little itchy and even thought about poisoning them all.
But after thinking about it carefully, if something like this really happened, not to mention him, even Okamura might not be able to keep his position. The consequences of this matter are too serious, so we have to think about it carefully.
At the same time, Lin Ze also met the flower of spy warfare, Lieutenant Colonel Hanatani Masaru.
This man was about 1.6 meters tall, more than a head shorter than Lin Ze, but he had a strong physique and did not look thin at all. It was obvious that he ate meat and exercised regularly.
He was dressed in a military uniform, meticulously dressed, with no expression on his face.
Lin Ze was very polite. Although the other party was only a lieutenant colonel, he was sent by the headquarters and was very famous. "Hanatani-kun, I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I finally get to meet you. I hope you can give me your guidance."
Hanatani Masaru's face instantly lit up with a familiar smile, making him seem warm, sunny, and approachable. "Hello! Commander Lin, huh? I'm so overwhelmed that you've come to pick me up personally! Hanatani is a man of limited knowledge, having lived in Tokyo for a long time. If there's anything wrong with my understanding of the situation in North China, I welcome your criticism and correction, Commander Lin!"
This Huagu used honorifics and treated Lin Ze as "superior", which made Lin Ze very alert.
There was naturally a grand reception lunch at noon. The pilots sent by the Kwantung Army naturally ate and drank lavishly. They came to help, so they must be taken care of. These people had all received Western training, so the Western food at the Six Nations Hotel was very suitable for them.
After the meal, Lin Ze invited everyone to take a bath at the restaurant.
Hua Gu didn't say much during the time, but was always smiling. He ate and took a bath with him.
When Lin Ze was arranging the small show, a group of pilots completely tore off the veil of civilized people and howled like ghosts and wolves, which was very characteristic of the Japanese devils. Hua Gu Zheng was still smiling and flirting with Sakura girl, but he did not carry the woman to other rooms like the others.
During this time, he casually asked, "Commander Lin, is this your property? Wow, it's really enviable!"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "If you don't mind, Hanatani-kun, you can just call me Lin-kun. To be honest, although this place is not my property, it belongs to an officer. Oh, and a big Japanese businessman also has shares. The Military Police Headquarters and the Secret Service often come here for security inspections, so I chose this place as a reception venue."
"Haha, Mr. Lin, this place is even better than the hot springs those big shots in Tokyo go to. Thank you very much for your hospitality!"
"No, no, it's all arranged by General Okamura."
Lin Ze now understood that this guy was used to playing the pig to eat the tiger game.
According to Matsuzaki, this person comes from a family of espionage and is also the apprentice of Fatty Touma, so the family's power must be considerable.
Such large families are very particular about enjoying life. They have specially decorated hot springs in their homes and have several fair-skinned and beautiful maids to serve them.
As for those club-style bathhouses specially prepared for big capitalists, military leaders and high-ranking officials, they are extremely extravagant and luxurious. There is nothing they cannot do, and the Japanese have always been very talented in this regard.
So this Huagu was just pretending to be stupid, and would habitually make a tentative statement from time to time in order to gain more information in the new environment.
It must be said that his approach is really suitable for young people who are just entering the workplace or unit.
Work when you should work, laugh when you should laugh, listen when you should listen, but just don’t speak or speak less.
He looks harmless and has never seen the world before, and others won't be alerted when he asks a question occasionally.
If you ask one question today and one question tomorrow, it won’t take long before you know everything about the unit.
This type of people can often go further, while those who are lively and outgoing, who get along well with their colleagues as soon as they arrive at the company, and who can't wait to have a drink and talk to their colleagues at night, often become frustrated and lonely after a year or two.
So please repeat this sentence three times before going to work every day: colleagues are just colleagues.
After settling these pilots, Lin Ze won’t have to worry about anything else.
Before leaving, Lin Ze worked remotely, dealt with the backlog of official business in Tianjin, and issued instructions on key tasks to ensure that all departments could operate normally when he was not in Tianjin.
Then Lin Ze took Niu Saner and set off for Yuancheng.
He didn't bring Secretary Song or any other women with him. The conditions in Yuancheng are average. Besides, he was on a mission this time, and he was traveling with Hua Gu Zheng. There were also officials from the Secret Service accompanying him, so it wouldn't be appropriate to bring women with him.
There are two routes from Peking to Yuancheng. One is to go south from Pinghan Road, change to Zhengtai Railway at Shijiazhuang, and then go south from Taiyuan. However, due to the previous Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Zhengtai Line was severely damaged, and there were many guerrillas along the way.
So the group had to choose the northern route, taking the Pingsui Railway from Peking through Zhangjiakou all the way to Datong, and then changing to the Tongpu Railway, going all the way to Yuancheng.
Once you enter Shanxi Province, you can't see any green anywhere, only yellow.
However, it can be seen in some places along the way that Lao Xi had made contributions to the governance of Shanxi Province before, and some water conservancy facilities are still in use after the war.
The railway is well built, and there is nothing wrong with it except that it is narrow-gauge.
On the way, Hua Guzheng looked at Niu Saner and asked, "Who is this..."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "This is Niu San'er, my long-time attendant. In your language, he's called a manservant."
Niu Saner greeted Hua Guzheng respectfully. Hua Guzheng nodded and didn't take it to heart anymore.
It was afternoon when we arrived at Yuancheng. After getting off the train, we took a bus all the way to the city gate.
There are four gates in Yuancheng, namely Fangxiao, Liuhui, Jubao and Yingqu. Lin Ze and his party entered from the south gate.
The gate was filled with welcoming local officials and gentry, and there were four big characters on the gate: "Rihua Tixi".
The sharp-eyed Lin Ze noticed that there was a line of small red words not far from the wall: When hungry, eat the flesh of captives; when thirsty, drink the blood of traitors.
I don’t know if the writing was not discovered or what, but it was not removed.
The leaders of the welcoming crowd were very conspicuous.
In the middle is a Japanese officer, who should be the chief officer of the Yuancheng garrison. Next to him is a man in military uniform, whose status is obviously slightly lower than his. He should be the captain of the military police.
The next few people should be Chinese. One of them is about fifty years old, wearing a mandarin jacket and a hat. The hat is a emerald green jade. Next to the old man stands a man in a black uniform. He looks very stupid, big, black and rough, with a beard, like Li Kui.
Lin Ze had already changed into military uniform in advance. Now he had the highest rank, so he took the lead and walked towards the welcoming crowd.
