Wusongkou, on the military dock.

A troop transport ship bound for Shanghai from Japan's Yokosuka Port slowly docked, and Chen Miao, Xiao Qi, and Jiang Zhiqiang each drove a car over.

Breathe in the slightly salty air blowing from the surface of the sea, and look at the turbid river water that enters the sea.

A group of Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms got off the troop carrier, looking at their young, curious and fanatical eyes, Chen Miao's heart became heavier and heavier.

This search and transport ship was about 1,500 soldiers, or about one and a half brigades according to the size of the Japanese army.

Of course, these soldiers will not all be organized into one unit, they will be scattered and supplemented with the troops on the front line.

Yes, although the Japanese army had the upper hand on the battlefield, they suffered heavy casualties under the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army.

Although Japan has a large population and relatively large number of soldiers, it is not easy to compare with China, which has a vast territory and occupies the largest population in the world.

Even if the battle loss ratio on the frontal battlefield is three to one, if all the active Japanese troops are exhausted, China can still have the ability to organize a large number of troops.

Japan, on the other hand, will be depleted of forces.

But war is not a simple comparison of numbers, there are many examples of defeating powerful opponents when the ancient forces do not have an advantage, and there are also empires that seem to be powerful, under the blow of a handful of enemies, they will collapse at the touch of a button, and the country will be wiped out.

"Did you take a picture?"

"Hmm." Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the car, nodded, this is a military port, it must be forbidden. districts, they are allowed to come in.

If I hadn't come to pick up people, I guess I wouldn't have this opportunity.

Since he had the opportunity to observe the Japanese naval warships in the port up close, this was a good opportunity to collect intelligence information, how could Chen Miao miss it.

Let Xiao Qi bring a special camera, hide in the car to shoot, go back and slowly develop it out, these photos should have great research value.

Of course, it may not be needed now, but it does not mean that it will not be used in the future, and intelligence collection requires a keen sense of touch, and it must also start from little by little.

Too often, intelligence workers are repeating things that seem thankless and meaningless.

In fact, this is the predecessors planting trees, and the descendants enjoying the shade.

In addition to transporting soldiers, troop carriers also have some weapons and equipment, and the battlefield wear and tear is replenished, which shows the gap between China and Japan.

In the eyes of Westerners, the Japanese Army is only a third-rate level, but its military strength is strong enough to make China look up to it.

This is the power of the industrial countries.

It is also the direction of my generation's efforts.

"Sit." Jiang Zhiqiang walked over, took out a pack of three forts from his pocket, and handed one to Chen Miao.

Chen Miao smiled and reached out to take it.

"How's it going, how is Professor Lan's lately?"

"Professor Lan is much better than the previous Ito, get up in the morning, first play a boxing in the courtyard, sometimes Tai Chi, sometimes Baduanjin, subordinates also learn a lot, and then wash, eat breakfast, a person upstairs to read, write, or study seal carving, after lunch, take a nap, after getting up, stay in that studio, that place, except for Professor Lan himself, no one is allowed to enter, at six o'clock in addition to having lunch, and go in, generally it will be nine or ten o'clock to come out, after washing, Go straight back to the bedroom and sleep, basically. Jiang Zhiqiang said.

"Have you ever been out?"

Although there was no restriction on his freedom, the Zhou Office ordered that Professor Lan must send someone to follow and protect him closely when he goes out, and he will not leave people all the time. Clothes or something, the second time was to go to the old Banzhai for dinner, the third time, I went to the post office, sent a letter to the United States, I don't know the content of the letter, but it must have been reviewed by the Zhou Office, and the third time was the Zhou Ban people who went with them. ”

"Oh, didn't Professor Lan's family in the United States send him telegrams or letters?" Chen Miao asked.

"It seems that there is, but this kind of thing is not handled by us, it is all the people who do it weekly." Jiang Zhiqiang said, "We are only responsible for the safety of Professor Lan's residence and travel, and the people of Zhou's office are responsible for eating and living, in addition to a cook who can cook Lu cuisine, there is also an old mother who specializes in cleaning and boiling tea and handing water, and then there is He Mi, who was sent by Minister Zhou to assist Professor Lan in his work." ”

"Well, have all three of them figured it out?"

"Yes, the seat, this chef's surname is Duan, and he cooks good dishes, especially Professor Lan's hometown cuisine is the best, after trying several cooks, he was left behind, this guy has no relatives in Shanghai, so he ...... alone"

Jiang Zhiqiang began to report the situation of the three people to Chen Miao.

Soon, Chen Miao finished smoking a cigarette in his hand, Jiang Zhiqiang wanted to give another one, but Chen Miao stretched out his hand and refused, because, he saw a mother and son walking down from the troop carrier,

The girl is not very old, she looks like she is in her thirties, she is wearing a traditional Japanese kimono, and the little boy is dressed in Western style, holding his mother's hand all the way, and there seems to be a trace of Professor Lan's charm between his eyebrows.

should have been told that someone came back to the dock to pick them up, so when they saw Chen Miao and the others and the two cars parked over there, they naturally came over.

The woman was also carrying a box that was not too small, and it looked a little difficult.

Chen Miao opened his mouth, Jiang Zhiqiang ran over quickly, and after a brief exchange with the kimono woman, he immediately took the box in his hand.

Without the drag of heavy objects, the mother and son moved forward much faster, and within a few minutes, the three of them came to Chen Miao together.

The woman bowed to Chen Miao.

Chen Miao nodded slightly: "Hello Mrs. Qingzi, this must be Professor Lan's son, Little Master Lan Dong, right?" ”

"Hai ......"

"Professor Lan has been looking forward to the two of you at home for more than a while, please ask Mrs. and Little Master to get into the car with me." Chen Miao pointed to Jiang Zhiqiang's car road.

Haruko thanked him and pulled the boy towards the car.

Jiang Zhiqiang had already put the salute into the car, then came over, opened the car door, and let the mother and son get into the car.

Because it is a military port, entry and exit need to be checked, however, Chen Miao has a special permit, but the military police officer of the navy just glanced at it and waved it away.

It took more than an hour to pass through Hongkou District and enter the public concession before rushing back to Huxi from Wusongkou, and the car stopped at Lane 1136 of Yuyuan Road.

"Madam, we have arrived, please get off with Little Master Lan." Jiang Zhiqiang got out of the car and opened the car door first.

It may be that after taking a boat, then by car, the journey is very tiring. When Haruko and her son got out of the car, their faces were a little pale, but she still endured a trace of discomfort and thanked her.

Take the salute off the car.

"Mrs. Haruko, please!" Chen Miao also got out of the car, left Xiao Qi alone, and then led Haruko's mother and son into the alley.

Someone stood guard at the door of Professor Lan with a gun, and when he saw Chen Miao and others coming, he hurriedly saluted.

"Open the door."

"Mrs. Haruko, please come inside." After the door opened, Chen Miao took the initiative to get out of the way and let Haruko's mother and son walk into the courtyard first, since this is Professor Lan's residence, Haruko is naturally the master.

Haruko bowed her head slightly, and led her son to walk in slowly.

Lan Yuhai, who heard the announcement, had already come out of it, and when he saw Haruko's mother and son appear, he instantly rushed down the steps excitedly and trotted all the way over.

"Haruko, Dong'er, you're finally here." Lan Yuhai hugged the mother and son into his arms at once.

"Professor Lan and Mrs. Haruko's mother and son are finally reunited, which is a gratifying thing." An uncomfortable voice suddenly sounded from behind Lan Yuhai.

Listening to this voice and emphasis, it is definitely not Chinese, so the taste of Little Japan is too strong.

Chen Miao frowned slightly, isn't Lan Yuhai not allowed to see guests here without Zhou Fuhai's permission? And what's going on with the guards outside?

Just as he was about to have a seizure, a familiar voice suddenly came out of the house.

Sakurako Ikeuchi!

Chen Miao was slightly startled, and took back the words she was about to scold: "Miss Sakura, why are you here?" ”

"Sanshuijun, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Yoshimasa Fujita, senior economic adviser to the new government in Nanjing." Sakurako Ikeuchi pointed to the Japanese man who had just spoken.

Chen Miao looked up and down at this Japanese named Fujita Yoshimasa, who was in his forties, not tall, with a rectangular face, and a pair of eyes flashing with a terrifying light, like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass. There is a small pinch of Ren Danhu under his nose, his lips are a little thin, but his waist is straight, this is a soldier, Chen Miao smelled the smell on his body, and he was still a soldier engaged in special work.

"Mr. Fujita." Chen Miao bowed slightly.

"Mr. Chen Miao, I have heard Miss Shadow mention you many times, saying that you are the most loyal and reliable friend of the Great Japanese Empire." Yoshimasa Fujita smiled.

"Miss Sakurako is in love." Chen Miao hurriedly said, and his intuition told him that this person named Fujita Fangzheng must have an extraordinary purpose when he came to see Lan Yuhai at this moment.

"Professor Lan, if your family is reunited today, I won't bother anymore and come back to visit another day." Yoshimasa Fujita offered his farewell.

Lan Yuhai nodded, it didn't seem to mean to send each other, it seemed that the conversation between the two did not seem to be smooth, and it might even be a little unpleasant.

Chen Miao looked at Sakurako in the pond, and sure enough, he saw her expression with a wry smile on her face.

"Mr. Fujita walks slowly." Although Chen Miao was not the master of this room, he felt that it was necessary to take the place of Lan Yuhai to ease the atmosphere between the two sides.

Fujita Yoshimasa's face was slightly pale, followed by two Japanese bodyguards and walked straight outside, Ikeuchi Sakurako followed closely, but said next to Chen Miao: "Sanshuijun, I'll go to 'Lin' to find you in a while." ”

"Huh?" Chen Miao frowned slightly, what is the situation?
