Chapter 653: The Operation Begins

Qin Ergou looked at the mountain and Shaanxi refugees on the sailboat opposite, crying loudly, and his heart was very uncomfortable. But when I thought that they could live a good life in Liaodong, I couldn't help but feel relieved. The river engine sailboat turned its bow and sailed to the mouth of the Yellow River at Yuntiguan, preparing to go along the Yellow River to Henan, and once again carry out the transshipment of displaced people.

At the same time, a large number of seagoing ships from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong also sailed to Liaodong, and Song Shiping, Zheng Zhilong, and Liu Xiang also went to the provinces south of the Yangtze River every year to collect the "displaced people" by various means.

In addition, due to the severe drought in several northern provinces this year, Wu Xiang of the Guanning Army and Cai Huaze of Shandong will also collect displaced people on a large scale and trade with the Far East. Starting this year, the Far East will set up collection points for displaced people along the coasts of Hebei and Shandong, and organize displaced people to go to sea to Liaodong.

This also indicates that the number of displaced people in the Far East will surge this year, and although the company's planning and finance department has increased the financial budget for immigrants this year, judging from the number of immigrants collected in various places last year, the company will definitely use special funds.

Starting from this autumn, several northern provinces of Daming will suffer from a large-scale drought, so the company's immigration situation will be more severe next year, and it is estimated that there will be a blowout growth. In the final analysis, the cost of immigration to the Far East is too high, and the cost of winter training and delivery of goods to households alone is astronomical.

At the same time as the company's immigration work was launched, Li Ming and Song Tao also rushed to Tanegashima to formulate and deploy the intelligence department's actions against Japan. After several months of preparation, the Ministry of Intelligence, together with the General Staff of the Military Commission, worked out a special operations plan.

At the Tanegashima Garrison Command, Li Ming, Zhou Billy, Song Tao and others were sitting together. Billy Chou is briefing everyone on the preparations for the operation, which is under the command of the Intelligence Department, and will be assisted by the Air Force Department's airship detachment and special operations team.

"The Ministry of Intelligence in Japan has been in the Ministry of Intelligence in recent times. I have done a lot of work, and I have basically figured out the situation in Edo Castle. The exact location of Tokugawa Iemitsu's residence has been determined, and the ground guidance and instruction devices have been secretly transported to Japan, and the intelligence officers of the Japanese intelligence station have already mastered how to use them. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the order to act. ”

Li Ming nodded when he heard this, and then said to Ding Weiguo next to him: "Old Ding." Is the Airship Force ready? ”

Ding Weiguo nodded heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "The Liaodong Air Boat Brigade of the Ministry of the Air Force, a total of eighteen airships have been assembled on Jeju Island and are ready to take off to participate in the operation at any time. In the past two months, the unit has continuously conducted drills and conducted five live-fire trainings, and the results have been very obvious. ”

Li Ming turned his head and said to Zhou Billy: "Old Zhou, let's start......"

Billy stood up and left the headquarters war room. Go and contact the Japanese intelligence station. Li Ming glanced at Song Tao, who had been silent, and said with a smile: "Why is Comrade Xiao Song so depressed?" ”

Song Tao glanced at Li Ming, and then said in a strange manner: "This operation doesn't need our special combat team at all, a few cans of chlorine can be thrown down, even a group of dinosaurs can be destroyed." We were tossed all the way over, and we were especially used as a spare tire. The Scout Training Center is about to have its second mass selection, and there's a lot of stuff waiting for me. ”

Li Ming glared and scolded: "You are still not a soldier. Where did so much come from. If something happens to me, you're going to force me down. Extinguish Tokugawa Iemitsu at all costs. ”

Song Tao shrank his neck when he was scolded by Li Ming, but he still muttered a few words in his mouth.

At this time, Billy Zhou walked in from outside, nodded at Li Ming and said, "I have already made arrangements, the Japanese intelligence station has already operated, if it goes well." You can move in the early hours of the day after tomorrow. ”

Listened to Billy Zhou's Hu. Li Ming said in a deep voice to the people in the room: "Let's prepare according to the plan we made before, and strive to be foolproof and ensure the success of the operation." ”

The people in the room all subconsciously stood upright, responded loudly, and then went to prepare. Only Song Tao, Ding Weiguo and Zhou Billy were left in the house. Li Ming pointed to the sand table of Edo Castle and said solemnly: "The wind has been strong in the past few days, but the wind direction is relatively stable, which is quite favorable to our actions. In order to ensure the success of the operation, it is necessary to increase the number of special weapons that will be delivered. It's just that in this way, the civilian losses of Edo Castle may be greater. Special weapons are too inhumane, so try to use them sparingly in the future. ”

Several people chuckled when they heard Li Ming's words. Song Tao said with a sad face: "Dude, this thing is really inhumane, it's a loss of conscience." ”

When Li Ming and the others heard this, they all looked at Song Tao strangely.

But the thing immediately laughed and said, "But the little devil is not human at all, and we call it inhumane." If I follow what I think, I'll just fucking throw a few hundred in Edo and let the whole city of little devils play, haha......"

Everyone also laughed, and Li Ming scolded with a smile: "Do you know how expensive that can of special weapons is, there are still hundreds, you really dare to say it." The special weapons that were placed in Edo during this operation were able to wipe out all the people living in the inner castle of Edo. ”

Zhou Billy thought for a while and said, "Commander, after this operation, will the Tokugawa family be destroyed too ruthlessly?" If Tokugawa Iemitsu and the daimyo of the Tokugawa shogunate die, will it affect our future plans? ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "It shouldn't be, the Tokugawa shogunate is flourishing, and there are many talented people, if there are too many people left, it will weaken the strength of the Tokugawa family." ”

The next night, the Tanegashima airship take-off and landing field was brightly lit, and Li Ming, Zhou Billy and others were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the airship detachment. Song Tao and more than a dozen special combat team members were also fully armed, each wearing a black night suit, wearing a night vision device, and their faces were covered with oil paint.

In fact, this time the special combat team was really a spare tire, and more than a dozen cans of special weapons were thrown into Edo City, at least a few people in the inner city could not survive. And each target is equipped with two airships, one of which is responsible for dropping special weapons, and the other is used as a reserve, and in case of trouble, it will also be put into battle.

But in order to act foolproof and completely solve Tokugawa Iemitsu, Li Ming still decided to let Song Tao and them accompany him, just in case.

Suddenly, a signal soldier beside Li Ming shouted: "Commander, we have received information from the airship brigade that it is expected to arrive at Tanegashima in ten minutes, so let's get ready." ”

Li Ming turned around and nodded to Hu Guosheng, the commander of the Tanegashima garrison, and Hu Guosheng hurriedly gave an order to the troops. The radio receivers on the ground, the landing guidance devices were activated. (To be continued......)
