In the distant Asian theater, Japanese patrol ships cruised the sea. The warships that could compete with the Japanese Navy, or dare to challenge the Japanese Navy, have all sunk in the icy waters.

In the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait, at this time, it can be regarded as a relatively core inland sea controlled by Japan, and the patrol ships of the Japanese Navy all have a smell of arrogance.

"Ships ahead, slow down! Decelerate! Standing on the gunboat, the Japanese lieutenant looked at the huge transport ship in front of him and shouted loudly with a horn.

"Woo......!" The whistle on the patrol boat was sounded by Japanese sailors, as if they wanted to show their momentum in front of this giant ship with a displacement of several thousand tons.

It's just that when the angle changed and they saw the red flag hanging at the stern of the boat, their faces involuntarily changed.

"Uh......h Woo......! With a louder noise, the freighter in front of him responded, and seemed to be more confident.

It was hung with a red German naval flag, which was separated by an iron cross, and there was a swastika to the left near the center of the flag.

Then, in the upper left corner of this flag, on top of the red piece that has been divided, there is a symbol that is the same as the Iron Cross.

The flag was gently waving in the sea breeze, and the German sailors on the ship, leaning against the railing, smiled at the shabby Japanese patrol boat in front of them.

"Lieutenant, lieutenant...... It's a German transport......" The Japanese sailors were shocked by the sound of the whistle and reported to their commander in frustration.

"I see! I'm not blind! The lieutenant snorted hatefully, and then pressed his command knife and watched the huge ship pass in front of his eyes.

After all, this is a German transport ship, and the order of the base camp is that any German ship must be treated with courtesy, and until the other side has not broken the rules, it must be as convenient as possible and friendly.

Although Japan's desire to join the Axis powers was shattered by the German Führer, the cooperative relationship between the two countries is still very friendly.

For example, the performance of the American fighter provided by the German army has given the Japanese naval aviation an absolute superiority in air supremacy until now.

In addition, penicillin produced by the Germans is also a very valuable medical medicine. With these herbs, Japan expanded in the jungle and injuries were brought under control.

If it weren't for Germany's humanitarian aid to China, which made the Japanese grassroots hate it to the roots, perhaps Germany would have been "the best friend of the Imperial Japanese Army in Europe" in Japanese propaganda.

Moreover, if the German side nods, the adjective of the word friend will immediately be promoted to the rank of comrade-in-arms.

There is even wishful thinking on the part of the Japanese army top brass that Germany will arm Japanese soldiers and reorganize the most terrifying and powerful army units in the world.

The firepower is fierce, not afraid of death, obeys the command, and can endure hardships...... Anyway, this kind of freak born from making up for each other's shortcomings can definitely make the armies of other countries in the world chill.

It is a pity that the German Army was also invincible in the European theater of operations, and for a time it was unwilling to cooperate with Japan and engage in any joint forces.

"Signal! We're going to board the ship and check it! "The lieutenant, though reluctant, was able to carry out the inspection only in accordance with the most formal procedures.

The last thing he wanted to inspect was the German ships, because the captains of the German ships were generally reluctant to take bribes, and the ships themselves did not have much oil and water to scavenge.

Although the food on the German ocean-going ships was quite good, it was actually only second-rate compared to the treatment of the Japanese navy.

In the victorious period, when supplies were far from the stage of scarcity, the food of the Japanese Navy could definitely be described as extravagant.

The Japanese, who loved to eat fish, had a variety of recipes on the battleship to ensure the vitamins and nutrition needed by the sailors.

To get to the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait, German transport ships had to pass through the Indian Ocean. British government-in-exile warships generally do not take the initiative to intercept them, but they still take some risks.

So, in general, there are not many ships that carry out such transport tasks, and they transport very valuable things.

For example, the transport ship in front of me is piled with penicillin and other drugs. When they go, they usually go on a buying spree and return with a full load of rubber from Southeast Asia.

"Not a ship to Japan?" The Japanese lieutenant pressed his command knife, stood on the deck of the German transport ship, looked at his counterparts in the uniform of the German Navy, and questioned with a gloomy expression.

"We are a transport ship belonging to the German Red Cross, and the supplies here are the humanitarian aid that our country has given to Chinese refugees." The German captain at the head handed over a document written in Japanese and German.

It is stamped with various stamps, which testify to the "hard-won" nature of this document. Among them, there are at least two seals, which are from the Japanese side.

One is the official seal of the Japanese ambassador to Germany, and the other is the personal seal of the special envoy of the Japanese emperor. It is also only possible to transport the ship from Germany to Asia, if both of them approve it.

"Gu Dong ......" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the Japanese lieutenant folded the document in his hand, looked at the mountain of precious medicines in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

His responsibility is to cut off any material transportation to China from the outside world. However, at present, someone can come up with legal documents to prove that the transportation of materials to China is reasonable and allowed by the Japanese high-level...... It really made him laugh and cry.

This feeling of having to admit that the other party is strong and tolerate the other party's arrogance really makes him feel humiliated - according to the temper he has cultivated in China, he should draw his command knife at this time and cut the person in front of him to vent his hatred.

It's a pity that he really didn't dare to do it. Because right in front of him, the German sailors standing were not bare-handed. They had MP-40 submachine guns in their hands and disdainful expressions on their faces.

What annoyed the Japanese lieutenant the most was that it was also allowed to wear weapons in order to ensure the personal safety of German soldiers in Japanese-controlled areas......

"If my formalities are complete, then please ask you, Mr. Lieutenant...... Fulfill your duties as an escort and send us to the coastal areas of Fujian controlled by the Chongqing government. The German captain smiled and gave the order to send off the passengers.

Then, suddenly, he added: "There is another distinguished guest on the ship, please inform the Shanghai Dispatch Army Command ......."

Although he was reluctant, hearing the latter sentence, the Japanese lieutenant knew that he could not afford to delay the military plane, so he quickly climbed back into his patrol boat and sent a telegram to the top management.
