"Why the start of the operation on April 28?" After secretly meeting with the captains of the lurkers in various places again, Zhou Rong finally gave the ultimate order, April 28 at midnight 0:00 for the action time, Hasegawa didn't understand why the boss would choose this day to act, it's only March, and the action time is almost more than a month away from now.

"Because the next day is the emperor's birthday, this is a gift from the boss to the emperor of Japan" Zhou Rong's eyes flashed with cold light, the day chosen by the boss is really good, the high-ranking Japanese emperor would never have dreamed that he would receive such a big gift on his birthday.

Before parting, Zhou Rong's aunt washed her hair once, which is a tradition of their Zhou family, whenever a relative goes out, the female elders in the family will wash the person's hair to show good intentions. Lying on her aunt's lap, Zhou Rong squinted with a smile, the long-lost warmth made her unbearable to leave, half an hour later, as long as she stepped out of this door, she and her aunt might become two people separated by yin and yang.

"Okay, they're all adults, so clingy like when they were children" Zhou Jinqin dried Zhou Rong's hair with a dry towel, looked at his niece stuck to his arms like a kitten, and couldn't help but gently pat Zhou Rong's back a few times with his hand. The entire Zhoujiazhuang was destroyed in the hands of the Kwantung Army, hundreds of people of all ages became lonely ghosts, and the Zhou family was left with himself and Zhou Rong, and Zhou Jinqin loved his niece unspeakably.

"Auntie, you have to take care, I'm leaving" Carrying her small suitcase, Zhou Rong got into the car without looking back, she didn't dare to look back at her aunt, she was afraid that as long as she turned back, she couldn't bear to leave, so she could only endure the moisture in her eyes and look straight ahead. When Zhou Rong left, Hasegawa happened to go to buy goods, so Zhou Rong left in a rickshaw, but ten minutes later, Zhou Rong, who was supposed to go to the dock to leave Japan by boat, appeared in a residence in Yokohama, where she was waiting for the connector to escort her to Tokyo.

In addition to the rough maps and harbor cities that Zhou Rong memorized in her head, she was blind to Japan and was not familiar with it at all, so she needed a guide, a guide who acted as her own. When Zhou Rong, who was far away in Yokohama, anxiously waiting for the connector to come to the door, Zhao Zhi, who was still in Chongqing, leisurely asked Dai Li to go out for tea, and the punishment operation was about to begin.

"Brother Boyuan, you really didn't just ask me out for tea, did you?" Looking at the skillful tea-making skills of the female tea master, Dai Li couldn't sit still, the military commander had a lot of things to deal with every day, where did he have as much time as Zhao Zhi to run out and drink tea.

Zhao Zhi waved his hand to signal the female tea master to go out, and then took a document from Luo Ying's hand and handed it to Dai Li, everything he wanted to say was in that document, he believed that Dai Li would understand the reason why he asked him out after reading it. Sure enough, Dai Li's originally calm face showed shock after opening the document, and he only read part of the content and stood up anxiously, "Boyuan, this action is too bold, and it will cause international public opinion to turn to Japan" Chiang Kai-shek has always sought the help of public opinion from the international community, and even with Dai Li, the head of the spies, he began to think about these things as a whole.

Zhao Zhi's punitive action is aimed at the Japanese mainland, and Zhao Zhi's more than 1,000 infiltrators will bring a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs into important locations in the Japanese mainland by carrying them with them, and some important military ports and arsenals will be dealt with by the action teams among the infiltrators. If Zhao Zhi's plan was only aimed at the Japanese army, then Dai Li would have nothing to say, but now Zhao Zhi's target will be those Japanese civilians, and Zhao Zhi's punishment will be accused of indiscriminate killing of innocents by the international community.

"Your brother really gave birth to a Buddha heart" Zhao Zhi smiled and took a stack of photos from Luo Ying's hand and threw them on the table, the content of the photos was a photo of a civilian who died in the Japanese bombing this month. "These people are ordinary people, they have never held guns and have not worked in the arsenal, but they have all died in the bombing of the Japanese army, who should these people go to seek justice? Will the international public opinion you insist on speak for them? ”

Zhao Zhi's smile carried a hint of coldness, "Now we have a belligerent relationship with Japan, and there are no civilians in the war, this is the rule set by the Japanese." If they don't think they're civilians when they shoot at our fellow citizens, why should I avoid their so-called civilians who are busy producing weapons and ammunition? You give me a reason" Dai Li was speechless for Zhao Zhi's question, indeed, since the Anti-Japanese War, countless civilians in China have died at the gunpoint of the Japanese army, but the international community only talks about and condemns these attacks on civilians, and there is nothing substantive at all.

"Any idea why I'm planning this action?" Zhao Zhi took out a stack of photos again and threw them on the table, and the content of the photos shocked Dai Li, who was like a rock. "This is the negative film I stumbled upon when I was rescuing a foreign journalist in Peiping, who was hiding in a German house when the city of Nanjing was broken, and these photos were taken by him. More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Nationalist army who were captured died in this way at the hands of the Japanese army, and according to the reporter, the number of civilians who died at the hands of the Japanese army was probably more than that.

Dai Li looked at the photos in his hand without saying a word, and the bloody content made Dai Li's head bruise, as if he was not bad, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice. Looking at Dai Li's reaction, Zhao Zhi knew that his first step had been successful, and as long as he opened his mouth, Dai Li would definitely agree to the agents of the Military Command Bureau lurking in Japan to help with the upcoming punishment operation. Those photos of the broken content of Nanjing City are just a bargaining chip for Zhao Zhi to gain convenience, as a mercenary, Zhao Zhi doesn't think there is anything wrong with his approach, as long as he can achieve his goal, Zhao Zhi needs to use every chip in his hand.

"I need the help of your military commander" Zhao Zhi took out a cigar from the box and handed it to Dai Li, but was pushed back by Dai Li, "My people are about to start the operation, but they still need some help, I know that your military commander also has lurkers in Japan, can you let your people provide some material help for my people" Zhao Zhi did not expect Dai Li to allow the military commander's sleepers in Japan to participate in his punishment operation, he just wanted to get some material help from Dai Li.

"Sulfuric acid, cotton, sugar, oilseeds, rubber products" Dai Li looked at the list of materials handed over by Zhao Zhi, quite unclear, since it was to ask for help, it should be some weapons, why are there some irrelevant things on the list? However, Dai Li knew that Zhao Zhi had always been changeable, so he only muttered in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth to ask.

"Not only that, I also need your people to help me prepare some weapons, I have a few action teams over there, but they lack heavy weapons" Zhao Zhi asked for something more reliable this time, but the number he listed made Dai Li gasp. The number of weapons in Zhao Zhi's list is enough to equip a reinforced company, and God knows how the action team that Zhao Zhi said could have so many people.

"Don't think about rejecting me, I know that your military commanders have a very good way, these weapons are just a drop in the bucket for you" Zhao Zhi put on the table this time was a rosewood box, which contained a jade jade Buddha that Zhao Zhi brought back from Myanmar. Without investment, you can't get the harvest, Zhao Zhi is convinced of this truth, Zhao Zhi has nothing else in his hands, but the top jadeite products brought back from Myanmar are the most.

"Is this a matter of saying hello to the old man first?" Dai Li played with the jade Buddha, but he was not sure how Chiang Kai-shek would react when he found out about it, but he knew what the consequences would be if he didn't tell Chiang Kai-shek. Since Chiang moved the capital to Chongqing, he has complained a lot about his generals, especially what he can't tolerate is that the people under him conceal it and don't report it, as Chiang Kai-shek's spy leader, Dai Li knows this very well.

"Okay, I won't accompany you to see the chairman" Zhao Zhi knew Dai Li's worries, and bluntly said that he still had something to do and left first. The punishment operation is basically a killing operation against the entire Japanese mainland, the lurkers will face those unarmed Japanese civilians, Zhao Zhi is to use the action of killing to stop killing, to warn the Japanese army to restrain military discipline, of course, this is just Zhao Zhi carried the banner of righteousness on his shoulders, his actual purpose is to destroy the military industrial enterprises in Japan as much as possible, and weaken the Japanese army's weapons and logistics to a certain extent.

Chiang Kai-shek, who got the news from Dai Li, really summoned Zhao Zhi at dinner, and at the dinner table, not only Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth to stop Zhao Zhi, but even Soong Meiling, who had just returned from the United States, also persuaded him, and they all hoped that Zhao Zhi would give up the punitive action, at least not on the birthday of the Japanese emperor, because they were worried that this would attract public opinion from the international community to condemn China.

"Germany has taken France and those small Eastern European countries, and at the same time it is still deliberately befriending the United States while forming an alliance with Italy, and the fall of Britain is only a matter of time, and now the so-called international community is a handful of powerful countries talking, as long as we are harder than Japan's fists and harder than them, do you think there will be anyone to help them speak?" Zhao Zhi's fist theory persuaded Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling that the people had begun to gradually lose confidence in the Nationalist Government, and it was indeed necessary to prove the Nationalist Government's determination and ability to resist Japan with practical actions.
