MTL - Bourne: Command and Conquer

 Chapter 891, codename Heather

 Make an appointment with MacFarlane on a time and place.

 At Kangyuan Western Restaurant. Zhang Yong likes it here very much.

 Because the nearby buildings are complex, they effectively block shots from 200 meters away. Don't worry about being plotted against.

 As long as there is no sniper rifle aimed at you, you cannot die.

 Because it was morning, there were not many customers in the western restaurant. Zhang Yong directly booked the venue.

 Look at your watch.

 Eight o'clock sharp in the morning. MacFarlane hasn't arrived yet.

 Yawn.

  I didn’t get any sleep at all last night.



 “What on earth are you going to do?”

 Now it is normal to send people ashore to directly deal with the army.

The Navy is absolutely crazy...

 Simple makeup.

 Suddenly, a red dot entered the edge of the map. It's marked.

 Leave the restaurant.

 Caught by the navy. The consequences are unpredictable.

Even Mr. Sugiyama Moto is on the list?

crazy…

What?

 The list of seventy-nine?

 The problem is that Hirobumi Noguchi is unlucky.

 Hateful Navy Red Deer!

 Actually slapped myself.

 “Nani?”

 “What are you going to do?”

 They actually wanted to eliminate Mr. Sugiyama Moto. Is this okay?

Sugiyama Gen is the deputy chief of staff!

you…

Noguchi Hirobumi was stunned.

When the target was caught off guard, Chen Hai and others swarmed up and held Noguchi Hirobumi firmly.

The other party is the navy? Still speaking Japanese?

"Snapped!"

"Clear the list. There are seventy-nine people in total. They are all the backbone of your army. Including the big idiot Sugiyama Moto..."

 “Noguchi-kun, calm down! We are the navy.”

 “What list?”

Noguchi Hirobumi was stunned.

 Suddenly, I felt a burning pain in my cheek.

 Then he quietly led people closer to Noguchi Hirobumi.

 “Who are you? What are you going to do? Let me go!”

"Noguchi-kun, you are not on the list we want to clear. So, you don't have to be so nervous."

Has the navy really come ashore? Just want revenge?

　　　The Navy suffered such huge losses during the February 26th Incident, so of course it was unwilling to let it go.

 I suddenly woke up. He was beaten.

 Check quietly. The discovery was Hirobumi Noguchi.

 Close your eyes and rest your mind.

Are all the rumors true?

 “Noguchi-kun, we don’t mean to offend, let’s have a good chat.”

How can it be?

Huh? This guy…

 Damn it!

  Bundle. Put on handcuffs. The eyes were also blindfolded. But there was no rag stuffed in the mouth.

idiot…

How could the navy...

 “Nani?”

 He seems to be entering the concession? What are you doing in the concession?

Sure enough, soon after, Noguchi Hirobumi entered the concession. Then skip through nearby streets.

 Zhang Yong speculated silently. Is this guy going to Rue Pétain?

 A thought came to mind. Decided to take action.

Noguchi Hirobumi was anxious and angry. But he didn't dare to fight back. There is no way to fight back.

 The result of fighting back is to continue to be beaten.

 Possibly beaten to death directly.

 The opponent is Navy Red Deer. It is the Army's biggest enemy. none of them.

"I am willing to cooperate." Noguchi Hirobumi quickly changed his tune.

“Yo Xi, are you going to No. 20 Beitang Road?” Zhang Yong asked coldly.

"yes…"

"What to do?"

 “Get something.”

 “A telegram to me.”

 “Baga! Don’t you have a radio yourself? Do you still need to go to Petain Road to get it?”

 “My radio station was robbed by the Chinese...”

 “Which Chinese?”

 “It’s that Zhang, Zhang Yong…”

“Are you talking about that idiot Zhang Yong? The one who is greedy for money and lustful?”

"yes…"

"Baga! That Zhang Yong is a waste! What ability does he have..."

 “No, no, no. Zhang Yong is definitely not a waste!”

 “Baga! He is a waste!”

"you…"

Noguchi Hirobumi stopped talking. Finally shut up.

 Originally, he wanted to remind the other party that Zhang Yong was definitely not a waste. But a very cruel opponent.

 Although Zhang Yong appears to be harmless to humans and animals, he has no power to catch a chicken. It's actually very vicious.

  Often you are arrested before you even react.

 I was arrested and I don’t know what happened.

 But my mind is spinning. What did you do to remind the Navy Red Deer?

The navy is the enemy of the army. Let them find Zhang Yong. Then he was taken care of by Zhang Yong. Nothing could be better.

 Having not been severely beaten by Zhang Yong, Navy Red Deer still thought how powerful he was.

After landing, there are no warships, how dare you be so arrogant!

 Sooner or later, Zhang Yong will teach you how to be a good person!

　　Bah!

 “What else is there in No. 20 Petain Road?”

 “Radio…”

“Besides radio, what else?”

“I don’t know. I’ve only been there once. All I saw was the radio…”

"Snapped!"

 Noguchi Hirobumi received another slap.

 Suddenly my face felt hot again. it hurts. it hurts.

idiot!

 Damn Navy Red Deer!

 Even more cruel than Zhang Yong!

 Others like Zhang Yong only want money and don’t hit anyone, right?

 Woo woo woo…

so sad.

He would rather meet Zhang Yong than the navy's Red Deer. real…

"Search!"

 Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Others immediately stepped forward and searched Noguchi Hirobumi’s body.

 As a result, nothing of value was found. No money. There is no intelligence either. It's basically a blank slate.

 “Where is Date Zongshu?” Zhang Yong continued to ask in Japanese.

 Fortunately, the other party has no money.

 Otherwise, it will be difficult for him...

 If the other party has money, should he take it or not?

 If you don’t take it, you won’t be willing to part with it. If you take it, you will probably be suspected.

These Japanese spies are very smart, and they may be able to connect themselves with the Japanese navy through certain details.

it's good now. No money. No need to take it.

"who?"

“Haga! Let me ask you, where are Date Muneki, Shimazu Funaki, and Kuribayashi Aoyan.”

 “I don’t know. Don’t know. Really.”

“Baga! You lied! You can’t possibly not know! You are the chief of the Huai Agency!”

"I really don't know. Really. The headquarters of our Huai Agency was destroyed by Zhang Yong. Now the Huai Agency no longer exists. The Tan Agency has also lost contact..."

 “Lost contact? What does it mean?”

“It’s the headquarters radio station of Tan Agency. It can no longer be contacted. It may have been destroyed. The military department is sending people to check.”

“Baga! You trash! Idiots! Useless garbage!”

"Yes Yes Yes…"

"roll!"

"Yes Yes Yes…"

Noguchi Hirobumi ran away with his head in his arms.

 Then I realized something was wrong.

　　　My handcuffs and ropes have not been untied!

But he didn’t dare to stop.

joke.

 Run quickly.

If you are caught again, you will die.

"idiot!"

 Hearing curses coming from behind.

 Noguchi Hirobumi suddenly ran faster. I wish I had two more legs.

 He didn’t feel relieved until he got close to No. 20 Petain Road. Quickly recall the names just now. Are all the Navy Red Deer to be cleared?

Li Lin Qingyan is actually on the list? He is at No. 20 Petain Road!

Hurry and rush to No. 20 Petain Road. Knock on the door. Say the contact code.

 “Click!”

 The mechanism is turned on.

 Noguchi Hirobumi entered smoothly.

 Someone came out from inside. Give him a nod. Express greetings.

 “Kuribayashi-kun, there’s a situation!”

 Noguchi Hirobumi hurriedly told what happened on the road.

 The Japanese in front of him is Kuribayashi Aoiyan.

 It was he who remotely controlled the bombing in Jinling in Shanghai. For his own safety, he stayed far away from Jinling.

"What's up?"

 “I was attacked by men from the Navy Red Deer.”

 “Nani?”

Li Lin Qingyan frowned.

Navy Red Deer? They actually attacked Hirobumi Noguchi?

These bastards!

How dare you attack the army!

idiot!

They must be taught a lesson!

 Don’t think that because they have Marines stationed in Hongkou, they can be lawless.

The few people the Navy and Red Deer have on the shore are simply not enough for the Army to carry out a single charge.

Ribayashi Qingyan has a brother named Ribayashi Tadashi who is the commander of the cavalry brigade. The cavalry is the noble branch of the army. Very honorable. Therefore, Kuribayashi Aoiyan hates Navy Red Deer very much. It is believed that the Navy has taken up too much military spending. The military expenditures received by the Army are pitiful. Otherwise, the Army could form more cavalry. He is at least a cavalry captain now.

idiot!

 Hateful Navy Red Deer!

 Must find a way to kill them! Let them know how great it is!

The navy that came ashore is just scum!

 “Where are they?”

"at…"

  Noguchi Hirobumi roughly describes the address.

 He is not very familiar with the concession either.

 “How many are they?”

 “Unclear.”

 “Who is taking the lead?”

 “Unclear.”

 “Baga! Then how on earth do you plan to become the Navy Red Deer?”

“They are the Navy Red Deer! They all speak with a Satsuma accent. I can’t be mistaken. The person talking to me is definitely from the Satsuma Domain.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Li Lin Qingyan gradually calmed down.

 Satsuma Domain?

What is the historical origin of the Navy Red Deer?

If it has the accent of the Satsuma clan, it means that it is not an ordinary navy red deer...

 “That’s right. They have a list of seventy-nine people.”

 “What list?”

 “Said to be the backbone of the army that needs to be eliminated...”

  "Haga!"    "I heard Date Muneki, Shimazu Funaki..."

 “Nani?”

 “And your Excellency, Kuribayashi-kun…”

"idiot!"

Li Lin Qingyan frowned.

The clearance list for Navy Red Deer? Seventy-nine people?

Are they crazy?

Who do you think they are? Want to clear out seventy-nine people...

 But I immediately thought of the Tokyo Incident...

 It doesn’t seem like there are many.

no.

 This matter must be considered in the long term.

 …

 Zhang Yong returned to Kangyuan Western Restaurant.

 A trip in vain. Hope turns to disappointment.

  It turns out that No. 20 Petain Road was the headquarters of the Japanese invaders.

 Ling Yan and the others guessed correctly. The Japanese invaders did have such a general radio station. Responsible for receiving telegrams from respective parties. Then summarize, analyze and organize.

 Finally form information. Categorize. Then they are distributed to those in need.

 To say it is worthless, there is a point.

 To say that it is of great value, but also...

 In short, it has little to do with Zhang Yong. Unless he wants to steal the radio station inside.

 However, this is Petain Road. It is a place where patrols in the concession are on high alert. Get started here, shoot, and move the radio station away. It’s not impossible. But it will cause serious consequences. It may make it difficult for you to move around in the concession from now on. The gain outweighs the loss.

 Let’s leave it alone for now.

 The map prompts that there is a white point to enter. There are labels. That's MacFarlane.

Ah, this American with a complicated identity is finally willing to show up?

 Wait quietly.

 Until MacFarlane entered the Western restaurant.

 I found that the other party looked very haggard. Eyes are red. Do you seem to be staying up late?

strangeness…

Does this foreign devil also need to stay up late?

 Isn’t their life very comfortable? The eyes actually turned into monkey butts?

 Pretend to find nothing. stand up. Just say hello.

 Wait for the other person to sit down. Zhang Yong started talking.

"What did you say?"

 “Lawrence Tour Group. You should have an impression.”

"oh…"

McFarlane was noncommittal.

 Then he called the waiter loudly.

 “Five cups of coffee!”

 “The thickest! The thickest!”

 “Five cups!”

McFarland yelled.

 Then rub your face vigorously. Started rubbing his eyes again.

 Looking as if he might fall asleep at any moment.

 Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.

　McFarlane’s expression is wrong!

Over there, the British attach great importance to it, but you, the Americans, are so indifferent.

finally…

 The coffee is here.

 Very thick. Very strong. Very bitter. Very bitter.

McFarlane, however, drank it all in one gulp. I drank three drinks in a row. Just slowed down.

 “Do you have anything else to do?”

　　“Do you really not care about this Lawrence? He is an American. He was killed…”

 “Do you know who Lawrence is?”

"have no idea."

 “He was a prisoner. A criminal cowboy who traversed the Western world. A lot of crimes.”

"ah?"

“The so-called tourist group is actually a group of fugitives who couldn’t stay there any longer, so they found an opportunity and ran to China. They wanted to take refuge here.”

 “And then died?”

"I do not care."

 Zhang Yong:…

All right. If you don’t care, just don’t care.

If it’s really a group of western fugitives, I really don’t care. Better to be dead.

　　Okay, in that case, I'm fine.

 Get ready to stand up and say goodbye.

 McFarlane started talking. He originally came to Zhang Yong for something.

 “Zhang, today, I’d like to introduce you to someone.”

"who?"

 “He’s from the FBI.”

"What?"

 Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.

 Did you hear that right? The other party said FBI?

  Traveling to this era, can you actually meet someone from the FBI?

etc…

 Let me think about it. When was the FBI established?

McFarland is not lying to himself, is he? Bullying yourself for not knowing the situation in the beautiful country, and then talking nonsense?

 Oh, probably not.

 Zhang Yong does not remember the exact time when the FBI was established. But I remember there was a Hoover in the early days, who seemed to be very awesome. Moreover, it should be before the outbreak of World War II. Because there was a prohibition or something. American gangsters often compete with the FBI...

 The question is, what are the FBI people doing in Shanghai?

 Is this place under their control?

 Oh, it seems that it can be managed.

  Chiang Kai-shek would not protest anyway. Foreigners can do whatever they want...

 “What B?” Zhang Yong pretended to be stupid.

McFarland smiled and explained, "It's the FBI."

"never heard of that."

 “They used to be called the Bureau of Investigation.”

 “I haven’t heard of it.”

“Anyway, you just know that they are responsible for investigating various crimes.”

“So, they are here to investigate Lawrence?”

"of course not."

"oh…"

 Zhang Yong said that he didn’t understand anything.

McFarlane also knew he didn’t know anything. So, I don’t bother to explain.

 In his heart, he also looks down on Asians. Only use it when necessary. They are too lazy to deal with each other when there is no need.

 Soon, a tall, thin man appeared. Wearing a suit. Wearing a round hat.

  It is very consistent with the costumes of characters in early Chinese film and television dramas. There were two revolvers undisguisedly stuck on his waist.

 Zhang Yong looked at it and couldn't tell whether it was the British Webley or the American Browning. Feeling similar?

 “My name is Godric.”

 Introduce yourself to the other person. Staring at Zhang Yong.

 Zhang Yong felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

very bad.

 I was secretly doubting.

The other party comes to you, what should you do?

"you…"

“Team Leader Zhang, if an American is kidnapped or killed recently, I hope you will notify me as soon as possible.”

"Can."

 Zhang Yong readily agreed.

Godric took out a business card box and pulled one out.

"this is my name card."

"Thanks."

 Zhang Yong took it over.

Discovered that there was no FBI label on it.

 On the contrary, he is a business representative of an import and export trading company. clear. Cover your identity.

Then…

There's no after that.

Godric and MacFarlane quickly said their goodbyes and left.

 No mention of Lawrence.

Zhang Yong then judged that they were not coming for Lawrence. Otherwise, you should at least go see the scene.

So, what does Godric mean? What is he going to do?

 Think about it for a while. No point.

So I’m too lazy to think about it anymore. He also got up and left.

 Go through the street corner in front. Saw a foreigner. The other party seemed to be waiting for him.

very young. Very handsome. Like Tongalus in his youth.

 The only difference is a motorcycle.

 Zhang Yong walked directly towards the other party. The other party also smiled at him. Then whistle. He said that what he was looking for was indeed Zhang Yong.

 “Are you looking for me?”

“My name is Rod Hart. Is your name Zhang Yong?”

"yes."

 Zhang Yong admitted it frankly.

The other party probably already knows his identity.

 “I’m a private detective.”

 “What do you want from me?”

“We believe that Mr. Zhang is also looking for an American.”

"yes."

 Zhang Yong still answered honestly.

 In fact, he also wanted to get more information. After all, $30,000 was at stake.

 “I’m here for the money.”

"Me too."

 “Found alive. Half a million dollars.”

"What?"

 “Find the dead man. One hundred thousand dollars.”

"Um?"

 Zhang Yong immediately realized that he had really been deceived by Henry.

This Henry, the middleman makes a lot of money from the price difference!

 Others offered $500,000, but only gave me $30,000.

 Paralyzed!

If you find dead people, there will be 100,000 people!

 Angry!

Want to go on strike. Quit.

 “So, who is missing?”

 “Codename Heather.”

"What?"

 Zhang Yong was sure that he heard correctly.

 The noun the other party mentioned was indeed heather. The English name is Heather.

It was nothing at first. It was because he saw some things on the Internet that he shouldn't have seen in his previous life. Then the plant heather is still fresh in my memory.

“I don’t know who he is either. I only know the code name Heather.”

 “Then you come to me...”

 “We join forces. It’s a 50-50 split.”

 “I have no clue at all.”

 Zhang Yong admitted honestly.

 He didn't have much impression of Rodhart.

 At least, it seems easier to communicate than the old-fashioned Godric. Good looks too.

"I do not have either."

"That…"

 “Let’s try our luck.”

"All right."

 Zhang Yong agreed.

 Just try your luck.

What if one day the blind cat really hits a dead mouse?

hehe…
