Chapter 108: Evacuate And Transfer
For George VI and Elizabeth, they had been paying attention to the battle situation news of the Battle of Shanghai initiated by the Japanese Army in recent days, but today they had their attention diverted by the news of the new purchaser of No. 148.
“Elizabeth! What do you think is the background of that Chinese merchant who purchased the No. 148 villa?”
“I heard he actually bought the No. 148 villa at three times the price! And he also gave quite a lot of commission rewards to the intermediaries!”
“Additionally, I had people investigate and found that he is registering a foreign trade company and a freight company here in London!”
“Additionally, he has a fleet that is docking and on standby at our London port!”
“As for his detailed background, I have already instructed the people on the intelligence agency side to closely monitor and investigate!”
“There should be results soon!”
After George VI learned from his subordinate that No. 148 had been purchased by someone dispatched by Zhou Wenhua,
he was shocked and immediately said curiously to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who was petting the dog beside him.
“Haven’t you already asked the intelligence department to investigate?”
“Then why are you so anxious? Just wait for the response from the intelligence report side!”
“There should be news soon. I believe in our intelligence department’s ability to collect intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities. Moreover, whether it’s the foreign trade company, the freight company, or the newly purchased No. 148 villa, they are all here in our London, so investigating his background and details should not be difficult!”
Upon hearing this,
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon also responded with a relaxed and pleasant expression, smiling.
Regarding Zhou Wenhua dispatching personnel to purchase the No. 148 villa, so close to her own mansion residence,
Elizabeth was not too worried,
because the area here was constantly patrolled and guarded by police forces, so she was not worried whether Zhou Wenhua was a bad person,
especially since there were also large numbers of intelligence officers secretly monitoring everything about the residents here and the situations and backgrounds of the newly moved-in residents.
So Elizabeth felt even more at ease living there, not worried about suddenly being attacked by bad people.
“You’re right, I just really want to know the other’s background right now!”
“After all, we can be considered neighbors on the same street!”
George VI nodded in agreement.
“Then you can take people to secretly go over and check what the other looks like, talk to them, and see what kind of character they have!”
“Anyway, these can satisfy your curiosity, better than you randomly speculating here!”
Regarding George VI’s curious mood, Elizabeth proposed.
“Yes! Good idea! Then I’ll take people over to check it out later!”
“Anyway, I have time today!”
“And in the evening, I need to continue paying attention to the battle situation on the Shanghai side. I hope those damn Japanese people won’t threaten the safety of our Public Concession, otherwise I will definitely send troops to deal with them!”
Regarding Elizabeth’s proposal,
George VI’s eyes lit up as he expressed agreement.
Seeing this, Elizabeth just smiled and said nothing more, continuing to pet the dog.
Meanwhile, George VI immediately went to instruct personnel, preparing to go to No. 148 to personally lead people to investigate the situation.
As for this moment,
in Shanghai,
the security teams and German-equipped troops dispatched by Zhou Wenhua also quickly transferred locations,
because they discovered that large numbers of intelligence officers from the National Revolutionary Army intelligence agency and Japanese Army spies had fully mobilized to reconnoiter their backgrounds.
And during the evacuation and transfer of positions,
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie also immediately telephoned with German-equipped Company Commander Chen Weihua to report to Zhou Wenhua who was still in Yangcheng.
“Boss! Things are a bit bad. We are being searched and reconnoitered by large numbers of intelligence officers and spies!”
“These people include those from the National Revolutionary Army intelligence agency and from the Japanese people’s intelligence agency!”
“We can no longer stay on the Shanghai battlefield now, because we just discovered that in addition to these intelligence officers, the National Revolutionary Army has also dispatched German-equipped main force troops to search for our location, and the Japanese Army has also sent main elite forces to find us, so we have already evacuated from the Shanghai battlefield!”
“However, Zhou Weiguo and the others whom you had us rescue have already been safely rescued and escorted home! So please give new instructions next, Boss!”
After the call connected,
German-equipped Company Commander Chen Weihua took the lead and reported truthfully.
“Yes! I know. Immediately change your clothes and leave Shanghai quickly to wait for me in Xuzhou!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenhua also deeply felt that the situation seemed off,
so he decisively issued instructions.
“Yes! Boss!”
German-equipped Company Commander Chen Weihua quickly agreed.
Then, they chatted a bit about how to contact once they arrived in Xuzhou.
Then, both sides hung up the phone.
“It seems I may need to go abroad for a trip!”
“Now my German-equipped troops have probably attracted the attention of high-level figures in the National Revolutionary Army and Japanese Army!”
“Cannot continue to expose them!”
“However, before going abroad, I need to give some military supplies support to those Red Army troops about to undertake the Long March, hoping to reduce their casualties a bit!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wenhua made up his mind.
Immediately, he began preparing to contact the Red Army troops and provide military supplies support.
