Chapter 106: Arrival At The Thirteen Factories
Capital Nanjing, Chairman Chang’s mansion,
“An extra German-equipped troop appeared on the Shanghai Battlefield, with about the strength of a reinforced company?”
“The four new German-equipped divisions I just formed under my command—when, and for what reason, was a reinforced company dispatched early to the Caojia Bridge side to support the 19th Route Army and rout the Japanese Marine Corps?”
“What exactly is going on here?”
“Yunong?”
As soon as Chairman Chang learned that an extra German-equipped reinforced company had appeared early on the Shanghai Battlefield,
Chairman Chang also wore a face full of puzzled confusion, and gravely pressed Boss Dai, whom he had urgently summoned again, for an answer.
“Your Excellency! This subordinate has already dispatched a large number of intelligence officers, who are accelerating reconnaissance of intelligence, so please give me a little time, and I will surely give you a satisfactory report, because we still haven’t investigated where this German-equipped reinforced company troop came from!”
“But it can be very definitely confirmed that it absolutely is not from the four new German-equipped division troops that you formed, Your Excellency!”
“The German-equipped troops of the 19th Route Army that have now taken over defense on the Caojia Bridge side is a main force battalion of the 87th Division!”
“The battalion commander is called Chen Jiande!”
“But we have also inquired with him, and he absolutely did not dispatch a reinforced company early to rush over and support the 19th Route Army!”
Regarding Chairman Chang’s extremely grave inquiry,
Boss Dai immediately broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly reported respectfully.
For him, after receiving such an unbelievable intelligence report,
he also quickly mobilized a large number of intelligence personnel, joining with the subordinates of other intelligence heads, to conduct a comprehensive emergency reconnaissance together, but unfortunately up to now, they still had not investigated the origins of Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped reinforced company, and even its whereabouts were unknown.
“This is already the second day, and I hope that tomorrow, or the day after, I must know the detailed background and information on this German-equipped reinforced company!”
“Otherwise, you and the other intelligence management will prepare to receive my punishment!”
“I do not want the intelligence agency under my command to all be trash!”
“Not only is their intelligence collection ability poor, but they can’t even investigate useful intelligence on such important military intelligence—that’s simply no value in continuing to exist!”
“You know, if we can’t even collect intelligence on why such a German-equipped reinforced company troop suddenly appeared in Shanghai, then does that mean if these elusive German-equipped troops suddenly appear in our capital Nanjing, or even at my mansion, you intelligence trash also won’t be able to reconnoiter it for me?”
“If that’s really the case, then can my personal safety, and the nation’s security safety, still have any guarantee?”
Upon hearing that a day had already passed, yet they still had nothing to show for it and still did not know the whereabouts and origins of Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped reinforced company,
Chairman Chang could not help but roar repeatedly out of the worry and anxiety in his heart.
Especially upon thinking that if these German-equipped troops were dispatched by the enemy and very unfavorable to him, then if they infiltrated his capital and mansion unbeknownst to gods or ghosts, the consequences would be unimaginable,
so upon thinking of these dangerous results and risks,
Chairman Chang’s irritability erupted like a volcano that had been ignited, roaring uncontrollably.
“This subordinate will definitely complete the reconnaissance mission!”
“At the latest the day after tomorrow, I will surely give you a satisfactory report, Your Excellency!”
After Chairman Chang’s volcanic rage finally subsided,
Boss Dai, who had been thoroughly scolded, was drenched in sweat and promised and guaranteed.
“Then go investigate immediately!”
“At the latest the day after tomorrow, I must see you fulfill your promise and report to me clearly on everything about this suddenly appeared German-equipped reinforced company!”
“Also keep a good watch on the Japanese Army intelligence agency and the upcoming various actions of the Japanese Marine Corps!”
“Report to me every three hours!”
“Right now my direct elite troops have taken over the 19th Route Army’s defense positions, so I absolutely will not allow my main elite troops to suffer heavy casualties!”
Looking at Boss Dai, whose face was full of fear, Chairman Chang continued to issue instructions.
“Yes! This subordinate guarantees completion of the task!”
“Please rest assured, Your Excellency!”
Hearing this, Boss Dai also nodded respectfully again and agreed.
Then, under Chairman Chang’s angry glaring gaze, he exited the meeting hall and hurriedly went to act on orders.
Meanwhile, Chairman Chang continued to pay attention to the latest battle situation on the Shanghai Battlefield.
Meanwhile, Zhou Weiguo, who had been rescued from Caojia Bridge by Zhou Wenhua and had already rendezvoused with other Fudan University classmates, also escorted Chen Yi home.
And at this time, Zhou Wenhua had already arrived at the Thirteen Factories in Yangcheng, and under the protection of his plainclothes guard team, was conducting a tour.
