Chapter 1241 It seems that today is not a good day

Xiang Chu talked about it: "Chongqing is mountainous, foggy and has many air-raid shelters, which limited the targets for the Japanese Air Force to bomb. The hit rate was not high, and often a bomb dropped on the ground would only create a big hole at most.

The cost of an aerial bomb is 1500 yen. Add the cost of shipping, fuel for air force attacks, mechanical wear and tear, and other costs, and the total cost of an aerial bomb is at least 2000 yen.

One aerial bomb can buy about 4 tons of rice. If a hundred aerial bombs are dropped at a time, that would be tons of rice.

So Japan concluded that bombing Chongqing was militarily ineffective, economically unprofitable, and could not be sustained for long.

Everyone in the conference room listened with great interest and nodded continuously to show their agreement.

Of course, there are also those who disagree.

Tep sneered, "Mr. Kong! According to what you said, the Japanese will not bomb Chongqing."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! The Fuso people will mobilize all their resources and bomb Chongqing as usual. And they will be even more hysterical, bombing indiscriminately and crazily, even bombing shelters, causing panic."

Nader asked with a smile: "Mr. Kong! Why don't you think Japan attack Chongqing from the ground?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "According to the repeated arguments of the Japanese headquarters, the attack on Chongqing would require at least 50 troops, 20 tons of steel, and a large amount of fuel.

By the end of 1939, the Japanese government had exhausted its treasury, and coupled with the US embargo, it was simply unable to raise so much supplies. "

Nader nodded and said, "You said it very well! But Japan will never admit defeat. What will they do next?"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "He has a big appetite! His navy will move eastward to attack Pearl Harbor and destroy the US Pacific Fleet. His army will move southward to Southeast Asia to seize supplies. In the name of supporting the Axis powers, he will fully occupy East Asia.

With Japan's military strength, if China hadn't held it back, it would have already moved east to Hawaii and swept across Southeast Asia."

Tep sneered, "Mr. Kong! You are exaggerating. It's too alarmist."

Tom echoed: "That's right! Such ridiculous language, it's really funny."

Wei Si said anxiously, "Minister Chen! Kong Ling is talking nonsense and causing disgust among the military inspection team. He should be kicked out of the venue."

Minister Chen smiled and said, "No! What Kong Ling said are objective facts, there is nothing wrong with it."

Nader nodded and said, "Mr. Kong said it very well. Helping China in the war of resistance is helping to defeat fascism. We should provide all-round assistance to China."

Minister Chen said excitedly: "Thank you! Thank you Mr. Nader."

He led the applause and the conference room burst into thunderous applause.

Nader said with a smile, "Mr. Chen! That's all for tonight's meeting. Let's set off early tomorrow morning to see the Zero plane?"

"it is good!"

Minister Chen said happily.

Zeng Mansion, underground secret room.

Qing Mu Lianhua said in annoyance, "Oh! If I had known that Tep brought the radio, I shouldn't have gone there. I actually ran into Dainong and the others."

Zeng Yun comforted her, "Miss! You have passed the information on and it has not been discovered by Dai Nong yet. That's good enough."

Qing Mu Lianhua shook her head and said, "No! I felt like I was on edge, afraid that someone would find out."

Zeng Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I have sent the Bamboo Snake Team to ambush Black Wind Pass in advance. All those who accompany the military inspection team will die tomorrow."

Qing Mu Lianhua nodded and said, "Yoshi! Even Minister Chen must be killed."

Zeng Yun said with a smile: "Of course! Only if I kill him will I have a chance to be promoted."

At this time, the radio transmission sounded.

Zeng Yun hurried forward to copy and translate the message, frowning and saying:

"Miss! There's a call from the headquarters. Tep wants to go with the inspection team to see the Zero fighter tomorrow. We are asked to pay more attention to his safety during the assassination."

Qing Mu Lianhua asked in surprise: "The Empire's Zero fighter hasn't been blown up yet?"

Zeng Yun said bitterly: "This Doihara Ken'er is passing on false information."

Qing Mu Lianhua waved her hand and said, "Let's not worry about Doihara Ken'er for now. Tep still has to go tomorrow, so we should adjust our assassination plan appropriately."

Zeng Yun shook his head and said, "It can't be adjusted. The bamboo snakes have already been dispatched. For safety reasons, I didn't let them bring a radio, so there is no way to contact them. Why did this Tep have to go?"

Qing Mu Lianhua smiled bitterly and said, "He must have gone there to find the location where the Chinese Air Force hid the Zero aircraft, and then report it to the higher authorities so that they can send Army Air Force bombers to bomb them."

Zeng Yun nodded and said, "Yeah! That sounds reasonable. Don't worry! Takeshita Kishio will take Tep and the third brother to his car tomorrow morning."

Qing Mu Lian Hua was surprised and asked, "Old Zeng! Did you get Takeshita Kishio into the inspection team?"

Zeng Yun smiled and said, "Yes! I placed Takeshita Junfu in the Political Department's motorcade."

Qing Mu Lianhua shook her head and said, "If the person you planted is exposed, you will definitely be implicated. Don't do this kind of thing in the future."

"Hello!"

Zeng Yun bowed and accepted the order.

National Restaurant, Xiang Chu and Kong Ling’s room.

Xiang Chu took off his mask and shook his head, saying, "I said too much today, and it's easy to be exposed."

Kong Ling said angrily, "What are you afraid of? At worst, we can just show our cards and stop lurking."

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "You make it sound easy, but what about our trading company, docks, airlines, freight companies, hospitals, film companies and other industries? They all involve real money."

Kong Ling nodded and said, "That's right! Then you should hide yourself well."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Chu hurriedly put on his mask and went forward to open the door.

Wei Si said anxiously outside the door: "Mr. Kong! Did you steal my watch?"

"You are sick, aren't you?"

Xiang Chu cursed angrily and slammed the door shut.

Wei Si yelled outside the door: "Who stole my Rolex watch?"

Kong Ling sneered and said, "This person who likes to show off has tasted the bitter fruit."

Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Could it be that Tom stole his watch?"

Kong Ling said angrily: "Stop gossiping! Go to bed quickly."

"Yes! Madam."

Xiang Chu hurriedly accepted the order.

The next morning, in the courtyard downstairs of the National Restaurant.

Three support vehicles are already in place, waiting for the military inspection team to get off and board.

Xiang Chu and Kong Ling were dressing up and were standing on the balcony looking down.

A large red circle was drawn on the roof of the last support vehicle.

The white roof and the red circle perfectly represent the Japanese national flag.

Xiang Chu was shocked and thought to himself: "It seems that today is not a good day!"

Kong Ling had packed everything and urged:

"What are you looking at? Let's go."

Xiang Chu pulled her onto the balcony, pointed at the car with a red circle below and said:

"We'll take that car today."

Kong Ling shook her head and said, "No! We have to accompany Minister Chen and Captain Nader."

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you think that circle looks like the Japanese flag?"

Kong Ling said angrily: "That car belongs to our political department, and it has always been like that."

Xiang Chu said in astonishment: "Really?! I was just being overly suspicious."

In the courtyard downstairs, the members of the inspection team were boarding the bus.

Kishio Takeshita was the driver of the last car with a red circle on the roof, which was the spare car.

He saw the domineering Lin Qiao'er at a glance, walked up to her and said with a smile:

"Ms. Lin! Get in my car."

Domineering Lin Qiaoer shook her head and said, "Driver Zhu! I'll take the middle one."

Takeshita Kishio said anxiously, "Don't! This is something Minister Zeng specifically instructed us to do."

Domineering Lin Qiao'er was stunned, nodded and said: "Okay then!"

Takeshita Kishio saw Tep coming down the stairs and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Tep! Miss Lin is taking my car. You can get in too."

"very good!"

Tep said happily, knowing that this was specially arranged by the Japanese spies in Chongqing.
