Zhang Yong stood on the side of the speedboat and looked at Jinling in the distance with a hint of emotion.
Jinling, the capital of the country!
A prosperous place in the Six Dynasties.
The wind and moon of Qinhuai, the wind and rain of Zhongshan...
But it is easy to attack but difficult to defend.
It seems difficult for any dynasty whose capital is Jinling to maintain long-term stability.
Northern and Southern Dynasties...
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms...
The Ming Dynasty later moved its capital to Peking, which lasted just over two hundred years.
If we continue to make Jinling the capital, we may not be able to survive...
wrong.
From the moment Zhu Di entered Jinling, the original Ming Dynasty had perished.
Instead, it was the Ming Dynasty whose capital was Beiping.
Jinling has changed hands repeatedly in history. Now, history is about to repeat itself.
"Commissioner, do you really want to go ashore?"
"Yes."
"It's not safe on the shore..."
"I know."
Zhang Yong nodded.
It's certainly not safe on the shore.
Overtly or covertly, there were many people who wanted Zhang Yong's life.
However, this statement does not seem to be so absolute. At this moment, Jinling is actually very safe.
Those who wanted Zhang Yong's life have probably left Jinling.
Including the Fruit Party's party headquarters, the Executive Yuan, etc., they have all been evacuated from Hankou long ago.
Those who are staying in Jinling now are preparing for war.
There may be fewer monsters and monsters than usual.
If you are timid, you will have run away long ago.
Of course, one cannot take it too lightly.
He came to Jinling alone this time, with only three people.
Didn't bring any troops.
Because I can't bring it with me.
The only speedboat was also brought from Zhenjiang.
In Zhenjiang, the navy's lightning and thunder school still preserves three speedboats that burn oil.
It is a pure speedboat. It can transport six people. But it cannot mount torpedoes.
Under Zhang Yong's order, the remnants of the national navy thought hard and racked their brains, but they did not think of any way to sink the Japanese warships.
However, they searched the guts and looked for solutions everywhere, and found some messy things.
For example, these three speedboats cannot carry torpedoes.
Just right for Zhang Yong.
A speedboat can run as fast as 25 knots on the river. When converted, it is about 46 kilometers per hour.
This speed is already very fast. From Jinling to Jiangyin, it takes three hours. Of course, this is downstream.
If it's countercurrent, it may take four hours or five hours.
However, compared with other transport ships, this speed is very fast. It can go back and forth in one night.
Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Yong decided to come to Jinling for a visit.
Really just take a look.
There are too many big guys here, and there are also many troops.
Except for one member of the 67th Army who has a relationship with him, Zhang Yong, the relationship between other units is average.
The senior commanders, neither Chen Cheng nor Dean Tang, had any contact with him.
Observe silently.
The whole shore is very busy.
There were a large number of ships evacuating people and transporting supplies.
It seems that many people have evacuated. In fact, they have not. Because the population of Jinling is too large.
A wooden boat can often only evacuate thirty or forty people. The speed is also slow. It is impossible to meet the needs.
Disaster……
"Find a place to dock."
"yes."
After a while, Zhang Yong came ashore.
Of course it's not at a regular dock. It's in a water meadow by the river.
As soon as you step down, it's all tidal flats and your feet are full of mud. But it doesn't matter. Just get used to it. It was like this during the war.
Let the speedboat wait at the same place. Zhang Yong walked quietly to the southwest.
To the southwest is the urban area of Jinling. There is a yellow dot nearby. There is also a military police checkpoint.
As he got closer, Zhang Yong suddenly discovered that it was Dong Ruiyang.
That underground party in the military police. I have dealt with them before.
After observing for a while, I felt that there was nothing unusual. So I walked over directly and appeared in the light.
When Dong Ruiyang saw him, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly. Then he hurriedly ran up.
stand at attention.
salute.
"Your Majesty Commissioner!"
The voice is loud and clear.
Be in high spirits.
Zhang Yong:……
This guy.
Why are you yelling so loudly?
I'm just passing by, don't let the whole world know...
Enter the village quietly and don't want to shoot anyone, do you understand?
Being too high-profile will kill people...
"Sir Commissioner, please go to the Presidential Palace immediately."
"I?"
"Yes. There is an order from the Attendant's Office. If you, the Commissioner, are found in Jinling, please go to the Presidential Palace immediately. I will escort you there now."
"It doesn't seem necessary..."
Zhang Yong hesitated to speak. Why did he go to the Presidential Palace?
I didn't even notify anyone else that I was coming to Jinling.
As a result, I was caught by you as soon as I landed, and I was taken to the Presidential Palace, which made me very nervous.
Is Chiang Kai-shek still in the presidential palace?
Haven't you already gone to Hankou?
"Commissioner, please wait a moment, I will ask someone to drive over immediately."
"Now?"
"Yes. There is an order from the Attendant's Office. Please rush to the Presidential Palace as soon as possible."
"All right."
Zhang Yong had no choice but to agree.
I feel that my private interview on WeChat was a failure.
Huh?
What kind of private visit on WeChat?
Who do you think you are? Are you still visiting me privately?
However, I am an inspector, and I can be considered a semi-imperial envoy. It seems that I can also use the term "private visit in private"...
Dong Ruiyang went to make a call. Zhang Yong had to wait.
Everything is fine all around.
Very quiet.
It doesn't look like it was bombed.
The buildings on both sides of the street are basically intact. There are no traces of explosions.
Maybe the Japanese invaders haven't bombed here yet?
I found water nearby. So I walked over and washed the mud off my feet.
After all, we were going into the Presidential Palace. It didn’t seem very polite to have our feet covered in mud.
But it doesn't matter if you are barefoot.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes...
have a bee in one's bonnet.
Suddenly, I found a prompt on the radar map, and there was a mark approaching me quickly.
After checking, I found out that it was Gu Bafeng. He was an old acquaintance.
Could it be that he came to greet me?
That’s not bad…
Sure enough, after a while, the car appeared.
It turned out to be a big truck with the sign of the Military Police Headquarters on it.
The big truck stopped thirty meters away. Gu Bafeng jumped out of the truck and hurried towards Zhang Yong.
Behind him, twenty military policemen got off the truck, fully armed and on guard with guns.
atmosphere……
wrong.
The bad guy came up immediately.
"Commissioner, you are finally here!" Director Gu almost cried.
Zhang Yong felt that the other party was exaggerating.
Really.
Do you want this?
You are a grown man, are you crying?
I found that the other party was really crying. Tears came out.
"this……"
Zhang Yong will never be punished.
No. There’s no need to be so affectionate, right?
We are both men. It seems like you are passionately devoted to me.
In case anyone misunderstands...
"Shaolong, if you come, Jinling will be saved."
"Too serious..."
"Really. We have been waiting for you to come. But you haven't come yet. I really can't believe it..."
"You used the wrong word."
"Anyway, I will escort you to the Presidential Palace immediately."
"What to do?"
"The appointment has been arranged. You will know when you go."
"Commission..."
"In Hankou."
"Oh. Got it."
Zhang Yong nodded. Chiang Kai-shek is not in the Presidential Palace!
That's okay. As long as Chiang Kai-shek and his wife are not around, he doesn't have to worry about anyone else.
Even He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Dean Tang...
The worst possible outcome is to fall out and become enemies from now on.
They are enemies now anyway.
"Then let's go!"
"good!"
Gu Bafeng made arrangements immediately.
Get in the car.
Sitting in the cab of a large truck.
"Many streets have been pockmarked by the bombing, making it difficult for cars to pass."
"knew."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Gu Bafeng gestured to the driver to drive.
The big truck started slowly.
Zhang Yong noticed that there were more heavily armed white dots approaching nearby. They were large military police trucks. There were more than twenty soldiers on each truck. There was a Czech light machine gun on the roof.
Fully armed.
Stand ready.
He remained silent and looked outside the car.
Gradually, a large number of ruins appeared in the field of vision.
They were all bombed by Japanese aircraft. Some entire streets were bombed beyond recognition.
There are indeed many potholes on the streets. A car may get stuck under the chassis at any time.
Only big trucks can waddle across.
There are many gendarmes along the way. They are responsible for maintaining order. There are also many police officers.
Judging from the bombed buildings, there should be a lot of casualties. Most of them were innocent people. They died violently.
Damn war...
What follows will only be more tragic.
silence.
I didn’t ask about the casualties because I didn’t want to know.
Shaky...
Saw the flickering lights.
The entire Jinling has implemented light control.
Most of the places are dark. Those with lights are special places.
We met many troops on the road.
The military uniforms are all different. Many of them are not direct descendants.
There are also a variety of weapons. I also saw old sleeves made in Hanyang.
The soldiers basically wore straw sandals, not even cloth shoes.
So miserable...
They are all troops who protect our country!
Such treatment...
Sad.
But it wasn't shown.
Finally, the big truck came to the outside of the presidential palace and parked.
Zhang Yong jumped out of the car and looked around. He found that the place was basically intact and had not been bombed by planes.
To be sure, this was intentional by the Japanese invaders. Otherwise, they would have been bombed long ago.
However, it’s hard to say whether it will be bombed next.
Such an obvious target might be bombed in turn and eventually become a white field.
There are a large number of anti-aircraft guns hidden around the presidential palace, including various 20mm rapid-fire cannons and 37mm anti-aircraft guns.
Huh?
37mm anti-aircraft gun?
Is it Bofors?
Check it out. It is indeed Bofors. There are seventeen gates in total.
There are about thirty other 20mm rapid-fire guns. In total, there are fifty anti-aircraft guns.
After all, it is the presidential palace, so it is necessary to concentrate so many anti-aircraft guns.
Of course, this is an outsider's view.
If it were Zhang Yong, he would feel it was a waste.
So many anti-aircraft guns should be deployed in the best anti-air shooting positions.
It is not used for the purpose of protecting the presidential palace.
It has no military value.
To put it bluntly, if it explodes, it will explode. It’s not a big problem.
The Presidential Palace no longer has those guards in Mao suits. There are only a large number of military police.
Zhang Yong silently checked the radar map.
I found that Liu Zhenzhen was inside. She was still staying at the Presidential Palace.
In addition, there are three yellow dots, but I don’t know their identities.
"Shaolong, currently, our military police are responsible for protecting the Presidential Palace. I am the main person in charge. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
"good."
"In addition, I have notified your old subordinates to come and join together. From now on, they will be responsible for the internal security of the presidential palace. I will be responsible for the external security."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
I am still very satisfied with Gu Bafeng’s deployment.
After all, the military police had never been Zhang Yong's territory. They were separated by one layer.
Although, he once served as deputy commander of the military police.
You still need your own people, especially those who know everything, so that you can sleep at night!
I found two yellow dots moving around. They were armed with guns. There were many blue dots around them. They were also armed with guns. Obviously, these were our own!
After a while, two yellow dots appeared in the field of vision. They were Huang Chu and Lin Nansheng.
The two of them seem to be team leaders?
Each took a dozen people with them.
Although there are not many people, it is enough.
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
Huang Chu and Lin Nansheng came forward.
stand at attention.
salute.
A little surprised and a little excited.
Obviously I didn't expect Zhang Yong to arrive so suddenly. It was still at night.
At the same time, I was secretly worried.
Zhang Yong arrived overnight. Is the situation in Jinling about to worsen?
It is always when the situation is most critical that the committee will call Commissioner Zhang back!
"Hello."
Zhang Yong raised his hand in return.
It’s so nice to see your own people!
Unexpectedly, they also started to increase their burdens.
good.
There is a future.
The future will be brighter.
"Your Majesty Commissioner!"
Liu Zhenzhen's voice came.
Zhang Yong turned around.
"Commissioner, please come in with me!"
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Wave and bring Huang Chu and Lin Nansheng in.
The current presidential palace is no longer the presidential palace before. Things have changed and people have changed. It has changed a long time ago.
The real owner has gone to Hankou to control it remotely.
What is Zhang Yong doing now?
Clean up your mess?
"please."
"good."
Enter the depths of the Presidential Palace.
I saw Director Lin's office and found that the building was empty.
"Where is Director Lin?"
"He has already gone to Hankou. From now on, you will be the owner of the presidential palace."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was stunned.
What you said as a woman scared me.
What does it mean that I am the owner of the presidential palace?
sweat……
Transgression.
Transgression.
"After the Commissioner left the Presidential Palace, Director Lin was the owner of the Presidential Palace. Now that Director Lin has also left the Presidential Palace, you, Inspector Zhang Yong, are the new owner of the Presidential Palace."
"I……"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
Liu Zhenzhen said with a serious face.
It seems that is indeed the case.
However, it seems that the definition of master can be narrowed down a bit...
I just came here to do some errands.
real.
I am a temporary worker.
Not compiled.
Still not getting paid.
Also paid to work.
Woo woo woo...
The more I think about it, the sadder it becomes...
"Sir Commissioner, your office is over here."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong felt strange.
No, eldest sister, I seem to have come to Jinling to understand the situation.
I just came to take a look, and then I was going back to Jiangyin Fortress. But, you actually want me to sit in an office here?
There's a war going on outside!
No. The whole of Jinling is in flames of war.
If you ask me to sit here in the office, how can I sit still? If I sit stupidly, I will only be bombed by the Japanese invaders.
Be silent.
Follow into the office.
Found it to be huge.
There are several tables with telephones on them.
It seems that there are several red telephones? They are all confidential lines. There is also one in Jiangyin Fortress, but there is only one.
I feel like I have become the president...
absurd.
That's ridiculous.
Arabian Nights.
"Wait!" Zhang Yong decided to ask clearly first, "What exactly are you going to do if you invite me here?"
"Inspection of Jinling's military affairs." Liu Zhenzhen answered clearly.
Then handed him a folder.
Zhang Yong did not answer.
"What?"
"The Entrustment Letter."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong reached out and took it.
Open it carefully.
The entrustment handwriting, the legendary highest order...
Du Yuming was sent to the Merit Forest by the envoy's handwriting. It is better to keep a respectful distance.
As a result, after just one glance, I immediately felt bad.
