Chapter 1422: Redeeming people? Isn’t it too fast?
accelerate.
dive.
Pass by the parachute.
Zhang Yong wanted to see the other party clearly, even though he had already marked him.
There is no doubt that those who dare to go out alone at night are experts. And they should have a certain status.
He may not have a high military rank, but his influence should be pretty good.
To put it bluntly, he was the ace pilot of the Japanese Army Air Force.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for its superiors to allow it to come out at night.
Such a guy must be caught alive.
So, just shoot from the air and cut the parachute.
pass by.
Go around to the front of the Japanese pilot.
I can see clearly. His appearance is nothing special. He is a veteran.
Veteran means around thirty years old. It is the age when physical strength, mental strength, and technique are optimal.
It's a pity that I don't know the other party. I don't know the other party's details.
"Takaya Horikawa..."
"Takaya Horikawa..."
Suddenly, a disembodied voice came to my ears.
I was stunned for a moment. Then I realized. Is this telepathy? The name of the Japanese pilot was detected?
Not only does it have audio, it even has a Chinese translation, ensuring that there is no mistake.
Very good. Very good. Got work to do.
It's been a long time since the coded telegraph was invented. Just send one.
It would be too troublesome to encrypt telegrams. It would be easier to just invent the code.
Pull up.
Lay flat.
Then start sending telegrams.
First adjust the frequency to 95.27 MHz. This is his Zhang Yong dedicated channel.
Take out the code book and invent the code directly.
Just seven words——
Takashi Horikawa also went skydiving.
Done.
He is only responsible for posting and not responsible for the reactions of all parties.
Check the fuel table. Let's return.
At this time, there is no point in going anywhere else.
If you go to the Japanese invaders' airport, you may alert the Japanese invaders, causing the Japanese invaders to step up their defenses.
"Owl, return!"
"receive."
"Adjust all headings to 275, altitude to 2200, and speed to 300."
"receive."
Soon, the team was completed and returned leisurely.
Tonight's attack was just a small episode. There was no emotion in my heart.
but……
"Didi!"
"Didi!"
Suddenly, there was a call from the radio station.
So I answered the call and found that the other party was also calling in the clear.
Record the numbers casually. Then compare them with the code book and translate them into Chinese characters. The content is——
Is it really Takaya Horikawa? He is very powerful. Was he shot down by you?
No signature. I don’t know who sent it.
I guess this person must have some knowledge of Japanese aviation.
"Didi!"
"Didi!"
The radio station called again.
Continue to answer. Record the numbers.
Translated into Chinese characters——
You must capture it alive. Don't let it escape. It is very valuable.
Still no signature.
It is inferred that it is a continuation of the previous telegram.
It seems that this person is his ally. Unfortunately, his identity is unknown.
Moreover, this person should also have a certain understanding of himself. The last sentence was directed at Zhang Yong.
It's very valuable. Only he, Zhang Yong, will use it. He wants money to death.
Captured alive?
It’s a bit difficult!
Mainly because he can't land on the ground.
If you can land on the ground, the opponent will definitely not be able to escape.
Fortunately, I marked it myself, but if it didn't work, I continued to fly out and search until I caught it.
By the way, searching by plane seems to be faster.
But it requires ground cooperation.
Deploy the fourth air marshal regiment?
Or order the 100 troops stationed in Anqing to dispatch?
Later I thought about it and forgot about it.
The other party is just a pilot. There is no need.
What about the ace pilot of the Japanese invaders? They are also worthless. Unless the Japanese invaders are willing to pay to redeem them.
In fact, it seems there isn't.
Several Japanese pilots have been captured alive before, but there was no response from the Japanese invaders.
Whatever.
Return to Hankou Airport smoothly.
Landed safely.
A staff member has been waiting for a long time.
"Commissioner, the commander invites you to go to his office."
"good."
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
Commander Qian hasn’t slept yet? Are you planning to stay up late?
He doesn't seem to have the habit of staying up late.
Is there something important?
"Report."
"Come in."
Zhang Yong pushed the door open and went in.
It was discovered that Commander Qian was indeed drowsy.
Seeing him come in, I cheered up and handed him a piece of information.
"See for yourself."
"good."
Zhang Yong took the information.
I found out that it was actually about Horikawa Takaya.
Huh?
So powerful?
Actually even the national army has information about him?
By the way, if it's the other way around, it wouldn't be strange at all. It's normal.
The Japanese invaders collected very detailed information on the Chinese army. Almost all commanders above the regimental level of the regular Chinese army had detailed information.
Especially Huangpu students, everyone has a separate file.
Those Huangpu units, especially the German armorers, have more detailed information.
However, the national army knew very little about the situation of the Japanese invaders. Unless the enemy was very famous.
Therefore, this Horikawa Takaya is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Is he valuable?"
Zhang Yong speaks out.
What other values are there, too lazy to ask. He only cares about money.
If the Japanese invaders were willing to use money to redeem him, Zhang Yong might consider other methods.
Capture them and send them to Chongqing or Hankou. They will be paraded through the streets every day and let the people visit for free.
"Report!"
A counselor came in.
Zhang Yong put the information back.
"What's up?"
"Sir Commissioner, there is an outside line calling for you."
"External call? Who?"
"I claim to be here to send you money..."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.
Send me money?
Who?
That must be answered.
Now, what he likes to hear most is money.
I have no choice, I am really poor.
Money is needed for everything. Any less will not do.
Recently, my brain has gotten hotter, and I have taken over the business of the aircraft manufacturer. This is another huge expense.
"Get it over here."
"yes."
The counselor goes out.
Soon, the call was transferred.
Zhang Yong picked up the microphone.
"Hello……"
"Zhang Sang."
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Familiar means that we have interacted with someone many times before. Strange means that we have not dealt with someone for a long time.
who?
Another father-in-law.
Akiyama heavy sunflower.
Consul General of the Japanese invaders in Shanghai.
To be honest, Zhang Yong still misses each other a little bit.
His daughter is so beautiful!
As beautiful as Su Youxi.
I don’t know where Su Youxi is now, but Akiyama Kwaiko should always be in Shanghai.
Hey, when will I return to Shanghai as a wanderer from Wakayama?
If there is a chance, kidnap Akiyama Aoiko first...
"It turns out to be Consul General Akiyama!"
"It's me."
"You are looking for me in the middle of the night, do you miss me?"
"Return Horikawa Takaya to us. You decide the price. As soon as possible."
"But we haven't caught it yet!"
"Say the price."
"Are you so anxious? Couldn't it be a relative of the emperor?"
Zhang Yong was suspicious.
It's really too fast.
It’s only been an hour since Takaya Horikawa was shot down!
Maybe at this moment, Horikawa Takaya landed in the barren mountains and hasn't figured out the specific location yet!
As a result, the Japanese invaders called to redeem the people.
He also went to Zhang Yong directly.
Why does it feel a bit magical? Is this war?
It seems so.
War allowed for the exchange of prisoners.
Or redeem the captives with money or other means.
"You make a price."
Akiyama Shigekui did not answer.
In fact, he didn't know who Horikawa Takaya was.
He is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is not that familiar with the situation in the military department.
I vaguely knew that the other party was a great person. But I didn't expect that the military would be so anxious.
Zhang Yong's clear telegram was an afterthought by Akiyama Chongkui.
Because there were very few clear telegrams from Zhang Yong during this period, no one was specially arranged to monitor them.
As a result, it was almost early in the morning and something like this actually happened.
The military department asked him to come forward immediately to redeem the man.
At any cost.
The money is all ready.
Akiyama Shigekui had no choice but to get up and work overtime.
"A pilot..."
"The Japanese invaders are so anxious..."
Zhang Yong developed full associations in his mind.
I almost didn't think that the other person might be Hirohito's younger brother.
It is estimated that only members of the royal family would make the Japanese military headquarters so nervous and recruit people immediately.
But the information was not written.
It is estimated that these secrets are definitely unknown to outsiders.
"You make a price."
Akiyama Shigekui repeatedly emphasized.
If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to lure them away.
The other party may not be willing to accept the money and release the person.
However, it is possible for Zhang Yong.
As long as the money is available, there is nothing Zhang Yong dare not do.
If he doesn't agree, it means he doesn't have enough money. He needs more money. Just try your best to add more money.
Zhang Yong's reputation for taking money to do things was even known to the military.
Otherwise, they would not ask for redemption immediately. They would just be worried that the night would be long and the dreams would be too late. If things are too late, things will change.
"I……"
Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment.
I really want the lion to open his mouth and ask for a sky-high price.
What if the other party is really a relative of the Japanese invaders? You can make a lot of money.
But in the end he held back.
I am a person with a good reputation! I cannot increase the price without authorization.
In the past, the price of a Japanese spy was 100,000 yuan. Now, the price of catching a Japanese pilot is probably the same.
The water flows slowly.
Small profits but quick turnover.
Or you can substitute someone.
But the Japanese invaders did not mention substitution.
That is to say, no Chinese pilots were captured alive by the Japanese invaders.
Air battles basically take place over areas controlled by the national army. Even if you are shot down, you will be rescued by your own people.
Defensive counterattack has such advantages.
But in the future, if there is an opportunity to take the initiative, it will be hard to say.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
"Old rules. One hundred thousand oceans." Zhang Yong replied bitterly.
Very unhappy.
I felt like I was at a big loss.
The other party may be a very valuable treasure.
but……
For the sake of reputation, I had to endure it.
The reputation you have finally built up cannot be destroyed easily.
Without such a reputation, the Japanese military headquarters would not dare to do this.
"make a deal."
Akiyama Shigekui hurriedly finalized the decision.
I was afraid that Zhang Yong would regret it.
One hundred thousand oceans, totally worth it!
This Zhang Yong really has a reputation. Rules are rules.
It seems that I also need to prepare a sum of money.
What if it falls into Zhang Yong's hands...
Huh?
What are you thinking about?
Now that the Japanese Empire has occupied all of Shanghai, how could it still fall into Zhang Yong's hands?
Bah bah bah!
Bah bah bah!
Absolutely impossible.
Nothing so unlucky...
"make a deal."
Zhang Yong responded lazily.
I still feel like I'm at a huge disadvantage.
Feeling unwilling.
"If he is caught a second time, the price won't be like this!"
"Understood. Understood."
"The second time you are arrested, the amount is 200,000. The third time you are arrested, the amount is 300,000. And so on."
"Understood. Understood."
"snort!"
"By the way, did you catch a few others over there?"
"There are four. One of them is seriously injured. Our medical conditions are insufficient. We may not be able to treat him..."
"Put it back. Put it back. Put it back together."
"Give me money."
"One hundred thousand oceans per person. No problem. Five hundred thousand oceans in total."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong feels like he has suffered a loss again?
Akiyama Shigekui actually agreed so readily and ransomed the other four Japanese prisoners?
It feels like the other party is playing a big game of chess...
Think about it.
I had no idea what the Japanese invaders were going to do.
However, as long as I get one hundred thousand yuan, I don't care what the Japanese invaders want to do.
Once you get the money, let it go.
The aircraft manufacturer already has the money. Five hundred thousand yuan is just enough for the initial investment. We will figure out another way later.
"When will the payment be due?"
"immediately."
"What?"
"I will immediately arrange for someone to deliver the banknote to Hankou Airport."
"good……"
Zhang Yong frowned.
Did the Japanese invaders move so quickly?
He hurriedly gave money before he was caught. Do you trust me, Zhang Yong, so much?
OK.
Get the money first and then talk.
"After you find the person, take them to Hankou Airport, and then we will send a plane over to bring them back."
"good."
Zhang Yong said there was no problem.
As long as he is here, the Japanese invaders will not be able to pull off any conspiracy.
Sending a plane to take people back is indeed the fastest. It is also the easiest to keep a secret.
As long as you receive the money yourself, you can still provide certain convenience to the other party.
"Also, no more coded telegraphs are allowed to be invented."
"Add money."
"you……"
"Ten thousand oceans."
"You have to keep it a secret."
"certainly."
"make a deal."
Akiyama Shigekui is not entangled.
Zhang Yong must agree! Otherwise, everything you say will be in vain.
The biggest threat to the Chinese Air Force right now is Zhang Yong. But the most difficult one to deal with is Zhang Yong.
In front of this guy, the Japanese Empire has paid a very heavy price. But it has never been able to hurt this guy even a hair.
Fortunately, this guy's weakness is also well known. He is greedy for money and lust.
Sure enough, as long as you are willing to spend money, things will be easy to handle.
But if you're not willing to pay, you're screwed.
"Wait for you."
"immediately."
Zhang Yong put down the microphone.
He turned to look at Commander Qian.
Commander Qian heard the conversation just now.
There is nothing to hide. He, Zhang Yong, just wants money. Everyone in the committee knows about it.
"You can do it yourself! Take the money and let them go."
"Do you want to..."
"No need to report it. Handle it yourself. You are also asking for money everywhere now. Even if the commission knows about it, he will acquiesce."
"good."
"Money is really needed everywhere now! It would be great if you could capture a few more Japanese prisoners."
"If it is an ordinary captive, it may not have such a price."
Zhang Yong shook his head.
And belatedly realized.
Understand why the other four Japanese pilots were also ransomed.
It was purely to prevent Horikawa Takashi from appearing so abrupt.
If only Takaya Horikawa was redeemed at a high price and no others were redeemed, it would definitely not be justified. Other Japanese pilots would also be disappointed.
Redeeming them all would be a much better idea and no one would object.
Moreover, since such a precedent has been set, it is estimated that the Japanese invaders will also have to follow this action in the future.
Otherwise, these pilots were redeemed. If there are pilots who are captured but refuse to be redeemed in the future, there will definitely be another disturbance.
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
This is true no matter which country or nation.
Wait patiently.
Half an hour later, the radar map showed that someone was approaching the airport gate.
Then, the airport security called.
"Your Excellency, Reporting Commissioner, someone is looking for you at the door. They say they are bringing you something."
"Tell him to wait for me at the door."
"yes."
Zhang Yong came to the door.
I found out that it was actually a postman.
Not a spy.
He doesn't seem to be a traitor either.
There is a large travel bag on the back of the bicycle.
"you……"
"Mr. Commissioner..."
The postman seemed nervous.
It turned out that he was picked up in the middle of the night.
The other party ordered him to immediately send the travel bag to Hankou Airport and give it to Zhang Yong.
Otherwise, the other party will kill his whole family.
The postman did not dare to neglect and hurriedly delivered the travel bag.
He didn't know exactly what was in the travel bag, and he didn't dare to check it.
It feels swollen. It seems like it is filled with paper, books or something.
Zhang Yong silently observed his surroundings and found nothing unusual.
He was probably a hidden traitor. He was worried that he would be exposed, so he sent it via postman.
It seems that this traitor is also quite cunning.
Open travel bag
There were all banknotes inside, stuffed to the brim.
There is Citibank. There is HSBC.
It seems that Akiyama Shigekui is also very familiar with her preferences. All the things she sends are good things.
"Okay. You can go."
"OK."
The postman was relieved and hurriedly turned around and left.
Zhang Yong put away the banknotes.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Gather all the captured Japanese pilots to Hankou Airport."
"yes."
"Inform everyone near Anqing that there is a Japanese pilot who parachuted to escape. Try to capture him alive. There will be rewards for catching him alive."
"yes."
After giving instructions, Zhang Yong himself was tired.
So I came back to sleep.
Shen Ming is on duty tonight. No one is here.
Qiao Qingzi was here, so I took advantage of my happiness to have a real exchange with her.
Although Qiao Qingzi looks cold on the outside, she is actually very warm inside. She can let go in front of him, which is called comfort.
