Under the order of Principal Chang, the Military Command Headquarters issued a rescue order to the Shanghai Station, which made Li Yunsheng very irritable and had to obey.
After arranging personnel to investigate, Li Yunsheng also hoped in his heart that the headquarters' information was wrong and that this difficult task would not fall into the hands of the Shanghai Station.
It's not that Li Yunsheng is afraid of difficulties, but that this task makes him very annoying, so he is reluctant to accept it.
On the other side, Li Yunsheng's mission target was quickly sailing toward Shanghai among a group of warships on the sea.
Inside the warship, there were more than a dozen US military officers detained, but their treatment was slightly better.
These dozen U.S. military officers were headed by Wright and Donald, because they were lieutenant generals before they were captured, and the rest were not as high-ranking as the two of them.
Compared with the pessimistic Wright, Donald was still concerned about the war situation outside. However, after he was captured, he was used as a coolie by the Japanese army and lost all news about the outside world.
After a brief exchange with Wright, Donald lay on the bed to rest again, thinking about what conspiracy the Japanese had and why they wanted to transfer them from the prisoner of war camp.
As a U.S. Army Lieutenant General, Donald was a very shrewd man. When he stepped onto the Japanese warship, he felt something was wrong.
Especially the attitude of the Japanese towards these prisoners of war made Donald even more surprised. After all, the Japanese had always used them as beasts. When had they ever been treated so well?
It’s no wonder that Donald thinks too much, but it’s the Japanese style that has changed so drastically that he can’t accept it.
The treatment of these dozen American prisoners of war on the warship was quite good. Compared with the life in the previous prisoner of war camps, it was even more different.
Therefore, Donald, who came from an ordinary background, immediately noticed that the situation had changed, and then discussed it with his companion Wright.
But Wright looked so disheartened that Donald gave up his plan to communicate with him now and thought about the current situation alone.
After two years of being captured, Donald knew the character of the Japanese very well and knew that these captured American officers were not looked down upon by the Japanese at all.
Now that the Japanese have suddenly changed their attitude, Donald feels that the war situation outside has definitely undergone tremendous changes.
After all, if the stingy Japanese gain an advantage in the war situation, they, the captured officers, will have no role.
Only when the war situation is unfavorable will the captured American officers be of some use.
Thinking of these situations, Donald had some guesses in his mind.
After a few minutes, Donald looked at Wright next to him again and said in a very solemn tone: "Wright, the Japanese have changed their ways. I guess the war situation outside has changed."
"What a transformation!"
Wright, who was lying on the other bed, responded somewhat drowsily.
Although Wright was also a lieutenant general and came from a noble family, his mental endurance was obviously much worse than that of Donald, who came from an ordinary family. Therefore, all his mental strength had been worn away during his two years of being captured.
This is also a common problem among people of noble birth, that is, once they encounter setbacks, they will easily become discouraged and start to give up on themselves.
That's what Wright is like now. Because he can't accept the life of a prisoner of war, he is disheartened and doesn't care about anything.
"The situation of the war is very likely to change. Only in this way will the Japanese change their attitude towards us."
Donald immediately expressed his thoughts, and his mind was constantly thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
"Even if the situation changes, so what happens to us? Will the Japanese let us go?"
Wright still couldn't cheer up, and his tone was a little pessimistic. After all, a captured American officer had already had a stain on his life. Even if he returned to the United States, his military career would come to an end.
"We people still have some value. I think the Japanese will definitely use us to bargain or ask for something, and then they will change their attitude.
If I’m not wrong, it won’t be long before senior Japanese military officers come to see us and even ask us to do something!”
Donald continued to analyze the situation at hand without any reservation, because he hoped that Wright could analyze it with him.
After all, Wright was also a lieutenant general before he was captured, and he was by no means a mindless person.
And they, the captured American officers, are now grasshoppers on a rope and must work together to deal with the current situation.
"You mean, the Japanese will use us?"
After listening to Donald's analysis, Wright finally had some changes and became more energetic.
After all, if the Japanese let them do things, their situation will change again, and it may even affect their future destiny.
Because if you agree to the Japanese, it is very likely to harm the interests of the United States. But if you don't agree, you may end up in a prisoner of war camp again, and you may also suffer a more tragic fate.
Donald was very happy to see that Wright had cheered up. After all, when thinking alone, there would always be something unexpected, so he needed the help of his companions.
"Yes, so we should think carefully and see what the situation is on the Japanese side and what do they want us to do?"
"Japan is an island country, and compared with the powerful United States, it is not inferior at all, so I think that they can no longer sustain the war that has lasted for two years and plan to surrender to the United States. This time they will think of us.
"
Wright was not an idiot and had a noble background. When he raised his spirits, he immediately thought of the gap between the two countries, so he made this analysis.
"Then the Japanese are using it to intimidate the government to improve our situation and use our lives to negotiate terms!"
This is the only thing Donald can think of. After all, they, the prisoners of war, only have one life left.
"Perhaps more than that, these Japanese monkeys may even ask us to write letters to our family and friends in China to promote peace talks between the two countries as soon as possible!"
Wright, who was born into a noble family, is a little better than Donald in intrigues.
After all, children born into wealthy families are exposed to intrigues and intrigues from an early age.
What's more, Wright was of noble birth and knew his own value better. Once he wrote letters to his relatives and friends in China, it would be of great use to help the Japanese speak out.
After listening to Wright's analysis, Donald also guessed the Japanese's plan and couldn't help but ask: "Then what are we going to do?"
"We don't understand the situation outside. If the Japanese really ask us to do something, we can't agree to it."
Wright immediately expressed his opinion. After all, they had no idea about the situation in the outside world. If they said something they shouldn't say, it would be detrimental to their future situation.
Moreover, both of them could think that since the war was not good for the Japanese, the other party might not do anything to them if they rejected certain Japanese demands.
"It's best to inform others about this situation to prevent them from doing something wrong."
Donald agreed with Wright's opinion, but he was a little worried that other captured officers would not know the inside story and make wrong choices.
"It's natural!"
Wright had no objection. After all, all the captured officers were grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could escape.
The two people who had made up their minds immediately looked at each other and then left the cabin, intending to tell other companions about their previous analysis...
