Nine hundred and twentieth chapters the best of both worlds
The Japanese Navy Vice Admiral made a request to the captured American officers, which was to let the captured American officers write letters to the country to promote peace negotiations between the United States and Japan.
But the American officer was not stupid. In order to make life easier in the future, he was naturally unwilling to agree, so he decided to reject this request.
At this time, the leading American officer, Wright, suddenly brought up the topic of whether the U.S. government would send agents to rescue them.
As soon as this topic was brought up, all the captured American officers fell silent and began to think about this possibility.
"I think it's possible?"
The first person to speak was Donald. This person was very shrewd and had thought of the current situation, so he thought it was possible.
After a pause, he explained again: "We are in the hands of the Japanese and are a burden to the government, but our national conditions determine that the government cannot give up on us.
In this way, the government will have scruples during negotiations, so sending people to rescue us becomes a solution that has the best of both worlds."
As soon as Donald finished speaking, the other captured American officers also agreed and expressed their opinions.
These people have confidence in the U.S. government and know that they will not be given up, but the current situation makes them a little worried.
Because the warship is about to leave for Shanghai, it will be too difficult for the US government agents to rescue them.
"What do we do now?"
An American officer asked involuntarily, looking very irritable.
"No matter how the government people try to rescue us, or whether they can succeed, we have no choice.
The only thing I can do is to expose our location and let more people know our whereabouts."
Donald immediately spoke and made this suggestion. After all, they, a group of prisoners, could not do anything at all.
"Yes, Donald is right!"
Wright quickly agreed, and then said mockingly: "In our current situation, we probably can only do these things!"
Next, the captured American officers began to discuss countermeasures and what to do after getting off the ship...
The warship sailed at sea for a day, and it was not until noon the next day that it slowly sailed into the Huangpu Pier in Shanghai.
During this period, the Japanese Navy Vice Admiral met with the captured American officers more than once, hoping that they could write letters to the country to promote peace negotiations between the United States and Japan as soon as possible.
But the American officers who had made up their minds would naturally not agree and found some excuses to decline the matter.
Although the Japanese Navy Vice Admiral was annoyed, the current war situation was not good for Japan, so these captured American officers had value, and he did not dare to do anything.
When the warship was about to arrive at the Shanghai pier, the Japanese Navy Vice Admiral stopped trying to persuade him and planned to let professionals do the persuasion after he landed ashore.
After all, professionals had various means to persuade the captured American officers, but he had no choice.
As soon as the warship docked, the Japanese Navy Vice Admiral left first, while the captured American officers walked off the deck step by step under the escort of the Japanese Marine Corps.
These captured American officers walked very slowly and exchanged words from time to time, as if they were not prisoners but guests visiting Shanghai.
The behavior of these American prisoners made the Japanese navy who escorted them very angry, but they did not dare to do anything.
After all, Japanese Vice Admiral Gao had ordered to treat these American prisoners well before leaving, so the naval soldiers naturally did not dare to mess around.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers did not stop them, the captured American officers became more confident. Not only did they speak loudly, but they also took off their hats from time to time and did something to attract attention.
In particular, Wright, a cunning man, went to great lengths to sing loudly, which made the Japanese soldiers escorting them look extremely ugly.
However, there were already prepared cars on the pier, so in a short time, these captured American officers were unloaded into the cars and then left the pier.
The Japanese naval officer in charge breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the prisoners gone, feeling quite relaxed.
This is also because the Japanese Navy Vice Admiral issued a death order, and these captured American officers were not allowed to be beaten, scolded or corporally punished, and they had to be cared for as distinguished guests.
That's why the Japanese officer in charge felt aggrieved but did not dare to do anything.
However, the Japanese officer in charge, because he focused all his attention on the captured American officers, did not see a man dressed as a coolie staring at them on the dock...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Bing received the news from the intelligence agent and came to Li Yunsheng to report the situation: "Stationmaster, our people sent news that around 12 o'clock today, more than a dozen Americans were arrested.
Taken to Shanghai."
The intelligence network of the military commander is very powerful, and they are always looking for Americans and information about prisoners, so they can naturally get the news on the dock.
What's more, the dozen or so captured American officers made some noise on the dock, which would attract the attention of the military commanders.
After hearing the news, Li Yunsheng frowned and asked helplessly: "Can you confirm their identities?"
Li Yunsheng was unwilling to accept this mission, so he secretly hoped that the American prisoners on the dock would not be the target of this mission, so that the Shanghai Station could avoid this trouble.
However, to Li Yunsheng's disappointment, his plan failed, and he only heard Xu Bing's serious reply: "Although the identities of these American prisoners have not been confirmed, the Japanese have a very good attitude towards these prisoners.
Even when they stepped off the warship, the prisoners not only communicated casually, but some even sang loudly.
The Japanese marines who escorted them did not have any restraints and were very laissez-faire about the behavior of these prisoners."
"well!"
After hearing Xu Bing's answer, Li Yunsheng sighed, feeling disappointed in his heart.
The Japanese have a barbaric character and their attitude towards prisoners is like pigs and dogs.
The prisoners who could be treated differently or even indulged by the Japanese must have some status.
Therefore, these circumstances made Li Yunsheng think that these American prisoners were likely to be the mission targets.
Although Li Yunsheng was a little disappointed, Xu Bing continued: "By the way, our people noticed that these prisoners are quite young..."
After saying this, Xu Bing stopped talking because she knew that Li Yunsheng could understand what she meant.
"It seems that these American prisoners are very likely to be the targets of our mission."
Li Yunsheng's tone was a little cold, because the news conveyed meant that there was a 90% chance that the prisoners who arrived in Shanghai this time were the mission targets of the Military Command Bureau.
But such an arduous task was the kind that Li Yunsheng hated. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept it, so he was very depressed.
"Stationmaster, these American prisoners made a lot of noise on the dock. I think other intelligence agents may also get this news."
Xu Bing knew that Li Yunsheng hated this task from the bottom of his heart, but this task was personally assigned by Principal Chang, so Shanghai Station couldn't help but not take it seriously, so he gave a reminder.
"What a big trouble!"
Li Yunsheng complained, and then began to think about what he should do to complete the task...
