"Your Excellency, I surrender, please spare my life."
Just when Lu Feng had finished executing all the Japanese soldiers in the passage, even the corpses were being shot one by one, and was about to go to the bridge command room to fire the signal flare.
A Japanese soldier waving a white flag suddenly walked out of the cabin below and knelt down in front of Lu Feng.
The man in front of me looked quite young, maybe forty or fifty years old.
The words he spoke were still in Chinese.
Lu Feng didn't attack him directly because the submachine gun in his hand had just run out of bullets.
Lu Feng casually threw down a gun without bullets and began to change the magazine of another gun, asking:
"Why should I accept your surrender?"
"Click"
The gun is loaded.
"I know what you need, I can take you there."
Lu Feng stopped pulling the trigger. He looked at the old man in front of him and asked in slight surprise:
"You know what I want?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The old man looked at Lu Feng's gun with a horrified face, not daring to relax at all, for fear that Lu Feng would suddenly pull the trigger again.
"Take me to see it."
"Hi, okay."
Under Lu Feng's gaze, the old man stood up tremblingly, and then led Lu Feng from the outer deck to the stern of the ship.
"The stuff is in here."
The old man pointed to a locked hatch.
"Where's the key?"
"I don't have the key. Only the captain has the key."
"So you don't know what's inside?"
"Yes."
The old man answered simply.
Lu Feng looked at the old man curiously and asked:
"Then how do you know why I came?"
"I have served on this warship for nearly ten years, and I know every part of her very well, so when we set off, I noticed something was wrong when I was carrying those ammunition boxes onto the ship.
Although I don't know what's inside, I feel that these are the only things on our warship that can attract your attention, Lord "Ghost". "
"May I have your name?"
"Tōsho Hyōtaro, just call me Hyōtaro."
Hyoutaro Tosho's attitude is extremely humble. Different from other enthusiastic young people and recruits, he has served in the Navy for nearly fifteen years, but he is still only the person in charge of the engine room. He is already a complete veteran. .
Therefore, when the accident happened, he did not follow Tetsuya Shimazu's order, take drugs and rush to the stern of the ship to fight like others.
Instead, he hid in the corner and watched the situation develop.
Then, he saw Lu Feng's terrifying fighting power, and immediately thought that this must be the "ghost" that appeared in Dongya Tongwen Academy.
Facing a scene like Abi Hell, even the battle-hardened Hyoutaro Tosho was trembling with fear.
After some consideration, Hyoutaro Tosho chose to surrender voluntarily.
Hōtaro Hōtōsho, who has lived at sea all year round, knows better than anyone else that on such an isolated warship, he has no way out.
What's more, he is still facing the legendary "ghosts". Even if he finds a place to hide, who can be sure that the other party will not find him?
After all, the Yayoi is only so big.
As a country with a popular culture of ghosts and gods, in Japanese folklore, in addition to the depictions of various terrifying ghosts and gods.
There are also various stories about making deals with ghosts and gods, and even playing tricks on ghosts and gods by relying on cleverness.
Especially after hearing Lu Feng reciting poems, Hyoutaro Tomasa became a little excited. He thought that with his proficiency in Chinese, he might be able to reach some deals with this "ghost".
Lu Feng looked past Hyoutaro Tosho and looked at the iron lock on the hatch.
He didn't say to go to the bridge command room and look for keys or something from Major Morishita's body. Instead, he just found a wrench and casually broke the door lock.
Open the hatch and there is a downward ramp.
"Inside is the ammunition bay."
Hyoutaro Tomasa quickly explained.
Lu Feng walked straight down, and Hyoutaro Tomasa quickly followed behind.
After descending below the waterline, Lu Feng saw an empty cabin. A large number of yellow-green ammunition boxes were neatly stacked inside, and they were reinforced with ropes to prevent them from shaking due to the bumps of the ship.
Lu Feng used a wrench to pry open one of the ammunition boxes and saw the gold inside at a glance.
Hyoutaro Tomasa didn't lie to himself, the thing was indeed here.
Reflecting on myself, I spent more time looking for it.
Behind him, Hyoutaro Tosho also caught a glimpse of the golden color in the box, and his eyes instantly became extremely shocked.
He originally thought that these boxes contained only some goods smuggled by the commander of the salt field. Such acts of pretending to be public and private were common in the navies of almost all countries.
But he didn't expect that these boxes were filled with gold!
Hyoutaro Tomasa looked at the more than two hundred boxes neatly stacked in the ammunition compartment, and after a simple calculation in his heart, he came up with a number that made him tremble all over.
Then, he looked at Lu Feng with some understanding in his eyes.
Sure enough, do even "ghosts and gods" love gold?
Not only Hyoutaro Tosho, but even Lu Feng was shocked in his heart after roughly calculating the amount of this batch of gold.
The two knives were in Japanese, so Lu Feng only roughly knew that the unit of measurement for this batch of gold was "tons."
But he didn't know there were as many as thirteen tons.
What is the concept of thirteen tons of gold?
Many countries today have begun to gradually use the gold standard financial system. Taking the American knife as an example, one gram of gold is equal to one dollar.
At present, the ratio of ocean and yen to US dollars is about 2.5:1. If it is a black market, 3:1 is even less.
Thirteen tons of gold, that's 13 million U.S. dollars and 32.5 million yen.
This money is enough for Japan to build a battleship or cruiser at the current main level.
If it were a light destroyer like the "Yayo" at Lu Feng's feet, more than ten of them could be built.
It is a commonplace to say that Japan is an island country with scarce resources. Many of its industrial raw materials, such as iron ore, coal mines, and oil, need to be imported or plundered from China.
The thing used as payment for imports is gold.
If this amount of gold is used to purchase raw materials internationally and coupled with Japan's industrial productivity, then what can be produced is more than just a main battleship.
And it's very likely that it's an entire fleet.
Lu Feng looked at the boxes filled with gold in front of him, as if he was seeing a fleet of the Japanese Imperial Navy in the future.
But now, before it even had time to appear in history, it was sunk here by itself in advance.
"Hoo~"
Lu Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
For this "Yayyoi", he endured and hid it for a long time, and even had to start living a troublesome life of holding grudges.
Fortunately, in the end, the rewards it gave me were so generous.
All patience is valuable.
After calming down his emotions, Lu Feng said to Houtaro Tosho:
"follow me."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Lu Feng led Hyoutaro Tosho all the way to the bridge command room. After standing at a high place, Lu Feng asked Hyoutaro Tosho on the deck:
"West, which direction is it?"
After looking at the moon and stars above his head, Hyoutaro Tosho pointed in one direction and said:
"There."
Lu Feng nodded, took out his flare gun and fired a flare at that side.
At the same time, the radio station began to contact the Red Party.
Not long after, a signal came from the other side, and the signal flare fired by Lu Feng was seen.
But just to be on the safe side, Lu Feng still fired a flare into the sky every two minutes.
About five minutes later, Lu Feng saw a light appear on the dark sea in the distance.
The person who responded to him is here.
After confirming that the Red Party had found its position, Lu Feng got off the mast.
He looked at Hyoutaro Tosho who had been standing silently beside him, and calmly opened the safety of the gun in front of him.
Lu Feng never wanted to let go of Hyoutaro Tosho, or in other words, he never wanted to let anyone on this ship go.
After Dongya Tongwen Academy, various forces in the concession vigorously improved their armed defenses, which made Lu Feng realize that these enemies were not the stupid NPCs in the game, who would just walk towards death.
When faced with various situations, they will summarize the situation and then make various responses in a targeted manner.
Therefore, every action you take must be as hidden as possible and leave no clues.
In this way, it becomes more and more difficult for the enemy to guess his true strength and possible weaknesses.
What's more, this Tosho Hyoutaro saw his own face.
"Why? Lord Ghost, I have contributed what you need, can't you spare me, an old man like me?"
Hyoutaro Tosho knelt on the ground, praying for Lu Feng to spare his life. He did not dare to resist because he knew that resistance would be useless in the face of this "ghost".
"You said you have served on this ship for ten years, right?"
"Yes."
"So, you also participated in the war a few years ago, right?"
"this."
Hyoutaro Tosho knew what Lu Feng was talking about. During the "December 28th Incident", Hyoutaro Tosho was indeed a participant in the war.
"Lord Ghost, I'm just a worker who burns boilers. What does the war have to do with me?"
Hyoutaro Tosho still wanted to make a quibble.
"boom"
There was a gunshot, and Hyoutaro Tomasa was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground.
"It was a bullet that killed you, what does that have to do with me?"
There are still 2 more chapters to be updated due to rewards.
Ah wow wow wow wow wow
