"I have a question, I hope you can answer it for me."
Meng Shaoyuan stared at Lieutenant Pukes: "From your words, I seem to hear that you don't think much of your escape. Why?"
"The Japanese are not fools. Although Uemura is cruel and cruel, he is not a fool." Lieutenant Pukesi quickly replied: "In the direction of the gate of the prisoner of war camp, the Japanese army removed some guards.
They did this because the defense line constructed by light and heavy machine guns at the gate of the prisoner of war camp was fully capable of dealing with threats from the front. And where did these replaced guards go?
Also, just over half a month ago, I heard the sound of armored vehicles moving, which seemed to be heading towards our flanks and rear. Can I boldly assume that Tsukasa Uemura has made preparations in advance?
Moreover, more importantly, even if my worries were unnecessary and we had successfully escaped from prison, we still had to escape from Cabatuna. How could more than 700 prisoners of war be able to escape without being discovered by the Japanese?
Unless those Japanese are blind and deaf, our escape will never be successful. "
This person's mind is very clear and his judgment is very accurate.
Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "Since you have discovered so many problems, why don't you talk to Colonel Sander about them?"
"I'm just a lieutenant. I'm a low-key person in the officer corps. Very few people can listen to me."
Having said this, Lieutenant Caps was silent for a moment, and then sighed deeply: "And, that is, despair!"
despair!
Meng Shaoyuan understood in an instant.
These more than 700 prisoners of war were detained here for three years.
Although Colonel Sander was taking care of them, there was really a limit to what he could do.
Prisoners of war would watch their comrades being tortured and killed every day.
Deep in their hearts, they are full of fear. They don't know whether they will encounter the same experience as their companions tomorrow.
Therefore, once they have a jailbreak plan, it becomes their biggest hope and dream!
It's like a drowning person who touches a feather. Even though he knows clearly that the feather cannot save his life, he will still hold on tightly and refuse to let go.
These more than 700 American prisoners of war were 700 drowned people.
Only Lieutenant Capes had the clearest mind. He knew that a feather could not save their lives.
It may even hasten their death!
But, as he said himself, no one wanted to believe him.
"Despair can easily make people do crazy things. People who keep their heads above water at that time become aliens."
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Lieutenant, after the war is over, if you are still alive, what are you going to do? Will you continue to wear this military uniform?"
"No, I'm tired of being a soldier." Lieutenant Caps said in a daze: "If Rosa, ah, that is my fiancée, she is not married yet, and she is still waiting for me, I will marry Rosa Together, in Florida, we start our lives again.
I will give birth to seven children, and each child will commemorate the one hundred brothers who shared the joys and sorrows, life and death in the prisoner of war camp. "
"I also have some industries in the United States." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Maybe you can join me and we can be a businessman.
I have money, and I'm interested in your mind. Maybe you can become a very qualified businessman. "
"Really?" Lieutenant Pukes also showed a smile on his face: "My salary requirements are very high."
"It's reciprocal." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If you can provide me with what I need, then you will get what you need."
"Sir, I am willing to work with you." Lieutenant Caps put away his smile and said seriously: "I don't know your true identity, but I believe every word you say.
From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. My life is in your hands. "
Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "January 30th."
Lieutenant Caps was startled, then reacted: "Is it time for rescue?"
"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan's expression also became serious: "That was the time for our rescue. Even Colonel Sander, I didn't tell him this.
Lieutenant, will you accept my command from now on? "
"I do." Lieutenant Capers hesitated for almost a second.
"Then, you are the American spy I need to find." Meng Shaoyuan no longer hesitated: "I will take you out of the prison camp, but you need to do something for me.
Moreover, I must tell you that in this process, we absolutely cannot avoid Uemura Tsukasa. He has long been a bloodthirsty beast, and I don’t know what crazy things he will do. Maybe you won't live to see victory. "
"Thank you very much for telling me this, sir." Lieutenant Caps replied calmly: "I said that if I do things for you, I will ask for a high reward, and you graciously agreed.
In this case, then I should take risks for my salary, even if I lose my life as a result. "
"Very good, Lieutenant." Meng Shaoyuan said approvingly: "Then, there is still a little matter that needs to be resolved."
"What?"
Lieutenant Capers asked and soon knew what it was.
Meng Shaoyuan punched him in the face.
Suddenly, a large bruise appeared at the corner of Lieutenant Capes' eye.
Lieutenant Caps covered his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Sir, do you really not consider becoming a boxer after the war?"
"idiot!"
But Meng Shaoyuan suddenly changed his color, took out his pistol, and shouted in Japanese: "You damn spy!"
Together with Xie Changcheng, he pushed Lieutenant Caps out.
Outside, Colonel Sander and the prisoners of war officer corps had been waiting there for a long time.
When they saw the beaten Lieutenant Capes and the scars at the corners of his eyes, anger showed on everyone's face.
Colonel Sander had no idea why "David" did what he did.
But he knew that the other party always had a reason for doing so.
He took a step forward: "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Damn spy, damn it!" Meng Shaoyuan switched to English to ensure that everyone could hear: "Now, I order you to get out of the way!"
Colonel Sander stopped his subordinates who were about to move: "Sir, you can take the captain away, but you must ensure his safety."
"You dirty Americans!" Meng Shaoyuan said angrily: "I won't negotiate any deal with you, no!"
These Americans watched helplessly as Lieutenant Capps was taken away.
"What to do, Colonel?" Major Street said anxiously. "Capes will be tortured to death."
"I don't know, I don't know," murmured Colonel Sander; "let us pray!"
