[Read the full text] Some clues discovered later gradually made the facts more and more clear. Evaristo cooperated with the peripheral organizations of "Al Qaeda", and these bombs would be smuggled into Japan and reassembled for use in attacks on the United States. embassy and US military base. However, Okamoto Okamoto was not arrested, nor did he escape back to Brazil as the police expected. A year and a half later, the intelligence agency discovered that he was in a training camp in southern Lebanon, and he appeared sporadically in the following years. Palestine and Syria. The younger Okamoto's whereabouts were last known to Americans in 2007 in Iraq, when he narrowly escaped a U.S. raid on an underground weapons factory belonging to a Shia militia.
The heavy rain made a heavy crackling sound on the tents and bamboo hats, and the indigenous people who were recruited on the spot yelled and screamed to find shelter from the rain in the military camp. They had no right to enter the tents of the Spanish soldiers, so they had to A few banana tree leaves above their heads served as shelter, and they gathered under the tree. They were soaked by the heavy rain.
In addition to these poor people, there was also a man wearing a Chinese-style bamboo hat standing outside the tent. His whole body was tightly wrapped in a black monk's robe made of woolen wool. This was a rare sight in the mosquito-infested tropical jungle. It was a good protection measure, and in the rainy season, this rough woolen fabric could effectively drain water. Only when you got close to him could you see an Oriental face under the eaves of the bamboo hat that was deliberately kept low.
Evaristo Okamoto has become accustomed to being alone outdoors to calm down the excessive excitement in his heart. The various complicated religious rituals that his stepmother instilled in him since he was a child are very beneficial to pretending to be a fanatical believer, and even some traces of his childhood remain. The traces of faith also began to gradually occupy his mind in a twisted form. He escaped from Iraq, fled in a panic, boarded a smuggling ship, and later traveled through time and space like the Philadelphia Experiment. Everything was as unexpected as this sudden rain. .When the dying Okamoto was washed up on the beach of Dongsha Reef by waves, he miraculously survived. After more than two months of drinking rainwater, eating shellfish, and raw fish, a Portuguese ship headed to Malacca He was rescued by a merchant ship. He received two assets from his stepmother: the Catholic faith and the Portuguese language. After saving him, the terrorist Evaristo Okamoto, Hale, transformed into a member of the arms smuggling group, transformed again. So He became Paul Takayama, a Japanese Chechichidan who was persecuted and exiled for practicing Taoism.
Perhaps after that, God suddenly showed mercy and favored this fake believer. Paul Gaoshan was originally unknown in Manila until he became famous for making rockets to defeat the Acehnese army that once again besieged Malacca. When some Jesuits came out When he was jealous and publicly questioned his life experience, he followed the footsteps of his great clan kinsman Takayama Ukon to Manila, as he claimed. He had already achieved initial success in winning the trust of the Spanish colonial government and the church. .
When the army returns to Manila in two days, Paul Gaoshan's reputation will definitely reach a new level. This is an out-and-out victory and triumph. The colonial army marched from Lingayen, Agno Valley to Godi During the expedition to Mount Lila, they easily wiped out hundreds of Ilocos, turned the villages built by the fierce descendants of Chinese pirates into a white field, and occupied the fertile Baguio Valley. There were very few casualties in the battle. It’s surprising. The new cannons and rockets invented by Paul Gaoshan with all his wisdom should be the first to take credit. Although he will inevitably face the praises with praiseworthy humility, his achievements and name will definitely be reported to the Indian government again by the governor. The court was even reported to King Philip IV, and some said he might even be canonized as a noble.
A bride who is the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman is already waiting for him in Manila. But Hale is not interested in any of these╠╠What are these compared to the title of liberator of mankind? If not this can effectively consolidate his position in Manila's status gave him enough support from Manila officials, so he didn't bother to care.
As long as he can get enough support, Paul Takayama can organize an expeditionary force composed of Spanish and Japanese volunteers to liberate Japan from the ignorant and barbaric Tokugawa shogunate, just like Evaristo before time travel. ?Okamoto is committed to liberating Japan from the oppression of US imperialism. The difference is that back then, he could only hope to devote himself to his ideals; but in this time and space, he seems to have seen the laurels and rule of Japan's liberators The throne of the leader is beckoning to him.
The tropical rainstorm came and went quickly. The rain cleared and the sun shone on the wet ground. Paul Gaoshan suppressed his excitement and turned around and walked into the tent. He did not notice that a small dark cloud was gathering in the sky near the north. It was big and slowly drifted closer.
The villa near Lingaojiao Park theoretically belongs to the office, but it is occupied most frequently by the Foreign Intelligence Service. Jiangshan always arranges joint intelligence work meetings in Wu De's old residence. There are sentries guarding the walls of the villa. , can ensure safety and privacy. You can see the beach of Lingaojiao when you open the window. It is much more comfortable than the airtight secret room conference hall of the Political Security Bureau. Even if the blinds are closed to use the projection, the fresh sea breeze It still penetrated and dissipated the heat in the room.
"Let's look at this," the slide projector projected a photo of a triumphal celebration. The howitzer that Paul presided over and was said to have played a decisive role was placed on a float to participate in the parade. The distance was very close. It was probably Weiss Lando. The camera was hidden in the gap in the cloak and the camera was taken close up. Jiangshan was not very good at old-fashioned artillery. After searching in his mind, he felt that this cannon was very similar to the 90mm bronze mortar that he had seen in the Tokyo Yushukan in his early years. A hybrid of the cannon and the Dahlgren gun.
"Unfortunately, the legendary Paul Gaoshan did not appear in the celebration parade. It is said that he refused to attend on the grounds of physical health. His indifference to honor was praised throughout Manila." Xue Ziliang continued to report on his reconnaissance results in the Philippines, New photos were projected on the curtain.
"At least three new gun emplacements have been added to the Santiago Bastion. [,!] They are all equipped with 24-pound modified rifled guns using old bronze cannons." The photo was enlarged little by little, and the gun in his hand White vine whips circled the top, reminding participants to pay attention to some details: the pitching screw under the gun tail, the wooden-clad iron slide rail with rotating shafts laid on the fort floor, and the four-wheeled gun carriage clinging to the large triangular girders below. On the shelf.
"It's a bit like the CIA," Jiang Shan thought in his mind, "but sending field agents to infiltrate enemy camps to photograph the intelligence on the spot, and then use disguised commuter boats to send the photos back. It's slow, inefficient and unsafe. "His thoughts flew to the meeting room of the Foreign Affairs Bureau a few years later. Real-time reconnaissance images taken by satellites scrolled on the big screen. Aerial photos of drones were displayed in detail. The U-2, Blackbird and Blackbird belonging to the Foreign Intelligence Agency were displayed in detail. The Global Hawk constitutes the most efficient detection network in the world. We need to talk to Zhan Wuya in the future. The aviation industry should get started as soon as possible. Before the aircraft is built, try to get the remote-controlled aircraft model from the Ministry of Resources. The UAV unit can first Get started. Lin Hanlong also has to ask how aerial reconnaissance can be done without high-precision lenses and cameras...
"...The fortress engineering found on the coast of the northern edge of the Cavite Peninsula is completely different. There are no bastions. Four circular coastal forts are connected by communication trenches, and a shelter trench that can accommodate infantry extends from the outside. Please pay attention to the breastworks built here... …This fortress is right across the sea from the San Felipe Fortress on the peninsula to the south. If rifled guns with a long enough range are installed, they can effectively blockade the Gulf of Cavite."
When Jiang Shan realized that he was distracted, Xue Ziliang's report was coming to an end. Jiang Shan secretly regretted that indulging his own random thoughts had become a habit recently. It seemed that only in this way could he temporarily suppress the undercurrent of desire in his heart. He tried to straighten up. Leaning on the back of the chair, he forced himself to concentrate and listen.
"...Finally, there is the Fort of Saint Anthony on the south side of the Maratha Bay. The Spanish called it a fortress. In fact, it was originally just a wooden barracks with a simple small round fort. Recently they began to build a lot of construction here. From the ongoing Judging from the foundation work, this is a small-scale bastion. It may be equipped with fifteen to twenty cannons. The observation post set up by the intelligence station can completely monitor the progress of the fort project, and it is only two kilometers away..."
"In other words, that American gun dealer who is so rampant that he can't figure out who he is actually placed our intelligence station under the enemy's gun." Wang Ruixiang intervened and said, as the former Ministry of Maritime Power and the first weapons design team As a member of Operation Engine, he also participated in the field service of Operation Engine. He has always had a strong opinion on Operation Manila.
"There is no such threat at present," Xue Ziliang was a little annoyed when his speech was interrupted. "The new fortress gun mounts that have been discovered are all placed on semicircular tracks, and the direction of fire does not exceed 180°. The two forts under construction are only It can bombard the sea surface, but cannot point to the Maratha village and port in the northeast."
"Okay, that Japanese bastard has built so many genius turrets and gun mounts. What can he put on them? Rifle every Spanish cannon? If nothing else, put those messy cannons in every caliber. It needs to be equipped with enough new cannonballs, even a genius can be tortured to death."
"The Japs still have inflatable ammunition belts, which are good and advanced enough. They have the legacy of their ancestors' grenade launchers and their godfather's chemical mortars. But the ammunition belts are made of copper, and the price is ridiculous. It's on the ground, and it still needs precision machining. He's not afraid of dying from exhaustion, but the Spanish governor has to worry about being bankrupted."
