Intelligence warfare has been extremely dangerous since ancient times. Once a spy is exposed, he will end up with a narrow escape. Not only within the enemy's sphere of influence, even in his own territory, the identity that should not be exposed cannot be exposed!
At this moment, even though every ship on the Bay of Biscay is made up of Chinese brothers, it seems safe for them to reveal their identities!
But who can guarantee that there is no detailed work by other forces? Even if the probability is one in ten thousand, I don’t dare to gamble!
And once the identity is exposed, the spy's previous behavior will also be exposed! God knows what missions he has performed before?
God knows if there are enemy forces tracking and hunting this person?
Putting life and death aside, the CIA controlled by Director Wang is a place with strict rules. Who dares to reveal his or her identity without orders?
The CIA also has strict rules when dealing with its subordinates, and those who deserve to be shot will never be tolerated!
The request made by the captain today is really too much. He himself knows that this proposal is too dangerous, but the situation is like this and he has no other choice!
The captain knelt down on one knee and begged, "Brother! The lives of our crew are not important. This ship of arms is too important! We must send it back safely..."
Seeing the captain's attitude, the first mate, second mate, helmsman, lookout... every officer and soldier on the ship knelt down!
"Brother... the survival of the Chinese people is at stake, the British Great White Fleet has set off... we must fight, we cannot afford to lose!"
"Brothers, please!"
Groups of officers and soldiers were half-kneeling on the deck. In the end, only one person was left standing, looking at the sky with tears in his eyes. He did not speak but everyone knew that he had acquiesced!
The captain and others looked at the last person standing in shock, "Ah! Shopkeeper Qian? You...it's actually you..."
No one thought that the clerk on board the ship, the old man who usually kept accounts for everyone, was actually a CIA spy, and he was a very high-level spy who could contact the Indochina Intelligence Network!
This guy is buried too deep. He is usually very stingy with money. Three spiced peanuts can buy two taels of old wine. He refuses to lend money to anyone else. He is very stingy!
This guy didn't save money to buy a house or land, but spent all his money on women!
At any port or dock he visited, no matter which country it was in, this guy could find the best place for fireworks, and the remaining money was given to women.
Stingy, greedy for money, lustful, timid, he doesn't know how to fight and can only keep accounts and write some paperwork! He was considered the most popular person on the ship, so everyone called him Treasurer Qian!
Just such a person, but he stood up today. He was actually a secret agent of the CIA, the highest-ranking person on the entire ship!
"Brothers... don't kneel down... If you kneel down... I won't be able to save my life!"
Shopkeeper Qian wiped his eyes and pulled the brothers up one by one, "Let's do it! First take risks in the depths of the Indian Ocean, and then go straight north at night!"
"I can contact Old A in Indochina. To be honest with you, the head of state of Indochina now sends General Liu Lang as Old A..."
"As long as we can connect with General Liu Lang, we will be safe..."
"Old Qian... you are not in any danger, are you?" the captain asked, holding his hand.
"Hey... why are you still talking about this? The country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. If our Chinese nation dies, we will be nothing more than a lost dog even if we are alive!"
"It's better to be shot by Wang Ju than to be killed by European devils... Let's go quickly!"
No one dared to ask any more. People felt different when they looked at Lao Qian now. Maybe all the shortcomings he showed before were just to deceive others.
Even though he always goes to the land of fireworks, people now suspect that he goes to connect hidden wires!
Their ship often took European routes, and Lao Qian alone made more than ten trips there and back. During these ten voyages, they transported a lot of important supplies and completed many secret missions!
It is impossible for Lao Qian to go to Europe more than ten times without missions. His level is high enough to contact Lao A in Indochina, which means that he has also been responsible for many top-secret missions in Europe!
Once his identity is exposed, Europe will most likely focus on hunting him down, and he will be in danger for the rest of his life!
But when the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact. If the Chinese clan collapses, no one will be able to survive, and there won’t be so much concern for personal safety!
For the next three days, the Bay of Biscay kept sailing near the equator of the Indian Ocean, not daring to go in a straight line but zigzagging back and forth!
At the end of the 19th century, no waterway was developed here. The golden waterway was near the 10th parallel of north latitude, so it was relatively safe.
Three days later, in the middle of a dark and windy night, the Bay of Biscay quickly headed north at 90 degrees and sailed directly towards the Bay of Bengal.
At around two o'clock in the middle of the night, the Bay of Biscay, with all the lights on the ship extinguished, crossed the golden channel area without any danger!
It seemed that it was truly blessed by the heroic spirits on board the Holy Ship. This time, we did not encounter a single warship when passing through the Golden Channel. Only the faint lights of two merchant ships flickered in the distance.
But the two merchant ships whose nationality was unknown did not find this ghost in the Indian Ocean!
"Coming over... heading northeast... sailing along the Andaman Islands... crossing the Ten Degree Strait and entering the waters close to Thailand..."
"Damn it, we're only 60% successful after getting here..."
The clipper ship was heading toward the northeast at full speed. As a result, something unexpected happened to them. After approaching the waters near Savage Island, in the evening, a long smoke ribbon suddenly appeared on the sea surface in the northeast direction.
The smoke belt was approaching quickly, and everyone became nervous!
"There is a steamship...the smoke is gray...it is burning fine white coal...it must be a warship! How could a merchant ship be willing to burn such fine coal?"
"Is it British or French? This place is close to the Bangladesh area controlled by France... Could it be that the French sent warships here?"
"No way! There is no intelligence showing that France has sent such advanced warships overseas? Could it be the UK..."
"Fuck... I still haven't escaped after all... Damn it... we want to rush northwest... If you push me too hard, I'll take you to Savage Mountain!"
What Shopkeeper Qian said was naturally a joke. Did this ship of arms ever want to go to Savage Mountain? Crossing the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is difficult!
But just as the clipper ship was trying to escape, the gradually silent sun brought the sea into darkness. The unknown warship coming from the east suddenly sent a string of light signals!
Shopkeeper Qian rubbed his eyes, and then the lookout shouted from the highest point of the mast, "Oh... the secret code... is our secret code!"
"It's our friendly forces identification code... Oh my God! Is it our ship? Call back quickly to confirm the identity..."
In the era without radio, communication on the sea was troublesome, especially at night. When ships from both sides approached, it was difficult to identify them!
Warships from various countries have their own secret identification codes. Other forces cannot understand them. Only people from their own country can understand them!
The distant warship sent an identification code. If the Bay of Biscay did not reply within half an hour, or the reply was wrong!
Then just wait for the artillery bombardment!
