Ma Xiaoguang was secretly happy after hearing the task assigned by Honda Eiji!
This time I was so sleepy that I actually arranged to go to the Marine Corps headquarters.
You must know that Ma Xiaoguang, MISS Liu (Wu Qiuyi), Lao Li and Fatty visited that place several times, but never had the chance to go in.
Fortunately, this time, I actually gave myself such an opportunity, so why not take advantage of it?
Without much hesitation, Ma Xiaoguang left the "Hongda" grocery store and headed to North Sichuan Road.
Before going there, Ma Xiaoguang found a public phone booth that was still working and made a call to Albert Road...
North Sichuan Road.
Neon Nation Marine Corps Command.
Ma Xiaoguang has been here more than once before.
The Neon Marine Corps headquarters building is not in the Neon people gathering area, it is an extended stronghold in the Chinese border.
It is the tallest building in Hongkou District.
The Neon Army had a watchtower on the roof of the building and installed multiple artillery pieces to control the surrounding traffic arteries from above.
The entire battlefield situation can be clearly seen at a glance, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There are barricades all around the Marine Corps Headquarters Building, and there are signs of gunfire and artillery explosions in many places in and around the building.
However, apart from some damage to the facade, this building still stands there, like a ferocious monster.
Ma Xiaoguang feels that this place is both familiar and strange now.
"I am a reporter from Asahi Shimbun, Han Yuliang..."
Ma Xiaoguang showed his ID to the guarding sergeant.
The sergeant carefully checked the documents and called the Asahi Shimbun for confirmation before letting Ma Xiaoguang in.
Ma Xiaoguang was not just walking around casually. A Marine was guiding him.
Entering the building, Ma Xiaoguang carefully observed the situation of the entire building.
This is a fortress-like building with an overall "kou" shape.
Surrounded by barracks and warehouses, there is a playground of more than 2,000 square meters in the middle, which can accommodate more than 2,000 soldiers gathering on standby, and armored vehicles can also drive in and out.
At this time, there were two Navy Type 93 armored vehicles in the yard.
I was quickly taken to the third floor, where the journalism class was.
The person who received Ma Xiaoguang was Koji Tahara, the head of the journalism department, a navy lieutenant who seemed to be quite gentle.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hanyu! This time we are in view of the fierce fighting and urgent need to boost morale and inspire the people, so we allow reporters to interview. Many places here are military restricted areas, and you need our people to guide you before you can enter..."
"We will arrange a liaison officer for you, please go to your office to rest first!"
Tahara Koji spoke very politely and did not have the arrogance of ordinary neon officers. This was probably because he was engaged in journalism and had been dealing with the outside world for a long time.
Ma Xiaoguang was inexplicably taken to a small office with a window facing the atrium of the building. The orderly helped him prepare hot water, introduced the office facilities and left.
Ma Xiaoguang did not panic. He stood by the window and watched every move on the playground in the atrium.
This is a rare opportunity to observe the Neon Marines up close.
I have to say that the equipment and individual quality of the Neon Marine Corps are indeed good.
Very different from the Army, the Marine Corps is equipped with much more automatic weapons, such as submachine guns, which is more suitable for urban street fighting like the Battle of Songhu.
But there are not many armored troops, mainly light armored vehicles and motorcycles.
But compared to the national army, this kind of equipment is much better!
And the firepower density is basically equivalent to the firepower of a brigade.
Therefore, more than 3,000 regular soldiers and more than 4,000 expatriate volunteers were able to block the attack of the two elite German weapon divisions of the national army.
While I was looking out the window, there was a gentle knock on the office door.
Opening the door, a thirty-year-old Marine Corps officer with the rank of lieutenant came in.
"I am Nakano Kazuki from the Marine Corps Intelligence Division..."
The officer introduced himself with an indifferent expression.
"I'm a reporter..."
Ma Xiaoguang said quickly.
"Mr. Han Yuliang, I know that you are an intelligence agent of the 'Intelligence Joint Reconnaissance Station', and I am your liaison officer for this mission..."
Nakano Kazuki still said with an indifferent expression.
Ma Xiaoguang coughed lightly and asked: "Ahem... So Nakano-kun, what exactly is our mission this time?"
"There are Chinese spies within the Navy, and our plan was leaked... This information actually came from the Army..."
"The chiefs of the Naval Intelligence Department are very angry... There are currently insufficient manpower, and the internal investigation is not authoritative... In short, the situation is very complicated, and many people know our situation."
"So, this time, for the first time, in accordance with the "Army-Navy Operation Agreement" and the suggestion of General Okawauchi Denqi, a joint investigation team was established, and the two of us are team members..."
Nakano Kazuki said with a reluctant tone.
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and said: "Oh... I understand, what should we do next?"
Nakano Kazuki said: "You are now publicly identified as a reporter. Of course you are going for an interview. The Marine Corps Command has been notified. I will lead you throughout the interview and screen whether there are any suspicious persons in the relevant departments..."
"Understood, I will follow Mr. Nakano's arrangements."
Seeing that the words were not congenial, Ma Xiaoguang said in the same indifferent tone, but his stomach was full of question marks.
Neon's navy and army did not deal with it at all. In order to fight against China this time, they even signed an "agreement". This can be regarded as a strange and showy operation.
But I don’t know why it is rare to have intelligence cooperation?
This is unprecedented.
Moreover, the "Joint Intelligence Reconnaissance Station" had so many old spies that they didn't need, so they actually sent a new one of their own.
Ma Xiaoguang felt that if there was nothing fishy in this, then it would be a ghost!
Nakano Kazuki kept his constipated expression and said to Ma Xiaoguang: "Okay, let's start working now. Let's go see the staff first..."
Ma Xiaoguang naturally had no objections and followed Nakano Kazuki out of the office in an orderly manner and came to the staff office on the fourth floor.
This is a huge office.
People were constantly coming and going, making it a busy scene.
The office is filled with the "tick-tock" of telegraphs, the "ding-ding" of telephone bells, and the clatter of footsteps...
"Are we going to work here?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked Nakano Kazuki intentionally.
Sure enough, Nakano Kazuki was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and a look of contempt flashed unnoticeably in his eyes.
"No, of course not. This will interfere with everyone's work. We are just here to take a look. Aren't you a reporter? This is news material for you... Follow me to the conference room."
Nakano Kazuki said calmly.
Following Nakano Kazuki to a small conference room not far away, Ma Xiaoguang saw a captain officer and two Marines already in the room.
There is also a thick stack of folders on the conference table.
