To be honest, from Fang Lang's perspective, this certification document was too rough, and it was impossible to judge its authenticity. It is very easy for the Japanese to obtain such a document.
Seeing the two people looking at him nervously, Fang Lang said directly in Portuguese:
"Catch them all."
The two of them obviously didn't understand Portuguese, but the Brazilian soldiers all spoke Portuguese, so they had to wait for the two of them to react. He was arrested by a group of soldiers.
The two of them were so frightened that they shouted:
"Sir, is there any misunderstanding? We are allied forces! Is there any misunderstanding?"
Unfortunately, Fang Lang ignored them and directly ordered the boatswain:
"Find a room, strip them naked, and inspect them carefully. Focus on checking whether their underwear is Japanese crotch cloth, and whether there are any traces of wearing clogs on their feet.
There were also whether there were any wounds on their bodies and whether there were any signs of torture. Vice Captain Reina, please contact the Okinawa base and ask them to verify the identities of the two people with the National Government. "
Reina immediately accepted the order and left, but the boatswain said slightly awkwardly:
"Sir, what are these loincloths and clogs you are talking about!"
Fang Lang knew that Brazilians didn't have much contact with Japanese people, so it was normal not to know this. So he explained it to him in detail and told him what kind of traces it would leave. Only then did the boatswain suddenly realize the order. Leave.
Looking at the wooden fishing boats gradually moving away on the sea in the distance, Fang Lang couldn't help but start to figure out, which group did these people belong to?
If they are really controlled by the military, then what is their purpose of coming here? If they are not military commanders, then who are they? If they are Japanese, what is their purpose?
Soon, the boatswain came over to report the inspection results to Fang Lang.
"Sir, the characteristics you mentioned are not found on the two of them, and there are no signs of torture. The older one had two stab wounds on his body, but they were not fatal. They looked like they were caused by a street fight.
The young man had a penetrating wound on his right chest, and he was lucky to survive. However, I feel that the two of them look a bit strange. They are both older in appearance, but their bodies do not look that old. "
After hearing this, Fang Lang smiled. This was obviously a disguise! Unexpectedly, this kind of technology already exists now. I couldn't help but look forward to it.
"That's because they put on makeup. Ask them to take off their disguise. I will talk to them again after we confirm their identities with the Okinawa base."
"Yes, sir!"
At about noon, Fang Lang received a notification from the Okinawa base confirming the identity information of the two people.
When Fang Lang saw the two of them again, they had changed drastically. The elder Zhong Ze's actual age is at most thirty-six or seventeen years old, while the translator next to him is less than thirty.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Fang Lang nodded, pointed to the seat in front of him, and said calmly:
"You two, your identity has just been confirmed with your country. I hope you don't mind the unreasonable behavior just now."
The two looked at the handsome young man sitting opposite them, somewhat unsure of each other's identity.
Zhong Ze was the first to speak:
"It's okay, it's okay, this is a necessary review process and we understand it."
Fang Lang had no intention of apologizing. It wasn't that Fang Lang wasn't excited when he saw the two compatriots. It is more conducive to communication between the two parties to maintain a certain distance before understanding the other party's purpose.
"Then please tell me! What is the purpose of risking your lives here?"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze hesitated and said:
"Sir, I wonder if I can explain your identities."
Now that the identity of the other party was confirmed, Fang Lang certainly would not hide his identity from the other party and said directly:
"We are the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy of the Allied Powers. I am Colonel Fang Lang of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. I am under the command of the U.S. Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet and have come to perform the task of blocking Japan's transportation lines."
Zhong Ze obviously relaxed now, and an unnatural fake smile began to appear on his face, which made Fang Lang look very awkward.
"Hello, sir, since it is an Allied army, then we are all allies. Thank you very much to the Allied forces for traveling thousands of miles to help us kill the little Japanese."
Seeing that the other party wanted to continue to be polite, Fang Lang interrupted rudely:
"Okay, your smile is fake, you better put it away! We are all allies, and we are compatriots, so there is no need to deliberately please. Just tell me what the purpose of your coming here is!"
To be honest, Fang Lang hated people who deliberately tried to please foreign devils when they saw them. You are so flattering to your own father, why do you feel that you are shorter than the foreign devils?
Zhong Ze was stunned, obviously not expecting Fang Lang to be so direct, and said with some uncertainty:
"Sir, did you just say that we are compatriots?"
"Can't you tell it's so obvious? As a major intelligence officer in the military command, you only have this level of ability. Didn't you listen carefully when I said my name just now? Or is the person next to you Major Zhong Ze?"
Fang Lang's words stunned both of them. After looking at each other, the young man who had been very calm and silent finally said:
"Colonel Fang, you have such a sharp eye!"
After speaking, one stood at attention and saluted:
"Hello, sir, I am Major Intelligence Officer Zhong Ze of Shanghai Juntong Station."
The man who kept saying he was Zhong Ze also stood up a little embarrassed and said:
"Hello, sir, I am Qiu Yuyi, intelligence officer of Shanghai Station."
Fang Langhun said nonchalantly:
"Okay, I don't care about this. I just want to know the purpose of the two of you finding us."
The real Zhong Ze didn't talk nonsense and said directly:
"We want to cooperate with your army. We will provide you with the departure time and route of the Japanese cargo ship, so that you can attack directly."
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. Someone would give him a pillow if he wanted to fall asleep! After thinking about it, he felt a little strange and said:
"If you can get the time when the Japanese cargo ship leaves the port, you can report it directly to the Allies! There is no need to find us directly! Besides, I have been looking nearby for several days and I can't even see what a transport ship is. Condition."
"Colonel Fang, this is exactly what I want to say. Since the Allied forces occupied Okinawa, the Japanese have detained all cargo ships in Shanghai, allowing them to enter but not leaving.
We found that the Japanese are in very difficult circumstances and are very short of fuel. They have concentrated the fuel of all ships on more than 20 ships. It seems that they are preparing to ensure the supply of fuel to these ships.
Moreover, we found that the Japanese garrison in Shanghai were collecting strategic materials everywhere, including bristles, rubber, tung oil, ores, and even kerosene used by ordinary people.
Among them, there are also various precious historical relics and gold and silver collected from China. We judge that they want to form a fleet and set off at the same time, and may even be escorted by several warships.
As for why we contact you directly instead of reporting to headquarters, the reason is simple. This time the Japanese took very strict precautions, and even the porters were Japanese expatriates.
We had no chance to get close, let alone get an accurate departure time. Now we can only monitor the movement of warships from a distance in the harbor, worrying that if they suddenly leave us and report to the headquarters, it will not be urgent to arrange a fleet interception. "
Fang Lang thought to himself, no wonder he couldn't even touch a hair for so many days. It turned out that the Japanese had this idea. It seems that it is necessary for me to invite a few ships for a hunt!
The Japanese want to transport back the things they robbed from China and use them to defend Japan. Isn’t this a fucking dream?
"Can you find a way to determine the specific time of their departure? I will find a way to coordinate the interception fleet and ensure that they are all sent to the bottom of the sea and will never be transported back to Japan."
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Zhong Ze shook his head and said with a frustrated look:
"We are now trying our best to figure out the departure time of the Japanese. But they have put the entire port under surveillance. Our people cannot get in at all, and those who have entered cannot get out."
"Don't they want to eat or drink? With so many ships setting off together, they must collect enough food and drinking water! If they can't get in, have you analyzed the supplies purchased from them?"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze couldn't help but glance at Fang Langgao. This kind of thinking is the working thinking of intelligence personnel! I didn't expect that Colonel Fang in front of me would have such awareness.
"We have been doing this for a long time, but in the past half month they have been maintaining an equal-volume procurement measure. Based on our data analysis of them, we feel that their current material procurement is enough for them. They are needed for the voyage. However, they still remain silent."
