Seeing Sophia in the front hall of the east building, Yan Yan was also dazzled.
This girl originally had nine points of beauty, especially her figure was bulging forward and backward, a truly devilish figure.
Tonight, because he was wearing a royal blue palace evening dress and a palace blue hat with feathers and a veil on his head, it looked even more harmful to the country and the people.
Dozens of student soldiers who were training in the front hall of the east building looked straight at him.
A passionate young man at the age of 20, he really lacked the ability to resist a big horse like Sophia.
"What are you looking at? Get out of here!" Seeing this, Zhu Shengzhong could only stop tonight's training. It was past two o'clock in the morning, and it was almost time to rest.
Soon only Yan Yan and Sophia were left in the empty hall.
"I was attending a dance in the ballroom. I rushed over immediately after receiving the call. I didn't even have time to go back to the room to change clothes."
Sophia held up the hem of her evening gown and curtsied to Jun. Just this simple action made the European court lady feel instantly at ease.
This foreign girl is really good at it and uses her own advantages to the extreme.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yan Yan always feels that this girl is giving him a discharge.
But Yan Yan pretended not to notice, he really didn't have time to fall in love with women now.
Women all need companionship, especially Western women, otherwise their heads will turn into grasslands the next day.
"Miss Sophia, I know your goal is to win the crown of journalism, the 'Albert London Prize' and the 'Pulitzer Prize', and become a news queen, but this is undoubtedly a long and arduous journey."
"Who says it's not?" Sophia spread her hands and said, "Until now, I'm still just a little reporter."
Yan Jun said with a smile: "I can help you shorten this journey and become a world-famous reporter in a short time."
"Mr. Yan, thank you so much." A look of surprise appeared on Sophia's pretty face. She had no doubt that Yan had such ability, but this time she got it wrong.
Yan Yan did not want to provide her with news material this time, but wanted to directly help her become famous.
Yan Yan asked: "What do you think is the core competitiveness in order to become a top war reporter?"
"The core competitiveness?" Sophia said thoughtfully, "I think it should be timely and accurate reporting on the battle situation. In addition, it should be as objective as possible. The news should not be affected by personal emotions."
"No, this is far from enough. You should also make an accurate prediction of the battle situation."
"Prejudgment?" Sophia said in astonishment, "Isn't that the job of military observers? We reporters are only responsible for recording. It is not our job to analyze the battle situation and make predictions."
Yan Jun said: "This is indeed not a reporter's job, but it can give you extra points, and it can also help you stand out in the competition with your peers. An accurate and influential news prediction is enough to make you a success in a short time." Make your name known in the East, thus greatly shortening your journey to become the Queen of News.”
Sophia's heart skipped a beat: "So you want to give me your prediction of the battle situation?"
"To be more precise, I want to use your words to influence the entire war situation." Yan Yan said, "Because no one will care about what I personally say, but using your words can have a certain influence, no matter what I say about you They are both war correspondents from AFP stationed in Shanghai and special correspondents for The Miller Review."
Speaking of this, Yan Yan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But the current situation is such that it does not depend on his personal will.
Sophia nodded and said, "So what is your prediction?"
"Come." Yan Yan spread out a map of Songhu on the table.
Without showing off at all, Yan Yan got straight to the point: "Let me talk about my first prediction. I think the Japanese army will increase its troops for the fourth time, and this time the scale of the increase will be larger, at least four divisions! "
Sophia nodded and said, "Your judgment is the same as that of Major Lotov, the Soviet military attaché in China."
"Oh? Really?" He said with a serious smile, "Then Major Lotov is quite discerning."
Sophia couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, squinting her eyes and saying, "Mr. Yan, are you praising yourself?"
"It's just stating an objective fact." Yan Jun smiled and said, "As for my second prediction, the Japanese army's fourth batch of reinforcements will not be invested in the west of Shanghai, but will be detoured from the flanks. Based on the topography, climate and hydrology around Songhu, my conclusion is that the Japanese army will land at Jinshanwei within two to three days!"
"Oh my God!" Sophia's eyes widened. Even though she was just a war correspondent, not a military attaché in China or a military observer, she could still feel the shock of this severe prediction.
If the grim prediction comes true, the situation in Songhu will take a turn for the worse.
Hundreds of thousands of national army soldiers on the Songhu battlefield will face catastrophe.
…
In the early morning, before it got light, Chen Shunong hurriedly checked out of the room and prepared to leave the public concession and head to the west of Shanghai to report to Sun Yuanliang.
While buying breakfast on the roadside, a newsboy passed by carrying a newspaper bag.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers. Major Lotov, the Soviet military attaché in China, made an astonishing prediction. The Japanese army will send more troops to the Songhu battlefield for the fourth time in three days, and the weakly defended Jinshan Guard will become a breakthrough!"
Chen Shunong had just grabbed a bun and was about to stuff it into his mouth. When he heard these words, he immediately paused in the air.
Two seconds later, Chen Shunong woke up from his dream again and shouted: "Child, bring me a newspaper."
"Okay." The newsboy who had already run over quickly came back, took out a newspaper from the bag and handed it to Chen Shunong, and then took a dime from Chen Shunong's hand.
Chen Shunong didn't even bother to eat the steamed buns, he just spread out the newspaper.
This is a temporary special issue of Miller's Review. You can even smell the fragrance of ink. It is estimated that it will not take more than half an hour to be printed from the printing plant.
The headline on the front page was the article Chen Shunong wanted.
Major Lotov, the Soviet attaché in China, predicted the situation of the Songhu Battle - the fourth batch of Japanese reinforcements will land at Jinshan Guard within two to three days and cut off the retreat route of the National Army on the Songhu Battlefield from the flanks!
After reading only a few lines, Chen Shunong suddenly stood up.
Then he didn't even bother to eat the buns, so he stopped a rickshaw and left.
"Go to Nanshi, Songhu City Hall!" Chen Shunong said, "Hurry!"
"Sit tight." The rickshaw driver took the boat and took off.
…
No. 2121 North Sichuan Road, Japanese Navy Songhu Special Marine Corps Headquarters.
Operations Section Otake Shigeo quickly walked into Maeda Ritsu's office and paused and said: "Chief of Staff, the notice on the selection of special operations team members has been sent to each detachment. Marines who are interested in joining the special operations team will be sent within two days. Come to the headquarters one after another to take the assessment. This is just the content of the assessment. I wonder what your requirements are?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I am personally responsible for this assessment." Ritsu Maeda waved his hand.
"Hai!" Otake Shigeo paused and was about to turn around and leave when he saw Shimomura Masasuke walking in with a dark face holding a newspaper. He quickly put his feet back and stood at attention, saluting, "Your Excellency, Commander!"
Masasuke Shimomura ignored Otake Shigeo and walked straight into the office and said to Ritsu Maeda: "Maeda-kun, something happened!"
From Shimomura Masasuke's expression, Maeda Ritsu knew that this matter was not a big deal, but when he saw the newspaper handed over by Shimomura Masasuke, he was still shocked. Was this a leak?
"Your Excellency, Commander, this news must be forwarded to the Central China Front Army Headquarters immediately!"
"We don't need to worry about this. Mr. Okamoto has immediately forwarded the news to the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and the Central China Front Army Headquarters. The mission of our Special Marine Corps is to cooperate with the intelligence department to investigate the truth of the matter. After all, this is just the Soviet Union stationed in China. Is it the prediction of Military Attaché Lotov, or is it a man-made serious leak?"
Ritsu Maeda asked with a heavy expression: "What do we need to do?"
"Launch a feint attack on the Sihang Warehouse." Masasuke Shimomura said in a deep voice, "Make sure Lotov leaves the room at the Chinachem Hotel, and then intelligence personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can sneak into his room for verification."
"I understand." Maeda Ritsu said, "I'll go to the Bank of Communications warehouse right now."
