Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 815 Winning over

Zhang Yunhe said after hearing this: "Sir, I will obey your orders, but I am sure you also know that I have spent a lot of money to support this merchant group. The military expenses every month are a huge expense. Now we have to go to war again. Without the funds for the expedition, the soldiers will lose their morale..."

Governor Yang immediately waved his hand and said, "Zhang, money is not a problem. How about this? I will allocate 100,000 pounds to you as departure expenses. The Governor's Office will cover 60% of the future military expenses, and you can handle the rest yourself. What do you think?"

Zhang Yunhe smiled and extended his hand to Governor Yang. "Your Excellency, it's settled! However, I have one unwelcome request. I hope the Merchant Corps can share intelligence from the Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency!"

This condition caused Governor Yang to show obvious hesitation on his face. He said, "Commander Zhang, this may be a bit difficult. The Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency is actually under the London headquarters. I don't have direct command over them. They can report intelligence to me, that's it."

Zhang Yunhe said, "Sir, they are on your territory, so they should still listen to you. I don't need to share all the intelligence from this intelligence agency. I only need all the intelligence content of radio monitoring and decryption. I will send two people over there to learn radio technology from them and act as intelligence couriers. They will report to me at any time the information intercepted and decrypted by the radio!"

"Well... okay, I'll communicate with them!" Governor Yang reluctantly agreed.

He walked to the table in the corner, picked up the phone and made a call. After communicating with the person on the other end of the line for a few minutes, he finally got the matter done.

"Commander Zhang, I've already discussed this with Commander Modpi. He agrees that you can send two people to the Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency to deliver intelligence, but they can't do anything unrelated!"

Zhang Yunhe immediately agreed: "Of course, I just want information about the devils, I'm not interested in anything else!"

After leaving the Governor's Mansion and getting in the car, Zhang Yunhe said to the driver, "Let's go to the boundary river and take a look!"

"Yes, boss!"

When Zhang Yunhe and others arrived at a defensive position on the south bank of the Jie River, Tian Tao had already sent a battalion of troops to garrison there. Tian Tao himself and the commander of the first regiment were also there.

Zhang Yunhe looked at the fortifications the soldiers were building and was quite dissatisfied. He said to Tian Tao, "This trench is not built well. If it is in a straight line, the Japanese planes will swoop down and strafing, and everyone in the trench will be killed. The trenches need to be built in a winding and irregular shape to make full use of the terrain!"

"Also, this trench is too shallow. It needs to be at least one man deep, with dedicated firing positions for people to stand and fire from! Furthermore, we need to build anti-artillery holes. The ones you've dug here are not good enough; they're too small and too fragile. They need to be sturdy enough to withstand heavy artillery fire. Any supplies you need should be shipped here immediately. Don't skimp!"

"You may not have seen real trench warfare. Westerners are very experienced in this area. The trenches they dig are generally more than two meters deep. After the trenches are dug, they are reinforced with planks and stakes to prevent them from being flattened by a single artillery shell!"

"Yes!" Tian Tao agreed immediately.

Under the supervision of Zhang Yunhe, the soldiers spent two days building a defensive position that was as solid as a rock and could at least withstand several rounds of artillery fire without collapsing.

That morning, when Tian Tao accompanied Zhang Yunhe to inspect the construction of the defensive position again, he suddenly mentioned: "Commander, the nearest Japanese airport to here is not only Sanzao Island, but also Tianhe in Yuezhou. The Japanese fighter planes are capable of flying from Tianhe to here and back. We have to be on guard!"

Zhang Yunhe nodded and said, "Tell the flight squadron leader Pang Yong and the radar station to keep an eye on the airspace over Yuezhou!"

"understand!"

"Commander, this is military intelligence from the Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency!" A staff officer hurried over with a briefing. "The Japanese are attacking Luzon and Malaya simultaneously!"

“攻打吕宋的是鬼子的第14军，另外还有一艘航母、3艘水上飞机母舰、10艘巡洋舰和29艘驱逐舰,陆军航空兵战机200架”

"The attack on Malaya was carried out by the Japanese 25th Army, which deployed nine cruisers, sixteen destroyers, sixteen submarines, three seaplane carriers, several supply transport ships, and approximately 200 combat aircraft."

Zhang Yunhe took the briefing and looked at it, then asked, "This is what happened on the 8th. It's been over a week, and these foreigners just delivered the briefing!"

Ah Gui, who was standing nearby, said, "Boss, the foreigners can't be trusted. It's obvious that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I'm worried that if the Japanese attack us, the foreigners won't be able to hold out for long and will surrender. Then we'll be in a passive position!"

Zhang Yunhe nodded after hearing this. "Agui is right. We can't trust foreigners. These foreigners have absolutely no morals. They've abandoned their allies and run away on the French battlefield before! Tell the two people sent to the Far East Intelligence Agency to keep a close eye on that area and report any news immediately!"

"Yes, Commander!"

At this time, another staff officer came running over to report: "Commander, General Chen sent by Jiangzhou has come to visit you at the headquarters!"

Tian Tao asked, "Didn't you inform us in advance? Why did you come here without saying a word?"

"Yes, Deputy Commander!"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back!"

Returning to the Merchant Corps Armed Headquarters, Zhang Yunhe met General Chen.

"General Chen, your visit has brought honor to my humble home!" Zhang Yunhe walked over and greeted General Chen with a smile.

General Chen shook hands with Zhang Yunhe and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for not saying hello before coming here. I'm sorry for disturbing Commander Zhang's work!"

"General Chen, you're too polite. Please take a seat! Someone, bring the tea!"

The staff brought tea, and Zhang Yunhe made a gesture for someone to drink tea and said, "I have been thinking about visiting General Chen, but I am just an ordinary citizen. If I go, I am afraid I won't even be able to enter the general's mansion, so I have been delayed."

General Chen took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and laughed. "Commander Zhang, you're too self-deprecating. Not to mention that you've already been a prominent figure here. Even the Governor has to give you some face. Just think about how you've repeatedly delivered large quantities of weapons and ammunition to us to fight the Japanese. You've already entered the sight of the top brass."

"I heard that General Chen Yucai of the Quartermaster Department and the second son of the Gong family are close friends of yours. They're both very popular with the commander!"

"The country needs talents like Commander Zhang. I hope we can visit each other more often in the future."

Zhang Yunhe laughed and said, "Of course. As long as General Chen comes here, he will always be my guest of honor!"
