Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 814 Bargaining with the New Governor

Zhang Yunhe’s current assets are all in Hong Kong Island. If the Japanese invaders were to break in, all his efforts over the past few days would be wasted.

So no matter from which perspective, he could not let the Japanese attack him. Fortunately, he still had more than 10,000 armed merchant corps with guns, weapons, ammunition and various equipment.

In addition to conventional weapons and equipment, there are tanks and aircraft, but no ships.

But it doesn't matter. If the Japanese dare to land from the sea, he doesn't mind dropping bombs from the air to sink all the Japanese ships to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Accompanied by Ah Gui, Zhang Yunhe came to a military camp of the armed merchant corps. Tian Tao was now in charge of all the training of the merchant corps' armed forces. At this time, Tian Tao had received orders and brought several regiment and battalion commanders of the merchant corps to greet them at the gate of the military camp.

"Salute, Commander!" When the officers saw Zhang Yunhe get off the car and walk over, they stood at attention and saluted together.

Zhang Yunhe was wearing a military uniform without a rank at this time. He walked over and shook hands with the regiment and battalion commanders one by one.

"How is the mental state and fighting spirit of the brothers?" Zhang Yunhe walked into the military camp accompanied by everyone and asked as he walked.

Tian Tao said: "During this period of training, the brothers have been holding back their anger. After learning that the Japanese troops were stationed on the north bank of the river, they were all ready to fight and vowed to fight the Japanese to the death!"

Zhang Yunhe secretly shook his head. Tian Tao's words must be exaggerated. If it were possible to avoid war, who would be willing to put their head on the line to fight? War means death!

Although a considerable number of soldiers in the merchant corps' armed forces fled from the north and were not burdened by families and relatives, there were still many soldiers who had settled down here and had relatives here.

If we didn't know that the Japanese would attack sooner or later, I'm afraid no one would be willing to fight them to the death.

After watching the soldiers train for a while, Zhang Yunhe asked Tian Tao, "Do you know the situation on the other side of the river? How many troops are the foreigners deployed there? Which unit are the Japanese troops on the north bank of the river?"

Tian Tao replied: "In addition to our merchant corps' armed forces, the Governor's Office can mobilize about 100,000 troops. Half of them are deployed on the south bank of the boundary river to guard against the Japanese, and the rest are deployed in the city and various islands to prevent the Japanese from landing from the sea!"

"The Japanese assembled on the north bank of the boundary river are the 38th Division under the Japanese 23rd Army. The division commander is Sano Tadayoshi. The 229th Regiment of the 38th Division is deployed to the east, and the 230th Regiment is deployed to the west!"

"In addition, we have received news that the Japanese have built an airport on Sanzao Island. The fighter planes come from the Japanese Second Expeditionary Fleet. If the Japanese want to launch an air raid on us, the attack planes will definitely come from Sanzao Island."

Zhang Yunhe asked, "How's the development of our communications department going? Have we found any outstanding radio talent?"

Tian Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "No, we have advanced radio equipment, but we can't find any experts in this field in Hong Kong. It seems that if we want to obtain the Japanese military intelligence through radio communications, we only have two ways!"

"Which two ways are they? Tell me!" said Zhang Yunhe.

Tian Tao immediately said: "First, the British have a Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency here, which is directly responsible to the Governor-General and is also under the command of the British headquarters; second, there is the 8th Working Group sent from Jiangzhou. This working group is stationed in the Meili Barracks in Central and reports directly to General Chen, who is their highest commander here."

"If we can share the radio intelligence of the Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency and the 8th Task Force, it will be of great benefit to us in resisting the next attack by the Japanese!"

At this time, a staff officer ran over and stood at attention, saying, "Report, Governor Yang's secretary called and said that the Governor wants to meet with the Commander to discuss how to resist the Japanese attack!"

Zhang Yunhe turned to look at Tian Tao and said, "See, I told you the foreigners wouldn't let us just sit there and watch the fun. Speaking of which, I haven't even met this new Governor Yang yet!"

After saying this, he said to the staff officer who came to report, "Reply to the Governor's Office and tell them that I will visit Governor Yang in an hour!"

"Yes!" The staff officer saluted and turned to run back to the office building.

Zhang Yunhe then said to Tian Tao, "Order all regiments and battalions to enter wartime status, especially the mountaintop radar warfare. Monitor all airspace 24 hours a day. If you detect an enemy aircraft attack, immediately sound the air defense alarm!"

"Also, the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun regiments must be on standby 24 hours a day, ready to annihilate the invading enemy at any time! From now on, no one in any unit is allowed to request leave. If anyone deserts during battle, battlefield discipline will be enforced!"

Tian Tao and the others stood at attention and saluted, "Yes!"

Zhang Yunhe remembered something and asked, "By the way, how many fighter planes does the British have at Qide Airport?"

"Only 5!" replied Pang Yong, the captain of the flight brigade standing nearby.

"What? The British are the only ones here and they only have 5 fighter planes? What are these foreigners thinking?" Zhang Yunhe was quite surprised.

Tian Tao explained: "Since October of last year, this place has actually been surrounded by the Japanese on three sides. The foreign leaders believe that the fall is a matter of time. In addition, the fighting in Western Europe is very severe, and most of the fighter planes have to be given priority to the European battlefield. The entire flight group originally deployed here was transferred away, leaving only 5 planes."

Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, thought for a moment, and said, "This war is still going on. It won't be over in a few days or even a few months. We must prepare for a rainy day!"

"Starting this afternoon, we will continue to set up recruitment points on various islands to recruit soldiers for training. We must ensure a steady supply of reserve troops. Only in this way can we fight the Japanese to the end!"

"Yes, but if this happens, the military budget will not be enough!" said Tian Tao.

Zhang Yunhe waved his hand and said, "I will increase military spending. You don't need to worry about these aspects. What you need to think about is how to recruit more people, how to train them as quickly as possible to fight the Japanese on the battlefield, and how to keep the Japanese north of the boundary river!"

"Yes, Commander!"

An hour later, Zhang Yunhe drove to the Governor's Mansion with Ah Gui and several elite soldiers armed with the merchant corps.

"Commander Zhang, please follow me. Governor Yang is waiting for you!" The governor's secretary said to Zhang Yunhe who had arrived at the door.

"Okay, time to work!"

In the reception room, Zhang Yunhe met the new Governor Yang.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Merchant Corps' armed commander, Zhang Yunhe, has been ordered to come!"

Governor Yang quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Zhang Yunhe with a smile. "Commander Zhang, I can't believe you're so young! It's beyond my expectation. Please take a seat, let's talk!"

"Ok!"

After both parties sat down, Governor Yang said without beating around the bush, "Commander Zhang, I'm sure you're aware of the current situation. I need your merchant corps to be deployed to defend against the Japanese attack!"
