Colonel Malik fully understood Fang Langhua's identity and his desire to settle accounts with the Japanese, but he did not understand why he had to go to Tokyo.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he stood up again in fright.
"Fang, you're not going to throw these dangerous goods into the devil's palace!"
After thinking for a while, he sat down again, patted Fang Lang on the shoulder and said:
"You have no chance. The Japanese Imperial Palace is heavily guarded. We Americans are responsible for its defense. We will not give you a chance to attack the palace.
A few days ago, some Japanese officers who refused to surrender wanted to rush into the palace and kidnap Tianhuang, but they were all killed by the defenders. "
Fang Lang had this idea, but after thinking about it, he gave it up. It wasn't because he was afraid of the American defenders. It was mainly because he was considering what would happen if he really attacked the Japanese Tianhuang.
I guess I won't be able to go back to Brazil. Even if I do, I'll probably be caught. It's not worth sacrificing myself for Tianhuang.
Fang Lang didn't know whether Malik really cared about him, but Fang Lang still wanted to appreciate it, so he smiled and said:
...
...
"Don't worry, bro! I'm not that stupid! It's not worth it to sacrifice myself for a piece of shit Tianhuang. Don't worry! I'm still young, I won't do anything stupid!
But, after all, I am now under the management of your Osaka occupation forces, so how can you allow me to take my brothers to Tokyo?"
Malik looked at Fang Lang deeply, as if he wanted to see whether what Fang Lang said was true or false. After a long while, he said slowly:
"Fang, since you know that you are now under the management of my Osaka occupation army, you should know that everything you do is related to me. Once the responsibility is investigated, both of us will be arrested together.
So, do you think if you were me, would you let me mess around?"
It seems that Fang Lang really thought things were too simple. He was just a small colonel of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. On American territory, there were indeed many things he could not do anything about.
However, Fang Lang felt unwilling to give up so easily.
Suddenly, Fang Langfuzhi remembered the old monk who jumped off the five-story pagoda, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Malik, if you retire, have you thought about what you are going to do?"
Seeing Fang Lang, who originally had an unpleasant expression, actually smiled and changed the subject to ask about his future plans, he was stunned and looked at Fang Lang with suspicion and said:
"I should probably go back and join my family's construction company! Why? Do you have any recommendations?"
I didn't expect that Malik's family actually runs a construction company. It seems that he is a rich man! If he is rich, how could he not see the value of the machinery and equipment in the artillery factory!
This made Fang Lang feel a little strange, and he couldn't help but continue to ask:
"I didn't expect that your family actually owns a construction company. It seems that you are a rich man!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Fang Lang's words, Malik's face turned ugly, and he said with a slightly angry tone:
“I am not a rich man, although this company was founded by my father. However, he has made a will, leaving all the shares of the company to my half-brother.
I just had an opportunity to work in a company.”
Unexpectedly, Fang Lang's casual remark actually led to a family ethics drama. No wonder Malik was so interested in money and dared to take such a big risk to take over a cannon factory.
"Don't be sad, buddy. Your father will regret his decision. Now there is a chance to make a fortune. I wonder if you dare to try it."
Although Malik was short of money, he was not stupid. How could a stupid person become the brigade commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army?
So, after hearing Fang Lang's words, Malik looked at Fang Lang with an expression as if he was looking at a fool, as if to say, are you looking at me stupidly?
Fang Lang looked at Malik's expression and said with a smile:
"Marik, do you know whether the occupying forces in Tokyo have gained any treasures from the Tokyo Museum?"
Speaking of museums, Malik became visibly interested, and he obviously knew the value of antiques and other works of art.
After thinking for a while, Malik said:
“The orders we received did not allow us to take action against such units.
However, from what I know, the Japanese were on guard against us, so the things in the museum were obviously of little value.
They hid all the good stuff.”
"Oh! Then I wonder if we can confiscate the artifacts that are not in the museum?"
Seeing Fang Lang's confident expression, Malik finally began to show a greedy smile.
"Fang, you mean, you know where the museum's collections were moved by these dwarfs, right?"
Fang Lang smiled noncommittally and said nothing.
Malik immediately understood Fang Lang's meaning and said directly:
"Fang, there are some things we can't do openly. However, as long as we can ensure that we are not discovered, there is still room for maneuver.
But we all have to be honest.”
After hearing Malik's words, Fang Lang still didn't understand what he meant. He smiled and said:
"I did hear that the Japanese moved a large number of artifacts from the Tokyo Museum before you landed, and I also know where they hid them."
"Fang, tell me your conditions."
Malik was very direct, which surprised Fang Lang. It seemed that getting rich was really attractive to Malik!
Fang Lang didn't say anything more and spoke directly:
"There's so much food that we can't finish it all."
"Colonel Jason, the commander of the Tokyo occupation forces, is my comrade-in-arms. We can recruit him to join our group, and then we will be safe."
"But these things are not my main goal."
Now that Malik is interested, all that’s left is for Fang Lang to put forward his request.
"Tell me what you want to do in Tokyo and how you need our cooperation.
How about this! I will talk to Jason first, if he is also interested, then we can do this together. How about it? "
Seeing Malik's anxious expression, Fang Lang naturally would not refuse. This was his only chance to enter Tokyo. If he could not complete it within October, he would have no chance when the country ordered him to withdraw.
Fang Lang nodded without hesitation.
Malik directly picked up the phone in front of him and dialed it in front of Fang Lang. It was definitely not convenient to say these words directly on the phone, but it can be seen that Malik has a very good relationship with the other party.
After the two reminisced about the past, the other party, after hearing Malik's hint, directly said that he would fly over for a meeting tomorrow morning.
Fang Lang was really envious. He didn't know when he would be able to own a plane like this that flew back and forth.
Since Yue had agreed to come for a face-to-face meeting tomorrow morning, they would definitely talk it over together, so Fang Lang quickly said goodbye to Malik and returned to his base.
As soon as he returned to the base, Fang Lang ordered the artillery platoon to bomb the Sumitomo Copper Blowing Station with napalm bombs.
Even if Sumitomo wants to cause trouble, he will be destroyed.
The next morning, before Fang Lang set out to look for Colonel Malik, he saw Colonel Malik and another short and strong middle-aged white colonel, driving a jeep straight to Fang Lang's office.
After Malik introduced the two people, Fang Lang took them to his office and held a closed-door meeting.
Without waiting for Fang Lang to speak, Colonel Jason took out a map of Tokyo from his briefcase, spread it out on the desk and said:
"Fang, Malik has made it clear to me. Malik and I are brothers, and you and Malik are also good brothers. The purpose of our coming here today is also very clear.
You tell me what you want to do, what we need to do, and how to distribute what we get. How about we be open and honest with each other? "
Fang Lang looked at Colonel Jason in front of him and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed that he was amazing.
They just met for the first time, but he wanted to have the final say. Fang Lang definitely couldn't follow his pace!
He spoke directly:
"I wonder what Colonel Jason can do?"
Jason was stunned after hearing Fang Lang's words, and looked at Colonel Malik. Malik nodded at him without saying anything, but there was obviously a tacit understanding between the two.
Seeing Malik nod, Jason spoke directly without hiding anything:
"Fang, except for the generals' guards, all the Tokyo occupation forces are under my control. If you want to take action somewhere, I can assure you that no one who shouldn't be there will appear in a place where they shouldn't be."
It seems that Colonel Jason really wants to get the specific address from him! Unfortunately, Fang Lang is not a child and it is impossible for him to be fooled so easily.
Instead, he said calmly:
"I don't know if Colonel Malik told you that he gave me fifty Japanese Type 97 mortars and five hundred rounds of napalm. If I want to go to Tokyo and dump all of these things in one place, can you handle it?"
Fang Lang's words obviously frightened Colonel Jason. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets and he glanced at Malik with horror.
Malik shrugged, smiled wryly and nodded.
Colonel Jason swallowed hard and said:
"Are you crazy? We will all be court-martialed if you do this."
Malik saw Jason's expression and obviously knew what he was thinking about, so he quickly said:
"Jason, don't worry, Fang said he won't blow up anything!"
Then both of them looked at Fang Lang, obviously wanting Fang Lang to tell them his real goal so that they could assess the risks.
Fang Lang smiled, looked at the map of Tokyo, pointed to the location they were worried about and said:
"Are you afraid that I will just blow up that old Huang Ba's house?"
The two men nodded repeatedly, obviously telling Fang Lang that if he wanted to blow up something, they would not play anymore and could not afford it.
