Because of the attacks launched in Japan by the Japanese extremist organization Avengers, the US military became very wary of the Japanese. Even MacArthur, who had always believed that the Japanese were very submissive, was almost attacked. This also caused MacArthur's impression of Japan to change significantly.
And this transformation was brought about by Fang Lang alone.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was October 15, 1950. The Incheon Landing Operation, which had been postponed for a month, finally began.
Although Fang Lang had already passed the information about the US military's landing in Incheon to his hometown, and his hometown also passed this information to Captain Jin, unfortunately, Captain Jin, who was so dazzled by his victory, did not take this information seriously at all.
Apart from sending an additional regiment to Incheon, no further deployment was made. Captain Jin's main focus now was on the last position of the United States and the South Peninsula in Busan.
Because of Fang Lang's influence, the U.S. military's support for the South Peninsula army was not as timely and abundant as in history. But it must be said that although according to the standards of the American rich, the supply was seriously insufficient, it did not reach the point where the U.S. military ran out of ammunition and food.
Therefore, although the lives of the US troops were affected to some extent, it did not lead to the collapse of the troops. In addition, the US military spared no blood and directly airdropped supplies from Japan, which also gave the remnants of the troops enough hope to prevent them from collapsing.
As a result, Captain Kim's army and his main energy were concentrated in the small place of Busan, and he had no time to pay attention to the so-called Incheon landing.
In the end, although the UN landing force suffered some losses due to the addition of a regiment, it did not affect the overall situation at all. The UN army continued to be unstoppable and completely regained control of the South Peninsula in just twelve days.
...
...
On the day of regaining control of the South Peninsula, MacArthur proposed to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and Truman to drive the XXist forces out of the peninsula, and soon obtained permission.
The next day, the UN army approached the border of the North Peninsula, and two days later, the South Peninsula army crossed the border and entered the North Peninsula. A week later, the UN army broke their promise to restore the South Peninsula regime and openly launched an aggressive war against another sovereign country.
After receiving this news, both the Brazilian military and political circles were surprised. Fang Lang's predictions gradually became a reality in front of everyone.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the other two neighbors in the Northern Peninsula, waiting for their reaction to see if a nuclear war would really happen as Fang Lang predicted.
In fact, as early as when Truman agreed to MacArthur's going north, he gave a prerequisite, which was that he must ensure that his hometown and the Soviet Union would not participate in the war.
But how could the arrogant MacArthur take the newly established country in his hometown seriously? He simply ignored this premise without any care.
But what he didn't know was that this time his hometown was not, as it had been in history, severely betrayed by the alliance between the Soviet Union and the Northern Peninsula.
We did not know Northern Peninsula's plan until two days before it began, and were completely unable to make an effective response. All the troops were hastily withdrawn from the front lines thousands of miles away.
They rushed into the peninsula battlefield without even having time for the most basic supplies.
Because of Fang Lang's early reminder, the old family had already received the agreement between Captain Jin and the old Russians, and they also understood what would happen next. In addition, Fang Lang provided the old family with a steady stream of war preparations through various channels more than half a year ago.
Of course, except for the first batch of supplies that Fang Lang secretly donated personally, the subsequent supplies were secretly purchased by his hometown through the channels provided by Fang Lang.
These supplies are of various types and abundant in quantity. Many of them are specially prepared by Fang Lang for the harsh environment of the peninsula. In addition to cotton, cotton cloth is used as raw material to manufacture military uniforms and cotton-padded jackets in his hometown.
Fang Lang also provided a large number of woolen leather shoes, as well as abundant canned meat, compressed dry food, and medicine, which brought about a qualitative change in the logistical supplies of his hometown.
The troops had already begun cold-region combat training in the rear area of Northeast China and had already prepared to join the war.
Just like in history, although the military had long been prepared to join the war, the government did not immediately pass a resolution to join the war. After all, such a major event cannot be decided on a whim.
Of course, Fang Lang had no say in the strategy of his hometown. What he could do was to ask the people in the port city to stockpile supplies as soon as possible, and to start organizing and supporting patriotic businessmen to form a fleet to quietly transport the much-needed supplies to his hometown.
He knew that in history, his hometown and Hong Kong City were both included in the scope of the embargo blockade by the United States, but this time he had asked the companies that provided supplies to his hometown to store the supplies in Hong Kong City early on. These supplies were enough for his hometown to survive the most difficult period in the early stage.
As long as they hold on until the aid channel to the north of their hometown is opened, the situation in their hometown will soon improve. By then, even if the Americans block the direction of the port city and the supply of goods for patriotic merchants decreases, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
In November, the weather in Hong Kong had begun to cool down, and people on the street put on their coats. Yao Mu was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant not far from the police station, leisurely eating afternoon tea while listening to the gramophone.
A plainclothes police officer in a black suit and top hat came quickly to Yao Mu and whispered in Yao Mu's ear in a low voice:
"Brother Mu, my people have discovered that Huo Guantai has been very active recently. His fleet has recruited a lot of desperate criminals and also got a lot of big guys from Haojiang. It looks like they are going to ship goods north again."
Hearing his words, Yao Mu calmly looked up and down at the plainclothes policeman who looked to be in his early thirties and had a handsome appearance. He patted the man's shoulder with a smile on his face and motioned him to sit down and talk.
"It's Agui! Don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly. How many are these many desperate men you mentioned? And who are these big guys?"
The plainclothes policeman was delighted to see Yao Mu's amiable attitude. It looked like he was going to make a contribution. If he could get the support of Chief Inspector Yao, his status among Chinese police officers would soar. After taking a look around and making sure that there was no one around, he humbly pulled out the chair next to Yao Mu, sat halfway on it and said:
"Brother Mu, I heard that Huo Guantai recruited at least 200 people this time, and many of them have military experience. As for the equipment, they not only have long and short guns, but also light and heavy machine guns, and even, I heard, two mortars."
Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but frown. My goodness, isn't this an armed escort? This made him look at the police officer named Agui with a strange look. How stubborn are you!
"Agui! How many brothers do you have in your family?"
Ah Gui also felt a little uncomfortable with Yao Mu's gaze, and for a moment he didn't understand why Yao Mu asked about his family situation. But since the superior asked, he certainly couldn't help but answer.
"Brother Mu, I have an older brother and a younger sister at home. My brother works as a driver in a factory, and my younger sister is still studying."
"No wonder, that is, even if you are gone, you still have your brother at home who can take care of your parents until the end of their lives, right?"
"Ah! Mu... Mu brother, what... what do you mean?"
Yao Mu's words frightened Agui so much that he almost slipped off the chair. He couldn't help but look at Yao Mu tremblingly.
Seeing his expression, Yao Mu couldn't help but glared at him fiercely and said:
"Do you think our police's small revolvers can handle such powerful firepower? You want to arrest them, don't you want to die?"
Hearing this, Agui clearly understood what Yao Mu meant! He saw that Huo Guantai was too difficult to deal with and didn't want to run into his trap! If he really insisted on continuing to investigate the other party, he might end up with the task, and he would definitely be in trouble.
After realizing this, he couldn't help but slap himself hard. At the same time, he quickly admitted his mistake to Yao Mu in a low voice:
"Brother Mu, I was wrong. Please don't send me to capture Huo Guantai!"
Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. You know you're scared, but you don't understand the ways of the world! But considering that this kid has been with me for a long time and can be regarded as my confidant, it is still necessary to give him some advice, otherwise this kid will kill me sooner or later and I won't know what happened.
"What? You are afraid of death and don't want to catch Huo Guantai, so the other brothers should die? My men are all my brothers in life and death, I treat you all equally.
Do you want me to send other brothers to die?"
At this point, if Agui still didn't understand that Yao Mu was unwilling to touch the tiger's butt of Huo Guantai, then there was no point in him being a policeman.
To be honest, if Yao Mu was unwilling to do this, he could just find someone who didn't get along with him to take over the task. Then the person who took over the task might end up with a bloody nose.
But whether it was because he didn't want his rival to win merit or for some other reason, Yao Mu surprisingly didn't show any interest in Huo Guantai, the big fish. Regardless of the reason why Yao Mu thought this way, Agui also understood what he should do.
He quickly stood up and slapped himself again, then bowed to Yao Mu and apologized sincerely:
"Brother Mu, I'm sorry! I lied to you. I didn't notice anything unusual about Huo Guantai. I just don't like him and want to take the opportunity to retaliate against him."
Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes towards Agui softened. It seems that this kid still has a chance to be saved!
In fact, Yao Mu was not afraid to touch Huo Guantai. No matter how powerful the armed forces in Huo Guantai's hands were, as long as he was willing to swallow his pride and ask the British army for help, he might be able to wipe out Huo Guantai.
However, he had known long ago that the reason why Huo Guantai's fleet was so large today was because that big shot admired him very much and rented him some obsolete bulk carriers, which allowed his fleet to reach its current size.
If he were to investigate Huo Guantai at this time, wouldn't it be like lighting a light in the toilet - courting death? Therefore, he chose to turn a blind eye to Huo Guantai's actions without hesitation.
Since Ah Gui had understood that he didn't want to touch Huo Guantai after his suggestion, he certainly wouldn't delve into it. He just patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Agui! You are still young and have a long way to go. We must not let our momentary impulse ruin our lives!
Even if you don't like someone, you should not think of using the power of the police force to deal with others. If the higher-ups find out, they will drag you out for a shooting contest.
But fortunately, you only said this to me, and my ears are not very good, so I didn’t hear it clearly just now. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Agui understood that Yao Mu had let him off the hook, and he couldn't help but bowed repeatedly in gratitude, saying:
"Thank you, Brother Mu, I understand what you mean.
I just wanted to come over to tell you that I found a wallet at the door. If I remember correctly, it should be yours, so I brought it up specially for you."
As he said that, he quickly took out a wallet from his trouser pocket and handed it to Yao Mu with both hands.
Yao Mu obviously didn't expect such an unexpected gain. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at the thickness of the wallet, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Hey! It's really my wallet. Oh! I was so careless. If you hadn't helped me pick it up, my wife would have scolded me to death when I got home today. Thank you! Agui."
Don't think Yao Mu is shameless, he is teaching his subordinates. If it weren't for his help, this guy would have almost lost his life. Isn't it normal to collect some tuition fees?
Besides, the other party said that he picked up my wallet, so I should at least say thank you!
Don't think that Yao Mu, such a high-ranking Chief Chinese Detective, can take advantage of such a small thing. To put it bluntly, he only accepted the wallet handed over by Agui because Agui was his own. If it was an outsider, Yao Mu would be merciful if he didn't squeeze every last drop of money out of him.
More importantly, accepting the other party's things is a statement of attitude. Only in this way can the other party feel at ease and know that he has exposed the matter. The other party can work for him peacefully in the future. Otherwise, he will have to consider whether Yao Mu is going to give up on him.
Therefore, whether he wants to accept it or not, he has to accept it.
Seeing Yao Mu accept his wallet, Agui was not dissatisfied at all, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little distressed, he still smiled and said:
"Look at what you said. I am your subordinate. When I saw your wallet dropped, I helped you pick it up in time. Isn't that my duty? I dare not ask you to thank me!"
Hearing this, Yao Mu also smiled and took a sip of the tea on the table. Seeing this, A Gui quickly stood up and said to Yao Mu:
"Brother Mu, you go ahead and do your work! I'll go to work first."
Seeing Yao Mu nod, he didn't say anything more, but left the room with a smile.
