To be honest, from Fang Lang's perspective, this certificate was too crude, and it was impossible to tell whether it was real or fake. It was easy for the Japanese to get such a document.
Seeing the two people looking at him nervously, Fang Lang said directly in Portuguese:
"Catch them all."
The two obviously didn't understand Portuguese, but Brazilian soldiers all spoke Portuguese, so before they could react, they were caught by a group of soldiers.
The two of them were so frightened that they shouted:
"Sir, is there any misunderstanding? We are allies! Is there any misunderstanding?"
Unfortunately, Fang Lang ignored them and gave orders directly to the boatswain:
"Find a room, strip them naked, and examine them carefully. Check their buttocks to see if they are wearing Japanese loincloths, and whether there are any signs of clogs on their feet.
Also, do they have any wounds on their bodies? Do they have any signs of torture? Vice Captain Reina, please contact the Okinawa base and ask them to verify the identities of the two people with the National Government. "
...
...
Reina took the order and left, but the boatswain said a little awkwardly:
"Sir, what are these loincloths and clogs you are talking about?"
Fang Lang knew that Brazilians and Japanese had not had much contact with each other yet, so it was normal for them not to know these things. Therefore, he explained it to him in detail and told him what kind of traces would be left. Only then did the boatswain suddenly realize what was going on and leave.
Looking at the wooden fishing boats gradually moving away on the sea in the distance, Fang Lang couldn't help but start to wonder, which unit did these people belong to?
If they were really from the Military Control Commission, then what was their purpose in coming here? If they were not from the Military Control Commission, then what side were they from? If they were Japanese, what was their purpose?
Soon, the boatswain came over to report the inspection results to Fang Lang.
"Sir, none of the characteristics you mentioned were found on the two men, nor were there any signs of torture. The older one had two knife wounds on his body, but neither was fatal. It looked like it was caused by a street fight.
The young man had a penetrating wound on his right chest, so he was lucky to be alive. But I think the two of them looked a little strange, because they looked older, but their bodies didn’t look that old.”
Fang Lang smiled after hearing this. This was obviously a disguise! I didn't expect that such technology already existed. I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"That's because they're wearing makeup. Tell them to take off their disguise. I'll talk to them after we confirm their identities with the Okinawa base."
"Yes, sir!"
It was around noon when Fang Lang received a notification from the Okinawa base confirming the identities of the two people.
When Fang Lang saw the two again, they had changed a lot. The older Zhong Ze was only about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, while the translator next to him was less than thirty years old.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Fang Lang nodded, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said calmly:
"You two, I have just confirmed your identities with your country. I hope you don't mind my unreasonable behavior just now."
The two men looked at the young man sitting opposite them with a big horse and a golden sword, and were somewhat unsure of his identity.
Zhong Ze spoke first:
"It's okay, it's okay, this is a necessary review procedure and we understand it."
Fang Lang had no intention of apologizing. It was not that he was not excited to see his two compatriots. Rather, it was more conducive to the communication between the two sides to keep a certain distance before figuring out the other party's purpose.
"Then please tell me! What is the purpose of the two of you risking your lives to come here?"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze said hesitantly:
"Sir, I wonder if you could explain your identities."
Now that he had confirmed the other party's identity, Fang Lang certainly would not hide his identity from him, and he spoke directly:
"We are the Brazilian Expeditionary Navy of the Allied Forces. I am Colonel Fang Lang of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. We are under the command of the Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet of the United States and are here to carry out the mission of blocking Japan's transportation lines."
Zhong Ze obviously relaxed now, and began to put on a very unnatural smile on his face, which made Fang Lang feel very uncomfortable.
"Hello, sir. Since it is the Allied Forces, then we are allies. Thank you very much for coming all the way to help us kill the Japanese."
Seeing that the other party was still trying to be polite, Fang Lang interrupted unceremoniously:
"Okay, your smile is fake, so put it away! We are allies, and we are compatriots. There is no need to flatter us. Just tell us what your purpose is in coming here!"
To be honest, Fang Lang really hates people who try to curry favor with foreigners. I haven't even seen you fawning over your own father, so why do you feel inferior to foreigners?
Zhong Ze was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to be so direct. He said uncertainly:
"Sir, did you just say we are compatriots?"
"Isn't it so obvious? As a major intelligence officer of the Military Control Commission, you are only this good. Didn't you listen carefully when I said the name just now? Or is the person next to you Major Zhong Ze?"
Fang Lang's words startled the two of them. After looking at each other, the young man who had been very calm and silent at the side finally spoke:
"Colonel Fang, you really have a keen eye!"
After saying this, one of them stood at attention and saluted:
"Hello, sir. I am Zhong Ze, a major intelligence officer at the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station."
The man who had been saying that he was Zhong Ze also stood up a little embarrassedly and said:
"Hello, sir. I am Qiu Yuyi, the intelligence officer of the Shanghai Station."
Fang Lang said nonchalantly:
"Okay, I don't care about these. I just want to know why you two found us."
The real Zhong Ze didn't waste any words and spoke directly:
"We would like to cooperate with your army. We will provide you with the departure time and route of the Japanese freighter to facilitate your direct attack."
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. This was like someone sending a pillow just because he wanted to take a nap! He thought about it and said in surprise:
"If you can get the time when the Japanese freighter leaves the port, just report it directly to the Allies! There is no need to come directly to us! Besides, I have been searching nearby for several days and can't see a transport ship. What's going on?"
"Colonel Fang, that's exactly what I was talking about. Since the Allied forces occupied Okinawa, the Japanese have detained all cargo ships in Shanghai, allowing them to enter but not leave.
We found that the Japanese were in great difficulty and were very short of fuel. They had concentrated the fuel of all their ships onto more than 20 ships, apparently intending to ensure the fuel supply of these ships.
In addition, we discovered that the Japanese garrison in Shanghai was looting strategic materials everywhere, including bristles, rubber, tung oil, ore, and even kerosene used by ordinary people.
Among them, some of them are various precious historical relics and gold and silver looted from the country. We judge that they want to form a fleet and set off at the same time, and there may even be several warships escorting them.
As for why we contacted you directly instead of reporting to headquarters, the reason is very simple. The Japanese were very careful this time, and even the porters were Japanese expatriates.
We have no chance to get close, let alone get the exact departure time. Now we can only monitor the movements of the warships from a distance in the harbor, worried that if they suddenly leave, we will report to the headquarters and it will be too late to arrange for the fleet to intercept them. "
Fang Lang thought, no wonder he hadn't caught a single hair in all these days, it turned out the Japanese were planning this. It seemed that he really needed to invite a few boats to go hunting!
The Japanese want to ship back the things they looted from China and use them to defend Japan. Isn't this just a fucking pipe dream?
"Can you find a way to determine the exact time they set off? I will find a way to coordinate the interception fleet to ensure that they are all sent to the bottom of the sea and never allowed to be transported back to Japan."
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Zhong Ze shook his head and said with a frustrated look:
"We are now trying our best to find out the time when the Japanese will leave. But they have put the entire port under martial law. Our people can't get in, and those who get in can't get out."
"Don't tell me they don't have food or water? With so many ships setting out together, they must have collected enough food and drinking water! If they can't get in, have you analyzed the supplies they purchased?"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze couldn't help but look at Fang Lang. This kind of thinking is the working idea of intelligence personnel! I didn't expect that Colonel Fang in front of him would have such awareness.
"We have already been working on this, but they have been purchasing the same amount of supplies for the past half month. Based on our analysis of their data, we think that their supplies are now sufficient for their long voyage. However, they are still not making any moves."
