Chapter 868 Reaching a Consensus
Although the nights in Guangzhou at the end of November are not very cold, they can still make people shiver.
There were few pedestrians on the road. Guan Gu Shenqi passed by a stall selling rice rolls and ordered more than a dozen servings. Then, looking at the boss's embarrassed expression, he thought he was eating for free?
"Boss, I'll pay first and come back to pick it up in ten minutes, please!"
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he took out a stack of military notes, then walked to the door of the grocery store and knocked gently.
A short-haired head poked out from a one-square-meter window. The slightly tired expression disappeared in an instant, turning into a gorgeous flower.
"Guangu-taijun, do you want to buy something?"
"Give me two packs of Hardman!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Guan Gu Shenqi lowered his voice and said:
"Youyou, the situation is urgent. Although the enemy has decided to retreat, they cannot evacuate quickly due to transportation problems. We must transfer the Allied fleet away from Southeast Asia to ensure that the enemy can board the ship with confidence!"
Tang Youyou angrily slammed the two packs of Hardman on the table and said angrily:
"Smoke less! I will report this to my superiors. There should be a result in two days. Then you can come again!"
"Okay, make sure to hold on tight! I'm leaving!"
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait, keep warm!"
Tang Youyou handed over a knitted vest, but after thinking about it, she took it back.
"I'll give it to you after we drive the Japanese away. It's too dangerous to wear it now."
Guan Gu Shenqi nodded, left the grocery store, picked up a dozen rice rolls from the rice roll stall and returned to the headquarters. At the door, he saw Staff Officer Koizumi hanging around.
"Koizumi-kun? Koizumi-kun, aren't you in the detective team? Why are you standing guard at the door?"
When Staff Officer Koizumi saw that it was his old boss and savior, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"Vice-Director Guan Gu, it's so late, why haven't you finished get off work yet?"
"Don't interrupt me. I'm asking you why you are standing guard at the entrance of the headquarters."
Staff Officer Koizumi was somewhat sad, touched his nose, and said slowly:
"Vice-Commander Guan Gu, after evacuating from Peking to Guangzhou, the detective team was originally assigned to the confidential section of the Joint Command Staff Department to continue to serve under you. But because the 23rd Army Staff Department disagreed, we were assigned to the Military Police Headquarters."
Guan Gu Shenqi was well aware of this matter. The 23rd Army Command stationed in Guangzhou originally led the joint command, so each organization was mainly composed of their original personnel.
All the staff withdrawn from the North China Front Army, the 11th Army and the 16th Army were incorporated into the Joint Command. Most of the staffing positions were retained, while a small number were adjusted and left on the bench.
So Guan Gu Shenqi sat on the bench for nearly a month, and the detective team was incorporated into the Military Police Command of the Joint Command and was no longer under the sole command of Guan Gu Shenqi.
Although Staff Officer Koizumi was demoted one rank because of the "leakage case", he is still a lieutenant after all, and there is no reason for him to wander around the entrance of the headquarters in the middle of the night.
"Koizumi-kun, have you been on night shift all this time? No wonder I haven't seen you that often, this is not an easy job!"
"Alas, we are outsiders now, and it's good enough to have a job, which is better than being blown to pieces on the front line."
Guan Gujun felt a little sad inside, as the tragedy of Chief of Staff Koizumi was more or less caused by himself.
"Here, take one of the rice rolls I just bought!"
Unable to refuse, Staff Officer Koizumi took it, and tears seemed to flow from his eyes.
Guan Gu Shenqi took out another large stack of military notes from his pocket, took out two for himself, and stuffed the rest into Koizumi-kun's hands.
"Here! I know your family is in trouble. Life on the main island of Japan is not easy right now. Change it into hard currency and send it back!"
"What about you?"
"I'm a bachelor, I eat in the cafeteria and live in the dormitory, so I don't need to spend money."
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he patted Staff Officer Koizumi on the shoulder and strode into the building.
He kept two portions of rice noodle rolls and distributed the rest to his subordinates.
"Senior, would you like some midnight snack?"
Guan Gu Shenqi brought two servings of rice noodle rolls into He Ying Zhier's office and sat down casually.
Kazutaka Chiji also relaxed his frown, sorted out the documents, put them aside, took a bowl of rice roll and started eating.
"Guangu-kun, I just went out to take a look at the plan they made. Although it's not perfect yet, we have a certain idea. The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the sea transportation line."
Guan Gu Shenqi looked up and glanced at Ying Zhier. It seemed that they had now "reached the same agreement".
"Senior, I want to use a certain method to transfer the Allied fleet away from Southeast Asia, but I haven't decided what method to use yet."
Tomoji Wakatsuki also knew that it was extremely difficult to mobilize the Allied fleet to leave Southeast Asia through "deception", and there was also an independent column and an aircraft carrier formation near the East China Sea.
Although the Japanese high-ranking officials have promised that the Independent Column will not attack them, and the battlefield in western Yunnan seems to have confirmed this, they still dare not gamble. After all, once they get on the ship, there will be more than 80,000 Japanese soldiers.
“How many warships can the Navy provide?”
"Four destroyers, and several gunboats."
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks, hurriedly opened the door, took a piece of information, and hurried back.
This piece of information is about the warships that the Japanese can currently use in addition to their homeland defense.
Hibiki
Type: Fubuki-class (special type) destroyer, the 22nd ship.
Ushio
Type: Fubuki-class (special type) destroyer, the twentieth ship.
(The Fubuki-class destroyer is equipped with three A-type twin-mounted 127mm/50-caliber guns with a firing rate of 10 rounds/minute;
7.7 2mm machine guns;
610 sets of 3-year-type triple-mounted 18mm caliber torpedo launchers, modified type , with torpedoes in reserve;
Mine-laying and mine-sweeping equipment, sonar.)
Kamikaze
Type: The first ship of the second-generation Kamikaze-class destroyer.
Harukaze
Type: The third ship of the second-generation Kamikaze-class destroyer.
(The Kamikaze-class destroyers were equipped with four single-mounted 120mm guns;
Two single-barrel 7.7 mm anti-aircraft guns;
Three Type 533 twin mm torpedo tubes;)
"Senior, although these warships are old stuff that went to sea in the 20s and 30s, if there is no threat from the enemy fleet, they can still handle ordinary scenarios!"
He Ying Zhier had a clear idea in mind, and now all he had to do was to divert the enemy fleet.
"Well, I'll report to my superiors and ask for support. You guys should also think of a solution!"
Two days later, Guan Gu Shenqi came to the grocery store in Tongfuli again as agreed with Tang Youyou.
"How's it going, Yoyo?"
"The superiors called back and told us that they will figure out how to mobilize the Allied fleet. What you need to do is to keep in close contact with Germany and make them think that Japan and Germany are going to surrender to Country E!"
