Chapter 2688 The Polish Eagle is Dead!
Upon receiving this news, Nantian Yangzi was naturally furious, but her primary suspect was Wang Manchun, followed by Wang Yue.
Now that Yu Manli has sent a telegram to question me, Wang Manchun has become even more suspicious. In addition, since Wang Yue and Yu Manli thought I wasn't here at all, she came to No. 76 and had someone keep an eye on Wang Manchun.
Meanwhile, things were still turbulent in Hong Kong after the robbery. When they went to Hong Kong, they were stopped at the port by British soldiers and were unable to enter Hong Kong for a long time.
Wang Yue wasn't in a hurry at all. He cooperated by having the ship dock at the port and having the crew watch over it before taking Yu Manli into Hong Kong.
However, Wang Yue wasn't one to just swallow his anger. While being searched, he left some empty tokens with the British soldiers who were checking him, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
Surprisingly, just when Wang Yue and his group thought the two control talismans would be activated much later, they used them that very afternoon.
Wang Yue had just settled in Hong Kong when Tsuyoshi Nagafuchi, known as the "Eagle of Poland," arrived as a special envoy of the Emperor to visit the port city of Hong Kong.
Wang Yue's original intention was to create more enemies for the Japanese, preventing them from focusing all their energy on China. So, seizing this opportunity, he didn't hesitate to have the British soldier under his control kill Hasegawa Tsuyoshi in full view of everyone.
"Tom!"
He only turned around when the other British heard the gunshot, and then he saw Hasegawa Tsuyoshi lying on the ground, and Tom with smoke coming out of the gun barrel.
They had already guessed what had happened, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
Hasegawa Tsuyoshi's accompanying soldiers were so shocked by the scene that they hesitated for several seconds before picking up their guns to retaliate.
At that moment, Wang Yue, who was controlling another British soldier, suddenly pulled back the bolt of his rifle, pointed it at Hasegawa Tsuyoshi's guards, and shouted angrily.
"Put the gun down!!"
Those Japanese soldiers were used to being arrogant, and they didn't listen at all. They even prepared to open fire.
Without hesitation, Wang Yue shot and killed one of the soldiers. The other British soldiers, seeing this, could only help, since they would have been killed by the Japanese even if they hadn't.
So, a small-scale firefight broke out at the port, and the Japanese soldiers were quickly killed because they were outnumbered.
The Japanese stationed in Guangzhou soon heard the news and immediately surrounded Hong Kong, demanding that the city hand over the murderer.
Hong Kong was clearly unprepared, so they simply handed over two locals to the Japanese to be used as murderers, which was considered giving the Japanese face. They also thought the Japanese would accept the situation and stop while they were ahead, since in the eyes of the British, the Japanese were nothing and didn't have the guts to fight them.
To their surprise, the Japanese had recently chosen to head south over northwards. Coupled with the information Wang Yue had given them, the Japanese had long been on guard against the British and were looking for a legitimate reason to take action.
Therefore, they could not possibly approve of these two locals, and instead led their troops directly into Hong Kong.
So, after a great battle, only the port city and a portion of the British soldiers hurriedly boarded ships and escaped, while the majority of the remaining British were all left behind as prisoners of war.
Wang Yue, of course, took this opportunity to empty the banks and armory. In the end, no one could prove anything, and it all went to Wang Yue. In fact, the final battle took place near the banks, but unfortunately, neither side managed to get their hands on the gold and silver coins inside.
Yu Manli was unaware that Wang Yue had made a fortune again. When she heard that Hasegawa had just died and that war had broken out between the two sides, she said happily, "Brother, your plan has succeeded. The Japanese have gained another enemy, and we are a little more at ease."
Seeing how excited Yu Manli was, Wang Yue also felt that he had led her astray.
But at this point, all Wang Yue could say was, "It's a pity they're fighting on our territory; it's really embarrassing."
Yu Manli didn't care about this and instead comforted her, saying, "Isn't this a good thing? We need to accumulate strength now. The Japanese and British are fighting, which gives us more support and time to develop."
Wang Yue looked at Yu Manli with some surprise. He didn't expect this girl to know even this. It seems she has made a lot of progress since following him.
Wang Yue felt he could start preparing to go back, since he had already proven his innocence, or rather, the Japanese needed him more.
So Wang Yue said to Manli, "Pass on this news to Nantian Yangzi as soon as possible! Also, have her ask the Japanese garrison if there are any supplies that need to be sent back."
The reason Wang Yue asked Nantian Yangzi this question was because he was planning to take this opportunity to launch another major attack and provoke a war between Japan and the United States ahead of schedule.
Yoko Nanda actually knew about the news from Hong Kong, so after receiving Wang Yue's telegram, she immediately ruled out Wang Yue and Yu Manli as suspects and even contacted Major General Umekichi Okada.
In Nantian Yangzi's view, if Wang Yue and Yu Manli were really suspected, they wouldn't have helped transport the supplies back in the first place.
Okada Umekichi was the highest-ranking Japanese officer stationed in Guangzhou. He knew about the fleet of ships docked in the port, so he arranged for a batch of rubber to be transported to Japan with the help of Wang Yue's team.
Furthermore, to ensure the safety of this escort mission, the Japanese dispatched several warships to guarantee the safety of the entire journey.
Meanwhile, apart from a few essential crew members, the Japanese had to remain in Hong Kong to wait for the ship to return before boarding.
The whole process should have been very safe, but Wang Yue was able to cheat, which made the process very unsafe.
Wang Yue nominally returned to Shanghai on a Japanese passenger ship, but in reality, he used talismans to keep a close eye on the entire caravan's route.
Just after Wang Yue arrived in Shanghai and passed the inspection, another unexpected event occurred at sea.
It turns out that the warships escorting the caravan sank simultaneously as they approached Taiwan, and several merchant ships also sank, with the whereabouts of the remaining ships unknown.
Wang Manchun was unaware of all this. After thinking it over, she still felt that she had been tricked by Wang Yue this time. So when she heard that Wang Yue had returned, she immediately led the people from No. 76 to surround the coffee shop.
