C1541 In Fact It's a Good Name
The person outside pulled on the rope and lowered it bit by bit. Qin was holding a flashlight and was shining it in from the hole.
The cave was not very deep, not even ten meters deep. I saw that the bottom of the cave was filled with poisonous creatures like snakes and scorpions crawling about. There were also quite a few bones, which made my scalp tingle.
I couldn't help but think of that time when Lee Shun and I were almost thrown into the cave of snakes and scorpions. I thought of that time when I experienced the horror of the dry hole.
"Keep it —" Qin ordered his men to untie the rope. The man was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the hole.
The poisonous creatures in the cave became even more excited as they saw the food coming. They crawled back and forth quickly. The poisonous snakes seemed to be spitting out cores, making faint noises.
"Ah!" the man in the cave cried out in horror. His body was about to touch the bottom of the hole, as if a viper could bite his neck with a single leap.
"Help, help —" He let out a hysterical scream of terror.
Qin waved his hand, causing the people outside to pull on the rope and stop.
"Do you want to live?" Qin chuckled.
"Think, think, save me, spare me." "No," he said.
"Do you know what to say?" Qin continued.
"Got it, got it, I'm going to explain!" I will honestly tell you! " "No," he said.
Qin called for someone to pull him up. He was sitting on the ground with a pale face, as if his body was paralyzed and couldn't get up for a long time.
Qin directly called for people to drag him back to the tent. Lee Shunzheng walked back and forth with a gloomy face.
"I won't cry until I see the coffin. I've thought it through and brought it back!" Qin said.
Lee Shun stopped and looked at him with a look of disgust.
"Go ahead." Qin kicked him.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you the whole truth, I'll tell you everything, I just hope that my superior can spare my life." he begged.
"If you want to live, you have to tell the truth. Otherwise, you won't be able to live past dawn. By tomorrow night, you will only have a pile of bones left!" Qin said.
His eyes shone with fear, and he trembled all over.
"I heard that even Japanese people who aren't afraid of death have quite the backbone. I think it's only that much. I think all of you only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong, Japanese bastard!" Qin said mockingly, "In front of the Americans and Russians, you're the grandsons."
He lowered his head, silent.
At this time, Lee Shun suddenly stared at Qin and me and said in a daze, "You two, get out —"
I was stunned and looked at Lee Shun.
Qin also looked at Lee Shun in surprise.
Lee Shun's face seemed to become even darker and said: "Didn't you hear what I said? You didn't understand what I said? "
It seemed that Lee Shun wanted to talk to him alone.
Qin and I looked at each other, Qin nodded, then he found a pair of handcuffs and prepared to cuff him. Lee Shun waved his hand, indicating that there was no need.
Then, we all went out, leaving Lee Shun and that person in the tent, and two guards standing guard at the entrance of the tent.
Qin and I were smoking nearby. It was already 3 in the morning and the night sky was very quiet.
I don't know why Lee Shun wanted us to leave him alone with that person, nor do I know what Lee Shun is going to talk about with him.
I could hear Lee Shun and the man talking inside the tent. It sounded like they were talking in Japanese.
Obviously, Lee Shun didn't want others to understand their conversation.
Although Lee Shun didn't tell us why he did it, I think I guessed it had something to do with the fact that this spy was Japanese.
Qin didn't say anything, but he seemed to think the same as me.
Mr Liu was able to infer so quickly that the spy was Japanese, apparently on the basis of his familiarity with certain aspects of Japan.
And this spy is Japanese, what does it mean to us especially to Lee Shun? Even though I don't know it yet, I have a vague feeling in my heart.
At four in the morning, he heard Lee Shun call out from the tent: "Someone —"
Then two guards went in and escorted the spy out.
When I entered the tent with Qin and the commander, Lee Shun was pacing back and forth with an ashen face.
Seeing us enter, Lee Shun stopped, took an envelope and handed it to him, saying: "You, immediately arrange for two people to find a boat and escort this spy across the river to the other side, together with this letter, you will hand it over to the leader of the Taipei militia, just say that it's from me."
The commander accepted the letter and was about to leave. Qin instructed, "When crossing the river, in order to prevent any misunderstandings, put on the searchlight for a while, then use it to light up the boat. Anyone crossing the river must lift a white cloth."
Qin was very considerate.
"Right, let's do it this way. Let's go." Lee Shun said.
The commander promised to go out.
Then Lee Shun looked at me and Qin and said, "He really is Japanese. "His accent also has some of the dialects of the Hokkaido area. When he spoke Mandarin, I recognized a little of it, mixed with the ending sounds of that area."
"Isn't he a spy sent by the Self-Defense Forces?" "No," I said.
"Yes." Lee Shun nodded with an ugly expression.
I didn't ask anymore, neither did Qin. We all seemed to understand, since it wasn't sent by the Self-Defense Forces, then it must have been sent by Wu De. This man was brought here from Japan by Wu De, and he speaks Chinese fluently.
At this moment, why did Wu De send such a person here?
0
Lee Shun said with a gloomy face: "Do you know why I handed this person over to the Self-Defense Forces? Do you know what's in my letter? "
Qin and I shook our heads.
"The man's confession was in the envelope. Signatures — handwritten confessions — in addition to his signature, and my signature beside it. I wrote eight words next to the signature: No one offends me, no one offends me. " Lee Shun said, "This person is not here to spy on us. He specifically asked us to capture him. The purpose of our capture was to confess information that the Self-Defense Forces were about to launch a blitzkrieg attack on us tomorrow night.
The purpose of this is to have us pre-empt an attack on the Self-Defense Forces, and once we believe the information he provides, once we launch an attack, a bitter Chinese civil war against the Chinese is inevitable. "
Qin said: "In other words, he doesn't know whether the Self-Defense Forces are preparing to attack us or not. His purpose here is to start a war between us and the Self-Defense Forces, and to use false information to induce us to act first. "
"Yes, this is his fundamental purpose, and also the purpose of the people who sent him here," Lee Shun said. "I will now hand this person along with the confession to the Self-Defense Forces and see what they do with it. See if they believe it or not, see if they will really attack tomorrow?"
I said, "So, you can think of it this way, that the other side doesn't seem to have the determination to attack us first. On the other side of the Chen army, it seems more like they want to defend themselves, or have listened to some false intelligence, thinking that we are going to attack them first, so the defense is mainly the defense. Of course, it doesn't rule out that if they think we are going to attack them first, they will take the initiative to attack us first.
It can also be understood that Wu De's reason for the other party not only didn't achieve the final effect, but also saw that the other party wasn't willing to make the first move, so he used this method to send out a spy who pretended to be from the Self-Defense Forces to be captured by us and used the fake information he gave us to lure us into making a move first. Once we make the first move, the other side will definitely believe the fake information from before and will definitely attack us with all their might. This way, Wu De's scheme will succeed. "
Lee Shun nodded, and Qin also nodded.
"This analysis is reasonable," Lee Shun said. "It's possible."
Qin said, "Wu De seems to be trying his best to motivate the neighbors on the other side to fight us to the death, or both sides would suffer losses and both sides would be at the same time fighting each other. At the same time, he would release information on the truth and falsehood, knowing that we and the Self-Defense Forces never interact, knowing that we are on guard against each other, and making full use of this point."
I said, "Also, Wu De might not bet all of his treasures on the Self-Defense Forces. Whether we succeed or not here, he might still have some tricks up his sleeve. "
Lee Shun's eyes lit up, and he said: "I don't think it's possible, but there must be some tricks behind it. It's better to fight on this side. Even if we can't fight, it can also distract the troops.
At this moment, someone came in and sent Qin an intelligence report.
Qin opened it and took a look, then handed it to Lee Shun, and said, "This is the information just provided by our intelligence personnel on the other side. Wu De's activities on the other side doesn't seem to be going smoothly, even though he threw out the bait with huge amounts of assistance and although the neighbors on the other side were very tempted, but they have yet to make up their minds to attack us first.
In other words, the Self-Defense Forces didn't accept Wu De's offer to exchange economic assistance for a condition of attacking us. Although they really need money to improve the lives of the citizens, they are not without principles. It seems that they want to accept Wu De's help, but also don't want to initiate a war. Of course, if they thought we were going to attack them, they might do so first.
"The current situation is that neither we nor the other party understand each other's true intentions. We can only make our judgement based on information that we are unable to determine if it is real or fake. If we make a wrong judgement and fire happens, then a war is inevitable."
"It's like the Soviet Union and the United States in the cold war," Lee Shun said. "A little carelessness could lead to a world war. In my opinion, the main reason is that the communication between the two sides is lacking and someone has drilled a hole in it. In my opinion, it is really necessary to set up a hotline.
Fortunately, I heard the Japanese idiom mixed in the end of the spy's pronunciation. Putonghua sounds very much like the pronunciation of the people on the other side of Hokkaido. Even though he said it in a very standard manner, I still understood his words. Otherwise, we might actually believe his bewitchment. "The Margo Wall."
Lee Shun only told me and Qin that he interrogated that person about the authenticity of the information, but didn't mention anything else. I don't know if Lee Shun asked him about anything else.
If he didn't say anything, we naturally wouldn't know.
After a while, the commander returned. He reported that he had taken the spy and Lee Shun's letter to the other side of the river. The crossing was smooth and the other side did not fire.
"Who's the spy?" Qin asked.
"We have given it to the enemy forward commander, and our men have told him that this letter is to be delivered to their commander in chief. They have also handed it over, saying that this is what our commander in chief himself means. The frontline commander agreed and said that he would arrange for it to be sent immediately. He then courteously welcomed our people and safely sent them back. " the commander said.
"Yes." Lee Shun nodded. "That's good." It all depended on the other party's reaction. Until there is an update on the situation, we must continue to maintain our high vigilance against sudden attacks from the other side. "
"Yes …" The commander nodded in agreement.
"If you lose your position on the shore, you can meet me with your head in your hands." Lee Shun said to the commander.
The commander replied, "Commander, how can I lift my head to you? This seems very hard to do. If my head falls off, I won't be able to bring it up myself. "
