Chapter 141(1/3)
Lu Hongda's adjutant soon came to Chen Gongshi's resting cabin and knocked on the door.
After a moment, the door opened and Chen Gongshi showed his face.
The adjutant was very familiar with him and told him with a smile that Lu was having dinner with General Tu Fei and several senior personnel on the ship, asking him how he was in good health and whether he would go there together. If he went there, the general could recommend him to the general.
"The general is quite interested in you after hearing the general mention your situation."
Chen Gongshi asked how the meal was going, how to arrange it after the meal, and where they were going.
"It's almost time. Generals will go to the reception room with the Grandmaster at seven o'clock. They used to be teachers and students, so they should have some private matters. You also understand that you should not be with Speaker Chen at that time. If you want to meet the general quickly, go with me now."
Chen Gongshi said that he was still unwell and probably couldn't take it. He had just taken the medicine, so he might as well take a rest first and ask him to apologize to Lu Hongda and Tu Fei for himself.
The adjutant also knew that he had diarrhea and now he could barely pass by. If he had an attack during meals, he would be rude and naturally would not force him. So he smiled and said, "Okay, then you rest first, I will explain the situation on your behalf. Also, your adjutant lives in the lower floor, and is in the same house as me. You can get better, let him go down by himself." He reported a room number.
Chen Gongshi thanked him, turned around and left, closed the door, turned his head and looked at He Hanzhu who was standing behind the door.
He Hanzhu took away the gun that was pressing behind his waist.
Chen Gongshi whispered: "Commander He, I have done everything you want me to do. After this, my future is over. I just want to survive..."
Before he could finish his words, He Hanzhu elbowed him on his temple.
Chen Gongshi felt a "buzzing" in his ears, and a severe pain came, his eyes turned black, and he threw himself on the ground, unconscious.
He Hanzhu will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he is not a rude person.
Chen Gongshi and Lu Hongda were wearing pairs of pants, and now they followed him to Japan. What was his idea? It goes without saying.
He Hanzhu dragged Chen Gongshi, who had fainted into the bathroom, found a rope, tied his hands and feet tightly, and stuffed his mouth with a bun. He was sure that it would not cause trouble for his next action, so he locked the door of the bathroom, walked out, opened the suitcase, and took out the cloth bag he had put in before.
He would like to thank Lu Hongda for the car time bomb and bomb assassination operation arranged by him the last time.
If it weren't for that experience, he wouldn't have known that there were good things like time bombs.
After obtaining the sample, the head of the technical department of the headquarters took it back and studied it, and soon got started. He Hanzhu had practiced it many times before, and now he is quite proficient in the technique.
The cloth bag contains all the materials needed to make time bombs. Fried medicine, lightning tubes, wires, batteries, etc. According to his plan, two need to be made. They have been tied separately.
He took it out and finished it quickly, and in the end he only had time.
He thought for a while, looked at his wristwatch, set the two bomb clocks for the same hour, and finished them all, wrapped them in cloth again, carefully put them back into the suitcase, then lifted them up and opened the door.
Now it is located in the living area of the ship, located at the back. This is where middle and senior officers live, and there is a corridor outside the door, which is very quiet.
He Hanzhu went out with the box, first installed the important one, and headed towards the central turret.
Among the ships, various functional partitions are fixed. The ammunition depot is right below the turret.
It's supper time now, and I've been out all the way and I've met anyone.
He Hanzhu went down the cabin along the iron ladder and soon arrived directly under the turret.
Opposite, on the wall of the corridor, there are warning signs that idlers are prohibited from entering.
"Stop, who?"
A shout suddenly came from behind.
He Hanzhu turned his head and saw a guard strode towards him with a gun. He knew that he was responsible for the guard duty. He smiled on his face and asked for directions in fluent Japanese: "I am the adjutant of Speaker Chen, who just boarded the ship tonight. I was told just now that I live on the lower floor, but the road here is too complicated. I was lost and was about to ask someone. Where is the room?"
Japan's small country was once a vassal of the East. After Meiji, it came from just twenty or thirty years after Meiji, and rose from a poor and weak country to the strongest in Asia.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, the people of the country have envied each other, inside and outside the court, all those who have family and country have the intention of imitating and reforming, and a large number of people have gone to Japan to study.
The same was true for He Hanzhu's grandfather. He was worried about his country's fate and asked his grandson for Japanese teaching since he was a child. He planned to wait for his seniority and send him to study abroad if his health allowed him. Later, the plan was naturally not possible, but He Hanzhu's Japanese language has been in elementary school for many years and has a very good level.
"At the back! This is the ammunition compartment! Go out quickly!" the guard shouted loudly.
He Hanzhu apologized and pretended to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
The guard stopped him again and stared at the box in his hand.
“What’s in the box?”
"It's my carry-on luggage, I'm going to take it to the room."
"Open!"
"General Tufa!"
He Hanzhu suddenly looked behind him, his face turned aloof and shouted respectfully.
The guards hurriedly turned around, but saw that there was no general behind him. Before he could react, he had a severe pain in the back of his neck, as if he had been slashed heavily and threw himself to the ground on the spot.
He Hanzhu quickly put down the box, knelt on the ground, pressed firmly against the back of the guard who was not completely unconscious and struggling with his knees. He held his hands left and right, exerted force, and twisted his sudden force.
Accompanied by a crisp "crack" sound of bone breaking, the guard's neck bone was broken, his body spasmed, and he was in a state of excitement.
He Hanzhu glanced at the left and right, dragged the body to a nearby storage room, stuffed it in, covered it with debris, then came out, walked into the corridor with a box, and stopped in front of a door.
Behind this door is the ammunition depot. He does not have a key, and now he cannot get it in a short period of time, so of course he cannot get it in.
But this doesn't matter.
Fifty minutes later, the time bomb he assembled with a huge amount of explosives was enough to blow everything within a few dozen square meters around him to pieces, and then detonate the ammunition depot.
Tonight, this warship that has just left the port will sink in the outer sea due to an unexplained ammunition depot. The rest of the people on this ship will live or die, depending on their own luck.
He Hanzhu placed the explosives behind a closest exhaust tunnel.
This place is very hidden and no one will usually observe it. Unless you search it deliberately, it will never be discovered.
He quickly left and went back to the upper floor. When he passed by the canteen, several sailors on the ship had just finished their supper and came out laughing and talking about how long they could stay after the trip home. Suddenly, he saw He Hanzhu and looked over with contempt.
He Hanzhu, as if nothing had happened, returned to the officer's living area and looked at the time again.
Six:40. There are still twenty minutes to go until seven:00 and forty minutes to explode.
The reception room should be near the officer's living area.
He Hanzhu looked for a while, and soon saw a room with a nameplate. He listened carefully through the door and heard the movement inside. There was no sound. He knocked again, then slowly pushed open the empty door and looked in.
The reception room is decorated with a day room, with tatami and a four-couple Ukiyo-e screen used as decoration. There is no one at this moment.
Without hesitation, he flashed in, closed the door and walked towards the tatami.
There is a small table on the tatami, with tea sets on it, waiting for someone to come.
He Hanzhu took out another guy, squatted down, and was about to place the thing under the tatami as fast as possible, and then quickly left. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps from far to near came from outside the door.
Someone came to this side. Judging from the direction of his steps, he should be here.
There is no time left.
He Hanzhu quickly put away his things, stepped a few steps to the Ukiyo-e screen used as decoration, and hid in.
As soon as he hid, he saw the door being pushed open. Along with a burst of jokes, a group of people came to the door.
The one who walked in front was a short, fat Japanese man wearing the uniform of a senior officer. He was Lieutenant General Doraemon and the commander of the Japanese army in Huatun. His purpose was to report his duties this time.
Lu Hongda followed behind him with a smile on his face.
Tu Fei and Lu Hongda walked in, and everyone else, including the adjutant, took the initiative to stop outside the door and close the door.
The surroundings became quiet.
Tu Fei took Lu Hongda to the tatami and took his seat relatively.
He Hanzhu did not expect that the meeting of these two people would come early.
According to his original plan, after installing the bomb, he left and waited for the explosion.
At that time, there are two possibilities.
The first type is that Lu Hongda and Lieutenant General Tu Fei were killed here together.
The second possibility: they have finished their meeting, left here, and escaped.
But when the two met, there must be a lot of things to talk about, and it should not be enough in just half an hour. So this possibility is not big.
However, even if you really have left, it doesn't matter.
Once the two bombs explode at the same time, especially the explosion of the ammunition depot below, it will inevitably cause chaos. When the time comes, he is hidden in the dark and has a chance to start.
He Hanzhu thought about everything, but he didn't expect that the person would arrive early. Twenty minutes were enough for him to pack things and leave safely.
Now things are not only left in your hands, but you can't get out of it.
He made a decision while his mind was moving.
He silently placed the box on the ground, looked at his wrist watch, touched the dagger hidden on his body, and quietly waited for the opportunity.
On the tatami, Lu Hongda poured tea for the earth and fat.
There were many guests on the dinner table just now, and there were many things that were inconvenient to talk about. Where did he feel like he had a meal? The same should be true for the fertility of the land. They both tacitly understood each other and ended the dinner quickly and came here.
Lu Hongda still reminisced about the old days at the beginning, and after some gossip, he began to talk about his study at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school when he was young.
"General, you were about the same age as me at that time, but you were a little older, but you already had the honor of an outstanding young officer of the Empire. It was my lifelong honor to be your disciple that day."
Tu Fei slowly drank a sip of tea, his eyes flashed and he didn't say anything.
