Chapter 2691 The Death of Matsui Ishigami! (Part 1)
Seeing Minglou's words, Mingcheng didn't say anything more. After all, in Mingcheng's heart, Minglou was the closest person to him.
After Mingtai went to Hong Kong with Wang Yue last time, he came to Suzhou after returning, intending to buy some guns and ammunition.
Just then, news came that Wang Yue was going to pass through Suzhou on his way to Hangzhou, and Mingtai immediately decided to buy these things from Wang Yue.
So, as soon as Wang Yue and Yu Manli's car arrived in Suzhou, Mingtai appeared immediately.
Mingtai greeted Wang Yue from a distance, and after Wang Yue's car stopped, he asked very seriously, "Mr. Wang, can we talk?"
Wang Yue and Yu Manli drove here themselves, partly to make it easier for them to leave quietly.
Hearing Mingtai's request, Wang Yue was curious about what he wanted to do, so he smiled and said, "Then let's get in the car and talk as we go."
Mingtai didn't hesitate and immediately opened the car door and got in. Then he asked seriously, "You don't have any listening devices in this car, do you?"
Wang Yue understood that Mingtai might have something important to say, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "No, just tell me what it is. I have a cooperative relationship with your Ming family, and I will definitely help if I can."
Seeing Wang Yue's words, Mingtai said directly, "Brother Wang, I need gunpowder. Can you provide some?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue asked curiously, "How did you know I had explosives? I don't think I've told anyone."
Mingtai smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know, but I always feel it's strange that several Japanese warships were bombed. I suspect that your ship was loaded with explosives and sank them."
After all, given the current situation, the United States doesn't want to get involved yet. It's not the time for them to reap the rewards, especially since Japan's military strength is still at its peak. If they don't further weaken the Japanese, the Americans will suffer significant losses.
Wang Yue had to admit that Mingtai, as the protagonist, had a sharp eye, but he couldn't admit it, and just smiled and said...
“Mingtai, sometimes, a single accidental event can become the trigger for a series of events, and Japan and the United States are well aware of this!”
Although the Pacific Ocean is vast, it can only have one dominant power. They all want to be the leader, so a decisive battle between them is inevitable sooner or later, and the longer it drags on, the fiercer the fighting will be!
Therefore, given such a chance opportunity, encountering some radical officers and seizing the chance to launch a surprise attack is both possible and quite feasible.
For example, when our ships left Hong Kong, there was indeed a US fleet sailing near Hong Kong, which is an undeniable fact!
You'd better not make unfounded suspicions!
In fact, Yu Manli was extremely nervous at this moment. She did not expect that even though they had done it so secretly, someone would still guess that it was them!
Now that even Mingtai has guessed it, does that mean everyone else has thought of it too?
Fortunately, Yu Manli had been with Wang Yue for so long, and the two had done many assassination missions together, so her heart had long since become very bold, and she was not affected by Mingtai's words.
When Mingtai said this, he was also observing Yu Manli. He didn't mean anything by it; he was just curious and wanted to find out if Wang Yue was the one who did it.
But seeing that Yu Manli's expression was very calm and her gaze outside showed no panic, he felt that he had guessed wrong and became even more confused!
Could it be that some radical military officers in the United States are actually planning to take action?
However, nothing can change the fact at this point; the two sides have already started fighting, and it's uncertain what the outcome will be.
After all, Japan is now essentially fighting against the US, UK, and France alone. Whether it can win is anyone's guess. The most urgent task is to deplete Japan's elite officers as much as possible! So, Mingtai smiled and said, "Let's get back to the main topic. Boss Wang didn't refuse outright, so he must have some gunpowder. I wonder how much he can provide."
Wang Yue had already discerned from Mingtai's actions that Mingtai was preparing to assassinate the Japanese. He thought this was a good thing and was prepared to support him.
So Wang Yue smiled and said, "That depends on what you want to bomb. If it's just an ambush on the road, the quantity should be relatively small, and I can easily get it for you."
If you want to bomb warships, that's a huge amount, and I have to think of another way.
But no matter which method you use, it's very difficult to avoid being discovered.
Mingtai hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to blow up a villa and level it to the ground. I don't know if you have that much stock."
After hearing this, Wang Yue smiled and said, "No problem, but you'll need to wait ten days for me. I'll make some arrangements, and we'll trade in Suzhou when Manli and I return from our trip."
Mingtai agreed after hearing this. He then politely greeted Yu Manli, asked Wang Yue to stop the car, and got out on the side of the road and left.
After Mingtai left, Yu Manli asked uncertainly, "Brother, are we really going to sell him the medicine? The Kuomintang agents aren't good people."
Yu Manli concluded that Mingtai was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau because of what Wang Yue said.
Wang Yue laughed and said, "Those who can operate behind enemy lines are obviously targeting the Japanese. So even if we don't help them take action ourselves, we should at least lend a hand."
Yu Manli remained silent, but being intelligent, she understood that their mission was only scheduled for 10 days later, after which they would have to return to Suzhou.
So the two of them didn't stop along the way and soon arrived in Hangzhou. From there, they secretly boarded a train and headed towards Nanchang.
Actually, the roads weren't in good condition at that time. The reason we went this way to Nanchang was because Matsui Iwane was stationed in Nanchang and was posing a threat to Wuhan.
In fact, Japan lost tens of thousands of troops when it captured Nanchang. The reason was that the Japanese did not have large warships to help them, so they could not blockade the waters.
This resulted in the untimely replenishment of their mechanized equipment and combat supplies, whether it be fuel or other materials.
This is why the capture of Nanchang resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of people, not including the number of people who died in the fighting before the capture of Nanchang.
For this reason, Matsui Iwane, who was in charge of the campaign, stopped after a probing attack on Wuhan and rested in Nanchang while waiting for the transport of subsequent equipment.
However, because the losses in this great battle were too heavy, Matsui Iwane was furious and took the opportunity to arrest some civilians who had not followed the migration to Chongqing.
