Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 919, World Map

 A spy.

  Not marked.

  There is no sign either.

 Obviously, this is a newbie. Supplemented.

 Sigh, I have been a bit harsh in catching Japanese spies, and now a bunch of new people have appeared. There is no oil or water whatsoever.

Get it back and have to manage meals. It’s better to just do it…

 “What are you looking at?” Catherine noticed immediately, “Spy?”

"Rookie. New guy." Zhang Yong said bluntly, "Nothing to gain. Do you want to catch him? Or do you want to get rid of him directly?"

 “Are you sure he’s a spy?”

 “Confirmed.”

 “Show it to me. I’ll try it.”

"good."

 Zhang Yong then pointed out the Japanese spies.

 Catherine took the telescope and looked carefully. Nothing unusual was seen.

 It doesn’t seem like he is a rookie. At least, there is no flaw on the outside. He looks like a very ordinary Chinese citizen.

 Suspicious.

 Catherine turned to look at Zhang Yong.

  She felt that her vision was still good. It's impossible to find nothing.

 That Japanese spy, Zhang Yong said he was a Japanese spy, which should be correct. However, it really looks exactly like everyone else. She, Catherine, was completely unaware.

 This is Shanghai…

 But what if it’s Singapore?

 “You can smell the Japanese from this far away?”

"able."

 “What is the principle?”

 “Metaphysics.”

"What?"

 “Have you ever heard of Guiguzi? I am of his lineage.”

"Yeah?"

 Catherine was dubious.

 Then she made a bold request.

 “Can I learn?”

"cannot."

 “Why? Is it passed on from male to female?”

"no."

 “What the **** is that?”

“You must have a very miserable fate in your previous life to learn it.”

 “Why is it so miserable?”

 “Nine-nine-six, zero-seven, blessings, if they all give out money, it means they don’t pay out...”

　　　…”

 Catherine was confused.

do not understand at all. Had to give up. It feels too mysterious.

 Oriental metaphysics. There is no way to learn.

If you want to identify Japanese spies, you can only invite Zhang Yong to take action in person.

fine. This matter is quite easy to solve.

 Just give me money.

 If it’s not enough, give more.

 Theoretically, as long as the money is given, Zhang Yong can defeat the emperor...

By the way, give me a beautiful girl...

 “I’ll catch him.” Catherine walked towards the spy.

 The spy glanced at Catherine. no response. Continue to move forward on your own.

 Catherine suddenly shouted in Japanese. Then rush towards him.

 She did it on purpose. Gauge the other person's reaction.

 As a result, the spy immediately turned around and ran away. Apparently he understood.

"real…"

 “Spy…”

 Catherine was completely convinced.

This Zhang Yong is really amazing. Don't know how to describe it.

 She can identify spies at a glance from such a distance. She needs such a magical ability very much. He must be invited to Singapore...

 Wrong.

Going to Singapore is just one step.

 The most important thing is to make this guy work harder. Catch more spies.

The more spies he catches here, it will also affect the spies in Singapore. There are not enough Japanese spies here, they must be transferred from Singapore!

 After thinking for a while, she turned around and came back.

 Zhang Yong:? ? ?

no. Didn’t you say you were going to catch Japanese spies?

How come he didn't get caught and actually came back again? Are you trying to trick me on purpose? In the end, the spy was let go in vain?

 “I want to discuss something with you.”

"explain."

 Zhang Yong was not angry.

 The more beautiful a woman is, the more scheming she is.

 He has to be careful.

 “In this case, I will give you a merit point.”

"do what?"

“Every once in a while, tell me how many Japanese spies you have captured. Which Japanese spies you have captured. Then, I will assess your meritorious service.”

"What is the use?"

 “The merit points can be exchanged for rewards…”

"GBP?"

"of course not."

"what is that?"

“For example, request our warships to **** you! Use our cargo ships! Or our visas. And so on, and so on.”

 “Are you an NPC?”

 “What NPC?”

"never mind."

 Zhang Yong shook his head.

Catherine is certainly not an NPC.

However, her formulation did make him feel very novel.

 In fact, this is also a win-win situation.

how to say? Pay directly. It is indeed difficult. No one’s money comes from strong winds.

 However, besides money, there are many other ways of remuneration.

 For example, battleship escort. For China, it is very important. Money may not be able to buy it.

 For Catherine, it was a favor without any expense. Anyway, the destroyer is patrolling the sea, where should it go? Fees are fixed. No additional expenses.

 Freighters, visas, etc. are all more convenient and cost-effective. The cost is very low.

 What was sold was the prestige of the British Empire.

Japanese warships would definitely not dare to intercept a freighter flying the Union Jack flag easily.

 You can also get effective protection by using a British Empire visa to enter the concession. Even Yingzuo Zhenzhao cannot arrest people casually.



 This is obvious. She doesn't hide it either.

She just hoped to use him, Zhang Yong, to catch Japanese spies and suppress the Japanese invaders. This was in the interests of the British Empire.

 “Then how many merits do I have now?”

 “Let’s count it as ten thousand.”

“Then if I need a clipper ship to go to sea and fly your British Union Jack flag, how much merit will it take?”

 “What are you going to do at sea?”

“A Japanese ship sank. There was a lot of French currency on it. I want to salvage it.”

 Zhang Yong told the truth.

There is no need for Catherine and Catherine to lie. Because she won't steal money.

 She is a rich woman herself. I don't like those legal currencies at all. In fact, the British did not accept fiat currency at all.

 The birth process of legal currency itself was troubled. It was pushed hard by the Americans. Japan, Britain, and France have not recognized it. The Germans abstained. The polar bear remained silent.

 So, the current situation is a bit strange. All foreign banks do not accept legal tender. Including Citibank.

 “Approximately how far away is it?”

 “Not very far.”

 Zhang Yong estimated that it was at most twenty or thirty nautical miles.

 If it were any further away, the "Edogawa Kohoku" would have been drowned long ago. It was impossible to swim ashore.

“Then I’ll arrange a gunboat.”

 “Gunboat?”

Zhang Yong was a little surprised.

 The British are in Shanghai, and there are gunboats?

 I don’t think I’ve heard of it…

 “Gunboat. Fast. Offshore. Safe.”

"good."

 Zhang Yong has no opinion.

 It would be best to have a British gunboat.

In case of encountering a Japanese destroyer, it can also be intimidated. Let the other party not dare to mess around.

 “You wait a moment.”

 Catherine immediately called. arrange.

 A few minutes later, she came back. He took Zhang Yong to the concession dock and waited.

 A few minutes later, a gunboat appeared.

 It was not the same as the gunboats of later generations.

 A bit crude. Still a little rusty.

 Displacement is less than 100 tons. Not large in size. Equipped with two 20mm machine guns.

Well, it is an old empire after all, and it would still be impressive to just build a gunboat. At least there are cannons. Although it is a small 20mm water pipe. The Japanese gunboats only had 7.7mm heavy machine guns...

 Get on board.

Set off.

 Catherine also joined in the fun.

 Since it is a British Empire gunboat, safety should be no problem. Zhang Yong was relieved.

Feeling that my previous idea was really a bit hasty. I actually want to go sailing when I build a yacht. If caught by a Japanese destroyer, he would be bombarded to pieces! Repeatedly tell yourself: safety first, safety first...

 “Heading?”

 “Go east!”

 Zhang Yong was unable to determine the location of the sunken ship.

 Judgment is in the east. Be prepared to head east first, then north. Come full circle.

 If not found. Further south…

"good."

 Catherine then issued an order.

 The gunboat then headed east quickly. The speed gradually increased.

 Zhang Yong looked at the speedometer quietly.

  10 verses, 15 verses, 20 verses…

 The speed gradually slows down.

 A gunboat is a gunboat after all. Insufficient tonnage.

 After the speed exceeds 20 knots, it becomes very bumpy. Often thrown up.

 For sailors who live at sea all year round, of course there is no problem. However, for Zhang Yong and his men, it was all over.

They are all landlubbers! Many people have never seen the sea in their lives.

 Soon became unsteady on his feet.

 Then vomiting.

 It is uncomfortable to feel that I am going to die. Total loss of combat effectiveness.

 Pang De and Huang Zhong lay directly on the deck.

 Unable to stand up at all.

　　No matter how fierce they are on land, they become soft-footed shrimps at sea.

 Catherine also began to have adverse reactions.

 Zhang Yong also has some.

 But, strangely enough, just a little bit.

 Feeling a little uncomfortable. But not too uncomfortable. Feeling a little nauseous. But I don’t think too much about it.

 It is suspected that the system is involved. But there is no evidence.

 I hope the system will be more powerful...

  【12 nautical miles beyond the coastline】

  【World map mode starts】

 Suddenly, system information passed by. Then, the map switches.

 Switch directly to globe mode. Most of the area is dark. Only the Chinese side is bright.

Huh?

Is this the fog of war?

Want to see a map of the world and explore it yourself?

No way?

 Don’t you want to run around the world by yourself?

 Try to zoom in on the map.

 Keep zooming in…

 Finally, the scope of the display has reached the coast of East Asia.

I want to find a scale to see how far the distance is. It turned out not to be.

 Don’t know the distance. You can only estimate it yourself.

 As the gunboat continued to move eastward, the fog continued to recede.

 The areas that the gunboat passed through turned into bright mode.

 However, for a huge world map, such a small amount can be ignored.

 Calculate quietly. It seems that the distance to open the map is about 12 nautical miles. Even where Zhang Yong is, with a radius of 12 nautical miles, it will become brighter.

 The fog of war will not reappear. Once expelled, the area remains illuminated.

However, Zhang Yong is still unclear about what role and function the map will have after it is lit up. There was no explanation from the system.

Alright, let’s explore slowly by ourselves...

 Suddenly, I heard something.

Huh?

Heaven?

 Look up subconsciously.

 It was discovered that a plane was coming from the east.

Hurrying up the telescope.

fine.

 It is not a Japanese plane.

 There is no such big plaster flag sign. There are five blue stars.

 Reacted. It seems to be an American plane? Winged. At first glance, it looks like a very old carrier-based aircraft...

 Zhang Yong suddenly remembered something.

It seems that the performance of the beautiful country carrier-based aircraft during this period was relatively poor.

 All are biplanes.

 Before World War II, what were the carrier-based aircraft of the American Empire? F4F? wildcat? Hellcat?

 Wrong. The Hellcat seems to be the F6F. It only entered service after the Pearl Harbor incident. The life of Zero Type once was unable to take care of itself.

　　How can you be bright when you are born with beauty? Although the Zero is powerful, it is also a tragedy to encounter the Hellcat.

 However, even F4F has not appeared yet.

 Thinking of something again...

 There is an aircraft manufacturing company called Grumman.

 This is an aircraft manufacturer specializing in the production of carrier-based aircraft. It produces the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft.

 It seems that we really need to come out and broaden our horizons.

 Otherwise, I would never know that the system can actually open the world map.

 The so-called world means the whole world.

 In the huge battlefield of World War II, the Chinese battlefield was only a part of it.

 The most cruel thing was the Soviet-German battlefield...

 The most spectacular event was the Pacific battlefield...

 In the Chinese battlefield, rookies peck each other...

“Planes from the aircraft carrier Saratoga.” Catherine looked up.

 “Is Saratoga nearby?” Zhang Yong was curious.

 He has never seen a real aircraft carrier.

 Later generations have seen many pictures and videos on the Internet. But I haven't had any real close contact.

 Suddenly wanted to take a look. Look at the aircraft carriers of this era.

"Definitely is."

 “Go and have a look?”

"What catches your eyes?"

 “I haven’t seen it.”

 Zhang Yong focuses on sincerity.

 Catherine indeed agreed. Let the gunboat find the aircraft carrier.

 It’s actually easy to find. Because there is a radio on the gunboat. You can get in touch using public channels.

 “A bit far. Fifty nautical miles!”

 “Go and have a look.”

 Zhang Yong insisted. No matter the legal currency.

  Anyway, earlier or later, the legal currency will not escape. Just come back and look for it.

 The gunboat moves forward at a constant speed.

 Zhang Yong found that he seemed to be gradually adapting.

 It doesn’t feel bad anymore. I don’t want to vomit either. He staggered while standing and walking, but did not fall.

good.

Although he is not good at marksmanship, he is not good at fists and feet. But, others are okay.

 Maybe, this is your future?

One hour…

 Two hours…

 Saw a destroyer. The Stars and Stripes were hoisted.

 Oh, it’s the destroyer of the Beautiful Country. Don't know what model it is. But certainly not the Greyhound...

Since the destroyer appears here, it means that the aircraft carrier is not far away.

 Sure enough, the gunboat continued heading east.

 Half an hour later, we finally saw the shadow of the aircraft carrier.

  【Discover something that can be anchored...】

  【Read data...】

  【Discovered the aircraft carrier Saratoga...】

  【You can anchor...】

  【After anchoring, you will know its position at any time. The map will be lit up in the area it passes through...]

 Suddenly, a series of messages came.

 Zhang Yong bit his lip quietly.

 He was worried about the sound he would make. Others will notice abnormalities.

 At the same time, he also needs time to digest the information.

Anchored?

 Open the map?

 Lock the Saratoga aircraft carrier?

 And then use it to help open the world map?

Is there such a function?

　　Hey, that’s great…

 Anchor immediately without thinking.

 As expected, a white mark appeared on the world map.

 Open with thoughts. Detailed latitude and longitude. However, there are only latitude and longitude. Nothing else.

Well…

It seems that I have to study again.

 After returning home, we need to study the longitude and latitude of the world carefully, and we must know roughly...

  【Current number of anchors: 1】

 【Can only anchor aircraft carriers】

 System messages continue to arrive. Zhang Yong said he could accept it.

 Just one. It was already a very pleasant surprise. The rest will be discussed later. He doesn't care about that much.

  Take your mind back.

 Get ready to take a closer look at the aircraft carrier Saratoga.

 Suddenly, I found a wooden box floating in front of me.

Huh?

 Wooden box?

 Shipwreck?

What a coincidence?

 Could it be that…

 Were the Japanese ships sunk?

　　Pirates…

 Maybe it’s…
