Chapter 2690 Preparing to assassinate Matsui Iwane!

Chapter 2690 Preparing to assassinate Matsui Iwane!

The Japanese Navy chose to split its forces into two groups. One group went to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii to launch an attack on the United States and occupy the area, directly cutting off the United States' transit point in the Pacific and making Hawaii the center of its confrontation with the United States.

Another part went to the Philippines to attack American military bases, eliminating the last obstacle for the Japanese army to advance into Southeast Asia.

In the eyes of the Japanese, once the Americans were defeated, Britain and France were no threat at all.

Both wars broke out very suddenly. Japan had been planning for a long time, while the United States was unprepared. As a result, both wars ended in defeat for the United States.

Thus, the balance of military power in the Pacific was broken, making Japan feel that it had dominated the Pacific and thus began to launch attacks on South Asian countries with confidence.

Wang Yue's fleet was also requisitioned by the Americans and used to transport a large number of Americans to the United States for refuge. This prevented the Japanese, who arrived later, from finding any ships and thus failed to obtain any evidence against Wang Yue.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Manli, who was checking the accounts in the coffee shop, put down her ledger and said to Wang Yue with concern,

"Brother, the Japanese actually won!"

The US is too easily defeated!

"If Japan no longer has enemies in the Pacific, will they become even more arrogant?"

Seeing that Yu Manli was a little worried, Wang Yue smiled and said, "The United States has a very strong war potential. Although they are relatively far away, they will be able to turn the tide sooner or later once this war begins."

Yu Manli frowned and said uncertainly, "But in this way, the Japanese sphere of influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the space for us to live is getting smaller and smaller. This is not a good thing."

Wang Yue looked at the people coming in through the window and said calmly, "Japan lacks resources. They will have a smooth start when they launch a war in South Asia, but it will become very difficult after they encounter the British. After all, the British have ruled there for many years, which will relieve some of the pressure on our side."

Domestically, what we need most right now is time. We must buy enough time to minimize the losses on our land.

Yu Manli didn't care about anything else. She was so excited that she felt the assassination could begin that she asked impatiently, "Big brother, can we start the assassination now?"

Wang Yue knew that Yu Manli's target was Wang Manchun, but Wang Manchun couldn't die yet. After all, his mission wasn't finished yet, and if she died like that, he would miss out on one of the benefits from the system.

Although the system is often unreliable when it travels through time, it seems that everything it does has a deeper meaning, and the system will reward it for free.

So Wang Yue was worried that Yu Manli would actually pick up a gun and kill Wang Manchun, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Of course, the first person we'll kill is Matsui! That old guy wanted to carry out a massacre when he was in Nanjing, and now that we've located him, we'll kill him first!"

Upon hearing Wang Yue's reminder, Yu Manli immediately thought of the person who had escaped from Nanjing, and she felt particularly sleepy.

But thinking about how long it had been since we'd heard from Matsui Iwane, Yu Manli said uncertainly, "But Matsui is in the Nanchang war zone. I heard he doesn't even wear his general's uniform anymore. We can't find him in the middle of the army."

Wang Yue certainly had a way to find it, so he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let's go and try together. You'll cover for me while I do the assassination!"

"We need to make sure everyone knows we're still near Shanghai, so we can completely clear ourselves of suspicion." Yu Manli immediately objected to Wang Yue's suggestion, saying disapprovingly, "That won't do. We both have to act together."

Seeing Yu Manli's insistence and considering that he hadn't yet completed her task, Wang Yue had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

However, if two people are going together, then some planning is needed.

The waterway from Shanghai to Nanchang is now blocked. Although there are no large ships, there are small boats patrolling. Occasionally, people can smuggle themselves across, but long-distance transport of people and goods is definitely not an option.

Therefore, Wang Yue and Yu Manli first need to find an excuse to go to Hangzhou, then detour to Jiangxi from there, and finally find a way to go to Chishan Songjing Shigen.

Fortunately, Kennan hired a beautiful waitress, which made the foreigner's heart flutter. He didn't care much about the boss and his wife wanting to leave temporarily.

The waitress who was hired was Zhao Di, Mingtai's partner. Her name was so rustic, just like her name, that her family didn't like her at all, but Kainan liked her very much.

Zhao Di had nowhere to go during this chaotic time of war, so Wang Tianfeng pulled her into the secret service camp, and she eventually became Mingtai's partner.

Zhao Di's current task is to infiltrate the coffee shop to confirm Wang Yue and Yu Manli's identities; she won't do anything else.

Zhao Di was initially worried that the coffee shop had been targeted. After the previous waiter died so tragically, she felt that she was also in danger and was even prepared to die.

To Zhao Di's surprise, the coffee shop manager, Kainan, treated her like a fairy the moment he saw her, helping her out of several dangerous situations involving spies.

Actually, Zhao Di isn't considered unattractive by Chinese standards; in fact, she might even seem a bit awkward. But in Kennan's words, she's his goddess.

That's why Kennan disregarded everything and helped Zhao Di deal with those spies.

The news that Wang Yue and Yu Manli were planning to travel to Hangzhou was relayed to Mingtai and Minglou through Zhaodi.

After hearing this, Mingcheng frowned and asked, "Brother, what is this Mr. Wang doing in Suzhou? Is he planning something big again?"

He intuitively felt that Wang Fuqu's death and the attack on the Japanese warship were both the work of Wang Yue's men. Otherwise, how could so many things be related to Wang Yue?

Minglou thought so too. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm not sure either. Let's keep a close eye on it."

Mingcheng nodded and said, "Mingtai seems to be in Suzhou right now. Should we inform him and tell him not to contact Wang Yue for the time being? It wouldn't be good if a conflict broke out when they pass by."

After listening, Minglou shook his head and said, "No need. Some things need to be decided by Mingtai himself. After all, he has already entered this industry, and it is difficult for him to quit. Moreover, if Mingtai contacts Wang Yue, he might change his mind."
