Chapter 809 Opportunities on the Other Side

"Anyway, we are the only ones from the Western camp invited. Maybe we can have some surprises? At least you can treat this as a good trip." Duval smiled.

"Well, at least I can go and see the legendary 'Great Wall'!" Livier nodded. As a Gallic rooster, he was not such a boring person.

"This is a good idea. Believe me, Professor Li Wei, you will not regret this decision. There are still a few days before their meeting. You might as well relax yourself. I think Mr. Li will be happy to arrange the relevant itinerary for you." Duval clapped his hands lightly and laughed.

Similar situations often occurred during this period. Metallurgical practitioners from many countries gradually gathered in Beijing. Some of them came because they couldn't save face, some really wanted to learn technology, and some just wanted to see something new. Technology was not important and they came mainly for tourism.

One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, not to mention that there is more than one staple food in the world, so there are even more kinds of people, with all kinds of purposes.

For us, this situation doesn't matter. As long as people come, it's fine. It's for publicity. As long as you are willing to come, it's fine. The purpose is not important.

It's not just us who are busy with this matter, but also the other side.

This meeting, which was neither big nor small, was not kept secret; it was open to the public. Undoubtedly, the other side also received the news, and their first reaction was that the opportunity had come!

If it weren't an opportunity to learn technology, they wouldn't be able to come here to learn technology.

It was an opportunity to cause sabotage. For them, just throwing a grenade into the conference hall would make our ten years of foreign propaganda work go to waste.

How could they not be tempted by such a cost-free and high-profit thing?

But reality soon gave them a slap in the face.

I can’t get through!

At a base on Danggui Island, a group of officers from the other side were discussing something.

"Sir! No matter what, we cannot send anyone to die." A middle-level officer was so excited that he couldn't suppress his emotions at all.

"Yes, sir. Not to mention the capital, we can't even reach the coastline opposite us! This year, we have sent seven groups of brothers over for other missions, three by air and four by sea, but up to now, no one has sent back any news. Now we are sure that two groups of planes were shot down by planes on the other side before they approached the coastline. We didn't save any of them and didn't dare to go over there. One group did slide into the mountains on a wooden glider, but there has been no news so far. I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic."

He guessed correctly. Half of the people on the wooden glider had already started operating the sewing machines, while the other half didn't even have the chance to operate the sewing machines.

"The situation at sea is not optimistic either. Ships over 200 tons cannot get close to the enemy's coastline. Three of the four groups of people in the past six months were forced to return, and one group was shot down by the enemy's gunboats. The last news sent back was that they were ready to abandon the ship."

The radar signal characteristics of ships over 200 tons are too obvious. Under the joint control of coastal radar and aerial patrol aircraft, there is basically no chance of getting close.

"Sir, what else can we do even if we get close? Bohai is so far away that we can't get in. Apart from Bohai, other places can't reach the capital even if we get close. The road is too far!"

If other missions might mean victory simply by infiltrating the coastline opposite Angelica Island, then if one wants to disrupt the international technical conference held in the capital, one must be present on site.

However, given the vast territory and terrain of the opposite side, let alone entering from the opposite side, even if they infiltrate from Songjiang to the north, it would be of no avail. Not to mention whether the brothers who infiltrated could pass through the opposite side's tight net, but they might end the meeting before they reach the destination.

If we want to infiltrate, the only chance is to enter from Bohai, land near the mouth of the Haihe River, and then make plans.

"Bo Hai? Are you going to fly over there or take a boat? The area near the Datiegou waterway is completely blocked. What else can you do there except die?"

Everyone was talking at once, which annoyed the leader.

"Shut up, we can't let go of this great opportunity! Intelligence shows that there's still some time before their meeting. We still have time! Find a way to get the person up there!"

An officer thought for a moment and slapped his head: "Sir, do you think we should use the hidden chess piece in the capital?"

The leader thought about it and shook his head: "You can try, but don't hold your hopes too high. Most of the hidden chess pieces near the capital are beyond our control. Besides, they don't have weapons, so they can't make a big noise."

The intelligence system of Angelica Island has been at odds with each other since its inception. There is serious infighting, and it is difficult to communicate with each other, let alone transfer the opponent's hidden chess pieces. Which family would not hold this thing tightly like a treasure.

Take the people in this base for example. They received the news but did not communicate or cooperate with other units. "There must be something we can mobilize, right? Sir, didn't you say that throwing a grenade into the venue is a victory? We can always get grenades, right?"

With the amount of guns and ammunition currently circulating among the public, getting a few grenades isn't really a big problem.

"Stupid! That's the worst-case scenario. How can it be considered a plan?" The leader wanted to slap him twice. You guys are so fucking unambitious. Are you satisfied with just a grenade?

"Sir, as far as I know, some people who have turned against us and are working on the other side are hiding guns, ammunition, radio tools and other things. Can our secret agents borrow some from them?" This is an open secret and everyone knows it.

"Come on, as the situation on the other side becomes more and more stable, they all handed them over on their own initiative. I heard that the other side doesn't care about this at all, and just let them keep it for themselves. The remaining small shrimps, with such a small number, can't do anything. The dark chess can't find these small shrimps at all."

The reason why the dark chess piece is dark is that it often means that others cannot find him, but he cannot find others either.

After thinking it over, the leader said angrily: "What the hell, send a broadcast message and let our hidden chess players take action when the opportunity arises."

It is very simple to send such a not-too-complicated message from here to there. Just send the ciphertext code directly on the radio station. The opponent can copy down the ciphertext on the radio as long as he has a radio with a relatively full band to listen regularly, and then he can know the content of the message by looking at the code book.

It is a very old but effective method, which is basically impossible to defend against. This one-way communication also makes it impossible to catch the person receiving the message.

Even in the 4st century, people who play with the radio can still often hear something like "Please copy the following unit...", followed by a string of unit codes and numbers in groups of four. It is for this reason that those numbers are ciphertext.

At this time, an officer who had been silent for a long time raised his hand and said, "Sir, I have an idea, but I wonder if it will work."

His tone was very confident, as if his idea could circumvent all the above problems.

The leader was overjoyed. Finally, someone with a somewhat confident tone spoke up: "You say! If it works, there will be a huge reward!"

"Sir, do you think we should send a team to travel to the South Peninsula by plane immediately? From the Citibank base there, we can ask the Citibank submarine to take us there. It's not too far from the capital."

"Hiss~~~~~~Will the Koreans be willing to do this?"

"Sir, it doesn't matter whether the Koreans are willing or not. As long as the Americans are willing, it's fine. Regarding the affairs of the South Peninsula, the Koreans have no say in it."

"Well, that makes sense! But are you sure the Citibank people are willing?"

"Sir, the Citibank people participated in the operation in Jiaozhi and are now in a mess in Jiaozhi. The shadow of the other side is involved. If we create trouble for the other side, they will definitely be willing to do so without having to take the lead directly."

The leader's eyes flashed, this is actually a good idea, at least it is more reliable than other methods.

"But the other side has deployed seaplanes to fight against submarines in Bluebird City, and there are naval bases on both ends of the Bohai Strait. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in, right? Will the Citibank people take the risk for us?"

"The American people definitely don't dare to go into Bohai. It's their inland sea, the water is too shallow, and it's strangled by the naval base on both ends. But we don't have to go through Bohai. We can go through Yuntai City."

"Yuntai City? Are you crazy? It's not far from the Bluebird Seaplane Base! There's also the Weihai Water Police District to the east!"

Yuntai City is located in the south of the Bohai Strait. It is famous for its apples. It is less than 200 kilometers away from Qingniao City and is next to Weihai. It is an extremely dangerous location no matter how you look at it.

"Sir, we'll go at night. Seaplanes don't dare fly at night, and you can't see anything even if you fly. The same goes for the ships of the Marine Police District. You can't see anything at night, especially submarines. Wait for the submarine to take people to the coastline, and then transfer to a rubber boat. Rubber boats are very difficult to be discovered at night. Sir, Yuntai City has a railway leading to the capital. If we prepare properly, we can either hitchhike on a truck or take a bus. It's much more convenient than going to other places."

When the People's Republic of China was founded, there was no railway in Yuntai. Later in the 60s, a section of railway was built, which connected to the railway from Qingniao City to Beijing, and could also go directly to Beijing.

"Since you've chosen Yuntai, why not Yunlian Port? The railway distance from there to the capital is about the same as Yuntai."

From Yuntai to the capital, although it seems not far at first glance because it goes around the Bohai Bay, the entire railway line is actually about 800 kilometers long, which is about the same distance as the distance from the more southern Lianying Port to the capital. The risk of land transportation is also relatively high.

"Because it's far away from Renchuan Port on the southern peninsula of Korea, if the Americans are willing, a joint port is not impossible. But..."
