Chapter 3166 Treasure Hunting Mission 20

"Comrade General, I want to ask you for a favor. You are the only person I can think of who is capable of doing it and might be willing to help me."

"Oh? It sounds complicated. Tell me first."

Malachenko saw that Chen Weiguo was embarrassed. Just describing it sounded quite confusing. It was unknown what it would be. Anyway, Malachenko could not guess it just by looking at Chen Weiguo's expression.

Chen Weiguo did not wait too long. Since he had made up his mind to say it, he did not hesitate. After thinking for a while, he spoke quickly.

"We have received intelligence, Comrade General, that the Japanese army is secretly transporting a batch of our national treasures, many of which were looted by the Kwantung Army over the years. Now that they are losing, they are planning to transport these treasures to Japan."

"The comrades lurking behind the enemy sacrificed their lives to obtain this important intelligence, but we are powerless to do anything about it. We do not have enough armed forces to stop the enemy's actions. I hope you can help us take back the national treasures. If the leader's army is dispatched, then it must be able to do it!"

Malashenko had done this kind of thing a long time ago.

It was during the Great Patriotic War. The Germans, who were doomed, also wanted to take away all the treasures looted from the Soviet Union before being driven out of the Soviet Union.

Especially the fat man Hermann Meyer, who was extremely greedy for all kinds of treasures, did not hesitate to send his own soldiers-the Air Force Field Force, to drive an armored train named after himself to rob and escort the treasures.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Malashenko, who came directly to rob a train, smashed the "Hermann Mayer" armored train to pieces and overturned it, and the Soviet Union's top treasure "Amber Room" was also lost and recovered.

Thinking of the last train robbery, Malashenko immediately spoke up, wondering how he would go about taking back the treasure this time.

"Well, in principle, I am willing to help. Whenever possible, these treasures should not fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, but should be returned to their original owners."

"You should know more details, right? Tell me, this requires a complete battle plan, and I have to listen to it before I can decide."

"Okay, thank you! Comrade General."

Seeing that Malashenko did not refuse, but expressed his willingness to help in principle.

Chen Weiguo, who did not dare to ask for anything more, knew that Malashenko's advance statement was already a great honor.

Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty. Even if Malashenko really refused in the end, Chen Weiguo asked himself that he could not use this reason to hold a grudge against him.

Then he sorted out the details and spoke.

"We don't know when the Japanese army plans to start shipping. We only know that because the Red Army's offensive was too fierce, the Kwantung Army was caught off guard and could not resist it, and retreated all the way, so this batch of national treasures is still being transported by land."

"The route and details are unknown, but the intelligence obtained mentioned that the Japanese army plans to transport them back to the mainland by sea."

"Sea transportation? These Japanese devils really dare to think. The American sea blockade is so dead, and the unrestricted submarine war has already begun. The Japanese broken ships sent into the sea by submarines to feed the fish can form a fleet. These dogs dare to use sea transportation to transport treasures?"

Hearing Malashenko's puzzled question, Chen Weiguo, who really had more inside information to add, continued to speak.

"Because the number of national treasures is not cheap and they are very heavy, Comrade General, these are the things that the Kwantung Army has plundered and accumulated over the years."

"Now the remaining airports under the control of the Kwantung Army have basically been destroyed by the Red Army, and they can't get enough large aircraft to transport so many and so heavy treasures. I just don't know why the Kwantung Army has been keeping the things until now and wanting to smuggle them back to the country. They clearly had many opportunities to do it earlier."

Chen Weiguo had his own doubts, but Malashenko, who smiled to himself, could probably guess the answer.

"It would be a miracle if these bastards who have their own troops could transport these treasures back to the country as soon as possible."

"They are reluctant to send a few rifles to support the Pacific battlefield. They obey the orders of the military if they want to, and disobey them if they don't want to. I guess if they didn't see the situation and knew that they were defeated, they would never easily hand over these treasures and transport them back to the country."

"Once the things leave their territory, it is not up to the Kwantung Army to decide how to deal with them. From the perspective of the internal struggle of the Japanese devils, this is the case."

The strangeness of the Japanese army in World War II was not only that the navy and the army were fighting all day long, but also that there were various factions within the army. The internal struggle between the military and the Kwantung Army was just one of them.

Not interested in putting too much energy into thinking about the internal struggle of the Japanese devils, Malashenko, who already had some understanding of the general situation, immediately stood up and motioned Chen Weiguo to follow him.

Malashenko, who was analyzing the possibilities, spoke quietly until Chen Weiguo stood beside the war zone map hanging on the wall.

"Even if they go by sea, the Japanese devils have few options left. They can only find a way along the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula."

"The Red Army's offensive is now approaching Andong (now Dandong) and heading straight for Donggang. It is not realistic to start shipping from here. According to the situation you described, the Japanese devils may run into the Red Army tanks halfway before they can pack up their treasures. This route is too risky."

"Then the only options left are here, Dalian and Lushun. There are excellent ports here for warships and large-tonnage transport ships to enter and exit, and from the perspective of the war situation, the area north of Dalian and Lushun and south of Shenyang is still under the control of the Kwantung Army, and the Red Army's offensive has not yet arrived."

"The land transfer line is unobstructed, and there are excellent ports for sea transportation, and there are more than one. Whether it goes through Dalian or Lushun, it can be transported, and there are alternative plans."

"There will be no better choice than this, or the Japanese devils have no choice now, so they can only do this."

After listening to Malashenko's analysis, Chen Weiguo nodded, and asked with a worried tone.

"Then, Comrade General, can your troops rush over to intercept these Japanese invaders?"

"I really want to answer you that there is no problem and I guarantee it, but this is a bit irresponsible. The truth is that it is indeed difficult."

Malashenko shook his head and did not make a promise immediately, because even with the strength of the leadership army, this kind of work that is too rushed is not something that can be done with certainty.
