Chapter 98
"Sir, the safehouse is under attack and 'Clay' is dead!"

"What? What happened?!"

"Armored vehicles! Two Dutch Indian army tanks attacked the safe house, and mortars are said."

Knowing that the hideout where "Clay" was located was raided, and summing up the constant reports that "the Javanese rebels launched a rebellion", Director Glenda guessed the general situation in an instant.

"Damn! Those Chinese! It's them who are making trouble!"

At this moment, he was both annoyed and regretful—if he had followed Agent Jonelle's advice and went to investigate the suspicious situation at the Katalin Hotel, would all this have been avoided?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and now Glenda can only rejoice that this is on the territory of the Dutch.Although he was very unlucky, it was the Dutch who suffered the most. Thinking of this, he felt a little more psychologically balanced.

But after all, he had to pay the price for his dereliction of duty, because Chai Guoyi was a bargaining chip in the exchange of the captured agents of the two sides in the near future, but his good plan was smashed.

Now Glenda's mind is full of how to justify herself, otherwise how can she do it if her bright future is ruined?

At the same time, Zhou Changfeng and his party had already boarded a freight train, heading straight for Serang at the western end of Java Island.

Naturally, they can't get on the train from the train station, but let the truck run parallel to the train, and the two sides maintain basically the same speed, and then jump from the truck to the flatbed of the freight train.

Afterwards, the agent of the Intelligence Service Batavia Station driving the truck will return on its own.

The freight train with hundreds of tank cars and flatbed cars was traveling very slowly. It was only [-] kilometers from Batavia to Serang, but it ran for nearly three hours.

In fact, due to the mediocre rule efficiency of the Dutch East Indies, Zhou Changfeng and his party could even go to Serang to find a restaurant for dinner if they changed into casual clothes now, but everyone obviously wasn't so big-hearted.

So after jumping off the slow train, a group of people rushed directly to the beach, all the way to the meeting point scheduled by the intelligence department.

Everyone compared the map provided by the Intelligence Department with the local tourist map to find the target location, and they didn't connect until noon.

Afterwards, they were led to a pier, where one, one, and two speedboats were moored.

The two speedboats started one after another, the roar of the engine sounded, and the snow-white waves floated on the sea surface at the stern of the boat.

The blue sea, the blue sky, the sea and the sky in the distance, the beautiful scenery of Nanyang is still commendable, and being in it makes Zhou Changfeng a little lost.

Everyone headed all the way to the scheduled meeting point according to the direction of the magnetic compass, and continuously fired signal flares into the sky while approaching.

"Look, over there!" Shen Yu reacted the fastest.

I saw a yellow signal flare rising in the distance on the right hand side, which was conspicuous even at noon.

Zhou Changfeng picked up the binoculars and saw a slender submarine floating on the surface of the sea. There were several sailors standing on the command tower, and several people were standing next to the deck guns. It seemed that they were ready for battle.

One, one, and one small two speedboats immediately turned around, speeding up and approaching.

As they got closer, the faces of the sailors became clearer.

Everyone was hanging around, wearing a vest instead of a hat.

For any branch of the military, this is a disorganized military, which will be beaten by the chief and recorded by the military police, but the submarine soldier is an exception.

For this branch with a high mortality rate and a harsh service environment, it is almost inevitable to give special treatment in all aspects.

On the deck, a cheerful-looking officer cupped his fists and said, "Are you the leader of the team, Commander Zhou? I'm Xia Lingsu, the acting captain of Lixiajia No. [-]."

"Yes." Zhou Changfeng nodded, and said with a smile, "This time, it's up to you to send us back."

"Okay, take it easy, take care of it and return home safely."

What made Zhou Changfeng more curious was that the vests these submariners wore were orange and white wide stripes?
Vests have a very long history in China, dating back to the Han Dynasty; and for post-Ming naval forces, they are actually used to white vests, and striped vests have been used for nearly [-] years.

Striped shirts, also known as sea soul shirts, originated in the Brittany region of France in the early nineteenth century. The design of blue and white stripes is said to make it easier to spot sailors who accidentally fell into the sea.

Later, this practical and convenient navy uniform with blue and white stripes was also introduced into the British Royal Navy. Since then, it has been out of control and quickly swept the world.

The Ming army is relatively grumpy in this regard, and it was not until 26 years ago that the striped design was adopted. For example, the orange-and-white striped vests worn by these submariners are one of them.

Due to the special service environment and the dark interior of the submarine, all members of the submarine team use the orange and white wide stripe design, because it is more conspicuous. Compared with other naval units, only some people will wear this orange and white striped vest.

After a group of people boarded the submarine, the two unremarkable connectors cupped their hands, "Bon voyage."

Zhou Changfeng nodded, and also replied: "You also pay attention to safety."

A moment later, the Lihajia No. [-] submarine turned and headed north at a cruising speed of [-] knots.

By the end of the day, she was more than 140 kilometers away from Java Island.

Although the Dutch East India authorities were secretive, the scandal of the Dutch Indian Army's hip stretching was still not hidden.

At least Director Glenda at Site B learned many details that night and received a preliminary report.

At dusk, several subordinates were called by him, and Agent Jonelle was also present.

"This is an extraordinary surprise attack! We underestimated the Chinese too much, it's unbelievable." Glenda used marvelous and unbelievable to express her views one after another, which can be said to be an extremely high evaluation.

"Yes, sir, I can't imagine that they dare to directly infiltrate the barracks of the Dutch Indian Army."

"According to the investigation, four soldiers were assassinated in the Tadio military camp during the night, including three Javanese soldiers and a Dutch sergeant, before they even had a chance to call for help."

"The three soldiers at the gate of the armory all died from a crossbow bolt containing poison, which was extremely deadly. They died within a few seconds."

"The Dutch sergeant was killed in a strange way. The knife was inserted under the back of the head, so that the cerebellum was destroyed first, and then the brain. The victim could not even move his fingers."

Everyone's words made the atmosphere in the room very dignified, as if encountering a demon.

Director Glenda took a sip of his coffee and pondered: "Compared with them, the team we sent to carry out the raid on the bridges of the Nu River is very amateurish... The Chinese actually have such a professional elite team."

"I think this kind of squad is very useful, especially in times of war. They can carry out various surprise attack missions deep behind enemy lines." Agent Jonelle said seriously: "This time is a good example. a lesson."

Glenda nodded thoughtfully, "We should learn from the lesson, maybe we can also form this kind of professional elite team? I think we can write a detailed report and suggestions."
