Chapter 116: Disguise

"I didn't say I wanted to log in to fight!" Zhang Chi replied.

"It's not that the landing battle, does the colonel want to use the bombing of the plane to make the Japanese surrender?" MacArthur smiled and said, "The colonel has been fighting against the Japanese for a long time. Not to mention that there are so many air defense bunkers on Rabaul. With the Japanese's tenacious combat style, the colonel knows that it is impossible!"

"Zhang..." Halsey asked, "Tell me, what's the solution?"

"We can use the Japanese transport ship to get in!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Transportation ship?" MacArthur and Halsey were stunned when they heard this.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded and continued: "When we were advancing step by step towards Rabaul from both sea and land, it was the time when the Japanese were storing a large amount of ammunition, and this period was likely to be their last time, so there must be a large number of cargo ships and tankers heading to Rabaul!"

"It's right!" Halsey agreed: "Rabauer's fighter jet is about to take off, and the warships must be activated. There must be a lot of gasoline, and the Japanese also need ammunition, so this should be the busiest time for Japanese cargo ships and tankers!"

"Are you going to pretend to be a Japanese?" MacArthur shook his head and looked at Zhang Chi, with a trace of disdain still hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Although you look the same as a Japanese, do you know how to speak Japanese?"

"Won't!"

"Maybe you don't know that Japanese is the hardest to imitate, and they can easily recognize that you are not Japanese!"

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied.

Of course Zhang Chi is clear about this. Being able to speak Japanese is completely different from being able to speak Japanese like Japanese. He is not very skilled in Japanese. After a few words, the Japanese can easily tell whether the other party is Japanese from his accent.

"So..." MacArthur spread his hands at Zhang Chi, and he meant that this plan was over.

However, Zhang Chi replied with a smile: "I didn't say we would pretend to be Japanese!"

The victory expression on MacArthur's face soon turned into doubt.

"Oh, I understand!" At this time, Halsey couldn't help but realize: "You want to disguise yourself as a North Korean, right? That's awesome, this is a good idea!"

Zhang Chi nodded slowly and looked at MacArthur who was shocked on her face and said, "Yes, maybe General MacArthur didn't know that Japan is a country with extremely shortage of resources, so the resources transported to Rabaul are usually not from Japan, but from North Korea, China, Taiwan, the Philippines and other regions. Most of the people responsible for these transportation tasks are Koreans."

MacArthur was still a little unwilling to give up. He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Okay, even if that's the case, it doesn't take so many people to deliver goods, right? It's hard for you to get into Rabaul in large quantities!"

"The Japanese need engineers!" Zhang Chi replied: "If we fight for islands with the Japanese around Rabaul, then the Japanese will need a large number of engineers to build these islands, and they will even plan to build airports on these islands, just like they build airports on Guadao!"

"That's right!" Halsey said: "The Japanese engineers we captured on Gua Island... They are actually Koreans!"

"So, we don't need to know Japanese." Zhang Chi said: "Or it only takes a few simple Japanese... Of course, there is no need to know Korean. Anyway, Japanese people don't know Korean either! Do you think so? General MacArthur!"

A hint of anger flashed in MacArthur's eyes, but he quickly put on a smile and praised: "Good idea, Colonel! General Halsey is right, your suggestions are indeed unique!"

"No, this is not just a unique one!" Halsey seemed to discover a new continent: "This plan is simply great! You must know that we are pretending to be engineers... engineers who build fortifications and carry materials can easily penetrate into various strategic areas, such as underground air defense bunkers, airports, ammunition inventory, etc., and all we have to do is to capture a few Japanese cargo ships and tankers!"

Then Halsey asked MacArthur: "General MacArthur, I think you have no objection to this plan!"

"Of course!" MacArthur nodded: "This is a good plan, but before we make a decision, we have to do a more meticulous reconnaissance work, because..."

As he said that, MacArthur turned his eyes to Zhang Chi and said, "Because many of the Colonel's plans are based on 'conjecture'!"

"Of course!" Zhang Chi naturally would not object to this.

In fact, Zhang Chi is still very confident because only he knows that his plan is not based on "conjecture", but on "history".

So soon, Halsey and MacArthur collected intelligence from all directions and channels.

The Halsey Navy's method of collecting intelligence in this regard is relatively simple, which is to send submarines and reconnaissance planes to reconnaise and take photos on the sea, or to decipher the Japanese code and try every means to dig out some intelligence from it.

There are relatively many intelligence channels on MacArthur's army, mainly because the Allies have received support from local people and even natives. They can use money to obtain intelligence from the people, and even buy natives to act as spies to the US military... Things that can be done with money are not a problem for the US military.

The results obtained quickly verified Zhang Chi's various "conjectures":

The Japanese had been farming in the Rabaul area for a long time, and now it is almost time to harvest, so the Japanese in Rabaul will not worry about food shortage. Moreover, the Japanese did accumulate a large amount of ammunition, and cargo ships and tankers from all directions blocked the port, with ships and personnel loading and unloading everywhere, and the scene was very chaotic. However, this was very beneficial to Zhang Chi's plan, because it meant that Zhang Chi and others could easily get in.

On the other hand, the Japanese seized islands everywhere around Rabaul, and the US reconnaissance planes even discovered that the Japanese built an airport on the new George Island 110 nautical miles from Guadalam...

This surprised Halsey and MacArthur... If the Japanese had the Japanese repaired this airport, then the new George Island would be another Gua Island.

After hearing the news, Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If the Japanese had used this method early, they would have built an airport on an island not far from Guadalam and launched an attack on Guadalam with it as the base?!

If the Japanese army had done this earlier, I was afraid that Guadalam would not have fallen into the hands of the US military at all. (To be continued.)
