Chapter 295 The Mysterious Liu Molong
Thinking of this, Cai Yong's dissatisfaction and complaints gradually dissipated, but he still refused to give up. He frowned and said to Yang Hong with an indignant look on his face, "Fifth brother, I just feel that this matter is so unfair! For Zhang Jizhong and his men, as well as for those soldiers who once fought alongside us through life and death, it is such an injustice!"
Hearing this, Yang Hong smiled slightly and responded slowly, "If they died in battle, would you say the same thing? Their sacrifice this time can save countless soldiers from dying in battle and making sacrifices in the future. Would you still think it's unfair to them?"
Then, Yang Hong showed a mysterious smile on his face, and continued in a low voice: "Besides, how can you be so sure that they will die?"
Cai Yong was shocked when he heard this. He quickly approached Yang Hong and asked in a low voice, "Fifth Brother, are you planning to secretly tamper with the execution? But you have to know that this is a decision made by the top leaders of the Flower Planting Family! Even if you really did this, how can you be sure that you can avoid their strict investigation?"
Yang Hong was too lazy to continue arguing with Cai Yong. He lowered his voice and said, "A few months ago, I attended a high-level meeting of the Flower Planting Family with my eldest brother and second brother, and was later received by the leader. There are some things that I can't tell you for the time being. Just pay attention to the time."
"According to the arrangement, you will soon assume the position of Deputy Commander of the Marine Corps, and someone else will be assigned to take over the position of Chief of Staff. You will be stationed in Ryukyu and concurrently serve as Commander of the 112th Army. Your marriage to Elena must be finalized as soon as possible. Once stationed in Ryukyu, you must boldly engage with the local people and organizations. You may wish to use Elena to attract more capital and organizations from the United States. Your mission is to prevent drastic changes in the international environment and, when necessary, promote independence and become its de facto leader."
Yang Hong ignored Cai Yong's surprise and continued, "Don't worry about anyone trying to deal with you. There are people secretly helping you, and they will come to see you soon. Also, we brothers should not get together again from now on. Perhaps, we will never be reunited again."
Hearing Yang Hong's last words, which were tinged with incomparable sadness, Cai Yong seemed to understand something. He asked anxiously, "What are the arrangements for the boss and the others? What about you?"
Yang Hong shook his head slightly, signaling Cai Yong not to ask, but in order to calm Cai Yong's heart, he whispered: "The eldest brother, the second brother and I will stay in the flower-growing family. You will know the rest later." After that, he lightly pressed the red button on the desk. After a while, his adjutant knocked on the door gently and opened it. A man in black clothes, black hat, and a western-style coat walked in, then hurried out and closed the door.
Cai Yong knew that this was the mysterious man Yang Hong had mentioned, so he turned around and looked at the person who had come in. The collar of the man's western-style coat was turned up, and with the low-pressure hat, it was difficult to see his true face for a moment.
The newcomer was clearly very familiar with both Yang Hong and Cai Yong. He walked forward without hesitation and casually sat down on the chair next to Cai Yong. Just as Cai Yong was somewhat bewildered, he gently took off his hat, opened his eyes, and looked at him with a smile.
"Old Eight, it's you!" Cai Yong exclaimed softly and stood up involuntarily.
Liu Molong appeared very calm. He chuckled at Cai Yong and said, "Why, after just over a year, you don't recognize me, Brother Seven?"
Yang Hong quickly waved and invited the two to sit down. This was not the time to express brotherly affection. He asked Liu Molong, "How are the preparations going?"
Liu Molong replied softly, "What preparations are there? They're just a few Japanese scapegoats. They were arranged long ago."
Yang Hong nodded, turned around, and said to Cai Yong in a deep voice, "I will arrange a substitution for Zhang Jizhong and the others before the execution. Then they will disappear and go underground with Lao Ba. This includes assisting you in completing your mission." Then, with a somewhat grim tone, Yang Hong said, "As for that sergeant and the few soldiers who share the same mentality as the Japs, they must die! Leaving such people behind will be a huge hidden danger."
"Old Eight has retired from the army and is forming an underground force. Cai Yong, there's no need to question this. This was arranged by the Flower Clan. We brothers were all kidnapped by the Flower Clan, and each of us has our own mission."
Amidst Cai Yong's confusion, Liu Molong calmly replied, "Brothers, we traveled through time and space for the future of the Flower Clan. Fifth brother, what are you talking about, kidnapping or not? The Flower Clan's thinking is far more intelligent than our private thoughts."
Liu Molong continued, "Seventh Brother, you, Third Brother, Sixth Brother, and Youngest Brother can all be very free and easy in public. I'm a person who doesn't like to be seen in public. However, I will need to borrow a lot of your time when the time comes. Maybe I will need you to cover for me in some matters."
Yang Hong quickly recounted the Flower Planting Family's plans for his third brother, Qin Shi; his fourth brother, Pu Zhengsong; his sixth brother, Wang Wu; and his youngest brother, Luo Bing. Cai Yong's heart calmed after learning of his brothers' respective missions. Honestly, their arrangements, no matter how they were arranged, were extremely safe and secure, and very comfortable. Even with Liu Molong, who remained in the shadows, the brothers could easily meet and share their resources. But while the eldest brother, Huang Wei, the second brother, Kuang Zhengqi, and Yang Hong might appear to be high-ranking Flower Planting heroes, the Flower Planting Family's long history taught them that soldiers, especially those in high positions, rarely had an easy life in peacetime. Their limited status would necessitate a low profile and restraint in the future, forcing them to remain cautious and timid, afraid to participate in Flower Planting Family politics, or even to show the slightest hint of it.
Seeing the worry and uneasiness in the two brothers' eyes, Yang Hong smiled faintly and said, "As long as you develop well outside and keep up with the pace of the Flower Planting Family, no one can do anything to you. Similarly, my life with the eldest brother and the second brother will be very good. I have a feeling that the arrangements made by the Flower Planting Family elders for the three of us will change. Perhaps, after our final positions are determined, all this will become clear. Don't worry about us. Although we brothers cannot see each other in the future, I believe that our hearts will always be connected."
Liu Molong asked calmly, "Fifth brother, we brothers need to find a way to get together. I'm worried about some of the brothers down there. They might have some ideas."
Yang Hong thought for a moment and replied, "Don't worry too much about that. However, you do have some truth to it. In the past few years, we have trained a lot of people for our original plan. If we don't control these people well, it will have a significant impact on our future mission."
