Chapter 498: Military Industry and Talent

Soon, Zhang Lei set a new goal for himself—military technology and various talents.

After identifying the target, Zhang Lei immediately dispatched people throughout Japan to collect information on the military industry and various talents.

As the saying goes, what was the most lacking thing in the 20th century? Talent, talent, and damn talent.

Only by mastering all kinds of talent can a force truly develop. Although Zhang Lei's system shop offers a wide variety of talents, those who are robbed are free, so why not take them? Besides, some things are better destroyed than left to the enemy.

Before long, Zhang Sanshi had found out and compiled the specific addresses and details of Japan's eight major military industrial companies.

The most important military industrial enterprises and their core factories are as follows:

Mitsubishi Group (New Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Zosen): Nagasaki Shipyard, Nagoya Air Base (fighter jets and warships)

Kawasaki Group (Kawasaki Aircraft Industries): Gifu Prefecture, Kobe (Aircraft Manufacturing)

Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (IHI): Tokyo Plant, Kure Shipyard (shipbuilding)

Tokyo Shibaura Electric (Toshiba): Tokyo, Yokohama (Military radar and electronic equipment)

Mitsubishi Electric: Tokyo, Nagoya (Military electronics and missiles)

Nikon Industries, Ltd. (Japan): Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture (Military optical equipment)

Howa Industries: Kiyosu City, Aichi Prefecture (Firearms)

Japan Steel Works: Muroran, Hokkaido (Artillery)

The above eight companies are the core pillars of Japan's current military-industrial complex.

This time, Zhang Lei tried a different approach.

He directly selected 3,000 special forces soldiers from the space to change into Japanese military uniforms, and then transferred another 1,000 to wear Eagle Army uniforms. All of them were fully armed, and Zhang Lei personally led the team to openly and legitimately break into the base under the pretext of a surprise inspection and arrest of those who sabotage the military base.

This blatant entry not only failed to arouse any suspicion, but because it was carried out under the banner of the United States, the Japanese, as an annex, did not even dare to resist.

To everyone's astonishment, Zhang Lei and his group tied up everyone in the military factory, closed the gate, and in front of everyone, put all the equipment into their spatial storage, leaving not even a single screw behind.

Finally, he put all the people inside into his space—after all, someone still needed to do the work.

Some people might ask, what if they refuse to work?

You should definitely learn about the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, Zhang Lei openly and legitimately emptied out the eight major military industrial enterprises and took them all into his own space.

It wasn't until three days later that someone noticed something was wrong, and the incident instantly caused a sensation throughout Japan.

This was almost their entire military industrial base, all gone in an instant, cutting off the source of subsequent equipment for their own troops.

On the other hand, Zhang Lei used the remaining tens of billions of yen to make deals with Japanese gangsters, targeting university professors and experts from various fields at prestigious universities, even kidnapping their families and taking them all away.

Police received a series of kidnapping reports but did not receive any ransom money.

The entire Japanese National Police Agency was mobilized to search for the hostages, but all efforts were in vain, and not a single clue was found.

The reason for this was that when Zhang Lei was making a deal with the gang, he also double-crossed them, arresting all the gang members involved.

How was it caught?

When tens of thousands of people suddenly appear out of nowhere and surround you, each armed with a weapon, who wouldn't be afraid?

Those gangsters were so terrified they almost wet themselves; they couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

Once the group was brought into the space, Zhang Lei immediately ordered that all gang members be dealt with on the spot.

Once scientists, experts, professors, and their families enter Zhang Lei's space, they are trapped inside forever, with no chance of ever leaving.

When Zhang Lei returned to Tokyo with Aokiko and over a hundred other beautiful women, three months had passed. By then, Tokyo had returned to a semblance of calm.

During this time, through interaction and communication, Zhang Lei discovered that the loyalty levels of the more than one hundred people, including Qing Muzi, were generally above eighty. Zhang Lei tested them one by one with his True Eye, and several of them, such as Qing Muzi, Aoi, and Ozawa, even achieved a perfect score of one hundred in loyalty.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Zhang Lei quickly settled them in. Then, he went outside and released the three people with British citizenship whom he had selected from his spatial storage. He instructed them to take the money and, through underground channels, obtain a British green card for himself to prove his identity.

After the three left, Zhang Sanshi approached Zhang Lei and said with a smile, "Boss, I've found that Yasukuni Shrine you mentioned, the place that enshrines some people. When are we going to make our move?"

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Let's do it tonight. We should leave tomorrow."

As he spoke, Zhang Lei whispered instructions in Zhang Sanshi's ear. Zhang Sanshi was so shocked by Zhang Lei's words that he couldn't speak, repeatedly asking, "Boss, are you sure you really want to do this?"

Zhang Lei said somewhat angrily, "Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhang Sanshi looked back every few steps, his face extremely troubled.

When Zhang Lei returned to the hotel, he saw that Qing Muzi and the others were still waiting for him. He smiled and hugged them.

Zhang Lei has been incredibly happy these past few days. Before, he could only lie in bed and watch adult films on his phone; now he can personally enjoy the services of the characters in those films, and it's all authentic. Zhang Lei's actions have indirectly led to a significant drop in the production of related films in Japan.

The next morning, Zhang Lei and everyone boarded a flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong.

Because the group was led by people from the United States, and Zhang Lei held an American passport, the group boarded the plane smoothly.

The moment the plane took off, Zhang Lei looked out the window and a violent explosion rang out. Sitting on the plane, he looked out through binoculars and saw that the entire city of Tokyo was in chaos.

Not long after, the plane landed at Hong Kong Airport.

Having received advance notice, Ye Shuqin and the others were already waiting for Zhang Lei's return in the airport waiting area.

But when everyone saw the large group of people following behind Zhang Lei, Ye Shuqin and the other fifteen of Zhang Lei's wives were all dumbfounded.

They remembered that Zhang Lei only said he was going on a trip, but how come he brought back other people's "local specialties" after the trip?

Zhang Lei was overjoyed to see his wives and wanted to give them a warm hug. After all, he had missed them terribly after so long. But Ye Shuqin and the others simply ignored him.

Zhang Zhiqiang, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive and immediately arranged for Qingmuzi and more than a hundred others to be put in other vehicles.

Zhang Lei stood there stunned as he watched Ye Shuqin and the others turn and leave.
