Chapter 604
When Gu Qi heard Zuo Zhong's arrangement for him and Wu Chunyang, he nodded slightly. Dividing them into two groups, light and dark, could really confuse the German intelligence agency, so as not to be targeted by the opponent's counterintelligence department.

He recalled the various cruise lines in his mind, and couldn't help frowning: "How to arrange the specific itinerary, there are not many cruise ships going to Europe now, and most of them belong to Japanese companies.

The mission we carried out involved armament manufacturing. If the news leaked out, the Japanese would not allow us to retrieve the designs. They would definitely find ways to destroy them. Taking their boat would be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth. "

"Well, you're right."

Zuo Zhong was satisfied with his cautiousness, and then sneered: "But it's still too polite, when the government can keep the secret, the Japanese must have got the news.

Coupled with the MG08 heavy machine gun and 75mm howitzer, the performance completely suppresses the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 92 infantry gun. With the style of the Japanese military, how can they sit still. "

Speaking of which, he took out a cruise schedule and pointed to one of them: "This is the French ship Antlepont, which was launched in 1913. The ship is not too old, and it is dedicated to the Far East route.

The ship is 161 meters long, 18.8 meters wide, 13200 tons, and has a speed of 17 knots. If all goes well, it will only take about 35 days from Shanghai to Marseille, a port in southern France, which is much faster than Japanese cruise ships.

The most important thing is that it is the only cruise ship with luxurious suites on the Asia-Europe route. Mao Yike represents the country on this trip, and according to the big hand of the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he will definitely choose this ship. "

"That's right, it's at public expense anyway."

Gucci replied with a smile, looking down at the route, the Antlepon boarded the ship from Shanghai Wharf, passing through Hong Kong City, Saigon, Singapore, Colombo, Djibouti and Istanbul.

After staying in Istanbul for a few days, they sailed to Marseille, where Zuo Zhong and others disembarked and took the train to Germany, and they changed to other cruise ships to go to the UK to get rid of possible stalkers.

Zuo Zhong continued to introduce the plan at the side: "You need to use Hong Kong City's documents to enter the UK, and the Hong Kong City Station will provide necessary assistance, but it is best to change the documents to Japanese when you arrive in France.

There are many Japanese doing business in Europe, which is more common than Chinese people. Remember, if you are caught, you will be killed by a Japanese. You must not reveal your real identity. Old Gu, this is very important. "

His expression was very serious. The Republic of China urgently needed military assistance from the Germans. If the actions of the Secret Service led to the breakdown of bilateral relations, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.

"I understand, Deputy Director."

Gu Qi stroked his hair, and his tone was very indifferent: "Not many people can survive the torture, I will let everyone carry poison with them, be prepared to be benevolent, and not give the enemy a chance to catch alive.

We will also put some Japanese-style items in the luggage. At that time, we will try our best to lead the investigators' eyes in the wrong direction. There will always be such a day in this business, don't worry.

It's just that I want to ask you for someone, Shen Dongxin, who has studied at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy and knows the situation in France better than all the operatives, and he can be used in both operations and retreats. "

"Okay, let's get ready."

Hearing this, Zuo Zhong immediately agreed to the other party's request. It's good to have a local snake as a guide, at least when dealing with the locals, he won't show his flaws because of some low-level mistakes.

There are many examples of this in intelligence warfare.

For example, there are many one-way streets in the UK. These streets have no sidewalks and no traffic lights. After a long time, the British have developed the habit of checking left and right before crossing the road to see if there is a car.

A Red Russian spy made a mistake in this. He crossed the road in an "atypical" way, was discovered by the police and reported to the British military intelligence department, and caused huge losses to Red Russia.

Is this an exaggeration?

Not an exaggeration.

Spies have undergone rigorous training and know how to hide themselves, but as long as they are humans, they will be lazy. After leaving a tense environment, it is easy for people to relax their vigilance and leak secrets.

Sometimes the victory or defeat can be decided in an instant, Zuo Zhong thought of this unlucky colleague, and while arranging matters related to the operation, he secretly told himself to be cautious and not make the same mistake.

A few days later, in a small building.

Dong Qiang, the little brother Zuo Zhong met when he was lurking in the tea shop, stood in the dark hall and swallowed his saliva. As soon as he returned to the firm this morning, he was called to the office by the manager.

The other party notified that a big man wanted to see him at night, and also gave him an address, asking him to go alone after get off work, and he could not disclose this matter to anyone, even his relatives at home.

The big man, who could it be? Could it be the boss behind the scenes of the firm? Dong Qiang thought of this possibility. He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that the so-called information officer is the eyeliner in the storybook.

To be able to open a firm in Jinling and employ so many people, he must be a big man with all-hands and eyes. The question is, why should he meet himself? He has nothing worth using.

Suddenly, a desk lamp was lit in the empty hall, and a desk appeared under the dim light. There seemed to be something on the desk, which aroused Dong Qiang's attention and vigilance.

He only hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over, and then saw an envelope with a few words clearly written on it—Dong Qiang personally signed it, it turned out to be a letter for himself.

Who put the letter here?
Where are the big shots?
But since his name is written, let's open it and have a look. Dongqiang's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so he tore off the seal carelessly, took out the letter paper inside, and checked it with the light of the desk lamp.

"Tomorrow, we will go to the Hong Kong City Police Station to lurk and wait for the wake-up. The wake-up code is Equator. The ID will be provided by the Hong Kong City response personnel. Without an order, do not contact Jinling without authorization. After reading it, it will be destroyed."

He sent himself to lurk in the Hong Kong City Police Station. Dong Qiang was excited and at the same time a little uneasy after reading it. His father was unfortunately killed while fighting pirates on Hong Kong Island. It was not a good place.

But to become a master, one has to pay something. His gaze gradually became firm, he took out the match on his body and ignited the letter paper, watched it turn into a pile of ashes, turned and left the small building.

"Crackle. Pom."

As the door of the house was closed, someone whispered in the darkness: "This man's father has participated in the Huayong team and has inextricable connections with the British. He is very suitable for the requirements of the action."

"Keep an eye on it, if the fish gets off the hook or shows signs of defection, deal with it immediately, Lao Song, you have to pay attention to this matter, it is related to the future plans of the Secret Service." Another person said slowly.

"Yes, Deputy Director."

After the two voices talked for a few words, Xiaokou fell into silence. At this point, Zuo Zhong's trip to Germany entered the countdown. In the complex international intelligence battlefield, there are new challenges waiting for him.

Just as Zuo Zhong expected, the Japanese had already obtained the information that the Nationalist Government had sent people to Germany to receive the weapons patterns, which aroused the great attention of the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters.

1924-style standard rifle.

MG08 heavy machine gun.

75mm howitzer.

These three weapons are better than the weapons equipped by the basic infantry combat units of the Japanese army. No one knows better than those high-achieving students from the Lu University who wear chrysanthemum and star badges in the General Staff Headquarters.

In the words of some young and energetic officers, the weapon designers of the Empire of Japan are all standard non-citizens, and they should all be damned, so as not to let the army soldiers die in vain.

Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army has had enough of the losses of local weapons, and countless warriors have hated Jiuquan. Those anti-human things are simply not something that can be imagined by human brains.

Have you ever seen a light machine gun loaded with five rounds of magazines, a light machine gun that reloads while reloading, a light machine gun that stops cooling after firing two or three hundred rounds, they have seen it.

— Taisho 11-type light machine gun.

Have you ever seen a heavy machine gun with only 55.3 rounds of ammunition, a heavy machine gun with a total weight of [-] kilograms, and a heavy machine gun that requires four people to carry it when maneuvering? They have seen it too.

— Type [-] heavy machine gun.

If the Chinese army is fully equipped with German-made cutting-edge weapons, once a war breaks out between China and Japan, the firepower of the imperial army will not be able to form an overwhelming advantage, and it will not be possible to achieve a quick victory.

After deduction, the staff members expressed that the manpower and material resources of the Great Japanese Empire may not be able to bear this result. Now not only the Japanese General Staff Headquarters could not sit still, even the locusts were alarmed.

Meetings, non-stop meetings.

Relevant heads of the Japanese Ministry of Army, Navy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. gathered together, arguing with each other, and pushing back and forth, and finally discussed a decision, and the Ministry of the Army sent people to intercept it.

This is not surprising at all. The weapons accepted by the government cannot threaten ships, let alone affect the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No one wants to put precious intelligence resources in Europe. The risk is too high.

The meeting broke up unhappily, and the generals of the Army Staff Headquarters came back with a dark face, and used the spies trained at a huge price. Even thinking about it made them feel distressed, damn the navy red deer.

Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen, chief of staff headquarters, looked relaxed, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, walked leisurely into the meeting room of the staff headquarters, sat down and looked around.

The youngest field marshal in Japan saw the expressions of his subordinates and laughed: "You don't have to worry, I have already communicated with Hirota Koki and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for assistance.

The imperial embassy in Germany will send special high-level personnel to collect relevant information. The Ministry of the Army will let Doihara of the Kwantung Army send people. He has many elites who are good at this job. "

The generals' eyes lit up. The intelligence support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kwantung Army's operations should be foolproof. It doesn't matter even if all the operatives die.

The matter was settled, and everyone present returned to their former majesty, and they all expressed their compliments to His Excellency the Prince. The staff headquarters was full of joy, and it looked like a beaming scene.
