Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 400 Difficult Task II
"It may be difficult for the superiors to obtain information about Onodera Nobu from the Pavlov team, because he has already gone to Sweden," Schultz said.

Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "Harbin should be a very important intelligence point for them. Otherwise, there would not be so many Polish intelligence personnel here. They should receive training and receive tasks in Harbin. Also, your superiors instructed you to pay attention to the Polish consulate. , Poland has been occupied for more than a year, but why the Polish consulate in Harbin has not been cancelled?”

Schultz nodded. It seems that the superiors also obtained some information from other channels that the Japanese used people from Poland and the three Baltic countries to weave intelligence networks.

Lao Zhang paused for a while and then said: "If it was only because of Onodera, the superior would not have sent me here to meet you. The superior sent me to meet you mainly to keep Shikov from the reliable information he got from Tokyo. Shikov has secretly returned to Harbin."

Liushikov was once sent by the northern power to Khabarovsk to be responsible for intelligence work in the Far East, which means that he is the supreme leader of the northern power in the Far East.

But what no one expected was that Liushikov suddenly defected to Manchuria and confessed to the Japanese all the intelligence networks he had deployed in Manchuria.

In a short period of time, hundreds of intelligence personnel lurking in Manchukuo were captured by the Japanese, and the intelligence network of the northern power in Manchukuo was almost wiped out.

Only a few top-secret intelligence groups directly under the top leadership of the National Security Agency, like Schultz, survived.

"I should also thank you. In order to protect your intelligence team, Lushikov's superiors evacuated several intelligence personnel who had been in contact with you a few months before Lushikov's defection. Otherwise, I would probably be arrested by the Japanese. "Old Zhang said.

"If that's the case, I'm in danger," Schultz said.

"But I didn't get any news about Ryushikov," Schulz said.

If Qian Xiaobao got news from Lyushikov, he would definitely tell him.When Liushikov defected to Manchuria, Qian Xiaobao told Schultz as soon as he got the news.After losing contact with his superiors, Schulz left Manchukuo and returned to Germany in order to protect himself and return home.

"The superior instructed you to use your intelligence agent to find him!" Lao Zhang said.

A traitor must never be let go, especially someone like Lushikov who has caused huge losses to the organization.

Schultz remained silent.He disagreed with this instruction from his superiors.

The light in the room was too dim, and Lao Zhang couldn't see Schultz's gloomy face clearly.

It has been more than a year since Lushikov defected, and all the secrets he knows should have been revealed to the Japanese.Finding Liushikov and even killing him now is not to stop the loss but for revenge and the face of the State Security Administration.

But the Japanese who defected at the level of Liushikov will definitely protect them strictly. Is it appropriate for Qian Xiaobao to inquire about Liushikov?

"Is it worthwhile to find out about Rushikov's whereabouts if it puts my agents in danger?" Schultz asked.

Is it worth it to lose a very valuable intelligence agent for vengeance?

"The higher-ups instructed to find Liushikov at all costs! This is an instruction from the supreme leader!" Lao Zhang said decisively.

Lyushkov is the highest-ranking official who defected from the northern power, and Lyushkov must die!
Since this is the case, Schultz can only nod to accept the task.

Indeed, to issue such a task does require sending someone to discuss with Schultz in detail.

Five minutes later, Schultz walked out of the back room, took the bundled medicine package handed over by the clerk, hurried out of the pharmacy and disappeared into the crowd of Baza City.

Lao Zhang also walked out of the back room and said to the pharmacy owner and the staff: "I will immediately arrange a secret channel for the two of you to evacuate Manchukuo immediately!"

These two people have met Schultz today, and they must be removed in order to protect the safety of Pavlov's intelligence team.

Schultz did not go back to the clinic immediately after he walked out of Baza City. He strolled to the Songhua River.

A thin layer of ice formed on the Songhua River, and there was hardly a person on the edge of the river.

This is the quietest time of the year on the Songhua River. Because of the ice, boats cannot go on it, and pedestrians cannot drive because the ice is too thin.

In another month, the trucks will be able to cross the river directly on the ice.It will also become a paradise for children, rowing sledges and playing spinning tops.

Schultz took a letter from his coat pocket, opened it and read it again.

The letter was written to Schulz by her parents in Germany, and it said that Suskina had returned home.

Two years ago, Schultz took the initiative to approach Suskina in order to inquire about the intelligence of the Asano unit composed of Russians in Manchukuo organized by the Japanese. The purpose was to get close to Suskina's younger brother, a soldier in the Asano unit.

Later, Schulz sent Suskina to Germany on the grounds of marrying Suskina.But when Schulz returned to Germany, Suskina was married to a German pilot.

Schultz's father said in the letter that the plane driven by Suskina's husband was blown up by the British over London.

Suskina, who lost her dependence and financial resources, had to go back to Schultz's parents' home and beg the two old people to take her in.

Schultz didn't hate Suskina but felt guilty.In fact he took advantage of Suskina twice.

The first time was to get close to her younger brother to get information, and the second time she evacuated Manchukuo under the pretext of going back to Germany to marry Suskina.

Suskina's husband must have been a good German pilot, and the British soldiers who shot him down must be good too.

The worst thing about war is that the best, bravest and most willing to sacrifice are put into the meat grinder, while the timid, cowardly, mean and shameless people are left behind.

Schultz received a difficult task today, but he was unwilling to let Qian Xiaobao take the risk.

Most importantly, Schultz felt it wasn't worth the risk.All the people Lyushikov wanted to betray had already been sold out, so what if he was allowed to live for a few more days?
As an intelligence officer, it is his bounden duty to resolutely obey orders, and his superiors specially sent Lao Zhang to Harbin to convey this order from the highest level of superiors.

Schultz stood by the river and smoked one after another. He watched the sun slant before turning back to the clinic.

Hannah saw Schultz come in and didn't stand up to greet him.Hannah, with a slightly raised belly, was much more careful in her actions than before.

Schultz noticed that Hannah's temper had also changed. She now liked to chatter with Schultz about things in life, such as the newly bought coal with too many coal stones, and she wanted to eat butter now.

Schultz sat down and smiled at Hannah, who had become chattering.

"Well done, Comrade Schultz, a man who can endure a woman's nagging is a good man. You have improved again!"

In the dark, Schultz seemed to hear Qian Xiaobao praising him.
