My spy diary

Chapter 146: Empty City Strategy (please vote for me)
The atmosphere in the office of Wang Xinheng, deputy chief of the Operations Section, is harmonious.

This time, he was not sitting behind the desk, but sitting with Zhang Yi on the sofa sent by Director Zhang.

He tapped Erlang's legs and leaned comfortably on the backrest, looking like two friends chatting.

"The boss just called to ask about the investigation progress of the Feitian team. I didn't expect you to make a breakthrough here."

"This time, it was mainly because of the strength of my brothers, especially Zheng Huhe from the Intelligence Section, that we were able to catch all the Japanese spies in one fell swoop."

Wang Xinheng said meaningfully: "Do you want to give the credit to the Intelligence Department?"

Zhang Yi carefully organized his words and said:
"The section chief is not the intelligence section, but Zheng Huhe. My subordinates are thinking about whether this person can be transferred here.
In addition, Monkey, Qian Xiaosan and others also performed outstandingly this time, I think so."

"Transfer Zheng Huhe here?" Wang Xinheng raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully:

"It's not impossible, but now is an opportunity."

After a pause, he added: "You may not know yet, but Bao Hongfei from the Intelligence Department is about to become the deputy district chief of North China District."

Zhang Yixin said: Where did you fall and where did you get up?

In early 33, Japan began to attack Jehol in order to establish the so-called "Puppet Manchukuo". In order to stabilize the situation in North China, Chang needed information from North China urgently. At this time, the Secret Service established the North China District.

Deputy Director Zheng Mingyuan also serves as the district chief of North China District, unifiedly organizing the special agents of all provinces and cities in North China, and using the name of the colonel staff officer of the Peking Branch of the Military Commission as a cover to the outside world.

However, Zheng Mingyuan was notoriously timid and fearful of death in the Secret Service, and was unwilling to go north at all. Later, under the pressure of Chang and Dai Chunfeng, he bit the bullet and stayed in Gubei for two days to arrange the intelligence team and radio station. After that, he hurried back.

Later, because Wang Tianlin, the person in charge of the Tianjin Station, and Chen Gongshu, the person in charge of the Peking War, worked together to assassinate the traitor Zhang Jingyao, Wang Tianlin became the district chief of North China District.

"Who is the new deputy section chief?"

"Fei Tongze."

Zhang Yi secretly frowned. This person is the deputy section chief of the Party and Government Section (which consists of the detection and prevention section, the aerial inspection section, the red party section, the economic section, and the core is the red party section). Now he is the deputy section chief of the intelligence section. Dai Chunfeng has What's the intention?

Also, the rumors have no impact on Bao Hongfei?

It is impossible to say that there is no influence. His position as deputy district chief feels a bit like a distribution, but he has not lost Dai Chunfeng's trust.

There is an old saying that goes like this: "Observe loyalty from a distance, and observe respect from up close." Send people far away to observe their loyalty, and put people close to you to see if they behave themselves.

On the other hand, those who are placed far away must be loyal and reliable, while those who stay close to them must be well-behaved.

Of course, who knows what Dai Chunfeng thinks?

According to the logic of the circle, what is the core circle? If you want to sort it, your relatives first, then your fellow villagers, then your disciples, and finally the people you promote.
Similarly, if you want to break into someone's inner circle, you must plan according to these four relationships.
His face was calm and he muttered:
"Section Chief, now that the Feitian Team has been basically destroyed, the subsequent interrogations and searches will be handed over to Yang Wenxuan and Liu Kui of the Operations Section to finish them off."

This is something Zhang Yi has thought about a long time ago. After all, one person cannot take all the credit and benefits, and he cannot take all the credit for anything he does. When there are benefits, he must give others a share of the pie, so as not to take on the grudges, etc. When you lose power, others will not add insult to injury...

This is the philosophy of how to deal with people, as the saying goes: "You are in the first year of junior high school, and I am in the fifteenth year of junior high school. You eat meat and I drink soup."

Wang Xinheng looked at him deeply: "Okay, they just happen to be idle."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Yun Yi, you are the one who makes me feel reassured."

Zhang Yi looked modest: "You are too generous. I have achieved some results in my humble position, but it was not under your leadership."

Wang Xinheng's eyebrows flashed, he smiled, took an invitation from the side and said:
"Deputy Director Zheng has called Li Rentao. You should be able to see him tonight."

"It just so happens that you should go to this place to see it."

'Where? '

Zhang Yi took the invitation with a suspicious look on his face and saw several big characters written on it: Jinling Hotel.

"Li Rentao's travels are very regular. In addition to training soldiers in the army, he goes home on time on Saturdays to accompany his wife and children. On Sundays, he goes out regularly to borrow European and American military books from the Central Library."

"He is a very low-key person. Every time he goes to the library, he wears casual clothes and only brings one guard with him."

Listening to Qian Xiaosan's report, Zhang Yi nodded lightly. He had a fixed travel schedule, which gave "Nightingale" the opportunity to contact him.

"Why did he attend the drinking party here tonight?"

"It was a housewarming party held by a colleague studying in Germany from the Ministry of Interior."

"Oh," Zhang Yi nodded, looking at the brightly lit Jinling Hotel not far away.

Well-dressed dignitaries and ladies came in and out, well-dressed gentlemen were chatting and laughing, pot-bellied officials were teasing and chatting with modern girls, uniformly dressed waiters shuttled among the crowd carrying champagne and wine, flowers, wine, and fragrance. Overflowing, drunken and luxurious.

This seems to be another world, not very related to his work, but who knows what kind of dangers and conspiracies are hidden in such a life of luxury and luxury.

Zhang Yi straightened his clothes and glanced at the camera on the monkey's chest:
"I'll go in first. You guys can find a way to sneak in. Pay attention to every woman who comes into contact with Li Rentao and find Nightingale."

"At the same time, be careful to see if anyone is peeping in the dark."

After all, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. What if there is more than one nightingale?

Zhang Yi showed his invitation and entered the gorgeous banquet hall. He saw a variety of delicacies placed on the Western-style dining table. A group of well-dressed officials and gentlemen were chatting on the terrace not far away. The ladies and ladies on the side were listening. , giggling from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm. Zhang Yi took the champagne from the waiter, found a hidden corner, and observed the crowd while eating.

Soon he found Li Rentao in the crowd. Standing next to him was a woman in white clothes and black skirt, with eyebrow-length hair and a pure student look. She was tall and tall, and she was talking passionately at the moment. Li Rentao seemed a little impatient and perfunctory.

'nightingale? '

Zhang Yi secretly took a few glances. The weapons of beautiful women are often not pistols or daggers, but their flower-like faces, tender eyes, and exquisite convex and concave figures.
Everyone has desires, sometimes it’s women, sometimes it’s money, sometimes it’s power
How many people can do the so-called "without desire, be strong"?
Once desire expands, gets out of control, or breaks through the bottom line, it is likely to lead to disaster.
Zhang Yi held a wine glass, strolled in the courtyard, and slowly approached Li Rentao.

"Ms. Guo, I'm very busy and have to go back to the army soon. Also, please don't send any more gifts to my family."

"Oh, General Li, the little girl just admires heroes like the general. Why is the general so ignorant of amorous feelings?"

She was answered with a cold snort and silence, and Li Rentao was wary of this unexpected beauty.
Miss Guo's expression on the opposite side also turned cold. She first met and struck up a conversation in the library, but she didn't expect that Li Rentao was lukewarm to a beauty like her. He refused all invitations to her to dance and drink coffee on the grounds that he had a wife waiting at home.

At first, Ms. Guo thought this man was a prude. After all, she had seen a lot of men's ways of indulgence.

But after hitting a wall twice in a row, she realized that this was a guy who didn't understand the charm, so she paid attention to his family.

In addition to taking the initiative to visit her home, she also bought many gifts for Li Rentao’s wife...

But she didn't expect that Li Rentao rarely talked about work after returning home, and his family didn't understand his work at all...

And her enthusiasm aroused Li's vigilance even more, and he told the concierge that Miss Guo was not allowed to enter in the future.

This shocked Ms. Guo, who had always been known for her beauty and was always successful with men. She wanted to have further contact through the cocktail party today, but she didn't want to.
Zhang Yi smiled secretly in his heart, walked up quickly and greeted:
"So Senior Nin Tao is here, and this is my wife? Doesn't it look like it? Could it be that Senior Nin Tao just returned to China and has learned how to hide his beauty in a golden house?"

Zhang Yi's uninvited guest made both parties frown.

"you are?"

Li Rentao looked at Zhang Yi. Since he called him senior, he probably had some students studying in Germany, but he didn't have the slightest impression of this young man.

"Senior Ren Tao, you are so forgetful. We were talking about military affairs in the library of the German Army Staff University."

"Really?" Li Rentao frowned and thought. It seemed that there was such a thing, but there were more people chatting with him in the library.
"Senior, can you take a step to speak?" Zhang Yi made the invitation while looking at "Miss Guo" coldly:
"Miss, our senior brother Li has a good wife, so don't waste your efforts. Over there"

He pointed to a few potbellied officials on the terrace and said:
"Miss Guo may have an appetite for them"

Miss Guo's face turned green with anger, she snorted coldly, and walked away on high heels.
Seeing that the "sticky dog-skin plaster" was finally gone, Li Rentao said gratefully:
"Thank you, junior. I really can't deal with women. By the way, what level of international student is junior?"

"General Li, let's get acquainted again with Zhang Yi, Chief of the Secret Service's Spy Unit." Zhang Yi smiled and extended his hand.

"Secret Service? Are you spying on me?" Li Rentao's face darkened and he looked around cautiously.

"What do you call surveillance? Deputy Director Zheng should have called General Li, right?" Zhang Yi took a step closer to block his view and whispered:

"General Li, stop looking. I'm the only one here. Shouldn't we reminisce enthusiastically now? Miss Guo is watching us not far away!"

"Zheng Mingyuan?" Li Rentao sneered, but his expression softened.

Zhang Yi understands his attitude. After all, Deputy Director of the Secret Service Zheng Mingyuan said he was going to study in Germany, but in fact he was sent out by Boss Dai to investigate. What was the investigation? The construction of the German fascist secret service.
"You also doubt this Miss Guo?" Li Rentao pondered, and then said:
"Forget it, if you don't look for me, I will look for you to be courteous for nothing, either raping or stealing. This woman is probably here for the chemical unit."

"But don't worry, she didn't get any of the army's secrets."

"Of course I trust the general's character, but I hope she can get it." Zhang Yi said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

"This Miss Guo is a Japanese spy. Naturally, sending her here is a honey trap against the general. Why don't we follow their intentions, hide the truth from the enemy, and create a trap for her?"

"Empty City Plot? Do you mean to ask me to deliberately leak information to her?"

"Yes, it's just false information.
I don't know much about chemical troops, but I understand that the general has only one regiment. Why don't we exaggerate and let the Japanese 'know' that China's chemical troops are powerful?
In addition to Jinling, there are several regiments in other places. They are equipped with advanced equipment, including the most advanced weapons from Germany, and they have even been receiving guidance from German experts."

"After the Japanese get this information, they will definitely invest a lot of manpower and material resources in preventing chemical weapons. Just distributing gas masks to hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers is a big expense, right?"

Li Rentao was very interested, but still frowned and said:
"Can they believe it?"

"The tactics of military units depend on your acting skills, General Li.
For example, when you go to the library, your briefcase happens to contain confidential information about the chemical corps."

"If it is only reflected from documents and information, there is no problem." Li Rentao said enthusiastically, but suddenly his expression darkened and he said:
"As far as I know, Japan already has tens of thousands of chemical soldiers, but China is so big that the establishment of a regiment cannot match that of China and Japan. Once China and Japan launch a military operation, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Yi also sighed. Many things are so powerless.
Watching Li Rentao get into a jeep and drive away under the escort of the guards, Miss Guo, who found nothing, got rid of the entanglement of a fat-bellied man and got into a rickshaw in frustration.

"Captain, what should I do? Do you want to arrest someone?"

"Don't be anxious yet." Zhang Yi muttered:

"Follow her, find her residence, and monitor her 24 hours a day."

Since this so-called "Nightingale" is to obtain information, she must have a channel for transmitting information. This is what Zhang Yi is most concerned about.

As for sending a report via radio, it is basically impossible. If it were not an emergency or conditional restrictions, no agent would risk being exposed and send a report for a long time.
If it really got to this point, it must have been because the intelligence was very crucial and he was determined to die.
