My spy diary

Chapter 213 Mission (asking for monthly ticket)

"Chief, this is a telegram from Boss Dai."

Back in the safe house, Monkey handed Zhang Yi a telegram he had just received.

Zhang Yi took out the code book he carried with him, translated the telegram, read it silently, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Qian Xinming has sent someone to Wuhan to ask for instructions, hoping to resume working relations, or to use his identity appointed by the Japanese puppet regime as a cover to infiltrate the enemy and continue to provide intelligence to the party and the country. You should suspend the plan to impose sanctions on him."

Monkey and Qian Xiaosan came over curiously to take a look and almost burst into curses.

"How can you believe Qian Xinming's lies? He surrendered to the enemy and implicated so many of his brothers. Now he can cover up everything with a guilty conscience?"

Zhang Yi also felt that Boss Dai was not decisive enough in this matter, and he didn't know what kind of magic potion the representative sent by Qian Xinming had fed him...

Although intelligence work has always been a matter of mutual involvement, if Qian Xinming could really take the opportunity to infiltrate the enemy and obtain intelligence, it would be fine. But the fear is that this person is playing both sides and acting as a double agent, trying to please both sides.

Moreover, once this trend starts, everyone will follow suit. Can everyone defect and then restore their membership in the organization?

Since the July 7 Incident, half of China has been ravaged by the enemy. With the defeat and retreat of the Kuomintang's millions of troops, most of the public agencies controlled by the Military Control Commission retreated westward with the army, and the secret agencies also went into hiding and engaged in espionage activities in the occupied areas.

However, due to the policy of appeasement and anti-red, most agents lacked the ideological, organizational and professional training and material preparation for the struggle against the Japanese, and hurriedly turned to underground work in the true sense. These agents, who usually relied on the power of the ruling class, assisted the tiger and lived a life of luxury, could not adapt to the difficult and arduous underground life at all...

It can be imagined that once someone falls into the water, these underground organizations will soon be exposed and disintegrated under their intimidation, inducement and brutal attacks. After being arrested, they will change their identities and will only help the Japanese and puppet forces to attack the Military Control Commission more fiercely.

Loyalty and treachery cannot coexist. If we fail to make an example of someone and let Qian Xinming go this time, how can we be worthy of those brothers who died?
What's the point of lurking in Jinling?

He was just about to take advantage of the convenience provided by Ichiro Koyama, disguise himself as a maintenance worker at the telephone exchange, and install a bugging device on the telephone in the dormitory of the Japanese Special High Section officers.

The Special High Police could not enter, but the officers' dormitory was guarded by only two guards and the management was not strict.

Zhang Yi specifically observed that there was a telephone line junction box on a utility pole not far from the officers' dormitory. The telephone lines branching out from here were connected to various telephone users in nearby houses. As long as this place was controlled, the telephone in the officers' dormitory could be monitored.

By monitoring phone calls between officers, it is easy to learn some of the secrets of the Special Higher Police.

However, no matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with the changes.

To put it bluntly, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death. No matter how sad, depressed or angry you are, you can't change the outcome.

The level of position determines the importance of the right to speak, and interests become the ultimate goal pursued by everyone.

In order to obtain more resources and benefits, intrigues and deceptions continue to unfold.

The flattery on the surface and the open and covert fighting behind the scenes are all for the purpose of gaining a place in this vortex of interests.

Zhang Yi sighed and said thoughtfully:

"Send back the telegram and tell the boss that according to reliable intelligence, the Japanese Emperor's special envoy Nomura Yoshisaburo has arrived in Nanjing and requested to carry out the killing mission. Please approve it, boss.

In addition, there is a person named Li Shiqun in the Party Affairs Investigation Office who is suspected of colluding with the Japanese. I request that he be sanctioned as well.”

"Yes." Monkey nodded, feeling worried and slightly excited. He glanced at Qian Xiaosan, and as soon as their eyes met, Qian Xiaosan immediately understood what he meant. This meant they were going to do another big thing.

As Zhang Yi expected, Boss Dai quickly agreed to the request to assassinate the Japanese Emperor's special envoy Yoshisaburo Nomura, but he did not mention a word about Li Shiqun.

It's normal to think about it. At that time, Li Shiqun was just a traitor of the Red Party. He didn't even hold any official position in the Party Affairs Investigation Office. It's estimated that Boss Dai has never heard of such a small figure as him.

Zhang Yixin said that this was a good idea. The conditions were right, so he should get rid of this traitor first.

However, the most important task at present is to assassinate the Emperor's special envoy Yoshisaburo Nomura.

If you want to kill someone, the most important thing is to understand the target's activity patterns.

In detail, it involves intelligence gathering, finding weaknesses, making plans, using disguises, creating interference, carrying out assassinations, cleaning up traces, and evacuating safely.
"Chief, the director instructed that we will be the main force in the assassination mission, supplemented by the Jinling hidden area. However, Qian Xinming and Shang Zhensheng have already defected. Although they have now reconnected with the organization, who can guarantee that this is not an enemy strategy? This so-called contact person Wang Gaoke is their former subordinate. What if this person..." Monkey questioned.

Wang Gaoke's previous public identity was a messenger in the Special Police Division of the Jinling Police Department, but he was actually responsible for the liaison with the Zhan brothers lurking in the Japanese Embassy in Jinling.

After Qian Xinming was appointed as the district chief of the hidden area, all their organizational relationships were transferred over, and they were connected through the deputy district chief Shang Zhensheng.

After Wang Gaoke went underground, he used the cover of opening a tobacco, alcohol and grocery store, but was actually responsible for the work of an underground traffic intelligence agent.

"It shouldn't be. The day before the fall of Nanjing, he risked his life to transport a radio transmitter in a wooden barrel filled with soybean oil from Jiangbei to Nanjing, and then reported the news of Qian Xinming's betrayal to the headquarters in time. As for Qian Xinming."

Zhang Yi shook his head. As for whether Qian Xinming and Shang Zhensheng still had a conscience or deliberately left themselves a way out and did not betray Wang Gaoke, who knows...

Perhaps Boss Dai letting the Jinling undercover zone participate in the assassination plan was also a test of their loyalty.

He thought about it and slowed down his tone, then said confidently:

"Don't worry. We only contacted the Zhan brothers through Wang to obtain specific information about the target. Apart from that, we will not have any other lateral contact with them. If the mission is successful, we will withdraw immediately."

"Chief, let me handle today's contact. If I get arrested, you and Qian Xiaosan will leave immediately and plan for the aftermath."

"I'd better go. I, Qian Xiaosan, have only one worthless life. If I can drag a few Japanese and traitors with me before I die, my life will be worth it."

"No need, I'll go there myself. Always think positively and don't scare yourself. No one will get into trouble until the Japanese devils are driven out of China." Zhang Yi smiled casually, then took out a map and began to assign tasks.

In the office of the Japanese Special High Section in Jinling, the head of the Special High Section, Kitayama Tsune, stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood the head of the Special Agents Section, Takagi Shinpei, the head of the Intelligence Section, Huino Keiji, and the head of the Telecommunications Section, Asano Hiroichi.

Just as Takagi Shinpei and his men destroyed a secret liaison station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, they received news that the second secretary of the embassy had been shot dead...

He glanced at the head of the Intelligence Department, Keiji Huino, and knew that he still had to bear the responsibility, even if it was just verbal self-blame, so he spoke first:
"I failed to perform the inspection task for those entering the city and allowed anti-Japanese elements to sneak in. Please punish me, Colonel."

Keiji Huino also stood up and said:
"According to eyewitnesses, the murderer was wearing the uniform of our Japanese soldiers. It seems that this person was well prepared and may have been lurking in the city. This is a mistake made by our intelligence department."

Bei Shanheng waved his hand, turned around, and said, "Victory and defeat are common in the military, it's good to learn from the lesson."

As he said this, he looked at Hirokazu Asano, the head of the Telecommunications Department, and asked:
"You just said that you intercepted a telegram from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Did you decipher it?"

Asano Hiroichi glanced at Takagi Shinpei and Haino Keiji with caution, and said with a sly smile:

“Thanks to the code book provided by Qian Xinming, we have successfully cracked the secret message.

However, the Military Control Commission’s radio station is extremely secretive and is turned on for a short time each time, so we have not yet figured out their exact location…

However, our people have already taken surveillance of several suspected locations and we believe that a breakthrough will be made soon.
As long as the colonel gives the order, the military police will block all nearby exits, and we will search every house, they will definitely not be able to escape.
In addition, a new radio station has recently appeared in the city, but due to the short transmission time, the exact location could not be found."

"Oh, what's the content of the intelligence?" Kitayama Heng asked in surprise.

Asano Hirokazu took out a piece of information from his pocket and handed it over, then pretended to be angry and said:

"This radio station must have been set up by the Military Intelligence Bureau a long time ago, but Qian Xinming and Shang Zhensheng did not mention a word about it. It can be seen that these two people only surrendered temporarily to save their lives. They have no loyalty to the Empire of Japan. Such Chinese people should be punished by heaven just like those "non-citizens" of the Empire. I suggest that they be tortured again to extract a confession."

As he said this, he looked at Takagi Shinpei and Haino Keiji with doubt.

There are also Japanese traitors in Japan, but they are usually called "non-citizens" and the definition is very broad. Anyone who dares to object to those who shout slogans of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" will immediately be classified as a "non-citizen" or "Japanese traitor", and the only fate is to be killed.

Keiji Huino finally couldn't hold back any longer and retorted:
"What do you mean, Mr. Asano? I know that these Chinese can only be used, not trusted, but there is a saying in China that a horse's bones are worth a thousand gold."

Takagi Shinpei also stared and said:
"Are you doubting our loyalty to the Empire?"

Bei Shanheng watched his subordinates bickering without refutation. Now he finished reading the intelligence with great interest and tried to smooth things over:

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, Asano-kun, please be patient.
Before the war began, the military claimed that China could be destroyed in three months...

Although we have occupied the capital of China, it is obviously impossible to achieve this wish from the current situation. If we cannot force Chang to surrender as soon as possible, we must be prepared for a long battle.
Mr. Doi-Yuan advocates using the Chinese to govern the Chinese, and I agree with this view. But Mr. Huiye is right, we can only use them, not trust them, and we must use them and monitor them.

As he spoke, he raised the information in his hand and said with a strange smile:

"According to intelligence, the Military Intelligence Bureau will hold a meeting at 6pm today, which is a good opportunity for Qian Xinming and Shang Zhensheng to participate in it."

"What does the colonel mean?" Takagi Shinpei asked.

"As the Chinese say, dogs bite dogs and they end up with fur in their mouths. We want them to kill each other, not only to stain their hands with blood, but also to let the media of the Empire and neutral countries report it extensively, so that they can never go back and can only work obediently for the Empire.
However, the information must be kept confidential, and no one can leak it before the operation. You three departments must work closely together to catch all the Chinese agents who are in contact."

"Hayi." Takagi Shinpei and the others looked at each other, and saw a competitive look in each other's eyes.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

A sergeant rushed in, glanced at Hirokazu Asano, the head of the Telecommunications Division, and then reported:

"Your Excellency, the radio station we monitored sent a message again. Due to the short time, we were unable to find the prepared location, but we have intercepted the content of the message. It is the code style of the Secret Service, but the previous code book cannot decipher it at all."

Beishan Heng stood up excitedly:

"A new radio station, new codes. He must be a high-ranking agent who is in independent contact with the Secret Service. He must be a big fish, perhaps the person behind today's incident. We must not let him slip through the net. As long as we catch him, we can get another code book, which is crucial for us to crack the code of the Military Control Commission."

"Now I give the order." Kitayama Tsuneichi waved his hand, and Takagi Shinpei, Haino Keiji, and Asano Hiroichi immediately stood at attention and listened to the order. A tense atmosphere filled the small office.

"Takagi-kun, Huino-kun, your people must cooperate closely, and the people who are monitoring Qian Xinming must take decisive action to catch all the Chinese agents who are in contact."

"Hai."

"Mr. Asano, immediately organize people to decipher the secret message of the Military Control Commission. I will report to His Excellency Doi Madoka right away and ask Dr. Ito Saburo, the Imperial cryptographer, to come from Manchuria to support you.

Dr. Ito is the best cryptographer in the Empire of Japan. He has participated in the development of the Purple Code and is very good at writing and deciphering codes. As long as he is involved, there is no code that we cannot decipher."

"Dr. Ito?" The usually arrogant Asano Hirokazu also said in surprise:

"Dr. Ito has arrived in Manchuria? Great! He is the pride of our empire."

Bei Shanheng nodded proudly:
"In the intelligence war, the victory or defeat of the code war plays a decisive role, we must pay attention to it!

Gentlemen, our Great Japanese Empire's intelligence and counterintelligence work is at the world's leading level. We are the best soldiers in the world. For the sake of the Emperor, the holy war of the Empire, and our future, we must give full play to our capabilities and wipe out all the anti-Japanese elements in China. "

Several people said in unison: "Ha Yi."
