Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 105 Deliberate Clear Code Telegram

When a common man is angry, blood splatters five steps away; when a monarch is angry, the whole world is in mourning.

Chen Jiehua was not a monarch, but he was not a common man either. He had been suppressing his anger in his heart. Fujiwara Mio had been paying attention to Chen Jiehua's expression and emotions throughout the whole scene, so she guessed what Chen Jiehua was thinking. Once she returned home and completed the counter-espionage inspection, Mio began to persuade Chen Jiehua.

Fujiwara Mio didn't want him to explode directly because the consequences were unpredictable.

Now is the honeymoon period for the cooperation between several companies. Qingmu chain pharmacies have been opened in Suzhou, Ningbo, Nantong and surrounding counties, and the intelligence network has achieved full regional coverage.

Dollars and yen flowed continuously from various pharmacies to the head office, and were then distributed from the head office and deposited into each company's domestic bank account. Now, not only was the Ministry of the Army rich, but other companies had also escaped the shadow of the Great Depression.

This is not the main point. The most important thing is that the organization has achieved the smooth flow of intelligence networks and transportation lines. Comrades who have penetrated the fast-running system of large pharmacies can now openly carry intelligence and medicines to various cities and bases in broad daylight.

If you have money, you can buy medicine openly.

The Kuomintang’s military, police, and gendarmerie dared not mess with Aoki Qiao’s pharmacy system.

At this point in time, if Chen Jiehua suddenly broke out in conflict with the Navy and expelled the shopkeepers and intelligence officers sent by the Navy, the consequences would be unpredictable. First of all, the absence of the shopkeeper of the large pharmacy would lead to problems such as poor circulation of medicines in the corresponding area and poor intelligence channels.

"Aoki, I want to advise you that this is not what a high-ranking agent should do. Actions with consequences beyond your control are the worst possible strategy! There's an old Chinese saying: a biting dog doesn't bark."

"Your metaphor is great! Don't use metaphors next time!"

Chen Jiehua knew what Mio was talking about, but there were some things he couldn't share with Fujiwara Mio.

After all, Mio is a Japanese. She can join the Japanese Communist Party, she can join the Chinese Communist Party, and she can also be anti-war. However, if you want to discuss with her things that may lead to Japan's defeat or even the destruction of the country, forget it. You should keep some things in reserve when it is necessary.

A small amount is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband.

The conflict with the Navy seemed like a minor outrage, with unforeseeable consequences, but so what? The Navy was struggling with budget cuts. Were they really willing to give up their steady stream of profits for the sake of a colonel and a few young men from the Shimazu family?

They'll definitely compromise in the end. At most, the relationship between Aoki Qiao and the Shimazu family will be strained, but so what? You were the ones who started it! If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm Hello Kitty? This is my first goal. I must demonstrate my intimidating power.

The Ministry of the Navy double-crossed and secretly replaced the spy network of the Shanghai Branch of the Second Department of the Navy, which should have been handed over to it, with the Marine Corps. I didn't even take the initiative to settle this account with you. Now the Marine Corps is humiliating me in turn. If I don't respond properly, won't the Army Department laugh to death?
Second, only Chen Jiehua himself understood that the organization's current smooth access to Shanghai and surrounding areas was only temporary, a benefit within the bounds of historical flexibility. This benefit would vanish after April 1931, and even affect him. It would only last a year at best. Third, the Kwantung Army would launch the September 4th Incident within the next year, and his main battlefield would not be here. This conflict would give him a reason to return to headquarters, where he could obtain firsthand intelligence.

Therefore, this seemingly immature "outrage" must be carried out as soon as possible. If you can't convince Mio, then don't try to convince her yet.

The next morning, Chen Jiehua found Zhou Yongsu and asked him to hand over his work as soon as possible, pack his luggage, and catch the afternoon ferry back to America.

Old Zhou was too important to lose, and he had to evacuate before he launched his own attack, lest the Marines become desperate. Although it was a bit sudden, Old Zhou was known for his obedience, and Liu Junze had sent repeated telegrams urging him to go back, so it was just in time.

After arranging Lao Zhou, the second thing was to arrange Zhao Shiyu and have him convey his ideas to the organization and consult with the organization. I planned to "take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble" to deepen the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy and promote confrontation and internal friction between the two sides.

It was a calm day, but the commander of the Marine Corps, Matsumoto Tadaza, and the chief of staff, Shimazu Hisanosuke, felt uneasy. Aoki Qiao's silence was abnormal!

What did he do all day? Just drove to the main store and then to the consulate? What did he do at the consulate? Nothing? Impossible! He went home after 4:00?
It would have been fine if Shimazu Hisanosuke hadn't investigated, but this investigation made me even more anxious. Nothing happened? Is Aoki Takashi so weak?

On the other hand, Qing Mu Qiao suddenly returned home early because after receiving the request conveyed by Lao Mao, the head of the Intelligence Department, Wang Yong, took into account the uncontrollability and seriousness of the matter and urgently activated the secret frequency band to contact and asked Hong Luan to talk directly!

You seem a bit willful, unorganized and undisciplined. You're living a good life, so why are you making such a fuss?
After more than a dozen rounds of questions and answers, the radio station was almost smoking, and Chen Jiehua finally convinced Section Chief Wang Yong.

The next morning, Aoki Qiao went to Nishi Honganji Temple and notified all the agents of the Aoki Agency in Nishi Honganji Temple to go out in groups of two, armed with weapons, to more than 20 branches and inform the branch managers that they were fired, and asked them to put down their work, take their personal belongings, and leave Shanghai!

Aoki Qiao sent a plaintext telegram to the headquarters through the Aoki Agency, and the Aoki Agency and the Aoki Pharmacy chain terminated all cooperation with the Navy Ministry and the Shimazu family, and the profit distribution involving the Navy Ministry and the Shimazu family was immediately terminated.

As for Shimazu Yasunosuke from the main store, I personally saw him off.

Not only the Navy Ministry and the Shimazu family were dumbfounded, but even the Army Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were dumbfounded. Why did you just send a telegram? Why invent a coded telegraph?

The Marine Corps Headquarters had certainly received the clear-text telegram! Shimazu Hisanosuke's only feeling was that the world was spinning. How could he do this? How could he do this? How could he dare?

Meanwhile, the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai was also in an uproar. Duke Fujiwara couldn't find his daughter and son-in-law, so he called Shigemitsu Mamoru directly, saying, "How the hell are you taking care of my daughter and son-in-law?" How much injustice must one have endured to do such a thing?
When Tu Feiyuan in the Northeast received the telegram, he was stunned for a moment. What the hell! Back then, I actually treated him as an imaginary enemy and even went to the base camp to verify him. This is so shameful, it lowers my status!

Although the organization in Shanghai was prepared for this, they never expected you to invent the coded telegraph! You're such a jerk! You're so shameless in order to achieve your goals! Is there any point in wanting a comrade like that?
