1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Just as the two were analyzing the intelligence, there was a noise downstairs. Soon, a panicked Chinese woman with short hair ran up and handed "Ramza" a piece of paper. Ramza took it and looked at it in confusion. Just the first few German words on the note made his eyes widen:

"Mr. Richard Sorge..."

Because, "Richard Sorge" is "Ramza's" real name!!

Many members of the "Ramza Team" in this house don't even know the real name! My identity has been exposed?

Sorge was startled for a second, then quickly calmed down and asked, "Where did this come from? Yiping?"

"Just now, when I was about to go out to buy some groceries, it fell from the crack of the door." "No one noticed?"

"No one noticed it and I don't know when it was put there!" Zhang Yeping was also very panicked.

Because the heading on the note was in Chinese: "Please forward to Comrade Zhang Wenqiu"!

This shows that the force that delivered the letter not only knew her real name, but also knew her work and living habits intimately, which is why they knew she was the one who got the note!

As a "young man" who had been introduced to Sorge by Comrade Wu Hao and had only been working as a spy for less than six months, Zhang Wenqiu was both terrified and devastated. "I thought I was doing pretty well, but I didn't expect to be constantly watched, like a toy!"

Who knows, there might be someone watching you from somewhere right now!

".."

Richard Sorge, known in history as the "Red King of Spies," took a deep breath and slowly opened the letter. After only a few seconds of reading, he issued an order: "Notify everyone that the entire Ramza team is completely disbanded. All members must immediately evacuate Shanghai. No member is allowed to return here to engage in intelligence work."

"What? ?"

Zhang Wenqiu, the "scholar," and the Russian woman who had initially spoken to Sorge were stunned. What could have been in the letter that would have caused their superior to disobey the organization's orders?

Didn't he know that this withdrawal would mean the end of the Communist International's and even the Soviet Union's efforts in Shanghai over the past decade? Seeing his subordinates' puzzled expressions, Sorge handed them the letter with a wry smile:

"See for yourselves!"

Everyone gathered together to read the letter, and then fell into silence.

The content of the letter is actually very simple.

It was nothing more than revealing some addresses, some names and some letters.

For example, Ramza's full name is Richard Sorge. What wars did he participate in and what department did he serve in? For example, what is the use of this villa at No. 333 Joffre and what is the use of another house at No. 1464 Joffre Road?

For example, Zhang Yiping's real name was Zhang Wenqiu, "Scholar"'s real name was Chen Hansheng, and the Soviet woman named Isa's real name was Ursula Hamburger. For example, the members of the "Ramza Group" also included Cai Shuhou, Ruth Werner, Ozaki Hidemi, Miyaki Yutoku, Kes Clausen, and so on... Simply put, the entire Ramza Group, including Sorge's carefully concealed secret guards, was exposed, and not just in a small way. For a secret agent, the knowledge of key information such as real names and addresses almost meant the complete failure of their work. Therefore, everyone, including Sorge, the leader of the "Ramza Group," felt a deep blow.

Especially Richard Sorge.

Starting from February 1930, he was ordered to come to Shanghai, China, and began to collect intelligence on various issues related to the situation in China;

In just two years, he had sent 597 valuable telegrams back to the Soviet Union and entrusted countless more intelligence messages to be shipped back. Although he never became proud, Sorge was very proud of his achievements.

did not expect...

If the exposure of their names and addresses only shocked and frightened them, then the "names of the letters" written in the telegrams made them terrified. Although they were only some of the telegrams and letters sent after the Japanese invasion of Shanghai this year, and although the specific contents of the letters were not revealed, none of them were inaccurate;

This is very scary.

Either someone had used extremely powerful technical means to intercept and crack their telegrams from beginning to end; or there was a terrible traitor in the Comintern and in the upper echelons of Moscow!

The former possibility was quickly ruled out by Sorge and others;

But the latter possibility is something they dare not even think about!

The occurrence of such an incident means that Moscow’s top leaders will once again be purged! The above is all a matter of later events.

In short, the "Ramza Group" had been exposed to this extent and had completely lost its original purpose. Because no one dared to bet that the messenger would not leak this information to other forces. For example, the Kuomintang? The British? The French? The Americans?

Or...Japanese?

neither knows.

It is obvious that the act of sending the letter this time was a complete warning.

A warning to the Ramza Group: if they don't come to power, the next person who comes to their door might be...

"Send a telegram to Moscow, inform them of all recent developments, and request that all personnel withdraw immediately! We will maintain complete silence from tomorrow!" After a moment's thought, Sorge gave another order:

"At the same time, telegraph our current CCP situation to the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area, and inform them of our impending evacuation!" "Yes!"

As Sorge expected, less than two hours later, a new order came from Moscow: temporarily abandon the Shanghai stronghold, all personnel retreat, and return to Moscow for investigation.

However, what they didn't know was that the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area never received any news.

A day later, the Ramza Group completely withdrew from Shanghai, creating a vacuum in Soviet power. "Commander, are you doing this to prevent further Soviet interference in the CCP?"

"It's not that easy to get the CCP to shed its identity as a "son party"... In short, let's delay it as long as possible!"

067 Before fooling the CCP, you must first show your strength

Since the disappearance of all nine leaders of the Provisional Central Committee, Pan Hannian, the 27-year-old head of the Central Special Branch of the Communist Party of China, has never slept again.

After discovering the incident, he immediately evacuated all comrades from Shanghai except for the nine people. Some important personnel were immediately arranged to evacuate to the Soviet area and report the incident. This is not a fuss or exaggeration. The disappearance of the nine-member central group was beyond everyone's expectations and imagination.

Can't lose anymore.

After basically arranging these tasks, Pan Hannian led the members of the Central Special Branch to start an investigation at all costs;

No matter what the cause is, the current situation is definitely a major dereliction of duty by their Central Special Branch.

Let's put aside the idea of ​​dying to atone for our sins and investigate the matter thoroughly first!

However, after several days of careful investigation and probing, they still only had one clue:

The little black-haired girl encountered by the Central Special Branch members who were responsible for protecting Comrade Zhao Ziqi was most likely a bait. Apart from this, there was nothing else.

This is considered a relatively "achievement".

The rest of the security personnel were knocked unconscious without even seeing where the newcomers came from. Some of them even didn't realize that the people they were protecting had been kidnapped until the next morning! Like the people from the "Ramza Group", Pan Hannian suffered a big blow, and a huge feeling of powerlessness came over him.

The swift rebellion of the five men dealt a heavy blow to all the comrades of the Central Special Branch, and even made some people begin to doubt their own beliefs and persistence.

People still write "Confessions"?

I...fucking...fuck, I fought to protect this day and night, and this is all I got?

To be honest, if this incident wasn't so baffling, leaving everyone fuming and determined to find out the truth, many would have applied to return to the Soviet area. Defend the Shanghai Central Committee?

I'm going to protect your mother! "...How do you declare it?"

"When we opened the office this morning, we discovered someone had thrown a confession into the newspaper office. I don't know who did it." "Isn't it the Party Affairs Investigation Section?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem like it. If they did it, why would they be so sneaky?"

indeed.

After integrating all the information, Pan Hannian breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it wasn't the Party Affairs Investigation Division, then it must be some other anti-communist force that got involved. Britain, the US, France, Germany, Japan?

Which one is it?

Just as Pan Hannian was thinking hard, a subordinate entered the safe house and whispered:

"Boss, we found the hat you used to wear!"

".."

Pan Hannian was stunned at first, then his eyes narrowed and his expression became nervous. The first word "boss" was Pan Hannian's cover-up identity;

The last word, "boss," was Kang Sheng's code name. "Where is he?"

Two hours later, at 7 p.m., a group of Central Special Branch personnel dispersed and surrounded a location in the far suburbs of Shanghai, looking vigilantly at a seemingly deserted single-family garden villa in the distance.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, I saw the boss come in here in the back seat of a car with my own eyes. There's no doubt about it."

Is this a secret base of some force?

Which side?

Never mind, these are not important. The key is, how can we conduct the investigation without arousing suspicion? At this time, someone patted Pan Hannian:

"Boss, look!"

"Um?"

Inside the villa's iron gate, a tall woman (1.6 meters was considered tall in both the Republic of China and Japan) suddenly appeared, opened the door, and shouted in the direction of Pan Hannian and the others: "Come in! Guests outside!"

The others looked at each other, still hiding in the woods and darkness, keeping silent. It was an old trick.

When the Communist Party of China was first established, some people were deceived by the Party Affairs Investigation Department using this trick. Now everyone has received professional training and will never do this... "The two hiding behind the guardhouse... are hiding in the third tree on the left... are hiding..."

However, the woman pointed out their location, even pointing out the location of the "alarm post" hidden at least 1000 meters away:

..There are 9 people in total. Do you need me to explain it more clearly? Our time and patience are limited. If you don't come in now, you won't be able to see the people you want to see.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Pan Hannian and his men walked out from their hiding place dejectedly.

What's the point of hiding when everyone has accurately reported the location?

If people come out to "entertain" you with a "friendly attitude" and you don't give them face, the next moment, you might be greeted by bullets and artillery fire.

Pan Hannian, dressed in a suit and tie like a Shanghainese playboy, took the lead, staring intently at the woman wearing a black mask and asking, "How did you find us?"

"Haha, this kind of trivial matter is not important, come in with me first!"

The woman didn't answer, turning away and walking inside. The Central Special Branch officers, having no choice but to put aside their uneasiness, filed in cautiously. Unlike his nervous subordinates, Pan Hannian seemed remarkably relaxed, even attempting to elicit information from the maid: "This place is quite nice... Is it your property?"

"I see you speak with a Beijing accent. Did you grow up there?"

"You don't even have calluses on your hands! You must be living a pretty good life, right?"

"..."

However, he was ignored. He just walked through the garden and just before opening the gate of the villa, he said with a smile:

"Your rhetoric is poor. It seems the comrades of the Central Special Branch need more training, especially you, the leader... Xiao Kai... no, Comrade Pan Hannian."

Pan Hannian was immediately horrified!

It would be fine if he just knew my code name, but he even knew my real name! Total defeat.

While smiling bitterly, Pan Hannian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since this woman has revealed her identity and called herself "comrade," it at least shows that she doesn't have much ill intentions.

Otherwise, with the abilities displayed by this maid and the power hidden behind her, she should have no problem killing all the members of the Central Special Branch. Or, in other words, abducting Kang Sheng and others without killing anyone else was itself a friendly gesture from this strange force?

Pan Hannian didn't know that if he wanted to kill them, the maid in front of him, who looked weak but was actually a killing machine, was enough.

The door opened, and the darkness was partially dispelled by the dim candlelight. Pan Hannian finally saw the person in front of him clearly:

A black-haired maid also wearing a black mask and a gunman beside her with a lazy expression but exuding a dangerous aura. Pan Hannian instinctively made a tentative greeting:

"Hello, comrade, what's your name?"

As he expected, the maid didn't feel any resistance to the word "comrade" and asked calmly: "Pan Hannian, right?"

"Yes, it's me. I don't know what you want to do by luring us here?" "According to the orders of our superiors, we are simply providing some assistance to the Chinese Communist Party."

...I'm sorry, I can't accept your help on behalf of the Party Central Committee. I can only listen to your opinions and convey them. However, I must first know who you are. Otherwise, we would rather die here."

Regardless of gender, all the members of the Central Special Branch straightened their chests.

At worst, I'll die!

Killing one is no loss, killing two is a profit! The maid was silent for a while, then said softly:

"We are... the World Communist Revolutionary Party."

"

What kind of party is this? I've never heard of it.

However, the combination of "world", "communism", "revolution" and their amazing and terrifying ability to act, it is certain that this is definitely a very powerful progressive party. How come I have never heard of such a powerful party anywhere?

No, judging by their style of operation, it's also possible that I haven't heard of them because they're so powerful and so good at keeping secrets. Judging by the name, this should be a communist revolutionary party, but with such a level of secrecy, how can they carry out a revolution? In just a few seconds, Pan Hannian filled in a lot of information in his mind.

Again, the fact that the Shanghai Central was wiped out was too bizarre to believe that there was no extremely powerful force behind the perpetrators of this incident; in addition, the fact that the past of a group of people in the Central Special Branch and even its leader Pan Hannian was just exposed also brought enough shock.

Now tell them that there are actually only 7 people causing trouble!

They will definitely think you are lying.

"Later, I hope you can explain your party's stance to me in detail... Oh, I don't know your name yet."

"Her name is Ma Dong...Bang!"

The gunman maid who said this was kicked 5 meters away by the tall maid like lightning.
