Chapter 1294 Lurker (first update, please subscribe)
"I have a gut feeling."
In the British Embassy in Ming Dynasty, Clans smiled and smoked a cigar and said.
"I can guarantee that arms smuggling in South Africa should be controlled by the intelligence agencies of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire sees the war in South Africa as an opportunity to weaken us. They will never maintain any so-called neutrality like they do now."
"evidence!"
Randolph said from the side.
"Major's mere intuition cannot convince others. What we need now is evidence that the Ming Empire is supporting the Boers in South Africa. At least we have to find evidence of their arms smuggling."
For these intelligence officers, they have been paying attention to the arms exports of the Ming Empire for the past period of time, but they have not found any evidence to prove that the Ming Empire is supporting South Africa.
However, no one can explain why South Africa can obtain a steady supply of weapons. It is absolutely impossible to rely solely on ordinary arms smuggling.
Moreover, the Ming Empire itself had a criminal record. During the American Civil War, they sent a large amount of arms to the south.
It is precisely because of this that the British have every reason to believe that the Ming Empire is supporting South Africa, but there is just no evidence.
"Alas! This is the most troublesome thing. If only that guy Lawrence was still alive, his intelligence network would have penetrated into all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. We can obtain the information we need through them. It's a pity that he
He actually drowned."
Krens said with regret.
"Do you believe he really drowned?"
Randolph sneered.
"Have you forgotten that not long after Lawrence's accident, the Ming Empire cracked a banner intelligence network? If my guess is correct, there must be a certain connection between the death of Lawrence and the Ming Empire.
."
"There is a connection between them."
Krensi looked at the commander with doubts, and then asked.
"Are you saying Lawrence betrayed England?"
"Lawrence did not betray Britain, but he probably exposed his identity. Maybe he was betrayed by a spy. Who knows, but it is a pity that his intelligence network disappeared like this."
After thinking for a while, Randolph continued.
"But I don't think his intelligence network has been completely destroyed. If my guess is good, someone must have survived. After all, even Lawrence himself doesn't know how many people are in that network? He can't
Betray everyone, and in this case someone will definitely survive."
The chief's words made Kerens think for a while, and then he said
"If it's true, if we find him, maybe we can reorganize this network and get more intelligence, what do you think?"
"Finding him? It's almost impossible. After all, with the destruction of the network, he is very likely to have lurked. Unless he comes to us actively, it will be difficult for us to find him, but I am sure that he will definitely be there."
Come look for us soon."
Randolph said slowly.
"This is my intuition and I trust my own judgment."
…
intuition!
Sometimes people's intuition is accurate.
Jin Biyun had no doubts about this, and she was even a little lucky.
Last year, she finally managed to get a line, but just after developing that inside line, she realized a certain danger.
What kind of danger is it?
Until now, she has made it clear that it is just an intuition.
Although it was just an intuition, she still chose to leave, and even actively cut off contact with the target.
Two months later, she read the news in the newspaper - the Imperial Security Bureau uncovered a foreign spy network, and the spies were all banner men disguised as Han people.
This news only frightened her so much that she cut off contact with all parties. However, even so, she did not escape from the Ming Dynasty. Instead, she fled to Nanyuan, the steel city of the empire. She disguised herself here
A new identity, and then "live" quietly.
"Hello! Teacher Yun!"
"Hello!"
When walking on the street and occasionally encountering others who greet her, Jin Biyun will respond with a sweet smile. Now she is no longer Jin Biyun, but her name is Yunting, a music teacher who just graduated last year.
In the more than a year since she came to Nanyuan, Jin Biyun has not contacted anyone, and she has not tried to contact the British. After the previous intelligence network was destroyed, how many people were arrested and how many people knew about her?
Existence is unknown, but one thing is certain, she will never take risks.
"How did you reveal your identity?"
Walking on the neat and beautiful sidewalk by the roadside, Jin Biyun was thinking about the possibilities of exposing her identity. She was very sure that there was no problem on her side.
"Even if one person is exposed, it is impossible to involve any intelligence network. What exactly is the problem?"
Although she was full of doubts, she was eventually attracted by the shops on the roadside - those beautifully decorated ready-made clothing stores. In the empire, these ready-made clothing stores were called "specialty stores", which were very characteristic of the empire.
In shops, the beautiful dresses on the mannequins standing behind the glass curtain walls always attract the attention of women.
Those brands are not only popular in Daming, but also in European and American countries. However, their largest market is Daming itself, the place of origin of the goods. After all, there are many people in Daming and the middle class has a high income, so they have money to spend.
These are not extravagant luxuries.
Even as a spy, Jin Biyun is a very normal woman who is attracted by beautiful dresses, cosmetics and jewelry.
"This dress is so beautiful. Summer is coming, now is the time to wear it!"
When Jin Biyun's attention was attracted by the pink dress on the dummy behind the glass window, what she didn't notice was the joy on a young man's face when he saw her.
"Hi! Miss Yun! Hello. We meet again!"
When Jin Biyun was about to enter the store, a young man with a smile came up behind her and greeted her with an expression of surprise that could not be concealed on his face.
"Ah! Hello, Mr. Li!"
Jin Biyun, who was startled, turned around and saw this young man. He was an engineer she met at the dance last week, so she quickly greeted him with a chuckle.
Her smile still looked pure and innocent, and her brows were full of feminine charm.
"Miss Yun, are you free this afternoon?"
Li Huafeng took the initiative to invite.
Ever since he danced a song with Miss Yun at the dance last week, all he could think about was the beautiful, innocent Miss Yun in front of him, and even he had forgotten that he had a fiancée.
"Well! I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, I have classes this afternoon. I just want to take some time to go out and walk around. Classes will be in a while, so why not choose a time next time! Okay?"
Jin Biyun politely declined the invitation of the engineer in front of him.
Of course, this kind of rejection is just a means.
Even the reason why she attended those dances was to get close to those engineers to obtain information. The reason why she chose engineers was because these engineers also had inestimable information in their hands.
Of course, she won't waste her precious time on them. The person in front of her is just a target for her.
"Ah! That's it!"
Although it felt a bit pity, Li Huafeng still persisted in his pursuit.
"How about... Miss Yun, look there is a coffee shop over there. I'll treat you to a cup of coffee. What do you think?"
He didn't have time to meet the other party, but Li Huafeng still took the next step and invited him. For Li Huafeng, a famous playboy in the school at that time, he didn't know what rejection and concession meant, so he just used his best and worst method of death.
Beating her hard in the hope of winning the beauty back.
"Um...that...okay!"
After hesitating for a while, Jin Biyun reluctantly agreed. Playing hard to get is the most common method for a spy.
"...Actually, I didn't originally plan to work in the Nanyuan Arsenal. Compared to the arsenal, I prefer to run a factory. Miss Yun may not know it well. My family is from Guangdong and is a famous gentry in Guangfu.
Years ago, I came to Ming Dynasty to avoid disaster, and I have gained a lot these years..."
At the flower pond facing the street of the coffee shop, Li Huafeng showed off his family's capital to Miss Yun in front of him. According to his past experience, family background is an irresistible temptation for women, especially those with ordinary backgrounds like the Miss Yun in front of him.
woman.
"Oh! It turns out that Mr. Li is actually a son of a rich family. Working in an arsenal is indeed a waste of talent. I believe you will definitely go back and inherit the family business in the future!"
Jin Biyun half-complimented this guy who was full of confidence and kept showing off his family background in his words. He didn't have much good impressions.
In terms of family background, can you compare to me?
I, Amma, am the prince!
What are you?
All of this is due to the Ming Dynasty! Without the Ming Dynasty, not only would the Kingdom of Heaven have been destroyed long ago, but Li Hongzhang would also have gone into hiding. She would still be in the enemy's camp at the risk of being in the enemy's camp like she is now...
Jin Biyun couldn't help but regret in her heart. She couldn't figure out why she agreed to drink coffee with such a guy.
However, a guy like this seems to be a good development target.
Just when this thought came to her mind, maybe she realized that she was not interested in her family background, so Li Huafeng changed the topic.
"do you know?"
Li Huafeng looked towards the street, and then said with sad words.
"Perhaps, all this will disappear soon..."
