Lu Ming is currently busy at both ends, with the Secret Intelligence Service and the Secret Service School. He has almost no personal time and personal life. He is either studying teaching plans with Soviet experts at the Secret Service School, deepening communication with those students, or working in the secret intelligence service.
He works here, and at night, he also has to study the intelligence sent back from various places.
There are not many intelligence sources in Japan now. The main intelligence is provided by the Kenta family. Of course, they also use Lu Ming's agents to send intelligence, so that if something goes wrong, they will not be implicated.
The relationship between China and Japan is becoming more and more complex. Various forces are secretly competing for favorable space, and the situation is unpredictable.
Lu Ming must first judge the authenticity of the information and analyze the Qiantian family's purpose of providing this information, so that he can clarify his views and express his opinions when reporting.
It is not easy to collect intelligence, but it is also not easy to judge the authenticity of a piece of intelligence. Once the judgment is wrong, it will cause huge losses to the organization.
The information Lu Ming obtained was sometimes shared with the Soviet Union, not to mention the United States. Almost all information about Japan would be sent to Frank.
At the beginning of the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), two people stood at the center of the world political stage. One was Hitler, the leader of the German Nazi Party, who became Chancellor of Germany after formal election.
Hitler's emergence on the stage of history is a huge irony for democratic politics. The Germans used their votes to elect a devil, which not only brought a devastating crisis to the world, but also led Germany into the abyss of self-destruction.
.
Another person was Roosevelt. After he officially entered the White House, he served as president for twelve years and changed the course of world history and the world political pattern with his superhuman wisdom.
The government of the Republic of China was delighted with Hitler's coming to power. Mr. Chiang sent a special person to Germany to visit this political strongman, hoping to get Germany's military support.
Mr. Chiang once wanted to replicate the miracle of the rise of the Nazis in China, but unfortunately he failed. However, thanks to his efforts, military exchanges between Germany and China have remained as popular as ever, and arms transactions have been in full swing.
At the same time, the Soviet government also engaged in arms transactions and military assistance with the Republic of China government. It is said that the Soviet government was much more helpful to the Republic of China government than Germany.
The exchanges between the Republic of China government and Germany were limited to simple arms business, but the Soviet government helped the Republic of China government in all aspects. This was of course due to geopolitical considerations.
The hope that China could hold Japan back in the Far East and consume Japan's military strength was probably one of the important considerations of the Soviet government.
After Roosevelt entered the White House, Mr. Chiang couldn't wait to ask Lu Ming to visit the United States as his personal envoy. Of course, Lu Ming was willing. This may be the most effective way to serve the country.
Lu Ming immediately sent a telegram to seek Mr. Frank's opinion. Mr. Frank told him that now was not the best time to go to the United States for help.
President Roosevelt was busy cleaning up the mess left by President Hoover, and European affairs were also very busy. Nazi Germany was ready to move, and the whole of Europe was not at peace.
Mr. Frank finally expressed his views in a melancholy tone. The second European War may break out at any time. The United States is busy with diplomacy and cannot really care about China.
It just so happened that Lu Ming was also very busy and couldn't leave, so his trip to the United States was put on hold for the time being.
When Lu Ming returned to the office building, the whole building was still brightly lit, and there were many staff working overtime inside.
"What did the young marshal say?"
Seeing Lu Ming return, Huang Yanning hurriedly came up to greet him and asked.
"What else can I say? He has no good solution now. If he has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in North China, his words will work, but what can he do now?" Lu Ming said helplessly.
"Where is Nanjing? There's no reply yet?" Lu Ming asked again.
"No." Huang Yanning smiled bitterly.
"I guess they also have a headache." Lu Ming let out two dry laughs, his throat seemed to be dry.
Huang Yanning turned around and poured him a glass of water. Lu Ming did not drink the water, but found whiskey, poured a large glass of it, and held it in his hand.
Both of them understood in their hearts that although the provinces in North China had long been under the central government, in fact each province was doing its own thing. This was the case for the five North China provinces, and the other provinces were not much better.
The central government's control over them is very weak. Unless the central government can send troops to take over local power by force, it will not be able to change the status quo.
It was under this situation that Japan decided to launch a peace offensive and tempted the provinces in North China to establish autonomous governments and break away from the jurisdiction of central policies. This was an attempt to split China.
The two came to Lu Ming's office. Lu Ming sat down and said, "I have an idea. Since the Japanese are setting up in North China, we should also take the first step to set up in North China. The students who graduated this time will be sent to Northeast China.
, and all the others were sent to various parts of North China."
Huang Yanning nodded and said: "I agree. In fact, I am also thinking about what we can do in this situation. It seems that there is nothing to do except sending people to North China to collect intelligence."
"We must be mentally prepared for long-term confrontation with the Japanese. The Japanese have been doing this for a long time. Don't look at the fact that they always have conflicts with us because of accidental events. In fact, every step has been brewing for a long time."
Lu Ming's observation and analysis of Japan's viewpoint was summarized in discussions with Sheng Youde.
"I have an idea. Don't we have that list in our hands? We might as well send people to North China to assassinate all these people. Wouldn't the Japanese have no partners to cooperate with?" Huang Yanning said.
"Nonsense, those people are currently just the targets of the Japanese fighting for and hunting. There is no evidence to prove that they have turned to the Japanese and become traitors. They are still important figures in the government and military circles. If we take action now, it is equivalent to killing them.
They pushed it towards the Japanese."
Lu Ming believes that this is just a game between the two sides. Some people will definitely turn to Japan, and of course some will wake up and return to the right path of fighting against Japanese pirates.
Huang Yanning smiled awkwardly, then realized that his thinking was still too shallow. Just seeing the list, he subconsciously thought that these people were already cooperating with the Japanese, and wanted to strike first.
"Assassinating them will not achieve anything except causing social chaos. It will even help the Japanese speed up the pace of splitting North China." Lu Ming continued his analysis.
"We can't just watch the Japanese conspiracy succeed. How can we stop them?" Huang Yanning said uneasily.
"Remember, we don't engage in assassinations unless absolutely necessary, especially against the Chinese. These are Dai Yunong's jobs, not ours. Our job is only to collect intelligence." Lu Ming added.
"Okay, I remember." Huang Yanning smiled.
Huang Yanning went back to prepare. He is Lu Ming's deputy. Lu Ming is responsible for making decisions. He needs to implement specific actions. Even so, Lu Ming is still very busy every day.
Lu Ming went downstairs and came to the telecommunications room. Only he could enter here. Even Huang Yanning and Liu Qiwen had no right to enter without permission.
They can only see the information taken out from the telecommunications room, and a lot of information is not taken out of the telecommunications room at all, but is just kept in the top-secret filing cabinet in the telecommunications room.
As soon as they saw him coming in, everyone in the telecommunications room stood up and said hello.
Lu Ming waved his hand and asked them to continue working, and then asked the head of the telecommunications department: "Has there been a call back from the United States?"
"No, I didn't receive a call back from anywhere today."
"Has there been any progress in monitoring those radio stations in Japan?" Lu Ming asked again.
"The transmission volume of those radio stations has been normal recently. We have intercepted some messages, but we cannot decipher the codes," the telecommunications section chief said.
"It's normal that the code cannot be deciphered. If you detect a surge in the number of transmissions from those radio stations, you must report it to me immediately."
"yes."
Lu Ming hired a lot of code-breaking experts. After being trained by Soviet experts, it was no longer a problem for them to decipher general codes. However, there was no progress in deciphering Japanese military codes for the time being.
Lu Ming was not depressed. As far as he knew, the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau had no way to deal with the Japanese military's codes.
The most important thing for a country's intelligence system is the password, especially the secret information related to military operations. If it is easily deciphered by someone, it will be abnormal.
However, by tracking and monitoring some important radio stations, important information can also be obtained from their transmission time and number of transmissions.
If the sending time and number of messages exceed the norm, there must be a problem.
If you follow this clue to activate the agents buried inside the enemy, you may get unexpected results.
The battlefield is like a lake. Where there is movement or undercurrent, people who do not know hydrology cannot tell it from the surface of the lake.
But there are also people who can see a surge brewing in the distance beyond the reach of their eyes.
At the end of the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), an undercurrent surged somewhere in North China, like a butterfly flapping its wings, and the entire land of China was about to usher in a violent storm.
