The bonuses were distributed quickly, and everyone in the Intelligence Section received them all on the third day.
Promote high motivation.
However, the harvest was relatively mediocre, and the investigation of relevant landmine clues was hindered and no further progress could be made.
It turns out that it was provided by a spy, but there was no way to find out.
But another more serious matter was involved.
Although the landmine used by the "Shangui" was detonated on the spot that day, the mine that Song Shutang took out from Meng Jiaqi did not explode. After investigation by the Demolition Team of the Operations Division of the Military Command Bureau and the Special Technology Research Laboratory, it was believed that the mine should have been made by the Shancheng Arsenal.
This discovery made everyone aware of the seriousness of the problem.
The landmines made in the mountain city arsenal can be circulated to the hands of spies and then handed over to the "mountain ghosts". Who is this who is ignoring the law and enriching himself?
The matter was reported to Director Dai's office and a thorough investigation was ordered.
The truth must come to light!
The arrest of Japanese spies must be postponed.
Although Song Shutang was still injured, he also participated in the work.
As soon as I arrived at the Intelligence Section today, I went to Zhu Yue's office to discuss the matter.
After entering and sitting down, Zhu Yue immediately said: "The landmine incident is of great concern. The fury of Shangfeng Lei ordered our intelligence department to investigate the case as soon as possible."
After all, the weapons from the Yamashiro Arsenal were circulated on the market and obtained by Japanese spies.
Or should we simply trade it directly to the spies?
No matter which of these two situations it is, it is completely unacceptable.
And who is so brave!
How can you condone someone who dares to do such a heinous and unethical thing just to enrich his own pockets?
Song Shutang asked: "Isn't there a way to directly target the arsenal through landmines?"
"There are no markings on the mines, and they are not the type produced by each arsenal."
Since it dares to be circulated in the market, how can it leave such a big hidden danger?
It is certainly impossible to lock the arsenal through mines.
"Then how to confirm that it is a product of the Yamacheng Arsenal?"
"The raw materials required for making landmines are controlled materials. When entering the mountain city, it is the responsibility of the commissioners. Ordinary people cannot buy and sell them privately. Moreover, dismantling the mines to check the internal raw materials is not a piece of earthwork, but a professional proportion of materials. Except for the major cities in the mountain city,
Outside the arsenal, no one can have such conditions.
Moreover, spies cannot carry mines into the mountain city with them, and it is difficult to smuggle them in using goods, so we infer that it was made by the mountain city arsenal. The most important thing is to check the raw materials used internally, which is our common ratio."
After listening to Zhu Yue's explanation, Song Shutang was convinced that someone in the arsenal was really taking risks.
As said before.
The stricter the blockade, the greater the profits from business speculation!
This is the reason for trade with enemy-occupied areas.
The blockade of weapons and the like in the mountain city must be impregnable, resulting in unimaginable profits.
The wages of avarice is death!
It is not unimaginable that there are people willing to take risks.
But this person knows that if these things are circulating in the mountain city, the person who needs them must be a spy. What is the use of ordinary people?
But still do it.
Then this nature is not just about making money!
"Looking back now, I searched for the radio station that day and arrested Youzhu Migui. The radio station designed booby traps to detonate in the house. We all thought that the explosives were prepared by Japanese spies, but now it seems that they might have obtained them from the mountain city." Zhu Yue recalled.
Recall the previous incident.
That day a booby trap exploded.
Therefore, there was not much investigation on site.
But in retrospect, what Zhu Yue said made sense. Maybe the explosives in Zhu Meigui's room were also purchased by Japanese spies in the mountain city.
Those who are doing business secretly behind the scenes are really killing their own people!
If this person is not dug out, the probability of death in future operations of the Military Command will increase.
While the two were talking, Long Hao entered from outside the office.
Holding information in hand.
"Team leader, the information on Shancheng Arsenal has been collected." Long Hao started sorting out the information last night.
"Tell me."
"There are currently five arsenals in the mountain city, namely the 21st arsenal, the Artillery Technology Research Office, the 24th arsenal, the 25th arsenal, and the 50th arsenal."
Not much.
At this time of war, weapons are particularly important.
This is just the arsenal owned by the mountain city. There are many arsenal industries in other places.
But so many arsenals made subsequent investigations difficult.
Zhu Yue continued to report the content of the information. He said: "The 21st Arsenal was formerly known as the Jinling Arsenal and the Hanyang Arsenal. In 1937, it moved westward and built a factory in Chenjiaguan, a mountain city in the north of the Yangtze River. It was directly under the Ordnance Industry Department of the Military General Headquarters.
It consists of 16 branches including heavy mortar factory, artillery shell factory, heavy gun factory, rifle factory, ammunition factory, pharmaceutical factory, gun repair factory, power plant, firearms factory, tool factory, schools, hospitals, farms, etc.
It is the largest of the five arsenals."
The five arsenals are too numerous to investigate.
Nowadays, there are only 16 branch factories in one arsenal, so the difficulty of investigation has increased sharply.
Although the division of labor in each factory is different, those who dare to secretly produce and sell landmines may think that the branch factory they work in has nothing to do with landmines, which only adds to the confusion.
Therefore, it cannot be easily eliminated during your investigation.
Song Shutang reached out and realized that Long Hao had brought the information.
The introduction of these five arsenals contained a lot of content, so he took them so that he could check them directly.
Two copies of the information were originally prepared. Long Hao gave them to Song Shutang, and Zhu Yue handed one copy to him.
Song Shutang checked the second arsenal, the Artillery Technical Research Office, which was also affiliated with the Ordnance Industry Administration.
Mainly produces infantry artillery shells.
It is located in Zhongrutuo, Jiangbei, a mountain city.
Not only is there a cave workshop, but there is also a department store, a double-ring restaurant, a grain store, a butcher shop, a library club, etc.
Although the scale is not as large as the 21st Arsenal, it is not small either.
This investigation is also not easy.
Looking at the predecessor of the 24th Arsenal, it was the Shancheng Electric Steelmaking Plant organized by warlords to expand their power. It produced steel to manufacture arms and firearms. In 1937, it was taken over by the Ordnance Industry Administration and the first batch of electric furnace steel in the Southwest was smelted.
.
It mainly produces aircraft bombs, grenades, grenades and light weapons.
The 25th Ordnance Factory was formerly the Longhua Branch of the Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration. It was one of the earliest ordnance enterprises in modern times. It moved to the mountain city of Shuangbei on the bank of the Jialing River within 38 years and mainly produced various types of bullets and artillery shells.
The 50th Ordnance Factory was formerly the Second Ordnance Factory of Guangdong. It was moved to Guojiatuo, JB District, Shancheng City in 1937. It mainly produces core components of artillery, mortars, combat defense artillery, field artillery, etc.
After reading the information about the five arsenals collected by Long Hao, it is difficult for you to immediately pinpoint where the problem is. Putting the information down, Song Shutang said, "This matter must be investigated by the Ordnance Industry Administration first."
Although this investigation is to blame the Ordnance Industry Administration for its unfavorable supervision, without the cooperation of the Ordnance Industry Administration, it would be inconvenient to carry out the investigation.
Zhu Yue said: "Shangfeng has arranged for people to go to the main headquarters of the Kaixuan Route Army and the Guanyinyan Ordnance Department to get their support in advance, but the investigation still requires our efforts. At most, they will not interfere."
There is a problem like this in the arsenal under your jurisdiction, but you have no idea about it.
Isn’t there joint and several liability?
There must be some.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible for them to strongly support your investigation.
No matter how serious you make the problem, it won't help.
They definitely want a false alarm.
The worst they can do is wait until the matter is over and they will investigate internally. This is the thinking of most organizations when encountering such problems, and it is not a special case.
Therefore, the Military Command Bureau arranged for people to go to negotiate, just to prevent them from obstructing the investigation.
The Intelligence Section will not rely on them to obtain information, and it is impossible to provide it to you.
"At this critical juncture, they are still guarding their own one-third of an acre of land, and they don't cooperate with the investigation. I don't know how many soldiers who are charging will die because of this. They are really doing everything in front of them." Long Hao was very dissatisfied with this behavior.
Is Zhu Yue satisfied?
Naturally, he is also dissatisfied.
But he was unable to change it.
Song Shutang was actually the same as Long Hao, but he also understood all the details. Even if he didn't count on them, as long as he didn't stop him, he would definitely find out the person behind it.
Then they will not be able to escape responsibility.
"Maybe there is a problem with the Ordnance Industry Department behind it." Long Hao boldly guessed.
After all, it is the personal behavior of the arsenal.
Or the person in charge gave orders.
Are people from the Ordnance Industry Department even involved?
It's hard to say this at the moment.
Zhu Yue reminded: "Be careful what you say."
Although you can be suspicious, don't mention it without evidence. It would be troublesome for the Ordnance Industry Administration to find out.
Now I still expect them to open some convenient doors.
After all, the arsenal is not another place where you can secretly enter and investigate. It is a strictly confidential organization, and the guards work day and night. Without the Ordnance Administration to provide you with credentials, it will be difficult for you to investigate.
