The information provided by the Red Party today is extremely important.
The images of ‘goshawk’, ‘harrier’ and ‘vulture’ are of great significance.
But there was no way to carry out a large-scale search. Only Song Shutang knew about it, and it was difficult to do it alone.
For this reason, he is even more looking forward to the photos of the 'buzzard', but how can everything be rationalized so that the intelligence department can use the photos to conduct searches? This is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
Song Shutang kept thinking about it on the way back, but the matter involved a lot and could easily go wrong.
After a night's rest at home, the next day he worked with the Intelligence Division to investigate the Eagle Group. The investigation started in accordance with the three aspects of the previous plan, but no progress was made for three days in a row.
In particular, the attempt to learn the specific mission of the Eagle Group to come to the mountain city through lurking personnel in Shanghai failed.
News came back from Shanghai that after providing information about the Eagle Group previously, the lurking personnel faced investigation and were currently in a dangerous situation and could not provide specific information about the Eagle Group's mission.
It is difficult to make progress in the local investigation in Shancheng.
Hidden personnel in Shanghai are also facing danger.
The Intelligence Section has some plans to wrap up its investigation, and it is not appropriate to continue wasting manpower and material resources like a headless fly, leaving only a few people to continue following up, and the rest to do other things.
When Song Shutang heard this, it was unacceptable.
He was also waiting for the Red Party to provide photos of the 'Boodoo', and then the Intelligence Department would conduct a large-scale search, just like the previous investigation of the 'Kite'.
But if the Intelligence Division starts to reduce its manpower now, it will be even more strange for Song Shutang to take out the photos. No one can figure out where you found them?
In order to solve this problem and pave the way for follow-up actions, Song Shutang went to find Shen Lushui.
"Report."
"Enter."
"Section Chief."
"What's wrong?"
"The section chief plans to reduce the intensity of the investigation against the Eagle Team?" Song Shutang asked when he came up.
Faced with this problem, Shen Lushui said helplessly: "The shooting of 'Kite' proves that the Eagle Team has indeed appeared in the mountain city, but the opponent's strong man cut off his wrist so neatly that the Intelligence Department has no good way to investigate now.
Instead of endlessly investigating mindlessly, it is better to reduce the intensity and wait for the other party to take action and expose the flaws before talking."
"But if you wait for the other party's actions to reveal flaws, it is very likely that irreparable consequences will occur." Song Shutang reminded.
"Do you have any idea?"
"I have some ideas."
"tell me the story."
"Du Changhai stated during the interrogation that the Eagle Group fought against members of the Anti-Japanese Alliance during the Manchukuo period..."
"Red party?" Shen Lushui interrupted Song Shutang directly and asked.
Listen and listen.
It’s clear what Song Shutang thinks.
"yes."
Seeing his recognition, Shen Lu Shui shook his head slightly.
He also knew what Du Changhai said. Indeed, he had thought about the Red Party before. After all, they had achieved success in selling firearms.
As for why I didn't mention it, it's obvious.
Song Shutang now proposed that Shen Lushui only treated him as an emergency patient and sought medical treatment.
"You also know the matter. Nowadays, if you go to the red party, it is easy to humiliate yourself, and it is also easy to attract people's attention." Shen Lushui said.
"My subordinates understand the section chief's concerns, but it is our job to capture Japanese spies. If we allow Japanese spies to cause a bloody storm in the mountain city, we will not be able to explain to Shangfeng."
Song Shutang's lyrics are bloody.
Shen Lushui didn't find it strange.
Think about the configuration of the Eagle team.
Not impossible.
Seeing Shen Luchui thinking, Song Shutang took advantage of the situation and said: "If we ask for help, they will definitely choose to ignore it now, so I think we can buy information."
"Buy?" Shen Lushui obviously did not expect that Song Shutang would propose such a method.
Buy!
Song Shutang was indeed a last-minute idea.
The Red Party has agreed to provide information, and indeed provided it to him free of charge, but now it needs to rationalize everything.
As long as Shen Lushui agrees to ask the Red Party for help, the other party will definitely continue to act. However, there must be a step to put the previous things here, so it is said to be a purchase.
"Will they open their mouths like a lion?" Shen Lushui felt that he was going to buy information at his door, but he was not a big fat sheep coming to his door.
"We also have to look at the value of the intelligence they can provide before deciding whether to agree to their price. We can judge for ourselves whether it's worth it."
judge?
Based on this information, Song Shutang knew that it would be difficult for Shen Lushui to refuse.
Can the Red Party agree?
Shen Lushui thought they could talk.
Purchasing information is business, and since it is business, we can talk about it.
"You and Zhu Yue should go for a walk." Shen Lushui finally thought that he could give it a try.
"How about I meet with Meng Jiaqi first to make preparations for the Red Party?"
"That's fine."
"Yes, section chief."
"Call Zhu Yuelai."
"yes."
After coming out of the section chief's office, Song Shutang asked Zhu Yue to go, and he called Meng Jiaqi and asked her to treat her to dinner that evening.
When he arrived at Shen Lushui's office, Zhu Yue learned why he was called here.
"Looking to the Red Party to buy information?" Zhu Yue was also slightly surprised.
"right."
"Did this boy from the library come up with it?"
"yes."
"He is used to taking advantage of the Red Party."
"But it's hard to take advantage of the Red Party!" Shen Lushui knew that it was not easy to take advantage.
As for the relationship between Song Shutang and the Red Party?
No one doubts it!
It couldn't be more innocent to take the initiative to bring up this matter at this time.
If you can't avoid the relationship, you will be asking for trouble.
"Since the section chief agrees, I will give it a try." Zhu Yue also thought there was no harm in giving it a try.
Anyway, there is really no progress in the investigation now.
"I asked the bookstore to meet Meng Jiaqi first to give the Red Party a warning. You can go back in two days so that they can know whether they can investigate the clues and facilitate the conversation."
"It belongs to understanding."
Song Shutang refused to go with Long Hao after get off work in the evening.
Watching him leave, Long Hao muttered: "I value sex over friends."
Zhu Yue happened to approach and saw this: "It's a pity that you are not a girl."
"Team leader." Long Hao yelled and was about to throw himself into Zhu Yue's arms, so frightened that he ran away.
Long Hao nodded with satisfaction: "You will be disgusted until you die."
Song Shutang came to the appointment place and met Meng Jiaqi.
"I haven't gotten the photo yet." Thinking that he was eager to inquire about the photo, Meng Jiaqi said that he hadn't gotten it yet.
Song Shutang smiled and said, "It's not about the photos."
"That is?"
"Today I……"
"Buy information?" Meng Jiaqi was also surprised by this operation.
"I'll give you a chance to speak loudly. The Military Command Bureau has a lot of money. Go back and tell them you're welcome."
"Are you helping us plot against the military bureau?"
"You provide information and get rewarded. It is a matter of course. How can it be said to be a calculation."
Meng Jiaqi understood in his heart.
Song Shutang really helped them.
His attitude changed quite a bit as we got along with him.
Meng Jiaqi smiled and said, "I will convey your kindness."
"Then we'll be here in two days."
"Welcome." Who wouldn't welcome a fat sheep delivered to your door?
They were in a good mood today and left after eating and drinking.
At this time, Meng Jiaqi had no prohibited items on his person, so Song Shutang did not need to send them to him.
I waited in the Information Section for two days before heading to Hongyanzui with Zhu Yue.
While Song Shutang was driving on the road, Zhu Yue asked from the passenger seat: "Do you think the Red Party can provide intelligence?"
"As for the Manchurian puppets, they might be able to."
"Don't say that it is difficult for us to carry out our work in Manchukuo. They are actually better than us." Zhu Yue said.
"They can't tell us why either."
"Actually, the bureau has specifically inquired about this matter."
"Really?" Song Shutang was also curious.
"The special characteristics of the puppet Manchukuo make it difficult to send people to lurk there, but precisely because of the special characteristics of the puppet Manchukuo, they send a lot of children of high-ranking officials and wealthy families to study in Japan every year."
"Developed in Japan?" Song Shutang asked.
"should be."
"This method is really clever."
Song Shutang admired him.
Those who can study in Japan are those with rich and powerful families.
They were developed to choose to fight against the Manchus and resist the Japanese, which gave them a natural advantage.
"really."
"If that's the case, why don't we follow suit?"
There are already ready-made solutions to the problems that the bureau is eager to solve, so we just need to imitate them.
Zhu Yue suddenly said in a low voice: "The people we sent to Japan to prepare for the development of overseas students in Manchuria were developed together with the Red Party members in Japan."
What!
Song Shutang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
But what is scary is that the Red Party’s development ability is so huge.
But then I thought about my own experience.
He does somewhat understand those who have been developed.
In their territory in the mountain city, the Red Party can still do this.
When the two sides are in the same situation in Japan, the Red Party's capabilities don't have to be doubled.
"The bureau is furious about this, and it's embarrassing and we haven't made it public. Don't go out and talk nonsense." Zhu Yue reminded.
"Don't worry, I understand."
"So the Red Party is very comfortable in Manchukuo, but it makes it difficult for us to move forward."
"This seems to be good news. They should know the information about the Eagle Group."
"I'm afraid the lion will open his mouth."
"After reading the information, we will make our own valuation."
While the two were communicating, they had already arrived at Hongyanzui.
The one we were looking for was, of course, the Eighth Route Army's Shancheng Office.
After all, this is the only brand to the outside world.
The person who received them was still an old acquaintance, Xue Sangen.
"Director Xue."
"Team Leader Zhu, Deputy Team Leader Song."
"Thank you, Director Xue."
"Two team leaders, please come in quickly."
After each other sat down, Zhu Yue was the first to speak: "Director Xue should already know our purpose of coming."
"Eagle Group?" Xue Sangeng didn't pretend to be stupid.
After all, Song Shutang had made it clear to Meng Jiaqi in advance that it was to give Hongyanzui time to investigate the information and negotiate the price.
"Exactly."
"But it is very difficult to investigate in Manchukuo, and the brutality of the Japanese army is very dangerous. Lives can be lost at any time."
After hearing this, Zhu Yue knew that Xue Sangen was asking for a price.
It seems they can indeed get information.
"We also know the dangers and will not let your party members take risks in vain. We will provide certain support and help them solve their worries." Zhu Yue said.
"In this case, we can't shirk it, otherwise it will appear as if we don't support the anti-Japanese war. No matter how dangerous it is, we will face it head on."
"Thank you, Director Xue, for your understanding of justice."
"It should."
"I wonder how much Director Xue thinks is appropriate?"
"Thirty thousand dollars."
"How many?"
Thirty thousand!
Dollars!
Is Xue Sangen going crazy thinking about money?
"Thirty thousand US dollars." Xue Sangen looked very calm.
"too much."
"We have to dispatch a lot of people to participate in the investigation, not too many."
"This is really not a small amount."
"'Goshawk', 'Kite', 'Harrier', 'Buzzard', 'Vulture', 'Falcon', 'Vulture', there are many people who need to investigate."
Xue Sangeng's words showed that they had indeed investigated the information about the Eagle Group.
Zhu Yue also knows this codename, and it is indeed correct.
But it is obviously impossible to get 30,000 US dollars based on just a few code names.
"Not enough." Zhu Yue said.
"Perhaps I have seen three of them and can provide portraits."
"not enough."
"There is another photo." Xue Sangen said with a smile.
Afterwards, he did not give Zhu Yue a chance to speak, but said, "Team Leader Zhu can go back and think about whether it is enough."
The idea is to ask Zhu Yue to go back to Shen Lushui to discuss.
Anyway, they revealed all their trump cards.
If you want it, take it.
It’s fine if you don’t want it.
Drive away from Hongyanzui.
Song Shutang did not speak when he was talking to Xue Sangen again.
When he got in the car, he said: "They are too brave to ask for it."
"But if there are really photos, that's a different matter."
"Do you really want to agree?" Song Shutang asked.
"Go back and discuss it with the section chief."
All the way back to the Intelligence Department, the two went directly to find Shen Lushui.
Zhu Yue explained the situation.
"Thirty thousand dollars?"
"yes."
Shen Lushui could understand why U.S. dollars were needed. Prices in mountain cities these days are changing day by day.
"They are not sincere."
"But they can not only provide portraits, but also photos."
Shen Lushui was hesitant about this.
If it weren't for these, he would have lost interest in talking to the Red Party.
"Really?"
"They would definitely not dare to lie to us in a mountain city. If they can escape, the monks cannot escape from the temple."
"But this fund." Shen Lushui would definitely not pay for such a large amount of money by himself, and would need to be reimbursed by Corey.
But it’s not necessarily easy to apply for such a large amount of funding.
Zhu Yue said: "The Eagle Team's mission in the mountain city is not simple. If something goes wrong, our Intelligence Section will still have to take responsibility. If we can spend money to solve the problem and make meritorious deeds, then the money will be worth it."
Seeing such a good assist from Zhu Yue, Song Shutang simply stopped talking.
Let Zhu Yue speak.
Shen Lushui was indeed a little moved.
It's not that he was persuaded by Zhu Yue, but that the information the Red Party could provide was really tempting.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Lushui said: "I'll give the director a call."
With such a large sum of money, Shen Lushui could not make the final decision.
After the call was put through, Zhu Yue and Song Shutang were waiting aside.
Shen Lushui first explained the situation.
Later he expressed that he wanted to pay 30,000 US dollars.
After Shen Lushui hung up the phone, Zhu Yue asked hurriedly: "What did the director say?"
"The director agreed to use 30,000 US dollars to purchase information, but the Eagle Team must be uprooted, otherwise it will be deducted from our wages." Shen Lushui said.
Song Shutang suddenly said: "The director certainly didn't say so much."
Shen Lushui glared at Song Shutang.
The latter was indeed added by himself.
Zhu Yue also smiled.
"After all, money can't be wasted, you know?"
"Yes, section chief."
"The approval note signed by the director will be sent directly to the finance department. I will also give you a signed approval note. You can go to the finance department to collect the money with it."
"The section chief is not afraid that we will take the money and run away?" Song Shutang asked.
"If you really go to Wang Ni for the money, it's more than this."
"Section chief, don't insult people." Zhu Yue said immediately.
Then he followed up and said: "I would rather take the money and run away than go to Wang Ni."
"Take the note and get out of here." Shen Lushui laughed and cursed and threw the note to Zhu Yue.
