Lin Mo returned to the yard and reported the situation to Xu Guyu in detail. Xu Guyu was very satisfied with the results, but what made him even more satisfied was Lin Mo's response.
Lin Mo took out two envelopes and said: "Section Chief, this is the address and admission ticket given by Scott."
With that said, Lin Mo handed over the envelope, but Xu Guyu didn't accept it and asked Lin Mo to keep it by himself.
"You keep the things, and you decide what to do with them. You can make up your own mind whether to send someone there yourself or to whom to hand them over."
"Isn't this... not good?" Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, unable to make up his mind.
"You, you! You do things beautifully, but sometimes you just lose your mind..." Xu Guyu poked Lin Mo's forehead with his finger, with a look of hatred on his face.
"First of all, it's not of much use if I get it, so I just hand it over to the office and it will be finished. In the end, it will most likely fall into the hands of the Intelligence Division or Shanghai. If this is the case, you might as well hand it over yourself. What else can you do?
Do me a favor.
Secondly, Scott gave you this thing, and there is also a favor from you. If you find someone who has little relationship with you to handle the matter, will Scott sell his face in the future? You should also be aware of Scott
His identity and background are not simple. With his kind of connections, he might gain something unexpected.
Finally, in the final analysis, this thing is just a ticket to the intelligence market. Scott also reminded you that whether you can gain something or how much you can gain depends on your ability, and the various relationships here are complicated.
, it may not necessarily fall into the hands of capable people.”
After listening to Xu Guyu's analysis, Lin Mo felt a little ashamed of his previous complacency, and also realized that he lacked understanding of the current situation in the department. He made up his mind to learn more about Lin Wenhua when he had time.
"Okay, you listen to me on this matter! Let's analyze the deeper issues in order to get the maximum benefit from it."
"Yes..." Lin Mo agreed, and then analyzed together with Xu Guyu, mainly from Scott's words, to understand the various forces in this intelligence market and see which ones they had common interests with and could win over.
cooperate.
However, what Scott revealed was really limited. After the two analyzed it together, they could only come up with a general framework. Detailed operations must be supported by more detailed intelligence.
"It seems that if you want to make big gains, you really have to rely on your own abilities. The office can at most provide some intelligence and financial support.
Speaking of which, when did this intelligence market appear? How come the Intelligence Department has never heard of it?"
Hearing the question raised by Xu Guyu, Lin Mo thought for a while and said: "Section Chief, I deduce that this intelligence market in Shanghai is many years old, and it should be traced back to the Qing Dynasty."
"Oh..." After hearing Lin Mo's answer, Xu Guyu became interested and asked, "What basis do you have?"
Lin Mo listened and explained: "Scott said that there are Japanese intelligence agencies operating in the Shanghai intelligence market, and according to what he said, Japanese intelligence agencies still operate normally like European and American intelligence agencies.
, not participating secretly in private.
A reasonable inference can be made from this situation that Japan's intelligence agencies may have been involved in the intelligence market in its early stages. In recent years, Japan has competed with European and American countries for interests in China. If the intelligence market was established during this period,
The intelligence forces of European and American countries are unlikely to include Japanese intelligence forces.
This period can actually be traced back to the fall of the Qing Dynasty. After all, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, China was a melee between various forces. Countries mainly relied on supporting domestic forces to compete for their interests in China. All parties had conflicts of interest. There was no such thing as
Basis for cooperation, especially with Japan.
As for the Qing Dynasty! On the one hand, China was still unified after all, and the Qing Dynasty was the common enemy of all the forces in China; on the other hand, the interests that Japan pursued in China at that time were mainly in the Northeast and North China. Even if there were conflicts of interest, they still had common interests.
Even in the case of enemies, there is a basis for cooperation. Unlike in recent years, Japan has expanded its interests in China and has repeatedly seized the interests of Europe and the United States in China.
As for the fact that the Intelligence Division was not aware of the existence of this intelligence market, it was actually not surprising. Taken together, the reasons were just the following.
First, the Intelligence Office was established only a short time ago, has a weak foundation, and has not inherited any intelligence legacy. This legacy refers to the Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang period. There were no modern intelligence agencies that could stand on the stage. Everything in the Intelligence Office basically relied on itself.
Explore a little bit.
The Intelligence Department is also very weak in terms of intelligence. This weakness does not mean how weak our capabilities are, but that what we are involved in is mainly concentrated in the country, and even within the government. We cannot trade with the government’s own intelligence. There is naturally no intelligence market.
Contact us as necessary.
Speaking of which, it still started late and has insufficient foundation. So far, the Intelligence Department can only be considered to have entered the threshold of a modern intelligence agency. We still have a lot to do.
Another reason! Foreigners seek interests in China and are always in conflict with China. They exclude us and deliberately avoid us. This is normal behavior in itself.
However, judging from the current situation, the colonial system around the world has gradually come to an end. Although European and American countries continue to seek to consolidate their interests in China, their willingness to turn China into their colony is no longer what it used to be. It can even be said that
has basically given up. Although the shield between the two sides still exists, there is currently a greater threat from both sides.
Japan's direct military expansion in China not only harms China's sovereign interests, but also infringes on the interests of European and American countries in China. However, based on Japan's military strength, the possibility of European and American countries sending troops to intervene for these interests is almost zero, but they have
In order to safeguard their own interests, the two sides currently have the basis for intelligence cooperation.
However, due to our own lack of strength and the contemptuous attitude held by European and American countries towards China, the time for direct official cooperation has not yet come, and even if it is promoted, there will be no good results.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The intelligence market in Shanghai is a good compromise choice for us at present. In it, we secretly conduct beneficial exchange of intelligence cooperation with the other party. The premise is to be profitable, even if the other party despises it
, and will not struggle with interests. At the same time, they cooperate in secret and save all kinds of official troubles. When the time comes in the future, official cooperation will be a matter of course."
"It seems like there is a lot of potential for this matter! ...Have you decided who will be contacted? Or are you ready to leave this matter to someone?"
Lin Mo heard this and said: "Section Chief, my senior brother in Shanghai is quite suitable. Firstly, he is already in Shanghai, which is convenient! Secondly, the Japanese have been operating in the intelligence market for many years, so they must be quite powerful.
, we have to go in quietly."
"Well..." Xu Guyu nodded and replied: "As long as you have an idea, I just want to emphasize to you, don't act too hastily, take your time, be steady, and don't waste this hard-won opportunity."
"Yes..." Lin Mo responded. Xu Guyu didn't mention the matter anymore. He chatted with Lin Mo for a while and then let Lin Mo go.
For the next two days, Lin Mo stayed in the yard, doing nothing except going out for a walk from time to time or walking to higher places.
However, early in the morning on the third day, Lin Mo summoned Shi Baocun and several people to start sorting out the files. The relevant reports were almost handed in and it took only one morning to sort them out.
But while sorting it out, Lin Mo felt that the analysis report on the seized chemical raw materials in the Jiajiang Warehouse case was too brief. Of course, the main reason was that it did not include the content that Lin Mo had guessed.
Just when Lin Mo was thinking about how to intervene in this matter, Lin Wenhua brought a batch of information, and Lin Mo asked him about it.
"Do you think it is important to know what these chemical materials are and what they are used for?"
In response to Lin Wenhua's inquiry, Lin Mo nodded affirmatively and said: "Brother, I think it is very important. The Japanese sent so many people to search for it, but I don't know what they are using it for! I feel very uneasy."
"Okay..." Lin Wenhua nodded and said, "I didn't handle this matter myself. I don't know much. Let's ask the section chief together!"
After saying that, Lin Wenhua and Lin Mo went to Xu Guyu and explained their intention.
"I have been paying attention to this matter, because you mentioned before that you want to find out the types and uses of these chemical materials, so I asked the department to invite several chemical experts to conduct research and identification.
But so far, these experts have only identified a small part of the raw materials. As for their uses, there has been no progress at all. Why, do you think this is important?"
Lin Mo nodded and repeated what he just said to Lin Wenhua.
When Xu Guyu heard this, he laughed and said: "According to the news from some secret channels in the department, the person who escaped from Jiajiang Warehouse at that time was only punished by staying in his job after escaping back to Shanghai. Several other related personnel also only received verbal reprimands.
, the Shanghai Japanese spy agency and all parties in Japan have not reacted to this matter, do you still think it is important now?"
Lin Mo listened and replied firmly: "The importance of sending so many people to search is self-evident, not to mention that the Japanese also spent so much thought on the goods, packaging, and transportation channels.
Moreover, the Japanese's reaction and handling of this matter were even more inappropriate. The operation failed and so many people were lost, but they were gently put down in the end. It felt like they were trying to cover up the truth."
"Very good. I have a firm attitude and won't waver in my thoughts easily. I saw you right..."
Xu Guyu nodded with satisfaction. The worry of seeing Lin Mo stay in the courtyard for the past two days disappeared at this moment.
Seeing that Lin Mo was confused, Xu Guyu did not explain much and returned to the topic, saying: "After receiving the news, the boss and I agreed with you and did not give up this clue.
However, our intelligence office is very unpopular in the cultural and academic circles. People who ask relevant experts and professors use various excuses to avoid it, so the progress is not smooth.
I remember that you have a relationship with Jinling University. If you want to know the answer as soon as possible, I can prepare a copy of the information and samples for you, and you can find someone to study it."
Lin Mo heard the meaning of Xu Guyu's words, which was to let him get the job done through connections, so he quickly agreed.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Guyu was unambiguous and immediately arranged for someone to go there to prepare materials and samples for Lin Mo.
After leaving Xu Guyu, Lin Mo and Lin Wenhua found a secluded place in the backyard and started chatting.
An hour later, the information and samples were delivered to Lin Mo, but Lin Mo did not make any move. Until the end of lunch, seeing that Lin Mo still did not take any action, Lin Wenhua finally couldn't help but ask.
"When are you going to go to school to find someone to do research?"
"Well...let's finish the other work on my hands first! There's no rush..."
"Is there something wrong with you?" Lin Wenhua saw that Lin Mo was a little distracted and felt something was wrong.
"Um...it's okay..." Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't speak. He just smiled and shook his head.
Lin Wenhua glanced at Lin Mo suspiciously, and did not ask again, but said: "If anything happens, tell me, remember you called me brother, I will always be on your side."
"Brother... I know, don't worry! It's okay." These words made Lin Mo feel warm in his heart, but Lin Mo still didn't say it. The main reason was that he didn't know how to say it! He couldn't...
Currently, there are only some simple finishing touches left in the file sorting work. Lin Mo no longer needs to keep an eye on it, but Lin Mo still stays in the courtyard. The few people who are following him, Shi Baocun, also feel that something is wrong.
…………
Early the next morning, Lin Mo got up early and washed up, then went to the backyard to exercise and box. He stayed active for nearly an hour before leaving sweating profusely.
"Hmm..." Lin Mo, who had just wiped off his sweat again, looked up and saw Zheng Junshan stretching, squinting his eyes and moaning with enjoyment.
"Old Zheng?... You came back so soon yesterday?... We promised you a marriage at home, why don't you stay with the girl for a few more days?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who..." Zheng Junshan didn't know if he was still confused, but he suddenly called out, and when he saw it was Lin Mo, he looked embarrassed.
After the embarrassment, he looked constipated. He didn't know it, but thought he had swallowed a live fly, which made Lin Mo look like a question mark.
Lin Mo didn't leave. After Zheng Junshan finished washing, he made an appointment to go out and buy breakfast together. From the breakfast stall next to the yard, he ordered some soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed dumplings and the like to bring back.
"How do you feel?" After entering the courtyard, Lin Mo suddenly asked an inexplicable question, which made Zheng Junshan look like a question mark.
"Oh..." Zheng Junshan seemed to suddenly realize it, and said with a smile: "There are many new residents around, there are more unfamiliar faces, and many new shops and stalls have opened in the alleys and streets nearby, which is much more lively than when we first came.
You said before that treasure hunting will increase the amount of money in circulation and promote business prosperity. I don't quite believe it, but when I go back and see, even my hometown town is much more prosperous, and my family's business has improved by 20 to 30%. I have to accept it.
You!"
Hearing what Zheng Junshan said, Lin Mo followed the words with a few words of humility, but he started to murmur in his heart, wondering if he felt wrong or if his nerves had been too tight recently...
Seeing Lin Mo and Zheng Junshan returning with a bunch of breakfast, Liu Zhenshan came over and spoke together. Of course, his target was also Zheng Junshan who suddenly returned.
"Old Zheng, why don't you spend more time with your wife? There's nothing here..."
"Ah..." Before Liu Zhenshan could finish asking, Zheng Junshan choked and it took a lot of effort before he could swallow it.
"Look at you, eat slowly..." These words made Zheng Junshan roll his eyes: If I hadn't exposed my scars, I would have been like this...
