In Shanghai, in a secret private room of a Japanese-style izakaya, several people sat cross-legged around a low table, pouring glasses of wine and drinking it down. There was silence during the dinner, and no one spoke.
A similar scene is happening in Nanjing, Shanghai, in the north, on the island, on the boat, in many places. Some people are silent, some are shouting angrily, and some are running around to communicate, gathering and dispersing, without knowing what they are planning.
…
Although the two sides have fought many times in the past, they have always done so secretly and privately. Although this time they have not exposed it publicly, the situation of Zangben has become too big and attracted too much attention.
Almost all people with news channels are aware of the undercurrents under the water.
There were so many people talking, and unlike in the past when most of the relevant people knew about it, it would not be leaked out easily. Only one day passed, and the matter began to stir up some big and small undercurrents among various forces in various places.
"You guys are talking! The ones who suffered the losses were those red deer in the Navy. How did they treat us before? They were mocking and sarcastic, armed with guns and sticks. I went to see them today, and they all had stinky faces. This time they
The losses and casualties were heavy. It is said that none of the hundreds of elite soldiers who were selected and arranged to go there could escape. Let’s see if they can still be proud in the future!"
"...Bang..." Another person took a sip, put down the glass heavily, and said: "Yes! There is nothing worth feeling sorry for others! What does the red deer in the navy think about? Isn't it just that he is jealous of our harvest in the north! He wants to get a share of the pie.
He is not very polite, but when he sees that we have suffered a loss and is not vigilant, he ridicules and ridicules us in all kinds of ways, which is purely selfish."
"...but...no matter who it is, this is the empire's loss..." Another person spoke, his tone was sad and worried, and his brows were furrowed.
"...Ha..." The man who smashed the table sneered and said: "You treat others as colleagues, but others only laugh at you as an Army Red Deer. You can go over now and try to see if they can understand your kindness.
Do you have a good face and good words?"
As soon as these words came out, the person who talked about the overall situation immediately stopped talking. He was a little depressed and drank a few sips of wine. There was nothing he could do except being depressed. Now he dared to go over and try, even if he said something fancy, in the eyes of the other party
, I’m afraid they are all heart-breaking and ridiculing remarks.
"Forget it, it's pointless to dwell on this matter, let's talk about something useful! Although it was the Navy... Red Deer that suffered heavy losses this time, we were not able to stay away, and we also suffered the impact of involvement and failure."
"...We are also involved in the Navy Red Deer incident?"
The last person opened his mouth to smooth things over, and at the same time brought up some situations, which made several people look at him, and some even asked questions directly.
He pressed his hands and signaled the others not to get too excited, and explained: "There is no direct involvement, but there are some indirect mixing and connections, as well as some other related situations.
In this operation, in addition to those from the Navy's Red Deer, some people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also involved. Some of the subordinate intelligence personnel they used had a closer relationship with us. The arrest and murder of these people was also a big loss for us.
At the same time, in order to obtain some intelligence information about the Navy's Red Deer operation, we have conducted private transactions and cooperation with some people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We provide some information and assistance that the other party needs, and the other party will provide part of the situation of this operation.
In return, this is indicated above.
In addition, some time ago, due to some mistakes in decision-making and actions, we lost a large amount of funds. You should be very clear about this. For some funds and the problems caused by it, we also paid some other prices this time."
"Haven't we already found a solution to the money problem? Why are you still getting involved with the Navy Red Deer incident for the sake of funding?"
"..." He was a little speechless, but he still explained: "We have indeed found a way to earn funds, and we have also generated income, but it is not suitable to withdraw it to make up for the funding gap at the moment.
Because there is not much money that can be invested in the early stage, the income generated is also relatively limited, and the high-yield situation predicted has not yet arrived. At present, it is more appropriate to continue to invest the income and wait for the opportunity to expand the scale.
If the revenue is extracted now to supplement intelligence activities, although it can temporarily alleviate the funding gap problem, the scale of returns cannot be increased. This revenue is only a drop in the bucket, and the problem will never be fundamentally solved.
However, the impact of the current funding gap has gradually emerged. Due to the lack of funding, the work of some intelligence groups has been affected. Due to various considerations, we have accepted part of the funding provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we have provided some assistance and cooperation.
However, we only provide some peripheral assistance, intelligence support, and acquiesce in their actions, without interfering or hindering them. Moreover, we have not received any reports of losses so far, so let’s leave this matter alone!
But another issue caused by funding is more difficult. Due to various reasons, not many of the local intelligence forces in Nanjing are directly affiliated with the Army. However, most of them cooperated closely with us in the past. However, in recent times, due to issues such as financial support, the same forces have been affected.
We have drifted apart, developed a lot of rifts, and our cooperation has dropped to a very dangerous level."
Because Nanjing is the capital of the country, open and semi-public activities there can easily attract a lot of attention and affect the development of intelligence work. Therefore, the Japanese Army's intelligence development does not rely much on the institutions stationed in Nanjing.
Instead, it was carried out in Shanghai, under the guise of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' special high-tech department, military attaché, etc. It is reasonable that the navy here is more powerful, which will have many adverse effects on their work, but because the navy relies on independent agencies or garrison stations to carry out intelligence work
Considering various reasons, they also decided to use Shanghai as the headquarters center in the Jiangnan region to organize and direct all kinds of intelligence work.
As for Nanjing, the forces of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the main force, supplemented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other governments and other intelligence forces. Regardless of land and sea, the Japanese military only maintains its own presence here and does not have much to rely on for work.
Established in institutions in Nanjing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, their people still have an important job in Nanjing, which is to win over people from other forces to cooperate in intelligence and other aspects. In the past, except for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We have maintained close relationships with people from the navy and other famous parties.
However, due to insufficient funds, these 'extra' financial support could not be provided, and other people took advantage of the situation. Not only the Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also some people from the north also intervened. It was not until this incident that some problems were solved.
Revealed.
"What do you mean? Not only did the Navy Red Deer suffer this time, but we also suffered a lot of hidden losses?"
"It's true to say that there are hidden losses, but these are problems that were not exposed before. Because of this incident, the window paper was pierced and exposed.
And it's not just a hidden loss. We also suffered an overt loss, but it has little to do with us. It was caused by people from the north.
They had previously arranged a team of people to attack and assassinate some people in the intelligence department to eliminate the threat and save face, but in the end there were more than fifty people, and only a dozen of them returned injured and disabled."
"Is it not that some time ago, their actions were noticed by the Intelligence Department? As a result, the insiders who had been installed in the Intelligence Department in Hangcheng to bribe and instigate rebellion were found out. The other party also launched a counter-insurgency plan, which led to the bribery and bribery of many Intelligence Departments in various places.
The group of people who rebelled on the inside and caught us off guard?"
He nodded and said: "These people tried to shirk the blame and exposed their traces. In the end, they did not go back. As a result, they did not find an opportunity with the intelligence office. Instead, they attacked the people at the national secret service headquarters yesterday night and wanted to marry them."
Disaster sows the relationship between the two parties.
But I didn't expect that during the attack, I happened to bump into someone from the intelligence office. They were beaten and chased all night. They escaped this morning. There seemed to be other things happening in the middle, but I don't know all the details.
"
"What about picking and framing the blame? I think it's just to save face and evade accountability. I picked a group of rebellious people to go and die. Even the previous assassination team couldn't get even the slightest advantage from the opponent, so they just picked a few.
When the soldiers come, what can they do to eliminate the threat?"
"Don't be sarcastic. Those intentions are undeniable, but what if it were us? Why wouldn't we make the same choice? As a Chinese saying goes, crows should not laugh at pigs.
It's just that now everyone has suffered, sharing our pressure, and we don't appear to be so incompetent, so there is no need to do this. How noble are we?
And as far as I know so far, the people who escaped are quite capable. In other words, being able to escape from those people has already demonstrated their abilities. They are worth paying attention to. There may not be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
"
This person, who had been venting his dissatisfaction with sarcasm, finally stopped speaking in a snarky tone. He probably sensed that this person was quite dissatisfied with him verbally and had reached the limit of tolerance.
"From the current point of view, it is inevitable that the opponent will take over. How should we deal with this situation?"
One person at the table asked a worried question, which was also asked by several people. The fundamental question they gathered here to meet was how to deal with the rise of the Intelligence Department.
After being speechless for a long time, the person who had been explaining the situation finally said helplessly: "Since there is no good way to deal with it, let's avoid it for the time being! Reduce collisions with the opponent and avoid more losses.
At least this is the case in Nanjing. It is the opponent's territory and base camp, and it is also the most difficult place to deal with. Conflicts should be avoided as much as possible. Anyway, China is very big, and there are only so many people who are difficult to deal with. How many people can they take care of?
?”
As he said before, they are not any more noble than others! There is still no shortage of excuses in their words.
Of course, he did not make it clear that just because they have this self-awareness does not mean that others do. It would be good to let others rush in first, test and restrain them, and, among other things, buy some time for them to slow down.
"I don't want the situation to have deteriorated to this point just two years after the section chief was transferred. That explosion back then was really a disaster! And now those guys are showing up and jumping up and down, disgusting people. They are really hateful.
.”
Speaking of excitement, this person slammed his cup again. None of the people were dissatisfied with his words and actions, but looked sad, because almost all of them were the confidants of the person he mentioned.
Confidant.
On the other hand, one person looked thoughtful and pondered in his heart. The current situation may not necessarily be such a bad thing. He was transferred out due to some reasons back then. Will he be transferred back to host now because the situation is out of control? After all, that person has been in this position for many years.
In a critical situation, there are few suitable people who can stabilize the situation.
