Going up to the peak is not just about listening to the difficulties, but more importantly, hoping to see the results. As for the hardships of the process, that is the Intelligence Office's own business. The overall environment in the country is not good. There are so many military command bureau agencies behind enemy lines. Which one has smooth sailing?
of?
The situation outside the customs is indeed special. The Japanese and puppets have very strong control and the situation is much worse than in other areas. But this is not the reason!
It is absolutely unacceptable to give you three provinces of land, give you so many people and so much money, and then bring out a lot of difficulties after all the troubles.
"Sir, what is the identity of this Chen Mingxiang in our Military Control Bureau? He can actually come to listen to the report on behalf of the station commander. This is his identity as a special commissioner." said Xu Chennan, chief of the intelligence section.
"The people who come from the bureau headquarters to represent Boss Dai are called special commissioners. Our station can only send representatives. Don't talk nonsense! Chen Mingxiang has a close relationship with the bureau headquarters. In fact, the directly affiliated station was originally established to be responsible for assisting Huatong Trading Company and the Kuomintang District.
material transactions.”
"The webmaster would not just entrust such a matter to Chen Mingxiang casually. He must have joined the direct station a long time ago. I don't know what role he plays, but I infer that he has made such a great contribution to the bureau headquarters.
Maybe he's the deputy webmaster." Li Chengliang said.
It seems a little inappropriate to represent yourself, but on the intelligence front, this kind of thing is very reasonable.
Chen Mingxiang's true identity must not be leaked. This is a matter of principle. However, in the current chaotic situation, there is no danger in letting people know that he joined the Military Command Bureau.
For lunch, Chen Mingxiang had lunch with Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara. The chief of staff of the Kwantung Army was also very busy right now. Just deploying so many troops and forming so many new troops was a lot of tedious work every day.
affairs.
Chen Mingxiang also heard some information. For example, the Japanese army mobilized troops from the Kwantung Army on such a large scale and formed new troops, but they were all second-rate troops with little combat effectiveness. This also caused panic in the puppet Manchukuo, but the fact was better than
With eloquence, confusion is inevitable.
"Sir, there is someone who claims to be your old friend in Shanghai. His name is Liang Chengli. Do you want to meet him?" The manager of the head office reported to the office on the third floor.
"Invite people to the reception room. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a happy event in life after all. If you have nothing to do, don't come upstairs." Chen Mingxiang nodded and said.
What Liang Chengli? This is Li Chengliang, the Director of Intelligence!
Li Chengliang, Intelligence Section Chief Xu Chennan, Operations Section Chief Shen Zhihui, and Inspector Feng Han from the bureau headquarters followed a female clerk to the third floor and entered a reception room. Outside the door and on the stairs were several of Chen Mingxiang's bodyguards.
Guarded, openly armed with guns.
"Sit down, don't worry about your status, position, or conversation form. When working in a special environment behind enemy lines, it's better to be as simple as possible." Chen Mingxiang pointed to the sofa next to him.
"Mr. Chen, on behalf of the Foreign Intelligence Service, I would like to thank your Xinjing branch for the financial support it has provided us, which has also solved a big problem for us." Li Chengliang said.
He saw that Chen Mingxiang had no intention to speak for the time being, so he had to bite the bullet and take the initiative to speak. The other party put a lot of psychological pressure on him, just like a subordinate who made a mistake, facing his own leader.
"Yes, I have invested a lot of money in the Foreign Intelligence Office of your direct station, but the input and output are not directly proportional. Other intelligence offices are engaged in assassinations, infiltration, instigation, and intelligence. It is very lively.
, but you are so quiet outside the customs."
"I remember that towards the end of the 31st year of the Republic of China, your Foreign Affairs Intelligence Office was officially established. It has been two years now, right? The Japanese and puppet intelligence departments have nothing to do with it. The police station only came into contact with a few minions.
There is almost no important information, which is really unjustifiable." Chen Mingxiang said.
"I feel ashamed to say that we have indeed failed to achieve anything and have failed to live up to Shangfeng's expectations for the Intelligence Department. I am willing to accept the punishment from the station." Li Chengliang said.
Although Chen Mingxiang's words were not very harsh, they were clear accountability. Of course he could hear that if there was only input but no output, wouldn't that mean a loss-making business?
"Mr. Chen, you have been outside the customs several times, and your contacts are with intelligence agencies, gendarmerie, and the Security Bureau. You should have some understanding of the environment in Manchukuo. The environment here is much crueler than that in North China. In Central China,
The region is even more incomparable.”
"The Japanese army occupied the area outside the customs very early and vigorously promoted enslavement education. It was a bad state of comprehensive suppression. For example, the police officers in the police station all graduated from the police academy. Not only were their minds poisoned, but their professional abilities were also greatly improved.
"
"We are not afraid of fighting the enemy, but the enemy is very alert. Too obvious contact may arouse their suspicion. The largest field unit of the Military Command Bureau in the puppet Manchukuo cannot be destroyed in our hands.
"Feng Han argued.
He was sent to the Foreign Intelligence Service from the bureau headquarters, and he also had a supervisory function. After all, in the Puppet Manchukuo, the Military Command Bureau only had some deeply lurking personnel left, and they did not dare to come out casually. Boss Dai also had high expectations for the Foreign Intelligence Service.
high.
But after he came to Xinjing, he discovered that the enemy's control was too strong and surveillance networks were everywhere. No wonder the former Military Command agencies had been cracked. The environment here was much crueler than imagined!
If you want to collect intelligence, you have to get in touch with important departments of the Japanese and puppets, such as the puppet police, military police officers, and officials of the puppet government. These are all development targets.
The Intelligence Division used the funds from the Xinjing Branch to do some business in various places, hoping to slowly instigate rebellion by dealing with these people.
Let's put it this way, I just don't dare to take too big steps, or I haven't found the direction and don't know how to deal with the current situation.
"It sounds very reasonable. Then according to what you said, the Foreign Intelligence Service is just a decoration to prove that the Military Command Bureau still has underground organizations here. So what is the value of its existence?"
"Beginning in June, the Kwantung Army transferred four infantry divisions and one tank division to the Philippines, three divisions and an artillery headquarters to the Okinawa area, as well as a large number of artillery units, and formed its own
Six infantry divisions and three brigades, including a tank brigade."
"The mobilization of Japanese troops, especially the entire organic divisions, brigades and regiments, cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested, but I have never heard of relevant information being sent to the direct-affiliated station. This is the simplest surveillance.
, have you lost even the most basic abilities?" Chen Mingxiang said lightly.
