Before Boss Dai could worry about how to apply for a reward for Chunfeng, the problem came. Chunfeng needed intelligence support from the bureau headquarters to verify whether his other important information was true and reasonable.
When Chen Mingxiang heard Lieutenant Colonel Ono say that the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu had intelligence personnel investigating the situation at Pearl Harbor, he thought of using the capabilities of the bureau headquarters to collect some information.
The Yamashiro government has its own monitoring and deciphering agencies for Japan. The largest one is the technical research room under the Central Military Commission's Confidential Office, and then there is the Special Technology Research Office of the Telecommunications Division of the Military Command Bureau. But now the military command's code deciphering is in the Technical Research Laboratory of the Central Military Commission.
Under the control of the office, the director is Mao Qingxiang.
"Inform Wei Daming and send me a copy of the relevant information from the technical research laboratory. I will report it to the committee immediately. This matter must be approved by the old man himself," Dai Li said.
Wei Daming is the director of the Telecommunications Division of the Military Command Bureau, with the rank of Major General of the 6th Army. He is responsible for the communications and cryptography work of the Military Command Bureau. He is an extremely powerful role and plays an important role in the Military Command Bureau. He is now also the deputy director of the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission.
Looking at Riddle, who looked a little haggard, Chen Mingxiang also felt a little embarrassed. His cooperation with the British businessman started in June, and it has been half a year now, and it has brought him a huge wealth of at least two million US dollars.
The Japanese army is about to attack the concession. The foreigners in the British and American concession will probably become prisoners. It is completely different from the comfortable life now. Do you want to remind Riddle?
"Your Excellency, since Japan has been sanctioned by the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands, due to its own demand for oil resources, it will break up with the British Empire sooner or later. By then, the concession will no longer exist, and the situation will become very dangerous. I
I think it would be better for you to return home as soon as possible." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for the reminder. With this sentence, we are the real friends. War between Japan and us is inevitable. The government has long been mentally prepared for this."
"But there are nearly 10,000 British expatriates in the concession. As the highest administrative official of the British government in the concession, I cannot abandon them and return to the country. This is my responsibility and mission." Riddell shook his head and said.
It is simply a joke to say that the U.S. and British governments are not aware of Japan's wolf ambitions. The people in charge of the British and American concessions have long been mentally prepared for this, but they just don't know when the war will break out.
"I also admire your persistence very much. If there ever comes a time when you need my help, please feel free to help you and your family leave Shanghai. It won't be a big problem," Chen Mingxiang said.
He is definitely not bragging. Huatong Trading Company's goods are exempt from inspection on Route 6, and the Navy will not investigate his goods. When people are put on the freighter, the journey is basically smooth.
This is a long-term plan, selling favors to the British government. Chen Mingxiang believes that if the Japanese army attacks Southeast Asia, under the joint attack of multiple countries, especially with the United States participating in the war, the possibility of the Japanese army winning is extremely slim.
Later, Chen Mingxiang went to the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, met with Davis, and expressed his goodwill. There was also smuggling trade going on on both sides.
"The bureau headquarters called back. This is top-secret information provided by the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been in close contact with the Consulate General in Honolulu for several days in a row, and has already called the Ambassador to the United States."
"Request that the code books be burned, leaving only an ordinary code book, all confidential information be burned, and depositors be notified to transfer the funds to neutral banks. The imperial government will take decisive action in accordance with the decision of the Imperial Council. Commissioner Chi of the Confidential Room of the Military Commission,
This is believed to be a precursor for Japan to take military action against the United States."
"Jiang Yiying, director of the Xiamen Radio Station of the Military Command Bureau, intercepted a strange message at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. It was very brief. It seemed to be a set of numbers at the end. Based on your information, she believed that the Japanese army started a war.
The operation code name, the four numbers are 1208." Wang Zhen said.
"That's right. What Major General Maeda Masami said is absolutely correct. Sure enough, the actions of the Japanese Army and Navy happened at the same time. I will call Boss Dai right away." Chen Mingxiang said.
December 8th was the core time point to take unified action. He believed that there would be no problem with the inferences of several naval officers. The target of the combined fleet must be Pearl Harbor, where the U.S. Pacific Fleet is stationed. Currently, there are only eight
More than ten hours!
The military operations of the 6th Army have been arranged in advance. The generals at the division commander level are very clear about the time and tasks. So this secret message is most likely an action order from the Japanese Navy!
"Secretary, Dongfeng called. He synthesized all the information and came to an accurate conclusion. The Japanese Navy's main combined fleet will launch a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the port where the U.S. Pacific Fleet is stationed, on December 8th and in the Honolulu area on December 7th!"
Mao Renfeng was also excited.
Dai Li didn't say a word. He rushed to Huangshan's official residence with the telegram. Half an hour later, he returned to the Military Command Bureau and immediately ordered to report to the chief of the American Intelligence Station of the Military Command Bureau, asking him to forward the information to the mountain city government.
The attaché of the Embassy in the United States, notifies the United States Department of the Navy.
"Success or failure depends on this. There will be no mistakes in the actions of the Japanese Army. The key is the actions of the Japanese Navy. In fact, the US government may not care about the intelligence of our Military Control Bureau, and it may be thrown into the garbage.
." Chen Mingxiang said to Wang Zhen.
"You have worked too hard during this period. Take a good rest for two days. Anyway, the information has been given to the bureau headquarters, so just wait patiently for the results." Wang Zhen said.
Chen Mingxiang was indeed very busy and hard during this period. Not only did he have to prepare supplies for the Japanese army, but he also had to contact Japanese military officers to obtain evidence for his intelligence. In addition, he was highly concentrated, and his strings were too tight, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Too bad.
"How is this possible? The more this time comes, the more nervous I become. The Japanese army is about to capture the concession, and the property of Americans and British people inside will definitely be occupied. Since we can't change the facts, let's think about the problem from another angle. This way
With a huge amount of wealth, I have to get something, right?"
"Although the Shancheng government and the Military Control Bureau have issued warnings to the Americans, I also have this connection in the Shanghai stock market, which is just used to sell personal favors. Whether they believe it or not is one thing, and whether I say it or not is another matter.
People should take a longer-term view, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future!”
"Also, in the eyes of the Japanese, I am a 'loyal follower' of the Empire of Japan. The Japanese army has achieved such a great victory at the beginning, so I have to show it, right?"
"It's just that I'm a little strange now. What does that short message mean? I have to figure it out sooner or later!" Chen Mingxiang said.
