Yamaguchi Yoshikazu left Shanghai sadly, making the lives of Shanghai people better.
After all, the purpose of this person coming to Shanghai was to plunder the economy. However, the newly formulated policies were abandoned just after they were implemented because the person in charge left. Naturally, the rest of the people would not continue to implement them.
For the next period of time, Shanghai fell into a strange calm. All anti-Japanese forces were doing their own things and using this time to develop their power.
This is also because there is no major war breaking out on the current Sino-Japanese battlefield. The Japanese military continues to shrink its defense lines and does not engage in combat with the Chinese army at all.
Li Yunsheng also used this time to collect information about traitors big and small in Shanghai, planning to wait until the Japanese surrender before starting the liquidation.
The period of peace was short-lived. Li Yunsheng had just sorted out some information on the traitors, and the agents of several major powers were once again concentrated in Shanghai.
The reason is that the United States has lost an important piece of information,
And it is the most advanced weapon information, which can affect the entire battle situation.
The information was stolen by Soviet agents, but war was raging in the Atlantic Ocean, and Europe was in a scorched earth. Therefore, after the Soviet agents stole the information, they planned to return home from the Pacific region by ship.
After all, the current Soviet Union has not declared war on Japan. Although the two countries do not trust each other and are even hostile to each other, they can maintain a superficial calm.
If the matter had not been exposed, it would have been possible for the Soviet agents to take away the information based on their abilities.
But for some reason, the secret of the Soviet agents taking away the information was exposed in advance.
Pursued by agents from various countries, the Soviet agents boarded a Japanese merchant ship bound for Shanghai with difficulty and then disappeared.
After receiving the news, the Japanese intelligence agency immediately started investigating the matter, intending to find the Soviet agents who had stolen the information and keep the information as their own.
Even because of this matter, the Japanese intelligence agency sent special personnel to Shanghai to integrate all the agents in Shanghai to investigate the matter.
Germany, the Japanese ally, also sent a large number of personnel to Shanghai, and therefore promised many benefits in order to obtain this information.
The information that was so valued by several major military powers naturally attracted the attention of the National Government and the underground party.
After further investigation, the information was obtained. Even because of the relationship with the Soviet Union, the underground party in Shanghai will try their best to find this information.
The information was studied together by Americans and British, most of the data on nuclear fission reactions, and some other related information.
Although complete atomic bomb data has not yet been formed, once other countries have this data, the process of nuclear fission research will be advanced a lot.
Especially for Germany, which has strong nuclear weapons research capabilities, if this information can be obtained, it will be of great use.
As for countries like Japan, although they do not have enough scientific and technological strength, they have not yet begun to research atomic bombs.
But this information will bring huge benefits to Japan, or at least unimaginable benefits from Germany or the Soviet Union.
The Nationalist Government has also received requests from the Allies and plans to make every effort to find this information.
"Did the investigation reveal anything?"
On the first day after receiving the news, Li Yunsheng asked the intelligence forces of the military command to investigate the whereabouts of the Soviet agents.
Because Li Yunsheng knew how important this information was, he would get involved even if there was no order from the Military Command Headquarters.
"There is no news yet. We only know that the Soviet agent who escaped is definitely not alone."
Xu Bing responded immediately, with a bit of confusion in her tone, because she didn't know why her boss took this matter so seriously.
Since receiving the news, Li Yunsheng put down other work and investigated the matter immediately.
Even before the Military Command Headquarters got the news, the Shanghai Station started investigating.
This move made Xu Bing very confused. After all, Li Yunsheng's attitude was too anxious and not as steady as usual.
Li Yunsheng didn't notice Xu Bing's doubts, because all his energy was spent thinking about the matter and analyzing various clues, hoping to find the Soviet agents as soon as possible.
"Do you think this Soviet agent has any other identity?"
After confirming that the Soviet agent came to Shanghai, the military commanders have been investigating, but this person quickly disappeared, like a stone sinking into the sea.
In fact, the Shanghai Station was able to get the news as soon as possible because of the tip-off from Murakami Rokuzhu.
Because the Soviet agents boarded a merchant ship bound for Shanghai before being exposed, but they disappeared before disembarking.
"This is not necessarily true, but most of the people on the Nailu cruise ship are now controlled by the Japanese military. Is there any inside story?"
The Nailu cruise ship is a Japanese merchant ship sailing from Singapore to Dalian.
Most of the people on the merchant ships were Japanese, with only a small number of white people.
These white people are all from Japan's allies, so the Japanese military will not easily embarrass them.
The Soviet agent also got on the ship, but before he got off the ship, the matter was exposed.
After receiving the news, the Japanese military immediately issued an order to sail the merchant ship to Shanghai, and sent the navy to control the merchant ship.
However, after arriving in Shanghai, the Soviet agents on the ship mysteriously disappeared.
If this merchant ship had not arrived at the Shanghai dock under the escort of the Japanese navy, the Japanese military would have suspected the staff on the ship.
Even so, everyone on the Nailu was controlled by the military, and the entire Nailu was searched for three days.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet agents could not escape at all, but they were still on the ship before, but they disappeared inexplicably. Naturally, the Japanese military did not believe this result, so they continued to investigate.
"If there is any inside story, Murakami Rokuzhu should know about it."
No other news came from the Murakami Six Pillars, so Li Yunsheng believed that the Japanese did not have any inside information.
After all, one of the people who searched the merchant ship was Murakami Rokuba, who had seen everyone on the ship with his own eyes.
What's more, the Shanghai Pier is still under martial law. Japanese Navy Rear Admiral Saburo Hattori and Japanese Army Lieutenant General Naoo Abe, who have just arrived in Shanghai, have been staying at the dock.
"There are only two possibilities. The first is that the people are still on the ship, but they don't know where they are hiding, playing hide and seek with the Japanese.
However, this possibility is very small, because the space of the Nailu is not large, and the Japanese army is looking for it bit by bit. Even if the Soviet agents are powerful, they cannot escape.
The second possibility is that the Soviet agents jumped into the sea to escape before the Nailu arrived in Shanghai. Only in this way can they mysteriously disappear."
Xu Bing expressed his analysis, but these two results were both judgments.
"If the person is on the ship, there is nothing we can do. But if the person jumps into the sea, there should be someone to help him. I don't believe that such a powerful agent will seek his own death."
Jumping into the sea to escape is something that only appears in myths. No one can swim to land even in offshore waters.
Therefore, Li Yunsheng was sure that if the Soviet agents really jumped into the sea before the Nailu arrived in Shanghai, there would be someone to respond, and this person would be very familiar with the situation in Shanghai.
Only in this way will the Soviet agents not be buried in the sea and take the information back...
