Chapter 2328 Deep Cooperation
Dai Li personally accompanied Melles and his technical officials to the coast of eastern Fujian to conduct meteorological and hydrological surveys.

In this process, because of Dai Li's careful arrangements, Melles was deeply impressed by the activities and efficiency of the grassroots units of the military command.

When he asked Dai Li to provide him with information on hydrometeorology and the deployment of Japanese mines along the coast, within a few days, various intelligence stations in Taiwan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Philippines received telegrams, which surprised him.

He praised Dai Li as "smart and capable", "without the arrogance of ordinary Chinese officials", and getting along with him was "forgetful". Since then, he has actively carried out negotiations with Dai Li on cooperation.

Originally, according to US intelligence, Dai Li was just an assassin-like figure.

And the "Blue Shirts Society" related to him is also an organization similar to the "Gestapo".

Therefore, Admiral Jin of the U.S. Navy intentionally asked Dai Li to send Melles to any place he designated to test the activities of Dai Li and his organization.

It's just that Dai Li has successfully wooed Meles for this trip.

On June 6, Dai Li and Melles were targeted by eleven Japanese planes in Pucheng, and Melles was slightly injured.

When the two were hiding in the countryside, Dai Li proposed to Melles a plan to equip him with [-] troops. Melles immediately agreed, and he asked Dai to submit a specific list of required materials, which was then passed on to Admiral Jin.

After the "Pearl Harbor Incident", the Americans woke up like a dream and felt that the Chinese intelligence was of great value. They believed that the deciphering of the Japanese code was all done by the military.

As a result, the Chinese military command organization and Dai Li's name began to be valued by Americans.

In addition, the U.S. Navy was eager to understand the hydro-meteorological conditions in China's coastal areas because of the need to fight against Japan, and collected a large amount of Japanese naval intelligence.

As a result, finding a partner for intelligence cooperation in China has been put on the agenda of the US intelligence authorities.

During this process, besides Dai Li, another name of the Military Statistics Bureau frequently appeared in front of American intelligence officials:

Meng Shaoyuan!
It was this person who accurately informed the United States that Japan was about to attack Pearl Harbor, and at the exact time.

It was only because of special reasons that this vital information was not accepted by the US.

After the war between the United States and Japan, the military's huge organization, efficient operation, and accurate intelligence aroused great interest from the United States.

In particular, Dai Li and Meng Shaoyuan are called the core force of the military command by the US intelligence agencies and the treasures of the intelligence community.

Compared with the FBI, the US Office of Strategic Intelligence and the Office of Naval Intelligence paid more attention to the existence of Meng Shaoyuan.

Before Meng Shaoyuan arrived in the United States this time, Director Donovan had clearly instructed Leonard that he must promote cooperation between the two parties.

For Meng Shaoyuan's request, as long as it is not excessive, he can agree to it.

And Director Donovan also gave a strong hint that the minimum for the two parties is cooperation. If Meng Shaoyuan is willing to deepen this cooperation, then this will be "perfect and exciting."

Of course Leonard knew what it meant to cooperate further.

Therefore, Donovan attached great importance to the arrival of Peter Lin, that is, Tian Qi, and quickly entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

After meeting Meng Shaoben himself, Leonard was even more convinced of the necessity of fully cooperating with this person.

It was Meng Shaoyuan's first visit to the United States, at least Leonard thought so.

Even so, Meng Shaoyuan arranged their first meeting in an orderly manner.

"We welcome your arrival and are willing to have in-depth discussions with each other." Leonard said without hesitation:
"We have a common enemy, Japan. In order to defeat this enemy, I think China and the United States, especially the Bureau of Military Statistics and the Office of Strategic Intelligence, should cooperate at a deeper level.

We know that Peter Lin is your man, so when he arrived in the United States, he was immediately entrusted with important tasks. He also lived up to our expectations and successfully assisted General MacArthur to evacuate the Philippines.

An excellent subordinate must be accompanied by an excellent boss, you are, and so is Director Donovan.Now, what interests me is how you are willing to cooperate with us now and in the future. "

"There are many places where cooperation can be carried out. For example, after the Battle of Midway, the disastrously defeated Japanese army lost its command of the sea and air in the Pacific battlefield, thus losing its strategic initiative, and was therefore forced to stop its active strategic offensive.

However, the Japanese navy did not realize that its strength has been greatly weakened. I can provide you with the first information. At present, the Japanese army is revisiting the old story, hoping to relieve its pressure and occupy Australia by cutting off the connection between the US military and Australia. , thus regaining the strategic initiative.

I believe the United States has also noticed this. After the battle between Tulagi Island and Guadalcanal Island, the Gilbert Islands and the Marshall Islands will be the venue for the final battle between the two sides! ! "

Leonard listened very carefully.

Meng Shaoyuan continued: "I have already collected most of the information on the Japanese army, and this time I also brought it to the United States. I will hand it over to the Strategic Intelligence Bureau without reservation.

During the report, Director Donovan did not need to mention my name at all, and all credit will go to Director Donovan and the Strategic Intelligence Service. "

Leonard was a little surprised: "On behalf of Director Donovan, I would like to express my sincere thanks, but what good will it do you if you do this? What can you get out of it?"

"Cooperation is two-sided." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "There is no free giving, and there is no free receiving. Friendship is based on mutual interests.

I have a lot of things that need the help of the Strategic Intelligence Agency. For example, first of all, I think Peter Lin should get a more important position and give him more rights so that he can better cooperate with the Strategic Intelligence Agency. "

"We have also noticed this." Leonard interjected: "Director Donovan has appointed Peter Lin as the director of the secret intelligence department, and he will be in charge of a special unit to directly participate in the war."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Is it the 101st unit commanded by Major Eifler?"

Leonard was shocked again.

That's right, Major Eifler and his 101st Squad.

Their mission is to parachute into the subtropical forest in northern Myanmar.

Guerrilla, sabotage and rescue throughout Burma.

The question is, how did the Chinese know about this plan not long after it was formulated?
"Our intelligence system is very extensive." Meng Shaoyuan explained in this way: "Director Donovan prefers fighting and sabotage, he can accept collecting intelligence, but writing and analyzing intelligence is boring for him.

Therefore, in terms of information leakage prevention, it is not enough! "
