My years of espionage

Chapter 843 Branch Meeting
"Teacher!" Cheng Qianfan showed eager excitement, "The empire sent troops to the north, attacked the Soviet Union, and expanded the land for thousands of miles. The European powers were trampled under the feet of the empire again and again. Thinking of this grand scene, the students trembled and excited Endless."

"Although Soviet Russia is in turmoil, the size of Soviet Russia is huge. It is not easy for the empire to defeat it." Heitaro Imamura seemed not as optimistic as his students, and said with a slightly dignified expression.

Miyazaki Kentaro, who has always respected his teacher and is obedient, rarely disagrees with his teacher's attitude.

He retorted, "Teacher, don't let other people's ambition destroy your own prestige."

Cheng Qianfan's eyes glowed, his expression was agitated, and he said, "The empire once defeated the Qing Dynasty, and the Tsarist Russia twice. The two behemoths were beaten to death by the empire. Today's Soviet Russia will also be vulnerable to the empire."

He waved his right arm excitedly, "No one can stop the empire's footsteps!"

Seeing the passionate expression of Miyazaki Kentaro and the frenzied expression in Miyazaki Kentaro's eyes, Imamura Heintaro felt gratified and at the same time felt a trace of inexplicable worry.

As the counselor of the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai, Heitaro Imamura is already a senior diplomat with extraordinary vision. He has a good understanding of the domestic situation in Japan, the military situation, and even some secrets of the cabinet.

Within the Japanese army, there have always been "Navy Faction" and "Army Faction", and the two factions are incompatible with each other, and the contradictions are very deep.

The Army advocated sending troops to the north to join forces with the Germans, attack from east to west, and give Soviet Russia a "sandwich biscuit".

The idea of ​​​​the navy is to go south to invade Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia, take advantage of the situation to take over India, control the Indian Ocean, and then realize sending troops to the Middle East to join forces with German and Italian troops, and divide the world into three parts.

No, to be precise, it is to share the world with the Germans. The Italians' combat effectiveness was appreciated by Japan at first. However, the performance of the Italians in Ethiopia a few years ago really surprised the military.

go north?

Or go south?

The two armies of the sea and the army were arguing red-faced, and Tian Huang was also a little hesitant about this.

Under such circumstances, the military decided to launch a tentative attack on Soviet Russia in the north. If Soviet Russia was vulnerable, it would add heavy weight to the strategy of going north.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no particular preference for going north or south.

In addition, there is a voice within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that advocates not to expand the war.

Of course, there are voices within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that strongly support the expansion of the war.

Take the war against China as an example. After the "Wanping Incident", Foreign Minister Hirota advocated not to expand while openly supporting the dispatch of troops. This contradictory behavior also caused confusion within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a certain extent.

Heitaro Imamura is a radical expansion of the war faction, but although the counselor, who claims to be a follower of Yoshida Shoin, is radical, he is not completely irrational.

During this period of time, he focused on studying the situation in Soviet Russia, especially the economic data of Soviet Russia, and he had certain concerns about the military's northward strategy.

Without him, Red Polar Bear's heavy industry is very powerful.

The military strength of the Locust Army is indeed stronger than that of Soviet Russia. However, the empire must seek a quick victory. If it cannot defeat Soviet Russia at the beginning of the war, it is very likely to fall into a bitter battle.

Of course, it is difficult to elaborate on the worries with the students.

"It's nice to be young!" Heitaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, instead of being angry because of the student's rebuttal, he nodded with a smile.

"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan recovered from the turbulent emotions, showing panic, "It's the students who are being rude."

"It's okay!" Imamura Heutaro expressed emotion, "This is the vigor of young people! Seeing Kentaro, I seem to see the hope and glorious future of the empire."

Cheng Qianfan bowed his head in a respectful manner.

He had considered going deeper into the sidelines, and it would be better if he could find out the exact time of the Japanese army's attack on Soviet Russia. However, this idea just flashed in his mind, and he himself immediately vetoed it.

Too much too!

He got information from Pete that the Japanese army was about to attack the Soviet Union, and immediately came to Imamura Heutaro to confirm it, which was after careful consideration.

First, this move is tantamount to inadvertently revealing to Imamura Hyoutarou that the French are not strong enough in secrecy. The main reason is to set up a situation in advance to remove his suspicion. Not to mention, the French will be the best scapegoats if the news leaks out in the future for this operation today.

The second is proof. Compared with the words of Peter, a mid-level military officer in the French Concession, the words of Heitaro Imamura, the counselor of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, are "iron proof".

Now, being able to confirm from a senior diplomat like Imamura Heitaro that the Japanese army has decided to launch a military war against the Soviet Union is already extremely important military information.

……

"Pick me up in three hours." Cheng Qianfan got out of the car and told Li Hao.

"Brother Fan." Haozi showed hesitation.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Qianfan stopped and turned to ask.

"It's okay." Haozi squeezed out a smile and shook his head.

"Keep your mouth tight." Cheng Qianfan glared at Li Hao and said.

"Understood." Haozi nodded, and when Brother Fan entered the courtyard, he sighed sullenly.

Brother Fan is good at everything, but he is too carefree.

His sister-in-law Bai Ruolan treated him like a younger brother, so Li Hao's heart naturally leaned towards her, so it was inevitable that he felt a little bit wrong for her.

However, if he wanted to tell his sister-in-law, he couldn't do it. He would never do anything to betray Brother Fan, even if it was just such a trivial matter.

only--

Thinking of the identity of the hostess of this house, Li Hao couldn't help shaking his head again.

Brother Fan is really...

……

Cheng Qianfan entered the yard, came to the door, and knocked on the door with three long and three short codes.

The door opened, revealing Zhang Ping's charming and resentful face, the woman looked outside vigilantly, like a frightened rabbit.

"What's wrong? Where's the servant at home? Like a thief?" Cheng Qianfan pinched Zhang Ping's chin and teased.

"Aren't you a thief? I asked all the maids to go home." Zhang Ping gave 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' a bitter look, and pulled him into the door. The door was closed and the room was isolated. everything sounds.

After entering the door, I saw that the windows in the hall had drawn the curtains.

Comrade 'Piano' (Lao Huang), Comrade 'Flying Fish' (Lu Dazhang), and Comrade 'Abacus' (Shuli Zhao), the three of them were sitting on the sofa and talking in a low voice, when they saw Comrades 'Flame' and 'Harmonica' Gougoudata' came in, all holding back their smiles.

Especially Zhao Shuli, his expression was extremely weird, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "I kept everyone waiting."

……

This is the third secret meeting of the special party branch in the French Concession.

"Top-secret information." After Cheng Qianfan took his seat, he said straight to the point, "The Japanese side has decided to launch a war on the northern front."

Everyone's face changed.

"Soviet Russia?" Zhang Ping asked.

"Yes, Japan secretly contacted Britain and France. For the purpose of 'causing trouble to the east', Britain and France acquiesced in the Japanese launching military operations against Soviet Russia."

"'Cause water to the east'?" Lu Dazhang said in a deep voice, he thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Germany!"

Cheng Qianfan nodded, full of admiration in his heart, he deserves to be Comrade Flying Fish of the Special Branch Intelligence Division.

"Britain and France have always adopted a policy of appeasement towards Germany, but they are actually waiting for this opportunity. They expect that after Japan takes action against Soviet Russia, the Germans will be affected by this, give up plotting for Western Europe, and instead plunge into the war of aggression against Soviet Russia." Cheng Qianfan said.

"To drive the tiger to devour the wolf, I'm not afraid that the tiger will turn around and bite them." Zhao Shuli snorted coldly.

"Comrade 'Harmonica'." Cheng Qianfan looked at Zhang Ping, his expression was extremely serious, "Vidian!"

With Cheng Qianfan's growing power and influence in the French Concession, "Mr. Cheng" has received more and more attention.

Comrade 'Huomiao' currently has four radio stations, two of which are located in Chengfu, and one of them is a commercial radio station registered in the French Concession, which is legal.

Of the other two radio stations, one station was handed over to Zhang Ping. Unless it was an urgent telegram that required Cheng Qianfan to take the risk of sending it himself, Zhang Ping, the telegraph operator, was usually in charge of telegram communication with the headquarters.

However, there are two sets of codebooks, one is jointly controlled by Zhang Ping and Cheng Qianfan, and the other is the highest-level codebook that only Cheng Qianfan can master. For direct contact with comrades.

"Reliable information, the Japanese army has decided to open up a second front, and will launch troops against the Soviet Union on the northern front in the near future. The British and French have acquiesced in the plan of 'directing disaster to the east'."

Zhang Ping dictated the telegram again, and after confirming that it was correct, she went straight to the 'telegraph room' to send the telegram.

……

A few people were still digesting the shocking news that the Japanese were actually trying to open up a second battlefield while invading China, launching troops against the Soviet Union and Russia on the northern front.

"You little devil has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard." Lu Dazhang shook his head.

Soviet Russia is the big red brother, its land area, economy, and military strength are extremely huge, they can't imagine that the Japanese would dare to provoke Soviet Russia again.

The so-called "again" is because the Japanese army fought the Battle of Zhanggufeng with the Soviet Union last year.

The Battle of Zhanggufeng was a small and medium-sized battle between the Soviet Union and Japan surrounding the territory of China.

In the [-]-day battle, the Japanese army was finally defeated, and the Japanese army took the initiative to make peace, which was equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of the Soviet army's occupation of Zhanggufeng.

After the Japanese retreated, the Soviet army regrouped and reoccupied Zhanggufeng, the Chinese territory.

Yes, Japan and the Soviet Union were at war, and China was the biggest victim of this battle last year.

"The Japanese feel that they are doing it again, and they plan to find Soviet Russia to avenge their shame." Lao Huang said with a sneer.

"The Japanese defeated Tsarist Russia once, so they think they can beat Soviet Russia again?" Lu Dazhang said with a sip of tea, frowning.

"It's a gamble." Cheng Qianfan thought about it, "Based on what I know about the Japanese, they, especially the Japanese military, are extremely gamblers."

"I agree with Comrade 'Huo Miao'. When I was with my sister and brother-in-law, when I organized the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army in Baodao, my brother-in-law once commented on the Japanese like this." Zhao Shuli said in a deep voice.

Cheng Qianfan and the other three looked at Shuli Zhao, wanting to hear how Comrade Feng Yuqi viewed the Japanese during his lifetime.

Martyr Feng Yuqi led the anti-Japanese movement in Baodao, and conducted in-depth investigation and research on Japanese patriotism, so he has the right to speak.

"The military expansion of the Japanese was full of gamblers' thoughts from the beginning."

"As a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese side did not fear the prestige of the former Qing Dynasty, gambled on the country's fortune, and launched a war with all the power of the whole country."

"The Elegy of the First Sino-Japanese War, the small island country actually defeated the East Asian overlord, and the Japanese won the bet!"

"China has lost Treasure Island and North Korea."

"Then, the Russo-Japanese War was another gamble for Japan, and little Japan defeated Tsarist Russia."

"This gamble will establish the Japanese hegemony in Asia."

"After the Sino-Japanese War (War), the Russo-Japanese War (war) and the World War, Japan repeatedly gambled with its national destiny, and all of them were winners."

"Taiwan Islands, the Korean Peninsula, South Sakhalin Island and the former German colony all fell into the hands of Japan."

"September [-], it was Japan's gamble on the country's destiny again. Zhang Hansheng did not resist, and the Kwantung Army easily occupied the four eastern provinces."

Zhao Shuli's tone was sad, and he looked at the crowd, "The Japanese gambled on the national fortune four times, and they won all four times."

Cheng Qianfan was silent, and he said to himself, it should be five times. The fifth time the Japanese gambled on the national fortune was the Marco Polo Bridge Incident two years ago. However, Comrade Feng Yuqi had died for many years at that time, so he did not see this sad event. A scene of indignation.

However, even so, his admiration for Comrade Feng Yuqi did not diminish in the slightest!
At the same time, there was so much grief in my heart.

What an excellent comrade, he just died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders!

"As Comrade Feng Yuqi pointedly pointed out, the gambling nature of the Japanese is fully revealed on their road to nationalism." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "They have become accustomed to enjoying the dividends brought by gambling on the national fortune, or in other words, They even think arrogantly, 'My destiny is mine'."

"That's right, maybe it's because of this arrogant and fanatical mentality that the Japanese made the decision to go north." Lu Dazhang nodded and said.

Several people were silent for a while.

Let alone whether the Japanese attacked Soviet Russia were arrogant or not.

The Japanese invaders occupied the huge land of China, and hundreds of millions of compatriots became subjugated slaves. Such shame and pain cannot be expressed in words.

In the face of national crisis, revolutionaries only live to death!

……

"Old Zhao, tell me about your situation." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Shuli Zhao and asked.

Zhao Shuli "followed" Sanben Jiro's order, pretended to accept Qiu Xing's solicitation, and was accepted by the secret service behind Qiu Xing.

This day's special agency is code-named 'Tian', which is 'Tian Organ'.

The word 'acceptance' was described by Zhao Shuli himself. His feeling is that even though he joined the Tian organization, the Japanese are still wary of him and cannot get in touch with deeper things for the time being, so now he can only Even if it was accepted by the secret service, it was not fully recognized.

"The person in charge of the 'Tian Agency' should be extremely vigilant." Zhao Shuli said in thought, "Although I have joined the 'Tian' agency, my connection with this agency is limited to Qiu Xing."
