My years of espionage

Chapter 891 Blacksmith
That day, He Guan knocked on the door, and heard a "please come in" from inside.

"Please close the door."

The door is hidden.

He pushed open the wooden door, locked the latch with his backhand, and entered the yard.

Lying quietly in the yard under the morning sun, it can be seen that the slightly messy flowers and plants are desperately growing.

Because of the sunlight angle of view, it makes the room look dark.

A figure was busy, and there was a choking smell in the air.

He Guan enters the house.

The man in the room straightened up, clapped his hands, and smiled wryly, "The briquettes were damp, so it took a lot of effort to light the fire."

He Guan was taken aback.

He quickly reached his waist, and he wanted to draw his gun.

Then he saw the other party smile and said, "Comrade Huang Zhongyuan, hello, I am 'Blacksmith'."

He Guan had already touched the pistol with his right hand, He Guan stopped his next move, and looked at the other party with incredulous eyes.

It turned out to be Zhao Shuli.

This inspector of the Central Police Department of the French Concession turned out to be the "blacksmith" comrade who was going to meet today!
Zhao Shuli knew that his current alias was 'Huang Zhongyuan', and he also knew the code name 'Blacksmith'.

There is also a security mark on the wooden door.

These are enough to show that Zhao Shuli is indeed the comrade of our party who came to meet.

However, because of the special status of the connector, He Guan still dare not be careless.

"What are Inspector Zhao talking about?" He Guan shook his head, "What Huang Zhongyuan? Inspector Zhao doesn't even know me."

He frowned, showing vigilance, "Boss Tan, he asked me to meet here."

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Shuli's face, and he said, "Tan is always from Chongqing, he fled Shanghai long ago, Master Guan doesn't know?"

As he said that, he took a closer look at He Guan, "Or, is Young Master Guan the job in Chongqing now?"

The code is correct.

Generally speaking, there are three types of joint codes for underground work.

One is a seemingly normal everyday conversation, but it contains details that only the two parties know.

For example, one person said, big cousin, where have you been? I went to Pijia Street in Nanshi to look for you but I couldn't find you.

The man replied, fart, I saw you on Pijia Street, you owe me three or sixty cents, you just hide from me on purpose, right?

Among the joint codes, the most important are the two specific marks of Nanshi Pijia Street and three yuan and sixty cents, which are used to distinguish each other.

There is also a joint code, which is a specially set preface and postscript that need to be corrected each other.

For example, one person said, Boss Huang, I was introduced by the second brother of the Wu family.

The man said, you made a mistake, my surname is Wang, the king of Wang Ermazi.

Then the man said, oops, I made a mistake, the second brother of the Wu family was referring to the landlord.

"That's right, I'm Fang Huang, square and square, the sun is shining."

In this way, the head is connected. However, the occasion of this type of connection needs to pay special attention to privacy, and there should be no outsiders around, because this kind of dialogue is problematic, and it is strange if outsiders do not suspect it if they hear it.

There is also a secret code for meeting in private, which is He Guan and Zhao Shuli's meeting this time.

Qin Detai is a sensitive topic.

No one would have thought that they would use Tan Detai as a signal to connect.

"Comrade 'Blacksmith'."

"Comrade Huang Zhongyuan."

He Guan and Zhao Shuli held hands together, they looked at each other and laughed.

The water boiled.

Zhao Shuli was carrying a kettle to make tea, and the two talked about things while drinking tea.

"I would never have thought that Inspector Zhao was one of our own." He Guan shook his head and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that the comrade who came up from the team would be you, Aguan." Zhao Shuli also said with emotion.

……

"Kintaro, do you know why the Kwantung Army advertised this defeat as a great victory?" Imamura Heitaro glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro and said.

"No. 20 Third Division, No. 60 Fourth Regiment are disappointing, shameful, they are a disgrace to the Locust Army." Cheng Qianfan said angrily, "To whitewash a defeat into a victory is nothing more than..."

"Exaggerating the enemy's battle losses and reducing one's own losses" is a common occurrence in the Japanese army. Strictly speaking, this kind of thing is nothing.

"It's just an empty joy." Cheng Qianfan finally let out a long sigh.

Heitaro Imamura glanced at the student and patted him on the shoulder, "Kentaro, you have to know that the loss of a battle is just one of the ordinary big and small battles in terms of a battle."

Heutaro Imamura opened the curtain hanging on the west wall.

"The battle on the Haraha River is still just a tentative contact." Heitaro Imamura pointed to the 'Manchurian-Mongolian border' on the map and said, "Although the results of the initial trial are not very satisfactory, but who will win the battle in the follow-up Still unknown."

"What the teacher said is very true." Miyazaki Kentaro seemed to have gained confidence from the teacher's words, and his eyes regained the light, "According to the telegram, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces have more troops than the information before the war. The defeat was due to the fact that the locust army was not brave enough, and it was very likely that there was a mistake in the intelligence and fell into the trap of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces."

Hearing Miyazaki Kentaro's words, Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly after thinking for a moment.

Miyazaki Kentaro is an agent, and Kentaro has almost never been directly involved in operations, mainly responsible for intelligence work. Now Miyazaki Kentaro analyzes the battle that took place on the Haraha River from the perspective of intelligence, which is quite reasonable.

"Your analysis also makes sense." Imamura Heitaro stared at the map, "If you lose the first battle, if you can sum up in time and find the crux of the problem, it will be a good thing."

"The hungry tiger of the Kwantung Army has opened its mouth wide open." Heitaro Imamura said, "I will never be satisfied without biting off a large piece of flesh and blood from the Soviet Union's mouth."

He glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro who was staring at the map with hope and some worry, and smiled slightly, "Okay, the war in the north is too far away from us, I have a task to explain to you .”

"Teacher, please tell me." Cheng Qianfan looked away from the map and said respectfully.

"The war on the Haraha River, the empire appeared to be fighting the Outer Mongolian army, but it was actually a war with the Soviet Union." Heitaro Imamura said, "I believe that both the English, the French, and the Americans understand this. "

Looking at the huge polar bear marked in red on the map, he frowned slightly, "The attitudes of the European powers, especially the British and the French towards the northern war..."

"Britain and France should be happy to see the empire fight Soviet Russia on the border between Manchuria and Mongolia." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.

"It's not British and French." Heitaro Imamura shook his head, "It's German."

"German?" Cheng Qianfan showed surprise, "Teacher, I don't understand."

"You don't need to understand, your task is to find a way to find out the attitude of the Germans on this matter." He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "I remember you once said that the people from the German Consulate in Shanghai tried to win you over."

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I reported this matter to you, teacher. They only contacted me tentatively. I followed the teacher's instructions and did not refuse or nod."

"Close to them." Heitaro Imamura said in a deep voice, "Find out Germany's true attitude towards the war between the Empire and Soviet Russia."

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan saw Imamura Heutaro's solemn expression, and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

The battle in the far north, to be precise, was a defeat, and the emotional impact on Imamura Heutaro seemed to be more serious than what Imamura said in his words.

Cheng Qianfan didn't dare to disturb the 'teacher', he said his goodbyes wisely and left.

When they got downstairs, Cheng Qianfan chatted with Kogoro Imamura again, left two bottles of good wine gift box for the teacher, and left worriedly.

Standing at the window of the study, watching the student Miyazaki Kentaro get in the car and leave, seeing the tail lights of the car disappear, Imamura Heitaro turned around and stared at the map on the wall again.

His expression is dignified.

For the Imperial Army's "northern advance" strategy, Imamura Heitaro did not support it, or considered this strategy with a very cautious attitude.

Without him, Soviet Russia's huge military strength and strong industrial strength make calm diplomats like Imamura Heutaro fearful.

Knowing from his friends that the Kwantung Army took the initiative to attack the Soviet and Mongolian Allied Forces at Nomenkan on the Hariha River, Imamura Heutaro has been paying attention to the results of the battle and possible follow-up progress.

The No.60 Fourth Regiment was completely annihilated. Heitaro Imamura was shocked to hear the bad news.

He called his friend to inquire about the Kwantung Army's follow-up actions.

However, even if his friend hadn't called back yet, Imamura Heutaro could already guess the possible reaction of the Kwantung Army.

The Japanese Kwantung Army, which has always gone its own way, is "urgent to fight the Soviet Army" from top to bottom, because the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army have no important opponents except for a small number of "Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance", and they are very eager for new military adventures.

The Kwantung Army's desire for war is even higher than the troops sent in China.

After the North Korean troops stationed in Zhanggufeng failed in the battle, the Kwantung Army has been waiting.

The battle on the banks of the Haraha River was just the beginning of the war.

There are only two possibilities for the trend of the battle. First, the Kwantung Army wants to fully test the strength and attitude of the Soviet Army. If possible, it will completely defeat the great enemy of Soviet Russia. The Kwantung Army will create a new legend of the Imperial Locust Army.

Second, the Kwantung Army encountered a real major setback, and its strategy of advancing northward was hit hard, so it had to temporarily stop its troops.

Of course, not only the Kwantung Army, but also the attitude of the Japanese domestic military and cabinet towards this battle.

Imamura Heutaro took out a telegram from the drawer.

This is a telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from China.

Compared with the strong fighting spirit of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese government and military were cautious about starting a war with Soviet Russia.

On the one hand, it is worried about the huge military strength of the Soviet Union and Russia, and on the other hand, the victory or defeat of the battlefield in China's customs is still undecided.

Therefore, when the Kwantung Army reported the conflict on the Haraha River and demanded to continue to increase its troops, the Japanese high-level officials quarreled, and neither of the two factions who advocated expansion or not expanded could persuade the other.

In the end, Lu Xiang came up with a compromise idea: "Let the Kwantung Army handle the small matters of a division."

Heitaro Imamura understands the meaning of this decision, which means that the Japanese government decided to play dead and hide to see the results of the Kwantung Army's operations before deciding whether to go to war...or to need peace talks.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a task to the subordinate intelligence agencies to find a way to find out the attitude of the Germans towards the war between the Empire and Soviet Russia.

Among them, the Iwai Mansion in Shanghai naturally also received this task.

Imamura Bingtaro thought of the most suitable person to inquire about this information, his student Miyazaki Kentaro.

……

"Brother Fan, is there a happy event?" Li Hao asked with a smile when he saw the smile on Brother Fan's face in the rearview mirror.

Brother Fan's identity is too important, and Brother Fan shoulders too much responsibility.

Brother Fan is too bitter.

Li Hao knew that Brother Fan's smile from the heart was too rare.

"Yes, there is a happy event." Cheng Qianfan said joyfully.

He didn't say what the happy event was, and Haozi didn't continue to ask.

For Li Hao, as long as Brother Fan is happy, that is his greatest happiness.

Cheng Qianfan pondered over what Imamura Heutaro said to him in his heart, as well as the expression and attitude of Imamura Heutaro when he spoke.

With the defeat of this battle, the Kwantung Army will not stop there, and the war in the north will further expand.

This should be certain.

So, what impact will this war in the north have on the pass?
If the war expands, can Soviet Russia restrain part of the Japanese army?

Cheng Qianfan rubbed his temples.

Such a major strategic matter should not be considered by him.

All he has to do is to promptly inform the Northwest Headquarters and Chongqing of the real information he has.

He believes that with the foresight of teachers and other leaders, they will be able to analyze and judge accurately.

"Haozi, you will go home later." Cheng Qianfan said, "Notify Zhou Ru to send a report to Chongqing."

"The Japanese army attacked the Outer Mongolian army and fought fiercely with the Soviet and Mongolian allied forces. The 20th Regiment of the No. 64 Third Division was wiped out, and the Japanese army declared a great victory."

"A Japanese alliance is dead?" Haozi asked excitedly when he heard this.

"Yeah, the ball is dead." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, this news is really refreshing.

"Do you remember?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

Haozi repeated it to confirm that the words were correct, and Cheng Qianfan nodded in relief.

Haozi's biggest problem is that he doesn't have much literacy, and learning to read and write is really difficult. However, this kid has an accurate memory of numbers and foreign letters, and he is also very good at memorizing things in his mind.

The kid also said that learning to read would cause headaches, so Cheng Qianfan no longer forced Haozi to read.

He thought of the encrypted information handwritten by another subordinate, Haozi, and Haozi, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Among my subordinates, the three brothers Jiang Luzi were born in poverty, and their literacy is not much, and Zhuo Yun is a Taoist priest.

Wu Shunjia and Yang Changnian came from the special training class of Xiongzhenlou, and they have a good level of education.

Of course, Tao Zi satisfied him the most.

Of course, the one with the highest level of education is Zhao Yi...

Cheng Qianfan sighed softly.

……

"Our preliminary plan is to use Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu business to transport the materials out." Zhao Shuli said to He Guan.

"Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading?" He Guan asked.

"Have you heard of it?" Zhao Shuli took a sip of tea, glanced at He Guan, and asked with a smile.
