At nightfall, Seiichi Kita walked out of the Kwantung Army headquarters building. It was now late autumn in Xinjing. In the -1°C atmosphere, a gust of cool wind came. He instinctively shrank his neck towards the thick collar and immediately put his hands on his clothes. Gloves, holding a document marked "Top Secret" in his hand, he slipped into the car, stuffed it into his briefcase, and handcuffed it to his right hand.
"Director, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, the secretary in the passenger seat of the car looked suspicious.
"Don't ask anything! This matter is beyond the scope of our intelligence! Drive to the airport and we will return to Peking overnight!"
"Hi!"
Hearing this, and seeing the solemn expression on Kita Seiichi's face, the secretary knew that something big was going to happen in the near future!
He immediately ordered the driver to drive, and under the protection of eight Kwantung Army soldiers, he sped towards the airport.
【October 6th】
Early in the morning, a joint investigation report and an oil application form were delivered to the desk of Zhou Zhiqian, then head of the General Affairs Section of the Security Bureau of the Peking Police Department.
The real identity of this police agent named Zhou Zhiqian is Zheng Yaoxian, the head of the Peking Station of the National Intelligence Bureau of the National Defense Forces!
As for the Security Bureau, it is an intelligence agency set up by the Japanese invaders' special high school within the police agencies of the puppet regimes in various places. Its main tasks are to investigate, hunt, and interrogate intelligence personnel deployed locally by various countries and military forces, and to report to the Soviet Union. , Mongolia, the United States, Germany and other countries dispatch spies and agents to collect military, political, economic intelligence, etc.
Due to the particularity and importance of its work, most of the actual people in power within the Security Bureau are spy chiefs assigned by the Super High School, and most of its members are Japanese or have Japanese household registration; therefore, their status and power are far superior to those of other traitors and gangsters. As the real power department of the police force, the people gave it the title of "Police Agent".
Therefore, Zheng Yaoxian, whose pseudonym is Zhou Zhiqian, was able to enter the Security Bureau as a Chinese as the powerful section chief. It must be said that it was thanks to Li Yunfeng and Kondo Shinobu!
After all, in this position, the work is not heavy, the oil and water are sufficient, and all the food, drink, and toilet are under his control!
The only fly in the ointment is the inability to access core intelligence, but for Zheng Yaoxian, who was born as the sixth brother of the military, this flaw is not a problem.
After glancing at the joint investigation report and the application for fuel consumption of 70,000 yuan from the Hebei Security Bureau, he knew that the Japanese were going to make another big move in the near future!
Then he raised his hand and opened the drawer, took out a Camel Pai cigarette and quickly walked to the office of the then Director of the Security Bureau, Ichiro Shirono.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Come in! Oh! It's Zhou Sang! Come in and sit down!"
Seeing the general affairs section chief who was rumored to have a strong background and great popularity recently entering, Ichiro Chengo looked pleasantly and called him in with a smile.
"Director Chengo, this is a specialty brought from my hometown. You must enjoy it by yourself!"
After saying that, a whole cigarette was handed over. Chengye took the other person's bulging carton but the texture was far less hard than the cigarettes. He immediately understood and opened the drawer with a smile and put it in. He immediately stood up and poured water for him, mouthing at the same time Plausibly:
"Zhou Sang! This is tea from my hometown Osaka. You can try it. If you want, come and get it anytime!"
Hearing this, an imperceptible smile flashed across Zheng Yaoxian's lips, but his face was still full of sadness: "I appreciate Director Chengye's kindness, but now even if I want to drink tea, I'm afraid I'm powerless!"
"Oh? What's going on?"
Ichiro Shirono frowned. Although the general affairs section chief in front of him was a Han, it was said that he had great hands and eyes and an extraordinary background. When he took up the post of the Security Bureau, he was personally sent by the director of the Special Higher Education Department!
What's even more valuable is that this person never eats alone after taking office. He can take care of all aspects, from the chief and deputy director of the Police Department to the front-line operational team members! In particular, he has a close relationship with me. Souvenirs are delivered to the drawer every week. Now the other party's implication is that he is encountering difficulties. As one of his backstage, I must stand up and support him!
Immediately, Zheng Yaoxian said with a puzzled face that he was short of manpower and unable to cooperate with the Hebei Security Bureau's investigation; there was not enough fuel to provide 70,000 gasoline at a time:
"I don't know what's going on these days. Every day, people from the military come to collect gasoline with notes! I even thought the National Defense Forces were coming!"
After hearing this, Ichiro Jono walked straight to the door, opened the door and looked around to make sure there was no one around, then closed and locked the door, and sat directly next to Zheng Yaoxian:
"Zhou Sang, just say this to me! Don't say this when you are outside! If the military people want fuel, just give it! Believe me, they will pay you double the amount before New Year's Day next year at the latest!"
"No! Do you really want to fight?"
Zheng Yaoxian pretended to be shocked and his eyes widened.
"Shhh! This is confidential. I only learned this morning from my old classmate, General Seiichi Kita's secretary!"
"Ah? It's confidential? I won't cross the line, right? Director, you'd better stop talking!"
Seeing his proud subordinate showing panic and turning around to get up, Chengye nodded with satisfaction and then pulled him down and patted him on the shoulder:
"Although it is true that it is a secret, the Kwantung Army of Manchukuo has already begun to set off. The first batch is even preparing to cross Chahar and secretly enter Hebei! The military asked you for gasoline in order to move the Thirteenth Division Transfer back to Peiping and give your position to the Kwantung Army as the front line!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yaoxian looked slightly stunned.
From the investigation report issued by the Hebei Security Bureau and the secondment of gasoline from the military, he concluded that the Japanese would launch a large-scale military operation against the National Defense Forces, but he did not expect to use the Kwantung Army as the main force in the campaign.
"The end of the Kwantung Army?"
"Yes! I don't know much about the specific situation, but what is certain is that at the earliest early next month, and at the latest by the end of this year! The Kwantung Army will build plank roads openly, secretly build warehouses, and disguise themselves as the Thirteenth Division to defend the country. Army attack!"
Seeing Ichiro Chengo's proud expression, Zheng Yaoxian continued to test:
"With all due respect, Chief Shirono, the defense force is not easy to deal with! Otherwise, Shanxi wouldn't be..."
Hearing this, the other party shook his head and smiled: "Hahaha! Zhou Sang, I know your concerns! Don't worry, although I don't know how many troops the Kwantung Army will send south, but with their strong strength, they can start with at least five divisions and 100,000 people. Bar!"
[I don’t think so! The Kwantung Army has been occupying Manchukuo for many years and has been peeking at China since the July 7th Incident. Now, in North and Central China, they have no chance to participate. The only person left who can arouse their interest is the Soviet Union! Before that, they must ensure the stability of North China before they can show their talents in the Far East! Therefore, our defense force will be the biggest obstacle to their march north! No, I have to report this matter to the Commander-in-Chief quickly! 】
