November 20, 1941, Monday, Ji Ren Library.
The domestic situation in Japan is changing. Japan hopes to use diplomatic strategies to get the United States to give up supporting China. In order to cooperate with the "Southern Advance" strategy, it attempts to cut off an important back-up for China through negotiations and force China to surrender as soon as possible. On the other hand, it will buy time for the war. .
The negotiations reached a deadlock. Prime Minister Yosuke Konoe stepped down on the 16th of last month, and Prime Minister Hideo Tojo came to power. His coming to power meant that Japan would use force to resolve East Asian issues.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was led by him. It is not a secret that Japan is preparing to invade Southeast Asia, but when the war will begin is indeed top secret.
Li Jie told Bian Rinan that Japan planned to invade the south in the near future. This news was like a bolt from the blue. Bian Rinan couldn't believe that such top-secret information would be known to Li Jie and couldn't help but ask.
"Wasp, how did you find out?"
Li Jie smiled: "According to the analysis, there is no dispute that the Japanese are preparing to use force. It is only a matter of time.
The day before yesterday, Yosuke Konoe resigned due to the deadlock in the Japan-US negotiations. His resignation was proposed by Tojo Tojo, the immediate war faction. The United States decided to completely terminate oil exports to Japan. Japan's domestic oil reserves are only enough for the military. If Japan does nothing in a year, the tanks, aircraft, warships and other war weapons they produce will become a pile of scrap metal. "
Bian Rinan said: "That doesn't mean that Japan is planning to take action in the near future."
Li Jie smiled slightly: "The key person is Tojo Hideo. Although Konoe Yosuke and him are both militants, Konoe Yosuke is opposed to starting a war immediately. Konoe believes that the time is not yet ripe, but Tojo Hideo is different. , he is a firm believer in starting war immediately, in as little as 1-2 months, and in no longer than half a year, Japan will definitely go to full-scale war with the United States."
Bian Rinan nodded when he heard this: "This matter is of great importance. I need you to write a detailed written analysis."
Before Bian Rinan finished speaking, Li Jie handed over the report that he had already written. Bian Rinan's words stopped abruptly. After taking the report, he quickly read through it. Li Jie's report was analyzed in more detail, starting from Tojo. After reading Ying Ge's resume, Japan's domestic strategic reserves, analysis of the main figures of various factions, and the current international situation, Bian Ilnam was silent for a long time.
"Comrade Wasp, having you lurking behind enemy lines is really a loss for the country. Based solely on your keen judgment on the international situation, the Strategy Department is the place that really suits you."
Li Jie smiled and did not answer. He deduced the process based on the results. This was nothing special. If it was an ancient war based on the experience of the Ming Dynasty, he would have no problem. But modern wars and ancient wars are completely different things. They will be left to future generations. According to historical data, no one can beat him in terms of strategy, but in terms of tactics, he is a bit blind.
"I just have more channels to obtain it. I also hope that Mr. Bian will hand over this report as soon as possible. By the way, it is best to also send a copy to the Blue Party."
Bian Rinan said: "Don't worry, I will send it to the sailor tonight. Is your wound healed last time? It is better not to do this kind of thing again in the future. It is really too dangerous. If you are not careful, your life could be It’s gone.”
Li Jie chuckled: "Basically, there is no big problem. I just can't exercise strenuously yet. In fact, there is not much danger in this assassination. My heart was born on the right side unlike ordinary people. The real risk is not big. As long as you pay attention Post-operative infection is enough, and the Japanese will definitely try their best to rescue her as I am."
In fact, since he knew that the heart of this body was born on the right side, Li Jie had this plan. The person responsible for assassinating him this time was Zhuang Xiaoman. In July, in order to obtain the Japanese army's defensive contraction strategy map, Li Jie, during the operation A flaw was revealed, although the probability of the Japanese finding him through this clue was not high, and the military anti-corruption team repeatedly assassinated new government officials.
As Li Jie's reputation grows in Shentan, if he is not assassinated, it will arouse suspicion. Although there have been several false assassination attempts planned before, this is not enough to dispel the suspicion. This time Li Jie directed and acted Li Jie's assassination operation seemed to have a narrow escape, but in fact there was no risk. In addition to his unusual heart, Li Jie also had the cheating device of internal strength. The risk of postoperative infection was almost zero, so the assassination would leave only a scar at most.
On December 7, Japan brazenly launched the Pacific War. When the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor came out, the whole world was in an uproar. When the news reached the country through radio waves, the Yamashiro government was ecstatic.
Since Li Jie's report was forwarded to Shancheng, Shancheng has been paying close attention to the Japanese radio station. Chi Buzhou, a cryptography expert, intercepted and deciphered Japan's super secret message on the 3rd. When the news reached the United States, it did not cause any concern. Pay attention to.
Because in the eyes of the United States, Japan is trapped in an unspoken battlefield, and the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union have been in a state of confrontation in the Far East. In addition, due to the extreme lack of oil and rubber resources, Japan has also been at war with England in Southeast Asia. Who would have thought that Japan would Not even a lunatic would dare to go to war with the United States at this time, but Japan just did it.
When Bian Rinan saw the news in the newspaper, he was shocked and speechless for a long time. What happened now was exactly the same as Li Jie's inference. This also made him regret that international strategic experts like Li Jie should not engage in espionage work. It was completely inappropriate. A waste of talent.
It is a pity that as Li Jie gets closer and closer to the core of the Japanese, it is completely impossible for Li Jie to retreat to the rear at this time. Not only the military commander will not agree, but the organization will not agree either. An outstanding person like Li Jie There are not many people, but they are not none. However, except for Li Jie, there is no one else who can really break into Japan.
At Kelly's Bar, Zhuang Xiaoman looked at Li Jie from head to toe, looking like a monster. Li Jie was a little uncomfortable being stared at and said.
"What's wrong? Don't you see enough every day?"
Zhuang Xiaoman spat: "Bah, who wants to look at you!"
"By the way, was it you who wrote the previous report?"
Li Jie was a little surprised as to how Zhuang Xiaoman knew about this matter. It was impossible for her to see the contents of the report at her level.
"Where did you see that report?"
Zhuang Xiaoman smiled sweetly and said: "How can I have the honor to see the article written by Xiao Dacai? The little girl just heard about it. A very strange order came from the mountain, asking us to check out an article named 'Wasp'." ' man because he wrote a report."
Li Jie frowned. He didn't sign his name in the first place. How did this news get out? It was probably leaked by spies hidden within the Red Party. Although there were not many people who had access to this report, there were also quite a few. , there are too many channels for leaking secrets, and it is impossible to investigate.
