Ocean fisheries.
Fu Ling stood at the door of the company, looking at the sea in the distance and lost in thought. It had been a month since she left emergency contact information at the bar.
But there was no response from Jinling. Will their hometown treat them as abandoned children and let them fend for themselves in Japan?
Should she risk taking the radio station to the sea and report the situation here to the headquarters? She was a little hesitant for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, she could understand Shangfeng's concerns, just like the spies caught by the Intelligence Department before, none of them were elite, but they didn't speak out in the end.
Faced with torture,
Humans are more fragile than we think.
Before it was determined that they had nothing to do with the destruction of Tokyo Station, the most appropriate way to deal with it was to wait and see what happened, which she would have done otherwise.
Going out behind enemy lines is like putting your head in your waistband and dancing on the tip of a knife at the same time. You don't know which one will come first, death or accident.
Fu Ling silently watched her men at work and vowed that no matter life or death, she must take them home, even if they use the radio illegally.
"Hello, please take care of me when we meet you for the first time."
Suddenly someone next to her said something, and the voice was very familiar. She slowly turned her head in disbelief and saw Zuo Zhong with a smile on his face.
Fu Ling thought that someone might be watching them nearby and wait until it was safe to contact them, but she never expected that it would be the deputy director.
As the number two person in charge of the Secret Service, a colonel officer, a student from the bureau, and a close disciple of the commission, there is no need to come to the front line.
Even if you sit in the office all day long, you can still get promoted and make a fortune. You can be promoted to major general in three years, and you can become a lieutenant general at the end of your retirement.
So Fu Ling's first reaction when she saw Zuo Zhong was that she was dazzled, but the man wearing a fake beard in front of her was clearly the deputy director.
She took a deep breath and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Hello, I am Mihoko from Ocean Fisheries. I wonder what you need, sir."
"My name is Okamoto. I saw your company's recruitment notice at the bar and came here to apply." Zuo Chong replied with a smile, looking Fu Ling up and down.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, the other party has obviously lost a lot of weight, and the original military color on her body has also disappeared, just like an ordinary Japanese woman.
She and other Intelligence Section personnel who went to Japan were meritorious to the country and the nation. Because of their efforts, the canned plan could proceed smoothly.
"Okamoto-kun, please come in."
Fu Ling bent down slightly and raised her right hand to signal Zuo Zhong to go to the office to talk. There were Japanese workers here, so it was not a good place to talk.
The office is manned 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from installing eavesdropping equipment. It is checked every day, so you can communicate safely and boldly there.
Zuo Zhong put his legs together and bowed, and followed Fu Ling in. Seeing this scene, several workers couldn't restrain their excitement, bit their lips and lowered their heads.
lurking,
The most unbearable loneliness,
What's even worse is the endless loneliness.
When they arrived at the Japs' base camp, they didn't know when their mission would be over or when they could return home. All they had was endless suffering and waiting.
Today, I saw the deputy director here in person to meet with them, and knowing that they had not given up on carrying out their tasks in their hometown, everyone's grievances and fears were instantly gone.
"Come on."
A lurking agent shouted loudly, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and his hands became a little stronger, which made the Japanese workers a little confused.
Listening to the commotion outside, Fu Ling closed the door and saluted Zuo Zhong, who was smiling: "Report, warrant officer Fu Ling has met the deputy director."
"Okay, let it go."
Zuo Zhong waved his hand calmly: "This is behind enemy lines, so there is no need to pay attention to official rules, and you are no longer a warrant officer, but a lieutenant.
When the leader heard about your deeds, he was very pleased and praised you as a heroine who fought in the enemy camp. He made an exception and raised your military rank by two levels.
The national government and the Military Commission have registered it. When you return to Jinling, I will confer a title on you immediately. You have suffered in Japan for more than a year. "
"Thanks for the promotion, leader."
Fu Ling raised her chest and saluted again, her eyes slightly red: "In this humble position, I will do my best to repay the kindness of the party and the country. I also want to thank you and the bureau chief for your cultivation."
She knew very well that there were many people who went deep into the enemy camp, and there were also many heroines. Why she was promoted? It must be the deputy director who had done something behind.
From warrant officer to lieutenant, it seems that the step is not big, but when the government is fully implementing the Quanxu military rank, one can imagine the difficulty of cross-level promotion.
Without a deputy director, let alone a lieutenant, it would be great if the officials in Jinling remembered her. At most, they would give her a few yuan in pension after her sacrifice.
"Well, be loyal!"
Zuo Zhong emphasized, looked out the window with his hands behind his back and asked softly: "I remember that you have been with me since the 22nd year of the Republic of China. It has been almost three years now, right?"
"Yes, I listened to your class while I was training at the Hangzhou Police Academy, but I was not familiar with it. Later, I met you again when I was protecting Miss He at a safe place."
Fu Ling couldn't help but recall what happened a few years ago, especially when she thought of cooperating with the deputy director to kill the Japanese spies who came to silence them, she felt filled with pride.
She said emotionally: "If you hadn't commanded me well, Wu Chunyang and I would have been in danger. I will always remember your life-saving grace in my humble position, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"No need to go through fire and water."
Zuo Zhong turned around and said with a hint of meaning: "Brothers must have been waiting anxiously for the incident at Tokyo Station. They must have blamed me.
Don't blame me, I want to believe you, but I can't trust you. Do you understand what I mean? You can't trust anyone in this industry.
There are some things that I can't say directly. I can only tell you that your tasks are of great importance, and the chairman and bureau chiefs are very concerned about related work.
I must ensure that you are reliable enough before joining us. This is to be responsible for the mission. You and I have been through life and death together. I hope you can understand. "
The canned plan is a top secret among top secrets. The jurisdiction has been transferred to the bureau headquarters. Even he is not clear about the specific implementation.
He said this just to remind Fu Ling to save the other party and others from thinking wildly and conflicts between superiors and subordinates, which is fatal behind enemy lines.
"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."
Fu Ling quickly lowered her head and continued to explain: "Brothers just miss their wives and children at home, and I have no complaints about the arrangements made by you and Shangfeng.
I will reassure you as soon as possible so that everyone can devote themselves to their work and continue to look for suitable top students. Please rest assured. "
"that's fine."
Zuo Zhong raised his head slightly, raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Well, I don't have much time, so I won't let you gossip. You can give me a report on the recent situation.
I want to know if Tokyo Station was sabotaged by the Japanese. Didn't you notice it beforehand? It's impossible for such a big operation to go unnoticed.
Also, where are the station chief Zhuang Zili, the intelligence team leader Wang Zhongquan, and the operations team leader Tan Wei? Can you find out their whereabouts?
These three people disappeared after the incident. I was afraid that they would defect to the enemy. The Secret Service has never seen such a level of traitor. "
His expression was serious. All the leaders of a Class-A intelligence station were missing. It was an outrageous thing. If word spread, it would make people laugh out loud.
The Secret Service is not the secret service headquarters, and he is not Xu Enzeng. He always wants to save face. Whoever dares not to give him face will be killed.
"Report, what happened at Tokyo Station was sudden."
Fu Ling heard this and introduced in a low voice: "Because of your order, we kept a distance from them after arriving in Tokyo and had no direct contact.
However, I was worried about being implicated by the other party, so I sent people to keep an eye on the agencies and safe houses at Tokyo Station. These places were normal before the accident.
In other words, the Japanese did not conduct reconnaissance through usual means. The enemy's action goals were very clear and they even had specific intelligence.
As for the traces of Station Master Zhuang and others, I asked my brothers to check after the accident. I checked all possible places to stay and found nothing yet. "
She paused for a moment and said uncertainly: "But our people said that there seems to be something wrong around the other party's safe house.
There is no concrete evidence, just a feeling. I was afraid that it would affect the tasks assigned by you, so I withdrew the operational personnel to prevent accidents. "
"Oh, very good."
Zuo Zhong was shocked and confused. Tokyo Station was not monitored before it was destroyed, but the safe house was targeted after it was destroyed. There was something wrong with this.
If the enemy directly targeted the target, it was possible that they were tracking or monitoring the upper-level personnel. How did the enemy know the address of the safe house?
safe house,
The word safety is the key point.
The safe room of the intelligence station is only used in emergencies. General operators don't know where it is. It seems that they have to clear the door.
Information about Zhuang Zili, Wang Zhongquan, and Tan Wei flashed through Zuo Zhong's mind, and three faces that were serious, smiling, or flattering kept appearing repeatedly.
Needless to say, Zhuang Zili, a certain bald student, a veteran spy, was a guard with a sword in front of the court, so he should not be doubted easily.
Well, Wang Zhongquan, who joined the Secret Service during the Ji Gouxiang period, was from Zhejiang Province and was deeply appreciated by Dai Chunfeng. He was a nail in Lao Dai Bu's footsteps.
This person is smart and capable, and he is kind and loyal. His main job is to restrain Zhuang Zili and prevent Tokyo Station, an important station, from losing control.
Tan Wei is said to have followed Zhao Lijun and had a good relationship with Chen Gongshu. His specialty is horse-patting and Qinggong. He was once a famous snitch in the Pingjin area.
He was one of the first batch of people to join the Kuomintang's intelligence agency. With this, he rose through the ranks and turned from a thief into a mid-level officer.
From the perspective of identity,
Zhuang Zili and Wang Zhongquan are more reliable, because their relatives and friends are within the jurisdiction of the government and are under the strictest surveillance.
When they surrendered to the Japanese, weren't they afraid of harming their wives and children? The Secret Service didn't talk about the rules of the world. What they wanted was to kill as a warning to others.
Change it to motivation,
Zhuang Zili and Wang Zhongquan were not very suspicious. One was a disciple of the emperor, and the other a fellow countryman was a close official of the emperor. They had a promising future, so why should they surrender to the enemy?
And after Tan Wei has eaten up his speculation dividends, he will be an action team leader until the day he dies. He might be sent back to China to sit on the bench one day.
Based on this analysis, the person named Tan was very suspicious. After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Zhong found a worker peeking into the office and felt it was time to leave.
He straightened his clothes, walked to the door, turned around and said: "I will call you if there is any situation, and use the code used by our Intelligence Department.
The Japanese have been acting like crazy dogs recently, asking everyone to be careful when going out to do things. I will investigate the missing three people through other means.
If urgent contact is needed, I will send an old friend to walk on both sides of the main road in Yurakucho 1-chome in Chiyoda District around ten o'clock in the morning. "
Zuo Zhong did not tell Fu Ling his cover identity, and only left a contact information, because the Tokyo Daily News Building is in Yurakucho.
This street gathers a large number of Japanese political and commercial agencies, including many newspapers and movie theaters. The flow of people is very large, and there is no fear of enemy tracking.
"Yes, I understand."
Fu Ling nodded lightly, without any intention of giving away. The Tokyo labor market is a buyer's market, and she should not treat any applicant in particular.
It's polite to allow such time to communicate. Recruitment is often a one-sentence matter, and delaying it for too long can easily arouse others' suspicion.
Zuo Zhong walked out of the office, turned around, bowed deeply, closed the door respectfully, then straightened up and left Dayang Fishery in frustration.
The Japanese workers who were working were somewhat gloating when they saw this. Now that the economic situation is so sluggish, it is always a good thing to have one less person to share the food with.
The latent agent next to them glared at them fiercely and said that when the mission is completed, they will throw all you little devils into the sea to feed the fish.
Zuo Shige didn't know these things. He walked through the streets and alleys around the dock repeatedly, changing clothes many times, and finally changed back to Okamoto Shigenobu's identity.
After successfully catching the train back to the newspaper office, he quickly reviewed the events of the day and felt that it was necessary to chat with Fuichiro Hayashi, who was codenamed Club.
The other party is quite good in Tokyo's sensual circles and knows many big shots. He may be able to find where Zhuang Zili and the others are.
The so-called connections,
I use you and you use me.
It comes with the use of favors.
It is a pity that Bunta Takikawa, the former president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Ningbo and currently the vice president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Zhejiang Province, codenamed Golf, is not in Japan.
Otherwise, the possibility of finding out the information will be greater. Compared with this old cunning guy, the noble Viscount is still a little immature after all.
Zuozhong was thinking about how to give orders to Hayashi Fuichiro. The tram arrived at Yurakucho without even realizing it, so he jumped off and walked into the newspaper compound.
After showing his work ID to the guard, he swaggered to Satoshi Ono's office and reported on his visit to Akiko Yosano.
When the person who heard the Asahi Shimbun also went to the other party's home, Ono Satoshi immediately said that he would put it aside beforehand and turned to another matter.
"Okamoto-kun, please complete the interview invitation for young army officers as soon as possible. I don't want those damn fools to call me every day."
Ono Cong frowned, with disgust mixed with fear: "The atmosphere in the military has been very tense recently, and many low-level officers who have graduated from the Army are working together.
The top management hopes to give them a channel to vent to the outside world to avoid disasters, just like what happened during the May 15th Five-Year Plan a few years ago. Do you understand? "
Is the atmosphere tense in the Japanese military?
Zuo Zhong has been on the front line for more than half a year and cannot check the information anytime and anywhere. He really doesn't know about this matter, but he is quite familiar with May 15th.
To put it bluntly, the Japanese navy's Malu staged a mutiny and attacked the prime minister's official residence, the official residence of ministers, the Metropolitan Police Department, banks and other important institutions.
This group of young officers and soldiers broke into the residence of Takeshi Inukai, the then Prime Minister of Japan, without any scruples. Inukai Takeshi was surprised when he found out.
He then stepped forward to talk to the intruder, but after only saying a few words, the Prime Minister was shot twice and died in the end after resuscitation failed.
Intelligence showed that Inukai Takeshi's last words were Hashimoto Sack, and the young officer replied that questions and answers are useless, no need to elaborate, start quickly.
This shows that the Japanese are not merciless when killing their own people. They did not hesitate to kill their own prime minister, once again performing a subordinate to defeat the superior.
It is worth mentioning that Inukai Takeshi had just won the election in February of that year and had a good relationship with the military, but he favored a significant reduction in armaments.
He was also willing to remain friendly with the National Government and opposed the establishment of Puppet Manchukuo. He eventually became a victim because he harmed the interests of the military and financial groups.
So have the gears of fate turned again? After the navy squatted and the army squatted, the Japanese army and navy took turns to go to the prime minister's official residence to make a fuss.
Can such a good thing really happen?
Then he must help.
Zuo Zhong had given back his historical knowledge to the teacher a long time ago. He only remembered that there was a 226. Could it be that what Ono Satoshi said was the beginning of 226.
Then he had to go take a look no matter what. When it came to teasing and cheering, he refused to accept anyone. Helping others was the foundation of happiness.
After thinking clearly about the key, he lowered his head suddenly: "Hai Yi, I will start preparations tonight and will conduct the interview early tomorrow morning.
I don’t know what specific requirements the Minister and the newspaper have, and whether I need to limit the content of the inquiry. Okamoto will definitely comply. "
There is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. What Ono Satoshi said before clearly showed dissatisfaction with the army officer.
As a subordinate, he should take the initiative to inquire thoughtfully and not embarrass his superiors. Anyway, it would be a trap for the Japanese and force the Red Deers to rebel.
"Cough, cough."
Ono Satoshi coughed twice, glanced outside the door and said mysteriously: "Those people have a very tough attitude towards the chaebol, you have to pay attention.
What they said and did during the interview should be recorded one by one. It is best to make it clear to everyone. This is very important.
Many big shots want to know the political demands and measures of the other party. If you can handle this well, Mr. Okamoto, my position will be yours. "
Pooh,
Capitalist bastard.
Zuo Zhong cursed secretly and leaned into the other party's ear with a flattering smile: "I understand, Your Excellency Minister, I will guide the other party to tell the truth during the interview.
These brainless guys who dare to criticize the empire's heroes must be traitors to the country. Okamoto is willing to do something for you and... "
As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, using this gesture to represent the chaebols and big businessmen. His attitude was unusually respectful, and he looked like a slave.
"Haha, Xixi."
Satoshi Ono smiled, held out his thumb and praised: "Very good, that's what I mean, what can the citizens rely on to support their families.
It’s not just relying on the Taikai Club. Some people are just too greedy and don’t know how to be grateful. If everyone is like Okamoto, how can these things happen? "
Good guy,
The street light manifesto has been spoken.
Zuo Zhong looked at the other person's neck for a suitable place to fasten the rope, then handed over today's flattery and said goodbye to get off work amidst the other person's laughter.
After returning to the drugstore without incident, he sat behind the counter and thought for a long time. He got up and said hello to He Yijun and walked to the hidden area on the second floor.
Hayashi Fuichiro's home has a registered radio station that can receive telegrams in real time. No intelligence personnel dared to search the residence of a Japanese count.
What's more, this earl is also the president of the Manchuria Railway, and is likely to serve as the chairman of the Budget Committee of the House of Lords. It is not an exaggeration to say that his hands and eyes are very good.
Unless Lin Fuichiro commits suicide, no one can touch him. Zuo Zhong looked at the time and sent a text message to a mysterious band.
Now that the Japanese are in turmoil, the risk of direct contact is too great. It is better to use a telegraph, which can ensure his safety and concealment of his identity as much as possible.
"Buzz buzz~"
Soon the other party received a reply. After reading it, he put his phone back into space, went downstairs to eat, closed the shop, washed and rested, and soon fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, just after sleeping for an hour, I heard several gunshots in the distance, followed by piercing sirens approaching quickly.
Zuo Zhong suddenly jumped out of bed, walked barefoot to the window in the dark, and looked quietly at the busy street through the illumination of the street lamp.
Police cars passed by at high speed one after another, and finally several ambulances passed by. It seemed that there was a firefight somewhere, and the Japanese were supporting them.
His face wasn't very pretty. It was Browning's voice just now. The Japanese rarely use this kind of gun in their home country. Could something happen again?
Who could be the shooter?
robber?
A dynamic organization?
spy?
It is also possible that they were the few spies who escaped from Tokyo Station. Their guns were Brownings, which had the advantage of being powerful and easy to replenish bullets.
Being able to buy enough ammo from the black market for just a few bucks is very important, no one wants to carry out a mission with a fire stick.
The problem is that they have no response now, and they don't have enough supplies. They can't run away in the face of a large-scale manhunt, nor can they hide for a long time.
It can be said that the fact that these people have been able to hide until now has exceeded his expectations. The more this happens, the angrier he becomes towards the unknown traitor.
It is a pity that so many elite operators died in vain, otherwise even if they carried out a sneak attack, they would have wiped out a lot of Japanese soldiers.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Security inspection, quickly."
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the pharmacy. Zuo Zhong and He Yijun looked at each other, quickly put their bedding together and went downstairs to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the arrogant police rushed in. Some held guns to control them, while the remaining people searched for places where people could hide.
There were rummaging sounds everywhere in the house, and the other party even didn't spare the cupboard, and he didn't know who could hide in it.
A few minutes later, someone shook his head at the leading police officer, indicating that there was nothing suspicious, and the search team quickly ran to the store next door.
During this period, these people didn't say a word. Looking at their backs, Zuo Zhong pretended to be pale and trembling as he closed the door.
ps: It’s still scheduled to be sent, adjusting for the time difference.
