Why does Ma Xiaoguang have to drive to Shanghai differently than before?
First, the time difference between driving and taking a train is actually almost the same. In the past, taking the train was to save effort. In addition, there were not enough vehicles.
Now that the war has begun, others don't know it, but Ma Xiaoguang knows very well that the car is of no use in Jinling. It is better to go to Shanghai to play its role.
In the end, it was kept secret.
Jing'an Temple Railway Station, like Shiliupu Pier, has long been a place where agents from various places check in for work. When I show up, there is no guarantee that anyone will recognize me.
I met Han Zhesheng on the train last time, maybe I will meet someone this time...
Another thing is that Ma Xiaoguang has to personally survey the route - the future retreat route.
Not for myself, but for the extremely tragic battle more than a month later.
The two of them took turns with each other without stopping, and finally arrived at the Shanghai market at night.
That night, the two of them did not go into the city, but spent the night in the Tianma Yangxing warehouse.
After tidying up, the two of them did not go to the office in Zilin Building. Instead, they both put on vague clothes and went to Hongkou.
After stopping the car, the fat man asked worriedly: "Boss, is it unsafe to see quails at this time?"
"It's okay. Quail is a delicate person and is more careful than us. He asked to meet here, so there is no need to worry...and the most dangerous place is actually the safest."
The two of them whispered while watching the movements on the street warily.
The street is very different from when I arrived a few months ago. The majority of the residents here are neon immigrants. Many immigrants have spontaneously organized "volunteer teams", and some have distributed weapons...
"Damn, these guys are all mobilizing!" the fat man complained.
"You know how powerful it is, the mouse pulls the shovel - the big head is at the back. It's different now. We have to be careful in everything." Ma Xiaoguang pretended to light a cigarette and whispered to the fat man.
The two of them carefully arrived at an advertisement board at the intersection of North Sichuan Road and casually looked at the advertisements inside.
Not long after, a man wearing a light summer gray dress walked past quietly, only staying at the edge of the advertising column for a moment without making any unnecessary movements.
This man looked arrogant and arrogant.
Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty ignored him and just passed them by without even exchanging glances.
After the man left, Ma Xiaoguang carefully observed the surrounding situation and whispered in the fat man's ear: "Okay, I have already observed it. There is no tail. Don't look around. Pick up the cigarette butts under your feet..."
The fat man squatted down, pretending to tie his shoelaces, and quietly hid the cigarette butts thrown by the man in his shoes.
Then, the two left North Sichuan Road and returned to the car as if nothing had happened.
Without any hesitation, the fat man quickly took out the cigarette butts from inside the shoes. After taking them apart, there were dense dot-like cryptic codes on them...
Thirty minutes later, Ma Xiaoguang, holding a magnifying glass, deciphered and transcribed the coded information as the co-pilot, sealed it and put it next to him.
"In the near future, the navy will immediately implement a naval blockade and attack the Chinese fleet. The detailed plan includes the first and second naval aviation groups to conduct air strikes on Hangzhou, and the first joint air force will conduct air strikes on Hongdu and Jinling..."
Looking at the information transcribed by Ma Xiaoguang, the fat man screamed: "My dear, the devil is trying to swallow the elephant like a snake!"
"You see, Quail has made great achievements all of a sudden. Damn, I don't deserve my monthly salary for him!" Ma Xiaoguang cursed secretly.
Koichiro Ozawa and Ma Xiaoguang, codenamed "Quail", deliberately had no contact with him for more than a year, just to play a role at critical moments.
This time, in the middle of last month, Ma Xiaoguang notified Ozawa in advance through a dedicated channel and asked him to collect, analyze, and summarize naval intelligence.
It has to be said that advance arrangements are useful, and this move is breaking news.
As the two of them talked, the fat man started the car and took the time to drive towards the Zilin Building.
Ma Xiaoguang was packing tools in the co-pilot, destroying the originals, and taking out two other sets of glamorous dresses from the luggage.
"Find a secluded place later and change your clothes in the car. The situation has changed, so you have to be more careful!" Ma Xiaoguang said to the fat man.
After changing their clothes, the two set off again and headed to Zilin Building.
Leaving Hongkou, Fatty deliberately made a big circle.
After crossing the Suzhou River, the scene was very different from Hongkou. Many young students, workers and employees took to the streets, posting slogans, and some even gathered together to chant slogans. There was public anger everywhere...
The traffic on the street was more congested than usual. Fatty was not in a hurry and turned on the radio in the car, which was broadcasting various news and communiqués.
"Compatriots all over China, Beijing and Tianjin are in danger! North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger! Only the whole nation's resistance war is our way out!"
What came from the radio was the Red Party’s message to compatriots across the country.
"Look, this is what we call anti-Japanese! Those gentlemen in our government are so secretive, so stupid, and even slap the devil!"
The fat man complained while listening.
Ma Xiaoguang comforted the fat man and said, "Okay, that's enough. We have to ask MISS Liu to send the telegram quickly."
It's not that Ma Xiaoguang doesn't have passion, but he knows that as an agent, he needs to calm down more now. What he needs most now is intelligence. This is the responsibility and mission of an agent.
After a detour and traffic jam, the two of them arrived at the Zilin Building fifty minutes later.
Everyone in the foreign company looked very solemn, including several foreign friends.
There are some things that everyone is self-explanatory about, and everyone is immersed in doing their own things.
Instead of chatting with Natasha and Kevin as usual, Ma Xiaoguang directly knocked on the door and entered MISS Liu's office.
MISS Liu Kuanda's deputy general manager's office has been divided into two parts by a huge bookcase. The outside is the daily office, and the inside is the telecommunications room.
Pressing the bell, the small door in the middle of the bookcase opened.
Like Ma Xiaoguang, MISS Liu also had a solemn look on his face today. As soon as they met, they both said the same thing: "There is big news!"
Unlike normal days when everyone had to make a few jokes to tease Ma Xiaoguang, MISS Liu just pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "You say it first..."
"The Neon Devil Navy, Naval Aviation, and Army Aviation will all make big moves. The detailed plan is here... and send it to Jinling with a Class A secret message immediately!"
Ma Xiaoguang took out the sealed information from his shirt pocket.
Upon hearing the news, MISS Liu's eyes flashed, but he soon regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Qiao Yitian, deputy chief of the Shanghai Municipal Confidential Section, and Wu Min, the captain of the first action team, have defected. According to insider information, they have already I have taken refuge in the Neon Nation’s intelligence agency and requested the enforcement of family law!”
When Ma Xiaoguang heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. The war had just begun. It was not a confrontation with the Japanese invaders, but the enforcement of family laws.
However, this is a military order and must be obeyed!
