Downstream of Songhua River, a riverside 40 kilometers away. downtime
At this time, there was only a thin layer of ice on the river surface, which shattered with a slight touch, and a truck drove over on the gravel road.
The brakes were applied and the truck stopped.
Two people got out of the car. One was wearing a plaid coat and a duck cap, and the other was in a black leather coat.
The two of them dragged a box from the trunk. It was made of wood and painted red, and it looked quite heavy.
"Master, it's ready."
The man in a black trench coat pointed toward the river: "Hurry up."
"Okay."
The two carried the box to the riverside, gently blocked it on the ice, then took the pole and gently pushed it toward the center of the river.
The wooden box slowly floated toward the center of the river. After walking about seven or eight meters, Bo Bing couldn't bear the weight.
I heard a crisp "click" sound, like falling into water all of a sudden.
The two people who cleared the traces got in the car, smoked a cigarette, and then drove the truck away.
…
"Welcome, please come inside!"
"Congratulations, Officer Zhou, your boss Bai's business is getting bigger and bigger!" Today is a good day for the establishment of "Lan" Ji Clothing. downtime
"General, normal, please come in, Boss Guo!"
"Brother Zhou, you got the "Tong" mark for being so silent. It's awesome, it's awesome..." Su Wenqing came in with a complimenting smile on his face.
"What a coincidence." Zhou Sen chuckled. The "Tong" reporter was also forced to accept Bai Yulan's conditions for buying shares, and at the same time gave up his position as the major shareholder.
This also made Nakamura's conspiracy, which had been planning the "same" record, come to nothing. Zhou Sen's background was no worse than his, and even had a three-pointer.
"This is Manager Zheng, the general manager of our "Lan" Ji Clothing. Zhou Sen personally introduced Zheng Nan to all the bosses who came to attend the opening.
In fact, more than a month has passed since the Juntong case. Kawai Sadaiki has been pursuing it for so long, but no other clues have been found. Chen Zhihong and Tang Xiaoru can't squeeze anything out, and the case has been dropped.
Chen Zhihong and Tang Xiaoru were imprisoned, one was sentenced to ten years and the other was sentenced to five years. downtime
Their children were given to a bunch of Japanese couples for adoption.
Not long after the child arrived at his adoptive parents' home, he was sent to Japan. Originally, Zhou Sen had planned to find a way to wait for a year or two before picking up the child.
No one expected that the childless Japanese couple would actually send him back to Japan. Although he left the identity information of the Japanese couple, it would probably be a long time before he could bring the child back.
Zhou Sen's willingness to take over "Tong" Ji and even return to the clothing industry is not actually for the immediate benefit.
He was preparing for the war ten years later.
No one knew this secret, only he knew in his heart that he wanted to build a logistics support system for that war.
If the logistics of that war can be guaranteed, the outcome of the war may not change much, but casualties can definitely be minimized, especially non-combat attrition. downtime
…
After the office space on Youyi Road was renovated, Ono Dakuan naturally had no reason not to let people go.
However, he still had to use some tricks. He sent a few unimportant people over first, and squeezed them out bit by bit, just like squeezing out toothpaste.
Zhou Sen was not in a hurry, thinking, what you are doing is exactly what I want. Anyway, I don't want to make any achievements right away, although he can do it too.
As long as Pishkov cooperates, it won't be a problem to get any information he wants.
Zhou Sen goes to and from work every day like this. Sometimes he doesn't go at all, or he finds a coffee shop, orders a cup of coffee, and drinks it for half the day.
In the middle of winter, there is nothing going on. There are fewer people on the streets. Prices of various supplies are soaring. The market is sluggish. Everyone is saving money.
Who is still willing to go out and spend money? downtime
Soon, the end of 1940 came to an end.
It's the Chinese New Year, and it's a happy event for the family to have a new baby, but life is not so easy, but for people like Zhou Sen, it's still a little better than ordinary citizens. As for the top dignitaries, it's not affected at all.
At that time, the Japanese were stuck in a quagmire on the battlefield in Guannei. They couldn't wait to get out of this quagmire and made many small moves.
The trajectory of history has not changed, and the wheels continue to move in the established direction.
As soon as the Spring Festival was over, Zhou Sen received an order from Sato to increase the collection of intelligence on the Soviet Far East Army.
He understood that there was still a fierce debate within the Japanese army over whether to "go south" or "go north" and had not yet made up its mind.
But as far as the Kwantung Army is concerned, the "northward advance" is naturally what they want to see, because the "northward advance" must be dominated by the Kwantung Army, and the army will serve as a support, while the southward move will favor the navy. downtime
The Army has not received funding support in recent years. If it advances northward, domestic resources will be tilted towards the Army. The Army will naturally usher in a wave of major development, and especially the Kwantung Army will be the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, many militants within the Kwantung Army are actively advocating a "northward march" and even secretly conduct entry inspections at the border.
Especially after the Spring Festival, there are more and more small actions. Zhou Sen's special intelligence room receives a large amount of intelligence every day, allowing the intelligence room to analyze and judge.
As a result, Zhou Sen's work increased, and the special intelligence room began to expand again, with the number of people increasing from dozens to hundreds.
At the same time, the "Lilac Publishing House" sign was officially put up, and the intelligence agency using the publishing house as a cover appeared on the Friendship Road openly.
It’s just that ordinary people don’t know it, and they only think it is a publishing house with Japanese identity and background.
Time is quickly entering April. downtime
Arman took the initiative to make an appointment with Zhou Sen in Liang Yiming's old house on Beisandao Street. This place is still very safe so far.
He and Arman basically meet secretly here, but they don't meet often, basically only once a month or two.
"Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka is in Moscow now. Negotiations are making great progress and an agreement should be reached."
"Even if we sign an agreement, do you believe it?"
Arman shook his head: "Of course I don't believe it. Japan is a very dishonest country. Even if it signs a neutrality agreement, it still has to be wary of surprise attacks. They have this tradition."
"But doing so will definitely have a certain impact on the overall situation of China's Anti-Japanese War." Zhou Sen said that the easing of relations between Soviet Russia and Japan in the Far East will definitely make it easier for Japan, which can mobilize more troops from outside the Pass to fight within the Pass.
Of course, this is not entirely true. If Japan fully implements its "southern" plan, it will also need to transfer ground forces from the Kwantung Army. downtime
"We are now in an extremely dangerous situation. We can only concentrate on dealing with Europe first. It is a taboo for military strategists to fight on two fronts." Arman said that he has read many books on China for many years. , especially in the art of war.
"Okay, just for this matter, why don't you make an appointment with me?" Zhou Sen said. It is not easy to coordinate such a meeting.
Arman took out a photo from his inner pocket and handed it over.
Zhou Sen reached out his hand and took it suspiciously.
When he saw the two babies in the photo, he was stunned. One had blond hair and the other had black hair. Judging from the clothes, they were a boy and a girl. The boy had blond hair and the girl had black hair.
In this face profile, the boy has a European and American nose with a high nose, but his hair is black with a hint of curly hair, while the girl has an oriental face and black hair...
Zhou Sen's heart beat faster. downtime
"This is?"
Arman chuckled and nodded.
"She said that it is your right and responsibility as a father to give you a name." Al
Mann said.
"Is she back?"
"No, she is still in Moscow. It is safer for her to stay there and she can better work for our great cause." Arman said.
Zhou Sen took out his notebook, thought about it, and wrote two names on it with a pen: Zhou Bin and Zhou Na. Then note male and female respectively at the back.
"Which one is bigger?"
"Boy," Arman said.
"Is she okay? Are there any difficulties in life?" Zhou Sen stuffed the photo into the inner layer of his wallet and hid it close to his body.
"Don't worry, she's fine." Arman said.
"Thank you, Arman." Zhou Sen said solemnly.
"Even if the agreement is signed, the Japanese may still have lunatics who will cause trouble at the border. We need you."
"I know, don't worry." Zhou Sen nodded.
Soon, Zhou Sen received internal news that Japan and Soviet Russia signed a neutrality treaty, which was valid for five years. downtime
Of course, this agreement has not yet been approved by the Emperor of Japan, so it does not count yet, but Zhou Sen knows it.
Japan will ratify this treaty. Japan's domestic economic situation is already very bad. The United States and the West have imposed trade restrictions on various strategic materials it needs. If they want to continue to expand, they must get the steel they want. , oil, rubber and other strategic materials. Even if these materials and minerals are available in Siberia, they will be buried underground and want to be dug and mined. Even if Japan occupies Siberia, I am afraid there will be no time to mine them out.
Especially oil.
Without oil, warships and cars cannot run. This modern military equipment is almost like scrap metal.
Japan's choice to "go south" is based on its own needs, and it is not inevitable for them to choose one or the other.
As long as those war madmen in the base camp have a little bit of brains, they will know which direction the war should go if it continues.
Although this is crazy, why not bet once, and if the bet is right, then it will not be the national destiny for two hundred years, but the national destiny for a thousand years. downtime
The Germans suffered successive defeats in the air battle over Great Britain, as if the strait was a chasm that Germany's powerful army could not cross.
The mustachioed Führer is not a person who likes to hang himself from a tree and will inevitably adjust the direction of the war.
Once this war machine is started, it doesn't mean you can stop it if you want. Therefore, there are already signs of when a war will break out between Germany and the Soviet Union.
However, the specific time when this battle broke out is not yet known. At least, the initiative is not in the hands of the Soviet side yet.
In fact, Zhou Sen knew that the Japanese already knew the approximate time of Germany's war against the Soviet Union, but the matter was top secret, and even the famous "Ramza" was not able to obtain exact information at this time.
Zhou Sen knew it, but he did not have the exact source of the information, so he could not pass this information to the Soviet side.
After all, he couldn't explain the source of the intelligence, and he was just talking nonsense. Who would believe him? downtime
However, even if he didn't have his own early warning, someone else would provide intelligence to the Soviet side, so he wouldn't have to worry about it.
On June 22, Germany launched the "Barbarossa" plan, and the German-Soviet War broke out. At the beginning of the war, the Soviet army was completely unprepared and was defeated by the German army. It suffered heavy losses.
When the Kwantung Army headquarters saw this situation, some officers who supported the "northern advance" began to clamor, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they could march out of Siberia, they might be able to join forces with the German army in Moscow, so that Japan and Germany would By dividing the Soviet Union and Russia, Japan not only gained huge strategic depth, but also eliminated its old rivals and ensured the security of the north.
So an acting plan was released to strengthen the combat readiness of the Kwantung Army. This was the "Kwantung Army Acting".
The purpose of the Japanese army was very simple, which was to use acting to paralyze the Soviet army, and then, when the time allowed, quickly turn the acting into actual combat.
This plan was recognized by the Japanese military base camp and approved for implementation by Japanese Prime Minister Tojo.
week
Mori Neng didn't know much about the specific content of the relevant plans, and the Japanese kept this aspect absolutely confidential from him. downtime
But he could also deduce something from the orders issued by the Japanese Kwantung Army Intelligence Department to the Special Intelligence Room.
By the time the traitors from the Soviet Union arrived in the intelligence room, they were all as excited as if they had been given blood.
If Japan and the Soviet Union start a war, they will have a place to use.
Unfortunately, the situation that Japan expected for the Soviet Union to mobilize troops from the Far East to support the European battlefield did not happen.
Facing the Far East Army Group with its powerful troops, the "Guan Special Exercise" plan was picked up high and fell lightly.
Of course, there were several misfires, but none of them led to massacres.
In Zhou Sen's opinion, there is no suspense, but the process is actually quite thrilling. After all, history has many "accidental" changes. downtime
As Japan canceled its plan to "solve the northern problem", Zhou Sen's special intelligence room suddenly became quiet.
Apart from regular intelligence gathering work, there is nothing else.
His importance has naturally declined much.
Zhou Sen also knew that once Japan no longer planned to use troops against Su, his "chess piece" would become less important. So what would the Japanese do, replace themselves and kill the donkey?
Or should we continue to keep him in this position?
However, just when Zhou Sen sensed that he might become very dangerous, Kageyama Jiro was transferred.
He was replaced by a retired Japanese lieutenant colonel named Fukuhara. This guy was chubby and always had smiling eyes. He looked like a wealthy landlord from the countryside, cunning and cunning. downtime
Matsuda Kikuo was also transferred, and Akiyama Nosuke acted as the deputy director of the Hyoucheng Police Department and the chief of the Secret Service Section.
Lin Dakuan finally climbed up half a step and became the deputy section chief of the Secret Service Section, presiding over the work of the Secret Service Section.
However, the position of section chief of the Special Agent Section of the National Police Agency has always been reserved for the Japanese. Unless Lin Dakuan is transferred to another place, he can only serve as deputy section chief.
As for Zhou Sen, he had no experience as a top leader in the National Police Agency, so he worked with Saburo Shibuya and got out of the Police Agency.
He went to Zhengyang Department and became the acting director.
At this point, Zhou Sen went from acting director to director, then to deputy director of the Bingcheng Police Department before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Finally, after the Soviet army took over Bingcheng, he served in the Sino-Soviet Friendship Association. The conductor introduced him and joined the Chinese Communist Party.
This book is finished. downtime
