Beiping, south of the city, teahouse.
"Sixteen types of machinery and equipment, including submerged arc welding machines and centrifugal pumps, have been purchased at a total cost of 4,600 oceans. In terms of materials, steel, sulfur and other materials have been purchased at a total cost of 1,600 oceans. Machinery equipment and The materials are being transported to the Baiyangdian Zhaobeikou Experimental Site." In the conference room, a confidential secretary wearing a Chinese tunic suit, holding a document in both hands, with a straight back and a serious face, reported to Liu Wei, who was sitting in the main seat and smoking a cigarette. .
Liu Wei took out a puff of cigarette and nodded to issue the latest instructions: "Send this purchase list to Shibei Hutong and give it to Comrade Qingluan. The safety of the experimental site must be taken seriously. Any suspicious persons approaching must be reported. How long will the foundation be left?" Can it be built?"
"According to the indicators given by Comrade Qingluan, the foundation construction will be completed in about seven days." the confidential secretary reported.
"What's the recent situation of the Japanese troops between Beijing and Tianjin?" Liu Wei changed to the next topic and asked seriously.
The confidential secretary replied: "On the surface, the Japanese advocate peace, democracy and the development of commerce. Secretly, the Japanese military activities between Beijing and Tianjin are extremely frequent. This month, the number of various military exercises and mobilizations has reached 132 times. Troops of all sizes are conducting exercises. The types of exercises involve infantry attacks, coordinated infantry and artillery attacks, long-distance night raids, motorized offensive battles, and coordinated infantry-tank-artillery operations. According to the latest intelligence, a large amount of military supplies, weapons and ammunition entered the Pingjin-Tianjin area through shipping and rail transportation, and the Kwantung Army A large number of troops were mobilized between Beijing and Tianjin. The troops were dispersed through the formation of regiments and even groups. They entered the Beijing-Tianjin area. The number of new troops has reached 8,000. The specific organization is..."
"Through frequent combat drills to improve combat effectiveness, lower the vigilance of the 29th Army, and secretly mobilize troops to enter Pingjin. This is to build plank roads in the open and covertly cover Chencang. The intention is indeed ruthless. It seems that Little Japan is ready to take action. The 29th Army What's your reaction?" Liu Wei's face became particularly serious, and he smelled something bad. He thought and analyzed in his mind, and then continued to ask.
"Song Zheyuan is suspected of being tired of dealing with the Japanese and believes that the Japanese army will not launch a war. There are rumors that he is preparing to return to his hometown in Leling, Shandong to recuperate and rest. All affairs of the 29th Army will be handled by Qin Dechun, Feng Zhian and others. Zhang Zizhong is the same as before, the same Japanese people often come in and out, and we don’t know where Nanjing is yet. It is reported that a large number of factories in the southeastern coastal areas have stopped working and moved, and they are suspected of moving to Nanjing." The confidential secretary said carefully.
"The disaster laid by the War in the Central Plains made Song Zheyuan full of suspicion and suspicion towards Nanjing. It is not difficult to guess that Nanjing should have informed Song Zheyuan of some information, but Song did not believe it." After hearing this, Liu Wei took a deep drag on the cigarette. Breathing out white smoke, I sighed in my heart.
Although the 29th Army was affiliated to the National Revolutionary Army's combat order, it was a local branch and was not a direct line of Chiang Kai-shek's central army at all. In addition, various conflicts arising from the Central Plains War caused Song Zheyuan to be full of suspicion of Nanjing. Nanjing tried several times to Mobilizing Song Zheyuan to go south to suppress the Communists, he was repeatedly rejected by Song Zheyuan.
Due to various factors, the two sides were at odds and disliked each other.
It is not difficult to imagine that Nanjing, which has the red secret deciphering information, most likely gave Song Zheyuan some information about the Japanese army's preparations to launch a war. However, Song Zheyuan, as the commander of the 29th Army, was indifferent, or in other words, did not trust it at all.
"Chief, what should we do, give Song Zheyuan a warning?" the confidential secretary asked.
"Good words can't dissuade the damned ones. We can't save Song Zheyuan unless the compassionate Buddha saves himself. Besides, the 29th Army is like a sieve and has been basically figured out by the Japanese. There are countless Japanese spies around Song Zheyuan. If he rashly Warning, it may very well expose our possession of red secret deciphering information. This matter must not be exposed until the Japanese have replaced the new encryption system."
Liu Wei gently waved his hand and flicked the cigarette ashes: "This war is unavoidable. What we can do is to minimize losses and enhance our own strength to increase the chance of winning the war. For the North, the most important thing at the moment is This is the Yu Family Seven Pagodas project. Pay attention to protecting the safety of Comrade Yu Hua, Qing Luan and others. This is a race against time."
His words were full of solemnity. He didn't know when the war would break out or when the Japanese would launch an attack. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow.
What he can do is to assist Yu Hua and others to develop Yu's Seven Towers as soon as possible, and use this to establish the sulfuric acid explosives industry in the base area.
"Yes." The confidential secretary nodded.
"I hope we have enough time left." Liu Wei stood up and stared at the map of China and the Pingjin region mounted in the conference room, with a solemn face and whispered to himself.
time.
The most important and critical time.
…
Dongjiaomin Lane, Japanese Embassy.
"Your Excellency, this is a summary of recent intelligence. Song Zheyuan is about to leave Peiping and go to his hometown in Leling, Shan Province to recuperate. His condition is very serious. Peiping City is actually managed by Qin Dechun and Feng Zhian, and Tianjin Guard is managed by Zhang Zizhong. In addition, Zhang Zizhong is not responsible for going to Leling. The local inspection was not agreed to." In a room, Liao Yaquan, wearing a military uniform, stood at his desk, putting down the latest compiled recent intelligence, with a solemn look on his face, and concisely stated the important information.
In front of the desk, sat the top person in charge of the intelligence agencies in China, Tufei Yuan.
Everyone knows that after Doihara was promoted to lieutenant general, he was transferred to the commander of the 1st local left-behind division. However, he stayed in Peiping and never left.
"Oh, why?" Madoka Doi put down the military intelligence document he was correcting, opened the folder, and asked while reading.
Inviting Zhang Zizhong to the mainland for inspection was part of the Greater East Asia War Plan. As the commander of the 38th Division, if Zhang Zizhong had not stayed at Tianjin Guard to command the troops when the war broke out, there is no doubt that the entire offensive plan would have encountered much less resistance. .
In order to achieve this goal, the local side has spent a lot of money to open up the authority of important military industrial facilities such as Osaka Arsenal, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Ishikawajima Harima.
Osaka Arsenal, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Ishikawa Harima Heavy Industries, which are the core of Japan's military industry, are full of ultimate temptation for any Chinese soldier.
However, under such temptation, Zhang Zizhong did not agree.
strangeness.
Very strange.
"He said he was in a bad mood. Recently, Zhang Zizhong often went in and out of the eight alleys in Tianjin to have a tea party." Liao Yaquan shook his head.
The corner of Tu Feiyuan's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
Bad mood?
What kind of reason is this?
Of course, what Tu Feiyuan didn't know was that historically, Zhang Zizhong agreed to go to the mainland for an inspection after being invited by the Japanese army around late April and early May of 1937. The inspection lasted for more than a month.
"Since he likes beauty, then satisfy him, increase the stakes, and try to get Zhang Zizhong to leave Tianjin Wei." Doi Yuan took a deep breath and gave the instructions.
"Yes." Liao Yaquan nodded.
"Has the investigation into Yuan Wenhui's matter been clear?" Tu Fei looked at the document with round eyes and continued to ask.
Liao Yaquan shook his head: "There is no progress, but all clues point to the Blue Clothes Club and the 29th Army. They are the only organizations that can have a large number of personnel and Czech machine guns in Tianjin Guard."
"I understand. Have you found out the true identity of Zhang San, the author of "Chinese Mechanical Drawing"?" Tu Feiyuan raised his head, thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered what he had arranged before, and asked.
"There is no progress. We have used a lot of intelligence resources and have not been able to find the author Zhang San. The Qingbei Journal and Science Magazine protect Zhang San's personal information very strictly. Even the email information has not been leaked, so there is no way to start." Liao Yaquan shook his head and said.
If there are still some clues about Yuan Wenhui, then there is absolutely no clue about the true identity of the author Zhang San.
They don’t know anything, they don’t know the other person’s age, gender, facial features, address, family background and identity information.
How do you find someone in this situation?
"Yuan Wenhui's matter has come to an end for the time being. If you die, you will die. There are other dogs that can be used. This Zhang San must be found and eliminated." Tu Fei's round eyes were cold, revealing a touch of cruelty, and he ordered in a cold voice .
"yes!"
Liao Yaquan nodded.
…
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are already vendors pushing popsicles and selling them in the streets and alleys of Peiping. Three days have passed. Yesterday, Youth Day, there were many young students on the streets, but there was no student parade that worried the authorities.
After Youth Day, the results of the Peking Joint Entrance Examination finally came out and were distributed to all schools by the education department.
