Chapter 739 New Information
Pan Hannian said seriously: "Of course, Bai Ge is also our comrade. How could we sacrifice others to save our comrades?"
"That's good." Hu Yunqing seemed relieved.
Pan Hannian took a sip of tea and said, "Comrade Yunqing, what do you think of Comrade Qilin's recent performance?"
"I mean have you ever thought about getting her back into intelligence work?"
Hu Yunqing shook his head and said, "Comrade Hannian, Comrade Qilin's current identity is no longer suitable for intelligence work."
"She is involved in too many things, and she is easy to be targeted."
"I think her current identity as a businessman is very suitable for her."
"Besides, no matter what job Qilin does, as long as he is one of us and can contribute to the organization, it doesn't matter what position he is in."
Pan Hannian sighed and said, "To be honest, it's a bit of a waste for her to leave the intelligence front."
"However, Comrade Yun Qing, you are the head of the Southern District Intelligence Group, and I trust your judgment."
"It's getting late. I'm going to go back first. I'll find a way to raise the money as soon as possible. I'll raise it within three days, no, two days."
Hu Yunqing stood up and said, "Comrade Hannian, it all depends on you."
Shanghai, Consulate.
After the New Year, the local General Staff Headquarters issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Information Warfare".
The heads of all intelligence agencies in China received notification from headquarters and rushed to Shanghai to attend the meeting.
There are more people attending the meeting in the consulate's high-level conference room today.
They include the chief of the Shanghai Plum Agency, Haruki Keitsugu, the Special High Police's Genichirō Otani, the chief of the Hankou Takenori Agency, Shibayama Kaneshiro, the chief of the North China Lan Agency, Wachi Takaji, and the chief of the Fujian Chrysanthemum Agency, Sakanishi Hachiro.
Aoki Yusuke, director of the Shanghai Manchurian Railway Investigation Bureau, Takada Hirokazu of the Northeast Kwantung Army Information Command Section, Takeda Nobuo of the Shanghai Special Agent Section, and Nakanishi Isao of the Chinese Affairs Investigation Team.
Among this group of people, Chen Yang, the Minister of the Joint Transport Department, seemed out of place.
Number 76 is not eligible to attend this meeting.
However, Chen Yang did not represent No. 76, but the Special Affairs Committee of the new Jinling government.
If it were in the past, when the major intelligence agencies held meetings and people like Chen Yang also sat in the meeting seats, these experts who were good at intelligence work might have considered this a shame.
Everyone knew that the Minister of the Joint Transport Department was a complete layman when it came to intelligence work.
But today, no one dares to say that.
Operation Barbarossa, the Germans prepared to attack the Soviet Union.
This kind of information is definitely the most advanced one in everyone's mind.
However, they were unable to obtain the information, and it was Minister Chen of the Joint Transport Department who got the information.
After receiving this information, Commander Ishihara, who was originally in Tokyo enjoying the snow, immediately set off back to Northeast China.
After all, in his opinion, if this war really broke out, the Empire would probably find another opportunity in the Far East.
The meeting was chaired by Mitsuhiro Abe of the Expeditionary Force's General Staff. In Chen Yang's opinion, these people kept talking about the same old things.
It is nothing more than grasping the various situations on the Chinese battlefield and providing detailed data to the imperial war command department.
The next step is to confront China's local intelligence agencies and make sure to catch these anti-Japanese elements.
Of course, the only difference from the past is that this time, Mitsuhiro Abe specifically mentioned the need to extend the intelligence network to Southeast Asia.
The intelligence department cannot just focus on China. In the future, the empire will send more troops to sweep away the many forces in Southeast Asia.
At the same time, in the northeast of China, in a high-rise building.
It was freezing cold outside, but it was extremely warm inside.
Two figures were kneeling beside the table. The sake on the table was roasted by the charcoal fire, constantly emitting a floral aroma.
"Ishihara-kun, you rarely seem willing to buy me a drink."
The person who spoke was an old man with wrinkles all over his face, but his eyes were sparkling. In comparison, Commander Ishihara's image was not as attractive as his.
Commander Ishihara was a bald man with a downturned mouth and relatively small eyes. At first glance, he looked like he had no energy and seemed to be sleeping all day.
But this look gives people a feeling that they can easily control everything.
It's very strange, isn't it? On the one hand, it feels like I'm lacking energy, and on the other hand, it feels like I'm sure of victory. It's contradictory, but also very natural.
"Sakahisa-kun, don't make me sound so stingy. I treated you to a drink..."
"This wine was specially given to me by Minister Chen from Shanghai. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have given it to me."
That’s right, the two people in front of us are legendary figures among the Japanese invaders who invaded China.
They were both the most famous young officers in the Kwantung Army at that time.
"The wisdom of Ishihara, the courage of Sakagaki," this nickname was famous at the time.
The Japanese army knew very well that if it weren't for Commander Ishihara's plan, with the intelligence of Tojo and his men, they would never have thought of provoking the Northeast Army, and then escalating the situation, giving the imperial army the opportunity to occupy the Northeast.
If this incident had not happened, Japan might still be racking its brains over how to seize Northeast China, let alone occupy most of China's territory.
And Commander Sakagaki is also not weak...
His most brilliant achievement was sweeping away the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army with half a division. Although he and Rensuke Isogai and others suffered a slight setback in the Xuzhou area in the end, who dared to deny his talent?
If everything went according to their plan, with their current offensive, they would only need to fight for a few more months to truly occupy the entire China.
But in the end, the fact turned out to be just as Commander Ishihara had expected. The expected short-term war turned into a protracted war.
"Ishihara-kun, you're suddenly in such a good mood today and want to treat me to a drink. I don't think it's that simple." Commander Sakagami took a sip of sake and said lightly, "Do you also think that now is the time for us to take action against the Soviet Union?"
Commander Ishihara shook his head and said, "I didn't say that, but I think this is a rare opportunity to push the Empire's forces into the Far East."
Commander Sakagami said softly, "So, you have already figured out how to face Zhukov and his iron torrent?"
Commander Ishihara filled his own glass, then took a sip.
"I have to say that Zhukov is indeed a very troublesome opponent. However, just yesterday, the Information Command Department of the Kwantung Army received a piece of intelligence."
"The Soviets have obtained detailed information about Operation Barbarossa, and they plan to transfer Zhukov back..."
