Cicada Moving

Chapter 766 Angler Fish

 July 11, 1937.

 Jinling, Bureau of Statistics.

 Dai Chunfeng was shocked when he received the telegram from Zuo Zhong from Shanghai, and immediately rushed to Qilu to report that this matter was too serious.

The Japanese reorganized the Third Fleet and sent three aircraft carriers and so many aviation units. It is self-evident what they want to do.

 Different from North China, the terrain of East China is flat and flat. As long as the Japanese army lands, it will be difficult to resist it with the strength of the national army.

Furthermore, Shanghai and Jinling were the most important industrial, economic, and political centers of the Republic of China. Once occupied by the Japanese invaders, the future of the country would be in danger.

Waging a war is about fighting for money, and fighting is about fighting for morale. If you lose your capital and money bag, how will you fight the next war?

 It is necessary to strengthen Shanghai’s strength,

 Prevent the enemy from opening a second battlefield.

But what he didn't expect was that someone seemed very calm when he heard the news, and even had a confident smile on his face.

“Chunfeng, the Japanese pirates have always used the tactic of surrendering without fighting. It has been several days since North China launched their attack, but they are still threatening and have not dared to formally start a war.

I conclude that they have no intention of engaging in a fierce battle in the near future. They are just making gestures. However, we still need to be prepared to be prepared.

It looks like this. The German weapons troops originally scheduled to be sent to the north were transferred to Shanghai to be on guard. Be careful not to have a head-on conflict with the Japanese.

Tell Shen Zhi that his main focus should be on monitoring powerful people. This is the most serious problem for the party and state. Go ahead. "

Dai Chunfeng came in a hurry,

　　Sighing and walking away.

Even though he didn't learn any advanced military skills in Huangpu, he understood that the Japanese's actions were not a feint, but a real fight.

 The deployment of so much naval equipment requires an astronomical amount of fuel. No one would spend so much money just for a show.

How come the always wise leader couldn't see the other party's wolfish ambition? Of course, he didn't dare to ask this question.

 All he can do is continue to provide information about the Japanese army. As for how to respond to the Japanese attack, that is not what he can say.

 I hope Shen will eventually discover more,

 Otherwise the situation will be dangerous.

Someone watched Lao Dai leave quietly, stood up with a civilization stick, walked to a map of the Republic of China, and stopped at Shanghai.

 In fact, he had already decided to fight in Shanghai, firstly to keep his position under his buttocks, so as not to be criticized by others for being cowardly.

Second, the Japanese army lured the enemy's main force to Songhu, opened the East China battlefield to contain the Japanese army in North China, and tried to stabilize the situation in the entire north.

Third, the British and American countries would not be willing to see the Japanese monopolizing Shanghai's interests. Maybe they could force the other side to retreat through diplomatic pressure.

 Just like the 128 Incident,

 The advantage this time must be mine.

Someone secretly set a flag and nodded proudly. As for why he didn't reveal it to Dai Chunfeng, it had nothing to do with trust.

Everything is done in secret and revealed in words. Before the war officially begins, the relevant arrangements cannot be disclosed to anyone, including Dai Chunfeng.

Moreover, the way to employ people is to be single-minded. After what happened just now, I believe the Secret Service and the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will do their best to investigate the Japanese army.

In this way, our chances of winning have increased. Under the circumstances, perhaps the army can defeat the Japanese pirates in Shanghai and boost the national spirit.

　The next development of the matter,

  Exactly what someone thought.

Dai Chunfeng returned to the bureau and immediately ordered the North China District to collect intelligence quickly, and asked the Tokyo team of the Intelligence Section to inquire about high-level developments in Japan.

Since Tokyo Station was destroyed, reconstruction work has been very slow, and those who escaped from the General Staff Headquarters are still undergoing internal screening.

Lao Dai simply did not have the energy or time to send anyone to Japan. Fortunately, someone from the Intelligence Section was in Tokyo, so his work was not delayed.

 That afternoon, the reply calls from North China District and Fu Ling were sent to Dai Chunfeng, and both sides discovered some unusual situations.

 First of all, two mixed brigades of the Kwantung Army stationed in Manchukuo suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown. The possibility of supporting the Japanese army in North China cannot be ruled out.

In addition, a division of the Japanese army stationed in Goryeo also left the military camp, and the nearby port was tightly blocked by various transport ships.

 Except for changes in the regular army.

  Japanese immigrants in Manchukuo also began to mobilize.

  If these are Japan's defensive measures against conflict, then the movements in Japan clearly illustrate the Japanese ambitions.

 One aviation regiment and three infantry divisions are transferring and boarding ships. Such a large-scale military mobilization has no other possibility than war.

At the same time, before the Tokyo Group message was issued, Japan held an emergency meeting attended by the Prime Minister, Foreign Ministers, Land, Maritime and Tibet Ministers.

The specific content of the meeting is unknown, but Fu Ling speculated that it should be related to North China or even East China, otherwise there would be no need for the navy to intervene.

Dai Chunfeng, sweating like rain, went to Qilu for an audience again. This time, the arrogant person finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

 “Comer.”

After studying the map for a while, someone thought that the Japanese would take action, but did not expect that the other party was so determined, so he immediately gave the order.

“Ask the confidential director of the Military Commission to come to see me, pass the relevant information to the agencies above the military level, and order the 88th and 87th Divisions to rush to Shanghai immediately.

 Jinling's war reserves are now enough to support twenty German armorers for three months, and enough food to support 500,000 people and 100,000 horses for one month.

Coupled with the expansion of the Shanghai Security Corps last year, I do not believe that the Japanese have three heads and six arms and can easily break through our defenses. "

Speaking of this, someone held his waist and stood under a large map. The sun shone on his shining bald head and created a halo, like a god.

Military micro-operations alone were not enough. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, slowly picked up the telegram information and said to Dai Chunfeng.

“Chunfeng, hand these over to the Cryptography and Interpretation Office of the Electrical Affairs Department of the Ministry of Communications and let them try to see if they can decipher the Japanese messages.

I don’t know much about telegraph technology. I think I know the contents of the Japanese army’s military orders, and I should be able to figure out a few details by comparing them with the secret codes.                                                                                                                      carbon he said? "

 “Okay, leader.”

Dai Chunfeng nodded obediently, took the message respectfully and walked backwards. After going out, he jumped into the car and went straight to the Ministry of Transportation.

In the car, he recalled the information about the cryptanalysis office, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He had long wanted to take possession of this place.

Compared with the Lishan Company run by Wei Daming, it is the research institution with the highest level of government deciphering and has many telecommunications talents.

 Specialized in monitoring and collecting telegram signals sent by Japanese embassy and consulate personnel, in order to decipher the cipher codes used by Japan.

Although there is little progress so far, this is because the time is too short. As long as you give them some time, there will be gains.

It's a pity that the leader took it too seriously and didn't have the opportunity to contact the cryptanalysis institute. Today, he must explore the details there.

Even if you can't annex the other party, it's still good to win over one or two business backbones. He knows this very well.

Dai Chunfeng looked at the scenery outside the window and thought about how to strengthen his own power. The speed of the car underneath him stirred up a cloud of dust.

The smoke and dust dispersed,

 Only two deep ruts were left.

 A few hours later, Minoru Maeda, who had monitored the small gang responsible for the 226 mutiny in the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Navy Command, looked serious.

He knocked on a document on the table, frowned and asked the adjutant beside him: "Is this what Anglefish sent? Are you sure?"

"Hai, Your Excellency Minister, I personally received the message from Angler." Faced with the question, the adjutant replied with certainty.

 “Am I worrying too much?”

After listening to this, Minoru Maeda stood up, folded his arms and muttered to himself, then stared down at the document in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The document clearly stated the news of the reorganization of the Third Fleet, the aircraft carriers Hosho, Ryūjō, Kaga, and the two air fleets.

 Apparently, secrets were leaked again and again within the National Government, and the newly obtained top-secret information was given to the enemy in the blink of an eye.

I'm afraid that the commanders of the front-line troops of the Guo army are not as fast as the Japanese in receiving their own secrets. This kind of confidentiality ability is useless.

 The Japanese penetrated deeply into the Republic of China,

It can be seen from this.

What worries Maeda Minoru is that there is no news in the intelligence that the upper brass of the Navy intends to appoint Hasegawa Kiyoshi as the commander of the Third Fleet.

There are no specific missions for the Third Fleet, aircraft carriers, and air forces. They only briefly introduced the situation, which is not even classified as confidential.

After a long time, he clenched his fist into his palm and said with some reluctance: "The intelligence work of the Republic of China by all parties in the empire has always been unsatisfactory.

The non-nationals in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are okay. The Super High School has at least deployed some manpower in Jinling. However, we and the Army Red Deer have been failing.

I thought there were spies working in the military or government agencies, and some people at the Imperial Consulate in Shanghai were the most suspect.

 That’s why I set a trap and ordered people to leak His Excellency Hasegawa Kiyoshi’s appointment and military deployment, hoping to find him out.

 Now it seems that I am being paranoid. The consulate is trustworthy and I can safely cooperate with them in the future. This is a good thing. "

 Good thing,

 Is it really a good thing?

A hint of regret flashed across Maeda Minoru's sinister face. What if he could catch the imperial traitor, even if he didn't cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

 The adjutant on the side did not know what his boss was thinking, but he also raised objections: "Minister, how do the Chinese know this information.

Whether he is a traitor or a spy with a relatively low status and unable to collect confidential information, I think the consulate still needs to focus on it.

Those people have worked in the Republic of China for too long, so long that they may have forgotten His Majesty the Locust and the Empire, and have to be on guard. "

 “What you said makes some sense.”

Maeda Minoru smiled and nodded, turning to look at the adjutant: "But many people know about the integration of the Third Fleet and the North China Fleet.

After all, dozens of ships are involved, complete secrecy cannot be maintained, and there are more government agents at Tianjin Port than the Marine Corps.

As for the mobilization of aircraft carriers, there is no guarantee that there are no Chinese spies on the fishing boats encountered during the voyage, and it is also normal to hide them from the leader.

The same is true for the aviation fleet. Those talented people have learned the arrogance of Omi and want to fly their planes close to the ground.

 Whenever there is a flight mission, the surrounding police stations will definitely receive an alarm. As long as the Chinese are not deaf, they will definitely know their transfer. "

 “Haha, that’s it.”

After explaining a few words to the adjutant, he waved his hand to end the topic, then touched the stubble on his chin and said with interest.

“Inform all local government offices, Tianjin, Shanghai ports and airports to conduct screenings within a two-kilometer radius, and shoot suspicious persons without mercy.

Finally, contact our business partners in the Special High School and ask them to investigate the intelligence leak immediately and make sure to find the culprit.

We usually provide help, and now it’s time for Mr. Hase to repay the favor. Is that right? Hahaha~"

 “Yes, Your Excellency Minister.”

The adjutant couldn't help but smile sincerely when he heard that Maeda Minoru no longer doubted the consulate in Shanghai and thought about the deposits in the bank.

　　It’s not that he is disloyal, the problem is that this job cannot allow him to live the noble life he dreams of, but Mr. Hase can.

Then, whoever targets a partner who can bring him huge benefits will be his enemy, including Locust.

 Life,

 Always look forward.
