Chapter 767 Chang Gu’s reaction

"idiot!"

At the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, when Ryosuke Hase read the emergency telegram from the Naval Command, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his stool.

 Fortunately, his long experience in intelligence work allowed him to resist the urge and read the contents of the message carefully.

The Navy's top secret message: The Third Fleet, aircraft carrier and air force were leaked. It is hoped that the culprit of the leak will be identified as soon as possible and handed over to the Military Command for disposal.

After reading the telegram, Chang Gu’s face was very gloomy. Damn it, why did the navy know about this so quickly.

 The intelligence was given by him last night, and the news was leaked this afternoon, not even for 24 hours. There is only one explanation for this.

 There is something going on inside the National Government.

  And it’s very hidden.

 Hase Ryosuke immediately realized this terrible fact, and also understood that Fat Tiger must be notified of the matter as soon as possible, otherwise his life would not be saved.

Although I don’t know why Maeda Minoru didn’t suspect him, people can’t always be lucky. If they don’t find the ghost, something will happen sooner or later.

As for whether this was a trap, Hasegu thought it was unlikely. He did not give Maeda Minoru’s adjutant so much money for nothing.

After thinking about it, Hase Ryosuke looked at the time, stood up and walked out of the office, and drove out of the consulate amidst the bows of all the little agents.

 As the Deputy Minister of Intelligence responsible for the work of the Super High School, he has the power to move freely and does not need to explain his itinerary to anyone.

The car drove for a while and finally stopped in front of a clothing store. Changgu got out of the car, straightened his collar and walked in naturally.

The white manager in the store immediately came forward, hugged him warmly and greeted him familiarly, during which the two of them were talking and laughing.

 “Mr. Hase, please.”

 “I left the best cashmere for you.”

 After a few words about the weather in Shanghai, the manager raised his hand to invite Hase to intervene and introduced what good things had recently arrived.

When he came to a large mirror, the tailor immediately began to help him measure his figure and brought him a large number of cloth samples for him to choose from.

This is privately customized clothing, which is expensive but best reflects one's status. It is a luxury that only a few people can afford.

Through the glass showcases on the street, you can see Changgu picking up samples and asking questions from time to time. He orders designs without hesitation when he encounters designs he likes.

 Throughout the whole process, everything seemed very normal. There were no hidden communications or any abnormal movements between the two parties.

After choosing a style, Ryosuke Hase put down a deposit of one hundred US dollars, got in the car and drove away surrounded by the staff of the dress store.

 Before leaving, or to alert passers-by and vehicles, the car horn blared three times and quickly returned to silence.

At the same time, the fruit stall owner across the road stared intently and gently placed the red kettle on the top shelf.

 Twenty minutes later,

 Ju Laida Road, French Concession.

 In the Yunke Lai Hotel, which is used by the Secret Service to hide personnel, He Yijun hurriedly entered Zuozhong's room and reported the report seriously.

“Deputy Director, there is a message from the Hongkou secret observation post. The target they are guarding has just gone to the dress shop and asked for further instructions.”

 She doesn’t know who the target is, let alone what the target’s actions mean. She only knows that she must report back immediately if there is a warning.

Even the personnel at the observation post do not know the specific identity of the visitor. This method can protect the other party's safety to the greatest extent.

"I see."

Hearing He Yijun's words, Zuo Zhong, who was reading, nodded slightly. After thinking for a few seconds, he calmly issued a new order.

“Inform the brothers at the observation post and ask them to evacuate according to the predetermined plan. After returning to Jinling, they will immediately set off to the southwest without any mistakes.

I will deal with other matters. You and I must forget what happened today. Violators will be punished by military law. Do you understand? "

 “Yes, Deputy Director.”

He Yijun solemnly replied. She understood what Zuo Zhong meant. The observation posts that retreated as soon as a signal was detected were all one-time use.

This kind of observation post requires a huge investment and will only be used when important people and important tasks are involved. There must be no mistakes.

She also understood that if she didn't need to be in the middle to contact various groups of operatives, she would have to leave Shanghai to ensure that the news was not leaked.

 So after the report, He Yijun consciously returned to his room and began to isolate himself, temporarily cutting off contact with the outside world.

 Working in the secret service,

 Don’t make mistakes,

 Especially when it comes to tasks.

 But Zuo Zhong had no time to pay attention to these. The fruit stall outside the dress shop was indeed a one-time observation post, dedicated to serving Chang Gu.

From the day the cooperation was established, several intelligence agents who had been to the Liuguo Hotel in Peking were waiting here silently.

These people are his earliest team members. They have undergone the most stringent screening, and their parents and relatives are also under the protection of the Secret Service. They are very reliable.

 After all, Ryosuke Hase is too important, and as his status increases, the value of intelligence becomes greater and greater, so he cannot be overprotected.

This guy sent a signal today which means requesting an urgent meeting. The question is why he did it and what happened.

 It is exposed,

 There is still important information.

The two of them just met yesterday. Logically speaking, no big changes will happen in such a short period of time unless there are external factors. Zuo Zhong closed the book and stood up. He walked slowly around the room with his hands behind his back, running through all the possibilities in his mind.

However, after much deliberation, I have gained nothing at all. There is currently no clue, and even gods cannot predict the future.

After a long time, he suddenly stopped, the expression on his face became solemn, he turned his head and looked out the window at the slowly darkening sky and made a decision.

 As the clock keeps beating,

The moonlight once again enveloped Shanghai.

 The warm wind of early summer blew across the Huangpu River, and the waves brought up a little bit of ripples. In a bar by the river, Ryosuke Hase was worried.

If he knows his own business, he sells a hundred secrets to the Special Affairs Office. If he is discovered, it will be difficult to die.

How the empire will deal with traitors, the officer in 226 is an example. He does not want to become a mutilated corpse outside Tokyo.

 It seems it’s time to consider a retreat. Fortunately, Fat Tiger is not the one who burns bridges when crossing rivers, otherwise the world is so big that he would have no place to stand on his own.

 “What a coincidence, Mr. Hase.”

At this moment, Zuo Zhong appeared beside Chang Gu silently, smiled and motioned to the bartender to pour the wine, and spoke in Japanese.

Under the dim light, the surrounding customers were either drinking or chatting, completely unaware of the movement between the two of them.

After the wine glass was filled, Zuo Zhong waved away the waiter who was waiting for a tip. He raised the glass and took a sip of wine while asking in a low voice.

“What on earth is going on? Why did you go to the dress store to send a signal? Do you know how much loss I suffered due to your actions today?

If you can't tell me the reason, Mr. Hase, I won't pay you for the information this time. Don't blame me for being dishonest when the time comes. "

He noticed that Chang Gu was a little nervous, so he deliberately teased him, trying to make the other person relax, so as not to encounter any acquaintances who would notice something unusual.

 “Kagato-kun is joking.”

Hase Ryosuke gave a wry smile, glanced at his side, and replied in a low voice: "Money is a trivial matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend it if I have the money.

The information I told you last night was known to the Navy Command a few hours ago. There must be spies in the upper echelons of your government or military.

If this person is not solved, the cooperation between you and me must stop. In Peking, you said that you would not force me to carry out a death mission.

 Besides, if I die, it will be of no benefit to you. Only if I am alive can I continue to provide valuable information, right? "

 After saying that, Ryosuke Hase carefully observed Zuo Zhong, his heart was agitated, and he secretly prayed that the other party was a person who kept his word.

 If not, all he can do is wait for death. As for resistance and threats, considering the opponent's record, forget it.

 Sure enough, the intelligence was leaked.

ˆTMD!

Hearing Changgu’s explanation, Zuo Zhong sighed inwardly. He was really afraid that something might come his way, and the government’s sieve attribute was activated again.

 He ​​had been thinking about it before, and he only thought of the possibility of leaking the secret. It could be said to be a premonition, or it could be said to be the experience of being tricked many times.

How many times have the Japanese found out about their documents before the ink was dry? They would have ignored them in peacetime, but this was wartime.

God knows if the spy has access to specific military deployments. If this information is leaked, people will die.

 A war that affects the survival of a nation,

 Don’t be careless.

 So when reporting to Jinling, he kept a cautious eye and did not explain the combat mission of the Japanese army in Shanghai and the appointment of Hase Kiyokawa.

In addition to worrying about spies and some **** in the government who have loose mouths than their belts, there are two reasons why he does this.

 The first is to prevent the intelligence itself from being deceived, as not changing a single word can easily expose the spy. The second is to worry that the telegram will be intercepted and deciphered by the Japanese.

 The first point goes without saying.

Using intelligence with different contents to screen personnel is a common method used by intelligence agencies in various countries. It is very effective and there is no reason for the Japanese to not use it.

 The way to crack it is also very simple, that is, only transmit information that can be obtained through normal channels, at least not high-level secrets.

 Obviously, combat plans and personnel appointments are definitely not included in this. The Japanese have not made government affairs public, so reporting them all is too dangerous.

 The second point is even simpler.

 Every government knows the importance of deciphering, and the Japanese are no exception. In fact, Japan is the first Asian country to decipher telegrams.

They have talents that other countries cannot match when it comes to sneaking around. They successfully deciphered Beiyang Fleet messages during the Sino-Japanese War.

In this case, he would rather go back to the bureau headquarters in person to tell Dai Chunfeng these two top-secret messages than report it by telegram.

 Fortunately,

 Otherwise Ryosuke Hase will be dead.

After thinking about this clearly, Zuo Zhong no longer hesitated and said seriously: "You are right, your death will not do us any good.

 Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything until you are completely safe, just like I promised at the Six Nations Hotel.

 In addition, our internal spies will be eliminated soon. As a friend, I guarantee that that **** is dead. "

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely that the next most important task was to catch a certain mouse from the hole and then get rid of it.

 On the frontal battlefield, the Secret Service does not have the strength to intervene, but counter-espionage is their duty, and spies lurking in the government must die.

 He said,

 The locusts cannot be stopped even when they come.
