Director of the agency?

Zuo Geum was slightly stunned when he heard Hasegawa Ryosuke's words. The agency initially referred to departments in the army that engaged in tasks other than combat, such as propaganda and education, not specifically intelligence work.

Later in the Russo-Japanese War, Akashi Motojiro, as a military officer at the Japanese Embassy in Sweden, organized a group of people to go to Belarus to support the opposition. This organization is called the Akashi organization within Japan.

It was probably because of the easier reason that many special intelligence organizations of the Japanese later began to call institutions, such as the Tianjin Aoki Agency, which belongs to a temporary intelligence dispatching agency.

Most of the leaders of these agencies are members of the department that formulates the plan. The personnel are transferred from other departments according to actual conditions, and are not necessarily limited to personnel in the intelligence system.

For example, there may be diplomats or doctors in the agency engaged in rebellion, and it is not surprising that there are socialites. After all, people like Xu Enzeng are not an isolated case.

Once the task is completed or failed, such organizations will automatically disband and the personnel will return to their original departments to continue their posts. So what tasks does the agency in which Hasai Ryosuke is responsible for?

Left Chong picked up the whiskey sent by the waiter and tasted it for a few bites. When the other party walked away, he asked the question softly.

“What is your scope of work?”

"Due to the failure of intelligence work in Shanghai some time ago, the cooperative personnel were removed by you. The Ministry of Army and the Ministry of Navy held consultations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to try to integrate the tripartite intelligence forces."

Hasegur stared at the woman on the dance floor, a hint of smugness flashed across his face, and he replied softly with a wine glass covering his mouth.

"Tokyo finally decided to establish the Hasegawa Agency, with me as the head of the agency, unified leadership of intelligence work on China, with three classes in politics, economy and culture, and a special working class based on the region.

The staff are from the military, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition to their work, they also undertake part of the anti-espionage business and have the right to conduct loyal reviews of all institutions in China, including the military police.

However, the military is not at ease with us, and military intelligence is still the responsibility of itself. Kato, I don’t want to hold this position, but I can only reluctantly recommend it to the Navy’s partners many times."

This guy said you are still panting.

Zuoge had heard Hasegawa Ryosuke's explanation and probably understood the Japanese's plans. The Japanese Army and Navy were preparing to divest their unimportant businesses and concentrate on military intelligence.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs took the opportunity to gain the power of supervision. This may be a game between the top Japanese leaders. After the 226th incident, many people were very worried about the military that had the tradition of lower-class superiors.

There is a foreign ministry looking at the Japanese army in Shanghai, which is something that all parties are willing to see, even the Japanese military.

After thinking quietly for a while, he asked another thing: "Have you heard of this person Nanmoto Shitaka? What is the purpose of this person coming to Shanghai?"

"I know, the other party is the head of the North China intelligence agency, and he was from the University of Lu. He almost entered the saber group when he was in school, with the rank of Grand Left.

This time I came to Shanghai to serve as the affiliate of the Dispatch Army Headquarters and the general squad leader of the Special Service Department. He is not an easy opponent to deal with, so you should pay attention.

I met this person two days ago at the Navy Special Marine Corps Command, and there was also a young master from the Navy Command Intelligence Department, named Yamamoto. They seemed to be planning something.

These brainless madmen always want to destroy the world. It’s better to enjoy life than to have this time. Well, I should leave.”

Hasegawa Ryosuke informed of a new situation, looked at the woman walking over and turned around and picked up the coat placed on the back of the chair, and finally said another sentence.

"The Case agency received a group of Chinese spies who cooperated with other agencies, which are the traitors you mentioned, with about 100 people.

I will put the personnel file in the dead mailbox later, it is best to clear it after a while, otherwise Tokyo will definitely have doubts about me.

This time I will give you a discount. A person will only charge 100 oceans, buy one free one, and the total price is 5,000 oceans or equivalent fiat currency, US dollars, and pounds."

After saying that, he walked out casually with the woman in his arms, saying hello to his acquaintances on the way, without any intention of concealing his whereabouts.

If celebrities on Shanghai Feng (Harmony) Moon arena come out to play, it is suspicious, who would suspect that a director who is generous and heroic?

Zuo Chong continued to sit in his seat, thinking about what Hase had just said. The confession of the military commander Zuo Yamamoto, Ji Yunqing and Chang Yuqing were mentioned.

According to their statement, the trap against him was planned and implemented by Yamamoto. If the other party and Mitaka Kumamoto got together, wouldn't they give up and want to attack him?

Then let’s try whose methods are higher. After lying in so long, the secret service should appear. Zuo Chong raised his wine glass and drank it all, leaving the dance hall without looking back.

Not far from him, the Public Concession Inspector Kwong Fu'an was holding his dance partner in the dance floor. The two of them slowly moved to the dimly lit corner in skillful dance steps.

"The superior wants to know the situation in Ji's mansion."

"It should be done by the Secret Service. I asked the refugees and servants of the Ji family who were at the scene at that time. The attacker took away the two traitors without disturbing any bodyguards.

The whole process took less than ten minutes. No agency in the government can do this kind of action except the secret service. What's wrong? Is there someone in the Ji Mansion?"

"The organization learned through special channels that a batch of archives in the Shanghai Special Market Intelligence Department had disappeared. Some of the information in it was related to Shanghai Wei. According to the investigation, it is likely that it was at Ji Yunqing's home."

Hearing the dance partner's narration, Kuang Fu'an recalled carefully for a while and shook his head: "The Ji Mansion was burned very clean, and no one saw the attacker take away things, but I will find an opportunity to verify it again."

"Okay, the boatman in charge of the intelligence of Wei Xin, has arrived in Shanghai. You will be responsible for the contact between the Red Team and Wei in the future. He is an old comrade who has been lurking inside the enemy for a long time.

This is your connection method and code. If an accident occurs, you can't contact me, and you must be careful when you go to the old place to find me. The Japanese intelligence agency will conduct a major inspection of the Shanghai area."

The dance partner made a briefing softly, slowly approaching Kuang Fu'an, and quickly put a pack of cigarettes into the other party's pocket in his hand.

"Yeah, I get it."

Kuang Fu'an secretly sighed when he heard that his future contact was an old underground worker. As long as it was not the ones who came back from Red Russia.

This is not xenophobia. Those people have no work experience at all and are easily exposed in an environment where the struggle situation is becoming increasingly severe.

After the two talked about work, facing his wife whom they had not seen for a long time, Kuang Fu'an's eyes were full of gentleness, and hesitated for a moment to ask.

"Xiaobao has been listening recently. The tuition fees of concession schools are getting more and more expensive. I will give you some money in a few days. Don't worry, I will report to the organization."

"No need, the child is very obedient. I heard that the agent headquarters is going to be expanded. I may serve as the head of the General Affairs Section of the Shanghai Station. The salary is enough for life, so you should pay attention to safety yourself." The dance partner looked up at Kuang Fu'an.

"kindness."

Kuang Fu'an's eyes were slightly red, and he hugged the other person tightly.

The two hugged silently for a while, and then walked into the darkness. The revolutionaries' love was not only small love, but also support each other until life and death.

Their romance has nothing to do with flowers or superior living conditions. Some are war fires and smoke. They are not only companions who are close to each other, but also comrades-in-arms who are in harmony with each other through thick and thin.

After a long time, raindrops began to drip over the cold streets, and the first winter rain in Shanghai arrived.

Shanghai Special Marine Corps Headquarters.

Kumamoto tightened his military coat, looked through the window at the soldiers who were cleaning up the ruins of the war, frowned.

To be honest, he didn't like this cold city. If it weren't for General Doihara's order, he would rather stay in North China, where there would be too much work to be done, such as guiding the establishment of the North China Provisional Government.

And here, although it is the front line of the war against China, there is no place to exert its own ability. It can only waste time. I don’t know what Chief Doihara planned.

"Nazuo Kumamoto, please have a cup of hot tea."

At this time, Yamamoto walked to him and handed a teacup, looked outside and said quietly, "It seems that the aviation troops will not be able to take off tomorrow, and the Chinese have a chance to breathe again."

Nanmoto Mitaka held the teacup in both hands, blew the heat and said indifferently: "The overall situation in Songhu is determined, and it is only a matter of time before and after defeating the Chinese. We will soon be able to wash military boots in the Qinhuai River."

Yamamoto did not answer. For some reason, since he saw the fire in the Ji Mansion, he has become increasingly unconfident in the war, especially after receiving information from the frontline.

Thinking of this, he took out a telegram: "In the past 20 days from occupation of Shanghai to today, we have fought many battles with the Chinese around their national defense line, and the combat areas cover most of the north and south of Taihu Lake.

The enemy fought very tenaciously, relying on simple fortifications to stop the locust army. Every minute, countless warriors fell in front of the enemy's positions.

In some places, our soldiers even need to break through with flesh (harmonious) missile offensives. So far, our army has suffered nearly 20,000 casualties.

If the bunkers, fortresses, and trenches opposite were reinforced concrete structures, I really doubt that after reaching Jinling, there were still a few people in the Locust Army who could survive.

In addition, the number of casualties released by the dispatched troops in the Battle of Shanghai was more than 40,000. According to statistics from the Military Medical Department, at least 90,000 imperial soldiers were unable to continue serving, and minor injuries were not included."

Yamamoto sneered, there was only one reason why the military concealed the real numbers, and the casualties were too great.

Against the backdrop of the increasing ambition of nationalism, once the people learn that the Shenwu Empire and the army would have to suffer such huge casualties to conquer Shanghai, which would definitely trigger domestic anti-war remarks.

Moreover, such a huge number of casualties is not easy to explain to the Locust. In order to maintain the face of the empire, the army and some people, the dispatched troops had to fake a large number of casualties data. This is an open secret.

"Nani?"

Minataka Naruto was shocked and quickly grabbed the telegram and started reading it. His face changed again and again. As a professional intelligence officer, he understood what this number represents.

As of this year, the empire's total population is 70.63 million, of which 16.93 million men of military age are 16.93 million. The number of people available for recruitment accounts for about 56.2% of men of military age is about 10 million.

The problem is that the number of people available for conscription does not mean that so many people are really going to be put into the battlefield, so domestic agriculture and industrial production will be completely paralyzed, so now the empire's army only has more than 1 million troops.

The losses of the Battle of Songhu plus 20,000 casualties on the national defense line, the Locust Army lost 100,000 at one time, nearly one-tenth of the total force. This is a horrifying number.

China is so big, and there will be no shortage of wars in the future. How many 100,000 people will be lost in the empire? Do you really have to be the whole nation? In that way, even if the Chinese are defeated, what can they get?

"Your Excellency Da Zuo, I know you are very unhappy when you come to Shanghai, but the work we will need to do is to whether the empire can win quickly. You and I must work together, please."

Yamamoto bowed vigorously and said his heart. He understood how great the contribution it was to support a pseudo-government was, and it was human nature that the other party refused to come.

However, in the intelligence war with the Chinese, the empire was defeated again and again. If the two of them were not united, the consequences would be very serious.

After hearing this, Minataka Namoto's expression was serious and responded solemnly: "I've been taught. Yamamoto's reminder is very timely. Let's talk about the task. When will the plan start?"

"Don't worry, this matter needs the help of an expert. The other party will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow. Please come with me to greet you.

Before this, we will thoroughly clean up Shanghai and find out all the intelligence personnel of the Fructus Party and the underground party in the hidden corners to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan."

Yamamoto got the answer he wanted, smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and held it tightly, as if he had grabbed the enemy firmly in his hand.

That night, there were harsh alarms everywhere in Shanghai. Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai and police officers from the two concessions were dispatched on a large scale to search all residential areas.

The Shanghai station of the agent headquarters was destroyed, and more than 30 people were beaten to death on the spot and more than 50 people were arrested. Xu Enzeng was so scared that he ran back to Jinling overnight.

Not only the Fruit Party, but also the Cao Gang suffered a huge blow. Hundreds of gang members were arrested and more than a dozen old men were invited to have tea.

Everyone knew that the Japanese were serious. The originally chaotic Shanghai quickly restored order, and for a moment, it felt a bit like a peaceful and harmonious person.

A few days later, Yunke from the French Concession came to the hotel.

Zuo Zhong, who was in secret room, fell into deep thought with a telegram. This was an emergency information sent by Lin Fuyilang, with only a short line of words.
