Chapter 1179 "Employment"

"Vice-in-Chief, Nobita's message."

"Oh? Let's take a look."

The day after Bai Wenzhi invited the Juntong agents to a banquet, He Yijun walked into Zuo Zhong's office and brought a secret telegram.

Due to the importance of Daxiong, all messages related to him did not go through the Military Telecommunications Office, but were sent and received from He Yijun's independent radio station.

To prevent anyone from deducing Hase Ryosuke’s true identity from the time and frequency of sending and sending messages.

After He Yijun left, Zuo Zhong took out his code book and began to decipher the encrypted telegram, which was much longer than usual. After a long time, a line of words appeared on the telex newspaper.

Looking at the contents of the secret message, his expression was puzzled at first, then confused. Finally, he slammed the table and cursed Hase Ryosuke, the bastard.

"MD! Who am I to be? A mercenary, or a murderer!"

In the message, Ryosuke Hase reported a piece of news and made a request.

The news is that Japan, Germany and Italy are allied, and Japan may launch raids on Hawaii, the West Coast of the United States, and Southeast Asia. The investigation work in Hawaii is handled by the Hase Agency.

As for the request, Hase Ryosuke plans to transfer two lurking spies back from the mountain city, hoping that Zuo Zhong will kill them midway, and at the same time send elite military agents to perform the investigation mission on their behalf. For this, he is willing to pay one hundred thousand US dollars.

This is the opposite of Tiangang!

A Japanese spy who was instigated to rebel took command of the military!

what is this?

Will a son-in-law bite the master?

Zuo Zhong's face was uncertain, but he suddenly thought of something and regained his composure.

Japan's sneak attack on Hawaii is a definite fact, but its attack on the west coast of the United States may be a smokescreen because the distance is too far.

Even in Southeast Asia, the Japanese would not take action until the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor was destroyed.

So do you want to help Hase Ryosuke?

The answer is of course we have to help, because a war between Japan and the United States would not only be beneficial to the Republic of China, but also beneficial.

Japan is an island country and is extremely short of various resources, such as oil and iron ore. It has almost no production and relies entirely on external transportation.

Although oil accounts for only 7% of Japan's total energy consumption, it has extremely important strategic significance. As the main fuel for the military and shipping industries, oil is the "blood" of industry.

However, 80% of the oil Japan uses every year comes from the United States and 10% from the Dutch East Indies. Its energy security is approximately zero.

The situation with steel is similar. Currently, part of Japan's industrial raw materials come from iron mines in North Korea and Northeast China, and part is obtained by re-smelting "scrap steel" exported from the United States.

Once Japan and the United States go to war, those American profiteers will stop transporting "scrap steel" and oil to Japan, no matter how unwilling they are. The Japanese war machine will fall into a situation of "insufficient blood supply."

Moreover, Americans have strong industrial strength. After Japan and the United States go to war, the government will definitely benefit a lot from Uncle Sam. This has been the case in history.

Therefore, it would be beneficial to the Republic of China to help Ryosuke Hase to investigate Pearl Harbor. The premise is to convince Lao Dai and Baldhead that such a major strategic action must be reported.

After pondering over and over again, Zuo Zhong put the original coded message and the translation into his pocket, got up and went to Dai Chunfeng's office to ask for a meeting with the cheap teacher.

When he arrived, Dai Chunfeng was reviewing documents. Seeing the arrival of his proud disciple, Lao Dai smiled and asked him to sit down first. After finishing the work at hand, he walked over slowly.

"teacher."

Upon seeing this, Zuo Zhong put down his tea cup, stood up and greeted him quietly, while pouring a cup of hot tea for the other party.

Dai Chunfeng nodded, picked up the lid of the tea cup and skimmed off the foam in the cup, and asked casually.

"Shen Zhi, what's the matter?"

Zuo Zhong didn't waste any time and directly handed Changgu's message to the other party. Whether he should agree to Nobita's request was a matter for higher authorities. His little arms and legs couldn't bear it.

Dai Chunfeng curiously received the secret message and looked down. When he saw Japan trying to attack the United States, his expression changed again and again. This news was really shocking.

Where do the Japanese have the courage to provoke even the Americans? It is the world's first industrialized country, and even the Japanese's little possessions are not enough to fill their teeth.

After a while, Lao Dai recovered from the shock, raised his head and asked.

"Shen Zhi, whether the intelligence is highly reliable or not, could it be a means used by the Japanese to identify Hase?"

Dai Chunfeng has been the head of an intelligence agency for many years. When he encounters such important information, his first reaction is that the mole has been exposed. The enemy is using false information to set a trap.

Zuo Zhong pretended to think and was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly under the sharp eyes of the other party.

"It's not like false intelligence. The Japanese's national policy has always been to use small things to make big gains. This has always been the case from the previous dynasty to the present. It is not impossible to indulge in gambling on the country's destiny and sneak attack on the United States.

You have also seen that Japan is about to form a secret alliance with Germany and Italy. By doing so, the other side can show strength and sincerity to future allies. "

Dai Chunfeng recalled the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Battle of Tsushima, and the Russo-Japanese War, and found that the Japanese were indeed keen to bet on the rise and fall of a country.

However, he still couldn't completely believe the intelligence, and asked whether the alliance might also be false news released by the enemy. This kind of thing would be variable as long as the agreement was not released. Gan, Lao Dai, please stop being so suspicious. Are the history books of later generations false?

Cursing secretly in his heart, Zuo Zhong racked his brains to recall, and decided to start with the information that had been confirmed so far, or to persuade Dai Chunfeng.

"Teacher, this matter has been foreshadowed for a long time. It was not something the Japanese came up with all at once. Under the pressure of the established European and American powers, Japan, Germany, and Italy have long colluded.

In the 25th year of the Republic of China, Germany and Italy reached an alliance treaty and established the Berlin-Rome axis. Last year, the two countries signed the "German-Italian Alliance Treaty".

Japan signed an anti-Red Russia agreement with Germany in the 25th year of the Republic of China. Italy also joined the following year. The three parties emphasized concerted action.

Japan, Germany, and Italy have become de facto allies. The signing of the alliance this time only puts this relationship on the surface. "

Following Zuo Zhong's explanation, Dai Chunfeng stopped talking. Even if he no longer wanted to believe it, he understood that what the Republic of China tried its best to avoid - the Japanese-German alliance still happened.

Germany was an invisible ally of the Republic of China for a long time. It provided the government with a large amount of industrial equipment and weapons, helped the Guojun establish a modern military advisory group, and designed many defense facilities. The relationship between the two sides was once very close.

No matter what angle you consider it, Yamashiro does not want to see Germany and Japan come together. This is a huge hidden danger to the national defense security of the Republic of China.

But when things have reached this point, it is obviously unrealistic for the government to expect to maintain good relations with the Germans, and it must find new allies.

When both the British and the French are unreliable, dragging the Americans into the water may be a good choice.

This may be unfair to ordinary people from a foreign country, but there is no morality between countries. Everything only depends on whether it is beneficial.

Dai Chunfeng paced back and forth under the former president's photo, his face turned ugly. Helping the Japanese to investigate Hawaii was like pulling chestnuts from the fire. He really couldn't make up his mind.

If the action goes wrong and the Americans are offended, the already difficult situation of the Republic of China will be even worse. Then they will all be the sinners of the nation.

Facing the hesitant Lao Dai, Zuo Zhong made up his mind and said something again, proving the inevitability of war between Japan and the United States based on the international situation, so as to dispel the other party's worries.

"Teacher, out of fear of being cut off from the supply of oil and other raw materials by the United States, Japan implemented a policy of industrial self-sufficiency in the past two years in an attempt to fundamentally eliminate its dependence on the United States.

Japanese newspapers carried out endless propaganda to the public. Even the children in school knew that the ABCD (the English abbreviation of the four countries of the United States, Britain, the Republic of China, and the Netherlands) conspired to collude, monopolize resources, and strangle the Japanese Empire.

In June of this year, Japan asked the newly established French Vichy government to approve the Japanese army's mission in French Indochina to ensure the supply of military supplies to the East Indies.

Last month, Tokyo even threatened London that if Britain did not withdraw its troops from Shanghai and close the Burma Road, Japan would declare war on Britain. You should know this. "

Zuo Zhong recounted the information fed back by intelligence stations in Southeast Asia and Europe, looked into Dai Chunfeng's eyes, and continued to persuade patiently.

“Looking at the Americans, in July, President Roosevelt signed the national defense bill. Article 7 of the bill clearly stipulates that the export of certain materials can be prohibited when necessary.

A variety of commodities, including scrap steel, crude oil, and various advanced civilian industrial equipment, have entered the control list. This is a public slap on the Japanese and a warning to the other side not to provoke Britain, the United States, and France.

By this month, part of the Pacific Fleet originally stationed in Southern California was transferred to Pearl Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii. The U.S. Congress also passed a proposal to establish a two-ocean navy.

This proposal legally confirms the legality of the existence of the U.S. Pacific and Atlantic fleets and authorizes the Navy to step up the construction of cutting-edge ships, which is obviously preparing for war.

The Japanese are very aware of this, and they have also increased the number of joint fleets' attendance. Teacher, the differentiation of international forces has become very clear. The United States and Japan must have a war!

Helping Nobita find out the US military intelligence in Hawaii is equivalent to helping the Japanese strengthen their determination to fight the United States. If Japan and the United States start a war earlier, the country will have less energy to expend. The students are willing to carry out this mission personally. "

Perhaps it was the last sentence that moved Dai Chunfeng. Faced with Quanquan's innocent heart, he asked Zuo Zhong to go back first and took a car to report to someone's official residence.

That night.

With a tired look on his face, Dai Chunfeng returned to the military command headquarters and called Zuo Zhong. He said nothing but one sentence.

"Shen Zhi, I have entrusted you with the full responsibility for this matter. Under your discretion, I allow you to mobilize all the power of the government to assist Daxiong in completing the mission.

This matter must be kept confidential, and the number of insiders must be kept to a minimum. The hope of the country lies in you, so no problems can arise. "

In the afternoon, just an hour after Dai Chunfeng met with someone, the Supreme National Defense Conference held an emergency secret meeting at the Huangshan Residence. The theme of the meeting was to discuss the gains and losses of the United States' participation in the war.

After a brief discussion, participants unanimously agreed that the United States' participation in the war would be of great benefit to the Republic of China and would not cause any harm, which is why Dai Chunfeng said what he just said.

But Dai Chunfeng did not say that someone was planning to inform the United States before the Japanese launched a sneak attack to please the sponsor in order to obtain more assistance.

The plan is perfect, but someone needs to go to the dangerous situation in person. If the operation fails, the government will not recognize the identity of the operators. This is a black operation.

Zuo Zhong saluted solemnly without hesitation and answered with practical actions. He dared not forget his country despite his low status, and the same was true for his high status.

As he said a long time ago, as long as he can drive away the Japanese, he doesn't mind making a deal with the devil, nor does he mind becoming the devil.

After my death, I will not care about the raging floods. The life and death of Americans have nothing to do with him. The giant beast of the military-industrial complex is about to emerge, and all the military commanders have done is to give it a gentle push.

But before that, he had to find a reliable helper who was familiar with the situation of the U.S. Navy.

After deliberation for a long time, Zuo Zhong found He Yijun, and the two walked into the room where the radio was stored. Soon after, a string of mysterious radio waves flew into the night sky.
