Chapter 1260: Danger Again

"What? The Germans are going to attack Red Russia, and the Japanese are secretly negotiating with the Jews?" Dai Chunfeng stood up and asked loudly after listening to Zuo Zhong's report.

It's not that Old Dai was caught off guard. Although people of insight had long predicted that there would be a war between Germany and Russia, the two countries had close relations before and even signed a non-aggression treaty. How could the situation change suddenly and war broke out?

As for the negotiations between the Jews and the Japanese, it was even more unexpected. The Jews, who had already become stray dogs, actually colluded with the Japanese. This was something that Old Dai could never have imagined.

Zuo Zhong stood in front of his desk and replied respectfully, "That's right, teacher. Please decide how to deal with these two matters."

Dai Chunfeng sat back in his chair. He had no doubt about his student's ability. Since the other party dared to come and report, the accuracy of these two things was not 100%, but it was not much different.

The problem is that this matter involves a wide range of people, and the only ones who can really make the decision are the Chairman and the senior members of the Party. As the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he can only provide some consulting advice and is not even qualified to participate in decision-making.

After thinking for a while, Old Dai asked Zuo Zhong for his opinion: "Shen Zhong, do you think we should notify the Red Russians? After all, the lips and teeth are in danger."

Zuo Zhong rejected the proposal without blinking, and his reason was very simple: he must not collude with dissidents, and it was also in the interests of the National Government to allow Germany and Russia to fight each other.

The speech of this old anti-life expert was immediately praised by Old Dai. Yes, on such a major issue of right and wrong, the position of their Military Control Commission must be firm.

Moreover, the more fiercely the Red Russians and the Germans fought, the more they needed the help of the National Government. Otherwise, once the National Government was defeated, the Japanese Army would be able to attack the Far East with all its might.

As for the second question, Zuo Zhong gave a completely different answer. The Military Control Commission must stop the secret talks between the Japanese and the Jews and must never allow another country within a country to appear in the Northeast.

After hearing this, Dai Chunfeng had a general idea in his mind and immediately decided to go to the official residence with Zuo Chong to report these two important pieces of information to someone.

As Zuo Zhong expected, after learning that the Germans were going to attack Red Russia, someone praised the news repeatedly. However, when he heard that the Japanese were having a secret conversation with the Jews, his face suddenly darkened and he cursed the Jews for being treacherous.

You can't blame anyone for this. It's a rare opportunity to do a good deed, but in the end you were betrayed. This would be unpleasant for anyone.

After the anger subsided, someone walked a few steps in the room with a cane. The bald head shone brightly under the light, making Zuo Chong dizzy. Fortunately, the other party quickly stopped and gave an order.

There are two commands.

First, the information that the Germans might attack Red Russia had to be kept strictly confidential and the news had to be kept within a small circle.

The second is that the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Intelligence Bureau cooperate to destroy Japanese and Jewish spies while not overly stimulating the Jewish forces in the United States.

These two orders are typical of the Kuomintang style, very much like the Kuomintang, with a "unique" prudence and a unique aesthetic of "taking off pants and showing off".

The reason why the Central Bureau of Investigation was involved was because the matter was related to politics, but someone did not trust the Central Bureau of Investigation's combat effectiveness, so the two intelligence agencies had to work together.

Out of trust in Zuo Zhong, someone handed over the task of selecting personnel to the Military Control Commission, and allowed them to select all the Central Control Commission agents except Zhu Liuxian.

Zuo Zhong thought about it for a while and named Xu Enzeng and Shen Dongxin, one as a deputy director and the other as a chief secretary. This was a high standard and the Japanese would have to say hello when they knew about it.

Choosing Xu Enzeng was, of course, to find a scapegoat, while bringing Shen Dongxin along was purely out of goodwill. The other party was just one step away from being promoted from chief secretary to deputy director, and Zhu Liuxian had proposed it several times but his superiors had not agreed.

The reason is that Shen Dongxin lacks real achievements. No matter how corrupt the government is, it still has rules and regulations, and promotion has its own procedures and standards.

Although someone didn't quite believe Xu Enzeng, he finally agreed. No matter what, he had to give face to the Er Chen.

After the discussion, Zuo Zhong and Lao Dai took their leave and returned to Luojia Bay. The master and apprentice discussed the list of personnel for the military unification party.

"Shenzhong, you might as well let Gu Qi lead the team to Shanghai. You don't have to take the risk yourself. After all, that place is enemy-occupied area." Dai Chunfeng's tone was full of concern.

Zuo Zhong shook his head and said, "Teacher, I will not be at ease if I don't go there in person. Besides, I want to try to see if I can destroy the relationship between Japan and the Jews.

Otherwise, if we disrupt a confidential conversation, the other party can do it a second time, a third time. It is impossible to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so we must take the initiative to attack."

His decision was not made on impulse. Intelligence work is special in nature and important tasks require high-level personnel to lead the team so that decisions can be made on the spot to avoid missing the opportunity.

Not to mention the Republic of China, even in later times with advanced communications, a CIA intelligence officer at the assistant deputy director level was killed in an African country. It is difficult for outsiders to understand such a thing.

Not to mention the distant past, the regional leaders of the underground party in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were also underground workers. Does that mean they would not work? That doesn't make sense.

Dai Chunfeng thought seriously for a moment and reluctantly agreed to Zuo Zhong's request. The situation on the front line was changing rapidly. If an emergency really occurred, it would be too late by the time the order from Shancheng was conveyed.

Although he agreed, Lao Dai also proposed his own conditions: "Let Gui Youguang accompany you. I will feel more at ease with him protecting you. He is tall, so it is convenient for him to block bullets."

"Thank you teacher for your concern. I am very grateful." Zuo Zhong's eyes were slightly red, and he agreed with the suggestion of blocking the bullet. In a flash, he managed to interpret a touching scene of teacher and student getting along well with his eyes and micro-expressions, showing his superb acting skills.

First-rate actors go into politics, second-rate actors go into business, and third-rate actors go into acting. This saying is indeed true.

After the emotional scene, Dai Chunfeng suggested taking Zheng Tingbing along. When asked the reason, Dai only said four words: cut off the tail to survive. The rest depends on Zuo Zhong to figure out on his own.

Can Zuo Chong understand the profound meaning of his cheap teacher? That’s for sure. Once he is entangled by the Japanese, he will not hesitate to throw out Zheng to attract the enemy’s attention.

Although Zheng Tingbing has long faded from the public eye and thinks about making money all day long, he seems harmless, but this guy has too strong a base. He is someone's aide-de-camp and may seize power at any time.

Historically, Zheng Tingbing was posthumously awarded the title of first-class general, while Lao Dai from Pengpengle was only a lieutenant general. This shows the status of the two in someone's heart.

Zuo Chong even felt that Lao Dai hoped that he would do something to help Lao Zheng during the operation, but it was okay if he was just setting a trap on purpose. After all, they were comrades in arms, and he, Zuo, had a bottom line.

Shaking his head to dispel some strange thoughts in his mind, Zuo Zhong asked Dai Chunfeng how to keep the news of Germany's attack on Red Russia secret.

  Unexpectedly, Old Dai sneered: "Shen Zhong, after all these things, don't you understand? Is there any real secret in the government?

Today, it’s just the two of us here, master and disciple. Let me say something that may be taboo. Sometimes I even suspect that I am a member of the underground party!

Believe it or not, in less than 24 hours, the Northwest might receive detailed intelligence today. Forget it, just do your best and leave it to fate."

Seeing the cheap teacher's bored look, Zuo Chong felt like laughing. If it were in later generations, this would be a standard example of "I report myself".

But what Lao Dai said was a little inaccurate. The underground party might have known the contents of the German secret telegram before that.

  There is a reason for saying this, Xu Kang. Is that mathematics professor really just Yuan Chuyu's academic teacher?

Being good at math doesn't mean you can decipher codes. Deciphering codes requires basic knowledge of intelligence. Why would a student like Yuan Chuyu know all this? Logically, the other party needs a guide, but the Military Control Commission didn't find one.

Who has the letter sent by Yuan Chuyu? Zuo Chong smiled, as if he thought of something interesting.

  But even if the Northwest got the intelligence and warned the Red Russians, the arrogant Red Russians probably wouldn't believe the comrades in the mountains. In the eyes of the white people, a group of farmers knew nothing about code breaking.

  Xu Kang lit a letter and put it into the brazier. The flames danced on his face. After a long time, the flame went out and the room returned to darkness. A faint sigh was heard.

a few days later.

In Shanghai, the Chongguang Hall was under tight security inside and outside. Osako Michimasa, Hase Ryosuke and a group of Japanese spies gathered in the conference room and listened to the special envoy on the seat reading out the warning order.

In the order, Osako Michimasa was scolded harshly, and the Cabinet Intelligence Agency put all the blame for the loss of contact with the "Kappa Group" on his head.

There is no other way. Someone must be held responsible for this matter. We cannot ask the Director and the Prime Minister to personally perform seppuku or bow in apology. Where would the dignity of the Locust Country be in that case?

After all, Osako was the most suitable person to shift the blame to, and someone reported that Osako had arbitrarily withheld funds for the operation personnel in order to please the Ministry of Finance.

Look, isn’t this conclusive evidence? It’s better for Osako to cry alone than for the entire Cabinet Intelligence Bureau to cry together.

The special envoy who came from afar put away the documents, followed Hase to the door with a smile. He had heard that the extravagance was prevalent in Shanghai's government agencies, and he would definitely criticize it on this trip and challenge his own weaknesses at the same time.

"Hase-kun, His Excellency the Prince asked me to bring you a message. His Majesty the Heavenly Locust is very satisfied with your work."

The envoy, who had a righteous look on his face just a few seconds ago, said humbly that he could not treat the royal relatives with the same attitude as before.

"Yoshi, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Your Excellency. Hase is so grateful that I can't express it in words. Your Excellency, I have prepared a dinner, and several White Russian maids are eager to see you."

Hase Ryosuke opened the car door and winked at the special envoy. Everything was said without words. Japanese men always have special feelings for white women, especially the top leaders.

The car carried away the impatient envoy. Osako Michimasa watched the two men leave, turned back to the quiet room, called his trusted subordinates and gave them orders in a deep voice.

"Secretly adjust the meeting place with the Jews. The leader of the Kappa team, Miyagi Toyotsugu, knows about Hatung Garden. It is no longer safe there."

"Hay."

The subordinate replied and left quickly, wondering about his own future. Tokyo was dissatisfied with Osako, so would he be implicated?

As if he had sensed the other person's thoughts, Osako Michimasa narrowed his eyes, picked up the teacup on the kotatsu (a Japanese low table with a stove underneath) and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes extremely cold.

While the Japanese were scheming among themselves, several Siamese people dressed as businessmen stepped off a French cruise ship from Annan to Shanghai. The foreign concessions not far away were as prosperous as ever.
