Shadow Spy

Chapter 368 Forced to shirk responsibility
In addition, according to reports from the Asian Fleet, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet is resting and recuperating at various military ports in the mainland, and many of its main ships are undergoing large-scale maintenance...

Well, this should be preparation for the subsequent voyage!Li Junhao thought.

According to the news coming back from the Shanghai Concession, Japanese businessmen are purchasing large quantities of high-count fine cotton, safflower oil, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, toilet water, etc. They don't know what they are doing.

However, Li Junhao knew that the Japanese army was preparing to go south to deal with the jungle environment in Southeast Asia.

Dai Xingbing from Chongqing reported that military commanders had noticed that Japanese troops in China were being mobilized frequently, and a list of mobilized troops was attached with the telegram;
Wu Gengshu reported that the Military Telecommunications Office had discovered that the number of long-distance telegrams sent and received in Japan had increased significantly recently. It was suspected that there was a large-scale operation, and capable forces were being organized to decipher it. However, it could only be confirmed that Japan's navy and army were involved in the operation, and the specific content was not yet known. clear……

Okay, that’s enough information!Li Junhao can now write an analysis report based on this, but is Mr. President just pretending to be ignorant of this as he was said to be in his previous life?

If Roosevelt did intend to allow the attack to happen, would he be resented by him for using this report as a warning?But if this report is not written, he, the acting intelligence director, will be blamed after the attack!

ha!After guessing various possibilities, Li Junhao calmed down, tried to recall the memories of his previous life, combined with the existing intelligence, and wrote this report...
-
Before the end of October, Li Junhao handed over the written analysis report to Ayers, and the rest was not up to him. Let President Roosevelt do whatever he wanted!
After putting aside this problem, he fell into other busy work. Not to mention several positions in the White House, the establishment of the CIA and the supervision of the FBI were enough for him to worry about. In addition, there were analysis reports on the situation in the Far East and the European war situation. It’s so busy waiting for him!

These tasks are so heavy that others are embarrassed to disturb him, but in fact he is not really that busy in private. On the one hand, several of his current helpers are very capable, such as: Donovan, Wang Renqiang, Wen Qiang, Jason, Liu Geqing, Xiaoyu, Xiaohu, Yuri, Jieqi and others, plus the super computer in his portable space allows him to work intelligently, so the work intensity is much easier than it seems to outsiders.

However, as November came, he called the Shanghai Concession and asked Li Xiaoyu and Zheng Pingru to hand over their work as soon as possible. Later, the United States-Pacific War was about to break out, and he was afraid that they would be in danger if they stayed in Shanghai; and After November, air and sea routes from China to the United States are no longer safe.

In addition, he also notified Consul General Sheehan in Shanghai and Commander Hobbs of the Joint Command, asking them to secretly increase the level of defense and reserve grain, coal and other supplies...

On Monday, November 11, when Li Junhao went to the White House for a meeting, Ayers told him: The president already knows about Pearl Harbor. The matter is over for the time being. Don't tell others about it.

Li Junhao nodded and agreed, he knew what it meant!
After returning to the CIA, he instructed Donovan and Wen Qiang to encrypt intelligence about the recent movements of the Japanese army, narrow the scope of knowledge, and all intelligence personnel who could see this must sign a confidentiality agreement.

Seeing the confused expressions on the two people's faces, he didn't explain much, he just asked them to execute it.Then, on the third day, Roosevelt met with his old classmate Donovan alone and the two had lunch together.

On the 7th, Li Junhao did not go to work at the CIA. National Security Advisor Ayers came to the King's Building and announced the president's order: Brigadier General Panson needed to take a temporary rest due to health reasons, and his duties as Acting Director of Intelligence and Director of the CIA would be suspended. , from now on, Donovan is appointed as the deputy director of the CIA to temporarily preside over the work; Deputy Director Wen Qiang assists Donovan's work.

The two of them had obviously known the news in advance and were not surprised, especially Donovan, who was mentally prepared to take the blame.
-
Li Junhao, who was forced to "recuperate" at home, was a little helpless. He originally didn't want to shirk responsibility and let others take the blame, but the president, Ayers and others disagreed because his ability was recognized by everyone. If it was because of this incident, It is really too much to be implicated and affect your future for no fault of your own!

So Roosevelt personally came forward and interviewed his old classmate Donovan, asking him to take the blame!
For this reason, Li Junhao even asked Donovan to apologize, but he said: This is the right way to deal with it, and the right thing to do is to ensure that there are no flaws in Director Pan Sen's resume. This is very important for the future of the CIA!Therefore, Director Pan Sen does not need to apologize at all. He will bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty and be removed from the position of deputy director. He can just go back to be the director of the Intelligence Division. He will not lose anything at all.

Of course, Li Junhao knew that everyone was trying to protect himself. While he was very touched, he felt that politics was really nothing. They were obviously doing the right thing, but they had to do it because of the isolationist sentiment still pervading the American people. "Making a mistake" is really a very sad and ridiculous thing!

Well, now that it's like this, he can "recuperate" in peace. It's a good time to take a look at Hoover's confidential files. It's not a bad thing to know more about the secrets of this era.

On November 11, the last three Pan Am DC-15 passenger planes from Shanghai flew to San Francisco, USA. Li Xiaoyu and the 3 brothers and sisters from Fenghuang Village, Zheng Pingru, her father Zheng Yue, and the former concession police came on board. Jiang Anhua, deputy director of the Bureau's Investigation Department, and a group of 15 people set foot on American soil, and immediately transferred to Washington under the arrangement of the local FBI branch...

At this point, except for Yang Shixiong, the chief of staff who is actually responsible for the military strength of the Shanghai Concession and is assisting Major General Vaughan, all of Li Junhao's direct team have been transferred to the United States!There was no way, since he couldn't stay in Shanghai, many of the measures originally conceived could not be implemented. He could use this method to protect the people around him.

Regarding Yang Shixiong, Li Junhao specifically asked for his opinion. He said: He still needs to stay in Shanghai, so that he can better coordinate and command the military forces in the concession to fight against the Japanese army... He will come back when the war situation in Shanghai stabilizes. It’s never too late to be beautiful.

Li Junhao respected his decision and asked other subordinates in the Shanghai Concession to unite with Chief of Staff Yang to jointly maintain the situation... When a critical moment comes, priority must be given to protecting the safety of the Chief of Staff and sending him out of Shanghai. He will send people Respond.
