The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 497 Strategic Intelligence
When Hidemi Morita dragged her luggage onto the ship and stood on the deck waving goodbye to Chiyoko, Chiyoko could no longer hold back her tears.

After this separation, she didn't know when she would be able to return to Japan to see her father.

She knew very well that if she went back, her decision would definitely not be welcomed by her family. Neither her mother nor her two brothers would agree.

Even if he is an open-minded father, he actually disagrees in his heart, but he just can't help himself.

In this character, she is very similar to her father. Her father also wanted to marry her mother at all costs. He succeeded, and they lived in love all their lives.

But what about her future with Cheng Mo?
She was actually a little confused and didn't know what the future would be like.

Especially the protracted war between China and Japan, and Chiyoko knew better than anyone that Cheng Mo was fighting for his own country and nation, and would never stop until he sought the final victory.

They are happy together at this moment, but what about the next moment? There are still unexplainable obstacles waiting for them to overcome in the future.

Cheng Mo hugged Chiyoko and patted her back gently. This girl was indeed worth cherishing. She loved him wholeheartedly and shared the same beliefs as him.

But his feelings for Su Moer were real, and he loved Su Moer. She was the wife he decided to protect for his whole life and share the joys and sorrows with.

No one wanted to give up, and he was a little greedy.

The whistle sounded and the ship started moving.

Cheng Mo spent money to buy the best cabin for Morita Hideo, so that he could suffer less on his way back.

"Come back, I'll take you back to the consulate?" Cheng Mo said softly.

"Yeah." Chiyoko nodded. She felt empty inside when her father left. If Cheng Mo hadn't been by her side, she really didn't know what would have happened to her.

"Mo'er is pregnant, so I may not be able to visit you often. I hope you can understand." Cheng Mo said that the emotions of pregnant women need more attention. He really can't treat them equally.

"It's okay, I'll go see you and Sister Moer." Chiyoko wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mo'er actually knows everything, and she doesn't mind me giving you a status, but given your status and my status, this is not the best solution right now." Cheng Mo reached out and grabbed Chiyoko's left hand and said.

"I understand." Chiyoko nodded.

"I've wronged you."

"Minister He Xiang said that your position in the Concession Police Station is becoming more and more important. He hopes you can do more for us." Chiyoko talked about work.

"What does he want me to do?"

"Intelligence, intelligence about the British." Chiyoko said.

"Okay, I get it, but I'm just the leader of the Chinese group now. Even if the British trust me, they won't let me have access to too much intelligence," Cheng Mo said.

"They want to understand changes in Britain's policy towards China and possible aid, as well as the Americans," Chiyoko said.

"Yeah." Cheng Mo nodded. The Japanese dragged him into this and tried every means to hide his identity. It was indeed for intelligence.

Although Tan Shaoliang cooperated with the Japanese in the concession, his relationship with the British was not as good as that of someone who held a British passport.

And the Japanese probably also knew that he had joined the British intelligence agency in the Far East.

That's why he didn't hesitate to let Chiyoko take him down, and even resorted to despicable means such as drugging her.

On the surface, his relationship with Chiyoko is that of a senior and a junior, and there is no way to hide his relationship with Morita Hideo.

Of course, he had already reported this to the British side.

Tony Kaiziwei also hoped that he could get more intelligence about the Japanese through Chiyoko's relationship.

His current identity is a double agent.

Now that Japan and the British have not yet fallen out, he can please both sides and gain the trust of both sides.

Of course, the trust between the two parties is based on the fact that they have sufficient value.

The focus of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still intelligence gathering, unlike No. 76, whose main work is counter-espionage and suppressing anti-Japanese organizations. When the car arrived at the downstairs of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Cheng Mo grabbed Chiyoko's hand and said, "If you don't want to go to work today, then take a day off. Anyway, your job is not unreplaceable."

"No, I've already taken too many days off these days. It's not good to continue taking leave." Chiyoko withdrew her hand, opened the car door, and got out of the driveway.

"Come over to my house that weekend."

"I'm working overtime this week." Chiyoko walked away quickly.

Cheng Mo watched Chiyoko enter the consulate, sighed, then started the car and left.

……

Juxiang Bookstore.

"Boss, has the Azalea magazine I requested arrived?"

"Sir, you came at the right time. You just arrived." Kikuchi Ming raised his eyes and saw that it was Cheng Mo. He exclaimed in surprise and immediately led the way.

"Thank you."

"I knew you were coming." This was the first thing Nakamura Ko said when he saw Cheng Mo.

"Mr. Nakamura, we are in perfect sync." Cheng Mo sat down, smiled, and naturally took a sip of the teacup. "Yes, your Kung Fu tea is getting better and better."

Nakamura Ko smiled and said, "I don't have anything else here, but there's plenty of tea."

"Mr. Nakamura, are the Germans going to attack France?" Cheng Mo asked straight to the point.

"How did you know?" Nakamura Ko asked in surprise. It had not been long since he got this information, the German-Japanese Alliance.

If the Germans wanted to attack the French, they would naturally inform the Japanese, because France also had colonies in Asia.

Moreover, since it is a military alliance, there is naturally a responsibility and obligation to share intelligence.

Otherwise, if you act rashly, wouldn't that be disregarding your allies?

Without political mutual trust, who will ally with you!

"Guessed." Cheng Mo laughed. He could say that he knew the future history. The Germans would launch an attack on France at the beginning of the next month, and the Maginot Line carefully constructed by the French did not play any role at all.

France was taken over by the German army in just one month. The so-called powerful army in Europe is nothing but a joke.

"Your sensitivity to war is terrifyingly accurate, Cheng. You shouldn't be in our line of work. You should be a general."

"At my age, I can only be a battalion commander or a general in the army. It's impossible." Cheng Mo said, "Besides, the work I do now is not as good as that of a general. It's not that I'm narcissistic. Our country has no shortage of generals who can fight. What we lack is people like me who can go deep behind enemy lines to get intelligence, especially strategic intelligence."

"The Germans may attack France next month, but I don't know the exact time of the attack," said Nakamura.

"Then how do I report this information to my superiors?" Cheng Mo was stunned. This kind of ambiguous information cannot be reported randomly. What if it is wrong? Wouldn't that mislead the family's decision-making?

"I can't do anything about this. I don't have any specific information. In fact, it's not easy to know this." Nakamura Ko said, "How is your relationship with Chiyoko?"

"Fortunately, I have passed this hurdle, teacher." Cheng Mo nodded.

"Have you ever thought about letting Chiyo know your identity?" Nakamura Ko asked after thinking for a moment.

"No, this will change her attitude towards me and will put her in unpredictable danger." Cheng Mo refused.

"Are you afraid that you might put her in danger?"

"Yes, I have too many identities. Once exposed, it will be too dangerous." Cheng Mo nodded.

"Okay, I respect your opinion." said Nakamura.
