My spy diary

Chapter 394 Intelligence (please vote)

"Brother Shanyu, tell me about your wonderful ideas."

"It's not a brilliant idea." Mao Qiwu shook his head modestly, "My plan is to build a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang."

Dai Chunfeng looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

Mao Qiwu cleared his throat and continued:

"If there really are people like them among the senior officials in the bureau, this operation must be kept strictly confidential. I suggest that the core members of our Jiangshan Gang serve as the backbone of the operation.

Once you join, you are not allowed to quit or act alone. You all sleep in the dormitory and are not allowed to contact the outside world. "

"Operation personnel can rent a house near Jugongguan, send telecommunications personnel with equipment to move in, and monitor day and night for unknown radio waves.

At the same time, others disguised themselves as power plant workers and telephone office staff, finding various excuses to enter the mansion, pretending to check the lines and secretly looking for the secret radio station.

This is just a routine method. Dai Chunfeng knocked on the table:
"and then?"

Mao Qiwu took a deep breath and continued, "The Fifth Column is so hidden, the mastermind behind it must be very cunning. To deal with such a person, if we are not careful, our intentions are likely to be exposed. So in addition to the open investigation, it is best to send people to infiltrate the interior of the Ju Mansion."

"Infiltrate?" Dai Chunfeng immediately asked, "Do you have the right people?"

Mao Qiwu hesitated for a while and said, "I plan to let my wife go."

"Xiang Xinying?" Dai Chunfeng smiled and looked at him meaningfully.

Mao Qiwu also looked at him with an unchanged expression.

After a pause, Dai Chunfeng asked with a smile: "She must have been scared by Zhou Weicheng's incident?
Haha, Brother Xinheng has a theory, saying that women are like cats. Not only do you have to spend time with her and coax her, but you also have to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, if you’re not careful, she’ll be picked up by a stray cat outside. It’s the nature of a cat to love to steal fish.”

Mao Qiwu laughed at himself and said, "Yes, now everyone in the bureau knows that she cheated on me and she calls me a coward behind my back."

Boss Dai laughed in silence: "Brother Shan Yu, you are really bold. Of course, we men have to do great things. When we are successful, what are women? They can't even compare to cats."

He thought to himself that Xiang Xinying was indeed a talented undercover agent, and she had special talents and was good at making friends with men from the upper class, so it was most appropriate to let her infiltrate the Ju Mansion.

Mao Qiwu smiled lightly and asked, "Since Brother Yunong agrees, I will arrange it?"

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

"Yes." Mao Qiwu was about to get up when Adjutant Jia knocked on the door and came in, holding a telegram in his hand and looking bitter.

Dai Chunfeng frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Adjutant Jia handed the telegram to Boss Dai without saying a word, then stepped aside with his head down.

"What the hell?" Dai Chunfeng stared at him in confusion, picked up the telegram and started reading it. After just a glance, his face instantly turned dark.

"Commander, what happened?" Mao Qiwu was confused and looked at Adjutant Jia, but Adjutant Jia had a bitter face and said nothing.

Dai Chunfeng also said nothing, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

"Brother Yunong, what happened?"

Still silent.

After a long time, Dai Chunfeng rubbed his face and said with a self-deprecating look:
"Brother Shanyu, now we are truly brothers in distress."

This made no sense and Mao Qiwu was completely confused.

Dai Chunfeng handed him the telegram, closed his eyes and sank into the sofa.

Mao Qiwu took the telegram in confusion, and just glanced at it before his face changed drastically.

This telegram was sent by Xiao Bo, the adjutant of the Chinese Embassy in the United States. It only said one thing: Boss Dai's fiancée, Yu Shuheng, who was studying in the United States, actually had a new boyfriend.

As the chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau's American intelligence station, he was the one who handled Yu Shuheng's study abroad procedures, paid all of Yu's study abroad expenses, and took care of Yu's study abroad life, so he knew everything about Yu.

He soon discovered that Yu Shuheng was having a passionate affair with a US Air Force lieutenant and seemed to want to become a US citizen. She showed no signs of intending to return to China.

I remember that Yu Shuheng took the suitcase carrying a huge amount of money from Dai Chunfeng, turned around and boarded the plane to the other side of the ocean.

At first, she would write a heartfelt letter every week, calling "Mistress" sweetly "Darling", but as time went on, her letters became shorter and shorter, and she sent them less and less frequently.

Boss Dai was busy with work and didn't take it seriously.

When I received the telegram, I finally understood that it was not because he was too busy with studies to write letters, but because he had a new love.

"Brother Yunong, this is a great shame and humiliation. We can't just let this go. Her mother and brothers and sisters."

Mao Qiwu knew that Boss Dai was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Being dumped or used by a woman would be a real loss of face for him, and he had to take revenge.

Moreover, this was not just a matter for Boss Dai alone, but also concerned the reputation of the entire Military Control Commission. Everyone around him knew everything he had done for Yu Shuheng.

But as soon as he said this, he remembered that after Yu Shuheng came to the United States, she quietly took her mother and younger brothers and sisters with her under the pretext of visiting relatives. From then on, she lived far away from home and lived a carefree life like a god.

"Although the United States is out of reach, there is still room for punishment. As long as we stop her living expenses and tuition fees, she will come back obediently," Mao Qiwu said angrily.

"If Brother Yunong still feels unsatisfied, there is no need for the American station to take action directly. We can find a few land bullies to make her disappear without anyone noticing."

Mao Qiwu was very proud of himself, but he didn't expect Dai Chunfeng to hear him and frowned and asked:
"As a man, is this kind of revenge decent?"

After a pause, his expression gradually changed from anger to loneliness. He sighed and said tiredly:
"Forget it, everything remains the same, just pretend nothing happened."

This made Mao Qiwu a little confused. His woman ran away with another man, but he still had to support her education and provide for her family. It was too cowardly.

For someone like Mao Qiwu, it is an honor for his wife to sleep with a big shot in the upper class. But for a small section chief and gigolo like Zhou Weicheng, it is a shame and he must be killed as soon as possible.

He wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he saw Boss Dai lying on the sofa and seemed to have fallen asleep, so he had to leave quietly.

At this moment, the most relaxed and free people in the Military Intelligence Bureau were none other than Zhang Yi and He Zhiyuan.

When the meeting was over, Zhang Yi walked out of the meeting room and heard He Zhiyuan's low sigh, "He doesn't trust us," so he moved together with him and separated them.

He Zhiyuan looked at the situation on the chessboard and asked:
"Yun Yi, what is this fifth column you're talking about? Isn't that nonsense? You sound so serious about it, but how come I've never heard of it before?"

"If Director Mao says there is, then there must be. Just wait and see." Zhang Yi said, but his eyes did not leave the chessboard, as if playing chess was his job.

He Zhiyuan made a move, "An elephant walking in the field": "He is still so mysterious, afraid that others will know his wonderful ideas. Hey, is the Ju Mansion so easy to search?"

Zhang Yi responded with a "Ma Zouri" move: "Director Mao is a man of many talents and often has some brilliant ideas. This is not surprising."

He Zhiyuan chuckled: "What a wonderful idea, it's just a conspiracy. Don't look at him as a timid person, he is a master at seizing power. The first shot!"

Zhang Yi knew about this. Originally, the most important departments of the Military Intelligence Bureau were the First Intelligence Department and the Second Party and Government Intelligence Department. However, Mao Qiwu had recently formulated new regulations for the operation of these two departments. All intelligence submitted by the military intelligence units in various districts, stations, offices, etc., would first be collected in the secretariat's receiving and sending section.

After the receiving and sending section has registered the information, it will classify it according to the nature of the intelligence, such as enemy and puppet forces, party and government, social, international, and economic trends, and send it as soon as it is received, and then distribute it to the main personnel of the relevant departments.

In short, Mao Qiwu turned the original rules of intelligence summary reports into written regulations and family rules, and no matter how high-level the document was, it could not escape his eyes.

The veteran spies were naturally very dissatisfied with his behavior of usurping power.

Everyone is used to acting independently and often showing off their ability to make decisions on the spot. Now they have to ask for instructions and report on everything. Even a meeting with Boss Dai requires Mao Qiwu's approval. Their actions are restricted, and they are naturally very annoyed.

They didn't dare to complain to Boss Dai, so they instigated a few big spies from the Hunan faction to complain to the official chief secretary Tang Heng.

Tang Heng had never dealt with Mao Qiwu before, and was very curious about what this unprepossessing guy was capable of.

But when he was summoned, Mao Qiwu was so humble and submissive, and he nodded in agreement, without showing any temper at all.

Tang Heng asked him to treat the old spy better, and he readily agreed. But in the end, he still followed his own family rules.

After doing this a few times, Tang Heng had no way to deal with this kind of person, so he stopped paying attention to him.

Facing He Zhiyuan's attack, Zhang Yi was not panicked at all. He used a single move to resolve the crisis:

"Director Mao is the incarnation of Boss Dai. He should be the one showing off his power. People like us who are not from the Jiangshan Gang should stand aside."

Zhang Yi put up a pawn, but he didn't expect He Zhiyuan to have a backup plan. With a snap, he captured one of Zhang Yi's horses:

"If I fall for your trick, all these years of chess will have been in vain."

"Thirty-Six Stratagems." Although his horse was eaten, Zhang Yi was not panicked at all.

He drank a sip of hot tea, cheered himself up, and soon turned the disadvantage around.

Seeing the chess game at a stalemate, He Zhiyuan hesitated while holding a chess piece:
"If I push my pawn, your horse will jump out and I will be passive. If I don't push, there is no other way out. It's a dilemma. Yun Yi, how are you doing in the Intelligence Department?"

At this time, it was Zhang Yifeng's turn to be calm and composed: "There are pursuers in front and blockades behind. If you wanted to draw chess just now, I could accept it. Now, I can't agree to it."

"This is a different time now. Zhao Libiao is going to be transferred. If you are willing to come over, I will go and talk to Boss Dai. How about you be the deputy director and head of the operations department?" He Zhiyuan held the chess piece in his hand and persuaded her.

Because Zhao Libiao could not gain a foothold in Shanghai due to Wang Tianlin's betrayal, he was transferred to Shancheng by Boss Dai and appointed as the chief of the Operations Section of the Operations Department, which was also a demotion.

But recently, a conflict arose between Shanxi's local tyrant Yan and the chairman. The chairman ordered the Military Control Commission to block the passage from southern Shanxi to Luoyang, Henan, and control the flow of personnel.

Using the excuse of preventing progressive people and young students from crossing the river to southern Shanxi and going to Pagoda Mountain, Dai Chunfeng recommended Zhao Libiao to be the major general training commissioner of the First War Zone and administrative inspector of the Luoyang Special District, in order to strictly control the Yellow River ferry from Luoyang to Shanxi.

"The tiger is out of the cage."

Zhang Yi picked up the teacup again. He thought that Zhao Libiao was a cruel and ruthless guy who killed innocent people indiscriminately. Even within the Military Control Commission, his behavior was despised.

Shen Xishan, who had lived with him in Shanghai for several years, hated him so much when he mentioned him, saying that he was "a typical villain from the outside to the inside." You can imagine how perverted he was.

I'm afraid that if he is reinstated this time, he will only take advantage of the favor and become even more spoiled, causing more harm to the local area.

He Zhiyuan dropped a move and looked up at Zhang Yi: "So, you're not tempted at all to be the deputy director? It's better than working in the second department, right?"

"I am really moved. Will Boss Dai agree? General!"

He Zhiyuan looked at the chessboard and saw that the situation was hopeless. He stopped focusing on the game and said with a smile:
"I'll go talk to Boss Dai."

Zhang Yi asked: "How do you say that? What's the reason?"

He Zhiyuan glanced at him, pointed at the chessboard and said:

"Play chess."

"Why do you play chess alone?"

Mao Qiwu returned home with a lot on his mind. Seeing his wife staring at the Go board, he asked.

Xiang Xinying threw the chess piece away and said unhappily, "You don't let me socialize with others, and you don't stay at home with me. If I don't play chess, are you going to suffocate me to death?"

"When did I tell you not to go out? You can go out and play now."

Mao Qiwu knew that his wife could not sit still, so he quickly told her about the "Fifth Column" and said, "The boss has agreed. Your task is to find a way to get close to Dean Ju."

Hearing this, Xiang Xinying was startled and said:
"I really won't go out and seduce men anymore. Please don't test me anymore. I know I was wrong."

Mao Qiwu was amused and said with a smile: "I'm really not testing you. This is a task assigned by the boss. Just like when you dealt with the old traitor Yin Rugeng and the two Chen brothers for intelligence, the group needs you to make some sacrifices."

Xiang Xinying stared at him suspiciously and asked timidly:

"Are you really willing to let me sleep with those high-ranking officials?"

Mao Qiwu said seriously: "You promised to protect my career. In this case, what I ask you to do must be beneficial to me. Just do it with all your heart."

Xiang Xinying looked at him strangely, and felt that she could no longer understand what this man was thinking.

Just because I had an affair with Zhou Weicheng, he went to great lengths to kill someone else. Now he turns around and actively persuades me to seduce others. There is really no one like him.

But since she was really allowed to go out and socialize, Xiang Xinying immediately and happily drew her eyebrows, put on powder and started to dress up. Soon she was dressed up as a charming socialite and left with her purse.

Mao Qiwu looked on with a smile, full of confidence.

It was late at night and the bright moon was rising gradually outside the window.

Zhang Yi leaned back in his office chair with a cup of hot tea, closing his eyes in deep thought.

[Today’s information has been refreshed]

[1. You met Mao Qiwu today and obtained relevant information - Mao Qiwu has instructed Xiang Xinying to infiltrate Ju Mansion.]

[2. You met He Shangyou today and obtained relevant intelligence - He Shangyou has instructed Secretary Wang to disguise himself as a "Red Party traitor" to carry out the fishing plan.]

Fishing plan!

It sounds silly, but sometimes the simplest fishing strategy is to just throw out the bait and the fish will bite willingly.

How to disrupt this plan?
Now the bureau headquarters has not only cut off external calls, but also restricted travel. There is no chance to pass on information. The only hope now is that the underground party will not be fooled, will they?
