Agents of the Republic of China

The Japanese finally launched a full-scale war against the United States. Just five hours after the intelligence was sent, the US Pacific Navy Fleet's US military base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii became the target of their sneak attack.Japan dispatched more than 2000 planes to conduct an unexpected surprise attack on the American warships and military targets parked in the military port. The Americans seemed to be unprepared for this. Therefore, under the two rounds of bombardment and torpedo attacks by the Japanese The losses were heavy, and more than [-] people lost their lives.

Japan's telegram declaring war was delivered to the embassy in Washington one hour before the start of the attack, but the staff of the embassy failed to decode and print the telegram in time, which led to the fact that the telegram was not sent to the US government until after the attack. hands, because of this "accidental" delay, adding to the anger of the Americans.

US President Roosevelt immediately signed an official statement declaring war on Japan, and said in his speech, "Today is a shameless day!" Germany and Italy immediately declared war on the United States, while Britain declared war on Japan.

Shanghai's public concession has become a piece of fat on the lips of the Japanese.The Japanese attacked the concession, and the navy launched an attack on the British and American warships moored in Shanghai port. The resistance lasted only two hours, and the public concession was completely occupied, and the British and American warships surrendered with white flags.

At this time, Hong Chawei had become the primary arrest target of the Japanese secret service. He had to sneak into the French Concession and seek refuge with Lin Xiaotang. He couldn't stay in Shanghai any longer, so he had to find a way to go to Chongqing through Lin Xiaotang.

Hong Chawei looked haggard, and his beard may not have been shaved for a long time, but he was just drinking one glass after another. Lin Xiaotang grabbed his wine bottle, but Hong Chawei roared like a lion, "Lin, can I be a useless person drinking wine?" Can't you order a drink?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "It's not your fault, we have sent all the intelligence and analysis back to your government, and now things have turned out like this, your boss has to clean up the mess yourself, it's not my fault! "

Hon Chavey raised the wine bottle and raised his neck, poured the wine down his throat, and sprinkled it all over his body, but he didn't realize it, and murmured in his mouth: "Why, there is no even the most basic defense. , This is the second time the mainland has been attacked, Lin, do you know? One-third of the Pacific Fleet’s strength has been wiped out, although the battleship can be repaired and built. But this is a great shame!”

Hon Chavey seemed excited and sat up straight, "Also, the heavy oil depot built by the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor was also hit by the Japanese army, and most of the 450 million tons of heavy oil was lost. The port, what does this mean? It means that Pearl Harbor’s role as a military seaport will be greatly reduced. It also means that Pearl Harbor, the forward base of the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean, will lose its support function in the last two years. In other words, It means losing the initiative in the Pacific War!"

Lin Xiaotang touched his chin silently. For the Japanese army’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the beginning of the Pacific War, Lin Xiaotang thought that he had no regrets. All the information was sent back to Chongqing in time. Chongqing sent an urgent message to the US side. I believe that if the US side will pay attention If so, it wouldn't be such a big loss.And I heard that the military command has deciphered the Japanese military's code and concluded that the United States attacked Pearl Harbor, but now it seems that the Americans did not take the Chinese's timely reminder to heart.

But Lin Xiaotang still has some doubts about the Americans' actions.He even doubted whether this was a "bitter trick" by the United States.As we all know, the United States has been full of "isolationism" and "appeasement policies" in recent years.They made a lot of money in the First World War, so they always imagined that they could repeat the same tricks from the outbreak of the Second World War and establish the political and economic dominance of the Americans in the world.

Germany and Italy have already occupied most of Europe, and the British Isles are only trying to support it. At this time, Japan is also aggressive. I believe that the top leaders of the US government can clearly see this crisis. Once Germany and its allies calmly occupy the entire If the foundation of Europe becomes weaker, it will be a catastrophe for the United States. Germany and Japan will attack the United States from both east and west directions. No matter how strong the industrial base and financial resources of the United States are, they will never be able to resist The joint attack from the two continents of Europe and Asia, not to mention a Russia that has always been vacillating.

Therefore, based on these analyses, Lin Xiaotang doubted that the inaction of the U.S. government this time was an unavoidable sacrifice to enable the U.S. to participate in the war, and Pearl Harbor was just a luxurious bet on the roulette wheel between the U.S. and Japan.

"Don't be depressed anymore, the war has broken out, and we still have to face many difficulties. After you leave, will there be a new commander in Shanghai?" Lin Xiaotang asked Hong Chawei.

Hong Chawei shook his head, "I don't know yet. We still have some people lurking in Shanghai. I have arranged a contact point, and I will contact you through it in the future."

Lin Xiaotang thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "I have someone here, maybe you can use it, you know this person."

"Who?"

"Fanny!"

"The courtesan, the intelligence dealer?" Hon Chavey also laughed. "She is a rose with thorns, how could she become your new love?"

Lin Xiaotang nodded embarrassingly, "I will never miss a woman with taste. I promised to arrange an American identity for her. You also know that after the Japanese occupation of the concession, I don't know what will happen. She also hopes to be able to There is a guarantee."

Honchawi put down the bottle, "It's not a big deal, I will help you get it done before I leave, she can work for the U.S. government as one of my recruits, and I can guarantee that she will get a job with a good salary. "

Lin Xiaotang was also not polite to Hong Chawei, and raised the wine bottle to touch him.Regarding Fanny's arrangement, Lin Xiaotang had already had her own plan. This woman is a natural spy material. Ever since Lin Xiaotang planned to build a special agent team under her direct management, Fanny found six people of different nationalities through her connections. Girls, Lin Xiaotang is currently sending people to identify these people, but once the "Red Army" is activated, they will use their resources and connections to continuously collect information into Lin Xiaotang's hands, because these courtesans are in Shanghai's Japanese Popular among military officers.

And Lin Xiaotang has a deeper meaning.He even set his sights on the post-war period. China and the United States are currently bound together allies, but it is uncertain when there will be friction for the sake of interests. He also hopes to plant a nail among the Americans and wait until the time is needed. , you will get a fairly generous return.Obviously, Fanny is a suitable candidate. Because of her joining, Lin Xiaotang is confident that he can send more eyeliner to the American people.

For this reason, he doesn't mind that Hong Chawei regards Fanny as his "lover".

……

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaotang quietly came to the church where Pan Qiqi asked him to meet.The church is near the Bund, and in the distance is the Bund filled with gunpowder smoke. The Statue of Liberty is shrouded in the smoke, and she looks weakly at what is happening under her feet.

Perhaps because of the war, there were so many people praying in the church. The blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners no longer had the arrogance of the past. They showed more uncertainty about the future and despair and helplessness when their lives were threatened.Lin Xiaotang guessed that maybe the content of their prayers was similar, they were all praying to the gods to allow them to live humblely in this unpredictable era.

Lin Xiaotang looked at the surroundings of the church, and Pan Qiqi nodded to him in the corner.

"Are you back?" Lin Xiaotang asked Pan Qiqi after sitting down.

Pan Qiqi lost a lot of weight, and his face was tired.Their organization was severely damaged in this incident, and the sacrifice of some cadres and deeply buried agents was irreparable for them.

Lin Xiaotang handed the file bag to Pan Qiqiong, "This is the information obtained by An Yiming and Huanyan. It contains a memory record of the Japanese cabinet and military headquarters before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It not only confirmed the Japanese army's southward advance plan , and including the next stage of combat planning, it is very valuable!"

Pan Zhongqi took it and stuffed it into his briefcase.

Lin Xiaotang continued: "I tried to rescue An Yiming and Huanyan, but it was very difficult. They are important targets of the Japanese. In view of the previous attack on the army hospital, the Japanese even sent An Yiming out of danger. He was transferred from the hospital to the gendarmerie, so far I can only find out that both he and Huanyan are still alive."

Pan Zhongzhi nodded heavily, "Thank you, Brother Youzhong. Considering your status, let's do something like this. We will do everything possible to rescue them."

Lin Xiaotang knew the meaning of Pan Zhong's words very well, and it was not easy to rescue An Yiming and Huanyan. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaotang's heart was heavy.He felt he had to say something.

"An Yiming and the members of his team have proved their innocence with their actions and lives. Can you take back the review of them, and although Huan Yan is a member of our military commander, he has never done anything that cannot pay you , They are just in love, and they have never betrayed their beliefs or each other, I hope you can fulfill their last wish." Lin Xiaotang specially emphasized the word "last", because he and Pan Zhongzhi are very clear that Huanyan and Anyi Ming's chances of surviving were extremely slim.

Pan Zhongqi took off his glasses and wiped off the fog covering the lenses, "When it comes, I have already applied to the organization to restore Comrade An Yiming's identity and position. You can rest assured about this. They The contribution we have made is obvious to all!"

Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, he understood how important "innocence" was to An Yiming.

In the church, there was a faint sound, and a group of white-clothed children began to hum softly in front of the holy image.Lin Xiaotang and Pan Zhongqi also closed their eyes, enjoying the rare peace and serenity at this moment.

However, this peace and tranquility was broken at this time.
