The Spy

Chapter 259 Prepare to arrest people
Xu Qingyun had said before that the Japanese were likely to create another September 18th Incident.

Mr. Chen is abroad and sees things more clearly than the Kuomintang. Although the Kuomintang army has a large number of troops, there are many factions and warlords. Although the Japanese also have factional disputes, generally speaking, the vast majority of soldiers support their emperor.

Through the previous reforms, the Japanese significantly improved their scientific and technological capabilities, and were far stronger than the Fruit Party in heavy industry.

Whether in the navy or the air force, the Kuomintang cannot compare with them.

The army only has a slight advantage in numbers, but the equipment gap is too big. The old man seems to have purchased a lot of equipment in recent years, but unfortunately he can't compare with Japan in heavy weapons.

Coupled with the fighting spirit, once the fight starts, the outcome is hard to predict.

Mr. Chen did not want to see the motherland fall, but he had to admit that the current Guo army was indeed no match for the Japanese.

Unfortunately, there is only so much he can do. Now he can only hope that the situation Xu Qingyun guessed will not happen.

In Nanjing, the director also received intelligence from Japan.

He had sent people to Japan before. Although the number was not large, he was still able to collect some intelligence, but it was not very detailed.

"Young officers launching a coup?"

When Chu Zuo saw the information coming from Japan, his eyes suddenly lit up. The Japanese were very strong, and both he and the old man admitted that.

If they fight against the Japanese, there is a high probability that they will be defeated.

But if Japan were to have internal turmoil, or cut off one of its own arms, or even worse, if internal warlords emerged and attacked each other, that would definitely be the most advantageous situation for them.

This is important information, he must get the details and then report.

"Zhan Jie, contact William immediately and find a way to get the details of the coup in Japan."

The director called Xu Zhanjie, and he was responsible for contacting William.

"Yes, Virgo."

Xu Zhanjie was slightly surprised. Was there a coup in Japan?
The people sent to Japan did not go through him, but were arranged separately by the director. Xu Zhanjie did not receive any report from Japan.

"Go quickly."

Virgo nodded. William had Osaka in his hands. Osaka was a very powerful man. Last time, he provided important intelligence to the Army Intelligence Department and helped them dig out several important moles who were hidden very deeply.

This has already happened and cannot be concealed. He believes that Osaka will be able to find out what happened.

After Xu Zhanjie left, the director sent several telegrams in succession.

He will not put all his hopes on Osaka, and he must do all the investigation he needs to do.

"Director, there's a call from Wuhan."

Secretary Qi went to the telecommunications department to send a message and brought over the telegram he had just received. This telegram was like timely rain for the director.

“Wuhan, are they going to take action?”

The director was slightly startled, and immediately remembered that years ago, the Wuhan Station had captured Takeshi Yamashita, an important member of the Japanese Army Intelligence Department. Although Takeshi Yamashita did not confess, the Army Intelligence Department withdrew their intelligence personnel, leaving obvious clues to the Military Intelligence Department.

All stations are cooperating with the investigation. Wuhan is investigating the fastest and has found all the suspects.

Chu Zuo instinctively thought that Xu Qingyun sent the message at this time because he wanted to unite all the branches to catch people together. After all, the longer they waited, the more likely they were to make mistakes.

"No, you'll see."

Secretary Qi shook his head and carefully placed the telegram in front of the director. When the director saw the first content, he was stunned for a moment and immediately read the entire telegram carefully.

"Personally from the Director, Mr. Chen, I want to convey that an important event occurred in Japan yesterday. The Imperial Way faction..."

What Xu Qingyun sent was actually the detailed process of the Japanese coup, and he clearly stated that it was Mr. Chen who sent him a telegram telling him about this matter.

Why did Mr. Chen take the initiative to tell Xu Qingyun this?

The director did not have time to think about it and quickly read the entire telegram.

This incident in Japan caused a big stir. It has been confirmed that among those assassinated were Admiral Saito, Director of Education Watanabe, Finance Minister Takahashi and others. The Army Ministry, the General Staff Headquarters, the Metropolitan Police Department and other places have been blocked.

Reactions from all walks of life in Japan were mixed. Ikuto was furious, and several important ministers in the navy had died. He was determined to completely suppress the rebels.

The news is very detailed, much more detailed than the information obtained by Virgo.

"Great."

After reading the telegram, the director slammed the table happily. He had no way to report it before, but with this telegram, he could immediately report the details to the old man.

Being able to obtain detailed intelligence on Japan at the first time will definitely highlight the capabilities of their Military Intelligence Department.

Never mind where this information came from.

"Prepare the car and go to the camp immediately."

This is important news. The old man must have known that there are many Chinese in Japan, especially diplomats.

But what they get may not be as detailed as theirs.

Japan is now in a state of blockade, and it is estimated that only a foreigner like Mr. Chen, who has many connections in Japan, can ask such detailed questions.

The information Xu Qingyun obtained was indeed sent to him by Mr. Chen.

The main reason is that what happened today was predicted by Xu Qingyun more than a month ago. Mr. Chen specifically passed on the details and informed Chen Changcun that he would arrive in Wuhan soon and asked him to help with the reception.

Reception is fake, communication is real.

Mr. Chen wanted to know Xu Qingyun's opinion on this matter and the subsequent impact. Most importantly, if Japan invaded again, when would it be, on what scale, etc.

As a Chinese, he couldn't bear to watch his motherland suffer.

If we can make some arrangements in advance, it can help at least some people.

At the camp, the old man did receive the report. At this time, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were busy and kept asking questions.

They want to know what the situation is like in Japan.

"Chairman, Dai Yunong wants to see you. He said he has the latest intelligence from Japan."

The head attendant came over and whispered. The old man was slightly startled and immediately replied, "Let him come over."

I didn’t expect the Military Intelligence Department to receive the news so quickly. Dai Yunong did a good job.

"Principal, there has been a coup in Japan and it is still in chaos. We have received the information conveyed by Mr. Chen. Please take a look first."

After Dai Yunong came in, she immediately presented the telegram sent by Xu Qingyun.

He couldn't hide the source of the information, nor was there any need to hide it. It was just a good opportunity to let the old man know that Mr. Chen was different from them. Old Ghost Xu was relying on the support of the two Chens, and there was also a very powerful Mr. Chen behind them.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

The old man took the telegram, read it carefully, and was slightly stunned after reading it.

The Military Intelligence Department actually already knew something that he hadn't even found out yet?
At this time, he only knew that an important naval minister had been killed, the prime minister had been assassinated and his life and death were unknown, and the General Staff and the Metropolitan Police Department were under control. The specific list and situation were not as detailed as Xu Qingyun's report.

After reading it again and noticing that it was Mr. Chen who conveyed it, the old man no longer had any doubts.

Mr. Chen has considerable influence and has many connections in Japan. There are some things that cannot be found out from his official contacts, but Mr. Chen's friends can.

It's not something glorious, and the Japanese side will definitely conceal it, especially from them.

"You have done a great job. This intelligence is very timely and important. Tell Xu Qingyun to continue to pay attention to the situation in Japan and report any latest intelligence immediately." After reading it twice, the old man said softly. The director was very happy. It seemed that this intelligence was more detailed than what the old man had obtained.

"Yes, the student will arrange it right away."

Leaving the camp, the director still had a smile on his face. The old man attached great importance to the situation in Japan. If serious civil unrest really occurred in Japan, they would have no time to do anything to China.

The order soon arrived at Wuhan Station. Xu Qingyun took a look at it and then put it aside.

Xu Qingyun knew very well what the old men wanted.

Unfortunately, their wishful thinking did not work.

Although they were rebelling, they were still fighting in the name of the emperor, which shows that the emperor's prestige in the army was still extremely high.

This kind of rebellion will soon be quelled.

Future history cannot be changed.

Time passed slowly, and on the 29th, Mr. Chen sent another telegram.

The Japanese coup has been suppressed. These young officers were not well prepared and their numbers were too small. They could not withstand the suppression from other armies. Many of the leaders have been taken away and it is said that they will be severely punished.

Mr. Chen is not clear about the specific results.

However, this is the same as what Xu Qingyun said before. When Mr. Chen sent a telegram last time, he asked Xu Qingyun what the outcome of this Japanese rebellion would be?
Xu Qingyun’s reply to him was that it couldn’t be accomplished.

Too many young officers had ideals, and they killed so many important officials, which angered the emperor. The Imperial Way Faction was not yet strong enough to dominate the whole of Japan, and there were many opponents of them in the army, so they were doomed to fail.

And it won’t be long before it fails.

Just as Xu Qingyun said, from the 26th to the 29th, it was only four days.

Japan has quelled the rebellion and will have stricter management of its military in the future. Mr. Chen asked again, with this precedent, will there be more cases of insubordination in the Japanese military?
Xu Qingyun's reply to him was that it was bound to happen, and the two were not the same thing. There were many paranoid people in the Japanese army, and as long as they believed that what they were doing was right, they would definitely do it, especially some crazy people who wanted to become famous and gain power.

Mr. Chen read the telegram three times and finally put it in the safe.

Nanjing, the old man was very disappointed.

This incident in Japan was too short and did not have much impact on them. Only a few old guys were killed and even the prime minister escaped.

As soon as they died, new people came to replace them, and there was no impact on the overall situation.

It's a pity for those Japanese officers, but no matter what, the unrest in Japan has affected the morale of many soldiers.

The old man always believed that they would not be able to continue to attack China in the short term.

This is a good time for his development.

Wuhan, conference room.

Yan Ming, Lu Gaowa and others are here.

By March 1st, the inspections at other stations were basically completed.

All that should be found has been found, and those that have not been found are either hidden too deeply or they are negligent in their work.

Having targeted so many people, they can no longer wait; today is the day for them to start arresting them.

This operation was arranged personally by the director. Each station had to capture people alive and pry open the mouths of Japanese spies to get more rewards.

"Yan Ming, you are the commander-in-chief of the operation, Lu Gaowa, you are the deputy commander. I have only one request for this operation, that everyone be captured alive."

Xu Qingyun is arranging the arrest mission. The people and clues were found by the intelligence team, and no one will have any objection to the intelligence team being in charge of the command.

For the action team, they have made contributions as long as they participate in arresting people.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Yan Ming and Lu Gaowa answered together that there were not many people attending the meeting, just the leaders and deputy leaders of the intelligence team, operations team, and general affairs team.

The main task of general affairs is to provide them with good service and give them whatever they need.

The Wuhan Station is now wealthy and powerful, and has a new batch of equipment and various weapons. As long as the Military Intelligence Department has them, they have them all.

"Okay, let's go. I'll wait for your victory report."

Xu Qingyun is already the stationmaster, not a particularly important person, so he will not go to the scene directly. He can just give the credit to his subordinates.

The intelligence team and the action team were already prepared and set off immediately after receiving the order.

There were three people in total. Yan Ming was personally responsible for one, Lu Gaowa led a team to capture one, and the other one was Fu Wenzhen.

Dai Jieying is a girl after all, so let her coordinate in the rear to avoid any mistakes.

Four trucks and four cars were deployed for this operation.

These cars are not all the cars at Wuhan Station. After he became rich, Xu Qingyun purchased a few more cars. Otherwise, the more money Wuhan Station had, the more likely it would attract the attention of Chu Zuo.

Now the funding they receive from above has begun to be reduced, with the reason being that they have their own businesses.

How can you ask for money from the headquarters if you don’t spend the money?

Xu Qingyun had every reason to ask for money. Wuhan station had impressive results, no worse than other stations. He had given as much as other stations, so he wanted as much as they wanted.

If we don't fight for this money, it will only be embezzled by others and will not be put to good use.

At the Security Department, Yan Ming led the team to the surveillance point.

The person he wanted to catch was He Shen, the Japanese spy who was first discovered.

"Team leader."

The people at the surveillance point stood up immediately when they saw him, and Yan Ming waved his hand: "How is the person?"

"He's inside. We've released information before that can lead him out."

Yan Ming made preparations a few days ago and asked the Security Department to announce that a batch of equipment would be sent here. The logistics team would be responsible for receiving it. The quantity of this batch of equipment was quite large, so they had to go to the warehouse to receive it.

This way, when the order is given today, He Shen will not have any doubts.

"Okay, I'll call Ban Dingbao."

The order was given by Ban Dingbao, the director of the Security Department, who ordered the head of the logistics team to make arrangements.

There won’t be many people going, but He Shen will definitely be among them.

When they get to the warehouse, Gui Tianhai will arrest people. Everything there has been completely arranged, just waiting for He Shen to go over.

Ban Dingbao hung up the phone and immediately called the logistics team leader over.

The logistics team leader was very happy to know that the equipment had arrived, but Ban Dingbao gave him another task, so he could not go in person.

In the end, He Shen and four others were sent over.

They are going to verify the number and condition of the equipment, so they don't need too many people.

After the order was issued, He Shen did not have a single doubt. He had been back at work for nearly a month and everything had been normal. He even gave rewards to those moles. The news about the equipment this time was something he had known about before. He Shen and the other three drove a car and quickly arrived at the warehouse.
