My own war game

Chapter 272 You are not alone
Different people may have completely different interpretations of the same sentence, especially when the information between the two parties is unequal.

He Chi didn't know that his casual remark not only dealt a heavy blow to Iikuni Kojiro, but also led to a major reshuffle of the middle-level officers of the New Japan National Army. At this time, he was only concerned about the current situation in London.

"To answer your question, sir, there were indeed some anomalies in the Free France's intelligence system before. Core personnel were frequently transferred, and the top brass at the headquarters had not met for many days." Kojiro answered respectfully.

"Where's Chief Intelligence Officer Christine? Any recent news about her?"

At this time, Iikuni Kojiro answered with some embarrassment, "Sir, we are under the jurisdiction of the Allied Command. Unless it is specifically reported to us, we have no official channel to obtain such information normally, but..."

"But what?"

Kojiro said carefully, "However, the informant we just planted in Europe did hear some rumors. It is said that the German secret police carried out several large-scale arrests in northern France, and the people involved seemed to be high-level officials of Free France..."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jilang's eyes blurred and He Chi disappeared outside the door. A voice came from a distance.

"Watch this line, I'll come back for you."

At MI6 headquarters, in the minister's office, Menzies gave He Chi a warm hug and asked him to sit down.

"He, you are finally back. You should know that your performance reports in recent years have caused a lot of trouble for the Secretariat,"

"You have three years' salary deposited here, which is a lot of money."

"And do you want to go to General Montgomery and Windsor Castle..."

Menzies began to talk too much, so He Chi had to interrupt him. "Excuse me, sir, I have to interrupt for a moment. Do you know where Ms. Christine is now?"

The room suddenly became silent. Menzies coughed lightly and said carefully, "It seems that you already know that Ms. Christine has lost contact with us in northern France. The initial feedback is that she has been arrested by the Gestapo and is being held somewhere in Paris."

Then Menzies said, "I know you have a close relationship, but please calm down..."

"What is the rescue plan? When will it start?" He Chi interrupted the other party directly.

There was another short silence, and Menzies opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "You know, Operation Overlord will begin next month, and the Allies will conduct a key landing operation in southern France. All intelligence officers who know about Operation Overlord are not allowed to participate in other intelligence activities to avoid leaks."

"so what?"

"Therefore, we will not arrange any rescue plan that may cause risks before the Allied landing." Menzies said in a tone as calm as possible.

He Chi tried hard to control his emotions. "What is the attitude of the Free French government?"

After Menzies finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly and said, "He, I am sorry, but this is also what Mr. de Gaulle meant."

There was silence. The two men stood face to face in silence for a full minute, then He Chi turned around and prepared to leave.

"He, where are you going?" Menzies asked from behind.

"I'm going to France." He Chi said without turning his head.

Bang! The door to the corridor was closed, and a guard blocked the way outside.

Menzies said at the door, "If you want to rescue them yourself, I advise you to give up. You have also come into contact with the core of the Allied landing plan. As a member of the Sixth Division, I have to forbid you to leave the UK at this time." He Chi slowly turned around, looked at Menzies, then took out his pistol and flipped the safety. "I don't want to use weapons on my own people on the first day back, especially you, sir."

The atmosphere at the scene was tense, and it seemed that a conflict would break out in the next second. Finally, Menzies sighed and waved away the guards. "I am speaking as a friend, not as a superior."

"He, rescue is a mission that requires the cooperation of many parties. Maybe you have created all kinds of miracles before, but rescuing Christine under this circumstance is definitely not a rational choice. I hope you can reconsider it."

"I will remember your advice." He Chi nodded, turned and walked out the door.

That night, Jima returned to her room from outside. The recent news about the Normandy Operation had put a lot of pressure on her and her team of intelligence agents, and their shoulders had been sore for several days.

The girl took off her coat and wanted to take a shower in the bathroom, but when she walked into the room wearing only her underwear, she found someone was already inside.

Jima immediately wanted to grab the pistol beside her, but the other party was faster and held her hand down. In desperation, the British girl bit down...

A few minutes later, Jima, who had changed her clothes, appeared in front of He Chi and bent down to complain to him, "That's too much, sir. Even if I have a crush on you, I should have started with a date and done it step by step. A night raid is really..."

"Sorry, Menzies and I had some unpleasantness, so it's not appropriate for me to come and see you openly." He Chi explained, rubbing the teeth marks on his wrist.

"You and the Minister are having a disagreement...did I hear that correctly?"

"I'm sorry, that's the truth." He Chi briefly recounted Christine's story to Jima. "So Jima, I need your help."

The girl looked at He Chi, sniffed and said, "Honestly speaking, as an intelligence officer of the Sixth Bureau, I should reject you. But as a woman, I am even a little jealous of Ms. Christine."

Finally, Jima bit her lip and made up her mind, "At worst, I'll be fired. I'll work with you! Is there anything I can do?"

"Well, do you remember the two companions we worked with in Copenhagen?"

"Demolition expert Cabrera and playboy Benjamin?" Jima immediately followed up.

"Here is a way to contact them. Use your communication channels to find them within half a month and tell them that I need them to repay a favor." He Chi handed over two notes.

Jima's eyes lit up. "Anything else?"

He Chi took out a quick-writing pen and wrote down a code book. "This is the code for a Dutch resistance organization. Send it by telegram to a Mr. Rodman and tell him that an old friend wants to visit him."

Jima's face began to show surprise, and then asked, "Anything else?"

"Contact the Allied Command and find Mr. Kennedy, the former ambassador to the UK, and tell him that I will not bother about his son's matter if you just do me a favor."

Jima's mouth had turned into an "O" shape at this time, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Anything else?"

He Chi thought for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote a letter in Russian, stuffed it into Jima's hand and added, "Go find Borkhayev, the military attaché of the Soviet Union's office in the UK, and tell him to pass this letter to Comrade Beria. He will know what to do."

At this time, Jima was speechless, and the expression on his face was a bit like a frog with its mouth open on a lotus leaf.

A week later, German eavesdropping agencies suddenly discovered that various encrypted telegrams were frequently exchanged in the Netherlands. Cryptography experts analyzed that at least four or five countries were involved.

At the same time, a group of Japanese businessmen began to become active in the German-occupied areas.
