Junichiro Ikeuchi nodded slightly. He appreciated Umezumi Sakami's plan.
Paralyzing the enemy and then waiting for them to make a mistake is one of the most "simple" strategies in espionage work.
It seems a bit passive, but doing so is actually the option that will make you more invincible.
"Sakami, tell me what you think," said Junichiro Ikeuchi.
Saeki Umezumi was well prepared and started talking immediately.
Junichiro Ikeuchi listened to Umezumi Sakami's report and nodded repeatedly.
He was satisfied with the performance of Sakami Umezumi, and this was also the reason why he admired this young man, Sakami Umezumi. Sakami always thought carefully before doing things, and was very good at making plans without leaving any trace.
……
"It seems that you really believe that there are big fish among those arrested tea drinkers." Ikeuchi Junichiro said, "You seem very sure."
"I noticed it from the attitude of 'Water Wave'," said Umezumi Saegi. "I studied this 'Water Wave' carefully."
"At first I also thought that 'Shui Li Lang' didn't speak because of the so-called brotherhood."
"But later, after careful consideration, I found a clue from another angle." Saijou Umezumi said, "When Shui Lilang was being tortured, he yelled and cursed, and seemed very strong. But in fact, after the torture was over and he was escorted back to the cell, he huddled in a corner with his muscles trembling. He was afraid. He is not a strong person."
"He's not a tough guy, but he's able to hold his ground without speaking. In addition to the loyalty of a pirate, I smell something that interests me more." Saegi Umezumi said, "Through secret observation, I found that Shui Lilang is not a tough guy in the absolute sense. He gritted his teeth and held on. The so-called loyalty only played a part in his behavior. In fact, it was because he knew he couldn't speak. Once he did, he would make a big mistake."
"He was protecting someone," said Umezumi Saegi. "Mirirang knew that he let the cat out of the bag and attracted our interrogation. He knew that he had harmed that person. In order to avoid causing further disaster, Miurirang held on and withstood the torture. There was a spirit that supported him."
……
"So, you suspect that there is an important person among the arrested tea drinkers?" asked Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"Yes, Commander." Saejo Umezumi said, "Although no suspicious targets have been found after the interrogation and screening in the past few days, I am confident about this."
"Since the matter is entrusted to you, I naturally believe in your ability." Ikeuchi Junichiro smiled and said, "Go ahead and do it. I'll wait for your good news."
"Haha." Umezuzu Sae said happily.
The Commander has always admired him and trusted him very much. He is willing to give him opportunities to grow and most importantly, he is willing to give him room to make mistakes and let him do things boldly.
This is also what Umezumi Saejo is most grateful to Junichiro Ikeuchi for.
……
Military Control Commission Shanghai District.
"What do you think about this secret message from Boss Dai?" Chen Gongshu asked Fu Liao.
"It is understandable that Boss Dai is concerned about the riots on the anniversary of the July 7 Incident." Fu Liao said, "If we can make another big move in Shanghai, it will be a great victory for our Military Control Commission, especially our Shanghai District, to boost the morale and the hearts of the army and the people. It will also look much better on Boss Dai in front of the chairman."
"This time, our Shanghai District will have a major operation to show the people of the whole country the anti-Japanese achievements of our Military Control Commission!" said Fu Liao.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Chen Gongshu shook his head and said, "You don't know Boss Dai. On the surface, his telegram is about his concern for the actions on the anniversary of the July 7 Incident, but it's actually about the last sentence."
As he spoke, Chen Gongshu flicked the telegram with his fingers, "Boss Dai asked if there were any unusual situations here..."
“That’s the point,” he said.
……
"District Chief, I don't quite understand." Fu Liao said.
"This shows that Boss Dai, who is far away in Chongqing, is actually worried about what might happen to us." Chen Gongshu said, "Perhaps for some reason, or perhaps just to maintain the face of our Shanghai region, Boss Dai did not say it directly."
"I understand." Fu Liao nodded thoughtfully.
Suddenly, a look of shock appeared in his eyes. "Chief District, are you saying that Boss Dai is asking about the disappearance of Chief Cen?"
"Our Shanghai District has been making a lot of progress recently, and there are no problems or hidden dangers." Chen Gongshu said thoughtfully, "The only problem now is that Secretary Cen is missing."
"No matter how you look at it, Cen Yufeng's disappearance is the top priority for our Shanghai District." Chen Gongshu said, "I guess Chongqing must have heard some rumors, but they are not sure, so they are asking in such a vague way."
"Then according to your opinion, how should we call Mr. Dai back?" Fu Liao asked.
"Call back truthfully." Chen Gongshu said.
He glanced at it and said, "You can call Chongqing yourself."
Fu Liao was not only the assistant secretary of the Shanghai district, but he was also proficient in telecommunications and was an expert in telegraphs.
The most confidential telegrams in the Shanghai area do not necessarily go through the Telecommunications Department, but are more often sent out by Fu Liao himself.
"I understand." Fu Liao said.
……
"Chief, we've got a reply from the Shanghai district." Qi Wu presented the telegram he had just received to Dai Chunfeng.
"Damn it!" Dai Chunfeng was so angry when he saw the telegram that he cursed like a leader, "What is Chen Gongshu going to do?"
Qi Wu glanced at Dai Chunfeng and then lowered his eyelids.
After receiving the telegram and translating the text, Qi Wu knew that Dai Chunfeng would be angry.
This was because the call back from the Shanghai District proudly enumerated the Shanghai District's recent operational achievements, saying that everything was normal in the Shanghai District and all the comrades were iron-willed men. As long as Boss Dai gave the order, the Shanghai District would sweep through Shanghai and make the Japanese puppet regime tremble with fear.
Only in the last sentence did the telegram mention that due to the recent intensive operations and dispersed personnel, most of the staff of the headquarters were away and could not be contacted for the time being. The follow-up situation would be reported to Chongqing after contact was established.
Therefore, this telegram from Chen Gongshu seemed to be a reply to Chongqing's inquiry, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to say nothing.
Among them, Dai Chunfeng was most concerned about Cen Yufeng's situation, but the Shanghai district blurred it with a Spring and Autumn style of writing.
……
"Perhaps District Chief Chen really didn't find anything unusual." Qi Wu said, "Just as District Chief Chen said, the various units are scattered and hiding, and some of them can't be contacted for a while, so they can't report the situation in time."
"No, I always feel that there is something wrong." Dai Chunfeng shook his head, his expression gloomy, and said, "I suspect that something happened to Cen Yufeng."
"It shouldn't be." Qi Wu said immediately, "If Cen Yufeng really got into trouble, District Chief Chen would definitely not dare to hide it. He would definitely report the matter in this secret telegram."
He thought, "The most likely possibility is that Cen Yufeng may not be contacted for the time being, and it is impossible to investigate what happened. Chen Gongshu is worried that the director will hold him accountable, so he temporarily dealt with it in the Spring and Autumn style."
"Deal with it?" Dai Chunfeng was suddenly furious. "Can you deal with it as a spy? One sentence, one word, or even a wrong expression could lead to your death. And you still want to deal with it? If something really happens, you can deal with it in front of the King of Hell!"
……
"Then I'll call the Shanghai area..." Qi Wu hesitated for a moment, then asked after thinking for a while.
"No need to beat around the bush. Ask Chen Gongshu about Cen Yufeng's situation." Dai Chunfeng said.
"I understand." Qi Wu nodded and said.
"Let Chen Gongshu call back immediately." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly and said.
"Yes." Qi Wu said, "The director is more thoughtful and should have asked directly."
"There's no such thing as being thorough or incomplete." Dai Chunfeng shook his head and said seriously, "It's just a matter of trying hard to hold on."
He shook his head slightly and said, "These people below are naturally working hard on the front line. They are all risking their lives to do things for the party and the country. It's not easy."
After listening to Dai Chunfeng's words, Qi Wu's intuition told him that Dai Chunfeng had only said half of what he meant, and the other half was left unsaid.
He thought about it carefully, and his heart was moved:
After Dai Chunfeng seemed to have calmed down, his attitude towards the Shanghai district also softened. He was no longer angry and critical of Chen Gongshu. Everything seemed to be calm. However, Qi Wu, who was familiar with Dai Chunfeng, felt that Dai Chunfeng's dissatisfaction with Chen Gongshu was actually becoming more and more intense.
This is exactly what he expected.
……
Qi Wu personally drafted the telegram to inquire about the Shanghai District and Chen Gongshu.
Soon, the call came back from the Shanghai area.
"Look, this is called being able to talk." Dai Chunfeng raised the telegram in his hand, showing an unfathomable smile and said.
In the telegram, Chen Gongshu reported to him that the Third Action Brigade in Zhabei had just contacted the district headquarters and reported to the district headquarters that they could not contact Cen Yufeng.
Afterwards, Chen Gongshu ordered a search for Cen Yufeng's whereabouts. At the same time, Chen Gongshu was highly vigilant about Cen Yufeng's disappearance. He immediately ordered the district office and relevant departments and units to immediately implement the evacuation and concealment plan.
It is no wonder that Dai Chunfeng sarcastically said that Chen Gongshu was good at talking. With this telegram, "Chen Gongshu discovered the problem in time" and was able to complete the emergency evacuation of the Shanghai area as soon as possible. This was not easy, and it was enough to illustrate Chen Gongshu's decisive response, as well as Chen Gongshu's good control over the entire Shanghai area and the quick response of the brothers in the Shanghai area.
In a word, it should be praised!
……
"Now, it has been confirmed that Cen Yufeng is missing." Dai Chunfeng said, "Combined with the previous intelligence, it is highly suspected that Cen Yufeng is among the tea drinkers arrested by the Japanese military police."
"Now it depends on whether he was arrested accidentally or the enemy was targeting him." Dai Chunfeng came to the wall, pulled open the curtain, and fell into deep thought as he looked at the map of Shanghai hanging on the wall.
"This matter is urgent." Qi Wu thought and said, "Director, should we contact Blue Bird urgently and ask Blue Bird to find a way to figure out the situation?"
Dai Chunfeng was silent.
Qi Wu did not urge him.
Calling Bluebird again at this time and asking Cheng Qianfan to investigate the matter was different from the previous time when Dai Chunfeng asked Cheng Qianfan to investigate. That time it was an ordinary task tone, but this time it was an emergency order. Although it had not reached the point of "at all costs", it was still an urgent and unquestionable order.
This urgent command poses certain security risks to Bluebird.
For the safety of the Shanghai area, is it worth using "Blue Bird" and even putting "Blue Bird" in a possible critical situation?
Only Dai Chunfeng can make this answer and decision.
……
"Call Bluebird." Dai Chunfeng thought for a moment and said with determination, "I want to know Cen Yufeng's current situation."
Although he also knew that there might be certain dangers, both the Shanghai Special Affairs Office and the Shanghai District were the two lines that Dai Chunfeng had laid out in Shanghai, and neither was dispensable.
"I understand." Qi Wu said quickly.
"Tell Bluebird to be careful." Dai Chunfeng paused and said with a serious expression.
"Yes." Qi Wu nodded and said.
The director treated that young fellow villager and junior fellow student differently from other people.
……
The entire French Concession, or rather, the entire Shanghai, has been somewhat restless these days.
The media are reporting on the war in Europe.
The focus of the report was obviously the German blitzkrieg on Soviet Russia.
The sudden outbreak of war shocked many people.
The subsequent progress of the war can be described as "even more jaw-dropping".
According to reports from German newspapers in the concession.
On the first day, the German army destroyed about 1,500 aircraft of the Soviet Western Military District, accounting for nearly 80% of the total number of aircraft in the Soviet Western Military District.
According to German newspapers, most of the Soviet planes were destroyed at the airport before they took off.
This shows that the Soviet military was completely unprepared for the sudden German attack and was caught off guard.
The air force of the Soviet Western Military District was paralyzed, and the Germans, who had gained air superiority, advanced all the way and were invincible.
Almost every day there were reports that a Soviet army, a regiment, a brigade, a division, or even an army-level unit was divided and surrounded by the Germans, annihilated, or chose to surrender.
……
"In the final analysis, the Soviet leader firmly believed in the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact and believed that the German army would not fight on two fronts," said Imamura Heitaro. "Or, perhaps he also believed that even if a war broke out between the Soviet Union and Germany, it would not be the Germans who took the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, but the Soviet army that should take the initiative to attack the Germans."
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "Teacher, that's the truth, but there is a big doubt that I still don't quite understand."
"You say." said Imamura Heitaro.
"Even though the Soviets were caught off guard by the Germans, their performance in the past few days after the outbreak of the war is still shocking," Cheng Qianfan said. "Their performance can be simply described as weak."
"Faced with the Germans' iron hoof, the Soviets could almost be described as fleeing in panic and surrendering one after another," said Cheng Qianfan.
He snorted coldly, "Soviet Russia——"
"——Strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"
