At a time when Japan is planning to strengthen intelligence gathering on the East China Government, the intelligence department of the East China Government is also doing the work of summing up.

At present, all the departments of the East China government have their own office buildings in the administrative region, but only two departments are exceptional, only one office is set up in the administrative building to deal with the affairs related to the Executive Yuan, and outside the administrative region, there is another office location, one of these two departments is the Military Commission, and the other is the Ministry of Security, because the situation of these two departments is relatively special.

Of course, the main office of the Central Military Commission is located in the training base in the performance area, which is a vast area, but the office building of the Ministry of Security is located in an inconspicuous new three-story brick and concrete building in the northeastern district of Qingdao, and the house number is not very conspicuous; if it were not for the guards guarding the door, I am afraid that no one would know that this is a government department office building.

It has been more than three years since the East China Government took over Qingdao, and the urban area has expanded by more than three times, and the population has increased by more than four or five times, and the population with Qingdao household registration has exceeded 400,000, and there are about 150,000 permanent residents, most of whom are family members of officials and soldiers, and there are more than 100,000 floating populations. The office building of the Ministry of Security is located in a newly built urban area, surrounded by one-color brick and concrete houses, and the location is relatively remote, which really does not attract attention.

There are also many legends about the Ministry of Security in the government, some say that in fact, the houses near the office building of the Ministry of Security are the property of the Ministry of Security, and the underground are connected by tunnels, extending in all directions, and there are more than a dozen exits alone, and there is a legend that the office building here is just a disguise, in fact, the real location of the Ministry of Security is somewhere else, of course, the situation of the Ministry of Security, except for a few people in the Executive Yuan, no one else knows.

In fact, this inconspicuous small building is the official location of the Ministry of Security, where the main leaders and managers of the Ministry of Security work. At this time, the main leadership members of the Ministry of Security were holding a meeting in the conference room on the third floor.

Cheng Ying, secretary of the Foreign Secret, said: "According to our surveillance, it can be confirmed that five of the six suspected targets are confirmed to be Japanese intelligence bases in Qingdao, and three of them have already been confirmed by us. The other two were only after the incident of Operation Fisherman, and we were able to determine that if it were not for Operation Fisherman, it is estimated that these two intelligence points are still lurking, but there is still a suspected target that has not responded this time, so we cannot be sure. ”

Shang Qisong nodded and said, "Being able to identify two intelligence points is already quite a big gain, and it also shows that this time." Operation Yellow Bird was a success, and the level of surveillance of these two intelligence points was raised by one level, but they should not be allowed to perceive any changes, and the other one, although it is not yet certain, cannot rule out suspicion, and does not rule out the possibility that it is still lurking, so the surveillance remains unchanged, and the three intelligence points that have been exposed should be arrested, otherwise such a big thing happens, we have not made a little move, and it will definitely make the Japanese suspicious. ”

Li Xiangzhou, chief of the secret service department, said: "Why don't you also end the two confirmed intelligence points, and continue to monitor what they are doing? ”

Shang Qisong shook his head and said, "No, now is not the time to arrest them." Operation Yellow Sparrow is just a test to arrest the three bases that have already been identified, just to reassure the Japanese and make them think that their two dark spots have not yet been exposed, because even if we pull out all the Japanese intelligence bases, the Japanese will still send people to come again, and we have to reconfirm, unless we completely turn our face with Japan, then we can use some unconventional means, but now we are still in a cooperative relationship with Japan, and we can't go too far, so it is better to keep them and better monitor them; in addition, arresting them now will also surprise the snake and sabotage the government's big plan, so we will have to monitor them for a while, one day they will be uprooted. Let's destroy the 3 intelligence points that have been exposed first, and we can save a lot of manpower. ”

Li Xiangzhou said: "That's right, okay, you can only endure it for a while." ”

Shang Qisong said: "Okay, I will compile a copy of the relevant materials of this 'Yellow Bird Operation', and I will send it to the Executive Yuan." ”

After more than three years of development, the current Ministry of Security has developed into a very large organization, with more than 200 fixed staff, more than 300 personnel on assignment, operation, and official business, and a complete set of departments, a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, and more than 600 peripheral personnel, and this is not counting informants, secret lines and other informal personnel.

Now the Ministry of Security has set up a strict security network in the whole province of Shandong, and in the past three years or so, it has cracked more than 20 security incidents against the East China Government, including the Qing court's chief envoy, although the Qing court has basically given up control of Shandong, but it has not completely given up on the East China government, Bi Jing is now the Qing court's henchmen, and it is always necessary to find out the East China government's plan to act, so it has sent a lot of intelligence personnel to Shandong to collect information on the East China government, and of course it has also engaged in some sabotage activities, and it has no intention of relying on these activities to subvert the East China government, but it has finally breathed a sigh of relief。

However, the Qing court did not have a perfect intelligence system, so the ability and professional level of the intelligence personnel sent to Shandong were too poor, and it generally took not long to be exposed when they arrived in Shandong. In the end, the Ministry of Security arrested a lot, but the Qing court was one after another, caught a batch and sent a batch, just like cutting leeks, the Ministry of Security has arrested more than 200 spies of the Qing court, and later the Ministry of Security also got angry, as long as it does not engage in sabotage in Shandong, it will no longer be arrested, but monitored, so that it will save more trouble.

Of course, in addition to the spy personnel in the Qing court, all countries have also sent intelligence personnel to the East China government, but the intelligence personnel of various countries basically only collect intelligence, and have not engaged in any sabotage operations, after all, this kind of activity is not of great significance, so as long as they do not go too far, the Ministry of Security only monitors them, and does not arrest them. Among the spies in various countries, Japan is the majority, accounting for more than 70 percent, and it is also the most active in collecting intelligence, and many of its actions have exceeded the bottom line of the East China government.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Japanese and Chinese are close to each other ethnically and culturally similar, so it is much more convenient than other countries to carry out intelligence operations, and Japan has to reproduce intelligence work against China far more than other countries, and the intelligence penetration of China is extremely serious. However, unlike the Qing court, the East China government had extremely strict security precautions and arrested many Japanese spies, of course, these were carried out in secret, and neither government made it public.

Later, Japan also realized that the East China Government was different from the Qing court, and that its intelligence operations had also been much more restrained, and it did not dare to make it too obvious, but was much more secretive, and it also strengthened its anti-reconnaissance operations, using more bases, each of which was not interconnected, and was under the direct command of the main station, and even did not hesitate to expose a few strongholds, and would be abandoned to confuse the East China Government's sight, which also caused considerable difficulties to the work of the Ministry of Security, because a large number of suspected intelligence bases appeared, and they could not be directly arrested and interrogated, and they needed long-term monitoring and evidence collection to be able to determine.

The "Operation Fisherman" formulated by the Admiralty was fully utilized by the Ministry of Security, so it also formulated a plan for "Operation Yellow Sparrow," intending to use this operation to find out Japan's intelligence base in Qingdao.

Since the fisherman's action was indeed very sudden, and the Admiralty also made an impromptu move, there was only one day before and after, and the Japanese main station in Qingdao was naturally unaware, so it was only discovered after the fleet of the People's Army Navy was dispatched, and as a result, the Japanese main station in Qingdao was immediately blown up, and such a major matter was not at all due to faith, and this was naturally a major mistake by the intelligence personnel, and they would certainly be punished.

Of course, the punishment is still secondary, what is Guan Jian is the fleet of the People's Army Navy to do, if it is unfavorable to Japan and causes heavy losses to Japan, then the intelligence personnel in Qingdao can only commit suicide by disembowelment to apologize, so they also urgently make up for it, let each intelligence base show their abilities, and transmit the news back to China as quickly as possible.

In the midst of the panic, it is inevitable that some flaws will be exposed, not to mention that the Ministry of Security has also specially formulated the "Yellow Bird Plan" in a targeted manner, laid a strict surveillance network in telegraph offices, ports, and other places, and deliberately set up some obstacles. It turned out that Qingdao did not have a direct telegraph with Japan, and it needed to be forwarded through Tianjin or Shanghai, so the telegraph office deliberately said that the lines between Tianjin and Shanghai were out of order, which made it difficult for the Japanese intelligence personnel.

After the end of the Navy's "Operation Fisherman," the Ministry of Security smashed three intelligence points that Japan used as outcasts, making the Japanese side think that the other bases had not yet been exposed, and secretly rejoiced. In this way, the exchange between the intelligence services of the two sides also came to an end.

Of course, this "Yellow Sparrow Operation" can only be regarded as a warm-up game for the Ministry of Security, because when the East China Government officially enters the war, the Japanese intelligence personnel will certainly have another big operation, and at that time, the Ministry of Security will not allow the Japanese spies to easily send the information back, and at that time, it will have to wipe out all the Japanese intelligence networks set up in Qingdao and even in Shandong.
