Chapter 1161: Microfiche
Ning Zhiheng's words made Shen Xiang stunned, to be honest, although he knew some about some of the microfilm, he didn't know much about it, and now he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the command.
Ning Zhiheng naturally has his own considerations, in fact, the moment he received the news, he had already made a judgment, as far as he knew, the technical data of the G-type engine and aviation torpedo can be said to be long and exhaustive, and there are many drawings and data, if it is really to use paper to record and carry out ocean transportation, it is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, he believes that the German side must have adopted the microfilm technology most commonly used by the international intelligence community at present, and photographed all the materials into small films, which is the safest and safest method.
This kind of microfilming, in fact, is not a new technology, it has been used since the last century, and in 1853, Britain was able to reduce the entire "Times" to a sixth-centimeter diameter of a piece of film.
During the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the French began to put this technology to military use, shrinking hundreds of thousands of classified documents and instructions into tiny films for transportation.
More than 80 years later, microfilming technology has come a long way, and there have been great improvements in terms of storage capacity and stability.
This technology has been popularized in many fields, especially in the storage of data, the advantages of microfilm technology are fully revealed, not only can the vast amount of information be reduced to a stamp-sized film, and the microfilm also has good stability, should not be damaged, storage security is strong, especially for the original has a strong fidelity.
Now the most technologically advanced countries in the West are also using this technology, such as some large banks and libraries, as well as newspapers and other units are using it to store information, that is, now, the British are afraid that the German bombing will damage the precious collection of books in the British Museum, so they use this technology to photograph the entire museum books, and the military intelligence department naturally sees the benefits, so it is widely used in intelligence espionage warfare.
However, this technology also has certain limitations, microfilm not only requires high-resolution, high-resolution technical equipment for shooting, and even for reading, it also requires special instruments, such as special slide projectors, projection equipment, etc., and even copy equipment is extremely rare.
However, because China is relatively backward in science and technology, it has not had any contact with microfilm technology.
It is said that a year before the Battle of Songhu, the United States had funded a set of microfilming equipment in the Beiping Library, but it was taken away by the Japanese military after the war.
As far as Ning Zhiheng knows, it was at the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau that he had recently purchased a set of microfilming equipment and reading equipment from the United States, as well as special copy equipment, and as for other secret departments, it seems that they were not equipped at all.
Even in Shanghai, Ning Zhiheng had never heard of such high-level equipment, and it was estimated that even if there was, it would definitely be in the hands of the Japanese intelligence department.
Hong Kong, an international port city occupied by the British, is likely to have such facilities.
Ning Zhiheng knew that even if he could seize the microfilm of the drawings, he would need to find such supporting microfilm equipment, especially a copy machine, to copy a film so that it could be handed over to the Military Command Bureau and the underground party organization respectively, so he asked Shen Xiang to investigate and see if he could find such professional equipment in Hong Kong.
Ning Zhiheng then instructed: "You have to focus on going to banks, libraries, newspapers, and even film companies to find out, and give me news as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, I'll investigate right away and report back to you as soon as possible!" Shen Xiang hurriedly nodded and took the order.
At night, two young men were walking out of a tenement building near the Hong Kong Ferry Pier.
One of the men walked in front, slightly taller, thin, with an ordinary face, wearing a suit, but the placket was open, looking nondescript, at this time he spat fiercely in his mouth, and scolded loudly: "Rotten ghost Dong, this guy is really not a thing, a little broken account is chased behind his ass every day, and it's not that he doesn't give it to him, who does he show with a grimace?" Phew..."
There was another man behind him, shorter, but with broad shoulders and thick back, he looked quite strong, and his facial features were more upright, he squinted at his companion and persuaded: "Feizai, these days, we have a bad luck, don't go to the gambling stall of the rotten ghost east, I listen to his words today as if he is going to come to the real thing, I don't know if he will deal with you, you be careful." ”
Fei Zai pursed his mouth and said disapprerovingly: "Ah Ren, don't worry, we are not without a hall, he has to give Brother Bing some face, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, go, it's still early, let's find a place to have a supper, drink two sips and then go back!" ”
The two of them walked together, intending to find a place to have a few glasses of wine, but they didn't go far when two figures flashed in front of them, and one of them said, "Feizai, Ah Ren, Brother Bing wants to see you!" ”
The two of them glanced at each other, this was the boss of their own hall who sent someone to find him, he didn't dare to slack off, he quickly nodded and agreed, and followed the person all the way, and after a while, they came to a compound.
This is the residence of Brother Bing, the boss of "Heshengtang", Heshengtang is a local gang in Hong Kong, the main members are dock workers and nearby market gangs, the strength is relatively not weak, Fei Tsai and Ah Ren are members of Heshengtang.
A few people came to the hall, Brother Bing had been waiting here for a long time, watching the two people come in, frowning, and asked directly: "Feizai, you have been at ease these days, when will that batch of goods be handed over to me?" ”
Fei Zai hurriedly explained: "Boss, the goods are all pressed in the bottom warehouse, and now the ship is detained by the British, everyone has been driven down, we can't go back at all, and after a while, the wind has passed, and we can go back to pick up the goods." ”
It turns out that Fei Tsai and Ah Ren are also crew members on the Notting passenger ship, although the Notting passenger ship is a passenger ship of the French shipping company, but it has been running Asian routes for many years, and there are many Asians in passengers, because of language and various reasons, so some Asian crew members have also been recruited, and most of the crew members on the Notting passenger ship are French, and some are hired Singaporeans and Hong Kongers.
Fei Tsai and Ah Ren are among the small crew members, who are responsible for receiving guests, and the crew is a high-risk and high-income industry, in addition to having a good salary, mainly because of the profession, they can carry smuggled goods at work to make a profit, this situation is already the norm, whether it is European or Asian crews, most of their income comes from this.
Fei Tsai and Ah Ren are no exception, every time they go back and forth to various places, they will carry some smuggled goods with relatively high value, this time back to Hong Kong is the same, they brought back a lot of precious medicines and precious perfumes from Europe, but they did not expect that as soon as the Nordin arrived in Hong Kong, it was seized by the British garrison, and even people were driven off the ship.
This time they were blind, they had no choice but to wait, but most of the goods transported were invested by Brother Bing, and they were only responsible for transportation, so it was Brother Bing who was most anxious, so the two of them were called to inquire about the situation.
Brother Bing heard Feizai's explanation, and didn't ask about the cargo again, he waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the cargo first, let me ask you, what happened on the Notin passenger ship?" I heard that there are still dead people, and the movement is not small, so you can tell me carefully. ”
Originally, I asked about this, Fei Tsai and Ah Ren glanced at each other, Fei Tsai immediately cheered up, with a pretended mysterious expression on his face, and said: "Boss, you also know about this, then I'll tell you about it, this is the case, just when the ship was about to arrive at the port, several Japanese suddenly found their companions dead in the room........."
Fei Tsai and Ah Ren were both waiters who were present at the time, and they knew the situation very well, and quickly recounted it, and Fei Tsai finally said: "In this way, the captain used the radio to call the police, and as soon as he entered the port, someone got on the ship, but it was not the police, but the British garrison, and as a result, the Japanese were taken away, and we were also driven off the ship with the passengers, and the ship was impounded in the dock, and then there were always British guards, and we have not gone back until now." ”
Brother Bing didn't make a sound, but listened carefully to Feizai's narration, and asked for a long time, "Who do you think killed this person?" ”
Feizai shook his head and said: "It's not clear, this Japanese name is Yanagawa, and soon after getting on the boat, he got very close to a foreign woman, and the two of them are often together, but she didn't show up when the accident happened, and then the garrison got on the boat, and she came forward, I think nine times out of ten it has something to do with this foreign woman." ”
At this time, Ah Ren on the side also spoke: "When I first got on the boat, this woman was still alone, but then once, I found that she and a white man secretly met, and after a few words, they hurriedly separated, and I felt that something was wrong, and then as soon as the matter came out, she stood up, and the captain and those garrisons still obeyed her command, boss, I guess she did it!" ”
But their words did not satisfy Brother Bing, and he continued to ask, "Apart from her, there are no other suspicious people?" ”
Hearing this, Fei Tsai and Ah Ren couldn't help but look at Brother Bing suspiciously, and shook their heads.
Brother Bing no longer plays dumb riddles, he needs these two people to inquire about the news, and he must give them some answers.
"That's the case, this Japanese named Yanagawa brought a very important thing on his body, but as soon as the person died, the thing was gone, as for the specific good thing, I don't know, the foreign girl you are talking about should be British, but now the British have made such a big move, if you want me to say, it may not be they who did it, in short, this thing is very valuable, even Mr. Yue also sent a message, if he can find this thing, he is willing to pay a lot of money.
So, when you go back, think about it, and remember the situation on the ship, and see what other clues there are, such as any suspicious passengers, or the crew around you, in short, if we can find this thing, we will make a fortune, all snacks, and let me know if there is news! ”
"Yes, yes!"
"Got it, Boss!"
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly nodded in agreement.
