Chapter 1155: All sides surge
Ning Zhiheng thought about it together, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt excited, and he asked He Siming: "Do you know the specific situation of the loss of drawings?" β
He Siming recalled it carefully, shook his head, and said: "The specific situation is not very clear, but I know that there are four intelligence officers in their group, except for Yanagawa Naoto, the other three have not had an accident, and now these three people are already returning to Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is investigating, and I will find a way to further understand the situation, however, I heard the military attachΓ©'s office mention that when the 'Nordin' passenger ship arrived in Hong Kong, the British garrison in Hong Kong behaved a little abnormally. The Japanese side believes that this incident may have been done by the British intelligence department, at least it has heard the rumors, but there is no real evidence, but now the intelligence department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has definitely begun to take action, and it is estimated that there is a storm in Hong Kong, and it is already moving. β
Briton? It is quite possible that Hong Kong is a British colony, with a home advantage, and it is certainly better informed, and it is not surprising that the British intelligence services have always been known for their ability and efficiency in the international intelligence community, and their response speed is fast enough.
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile: "This thing is interesting, the engine of the Germans is a good thing, not to mention the British, even the Americans and the Soviets are also salivating, in short, this time it is going to be lively, I want to give it a try, maybe I can get a piece of the pie." β
He Siming looked at Ning Zhiheng a little strangely, he knew that his boss had always been cautious, but this time he was obviously moved, and couldn't help but say, "Is it necessary?" Now all parties are surging, eyeing each other, if we intervene, it can be said that we are in the fire, moreover, even if we get these two drawings, it is useless, with our military level, even if there are drawings, we can't imitate them, the gains outweigh the losses, this is too risky! β
"I don't see it that way, we can't use it, but it's good to take it out to do favors, especially the British, they are now retreating to the British Isles, and the Germans across the English Channel, the contest between the two depends on the air force, their fighter performance is not as good as Germany, if they can now get the latest technology of the G engine as a reference, with their military base, they can soon develop the latest fighters to counter the attack and bombing of the British mainland by German fighters, from this point of view, it is of great significance.
Fortunately, the British government is also divided into two factions, some advocate compromise with Japan, and some are resolutely resisting Japan, and now the two sides are deadlocked.
If we give this drawing to the British, it will definitely be a very heavy bargaining chip, and if it works well, it may even be possible to solve the problem of the Yunnan-Burma highway, in short, this is a rare good opportunity. β
Ning Zhiheng is now because the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been cut off, and the intelligence department is getting stronger and stronger to transport materials, and the pressure on him is getting worse day by day, so he can't help but be in a hurry, as long as there is an opportunity now, of course, he can't let it go.
When He Siming heard this, he suddenly thought more about the problem from the height of the director, and he quickly nodded and said, "Then I will try to collect some relevant information and see if there is a chance to meddle in this matter."
Also, according to Sagawa Taro's analysis, the whereabouts of the drawings are now unknown, and no one can be sure who did it, and if such an important drawing appears in the intelligence market, it can definitely be sold at a sky-high price, and Shanghai is currently the center of China's intelligence market, and if the intelligence dealer gets this drawing, the Shanghai intelligence market is the only place where it can be sold for a large price. β
"That's what I thought too." Ning Zhiheng nodded, and walked back and forth in the room twice, "I will let out the news and buy these two drawings at a high price, hoping to gain something." β
After He Siming left, Ning Zhiheng couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately ordered Yi Huaan to inform Huo Yueze, and let Huo Yueze come to the city as soon as possible and accept his instructions in person.
In the afternoon of the same day, in a safe house in the urban area, after receiving the notice, Huo Yueze, who rushed from the concession as soon as possible, was ordered to report to Ning Zhiheng.
Seeing Huo Yueze come in, Ning Zhiheng turned around from the window and motioned for him to sit down, waiting for Huo Yueze to sit down, and then asked, "Is there any movement in the intelligence market in the past two days?" β
As soon as Huo Yueze heard Ning Zhiheng directly ask about the intelligence market, he immediately reacted, he should have intended to search for some important information, thought about it, and replied: "I haven't heard any movement yet, but there is still a gathering in two days, what kind of information do you need, I will pay attention to collecting." β
Ning Zhiheng carefully explained the matter of the G engine drawings, and finally asked: "These two drawings are very important, you can tell me, who mainly provides the information in South China?" β
"There are mainly two people, one is called Yongfeng, and the other is called Lao Kou, and the information in South China is basically provided by the two of them.
Among them, the information provided by Yongfeng is more valuable, the degree of confidentiality is also high, and the asking price is higher, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as the information of the two Guangxi regions, are basically provided by her, in short, this woman's energy is not small. β
Huo Yueze didn't introduce Lao Kou much, the quality of this Lao Kou's intelligence is relatively poor, and it is also aimed at Fujian and Jiangxi regions, according to this situation, he estimates that Lao Kou is unlikely to get the drawings.
Hearing Huo Yueze's introduction, Ning Zhiheng immediately recalled that the last time he was in the Tan Mansion, he had also seen a photo of the woman Yongfeng, a beautiful woman in her thirties, quite charming, judging from her appearance alone, no one would ever see that this was a senior intelligence dealer.
He nodded and said: "Pay more attention to these two people, especially Yongfeng, if these two drawings really fall into their hands, we must greet them in advance and tell them that as long as there are drawings, the price is negotiable, and we will buy them at a high price, which is definitely higher than other buyers."
At the same time, keep an eye on Phillips and Anderson, they should be the ones who need these two drawings the most, and if Yongfeng and others want to trade the drawings, they will probably give preference to the British or the Americans. β
The Chinese government has no demand for these two drawings because of its limited strength, and Phillips, an American diplomat, and Anderson, a British businessman, both of whom have national intelligence backgrounds behind them, are also the best buyers of these two drawings.
Huo Yueze hurriedly agreed: "I must contact these two people in advance, and send someone to follow Phillips and Anderson, as long as they have contact, they will never escape our eyes." β
Ning Zhiheng nodded, and then solemnly admonished: "Also, at present, the Japanese have also noticed this, and they also judge that the drawings may enter the intelligence market in Shanghai, so they will probe the intelligence market in many ways, you should be more careful when you contact the party during this time, don't be like last time, you don't know that you were photographed!" β
Huo Yueze was suddenly embarrassed, nodded again and again and said yes, and then, Ning Zhiheng gave some explanations about the specific details of the counterfeit banknote plan, and the two talked for a long time, and then the meeting ended.
At 0:20 a.m. that night, Ning Zhiheng, as usual, took out his radio station in his study, put on headphones, debugged the radio channel, found the wavelength familiarly, and then waited quietly.
This is what he has to do every night, to receive the radio signal of the underground party organization in Shanghai at 0:30 punctually, but after returning to Shanghai for so long, he has not received a single radio signal.
Of course, this is also what Lin Hanwen deliberately did, the importance of the shadow is self-evident, unless it is an extremely important action, he will never use this trump card easily.
But to Ning Zhiheng's surprise, when the time reached thirty minutes, a clear signal sound came from the earphones, which made his spirit tense all of a sudden, and the pencil in his hand quickly recorded the numbers on the paper, until he finished receiving it, and then took off the earphones.
This was the first time he had received the radio signal of the underground party organization, Ning Zhiheng knew that there must be something major happening, he didn't dare to slack off, he quickly took out the code book, translated it word by word, and soon a complete message was presented in front of him.
The content of this telegram made him stunned for a moment, and it was the two drawings mentioned in this telegram.
It turned out that the Red Party also knew about the sudden loss of the drawings from the Soviet intelligence department, and it was the same as Ning Zhiheng thought, although the Red Party itself could not use it, but the Soviet side was very eager to get these two drawings, especially the drawings of the G engine, so the Red Party headquarters ordered the local party organizations and intelligence departments in South and Central China to do their best to find traces of the drawings, and the Shanghai underground party organization, as the organization most likely to come into contact with the drawings, was specially requested to do its best to find it.
After Lin Hanwen received the order, he knew that the matter was very important, so he sent instructions to his intelligence officers, among which the shadow, as an ace agent, was of course the first choice, so he had this active contact.
Lin Hanwen knew that the shadow's intelligence ability was extraordinary, and no one could say to what extent it could go, but so far, the ability that the shadow had shown was enough for him to have high hopes, so in the message, he asked the shadow to do his best to find out the whereabouts of the drawings.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but exhale lightly, he didn't expect that the two drawings would be so extensive, the Japanese, the British, I'm afraid that there are still Soviets, and all aspects hidden in the shadows, all of them have tried their best, each has their own means, and participated in this intelligence competition, if they want to stand out and profit from it, it is really difficult!
