Chapter 1159: The whereabouts are a mystery
At this time, the door opened, and an officer pushed the door in, and this person was none other than Scott, the intelligence officer of the British garrison.
Although Hong Kong is not large, but its international status is important, so the British garrison in Hong Kong is not small, with a total of nearly 20,000 garrisons, which are composed of British and Indian soldiers, including a part of Canadian troops, and this garrison has a complete range of departments, not only a small part of the navy and air force, but also a corresponding intelligence department, Scott is one of the important figures, and he is also the main person in charge of cooperating with Sandora's work this time.
Scott walked a few steps in front of Sandora and said, "Miss Quake, those two Japanese have spoken, and they are indeed agents of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but they don't know the whereabouts of the drawings, they just came to search the field once, and in the end they didn't find anything. ”
The arrest in the middle of the night and early hours of the night went well, because the search of the Notting passenger liner had been fruitless these days, so Sandora suggested that the personnel be evacuated on the surface, but a trap was set up in secret.
So Scott led the armed forces to ambush in the dockyard, waiting for the Japanese to take the bait, with the intention of using the hands of these Japanese spies to find out the whereabouts of the drawings.
As a result, the target was really waited, a total of five Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs agents, Scott waited for the other party to complete the search, and when he left the cabin, he ordered the arrest, and as a result, three were killed on the spot, and two wounded were captured alive, and after several hours of interrogation, all the circumstances have been inquired about.
"Tony, I said, you can call me Sandora, we've always worked together very happily, we don't need to be too strange with each other!" The corners of Sandora's mouth lifted, revealing a beautiful and charming smile, and said kindly.
Scott also smiled slightly and nodded politely, but he didn't have the slightest snubbing for the beautiful girl in front of him.
Because the order he received was to unconditionally cooperate with any actions of this female intelligence officer, and even the commander of the garrison specifically pointed out that this intelligence officer from the headquarters of the homeland had a deep background and great energy, and all his actions were endorsed by the top military officials, which was far from being comparable to that of an intelligence officer of a garrison in a Far Eastern colony like him.
"Okay, Sandora, according to the confession of these two Japanese spies, several assistants of Yanagawa Naoto do not know the specific whereabouts of the drawings, this time they were only searched on the orders of Hidehiko Suzuki, but they were just trying their luck."
Speaking of which, Scott shrugged his shoulders and quipped, "Obviously, their luck is not good!" ”
After the Notting cruise ship arrived in Hong Kong before, although Scott and others also searched the three Japanese spies, they did not dare to really blatantly detain the people and torture them to extract confessions, otherwise once the conflict intensified and the face was completely torn, the consequences were unpredictable, so they were finally released.
But in this way, Sandora, Scott and others could not be sure whether the three assistants knew the whereabouts of the drawings, perhaps they did not take the drawings off the ship in order to prevent the British from searching, so they finally set a trap and waited for the Japanese to take the bait.
The Suzuki Hidehiko in Scott's mouth is the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong and the intelligence chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, and he has full command of the task of retrieving the drawings this time, and Scott, as the intelligence officer of the Hong Kong Garrison, is also very familiar with this Suzuki Hidehiko.
Shandora was also very disappointed when she heard this, her calculation fell short, she sighed, nodded and said: "The actions of the Japanese also show that they really don't know the specific whereabouts of the drawings, but they don't know what went wrong in the middle, and the drawings of this engine disappeared for no reason, could it really be that someone did something in the middle?" ”
She has carefully recalled the details of the operation these days and confirmed that she did not make any major mistakes, but now she still can't figure out what the problem is, and finally guessed whether a third party was involved?
Scott continued: "One more thing, in the past few days, the Japanese side has frequently put pressure on the Hong Kong Governor's Office to participate in the investigation of the uncaused death of Japanese nationals, and the French government has also sent official letters protesting against the seizure of the Nordin. ”
In the past few days, the reaction from all sides has been very strong, and of course the Japanese have protested many times, but after all, it is a top-secret intelligence activity, and it cannot be said on the surface.
The Nordin passenger liner is a cruise ship of the French ocean company, for which the French government also expressed dissatisfaction.
However, the situation in Britain is also complicated at present, with different opinions within the Diet and various forces having their own opinions, and after the changes in events in the past few months, the side that insists on taking a tough stance against the Japanese has gradually gained the upper hand.
The Vichy government in France had surrendered to Germany, and their positions had changed and turned hostile, and the British did not pay much attention to their protests.
And Sandora's actions were also supported by British intelligence, so she was very confident, and smiled disapprehantly: "Don't worry about these problems, our goal is the engine drawings, in short, if the engine drawings are not found in one day, the Nordin will not be able to leave Hong Kong, I don't believe that the Japanese really dare to completely turn their faces with us." ”
At this time, although the British had some scruples about the Japanese, it was because of the pressure of the Germans that they were forced to make concessions in the Far East.
Scott also agreed with Sandora, and when he saw that Sandora was not moved at all, he shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much.
At this time, Sandora looked back at the workbench next to her, and now there were many items on the workbench in turn, all of which she had brought back from Naoto Yanagawa's room.
She sighed lightly and whispered: "It stands to reason that if the drawings of the aviation torpedo can be hidden in the cigar, then why is the drawing of the engine not there?" Is it necessary to hide two places? This Yanagawa Naoto is too careful, right? ”
It turned out that Sandora had found the blueprint of the aviation torpedo, before she deliberately disguised herself to get close to Yanagawa Naoto, and once had a hot fight with Yanagawa Naoto, but although Yanagawa Naoto was lustful, he was also an experienced old agent in the end, and he had a heavy responsibility, so he was also on guard against Sandora, and Shandora checked several times, but was almost detected by Yanagawa Naoto, so that Sandora finally had to take tough measures.
So on the last night of arriving in Hong Kong, taking the opportunity of intimacy with Yanagawa Naoto, Sandora subdued Yanagawa Naoto, but Yanagawa Naoto is also a ruthless character, once he saw that the opportunity was not good, he directly took poison and committed suicide, and did not give Sandora a chance to interrogate at all.
Under the circumstances, Sandora had to evacuate quickly, but she still took all the items in the house that might have hidden the blueprints, which is what she is seeing now:
For example, a carry-on wallet, a suitcase, a change of clothes, a pistol, a self-defense dagger, a silver flask, a set of French luxury perfumes, a few letters from home, and a box of high-end cigars.........
Even Naoto Yanagawa took back his belts and leather shoes, and in short, all the items that could be taken away, Sandora took them.
In fact, Shandora's response was very correct, after she brought these items back, after careful inspection by the team, they finally found a drawing film in a cigar, everyone was ecstatic, originally thought that the operation was completed, but after inspection, it was poured cold water, because they found that this was only the technical drawings of the aviation torpedo, and the most important technical drawings of the G engine, but there was no trace.
You must know that Germany's technical assistance this time, the most important thing is the technology of the G engine, which is also the most advanced engine technology in various countries at present.
As for the technology of aviation torpedoes, it is only an incidental product, because the Japanese aviation torpedo technology is also relatively advanced and not below Germany, so this aviation torpedo technology is only used for reference and exchange, and its importance is relatively much worse.
Because the British retreated to the British Isles, their main combat mission at present was to deal with the Luftwaffe, so they made great efforts to intercept the technology of the G-engine, which was also the technology they most urgently needed.
After a night of careful inspection, everyone checked all the items, still did not find the drawings of the G engine, and finally thought that this drawing should still be in the cabin of Yanagawa Naoto, they planned to search thoroughly again, but at this time the Notin passenger ship was about to arrive in Hong Kong, and Yanagawa Naoto's death had also been discovered by his assistant, and it also caused a mess on the passenger ship, and there was no chance to search again, so in the end Sandora had to take emergency measures, contact the Hong Kong garrison, ask for assistance, and detain the Nordin passenger ship.
However, in the past few days, although the British military conducted a thorough search of Yanagawa Naoto's cabin and even the entire passenger liner Notting, they still found nothing, and finally had to give up.
At this point, Sandora picked up half a cigar again, and a suspicious look flashed in her eyes.
This is a Romeo brand cigar, about six inches long, the ring diameter is thicker than an adult's thumb, is the largest cigar on the market, they found a microfilm in such a cigar, that is, the technical drawings of aviation torpedoes, originally thought that the engine drawings would also be hidden in the same cigar, but then they took apart the other cigars, and found nothing.
And in the past few days, they have also thoroughly inspected other items, such as cutting open Yanagawa Naoto's belt and leather shoes, disassembling the trunk of the suitcase, and even cutting his change of clothes for inspection, etc., but they still did not find the drawing film of the engine.
Now that everything is back to the beginning, the whereabouts of the engine drawings remain a mystery!
