Chapter 1288: Clues
Deng Xiangtao's original plan was that he personally commanded the counterattack, so that the Japanese could see his determination, and let the bureau headquarters see his confidence. However, that night, he received a call back from the headquarters, telling him to return to Chongqing immediately. The tone was harsh and unprecedented.
The next morning, Zhu Muyun went to the death mailbox to deliver information, and as a result, he found the information left by Deng Xiangtao. There is only a short sentence on it: I will go back to the headquarters, the operation will be canceled, and I will contact you later.
Zhu Muyun had already drawn up an action plan last night. However, since Deng Xiangtao was leaving, he naturally didn't put the action plan into it. Zhu Muyun racked his brains to come up with a plan of action. Since there is no shortage of bombs and explosives in the military command, the best way is to give full play to Shen Yunhao's expertise and use blasting operations.
With explosives, it is simple to operate and very destructive. The most important thing is that there are not many people who are needed, and after the explosives are arranged, one person can operate them. The target chosen by Zhu Muyun was not the Political Security Bureau or the city government, but the gendarmerie.
Since you want to fight back, you naturally can't kill the Chinese. Even if the people in the Political Security Bureau are spies, they are only helping to abuse. The real damn it, it's the Japanese.
Now that the action has been canceled, Zhu Muyun's action plan naturally doesn't need to be put in anymore.
After Deng Xiangtao left the city, he quickly joined Shen Yunhao and Deng Yangchun and returned to Chongqing together. As soon as Deng Xiangtao left, Zhu Muyun cut off contact with the military commander. He didn't have a clear relationship with Yu Xinyu, and could only pass information to Yu Xinyu. But if you want to know the information from Yu Xinyu, I'm afraid you can only use the identity of "rooster".
Of course, during this time, he didn't need to contact Yu Xinyu. The military commander has suffered major damage to the Ancient Star Zone, and staying silent at this time is the best way to deal with it. Let the gendarmerie and the political security bureau have nowhere to go, and when they slack off, give them another blow. This is the best way to fight back, and it is also the most correct way to fight back.
Zhu Muyun originally thought that Deng Xiangtao would only need a few days to come back. Guxing to Chongqing, whether it is by water or land, is still smooth. As long as the ancient star is out, Deng Xiangtao has a way.
It's just that after waiting for nearly a week, there is still no news. Zhu Muyun wanted to get in touch with Yu Xinyu several times, but every time he saw her, she looked listless, and knew that there was no news from the military command.
Since there is no news from the military command, Zhu Muyun will not consider it for the time being. Anyway, when Deng Xiangtao comes back, he will be notified as soon as possible. The military commander still has a strong force in Guxing, and he can make a difference. As long as Deng Xiangtao comes back to preside over the overall situation, he can still become an important anti-Japanese force.
However, Deng Xiangtao has no news. Zhu Muyun is very worried, the headquarters will not detain Deng Xiangtao, right? Even if Deng Xiangtao is detained, at least someone else must be sent back to preside over the overall situation, right? Shen Yunhao and Deng Yangchun, although they are not great talents, there is no problem in temporarily presiding over the overall situation.
However, it has been almost a week, and there has been no news from the military command. However, life still has to be passed. During this time, Osawa Tanijiro's mother and sister have successfully returned to Guxing. Having money can make ghosts grind, such a large sum of money allowed them to return to the ancient star smoothly.
During this time, Tanijiro Osawa stayed with his family all day. He hadn't seen his mother and sister since he left Japan. In this regard, Zhu Muyun can also understand. During this time, he tried not to disturb Jiro Osawa Tani and concentrated on being an official of the Political Security Bureau.
Zhu Muyun is in the office, and he can easily obtain information about Japan, whether it is open or secret. Zhu Muyun was in the Political Security Bureau and heard a piece of news.
On November 20, 1941, Japan submitted to the United States a proposal known as the "B" case. It demanded that "neither Japan nor the United States enter Southeast Asia and the South Pacific (excluding Indochina) by force" in exchange for the lifting of the embargo and the cessation of aid to China, which the Japanese side claimed was the "absolute last proposal."
Zhu Muyun believes that this proposal is an ultimatum from Japan to the United States. Over the past 41 years, Japan's various performances in Guxing, including its attitude toward the French Concession and foreigners, have shown that the Japanese want to make a big move. It's just that this so-called "B" case suggestion made him keenly aware that the Japanese were probably going to do it.
After the "918" incident, the United States continued to increase its trade with Japan, especially the export of strategic raw materials to Japan, despite Japan's ever-expanding aggression. After 1932 and before the "77 Incident," the United States supplied Japan with 90 percent of the scrap steel, 65 percent of oil and petroleum products, 90 percent of copper and 45 percent of lead, and 70 percent of the machine tools necessary for the expansion of the military industry.
In 1937, the United States exported a total of $288,558,000 of materials to Japan, of which war materials accounted for 58%; In 1938, a total of 239.575 million US dollars of materials were exported to Japan, of which war materials accounted for 67%; In 1939, 90% of Japan's oil imports came from the United States.
After the outbreak of the European War, Japan took advantage of the defeat of France and the British to defend the British Isles, and forced them to close the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and forcibly stationed them in northern Indochina.
In July this year, it forcibly stationed itself in southern Indochina and forced France to sign the "Japan-France Protocol on the Mutual Defense of Indochina," thus taking control of the naval bases in Saigon and Cam Ranh Bay.
Based on these circumstances, Zhu Muyun feels that the Japanese are going to make a big move. Zhu Muyun wrote two pieces of information and handed them to Dong Guangning and Yu Xinyu respectively. The information handed over to Dong Guangning asked him to quickly report to the organization. As for the information given to Yu Xinyu, she was also asked to send a report to the headquarters. By the way, let's urge the person in charge of Gu Xing.
This is the second time Yu Xinyu has received information about the "rooster", and she is very excited. Although the activities in the Ancient Star District have turned silent, she still has a radio station in her hand that can directly communicate with the headquarters.
Yu Xinyu also read the information of the "rooster" and analyzed it thoroughly. Although the data provided by Rooster are obtained from public sources. However, after his analysis, combined with Gu Xing's current situation, Yu Xinyu felt that the Japanese were indeed going to do it.
In the evening, when Zhu Muyun went home, he saw the mark left by Xu Zhi. Xu asked him to meet, and it was clear that there was a new task for him in the organization.
"Secretary Xu, do you have any tasks?" Zhu Muyun said.
"After analyzing the information you submitted, do you think the Japanese might go to war with the United States?" Xu Zhiwen said that there have always been two kinds of analysis of the movements of the Japanese: southward and northward. Naturally, the southward march was to solve their lack of resources, while the northward march was to flank the Soviet Union with Germany.
Either way, there is an option for Japan. The Soviet Union had always been very worried that the Japanese would advance northward, and they deployed millions of troops in Siberia to prevent Japan from advancing northward.
In fact, I believe that someone in the organization should be able to see through the results of such an analysis, and I am just throwing bricks and stones. In the short term, Japan's southward expansion can solve the imminent problem of lack of resources, while it will take several years to see the effect when it goes north, and the Japanese cannot wait. Whether it is their vision or national conditions, they will choose to go south. It is said that life in Japan is becoming increasingly difficult, and if the resource problem is not solved, they will not be able to sustain themselves for a few years. Zhu Muyun said.
Don't look at the fact that the Japanese army did not suffer a major defeat on the battlefield, but there were often small defeats. These small failures, which add up to a lot, can also cause huge losses. Japan's front is getting longer and longer, and their recovery ability is no longer as good as China's. The Japanese lost 10,000 people, and the Chinese army lost 100,000 people, and the blow to the two countries was completely different.
"If Japan goes to war with the United States, do you think it will be a war of resistance for us, or will it be detrimental to the war of resistance?" Xu asked.
"Of course, it is conducive to the war of resistance, and once Japan and the United States go to war, regardless of victory or defeat, it will be a thing worth celebrating for us." Zhu Muyun said with certainty that Japan and the United States are two opponents of different levels. If they go to war, China will not only get a respite, but also strong support from the United States.
It's like two people fighting, and suddenly a third person comes, no matter how powerful Japan is, it is simply impossible to defeat China and the United States at the same time. Japan has already fallen into a quagmire in the Chinese battlefield, and to provoke the United States again is just to bring about its own destruction.
"The family has given you a high opinion of your information. The organization believes that you can provide not only tactical intelligence, but also strategic intelligence. Xu said.
In August, the Guxing Municipal Government promulgated the "Interim Measures for the Prohibition of Foreign Trade", and the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries were listed as the targets of the ban on overseas Chinese businessmen in Han. At that time, I thought that the Japanese were not at ease. This time, Japan and the United States seem to be negotiating, but in fact the Japanese have been playing a cautious role, they are actively preparing for war, and all the Japanese overseas Chinese in the United States have withdrawn. The mother and sister of Jiro Osawa Tani have settled in Guxing. It can be said that everything is ready now, and only the east wind is owed. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"There is another thing, Deng Xiangtao may not be able to return to Guxing in the short term." Xu Shi suddenly said that although Zhu Muyun's reasoning was only based on public data and Gu Xing's specific situation, it sounded reasonable.
"Why is that?" Zhu Muyun said in surprise that he was trained and developed by Deng Xiangtao to enter the military command, if Deng Xiangtao can't return to Guxing, who will he work for in the future?
"The military commander Guxing District suffered a major defeat this time, and Chongqing was angry and ashamed, of course it had to find someone responsible. It is said that Deng Xiangtao has been removed from the Guxing stationmaster. Xu Zhi said that although the Guxing District was demoted to the Guxing Station, Deng Xiangtao still failed to keep his position.
"Who's the new webmaster?" Zhu Muyun asked, this is the benefit of being organized, he was blind to the affairs of Chongqing, if it wasn't for Xu Zhi to talk about it, he wouldn't know at all.
Except for Yu Xinyu's line, his communication with Chongqing was all cut off. Deng Xiangtao can't come to Guxing, is he going to be led by others? This made him very worried, and his "rooster" might also be exposed.
