Chapter 2 Operational Failures
A spy team usually has three to five moles, often Chinese or their family members in important positions, while carrier pigeons have only one. The carrier pigeon is also the leader of the entire spy team, and this person can be sure that he is a fake Japanese, because the Japanese are very xenophobic, do not believe in foreign races at all, and will definitely not give such an important post to the Chinese.
Since its establishment, the Military Intelligence Department has done a lot of trivial things, but it has not caught a few real Japanese spies.
When the agents of the Wuhan intelligence station caught a Japanese spy and seized the radio station and the code book, it immediately shook the entire top brass - this is the first Japanese military code book captured by China, and it will play an immeasurable role in China's work to decipher Japanese messages.
Modern China is very backward, not only militarily and economically, but also backward in all aspects, including intelligence work.
China's intelligence work started very late, and in the eyes of the Japanese it is the level of a primary school student, and the Japanese can crack China's military messages very casually, while the Chinese look at the intercepted Japanese messages as if they were reading a book from heaven.
As a last resort, the Nationalist Government mobilized the nation's telecommunications elite and top mathematicians to decipher the Japanese telegrams, but there was still no great progress, and the reason for this was that there was no reference.
Friends who have watched spy war dramas know that the so-called encrypted messages are actually using numbers or other things instead of words, if you want to crack these garbled codes, the way is very simple in the end, is to find the rules, find the rules of their interconnection, and all this will be easily solved.
However, if you want to find a pattern, you must have a reference, otherwise it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is thankless.
The seizure of that codebook made the domestic deciphering experts like a treasure, the reason is that they had a reference, and because of this, all the agents of Wuhan Station who participated in the seizure were awarded for meritorious service, and they also won the Yunlu Medal, which was unparalleled for a while, which made the people of the same company envious.
And the reason why this opportunity excited the agents of the entire Hangzhou station is because under normal circumstances, the carrier pigeons of the Japanese spy team are equipped with radio stations in case they have emergency contact with the headquarters.
Therefore, after getting the clues, all the intelligence officers at the Hangzhou station held back their strength and must dig out this carrier pigeon in order to add a beautiful touch to their agent career.
However, a whole day passed, and no one approached the dead mailbox that the mole confessed, and those who have done this know that this matter is eighty percent yellow.
Under normal circumstances, the mole will not meet with the carrier pigeon, which can increase the security of the entire spy team, and once the mole successfully steals the information, it will put the information in the dead mailbox agreed by him and the carrier pigeon in advance, and then send a signal at the contact point, and the carrier pigeon will come to the dead mailbox to extract information after seeing this signal.
Although this operation is cumbersome, it protects the safety of the carrier pigeon to the greatest extent, because the mole does not know the carrier pigeon at all, and even if the mole is caught by mistake, it is difficult to find the head of the carrier pigeon with this information alone.
Information is the most time-sensitive thing, if nothing else, the carrier pigeon will take the information on the same day, so as not to make a mistake, but the time passed minute by minute, the night slowly fell, the dead mailbox confessed by the mole has never been touched, by this time no one has taken the information, then it can be said that this information has been abandoned.
There are two reasons for this, one is that the mole lied and played tricks on the captors, but this is unlikely.
Feng Muhua has seen that mole, he is a typical mercenary person, who betrayed the country just because of money and the wishes of the Japanese, such a person has no backbone, and he will never dare to lie when he falls into the hands of the military intelligence department.
Then there is only one reason left for the failure of this arrest, that is, there is an internal ghost, and the internal ghost warned the Japanese in advance in some way, so that the Japanese spy decisively gave up this information.
The people who can eat in the military intelligence department are the elite of the elite, and they are by no means the wine bags and rice bags that were shown on TV in later generations, and everyone knows about the ghosts in the station, but the people here are all old fritters, this kind of sensitive matter, no one will say much, and if you accidentally say the wrong word, you will offend people to death.
Time was flowing quietly, and more than two hours passed, Zhao Junbi, the captain of the first action team, looked at the watch on his wrist, and the sadness on his face was even worse, he was an experienced agent, and he knew that the Japanese spy had not moved at this time, which meant that the other party had given up this information, and this operation could be declared a failure.
Seeing this big fish slipping away from his hands, Zhao Junbi didn't mention how uncomfortable it was, this was a great opportunity to make a great contribution, it was precisely because he was the team leader's fellow countryman and confidant that the team leader granted him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which made the other two action captains blush. But God won't help.
Who can blame this, if you want to blame yourself, you have bad luck.
Zhao Junbi sighed softly, although he didn't say anything, everyone present could see that he was about to give up.
Sure enough, the next moment, the phone installed in the monitoring team rang, and Zhao Junbi obviously knew what was going to happen next, so he reluctantly picked up the phone and said, "I'm Zhao Junbi." ”
The voice of the team leader came from the phone, and said, "You leave a few people to monitor, and immediately have a meeting with Feng Mubang in the station!" The group leader's voice was stern and cold, and it could be seen that he was in a particularly bad mood.
"Yes!" Zhao Junbi knew that the station was also about to give up, so he replied with his chest puffed up, and hung up the phone helplessly.
Such a big case died in the middle of the way, so that everyone present was unwilling, Feng Muhua was even more unwilling, he was a hardcore military fan in later generations, the most revered war was China's War of Resistance Against Japan, after coming to this world, I finally had the opportunity to catch a Japanese spy to contribute to China's anti-Japanese cause, but I didn't expect this result.
Feng Muhua in later generations was also an intelligence officer, and he knew that after this clue was broken, according to the current conditions, it was basically impossible to find this Japanese carrier pigeon.
Although the current Hangzhou is not as prosperous as in later generations, it is also a large city with a population of more than one million, and finding a person in this city who does not show his feet at all is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
