Thank you, my old friend!

Summer in Tokyo is hot and humid, and most pedestrians on the road carry umbrellas in case of sudden rain.

A middle-aged European man stood in front of the window, looking out the window at the slogans on the walls of buildings on the streets of Tokyo and the hurried pedestrians on the road, with an indescribable hatred in his eyes.

The phone on the desk rang. The middle-aged man turned around, limped slightly, walked to the table, reached for the phone, and paused slightly before putting the earpiece to his ear.

A familiar voice came from the phone: "Sorge? ”

It was the voice of the German ambassador to Japan, Ott, and the middle-aged man immediately became enthusiastic: "Mr. Ambassador, dear friend, it is a pleasure to listen to your voice. ”

Ott asked him to go to the ambassador's office right away.

This middle-aged man is Richard = Sorge, a special correspondent of the German "Frankfurter Zeitung" in Tokyo and an adviser to the German Embassy in Japan, a legendary hero and a red spy king.

Richard = Sorge was born on October 4, 1895 in the town of Archikand near the Baku oil fields in the Caucasus, Russia, his father Adolf = Sorge was a German oil drilling equipment expert who worked for the Swedish Nobel Brothers company, and his mother Nina = Simenova = Kobeleva was an ordinary Russian woman. When Sorge was 3 years old, his family moved to Berlin, Germany.

During World War I, Sorge was conscripted into the army and was killed by a shrapnel on the battlefield where three fingers were cut off and both legs were blown up. During his hospitalization, Sorge associated with a nurse from whom he was exposed to some of the most important classics, and after retiring from the army, he transferred to the University of Kiel in April 1918 and joined the German Socialist Party. In September of the following year, Sorge received a doctorate in political science from the University of Hamburg and joined Germany** as a secret KPD communist.

In 1924, Sorge attended the 7th Congress of the KPD, and as a result, he lost his job as a teacher and a coal mine and could only settle in the Soviet Union with his wife and daughter, became a Soviet citizen and a Soviet **, worked in the press office of the Comintern, and attended the 6th World Congress of the Comintern in July 1928.

At this time, Berzin, the head of the Soviet Army's intelligence department, took a fancy to Sorge and underwent strict special training for him, and Sorge became a scout of the 4th Bureau of the General Headquarters of the Soviet Red Army and began his journey as a red spy.

Sorge went to Scandina, Britain, and Germany, joined the Nazi Party in Germany, became a reporter for the German Agricultural Newspaper, and used this identity as a cover to go to China, organized the Sorge group, established a spy network, and obtained the radio communication code of the Nanjing General Headquarters of the Nationalist Government and its subordinate troops, the radio communication code between German affairs advisers, and 1 Bende by bribing the Chinese wife of Steerz, a German engineer and radio communication officer working in the Nanjing government, and 1 Bende The telephone number of the adviser to communicate with the Kuomintang China. From then on, every move of the Nationalist government and its army fell under Moscow's surveillance.

At this time, the famous Niu Lan couple case occurred.

Niu Lan and his wife were the liaison officers of the Comintern to the Far East Bureau of the Comintern in Shanghai, and kept a large number of documents from the Far Eastern branches to the Comintern, as well as detailed accounts of the Comintern's funds to the Far Eastern branches.

On June 1, 1931, Comintern messenger Joseph was arrested in Singapore. The British police found a registered telegraph and post office box in Shanghai from the documents Joseph carried, and notified the police department of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. After the British raid arrested Niu Lan and his wife, they seized the account books of the Far East Bureau of the Comintern for the year 19301931, the account books of the Chinese office of the secretariat of the Pacific Federation of Industrial Workers, the passbooks of various banks in Shanghai, and a large number of documents, including the instructions of the Comintern to the Far East Bureau and the countries of East Asia, including China, as well as the reports of the Far East Bureau and the Central Committee to the Comintern.

After their arrest, Niu Lan and his wife refused to answer any questions from the police, insisting on their public identity as the secretary of the Pacific Federation of Industrial Workers. This provided an opportunity for the Comintern to launch rescue activities, and when the police department of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau was helpless and was about to have to release the Nulands, Gu Shunzhang defected, and then Xiang Zhongfa was also arrested and betrayed, and the two confessed to Niu Lan and his wife one after another. Thus, in August 1931, Niu Lan and his wife were extradited by the Kuomintang authorities.

A huge campaign to rescue Niu Lan and his wife was organized by the Comintern. But for 10 months in a row, the Kuomintang authorities ignored international appeals and did not even admit to extraditing and arresting the Niulan. At the critical moment, the Comintern decided to use the Zorge group of the Far Eastern intelligence organization of the Red Army intelligence department to find out the place of detention of Niu Lan and his wife, and to provide conclusive evidence for the public rescue operation.

Rescuing Niu Lan and his wife may expose the intelligence network of Sorge's group!

Without hesitation, Zorge sent Fang Wen, a member of the group, to contact Zhang Chong, director general of the Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee and one of the main responsible persons of the Central Committee, and exchanged 20,000 US dollars with Zhang Chong to obtain a three-inch-long and one-inch-wide note written by Niu Lan and his wife in Russian. With this note, the lie that the Kuomintang did not extradite and arrest Niu Lan and his wife was exposed, and forced the Kuomintang authorities to publicly try Niu Lan and his wife, and sentenced Niu Lan and his wife to death for violating the "Emergency Crime Law of the Republic of China", invoked the amnesty ordinance, reduced the sentence to life imprisonment, and saved Niu Lan and his wife's lives.

In May 1933, Sorge was ordered to go to Japan to form an intelligence network independent of Japan** and the Soviet Embassy in Japan.

Sorge traveled to Japan via Germany.

In Germany, Sorge obtained the identity card of the special correspondent of the "Frankfurter Zeitung" in Tokyo, obtained a letter of introduction from the editorial office of the national journal "Geopolitics", the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Debuchi and diplomats from the German embassy in Tokyo, and from the editorial office of the "Daily Outlook" received a letter of introduction from the temporary assistant military attache of Germany, Eugene = Ott. Sorge then flew to the United States to meet with the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Izubuchi, to whom he wrote a letter of introduction to Sorge to meet Eiji Amaba, director of the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In this way, the Red Spy King Sorge took a ship to Yokohama, Japan, on September 6, 1933, with various high-level letters of introduction.

Sorge, a doctor of political science, with an elegant demeanor and a noble demeanor, and a Nazi party member and correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung in Tokyo, soon won new posts as intelligence officers at the German Embassy in Japan and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's ridiculous that Eiji Tenba, who is in charge of intelligence at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, didn't know that Sun Wukong had gotten into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and he also specially introduced Sorge to meet Japanese reporters and foreign reporters. Sorge set up an intelligence organization "Ramsay" group in Japan, whose members included Yugoslav Brando = Volkalik (member of the CPSU), German Max = Clausen (member of the CPSU), Japanese Yutoku Miyaki (member of the Communist Party of the United States), and Hidemi Ozaki (reporter of Japan's "Asahi Shimbun"). In particular, Hidemi Ozaki later became the secretary of Fumima Konoe.

The secretary of the Japanese Prime Minister turned out to be a member of the group of the Soviet intelligence organization "Ramsay"! It sounds like a fantasy, but it's true!

Sorge was in Japan, collecting intelligence while writing for the "Frankfurter Zeitung", and by the way, he also found a Japanese girl, Hanako Ishii, as a lover, and lived a very comfortable life.

The red spy king is the online spy king. As soon as Sorge made a move, he got information on the Japanese army's system, leaders, internal factions, etc., and won the first battle!

During the February = 26 incident in 1936, due to the Japanese army's strict blockade of the inside information of the coup, the Soviet Union instructed the "Ramsay" group to find out the inside story, and the military attache of the German and Japanese Embassy Ott also asked Sorge to find out the inside story and study the direction of the development of Japan's political situation. Sorge used the scattered materials given to him by Ott, combined with the materials of Yutoku Miyaki and Hidemi Ozaki, to write a report that the political situation in Japan would not change drastically, and sent them to Berlin and Moscow respectively, to the satisfaction of both sides. The military attache of the German Embassy in Japan, Ott, was rewarded by Berlin, and Sorge was given the privilege of reading all the Embassy's documents and telegrams at any time.

Since then, top-secret information has flown from Tokyo to Moscow. Decisions, including Stalin's decision to aid China and resist Japan, were influenced by Sorge's intelligence. Later, the Zhanggufeng conflict, the Battle of Normenheim, and the German blitzkrieg attack on Poland, the Soviet Union was all supported by Sorge's intelligence!

In May of this year, Lieutenant Colonel Schauer, the new military attache of the German Embassy in Thailand, arrived in Tokyo. Schauer and Sorge were old friends, and he revealed to Sorge that Hitler might attack the Soviet Union on June 20 or two or three days later. After thoroughly understanding the situation, Sorge informed Moscow by radio: Germany would attack the Soviet Union on June 22 with a strength of 170,190 divisions.

Unfortunately, after receiving the information, Stalin believed that this information violated the laws of warfare, and it was impossible for the Germans to fight on both sides and attack the Soviet Union. For the sake of prudence, Stalin instructed intelligence officers in Germany to keep a close eye on the production of cotton coats in the German army. Because Stalin believed that if the German army was to attack the Soviet Union, it had to produce enough military coats. Unfortunately, Hitler did not intend to drag out the campaign until winter at all, he planned to defeat the USSR in 4 months, and therefore did not arrange plans for the production of military coats. Unbeknownst to Stalin, he became more and more convinced that the Germans would not attack the Soviet Union at this time, so he put Sorge's information aside. This led to a crushing defeat for the Soviet Red Army at the beginning of the war!

Now that the Soviet-German war was in shambles, the Soviet side urgently needed to figure out whether the Japanese army would go north to attack the Red Army in the Far East. Because of the rout on the Western Front, the Soviet Army urgently needed to transfer the elite Far Eastern Red Army to support the operation on the Western Front.

Sorge was in his office thinking about how to obtain top-secret information on the accurate movements of the Japanese army, when he received a call from Ott.

When Sorge first arrived in Japan, Ott was only a temporary military attaché assistant at the German embassy in Japan. Thanks to Sorge's intelligence support, Ott was transformed from a temporary assistant military attaché to a military attaché, and now he is a hot German ambassador to Japan.

After arriving at Ott's office, Ott strode over, gave Sorge a warm hug, and then pulled Sorge into the secret room and told him that the Japanese government had declared that it would not intervene in the Soviet-German war for the time being, but had actually decided to go north to attack the Soviet Union. The question now is to find out once and for all whether the Japanese really wanted to fight with the Germans, or whether they were bound by the Triple Alliance Treaty and had to perfunctory Germany. Berlin instructed that it was important to get accurate information and report back quickly.

After saying that, Ode handed Sorge several documents and asked him to go to the port as a reporter to secretly investigate whether the Japanese army was transporting troops, ammunition, grain and supplies to Manchukuo on a large scale.

Sorge is the Red Spy King, and no one can see his inner thoughts from his face.

Sorge happily accepted the assignment, and after a close hug with Ott, he returned to his office with the documents provided by Ambassador Ott.

Ott's documents to Sorge are fragmentary, a record of a conversation between Japanese Foreign Minister Sadajiro Toyoda and Ott. In the conversation, Sajiro Toyoda told Ott that he would tell the Führer that His Majesty the Emperor had decreed that the Triple Alliance Treaty and the Secret Treaty would be carried out, and that the Japanese Army would move north to fight with the German army.

Sorge, who was frightened, hurriedly sorted out his thoughts, feeling that the Japanese military port must be heavily guarded at this time, and it was impossible to get close to reconnoitre. However, if the Japanese army really decided to advance north to attack the Soviet Union, it would inevitably be a large-scale mobilization, and no matter how covert it was, it would not be able to leave clues. The most urgent task at the moment is to get a plan for the Japanese army's northward advance. This task can only be accomplished by Hidemi Ozaki, who served as the secretary to Prime Minister Fumima Konoe.

Sorge couldn't sit still, drove out of the German embassy in Japan, and on a small street, taking advantage of people's attention, he used a public phone to call Ozaki Hidemi's phone, and told Ozaki Hidemi's family who answered the phone in fluent Japanese with a Tokyo accent that he was a classmate of Mr. Ozaki, and that Yamaoka was going to work on the Manchurian Railway, preparing for an old classmate reunion, sending off Yamaoka classmates, and inviting Ozaki to attend.

In the evening, Sorge waited for Hidemi Ozaki at a high-end bar.

Hidemi Ozaki began studying Marxism when he was a student in the Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Law of Tokyo Imperial University, and since then he has embarked on the path of a revolutionary. Because when he was in Shanghai, he had close contacts with the writers of the Left League, and became friends with Lu Xun, Smedley, and others.

After returning to Japan from Shanghai, Hidemi Ozaki became a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, where he took advantage of the convenience of studying the situation in East Asia to provide information. Later, after Fumima Konoe resigned as prime minister, Hidemi Ozaki was recommended to become Fumima Konoe's secretary. Now, after being tested, Hidemi Ozaki has become a confidant of Fumima Konoe. Most of the secrets of the Great Japanese Empire can be accessed by Hidemi Ozaki.

Ozaki Hidemi told Sorge that the purpose of the special exercise conducted by the Japanese Kwantung Army was to cover the northward advance of the combat operations. The Kwantung Army already had fifteen elite divisions and more than 400 fighters. As for the specific battle plan, he didn't see it, those things were stored in the General Staff Headquarters, and when Prime Minister Fumima Konoe went to the General Staff Headquarters, it involved things like the battle plan, which were strictly kept secret and the secretary could not access them.

That's what satisfied Sorge.

That night, an urgent message flew to Moscow by telegram!

Dear book friends: Yesterday there was an urgent task, and the mountain people were temporarily concentrated, and they couldn't code words. Make it up tonight! Please vote for it! Thank you!
