Nanjing, the Governor's Mansion of East China.

"President, Director Wang of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau is here!" Secretary Xiao Gao called from the office next door to report to Xiao Zhenlei.

"Let him in!" Xiao Zhenlei said and put down the phone.

After a while, Wang Yaqiao walked in with a briefcase and saluted Xiao Zhenlei Lizheng. According to the establishment, the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau, and the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau are all subordinate to the command and belong to the military establishment, and non-field service and special service personnel must wear military uniforms in peacetime, especially the staff who have to work normally in the office.

Xiao Zhenlei also wears a military uniform, his military rank is the rank of general, which is a title awarded by Yuan Shikai, and he always wears it when he goes to work, but he will change into regular clothes after work. Seeing Wang Yaqiao coming in, he got up and beckoned: "Brother Jiuguang, please come in!" ”

It has entered November, the weather is a little cold, although the office is warmer than the outside, but the temperature is not a few degrees higher, Xiao Zhenlei got up and poured a cup of tea for Wang Yaqiao, and filled his teacup with boiling water.

Wang Yaqiao took the teacup and thanked him, then drank tea and sat on the sofa with Xiao Zhenlei, after a few sips of tea, Wang Yaqiao put down the teacup and said: "President, I am here to report on the progress of our bureau's spy system in Shanghai to detect the Japanese side in the recent period!" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about the progress! After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he continued to drink tea.

"Yes!" Wang Yaqiao said and took out a bag from his purse, and opened it as he spoke: "Until now, we have basically mastered all the networks of this organization in Shanghai, even if there are fish that have slipped through the net, I think there are only two or three, and we can continue this follow-up work, and strive to defeat them all, and there will be no one left."

This Japanese spy organization is the Shanghai branch of the Japanese Black Dragon Society, and we have secretly arrested Michito Koizumi, the president of the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Society. According to his confession, the Japanese Black Dragon Society is only a peripheral organization of Japan's foreign intelligence agencies, and the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Society is under the dual leadership of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai and the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, and the leader of the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Society at the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai is military attache Kitagawa Renichi, and this person's identity is special, and we are worried that arresting him will cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries, so we dare not do it at will. And there are quite a few of them, but we only have a list of bought officials in the area south of the Yangtze River, what to do with these officials and Kitagawa Renichi? We are worried that a full-scale move will disrupt the president's strategic deployment, so we are here to ask for instructions! ”

Xiao Zhenlei didn't give an opinion immediately after hearing this, took out two cigarettes with a cigarette case and threw one over, lit one himself, smoked it, got up and measured his steps in the office, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a few minutes, he stopped and said: "This matter is divided into two, your Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau Shanghai Station is responsible for arresting all the personnel of the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Society, including the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Kitagawa Renichi, when arresting him, you must act secretly, and you must not leak the slightest rumor, we can't directly get into a diplomatic stalemate with Japan now, it is best to create the illusion that he is missing, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to Yuan Shikai to deal with them, if the people on Yuan Shikai's side come to make trouble, push it to the police station and let them find someone!" Leave the matter of arresting the bribed officials to the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau, hand over the list to Hu Weishan, and send some people from your side to assist, and the actions of the two sides must be carried out at the same time, quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly! We can't control other places for the time being, but our territory must not allow these people to continue to sit in their places, this is a huge danger! In addition, we can't let go of other parts of the country that we can't control, although we can't take direct action, but we must also send people to monitor, and we must grasp their identities and addresses to a certain extent, waiting for an opportunity! In particular, the hidden personnel of the Japanese intelligence organizations in other provinces and regions of our country must be vigorously investigated, and after the arrest operation is over, you will hand over this work to the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau, and your iron-blooded investigation bureau will put your mind abroad, I need you to be eyes, we can't become blind and can't see the world around us! ”

Wang Yaqiao stood up and saluted: "Yes!" ”

After Wang Yaqiao left, Xiao Zhenlei walked to the desk and picked up the phone and said, "Xiao Gao, notify Hu Weishan from the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau to come and see me!" ”

"Okay, President!"

After the establishment of the East China Governor's Office, Xiao Zhenlei made a large-scale adjustment to the government agencies and related positions in the four provinces under the jurisdiction of the East China Governor's Office, and the governors of each province and some key major positions were replaced by the Predator's own people, and the political and military affairs were separated, the government did not interfere in military affairs, the military could not intervene in government affairs, the garrisons in various places had completed the whole training, the establishment was complete, the military system was rigorous, Xiao Zhenlei was not afraid that there would be a mutiny, and he was still very relieved of the troops. For Cai Guodong, Hu Weishan, Ma Hanlong and other old people, Xiao Zhenlei is not good for them to go down to be division commanders, so these people have been transferred to Nanjing to serve in the directly subordinate institutions under the headquarters, for example, Cai Guodong is the director of the Operations Department under the Headquarters, Hu Weishan is the deputy director of the Training Department and the director of the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau, Ma Hanlong is the director of the Fu Department of the Operations Department, and Xu Shaozhen is the director of the Training Department. It is necessary to form a campaign establishment at the army level, and these people can directly command the troops.

Soon, Hu Weishan received a notice to come over, Xiao Zhenlei took him to the sofa and sat down, and said: "Wang Yaqiao came here just now, they have already mastered the situation of the Japanese spy organization that assassinated me last time, this organization is called the Black Dragon Society, you must have heard of it, I have just told Wang Yaqiao, the action of arresting the members of the Japanese Black Dragon Society in East China is done by his people, and your Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau is responsible for arresting the people who were bought by the Japanese under our rule, and the list of personnel is in Wang Yaqiao's hands, and you will communicate with him after you go back." After the arrest operation is completed, the interrogation and follow-up investigation will all be handed over to the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau, I have already said hello to Wang Yaqiao, and when the time comes, you will do your best to remember the handover of the case, and the internal investigation bureau will be fully responsible for the domestic counter-espionage work in the future, and you can also ask the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau to cooperate when necessary! ”

Hu Weishan said rightly: "Yes, president!" ”

On 17 October, the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau and the Internal Investigation Bureau conducted a joint operation, and at the same time took action against Japan's spy organization in East China, the operation codenamed "Destroy", and overnight, Japan's spy network in East China was uprooted, and not only were there no officials left in various places who had been bribed, but even none of Japan's intelligence personnel in East China had escaped the net, including Japan's top intelligence officer in East China, and Japanese Consulate in Shanghai Military Attache Kitagawa Niichi, who was secretly arrested. In the outside world, he has disappeared.

In this arrest operation, in order not to disturb social order and not to arouse panic among the people, all the officials who were bribed by Japan were arrested on charges of corruption and dereliction of duty, and the iron-blooded investigation bureau also did not arrest those Japanese intelligence personnel with great fanfare, so as to minimize the movement and reduce the impact on the outside world.

The disappearance of the Japanese military attache in Shanghai, Kitagawa Renichi, made the Japanese consulate in Shanghai very nervous, after all, Kitagawa Renichi managed all Japanese intelligence agents in southeastern China, and if he disappeared, then the Japanese side would lose control of other intelligence officers in East China.

In this operation, although it was carried out quickly and tightly, there were still people who escaped, such as Kitagawa Renichi's assistant Tonomiya Taro, who was the only one who escaped, and after this person escaped, he hid for a week, and only dared to return to the consulate in Shanghai after the wind calmed down a little, and after he returned to the consulate in Shanghai, the Japanese side learned that the intelligence organization in the southeast had been completely destroyed.

In order to find Kitagawa Renichi as much as possible, Miyamoto, consul of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, personally went to the special city hall to meet with Mayor Lin Zhiqiang, told about the disappearance of military attache Kitagawa Renichi, and asked the special city government to give an explanation immediately.

Mayor Lin Zhiqiang said that Miyamoto should first communicate with the diplomatic department of the Beiping Provisional Government, and the diplomatic department of the provisional government should send someone to coordinate, and he also stressed that the special city government cannot leave the diplomatic department of the provisional government and contact the foreign consul alone, but he also said that during the period of negotiations between Miyamoto and the diplomatic department of the Beiping provisional government, he will instruct the special city police department to send police to find it, but this will take time.

Lin Zhiqiang's official appearance made Miyamoto unable to find any reason to find fault, so he could only go back angrily, and immediately reported the matter to the Japanese Legation in Beiping after returning to the consulate, hoping that the Beiping Legation would immediately note the diplomatic department of the Beiping Provisional Government and find Kitagawa Renichi in the shortest possible time.

But after more than a week, Kitagawa Renichi secretly returned to the consulate in Shanghai, he confessed to the consul in Shanghai Miyamoto that he was also pursued by the intelligence department under the East China Governor's Office that night, he tried his best to escape, and finally was forced to jump into the river to escape, after jumping into the river he fainted, and when he woke up lying on a fishing boat, he was afraid that he would be caught once he appeared, so he had been hiding in the countryside, until recently, the wind was not too tight he dared to sneak back to the consulate secretly.

The palace minister did not have the slightest doubt about Kitagawa Renichi's words, you must know that that night, the actions of the intelligence department under the East China Governor's Office were extremely secret, and the Japanese side basically did not get any news, otherwise it would not have been caught all together, he believed that Kitagawa Renichi would not have any problems, for the safety of Kitagawa Renichi, he arranged for a ship to send Kitagawa Renichi back to Japan.

Port Arthur, the Japanese Kanto Metropolitan Government.

After listening to the secretary's report, Fukushima Yasumasa was furious: "Yaga, Yaga Yalu, I have long said that intelligence work cannot tolerate sloppiness, Kitagawa Renichi thinks that the current Chinese regime is not unified, the warlords in various places are chaotic, and the intelligence ability is low, so he doesn't take my words seriously, now it's okay, the intelligence network we have worked so hard to build in southeast China has been wiped out, and all the hard work of decades has been in vain, this damn bastard, I want to accuse him to Tokyo, such a person must not let him occupy an important position!" ”

Fukushima Yasuma is the current governor of the Kanto Prefecture, the predecessor of the Kanto Governor's Office was the Kanto Governor's Office, the former governor was Oshima Yoshimasa, this institution was established on September 1, 1906, Fukushima Yasumasa also took up the post of Governor of the Kanto Prefecture this year, the Governor's duty is to control the Kanto Prefecture, protect and manage the relevant affairs of the South Manchurian Railway, and be supervised by the Minister of Foreign Affairs when handling foreign affairs; In handling military and political affairs, it is under the supervision of the Minister of War; Matters relating to operations and the education of the army are supervised by the Chief of Staff and the Director of Education, respectively. As a result, there are often conflicts between Fukushima Yasumasa and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant departments over power. However, because of this person's great reputation, various authorities in Japan had to give him some face.

Yasuma Fukushima is the father of Japan's intelligence agencies, a conspirator and strategist with a vision. He took the lead in proposing the shocking claim that "Japan's defense line is on the Korean Peninsula and Chinese mainland"; He infiltrated the hinterland of China several times to reconnoiter military intelligence, providing a detailed intelligence basis for Japan's war against the Qing Dynasty; He has an amazing talent for languages, and his proficiency in five Chinese languages makes him comfortable stealing intelligence from other countries.

He once served as the secretary of Youpeng in Shanxian County, collecting overseas intelligence for Youpeng in Shanxian County. He believes that intelligence work cannot be obtained simply from newspapers and articles with a bottle of paste and a pair of scissors, and he prefers to go to the field to obtain first-hand information.

In order to understand British colonial rule, and to study the dynamics of the Anglo-Russian rivalry in Asia and its impact on Japan's security, Fukushima turned his attention to Southeast Asia and India. In 1885, Yasumasa Fukushima was ordered to go to Hong Kong, Burma, and India to "investigate", and went deep into Afghanistan, and after his return, he proposed the "Summary of Indian Forms". In 1895, Japan was forced to withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula due to the intervention of Russia, Germany and France, and Fukushima Yasumasa was again ordered to go to Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Russia, Arabia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, China and other places to investigate. These reports have played a crucial role in the Japanese authorities' correct judgment of the international and domestic situation.

In 1887, Yasumasa Fukushima was appointed Japanese military attaché in Germany. During the five years, he examined the situation in Europe in detail, in which the movements of Russia aroused his great interest. In January 1891, Russia announced plans to build the Trans-Siberian Railway, and construction began immediately. This railway, which connects the Russian capital Petersburg and Vladivostok, and crosses the Eurasian continent, can be said to be Russia's greatest weapon of aggression in Asia. The Trans-Siberian Railway runs through northeastern China, with a branch from Harbin to the south, to Lushun and Dalian, which can give Russia easy access to Asia.

In February 1892, Yasumasa Fukushima set out from Germany on horseback and headed east, riding through Petersburg, Moscow, the Altai Mountains, Siberia, Mongolia, Aihui, Qiqihar, and Jilin before arriving at Vladivostok. In the process, eight horses were changed, which lasted 488 days and traveled 14,000 kilometers, creating a miracle in the history of intelligence reconnaissance.

The secretary was furious when he saw the father of Japanese intelligence and the governor of the Kanto Prefecture, and he did not dare to speak, so he could only stand quietly to the side and wait for instructions.

Fukushima Yasumasa lost his temper and said: "Send a telegram to the cabinet immediately, regarding the next candidate for the deputy chief of staff, I recommend Akashi Genjiro!" ”

"Yes, General!" R1152
