Chapter 58: Secret War
The battle on Christmas Island has been completely over, although some of the natives still escaped into the rainforest, but it is certain that they no longer dare to attack during the day, and there is no threat to the construction of the Flying Fish Bay base, after escorting all the prisoners to the improvised cells built in the base, He Yu did not continue to chase and fight the fleeing natives, after all, the current troops and ammunition cannot support him to continue fighting, and he must wait for the next batch of arms from the mainland.
But at this time, in the city of Batavia, a war without gunpowder had quietly begun.
Liu Yun is fully responsible for supervising the construction of the Australian Embassy work has entered the mid-term, from the local cement and steel and other building materials to speed up the progress of the Australian Embassy project construction, just last week, the main office building of 200 square meters of two percent of the office building has been capped, for which Liu Yun also held a small capping ceremony.
The ceremony was held very solemnly, in addition to the governor of Batavia and representatives from all walks of life, each representative who participated in the topping out ceremony received a small gift when he returned, a gold ring with a modern design style of gemstones, which had to make people admire the generosity of the Australian boss and the loser.
This kind of ruined behavior is not only a regular gift, but also reflected in the employment of labor and the purchase of goods, obviously a Spanish silver dollar can hire a worker to work for half a month, but the Australian is ten times the price, but also provide food and accommodation, for example, some obviously worthless items, but Australians are very fond of large-scale purchases.
All the behavior of the Australians is not understandable to the Batavians, they blame this on the old Australian losers and customs, especially some Ming immigrants are a little distressed, this Australian can not be so defeated if they have money.
"Minister, there has been some progress in what you asked me to keep an eye on, and Yang Jian really has a problem." Zhang Tianwen, one of the first people left behind in Batavia, has now officially been developed into his subordinate by Liu Yun, a half-baked detective.
Immediately after Liu Yun's membership was removed, the Executive Committee formally appointed him as the first ambassador to Batavia, and along with the letter of appointment, there was a secret appointment to the post of secretary of homeland security.
After receiving the official appointment, Liu Yun's pace gradually increased, not only looking for intelligence officers in Batavia, but also reaching out to the inside. It was under this circumstance that Zhang Tianwen was developed by him to become a full member of the Australian Homeland Security Service.
Batavia's intelligence work was mainly responsible for monitoring the movements of the Dutch, who had been Australia's worst enemy so far, as well as monitoring the pirates around Batavia and other European countries.
But when Zhao Deyun came to the first batch of immigrants, Liu Yun accidentally found an unknown lurker among the immigrants, so far only Yang Jian has been found, in order not to expose the geographical location of Australia, Liu Yun left him on the construction site of the Australian Embassy in Batavia to work, in order to dispel his suspicions, but also deliberately left more than a dozen other Ming immigrants.
Zhang Tianwen opened a notebook that recorded all of Yang Jian's travel records and who he had spoken to, pointed to the first one and said: "Minister, since the last time you asked us to keep an eye on him, we haven't found anything abnormal, but we found a notebook where this guy lives, and the contents of it are all recorded from Guangzhou to Batavia to his imprisonment, and this is what we copied." ”
For Zhang Tianwen, a newly joined staff member of the Department of Homeland Security, he was still very excited that he had discovered such a big secret, so when he opened the notebook and handed it to Liu Yun, his face was full of joy and seemed to want praise.
"In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, a certain sailed with a ship and arrived in Batavia, where he met Australians, who claimed to be descendants of the former Song Yashan, but after a certain observation, their dress and customs were completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty."
Looking at the records, Liu Yun read out the contents of several records, and then closed the notebook in his hand: "This Yang Jian is a powerful character, although it records all the things he observed with us and his own feelings, but he never mentioned his identity, just for fear that this book would fall into the hands of others and know his identity, but in my opinion, a qualified intelligence officer cannot have the habit of writing a diary, because it will betray you sooner or later." ”
"Minister, I suspect that Yang Jian should know that we are spying on him, so he is so cautious not to show his feet."
"Maybe you're right, you know that we're watching, but the horse's feet will definitely be exposed, it's just that you haven't found out, has there been any difference in the people he has been in contact with recently, and does he often go to the Yuelai Tavern to drink."
Liu Yun said that the Yuelai Tavern is a tavern opened by a Ming maritime merchant in Batavia, and generally the Ming people who go to Batavia like to eat and live in this tavern, and Yang Jian is the same, and it is once every two days, which seems to be a normal meal, but in fact, it may not be like that.
In those anti-Japanese war TV series, don't there be restaurants and cloth villages at the traffic stations that often appear, this practice is not only there when you are fighting against Japan, it has existed since ancient times.
"No, he didn't go these days, but stayed in his room." Zhang Tianwen replied with some confusion.
"No, you're sure, tell me who he came into contact with the other day. Liu Yun suddenly frowned as if he had discovered some secret.
Zhang Tian thought for a while and then said: "I contacted the shopkeeper, by the way, there is also a fortune teller, he found that person to tell his fortune, but I haven't seen that fortune teller before, it shouldn't be a local Chinese in Batavia." ”
That's right, you should immediately send someone to investigate the details of this fortune teller, and at the same time, you must send additional personnel at the docks to prevent him from escaping with information.
At the same time that Liu Yun asked Zhang Tianwen to start an investigation into the fortune teller with whom Yang Jian had come into contact, a middle-aged man with floating dust in one hand and a long flag in the other hand with Cyberwin written on it put things aside in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Batavia. Glancing around at a few men who were already standing at a square table, "Everyone is here." ”
"The shopkeeper has arrived." A man standing outside with a scar on his face replied.
"Okay, announce the mission now, and from tomorrow onwards, a few of you will monitor the movements of these Australian veterans," Cyberwin took out a few portraits and put them on the table, at this time, if Liu Yun and others were here, they would definitely be extremely surprised, the people on this portrait were obviously Liu Yun, Zhang Tianwen and others.
