A calm and determined Ula voice.

The T34 tank was the first to drive past Lenin's tomb through the ice and snow. This was followed by heavy artillery and cavalry units. From here, these troops will go directly to the battlefield to collect the blood debt from the Germans who have so far been invincible. However, the most critical information of Sorge Oqi's group was not sent out in time, and it may have been only one day away. However, the disturbance of history is destined to be magnified here.

Winter is certainly a traditional ally of the Russians, but the sudden drop in temperatures will inevitably freeze the muddy roads, and it is not entirely bad news for the German tanks that are currently stuck in the mire, and they will find a way forward again. Stalin had been oscillating between two fears, close at hand and far away in Northeast Asia. He did not fully trust Zhukov's judgment, so he specifically asked Marshal Voroshilov in Leningrad, and the first secretary of Ukraine, Khrushchev, who had just fled back to Moscow from Kiev, and the marshal believed that since Frederick the Great, the Germans had never launched a winter offensive, and they did not have such military traditions, so the attack on Moscow would drag on until about April next year; Khrushchev, on the other hand, had a more direct view, arguing that for every 10 degrees of cooling, the Germans would be half as weak as their attack. By next spring, more than half of the horses that the Germans had delivered to feed would freeze to death, and that would be an opportunity for a Soviet counteroffensive. These opinions from the marshals who have been absent from the battle camp for a long time and the political workers who talk about the war on paper are all rash and one-sided. Stalin, in his hesitation, decided to use a compromise method to first transfer back a few divisions from the Far East, of course, this method of refueling flew as far as Zhukov wanted.

U.S. Embassy in Japan, Akasaka, Tokyo.

In the office of Ambassador Joseph Guru, all the curtains were drawn, and the ambassador hid here alone, carefully reading the reports collected from all parts of Japan, and he had to report to Washington after gathering all kinds of information.

Since it is difficult to determine whether there are bugs nearby, or whether there are ears on the partition wall (some Japanese cooks and servants are still employed in the embassy), whenever it comes to important matters, discussion is avoided and the ambassador himself analyzes the information. In a way, his duties are close to that of a publicly identified spy.

"The Japanese fleet near Saeki Bay is being assembled for possible annual exercises. It is also possible to enter the Seto Inland Sea via Toyogo to take shelter from the wind. Before the 10th, all capital ships were sighted at least once. Sailors took turns to go ashore on leave, appearing in various places. No signs were found that the enemy fleet could attack the Philippines to the south. From the sailors, it was also not known that the enemy was dispensing anti-malarial drugs. ”

The information is somewhat vague, and before November 10, all capital ships were there; It doesn't mean that it's still there, but the Japanese have always been good at attacking the east and the west, and the Guru, who is well versed in history, knows this.

He put the note in the ashtray and struck a match to burn it. Then take out the second piece of paper. This is an urgent report from the Consulate in Kobe.

"Our place may have been invaded by spies, and the safe where the codebook was placed showed signs of being opened, probably on the night of the 8th, and the codebook was still in place. It is advisable to use the new diplomatic cipher in advance. ”

The Americans were cautious and used special safes, which recorded the time every time they were opened, and the Japanese spies probably did not anticipate this. In any case, the codebook must be replaced in advance, and the new codebook in the Tokyo embassy has not yet been issued to other consulates and is still insured. Of course, the old password can also send some ordinary things, which can play a certain paralyzing effect on the eavesdropper.

The ambassador burned the second message, and the third came from the Peruvian minister in Japan, who was often considered one of his own by the Japanese high-level because he was a quarter of his Japanese descent and could speak Japanese very well. For this reason, the Americans paid off an attaché next to the Peruvian minister.

"The Minister Office has learned that a senior general of the military department said that if there is friction between the United States and Japan, the primary goal of the Japanese fleet is to completely annihilate the US Pacific Fleet."

If the U.S. fleet were to be annihilated, the Japanese were supposed to cross half the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii, but that would be too risky to succeed. He opened the last one, from the Xiuce Drilling Equipment Company, whose cooperation with the Japanese was still bleakly maintained.

"The Imperial Oil Company of Japan has proposed to us the intention of new drilling equipment and accessories, and the younger brother of the new Minister of Commerce and Industry has personally gone to our company for consultations; Due to the vague description of the parts item in the August 26 sanctions agreement, it is hoped that the embassy will contact Washington. Get accurate explanations. ”

Ambassador Guru sneered, of course, the order of the Theseus company does not need to be thought about, the president is strangling Japan with an oil noose, how is it possible to export drilling equipment, spare parts are also impossible. However, there is also a side to his concern, he knows that the Japanese have infiltrated Standard Oil's headquarters in Shanghai not long ago, and he does not know if there is a connection between the two events. The United States has never recognized the puppet state of Manchukuo, so it is not possible to conduct intelligence activities in the region through cultural activities, so the Japanese are really still a mystery about how much oil they have there.

After all the individually reported information was burned, he went to the basement and activated the new codebook and began to send back a short message.

Cipher No. 126:

We have learned from important sources that if the United States and Japan go to war, Japan's primary target is likely to be Hawaii. Japan's oil drilling activities in northeast China, it is unknown whether there has been a harvest.

For other news, he still sends it with the old password, so that the Japanese have an addiction to eavesdropping. According to his common sense, the nationalist tendencies in Japanese society are already difficult to contain, and a military showdown is a matter of time.

Project 419 submarines, abandoning surveillance of the combined fleet, secretly approached Tokyo Bay.

In the morning, a telegram from the American Embassy was intercepted, which could not be deciphered for the time being, and this kind of matter could not be rushed, and in time enough samples had been collected, it could be deciphered.

For 419, the content is inconsequential, it is nothing more than the ambassador's own judgment. Then they intercepted some of the messages sent by the old cipher, including Japan's intention to continue the purchase of American drilling equipment. This matter can only be thrown to Lin Xiuxuan, and no one can share it.

The main task of 419 at present is to quickly grasp the frequency and mode of communication of the Japanese military headquarters to issue orders to various units. Sasebo's Pintail Messenger Office has been busiest lately, sending misleading misinformation all day long, such as the Army's need to add four divisions of winter clothing and a request to transfer fuel for tanks in the cold zone.

Chiba's Funabashi is exceptionally quiet, except that several communication tests are conducted every day with the Nagato near Kyushu, using medium-wave and short-wave, about 10 or so channels, which are the official communications in the future, as well as backup channels.

After the drone took off, it detected and located the communication facilities of the bridge and found that it was very close to the sea, less than 300 meters from the coast. It is not far from the place where Lin Xiuxuan and the deputy captain landed last time. As a result of the last landing, it was discovered that there were army units nearby, and this time optical reconnaissance was especially intensified.

The reconnaissance easily spotted the signal-emitting tower on the commanding heights, and the cement bunker building below, which, as expected, was very loosely guarded, with a fence and an area of about 10 hectares, and observed a patrol of 2 people, estimated to be no more than twenty enemies. There are also no residents in the vicinity of the communication center. Compared with the Longtan Tiger's Den seen in Shanghai, it is simply child's play.

However, there is an army academy 1 km away, and the last time I came, I only saw artillery, but this time I was able to do it, and I actually practiced tank chemical warfare at the exercise ground. The Japanese used the Type 97 tank as a vehicle for spraying poison and decontamination. If there is a movement in the action, the enemy coming from here will arrive within 10 minutes.

While the drone was reconnoitring in circles, it also took the time to discover the Abukuma light cruiser that was secretly heading north from 100 kilometers east of Tokyo, and 20 kilometers behind, it was the battle cruiser Hiei, 419 steps behind, and the Japanese mobile unit was heading north in batches, heading to Shan Guan Bay. Lin Xiuxuan's heart was a little calmer, no matter what, the Japanese still dispatched on time. That is, the three traversers have not yet been able to stop the war. He was planning his plans. Before December 2, it was necessary to land here with men and set up an ambush. As a backup plan, 419 followed the Japanese fleet to Hawaii alone, and if he failed here, 419 could still use drones to send a war order to the Japanese fleet. Of course, there are two difficulties with planning. First, how to blame the Japanese young Zhuang soldiers. Second, how to get out after completing the plan.

He had acquired a number of Japanese weapons, including some cavalry* and pistols, with which traces of civil strife could be created. But it will be more difficult to get out, because by then, 419 will be 6,000 kilometers away. So he had to quickly move to the mountains east of Chiba with his squad, but this was the enemy's lair, and there was no room for error.

He was frowning, and the walkie-talkie on his waist rang, and it was He Ming looking for him. He got up and left, and went to the back to find He Ming. The equipment for the landing has already been prepared, first of all, a modified southern pistol, which is now ready for use *. The Type 38 carbine is equipped with a bracket that allows for the installation of scopes or night vision devices. There is also a digital radio station, but there is no guarantee of contact with 419, which is thousands of kilometers away. Although it only takes one ionospheric reflection to reach a distance of 5,000 km, shortwave communication is very unstable. The Japanese used a high-power transmitter made in Germany for their communication equipment at Funabashi, and the power was conservatively estimated to be more than 2 kilowatts.

"And these," He Ming took a box with a row of dart-like things side by side.

"Is it a poison needle?"

"Yes, one-tenth of a second kills, with the level of science and technology in this era, whether it is human anatomy or pathological examination, it is useless, it looks like sudden death, the pinhole is very small, and it can't be found at all, you can also wipe it on the knife, and kill people to cut some skin."

"Yes, it's the way I dreamed of it before." Lin smiled bitterly, as if he was laughing at himself.

"You're still worried about the retreat?"

"yes, conservatively estimated, it will take 419 10 days to come back to pick us up. During this time we had to hide in the mountains of Japan. ”

"There's still some gold left over from the last time you got, maybe you can use it."
