Chapter 561: The Traverser's Gamble
Seeing that Han Lin's expression seemed to be a little displeased, Hoshino Chiyo knew that his sigh for the situation had failed to arouse a trace of pity from the other party, so he quickly changed the topic, how could a strong man who could control her life and death be easily confused by her?
"You're right, the secret service in Shanghai is indeed organizing sabotage activities, Ueno Nobuo contacted the Black Dragon Society, contacted the ronin among the Japanese expatriates, they are all familiar with the situation in Shanghai, and are ready to assassinate government officials in Shanghai, sneak attack small units participating in the war, sabotage transportation lines, burn war materials, and then guide bombing and other tasks."
"In addition, the agents of the secret service in Shanghai are also using the ruffians and hooligans they have bought, preparing to do some murder, arson, poisoning water and other behaviors during the war, creating chaos in various places, I can provide a few places and a few people to help you find them." Chiyo Hoshino said.
"Very good, this is a reward of one thousand dollars, half of the reward, if the information you give is accurate enough to shorten the time and improve the efficiency of my next reconnaissance, I will give you another two thousand dollars, the higher the value of the intelligence, the more you will get." Han Lin nodded with satisfaction.
The situation that Chiyo Hoshino said is consistent with the sabotage activities secretly carried out by the enemy during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War recorded in historical sources, and it also proves that she did not lie.
Since people do their work, they should be paid, a thousand dollars does not sound like much, but it is roughly equal to three thousand three hundred fiat currency, the purchasing power is very considerable, but this money is far from enough, Han Lin knows very well in his heart that blind threats are not the way, to form a relationship of interest with the other party, anyway, this money can be reimbursed, similar to this kind of confidential information, Boss Dai has no place to buy it with money.
Han Lin opened her briefcase, took out a pen and paper, took out a thousand dollars, and pushed it in front of Chiyo Hoshino, she picked up the pen and wrote down all the information she had deliberately memorized on paper.
Such a move also means that she has taken a bigger step on the road of betrayal.
"What else do you have to explain?" Chiyo Hoshino asked, putting the dollar in his purse.
"Miss Hoshino is not a newcomer, she has a lot of professional experience, and you don't need me to explain anything, you know what to do yourself. If you perform well, you will be protected by me after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the future, and you will be sent back to Japan to reunite with your family, or you will go abroad for the rest of your life. Han Lin said.
"Do you think that the war between the empire and China will be won by the Jinling government in the end? With all due respect, the disparity in military and economic strength between the two sides is huge, and the Jinling government has been constantly seeking peace and retreating under the pressure of the empire step by step, and I do not think that the Jinling government can withstand the attack of the imperial army. ”
"You don't know what kind of powerful combat power the empire will be once it makes up its mind to go to war and mobilize the whole country to launch an attack, and it may only take a few months for the whole of China to become a Japanese colony!" Chiyo Hoshino didn't believe it.
This theory is based on the fact that there is indeed a big gap between the Jinling government and the Japanese government in terms of industry, economy, and military affairs, and this is also the consensus of many pessimists, including many high-level officials of the Jinling government, who do not believe that the final winner of the war is China.
"This is just the beginning of the war, the Jinling government must have retreated step by step at the beginning, losing a large area of territory, and I have to admit the military gap between the two sides. But as the war progresses, the casualties of the Japanese army are getting bigger and bigger, and the forces are becoming more and more dispersed, the momentum of the offensive will be curbed and it will enter the stage of confrontation! ”
"The outcome of a war is not the outcome of a battle, the outcome depends on many factors, you don't understand these, let alone a few months, even if it is a few years, it is impossible to occupy China. Many people in the Japanese military department think that victory can be achieved in a short time, and some people even think that three months is too much, do you also agree with such a theory? Han Lin asked.
"I don't dare to say it's three months, but I think that in such a long time, even if the set goals are not fully achieved, the gap will not be too big, and you should not forget that the examples of the three eastern provinces are in front of you." Chiyo Hoshino said with confidence.
She had also been a spy in China for several years, and she was accustomed to the corruption and incompetence of the Jinling government, and with the three eastern provinces as a counterpoint, her own feeling was that once the Japanese army launched a large-scale war, the result would be similar to that of the three eastern provinces.
"I'll make a bet with you, in three months, the Japanese army can occupy North China at most, and the marines of the Japanese Navy are stationed in Shanghai, and they may also encounter war, if this also becomes a battlefield, my judgment is that they can occupy Shanghai at most in three months."
"What do you think if my words don't come true, I'll give you back the photo and your surrender letter, set you free completely, and lose you $10,000?" Han Lin said with a smile.
This is a fool who is blinded by a group of fools who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, and is blinded by arrogant remarks, so just take a bet, she bets with herself, a traverser, and it is strange to be able to win the bet!
At the same time, he also wanted to use this bet to test whether Chiyo Hoshino, his only insider in the secret service, had the idea of getting rid of his control, and if so, her death was not far off.
"I don't want such freedom, just 10,000 US dollars, if the empire really breaks out a war with China, I can only occupy North China and Shanghai in three months, and then I will be your person with all my heart, and I can do whatever I want." Chiyo Hoshino accepted the bet.
A very smart woman didn't choose "freedom" as a bet, and Han Lin was still relieved about her performance for the time being.
The Yinglin Club Summer Dance Party was held on June 22.
As the war entered the countdown, Han Lin first used the intelligence of Red Rose to order the special intelligence group of Shanghai to reconnoiter the sabotage forces of the special agencies stationed in Shanghai, lock down these hidden dangers that threatened the operational security of the Jinling government, and quickly eliminate them when the war broke out.
Second, while ordering the two special service groups in the Pingjin area to monitor the increase in troops in the Pingjin area in accordance with his orders, he also gave full play to his own value, performed the "great prophecy technique," and used his special status to warn Western countries.
The dance and cocktail parties held by the Yinglin Club are the highest level of international social events in the Shanghai Concession area, and as the club gains a firm foothold, its influence is also increasing, and more and more people are seeking to join the club.
In Han Lin's eyes, people who were not aware of the coming of the war danced in the middle of the dance floor to the rhythm of the music, which formed a strong contrast with the cruel and bloody war.
