Hall 3 of the Shancheng Branch of the Yinglin Club.

The venue was a buffet with dozens of Western pastries and fruits, accompanied by music, and some foreigners danced on the dance floor, with the club's waitress who had been receiving high standards of dance training and English learning.

Hall 1 is a place to host large-scale social activities, which can accommodate 1,000 people, Hall 2 can accommodate 300 people, which is a medium-sized reception venue, and Hall 3 can only accommodate 100 people.

Han Lin specially held a small reception for experts and technicians from the US Naval Intelligence Agency who had come from afar, and diplomatic personnel from the US Embassy in Shancheng were also present.

This time, the instructor corps was very large, with as many as 18 instructors and more than 10 other staff members, both men and women, and some of them translators.

The U.S. ambassador in the mountain town is named Jensen, and the embassy was officially opened in September last year.

"This time, I came to China as an instructor on the order of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, and I also brought thanks and greetings from the government, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Admiralty Department to Mr. Han!"

"We, the U.S. side, highly value Mr. Han's outstanding contributions to U.S. intelligence work since he cooperated with the U.S. Naval Intelligence Agency, and are happy to carry out more in-depth cooperation with Mr. Han's intelligence department. Said the leader of the instructor corps, intelligence expert Colonel Jesses.

This time, he came to support Han Lin's special training class, not only brought a large number of new equipment and military materials, as well as weapons and ammunition, but also brought a large amount of additional funds.

"On behalf of the Yamashiro government, I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have traveled thousands of miles to China to support our intelligence work and provide equipment and technology. Our country is under the threat of war by the Japanese invaders, and the conditions in all respects are relatively simple, and there are places where hospitality is not good. Han Lin said with a smile.

Although this group of instructors was hired by him through personal connections, the activities of foreign intelligence officers in China are also a major event.

Han Lin submitted an application to President Jiang through Director Chen, and after getting approval, he took the person to Shancheng and held a reception, so he said that he represented the Shancheng government.

After the polite words were spoken, they entered the regular chatting time, and several main leaders found a table in the corner and sat down.

"Mr. Han's club, the environment and facilities are higher than I imagined, I think it is very high-end international club level, the performance of the service staff is very professional, the English level is very fluent, there is no problem in conversation, I will allocate a fee to the club every month, and if there is a social event in the embassy, it will also be placed in your club." Jensen said.

This club is in a remote mountain city, although it is the wartime capital of the mountain city government, but the general environment cannot be compared with the previous Jinling, and it is even more incomparable with Shanghai, but in a hurry, it is not easy for Han Lin to build such a high-end social place.

The area is very spacious, the decoration is a typical European royal palace style, luxurious but noble and elegant, sofas, tables, tableware, wine glasses and items, basically imported from Europe, giving him a very familiar feeling.

This is not a government reception place for the Shancheng government, it was built by Han Lin himself, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, and Han Lin's club was profitable.

"Thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for your recognition and support, my original intention in opening the club is to create a good place for social activities to serve the diplomatic institutions and diplomatic personnel of various countries in the mountain city, and to enhance understanding and cooperation. This time, I would like to invite you to come here to welcome the experts of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, and second, I would like to inform you in advance of the news and take measures as soon as possible. Han Lin said.

"Mr. Han, please speak." Jensen's expression immediately became serious.

"I have received top-secret information that the Japanese Government, in order to end the war and force the Yamashiro Government to surrender, has decided to carry out a long-term strategic bombing of Yamashiro, and the day before yesterday my intelligence shows that the Japanese naval aviation has been stationed at the Jiangcheng airfield, and has 72 Type 96 Type 22 long-range shore-based bombers, and the date of the first round of intensive bombing is about the beginning of May."

"On the 1st of May, the embassy will quickly evacuate personnel and equipment to other places, and I can provide a relatively safe temporary address, and the ambassador will not suspect the vileness and shamelessness of the Japanese, and this bombing will be an indiscriminate bombing." Han Lin said.

At present, the U.S. Embassy in Shancheng is located in Liziba on the riverside, and the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Tutura is still parked on the riverside, and it was not until the outbreak of the Pacific War that it moved to a new address.

"Bombing the diplomatic offices of a third country is a shameless act, and if the Japanese military really does this, it will seriously threaten the lives and property of US diplomats and infringe on US interests in China, and I will explain this to the US government." Jensen said.

In fact, he did not believe that the Japanese army dared to brazenly bomb the US embassy, because the Japanese army's steel and oil, as well as a large amount of war materials, were highly dependent on imports from the United States, infringing on US interests in China, and not in line with Japan's interests.

"Mr. Ambassador, I suggest that you heed Mr. Han's warning and evacuate the embassy personnel in time, his intelligence has never made a single mistake, and our years of intelligence cooperation have proved his strong ability in intelligence gathering." Colonel Jesses said.

"Not only the U.S. Embassy, but also the U.S. Embassy, but also the U.K., France, and the Soviet Union, including Germany, which is getting closer to Japan, will also be bombed. Han Lin said.

He could see that the US ambassador was aware that Japan was highly dependent on the United States and did not dare to attack the US diplomatic institutions, but the facts would sober him up.

"Does Mr. Han think that Japan and Germany have the possibility of an alliance?" Jesses asked.

"It's too early to say this, Japan is also a country that sees the wind and rudder, and I just got the news that Germany and Italy will sign a military alliance treaty in about late May, and negotiations are currently underway, so the prelude to a world war is about to begin." Han Lin said.

"Mr. Han, do you think it is possible for Germany to attack the Soviet Union?" Jesses asked.

"Of course it is possible, but the current Germany is not sure, Hitler will not start a war against the Soviet Union first, I estimate that the connivance policy adopted by Britain and France will eventually brew the bitter fruit, and they themselves will eat the bitter fruit."

"Germany is not ready for war at the moment, on the one hand, it needs to seek an alliance, on the other hand, it also needs to solve the Soviet Union behind it, my prediction is that the time limit of one year will be advanced at any time, and I will learn more about the specific news through my own intelligence channels." Han Lin said.
