Chapter 782: A Solo Performance
Office of the International Intelligence Unit of the Second Division of the Chamberlain.
"Congratulations to the deputy team leader for his great contribution to the Shancheng government!"
Guan Shiming, Chu Haoqing, Sun Teng, and Zhang Xiaofeng, four international intelligence staff officers, saw Han Lin enter the room, and hurriedly stood up and saluted. Their eyes were full of admiration and admiration, and their own deputy team leader was a legend in the intelligence community of the mountain city government.
The rules in the attendant room are strict, and the deputy team leader is the deputy team leader, and they must not be called the team leader, because the team leader is Chen Yanhe and concurrently, and they dare not erase the deputy word.
"Sit down, I'm going to Shanghai to collect intelligence during this time, do you have any more important intelligence work to deal with?" Han Lin asked.
"Deputy team leader, the international intelligence sources of our Shancheng government are divided into three parts, the first is the intelligence sent by the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is mainly used by embassies in various countries to collect real-time political, economic, military, cultural and other real-time dynamics of the countries where they are located, as well as international news."
"The second piece is the intelligence collected by the Central Bureau of Unified Information and the Military Unified Bureau, which is small in quantity and mostly hearsay, and basically has no reference value. The third piece is the intelligence you have collected in your own diplomatic activities, which is currently the main channel for the Military Commission to obtain international intelligence, formulate diplomatic strategies and judge the international situation. ”
"At present, what we are most concerned about is that the Ministry of Finance has applied for a loan totaling $75 million from the U.S. government, secured by the unused balance of the 50,000-ton tin ore and tung oil loans. Chu Haoqing said.
"Because the U.S. Congress has restrictions on the amount of loans from the U.S. Export-Import Bank, a country's annual loan amount cannot exceed $30 million." Guan Shiming added.
"It is impossible for the Treasury Department to borrow $75 million, and without taking into account the national conditions of the United States, there is no way for the US government to circumvent the restrictions of the US Congress and give a loan of up to $20 million for such a large-scale loan."
"I have collected a copy of the relevant situation of the US Congress, the US Government and the Treasury Department from the Shanghai Market on the loan to the Shancheng government, you should carefully look at my notes, write a reference for me, and tomorrow I will attend the meeting of the Military Commission, and it will be delivered to the gate of the Military Commission on time at seven o'clock."
"The current situation in Europe is chaotic, most countries will be involved in the war, our international intelligence group is mainly to provide intelligence reference for the Yamashiro government, therefore, from now on, our work will mainly be transferred to the United States and Japan, and the intelligence of the European side will be listed as secondary, if the situation changes, I will adjust the direction of research in time." Han Lin took out a notebook and said.
It was his own private notebook, which recorded arguably the most authoritative confidential information Smith had obtained from the Bureau of Naval Intelligence on the loan.
The four staff officers looked at the notebook in front of them, they were still having a headache about how to find information, but they didn't expect that their deputy team leader had actually taken into account the problem of loans and inquired about the latest internal situation, which also showed that the deputy team leader had quite deep connections in the United States.
At 7:15 a.m. on September 6, the Military Commission of the Yamashiro Government was stationed.
"How's your preparation?" After Chen Yanji got out of the car, he saw Han Lin smoking in the yard.
"Director, I have divided the information I have collected in Shanghai into three parts, first of all, the causes, process and impact of the war in Europe, the second is the real-time dynamics of the United States, which also includes the issue of the Shancheng government seeking loans, and finally a series of actions of Wang Jingwei's traitor gang in Shanghai and the dynamics of Japan."
"You take a look at these three materials, review the content and details, and draw out the key points, after all, today is a special discussion on the world war, what can be said and what cannot be said, and it is good to know what you can't say." Han Lin said, handed Chen Yan and a cigarette, lit it for him, and said.
"There's still plenty of time, come with me!" Chen Yanji did not shirk.
For such an important meeting, he is usually the recorder, and Han Lin, as today's main speaker, must be strict with the topics and content involved.
At eight o'clock, the meeting began on time, and all the military and political officials of the Military Committee of the Shancheng Government and the Executive Yuan attended the meeting, including Dai Li and Xu Enzeng, Chen Yanhe, as the recorder of the meeting, and two stenographers.
There was a world map hanging in the conference room as an auxiliary tool for Han Lin.
In the first two-and-a-half-hour session, Han Lin focused on the complex relations and chaos of various countries before World War II, focusing on the alliance between Germany and Italy, the non-aggression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, the isolationism and war avoidance sentiment of the United States, the reaction of Britain and France and the subsequent development direction of the war in Poland, and then the contradictions between Japan and Germany.
The people present were all elites of the Shancheng government, and of course they all knew about these countries, but when they heard Han Lin explain the intelligence of the European war to the world map, they still felt that the information they had was not enough.
Fortunately, Han Lin explained more clearly, and also explained the historical relationship between the countries of World War I, World War II was greatly affected by World War I, and the contradictions and conflicts of World War I continued to World War II.
In addition, the causes and consequences of the Soviet Union's sending troops into Poland have been carefully interpreted, otherwise although some people know about the Polish-Soviet war, it is not so clear what happened to the "Riga Peace Treaty" signed by the two countries.
In the second meeting, which lasted an hour and a half, Han Lin told the people present about the congress held by Wang Jingwei's traitor gang in Shanghai and submitted a list of traitors.
Then he talked about the change of Japanese prime minister and the attitude and tendencies of Nobuyuki Abe's cabinet, including the conflict of interests between the current puppet restoration government, the puppet provisional government, and the Wang puppet government, and the contradiction between Japan's Central China Dispatch Army and the North China Front Army.
The most important thing is that the Japanese 11th Army, which is about to launch a large-scale attack on Tanzhou in the middle of this month.
The morning was basically Han Lin's own performance, his mouth was dry, he didn't even drink a glass of water, and the treatment he got was that he was fortunate to be named by President Jiang to have lunch at the same table, in the canteen of the military commission station.
There is no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are people sitting in the lobby who eat with all the staff of the Military Commission, a bowl of big pot dishes per person, and rice steamed buns are at will.
"This time, you have swollen the faces of the Military Command Bureau and the Central Command Bureau, the Central Command Bureau and the Military Command Bureau have lost troops in Shanghai, a large number of agents have been arrested, and the latent organization has been seriously damaged. Chen Yanji said with a smile.
After eating, he and Han Lin ran out to smoke and chat a few words by the way.
"Director, don't say that, the secret service is just a small department trying to survive in the gap between the Military Command Bureau and the Central Command Bureau, and this word has reached the ears of Boss Dai and Boss Xu, I'm afraid that my body is thin and I can't bear this kind of pressure." Han Lin said with a smile.
"No matter how much power they have, they can't control the head of the secret service, the commission has already said, the work on my side is too heavy, the international intelligence team asked you to be the team leader, the attendant room is very strict, there will be no deputy team leader for the time being, you have been out on business for a long time, you can add an office staff." Chen Yanji said.
