On 21 July, the Vichy government of France replied to Kato, the Japanese ambassador to France, that he had agreed to the stationing of Japanese troops in the southern part of the French Indochina region, and on 23 July, the Japanese headquarters sent to the French Indochina government began negotiations on the details of the stationing there, and an agreement was reached at 8 p.m. on the same day.

The Japanese military headquarters issued an order to the commander of the 25th Army, which set out from the port of Sanya in China on the 24th and began to station.

On 25 July, the Japanese Government specially instructed Ambassador to the United States Kichizaburo Nomura to directly inform President Roosevelt of Japan's intention to enter the southern part of the French Indochina region, asking him to explain the reasons for the stationing and to stress that Japan will always strive to improve the diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States, which are currently being negotiated.

Office of the Adviser to the Directorate of Naval Intelligence.

"Your intelligence has once again been accurately verified, and this morning, Japan's ambassador to the United States, Kichizaburo Nomura, informed President Roosevelt that Japan would be stationing troops in the southern part of the French Indochina region, and I received information that the Presidential Office has ordered the freezing of Japanese assets in the United States, and that Canada, Great Britain and the Dutch East Indies will take the same measures."

"If it is confirmed that the Japanese army has indeed landed in the southern part of the French Indochina region, then our US government will cut off the oil trade with Japan, and Britain and the Dutch East Indies will be in line with the United States, and the question now is, what kind of reaction will Japan make?" Sauls said.

"For the time being, the Japanese government has no more reaction than to continue negotiations, and Japan itself does not want to go to war with the United States, and the current strategy is to focus on negotiations, but the relationship between the two countries has reached the most critical crossroads through this matter."

"Either Japan accepts the conditions of the US government, which is impossible, or the United States accepts Japan's conditions, which is also impossible, and when negotiations can no longer solve the problem, that is when war breaks out." Han Lin said.

"On behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Admiralty and the Naval Intelligence Bureau, I would like to thank Mr. Han Lin for his important contributions during this time, through your combing and analysis, we have made a great breakthrough in the intelligence of Japan, I hope you will return to China and continue to collect intelligence on the Japanese side, we have high trust in your ability, and your efforts will be rewarded enough."

"From now on, you will have your own exclusive liaison team in the Naval Intelligence Bureau, and I have approved the gift of a batch of high-power radios to you, guaranteeing that you can get in touch with me directly, and I will pay you the cost of the intelligence through the naval attaché at the embassy."

"I'm going to invite you to have dinner tonight, and tomorrow morning you'll be taken to Los Angeles to reunite with your family, and when you leave, the plane will take off to Port City, and hopefully in the future, you'll be able to go to the Naval Intelligence Office often, even if it's just one month a year." Sauls said.

The current heat is not yet in time, and the US war machine is not yet fully operational, so Han Lin will not continue to seek assistance, and when the war breaks out, it will be much easier to operate.

He has already made up his mind to put an end to the notorious Special Technical Cooperation Institute in his own hands, and in the future, he will try by all means to come to the United States to expand his contacts, which is tantamount to completely cutting off the possibility of cooperation between the Military Control Bureau and the US Navy.

On August 1, the United States stopped oil trade with Japan, and Britain and the Netherlands followed suit, and Han Lin wrote a report on his work during this period at his home in Los Angeles.

Three days later, I boarded the plane, passed through Honolulu, Midway, Wake Island, Guam, arrived in Manila, and then arrived in Port City, and then rushed from Port City to Mountain City, encountered the weather in the middle, and rested for a day in Port City, let the attachés visit Port City, buy some things, and when the plane landed at Jiulongpo Airport, it was already mid-August.

"Thank you boss!"

A large group of female spies cheered, scrambling for the gifts that Han Lin had brought from the United States.

Women, they just like cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, and other things, this time in the United States is not short, Han Lin naturally will not forget to bring some gifts back to his boss and subordinates, and he has not forgotten the two sisters of the Kong family, but of course the gifts of the second miss are different, and she doesn't like the things used by women.

"Boss, we haven't gone abroad yet, when will you take us to the United States?" Liu Nina asked, hugging Han Lin's arm.

"In the future, there will be an opportunity, I will try to go there once a year, and you should be prepared yourself, at least you must speak English well, understand some American customs and lifestyles, and don't go to the United States stupidly and don't know anything."

"It's just that the war is about to break out, and the United States is not a paradise, just have an experience, it's not as good as you think, and most places are not as good as Shanghai!" Han Lin said.

"Boss Dai called twice to ask when you would come back, but it was unfortunate that you were still in the United States, which may have something to do with the recent destruction of Shanghai City." Cao Jiandong said.

"In the past two months, the military command of the Shanghai urban area is like a mess, I can't figure it out at all, and some agents have been arrested, but Chen Gongshu and Qi Qingbin have no effective strategy so far, and the situation is constantly deteriorating. Jin Minjie brought a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Han Lin.

"Don't worry about him for now, I'm not a god who rejuvenates with a wonderful hand, I can't cure the illness of the Military Command Bureau, the news of my return will soon reach his ears, if he is in a hurry, he will call me tomorrow." Han Lin shook his head and said.

"There are two situations that need to be reported immediately, one is the top-secret message from An Yanjiang's team, Red Rose has got the news, I hope you will contact her as soon as you return. Second, the military intelligence report sent by our Hankou station said that the Japanese 11th Army was assembling and planning to launch a second large-scale attack on Tanzhou, and the Military Intelligence Department of the Ninth Theater also sent relevant news one after another. Cao Jiandong said.

"Red Rose wants to see me? This is really a troublesome matter, I just came back from the United States and am going to Shanghai again, sooner or later I will be tossed to death, forget it, let's go on a trip, there is no trivial matter in intelligence work, since she wants to contact me, there must be something important, but I have to slow down and wait for two days to go. Han Lin said.

"Why didn't she make it clear to An Yangjiang?" Cao Jiandong was very puzzled.

"An Yangjiang's team has been monitoring and tracking the work of the advisory department of the special high school in Shanghai for a long time, and she has limited knowledge of other things, and she has no way to grasp the situation. Han Lin said.

Red Rose, as the inside line of the second section of the advisory department, will not easily contact herself, since she brought it up, there must be extremely important information.

Although she wanted to vomit when she was on the plane, Han Lin still decided to secretly go to Shanghai to meet her, and some situations were not clear through the radio. A small mistake may affect the overall situation, so he said that intelligence work is no trivial matter, and his value embodiment and status growth, as well as the trust of the superiors, are also slowly piled up by one achievement after another.
