Chapter 368: Forced to shirk responsibility

In addition, according to the report of the Asian Fleet, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy is resting at various military ports on the mainland, and many of its main ships are undergoing large-scale maintenance......

Well, this should be a preparation for the voyage that follows! Li Junhao thought.

According to the news from the Huhai Concession, Japanese businessmen were purchasing large quantities of high-count muslin, safflower oil, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, flower water, etc., and they did not know what to do.

Li Junhao knew that this was the Japanese army preparing for the southward movement to deal with the jungle environment in Southeast Asia.

Dai Xingbing of Chongqing reported that the military command had noticed the frequent movement of Japanese troops in China, and attached a list of the troops to be transferred to the telegram.

Wu Gengshu reported that the Military Command Telecommunications Office has discovered that the number of long-range telegrams sent and received by the Japanese mainland has increased greatly recently, and it is suspected that there is a large-scale operation, and is organizing capable forces to decipher it, but at present it can only be determined that Japan's navy and army have taken action, and the specific content is still unclear......

Well, that's enough! Li Junhao can now write out the analysis report based on this, but is Mr. President just like the legend in his previous life, so he can't do anything about it?

If Roosevelt had indeed deliberately allowed the attack to happen, would he have used this report as a warning, would he have been hated by him? But if this report is not written, after the attack, he, the acting intelligence director, will have to carry the cauldron!

Ha! After Li Junhao guessed various possibilities, he still calmed down, tried to recall the memories of his previous life, and combined with the existing information, he wrote this report......

——

Before the end of October, Li Junhao handed over the written analysis report to Ayers, and the rest of the matter was not up to him, let President Roosevelt do it!

After putting this problem aside, he fell into other busy work, not to mention several positions in the White House, the formation of the CIA and the supervision of the FBI were enough for him to worry about, and there were also analysis reports on the situation in the Far East and the war situation in Europe waiting for him, which was really busy!

The heaviness of these tasks makes others embarrassed to disturb him, but in fact, he is not really so busy in private, on the one hand, several of his current helpers are very capable, such as: Donovan, Wang Renqiang, Wen Qiang, Jensen, Liu Geqing, including Xiaoyu, Xiaohu, Yuri, Jackie and others, plus the supercomputer in his space allows him to work intelligently, so the work intensity is far easier than that of outsiders.

However, with the arrival of November, he sent a telegram to the Huhai Concession, asking Li Xiaoyu and Zheng Pingru to hand over the work as soon as possible. And after November, the air and sea routes from China to the United States are no longer safe.

In addition, he also informed Consul General Sheehan in Shanghai and Hobbs, commander of the Joint Command, asking them to secretly raise the defense level and reserve food, coal and other materials......

On Monday, November 3, when Lee went to the White House for a meeting, Ayres told him: The president already knows about Pearl Harbor, and the matter will end here for the time being, and don't talk about it to anyone else.

Li Junhao nodded in agreement, he knew what it meant!

After returning to the CIA, he instructed Donovan and Wen Qiang to encrypt and process information about the recent movements of the Japanese army, narrow the scope of knowledge, and sign a confidentiality agreement for anyone who could see it.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two, he didn't explain much, just asked them to carry it out.

Then, on the third day, Roosevelt met with his old classmate Donovan alone, and the two had lunch together.

On the 7th, Li Junhao did not go to work in the CIA, and National Security Adviser Ayers came to the King's Building and announced the president's order: Brigadier General Panson needs to take a temporary recuperation due to health reasons, and his duties as acting director of intelligence and director of the CIA will be suspended, and from now on, Donovan will be appointed deputy director of the CIA to temporarily preside over the work; Deputy Director Wen Qiang assists Donovan in his work.

The two obviously knew the news in advance and were not surprised, especially Donovan, who was ready to be the backstabber.

——

Li Junhao, who was forced to "recuperate" at home, was a little helpless, he didn't want to shirk his responsibilities and let others take the blame, but the president, Ayres and others did not agree, because his ability was recognized by everyone, if he was implicated and affected his future because of this matter, it was really too much!

So Roosevelt personally came forward and interviewed his old classmate Donovan and asked him to be the backstabber!

For this reason, Li Junhao also specially apologized to Donovan, who thought that he would say: This is the right way to deal with it, and it is the right thing to do to ensure that Director Pansen's resume is not flawed, which is very important for the future of the CIA! Therefore, Director Pan Sen does not need to apologize at all, he will bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty, be removed from the post of deputy director, and go back to be the director of intelligence, and he will not lose anything at all.

Of course, Li Junhao knew that everyone was trying to protect themselves, and at the same time, he was very moved, but he felt that politics was really not a thing - it was very sad and ridiculous that they had to "make mistakes" because of the isolationist sentiment that is still prevalent in the American people!

Well, now that this is the case, he can "recuperate" with peace of mind, and just take advantage of this time to look at Hoover's classified archives and know more about the secrets of this era.

——

On November 15, the last three Pan Am DC-3 passenger planes from Shanghai flew to San Francisco, and Li Xiaoyu, 15 brothers and sisters from Phoenix Village, Zheng Pingru and his father Zheng Yue, and Jiang Anhua, deputy director of the investigation department of the former Concession Police Department, set foot on American soil, and then transferred to Washington under the arrangement of the local FBI branch......

At this point, except for Major General Vaughn and Chief of Staff Yang Shixiong, who is actually in charge of the military forces of the Shanghai Concession, Li Junhao's descendants have all been transferred to the United States! No way, since he can't stay in Huhai, many of the measures originally envisaged can't be realized, and he can use this method to protect the people around him.

For Yang Shixiong, Li Junhao specifically solicited his opinion, and he said: He still needs to stay in Huhai, so that he can better coordinate and command the military forces in the concession to fight against the Japanese army...... When the war situation in Shanghai is stable, it will not be too late for him to come to the United States.

Li Junhao respected his decision and asked the other subordinates in the Huhai Concession to unite around Chief of Staff Yang and jointly maintain the situation...... When it comes to critical moments, we must give priority to protecting the safety of the chief of staff and send him out of Shanghai, and he will send someone to answer him.
