Episode 52 Who is Japan staring at?

The arrest operation was soon over. The nine people told by Koji Sakamoto were arrested, but no one ran away. When the agent entered Takayama's house to capture him, Takayama seemed very calm. He also invited the agents to have tea, then sat on the sofa and smoked, watching the agents searching his house.

The search quickly turned out. Many hidden and perfect professional spy equipment were searched one by one and taken one by one.

Lighter cameras, mini films, and secretly written potions can quickly swallow melted rice pulp paper, cyanide pills, transmitter antennas hidden in the chimney, transmitters hidden in the ceiling, and several large kraft paper bags hidden under the floor... More importantly, a password book was found.

Facing the bed of evidence, Gao Shan still seemed calm. He just glanced at him, nodded, signed the search record, and then walked to the living room to smoke.

A prosecutor accompanied the agent to arrest him. The prosecutor looked at him and said coldly:

"Mr. Takayama Jiro, you are now suspected of illegally entering the country, forging your identity, and illegally possessing state confidential documents. You will be arrested. Please sign a letter on it."

Jiro Takayama held a cigarette in his mouth, looked down at the arrest warrant, took a fountain pen and signed the word "Takayama". Then, he stretched out his hands.

The prosecutor handcuffed him "click". The agent behind him put on his coat and several people pushed him downstairs.

When passing by the lobby of the apartment, an agent glanced at the apartment phone and said inadvertently:

"Oh by the way, Mr. Takayama, you have the right to make a call now."

Jiro Takayama pondered for a moment and walked to the phone. As soon as he took the receiver, the prosecutor rushed up in three steps and two steps, pressed it on the phone, and said sternly:

"Listen! You can only call the lawyer, no one else can do it!"

Jiro Takayama rolled his eyes, slowly lowered his earpiece, and said slowly:

"Forget it, I don't have a lawyer, nor do I have money to hire a lawyer. Come back, you can assign me one."

The two agents next to them looked at each other, and were so angry that they were so angry that they were smoking. They stared at the prosecutor fiercely, hoping to eat him. They were waiting for Gaoshan to call places like the Japanese embassy, ​​and the apartment phone was also installed. As long as the dialogue between the two sides was recorded, it could be used as evidence. As long as the Japanese government did not admit it, the Ming Dynasty could take the tape to the League of Nations and play it. This was equivalent to becoming a card for the Ming Dynasty in diplomacy. As long as they were willing, they could play it at any time.

Now, all of them are asked to destroy the conscientious prosecutors. They have learned one more lesson from now on. If something happens like this next time, they will definitely be happy with the judicial people in advance.

...

The intelligence community of the Ming Empire was immersed in a state of tension and excitement. This is a major case that has not been seen for many years. The day after Takayama Jiro was arrested, he has been silent. The security team of the People's Guard, which was responsible for the interrogation, did not receive instructions from Xiang Xiaoqiang, and did not dare to "be tough" him. Xiang Xiaoqiang was not sure in his heart. He did not know how important the case of Takayama was, and should squeeze out his intelligence value or his political value. If it really rose to the height of "political value", it would be very likely that a public trial would be conducted. If that was the case, it would have to be handled with caution. Torturing would definitely be impossible.

Whether to play him as a political card involves the current Ming Dynasty's relationship with Japan is even more complicated.

In addition to Gaoshan, the interrogation of the other eight people has made varying degrees of progress. According to the confessions of these eight people, twenty-six people were arrested one after another within two days. This is the largest spy case cracked by the Ming Dynasty after the last "Pukou Beiqing Spy List" incident.

The interrogation of these more than 30 spies was quite smooth and there was no need to be sluggish. Several counter-espionage departments adopted joint cross-examination. The spies lurked in the administrative departments and the East Factory were interrogated by the People's Guard. The spies lurked in the army and the Navy were interrogated by the People's Guard and the Jinyiwei. The spies lurked in the People's Guard and the Jinyiwei were interrogated by the East Factory to prevent any possibility of tampering and letting go.

On the third day after Koji Sakamoto surrendered, the interrogation reports were already piled up in front of the fourteenth princess’ desk.

At this time, both the Dongchang, the Jinyiwei, and the People's Guard gradually felt the same-

It seems that what Japan is more interested in is not the information of the Ming army, but the information about the deployment of the Soviet army.

Of course, it is not that Japan is not interested in the deployment of the Ming army, but of course it is also very interested. However, based on the confessions of these more than 30 people and the information searched from their residences and has not been sent out, this conclusion can be clearly drawn: Japan is much more interested in the news about the Soviet army than in the Ming army.

This spy network is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and these spies were also recruited in the Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, the chances of collecting Ming army intelligence were much greater than those of collecting Soviet army intelligence. However, judging from the seizure of confidential documents and photos, only half of the information involving the Ming army was accounted for, and they were relatively casual, and they seemed to have little purpose. It seemed that they were all "stolen by the way". However, the Soviet army intelligence was also collected by the Ming intelligence agencies from the Soviet Union. They were rarely, but now they accounted for such a large proportion of these spies.

This also confirms a common confession of these spies: Shangfeng told them that the information about the Ming army could only be stolen if it was encountered extremely importantly. As long as the information about the Soviet army was encountered, no matter what the content was, it would be stolen. Accept everything in detail.

One piece of information aroused the great interest of the fourteen princesses.

"Xiaoqiang, look," she placed a large washed photo in front of Xiang Xiaoqiang with a relaxed smile on her face, "Do you know where this is?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked down. This is an aerial photo. It was taken by the reconnaissance plane from the air. It was not very clear and had many reflections. However, it looked like a military port with several warships anchored. He raised his head and asked:

“Where is this?”

"Vladivostok," said the fourteenth princess, "that is, Vladivostok, the main base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet."

"oh!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was surprised, lowered his head again, and looked at the photo carefully.

The fourteenth princess continued to laugh:

"This photo was taken by our reconnaissance aircraft. After a second remake, of course, it was taken by a Japanese spy with a small camera and made into microfilm. The microfilm was hidden in a hollow coin. We discovered it when we searched. They were hungry for information about the Soviet army and were collecting from all channels, not even aerial photos. - Japan is closer to Vladivostok than us, so they can also send reconnaissance aircraft. However, even if we took it, they still want to take it to see it."

Xiang Xiaoqiang touched his chin and hesitated:

"Then... what do you think?"

The fourteenth princess smiled and said:

"Xiaoqiang, this shows that Japan is more interested in the Soviet Union, not the Ming Dynasty."

"ah."

Nodded to Xiaoqiang, no comment.

After a while, he let out a sigh of relief and said:

"Afang, I understand your mood... Now things seem to be moving in the direction you want... Japan intends to attack the Soviet Union, not us. Not only will Japan and Ming dynasties not only won't fight, but they may also become allies... so you feel very relaxed and happy."

The fourteenth princess was stunned, then shook her head and smiled:

"Look, you're sensitive again. Tell you, it has nothing to do with my background. Even Chen Rongxuan will come to the same conclusion. On the contrary, should your deep-seated "enemy Japanese" complex be loosened? Haha..."

Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled and then pondered:

"Then you say that since Japan is so close to Vladivostok, it is very convenient to take reconnaissance planes and submarines by yourself, so why do you still steal our photos?"

The fourteenth princess smiled slightly, as if he was expected to ask this, and smiled:

"Three reasons. First, the person who stole the photo was the little spy below, and his command from the peak was 'regardless of the content, as long as the information about the Soviet Union was stolen', and he naturally would not let this photo go. Second, although Japan is very close to Vladivostok, the two countries have not had any evil spirits. Unlike us now, we are already fighting wars, and we are just not declaring war. We can send reconnaissance planes to the Soviet Union every day without any scruples, but Japan is not so convenient. Besides, if Japan intends to attack sneakily, if Japan intends to attack, it is not so convenient. The Soviet Union must have had to disguise himself before and not expose his feet. If the reconnaissance force is the same as ours, it is easy to expose the intention of war. Third, the number of ships, types, shore defense arrangements, and garrison troops in a military port are constantly changing. Our photo was taken in May, and even if Japan took a photo of Vladivostok in June, it may not have been in May. If Japan wants to make a comprehensive and detailed analysis, it will naturally want to do it. This is very normal."

Xiang Xiaoqiang half opened his mouth and looked at the thrilling fourteenth princess, one was speechless. However, his fourteenth princess still couldn't convince him, and he always felt that Japan must have no good intentions.

Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at the calendar and it was already mid-June. In formal history, on July 7, the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full swing. It took a few days.

He felt unreasonable panic in his heart. Although he knew that this historical time and space had been distorted and it was impossible to come according to the regular schedule. However, he stared at the calendar and always felt that there was a time bomb moving in his heart, as if it would explode as soon as it arrived on July 7, 1937.
