Wang Changling hurried from the Zhonghuamen Ministry of National Defense to the Presidential Palace in a car. He didn't care that it was already late at night and hurriedly asked the attendant to inform Wu Shaoting.

Wu Shaoting had just rested in bed, but fortunately he had not fallen asleep yet. After receiving the notice from the attendant, he had to wear thick pajamas to the president's office downstairs to meet Wang Changling.

"There is an accident at Tokyo Intelligence Station." After closing the office door, Wang Changling said hurriedly.

"What? What's going on?" Wu Shaoting immediately became energetic and asked in a silence.

"The specific reason is not clear, but the Ministry of Defense is conducting an assessment. It is estimated that it should not be an internal rumor, otherwise it would be impossible to disclose the arrest operation in advance. It should be just an accident. The agents of the Tokyo Intelligence Station are evacuating *** according to the evacuation plan. I am arranging the reception work. The Embassy in Japan sent a telegram to inform us that the Japanese side may have arrested two agents." Wang Changling explained.

Wu Shaoting thought about it. If the spy was really arrested, it would be a big or small thing, especially now at a critical period of the Sino-Japanese conflict. The *** side might have made a lot of momentum on this matter. However, during the Sino-Japanese War in the early years, both China and Japan also experienced espionage wars, and the impact was quite great. At that time, most of them were espionage operations against the Qing Dynasty, but the *** side still responded with confidence, and this incident may not be impossible to handle.

He sighed slightly, and then said seriously: "Confirm this matter as soon as possible. Being arrested or not being arrested is different. As for other aspects, we will deal with it according to the Intelligence Bureau's emergency mechanism."

Wang Changling nodded and said, "I understand. I will supervise this matter personally and notify Tingshuai as soon as possible if there is any progress. I think this should be because the Japanese side has stepped up the intelligence confidentiality work, so we seized our intelligence station in Tokyo. Chen Yongren, the director of the Tokyo Intelligence Station, sent a Class A encrypted telegram at 9:30, saying that the *** cabinet had decided to attack Qingdao. I don't know the specific time, but it must be before the transfer of Qingdao's sovereignty on January 12. This should confirm my point of view."

Wu Shaoting looked up at Wang Changling, thought for a moment, and said, "This may be some. ***The cabinet will sooner or later make the decision to attack public, so the meeting results do not have much confidentiality value, just like our Nanjing government openly held a press conference not long ago and decided to defend Qingdao. Since the war has been decided to start, we must naturally seize the preparations before the war, which led to the crackdown of our intelligence station. No matter what, we must investigate the reasons deeply, and speculation is ultimately a reference."

Wang Changling replied: "I will seriously reflect on this matter, learn from my mistakes, and will definitely improve the work ability of the intelligence station."

Wu Shaoting did not think about this matter any more. Naturally, the intelligence work had to be handed over to the intelligence department to be responsible for the cooking. What he had to consider now was the issue of *** deciding to attack Qingdao. The key was that he did not know the official date of ***'s troops. Judging from the style of small and big, he would usually attack without warning. Although he is actively preparing for Qingdao's defense, it will take some time for the second phase of the National Defense Forces to train and compile the plan, which was obviously a blank blind spot before this.

Wang Changling hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Ship Ting, what should we do next? I think, why not publish this news first so that the whole country and even the Global International know about the unjust actions of the people of the *** people. Wouldn't it be better to win more momentum for us before the war?"

Wu Shaoting shook his head and said slowly: "It's not the time. First, we are not sure about the authenticity of this information, and second, even if it is true, we must master the 'one-kick-up' to use it at the right time. If the portrait of the 1895 War was not declared, the momentum we created using this will be more powerful."

Wang Changling suddenly realized and said with deep understanding: "So that's it."

Wu Shaoting continued: "Since the country has begun to increase its intelligence investigation efforts, we should also take corresponding measures. Especially in Shandong and Hankou Concessions, we should ensure the security of military secrets, and at the same time try our best to dig out spies from the *** people. Even if our people in Tokyo are really arrested, as long as we have chips in our hands, we can still trade them back."

Wang Changling said seriously: "I will continue to arrange it. I will meet with the Secret Service, the *** Bureau and the 'Night Falcon' tomorrow morning to coordinate the national intelligence investigation work, so that the little *** will be in no way."

After a while of silence, Wu Shaoting explained: "In addition, Xiong Xiling also sent someone to follow up, it would be best to buy the people inside Qingyuan Mansion. I want to know the content of the talks between these people."

Wang Changling nodded and said with a cold expression: "Don't worry, Tingshuai, this matter is much easier. I will do it as soon as possible to avoid disappointing Tingshuai."

Wu Shaoting said happily: "Very good."

------------------------------------

The next morning, Wu Shaoting received a report from the military adjutant Li Xuanting. The Air Force Command, which was under the "Yeye Falcon" group, was officially established. The administrative department was located in the Ministry of National Defense of the Zhonghuamen, and the command post was directly installed in the Weifang Airport. In addition to the acting commander and chief of staff, the rest of the Air Force Command were trainees and German flight consultants.

Although the Chinese Air Force has developed rapidly in recent years, Rome was not built in one day after all. There are not many talents who are truly ambitious to develop the career of the Air Force, and the talent quality is not high. Even German consultants only know how to fly aircraft. As for profound knowledge such as strategy and tactics, they can only accumulate and explore a little bit.

The acting commander was Li Shengru, the squadron leader of the first flight teams in Guangzhou. He participated in three battles in Xiamen, Quanzhou and Fuzhou, and was only twenty-four years old. However, he is currently the person with the most experience in aircraft combat in China. The Chief of Staff is the instructor director of the Luzhou Aviation School. He has almost no military experience and can only be responsible for some administrative air force at most.

Although the lineup of the first Air Force Command is not ideal, everything has to go through this stage.

Wu Shaoting is very confident that he will make China a dark horse that stands out and establishes the world's leading position in the Air Force. To this end, when he received Li Xuanting's report, he immediately signed an air force development budget allocation, withdrawing a fee from private savings and the Ministry of Defense's budget. At the same time, he stated that Li Xuanting was responsible for preparing the National Aviation Construction Committee to vigorously encourage the development of aviation equipment and facilities, aiming to work together between the people and the government.

On December 27, Colonel Bacon and several other German consultants rushed to Weifang from Nanjing. He had just walked out of the car. The north wind in winter blew the collar of his black leather jacket, making his hooked nose turn red soon. Standing on the newly paved concrete floor of Weifang Airport, he squinted his eyes and looked around the entire airport, and was stunned by the huge open scene in front of him. This was the largest aviation base he had ever seen in his life.

"Oh my god, the Chinese are so crazy." Colonel Bacon murmured in German.

At this time, the aviation base sent two interns to pick him up. Colonel Bacon couldn't help but ask the interns: "How big is the total area here?"

An intern replied: "The standard is 90,000 square meters, but only about three-fifths of the laying have been completed."

Colonel Bacon stumbled in surprise. Although he knew that the Air Force played a certain role in the Chinese battlefield, he never thought that the Chinese would attach so much importance to the Air Force. He carefully counted the hangars and airship reserve warehouses next to the base, then sighed a long time ago and said, "Twelve hangars and nine airship warehouses, oh, oh, and seven airship towers. Will it be too silly to reserve all fighter jets and airships here?"

The intern smiled and said, "Mr. Colonel, this is the hinterland of Weifang Military Base. There are defense troops camps to the east and west, the logistics base is the north, and the military horse farm is the south, and there are garrisons in the horse farm. Even if the enemy wants to sneak attack the aviation base, it is not easy."

When Colonel Bacon came, he did pass by the base of the First Division of the National Defense Forces. He nodded slowly and said, "So that's it."

Another intern continued: "Mr. Colonel, Commander Li is waiting for you at the command center, please come here."

Bacon and others followed the interns to the west along the concrete ground for a while. The Air Force Command Post was temporarily set up in a parking shed, but fortunately it was a top office space. When they walked into the command post, they saw seven or eight top people studying the aviation map, and everyone was still discussing some air strike plans.

The intern who had led the way forward came forward and informed him, and Li Shengru immediately came over. The young acting air force commander was taught by Colonel Bacon himself, and even joined forces to fight with a fighter in Xiamen. He shook hands with Colonel Bacon very politely and signaled to say hello to other German consultants.

"Commander Li, congratulations on your promotion. This time, Nanjing sent us to see where we can help. It is said that *** has decided to attack Qingdao. Although the date is still uncertain, we should be prepared at all times." Colonel Bacon said with a smile.
