294 Intelligence sharing

Although Roque is a baron of the British Empire, although Nyasaland is a territory of the British Empire, the War Office will have the same monitoring of Roque and Nyasaland, because of Roque's special status, the monitoring of Roque and Nyasaland will be stricter.

In fact, it's all normal, Roque has never relaxed his vigilance against 007, from the first day the War Office came to Nyasaland, Roque has monitored the War Office, and there are also Brad's people in the base of the War Office, all of whom are engaged in intelligence work, despicable, no one has to be much noble.

What makes Roque a little sad is that the two Brads who were rebelled against are both Chinese, and these are only two exposed, and no one knows how many others have not been exposed.

After Roque learned the news, he immediately ordered Shi Zai, director of the Brad office, to conduct a self-examination, and at the same time to strengthen ideological education in Brad and strictly prohibit the recurrence of similar incidents.

Speaking of which, Roque also paid too much attention to economic development and neglected ideological education during this time, which is very undeserved, after all, there are so many lessons from the past, and this time Roque's golden finger did not play a full role.

In fact, it is also normal, Nyasaland and Johannesburg now add up to hundreds of thousands of Chinese, and it is inevitable that some people who are not determined will will be bribed by the War Office, but fortunately, Roque has not made much mistakes, and even if some things are known by the War Office, it will not affect London's evaluation of Roque.

To put it mildly, no one is perfect, there is no requirement for material and rights, that is a saint, if it exists in real life, it is terrible, for London, as long as Roque does not betray the British Empire, there is a little flaw in his personal character, but it will make London more at ease with Roque.

Roque didn't think about betraying the British Empire, including doing business with the Russians, Roque's starting point was also to make money, and it was under the banner of a protective umbrella, and he was not blatant, and London was not going to put Roque on the line because of this.

However, this happened to create a gap between Nyasaland and London, and at the end of January, Chris Ellis, who had just become head of the War Office, came to Johannesburg to meet with Roque.

"Congratulations Chris, how does it feel to be promoted?" Roque and Chris Ellis are also old friends, and Chris Ellis has a friendlier attitude towards Nyasaland than Frank.

Frank Frederick was finally transferred out of the maelstrom of Nyasaland to serve in the War Department, and Chris Ellis was naturally promoted to become the head of the War Office in Nyasaland.

During this period, the War Office had begun to show signs of transformation into the Military Intelligence Agency, which used to have only one director in the War Office, Frank Frederick, and after Frank came to Nyasaland, the War Office now has many directors, and it is estimated that it will be transformed into the Military Intelligence Agency in a few years.

Maybe Chris Ellis will be able to mix up with the director of a certain department, so it doesn't hurt to get on with it now.

"Thank you, Sir, it feels good, but unfortunately it's not as good as I thought." Chris Ellis is now finally feeling the pain of the former Frank.

Chris came to Nyasaland with Frank and established the Nyasaland base.

Chris still remembers that the purpose of the War Office's base in Nyasaland was to explore ways to use the indigenous people of the colony and try to infiltrate Portuguese East Africa in order to cooperate with Roque in completing the "Two Cs".

It's a pity that Roque's actions were too fast, and before the War Office had trained enough agents, Roque had already subverted Portuguese East Africa, forced the Portuguese to succumb, and took a big step towards completing the "Two Cs Plan".

The rest of the story was completely out of control, and before the War Office had time to digest all this, Roque targeted the Congo Free State again, and then the War Office began to wipe his ass behind Roque non-stop, acting as a sounding board between Roque and London, and for a while, Frank suffered from insomnia, dreams, and nervous breakdowns, so severe that he almost had to return to London for hospitalization.

Now that Frank has finally left Nyasaland as he wishes, and Chris takes over Frank's work, he immediately feels Nyasaland's "malice".

"I've just taken over the job, and there is always a need for an adaptation process, and some mistakes are inevitable." Roque said perfunctorily, saying that these really don't mean anything, but it doesn't sound the same to Chris's ears.

"Yes, mistakes are inevitable, so Lord, we need to cooperate better, make up for each other's mistakes in work, and try to avoid misunderstandings in work-" Chris never mentioned what happened in Port Edward, as if it had never happened at all: "Lord, you know, the Russian Pacific Second Squadron is currently in the waters of Madagascar, and the military department is very concerned about the situation of the Second Squadron, and I hope to know more about it-"

Chris finally got to the point, that's right, you should focus on the enemy, not on your own turf all day.

"Second Fleet, I'd like to be impressed." Roque pretended to be stupid.

"Umbrella - the umbrella company and the second squadron have a business." Chris directly pointed out that the War Office really still knew.

This is normal, the Russians have a lot of materials to buy, and such a large-scale material transfer will definitely not be able to hide from the War Office, and the reason why the War Office wants to investigate is probably to analyze the situation of the Second Squadron through specific orders.

Now that Brad's mole has been exposed, the War Office probably doesn't dare to act rashly, so Chris simply comes to Roque, hoping to get information from Roque.

It seems that after the establishment of the Belgian Congo, Nyasaland established an intelligence-sharing mechanism with the War Office, so it is also appropriate for Roque to provide intelligence to the War Office, but because of what happened in Port Edward, Roque was very unhappy, so Roque did not want to cooperate now.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know about this, I'm going to ask." Roque picked up the phone with a fake wry.

"Lord, this is important for the Empire, please forgive us for our urgency, I promise-" Chris didn't finish, but Roque could already feel Chris's sincerity.

In fact, the War Office is in a difficult situation in Nyasaland, the base of the War Office is on a small island in the center of Lake Nyasa, basically isolated, and senior staff like Chris, their homes are in Little Rock, and they have to take fishing boats to and from Little Rock and the base.

In the past, Frank was very wary of Roque and Nyasaland, but when he came to Chris, Roque was already a baron of Nyasaland and was still a military general, as long as Roque did not rebel openly, Chris was willing to live in peace with Roque.

"Well, what kind of information do you need?" Roark let go of the phone and leaned back comfortably in his chair.

"All, all the intelligence about the Second Squadron—" Chris asked.

"All - the intelligence of the Second Squadron is very bad, from the analysis of the time of the arrival of the Second Squadron in Madagascar via Cape Town, the warships of the Second Squadron are in poor condition, and the speed has dropped very badly, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the Second Squadron - the long journey has led to a low morale of the officers and men of the Second Fleet, and a sharp drop in combat effectiveness, if the Second Squadron wants to defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet, then the Second Squadron must go through a period of rest and recuperation, if it is in the current state, The Second Squadron will not be able to defeat the Combined Fleet and may be completely annihilated - is that enough? "Roque didn't know about the situation of the Second Squadron either, but Roque knew the final outcome of the battle.

"How did you come to this conclusion, Sir?" Chris did not trust Roque's judgment, and although Roque had performed well in previous wars, the army and navy were very different, and the experience of ground warfare was basically useless in naval warfare.

"According to the analysis of the situation of the second squadron, I do not have specific information on the second squadron, even if the umbrella company and the Russians cooperate, the Russians will not let the people of the umbrella company board the ship, so we can only conduct a comprehensive analysis through intelligence." Roque no longer shies away from the Umbrella's cooperation with the Russians, and it makes no sense to continue to deny the information that the War Office already has.

What's more, Roque also wants to gain the trust of the War Office through such an exchange of intelligence.

In other words, establishing a certain level of friendship with Chris himself would be more conducive to Chris's evaluation of Roque and Nyasaland.

"The situation in Russia is very bad, the Russian in charge of the contact with the war office is called Konstantin, he lives in the De Beers Hotel, and the actual transaction between him and the umbrella company is 600,000 pounds, but it is worth 1 million pounds, and this is Konstantin alone." Roque finally revealed some specific information, which, although not directly related to the Second Squadron, could also expose organizational and logistical problems within Russia.

"It's true that the Russians are not doing well in the war—" Chris said along Roque's topic, adding that Russian forces have behaved rather amateurishly in the ground wars that have taken place.

"So Russia can't win the Russo-Japanese War, the war is a contest at the level of the country as a whole, local advantages are not enough to influence the outcome of the war, Russia is now suffering from internal and external troubles, everyone is only for themselves, although Japan's national strength is weak, but it is almost inevitable to defeat Russia - you know, I don't like Russia, but I don't like Japan either, so from the perspective of the British Empire, of course Japan should win, but Japan can't get a big victory, preferably a miserable victory, which is the most in line with the interests of the British Empire." Although Roque did not know how London was arranged, Roque knew the purpose of London.

-stirring stick, if you don't toss it at this time, I'm sorry for this identity.
