On the night of the same day, Ning Zhiheng sent the news he obtained to the Second Division, and early the next morning, Wei Liangbi rushed to the bureau headquarters to ask for a seat in the bureau.

In the office, the bureau seat was checking the materials in his hand, looked at Zhao Ziliang and Bian Ze in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Have the personnel to be sent to Qingdao been decided?" ”

After receiving Ning Zhiheng's report before, he already knew that the city of the tripartite talks was in Qingdao, which made the bureau very headache.

Because Qingdao is the city with the strictest Japanese control, it cannot help but be inhabited by a large number of Japanese expatriates, and there are also Japanese army and navy garrisons in North China, so to speak, in terms of Japanese control, even above Shanghai.

More importantly, the strength of the Military Command Bureau in Qingdao is far inferior to that of Shanghai, and Shanghai, as the forefront of the intelligence stations of both China and Japan, has invested a large number of elites, and the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, the most mysterious intelligence department with combat effectiveness, has been lurking in Shanghai all along, and has not yet achieved defeat.

However, the situation in Qingdao was far worse, and the personnel of the Qingdao intelligence station, in the fight with the Japanese, were almost destroyed at the beginning, and the entire Qingdao station hid in the suburbs, barely maintained, and later, with the support of the headquarters, gradually recovered some vitality, but there was almost no intelligence activity capability in Qingdao.

If they were to be tasked with the task of sabotaging the tripartite talks, even the bureau itself felt that it was impossible, so it was decided to send an elite team of agents from headquarters to carry out this mission.

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "It's already decided, led by Luo Yuze, the head of the operations section, forty elites have been selected to form a special operations team, just waiting for your order, ready to set off at any time." ”

"Luo Yuze?"

The bureau sat silent for a moment, he still knew about this person, he was an old man during the Nanjing Military Intelligence Department, and he was also Zhao Ziliang's confidant, and he was quite effective in terms of ability.

The bureau finally nodded and said, "Okay, it's him, let them rush to Qingdao as soon as possible, lurk in advance, and wait for instructions to act, I think there should be news from Shanghai." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhao Ziliang nodded in agreement, but then asked: "Bureau, does the special task force need to have contact with Qingdao Station in Qingdao?" The Japanese in Qingdao are extremely tightly controlled, and it is difficult to move an inch without identity, and their infiltration is very dangerous. ”

The bureau looked up at Bian Ze on the side, and asked, "What is the current strength of Qingdao Station?" ”

Bian Ze had already been prepared, and hurriedly replied: "At present, there are only sixty-five people in the whole station, of which there are twenty-four operators, most of whom are distributed in the suburbs, and there are six intelligence officers in the urban area of Qingdao, but their status is not high, and they cannot access valuable information, and their situation is not good, but they have the ability to forge local good citizen certificates and assist the special task force to infiltrate Qingdao." ”

The bureau nodded and commanded: "Then inform Fu Shengyuan, let him prepare as soon as possible, cooperate with Luo Yuze's work, and take action with Luo Yuze as the leader, Fu Shengyuan as the auxiliary, unscrupulous means, no matter the cost, we must sabotage the progress of the meeting." ”

Fu Shengyuan, who is in the mouth of the bureau, is the stationmaster of the Qingdao Station of the Military Command, who has presided over the work of the Qingdao Station for a long time, and is also a senior veteran agent.

"Yes! I'll send him a report right away! Bian Ze replied.

The bureau thought for a while, and then asked, "How is it in Shanghai?" How is Chen Hongchi's work progressing? ”

"So far, it's been quite smooth, the first batch of operators have arrived in Shanghai, but they have a lot of difficulties now," Bian Ze said. ”

"What difficulty?"

"One is the lack of funds, the other is the lack of weapons, they have now arranged a foothold, but Chen Hongchi is going to arrange some safe houses in downtown Shanghai, but the funds brought are no longer enough, Chen Hongchi applied for another fund.

In addition, the members of the operation team entered Shanghai for a long time, and the checkpoints on the road were very strict, for the sake of safety, they did not carry weapons, the price of weapons on the black market was too high, and it was not safe, so Chen Hongchi applied and asked for complete equipment as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to carry out their work. ”

When the bureau heard this, they couldn't help frowning, and now in the Shanghai and Nanjing areas, the strength of the Military Unification Bureau, except for the Shanghai Intelligence Section, has almost been lost, and the National Salvation Army in southern Jiangsu has munitions, but there is no channel to transport them into Shanghai.

As for funds, the bureau is even more difficult, and now the finances of the entire Chongqing government are getting worse and worse, especially since the second half of this year, the exchange rate of the legal tender has plummeted, which has directly led to a sharp decline in the economy of the Kuomintang, and the funds of the Military Command Bureau are also quite difficult.

At this time, Secretary Liu knocked on the door and reported, "Deputy Director Wei asks to see him." ”

"Let him in!" The bureau commanded.

Wei Liangbi walked into the office quickly and handed over the message directly to the bureau.

"This is a secret telegram from the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, sent late last night."

The bureau seat hurriedly took the telegram, and after checking it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Ning Zhiheng's intelligence came in time, and he had already figured out the specific location and time of the puppet government's tripartite talks so quickly, which was nearly a month in advance, which also gave the special task force enough time to prepare, and this time the Qingdao operation was more certain.

He raised his hand and handed the telegram to Bian Ze and Zhao Ziliang, and said with a pleased smile: "The information of the intelligence department has always been accurate and timely, and it has never disappointed us, this time, Luo Yuze and they have enough time to arrange." ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the telegram, and a smile appeared on his face, this time the action was very important, and the pressure on Zhao Ziliang was not small, now that he had a detailed goal, the difficulty of the task was reduced by half.

Bian Ze looked at Wei Liangbi and suddenly asked, "Liangbi, when Wu Huarong led the evacuation of Shanghai Station, did the guns they were equipped with stay in the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau." ”

Wei Liangbi was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what Bian Ze had mentioned about it, so he thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "It seems that there is such a thing, when evacuating Shanghai, for the sake of insurance, all the personnel did not carry weapons, they left more than sixty Browning pistols, but there were not many bullets, and these weapons have been stored in the organs of the Intelligence Section." ”

Bian Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Here's the thing, the newly replenished Shanghai Station personnel, they also mixed into the concession empty-handed, they lack weapons and equipment, I want you to transfer this batch of weapons and ammunition to them, I don't know your opinion..."

When Wei Liangbi heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed: "No problem, we will agree on a joint location, and I will arrange personnel to send it to you immediately." ”

Wei Liangbi knew that the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau did not lack weapons and equipment at all, and besides, these guns originally belonged to the Shanghai Station, to be precise, they belonged to the intelligence department, and Wei Liangbi was not willing to take advantage of this.

Bian Ze heard Wei Liangbi's refreshment, and he was naturally happy in his heart, after all, the personnel of the Shanghai Station were all rescued by the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, and even if the weapons left behind were really detained, he couldn't say anything.

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile on the side: "You have a lot of money in the second place, what do you have?" Can you afford this little bit of belongings? Liangbi, be generous, and give more equipment, this is engaged in agent warfare behind enemy lines, and the guys in your hands are not good! ”

As soon as Zhao Ziliang spoke, Wei Liangbi was a little embarrassed, Zhao Ziliang was his old boss, and he was not wary of him and Ning Zhiheng because of the difference in factions, but took great care of him, so he and Ning Zhiheng have always had great respect for Zhao Ziliang.

And Zhao Ziliang was a serious person, he had never stretched out his hand to the two of them, and today he opened his mouth, which made Wei Liangbi really difficult to shirk, so he had to nod and say: "The director spoke, how dare Liangbi refuse, so let's add another hundred new Browning guns, 6,000 bullets, and 100 kilograms of TNT explosives, which are enough for Shanghai Station!" ”

Wei Liangbi's words made the people in the room overjoyed, this batch of arms is nothing in Chongqing, but in Shanghai, which is far behind the enemy line, it is extremely precious, and it can be imagined how strong the strength of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau is.

Zhao Ziliang didn't expect Wei Liangbi to give him face like this, his face suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but pat Wei Liangbi's shoulder and said: "It's still Liangbi, you are happy, I appreciate it, and when the channels are established in the future, I will transfer double the amount from the National Salvation Army to pay you back!" ”

Bian Ze's temperament is introverted, and he has always been reluctant to ask for help, so he was embarrassed to ask Wei Liangbi for more arms before, he felt that Wei Liangbi could return the batch of arms to him, it was already good, and now that he had an unexpected joy, he was naturally extremely happy, and thanked Wei Liangbi again and again.

The bureau seat laughed and said: "Liangbi has a heart, you are willing to help, of course it is the best, but you still have to pay attention to discipline, the contact between you must be absolutely hidden, and then there must be no horizontal contact, otherwise once there is a change, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

He knows that with the Shanghai Intelligence Section, Shanghai's position will not be lost, the material transportation line will not be broken, and the intelligence market will be able to continuously transmit intelligence.

"Yes, we must pay attention!" Wei Liangbi and Bian Ze both nodded their heads.

Wei Liangbi and Bian Ze agreed on the specific details in a low voice, and then resigned.

Wei Liangbi not only learned the time and place of the tripartite confluence meeting, but also solved a problem at the Shanghai Station by the way, and the mood of the bureau suddenly improved, and he said to Bian Ze: "You arrange the matter of weapons and equipment as soon as possible, and now the Shanghai Station is only left with the problem of funds, and I will find a way to solve it for them." ”

"Yes!" Bian Ze nodded in agreement.
