At the same time that Zhao Bei was looking forward to his dream of becoming an air force power, he was far away. Xindian Village, which is less than 20 miles away. A vendor who was driving a donkey to sell goods also heard the roar of the motive coming from the sky, so. He looked up at the sky where the roar came.

After a while, the dealer saw the group of bombers and fighters, which was different from the villagers next to them. The peddler was not excited, his face suddenly turned pale, and he carefully counted the number of planes. It's getting stronger and stronger, and in comparison, the Empire's air forces are a little weak. ”

The peddler watched the group fly in the northwest direction, feeling a little lost, and naturally he was not in the mood to continue trading. So he hurriedly closed the stall, put those inconspicuous foreign gadgets into a cloth bag, and then put the cloth bag on the donkey's back, and then shouted and drove the donkey out of Xindian Village.

Hawkers like this are common all over Shandong, especially around Qingdao, where all kinds of foreign goods are cheap due to their proximity to treaty ports. There are more peddlers who make a living from this, but the peddler who left from Xindian is not a businessman who sells gadgets to the villagers for a living, his real identity is a spy, a Japanese spy, named Kenji Dohihara, a native of Okayama Prefecture, Japan, studied at the Japanese 6th Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and later entered the Japanese 6th Army University for further study, it is worth mentioning that when he was studying at the Japanese 6th Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he was a classmate of Chinese students Jiang Fangzhen, Zhou Daowang, Xu Chongzhi, Qu Tongfeng, Jiang Zunbasket and others.

Kenji Dohihara was sent to China at the beginning of this year, and his official identity was the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Shenyang, but it didn't take long for him to be transferred to Tianjin and reappointed as the military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Tianjin, the main job is to collect intelligence in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the President of the Republic of China inspected Qingdao, and the squadron and the German team held joint military exercises, the Japanese government sent a large number of spies to follow them, Kenji Dohihara is just one of the spies with a special mission, because he speaks Chinese fluently, Therefore, he was sent to the countryside of Qingdao, disguised as a hawker, to collect relevant information about the Chinese Air Force.

Although Kenji Tohihara spoke Chinese fluently, this was just a frustration of General Liba, really talking to the Chinese face to face, he did not have the courage, so this time pretending to be a peddler, he pretended to be a dumb man, closed his mouth all the way, and finally saw the light bomber formation of the Chinese Air Force and the fighter unit covering the bombers.

Originally, Kenji Dohihara planned to go to the Gaomi Field Airport to listen to the news, but when he arrived in Gaomi, he was now heavily guarded, and it was impossible to get any useful information, so he had to dispel this idea and decided to lurk in the area around Qingdao, waiting for an opportunity to spy on information.

Although he only counted the number of Chinese bombers and fighters participating in the Sino-German military confrontation exercises, and the information in other areas was basically useless, Kenji Dohihara decided to go back and report to his superiors immediately. Today's China is no different from the Qing Dynasty in the past, and the activities of Japanese spies have been curbed, and many ronins who worked for the Japanese intelligence agencies have died in China without explanation. The causes of death are bizarre. Some of them died of smoking opium, some were beaten to death because of gambling and cheating, and many Japanese ronins disappeared, and since then no one has been seen alive or dead, and judging from all kinds of signs, China has obviously begun to make a plan to clean up the Japanese spies in China, and it has been done very skillfully, and many Japanese ronins have died at the hands of the Hui Party, and they have not been able to grasp any handle of the Chinese central government at all.

Kenji Dohihara was in a hurry to get in touch with his superiors, safety was the first consideration, and the second consideration was the importance of intelligence, and now a small Sino-German joint military confrontation exercise. Judging from this intelligence, China is obviously increasing its investment in the construction of air forces, and in contrast, the Japanese Sixth Army and Navy attach far less importance to aviation than their counterparts in China.

It is necessary to transmit this information back to China as soon as possible, and urge the Japanese military department to take corresponding measures to narrow the gap between China and Japan in terms of air strength; Kenji Dohihara believes that as long as the Japanese military department makes up its mind, Japan's air force will certainly be able to surpass China very quickly, and the premise is that Japan's economy is operating normally.

Kenji Dohihara headed north. He first went to Zhucheng in the north, stayed overnight in a hotel in Zhucheng, and the next day contacted the intelligence squad to gather together the information collected from all quarters, and then rushed to Qingdao with the truck-drawn carriage of Mitsui & Co. of Japan and handed over the information.

The headquarters of the Japanese intelligence agency in Qingdao is Mitsui & Co., but it is far away from the port of Qingdao, and the Germans have always been wary of the Japanese, especially in this case, the port of Qingdao belongs to the exercise area, and the Japanese are forbidden to stay in the exercise area.

Kenji Dohihara settled down at Mitsui & Co., and in the afternoon of the same day, he was under the sound of gunfire from the Chinese and German exercise troops. A mysterious figure asks Kenji Dohihara to meet him at the Laoshan Villa outside the exercise control area.

At the foot of the Nag Mountain. Kenji Dohihara met this mysterious figure in a villa, but he was taken aback, because this person was Fukushima Yasumasa, the same person touted by some in the military department as the "father of Japan's intelligence warfare".

Fukushima Yasushi is a native of Matsumoto Prefecture, Shinshu, Japan, born in a declining samurai family, when he was a teenager just in time for the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, since then, he began to receive a comprehensive and systematic military education and cultural education, because of his English proficiency, he soon became the Ministry of Justice, and soon after was transferred to the 6th Military Ministry, as the chief of staff of the prefecture Aritomo of the prefecture, since then began to deal with intelligence, in the future military life, Fukushima Yasuma many times in various capacities to China, India, Burma, Ayuki "mistakenly, Persia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, Germany, and other countries collected intelligence and organized strategies, which contributed to the Japanese government's correct judgment of the international situation at that time. Yasumasa Fukushima, who had no battlefield experience, was promoted to lieutenant general of the 6th Army.

Fukushima Yasumasa was not only adept at taking risks himself, but also at organizing intelligence agencies, and it was he who used the period around the Russo-Japanese War to establish a complete intelligence network in the eastern provinces of China, which not only provided a large amount of information for Japan's defeat of Russia, but that intelligence network is still playing an important role today.

To be personally called for questioning by such a senior in the intelligence community, Kenji Dohihara was of course very excited.

"Tuhihara-kun, the information you reported is very important, and I personally think that your operation was very successful. Analysis from the current various intelligence. The squadron has been equipped with a large number of aircraft, and like Germany and France, China's air forces are fully equipped, including both fighter planes and crit planes. ”

"Hay! So you think so. In my opinion, if the emperor can't catch up, I'm afraid that in terms of air power, the empire will be at a relative disadvantage, and once a war with China starts, the sky may become a hunting ground for the enemy. ”

"Now the Chinese Aviation Forces are divided into the 6 Army Aviation and the Naval Aviation, and you should be the aircraft of the 6 Army Aviation Units. Yesterday, the Imperial Admiralty had sent a telegram asking us to further find out the details of the Chinese Navy's "Claireye" aerial reconnaissance ship, and now it seems that this task can be entrusted to you, and I hope that Dohihara-kun will ascertain all the detailed information about this warship as soon as possible, and if possible, find a way to buy the soldiers and officers on the warship, and in any case, master the combat use of this warship. ”

"Hay!"

Kenji Dohihara didn't think that the other party valued him so much, but the difficulty of this task was inevitably higher, and just as he was thinking about where to start, Fukushima Yasumasa clapped his hands and called someone in.

"This is Kawashima Lang-kun. He is my proud protégé, a cadre of the Xingya Council, thanks to his efforts and that of his intelligence squad. The empire has established a relatively reliable intelligence network in South China, especially in the Jiangxi area, and according to the information it has obtained so far, "clairvoyance. The ship was converted at the Shanghai shipyard, and the ship also used the port of Shanghai as a repair port, so this time Tsuchihara-kun could go south to Shanghai with Kawashima-kun. However, I need to remind you that according to the experience of the previous two years, there is also a Chinese special force active in the Shanghai area, and they use the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang as their minions to take very cruel measures against the intelligence personnel of the Empire, and they also hope that the two can be cautious, and the Empire does not want to lose the two best intelligence officers. ”

"Thank you for the reminder.

Kenji Dohihara glanced at Kawashima Nan, Fukushima Yasumasa had many disciples, and he had seen some of them before. But this Kawashima Lang is the first time to see face-to-face talking.

Kawashima Lang also glanced at Kenji Dohihara, and then took out his opinion without waiting.

"Tuhihara-kun, you have not been in China for a long time, and you may not know the means and determination of China's counter-espionage department, in order to prevent Japanese intelligence officers from collecting useful information, these Chinese killers have done everything they can, in the first half of this year alone, I have lost seven of my best spies, five of whom have not even been able to find their bodies. So, in my opinion, if you want to carry out this task. Then before you act, you'd better think again. ”

"Don't think about it. Prepare in a hurry in Shimotachi, and you can go to Nangong with Kawashima-kun at any time"

Kenji Dohihara was enraged. Angry bowed and retreated.

After Kenji Dohihara left, "Shima Lang and Fukushima Yasumasa changed the topic to something else

。

Daojun, the intelligence network in the South Manchurian region has been severely damaged recently, and we are no longer able to collect intelligence effectively. However, judging from the intelligence collected last year, the squadron in the South Manchurian region is still stepping up training and combat readiness, although they have only made a defensive posture, but the empire cannot take it lightly. Right now. According to the intelligence collected in the past two days, the army in China's customs is also stepping up its armament, which can be seen from their emphasis on the air force, but at present, the imperial government is unlikely to increase the military budget, due to the competition of Chinese imitation fabrics, the empire's imitation fabrics are increasingly squeezed out of the Chinese customs market, profits have been reduced to the extreme, the empire's businessmen are already angry, at this time, the imperial government can not help but have scruples, so in a short period of time, the empire's air force units can not be quickly developed.

I know that Kawashima-kun has a dormant intelligence squad in the Wuhan area, and now, perhaps, it is time for them to act, since the empire cannot speed up the construction of armaments, then, find a way to drag down China's armaments and destroy their aircraft factories and weapons factories. I also know that this task is very difficult, and I must be prepared for the jade crushing, and this time I am traveling south, and Kawashima-kun is also shouldering this mission. ”

"Please rest assured that you will live up to your trust. If necessary, the subordinate will personally charge into battle and serve the empire! ”

Two Japanese spies secretly discussed in the villa, and soon formulated a god of war.

Of course. They are also well aware. It is conceivable how tragic this intelligence war will be, but since the survival of Japan is at stake, then they can only rush forward.

This battlefield is another battlefield between China and Japan.
