Section 299 Secret Service Section
During the meeting, officials from all levels of the National Government, including bald heads, will be present. If the puppet Manchukuo traitors succeed, it will be a major event that will cause the world to collapse.
This matter is so big that not only Zuo Zhong but even Dai Chunfeng can make the decision. Real evidence must be found before Zuo Zhong can report it to his superiors.
He thought for a while: "The first thing to do now is to check and control the meeting site in case the other party sets up dangerous goods. Old Song, you will be responsible for this."
Song Minghao stood up: "Yes."
He understood what Zuo Zhong meant. He was the chief of the military intelligence section, and many of his people were from the military. These people were more experienced in handling dangerous goods.
Gu Qi made a suggestion from the side: "Section Chief, in addition to the security of the meeting site and the service of the venue, the staff should also do background screening checks.
Should we leave this work to Chunyang and the others? This is their specialty. If we can find clues from the information, this case will be much easier to handle."
Zuo Zhong hesitated. He did not want Wu Chunyang's political intelligence unit to get involved in the case, at least their shadow could not appear in the internal investigation.
Otherwise, the direction of the case will easily go astray, from a case of sabotage by puppet Manchukuo spies to an internal strife, which will make the Japanese laugh out of their sleep.
So in the end he shook his head: "Let your training unit complete this work. Real gold must be refined in fire, and the screening of personnel information will be left to the newcomers.
Defining this matter within the scope of military intelligence is a good thing for all of us. The business scope of the Political Intelligence Unit is sensitive and must not be tampered with."
The people present were all smart people, and they immediately understood the meaning of these words. Gu Qi nodded. If he only did paperwork, those newcomers would indeed be able to help.
After all, for new recruits, sending them to track and monitor would be asking them to die. Reviewing files and information is not life-threatening, just treat them as business training.
Seeing that everyone understood, Zuo Zhong continued to ask: "In addition to the venue and staff just mentioned, what else do you think we can start from?"
Wu Chunyang thought for a while and raised his hand and said: "Section Chief, in addition to the staff at the venue, reporters, officials' entourage, and guards must also be included in the screening scope."
Everyone nodded. Not only would there be senior officials present at the meeting, but their drivers and secretaries might also be Manchukuo spies, so be careful.
But Zuo Zhong was not very satisfied after hearing this and directly said: "Shen Dongxin, please tell me where you would choose to start if you were a puppet Manchukuo spy."
Shen Dongxin was stunned and said hesitantly: "I will poison the drinking water, food, and fruits at the conference venue, or think of a way to do it at the banquet after the conference.
If you really can't find a truck and load it with dangerous goods, as long as the route is well planned and the information is accurate, you can drive directly to the venue."
Hiss, fortunately this guy is not a traitor to Manchuria.
The eyes of others looked at him a little kindly. Only those with real abilities can gain a foothold in the Intelligence Department, otherwise even the brother of the section chief would be of no use.
"Shen Dongxin is right. If Manchukuo spies want to sabotage the meeting, they can only use explosions, poisoning, and assassination on the spot. Then it will be easy to handle."
Zuo Zhong smiled: "Regarding these three points, Lao Song will be responsible for the internal work, including venue inspection; Chunyang, you and your team will complete the external work.
Lao Gu, you should pay attention to the information of all relevant personnel. Forty free laborers should not be used in vain. The review process must be stricter.
In short, I have to dig three feet down for the building, and I have to investigate for three generations. The time when the other party arrived in Jinling should be after the puppet Manchukuo was established. This should be paid attention to."
"yes!"
Everyone received the specific order and filed out of the conference room. This time the work was different from the past. The number of people who needed to be investigated was very large.
There were thousands of staff and their families at the conference site alone. Such a huge workload had to be completed against the clock.
After the meeting, Zuo Zhong once again came to the safe place where Tuo Zhi and Xiao Qingmin lived. These two people should know a lot of information about the Puppet Manchukuo.
The Kwantung Army and the Aoki Mansion have been sparing no effort to win over traitors, with the puppet Manchukuo being the focus of their work. They must have come into contact with relevant personnel.
Sure enough, when he asked about the information related to the Puppet Manchukuo, Tuozhi and Xiao Qingmin relaxed. It was obvious that answering this question was not difficult for them.
Tuozhi was quite a gentleman and looked at Xiao Qingmin: "Ms. Xiao, please tell me first. The Qingmu Mansion cooperates more with the puppet Manchukuo forces in North China and doesn't know much about the situation in Northeast China."
"OK."
Xiao Qingmin nodded and introduced Zuo Zhong: "Mr. Zuo, first of all, the intelligence force of the Puppet Manchukuo is directly organized, trained and managed by the Kwantung Army.
After the Liutiao Lake Incident, in order to strengthen management, the Puppet Manchukuo promulgated the official system of the Harbin Police Department in the 21st year of the Republic of China and established the Harbin Police Department.
Subsequently, police stations or police departments were established in various parts of Manchukuo, among which the police department consisted of police department, special service department, security department, garrison and other agencies."
Zuo Zhong smiled when he heard this. Xiao Qingmin is a smart person, and he always pretends to be full. This is a good sign. Of course, the surveillance work on her cannot be stopped.
Compared with Tuo Zhi, Xiao Qingmin is too smart. Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing. You have to find a way to put a tight spell on her, otherwise you can't use it with confidence.
Over there, Xiao Qingmin continued: "The Police Department has a very important responsibility, which is to assist the Kwantung Army and intelligence agencies in arresting anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements.
This work is performed by the Secret Service Division, which is an independent intelligence agency responsible for the supervision and management of politics, ideological and speech, and other aspects.
Internally, we monitor and monitor internal officials at all levels and conduct internal screening to prevent anti-Japanese and anti-Manchu forces from penetrating into the puppet Manchukuo government to sabotage it.
Externally, it aimed to crack down on underground anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese organizations and groups in various places, eliminate hostile forces such as the Fruit Party, underground parties, and the Red Bear, and carry out counterespionage.
In addition, the Secret Service Section will also dispatch intelligence personnel to the customs. These personnel are managed by the Kwantung Army's various secret service agencies, and their identities are top secret."
She told all the information she knew in one breath, which was similar to what Zuo Zhong knew. The nature of the work of the Secret Service Section was equivalent to one plus two.
The power is very powerful and the methods are very cruel. Anyone suspected of being anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese by the Secret Service can be immediately arrested and executed even if there is no evidence.
However, the other party sent people to carry out activities within the customs. This was the first time the Secret Service had grasped this situation. Zuo Zhong looked at Xiao Qingmin and motioned for her to continue the introduction.
But Xiao Qingmin smiled bitterly and said: "This is all I know. Although I heard that the Kwantung Army was training some people, I never saw them when I was in the Northeast.
Maybe it's because I left too early, but in short, I really don't know anything about this group of people, and I really can't help Mr. Zuo, so please forgive me."
Zuo Zhong looked at Tuozhi again, and Tuozhi quickly shook his head. It was the first time he had heard of those things just now, and the Aoki Mansion had never dealt with the Intelligence Department.
After a few seconds of silence, Zuo Zhong said: "I'll tell you two bad news. The Kwantung Army has a Puppet Manchukuo intelligence team in Jinling City, and there will be big operations in the near future."
Xiao Qingmin's face changed slightly. Zuo Zhong understood her worries. If the other party wanted to come, the Kwantung Army sent people to launch a big operation in Jinling at this time. It was probably related to her, killing people and silencing them.
Tuozhi's face turned pale with fright. He didn't know how much Xiao Qingmin told the Chinese, but he revealed too much and sold the Qingmu Mansion. Could the other party come to kill him?
Zuo Zhong looked at the reaction of the two people and laughed secretly. He did not say that the other party was a scapegoat on a suicide mission, let alone that they wanted to sabotage the meeting.
In addition to the fact that this information needed to be kept secret, he also wanted to scare these two guys. It was related to their vital interests, and they would desperately provide clues without any prompting.
There are lies among truths, truth among lies. A clever lie is always half true and half false. It can sow discord between them and the Kwantung Army, a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone.
"cough."
Zuo Zhong looked solemn: "It seems that you two have realized the seriousness of the problem. Although I don't know the specific goals of their goals, I am a little worried about your safety if they leave each other alone in Jinling."
Xiao Qingmin bit her lip and seemed to be thinking carefully about Zuo Zhong's words. From the reality, she was indeed more dangerous than Tuozhi. Tuozhi turned out to be just the squad leader of the general affairs team, while she was the leader of the intelligence team.
It is not difficult to guess who the Kwantung Army cares more about.
After a while, she ordered Tuozhi: "You should write down the Puppet Manchukuo forces in North China, especially the important personnel. The Puppet Manchukuo intelligence team coming to Jinling will most likely obtain their identities through them."
Hearing this, Tuo Zhi opened his mouth. Everything must come first and come first. He was clearly the first to surrender to the Chinese. Why is this woman giving orders here?
He looked at Zuo Zhong pitifully. After all, he was captured by Zuo Zhong himself, so he could be regarded as Section Chief Zuo's confidant traitor. Xiao Qingmin was nothing.
Zuo Zhong raised his head when he saw him looking at him. The two men pinched each other to control him. Besides, Xiao Qingmin was the intelligence team leader and had strong working ability, so of course he had to use someone with stronger ability.
It's not Takuchi's turn to flatter him.
Seeing Zuo Zhong's lack of support and looking at Xiao Qingmin who was smiling, Tuozhi had no choice but to find paper and pen and write down the important personnel of the puppet Manchukuo forces in his memory.
Xiao Qingmin saw that Tuozhi had relented and continued: "When a puppet Manchukuo agent arrives in Jinling, he must have a cover job, which can not only hide his identity, but also cover part of the funds for his activities.
Based on my understanding of the Kwantung Army, it is impossible for them to give each other too much funding. Section Chief Zuo can think of ways to track down the businessmen, scholars and students who have come to Jinling recently.
Because the agents of the Puppet Manchukuo are all the children of Puppet Manchukuo officials. These people are well-educated and engaged in low-level manual labor. It is not easy to disguise and does not match the identity of the other party."
This woman is dishonest.
Zuo Zhong glanced at her. He clearly knew nothing about what he was talking about before. Seeing that he did not support Tuozhi, he also said that the Puppet Manchukuo agents were the children of Puppet Manchukuo officials. It was a standard practice to avoid rabbits and hawks.
