Chapter 500: The Chinese version of the black room
Jinling City, the headquarters of the Japanese Expeditionary Force in China.
Interior of the conference room.
A group of generals gathered, and a secret intelligence meeting was held here. The speaker was Keiichi Kondo who had disappeared from Xiangcheng for many days.
Among the people sitting below were Lieutenant General Sakagaki Seishiro, Deputy Chief of General Staff of General Staff, Major General Honda Masato, Senior Staff Officer of the General Staff, Chief of the First Section, Colonel Fumikuang, and Minister of Intelligence Takeo Imai...
In addition to senior officers in the General Staff, there are also heads of intelligence agencies of the divisions of each army.
There were thirty or forty people sitting in the big conference room.
"Kondo, you can start." Seeing that everyone was almost there, Seishiro Itagaki, who was sitting in the front, waved his hand slightly and ordered.
"Hay." Kondo stood attentively and bowed respectfully to Seishiro Sakagaki.
"Your Excellency Sakagaki, you guys, I wonder if you have read an American novel, its name is "American Black Room"." Kondo Keiichi asked in his heavy Kyushu accent.
"He is the former director of the Eighth Division of the National Intelligence Agency. He is known as the "deciphering elves" by Habert Yadley?" Someone answered on the spot, and they were all engaged in intelligence. Of course, it is impossible not to know such a documentary novel, otherwise he could not be called a qualified intelligence officer.
"It's him, I seem to have heard of this novel as well..."
"Is this guy still alive?"
"Yes, it is this former director of the 8th Division of the US Intelligence Agency, known as the 'deciphering elves'." Kondo Keiichi continued, "This person is in China now, in Yama Castle!"
As soon as these words came out, some of the people below immediately became turbulent.
Obviously, some people don’t know about this situation, especially intelligence officers on the front line, whose intelligence sources are relatively single.
"In fact, the Empire Base Camp has already grasped the whereabouts of this secret code communication expert, but it has not been reported. The Base Camp judged that it is impossible to change China's disadvantages in deciphering our secret code communication just by relying on this secret code communication expert. Moreover, he has left the secret code communication industry for many years and has not mastered the latest encryption and deciphering methods of secret code communication..."
Kondo explained it one by one, just to tell the people below that their previous judgment was wrong.
With the help of Habert Yadley, Shancheng broke through the deciphering of Japanese secret codes.
Not only did it decipher the secret code communication of the Japanese Army, it also helped the Chinese to cultivate a group of talents in secret code deciphering.
This is something I never expected.
"This organization of the Military Intelligent Translation Office can be called the Chinese version of the Black Room. The existence of this organization has become a major threat to the imperial soldiers on the battlefield..." Kondo Keiichi continued to explain his views.
"Based on the exact information we have, the person in charge of the Secret Translation Office is Luo Yao, who is a student of our old rival, Dai Yunong, the Military Commission. This person is very young and has very little public information. We don't have much information about him, but there is a very interesting experience in the limited information..."
The experience of Luo Yao lurking in the mountain city can naturally be hidden, and was dug out by Keiichi Kondo.
Of course, what Kondo Keiichi only knew about the situation related to "Qin Ming". As for Luo Yao's real identity and code name in the mountain city, he had no idea.
"Kondo, you are telling a story, how is this possible!"
"Kondo, don't make excuses for your own fault. Are you making up such a story just to get rid of your own responsibility?"
"Kondo, you, a loser, should commit suicide by septum and should not appear here!"
The accusations made Kondo's face turn pale.
Obviously, he did not expect that he did not exaggerate the words, but not only did he not understand them, but he was subjected to unreasonable abuse and accusations.
The failure of the Hunan-Jiangxi combat plan must be blamed. After finally catching one, you must push it all at once.
"Sujing, what Kondo-kun told sounds like a magical story, but can he escape responsibility by making up such a story?" Seishiro Itagaki snorted coldly, suppressing the messy voice directly.
"The intelligence about the black room in China was obtained by Kondo at a huge cost. I can understand that the failure of the Hunan-Jiangxi battle and the base camp held accountable, which does not mean that we cannot reflect on the reasons for our failure. The intelligence brought by Kondo about our secret telegrams and communications have been deciphered by the Chinese military has been confirmed. This military secret translation agency is also the department that Kondo has been tracking. In order to reverse the situation, Kondo did not hesitate to take risks and sneaked into Xiangcheng alone and joined a special agent team that sneaked in first. As a result, because of the exposure of our lurking intelligence team, the entire operation failed. He was almost exposed and brought the information back." Seishiro Itagaki explained.
Seishiro Sakagaki was a former Army Minister and is now the Chief of Staff of the Expedition Army.
He spoke to explain to Kondo Keiichi. Even if someone disagrees, he would not dare to jump up at this time and continue to make things difficult for Kondo Keiichi.
"Kondo, please continue."
"Hay, Lord Sakagaki, based on the information we have, the Military Affairs Bureau Secret Translation Office is formed like this. Please allow me to use a picture to explain..." Kondo Keiichi's life replaced a character relationship picture on the slide.
...
After listening to Keiichi Kondo's description of the "Chinese version of the black room", the entire conference room was silent. If Keiichi Kondo made up a story to hide his guilt, it would be understandable.
But fabricate an organization out of thin air.
This is like impossible. Are all fools here doing information?
Because this is so easy to verify, Japan's intelligence agencies are still very capable. Even if they cannot verify all of them, as long as they verify some of them, they can still be confirmed.
Today's meeting was arranged by Seishiro Sakagaki. It is obvious that if it is a story, the chief of staff of the Dangdang Send Army was full and called so many people over to listen to Kei Kondo tell a story?
"Kondo, where did you come from these intelligence information?" As the intelligence minister of the dispatching army, Takeo Imai stood up and asked.
"Imai Kun, it's confidential and there is nothing to tell me." Kondo Keiichi refused to answer this question.
"What is this secret? Is Kondo Kan worried that the people here will leak the secret?" A Japanese Nakasa stood up and asked loudly.
"Since it's a secret, naturally the fewer people know, the better."
"Okay, I can guarantee that the sources of Kondo's information are based on evidence, not fabricated out of thin air." Seishiro Itagaki spoke at the right time to relieve the siege of Kondo Keiichi.
"Everyone is clear about the situation that Kondo is told, right?" Sakagaki Seishiro stood up and supported his hands on the conference table. "I call everyone here today and let Kondo tell you about this situation. In order to tell you, our communication security must be paid attention to in the future. Our enemies are not as weak as we imagined. They are growing very fast. Why did I order the entire army to change the latest secret code? It is for the safety of our communications. The enemy clearly understands our every move. What a terrible thing. We have suffered a loss once, so do we have to eat it again, or even keep eating it?"
"Everyone, please continue to talk about it."
"Hay." Kei Kondo threw a grateful glance at Itagaki Seishiro and continued, "According to my analysis, this Luo Yao is actually the guise of being pushed out by the Military Control Commission. The real leader of this secret translation room is Habert Yadley. He is also the person who deciphered our communication code. However, his identity needs to be kept confidential and cannot be known by the outside world, or for his safety, the Military Control Commission has strictly protected him. Habert Yadley's freedom has even been restricted..."
"What is the identity of Luo Yao, the person whose pseudonym Qin Ming, who is mentioned by Kondo,?" asked Takeo Imai.
"He is a person who was released from the front desk, an unknown little person. It may be so convenient for the control of the Military Control Commission. However, although this person is a little person, he is also a dangerous person. If it were not for this, Dai Yunong of the Military Control Commission would not have chosen him as the person in charge of the secret interpretation room. Judging from the limited matters we know about this person, this person is bold, meticulous, and cunning. This person is the one who led the team to Xiangcheng this time. If it were not for this person, we might have already captured the secret code deciphering team established by Haubert Yadley for the Chinese."
"As far as I know, this Qin Ming has been listed as one of the dangerous people that the Imperial Intelligence Agency must kill?"
"Yes, it is precisely because of this person that our past two operations against Habert Yadley have failed, and we have also lost a lot of people, including this time in Xiangcheng, I have lost an elite squad of agents. These losses are huge, and the blood debt he committed to the empire in Shancheng is enough to show that if this person is not removed, he will inevitably become a major concern in our future." Kondo Keiichi said.
"It's exaggerating!"
"When you fight him, you will know if what I said is an exaggeration." Kondo Keiichi replied to the man with a stiff sentence.
"I believe Kondo's words will not be aimless, but don't exaggerate them too much. I think the existence of this 'black room' must be taken seriously. If the communication code is controlled by the enemy, we will be in a passive state on the battlefield." Takeo Imai is also engaged in intelligence.
He could understand Keiichi Kondo's mood at this moment. What he learned was that Keiichi Kondo was so proud of him, and he had been in this industry for so many years. When did he suffer such a big loss?
I almost lost my life.
This opponent is absolutely extraordinary. As for age, experience is important in the intelligence industry, but understanding and ability are equally important.
Some people have not been given a day of formal agent training, but they can do things you can't do.
Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice.
"The purpose of today's meeting is to inform everyone of this situation. After you go back, you must pay attention to the safety of secret communications. Once you find that secret communications leaks, you must respond immediately. Don't take it lightly. Do you understand?" Seishiro Itagaki sternly warned all the generals attending the meeting today.
"Hayi!"
