When Gu Qi heard Zuo Zhong's arrangements for him and Wu Chunyang, he slightly nodded and divided them into two groups, light and dark, which could indeed confuse the German intelligence agency and avoid being targeted by the other side's counterintelligence department.

He recalled the various cruise lines in his mind and couldn't help but frown: "How to arrange the specific itinerary? There are not many cruise ships going to Europe now, and most of them belong to Japanese companies.

The mission we perform involves arms manufacturing. If the news is leaked, the Japanese will not let us get the drawings back, and they will definitely find ways to sabotage it. Taking their boat is like a sheep in a tiger's mouth."

"Well, you are right."

Zuo Zhong expressed satisfaction with his caution, and then sneered: "But it's still a bit too polite. When will the government be able to keep secrets? The Japanese must have got the news.

Coupled with the MG08 heavy machine gun and 75mm howitzer, the performance completely suppresses the Type 92 heavy machine gun and Type 92 infantry gun. With the behavior of the Japanese military, how can it sit still and wait for death."

At this point, he took out a cruise ship schedule and pointed to one of them: "This is the French ship Intrepon, which was launched in 1913. It is not too old and is responsible for the route to the Far East.

It has a length of 161 meters, a width of 18.8 meters, a capacity of 13,200 tons, and a speed of 17 knots. If all goes well, it will only take about 35 days from Shanghai to Marseille, a port in southern France, which is much faster than Japanese cruise ships.

The most important thing is that it is the only cruise ship with luxury suites on the Asia-Europe route. Mao Yike is representing the country on this trip. According to the generous decisions of the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he will definitely choose this ship."

"It's true, it's public money anyway."

Gucci replied with a smile and lowered his head to look at the route. The Antrepon boarded the ship from the Shanghai pier and passed through the port city, Saigon, Singapore, Colombo, Djibouti and Istanbul.

After staying in Istanbul for a few days, it sailed to Marseille, where Zuo Zhong and others disembarked and took a train to Germany. They then transferred to another cruise ship to go to the UK to get rid of possible stalkers.

Zuo Zhong continued to introduce the plan on the side: "You need to use the Hong Kong City documents to enter the UK. The Hong Kong City Station will provide necessary assistance, but it is best to change the documents to Japanese ones when you arrive in France.

There are many Japanese doing business in Europe, and they are more common than Chinese. Remember, if you are caught, you must kill the Japanese and never reveal your true identity. Lao Gu, this is very important."

His expression was very serious. The Republic of China is currently in urgent need of military assistance from the Germans. If bilateral relations break down due to the actions of the Secret Service, no one can bear this responsibility.

"I understand, Deputy Director."

Gu Qi smoothed his hair and said in a very calm tone: "Not many people can survive the torture. I will ask everyone to carry poison with them and be prepared to be successful, so as not to give the enemy a chance to capture him alive.

We will also place some Japanese-style items in the luggage to try to lead the investigators' attention in the wrong direction. There will always be a day in this business, so don't worry.

It’s just that I want to ask you for someone, Shen Dongxin. He studied at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy and knows the situation in France better than all the operational personnel. He can be useful for both operations and retreats."

"Okay, go get ready."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zhong immediately agreed to the other party's request. It would be good to have a local snake as a guide. At least when dealing with local people, there would be no flaws due to some low-level mistakes.

There are many such examples in intelligence warfare.

For example, there are many one-way streets in the UK. These streets have no sidewalks and no traffic lights. Over time, British people have developed the habit of looking left and right to see if there are cars before crossing the road.

A Red Russian spy made a mistake in this regard. He crossed the road in an "atypical" way and was discovered by the police and reported to the British military intelligence department, causing huge losses to the Red Russia.

Is this an exaggeration?

Not an exaggeration.

Spies have undergone strict training and know how to hide themselves, but as long as they are human, they will be inert. After leaving a tense environment, it is easy for people to relax their vigilance and leak secrets.

Sometimes victory or defeat can be decided in an instant. Zuo Zhong thought of this unlucky colleague, and while arranging the relevant matters for the operation, he secretly told himself to be cautious and not make the same mistake.

A few days later, in a small building.

Dong Qiang, the little brother Zuo Zhong met when he was lurking in the tea shop, stood in the dark hall and swallowed. As soon as he returned to the business this morning, he was called to the office by the manager.

The other party informed that a big shot was going to meet him in the evening, and also gave him an address, asking him to go there alone after get off work, and not to disclose the matter to anyone, not even his family members.

Who could the big shot be? Could it be the boss behind the company? Dong Qiang thought of this possibility. He was not a fool. He naturally knew that the so-called information officer was the informant in the storybook.

To be able to open a trading firm in Jinling and employ so many people, he must be a big shot with great hands and eyes. The question is why do you want to see him? He has nothing worth taking advantage of.

Suddenly, a desk lamp lit up in the empty hall, and a desk appeared under the dim light. There seemed to be something on the table, which attracted Dong Qiang's attention and vigilance.

He only hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over, and then saw an envelope with a few words clearly written on it - Dong Qiang personally opened it, and it turned out to be a letter to himself.

Who put the letter here?

Where are the big shots?

But now that his name is written, let’s open it and take a look. Dongqiang’s newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. He tore off the seal carelessly, took out the letter paper, and used the lighting of the desk lamp to read it.

"Tomorrow we will go to the Hong Kong City Police Station to lurk and wait for awakening. The awakening code is Equator. The ID will be provided by the Hong Kong City response staff. You are not allowed to contact Jinling without an order. It will be destroyed after reading."

He sent himself to the Hong Kong City Police Station to lurk. Dongqiang was excited but also a little uneasy after watching it. His father was unfortunately killed while fighting pirates on Hong Kong Island. It was not a good place.

But if you want to become a master, you have to pay something. His eyes gradually became firm, and he took out the match on his body and lit the letter on fire. He watched it turn into a pile of ashes, then turned and left the small building.

"Creak...puff..."

As the door of the house was closed, someone whispered in the darkness: "This person's father has participated in the Huayong Army and has inextricable connections with the British. He is very suitable for the requirements of the operation."

"Keep a close eye on the fish. If there are signs of the fish decoupling or defecting, deal with it immediately. Lao Song, you have to pay attention to this matter. It is related to the future plans of the Secret Service." Another person said slowly.

"Yes, Deputy Director."

The two voices exchanged a few words, and Xiaokou fell into silence. At this point, Zuo Zhong's trip to Germany has entered a countdown. In the complex international intelligence battlefield, new challenges are waiting for him.

Just as Zuo Zhong expected, the Japanese had received information that the Nationalist Government had sent people to Germany to receive weapons patterns, which aroused the great attention of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters.

1924 model standard rifle.

MG08 heavy machine gun.

75mm howitzer.

Which of these three weapons is better than the weapons equipped by the basic infantry combat units of the Japanese army? No one knows better than the top mainland students wearing chrysanthemum and star badges in the General Staff Headquarters.

According to the words of some young and energetic military officers, the weapons designers of the Empire of Japan were all standard non-citizens, and they all deserved to die, lest the army soldiers die in vain.

Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Army has suffered enough from the loss of local weapons. Countless warriors have been filled with hatred. Those anti-human things cannot be imagined by the human mind.

Have you ever seen a light machine gun loaded with a five-round magazine? Have you ever seen a light machine gun that pours oil while loading? Have you ever seen a light machine gun with a barrel that stops to dissipate heat after firing two or three hundred rounds? They have seen it.

—Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun.

Have you ever seen a heavy machine gun with only thirty bullets? Have you ever seen a heavy machine gun that weighs 55.3 kilograms? Have you ever seen a heavy machine gun that requires four people to carry it when maneuvering? They have seen it too.

—Type 92 heavy machine gun.

If the Chinese army is fully equipped with cutting-edge German weapons, once a war breaks out between China and Japan, the firepower of the imperial army will not be able to form an overwhelming advantage and achieve a quick victory.

After the deduction, the staff officers expressed that the Empire of Japan's manpower and material resources were afraid that it would not be able to withstand this result. Not only was the Japanese General Staff Headquarters unable to sit still, but even the locusts were alarmed.

Meetings, meetings all the time.

The relevant heads of the Japanese Army Ministry, Navy Ministry, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. gathered together, and while arguing and passing the buck, finally came to a decision, and the Army Ministry sent people to intercept it.

This is not surprising at all. The weapons accepted by the government cannot threaten ships, let alone the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No one is willing to put precious intelligence resources in Europe. The risk is too high.

The meeting broke up unhappily, and the generals of the Army Staff Headquarters came back with a dark face, using the spies they had trained at great cost. Thinking about it made them feel distressed, damn Navy Red Deer.

The Chief of the General Staff Headquarters, Prince Hanin Gong Zaijin, looked relaxed, as if he did not take this matter to heart. He walked into the conference room of the General Staff Headquarters leisurely, sat down and looked around.

The youngest field marshal in Japan saw the expressions of his men and laughed: "Don't worry, I have already communicated with Hirota Koki and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for assistance.

The Imperial Embassy in Germany will send personnel from the Special High School Division to collect relevant intelligence. Let Doihara of the Kwantung Army send people to the War Department. He has many elites who are good at this work."

The generals' eyes lit up. With the intelligence support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kwantung Army operation, this matter should be foolproof. It doesn't matter even if all the operators die. The Ministry of War has plenty of postcards.

After the matter was resolved, everyone present regained their former majesty and complimented His Excellency the Prince for his ingenuity. The staff headquarters was full of joy, and it was a joyous scene.
