Although the first attempt to assassinate Stalin failed, after the failure, Lyushkov was not willing to let Stalin continue to live in this world.
The anxious Japanese military and Ryusikov actually felt the same way. They were also eager to remove the stumbling blocks on their way to domination of East Asia.
After all, Japan is now divided into two factions, the "Northward Advance" and the "Southward Advance".
But if they wanted to go north, the Soviet Union was an obstacle they could not bypass, so the Japanese planned a second assassination plan.
And this time, their planning is even more "perfect" because they are ready to cooperate with Germany.
On March 10, 1939, the head of the Japanese Military Secret Service and the China Section Chief of the Central China Dispatch Army flew to Berlin, Germany, and came to the SS headquarters on Wilhelmstrasse and met with the German SS captain and police chief.
This time, Japan and Germany are preparing to join forces to carry out "Operation Flowers".
The core of this action plan is: assassinate Stalin in Moscow’s Red Square!
As for the specific action, they selected four well-trained agents to dress up as Soviet Red Army officers, sneak into Russia from Poland, secretly enter Moscow, and plant a time bomb in front of the crystal coffin of Lenin's tomb.
The detonation time was set at 10 a.m. on May Day, International Labor Day, which is when Stalin stepped onto the reviewing stand.
Ryusikov was one of the four agents who narrowly escaped during the execution of the "Bear Hunting Plan".
On April 16, the Ryusikov Commando set out from Germany, preparing to sneak into the Soviet Union via Lithuania.
The commando team led by Lyushkov and others also successfully infiltrated into the Soviet Union this time and stayed in a hotel in Moscow.
But they never imagined that the Soviet army already knew where they lived before they entered the country.
Although Li Wei was not involved in this incident, the Soviet Union still detected this information in advance through their intelligence personnel.
A Japanese secret intelligence team called "Telekin" in Russian detected this information and informed the Soviet Union in advance.
In the Soviet Union, since the incident of the Sorge team code-named "Ramza", the intelligence officer code-named "Shadow" in the Telekin team has become the Soviet Union's only ace spy in Asia. The Soviet intelligence agency has
This gave him strict protection, so that this trump card was still effective after the end of World War II.
On April 28, the Soviet internal security troops surrounded the hotel. After a burst of gunfire, the second operation jointly planned by Germany and Japan to assassinate Stalin also ended in failure.
However, according to Li Wei's guess, the two consecutive "assassinations" must have made the Soviet Union very angry. After all, Stalin was the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, and the Japanese actually assassinated their top leader twice in succession.
No one can bear it!
So this time the conflict between the Soviet Union and the Japanese has a lot of inside stories!
Of course, basically no one cares about the specific reasons for the conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan, because everyone only looks at the process and results.
For now, the Chinese government very much hopes that this battle will continue. If it expands into a full-scale war between the Soviet Union and the Japanese, Chang Shenkai may wake up laughing even if he falls asleep.
Therefore, during this period, Chang Shenkai also directly ordered all ministries to pay close attention to the conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan. If possible, Chang Shenkai even wanted to take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.
Of course, not only the Kuomintang, but everyone in China who knows the news is also very concerned about this matter.
But Li Wei didn't care a little. Although he also received a secret message from Dai Li, asking him to do his best to collect information in this area, after he received the secret message, he handed the matter over to Chen Xuan and asked him to
Spread the word among Shanghai's intelligence brokers.
Then……
Then Li Wei didn't care much about it.
After all, the outcome of this conflict was destined. In this conflict, the Japanese were defeated and the Soviet Union won a complete victory. However, the two countries were very restrained and did not expand the local conflict.
Of course, in this conflict, Germany will also play a big role later on, stabbing Japan in the back.
However, Germany does this because Germany has its own strategic goals.
As for the impact of this conflict, it is actually quite significant, but that is all for another day!
Although Li Wei already had some guesses about the information Chen Xuan had obtained, he still had to pretend to know nothing about it, go take a look, and then send the information back to Chongqing.
As for what will happen to Dai Li after he gets this information, Li Wei can't guess!
"Jingle Bell."
Just when Levi was lost in thought, the phone in his office rang.
"Hello."
"Okay, I'll see you later."
After Li Wei answered the phone, he paused slightly when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone, and then answered softly.
Soon, Levi stood up and left the office.
The call was from Zhang Guoxin, asking for a meeting.
After two years of operation, everyone in Shanghai knows that he has a very good relationship with Zhang Guoxin, the man from the patrol house in the French Concession. Zhang Guoxin has even declared to the outside world more than once that he is the backer of Youan Trading Company.
The reason why Youan Trading Company has developed so well in Shanghai is that Kondo Yoshinori is here, and Zhang Guoxin is there on the other hand.
Zhang Guoxin can now be regarded as a high-ranking official in the patrol room of the French Concession, so people in Shanghai basically have to give him some face in the concession.
It is precisely because of this that he and I are good friends on the surface, so it is normal for good friends to meet, drink tea, and chat.
Of course, Li Wei also understood that Zhang Guoxin would not take the initiative to find him if there was nothing wrong, so during the phone call just now, Zhang Guoxin said that if he was free, he agreed without any hesitation when everyone got together.
.
Three hours later, Li Wei and Zhang Guoxin said goodbye to each other outside a restaurant, and then they went home.
"Oh, a storm is coming!" Li Wei, who was sitting in the car, no longer smiled like he had just been with Zhang Guoxin, but frowned slightly, and then said to himself.
The driver, Fang Xueming, didn't say a word and focused on driving.
There are some things that he cannot know, and those who work as intelligence agents should listen less and read less so that they can live longer.
Although I say that my husband is not the kind of person who will kill the cunning rabbit and be cooked by the lackeys, he should still be measured.
