Far away in New York, Edison was overjoyed about signing this big contract with the Navy. He had no idea what kind of disturbance one of his lies would cause in the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the world.
But what is certain is that the Ming Empire's Imperial Security Bureau immediately sounded the alarm, and the agents of the Security Bureau immediately took action and began to investigate suspicious objects.
In the intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the three external intelligence agencies of the Imperial Investigation Department, the General Staff Intelligence Bureau and the Naval Intelligence Bureau, the Imperial Security Bureau has just established two agencies, which together with the first three are specialized in overseas intelligence work.
Differently, the mission of the Security Bureau is very simple. They are responsible for domestic security work, and counterintelligence is their full-time job.
Compared with the battlefield, there is no smoke in this battlefield, and it is also extremely cruel.
Almost immediately after the Security Bureau received the intelligence report, they immediately organized capable agents and began to investigate the Telephone and Telegraph Company's laboratory.
"It's simply impossible!"
In the Security Bureau's special team office, Jing Zaigui looked at the clues written on the blackboard, threw the chalk away and said.
"What's impossible?"
Team leader Wu Zhentai asked rhetorically.
"It was impossible for the people Edison came into contact with to come into contact with the "radio station." Although the radio station was a product of the Imperial Central Laboratory, it was developed by the Special Products Department, and the researchers in the Denden Company Laboratory were
In the past few years, no one has entered Area 32, which means that it is impossible for them to come into contact with Area 32 products."
Jing Zaigui paused for a moment, and then said with great certainty.
"So it is impossible for Edison to obtain information about the "radio station" from the people he contacted!"
"So, do the people he has come into contact with have any chance of being indirectly exposed to Area 32 products? I mean indirectly!"
The team leader's rhetorical question made Jing Zaigui speak directly.
"There are at most three people between people. If there is indirect contact, there will definitely be, but more than two people will have no meaning. Judging from the information currently available, there is no connection between Edison and Area 32.
Regarding direct or meaningful indirect connections, I feel that no matter how much we investigate, we will not be able to find a reason, so I think the focus should be on..."
After thinking about it, Jing Zaigui said.
"It should be focused on counterintelligence. This matter..."
"This matter must be investigated to the end!"
Wu Zhentai gave the order directly.
"If this leak is not unearthed, the military department will definitely not be able to sleep peacefully. When the time comes, we will definitely be blamed. After all, our Security Bureau is responsible for counterintelligence! Now that there is such a big leak, we
If we can't get to the bottom of it, how could the military let us go..."
After that, Wu Zhentai lowered his voice and said.
"The Navy Department is said to be very unhappy. The director told us that if we don't get to the bottom of things and find out who leaked the information, the Naval Intelligence Agency will probably send their agents to directly participate in the investigation. You said this is not just to attack us.
What a shame! In short, the director’s order is very clear, and it is to get to the bottom of it!”
How to check to the end?
Facing the team leader's order, Jing Zaigui even missed the work in the interrogation room. Compared with the work here, the work there was simpler and more direct. Like this, it was like checking and checking.
I'm confused.
Facing this guy who had no clue at all, Jing Zaigui had a headache.
But there is no other way. The commander has an order, so let’s check it out!
Please continue to search further.
Of course, all this was done secretly, and the outside world knew nothing about it. However, for the military attaches in the embassies of various countries, they still learned about Ming Dynasty's ongoing counterintelligence operations through various channels.
As for Bryan, who had just returned to Yingtian from the front line, he immediately fell into panic. In the past few years, he had been engaged in intelligence work in Ming Dynasty. Even his return this time was because
A piece of information.
Can I still go now?
Brian hesitated a little, but despite his hesitation, he finally made a decision.
"John, I have to meet him once. This time on the front line, I learned a secret!"
Facing his subordinates, Brian said in a rather excited tone.
"The Ming Dynasty's military has equipped a new type of machine gun. This machine gun does not require a hand crank or electric motor like the Gatling gun. It uses an extremely special principle to shoot continuously and is very light. I
My contact person told me that there is indeed such a weapon..."
"Major, are you crazy?"
Before Brian could finish speaking, John interrupted him and said.
"Now the whole of Yingtian knows that the agents of the Imperial Security Bureau are investigating spies everywhere, and many people have been arrested. If you meet him now, you are simply asking for death. What if that guy is released by the Security Bureau?
The bait, you will be finished by then!"
Staring at his boss, John reminded him specifically.
"Major, although you work in the embassy, according to current laws, military attaches do not have diplomatic immunity when engaging in espionage activities. If they arrest you, you will definitely be imprisoned or even executed!"
"If I don't go, we are likely to miss the last chance to obtain that kind of weapon. God can testify that if the Ming people really have that kind of weapon, we must also have it."
After that, Brian put on the top hat and said.
"John, I will hide in the trunk of the car in a minute. You just need to go to Yangtian Department Store."
Ten minutes later, a black Maxima car drove away from the embassy. After the car left the embassy, a Maxima car also followed. Looking at the following car in the rearview mirror, John did not
Ignoring it, he went to Yangtian Department Store as planned. He parked the car casually on the side of the road, and John entered the department store. After almost half an hour, Blair, who had been hiding in the trunk, quietly left the trunk.
Take the box and walk towards the agreed place.
After arriving at the park, Blair saw the chess field in the park. His coordinator was sitting there, seemingly studying the remaining chess pieces on the table, so he walked over.
"Can I accompany you for the next game?"
"certainly!"
When two people were playing chess, the other party quietly handed over a file bag and said.
"Everything you want is here."
With a smile on his face, Blair put the file bag away. Almost at this moment, someone suddenly rushed towards him. At the moment when Bran was completely crushed, before he could reply,
After thinking about it, just listen to what the other person said.
