Director Xu is in a dilemma, but as the direct leader of Zhongtong, no one will believe him if he doesn't have any wisdom at all.
He quickly found the breakthrough point of the whole matter, which was the gold that sank to the bottom of the sea.
If this gold is really at the bottom of the sea, then what Cao Ying said is right.
But if there is no gold in the location Cao Ying said, then it can be concluded that Cao Ying is lying, and Duanwu is most likely an underground party.
Thinking of this, Director Xu ordered: "Send a message to Cao Ying and tell him that I will dispatch manpower to Shanghai as soon as possible and make sure to keep an eye on the gold."
"yes!"
The agents from the Telecommunications Division took the order and immediately called Cao Ying back.
Cao Ying translated and read the above content and was slightly happy, because the whole thing was developing as she wanted to see.
As long as the higher-ups believe she has gold and send people down to investigate, it means that although the higher-ups don't completely believe her, they don't believe it at all.
But the whole thing was originally true, except for her identity as an underground party. In addition, the order was given by Duanwu, and Zhou Weiguo was the witness, so the whole thing was impeccable.
Next, let’s see what the above means and whether we can let her be the webmaster of the Shanghai station.
Thinking of this, Cao Ying replied, then turned off the radio, quickly hid the radio and left Apartment No. 313.
This secret foothold cannot be exposed.
Cao Ying calculated that it took less than fifteen minutes for him to generate electricity, and in such a short period of time, even if the Japanese had advanced electronic reconnaissance equipment, they would never be able to find this place.
Of course, Cao Ying would not take the risk of staying in Apartment No. 313, because she had injuries on her body that she would not be able to explain if the Japanese came to search her.
So, she left the apartment and returned to the place Ma Pingan had found for her.
As for the liaison stations at the Zhongtong Shanghai Station, Cao Ying had to wait until her injuries were better before contacting them.
Because today's Shanghai is in turmoil, there are fewer and fewer people you can trust.
At the same time, the little devils naturally failed. They mobilized a large number of people and went to the concession to search. As a result, Cao Ying sent a report not long after entering the concession.
But the unwilling Japs did not leave, freezing like a dog with its tail between its legs in the cold wind.
It was not until twelve o'clock at night that the Japanese concluded that the other party would not send any more telegrams today, and then left in despair.
But the matter is not over yet, because the Japanese have discovered at least six radio stations in Shanghai, two of which they have cracked, one belongs to the Military Command, and the other belongs to the Central Command.
The military commander's agents were smarter and escaped by jumping out of the window. The Japanese only got the broken radio station.
But the Zhongtong agents were not so lucky. Two people were blocked in the house. One of them was beaten to death by the Japs, the other was wounded and captured, and the radio station was also seized by the Japs. Among them was part of the code book.
It turned out that the two men also discovered the Japanese. One of them held a gun to block the Japanese, and the other set a fire and burned the secret code.
But it was a pity that the Japs acted very quickly. The agent who fired to stop the Japs was shot dead by the Japs. Another agent lit up the code book and was about to smash the radio, but the Japs had already rushed in.
The Zhongtong agent was shot in the abdomen, the radio station was taken away by the Japanese, and most of the code book was trampled and burned.
The injured agent was also captured by the Japanese and taken to the gendarmerie.
The injured agent would rather die than give in, and finally hit the wall and died when the Japanese were not paying attention. Because no one in the Japanese gendarmerie could come out alive. When the injured agent saw the torture instruments on the wall, he knew what he was about to encounter, so he directly
He hit the wall and ended his life.
The Japanese officer cursed angrily, but it was of no use, because after a person is dead, even if you stab him with a bayonet a hundred times, he will not be able to speak again.
So this time, the Japanese got almost nothing except a small part of the code book.
However, the little devils did not give up. They were taking the cipher code to find cryptography experts to decipher the cipher code used by Zhongtong.
Of course, this will take time. At least in a short period of time, they will not be able to know the specific content of the telegrams exchanged between the Central Committee and the Communist Party of China.
Time passed by like a fleeting moment, and the night passed in an instant.
On the next day, December 24, the Japanese continued to hunt for rebels and tried to find the sunken ship.
Because before, Matsui Iwane had concluded that the stolen gold should have traveled by water.
Then a mysterious ship appeared sailing into the high seas, and many Japanese saw it.
The interception failed, and the speedboat disappeared after entering the high seas.
The Japanese wanted to continue the pursuit, but the sea was too big. If they wanted to intercept the enemy, they would have to mobilize all their fleets and add water reconnaissance planes.
But with such a massive mobilization of troops, I'm afraid that once the gold is recovered, the manpower and material resources the Japanese will need will far exceed the money.
Therefore, the Japanese could only consider themselves unlucky and give up the hunt on the high seas.
But what no one expected was that the boat actually came back.
Although the Japanese did not dare to conclude that the ship that was sunk was the ship that had escaped before, because after all, it was not the Japanese warship that had previously come into contact with the small boat that sank it.
So the Japanese were searching for the sunken boat with a lucky mentality.
But the search scope is still very large.
At that time, the Japanese ships were at least two to three nautical miles away from the small boats, and the shelling was carried out in a hurry.
It can be said that the Japanese artillery must have had some bad luck. He just aimed and fired casually and hit the target. Then the boat caught fire and disappeared on the sea level.
When the Japanese warship arrived, they only saw wooden planks floating on the sea, some life-saving equipment, furniture in the cabin and other items.
The Japanese speculated that the boat had been sunk, otherwise the things on the sea would be unexplainable.
But they didn't know the exact location of the sunken ship, because there was wind on the sea at that time, and these things on the sea were most likely blown by the wind.
In addition, the location of the sunken ship is more than five nautical miles away from the coastline, and the visibility under the sea is very low, so it is not that easy to search for the sunken ship.
And they need professional diving equipment.
So so far, the little Japanese warships are just surrounding it, but they have not carried out salvage or undersea searches.
This scene was all seen in Cao Ying's eyes. She was very anxious, but she had no choice but to wait for the Japanese to leave and then find someone to go down and take a look.
In other words, it is impossible for the Japanese to find the sunken ship at their current location. This is because Cao Ying, who was injured, made arrangements before the ship sank.
Part of the debris floating on the sea comes from wood chips, ship planks, etc. produced after the explosion of Japanese artillery shells.
As for the furniture and some survival facilities, including some fuel drums, Cao Ying and the captain threw them down.
The first is to reduce the weight of the hull, and the second is to confuse the enemy!
