Nimitz's report requesting an immediate departure to the Pacific was quickly submitted to Truman. After receiving the report, Truman did not rush to approve it, but instead called Donovan.
"General Nimitz believes that now is an excellent time to march into the Pacific to find a decisive battle with the Chinese. I think this is also an opportunity for us to find out the Chinese spies hidden around us," Truman said straight to the point after Donovan arrived.
Although Kong Lingyi's intelligence work was covert, Americans were not fools. After several consecutive leaks of high-level secrets, although Hoover's FBI and Donovan's Office of Strategic Services failed to discover any clues, Truman still
He determined that something was wrong with the people around him, and therefore strengthened his counterintelligence work.
"You mean we spread the word first and then lure the Chinese to take the bait?"
"They may not be Chinese. You have been staring at Kong Lingyi for so long. Have you found anything useful?"
In Washington, the only Chinese who can interact with the upper class of the United States is Kong Lingyi. Naturally, Kong Lingyi has become a key target of surveillance. But so far, whether it is Hoover's FBI or Donovan's Office of Strategic Services, although
They placed many spies around Kong Lingyi, but they never found anything.
Donovan shook his head. Donovan actually suspected that some high-level government figures had been bribed by the Chinese government and acted as shameful traitors. However, because he also found nothing, he did not dare to jump to conclusions. After all, this was very
Offending people.
"No matter who is colluding with the Chinese, they will always convey intelligence through telegrams, and the Pacific Fleet's expedition to the Pacific must fall into the category of intelligence being collected. Let's do it this way, Nimitz, I will come back a few days later
Give an answer."
Of course, Donovan had to carry out the tasks assigned by the president himself meticulously. After leaving the White House, he immediately set out to arrange the tasks. First, he secretly summoned more than a hundred radio listening vehicles from all over the United States, specifically for the purpose of monitoring the streets of Washington.
Secondly, he personally served as the team leader and established a deciphering team composed of more than thirty experts and professors.
After everything was ready on Donovan's side, Truman released the news through the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the U.S. Pacific Fleet would once again go to the Pacific to fight.
Truman attached great importance to this counterintelligence operation, which he named "Whack-a-Mole". After the news got out, he would go to the Office of Strategic Services to personally supervise the implementation whenever he had time.
Although nothing unusual was found in Kong Lingyi through long-term surveillance, Donovan still listed her as the number one surveillance target. For this reason, he not only specially allocated two surveillance vehicles to follow Kong Lingyi's actions, but also sent an additional group of detectives.
The officer is responsible for monitoring Kong Lingyi.
Kong Lingyi has long been aware of the special attention paid to her by the Americans. She is bold and often acts unexpectedly. At the end of last year, she even made a fuss in the White House over this matter, and won the honor for it.
A biographer of the "Washington Post" favored her and conducted an exclusive interview with her. It was precisely because she had gained a certain degree of popularity in American society and had a smuggling channel in her hands that she was able to avoid
He was directly invited to drink tea, but was able to continue to make trouble in Washington (Ouyang Yun's statement).
From a domineering second-generation female official of a wealthy family to today's senior spy, Kong Lingyi's life experience is enough to write a best-selling book. It is precisely because he has been living under the surveillance of American agents that Kong Lingyi's sense of crisis is particularly sensitive. For example,
Now, although Donovan feels that the work of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau is carried out very covertly, Kong Lingyi has already felt it.
In this regard, Kong Lingyi made the decision to remain calm and continue to do his own thing.
Do your own thing! Yes, our Miss Kong is doing something big during this time, which is the wife's revolution.
The name of the Wives Club at this time was still called "Women's Mutual Aid Association". Kong Lingyi joined this salon-like feminist organization formed by a group of American aristocratic women out of boredom. The original intention was to find a next owner to take over the smuggled goods. However, she joined it.
After a long time, because she discovered that the status of women in the United States was much higher than that in the country, and American women were very concerned about national affairs, her spy instinct made her think that she might be able to do something with it.
Kong Lingyi has a secret smuggling channel in his hands, and both Truman and Donovan know about it. From the standpoint of the United States, of course they should resolutely oppose and crack down. However, because through this smuggling channel, some comparisons can be obtained from China
Advanced electronic products and some relatively scarce medicines, coupled with the involvement of several domestic consortiums in the United States, eventually became a taboo among the top leaders of the United States. Everyone, including Truman, turned a blind eye to it.
Close one eye and pretend you don't see it.
This attitude of the U.S. government naturally fueled Kong Lingyi's arrogance. Therefore, even though she knew that she was a key target of surveillance by the Americans, she still acted unscrupulously and looked like a big-hearted and brainless person.
I have to admit that this is a good disguise for her spy identity.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Kong Lingyi, wearing a denim overalls, went out. She just stepped into the car. In a building about thirty corns away from her, someone shouted into the microphone: "The owl calls the vulture."
, the fox is out of the den!”
"Vulture received it, we will arrange for someone to follow!"
The people sent by Donovan to monitor Kong Lingyi were all good agents of the Strategic Intelligence Service. What they never expected was that their hard work would lead to the early outbreak of the "Wife Revolution".
Kong Lingyi circulates in the upper class of the United States and often has the opportunity to hear some major news. Yesterday, at a friend's house, I learned that the British had successfully blocked the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar to block the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet Wu Dao Tian Wang in the Mediterranean Sea.
She had a sense of crisis at that time and believed that the outbreak of the "Wives' Revolution" should be accelerated - "The United States must be brought into chaos as soon as possible, so that Truman cannot concentrate on dealing with China!" Based on such a simple and even naive idea,
, Kong Lingyi made repeated phone calls last night and invited some of her best friends to meet at the headquarters of the Women's Mutual Aid Association.
The Women's Mutual Aid Association actually had considerable influence in American society at this time, but no senior U.S. military and political officials, including Truman, regarded it as a threat.
The reason is very simple. In the words of Truman: "All American men have gone to the military, and their women always need a place to vent their excess energy. If the women's mutual aid association can distract their energy, I think the government should not promote it even if it does not promote it.
