When spring is warm and flowers are blooming, Zhengzhou suddenly experiences a drizzle.
From morning to night, the entire city was shrouded in silence.
The eastern suburbs of the city are a small town, adjacent to the traffic on Chengguan Official Road, and it also looks very prosperous.
The intelligence organization that Yuan Su calls the special agent team has always regarded this place as an important value target, because the only place in Dongcheng District that can connect to the city gate without entering the city gate is here. It goes southeast along the town, and soon
It can also reach Tongxu Railway Station in the south of Kaifeng. It is an important transportation hub.
Since the mission was assigned to this day, the special agent team has been lurking in the small town for almost two and a half months, almost instantly blending into the local people from unfamiliar faces. There are only a total of only 100 intelligence officers sent here to perform the mission.
Nine people, but the Third Brigade has deployed more than ten officers and soldiers from the secret service company to wait for deployment, and a strict surveillance network has been set up here. Not only that, this mission is the first time that the secret service team has tried the technology of eavesdropping on telegrams.
.
In the early morning of March 15th, the monitoring team finally screened out a hidden telegram from numerous telegram messages.
Hidden electricity is different from encrypted electricity. The latter means that the content of the message is encrypted in a specific way. Hidden electricity focuses on hiding the traces of telegram transmission. However, in this era, there are no particularly superb technical means, so either choose to generate electricity in the middle of the night.
Telegrams, or hidden in other telegrams. As long as the eavesdropper can check them one by one, it will still be difficult to hide them.
Although the special agent team was unable to detect Zhu Panzao's message to Hankou in time during the period of monitoring the telegraph line, it was able to catch the solemn message sent back from Hankou. Not only that, it was precisely because of this breakthrough.
Based on the clues, the monitoring team further locked the telegraph line and recorded all the telegrams exchanged between the two sides in the past few days.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the espionage mission, the secret service would not be exposed soon. The secret service team recorded all the telegrams between Zhengzhou and Hankou in the past few days before summarizing them and reporting them to Yuan Su. Anyway, based on these records,
According to the telegram, the two parties agreed to send people to meet in the middle of the month, and no other actions would be taken during the period before the meeting.
After reading this series of reports, Yuan Su's expression changed on the spot. Although he had made a lot of psychological preparations, after all, many things were unpredictable, just like he had just contacted Cao Kun, and Zhu Panzao was following him.
When the news was released later, it was not so much a coincidence as it was an unpredictable situation.
Chen Wenian, Jiang Baili, and Guo Wenyuan immediately approached Yuan Su about this issue, hoping to persuade Yuan Su to simply give up the implementation of the Hankou plan. Anyway, with these evidences here, it would be good to get the Zhengzhou side settled first. As long as they can
After completing the unification of the Guards, the military strength on hand alone would have a considerable advantage in conquering Hankou.
Yuan Su was not in a hurry to answer. He had been thinking deeply while reading the report. What he was confused about was whether Cao Kun believed Zhu Panzao's words? On the surface, it seemed that Cao Kun was half-convinced. If he really believed it,
There was no need to discuss sending people to meet and communicate. On the contrary, sending people to meet and communicate seemed to be in response to his request, deliberately sending people to create some excuses. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to believe that Cao Kun would really do this.
Yes, if Cao Kun was really willing to cooperate with him, he would have sent Zhu Panzao's tip-off to him long ago.
"You are right. The top priority is to deal with the Zhengzhou side first. As for the Hankou side... wait until the Zhengzhou side is completely settled."
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be." Guo Wenyuan nodded in agreement.
"Commander-in-Chief, where should we start? Should we just take the telegram and take action? I think this should be done sooner rather than later. We must take action first. Once Zhu Panzao is prepared, the Fifth Division may mobilize at any time.
Come back to the city, it won't be easy by then." Chen Wennian suggested.
Although Guo Wenyuan and Chen Wenian breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Baili always felt that Yuan Su would not give up the Hankou plan easily, but he could not cause any more disputes about this matter at this time. Since there is a top priority, he must clearly distinguish the things
The priority.
"Don't be anxious. Since both sides have discussed sending people to meet, we will wait for someone from Hankou to come and steal the stolen goods directly." Yuan Su said unhurriedly, he had already figured it out in his mind.
Outline of action method.
"Commander Yuan, are you planning to deal with Zhu Panzao alone, or are you going to eradicate all the others as well?" Guo Wenyuan asked seriously.
"Yes, it would be much easier if we just deal with Zhu Panzao alone. But if we want to eradicate everyone, I am afraid that the people sent from Hankou will be dishonest by then. If we talk nonsense and attract public criticism, even if we end up
Even if you can control everyone, you can't easily take over their army." Chen Wenian said with some worry.
"It is best to keep some people, but these people will not pose too much of a threat to us, such as Tian Wenlie and Lu Jin. Although Tian Wenlie is the commander of the Second Division and a person with qualifications and prestige,
He is most loyal to my uncle, but as long as the overall situation is in control, he can't stand alone. As for Lu Jin, he is just a brigade commander. Not to mention his small number of troops, even Zhu Panzao doesn't regard him as himself, so it's nothing to worry about." Yuan
He said slowly and calmly.
"That's okay. As long as Tian Wenlie can see clearly, supporting us will not help. At least it can remove a lot of suspicion. But I am afraid that Tian Wenlie will be suspicious. Let's do it all at once.
The division commanders and chiefs of staff of several divisions were all detained. The action was so obvious and the purpose was so obvious that no one would doubt it." Guo Wenyuan said.
"If Tian Wenlie is really suspicious, a fierce fight is bound to happen. In short, we have to keep a hand in this regard to ensure that we can pre-emptively strike without delay. Of course, we must first try our best to convince Tian Wenlie to accept this fact, so we
We also need to put some effort into the person sent from Hankou." Yuan Su said meaningfully.
"So, we must intercept the people sent from Hankou first." Guo Wenyuan asked.
"Yes, we must first intercept the people sent from Hankou. In short, let everyone below pay more attention during this period. The monitoring of telegrams must also be followed up to find out when the people from Hankou will arrive, where they will go, and how to follow them.
Zhu Panzao's connection is here." Yuan Su said in an emphatic tone.
"Understand, this matter is of great importance, and we will definitely do it ourselves." Guo Wenyuan solemnly agreed.
We chatted for a while about the plan for a raid, how to avoid disturbing more people, and ensure that no fish slipped through the net, so as to control the situation in Zhengzhou in the shortest possible time. In the past two months, we have generally been in Zhengzhou
A lot of preparations have been made inside and outside the city, and the actions can definitely be efficient, but after all, there are many targets, and it is impossible to guarantee that none will be left.
In addition, Chen Wennian also reported on the current work of bribing the divisions under the Guards and the division commander's personal personnel. This is almost a matter of throwing money, and sometimes even if money is spent, it may not be effective.
At present, there are not many officials who can be confirmed to have bribed, and none of them hold important positions in the military. However, there are many officials who have "colluded". These "colluded" officials will not agree to assist Yuan Su, but occasionally they will reveal some
Useful news, only when Yuan Su can work together to control the overall situation, will these "colluded" officials follow the trend. To put it simply, the "colluded" officials take the money and then answer
