Chapter 1285: Something but not much
In the dark alley, Hase Ryosuke wrapped his windbreaker and looked behind him. His feet quickened his pace, and the heels of his shoes made a crisp echo on the wet stone road.
Melbourne's climate in July and August is exactly the opposite of that in the northern hemisphere. The monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean brings a little chill to the city. The fishy sea breeze reminds people that this place is not far from the icy Bass Strait.
As a few withered yellow leaves were blown up by the wind, the footsteps in the alley stopped suddenly, and then started again a moment later, and the fallen leaves quietly fell to the damp ground.
A ray of light shined through the light gray clouds. Hase Ryosuke, who was walking in a hurry, lowered his head and looked at the note in his hand. There was only a short sentence on the note. After reading it, Hase immediately put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Dozens of minutes later, the Japanese action team settled down.
Saburo Jingguchi, Tongsuo, Wu Sibao, Xing Hanliang and several Japanese spy leaders came to a small room, and they found places to sit down.
Hase Ryosuke, standing in the center of the room, looked at everyone. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Saburo Iguchi, which made him frown slightly.
"Mr. Hase, when will the operation begin? I still have important combat missions in the Republic of China. I am unable to stay in Australia for a long time. Please forgive me."
After waiting for so many days in vain, Saburo Iguchi spoke in a very tough tone, not saving any face for Hase, the person in charge of the operation.
Not only Jingguo, but several other Japanese spy leaders also raised questions. They arrived in Australia for several days and did nothing serious except eating and drinking every day.
Intelligence investigation, no.
Specific deployment, no.
These people come from different systems, including the military and the cabinet. They are not afraid of Changgu at all, and their words are inevitably a bit fierce.
Hase Ryosuke pressed his hands down and said slowly: "Iguchi-kun, I summoned everyone here to arrange the operation. Please be patient and calm."
After speaking, he looked around the room: "According to reliable intelligence, the Germans have taken action. I decided to steal the penicillin formula directly after the other party succeeded."
Including Tongsuo and Xing Hanliang, everyone looked at Hase Ryosuke in surprise. Japan and Germany are allies, and doing so will definitely affect the relationship between the two countries.
Saburo Iguchi suddenly stood up and said with wide eyes: "The Empire and Germany cooperate in many aspects. We cannot attack the Germans just for a pharmaceutical formula. This is extremely short-sighted behavior."
The implication is not that it is impossible to attack the Germans, but that it is not worth it. Although penicillin is important, it is not important enough to break the alliance between the two countries.
Hase Ryosuke looked helpless: "Iguchi-kun, you have studied in Europe and the United States for many years, don't you know the embarrassment of yellow people in white society? We are too easily exposed here.
As long as we move quickly enough, if you don't say it or I don't say it, who knows it is the empire that is doing it. We can disguise ourselves as agents of the Republic of China and put the responsibility on Shancheng. "
Tongsuo and Xing Han's consciences tightened, and they cursed secretly that the Japanese were really insidious. If the Germans moved to Shancheng because of this, the consequences would be disastrous.
Saburo Iguchi's expression softened slightly. It turns out that this is the case. It can be discussed. They all can speak the Republic of China dialect, and they do have the foundation to divert trouble to the east.
For example, after the operation, people were sent to pretend to be people from the Republic of China and move around the scene.
Another example is deliberately leaving clues related to the intelligence agencies of the Republic of China to disrupt the investigation direction of the Australian police.
While the people present were thinking, Hase Ryosuke spoke again and explained why he did this.
He said that he had personally investigated the pharmaceutical factory and the results were not optimistic. The pharmaceutical factory was very well-defended and the probability of success was very slim regardless of whether it was a forced attack or infiltration.
Therefore, instead of risking one's life to steal the formula, it is better to wait for work and launch a surprise attack after the Germans succeed in their operation.
When the opponent is at their most relaxed, they can complete the mission at the lowest cost.
Hase promised that during the operation, he would try his best to persuade the Germans and avoid fighting. If the Germans refused to cooperate, he would kill all those who knew about it and frame the case to the government.
The representatives of all forces headed by Iguchi Saburo nodded slightly, agreeing with Hase's plan. They were not the red deer who had been shouting about the black card for half a year. Since they had other options, they would not be stupid enough to go with the pharmaceutical company. Go head-to-head with Australian officials.
At the end of the meeting, everyone stood up and prepared to leave. Hase Ryosuke first stopped Xing Hanliang, and then after thinking about it, he left the copper lock.
"Your Excellency, Director of the Agency, do you have anything you need us to do?" Xing Hanliang asked respectfully.
"Your Excellency Changgu, just give me your orders, and Ji will definitely serve you." Tongsuo also showed his loyalty at the right time.
The two knew that Chang Gu would definitely have something to say if he stayed with them. If they could gain Chang Gu's trust, it would be very beneficial for the next lurking mission.
Thinking of this, Xing Hanliang and Tongsuo, who didn't know each other's identities, looked at each other and decided to find an opportunity to get rid of the "traitor." It was normal for such a big operation to kill many people.
On the other side, Hase Liangjie shook his head: "Xing Sang, Ji Sang, you two will follow me to guard the outside during the operation." Xing Hanliang and Tongsuo were a little surprised. The guarding outside is a auxiliary job, and it is difficult to make contributions. , does the other party have any objections to them?
Of course, Hase Ryosuke had no objection to the two of them, but had other plans. Xing Hanliang was Fat Hu's good friend, and Ji Dawei was his tentacles deep into No. 76. Change didn't want to see them die in an operation that was doomed to fail.
The Japanese were eyeing their allies, and the Germans were not idle either. Muhe made final operational arrangements in the safe house, and Abwehr's agents were ready to go.
Time flies by, and two days later, Hall Glass Factory once again delivers goods to the pharmaceutical factory, which shows that the pharmaceutical business was booming during the war.
In the evening, the truck of Hall Glass Factory stopped at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory. The driver was still the substitute driver from last time. When he saw Gucci coming to inspect, the man greeted him familiarly.
"Man, hurry up, I want to get off work early."
Gu Qi ignored the other party and ordered his men to carefully check the inside and outside of the truck. The agents opened the cargo box in the carriage as usual, leaving no place where people could hide.
After working for a long time, an agent jumped out of the truck and gently shook his head at Gucci, indicating that he had not noticed.
"Open the door."
Gu Qi didn't hesitate, raised his hand and said something, and the truck slowly drove into the pharmaceutical factory. The factory area was busy, and the rumbling sound of machines drowned out the sound of the engine.
Just this month, the German Northern Group advanced rapidly towards Seningrad, Army Group Center made significant progress in the direction of Mosk, and Army Group South continued to attack Kiev and defeated several Red Russian armies west of the Don River. important troops.
However, the Red Russians also gradually recovered from the chaos in the early stage of the sneak attack. A large number of new troops were added to the front line, and solid fortifications were built around key cities. The German front was no longer as sharp as it was at the beginning of the war.
The largest war in human history consumed countless troops from both sides. Hundreds of people fell on the European plains every minute, and there were countless wounded. The price of penicillin soared.
Faced with logistics officers from various countries waving money, Zuo's pharmaceutical factory has been rushing to work, with people and machines constantly working, and all workers working in three shifts.
Now medicines are not medicines, but piles of pounds and dollars.
Out of distrust of Red Russia, the Zuo family did not accept rubles that were like waste paper. It didn't matter if Red Russia didn't want to. The other party didn't want it, but the country wanted some.
Looking at the light coming from the ventilation window of the factory, the truck driver showed greed in his eyes. He stepped on the accelerator and drove to the door of the warehouse.
The Chinese porters from the pharmaceutical factory climbed into the car before it stopped and moved the wooden boxes into the warehouse. The driver got out of the car, stretched his hands and feet, and lit a cigarette.
The guard who was supervising the transportation came over, raised his hand and put out the cigarette butts in the other party's mouth, and pointed with a cold face to the wall of the warehouse where there was a sign saying no fireworks.
Perhaps because he felt that he had lost face, or because of his long-standing arrogance towards yellow people, the driver threw the cigarette **** heavily on the ground, pushed the guard violently, and kept yelling and swearing.
The conflict attracted everyone's attention. Guards from other directions slowly gathered around. The porter also stopped working with a bad look on his face, eager to teach the white driver a lesson.
In the chaos, there was a slight noise from the other side of the truck. Then a piece of skin between the carriage and the chassis was lifted, and a black shadow emerged nimbly, moving slowly along the wall to the dark place. At the corner.
"Vice-seat officer, is this the Germans' plan? Isn't it too hasty to use hidden compartments in trucks to hide people?"
At the distant surveillance point, Wu Chunyang frowned and asked Zuo Zhong, his expression a little strange. Mu He was conducting fire reconnaissance and bribed the driver, but this is the result?
Zuo Zhong laughed when he heard this and patted him on the shoulder: "Chunyang, don't complicate simple questions. Do you still remember what Big Ivan said about Mu He going to the glass factory and doing something?"
Wu Chunyang nodded and replied: "Remember, Mu He saw the production process, materials, and transportation vehicles. I understand!"
After Zuo Zhong's reminder, Wu Chunyang still didn't know that visiting the production process and checking information were not the main purpose. Muhe's real intention was to master the details of the freight vehicles of Hof Glass Factory.
When external breakthroughs are not possible, it is indeed a good idea to use trucks to transport people into the pharmaceutical factory. However, pharmaceutical factory guards are not blind. If they want to hide people, they must use tampering in the vehicle.
But it takes time to modify the vehicle. Even if the Germans bribed the driver of the glass factory, they would not be able to install hidden compartments on real trucks in a short time.
Moreover, the Hof Glass Factory has cooperated with the pharmaceutical factory for a long time. The guards of the pharmaceutical factory are very familiar with the trucks of the glass factory. They cannot deceive the guards by using the same model of vehicles or changing the license plates.
So there was the scene where Mu Hu pretended to be a British businessman and went to the glass factory. Based on the information obtained from Mu Hu's investigation, Abwell copied a truck of the same model into a glass factory transport vehicle and installed a hidden compartment on it. Wu Chunyang could not I don't admire the Germans' mechanical accomplishments.
There were only a few days between when Mu Hu visited the glass factory and when the counterfeit truck appeared. The design of the hidden cells was also very clever. There must be technical experts in the German action team.
If this matter is left to the military commander, it will definitely not be so perfect. This is a country's industrial heritage and has nothing to do with intelligence.
Zuo Zhong silently looked towards the corner and had a clear understanding of Mu He. He had something to offer but not much. Now it was his and Juntong's turn to take action.
