Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

At ten o'clock in the evening, in a secret room in the backyard of Chunlaitang in Shanghai, Guo Xiaoan and his colleagues were happily watching the radio operators install the radio station.

Thanks to the trading route that Ma Liang opened up for the Fourth Master, a large amount of tung oil and pig bristles in the area controlled by the Fourth Master, which were originally worthless to the Fourth Master, were sold to foreigners.

There is no supply of tungsten ore in the base, but tung oil and pig bristles are the specialties of the Fourth Master's base, so we can get as much as you want.

In just over half a month, the transaction volume between the base and BAT companies reached the million level, greatly alleviating the financial problems of the base.

After feeding the soldiers, there was some money left over to improve their equipment, so they allocated several newly purchased radio stations to the Shanghai underground party who had made great contributions.

"Now we have a radio. In the future, when there is an emergency, we don't have to send people to deliver letters to the base at risk." Guo Xiaoan said with emotion while looking at the radio.

"Comrade radio operator, hurry up and try to contact the base!" a guy said anxiously.

“Ding ding ding ding…”

After the radio was installed, the radio operator immediately called the base radio station to test the machine.

“Ding ding ding ding…”

"Calling in!"

The radio operator reported excitedly, then lowered his head and listened attentively to the signal while writing something on paper.

After finishing, he immediately took out the code book and started translating quickly.

"Good signal, good luck!"

When Guo Xiaoan read these seven words, his eyes suddenly became red.

Many good comrades were arrested because they had no radios and had to risk their lives to transmit important intelligence by manpower. Their frequent activities allowed the enemy to discover their flaws.

After getting BAT's business back on track, Ma Liang took a rare few days off. Dealing with Xiao Rizi, who was considered a professional agent in this era, was not like getting along with ordinary people after putting on makeup.

Professional agents are always observing and speculating about strangers around them, especially Ma Liang's new identity, who represents the mysterious major shareholder of BAT company and has an important voice.

Whether it is the old spy Inaba Shiro who is in the open in BAT companies, the newbie Kudo Shinichi, or the agents hidden among ordinary employees, they are all observing and testing the mysterious Manager Wu in overt or covert ways.

In order to avoid being discovered over time, Ma Liang became a hands-off boss and disappeared under the pretext of a business trip.

Anyway, given the transportation conditions of this era, business trips take months to complete, so there is no need to worry about arousing suspicion.

However, while Ma Liang was busy relaxing, some people could not relax.

After the U.S. Central Strategic Intelligence Agency easily purchased the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' communication codes from Ma Liang, it made changes to its own slow-moving decryption center, cutting its budget and reducing staff.

With this situation, no one in the entire department has the energy to work.

All of them were in tatters and the decryption work has never been on track. It is said that the opinion given by the decryption expert group is that the code urgently changed by the Japanese army this time is more complicated than the Purple Code and does not belong to the same system of codes.

In other words, the vast amount of experience accumulated from deciphering the Purple Code before is of no use to the current new system of codes.

The entire decryption work basically has to start from scratch. If optimistically estimated, it will take more than a year. If pessimistically estimated, it may not be decrypted before the Japanese army changes the code again.

Cheating is addictive, and many cheats have a certain free trial period, so that you can get used to the pleasure of using cheats to bully your opponents. Finally, when you are most addicted, a renewal reminder will pop up.

The same thing happened to America at this time. They were used to knowing Xiaori's strategic movements, but suddenly they lost that information and became anxious.

Since there was no hope of deciphering the code in the short term, he could only place his hope on Ma Liang and rely on money to buy it.

During this period, the headquarters of the Office of Strategic Services of the United States urged Colonel Johnson, who was in charge of the Far East Intelligence Group, almost every day with an urgent telegram.

Seeing telegrams from headquarters becoming more and more severe in tone, Colonel Johnson, who just wanted to make money for his retirement, wanted to put an advertisement in the newspaper to look for Ma Liang, the mysterious and omnipotent man.

In his French Concession villa, Ma Liang read the telegrams between the Strategic Intelligence Agency and the Far East Intelligence Group. He was not in a hurry to make a deal, but said to himself:

"It's not hot yet, it needs to be left to dry for a while."

This time, Ma Liang not only wanted to get some intelligence fees from the United States, but also wanted to establish the BAT company to sell tung oil, pig bristles and other strategic materials unique to the Celestial Empire to the United States.

To some extent, this can greatly alleviate the economic pressure on the Fourth Master, but tung oil and pig bristles are equally important to the national government in the southwest.

In the entire Celestial Empire, only these things can be valued by the great powers and used as bargaining chips.

Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War in 37, the Nationalist government knew that it would be difficult to fight against the epidemic with its own economic strength and had to rely on the intervention of the great powers.

At the beginning of 38, the National Government sent special envoys to the major European countries. They had only one purpose, which was to work together with the ambassadors abroad to seek diplomatic and material assistance from these countries.

Unfortunately, Europe was already shrouded in war clouds at that time, and it was impossible to take care of this "little matter" in Asia.

Finally, they could only turn to America for help. The wise men in America saw that "if the battlefield in China collapsed and the National Government made peace with Japan, America would directly face the challenge of a small life."

By then, with the vast Celestial Empire as a colony, Xiaoshi's strength will increase to a higher level again.

Whether America can overcome the crisis and avoid suffering serious damage is an unknown.

So America should do something to help the development of the national government, delay the development of the small life, and curb the development of the small life.

Unfortunately, the United States had not yet entered a wartime state at that time, so even if the president spoke, it would not work. It had to be approved by Congress and the Senate, who were the representatives of the capitalists, before it could be accomplished.

But at that time, China was the main export destination of the United States, and the trade with China was much higher than that with the Celestial Empire. Naturally, American capitalists were unwilling to offend such a big customer as China for the sake of the Celestial Empire.

America's indulgence and support of Russia's easy life actually means that the entire capitalist world hopes that it will go to war with Russia.

In addition, isolationism was prevalent in the United States at that time, and people did not want to get into trouble and were only willing to do business.

There was no other way. The Kuomintang government and the knowledgeable people in the United States could only use tung oil, which was the only commodity valued by the two great powers in the Celestial Empire, as collateral. Only then did they impress the American capitalists and get a loan of only 2500 million US dollars.

Even so, in order not to disrupt their daily lives, they announced to the outside world that it was normal business dealings between American companies and China, and that it was not the position of the American government.
