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

However, the difference between Kane, an agent from the 30s, and Ma Liang, an elite all-round agent carefully trained by one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, is immediately apparent.

As an elite agent who can speak English, Japanese and Korean like a native, it is extremely easy for Ma Liang to learn to speak English in his daily life.

Even if it was a real life, it would only be like this. Of course, this was a trap that Ma Liang deliberately set for Kane.

"Oh, do you have any interesting news to share with me?" Kane also asked Ma Liang in English.

Kane was, after all, an agent disguised as a diplomat. He did not actively use the word "intelligence" and did not ask for any reward.

Ma Liang smiled. Holding an absolutely secret code, he didn't care about Kane's caution at all.

"Take a look at this first! Then we can talk!"

Ma Liang handed over a few pieces of letter paper written in English, which could be bought at any stationery store.

As Kane was a well-deserved superpower at the time, he didn't think that Ma Liang would reveal any earth-shattering secrets. He slowly took the paper handed to him by Ma Liang and looked at it.

Ma Liang watched Kane's expression change from relaxed and casual to serious and earnest, and then he suddenly stood up in shock and said urgently:

"Wait a moment, excuse me, please wait for me!"

Kane hurried out of the reception room and called the waiter outside the door, and gave a serious instruction:

"Immediately replace the coffee for the distinguished guest with the one specially used for receiving consuls. Make sure to keep the distinguished guest here until I come back!"

After saying that, he rushed to the telecommunications room and began to use the intelligence department's channel to verify the information provided by Ma Liang.

Here, Ma Liang looked at the premium Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee that had been replaced and smelled the tempting aroma of the premium coffee.

This really tortured Ma Liang. As an agent who had been working abroad for a long time, Ma Liang's eating habits were basically the same as those of foreigners.

This made Ma Liang, who hadn't had coffee for a long time, feel a little uncomfortable, but as a well-trained agent, Ma Liang would never eat any food from someone he didn't trust.

As for what Ma Liang gave to Kane that moved him so much, it was only two things.

One was a detailed list of the trade contract that the United States had just signed with Japan a day ago, and the other was the latest combat readiness status of the U.S. Pacific Fleet collected by Japanese agents.

What many people don’t know is that it was America that gave a poor country like China the confidence to launch a war of such a scale during World War II.

According to statistics, from the end of 31 to before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 37, most of the metal mineral resources needed for daily life came from the United States.

This includes 90% of scrap steel, 90% of copper and 45% of lead. In addition, more than % of oil is also imported from the United States.

More than 7% of the machine tools needed for our daily military industry are imported from the United States, not to mention food, cloth and the like.

What is more worth mentioning is that after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance against Japan, the United States did not stop exporting resources to China and remained the largest dependent on China's strategic raw materials.

In August 1940 alone, more than 8 tons of pig iron, scrap iron and other materials were shipped to Xiaori, almost equivalent to the total exports to Japan in the first half of 30.

On July 1941, 7, the Japanese army began to occupy Southeast Asia. On July 22, the United States announced the freezing of all Japanese assets in the United States and implemented a comprehensive embargo on oil and scrap steel.

However, in reality, the total amount of strategic materials exported by the United States to Japan in the first seven months of 1941 increased three times compared with the whole year of 7.

Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, at least two-thirds of China's strategic raw materials came from the United States.

Some people may say that making money from war is a matter of mutual consent and is a normal business practice.

But this is for those who are not in the war.

If you were in the middle of this war, would you feel good about the merchant who sold the knife to the butcher who killed you?

At least Ma Liang didn’t, he was harboring evil thoughts!

About an hour later, just when Ma Liang was thinking about how to give this proud America a hard time, Kane walked in with an uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"Sir, we are very interested in what you have. Please name your price!"

After more than an hour of thorough investigation, Kane discovered that the leak was not from his side, but could only have been from Xiao Rizi's side.

Moreover, to be able to obtain two pieces of intelligence in completely different fields in such a short time, the person who came could only have the diplomatic code of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Purple Code that the United States has been trying to crack.

Ma Liang understood why Kane was so excited. Even though America was doing its best to feed the war beast, Xiaorizi, it was also afraid in its heart!

Otherwise, why did America try its best to crack the secret codes of the Chinese people before the conflict between them broke out during World War II? Wasn't it because it was worried that the Chinese people it raised would bite it back?

You have to know that most of the blood that America donated to China was used by China in its navy.

The days during World War II gave rise to the Combined Fleet, one of the three largest fleets in the world, and the navy's comprehensive strength ranks third in the world and first in Asia.

The United States, which is isolated overseas and has no threats from land but only from the ocean, attaches great importance to this joint fleet, which is difficult for other countries to understand.

After a few minutes, Ma Liang looked at Kane and saw that his expression had calmed down. Then he said:

"Mr. Kane, why don't you sit down and talk first? If you keep standing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue the conversation!"

After Kane sat down, Ma Liang took out a list of equipment that he had prepared long ago, handed it over and said:

"In addition to the weapons and equipment on this list, I also want 10 million US dollars, half in gold and half in cash."

Kane frowned as he looked at the list that Ma Liang handed over:

15W military radio 30 units

·······

Looking at the various war supplies that Ma Liang had given him, Kane was puzzled but did not ask Ma Liang why a traitor would need these things. Instead, he thought for a moment and replied:

"There is nothing wrong with the items on the list. It just takes some time. Even if we transport them all by air, it will take at least fifteen days."

"This time is fine, I can wait!" Ma Liang replied immediately.

"As for the price of 10 million you mentioned, I'm sorry, that's beyond my authority and I need to consult the headquarters!" Kane said in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. We'll just hand over the money and receive the goods when the time comes!" Ma Liang also smiled and tricked the other party.
