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

The next morning, Ma Liang began to analyze the telegrams on the Japanese army's movements on the Ezhou front as per his recent habit.

"Don't eat the sour radish!"

"Fake!"

"Big idiot!"

·······

Just twenty minutes later, Ma Liang went through all the swear words he could think of in his mind.

He became emotionally unstable, and began to pace back and forth rapidly in the attic on the top floor.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Military Intelligence Bureau's military intelligence work against Japan was a mess. In 1944, the Military Intelligence Bureau handed over 7865 pieces of intelligence.

The most easily obtained intelligence about the enemy and puppet regime accounted for 43%, that about politics and underground party matters accounted for 21%, the military intelligence most needed on the front line accounted for only 8%, and the crucial counterintelligence intelligence - even only 1%!

This was at the end of World War II when the Japanese army was on the decline and anyone could see that their days would not last long.

During this period, the puppet army had basically begun to defect, and a large number of wavering elements began to emerge within the group, becoming passive and afraid of fighting, waiting to return home after being defeated.

Under such circumstances, the Military Intelligence Bureau's intelligence work against Japan was still like this. One can imagine how poor it was in the early days of the War of Resistance.

In contrast, the Japanese army launched every major military operation on two fronts: open and covert.

The Japanese intelligence department had a deciphering rate of about 70%-80% of the National Army's military intelligence. It can be said that the National Army's division commanders knew no more about the strategies and tactics of all the battles than the Japanese knew.

Throughout the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the National Army did not have any brilliant tactics or strategic encirclement or roundabout tactics in any of its battles, and was always in a passive defensive position strategically.

Generally, the National Army would defend one place honestly, while the Japanese Army could attack from all directions at will.

Even the decryption capabilities of the Secret Code Inspection and Decryption Institute, which the Military Intelligence Bureau was most proud of, successfully deciphered the Japanese diplomatic codes, bringing the National Army's ability to decipher Japan's diplomatic secret codes to 70%-80%.

Unfortunately, during the entire war of resistance, the Japanese invaders basically managed to decipher the Kuomintang government's codes in full and in a timely manner.

The Nationalist government itself was unable to maintain confidentiality, and every time it successfully cracked the code, the secret would be leaked in various ways, forcing the Japanese side to quickly change the code and restore confidentiality.

For example, five days before the July 7 Incident, the Japanese changed the code in time, cutting off the National Army's source of intelligence.

The situation is similar now. Ma Liang knows that the Kuomintang’s code has been cracked by the Japanese army, so he gave the Kuomintang an early warning.

Killing two birds with one stone, they framed the commander of the 167th Army and the commander of the th Division as traitors, forcing the Ninth War Zone to urgently change the military communication code.

But now, only seven days had passed from the time Ma Liang reminded the Ninth War Zone to change the code to the time he analyzed the Japanese army's deployment telegram and found out that the Japanese army had regained control of the intelligence on the National Army's deployment.

Seven days was just enough to collect enough telegram samples, considering the technical level of that era where secret codes could only be deciphered by manpower.

But within seven days, the Japanese army successfully mastered the military communication codes of the Ninth War Zone again.

Well, there is only one reason: someone inside leaked the information.

During World War II, there were many ways to crack the enemy's codes. The most time-consuming and laborious method was manual decryption, and the simplest method was to send spies, or sell or steal.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army's infiltration of the Nationalist government was comprehensive. From high-ranking generals and government officials to peddlers and gang members, basically all of them were Japanese spies.

The biggest reason why Ma Liang would not side with the National Government was that the National Government, from top to bottom, was like a big sieve, with leaks everywhere.

Even if Ma Liang cheated and gave the best Enigma cipher machine of World War II to the National Government, it would be of no use as the secret could not be kept.

The performance of the Nationalist government during the entire War of Resistance against Japan can be illustrated by an illustrative example.

Just like in the professional league of the league, two of the five people on the Guofu team sold their houses and bet on their team to lose on the gambling platform.

The Japanese team consisted of five reckless men who tried their best to win, but they overdrawn their bodies last night and had a big fight within the team not long ago. There was no coordination at all and they were all rushing around separately.

Under various strange factors, both sides fought for the entire game, allowing the National Government to successfully drag the game into the late stage!

If Ma Liang got carried away and confessed to the government or provided some technological assistance.

For example, the secret codes from all over the world, the AK47 that can be produced in this era, anti-tank rocket launchers and other things that can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in a short period of time were given to the Kuomintang government.

It is possible that the Nationalist government's project has not yet been approved, but countries such as Britain, the United States, Mao Zedong and Japan have already built prototypes. By then, it will be hard to say whether it will help the Nationalist government or harm the Chinese people.

This is the sadness of not having a strong motherland!

This is a cruel reality that even a time traveler cannot change!

If Ma Liang's motherland was any one of the four, Britain, America, Mao and Hans, even if Ma Liang did not reveal his identity as a time traveler, just providing intelligence and technological guidance would be enough to make his motherland dominate the world.

But at this time in the Celestial Empire, the result of doing so would only be to expose Ma Liang himself, which would be a disguised help to other countries and would only have a counter-effect on the Celestial Empire's war of resistance.

"Damn it, luckily I didn't see through you!"

Ma Liang was angry for a minute when the National Government's confidentiality work was dragged down to this extent. However, his years of agent training made him calm down quickly.

In the end, he could only comfort himself with the Ah Q spirit, thinking that at least the National Government had not collapsed to the point of exposing his top-secret source of strategic intelligence.

What Ma Liang is most grateful for now is that he did not slack off and hand over the Japanese front-line military contact code directly to the National Government, but instead isolated it through the Military Control Commission.

In the end, Ma Liang continued to analyze the Japanese army's front-line deployment intelligence and selectively provided Japanese army intelligence to the Military Control Commission.

That night, Ma Liang's latest intelligence was delivered to the Military Control Commission headquarters via a drone and dropped into the agreed-upon death mailbox.

"These parasites of the Party and the country are so bold. It has only been a short time and they have already sold the war zone communication codes?"

At the Military Control Commission headquarters, Dai Yunong's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and he unconsciously straightened his collar.

Everyone who knew him knew that this was a sign that he was really angry and wanted to kill someone.

"Commander, now is not the time to be angry. Besides, there are more than one million troops in the entire theater, more than a hundred division-level units, and more than a thousand people who have access to the password. They are all people of certain status, and there is no way to check it!"

"Secondly, with a powerful enemy at the doorstep, the higher-ups will not allow a large-scale internal search for traitors at this time. This will inevitably cause unrest in the military's morale, which will be detrimental to the war situation," Dai Yunong's direct staff analyzed.

"Alas! This is the only way!"

Dai Yunong could only sigh after calming down. He also knew that it was impossible to find out the leaker in this kind of situation, and there was no way to investigate further.

This is the helplessness of the National Government. It is not a unified and powerful regime at all. If it is a little strict internally, those warlord armed forces who are only obeying orders on the surface will immediately rebel.

The whole thing is just a makeshift team put together!
