Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 1011 The Beginning of Calamity

The speed at which Project Mountain Eagle was progressing exceeded Ye Shaohong's expectations.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to take action.

From his headquarters at the Military Intelligence Bureau in Chongqing, he issued two orders to the Bureau's Shanghai station.

Two seemingly insignificant commands.

First.

The 7th Detachment of the Shanghai Station Action Brigade of the Military Intelligence Bureau was temporarily transferred to Huangpu Wharf to guard a key warehouse in the wharf area.

This warehouse was a distribution center in Shanghai for smuggled goods, used by a trading company under the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The contents inside were incredibly abundant. They included not only everyday necessities like Western cigarettes and alcohol, but also women's stockings and cosmetics.

It also includes electronic components, petroleum, and other supplies needed by the military.

In addition, there were also some opium pastes.

These were all prepared by that trading company for high-ranking government officials and their families in the remote mountain city.

It's considered well-intentioned.

Why did Ye Shaohong make this arrangement?

Because he's going to dig a hole.

His plans didn't stop there. Besides the warehouse and the various essential supplies stored inside, the seventh detachment he had drawn from the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau was also carefully planned.

Previously, the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station had suffered a series of heavy blows.

At the time, headquarters had suspected that there was a traitor within the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station. However, they were never able to find him.

Through internal investigation, only one thing was ultimately confirmed: the suspected traitor was very likely hiding within the seventh squad of this action team.

and…….

Besides the possible traitor, the members of the seventh squad of this action group were also secretly engaged in smuggling with local troops in the Nationalist-controlled areas.

These are behaviors that the Military Intelligence Bureau cannot tolerate.

But the higher-ups at the Military Intelligence Bureau felt it was a pity to just give up on them like that.

after all…….

Those were more than a dozen well-trained professional soldiers.

The Military Intelligence Bureau paid a heavy price to infiltrate Shanghai.

Whether it's continuing the screening process on them or transferring all the staff back to the mountain city, it would be a losing proposition.

Just right.

This group of people who disregarded national security fell into Ye Shaohong's hands.

He also made use of waste.

Ye Shaohong sacrificed a supply depot of a trading company under the Military Intelligence Bureau and transferred the seventh detachment of this action brigade there.

To act as a defender.

They should be left to be used when needed in the future, so that they can finally realize their full value.

Ye Shaohong issued the second order directly to Zhuang Yifan.

He was tasked with selecting a greedy and cunning individual from the newly established 76 Gisfield Road. Personnel were then secretly assigned to recruit this person.

They were developed into a hidden spy for the Military Intelligence Bureau within the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters.

This task isn't in a rush.

Given Zhuang Yifan's current influence within the Shanghai Green Gang and his relationship with Li Qun of the 76th Division, completing this task would not be difficult.

They will then make a series of private contacts with the person who was tempted.

Give them money and entice them to work for you.

Incidentally, they also stole some less important intelligence information from the headquarters of Agent 76.

With these two orders relayed, the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters completed the groundwork for Operation Mountain Eagle.

Ye Shaohong can also find time to attend to other official duties. He can also go home to spend time with his wife and children, and show filial piety to his parents and elders.

That's what he thought.

That's what we did.

Unfortunately, the vast Military Intelligence Bureau, through years of development, has extended its influence to all parts of the country.

Although Ye Shaohong's post was located in an outpost, it only managed the operations of stations in various occupied areas.

Personnel transfers and other related matters.

However, when subordinates control more areas, unexpected changes are bound to occur.

Unexpected complications may arise.

three days later.

In Qingdao, an important city in Shandong Province, the Military Intelligence Bureau's station was suddenly attacked by the local Special Higher Police.

After World War I, the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau station, the head of the intelligence section, and the head of the operations section of the island city branch were all arrested.

Only a few people, including the deputy station chief and the head of the telecommunications group, managed to escape.

After the incident, the surviving members of the island city immediately sent a report to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Chongqing.

According to them, they suspected there was a traitor within the station.

This led to the Japanese intelligence agency discovering the site's offices and causing this major disaster.

This situation is actually quite normal for the current Military Intelligence Bureau.

Working in espionage is inherently extremely dangerous.

Sometimes, your comrades-in-arms may be laughing and joking with you one moment, and the next moment they may turn their guns on you.

Or, for financial gain, they might betray their own people to the enemy.

Since taking over the external control center, Ye Shaohong has dealt with several instances of entire stations being destroyed.

Although it's heartbreaking, he has already summarized his experience.

It's simply a matter of arranging for the evacuation of exposed personnel first, and then drawing skilled personnel from headquarters or other sites to rebuild the branch stations.

It will add new workload to the job, but it's not too difficult to handle.

But this time the situation is different.

However, the station chief, intelligence chief, and operations chief who were arrested are still unknown what methods the Japanese used after they were captured.

Or perhaps those three were not truly patriotic individuals.

Just two days later, new news arrived.

These three have already surrendered and betrayed us.

He became a traitor. This is going to cause serious trouble.

Under normal circumstances, if someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau defected to the enemy, as long as that person was not of high status, did not possess much intelligence, and was a low-level member, the Military Intelligence Bureau would not arrange for them to be punished or assassinated.

They will simply announce their treasonous acts in their hometowns and impose certain punishments on their relatives and family members.

But it's different at the higher levels.

Every high-ranking member of the Military Intelligence Bureau who betrayed the Party and defected to the enemy must be eliminated.

This is not just because of their different status and position; it will have a significant impact on the lower-level personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

More importantly, they almost all possess intelligence information.

For local sites.

At headquarters. Some of these are highly experienced individuals who, during their tenure, are frequently transferred and relocated to various locations.

In this way, they met more people.

They also know many secrets.

Once one person is arrested, the trouble that follows often spreads to many other places.

A moment of carelessness could even affect several sites.

The stationmaster who was arrested and betrayed the city was in a similar situation.

He was a veteran from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Special Service Department.

According to his personnel file, before taking over as the station chief of the island city, he had also briefly served in Tianjin and Jinan, Shandong Province.

Tianjin Station is alright.

When Ye Shaohong went to Tianjin on his last mission, he replaced everyone at the Tianjin station. Jinan is not an option.

That was an old site of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and nothing unexpected had happened there in recent years.

They have been deeply involved in the local community for many years, and their intelligence personnel have infiltrated various power institutions in Jicheng.

If the station chief of that island city betrayed the enemy and confessed his work experience in Jicheng, the people he knew, or the personality traits and quirks of certain people in the station.

All of this could provide clues for the Japanese intelligence agency in Jicheng to make arrests.

This will bring endless disaster.

Upon learning of this, Ye Shaohong immediately made a decision.

This traitor must be eliminated immediately.

We must kill him at all costs. We absolutely cannot allow the undercover agents in Jicheng to meet with misfortune because of him.
