Chapter 1067 Sneak Attack

Time passed quickly, and it was now winter of 1941.

At the end of November, a deeply infiltrated intelligence agent from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station sent an urgent telegram to headquarters.

The telegram contained a message.

According to information he obtained from the Japanese naval forces stationed in Shanghai, the Japanese navy has been making intensive preparations recently.

It seems a major operation is about to take place.

By 1941, the Military Intelligence Bureau, which had gradually grown stronger, received a considerable amount of such general and non-specific intelligence every day.

The telegram was sent back to the headquarters in the mountain city, and the message was immediately presented to the intelligence section of the outpost.

At this time, the head of the intelligence section of the external office was Li Yunlong.

He only glanced at it a few times before immediately frowning.

Subsequently.

Li Yunlong immediately issued the order.

Instruct the intelligence agent lying in wait in Shanghai to continue his in-depth investigation and to make sure he finds out the truth.

This is also normal.

It's impossible for Ye Shaohong to personally handle all the messages sent from the occupied areas every day.

There are other subordinate departments within the external office, and these departments also share responsibilities on a regular basis.

Only when something is truly confirmed, or is of great importance, will the staff under his command compile and organize it, and then send it to Ye Shaohong's desk.

After Li Yunlong's order was relayed, the undercover agent in Shanghai who had received the news immediately began an in-depth investigation.

By early December.

After much inquiry, he finally managed to find out some details.

This situation was also somewhat unbelievable to him.

Dog day.

The Japanese actually want to start a war against the Americans.

Upon learning this news, the intelligence officer found it difficult to accept.

Everyone knows that with the start of World War II and the war among the European powers, the United States has become the most powerful country in the world today.

The Japanese also rely on smuggling and transporting many important military supplies through the capitalist conglomerates of the United States.

Do the Japanese really have the guts to start a war against the US?

The intelligence officer was skeptical.

But what if he didn't believe it? The Military Intelligence Bureau had its own rules, and information that needed to be reported still had to be reported.

Ultimately, he reported the matter back to Shancheng via encrypted radio.

It fell into Li Yunlong's hands.

After translating the telegram code and learning the details of the intelligence, Li Yunlong looked constipated.

Don't tell me yet.

Even Li Yunlong himself didn't actually believe the contents of this intelligence report.

In Li Yunlong's view, this was utter nonsense.

It was false information deliberately spread by the Japanese naval forces in Shanghai for some kind of benefit. I wonder who they were trying to deceive.

However, this matter was of great importance, and Li Yunlong also had to follow the rules and regulations of the Military Intelligence Bureau. In the end, he took the original manuscript of the telegram in his hand and knocked on the door of Ye Shaohong's office.

After meeting Yu Xiaowan and informing her of her desire to see Seventh Brother, Yu Xiaowan knocked on the door of Ye Shaohong's office.

After passing through and receiving permission, Li Yunlong finally met Ye Shaohong.

He also reported the information he had just obtained.

Upon learning of this, Ye Shaohong's expression became somewhat strange.

Because he suddenly remembered this matter.

In real history, before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau did indeed learn through special channels that the Japanese navy was preparing to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Several days in advance, the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) informed the US Far East Intelligence Agency of this hard-won and invaluable intelligence. The MIB even included the exact time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in this intelligence report.

December 1941, 12.

This crucial intelligence, after being sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau to the Far East Intelligence Bureau of the United States, eventually ended up in the hands of a clerk within the Far East Intelligence Bureau.

The clerk looked at the danger warning sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau in China to the United States with disdain.

He glanced at it in his hand, then tossed the invaluable intelligence into the wastepaper basket beside him.

Nobody paid any attention to it, and nobody reported it.

But how is it being implemented?

By December 6, 1941, the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, followed tradition and gave its sailors leave.

The Japanese navy didn't show up all day. It all seemed like a fake news story.

So what is the real situation?

Quite funny.

Those damned Japanese devils, they did indeed devise a plan to attack Pearl Harbor on December 6, 1941.

But when they set off, a group of sailors actually got lost at sea.

And so, a whole day was wasted.

It wasn't until the early morning of December 7, 1941, when dawn was breaking, that the Japanese navy idiots finally found the correct course.

We arrived at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Then, as everyone knows, that's what happened next.

在1941年12月7日的那个阳光灿烂的上午，小鬼子的海军，6艘航空母舰，2艘战列舰，2艘重巡洋舰、1艘轻巡洋舰、9艘驱逐舰、3艘大型潜艇、和8艘油船。

A total of 33 light and heavy ships and 432 aircraft launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, a key Pacific naval supply base for the United States.

The battle lasted a total of ninety minutes.

Under repeated bombing raids by more than 100 Japanese bombers, the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy casualties.

A total of four battleships were sunk, and many others suffered varying degrees of damage.

188 aircraft were destroyed.

More than twenty aircraft suffered severe damage and are unlikely to be usable again in the short term.

A total of more than two hundred aircraft.

More than 2400 people died and more than 1250 people suffered minor or serious injuries, bringing the total number of casualties to more than 4000.

After the incident broke out, news quickly reached the United States. The US also passed a resolution in parliament declaring war on Japan in the shortest possible time.

afterwards.

Through meticulous investigation, the people of the United States discovered the truth.

Information about ships and personnel at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii was collected and provided by Japanese expatriates living in Hawaii.

Those Japanese expatriates, by sifting through and collecting household garbage at the Pearl Harbor naval base, roughly estimated the number of ships and personnel of the US Pacific Fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor at that time.

These messages were then sent back to the Japanese mainland, providing them with firsthand information about the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Simultaneously.

The Far East intelligence agency of the United States also learned of the early warning information sent to them by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Upon seeing the attack plan, which was so precise it was down to the day, the personnel from the US Far East Intelligence Agency nearly fainted from anger.

I regret it.

A clerk who carelessly discards important information will naturally be punished.

But this also illustrates one thing.

That is, the Kuomintang government's Military Intelligence Bureau, which they had never taken seriously before, did indeed have an intelligence-gathering capability in the Far East that they could not ignore.

This will be of great help to the impending Pacific War and to the US's subsequent military operations.

It was because of this incident that the US began to provide financial and logistical support to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Not only did they invest a large sum of money, they also helped the Military Intelligence Bureau to set up Sino-American training camps in many parts of China.

It was thanks to this favorable wind and the support of the United States that Dai Yunong seized the opportunity once again, and in just a few years, he transformed the General Intelligence Bureau, an intelligence agency that had only been established for ten years, into the terrifying behemoth it became later...
