Chapter 23 The Godfather of the Military Intelligence Bureau
Chapter 23 The Godfather of the Military Intelligence Bureau
The book was quite thick, and its binding was completely different from that of modern books.
The book is titled "The Godfather of the Military Intelligence Bureau".
Su Yuncheng reached out and tried to open the book. The moment he touched the book, a magical scene unfolded.
Su Yuncheng's hand actually passed through the book, as if his body did not exist in this world.
However, the contents of the book entered his mind completely.
The next moment, Su Yuncheng opened his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.
Light streamed in through the window. Su Yuncheng got up and made himself a cup of hot tea. The warmth emanating from the ceramic jar gradually warmed his palms.
The prison I saw in my last dream belonged to the Military Statistics and Investigation Bureau, or JUNT for short.
This was an intelligence organization that played a significant role during the war against Japan.
This dream was different from his previous ones; it was the first time Su Yuncheng had dreamed of books.
And he read all of it.
It turns out that the Kuomintang's Special Service Department, which had only been established for a few years, was the future Military Intelligence Bureau.
They have already established a presence in Shanghai, and many arrangements have already been made.
The information Su Yuncheng obtained from the book this time was more than all his previous dreams combined.
As expected, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, a war that lasted for eight years.
It is easy to imagine how many people will suffer and be displaced in this battle.
The atrocities committed by the Japanese, as described in the book, are particularly infuriating.
Su Yuncheng has lived in Japan for many years and knows the Japanese best; they are capable of doing these things.
Although it's just a book about Boss Dai of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the information it contains is enough for Su Yuncheng to digest for a long time.
At the entrance of Lu Mingxuan's house in the French Concession.
Early in the morning, Lu Mingxuan summoned several of his men. He hadn't slept well all night, waiting for news.
Unfortunately, after Hu Bang'an was kidnapped, no more useful information came.
This convinced him that the Japanese must have been the ones who captured Hu Bang'an, and that Hu Bang'an had already fallen into their hands.
For Lu Mingxuan, the only good news was that Hu Bang'an might be injured.
There was blood at the scene, and gunshots were heard. Hu Bang'an and his men exchanged fire.
If Hu Bang'an dies, it will be most advantageous for Lu Mingxuan.
But he dared not gamble; he had to send his wife and children away today.
"Wanyi, haven't you been wanting to see Grandpa for a long time? Mom will take you, aren't you happy?"
Lu Mingxuan squatted down, looked at his daughter, and said with a smile.
"Happy."
Lu Wanyi nodded slightly, while Lin Manman looked at her husband with some concern.
She knew the man must have something on his mind, but he didn't tell her, especially since he made her leave so hastily this time; it must be something serious.
Since Lu Mingxuan didn't say anything, she didn't feel comfortable asking further.
All I could do was pray that nothing bad would happen to Lu Mingxuan.
"Manman, be careful on the road."
Lu Mingxuan stood up and told his wife that he would personally drive her and their child to the train station.
Japanese resident area, hospital.
Mizuno arrived early in the morning. Yesterday, through torture, Ma Jin admitted that he had lied and that he really didn't know who Hu Bang'an's people were. Of the things he confessed, only those three pieces of information were the most valuable.
Secondly, there were the radio and the codebook.
These did not satisfy Mizuno. He had seized more than one radio station and several codebooks in the Tohoku region.
He wanted to capture more Chinese spies and make a name for himself in Shanghai.
"How is he?"
Upon arriving at the hospital, Mizuno asked his subordinates on duty if they had arranged for people to be at the hospital yesterday, firstly to keep an eye on Hu Bang'an, and secondly to block the news.
The news of Hu Bang'an at their hospital must not be leaked, otherwise those Westerners in the International Settlement would give him a hard time.
"The doctor said he has been resuscitated, but he is still unconscious."
His men immediately rushed forward, and Mizuno breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least he wasn't dead.
"Did the doctor say when the person will wake up?" Mizuno asked immediately.
"It will take one or two days if it goes quickly, and three or four days if it goes slowly."
"How long?"
Mizuno's eyebrows twitched. The matter of arresting Hu Bang'an could not be hidden. Not to mention three or four days, one day was enough to alert those around Hu Bang'an.
Even the Kuomintang's secret service would know about this.
"Can we wake him up sooner?"
Mizuno asked again, he didn't care whether Hu Bang'an lived or died, but he had to get him to talk and ask what he wanted to know.
Ma Jin is no longer of any value; the most important person now is Hu Bang'an.
"We don't know, you should ask the doctor."
The subordinate honestly shook his head, and Mizuno immediately went to find a doctor. Endo Takumi looked at the subordinate who had replied.
"Captain, Kato is awake."
The subordinate understood and immediately whispered that Kato Ken was the team member who was injured yesterday. Endo Takumi breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was good that Kato Ken was not dead.
However, thinking about the location of Kato Takeru's injury, Endo Takumi felt a bit of a headache.
"Tell him I'll go see him later, so he can rest assured."
After finishing his sentence, Endo Takumi hurriedly left. He needed to continue following Mizuno, as Mizuno was in a bad mood. If he went too far away, Mizuno might not be able to find him and might take the opportunity to get angry.
In the French Concession, Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office.
I wasn't late today, but I still arrived at the newspaper office right on time.
Besides their group, there were two ordinary-looking people present, and Xiao Wang was chatting with them.
"Editor-in-chief, you've arrived."
Huang Chuanming came forward to greet him, and Su Yuncheng nodded slightly before leading Huang Chuanming into the office.
"They came to provide news material, but it wasn't of much value."
Huang Chuanming explained that the newspaper actively solicits all kinds of news, especially good news, and will pay those who provide the news.
It's just that truly good news is hard to obtain through this method; actively collecting it is purely a matter of luck.
If you're lucky, you might stumble upon some good news.
"Hu Bang'an, the deputy chief inspector of the Hongkou Police Station in the International Settlement, was kidnapped last night. You and I will go there together later."
Su Yuncheng said softly. Huang Chuanming was slightly taken aback. How did the editor-in-chief know about the International Settlement so quickly?
"Yes, I'll get ready right away."
The fact that the deputy chief inspector had an accident at home is no small matter and can be followed up and reported. Other newspapers will definitely know about what happened last night.
When Su Yuncheng and Huang Chuanming arrived at the Hongkou Police Station in the International Settlement, there were indeed many reporters standing at the entrance.
They all came to interview and ask questions, but no one was able to go in; they all waited outside.
"Yuncheng".
A man who had just come out of the police station saw Su Yuncheng get out of the rickshaw and immediately called out.
"Sixth Brother, what are you doing here?"
Pan Liu is a member of the Green Gang, Cao Yinshan's apprentice, and has a good relationship with Su Yuncheng.
"My master sent me to inquire about Hu Bang'an's situation. Is this also why you've come?"
"That's right, who exactly did Hu Bang'an offend? Who would dare to kidnap him from their own home?"
"Let's find somewhere to talk."
Pan Liu glanced around. There were quite a few people around, most of them reporters.
Many reporters couldn't get into the police station; those who could were either from foreign newspapers or people with considerable influence.
"Okay, let's go to the teahouse."
Su Yuncheng nodded immediately. He noticed that Pan Liu had just come out of the police station, so it seemed that he had already asked about the situation. Through Pan Liu, he could also learn some things.
