Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 853 Counter-espionage

Maeda Masashi lowered his head and said, "Sir, our Lan Agency's scope of activity has always been Guangdong and Guangxi. The island opposite is British territory. Not only is their Far East Intelligence Agency there, but members of the underground party and the Blue Shirts Society are also active there. We have placed our main intelligence forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, so our intelligence forces there are relatively weak!"

Komoda Yasuichi waved his hands vigorously. "I don't want to hear your excuses. I want information about the troop deployment, weapons, equipment, ammunition, and food reserves over there! Also, I heard that the person in charge there is a man named Zhang Yunhe. I want to know the details about him and his family!"

"Let me ask you, how long will it take for you to give me this information?"

Maeda Masashi took out a document and placed it on the table. He said, "Sir, this is the information about Zhang Yunhe, his merchant group's armed forces, and his family members. As for the current deployment of troops there, the Lan Agency needs time to gather intelligence!"

"How long?" Komoda Koichi asked, staring into Maeda Masashi's eyes.

Maeda Shisei thought for a moment and said, "I'll need half a month!"

"Half a month is too long. I will give you a week at most. Within a week, the Lan Agency must obtain the detailed defense map of the opposite island. Otherwise, there is no need for the Lan Agency to continue to exist!" Komoda Yasushi immediately issued the deadline.

Maeda Yoshitsugu felt unprecedented pressure.

Three days later, Ah Gui came to Zhang Yunhe's office with a document.

"Sir, this is the 104th Division's troop strength, weapons and equipment, organization, combat effectiveness analysis, and information on its seven main military commanders!"

Zhang Yunhe took the document and flipped through it. Before he even finished the first page, he asked in confusion, "Why doesn't the Japanese 104th Division have a brigade organization? Instead, the division headquarters directly controls the infantry and artillery regiments?"

Ah Gui replied, "Yes, sir, the Japanese 104th Division is a Type B division, a typical three-infantry regiment organization, with the 108th, 137th, and 161st Infantry Regiments and the 104th Field Artillery Regiment, all of them! This type of division only reduces the number of infantry, but it is still a multi-arms division, so it is still a field division with certain offensive and defensive capabilities."

After the introduction, Ah Gui continued, "Sir, with the current strength and weaponry of the Japs, as long as they don't send a large number of fighter planes and warships over, they will pose no threat to us!"

Zhang Yunhe held up the documents and said, "It's been several years since the war began. We've wiped out almost half of the Japanese 38th Division's combat effectiveness. When have they ever suffered such a heavy loss? I'm worried that the Japanese won't give up and will bring in a large number of troops from other places to launch an attack."

"But there's no point worrying about this now. What's coming will eventually come. Your intelligence department's most important task right now is to gather all kinds of intelligence on the Japanese. Report any signs of trouble to me immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" Ah Gui stood at attention.

Zhang Yunhe thought of something else and asked, "How are the people from the foreign Far East Intelligence Agency?"

Ah Gui replied, "Because there was no order from you, the troops did not do anything to the Far East Intelligence Agency personnel. They just detained them in their original office and confiscated all their equipment!"

Zhang Yunhe touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "The foreign Far East Intelligence Agency is a very powerful intelligence force. We can't support them for free. We must find a way to recruit them for our own use, but we must ensure that they don't secretly communicate with Lundun."

"Yes, sir, I will complete their recruitment as soon as possible!" said Ah Gui.

After Ah Gui left, Zhang Yunhe thought about it and called his bodyguard leader Zuo Tong over.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Zuo Tong knocked on the door and walked into the office and asked.

Zhang Yunhe stood up and pointed at the sofa: "Come, sit here, I want to tell you something!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the two sat down, Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and asked, "Zuo Tong, have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Zuo Tong was horrified upon hearing this and quickly stood up and said, "Sir, you don't want me anymore? Is there something I did wrong?"

Zhang Yunhe smiled and waved his hands, "Don't worry, you look so scared, it's nothing, sit down and listen to me!"

Zuo Tong sat down slowly and nervously, looking very nervous.

Zhang Yunhe said, "The island is now under our control, but it's not stable. The foreigners are still very powerful. And there are not only foreigners here, but also the Blue Shirts Society, the underground party, and even the Japanese have many intelligence personnel here. I know that all of them must be trying their best to get our intelligence. These people may want to sabotage us and prevent us from living a peaceful life!"

"They will even spy on our troop deployments, scout airports, military bases, and fortifications. They will even try to get close to me and my family to assassinate them, and bribe our senior military officers and related personnel!"

"So I want to set up a counterintelligence department and want you to be the head of it. What do you think?"

"Ah? This...Sir, I'm afraid I can't do it well. I have never done this kind of work!" Zuo Tong touched his head and said.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "This job is actually the same as being my bodyguard. Before, you only protected me and my family, but now that the counterintelligence department has been established, your job has become protecting all of us!"

"Some cases, such as the theft of confidential information, unusual criminal cases, and leaks of our intelligence, are all within the scope of the counterintelligence department's work!"

"Counterintelligence work must not passively wait for cases to occur before handling and resolving them. Instead, we must take the initiative, such as closely monitoring newly arrived foreigners, officials, and businessmen from other countries. For example, if a certain one of our officials or military officers has recently exhibited unusual behavior, experienced a sudden increase in spending, or suddenly had a large amount of money in their bank account!"

"For example, people are suddenly buying explosives and firearms on the black market; ammunition in one of our ammunition depots is suddenly and inexplicably running low, and so on. There are also some inexplicable missing person notices and announcements in the newspapers, and some people use incomprehensible code words on the phone. These may all be related to espionage activities!"

Zuo Tong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "Sir, I think I understand how to do this job. I may not have enough experience at the beginning, but I believe I can do it well!"

Zhang Yunhe nodded and said, "You're confident, which is great. Right now, we need to focus on guarding against airports, military camps, and troop deployments. The government may also be infiltrated. Newcomers to the government must be carefully scrutinized, both personally and through their three generations of ancestors!"

"I understand, sir!"
