Su Yu picked up the document bag, opened it, and took out an official letter envelope. It was sealed with red wax and had a sealing stamp.
He picked up the teacup on the table, poured out the tea, poured a full cup of hot water from the kettle, and then carefully placed the back of the official letter envelope over the mouth of the cup.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the steam in the cup softened the glue at the bottom of the envelope. Then, I took out a needle and carefully pried open the bottom of the envelope little by little, finally revealing the document inside.
Su Yu put on gloves and carefully took out the document. The cover page read "Draft of Military Supplies for Trade with China" with German annotations next to it.
At this time, Germany provided the most military support to China. Germany and China were still in a honeymoon period, and the Nationalist government had signed agreements with Germany on arms purchases and military personnel training.
The German government also sent a large number of military personnel to China to guide the Chinese army in tactical training.
Even at this time, most of the Nationalist army's military equipment was modeled after German weapons. Their main weapon, the Type 24 rifle, was a copy of the Mauser rifle provided by Germany, and their standard hand grenades were imitations of the German M24. It can be said that Germany provided substantial aid to China before the War of Resistance against Japan; of course, China also paid a considerable amount, and Germany needed money to help it equip itself. It was a win-win situation!
Now that Germany is about to provide aid to China, and this top-secret document is right in front of him, it's a golden opportunity.
Su Yu glanced through it. It was an official letter from the German Foreign Ministry to the Chinese Foreign Ministry through the German Ambassador to China. The letter was very detailed and included a lot of German text. It even specified the timing of the aid, the scale, type, and quantity of the weapons. In short, it was a very, very valuable intelligence document.
Suppressing his excitement, Su Yu took out a camera from the drawer and skillfully and quickly photographed each page of the document. Then, he carefully restored the documents in order.
Carefully placing the document back into the official envelope from the back, Su Yu took out a bottle of glue, diluted it slightly with water, and carefully applied it to the bottom of the envelope, folding it perfectly! Using a lighter, he slowly dried the moisture. After finishing, Su Yu carefully inspected the work and was very satisfied with his skills, feeling that no one would notice anything amiss.
He then put the official documents and letters back into the document bag, and everything was back to normal. Only then did he take off his gloves.
He took out the film, placed it in an extremely small and exquisite box, and carefully put it close to his body. Thus, he had stolen this vital intelligence without anyone noticing!
He was overjoyed to have successfully stolen a highly valuable top-secret document, which came without any effort.
He knew that such important intelligence would bring him extremely rich rewards, after all, the Japanese were very generous in this regard!
Su Yu has his own intelligence transmission channels, but looking at the time, it was already 11 o'clock, almost lunchtime, and there wasn't enough time. It seemed that he could only go to the pre-set dead mailbox in the afternoon to put the film in and then send out the mailbox activation signal.
As Su Yu was pondering, Secretary Chen, who had already left, was nearby in the office, looking at her watch and calculating the time second by second.
About forty minutes later, he hurried toward Su Yu's office.
"Knock, knock!" A knock sounded on the door.
Su Yu opened the door and was immediately stunned.
"Secretary Chen, why are you back again? Did you forget something? Please come in!" Su Yu asked curiously.
After entering the office, Secretary Chen looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she said with a forced smile, "Director Su, I'm so sorry. I was really worried when I got back. Oh, please don't misunderstand! It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the director said this document is very important. I thought about it and decided to give it to Director Jin myself. It'll just mean a few more trips, so I won't trouble you, Director Su!"
Su Yu immediately knew that Secretary Chen was still not at ease with the document and regretted handing it over to him. However, it was just right that the contents of the intelligence had already been photographed. Now that Secretary Chen was going back, he could get rid of his suspicion. Wasn't that exactly what he wanted?
A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it and said, "It's alright. Actually, I also felt it wasn't quite appropriate for me to hand it over. I'll return it to you now!"
After saying that, he turned around, took out the document bag and the receipt from the drawer, and handed them to Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen quickly took it, smiling apologetically as she explained repeatedly that it wasn't that she didn't trust Director Su, but rather that she was worried Director Jin would be picky. Finally, she added, "Director Su, there's one more thing. Please don't mention that I handed you the documents to anyone else. That way, I won't be blamed by my superiors, and you'll avoid unnecessary trouble! What do you think?"
Su Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this. It was like a godsend! Secretary Chen was worried that others would find out that the document had been resold, and so was he! He readily agreed and promised that the news would not be leaked!
Secretary Chen left Su Yu's office with an apologetic expression. Both of them gave themselves a perfect score for their acting skills and achieved their respective goals. The mission was successfully completed!
The top-secret document in the document bag in Secretary Chen's hand was, of course, fake; it was carefully fabricated by the intelligence department.
Starting from multiple angles, they first set up obstacles and difficulties to prevent Director Jin Wenkang of the Second Division from coming to work. Then, through Secretary Chen, an insider planted in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Intelligence Section, they put on a show and finally handed it over to Su Yu.
