Ning Zhiheng reached out and took the materials, opened them and carefully read through them. As he read on, joy welled up in his eyes. The situation was exactly as he had expected. What he had brought back was indeed the list of members of the intelligence group of the Japanese spy organization in the Hangzhou area.
Just thinking about how the fate of all the Japanese underground forces in the Hangzhou area was now in his hands, and that he could decide their life or death with a single thought, Ning Zhiheng felt a surge of indescribable pleasure.
But another voice told him that he must not act so impulsively. If he really disregarded everything and immediately ordered the arrests, it might not be a good thing.
Just last night, Kawamoto Kuraji was assassinated, and today the entire spy network in the Hangzhou area was destroyed. Even a fool in the Japanese Special Higher Police would understand what happened!
We must wait until the situation surrounding Kawamoto Kuraji calms down before we can deal with these Japanese spies. In any case, the enemy is completely unaware of it, so it won't hurt to let them have a few more days of freedom.
Furthermore, he couldn't make such a large-scale decision on his own. Hangzhou was not like Nanjing; it had a Japanese concession, a consulate, and even a military garrison. Ning Zhiheng had to carefully consider the potential chain reaction and all the consequences of acting rashly, and he had to consult with his superior.
I've been back in Hangzhou for half a month now, and the assassination of Kawamoto Kuraji has been successfully completed. It's time to report back to the Chief in a timely manner.
Ning Zhiheng made up his mind. It seemed he would have to personally return to Nanjing to report the progress of the matter to the director in person and ask for instructions on the next steps.
Ning Zhiheng continued flipping to the last page, which read "Recent Hydrological Survey Report of Hangzhou Bay" and "Analysis Report on Military Forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Regions of China".
Looking up at Yi Hua'an in front of him, he asked, "Are these two lines the translated content from the last two photos?"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Yi Hua'an quickly nodded in agreement and replied, "Reporting to the team leader, that's indeed the case. The last two photos only show the covers of two documents, and the translated content is just these two lines!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded without speaking. There were many top-secret documents in that wooden box, but unfortunately he only brought back the covers of the top two documents. He still felt heartbroken when he thought about it.
Judging from the titles of these two top-secret documents, the meaning is very clear. The first document is about the recent hydrological situation of Hangzhou Bay. In fact, the hydrological situation of Hangzhou Bay is not top-secret, as relevant departments in Hangzhou have kept records of it over the years.
However, Chinese government departments are generally inefficient these days, especially in conducting investigations, where they have historically been perfunctory. Of course, there are many reasons for this, such as insufficient manpower and inadequate resources and funding.
In short, the surveys conducted by the Japanese were far less thorough and meticulous, and the data was certainly more accurate. However, even with such accurate data, the Hangzhou Bay hydrological report would not have been kept in Kawamoto's safe. There is only one reason for this: the Japanese paid special attention to the hydrological conditions of Hangzhou Bay.
Ning Zhiheng recalled that at the end of this year, in order to resolve the increasingly stalemate in the Shanghai battle, the Japanese army launched a large-scale landing at Hangzhou Bay, encircling the Chinese army in Shanghai, thus gaining a strategic advantage in the battle and forcing the Chinese army to retreat from Shanghai.
It seems that the Japanese military was well-prepared, or at least had made various contingency plans beforehand, and investigating the hydrological conditions of Hangzhou Bay was one of these contingency measures.
In this sense, this hydrological survey report on Hangzhou Bay is indeed very important. It seems that I must use this intelligence to issue a warning to the Chinese military, hoping to attract their attention.
However, Ning Zhiheng knew in his heart that even if he warned the higher military authorities, the military would not change the defensive deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops because of such a piece of intelligence with only a few words on the cover. History would not change its direction. It was all just to put his mind at ease, and it was all in vain!
There was also a top-secret intelligence report, which was an analysis and investigation of the Chinese military in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. This was a very valuable piece of military intelligence, but unfortunately, I didn't bring out the specific contents, so it doesn't prove anything.
Overall, however, the gains this time have been enormous. At least on the intelligence front, the Chinese agents represented by Ning Zhiheng have achieved a decisive victory.
Ning Zhiheng glanced at Yi Hua'an and said calmly, "Lieutenant Yi, I don't need to explain the importance of this intelligence again! You are also well aware of the Military Intelligence Bureau's confidentiality regulations. For the sake of secrecy, from now on, you cannot have any contact with the outside world until we have completed the eradication of the Japanese intelligence organization in the Hangzhou area. Do you understand?"
Yi Hua'an immediately stood at attention and replied, "I understand the rules of the Military Intelligence Bureau and will follow the team leader's instructions."
In fact, from the moment he finished translating the intelligence, Yi Hua'an was already mentally prepared. Such important intelligence had to be kept under the highest level of security measures. As the person most directly in the know, he would definitely be under the strictest surveillance. Moreover, as a soldier, he had to obey his superiors' orders unconditionally, and he had no room for resistance.
Ning Zhiheng was very satisfied with Yi Huaan's straightforward answer. Yi Huaan was a very smart person who was well aware of his situation, so he did not hesitate at all.
Thinking about this, Ning Zhiheng suddenly felt that Yi Huaan was a good talent. He had been looking for a Japanese teacher for some time, and Yi Huaan was a perfect candidate!
