Hiroshi Shimazu swallowed hard, hesitating to speak.
"Black Sparrow, now that you've chosen a new path, don't harbor any more illusions. I'm warning you, we know far more about the Shadow Group than you think."
"Don't think you're so important to us. Just look at the windmills, puppets, and snow wolves we've captured—you can imagine how many cards we have up our sleeves. Asking you now is giving you a chance. If you dare to hide anything, you won't have another chance!" Wei Liangbi, seeing Shimazu Hiroshi still hesitating, had long been impatient and shouted sternly!
These words made Shimazu Hiroshi completely give up resistance. Everyone present knew that the three men had died at the hands of the military intelligence department for various reasons, and there were no survivors. Otherwise, they would not have placed all their hopes on Shimazu Hiroshi.
The problem is, Shimazu Hiroshi himself didn't know that!
Shimazu Hiroshi finally couldn't hold back any longer and confessed, "Besides those you captured, there are three more!"
He quickly revealed the cover identities of the three members.
Xuan Kangnian, the owner of De'an Trading Company, is codenamed Pomegranate.
Dai Hongguang, codename Muhua, head of the Transportation Section of the Military Government.
Ma Hong, deputy captain of the action team at the Nanjing Investigation Office of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, codenamed "Bell!"
"What did you say, the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department? I'm warning you, Shimazu Hiroshi! If you dare to make baseless accusations, once verified, I will make you wish you were dead!" Yu Cheng could no longer sit still upon hearing the last name Shimazu Hiroshi mentioned!
“I know, I have no reason to lie to you. Ma Hong was a subordinate developed by Xuan Kangnian and was turned two years ago. This is easy to verify!” Shimazu Hiroshi confirmed again. This bell was an important pawn of the Japanese Special Higher Police infiltrating the Chinese intelligence department. Unfortunately, in the end, it still couldn't escape this time!
This time, not only Yu Cheng, but also the other three officers present changed their expressions. If it were an ordinary person or even a government official who was a spy, it would be one thing.
With enough effort, given the capabilities of the Japanese intelligence service, it shouldn't be a problem to help the intelligence agents find a suitable location for intelligence gathering.
But what kind of organization is the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department?
That was the Kuomintang's premier intelligence agency. Before the establishment of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, the Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau was unparalleled in its power and influence, with branches in the Kuomintang's provincial, municipal, and county party headquarters, and its espionage activities covered the entire country.
It's just that the Military Intelligence Bureau has overshadowed it in the last two years, but that doesn't mean the Military Intelligence Bureau is more powerful than the Central Party Affairs Bureau. Rather, they are evenly matched and have a clear division of labor.
The Central Party Affairs Investigation Department's main tasks were to monitor the internal situation of the Kuomintang organs; to crack down on all parties outside the Kuomintang; and to control public opinion and thought, especially the Red Party, which had always been the Red Party's biggest and most dangerous opponent!
The Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) belonged to the Kuomintang army and its main tasks were to collect intelligence, monitor and control the army, and arrest and assassinate hostile forces. Their areas of work were different.
The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) operated within the Communist Party, while the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Juntong) operated within the military. Their responsibilities were very clearly defined: intelligence and leads collected that fell within the jurisdiction of the other party had to be handed over to them for receipt, demonstrating a clear division of labor.
In theory, there should be no conflict of interest between the two sides, but in reality, this is not the case. From the very beginning, these two departments have never stopped their open and covert struggles and are like oil and water.
In particular, the Director has always harbored deep resentment towards the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, having reportedly suffered greatly at their hands in the past. Now, wielding considerable power and enjoying the leader's favor, he has been seeking revenge. He will spare no effort to make the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department suffer as long as possible!
This was an open secret within the Military Intelligence Bureau! However, the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau was no pushover either, with a tight organization and deep roots. The two sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.
But this time, Shimazu Hiroshi's confession caught their attention. The Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Kuomintang's largest intelligence department, a department that specializes in catching spies, had its own spy turned out to be a Japanese spy!
There's an unexpected surprise!
I knew all along that the members of the Shadow Group were definitely not ordinary people, since ordinary people would never have access to classified information. But it was really surprising that the Japanese intelligence agency could extend its reach into a department like the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department!
If true, this would be a major scandal, and several officers, well aware of the director's style, were immediately intrigued. Reporting it would surely please the director, presenting them with an excellent opportunity to prove themselves!
