Chapter 649 Futian’s Choice
Chapter 649 Futian’s Choice
Seeing that Futian's cigarette was almost finished, Zhang Yunhe handed him another cigarette.
"Thank you," Futian said, took the cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it with the burning butt.
Zhang Yunhe said, "Tell me about Songdao. What side does he belong to?"
Futian shook his head and said, "On the surface, Songdao is the intelligence chief of the Navy's Ma Lu in Shanghai, but I feel like his identity is more complicated than that. Perhaps he's selling intelligence to various intelligence agencies for profit while holding this position!"
"You have to know that he's the Navy's intelligence chief here. It's easy for him to collect intelligence from all sides. And this foreign land is a hodgepodge of forces, with countless intelligence personnel operating covertly. Perhaps after reporting the intelligence he received to his superiors, he sold it to the British, Germans, French, or even the clowns!"
"Matsushima, as an intelligence officer, still has some integrity. He probably wouldn't sell his own intelligence to other countries' intelligence agencies, but that doesn't stop him from selling intelligence from other countries to their opponents!"
Zhang Yunhe asked, "How do you know for sure that he's in the business of selling intelligence? And how do you know for sure that he won't sell intelligence concerning the empire, but will sell intelligence from other countries to their opponents?"
Futian took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Several times, I've gotten intelligence about other countries at headquarters. For example, one time, a British intelligence officer was captured by our people in Nanjing. This British man's identity seemed to be something special. The day after I told Matsushima about this, people from the British consulate received the news and came to ask for the man."
"Another time, just before the German army was about to attack, something was amiss with the Germans here. The banks and companies owned by the Germans all voluntarily closed down. The intelligence analysts at the headquarters concluded that the Germans were likely to attack. The day after I told Matsushima this news, the British and French forces here took action against the Germans."
"This information has little to do with the Empire, so Songdao betrayed it without hesitation. However, if it was information related to the Empire, there would be no leak after I told Songdao!"
Zhang Yunhe nodded and said, "Very good. Now you have two choices: First, choose to survive and work for me. I will not kill you, but will reward you. Just like with Songdao, as long as you give me a piece of information, no matter how valuable it is, I will pay you the corresponding reward!"
"This way, you can continue working at the headquarters while also staying connected to Songdao, and you can get three incomes every month!"
"Second, if you choose to die and don't want to work for me, I will reward you with a bullet!"
Futian said without hesitation: "I choose one!"
“What a wise choice!”
"Who are you from? Are you from the Army Intelligence Department?" Futian asked. "If so, I'm willing to join you, even for free!"
Zhang Yunhe looked at Futian and smiled. "You don't need to know where I come from. It would be bad for you to know my identity. It would make it difficult for you to hide your identity in the headquarters!"
"And there's no point in just working without getting paid. Without pay, there's no motivation. Some things may not be solved by money, but money can solve many things!"
"Since you've made the right choice, congratulations! This is settled! From now on, we'll only communicate by phone, not in person. If you get any intelligence, call me and tell me!"
"Give me a bank account. Every time I obtain intelligence from you and confirm it's true, I'll deposit my reward into your bank account within two days at the latest. This way, the safety of both of us can be effectively guaranteed!"
Zhang Yunhe took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down a phone number on the paper, and handed it to Futian: "Remember this number, call me if you have any news!"
Futian stared at the number for a while, repeated it several times in his mind, and nodded, "I remember it!"
"Write down your bank account number!" Zhang Yunhe said as he handed over the pen.
Futian took the pen and wrote down his bank account number on the back of the note.
Zhang Yunhe took back the paper and pen, looked at the bank account number on the note, and put it in his pocket. He stood up and shook his head: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. Let's go, I'll take you back!"
The two men came out of the abandoned factory, and Zhang Yunhe drove Futian to the entrance of the alley outside his house. He waited for him to get out of the car and walk into the alley before driving away.
On the way home, Zhang Yunhe was thinking about his next work plan. He had to deal with Songdao before returning to Jiangzhou to celebrate the New Year with his wife and children.
It should be quite difficult to deal with Matsushima. After all, although this guy loves money, he only sells other intelligence. He will not sell any intelligence related to the interests of the Japanese.
But everyone has weaknesses. As long as we find Matsushima's weakness, we don't have to worry about Matsushima not giving in.
Matsushima is the head of the Japanese Navy's intelligence department in Shanghai. He has many sources of information. As long as Zhang Yunhe can deal with this person, he will never have to worry about not getting intelligence in the future.
Now Ma Dazhi is sending people to investigate Songdao. Zhang Yunhe decides to wait until Ma Dazhi has thoroughly investigated the situation in Songdao before taking action against Songdao.
The Political Department of the French Concession Police Department was quite capable of collecting intelligence. Just two days later, Ma Dazhi called.
Hearing Ma Dazhi's voice on the phone, Zhang Yunhe asked, "Have you found out everything about Songdao?"
Ma Dazhi said on the phone: "I don't know if everything has been fully investigated, but based on the existing investigation results, the conclusion is that Matsushima is the intelligence chief of the Japanese Navy Intelligence Department in Shanghai. He controls eight intelligence teams, each of which is responsible for intelligence work for a certain force. So this person has many sources of information!"
"The main place he gets his intelligence is the Naval Club. It's his base. Every intelligence team leader will report to him there if they have any intelligence. However, there are several top-secret intelligence teams that communicate by radio and telephone. We haven't found out which ones they are yet."
"In addition, we also found out that he has connections with intelligence personnel from other forces and sells intelligence information to them. He earns a lot of money from each intelligence transaction!"
"Based on the information we have so far, besides the Naval Club, he has three secret residences in Shanghai: two bungalows and a villa. The villa has servants and security guards. That's basically it!"
Zhang Yunhe said, "Tell me the addresses of these three secret residences!"
Ma Dazhi immediately told the locations of these three secret residences on the phone.
"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Yunhe said, and then he continued: "I learned from secret channels that there seems to be a problem with the Japanese lair. You should try to collect information in this regard during the next period of time. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
