Chapter 991 Secretly Obtaining Files
In Suzuki's mansion, the corridor separated from the banquet hall was extremely quiet, and the thick door panels blocked all the noise and music outside the door.
On the walls full of Western style, every few meters of wall light emits a faint light, and the dark and darkness reflects the dark red carpet in a particularly weird way.
At this time, two guards passed by the "T" shaped intersection at the end of the corridor. One of them stood there and raised the flashlight to shoot. After confirming that there was no abnormality, he continued to patrol forward.
After more than ten seconds, a person jumped off the beam of the corridor ceiling. After landing, the person rolled forward twice and removed the impact caused by falling from a high place.
The thick carpet absorbed the movements made by the other party. Under the dim light, the figure slowly raised his head and exposed his face. It was Zorg in the banquet hall just now.
No one expected that a German reporter from Frankfurt would have such superb skills, which was no less than the elite agents in the second department of the General Staff.
No one knows that, thousands of kilometers away, a piece of information about Zorge was lying quietly in the safe of the deputy director of the Military Command Headquarters, No. 29, Luojiawan.
Richard Zorg.
Born in Baku, Transcaucasus in Tsarist Russia in 18┴95, his father was German and his mother was Russian. In 18┴98, his family returned to Berlin.
In 1914, shortly after the European War broke out, the 19-year-old Zorg volunteered to join the German artillery unit and was seriously injured while fighting on the Western Front two years later.
In the years after the war, Zorge was uncertain and settled in Frankfurt for a period of time, where he met many industrial and commercial people and established many useful connections.
Later, he disappeared completely in Germany, but in 1928 he suddenly published a rightist book called "New German Empire", which caused a small sensation in the Western world.
In 1929, Zorg joined a bearded organization and obtained a German protective license, and also obtained the title of special correspondent of the German Grain newspaper and a sociological journal.
After that, Zorge came to the Republic of China, visited Shanghai and Northeast China one after another, and stayed in these two places for a long time, and gained an in-depth understanding of the situation in the Republic of China.
In 1933, he met with the Japanese ambassador to the United States in Washington, and obtained a letter of introduction from the other party to meet the Director of the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and prepared to enter Japan.
That year, Zorge arrived in Yokohama and began his career as a journalist. He often published articles related to the Seiya Gate and gradually became a well-known Seiya Gate expert.
As Japan-German relations get closer, for reasons of wining over, many Japanese upper-class figures have become friends with him, allowing him to access important information about Japan's military and political affairs.
This is Zorge's experience on the surface, and the information in the Military Control Commission safe ends here. He looks like a reporter and writer with some connections in Japan.
But in fact, Zorge was already a member of the Fourth Bureau of the Red and Russian General Office in charge of military intelligence in the late 1920s, and directly accepted the command of the Director of the Fourth Bureau and the legendary Red and Russian intelligence expert Beerzin.
His specific task was to set up an intelligence network in Japan. Since Japan interfered in the 1920s and was able to retain the remnants of White Russia, Red and Russia have regarded Japan as the most dangerous enemy in the East.
Coupled with the historical grievances between the two countries, understanding the trends of the Japanese decision-making level has become an important task for the Red and Russian intelligence agencies. Knowing oneself and enemy, the principle of winning every battle is not only known by the Republic of China.
Before joining the company, Zorge received several years of training in secret infiltration, radio detection, password deciphering, operational technology, etc., and became a qualified intelligence officer.
It is worth mentioning that there is another name in this fourth game, that is, the Red and Russian intelligence agency as famous as NK┴VD, whose motto is "Only the stars cannot reach".
Unlike NK┴VD, Gruu is very good at using operations to obtain intelligence, his style is more "violent", and he performs tasks behind enemy lines, so it is very normal for Zorg to have such skills.
When his eyes returned to Tokyo, Zorge squatted on the ground, listened to the direction of the two guards leaving, and after a while, he stood up to fix his collars and walked calmly in the opposite direction.
He quickly recalled the internal structure of the Suzuki Mansion in his mind, and kept walking up a staircase under his feet, heading towards the Suzuki Kantaro study on the second floor as quickly as possible.
As a confidant of the Locust and former commander of the Joint Fleet, Kantaro Suzuki had access to top-secret documents from the Japanese military, which was the purpose of him and Ozaki coming here today.
Since they learned from Nishiyuanjigongjigong's second office that the top Japanese leaders had known that Zhukov had become the commander of the 57th Army and therefore changed the deployment of the Japanese army in the Far East, they have been looking for opportunities to obtain Japanese combat plans.
However, this level of strategic intelligence is only in the hands of a small number of people. Although Zorg has developed some intelligence officers in recent years, the status of these people is too low and after working hard for a long time, they still find nothing.
As for those "friends" who are in high positions, such as Fumiya Koe, they would not disclose such important information at all. Using the banquet to search Suzuki Kantaro's study became the only opportunity.
Since most of the servants of the Suzuki family were serving customers in the banquet hall, and few people were walking around in other places. Zorge avoided several waves of careless guards and successfully arrived in front of a beautifully decorated wooden door.
He was tightly attached to the door, opened his arms and fumbled around the door frame, and then looked vigilantly at the left and right sides, pulling out two metal needles from the sleeves.
Perhaps it was because of confidence in the guards, or perhaps it was because of the belief that no thief would dare to go to the Suzuki family to steal, and there was only a marble lock on the door of Suzuki Kantaro's office.
This kind of lock has very low safety. Just fix the lock hole and use tools to change the length of the internal marbles until all the marbles of different lengths are aligned before unlocking the lock.
Zorg put the steel needle into the keyhole, one locked the keyhole, and the other slowly pressed the pellet, and so on and on, and tried it all in a few minutes.
He gently pushed open the door, and the well-maintained door shaft made no sound. After a few seconds, the quiet porch became empty, leaving only a faint layer of moonlight.
In the dark study room.
Zorge did not search for documents immediately, but instead used a cloth strip that had been prepared long ago to stuff the bottom of the door crack tightly to prevent the guard from seeing figures or lights through the door crack.
Then he confirmed that the curtains were in a pull-up state and could not see the lights in the room from the outside. Then he took out a flashlight from his arms and turned it on, carefully checking the back of the door and under his feet.
Apparently, the servants of the Suzuki family were very responsible, the floor was spotless and there was not even a single hair. Then he took off his leather shoes and carried them in his hand toward the desk on the other side of the room, so as not to leave footprints.
Walking on the cold floor, Zorg paid attention to the movement outside the door while lowering the flashlight and observing the furnishings of the study, and soon arrived at the wide desk.
The order of intelligence collection has always been easy to start with and then difficult to start with, starting with the easiest part. In this way, once the action is interrupted, it can at least ensure that there will be no return without success.
So Zorg gave up the safe under the desk and the bookcase by the wall. He quickly remembered the placement of the items, put gloves on the desk and searched quickly in the file box.
"Ta Zang Province Annual Finance Book"
"Domestic Intelligence Clearance"
"Combined Fleet Training Summary"
…………
Zorg was a little unbelievable in his eyes. Suzuki Kantaro put highly confidential documents on his desk. Is this a trap?
But there was no sound outside the door. Perhaps the other party was used to this, so he didn't have time to think too much, suppressing the doubts in his heart and speeding up the movements in his hands.
Just as he found the last few documents, suddenly, a document bag from the General Staff Headquarters was labeled "very confidential".
"Far East Conflict Response"
Looking at the text on the file bag, Zorg calmed down, put one end of the flashlight into his mouth and bit it with his teeth, picked up the file bag with both hands and turned it over, and immediately found that the seal at the pocket had been opened.
He looked at his watch and found that it had been seven or eight minutes since he started to move. He carefully took out a stack of files from the file bag and placed it on the desktop. He then held the pocket watch in his outer pocket in his hand, pressing the watch on the first page of the file.
Of course this is not an ordinary pocket watch. This is a pocket camera made by the British in 1904. Although the structure is primitive, it is very reliable and can be disguised on the outside.
In the silent shutter, Zorg opened the documents one by one, then held the pocket watch tightly with both hands, and took pictures of all the contents above under the light of the flashlight.
While taking photos, he also verified the authenticity of the documents and checked all the writing, professional titles, the spacing of the typewriter, and the seals in the documents.
After confirming that all the details were consistent with the Japanese military documents he saw elsewhere, Zorge finally felt relieved and took less than a minute to finish the documents and restore them to their original state.
After completing the most important task, I found that there was still time and the 25 negatives of the camera were not used up. Zorg opened another document and spread it on the table to raise the camera and press the shutter.
More than ten minutes passed quickly.
The banquet downstairs had come to an end. The guests were full of food and food, and the atmosphere became more and more lively. Ozaki quietly glanced at the watch and stood up from the seat and merged into the crowd again.
Soon a conflict occurred in the crowd caused by the collision. This time, the guards around immediately surrounded him and separated the troublemakers.
Lin Fuichiro looked at him and immediately saw Ozaki and Zorg among the onlookers. He lowered his head and whispered to Suzuki Yuanko, and strode towards the door.
When the banquet hall was restored to order, he had already stood in the toilet in Suzuki's study, watching the "very confidential" document turn into a pile of ashes in the toilet, and then pulled the drawstring of the water tank, completely eliminating the last trace of false information.
