Starting from July 10, the Luftwaffe flew across the English Channel and began a fierce air battle with the air forces of allies such as Britain and France.

The tragic air battle lasted until mid-October, and Germany failed.

Shortly after France closed the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway, the British, who were afraid of Japan and had no intention of taking into account the Asian battlefield, suddenly announced the closure of the Yunnan-Burma Highway for three months. Hong Kong also implemented an embargo measures, and the materials to aid China in the war of resistance were reduced by half.

The purpose of the Japanese army doing this was to shake the Chinese military and civilians' belief in war of resistance, to coerce and lure the Chongqing government to surrender, and some people in the Kuomintang compromised the surrender crisis that had worsened unprecedentedly. In order to break this deadlock and to break the "cage policy" implemented by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party dispatched hundreds of regiments of troops on the battlefield in North China and launched a raid against the Japanese army along the Zhengtai Railway. For a time, the battle was in full swing, shocking the world.

The direction of the war is difficult to predict. Shanghai is still an intelligence center in Asia. There is a lot of information received here, but it is also very complicated.

From these mixed information, extracting and analyzing the authenticity of the information is a very test of the ability and wisdom of an intelligence officer.

Not only Lu Xiyan did this work, but many others also collected information from their own channels and constantly provided basis for decision makers behind the Anti-Japanese War.

Autumn is coming in a blink of an eye, and the weather is not that hot. You have to wear a coat when you go out in the morning and evening, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.

After Lu Xiyan submitted the report of the punishment, he was in a state of great trouble. What did the central government consider about sending Song Xin to the United States? He made a decision without asking for instructions and reporting such an important matter. Although there was a reason, he reported it in time afterwards.

But violations are violations, and there is nothing to say. The punishment you should be punished must be suffered. This will make it a bit unusual if there is no movement.

However, after reporting this matter, he could not follow and ask, and it was not appropriate to say it.

...

It was not until a month later that Lu Xiyan received a telegram from Song Xin from New York: "It has arrived, peace." He was relieved.

According to the agreement, if you just send "has arrived", it means that someone else has arrived in the United States, but the task of solving Yan Chaoxu has not been completed.

"It has arrived, peace" means that the first task has been completed, followed by the second task to the United States.

In fact, the day after seeing Yan Chaoxu off, Lu Xiyan received a call from Zhou Fuhai and asked about Yan Chaoxu's situation.

This is obvious. Yan Chaoxu is just a returning painting teacher at the Tongwen Academy in East Asia. How could he have a friendship with the number 3 character Wang Puppet?

It was obviously the Japanese entrusted it, which also confirmed Yan Chaoxu's identity. He pretended to be a progressive person to deceive the trust of the Japanese Communist Party in the East Asian Tongwen Academy, and even absorbed it. As a result, he betrayed them.

All of this was deliberately arranged by the Japanese intelligence department. Yan Chaoxu had even joined the Japanese spy organization and became their intelligence agent.

No wonder he deliberately dragged his way to the United States. How could he dare to leave easily if he had a task assigned to him by the Japanese?

Regarding Yan Chaoxu's investigation, Lu Xiyan's team did not end because of sending Yan Chaoxu onto the United States. Through his own comrade who was still lurking in the East Asian Tongwen Academy, he secretly conducted a careful and detailed investigation and analysis of Yan Chaoxu's past life trajectory and remarks.

It was also basically confirmed that Yan Chaoxu was a spy who received strict agent training in Japan.

"This is Yan Chaoxu's online, named Kogoro Sakamoto, who runs a gallery and has a close relationship with Yan Chaoxu. After we followed and monitored, we found that he had a long-term private room in the Kinmen Hotel..." Lao Ma reported.

"Import Comrade Yang Yiming to secretly send someone to monitor Sakamoto, and don't alert the snake, see if you can dig out some clues."

"I understand." Lao Ma nodded. Although Lu Xiyan could directly give orders from Yang Yiming, he still conveyed it through Lao Ma, with the purpose of hiding his identity.

...

"Chronichiko, a telegram from the New York Consulate, our people did not find the toad on that cruise ship, but there was a bad news."

"Say!" Hattori Chiyoko quickly gained a firm position in the Special High School with the case of "Japanese Communist spy" at the Tongwen Academy in East Asia, and led the investigation of many cases of Special High School with an extremely tough attitude, and was named "witch" in the Special High School.

Because she only caught spies lurking inside, she did not have much threat to the Chongqing elements and underground parties operating in Shanghai.

"Maybe our Mr. Toad is gone."

"Not here?"

"When the cruise ship arrived in Hawaii, a Chinese man on the ship got drunk and accidentally fell into the sea. Although he was sent to the water to rescue him, he was still unable to find him in the end." Sakai lowered his head and reported.

"Is this Chinese name Yan Chaoxu?" Hattori Chiyoko narrowed her eyes slightly and asked.

"Yes, it's Yan Chaoxu."

"Have you investigated how he went to the United States?"

"Hasn't I reported to you?" Sakai was stunned. Yan Chaoxu went to the United States, and he had already figured out the whole story.

"Do you think he went there voluntarily?" Chiyoko Hattori asked back.

"this……"

"How much do you know about this Dr. Lu Xiyan?" Chiyoko Hattori asked again.

"Chronichiko, this person is very powerful and has extremely powerful power behind it. When Director Yunzi was here, he once said that he is a very smart person. He knows what he wants, knows what he can do, and is very accurate in doing anything. It is difficult for you to find out his faults." Sakai thought for a moment and said seriously.

"There are still people in this world who can't find fault with them, which is really rare." Chiyoko Hattori showed a hint of interest on her face.

This made Sakai difficult to answer. He felt a little bit of Hattori Chiyoko's temperament, which was very narcissistic and didn't like to listen to opinions that were inconsistent with him, especially those of his subordinates. As for the boss, he also had to look at people. If it were Minamida in the Special High School, she basically didn't take him seriously. Only Kagesa from the Mei agency and the senior general of the Expeditionary Army Command, who had a noble status, would make her look up to her. She really looked down on anyone else.

"Find an opportunity to help me make an appointment with Dr. Lu. I want to meet him?"

"If you want to meet Dr. Lu, it is best to send someone to send a message first, and then visit him." Sakai reminded.

"Oh, do you need this trouble?"

"This is a kind of etiquette and a rule," Sakai said.

"Okay, then can you arrange this for me?" Hattori Chiyoko actually heard it and did not object.

"Hayi!"

"Wait a minute, arrange the car, I'm going out." Chiyoko Hattori called out Sakai who was walking out and ordered.

“Where are you going?”

"Home at Akagi."

...

"What, Akagi Kiyoshi lifted the house arrest of Akagi Haruko?" Lu Xiyan received the news from "Stingy Fish" Fang Ye, and he was surprised.

Haruko Akagi was suspected of having the identity of the "Japan Communist Party" and was then taken away by Chiyoko Hattori and handed over to his father, Kyoto Akagi, deputy director of the Public Concession Police Department, for house arrest and review at home.

Of course, Haruko Akagi did not admit his identity. He was locked up at home and went out everywhere. And Kiyoto Akagi even sent his subordinates to guard him closely.

Why is this? Could it be that a father trusts his daughter or other reasons?

It is impossible to deny that Akagi Kiyoshi protects his biological daughter and does not eat her children. Even if there are extreme cases, under most normal logic, parents will not take the initiative to hurt their children. A person who can even hurt their biological children at will can imagine how terrible it is, and he will be isolated by everyone.

No one with a brain would do such a thing.

Kiyono Akagi is not stupid. Even if he confirms Akagi Haruko's identity, he will never hurt his daughter.

Akagi Kiyoshi suddenly lifted the house arrest of Akagi Haruko and restored his freedom. It was definitely not that simple. This was Lu Xiyan's first intuition.

He immediately sent a message to Fang Ye through Hu Yunzhi, asking him to observe closely. Even if Haruko Akagi regained her freedom, he would not have contact with her for the time being, except at work.

I always feel something is wrong.

Kiyoshi Akagi is not a person who changes his mind easily. This person has very strong tolerance and resilience.

More than ten days later, good news came from the battlefield in North China. The Hundred Regiments Battle launched by the Eighth Route Army achieved brilliant results on the Zhengtai Railway Line. For a time, the nationwide pessimism against Japan was wiped out.

The Eighth Route Army can defeat the Japanese army after enemy forces, which is more well-equipped and has a large number of troops than the Eighth Route Army?

The military and civilians across the country are looking forward to it and become optimistic.

However, the sudden rise of the Eighth Route Army aroused high vigilance from Chongqing. Although on the surface, it still congratulated the Eighth Route Army on its record, it was another matter in private.

In early September, the Japanese army launched the second attack on Changsha at this time. The combat goal was to annihilate the main force of the Ninth War Zone and achieve the goal of using force to induce and induce Chongqing to surrender.

However, this time, it was called the "Second Battle of Changsha" by Chongqing, and ultimately the Japanese army's wishful thinking was disappointed.

On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army itself knew that there was no possibility of winning quickly. Faced with the pressing of Europe and the United States to cut off resource export sanctions, Japan's domestic fiscal situation continued to deteriorate, and the domestic anti-war voices became louder.

There are also great differences in opinions on the future direction of Japan's decision-making. Some people advocate going north, while some support "advance south".

In early October, an astonishing news was published by major newspapers at home and abroad. On September 27, Germany, Italy and Japan signed the Treaty of the Three Kingdoms in Berlin, which marked the official establishment of the Axis powers and the scale of the war once again expanded.
