Chapter 721 Special Transaction (Seeking Monthly Pass) (Repair)
According to the practice of the intelligence market, Ning Zhiheng needs to deliver 50% of the amount first, and half of the amount will need to wait for the intelligence to be verified before paying it to Anderson.
But this time Anderson was not in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and signaled: "Don't rush to trade first, our business has not been negotiated yet!"
Ning Zhiheng was not surprised. He knew that this was the surprise Anderson said before, so he smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'll listen with stern!"
Anderson continued: "The situation today is a bit special. Please don't get me wrong. I am not referring to this information, but to the source of this information!"
Then Anderson began to explain the specific situation. It turned out that there was something wrong with Anderson's intelligence line. One of his offline lines was a department manager of the Citibank branch in Wuhan. Since the fall of Wuhan, it soon became the frontier command of the Central China Army of Japan. After many observations, this offline line selected a Japanese intelligence officer, took his preferences and attacked his weaknesses, and spent a lot of energy and financial resources. Finally, he developed him into a mole. Since then, this mole has conveyed important information many times and earned a lot of money for the offline and Anderson.
But now the situation has changed. Now that the downlink was transferred back to the United States by Citibank headquarters, and time is tight, he had to give up this profitable career and prepare to return to China. However, he had this huge value mole in his hand and gave up like this. It was a pity that he planned to sell the mole's relationship to Anderson and get the last vote before returning to China.
In the intelligence community, the biggest reliance of intelligence dealers is intelligence channels, which is the inside relationship between these moles. If you have valuable sources of intelligence, it means you have huge resources. Therefore, the channel for offline contact with this mole is also a very valuable resource.
But Anderson had no intention of buying this resource. Although this was a very valuable mole, Anderson had limited manpower and he did not have the ability to take over the mole's intelligence in Wuhan. The investment was relatively large. For example, he needed to arrange very reliable personnel in Wuhan to be ready to connect with the mole at any time, receive the mole's intelligence, and also had to arrange a dedicated radio station to transmit intelligence. Some intelligence cannot be transmitted by radio stations. For example, today's military intelligence has a lot of content and cannot be transmitted by radio stations. They can only be transmitted by manual film. In short, maintaining this intelligence line requires too much manpower and financial resources. Anderson weighed it over and over again and felt that he did not have the ability to purchase this resource.
But he did not have this ability and did not do anything for others. So he decided to be a broker and choose the best buyer for his downline. Now in the intelligence community, he has the ability, financial resources, and reason. The only one who took over this intelligence relationship was the Intelligence Department with a Chongqing background. So Anderson came to the door and used this military intelligence as a reason to match the two sides to promote this transaction.
Anderson explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly and said again: "Mr. Lin, from the value of this information, we can see that this mole will definitely deserve your investment. How about it? Are you interested in taking over this mole?"
So that's the case, which is why Anderson specifically asked himself to come forward and discuss in person.
Ning Zhiheng did not answer for the time being. His eyes narrowed slightly and he quickly thought in his mind.
According to Anderson, the value of this mole is indeed worth taking action by himself, and it is also a great thing. Wuhan has now become the command center of the Japanese Central China Front Army. All military resolutions and plans are formulated and produced here. A mole lurking within the Japanese army in Wuhan and providing top-secret Japanese military intelligence is definitely very important to the Chinese military.
But Ning Zhiheng also needs to take certain risks. First of all, could the Japanese have arranged the bait? Even if it is not the bait, Wuhan is thousands of miles away, and his strength is still far beyond reach. In this case, it is logical that he should hand over this relationship to the Wuhan Intelligence Station, but Ning Zhiheng was unwilling to accept this.
The Wuhan Intelligence Station is also a major station of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The chief officials are all direct subordinates of the bureau. If they really achieve success and spend money and time to make wedding dresses for others, Ning Zhiheng is not so generous. The factional struggles in the Kuomintang are very harsh. Even Huang Xianzheng will not agree to give in to such an important insider.
In the end, Ning Zhiheng made a decision quickly. This was a good opportunity and he could not refuse this precious resource.
More importantly, he wanted to follow this channel to find out the original source of this information and find out the mole hidden in the Chinese military, otherwise it would allow it to develop, and sooner or later it would cause a disaster.
Finally, Ning Zhiheng finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, Anderson, I am willing to take over this mole, please arrange it for me."
When Anderson heard this, he immediately stood up and said to Ning Zhiheng: "He is going to return from Shanghai. Now he is here with me. Please wait a moment."
Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze were stunned. It seemed that Anderson was sure that he would take over this mole today and had brought him a long time ago.
Soon Anderson brought a white middle-aged man in and introduced: "Miller, my friend, used to be a department manager at the Wuhan Citi branch."
Then he introduced to Miller: "This is Mr. Lin, this is Mr. Chen, and we have always been the biggest buyer. Most of our previous information was traded with Mr. Lin and Mr. Chen. I can assure you that they are the best customers in the Shanghai intelligence community."
After introducing both parties, Anderson left the room to avoid suspicion, but Ning Zhiheng was afraid that Anderson would make trouble, so he signaled to Huo Yueze, so Huo Yueze also walked out and went to the garden outside to chat with Anderson.
Ning Zhiheng and Miller faced each other. He did not make any controversy and said bluntly: "Mr. Miller, I have already heard Mr. Anderson introduce the specific situation, so let's go straight to the point. We need to determine the value of this mole now. You can quote a price first!"
Miller looked at Ning Zhiheng carefully. He had been working in Wuhan and didn't know much about the situation in Shanghai. He looked at the biggest rumored funder in the Shanghai intelligence community that Anderson said in fluent Chinese: "Fifty thousand US dollars! I promise you that this mole is definitely worth the money, and you trade it directly with him. Every time the intelligence fee in the future can be paid at 50% of the current Shanghai market price. In this way, you only need a high-value piece of intelligence and you will make it."
Direct transactions with moles will save the commissions in the middle and the price will naturally be much lower, but Ning Zhiheng himself also needs to bear some costs and risks.
However, Ning Zhiheng was unwilling to get involved in this little bit of trouble. He immediately nodded and agreed happily: "No problem, Mr. Miller, I can trade now, but before the transaction, I can ask, can this mole investigate the initial source of the previous information for me? In other words, can he help me find the Chinese military mole that provides this information?"
This is Ning Zhiheng’s real purpose. In comparison, he cares more about the Japanese’s intelligence network set up on China. If he digs deeper, he may gain greater benefits.
Miller was naturally very happy to hear Ning Zhiheng agree to his offer so readily. It is of course a great thing to have such gains before returning to China.
After listening to Ning Zhiheng's question, Miller thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Lin, I can tell you that this mole is working in the General Staff of the Japanese Command. He only saw the translation materials of this military intelligence and could not access the original. If you want to find out the mole in the Chinese army, you must start from the intelligence department of the Japanese Command. I think it is difficult."
His answer disappointed Ning Zhiheng. It seems that it is not easy to find out the mole. It is better to leave this matter to the headquarters first!
Ning Zhiheng and Miller negotiated the price, and Miller handed over the mole's name and agreed to awaken him to Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng called Anderson in, delivered the cash at the agreed price, and finally completed the special transaction.
Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze left Anderson's home and rushed back to Tan Mansion. In Ning Zhiheng's study, Ning Zhiheng gave Huo Yueze a face-to-face explanation.
"Tonight, I will generate electricity to the headquarters to inform the leak of the military defense deployment plan in northern Jiangxi. This matter is very important. With just one message, many troops in northern Jiangxi must be mobilized and adjusted. The persuasive power is still insufficient. So, just like before, in order to win the trust of the commander-in-chief, this material and original film must be sent back to Chongqing immediately."
Of course Huo Yueze knew the power of this, so he nodded immediately and said, "I personally sent this information back to Chongqing, and I will ensure that everything is foolproof!"
Ning Zhiheng shook his head and ordered in a deep voice: "You can just send a reliable person to do this kind of thing, and you don't need to do it yourself."
"Yes, then send Deng Zhihong back. Do you think it's okay?"
"Then send him back, you can't delay for a moment, and leave tonight." Ning Zhiheng nodded, "The situation in Shanghai is getting more and more complicated now, and the storm is coming. I need you to stabilize the situation here and look forward to your own courtyard."
Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng sighed and continued: "The Shanghai Station and the assassination team are too big now. Unfortunately, Shanghai is not two years ago. I am worried that they will make mistakes sooner or later. Once there is a problem, we must not affect us. The foundation here is my hard work. You must be careful and never make any mistakes."
