Chapter 1071: Intelligence Market (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Li Zhiqun looked at Feng Sinian's appearance and knew that his identity would not be wrong. If such a person could be hidden from him, his acting skills would be too outstanding.
He went straight to the topic and asked, "So, Su Jiaxiang is your mole you developed? So who is your online?"
Faced with Li Zhiqun's inquiry, this time Feng Sinian answered very happily: "Shanghai Public Concession, Phillips, the military officer of the US Consulate."
After hearing this, Li Zhiqun was excited. Sure enough, the whereabouts of the information were in the Shanghai Concession, but the other party was not an ordinary person, but he was actually a diplomat in the US consulate. This identity made him afraid of it.
Li Zhiqun asked: "American? or diplomat? How did you get in touch?"
Feng Sinian did not hide it. He made it clear. It turned out that more than two years ago, he was a broker on the black market in the Shanghai Concession. He mainly introduced business to major merchants on the black market and earned some agency fees.
Because the foreigners in Shanghai have diplomatic channels, they can purchase various materials that are urgently in short supply in China. These materials can maximize their interests on the black market, so foreign forces account for a large proportion of the black market.
Phillips is the largest arms dealer among them. With his status as a diplomat, he smuggled scarce materials and made a lot of profits in the Chinese market. Feng Sinian mainly introduced him to the arms business.
However, Phillips' identity is complex. He is not only a military businessman, but also a large intelligence dealer in the Chinese intelligence market. He has many intelligence channels in his hands, cultivated and developed many moles, and continuously provided him with various intelligence.
After the Shanghai War, Nanjing fell immediately, and was later occupied by the Japanese and the so-called reform government. The city became a new target for intelligence dealers. Phillips spent a lot of energy to develop several moles in Nanjing, so he needed an agent to host the intelligence business in Nanjing for him. In the end, he chose Feng Sinian.
So Feng Sinian came to Nanjing and transformed into the manager of Yuanda Trade Bank, who was usually responsible for contacting and collecting information about the moles.
Li Zhiqun couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. He continued, "How many moles do you have in your hand?"
"two!"
"What? Just two? Are you guarding these two moles in Nanjing?" Li Zhiqun didn't believe it at all. He was not good at speaking, and seemed to be ready to take action again.
When Feng Sinian saw it, he quickly explained: "There are really two, among which Su Jiaxiang was developed by myself.
There were only two before, one was a reporter from Japan's "Korea Times". As a result, when he went to the front line for an interview a year ago, he was killed by a stray bullet.
Another one is a combat staff officer of the Pacification Army of the Reform Government, and Su Jiaxiang, these two people."
Li Zhiqun is actually not interested in how many moles Feng Sinian has. As long as these intelligence moles are rich and willing to work hard, they can develop at any time. There is no way to catch them.
What he cares about is how to follow this line and find the traces of the Shanghai Intelligence Department. This is the real task assigned to him by Hiroki Kagesa.
"Okay, I believe you for now. Let's talk about your online, that diplomat Philip..."
"Phillips!"
"Yes, you ran errands for him before. Have you ever contacted some customers and buyers in the Shanghai intelligence market, such as Chongqing?"
When Feng Sinian heard this, it turned out that Director Li was still targeting Chongqing elements, so he had to shake his head and say, "I used to be just hanging out on the Shanghai black market, but I just reselled some scarce supplies and arms, but the black market and the intelligence market are completely different.
Let me tell you this, the goods on the black market are visible and tangible, and you can be sure that they exist.
But everything in the intelligence market is false, just a name, which is actually the names of more than a dozen people, all of which are the top characters. People in the circle are all maintained by reputation, and each of them has their own intelligence channels, just like Phillips. He has many characters like me, all relying on connections.
The goods may be just a word, a message, or even a transaction is completed by two people just saying a few words. And it is all transactions between their big bosses, so we, the outsiders, cannot get in touch with them at all."
Li Zhiqun has always only heard of the existence of the intelligence market, but in fact he has never been exposed to it. Now that he hears Feng Sinian's narrative, he cannot tell the truth about the false for a while.
"You have never met anyone from Chongqing, so Phillips has always seen him?"
"Of course, in recent years, the business of the Shanghai intelligence market has been much more prosperous than before. Everyone in the circle knows that it is because Chongqing has become the largest buyer in the Shanghai intelligence market. They are generous and have almost all valuable intelligence collected. It can be said that they have never seen such a quick buyer, and even in Harbin and Tianjin, the information invested in the Shanghai market will be quickly taken away. Now the Shanghai intelligence market is the hottest time."
Li Zhiqun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He knew that Chongqing had done a good job in the acquisition of intelligence, but he could make the Shanghai intelligence market so prosperous by relying on his own. How much money would it take to invest? This is definitely an unimaginable huge sum of money.
Li Zhiqun asked, "You can't find them?"
Feng Sinian smiled bitterly and said, "Our level cannot be accessed, only big businesses like Phillips can do it."
They only deal with those big bosses. You don’t know that intelligence transactions are different from other goods. If you buy fake goods, you can lose money at most. However, if you buy fake goods, you will lose your life, or even many lives.
As for the price, the most important thing is to buy real goods, so in the intelligence market, reputation is the most important. Those top merchants have deep backgrounds and outstanding reputation. Let me tell you the truth that most of these big bosses are foreigners, basically have diplomatic backgrounds, and ordinary people cannot integrate into them at all."
Li Zhiqun couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He didn't expect that the threshold for the intelligence market was so high, and Feng Sinian was just a small role and an external member. His online Phillips was an American diplomat. The current international situation is very complicated. The Japanese are still jealous of the situation in this regard. It is definitely not possible to force it on their own. It seems that everything can only be returned to Shanghai and slowly figure out a solution.
Although he was a little disappointed with this result, he found a glimmer of hope and touched a corner of the intelligence market. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Feng Sinian down.
After finishing the follow-up work, Li Zhiqun changed into a dress and left the back door of Yingzuo's agency alone. He walked through two blocks and confirmed that no one was following him. Then he stepped into a restaurant, greeted the boss, and entered the private room on the second floor.
After a while, the order of wine and food was served. Li Zhiqun raised his hand and looked at the time. At this moment, a figure pushed the door open and entered.
The man was wrapped in a coat, slightly fat, with a pair of glasses on his nose, and a honest and honest look on his face. He looked at Li Zhiqun bowing slightly and whispered: "Director, I'm here!"
"Sit down!" Li Zhiqun waved his hand and signaled.
The person who came was Cui He, who was one of Wen Hao's confidants. He worked under Wen Hao's early years. Later, the working group was betrayed by Wen Hao. He was captured and surrendered to the enemy. He then worked under Wen Hao's command. He has always been Wen Hao's original team.
Later, when he joined the agent headquarters, Li Zhiqun suppressed Wen Hao very much. He sat on the bench for half a year, and his men were also panicked. Li Zhiqun took the opportunity to win over Cui He. He had no bottom line and immediately surrendered to Li Zhiqun secretly. He originally wanted to invest in another portal and develop, but then he followed Wen Hao to Nanjing to form a new agent branch, so he became the eyeliner that Li Zhiqun placed next to Wen Hao.
This time, Li Zhiqun came to Nanjing and soon contacted Cui He. He wanted to have a good talk with Cui He and find out Wen Hao's situation clearly.
Li Zhiqun first asked, "I heard that Wen Hao is now strong, how about it? Let me tell me in detail!"
Cui He had already done his homework and nodded and said, "In fact, the establishment of the agent branch is the same as the headquarters. It also has four major areas, four small areas, and then the operation brigade. It has developed very quickly in the past six months. Wen Hao has added the arrested military and central government agents into various places, and now his strength has increased significantly.
The Operation Brigade now has more than 600 armed personnel. He also received strong support from the Japanese and organized a private army, with about 300 people. This army was trained completely according to the regular army, with excellent weapons and equipment and good combat effectiveness."
Because Wen Hao, Li Zhiqun and others were both from Central Commission for Discipline, their institutions were all imitated as the formation form of the Central Commission for Discipline, which was similar.
However, the fact that Wen Hao has been able to grow to its current scale in just over half a year still shocked Li Zhiqun.
He then asked, "Who are Wen Hao getting closer to now?"
"First of all, Yushi Imai, the head of the Nanjing Special High School. Yushi Imai admired Wen Hao very much and allocated a large number of weapons and equipment for No. 21. In order to introduce many figures from the Japanese intelligence department, Wen Hao still has some connections in the Japanese intelligence community in Nanjing.
In particular, he successively cracked down on the hidden organizations of the Central Commission for Administration and the Military Control Commission, especially the established arrest of the Military Control Commission Nanjing Station, which made him completely gain a foothold in Nanjing, and the Japanese intelligence department agreed with him very much."
Wen Hao is a veteran in the officialdom, with a smooth work and a far superior skill in dealing with people and things. Once he has the opportunity, he will soon develop rapidly.
"Oh, it's really a disaster for raising a tiger!" Li Zhiqun cursed fiercely!
