Chapter 198 A Dog-on-Dog Scheme to Eliminate Their Offspring
The French Consulate, basement.
Mo Huixin led Chen Zijun, Mo Lanzhi, and Shen Li to the entrance of the secret room.
The door to the secret room had been opened, and it was pitch black inside.
A faint smell of wax filled the air.
"Young Marshal, this is the place," Mo Huixin said.
Chen Zijun nodded and went inside.
The secret room was small, only a dozen square meters.
Thick soundproofing cotton was hung on the wall, obviously to prevent sound from getting out.
But it was filled with all sorts of equipment.
There were radios, telegraph machines, encryption machines, and some other electronic devices that looked very complicated.
The equipment still shows signs of use, and some devices are even still hot.
"What are these?" Chen Zijun asked.
Moranzhi stepped forward and examined it carefully.
She picked up a radio, looked at the model number, and then looked at the transmitter.
"Young Master, these are special equipment used by the Japanese Special Higher Police," Moranzhi said. "This radio is the latest model of encrypted radio in Japan, and this transmitter is also for the Special Higher Police's exclusive use. Moreover, this encryption device is the highest level of encryption equipment used by the Japanese military, and only senior agents of the Special Higher Police can use it."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"That idiot Marcel actually built an intelligence station for the Japanese in the French Concession," Chen Zijun said.
"Not only that," Moran said. "The equipment shows very recent signs of use, indicating it was still in use recently. Moreover, I also found some notes written in Japanese script, suggesting that Japanese spies frequently came and went from here."
Moranzhi picked up a piece of paper covered with Japanese characters.
"Young Master, this is the Japanese spy's work log," Moran said. "It records the intelligence they've gathered, including our military deployments, weapons and equipment, and even your whereabouts."
A murderous glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"It seems that Marcel's collusion with Japan is deeper than we imagined," Chen Zijun said.
Shen Li frowned: "Young Marshal, this is the French consulate. The French actually allowed the Japanese to set up an intelligence station here?"
"Marcel was used by the Japanese," Chen Zijun sneered. "He thought he was using the Japanese, but in reality, he was being used by them."
Mo Huixin walked to a table piled high with documents.
"Young Master, these documents haven't been destroyed yet," Mo Huixin said.
Chen Zijun walked over and picked up a document.
The document is in French, but it contains some Japanese characters.
"What is this?" Chen Zijun asked.
Mo Huixin glanced at it: "This is a collaborative plan between Marcel and the Japanese."
"Read it," Chen Zijun said.
Mo Huixin opened the document and began to read.
"Marcel's cooperation plan with the Japanese Special Higher Police: First, establish a Japanese intelligence station in the French Concession to collect intelligence on Chen Zijun. Second, plot to assassinate Chen Zijun and frame the Northern Expeditionary Army. Third, use the assassination to create conflict between Chen Zijun and the Northern Expeditionary Army, causing internal strife. Fourth, Japan will take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Shanghai."
A murderous glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"What a bunch of Japanese," Chen Zijun said. "They actually wanted to use Marcel to pull off such a huge conspiracy."
"Young Master, there's something even more important," Mo Huixin said. "The documents record that Marcel only planned the assassination. As for the subsequent sniping and explosions, he actually knew nothing about them; they were all arranged by the Japanese in his name."
Chen Zijun was taken aback.
"You mean, the sniping and the explosion were all done by the Japanese?" Chen Zijun asked.
"Yes," Mo Huixin said. "Marcel only agreed to the assassination plan, but the actual execution was arranged by the Japanese. Moreover, the Japanese also planned to establish an intelligence station in the French Concession to collect intelligence on us."
Chen Zijun sneered.
"That idiot Marcel is being used so deeply by the Japanese and he doesn't even realize it," Chen Zijun said. "He thinks he's cooperating with the Japanese, but in reality, he's being used as a pawn by them."
"So, it's hard to say that what we're seeing now isn't what he wanted us to see. Otherwise, he should have destroyed it long ago. It seems that Marcel eventually realized he'd been tricked by the Japanese, so he retaliated with this 'extermination' tactic!"
"Young Master, this evidence is crucial," Moran said. "We can make this evidence public, expose Marcel's collusion with Japan, and put Japan at a disadvantage in international public opinion."
Chen Zijun nodded.
"Very good," Chen Zijun said. "Compile all this evidence. I want the whole world to know that the French consulate is an intelligence station for Japan. Let the French and the Japanese fight like dogs first."
"Understood," Moranzhi said.
Chen Zijun turned and left the secret room.
"Pass on my order to strengthen security in the Fuxing District," Chen Zijun said, "to prevent infiltration by Japanese spies."
"Understood," Shen Li said.
Chen Zijun walked out of the consulate, the sunlight blinding him.
"Young Master, once this evidence is released, Japan will definitely deny it," Mo Huixin said.
"Let them deny it," Chen Zijun sneered. "I have irrefutable evidence; their denial is useless. Besides, this evidence will cause Japan to lose the image it has cultivated internationally, and that's enough."
Mo Huixin nodded.
"Young Master, we need to be careful about something else," Mo Huixin said. "Although Marcel has left, the French government certainly won't let this go."
"Let them come," Chen Zijun said. "I'm not afraid of them."
Chen Mansion, Study.
Moranzhi is sorting through the documents found in the secret room.
Suddenly, she discovered an encrypted file.
The document was locked in a safe with a complicated password.
Moranzhi deciphered the code and opened the safe.
Inside is a list.
Mo Lanzhi looked at it carefully, and her expression changed drastically.
"Young Marshal!" Mo Lanzhi rushed out of the study, "Important discovery!"
Chen Zijun was looking at documents when he heard Mo Lanzhi's voice and looked up.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zijun asked.
"Young Marshal, this document records all of Japan's intelligence networks in Shanghai," Mo Lanzhi said, "including a list of their spies infiltrated into various sectors."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"Let me see," Chen Zijun said.
Mo Lanzhi handed the document to Chen Zijun.
Chen Zijun opened the document, which was covered with names.
There were chambers of commerce, newspapers, schools, and even government departments.
"So many?" Chen Zijun frowned.
"Yes," Moran said. "Moreover, the document also mentions a man codenamed 'Five-Step Snake,' who appears to be the highest-ranking Japanese official in Shanghai."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"The five-step snake?" Chen Zijun said. "It seems that the Japanese intelligence network in Shanghai is deeper than we imagined."
"Young Master, this list is crucial," Moranzhi said. "We can use this list to uproot Japan's intelligence network."
Chen Zijun nodded.
"Very good," Chen Zijun said. "Give me this list. I want to expose these Japanese spies one by one."
"Understood," Moranzhi said.
Chen Zijun looked at the list in his hand, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Japan, you just wait..."
