Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 168 Secret Passage

"Ma Yanlin?" Chen Yang was slightly stunned. Isn't this the special commissioner of the Finance Department from Jinling?

I thought that after I had scolded him last time, this guy would have some understanding and would know that I didn't like him and would stay away from me.

It's only been a few days, and you dare to come to my house...

"Let him come up." Now that he's at the door, Chen Yang also wants to see what the other party is up to.

"Hi." Hirata Noo saluted and hurried downstairs.

After a while, footsteps were heard at the door, and Ma Yanlin, wearing a long gown, appeared in front of the office door.

"Hello, Consultant Chen," Ma Yanlin said politely.

"Commissioner Ma, why haven't you returned to Jinling yet?" Chen Yang said calmly, "You've been in Shanghai for a few days, right? Is Jinling so idle?"

Ma Yanlin could hear the teasing tone in Chen Yang's voice, but he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "Advisor Chen, to be honest, I came here to ask for a favor."

"Anything? If it's about collecting supplies, I advise you to leave."

"I made it very clear last time. We are not a charity. If you want to raise supplies for Jinling, you should go to your superior unit, the Chinese Expeditionary Force."

“No, no, no,” Ma Yanlin hurriedly shook his head and said, “Advisor Chen, you misunderstood. It’s not about this.”

Chen Yang was slightly stunned and asked: "What is that for?"

Ma Yanlin said: "I have a cousin named Ma Yandong."

"He came to Shanghai from Shandong Province with a confidential document that he wanted to hand over to the Japanese,"

"This document is very important and I believe the Japanese will be very interested in it."

"I know you are in a high position, I wonder if you can introduce someone to us."

"Documents?" Chen Yang couldn't help but ask curiously, "What documents?"

Ma Yanlin was silent for a while, but still said frankly: "It's a military map."

"What's so secret about a military map?" Chen Yang sneered and said, "The military maps provided by the empire are the most complete."

"What's the use of this map in your hand?"

Ma Yanlin said hurriedly: "Advisor Chen, please listen to my explanation."

"My cousin was originally a subordinate of Sun Chuanfang, the commander-in-chief of the five provinces."

"When Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang and Jiangxi Governor Qi Xieyuan were fighting, Commander-in-Chief Sun took advantage of the situation and seized Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces."

"During this period, Commander-in-Chief Sun ordered people to draw detailed military maps."

"My cousin Ma Yandong is also from Tai'an, Shandong Province, and is a direct descendant of Commander-in-Chief Sun."

“He was in charge of drawing the maps.”

"The Japanese are now blocked by Xue Boling's 74th Army near Mount Lushan."

"My cousin said that the military map he had showed a quick passage that could penetrate diagonally into the rear of the Nationalist army from Wanjialing."

“I believe the Japanese will be very interested in this.”

Well, after listening to Ma Yanlin's words, Chen Yang felt his heart sink.

Chen Yang naturally knew who Sun Chuanfang was.

He was one of the three major warlords during the Beiyang period, along with Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang.

He served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces. He was known as "General Kewei" and "Smiling Tiger". He was the most powerful in the later period of the Zhili clique.

If Ma Yandong is really his direct descendant, then the military map in his hand is likely to be real.

In other words, there really is such a secret passage in the Wanjialing area that leads directly to the rear.

Only a few days passed from the time he ordered Song Jiayu to send back the information to the time he blew up the supplies.

Assuming that Commander Xue sent troops to Wanjialing to inspect and draw a topographic map as soon as he received the intelligence, he would definitely not have fully grasped the dynamics of Wanjialing at that time.

If the Japanese knew that there was such a fast passage, they could go straight to the rear of the National Army.

The 74th Army and the 18th Army were likely to be surrounded by the 106th Division and the 101st Division.

"Commissioner Ma, are you sure that the military map in your brother's hand is real?" Chen Yang asked with false concern: "You have to think about it carefully, this thing is not ordinary."

"If something goes wrong, he won't be the only one to suffer. I'm helping you, but I'm also taking risks."

Ma Yanlin patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Consultant Chen, we won't risk our lives to do this."

"We have always been loyal to the Empire, and it is our long-cherished wish to serve the Empire."

Damn, you traitor dog...

Chen Yang cursed in his heart but said with a smile on his face: "Commissioner Ma is indeed loyal to the empire."

"How about this, our department is having a party tonight, and I'll talk to General Sato Fumitai of the Army Logistics Department tomorrow."

"I believe the Army Department will be very interested in the military maps you have. Bring the maps over when I have arranged everything."

Ma Yanlin was overjoyed when he heard this. He thanked Chen Yang repeatedly and repeatedly assured that if the matter was accomplished, they would definitely repay Chen Yang well.

Chen Yang smiled and waved his hand, and asked Ma Yanlin to leave Ma Yandong's address and contact information in Shanghai.

At night, the safe house in the French Concession.

Chen Yang stayed in the rental house and looked at his watch from time to time.

As time went by, the expression on Chen Yang's face began to become a little anxious.

He was worried that Song Jiayu hadn't seen the emergency contact signal he had put in the dead mailbox...

It was not until midnight, when Chen Yang was about to give up, that he heard the sound of a spring lock being opened outside the safe house.

"Sir, I'm sorry I'm late. There were too many people during the day, so I could only go there to collect information in the middle of the night while buying supper."

"It's nothing, glad you can come." Chen Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Commander, what happened that makes you look for me so urgently?" Song Jiayu didn't waste any time and quickly got to the point.

Chen Yang told Song Jiayu in a deep voice that Ma Yandong had the secret passage in Wanjialing area.

Song Jiayu frowned as she listened.

Obviously, she was also very concerned about the news about the War of Resistance. She was also aware of the news that the Hata Detachment led by Gangcun, the 106th Division, the 101st Division and more than troops were confronting Xue Boling's First Corps in the north and south of Lushan Mountain.

Xue Boling was good at defense, and Mount Lu was naturally dangerous, so any attack would require a huge price to pay.

Chen Yang designed a plan to blow up the supply truck that supported the 106th Division, so the Japanese army could not launch a powerful offensive for the time being.

However, if there really was a secret passage that could pass through Wanjialing and allow the 106th Division to attack from behind, the Lushan defense line would be in real danger.

"Sir, this matter is of great importance."

"If this traitorous dog really sends the military map, Lushan will be finished."

"Sir, please give the order. Even if all the people in the Shanghai Station die in battle, this traitor must not be allowed to see the Japanese alive."

"No, no, no," Chen Yang shook his head repeatedly, "You are wrong. I just want him to give the map to the Japanese."
