Just as Japan plans to strengthen intelligence collection work for the East China government, the intelligence departments of the East China government are also doing summary work.

Now all departments of the East China government have their own office buildings in the administrative district, but there are only two departments that have an office in the administrative building to handle matters related to the Executive Yuan. Outside the administrative district, there are also office locations. These two departments are the Military Commission and the other is the Ministry of Security, because the situation of these two departments is relatively special.

The main office location of the Military Commission is of course located in the training base in the Jing District, with a vast area, but the office building of the Ministry of Security is located in an inconspicuous newly built three-story brick-concrete building in the northeastern district of Qingdao. The door sign is not very conspicuous. If it weren't for the guards guarding at the door, I'm afraid no one would know that this is a department office building of the government.

The East China government has been in charge of Qingdao for more than three years. The urban area has expanded by more than three times, and the population has increased by more than 4 or 5 times. The population with Qingdao registered household registration has exceeded 400,000, and there is about 150,000 permanent population. Most of them are the families of officials and soldiers, and there is also more than 100,000 migrant population. Therefore, Qingdao has already been in the size of a big city. The office building of the Ministry of Security is located in a newly built urban area, surrounded by the same color brick-concrete structure houses, and the location is relatively avoided, so it is indeed not attracting attention.

There are also many legends about the Ministry of Security in the government. Some say that the houses near the Ministry of Security’s office buildings are the industry of the Ministry of Security, and the underground is connected by tunnels, with more than a dozen exits alone. There are also legends that the office buildings here are just a cover. In fact, there are other places in the Ministry of Security. Of course, the situation of the Ministry of Security is not known except for a few people from the Executive Yuan.

In fact, this inconspicuous small building is the formal location of the Ministry of Safety. The main leaders and managers of the Ministry of Safety are working here. At this time, the main leaders of the Ministry of Safety are recruiting a meeting in the conference room on the third floor.

Secretary Cheng Ying from confidential foreigners said: "Based on our surveillance, we can confirm that 5 of these six suspected targets are confirmed by Japan's intelligence bases in Qingdao. Three of them have been confirmed long ago. It is estimated that the Japanese side is also aware of this. These three intelligence points are deliberately exposed to attract our attention and cover other intelligence bases. The other two were confirmed after the incident of "Fisherman Operation" that we could only confirm. If it weren't for "Fisherman Operation" that these two intelligence points were still lurking, but there was still a suspected target that did not respond at all this time, so we cannot confirm it."

Shang Qisong nodded and said, "It has been a great gain to be able to determine two intelligence points. It also shows that this 'Yellow Bird Operation' is a success. The surveillance level of these two intelligence points is increased by one level, but they should not be allowed to notice that there is any change. Although the other cannot be confirmed, it cannot rule out the suspicion, and the possibility of still lurking is not ruled out. Therefore, the surveillance remains unchanged. In addition, the three exposed intelligence points should be arrested. Otherwise, if such a big thing happens, we have not taken any action, which will definitely make the Japanese suspect."

Li Xiangzhou, director of the Special Service Department, said: "Why don't you send the two confirmed information points to the public? What are you doing? I'll waste human resources. Now the people in our team are running at full capacity, which also saves us some trouble."

Shang Qisong shook his head and said, "No, now is not the time to capture them. The 'Yellow Bird Operation' is just a test. The arrest of the three confirmed strongholds is just to reassure the Japanese and make them think that their two dark spots have not been exposed yet. Because even if we remove all the Japanese intelligence strongholds, the Japanese will still send people to come again. We must reconfirm that unless we completely turn against Japan, we can use some unconventional means at that time, but now we still have a cooperative relationship with Japan, so we can't do too much. It's better to keep them and monitor them better. In addition, if we arrest them now, we will also alarm the snake and destroy the government's big plan. So we have to monitor them for a while. One day, we will pluck them up one after another. We will first destroy the three exposed intelligence points, which can save a lot of manpower."

Lee Sang-chung said: "That's true, okay, I can only endure it for a while before talking about it."

Shang Qisong said: "Okay, I will sort out all the relevant information about this 'Yellow Bird Operation' and I will hand it over to the Executive Yuan."

After more than three years of development, the Ministry of Security has developed into a very large organization, with more than 200 fixed staff, and more than 300 dispatched, operated, and public servants. The departments under it are complete, the division of labor is clear, each performs its responsibilities, and there are more than 600 peripheral personnel. Moreover, this is not counted as informants, hidden lines and other informal personnel.

The Ministry of Security has now deployed a tight security network across Shandong Province. Over the past three years, it has cracked more than 20 security incidents against the East China government. Among them, there are the Qing court envoys. Although the Qing court has basically given up its control over Shandong, it has not completely given up on the East China government. Bi Jing is now a major concern of the Qing court. He always has to figure out the plans of the East China government. Therefore, he has sent a lot of intelligence personnel to Shandong to collect intelligence from the East China government. Of course, he also carried out some sabotage activities. He did not intend to subvert the East China government by relying on these activities, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Qing court originally had no complete intelligence system, so the intelligence personnel sent to Shandong were very capable and had poor business level. As a result, it usually took not long to be exposed when they arrived in Shandong. Even if there were some people with strong abilities, they were all surrounded by a group of pig teammates and were dragged into the water. In the end, many of them were arrested by the Ministry of Security, but the Qing court continued to catch one batch after another, just like cutting leeks. The Ministry of Security had arrested more than 200 Qing court spies. Later, the Ministry of Security was also depressed. As long as it did not engage in sabotage in Shandong, it would no longer be arrested, but instead monitored it, which would save trouble.

Of course, in addition to the Qing court, there were also intelligence personnel from all countries to send intelligence personnel to the East China government. However, intelligence personnel from all countries basically only collected intelligence and did not carry out any sabotage operations. After all, such activities were not of great significance. Therefore, as long as they were not too overdoing, the Ministry of Security only monitored them and did not arrest them. Among the intelligence personnel from various countries, Japan is the majority, accounting for more than 70%, and the intelligence collection is the most active, and many of them exceeded the bottom line of the East China government.

This is mainly because the Japanese and Chinese are similar in races and cultures, so it is much more convenient to carry out intelligence operations than other countries. Moreover, Japan has to reproduce its intelligence work on China more than other countries, and its intelligence infiltration into China is extremely serious. However, the East China government is different from the Qing court, with extremely strict security precautions and has also arrested many Japanese spies. Of course, these are carried out in secret, and neither government of both sides has made it public.

Later, Japan realized that the East China government was different from the Qing court, and its intelligence operations were much more restrained. It did not dare to do it too clearly, but was much more hidden. It also strengthened its anti-reconnaissance operations, using multiple strongholds, and the various strongholds were not interoperable. It was directly commanded by the headquarters. It would expose several strongholds to be abandoned to confuse the eyes of the East China government, and also caused considerable difficulties to the work of the Ministry of Security, because there were a large number of suspected intelligence strongholds, and they could not be arrested and interrogated directly. It required long-term monitoring and evidence collection to be confirmed.

The "Fisherman Operation" formulated by the Navy Department this time allowed the security department to make full use of it, so it also formulated a "Yellow Bird Operation" plan, intending to use this operation to find out the intelligence base in Japan that has Qingdao.

Since the fisherman's action was indeed very sudden, the Navy Department also had a temporary intention, and only one day was there. Japan's headquarters in Qingdao was naturally unaware of it. Therefore, it was only after the People's Army Navy's fleet was dispatched that the headquarters in Qingdao was immediately infuriated. Such a major matter was not trusted at all. This was naturally a major mistake by the intelligence personnel and would definitely be punished.

Of course, being punished is secondly. Guan Jian is the People's Army Navy's fleet to be dispatched. If it is not good for Japan and causes major losses to Japan, then the intelligence personnel in Qingdao can only commit suicide by committing suicide by cesarean section. Therefore, they also urgently make up for it, so that each intelligence base can show its ability and transmit the news back to the country as quickly as possible.

In the panic, some flaws will inevitably appear. Moreover, the Ministry of Security has specially formulated the "Yellow Bird Plan" in a targeted manner, laid a tight surveillance network in the Telegraph Bureau, ports and other places, and deliberately set up some obstacles. It turned out that Qingdao did not have a telegram directly connected to Japan and needed to be forwarded through Tianjin or Shanghai. Therefore, the Telegraph Bureau deliberately said that the line in Tianjin and Shanghai had a malfunction, which made the Japanese intelligence personnel embarrassed. Although they were finally asked to send the information, the Ministry of Security found two hidden intelligence points.

After the Navy's "Fisherman Operation" ended, the Ministry of Security took action to destroy three intelligence points used by Japan as abandoned children, making the Japanese side think that other strongholds have not been exposed and secretly rejoiced. In this way, the battle between the intelligence departments of both sides was also declared over.
