"There are many possibilities," Nohara Fener said. "Generally speaking, secret radio intelligence officers will not easily change the hidden locations of the radio."
"Tell me specifically." Arao Shio said.
"If you want to cover up the radio antenna, they need to spend a lot of effort to design reasonable hiding." Nohara Fener said, "In addition, it needs to be absolutely safe when sending telegrams. It is very difficult to build such a safe house."
"I understand what you mean." Arao Shiyo nodded, "So, this time the radio station has changed its sending location, which attracted your attention as soon as possible."
"Yes, Section Chief." Nohara Fener said, "Generally speaking, even if you change the location, there will be no distance. The reason why we caught our attention this time was that the other party suddenly appeared in the public concession from the French Concession he was familiar with."
After pausing, he continued, "The biggest possibility of this kind of change of location is that he realized that his original safe house was unsafe, so he had to transfer it."
...
"You said that is the greatest possibility, that is, there are other possibilities?" asked Arago Chiyo.
Compared to this "big possibility", with his temperament, he sometimes becomes more interested in those "small probability possibilities".
"Yes, there is another possibility," Nohara Kin'er said, "that is, because of work needs, the radio station needs to be brought to the public concession for use."
"For example?" Araoshi Masao was immediately interested when he heard this, "Give an example."
"For example," Nohara Quaner thought for a while and said, "In the public concession, a certain unit or even someone needs to use a radio station, but they do not have a radio station, so they temporarily used this radio station that had appeared in the French concession for a long time."
"I understand." Arao Shiyo nodded, "How likely is this possibility, based on your professional knowledge and experience?"
At this time, he also keenly noticed the excitement in Nohara Quaner's eyes when he used the word "professional".
"Extremely low." Nohara Fener said, "Generally speaking, assume that our guess is valid first. However, even if someone or unit in the public concession needs to send a report, he will not ask the other party to take the risk to bring the radio station to the public concession, but will send a report to the location of the radio station in the French concession."
"So, what if this situation really happened?" Araoshi said, "There is indeed an emergency information in the public concession to send it, but he is unwilling to, or cannot send it to the French concession, and the other party must bring the radio."
"Then there is only one explanation." Nohara Quaner thought for a while and said, "The radio owners of the public concession and the French concession had never had a horizontal connection before, but because of an emergency, they had to contact each other."
"That's right." Arago's Shino nodded slightly. The situation that Nohara Quaner analyzed was inexplicably consistent with the information leaks of the empire's entry into the French Concession.
The two sides had no acquaintance before and had never had horizontal contact. The public concession may have risked sending reports at great risk. At the same time, in order to protect the safety of the radio station, the radio owner was forced to take the radio station out of the French concession. Compared with the danger of carrying radio stations across the two concessions, the other party may have greater dangers when risking sending newspapers.
...
Araoshi and Nohara Fener talked about their analysis and asked, "Can you help me identify and confirm this guess from the professional aspects of radio signals?"
"It's not impossible to distinguish." Nohara Quaner thought for a while and said, "As long as we stare at this radio station, if we can confirm that the next time the radio station sends the next newspaper, or that the following newspapers still appear in the old places in the French Concession, we can basically confirm this speculation in reverse."
"Very good." Arao Shino nodded with satisfaction, "Look at this radio station and report to me in time if there is any situation."
"Hayi."
"That new radio station is the key investigative target." Arao Shimo said.
"Hayi."
...
After Nohara Fener left, Arao Shio sat on a chair and thought.
The radio signal monitoring results of the Telecommunications Research Institute, the three radio stations mentioned, aroused his strong interest.
One of them is the "special" radio station, which was interrupted for two minutes on the way to send the newspaper.
There is also the radio signal that has never appeared before.
Also, this radio station that originally appeared in the French Concession but suddenly appeared in the public concession this time.
Among them, the newly emerging radio station, Arao Shin-yo is the most interested in, which is the most in line with the situation of this top-secret intelligence leak:
The other party is a sleeping senior agent and will not be activated unless it is absolutely necessary. It is precisely because of the top secret information that the empire is about to enter the French Concession that the other party has to relieve sleep and be officially awakened!
...
"Incompetent government!"
"It is the incompetence of the government that will drag the powerful France into such a situation step by step!"
Pete held the bottle of wine in his hand and cursed the people in power far away in France.
There was a thick stack of telegrams on his desk, which were his telegrams with friends in Paris.
Pete dug out the telegrams, as if he wanted to find out the reason for the French army's rapid defeat.
Cheng Qianfan did not comfort Pete. Any words of comfort at this time were empty and exhausted.
He picked up the telegrams on Pitt's desk and read them. Through these telegrams, Cheng Qianfan had the most intuitive impression of the sudden fall of the powerful French capital.
From the war to the end of May and the end of last month, the war seemed out of reach from the capital of France.
The citizens of Paris believed in the government's propaganda: the Allies' strength was strong, the Maginot line of defense could not be broken, Paris would be well protected, and the Allies would soon win the battle against Germany.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The latest battle reports are updated in the newspaper every day, and it seems that they have nothing to do with Paris.
Paris citizens were watching the fun, watching the news reported in the newspaper about the "Red International Red Party members were arrested by Germans", "Soviet Russia invaded Finland", "Moscow's Red Devil is the biggest threat to Europa".
Wars seem to be far away from Paris.
Just a few months ago, the front page of The Evening Paris was a report of Hollywood's latest film, and the war seemed to be so far away from Paris.
A friend of Paris described in a telegram sent to him at the beginning of the year that the front page of Le Figaro was focused on the Soviet-Finnish War, and it seemed that the war between France and the German that had declared war did not exist.
It seems that everything will be as the government said. France is protected by the Maginot Line of Defense, and the war cannot burn to Paris. The material supply system that began to be implemented two months ago is a bit annoying. French citizens are very unhappy and think that the government is making too much trouble.
But with the German offensive resurrected in May, the war reports in the newspapers gradually became terrifying, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium either surrendered or stopped resisting one after another.
But the columns of the Paris newspapers are still appeaseing people's emotions.
"The Germans are so powerful because the powerful France has not yet launched a counterattack!"
"The powerful France is not comparable to a small country like the Netherlands and Belgium!"
News about "All American citizens are evacuated and returned to China today" began to be reported in the newspaper, but was ridiculed by Parisian citizens, saying that the Americans have never experienced war and are cowards. Their evacuation is disrespect for the powerful France.
However, soon, Paris's train station was becoming more and more noisy, with more and more refugees on the roadside, and the government's burning of documents reminding the residents of the city that this war seemed to be different from what was expected in advance.
The terrible Luftwaffe air strikes spread around the refugees who poured into Paris made many Parisians finally start to feel suspicious.
...
Paris newspapers began to update the situation of the Dunkirk retreat in real time, although under the order of the government, the French media tried their best to portray Dunkirk as a positive and positive military victory.
Describing Dunkirk as the British and French coalition forces highlighted the Germans' heavy siege, and the Germans suffered heavy losses for this. The powerful France began to show the Germans their strength.
Some of the Parisian citizens are half-doubted about this, while others firmly believe that there will be no problems in Paris.
Then, suddenly, on the 13th, the French government declared Paris an unguarded city.
Parisians were completely caught off guard.
Just when the front page of the Daily News published the next morning reported that Paris became an unguarded city, the German army officially entered Paris.
The most ironic thing is that when the Daily News released the front page of the report on Paris' unguardedness to the citizens of Paris, the newspaper's editorial department had retreated from Paris to Limoges in the southern Aquitaine region.
In other words, only the citizens of Paris did not know what happened, and then woke up and the capital fell.
"The citizens of Paris were abandoned." Cheng Qianfan put down the telegram and shook his head and said, "As the capital of France, Paris was declared unprepared. There was not even a battle to defend Paris, and it was occupied by the Germans."
It can be said that Paris fell in this way, which shocked him.
"Yes, betrayal!" Pi Te nodded, took a sip of wine, and said with a wry smile, "Faced with the Japanese, China, with weak national strength, has resisted for so long. Nanjing has a war of defense, and Paris was occupied by the Germans without a single shot."
As he said that, Pete raised his neck and drank the wine from the bottle, then wiped his mouth, "I want to go back to China!"
...
"Return to China?" Cheng Qianfan was startled, "What are you doing when you go back?"
"Defend my country!" said Pete. "Although Paris has fallen, although the north has fallen, but there is still the south."
"I analyzed these telegrams and newspaper reports. The hundreds of thousands of powerful French troops have actually lost less than 100,000 people so far!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if these analysis had given him infinite strength. "Based on the intelligence I had, the French government is now moving to the south, and they will regroup in the south and continue to resist the German invaders!"
"I want to go back, I want to go back to my motherland, take up weapons, defend the country, drive the German invaders out of France, and completely eliminate them!" Peter became more and more excited as he spoke, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.
He yelled to return to his country, defend his country, and kick the Germans hard in the ass. He yelled, and then he was drunk and fell asleep on the table.
...
In the next two days, Peter was still clamoring for returning to China.
"I think you should consider more about how to defend the French Concession!" Cheng Qianfan said with a frown, "It is said in the newspaper that the Japanese are ready to occupy the French Concession!"
"They dare not!" Peter said firmly, "The Japanese dwarfs are just talking big. They are threatening us. They want to force us to give in through this threat and accept some of their unreasonable demands!"
"They dare not enter the French Concession," Pitt continued, waving his fists, "Mr. Fergeson and I have met. We agreed that this was a war intimidation by the Japanese, and they were bluffing."
"Bluff?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Pete. He had experienced the arrogance of the French people before, but at this moment, he was still extremely shocked. Why should the French Concession authorities think that the Japanese were just intimidation?
"Yes, the Japanese dwarf is bluffing!" said Pitt.
"The French expatriates in the concession probably don't think so." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said.
After the news that the Japanese were about to occupy the French Concession spread, the French Concession was panicked, and the French expatriates were even more panicked. The tickets for ships left Shanghai were hyped to sky-high prices in just two days.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The concession authorities have contacted Marshal Betan's Provisional Government." There seemed to be a little more light in Pete's eyes. "The French Republic still has hundreds of thousands of troops in the south, and France is still resisting. The Japanese dare not have any substantial aggression against the French concession at this time."
"You mean, the Southern Provisional Government will warn the Japanese to curb their attempts to invade the French Concession?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
A glimmer of hope also surged in his heart. If this was the case, it would be a great news that the Japanese could really curb the ambition to occupy the French concession.
...
"It should be." Peter said in uncertain tone.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan frowning, he immediately said, "Anyway, the Japanese dare not take action."
He said loudly, "Even France, which has temporarily suffered huge losses on the battlefield of Europa, is not the Japanese dwarf who dared to offend it!"
Pete said to Cheng Qianfan firmly, "As long as France is still resisting and as long as the war continues, the Japanese will not dare to risk offending France completely and have substantial occupation of the French Concession!"
At this moment, Alfred, a French police officer in the investigation team, rushed in with a telegram.
Cheng Qianfan saw fear and anxiety in Alfred's eyes, and hesitation and sadness.
"What's the matter?" Pitt asked with a frown.
"Surrender, surrender." Alfred shouted in horror.
"What?" Pete snatched the telegraph in Alfred's hand.
This is a telegram from the port of Marseille, France, and the telegram is very short:
French national hero Marshal Betton has delivered a national radio speech, announcing-
France surrendered to Germany!
