Chapter 316 The Birds Are Over
Washington, the presidential residence.
The sadness of Roosevelt's death seems to have not completely dissipated, and the staff still walked quietly.
The secretary knocked on the president's door and said softly, "Mr. President, General Marshall is here."
This is one of the changes that has occurred in the White House in the past two months, at Truman's request , meeting with the president began to have an independent set of procedures. Anyone meeting with him needed to make an appointment and then go through the secretary.
You must know that during Roosevelt's time, staff with urgent matters could find him directly in the President's Office, and they could even discuss a war involving tens of thousands of people or a loan worth tens of millions while eating a sandwich.
Everything is different from before.
When Marshall walked into the room, Truman had just put down the report in his hand.
"Mr. President, the FBI reviewed the situation that day again, and they concluded that Mr. Roosevelt did indeed die of a sudden illness, not a premeditated assassination."
Truman was noncommittal and instead asked a new question, "How do they explain what the Asian man said on the plane?"
Marshall hesitated for a moment and then said, "The FBI has also discussed this internally. It is possible that the other party happened to have a greeting and it was an accident."
"Then, my general, can you say that these things in my hand are all Is it an accident?" Truman patted the material about two feet thick on the table.
“This is the information we can collect from him from World War I to the present. If it were not titled as the Office of Strategic Intelligence, I would have thought this was a poorly written third-rate personal heroism novel. "
Marshall nodded "Yes, Mr. President, in the field of agents, he is a semi-mythical figure."
"So, my chief of staff, you think this is good. Something?" Truman's tone began to turn gloomy.
Marshall thought of the scene on the plane and said resolutely, "This is bad news. If there is an agent who can do everything in the world, it will not be a good thing for the top leaders of any country, including the United Kingdom itself."
"I'm glad we are on the same page. When we faced the Germans and Japanese, he was indeed a sharp spear, but it was obvious that our allies did not give this spear a handle." Truman put down what he was doing and continued
"According to the current situation, The situation at hand, even within the UK, has very limited binding force on him. The last Paris incident was a completely spontaneous act on his part."
"The most terrifying thing is that this kind of spontaneous behavior actually occurred. Quite a wide range of influence, at least in all directions The power was involved, and there was obviously a shadow of Cheka in it."
At this point, Truman showed his attitude, "Then how can we ensure that the next time he has a whim, the target will not be aligned. What about Washington?”
"Yes, Mr. President, this is indeed worth noting. And currently, the other party's actions have directly interfered with our interests." Marshall handed over the report in his hand.
“Due to some interference, at least several thousand members of the New Japan Founding Army are outside our control. They are closer to the London government, which is very detrimental to our post-war management of Japan.”
< br>"Do you have any good suggestions?" Truman crossed his hands on the table. "Currently, it seems that there are two people who have the most profound influence on these Japanese people. One is the female agent named Jima, and the other is this amazing Mr. 007. If they all disappear, I believe that the follow-up work will go smoothly. ." Marshall said in the calmest tone.
"Disappear? How to do it? I don't want to mess up and create a super agent who hates the US government."
"Of course, I have a complete plan here." Marshall bent down and lowered his voice subconsciously.
——
U.S. military base in Okinawa, He Chi was obviously stunned when he walked into the agreed place.
MI6 called him with a special code in this area, but when he arrived at the location, people from the FBI appeared on the opposite side, and the leader turned out to be five-star general Marshall, and next to him was the successor to the head of MI6 John Sinclair.
Two senior officials from the United Kingdom and the United States appeared at the same time. With such a big battle, will the Americans land in Tokyo Bay in advance?
"Mr. 007, I'm very sorry to call you here in this way because of time constraints." Marshall got straight to the point.
“We have just received information that a Japanese ship has just docked in the Kitakyushu area. It is loaded with a large amount of gold and jewelry plundered from other countries. The Japanese government seems to have had a premonition of defeat and plans to hide them. In a secret location."
"We lack the necessary intelligence network to accurately determine where the gold is buried, so we want to ask us. As an ally, you are here to help."
After speaking, Marshall looked at Sinclair beside him. Menzies' agent nodded. "The Strategic Intelligence Service has communicated with the headquarters. London. I hope we can help."
He Chi looked at the two people and said nothing. He didn't understand why they thought he would definitely help them get something out of the fire.
Looking at the silent He Chi, Marshall seemed to have been prepared. He smiled and took out a few photos, "Although we lack informants in Japan, we had agents take some photos of this ship when it set off. I believe You will be interested.”
He Chi’s eyelids jumped as he took the photo. The first one shows a huge Buddha head, while the ones behind are domestic-style artworks, some of which the famous artist himself can even name.
These things are not just priceless.
The Oriental took the photo and started asking, "If I help find this part of gold and antiques..."
Marshall was very satisfied with He Chi's reaction and immediately said, "As you can see, as long as it is You can take away all the things from China, and we will pay an additional 5% of the total gold as reward.”
"OK! I've accepted this mission. Are there any other personnel involved in the operation?" He Chi accepted the photo on the desktop.
"Miss Jima is your old partner. This time Mr. Sinclair specially transferred her from the Philippines to cooperate with your work. She will arrive here by plane in about four days."< br>
"What about other arrangements? Where to choose the landing site for infiltration? Where to choose the retreat direction? Are there any contact stations that can be used on the way?" He Chi directly asked a series of questions.
Marshall handed over a document with a smile, "This is the overall plan of the operation, you can read it here."
He Chi reached out to take it, flipping through the information on it, and at the same time took out the sketch The pen kept recording something.
Suddenly, his hand stopped.
At the location chosen for the evacuation point, a place name is clearly marked there:
Okura.
