Volume Eight, Hundred Years of Resentment, Chapter 117, Deliberate Provocation

When Cunxun arrived, it was already around 3 a.m.

Although not a direct participant in the war, the contribution made by the Military Intelligence Agency cannot be underestimated.

As an intelligence department, the Military Intelligence Bureau participated in strategic planning throughout the entire process before the outbreak of the war, providing the head of state with various intelligence required for strategic decision-making. After the outbreak of the war, the Military Intelligence Bureau moved to the "behind the scenes". In addition to providing strategic and combat intelligence to the General Staff, it mainly collected information related to war between countries around the world and provided decision-making basis for the head of state.

After more than 0 days, Li Cunxun was so busy that he was dizzy.

Although victory is within reach, Li Cunxun dare not be careless at all. The armistice negotiations are just a signal that the war has entered the end stage, not a sign that the war has ended. Regardless of whether the negotiations are the only means to end the war, all decisions during the negotiations require corresponding intelligence as a basis. The importance and work pressure of the Military Intelligence Bureau have not only not been reduced by negotiations, but have increased a lot.

Li Cunxun never opposed the head of state's strategic decisions.

Before taking office, Pan Yunsheng clearly and mistakenly told Li Cunxun that the Director of Military Intelligence could influence the strategic decisions made by the Head of State through the information provided, but he must never oppose the strategic decisions of the Head of State.

At first, Li Cunxun didn't understand what Pan Yunsheng said.

As Wang Yuanqing became the first country and the regime changed, Li Cunxun realized it.

Among all senior officials, the Military Intelligence Director is not only the closest relationship with the Chief of the Head, but also the most obvious impact on the Chief of the Head. Not to mention anything else, as long as Li Cunxun is willing, he can make the Chief of the Head of the Head of the United Nations through intelligence. The accuracy and objectivity of the information often determine a country's basic national policy. In the early 21st century, the United States and Britain believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction based on "error" intelligence, so they bypassed the United Nations and brazenly sent troops to overthrow the Saddam regime. They fell into the protracted Iraq War and had an irreparable impact. It can be seen that the Chief of the Military Intelligence Director's "loyalty" is enough to determine the basic national policy of the Republic. In this way, the Chief of the Military Intelligence Director must maintain a high degree of consistency with the Chief of the Head of the Central Committee and cannot have differences on major issues, which leads to intelligence and decision-making contrary to the leaders. Pan Yunsheng's ability to work in the position of the Chief of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the

This can also be explained. Why did Pan Yunsheng strongly recommend Li Cunxun as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau?

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility!

Decades of field work have allowed Li Cunxun to develop the habit of "strict self-discipline" and will never allow himself to make any mistakes.

After the war broke out, Li Cunxun rested for less than 3 hours a day. Although his youth made him energetic and could continue to work at an unimaginable intensity for ordinary people. However, high-intensity and high-pressure work still made Li Cunxun exhausted. When he received a call from the head of state, Li Cunxun was sorting out the latest information received. Because the information platform of the General Staff Department was built by the Military Intelligence Bureau, all the information sent to the General Staff Department would be sent to the Military Intelligence Bureau simultaneously. Without thinking, Li Cunxun knew why the head of state called him to go there.

After bringing the relevant information, Li Cunxun left the Military Intelligence Bureau with a lunch box for a midnight snack.

He filled his stomach with his stomach and smoked half a pack of cigarettes on the road. Li Cunxun's mental state was slightly better.

Seeing the head of state and others, Li Cunxun quickly entered a "working state".

"The news has been received by us." Li Cunxun distributed several documents he brought to the head of state and others, saying, "The fleet that encountered the 'prefabricated fleet' left San Francisco on November 3. Three oil tankers, four container freighters, four bulk freighters and one roll freighter, were all American ships. According to the list of cargo submitted when the fleet left the port, the three cruise ships carried 350,000 tons of crude oil and 700,000 tons of refined oil, of which half of the container freighter each carried simple sheds, four bulk freighters all carried grain, and the roll freighter carried tens of thousands of engineering and emergency vehicles. Although the United States did not inform our diplomatic agencies about the relevant news, the International Red Cross, the International FAO, and the International Humanitarian Association made relevant filings and stated that they provided humanitarian assistance to Japan. The more complicated intelligence suggests that ship detention and inspections are required."

"The problem is that the fleet does not obey the warning at all." Ye Zhisheng paused for a moment, "In addition, in the list of materials transported, oil and various engineering equipment are all prohibited items and food is also within the restricted materials. If the fleet does not stop moving forward, we can only intercept them by force."

Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is not that simple."

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly and looked at Li Cunxun.

"We received these information at night, very timely." Li Cunxun glanced at the documents in everyone's hands and said, "This afternoon, the Japanese ambassador to the United States went to the US State Department and talked with Brudering for several hours. He did not leave until about two hours after the Paris negotiations broke down. Then, two US aircraft carrier battle groups operating in the waters of Guam and the Hawaiian Islands turned to Japan and were expected to arrive within two to three days.

Although the US government has not released the relevant news for the time being, we have > the United States has reached a secret agreement with Japan.”

"The United States is preparing to join the war?" Gu Weimin immediately asked.

"The possibility of the United States joining the war is very slim. If Westwood intends to join the war, the US military will already be on the battlefield." Li Cunxun paused for a moment and said, "The intelligence obtained from Japan shows that the Japanese army is gathering on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island to strengthen coastal defenses, and seems to be preparing for our army's landing operations. Murakami Sasaki has issued a third war mobilization order, preparing to expand the size of the Japanese army by another 50% based on the first two mobilizations, with a total force of more than 5.4 million. The recruitment work has begun and is expected to end before the end of the month."

"This is to say..." Zong Yingren showed a confused look.

"The United States and Japan are likely to think that we will attack the Japanese mainland." Li Cunxun took out the cigarette and dispersed the cigarettes for others before lit it for himself. "We are gathering forces on Seed Island and Yakushima and posing a stance to attack the Japanese mainland. Although the United States and Japan have sufficient reasons to believe that we will not attack the Japanese mainland, our actions will inevitably cause corresponding reactions. According to the analysis of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the United States and Japan are likely to believe that the purpose of our agreement to hold a ceasefire negotiations is not to resolve the problem through negotiations, but to use negotiations to buy time for the next strategic offensive."

"In other words, Japan took the opportunity to complete its defense preparations?" Ye Zhisheng asked immediately.

Li Cunxun nodded and said, "Japan must be preparing for local defense. The problem is that Japan's major military-industrial enterprises have been blown up and have almost lost their military production capacity. Not to mention the heavy equipment used for defense, even the guns and ammunition used to arm infantry are difficult to produce on their own. According to the information we have obtained, even if Japan renovates all the firearms that were sealed within ten years, it is not enough to arm the newly recruited soldiers.

In this way, the strategic assistance provided by the United States will definitely be needed, and at least the weapons and equipment provided by the United States will be needed!"

"That is, the ships heading to Japan are not transporting humanitarian supplies?"

After looking at Gu Weimin, Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and said, "Container freighters can be used to transport boardhouses or ammunition; bulk freighters can be used to transport grain or raw materials for producing weapons and equipment; roll-ro-cargo ships can be used to transport engineering vehicles or tanks and tanks; oil tankers are no exception. Whether it is crude oil or refined oil, they have extremely high military value. However, we have no information to prove this speculation, so we cannot conclude that the ship is loaded with military supplies."

"Even if you can't intercept the ship and sink the ship, you can still salvage the cargo on the ship, then..."

"It depends on the location of the ship's sinking." Li Xun interrupted Ye Zhisheng's words and said, "The fleet's route has been carefully selected. It can even be said that the fleet's departure port was specially arranged. Departing from San Francisco to Japan, the fleet sails according to international routes and will inevitably enter the "no sailing zone" in the Qiandao Trench. The Qiandao Trench is one of the deepest trenches in the world. If I am not wrong, the depth of the fleet's current waters is about 10,000 meters. If the ship is sunk, it will sink.

However, with current technical means, it is difficult to salvage the cargo on the ship. After leaving the Qiandao Trench, the fleet will definitely not go south to Yokohama, but will turn to the nearest Japanese ports, such as Nemuro or Kushiro in Hokkaido. At this time, the fleet will enter the cover range of the Japanese Navy's offshore patrol fleet, and it is very difficult for our army to conduct interception. Unfortunately, the aircraft carrier battle group is still performing battlefield support tasks in the eastern waters of the Ryukyu Islands and cannot arrive in time."

Now, Ye Zhisheng also shut up.

Although Li Cunxun didn't say it directly, everyone sitting there heard it. This was a long-planned action.

"Xiao Li, what do you have any objection?" It was not until this time that Wang Yuanqing spoke.

"It is almost impossible to board the ship for inspection. There must be armed escorts on the ship, and they may even be mercenaries with crew members." Li Cunxun wiped out the cigarette butts and said, "Our missile guard boats are too small to intercept the fleet by impact. The only way is to launch an attack after the fleet leaves the Qiandao Trench and sink all ships. Of course, this takes a lot of risk and you must be prepared to fight against Japanese naval ships."

This time, Li Cunxun made it very clear.

After pondering for a while, Wang Yuanqing breathed his breath and said, "It's really difficult, how many choices do we have. If we let this fleet go, our strategic blockade will be in name only. Fortunately, we still have enough time to prepare. If you are not very tired, let's go to the General Staff together."

No one expressed opposition, everyone knows how much impact this interception operation has.

After asking Jiaoba Mountain to prepare the vehicle, Wang Yuanqing took the lead in leaving the study.
