This also made Lu Ming aware of a problem. North Koreans have an advantage in language and can graduate in one year, but it may be difficult for Chinese to pass the test.

Korean and Japanese are very similar in pronunciation, and the tongues of the two peoples probably grew up in the same environment from childhood.

Later, Japan colonized North Korea for decades and vigorously promoted imperial education, and the Korean way of life was also assimilated by the Japanese.

However, Lu Ming didn't want all the agents he trained to be North Koreans. He hoped to train more Chinese agents. At critical moments, his children could rest assured.

Lu Ming and Huang Yanning put forward their own ideas, requesting to finalize the list of the second batch of trainees as soon as possible, not allowing them to participate in the spy training, but to spend one year learning Japanese.

Lu Ming is very experienced in learning foreign languages. After a year of surprise training, he can basically reach the level of proficiency in speaking, writing and listening, but this requires experienced teachers and a good language environment.

Of course, Huang Yanning had no objection. That night, he finalized the list of [-] students for the second phase, and immediately sent out admission notices to these students.

This group of students originally thought that they would only be able to enroll in the second year. After receiving the notice, they were overjoyed and rushed to Shanghai from all directions immediately to join this big group.

Twenty Chinese students in the first batch were reassigned to the second batch.In this way, in fact, the first period and the second period basically start at the same time.

In the first phase, [-] trainees, mainly Koreans, directly entered the spy training. In the second phase, [-] trainees were all Chinese, and they gathered together to receive Japanese training.

The Japanese teachers that Lu Ming invited are all Koreans. They have lived in Japan and are more familiar with the customs of Japan. They will teach them, just like professional Japanese language teachers.

Yuan Mingzhu and Ning Xin'er have left Shanghai smoothly, and Lu Ming now has nothing else to do, concentrating all his energies on the secret service school.

He almost ate and lived in the school, took classes with the students, communicated with Soviet experts in a timely manner, and constantly improved teaching methods according to the conditions of the students.

Andre and Peter are also part-time teachers now. Both of them are middle-level cadres of the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau and have rich experience in training agents.

As the Soviet military advisers to the government of the Republic of China, the two had a lot of spare time, so why not use their spare time to earn extra money.

Lu Ming paid the experts a high monthly salary of one thousand dollars, much higher than their own government salaries.

The Soviet experts were very strict and serious in teaching, which was the requirement of the Soviet government, because these trainees would also be members of the Soviet intelligence system in the future.

Although the Soviet spy star Sorge had already established a spy team in Japan, as Japan's military expansion ambitions grew and the task of spying on Japan was heavy, one team was obviously not enough.

Lu Ming and the Secret Operations Department of the Soviet State Political Security Bureau reached an agreement with the foreign bureau. Some of the students trained by the Shanghai Secret Service School will sneak into Japan in the future, and the Soviet intelligence agencies will share all kinds of information they have collected.

Whether it is military or industrial, all kinds of intelligence from Japan are of great value to the Soviet Union in the Far East.

The daily work of a spy is to collect all kinds of information, and then summarize them. It is not necessary to go deep into the tiger's den to steal secrets. Such special tasks are relatively rare.

Japan's intelligence work ranks first in Asia, because they are all spies, and the general public has a strong awareness of intelligence.

No matter where the Japanese go, they have a habit of collecting all kinds of intelligence there and bringing them back to China, especially the collection of intelligence about China has reached an unbelievable level.

The map of China drawn by the Japanese is dozens of times more accurate than the map drawn by the Chinese government. For example, a certain village has a well in the east, a pond in the west, and a pond in the south. A 30-meter-high hill and more.

The collection, collation and classification of these intelligences require a lot of manpower and material resources, and even the unremitting efforts of several generations.

Japan's infiltration of China had already begun before the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], and accumulated bit by bit over the decades, it could immediately play a military role in wartime.

It was precisely because of the geographical advantages of the theater obtained by its excellent intelligence system that Japan defeated the seemingly mighty Russia in the Russo-Japanese War with its small size and great power, and took away the privilege of road construction in Northeast China.

After the outbreak of a full-scale war between China and Japan, the Japanese intelligence system and the military command led by Dai Li launched a full-scale contest. Shanghai, as the intelligence center of the Far East, staged countless thrilling stories.

Those espionage war stories that go away like smoke are far more tortuous, brain-burning, and even unbelievable than what you see on the film and television screen.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Yuanliang came to Lu Ming's apartment quietly, with an embarrassed expression, as if he had rushed all the way, and told Lu Ming out of breath that according to the information they got, Du Juan probably joined the Communist Party secretly. -party.

"Officer Lu, what should I do? I'm dying of anxiety. I know Du Juan and you..." Zhao Yuanliang hesitated to speak, but everyone on Earth knew what he meant.

"Du Juan has nothing to do with me. You said she joined the Communist Party? How is it possible? Your informant isn't trying to cheat for rewards, is it?" Lu Ming was calm on the surface, but there was a clang in his heart. Know that it could be true.

"It's not the informant's problem, it's Dujuan's real problem. I've seen several similar reports. I wanted to pretend I didn't see it and ignore it, but the reports from different levels all pointed to this point. That can't be wrong."

Zhao Yuanliang's attitude was that he couldn't hide this matter even if he wanted to. Let me tell you the truth, Lu Ming sees what to do.

Lu Ming and Du Juan have been keeping in touch by phone, and they don't see each other very often. On the one hand, it's because he's really busy now, and on the other hand, Ming Zhu went to the United States, and he hasn't fully recovered from his bad mood.

When I went to see Du Juan at this time, I didn't know what to say, or it might affect Du Juan's life.

"Who is the informant you mentioned?" Lu Ming still wanted to confirm the authenticity of this matter.

"Several informants have reported similar news, and recently a person named Du Quan reported it." Zhao Yuanliang said.

"Du Quan? This name sounds familiar." Lu Ming frowned and thought.

"He was arrested by us in the case of the Municipal Working Committee last time, and he was recruited before he was sentenced, so we let him go back to be an informant." Zhao Yuanliang said.

"No wonder. This Du Quan is a grassroots leader of a trade union, right?" Lu Ming suddenly remembered that there was such a person.

"Yes, Du Juan is a member of this trade union." Zhao Yuanliang nodded.

"Who knows the news now?" Lu Ming was a little nervous. It seems that this matter is likely to be true.

"I've suppressed the tips, they're all here, and no one else knows about them for now." Zhao Yuanliang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming quickly browsed through it. It said that it had been verified that Du Juan had been absorbed by the underground party organization as an official member at the end of last year, and officially joined the Communist Party.

Du Juan's online leader has now entered the informant's field of vision and is being tracked further.

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "Let me handle this matter. You should pay more attention to it in the future. If there is any tip from Du Juan, suppress it and leave it to me. Don't let anyone know."

Zhao Yuanliang sighed: "Sir, it's better for you to intervene as soon as possible. You can't delay it. It's best to talk to Ms. Du. If she really joins the Communist Party, she should quit quickly. Paper can't hold fire." of."

"I know, you try to help me hide it for as long as you can." Lu Ming said a little impatiently.

"Of course I have no problem here, but sometimes the informant's report will be reported to other people. If it gets into someone else's hands, the station master Weng will know soon. And he also knows the relationship between Miss Du and you..."

"Is there any way you can block the mouth of the informant? Of course it is temporarily blocked." Lu Ming asked after pondering for a while.

"Well, leave this matter to me, but Miss Du needs you to do the work, the sooner the better." Zhao Yuanliang said.

What Zhao Yuanliang meant was a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he persuaded Du Juan to quit the Communist Party as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he bought the informant. As long as the informant did not report, the news about Du Juan would not reach Weng Bailing, and Nanjing would not know about it.

In Shanghai, Weng Bailing might be scruples about Lu Ming, but if Nanjing directly came to arrest him, it would be troublesome.

"By the way, sir, I heard that the establishment of the Secret Intelligence Department has been officially approved?" Zhao Yuanliang asked with a smile.

"You are well informed. I just received a notification from the Ministry of Defense yesterday." Lu Ming also smiled.

The Secret Intelligence Department is directly under the management of the Second Attendant's Office of the Commissioned Chair, that is, it is directly under the Supreme Leader, but it is still an agency under the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense in name, with only more than 100 people in the initial establishment.

However, the Personnel Department of the Ministry of National Defense told him that the establishment is flexible and adjustable. As long as he needs it and provides sufficient reasons, he can expand the establishment in the future.

Lu Ming felt that this organization was already big enough, and he had no idea of ​​expanding it yet.

His idea was to build a small but fine organization, not a large and bloated organization like the Fuxing Society.
