Sorge is the world-recognized king of spies in World War II. Sorge's famous saying is: Don't pry the safe, let the documents come to the door automatically, don't grab the secret room with a gun, let the door of the secret room open for you automatically. This is the highest realm pursued by espionage personnel, and few people can do it. Up to this point, only two people have done it, one is James Bond and the other is Richard Sorge. James Bond is fake, but Sorge is real.

October 17, 1941, German Embassy in Japan. Sorge arrested? Why Sorge was arrested. The Japanese intelligence agency said he was a Soviet spy. How is this possible? When the German Ambassador to Japan, Major General Eugene Ott, learned that his close friend Sorge had been arrested on espionage charges, the German Embassy was in an uproar. People stopped their work and called informed sources. Find out why Sorge, who is considered a close friend by the ambassador, was arrested on espionage charges. People in the embassy did not believe that this reporter from the German "Frankfurt" daily, who was elegant, graceful and close to them, was a Soviet spy. After General Ott learned of the incident, he immediately lodged a strong protest with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He expressed strong dissatisfaction with the arbitrary arrest of German citizens by the Japanese authorities and requested an urgent meeting with Sorge. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected his request. General Ott did not give up and continued to run for Sorge. He requested an audience with Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and an audience with the emperor's younger brother, but all failed.

In desperation, Ambassador Ott sent an urgent telegram to the German Foreign Ministry on the evening of October 18. The main message of the message is: Richard Sorge, the Tokyo correspondent of the German "Frankfurter Zeitung" and another German citizen Mark Clausen were arrested in an international espionage case. The German Foreign Ministry attached great importance to this, and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop summoned Japanese Ambassador Kojima. The Japanese ambassador currently stated that Sorge's behavior seriously violated Japan's security. At the same time, Ambassador Ott was summoned by the Japanese Prosecutor's Office. During the meeting, the Prosecutor's Office informed Ambassador Ott. Sorge himself has admitted that he has been engaged in espionage work for Moscow for a long time. The case is under review. Ambassador Ott telegraphed the matter to Berlin. Three days later, Ambassador Ott was recalled to Germany.

In October 1895, near the Baku oil fields in the Transcaucasus region of the Soviet Union, a young life was born. He was the future famous Chad Sorge. His father was a German and his mother was It's Russian. When he was three years old, his family moved to Germany. There were nine Sorge brothers, and Sorge was the youngest. Therefore, Sorge was born sensitive and dull since he was a child, so he relied heavily on his mother, so he was very close to her. When Sorge was three years old, his family moved to Germany, but he always studied Russian with his mother. During World War I, Sorge went to the battlefield. Sorge was seriously injured three times on the battlefield. One leg was hit by shrapnel, leaving him with a lifelong disability. Due to his bravery in combat, he was promoted to sergeant and won the Iron Cross Second Class. Out of disgust for the war, Sorge joined the German Communist Party on October 15, 1919. Four years later, under the careful arrangement of the German Communist Party, Sorge and his wife went to Moscow. In March 1925, he joined the Soviet Communist Party and became a Soviet citizen. After that, Sorge received training in the Soviet spy agency, and eventually he became a senior spy of the Soviet KGB. But it is worth mentioning that his grades in school were average and not outstanding.

But Sorge has special qualities that other students do not have. Because he has a keen political acumen, profound international knowledge, has very incisive and unique insights into international affairs, and is proficient in German and Japanese, so that the Soviet Union The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted to find this person from the KGB, but the KGB flatly refused. After graduation, Sorge was sent to Shanghai, China to engage in espionage work, mainly responsible for spying on Japanese military operations in China. In the early spring of 1932, Sorge was recalled to Moscow from China. The top Soviet intelligence agency ordered him to go to Japan to work as a German reporter. espionage work and was responsible for forming an espionage team led by him.

Since Sorge lived in Germany in his early years, he was accustomed to German living habits and had certain connections through his father. Therefore, under the operation of the KGB, he was reviewed and qualified by the relevant German departments, and recommended by his friend Colonel Ott. Sorge was hired by the German "Frankfurter Zeitung" as a reporter in Japan. Fortunately, his Friend Colonel Ott had previously been appointed by the German Foreign Ministry as military attaché at the German Embassy in Japan. This gave Sorge a protective umbrella.

While in Japan, Sorge established a special intelligence team (Ramza Team) headed by him and Ozaki Hidemi. Hidemi Ozaki is the personal advisor to the Prime Minister of Japan. Sorge can obtain a large amount of intelligence through his extremely close relationship with Otto. Every night, Sorge would compile a large amount of intelligence from the intelligence team and transmit it to Moscow through a secret radio station. One day, Sorge received a call from Ott while he was sleeping at home, asking him to go to the embassy immediately. After arriving at the embassy, ??Sorge asked him angrily: Do you think I have insomnia? Dear friend, you are disturbing my sleep at such an early hour.

Look at this, Ott said to Sorge with some pride, and then handed Sorge a top-secret document. The message read: Tokyo, Colonel Augen Ott, according to the order of the head of state, will appoint you as the German Consulate General. Ambassador to Tokyo and promoted to the rank of major general. If you accept, please call back immediately. If you have any questions, please return to Berlin immediately and report to the head of state of Germany, the German Chief of Staff, General Reich Wiederbeck, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ribbentrop.

Hello, Mr. Future Ambassador, Sorge said happily, and at the same time gave a Japanese salute to Ott. You called me here just for this matter. I can’t wait until tomorrow. How great are you? A lot of vanity. Ott asked: Should I accept this position? No, you should refuse this position. Why is Ott a little surprised? I heard people say that when some people are promoted, they lose many of their ordinary qualities. I don't want to lose such a friend. Ambassador Ott laughed. . That night, Sorge telegraphed to the KGB that Ott had become the German ambassador to Tokyo.

The world in 1939 is destined to go down in history. Germany launched a full-scale war in Europe, dragging the entire world into the quagmire of war, while Sorge and the intelligence team he led were working selflessly, Japan The military police and Japanese intelligence agencies have long discovered that mysterious radio waves are increasing in the air. However, these radio waves are chaotic and the location of the transmission is unpredictable, leaving the Japanese intelligence agencies confused. The radio stations sometimes suddenly stop working and then change. It started again in one place, but the radio waves changed to another wavelength and frequency, and the time was also erratic. The chaotic radio waves made the Japanese intelligence agency believe that there was an espionage organization in Tokyo, Japan. In this, the Japanese clearly felt a secret that could not be revealed.

At the end of 1939, at a press conference held by the German Embassy, ??Sorge chatted with an embassy staff and learned that Germany wanted to sell a batch of high-precision testing instruments to Japan. This instrument can detect the origin of radio waves within a radius of ten kilometers within five minutes. Sorge realized that these advanced German instruments would directly threaten the survival of the telegraph team. He told his assistant Clausen about this and ordered him to shorten the transmission time as much as possible. That night, in a private chat with Ott, I learned that Ambassador Ott would accompany Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka to Berlin. Moreover, Ott showed Sorge the telegram sent by the German Foreign Ministry to the embassy. Logically speaking, this is absolutely not allowed. The content of Ribbentrop's telegram was: Please take all measures to allow Japan to capture Singapore as quickly as possible. Cutting off Britain's maritime shipping lines.

Sorge has been keenly aware that after the foreign ministers of Germany and Japan meet, they will definitely talk about each other's military action plans. As Yosuke Matsuoka visited Berlin, Ambassador Ott accompanied him. Half a month later, Otto returned to Tokyo. Ott told Sorge that the content of the talks between the two foreign ministers was: The German government informed the Japanese government that as long as Japan moves south to occupy Singapore, there is no need to worry about Russia. Germany will dispatch 240 divisions to deal with the Soviet Union and is ready to launch an attack on the Soviet Union at any time. , if Russia takes a tough stance against Germany, the head of state will destroy it within a few months. Sorge has extraordinary memory. Although the conversation between the two was very rich and complicated, and it was just chatting, Sorge has already Keep the relevant information in mind. Ott's conversation was just casual talk, but Sorge could already determine that Germany was preparing to invade the Soviet Union.

The situation was very urgent. After Sorge came back from Ott's house, he urgently drafted an emergency telegram. Germany was preparing to launch a war against the Soviet Union. Hitler was prepared to wait for Russia to go to war after the spring in order to use the Soviet Union and Combat raw materials and food bases in Europe serve as logistical supplies. In early May 1941, Sorge once again warned the Soviet Union. Many German representatives had returned to Berlin. The intelligence team in Japan believed that the German war against the Soviet Union would break out at the end of May. On May 19, Sorge again reported to Moscow that Germany would mobilize 9 armies and 150 divisions to launch an attack on the Soviet Union. On June 1, Germany would use flanking maneuvers and roundabout operations in an attempt to outflank certain Soviet armies. This was The most secret strategic and military intentions enunciated in Plan Barbarossa. However, Stalin did not pay enough attention to this intelligence. He still believed in the effectiveness of the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty. But Sorge didn't know this. He continued to take huge risks to sound the alarm, thinking that the intelligence he sent could prevent the country from being caught off guard.

On February 6, Hitler held talks with the Japanese ambassador at the Führer's residence and informed Germany that Germany would eventually attack. Hitler hinted to Japan that he hoped Japan would also join the war and launch a north-south pincer attack on the Soviet Union. This was a surprising move. Shocking news. After Sorge learned the news through the Ott Embassy and the Prime Minister's Secretary Hidemi Ozaki, Sorge sent the most important piece of information in his life. Germany would launch a full-scale offensive at dawn on June 22. But Sorge did not know whether this information would be effective. On June 22, 1941, Sorge was the most uneasy day. He was extremely nervous and waited for news, but there was no news. The news of Germany's attack on the Soviet Union gave him a glimmer of hope. He hoped that his intelligence was wrong.

He was wrong. Today is Sunday. Just as Sorge was on his way out, Radio Tokyo announced that the Soviet-German war had officially broken out.

After the war broke out, Sorge received a radio report from the KGB, asking him to find out as soon as possible whether Japan planned to attack the Soviet Union's rear from the Far East. Due to the heavy casualties of the Soviet troops on the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet Union must reduce its presence in the Far East as much as possible garrison to reinforce the Soviet-German battlefield, the KGB ordered Sorge's intelligence team to concentrate all efforts to complete this task. As for Sorge's final mission, Japan would not launch an attack on the Soviet Union in the Far East. After Stalin obtained this information, millions of Far East troops were transferred to the Soviet-German battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that Sorge's information saved the Soviet Union.

At this time, Sorge's physical condition became worse and worse, and he often fell ill. Japan's counterintelligence agency has stepped up inspections of radio stations. We have been tracking the mysterious radio wave that appears frequently and erratically for a long time. Although we have found nothing, we already know that the existence of this radio wave will pose a huge threat to Japan's security. The Japanese intelligence agency responsible for counterintelligence decided to step up its efforts. By chance, the Japanese counterintelligence agency arrested a seamstress. During the interrogation, the seamstress mentioned Sorge's Japanese driver, which made her four virtues. At this point, Sorge was discovered by the Japanese spy agency, and Sorge and Hidemi Ozaki were included in the suspects. Sorge's residence was secretly bugged, and someone was responsible for tracking and monitoring him, but they found nothing. But long-term intelligence work has made Sorge realize that he is being monitored. He just hopes that nothing will happen recently. He wants to send out important intelligence on whether Japan will attack the Soviet Union in the future.

After obtaining absolute evidence, Japanese intelligence agencies made an urgent report to Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. Because the situation was so serious, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo personally signed an order to arrest Sorge. When the German Embassy learned that Sorge was a spy, they couldn't believe it. It was really ridiculous. Ambassador Ott even yelled at Japan. The Japanese intelligence agencies were fools and scolded them for trying to sow discord between the German government and Japan. Today they arrested If you kill Sorge, you can catch me tomorrow. The German Embassy has tried many times to do this, but to no avail. They have visited Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and visited the emperor's younger brother, but in the end they returned without success.

In Japan's counterintelligence agency, Ambassador Ott was forced to have no choice. Officials from the Japanese Intelligence Agency handed materials to Ambassador Ott and said that Sorge was a communist. Ambassador Ott submitted all the information to the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that after verification by the German intelligence agency, the information would be proven to be false. However, after a while, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a fax saying that the intelligence sent was In reality, Sorge was indeed a member of the Soviet Communist Party and he led an intelligence team. Ambassador Ott just woke up from his dream. His close friend turned out to be a Soviet spy.

After being arrested, Sorge never admitted that he was a spy. I only fought against the war. I am a member of the Communist Party of Germany, I am a citizen of the Soviet Union, and I am a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In May of that year, Japanese newspapers disclosed the news of the arrest of Sorge's spy team for the first time. On September 29, 1943, the Japanese court announced that Richard Sorge and Ozaki Hidemi were sentenced to death for espionage, and other relevant personnel were sentenced to death. Sentenced to life imprisonment, October 7, 1944 was the 27th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet October Revolution. The Japanese authorities chose this day to execute two important members of Sorge's team, Ozaki Hidemi and Sorge.

At 10:36 in the morning, a grand military parade was being held in Moscow at this time, and Sorge was taken to the execution ground. It was less than a year before the Soviet Union's final victory. After Sorge was shot, his body was buried in Tokyo and handed over to a mass grave. As the mushroom cloud floated over Hiroshima, Japan surrendered. Sorge's confidante Hanako jumped up after hearing the news from the radio. She rushed to the prison to welcome her lover Sorge out of prison as his wife. But since Sorge was executed secretly, Shihuazi did not know. When she learned that Sorge had been shot, Ishii Hanako was in agony. She came to the mass grave and desperately searched for Sorge's body. In a highly hostile atmosphere, while searching for Sorge's body alone, the U.S. authorities arrested Hanako, suspecting that she was not Japanese. Hanako spent 4 years trying to finally find Sorge's remains in a mass grave. Hanako cremated Sorge's remains and found them among the ashes. Since the denture braces were burned into a small piece of gold, Hanako used this piece of gold. An engagement ring was ordered and put on his hand, so that he could be together forever with his long-dead sweetheart.

Hanako, who had already "married" Sorge, spent all her money to order a granite stone tablet and personally drafted the inscription: Richard Dorge. 1895-1944. Here rests a hero who dedicated his life to opposing war and defending world peace. He was born in Baku in 1895, came to Japan in 1933, was arrested in 1941, and died heroically on November 7, 1944.

I am the clear water, the watchman of history. Looking forward to your attention and comments.
