Features: The "international agents" introduced in this book do not refer to professional spies or mysterious adventurers in the international arena. Rather, they are intelligence personnel sent by the Soviet Union, a socialist country in the first half of the 20th century, to various parts of the world for strategic interests. As most of these intelligence personnel operated under the guise of members of the Comintern's intelligence organization, they were called international agents. It can be said that all activities of this intelligence organization were behind-the-scenes manipulated by the two largest intelligence agencies of the Soviet Union at that time, the KGB and the GRU. The KGB is the abbreviation for the Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the Soviet Army. Unlike the KGB, which focused more on espionage activities, this was a completely military-controlled intelligence agency, with its leaders all selected from senior officials of the secret police. The GRU has always been one of the most secretive intelligence agencies in the Soviet Union since its inception. During the entire "World War II," the GRU established several famous intelligence networks in the world, some of which are still talked about today and regarded as models in the intelligence community, such as the European "Red Orchestra" network, the Asian "Ramzhaz" group in Japan, and the Chinese "Manchurian Qingbao" group, etc. Among these heroic groups, many glorious names emerged. This book takes the traces of the activities of the Comintern's intelligence organization in China in the 20th century as the axis, and with a grand and solemn documentary style, it comprehensively recreates the thrilling and little-known secret confrontation between international intelligence fighters to defend the red Soviet Union, support China's war of resistance against Japan, and fight against Japanese fascists and anti-communist forces in China.
