Spy game? Stop guessing, I really am an undercover agent!

Chapter 70 I have a plan

Fujita seemed intrigued: "Ando-kun, tell me more about it."

Ando Shinichi nodded and said, "Mr. Fujita, Hu Xinmin has agreed to cooperate with us."

“His arrest was carried out in secret, and there was no news of his arrest from the outside world. We can take advantage of this time to make use of the intelligence he had.”

Fujita Tsuyoshi frowned slightly and said, "Ando-kun means to use that batch of gold as bait to lure Yu Zuobai of the Loyal Salvation Army to lead his troops to plunder it."

Ando Shinichi nodded and said, "That's right, we can take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Fujita frowned slightly and said, "However, I have two questions that require a clear answer from Ando-kun."

"First, are you sure the intelligence Hu Xinmin provided won't let Yu Zuobo go?"

"Secondly, can you guarantee that Yu Zuobai will be caught without any problems with the gold?"

“Ando-kun, you must know that the Chinese are very cunning. If Hu Xinmin is only pretending to surrender, he could easily take the opportunity to send out information that allows the enemy to escape.”

"As for the second point, the Nanjing government is now relying on this little bit of gold to survive."

"If something goes wrong, I don't know how I'll explain it to them."

"Although we may not take them seriously, they were built under the instruction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after all."

"If something goes wrong with the gold, it could very well escalate into a conflict between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs."

Shinichi Ando pondered for a moment, but still insisted, "Lord Fujita, I still stand by my opinion."

"If we can capture Yu Zuobo, we can wipe out the entire leadership of the Zhongjiu Army."

"That was originally a group of thugs and hooligans. Without a leader, they would be a disorganized mess."

"If the plan goes smoothly, we can wipe out the Zhongjiu Army and the Kuomintang agents lurking in Shanghai in one fell swoop."

"This is a win-win situation, and I think it's worth a try."

Fujita Tsuyoshi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, silently considering the feasibility of Ando Shinichi's suggestion.

Shinichi Ando wasn't in a hurry; he stood aside and waited for Takeshi Fujita to give his final answer.

"Alright, since Ando-kun is so confident, as your direct superior, I have no reason not to support you."

"I will fully cooperate with whatever assistance or support you need for your plan."

"But I hope for a good outcome. If something unexpected happens, Ando-kun, I hope you can consider the consequences."

"By the way, Ando-kun, where do you want to choose for the ambush location?"

Shinichi Ando said respectfully, "I've considered it. The Economic Division's transport warehouse at Maigen Road Railway Station is an excellent ambush location."

"The terrain there is wide open and there are few bunkers. Once we enter the firefight, we can easily surround and hunt down the enemy."

"The Economic Division's supply warehouse." For some reason, Fujita felt a strange unease when he heard the words "Economic Division."

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

After a moment's thought, Fujita reminded him, "Ando-kun, the director of this Economic Affairs Department has a very good relationship with the consulate. You need to be careful with your approach and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fujita," Shinichi Ando said confidently, "This plan will be carried out in two steps simultaneously."

“I have already communicated with Matsui-kun and confirmed that the intelligence transmission was successful. The investigation team will closely monitor Hu Xinmin.”

"Once Yu Zuobo and the others enter the encirclement at night, Matsui-kun will lead Hu Xinmin to wipe out the secret stronghold of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai." "Let's work together and try to wipe out the Military Intelligence Bureau's forces in one fell swoop."

Fujita nodded slightly: "Very good. Since you have a plan, I wish Ando-kun all the best. Go ahead."

"Hi"

Shanghai, City Hall, Office of the Director of the Economic Department.

Chen Yang looked at Matsui Yokoji with a displeased expression and said, "Section Chief Matsui, I will not allow you to make a fuss about the Economic Division's warehouse."

"You should know that many of the supplies in the Economic Department's warehouse are intended for the Nanjing Reformed Government."

"If anything goes wrong, I can't afford to take the responsibility."

Matsui Yokoji chuckled and said, "Director Chen, I know you're somewhat dissatisfied with us because of what happened a few days ago."

"But we are all working for the empire."

"Now is an excellent opportunity to eliminate the high-ranking members of the Loyal Salvation Army and eradicate the Military Intelligence Bureau's influence in Shanghai in one fell swoop."

"I hope you can put aside the unpleasantness from before and fully support our actions."

Chen Yang calmly said, "Section Chief Matsui, there is a Chinese saying: 'If you are not in a position, you should not meddle in its affairs.'"

"It's your business to arrest people, but this is a place for transporting supplies. If something happens here, won't your Special Higher Police be responsible?"

Matsui Yokoji chuckled lightly, "Director Chen is being too cautious. We've already made many preparations for this operation."

Before Matsui Yokoji could finish speaking, Chen Yang said seriously, "Section Chief Matsui, you don't need to tell me about what you've done. I don't want to know so much, lest you blame me if anything goes wrong with your mission."

"I just want a definite answer: if there is any damage to the supply warehouse, will your Special Higher Police be responsible?"

Matsui Yokoji was surprised by Chen Yang's stubbornness. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Director Chen, the Special Higher Police have conducted several simulations before planning the operation."

"I don't think it will cause any damage to the supply warehouse. Of course, if you have any concerns, you can move the supplies inside first."

"To avoid causing unnecessary losses."

Chen Yang said in a deep voice, "Section Chief Matsui, you may not be familiar with the workflow of the supplies warehouse."

"There are rules and regulations governing which warehouse our supplies go into and where they are stored. It's not like I can just put them wherever I want. If that were the case, the warehouses would be a complete mess by now."

"Alright, Director Chen, I don't want to dwell on this issue with you any longer." Matsui Yokoji seemed to have lost his patience and stood up, saying, "Tonight's operation is imperative. If any losses occur, the Special Higher Police will handle it accordingly."

"Director Chen, my time is very precious. If you have no other questions, I'll head back now."

Chen Yang frowned and said, "Since Section Chief Matsui has said so, I have no reason to refuse. As a member of the Empire, it is our duty to contribute to the Empire. Please rest assured, I will arrange for the people in the supply warehouse to evacuate as soon as possible and will not hinder Section Chief Matsui's plan."

"That's more like it." Matsui Yokoji nodded. "Director Chen, I'll take my leave now."

"Section Chief Matsui, please take care."

Chen Yang bowed slightly to Matsui Yokoji and watched him leave the office.

Only after the other person had completely disappeared did Chen Yang reveal a barely perceptible smile, then he picked up his briefcase and walked out of the office.

One kilometer away from the city hall, Chen Yang went into a tobacco exchange shop after confirming that no one was following him. He then picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number for the White Russian bakery on Hualan Road.

"Hello, I need an applesauce bread, delivered upstairs to 303, yes."
