Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Rice Tower rushed into the cabin, handed an envelope to Xiang Chu, and reported:

"Chief of the Shadow Agency! This is an order from our superiors."

Xiang Chu stood up, took the envelope, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Tower! Thank you for bringing it over."

He bowed ninety degrees inside the rice tower, his expression solemn, and said:

"May your martial fortune endure! May your body be thoroughly protected."

After saying that, he turned and ran out of the cabin.

Xiang Chu personally closed the cabin door, sat back in his seat, and the plane taxied onto the runway.

Yu Xiaowan exclaimed anxiously, "Brother Chu! Quick, look what's in this envelope!"

Xiang Chu nodded, opened the envelope, and inside was a telegram and a letter. The telegram read:

"Chief of the Shadow Bureau! You must meet with Mr. China, persuade him to surrender, allow him to replace Wang Jingwei, and have the Imperial army retreat beyond the Great Wall..."

Xiang Chu handed the telegram to Yu Xiaowan and sneered, "The Axis powers are already in decline, yet the Japanese high command is still indulging in wishful thinking."

After reading the telegram, Yu Xiaowan asked, "Where's the letter?"

Xiang Chu unfolded it and shook his head, saying, "It was written by your teacher when you were studying in Japan. It's still a plea for surrender."

Yu Xiaowan said bitterly, "The Japanese devils killed so many of our people, and now they want to pull this stunt. Brother Chu! Don't even let the master see this letter and telegram."

Xiang Chu put away the telegrams and letters, nodded and said, "Yes! So as not to disturb your composure, sir. Right now, we are focused on the war effort and there is no room for maneuver."

Liu Zhengxiong praised, "Well done! You've made the bald man give up on surrendering."

Yu Xiaowan retorted, "Uncle Liu! In the current situation, only a fool would surrender."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Xiao Wan is right, but the Japanese are using both soft and hard tactics, employing both civil and military means."

Yu Xiaowan said thoughtfully, "The 'civilian' approach is to persuade them to surrender, while the 'military' approach is to attack Chongqing with a large force."

At this moment, the plane took off and flew northwest.

The secret underground room of Zeng Mansion in Shapingba District, Chongqing.

Feng Na said happily, "Vice Sect Leader! Recently, Ah Xiang obtained a lot of intelligence through Elder Xie. Miss Ju Zi organized a special operation, causing chaos in Chongqing."

Zeng Yun shook his head and said, "Things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes. They're being too ostentatious, and they might give themselves away."

Feng Na said dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? The imperial army will soon be marching into Chongqing."

Zeng Yun handed her a stack of telegrams and said with a wry smile, "Is that so? The truth is that the General Headquarters has been drawing troops from the China battlefield to the Pacific War."

Feng Na took the telegram and read it through, then exclaimed in surprise, "The Imperial Army has suffered a defeat in the Pacific theater!"

Zeng Yun nodded and said, "Yes! Not only that, the German army has also suffered setbacks on the Soviet front."

Feng Na collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "It's over! The empire is finished!"

Zeng Yun shouted: "Miss Meihui! Cheer up! The Empire is organizing an army of 20 to launch a strong attack on western Hubei and advance on Chongqing, forcing Mr. China to surrender."

Feng Na got up, bowed, and said, "Vice Sect Leader! Your subordinate is willing to organize special agents, just like Ah Xiang, to stir up a bloody storm in Chongqing and deter the Chinese."

Zeng Yun shook his head and said, "No! Even if Elder Xie, A Xiang, and Ono Kikuko carry out their sabotage operations, our Qingmu Sect must remain in hiding. Mei Huizi! The Military Intelligence Bureau has been watching too closely lately; avoid contact with A Xiang and Ono Kikuko."

At this time, the radio transmission sounded.

Feng Na hurriedly stepped forward to copy down and translate the telegram, then reported:

"Vice Sect Leader! The Sect Leader is calling. The Shadow Bureau Chief is coming to Chongqing and wants us to monitor his every move. Also, she is pregnant with the Shadow Bureau Chief's child and is hesitant about whether to keep the baby."

Zeng Yun said with a wry smile, "The sect leader is so old, why not keep the child? Especially the child of the empire's most handsome general. Reply to the telegram and make sure the child is kept."

Feng Na laughed and said, "Yes! With good genes, of course we have to keep it."

Zeng Yun muttered to himself, "I always feel like the sect leader is showing off. With the Shadow Gate Chief's child, he can rival Song Xi and her gang of Chinese women."

Chongqing, Military Intelligence Bureau meeting room.

Dai Nong convened a meeting of all staff above the section level, and immediately slammed his fist on the table, angrily shouting: "Japanese spies are running all over the place, and there are assassination attempts every day. I get scolded by my boss every day. What are you all doing?"

None of the assistants, section chiefs, and directors dared to refute this; they all lowered their heads, silent as if trembling in fear.

Mao Feng smiled wryly and said, "Director! I really don't know why Japanese spies have become so rampant lately."

Dai Nong said angrily, "Is that even a question? The Japanese 11th Army is going to attack Chongqing. Japanese spies are racking their brains to try to find out our troop deployment through various channels, create panic, and make us lose our composure."

Mao Feng suggested, "Chief! Let's further intensify patrols and arrests..."

Dai Nong interrupted him, waving his hand and saying, "Even the Zhaizidong prison, which is used to hold political prisoners, is full. Where would we put any more prisoners?"

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! We can execute all those underground members of the Red Party who refuse to surrender."

Dai Nong rebuked, "Is it appropriate for you to say such things in front of so many people?"

Li Li walked into the meeting room with the phone logbook and placed it in front of Dai Nong.

Dai Nong picked up the phone book, glanced at it, and his face turned red with anger. He said bitterly:

"Chen Guo actually accused us of meddling and being nosy, but we arrested underground members of the Red Party. Is there a problem with that?"

Wang Senwu couldn't help but say, "Director! I think Director Chen thinks we're arresting too many people and stealing their thunder."

Dai Nong scolded, "Chess King! Did I give you permission to speak?"

Wang Senwu inadvertently earned a nickname from Dai Nong.

Everyone laughed, and Wang Senwu lowered his head awkwardly.

Li Li reminded him, "Director! There are also Governor Jiang's phone records below."

Dai Nong turned to the next page, his face turning deathly pale, and said with a serious expression:

"Gentlemen! The magistrate has issued an ultimatum: if we fail to alleviate the sabotage by Japanese spies in Chongqing, we will all be punished without exception."

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Batian arrived at the conference room door, but hesitated to speak.

Upon seeing this, Dai Nong shouted, "Fatty Wang! What are you doing here?"

Wang Batian laughed and said, "Director! Lord Chu will be flying from Hong Kong Island to Chongqing at three o'clock this afternoon."

"Great! The one who will break the deadlock has arrived."

Dai Nong stood up happily, glanced at his watch, and gave the order:

"Meeting adjourned! Shanwu! Zheng, the assistant! Senwu! Batian! All of you come with me to the airport to pick up Chu Xi."

Zhang Changsheng hurriedly said, "Director! I'll go over too."

Dai Nong said irritably, "Zhang Yan Gui! What are you doing over there?"

Zhang Changsheng said with a wry smile, "Chen Tianxin's wife and children have repeatedly come to me asking about Chen Tianxin's whereabouts. I want to ask Chu Xi about it."

Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "Vice Minister Zeng said that all the people he took behind enemy lines, except for Feng Na from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, are dead."

Zhang Changsheng exclaimed in shock, "Dead?...Dead?"

Wang Batian patted his arm and whispered, "Old leader! I'll inquire about this for you."

Zhang Changsheng nodded and said, "Okay! I'll leave it to you, brother."

Zheng Jie scoffed, "We couldn't find anything even in Shandong, how could Chu Xi find anything?"

Wang Batian blurted out, "Officer Zheng! We only went to Luoyang, we didn't even go to Shandong."

Zheng Jie raised his hand to slap Wang Batian, who then hurriedly made his escape.

Dai Nong shouted, "Zheng Jie! You dare to lie to me and go behind enemy lines to spy on the Eighth Route Army's Luxi Special Task Force base?"

Zheng Jie said awkwardly, "Director! The Japanese and their puppet troops have blocked us too tightly. We can't get into Shandong at all. I've already reported this to your wife."

The implication was that he had given Liu Mei a generous gift.

Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "This is the last time! Let's go."

Zheng Jie feigned great gratitude and said, "Thank you, Director!"

"Flattery!"

Mao Feng cursed under his breath and hurriedly followed Dai Nong.
