Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After hearing what Ono Akira said, Kojima Kenzo was stunned on the spot, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. What happened? He hadn't taken any action yet, so why did the chief say that the operation had failed? Did the chief stop the operation because he had a premonition that his rescue operation would fail? No, the chief just said that Colonel Jiro Miyamoto's life or death is unknown. No wonder Colonel Jiro Miyamoto didn't pretend to be sick as planned and ask the prison to call the clinic. It seems that something big has happened.

Kenzo Kojima's head is now full of question marks, but he doesn't dare to ask out loud. He can only continue to wait for Ono Akira to explain to him what is going on.

Ono Akira sat on the sofa and pointed to the sofa opposite him and asked Kojima Kenzo to sit down. After Kojima Kenzo sat down, he slowly said, "I know you have a lot of questions now. It's okay. If it were me, I would have the same questions. Let me explain it to you now."

"I believe you have seen an acquaintance here before?" Ono Akira looked at Kojima Kenzo and asked a question out of the blue.

"Yes, Mr. Director, when I came to report the situation that day, I saw Mr. Sakamoto coming out of your office, but we didn't communicate anything." Kenzo Kojima answered quickly. He knew that the Director asked him this because he must know that he had seen Takahiro Sakamoto.

"Well, I don't mean to blame you, Kojima-kun. If I want to explain the whole thing to you, I have to start with Sakamoto-kun. As you know, rescuing Colonel Jiro Miyamoto is a task specially assigned to our "Eagle Agency" by the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of the Army. In order to successfully complete this task, I personally led you to Zhenjiang for a field investigation, and I agreed to your rescue plan. But that day, Sakamoto-kun came to Shanghai from the north, and I talked to him about this task. He proposed a more "legitimate" way at the time, which was to bribe people in the prison and the court through his team and rescue Colonel Jiro Miyamoto by relatively legitimate means. In this way, the risk would be reduced to a minimum. I thought about it and felt that his method was indeed the one with the least impact. If Colonel Jiro Miyamoto could be successfully rescued from prison according to his plan, then after Colonel Jiro Miyamoto arrived safely in Shanghai, the Chinese government might not I found that Colonel Jiro Miyamoto, who was imprisoned by them, was no longer in prison, and their rescue plan would not conflict with yours at all, so I agreed to their action. Sakamoto-kun's progress was also very rapid. His team members successfully obtained the notice of release from the court and successfully bribed several prison staff. According to the news from the insider, they even succeeded in taking Colonel Jiro Miyamoto out of the prison. However, what they didn't expect was that the investigation department of the Chinese government had been prepared and intercepted them on the way to Jinling. The news from the insider was that two imperial intelligence agents were killed and two others were arrested, one of whom was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured. As for Colonel Jiro Miyamoto, the insider currently doesn't know whether he is among the two killed or the two arrested. That's why I sent you a telegram to stop the action."

Kojima Kenzo was shocked. This was the truth. It turned out that Sakamoto was carrying out the same mission as him. Now he knew all the reasons. No wonder the chief sent the message to him after the action time he set. It must be that the insider sent the message at that time. But according to the chief, Colonel Jiro Miyamoto had been taken out of prison by Sakamoto's team. How could he be intercepted by the Chinese? How did the Chinese know this news?

"Kojima-kun, how do you think the Chinese knew about Sakamoto-kun's rescue plan?" After Ono Akira explained the cause of the incident to Kojima Kenzo, he raised a question. He also wanted to hear Kojima Kenzo's analysis.

Kenzo Kojima fell into deep thought. It was not easy to answer the question from the chief. After all, it was caused by the failure of Sakamoto Takahiro's team. It would be very annoying for him to analyze the mistakes of Sakamoto's team by himself. However, he had to answer the chief's question.

"Your Excellency Director, the members of Sakamoto's team are all excellent elite intelligence agents of the Empire, and their loyalty to the Empire is unquestionable. As for how the Chinese government discovered Sakamoto's plan, I think it must have been leaked by the Chinese they bribed. This possibility is very high." Kojima Kenzo considered for a moment and then answered carefully.

Ono Akira nodded in approval and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. This is the only possible problem. Kojima-kun, we don't know whether Colonel Jiro Miyamoto is alive or dead, let alone launching a rescue operation. So, your team needs to change its mission now."

When Kenzo Kojima heard that the Chief was going to give him a new task, he quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Please give your instructions, Chief. My team will definitely complete the task you assign." He was indeed a little happy. Although Sakamoto Takakoji's operation had failed, this proved the importance of his team at the moment. If the task was completed well, he might even replace Sakamoto Takakoji's position in the "Eagle Agency" and in Chief Ono's heart.

Kenzo Kojima was indeed unhappy in his heart. This damn Ryukoji Sakamoto actually dared to rely on the appreciation of the head of the agency to blatantly snatch his tasks and credit. If it weren't for Ryukoji Sakamoto causing trouble, he would have been able to rescue Colonel Jiro Miyamoto smoothly according to his plan, and he might have been drinking sake with Colonel Jiro Miyamoto in Shanghai to celebrate.

Ono Akira nodded and said, "Your team should first investigate who the two people who were captured are. Is Colonel Jiro Miyamoto dead or was he captured while injured? According to the insider, the two injured people are currently receiving treatment at the Jiangbin Hospital in Zhenjiang. Your team happens to be in Zhenjiang, so it's just right for you to do this mission. In addition, your team should also investigate the specific reasons for the failed rescue. No matter what, we need to give the Army Ministry a reasonable explanation."

Well, Kojima Kenzo was a little depressed. This was just to "cover up" for Sakamoto Takashi. It was true that Jiangbin Hospital was in Zhenjiang City, but the two injured and captured agents were clearly under heavy protection, and those who knew the situation were definitely monitoring each other. How could he investigate this? As for the specific reasons for the failure of the operation, there was no way to investigate it. This matter had obviously been taken over by the Chinese government's secret service department, and the bribed prison personnel had probably been arrested. He couldn't even see the people or ask them questions, so how could he investigate it?

"Yes, Mr. Chief, rest assured, my team will do its best to complete the task you assigned." Kojima Kenzo gritted his teeth and agreed. There was no other way. The Chief had already given the order, and he had to complete it. As for how to complete it, he could only think about it carefully when he returned.

Zhang Wenwu took a car sent by the Investigation Department to the headquarters office building of the Second Investigation Department in Jinling City. He first found the Personnel and Administration Section as required, showed the secondment order and his ID, and then after completing the registration, he was taken to the dormitory room arranged for him to rest.

Zhang Wenwu was lying on his bed in the dormitory, looking at the willow trees swaying in the wind outside the window. He couldn't help wondering what mission he was seconded to perform this time. Miyamoto Jiro had been recaptured, and two of the three Japanese responsible for the rescue were killed. The seriously injured one was also rescued. After his injuries recovered a little, he would be secretly escorted back to the prison of the Investigation Department for interrogation. What else could it be? Thinking about it, Zhang Wenwu fell asleep.

Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom...

Zhang Wenwu was awakened by the knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw his sister-in-law Liu Ping standing at the door with a lunch box.

"Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you bring me? Haha." Zhang Wenwu was really happy. He had just arrived at the investigation office and didn't even know where the cafeteria was. He had just fallen asleep and missed the meal. Now he was really feeling a little hungry. After greeting her, Zhang Wenwu quickly asked Liu Ping to come in and took the lunch box from her consciously.

"Okay, Commander Zhang, you've climbed up really fast. You're already a captain. I guess I'll have to salute you and say hello in two years." Liu Ping laughed and sat on the chair, looking at Zhang Wenwu with a smile on her face.

Zhang Wenwu said as he ate the food in the lunch box, "How is that possible? My sister-in-law will probably be a general in two years. Who knows, everyone in our family will salute you when they see you. By then, you can ask my brother to salute you a hundred or eighty times a day. Just enjoy it. Haha."

Liu Ping also laughed out loud after hearing Zhang Wenwu's ridiculous joke. She now doubted whether the description of Zhang Wenwu in the materials about the Japanese spy arrest operation she had seen before was true. He looked so careless and didn't seem like what was written in the materials.

"Sister-in-law, do you know why you seconded me here this time? I don't know anything now, I just came here in a daze." Zhang Wenwu still planned to ask his sister-in-law Liu Ping so that he could make preparations in advance. It would be bad if he was unprepared when the time comes.

Hearing Zhang Wenwu's question, Liu Ping also said with a smile: "I went to ask Dai Yunong, and he said that because you were the first to discover the target of the Japanese operation, and participated in the investigation from beginning to end, and had a clear understanding of the entire incident, you were seconded to assist in the investigation and capture of the escaped Japanese."

When Zhang Wenwu heard this, he realized that there were still some Japanese who had not been captured. That was great, this job was suitable for him.
