Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

As soon as Iwai Yuichi arrived at the office in the morning, he received a call from Kagesa Tadaaki. He did not dare to neglect it and immediately rushed to the Ume Agency.

Kagesa Tadaaki told Iwai Yuichi about the Sugi Plan and the mining operation, and asked him to be in charge of the operation because his spy group lurking in the mountain city was good at instigating rebellion.

Yuichi Iwai was very reluctant. His Silver Fox team had already lost two members, and now the situation was tense. The other members of the team were in a dormant state, not daring to act rashly, waiting for the storm to pass.

At this critical juncture, it is still quite risky to take on this task, ask them to show up in public, bribe and incite relevant personnel, and steal the legal currency engraving.

He told Kagesa Tadayoshi about the current situation of the Silver Fox Group, saying that there were some difficulties, and asked Kagesa Tadayoshi to consider whether to arrange other departments to complete this mission, such as the Special High Section's intelligence team lurking in the mountain city.

However, Yingzuo Zhenqiao remained unmoved. He believed that the Silver Fox Team was the best candidate. Compared with the significance of the Sugi Project, even if there was a great risk, it was worth it. He still insisted on letting them carry out the mining operation.

Iwai Yuichi dared not disobey. Although the Iwai Mansion was a spy organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all Japanese spy organizations in Shanghai were now led by the Ume Agency, and Eiza Tadaaki was his immediate superior, so he had no choice but to agree.

After returning to Iwai Mansion, Yuichi Iwai began to think over and over again about how to carry out this operation and try to minimize the risks of the Silver Fox Team.

After careful consideration, he decided to send Naoki Hirota and a few others to Yamashiro to carry out this mission, with the Silver Fox Team providing assistance.

The so-called assistance is that the Silver Fox team will find a way to get in touch with the people involved in the engraving of legal tender, and then provide this information to the Hirota Naoki team, and the Hirota team will bribe and instigate the relevant people.

The reason why Iwai Yuichi thought this way was that after the safe theft, combined with what happened before, his trust in Hirota Naoki had been greatly reduced, and he didn't want him to stay by his side.

It was just right that he was sent to the mountain city through this operation. Firstly, it was a test for him. If this operation could be successful, it would mean that he was trustworthy.

Secondly, it can also reduce the risk of the Silver Fox team. He asked the Silver Fox team not to have direct contact with the Guangtian team unless necessary, and let the Silver Fox secretly monitor the Guangtian team. The Silver Fox is a very smart person and naturally knows what to do.

After careful consideration, Iwai Yuichi called Hirota Naoki and asked him to select a few people he thought were suitable to form a team, which he would lead personally to sneak into the mountain city and carry out the mining operation. He also approved 50 gold bars as funding, as well as a miniature radio and a new code.

Iwai Yuichi explained why he was sent, because he was going back to Japan tomorrow and was not sure when he would come back, but of course he would come back as soon as possible.

This operation is of great importance, and he can only feel at ease if Hirota-kun goes to the mountain city to take command in person, because Hirota-kun is the person he trusts the most and has outstanding operational capabilities. He will definitely complete this mission successfully, and the Silver Fox Team will also provide him with the necessary help.

Naoki Hirota secretly groaned in his heart. He didn't expect that Iwai Yuichi would send him to carry out such a dangerous mission. He knew that Iwai Yuichi said nice things but actually wanted him to leave him.

After yesterday's theft, he had vaguely felt that Iwai Yuichi's attitude towards him had subtly changed, and he no longer trusted him as much as before.

But since Iwai Yuichi has already given the order, he has no choice but to carry it out and pin his hopes on this action. If the action is successful and he gets the legal tender engraving, perhaps Iwai Yuichi will trust him again. This is all he can think of now.

After giving the task to Naoki Hirota, it was almost noon. After lunch, Yuichi Iwai sent a telegram to Silver Fox in Yamashiro, telling him about the mining operation and asking him to find a way to obtain information about the custodian of the legal tender engraving plate, hand it over to Naoki Hirota, and secretly monitor Naoki Hirota.

He has activated the new code, but not recently. After the Silver Fox team lost two members, he felt vaguely uneasy because the reason for the exposure was unknown. To be on the safe side, he decided to activate the new code book.

After completing all the arrangements, Yuichi Iwai began to prepare to return to Japan tomorrow. He had three purposes for returning to Japan this time.

The first was to attend an important joint government meeting, and as one of the representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he needed to rush back to participate.

This meeting was held against the backdrop of the recent Nomonhan Incident, in which the Japanese army suffered heavy losses due to the Soviet army's thorough preparation.

The purpose of this meeting was to determine the direction of national policy and resolve the dispute between going south and going north. However, it was obvious that after the Nomonhan Incident, the north-going faction suffered a blow, and the south-going faction had gained the upper hand. Iwai Yuichi also advocated going south.

His second goal is to take advantage of the opportunity of attending this conference to hand over the completed manuscript to the publishing house and publish his own personal calligraphy collection. This is also what he values ​​very much. He believes that with the blessing of Yuan Shikai's appreciation articles, he will definitely succeed and occupy a place in the Japanese calligraphy world, or even a more important position.

The third was to bring back home the precious paintings and calligraphy by famous ancient artists that he had collected in China, as well as the large amount of money he had amassed. However, with their disappearance, it was clear that this goal could no longer be achieved.

A day has passed since this bizarre theft, but Iwai Yuichi still can't get over it, and his heart aches whenever he thinks about it.
