Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

Since this is a photo of a meeting between Major General Sakanishi and the American Deputy Consul General, there is no actual evidence to prove that Major General Sakanishi was the leaker within the Japanese Expeditionary Force.

After Iwai Shinichi and Ma Liang agreed on contact information, Ma Liang left Iwai Shinichi's mansion.

After Ma Liang left, ecstasy immediately appeared on Iwai Shinichi's originally calm face, and he kept looking at the photo.

Yuan Shu's psychological shock at this moment was no less than Iwai Shinichi's.

Oh shit!

He just met an information dealer at a party and thought he was another liar who was trying to fool Shinichi Iwai, the big villain.

Nima!

A big revelation came out right away!

Now an intelligence officer who has great strategic value to the domestic front has been exposed.

Should we report to the Military Control Commission and risk being exposed, and ask Major General Sakaishi, who is our own man, to move quickly?

Just as Yuan Shu was having a fierce psychological struggle, Iwai Shinichi couldn't help it anymore. He picked up an envelope, put the photo into the envelope, and put it close to his body.

"Mr. Yuan, you have done a great job this time. Let's go to the expeditionary force headquarters and give those arrogant land deer a good slap in the face!"

Yuan Shu did not move. Instead, he pretended to be cautious and suggested:

"Iwai-kun, a few photos that haven't been authenticated are probably not enough to identify a major general."

"If this is a counter-espionage plot carried out by the US intelligence agencies, the consequences are probably something we cannot afford."

"I suggest you first find a professional to identify it, and then report it to the Consul General after confirmation. Finally, you can get the maximum value with the intervention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

Yuan Shu's well-reasoned words calmed down the excited Iwai Shinichi. After thinking carefully, he said to Yuan Shu with great admiration:

"As expected of Mr. Yuan, you are so thoughtful. I was the one who was anxious! If we rashly approach them, given the temperament of those army members, they will probably refuse to admit their mistakes and turn the tables. We really need to think carefully."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Yuan Shu was overjoyed and stood up in a hurry:

"Iwai-kun, I know a few professional photographers who have been in the industry for more than ten years. I will ask them to come and help identify the photos."

After saying this, Yuan Shu was about to leave.

"and many more!"

"Mr. Yuan, there's no need to bother you with this little thing. I'll ask my secretary to do it. We just need to wait here."

Iwai Shinichi called out to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu also understood that Iwai Shinichi was still in an extremely sensitive stage at this time. After all, he was a Chinese, and Iwai Shinichi was always wary of him in his heart.

So he sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened, and began to analyze Ma Liang's origins with Iwai Shinichi.

I just silently apologized to Major General Sakanishi in my heart:

"Major General Sakanishi, I can only buy you some time. The rest depends on your luck."

Half an hour later, four or five professional Japanese photographers took magnifying glasses and observed the photos provided by Ma Liang millimeter by millimeter, but still did not find anything unnatural.

"We guarantee with our loyalty to the Empire that there is nothing wrong with these photos. Both the background and the expressions of the characters are real and not spliced together."

Several experts gave their assurances.

Photo Photoshop actually exists in this era. Two photos are cut and combined and spliced together by skilled craftsmen, and then photographed with another camera, or the film is directly repaired and spliced.

But this technology is very crude and can only be used to deceive ordinary people.

In the eyes of professionals, it is still easy to find clues, such as the background of the photo, the demeanor and expression of the characters, but it is impossible to restore them 100%.

However, for modern PS technology, it is still agent-level PS technology.

Not to mention ordinary people, even many experienced police officers may not be able to see it even with a microscope.

After obtaining proof again, Iwai Shinichi no longer hesitated. He ordered his men to temporarily place these experts under house arrest, and at the same time took Yuan Shu directly to find the Consul General in Shanghai.

After listening to Iwai Shinichi's report, Consul General Akao Kanjo stood up in surprise, regardless of his manners.

"Is this true?"

"After repeated verification by our Iwai Mansion intelligence personnel, the photo is confirmed to be correct. Major General Sakanishi has studied in the United States and maintained an American lifestyle after returning to Japan. During his stay in Shanghai, he often mixed with European and American monsters. He is suspected of leaking major secrets."

Iwai Shinichi almost subconsciously concealed Ma Liang as the source of information, and instead attributed all the credit to the Iwai Mansion, which he himself founded.

"Yoshi! As expected of Iwai-kun, Iwai Mansion has achieved such great results in less than half a year since its establishment. You are truly the pride of our Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"But this matter is serious. I need to inform the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and try to make this matter a solid case, not giving the Army a chance to cover up, and strive for greater benefits for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Akao Kanjo is worthy of being the Consul General, just as Yuan Shu thought.

While Shinichi Iwai admired the Consul General in his heart, he also paid more attention to Yuan Shu who expressed the same opinion.

In order to avoid further complications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed with Akao Kanjo's opinion that afternoon, although there was no solid evidence to prove that Major General Sakanishi was the source of the leak.

However, based solely on the photos provided by Ma Liang, the collusion between an Army Major General who knew the secrets and the Deputy Consul General of the United States was enough to justify initiating an investigation into Major General Sakanishi.

After obtaining explicit authorization from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Consul General Akao Kanjo came to the office of General Shunroku of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

"idiot!"

"Can a photo alone be used to slander a major general of the Imperial Army?"

As expected, when the expeditionary force commander Tian Shunroku saw this photo, he was deeply upset, but he still pretended to be angry in order to save the face of the army.

Akao Kanjou was not surprised, but looked at the bluffing Tian Shunroku and said calmly:

"Whether it is slander or not, your and my decision has no say. At this moment, the intelligence elites of my Ministry of Foreign Affairs have set out to surround the home of Major General Sakanishi who is recuperating at home. I came here to specially invite you to witness it together. Both parties will jointly handle the case!"

Having said that, Tian Shunroku also understood that Akao Kanjo had obtained authorization from the top leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise Akao Kanjo would not dare to speak to him like this.

Tian Shunroku had no choice but to keep the incident under the control of the army first, but his plan of secret investigation was disrupted by the old fox Akao Kanjo.

"Okay, if it is found that Major General Sakanishi was wrongly accused, our army reserves the right to pursue the case, even if it means bringing it to the Imperial Court."

Tian Shunroku made a final threat, but Akao Kanjo was not frightened. Instead, he politely made a gesture of invitation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not made of clay!
