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

The method of killing Sakanishi cannot be a method that can be found out at this time. It can only be death "due to illness", and it cannot even be any "accident" that Ma Liang is good at.

Modern radioactive materials are very suitable at this time, which is different from the modern ones that can be easily detected.

People during World War II did not have a correct understanding of the dangers of radiation, and even thought that radiation was a good thing that could replenish human energy.

A man named William Bailey, he was a self-taught chemist and a businessman.

Bailey used various media to publicize the magical effects of his radium water. He claimed that radium water could cure cancer, diabetes, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, etc., and even prolong life.

Eben Byers was a rich second-generation, his father was a steel tycoon, and he believed it.

In three years, he drank more than 1400 bottles of radium water, which is equivalent to 1.4 mg of radium.

One day in 1932, his jaw fell off and his ribs softened and melted one by one until they disappeared. His body was still warm 30 years after his death.

Major General Sakanishi was also the first person in this parallel world to die from radiation.

In the office of Junroku Tanaka at the Japanese Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Doi-maru is reporting on the leak of secrets by Major General Sakanishi.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, from what we know so far, Major General Sakanishi is indeed suspected of leaking secrets. All evidence points to Major General Sakanishi, but Major General Sakanishi died of acute leukemia at this critical juncture before he could explain the details of the leak. I think there are still many questions involved and we cannot rush to close the case now."

Tian Junliu did not express his opinion, but flipped through the detailed report submitted by Tu Feiyuan. After a moment of silence, he asked:

"What did the medical examiner who performed the autopsy say?"

"According to the joint autopsy conducted by several senior forensic doctors, Major General Sakanishi did die from complications caused by leukemia," said Doi Madoka.

Hearing this result, Tian Junliu closed the report in front of him tightly, pressed it with one hand, and said lightly:

"Let's just close the case!"

"But there are still mysteries. There may be something deeper hidden within us..."

"I say, that's enough!" Tian Junliu said again with a heavier tone.

Now Feiyuan also understood what Tian Junliu meant. This case of traitor had made everyone in the expeditionary army panic-stricken from the battle in Hankou to now.

In particular, they were unable to obtain a detailed confession from Major General Sakanishi and were unable to accurately eliminate the traitors within the expeditionary force. To be safe, they had no choice but to expand the scope of the purge.

In addition, in order to save face, the army did not announce to the public internally or externally that Major General Sakanishi was a traitor. Such a large-scale, groundless purge had shaken the morale of the army.

If we don't close the case now and continue investigating, I'm afraid the answer will not be as simple as just shaking the morale of the military.

It can be said that neither Tian Junliu nor Doiyuan was wrong, it’s just that the two of them considered the issue from different angles.

Doiyori is considering it from the perspective of ensuring internal purity and safety, while Tian Shunroku is considering it from the perspective of the overall situation.

The internal leak case of the Japanese Army Expeditionary Force was solved, and everyone in the Japanese army breathed a sigh of relief.

While the army was frowning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was celebrating. The top brass gained political benefits, and the meritorious people below were promoted and made a fortune.

Because Consul General Akao Kanjo made great contributions in this incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already spread the rumor that Consul General Akao Kanjo will be transferred back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve as Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs at the end of the year and enter the core decision-making level of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It was clearly hinted that Shinichi Iwai would serve as Consul General in Shanghai after Consul General Kanjo Akao left office, and would also serve as Deputy Director of the Asia-Pacific Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' intelligence work in the Asia-Pacific region.

Shinichi Iwai, who was in high spirits, immediately promoted Yuan Shu, who was still in the probation period but had helped him get promoted, to the position of general manager of internal and external affairs of Shinichi Iwai's mansion.

Even the young agent Shinichi Kudo, who had just graduated but had outstanding performance, was promoted by Shinichi Iwai to be the team leader of the action team.

Ma Liang also met Iwai Shinichi in a hotel box in the concession according to the contact information.

"Mr. Yamagami, you are the most loyal citizen of the empire. This is the one hundred thousand U.S. dollars I promised you!" Iwai Shinichi handed a brown paper bag full of U.S. dollars to Ma Liang, and then began to observe Ma Liang's reaction carefully and silently.

Ma Liang immediately swept the leather bag full of US dollars in front of him, squeezed it carefully with his hands, opened the bag and took a sneak peek, and his face immediately broke into a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Iwai for your kindness! It is my honor to serve the Empire!"

Ma Liang said this, but he held the leather bag tightly in his hands, looking like he was ready to fight anyone who tried to snatch it.

Seeing Ma Liang's attitude of valuing money more than his life, Iwai Shinichi felt contempt for him, but at the same time, he further relaxed his guard against Ma Liang.

"So it's really all about money! As long as you love money, it's fine!"

Then he took out a letter of authorization and two hundred U.S. dollars in cash from his briefcase and placed them on the table.

"Mr. Iwai, what do you mean?" Ma Liang asked.

"Mr. Yamagami, on behalf of the Asia-Pacific Bureau of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I appoint you as a deputy section-level special intelligence agent, codenamed Male Gun. Here is your letter of appointment!" Iwai Shinichi solemnly handed a letter of appointment with the official seal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Ma Liang.

"It is my honor to serve the empire!" Ma Liang also solemnly took it with both hands.

After taking the letter of appointment and looking at it, Ma Liang asked awkwardly:

"Mr. Iwai, I wonder how the intelligence fee is calculated?"

"Hahaha····"

Iwai Shinichi laughed loudly and said proudly:

"The Empire will not treat meritorious officials unfairly. Your monthly intelligence fee is 200 US dollars. If you provide important intelligence, there is no upper limit depending on the value of the intelligence! Mr. Yamagami, cherish this opportunity to make a fortune!"

Ma Liang's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked anxiously:

"Is there really no limit to the limit?"

"Of course! As long as the intelligence is valuable enough, the Empire can afford it even one million US dollars!" Iwai Shinichi stated confidently.

After the meeting, the two left one after another.

However, Ma Liang smiled and said in a place where no one was around:

"Male Gun? This code name is really interesting! Don't they know the Japanese server's Male Gun, who specializes in backstabs?" The No. 1 Male Gun in the Japanese server (This picture is from the Internet, infringement will be deleted) On the surface, it is an American-funded commercial company in the British and American Concession, but in fact it is an important stronghold of the Asia-Pacific Branch of the United States Strategic Intelligence Agency.

Colonel Johnson, who was promoted to the rank of colonel three months ago for providing the communication code of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as the deputy director of the Asia-Pacific Bureau of the American Strategic Intelligence Community and was fully responsible for Chinese intelligence, was bragging to his subordinates in the office.
