Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Itai Yudai and Nakagawa Ken were immersed in Zhou Zhengqing's words, and their thoughts seemed to be caught in a storm that was about to cause huge waves.

Putting out his cigarette butt heavily in the ashtray, Zhou Zhengqing slowly continued, "After receiving the request from the Kwantung Army, our Military Police Headquarters quickly began intelligence gathering.

With the help of the trading company opened by Xu Sang in Nanjing, key information was successfully obtained.

That was the source of the leak of intelligence about this major empire military operation, from the top brass of the North China Garrison Army!"

At this point, Zhou Zhengqing grinned slightly, with a hint of cunning and confidence in his smile, and also seemed to carry some anticipation for the upcoming plan.

He looked directly at Itai Yudai, as if testing him and reminding him, and asked slowly, "Do you understand, Itai-kun?"

When Itai Yudai heard this, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, as if he was swallowing something.

How could I not understand this? He even explained it to me in such detail!

How could I not understand!

I don't know where the general got such detailed information...

He raised his head cautiously, his eyes flickering with hesitation and uneasiness, and asked carefully with a slightly trembling voice, "General, you...you mean that the Nanjing government of China is not aware of this information.

You want me to do it, and then cleverly pin the blame on the garrison troops, on Kazuki Seiji and the garrison's high-ranking officials?!

This... This might be a little difficult!"

Itai Yudai's eyes began to become vague, and his face showed a mixture of excitement and hesitation, which was very exciting.

"Yo, Banjing-kun is really smart. Why, now you don't even dare to try this little challenge?" Zhou Zhengqing stretched out his hand and patted Banjing Yuda's shoulder heavily. With a half-smile on his face and a hint of expectation in his eyes, he asked with a smile.

"It's not that I don't dare, it's just... this matter involves too many things, I'm afraid no one will believe it?" Itai Yudai raised his head slightly, still with hesitation in his eyes.

"Haha, you are wrong. The top management will definitely believe it because Xiangyue Qingji has a convincing motive." Zhou Zhengqing sneered coldly, and there was confidence in his laughter as if he had already seen through everything.

"What's the motive? Doesn't Kazuki Seiji want the empire to succeed in Shanghai?" Itai Yudai frowned.

"Success is an inevitable result. There is a huge gap between China's military strength and the empire. Even if they use human lives to fight the empire, the final result can only be failure." Zhou Zhengqing looked into the distance, as if he saw the smoke of war.

"The empire's military is at its peak now. Shanghai seems to be a solid defense line, but in fact there are huge hidden dangers. It cannot withstand the empire's attack." Zhou Zhengqing turned slightly, looked at Itai Yudai again, and began to explain in detail.

"However, once the Chinese are prepared and mobilize a large force, although they cannot directly stop the Empire's advance, the Empire will inevitably have to pay a heavy price if it wants to achieve ultimate victory."

After a slight pause, as if giving Itai Yudai enough time to think, Zhou Zhengqing continued, "As for Kazuki Seiji's motive, it's much simpler.

His ambitions have not been fully satisfied yet, he longs to become the commander of the North China Expeditionary Force! This position carries all his ambitions and expectations.

Therefore, he had enough motivation to delay the empire's strategic deployment, so that the achievement of occupying Peking and Tianjin would last longer, making this achievement more dazzling and adding more weight to his own acquisition of a high position.

After the Shanghai Expeditionary Force was established, if it could quickly achieve victory, then his contribution would no longer be valued due to the time disadvantage and the combined influence of other factors.

This would have a huge negative impact on his future career development, so the empire's defeat in Shanghai was exactly the result he most wanted to see in his heart."

As Zhou Zhengqing explained the complex relationships layer by layer clearly, Itai Yudai's originally hesitant expression gradually changed, and a look of excitement began to spread across his face.

However, there was still a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if some key factors were preventing him from making up his mind completely.

Zhou Zhengqing frowned upon seeing this and sternly shouted, "Itai-kun, why are you becoming more and more timid? Back when you were dealing with Doihara, you were always ready to bury him. Where did that ruthlessness go?

Why are you so hesitant now? Have these few months of comfortable living worn away your edge?

"I..." Itai Yudai opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he could only utter one word and no more.

His heart was like a mixture of various emotions, all mixed together, and he complained madly: "I'm timid? Do I have it easy? How can I not be a timid person?

Every time I do a little more, you, General, will scold me.

Now, I have concerns! General, you think I am timid again! Oh... I am in such a difficult situation! "

"Be alert and don't be hesitant when doing things. We are military police, the elite of the empire. What are we afraid of? I will be responsible for anything that goes wrong!" Zhou Zhengqing's voice became louder, and his eyes revealed a firmness that could not be refuted.

When Itai Yudai heard Zhou Zhengqing's words, his originally flickering eyes suddenly lit up!

He stood up suddenly and bowed with standard etiquette: "General, rest assured, I know what to do. I will do my best to live up to your expectations!"

"Yoshi! Very good, I'll wait for your good news." Zhou Zhengqing nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

I thought to myself that it was indeed easier to use the lawless Itai Yudai. Although this guy sometimes did things that were a headache, he could often produce unexpected results at critical moments.

For example, something like throwing dirty water on one's own people can only be done by Itai Yudai, Zhou Zhengqing doesn't trust anyone else.

"When does the general plan to take action?" asked Itai Yudai impatiently.

"There's no rush. First, communicate fully with Nanjing through Xu Zhongyi." Zhou Zhengqing's eyes sparkled as he urged, "It would be best if we could strike the Empire head-on in Shanghai, catching them off guard.

By then, both the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and the Imperial leadership will need an explanation and justification. That will be the perfect time for us to launch our attack. Now, let Kazuki Seiji have a few more days to run amok."

As Zhou Zhengqing finished speaking, the room fell into silence, with only the breathing of a few people echoing softly in the air.

The sunlight from outside shone through the window onto Zhou Zhengqing and the other two people in the office, but it could not dispel the strong smell of conspiracy in the room.

Of course, among the three, Ken Nakagawa, who was staring blankly at the navy-supplied cigarettes on the coffee table, thinking about how to get the general to give him another one, was just a quiet atmosphere creator.
