Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

"Who else knows this information? I'm talking about the people on our side." Zhou Zhengqing was still buried in the documents on the desk, his voice low and restrained.

Nanzō Yunko bowed slightly, folding her hands in front of her stomach and said, "The spy intelligence team that has direct contact with Huang Jun and Huang Sheng is the one I personally formed.

According to intelligence transmission procedures, this 'River Defense Plan' should only have passed through me." She paused, her slender fingers unconsciously stroking the cuffs of her military uniform. "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"When the father and son were being instigated to rebel, His Excellency Suma Yakichiro, the Consul General in Nanjing, was personally involved."

Nanzō Yunko raised her eyes to observe Zhou Zhengqing's reaction. "What's even more troublesome is that my spies in the Huang Mansion have repeatedly reported that Huang Jun and his son have been maintaining secret contacts with Consul Suma."

Nanzō Yunko bit her lip lightly. “So, I can’t be 100% sure about the exclusivity of this information.”

"Suma Yakichiro..." Zhou Zhengqing slowly ground the name between his teeth.

The clock in the office ticked dully, and the shadows of the sycamore trees outside the window swayed on the blinds.

Nanzō Yunko took a half step forward: “At this moment, it is impossible to confirm whether Consul Suma has obtained the information.

But based on the way Huang Jun and his son Huang Sheng acted... ” She chose her words carefully: “If the Empire doesn’t take any action before the plan is implemented, they will definitely contact Consul Suma to verify it.”

She took out a file from her bosom and gently spread it out on the desk.

In the photo, Huang Sheng is talking to an unidentified person at the Jinling Hotel.

"Both father and son are extremely greedy. They risked their lives to steal such important intelligence, hoping for the empire's generous reward."

Nanzō Yunko's nails unconsciously scratched across Huang Sheng's flattering smile in the photo: "If there's no response..."

"Yun Zi, are you worried... that if I suppress this information, it will implicate you?" Zhou Zhengqing finally raised his head.

Nanzō Yunko bit her rosy lips unconsciously, leaving a shallow tooth mark on her plump lower lip.

She was silent for a moment before she spoke softly, "General, please understand.

"I know you're planning to use the Marines in Hongkou, Shanghai, as bait..." Her voice trailed off. "If the Yangtze River Fleet receives warning and withdraws early to reinforce Hongkou, it will inevitably disrupt the Chinese army's encirclement and annihilation plan."

As she spoke, Nanzō Yunko raised her hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white wrist. "So, after receiving this river defense intelligence, I came straight to see you without notifying anyone."

She suddenly raised her eyelids, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes: "If...if the general is determined to do so, I can immediately arrange for the intelligence team in Nanjing to eliminate Huang Jun and Huang Sheng.

Use the cleanest way to seal it and ensure that the Chinese army's combat plan is not interfered with."

Zhou Zhengqing's eyes flashed with a smile, as if he had seen something funny: "What if the operation fails? Or..." He suddenly leaned forward: "Has Consul Suma received the information?

You sent people to assassinate Huang Jun and Huang Sheng, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Nanzō Yunko shuddered all over, and her exquisite makeup couldn't hide her instantly pale face. Her knees softened and she fell heavily to her knees on the wooden floor.

"Yunzi...I am willing to die for the general." She lowered her body, her forehead almost touching the ground: "As long as I can help the general achieve his great cause, Yunzi is willing to bear all the consequences."

"Great cause? Hehehe..."

Zhou Zhengqing's laughter sounded particularly harsh in the office, and there was a hint of sarcasm and coldness in it.

He slowly stood up and walked in front of Nanzō Yunko, looking down at her condescendingly: "Yunko, you are indeed too smart, and... very naughty."

Nanzō Yunzi shuddered upon hearing this, and when she raised her head, she looked hesitant. "Master, please understand! Yunzi has absolutely no second thoughts about you!" Her voice choked with sobs. "Even if...even if I have to sacrifice my life for this, Yunzi is willing..."

Zhou Zhengqing waved his hand impatiently, motioning her to stand up. He rubbed his temples and suddenly changed the subject: "Have you been close to Itai Yudai recently?"

Nanzō Yunko's body, which had just stood up straight, stiffened noticeably for a moment.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her face, and she did not answer for a long time.

"The intelligence Yoshida Yuto sends every day..." Zhou Zhengqing sneered, "I guess you've already gotten it out of that idiot, right?"

Zhou Zhengqing turned abruptly, his boots thumping against the floor. "You know my original plan isn't working, so you're rushing to show your loyalty?"

The desk lamp stretched Zhou Zhengqing's shadow very long, almost completely covering Nanzō Yunko.

"Are you thinking..." Zhou Zhengqing's voice suddenly softened, but it became even more dangerous. "Since the Chinese army can't capture Hongkou anyway, I certainly wouldn't be willing to give up such a capable subordinate like you for an insignificant Yangtze River Fleet? Right?"

"Yunzi doesn't dare!" Nanzō Yunzi's knees softened and she fell to the ground again.

Zhou Zhengqing ignored her panic and continued in a cold voice, "The two thousand marines that Hasegawa Kiyoshi transferred from Qingdao have arrived, and another two thousand sailors drawn from the warships of the Third Fleet are reinforcing Hongkou..."

With each number he mentioned, he took a step forward: "And there are those 3,600 soldiers in the countryside who serve as cannon fodder, and more than 5,000 elderly, weak, women, and children overseas Chinese who take the bullets..."

He suddenly pinched Nanzō Yunko's chin and forced her to look up: "Hongkou's defenses are no longer something the Chinese army can easily break through. Not to mention..."

Zhou Zhengqing brushed his thumb across her lips. "Two divisions of the Kwantung Army have already passed Tianjin and will reach Shanghai in two days."

Nanzō Yunko's pupils contracted violently, and her lipstick-coated lips trembled slightly between Zhou Zhengqing's fingers.

"So..." Zhou Zhengqing suddenly let go of his hand and turned to the window. "Even if we let go of those broken ships of the Yangtze River Fleet and the 500 Marines in Wuhan, what will happen?"

With his back to Nanzō Yunko, Zhou Zhengqing's voice was filled with a hint of amusement: "Am I right, Yunko?"

Upon hearing this, Nanzō Yunko suddenly looked up, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and then turned into a pitiful look: "Master... Yunko really didn't think so much..." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and the ending tone trembled slightly.
