The War of Resistance: My Expedition, My Country

The next morning, Chen Kun indeed came to the Security Command Headquarters and asked to see translator Liang.

Translator Liang hadn't slept well the previous night, racking his brains but unable to find a solution. In reality, Liang had, through some means, already obtained the details of the Japanese army's sweep of northern Burma before Matsui had even mentioned them. He had originally planned to pass the intelligence on to the action team after eliminating the traitor Chen Kun, thus reducing the number of intermediate links and minimizing the risk of leaks.

Matsui's casual mention of this plan made him hesitate. Although he knew it was Matsui's conspiracy, a test for him, this information was related to the survival of the guerrilla column in northern Burma. Translator Liang had already made up his mind: no matter what, he must pass on the information!

Although Liang was puzzled by Chen Kun's purpose in meeting him, he could not refuse, so he met with Chen Kun in his office. Upon seeing Liang, Chen Kun was immediately filled with compliments and warmly congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Liang, on officially joining the Imperial Japanese Army and being promoted to captain. You are our idol!"

Liang didn't understand why, and didn't want to say much, so he waved his hand and said, "President Chen, you must be mistaken. You are the headquarters' favorite. This time, President Chen was the biggest contributor to the crackdown on the underground organization of the guerrillas in northeastern Myanmar."

Chen Kun quickly said, "I'm so ashamed. I only did a small thing. How dare I compare myself to the translator? The translator has the trust of Commander Matsui. I need the translator's guidance and support in the future!"

Liang didn't want to waste time with the traitor, so he said seriously, "President Chen came to see me just because of this, right?!"

Chen Kun quickly explained his purpose. It turned out that he wanted to treat Interpreter Liang to a meal and had already booked room 888 at the Royal Court Hotel, the best hotel in Lashio. This time, he had come to invite Interpreter Liang to attend.

Liang understood Chen Kun's purpose and quickly refused: "The headquarters has a special mission tonight and I can't leave. I appreciate President Chen's kindness. Let's do it next time!" After saying this, Liang seemed to ask Chen Kun to leave.

However, Chen Kun did not leave. Instead, he quietly closed the door, took out a gift box from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the translator Liang, asking for his guidance in the future.

Liang saw it was a Swiss watch, and judging by the densely packed gemstones, he knew it was worth a fortune. He wondered how many people Chen Kun had harmed under the pretext of investigating the underground! Liang felt sick and refused Chen Kun's offer, citing work as an excuse.

Seeing that Interpreter Liang didn't seem to be pretending, Chen Kun put his watch back into his pocket and prepared to leave. As he reached the door and was about to open it, Chen Kun turned mysteriously and asked softly, "Interpreter Liang, could this special mission from headquarters tonight be related to the recent raid in northern Myanmar?"

Liang was shocked. How did he know this? Then he quickly recovered his composure and asked calmly, "Where did you get this information? This is confidential!"

Seeing Liang's expression, Chen Kun thought he had guessed the news correctly and quickly whispered, "Section Chief Jiushan told me, but he didn't know the specifics either. That's why he asked me to come to you to inquire so that he could arrange the operation in advance."

Liang instantly understood Chen Kun's purpose in coming to see him. Clearly, he had been tricked by Hatoyama into visiting him. After understanding the reason, Liang immediately said to him sternly, "Nonsense! How could I possibly know something that even Section Chief Hatoyama doesn't know? What are you thinking?! If I didn't know you defected from there, I would have immediately notified the military police to arrest you!"

Chen Kun certainly didn't believe that Interpreter Liang would notify the military police to arrest him. His eyes showed a look of understanding, and he bent down and said, "Interpreter, you are busy, I will not disturb you. Let's make an appointment next time!" Then he opened the door and left!

After Chen Kun left, Liang immediately thought of a way to kill the traitor in one fell swoop while also passing on the information without exposing himself. Liang quickly wrote the details on a piece of paper and was about to pass it on to the Chamber of Commerce president. As soon as he reached the door, he heard the voice of Chamber of Commerce President Du. Liang exclaimed happily, "Effortless!"

Du Yiming received a call early in the morning from Kobayashi Seiichi, the head of the headquarters' transportation department, asking him to come to the headquarters to verify the ore transportation accounts. Du Yiming knew that this was Kobayashi's usual tactic. This guy, a former big board merchant, was looking for an opportunity to blackmail him.

At this moment, President Du and Kobayashi were arguing over the discrepancies between the mineral data. This was a common occurrence, and the two often quarreled over it. Kobayashi Seiichi was very smart, and every time he met with President Du, he would open the office door, so that people around them could hear what they were saying, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble!

Liang hurried over and said to the two of them, "You two, your constant bickering is affecting everyone's work and damaging the headquarters' image. Mr. Kobayashi, I suggest that next time you conduct your research behind closed doors. If you have any questions, let's use data!"

Although Kobayashi Seiichi was a major, Liang's translator had a special status, so Kobayashi could not refuse. He quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Liang. We will pay attention next time."

Seeing Liang approach suddenly, President Du immediately understood that he must have urgent information to pass on. He casually handed Liang a gift, claiming it was the tea he had promised Liang, the translator, at a previous dinner. Liang quickly declined. Du enthusiastically insisted. Liang feigned reluctance, but unwilling to embarrass President Du, he pulled money from his pocket and insisted on paying him. Du, of course, refused. Liang said, "If President Du won't accept the money, please take the tea back!" President Du had no choice but to accept Liang's money.

After checking the accounts with Xiaolin Qingyi and being extorted by him, Du Yiming pretended to be angry and left the headquarters and returned to the garrison restaurant. From the money given by Liang, he found information about Liang and quickly found his assistant, asking him to contact Tang Xuesi immediately and act according to the plan of Liang's translator.

That night, in room 888 of the Royal Court Hotel, Chen Kun sat with his concubine and several of his closest subordinates, drinking and chatting. The feast had originally been meant for translator Liang, but he couldn't make it, and the feast couldn't be wasted, so Chen Kun arranged for his closest associates to join him.

Outside the door, Liu Ruihui, disguised as a food deliveryman, knocked gently on the door and said softly, "Boss, the mandarin duck fish you ordered is ready!"

The bodyguard inside pretended to open the door, but seeing only Liu Ruihui, who was carrying a large pot, he ignored it and opened the door, allowing Liu Ruihui to carry the pot in...
