Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 242: Akao was ordered to commit seppuku

Akao Hiroshi thought it made sense and asked, "Then you must know who the major arms dealers in Shanghai are, right? I hope you can tell me their names!"

"This..." Zhang Yaolin and the other two all looked embarrassed.

Akao Hiroichi's expression changed, and he asked, "Why? Are you all troubled by my request?"

Zhang Yaolin smiled bitterly and said, "Akao Taijun, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but we can't afford to offend these people. They all have powerful backers. These days, no one who can become a big arms dealer is an ordinary person!"

Akao Hiroichi sneered, "You're afraid of offending those big arms dealers, but you're not afraid of offending me?"

"No, no, Lady Akao, we absolutely dare not offend you...Okay, if you must know, we will tell you, but you must not say that it was us who said it!" Wu Liubao said hurriedly.

Akao Hiroichi waved his hand to the deputy captain of the action team, Nakano Ryoto, who was standing nearby. "Give each of them a piece of paper and a pen, and let them write!"

"Hi!"

Zhang Yaolin and others took pens and began to write the names of major arms dealers on papers.

They finished writing quickly and handed the list to Akao Hirokazu.

Akao Hiroichi took the lists written by the three people and started reading them. After reading the three lists, he found that there was a difference in the list written by Zhang Yaolin: "Hey, Zhang Sang, there is one more name on the list you wrote than the ones written by Ji Sang and Wu Sang!"

"Oh? Let me see." Zhang Yaolin took the three lists and compared them. He suddenly realized, "There's an extra name, Zhang Yunhe. This person is the comprador of Yihua Foreign Trade in the French Concession. This Yihua Foreign Trade used to deal in machinery and various parts, but I heard that in the past six months, their manager Jefferson and several members of the management have been secretly dealing in arms, and the main person handling this is the comprador Zhang Yunhe!"

"I don't know how they find buyers or how big the transaction volume is. They do it very covertly and there's rarely any news about it!"

Akao Hongyi looked at the names on the list with a flickering gaze. He then ordered the deputy captain of the action team, Nakano Ryoto, "Besides Zhang Yunhe, send someone to keep an eye on the other arms dealers on the list. I want to know where each of them is and what they're doing 24 hours a day!"

"Hi!" Nakano Ryoto took the list and stood at attention.

Akao Hongyi looked at Zhang Yaolin again and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you do me a favor and help me make an appointment with this Zhang Yunhe? I want to meet him!"

Zhang Yaolin asked doubtfully, "Akao Taijun, it's very simple for you to see Zhang Yunhe. You can just send someone to Yihua Foreign Trade Company to invite him over. Why go to so much trouble?"

Akao Hiroichi waved his hand. "No, no, no, it would be rude to do what you say. Besides, Yihua Foreign Trade is in the French Concession. If we use force, it will cause unnecessary trouble. This is a very simple matter, and we can't make the situation too complicated. Besides, we are here to make friends, not enemies. Do you understand?"

"That's true. How about we set the meeting place in the International Settlement?" Zhang Yaolin asked.

Akao Hiro nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say. Let me know when you've decided on the location and time!"

"Hi!"

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang: "Ding-ling-ling..."

Zhang Yaolin and the others immediately said upon seeing this: "Akao Taijun, if there is nothing else, we will leave first!"

"Okay, Nakano-kun, help me send them off!"

"Hi!"

After they left the office, Akao Hiroichi picked up the phone and said, "Moshimoshi!"

"Chief Akao, please ask Tanaka Daiei to come to the expeditionary force headquarters now. Mr. Matsui wants to see you!" A cold and ruthless voice came from the phone.

Akao Hiroichi shuddered and instinctively stood at attention: "Hi!"

After hanging up the phone in a daze, Hiroichi Akao took a long time to come to his senses. He knew that the moment that would decide his fate was about to come. It would be fine if he could pass this hurdle, but if he couldn't, he might be finished.

He picked up the phone and called Tanaka Daiei: "Tanaka-kun, put down your work and come with me to the expeditionary force headquarters, now!"

"Hi!"

When Tanaka Daiei came down from upstairs, Akao Hiroichi was already waiting in the car. He got in and waited until the car drove out of the Special High Technology Department before asking, "Section Chief, what's the matter with you going to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters this time?"

Akao Hiroichi sighed and said, "The case of the missing munitions ship remains unsolved. We've been given time limits repeatedly, but the case hasn't been solved yet. I suspect I'll be held accountable this time. If the headquarters lets me take the blame for the failure, then the Special High Technology Division will be handed over to you from now on!"

Tanaka Daiei said, "Chief, don't say such discouraging words. The Special High Technology Department can't do without you. If someone must take responsibility, I will take it!"

Akao Hiroichi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You can't take this responsibility. Do you think it's just because of this arms theft? There was also the theft of that huge amount of property that was shipped from various places to the dock for shipment back to the country. Someone also needs to take responsibility. Because of this incident, the adjutant in charge of this matter at the headquarters was dismissed and transferred to the front lines!"

"But this hasn't quelled the wrath of those high-ranking officials back home. The theft at the dock was originally under investigation by the Military Police Headquarters, with Major Doi directly responsible. But I don't know which high-ranking official this guy has hooked up with, and he's not taking responsibility, but the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters is making me take the blame!"

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Daiei angrily said, "They're so bullying. The case that was originally in charge of Doi has not made any progress. Shouldn't Doi be held responsible? Why should you take the blame?"

The two soon arrived at the expeditionary force headquarters and walked into a conference room under the guidance of a staff adjutant.

"Wait here, the Commander will be here soon!"

About ten minutes later, Matsui, Tsukada and Military Police Commander Kento Yamazaki walked into the meeting room one after another.

Akao Koichi and Tanaka Daiei immediately stood up and saluted.

The three high-ranking officials walked to the conference table and sat down according to their positions. Matsui looked at Akao Koichi and Tanaka Daiei and asked, "Section Chief Akao-kun, how is the investigation into the missing arms case and the large theft at the docks going? Any progress?"

Without waiting for Akao Hiroichi to respond, Tanaka Daiei replied, "Commander, we are investigating day and night. Please give us some more time!"

"Bang!" Matsui slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Did I ask you? Shut up! It's been over a month since the incident, and I've given you several extensions of time, but you still haven't made any progress. Are you slacking off, or are you all good-for-nothings?"

Akao Hiroichi and Tanaka Daiei didn't dare to breathe at this time, Matsui's power was too great.

Matsui pointed at Akao Hiroshi and angrily said, "Tell me how many things have happened since you took over the Special High Technology Division. They are all due to the department's incompetence. There are spies within the department, and they haven't been found yet. On the contrary, the department has repeatedly lost elite soldiers and generals. How can you be the head of the Special High Technology Division?"

"Hey, it's my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, Commander!" Akao Hiroichi stood at attention and lowered his head.

Matsui scolded again, "Are you incompetent? I think you're derelict in your duty. It's only been a few months, and almost everyone in the Special High Section has died, except for a few of you key leaders. As a section chief, you must commit seppuku to atone for your sins!"

"Go back and end it yourself. It will save your dignity and give you an explanation to everyone!"
