Living in the Republic of China era, from undercover agent to immortality

.........

Three days later, Li Changfeng returned to Shanghai with Harada Ichiro.

The two met the Japanese general, Doiyuu, at the embassy in the foreign concession.

"Taro, you're finally back alive."

"The encirclement and suppression plan failed, Nakamura Shiro was killed in action, and the Second Brigade suffered heavy losses."

"Your sister also perished for the Empire; it's truly heartbreaking..."

Doi-Yuan looked at his eldest son, Harada Ichiro, and said while patting his head.

Harada Ichiro's eyes immediately reddened, and he bowed slightly.

"Old man, it was Mr. Takeuchi who saved me!"

"When we were suppressing the National Salvation Army, the Second Brigade Command was attacked."

"It was Mr. Takeuchi who covered my escape..."

Harada Ichiro looked at Li Changfeng with a grateful expression.

Li Changfeng sighed inwardly; this little Japanese devil was a better actor than he was.

In Nanjing, they even managed to deceive the Japanese commander, Noda.

Now he's trying to curry favor with his own father.

"Yoshi, Mr. Takeuchi is truly a loyal subject of the empire."

"Qiu Zi will take you to Jinling, where you will encounter many dangers along the way."

"I never expected you to save Jiro. That's quite a surprise."

Upon hearing Harada Ichiro's words, the Japanese general Doi Madoka walked over and nodded slightly.

Li Changfeng immediately bowed, his head bowed in shame.

"General, the defection plan has failed, and Miss Akiko has also perished."

"I saved Ichiro by accident."

"I don't seek merit, I only seek to avoid mistakes!"

Li Changfeng said very seriously.

The Japanese invasion failed this time, but only severely damaged the National Salvation Army and the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hurricane Team.

However, two regiments of them were wiped out by the Dragon King Independent Division.

The Japanese emperor was furious and summoned Commander Noda of Nanjing to his headquarters to be questioned.

Even though Tu Feiyuan, this old Japanese devil, was highly experienced, he couldn't escape a scolding.

“Takeuchi-kun, I’ll still call you Li-san.”

"Li-san, I admire you very much."

"The defection plan was perfect, but there was a mistake in its execution."

"No one expected that the National Salvation Army would actually bring in reinforcements."

"It disrupted our encirclement and suppression plan."

"You did nothing wrong, I was the one who was wrong..."

The Japanese general, Doi-Yuan, turned to look out the window and frowned as he spoke.

This wouldn't have happened if the Second Brigade hadn't performed poorly in combat.

"Li-san, I will recommend to the Special Higher Police that you be appointed as the deputy director of the 76th Division."

"At the same time, he officially joined the military police and was promoted to head of the investigation section."

"Your task is to monitor Dingshi Village and conduct an internal investigation of the military police."

"I will have Taro cooperate with you to purge the traitors hiding within the empire."

A few minutes later, the Japanese general, Doi-man, patted Li Changfeng on the shoulder and said...

Harada Ichiro bowed slightly, acknowledging Li Changfeng's identity.

"Taro, Araki Ryuichi of the White Mansion has been assassinated."

"I have already recommended that you take over from him and take charge of the Bai Mansion."

"I hope you will work closely with General Kagesa."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doiyuu turned to Harada Ichiro beside him and said something else.

Harada Ichiro was immediately overjoyed.

Although Araki Ryuichi held the rank of major, he was a trusted confidant of the Ume Agency.

In that case, I will become one of the empire's elite.

"Hayi!"

"Thank you, General."

The two of them bent down at the same time, both feeling a surge of excitement.

Li Changfeng never expected that he would be promoted again so soon after returning to Shanghai.

..........

The following day, at the headquarters of Agent 76.

In the conference room on the third floor, several department heads were having a meeting.

Seeing the grim expressions on Ding Shicun and the others' faces, Li Changfeng was secretly delighted.

"The Japanese have agreed to Mr. Zhou Fohai's suggestion."

"Let Director Li Changfeng serve as Deputy Director No. 76."

"Ye Xingcheng is in charge of the intelligence department's work."

"Congratulations, everyone, to Deputy Director Li..."

Ding Shicun stood up, leaning on his cane, and said.

During this period, he was attacked several times and even broke his leg.

He looked rather disheveled at that moment.

"Clap clap clap!"

Everyone applauded, and Li Changfeng stood up and nodded slightly to them.

He glanced at the newcomer Ye Xingcheng, having heard that this guy had some connections.

His older sister had just married Ding Shicun and become his fifth concubine.

It seems Ding Shicun had made arrangements beforehand; regardless of whether he returned or not, the intelligence chief was his brother-in-law.

"Cough cough......"

"Next, I'll talk about something very important."

"The Imperial Army recruited an important member of an intelligence station in Shanghai."

"According to the information he provided, someone was carrying a top-secret intelligence document and was going to travel from Shanghai to Chongqing."

"Now everyone is cooperating with the Special Higher Police to seal off the docks, ports, and train stations."

"We must find this person."

"Deputy Director Li, you're leading the team this time..."

As the applause subsided, Ding Shicun coughed twice and then spoke in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately stood up.

"Yes, Director."

This old guy, as soon as he got back, ordered me to lead a group to arrest anti-Japanese elements.

This mission seems to be quite special.

"Director Ye, Director Bi, assemble the team immediately."

"Prepare for action."

Without hesitation, Li Changfeng immediately gave instructions to the two directors of the Intelligence Division and the Action Division.

The two nodded and immediately headed downstairs.

Squad leader Chen Shen nodded slightly to Li Changfeng and followed him.

Li Changfeng walked to the window and glanced out, only to find that over a thousand people had quickly gathered in the courtyard.

He looked at Dingshi Village and was slightly startled.

"Director Ding, do we have this many brothers in our 76th Division now?"

Ding Shicun smiled and pointed to the dozen or so teams in the courtyard.

"After Deputy Director Li went to Nanjing, No. 76 underwent a full-scale expansion."

"The Operations Division now has eight battalions, and the Intelligence Division has four battalions."

"Including the logistics department, general affairs department, and confidential affairs department, there are nearly two thousand people."

"This old man is almost too busy to handle everything; it'll be your turn, young people, from now on..."

Ding Shicun shook his head, but a hint of smugness appeared on his lips.

During the month that Li Changfeng was away, No. 76 took over several of the Green Gang's docks.

Even the Axe Gang and some smaller gangs were wiped out.

Taking advantage of the situation, Dingshi Village expanded its organization, recruiting many people into No. 76.

This is something the Japanese greatly appreciate.

"Director Ding, you're too kind."

"I'm going to carry out my mission first, we'll have drinks together tonight."

As Li Changfeng spoke, he waved his hand and walked downstairs.

Ding Shicun's eyes turned cold, and he walked into his office.

In the office, an old man in his fifties was wearing a long robe and had a pipe in his mouth.

Upon seeing Ding Shicun enter, he immediately tapped on the table.

“Ding Shi Village, this Li Changfeng is no ordinary person.”

"General Doi-ma personally recommended him to become the head of the Military Police Investigation Section, replacing Akiko Harada."

"I heard that he made a contribution in Nanjing and gained the appreciation of the Japanese."

"Don't underestimate him..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shicun slammed his hand on the table.

Just snorted coldly.

"Hmph, a mere brat, trying to ride on my head and shit on me."

"He was lucky he didn't get killed last time."

With that, she stormed out of the office.
