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

........

The following day, the Zero frigate replenished its supplies at Port No. 2.

Wu Yong, the head of Operation 76, personally led a team to deliver a large amount of food, water, and some military supplies onto the ship.

Then, along with an action team, they were assigned to guard the perimeter of the ship.

Because the high seas had just been through a major battle and were not safe at that time.

Li Changfeng discovered that the box he had thrown overboard had been brought back aboard by Wu Yong, the head of Operations No. 76.

This guy's identity is probably not simple either.

Eight o'clock in the morning, in the ship's cabin conference room.

“Takeuchi-kun, Miss Gu and the others haven’t rested for a day and a night.”

"Sakita-kun's group doesn't seem nervous; they've only done some preliminary calculations."

"I heard you made a bet with Inukai-kun, and it seems you have a good chance of winning."

"Can you tell me why this is?"

Early in the morning, the Japanese advisor Fujita held a cup of coffee.

Li Changfeng and I sat at a table in the corner of the conference room.

He asked while looking at the deck outside the conference room.

There is a large window in this corner, which faces the stairs to the cabin.

Outside the stairs, you can see several birds calling in the sky above the sea.

Li Changfeng glanced at the sky outside and smiled slightly.

“Mr. Fujita, I know that Mr. Saita and his team disassembled the second-generation cipher machine as early as half a month ago.”

"We also developed a preliminary second-generation cipher machine model, but that's not important."

"According to reliable sources, the Allied forces have activated a third-generation cipher machine with multiple layers of encryption."

"Qida and his team are just imitating; it doesn't mean they've cracked the second-generation cipher machine."

"But I believe that Miss Gu can definitely crack the second-generation cipher machine, and even create a new third-generation cipher machine."

"Qida and his companions are like those birds outside; they simply cannot comprehend the power of this ship."

"Only true geniuses can lead the progress of the times."

"This is my confidence..."

Li Changfeng pointed to the birds outside the cabin and said in a serious tone.

On this ship, no secret could escape Li Changfeng's eyes and ears.

How could he not know what those Japanese cryptography experts were doing in private?

According to the plot, only Gu Xiaomeng can crack the second-generation cipher machine and even assemble the third-generation cipher machine.

The third-generation cipher machine was what the Japanese general, Kageyama Yoshiaki, truly needed.

"Yoshi, Takeuchi-kun's information is very accurate."

"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would hardly believe that this was your judgment."

"It seems that General Kagesa did not hide anything from you about Project Zero."

Fujita Yoshimasa looked at Li Changfeng, his expression changing slightly.

Then, glancing around, he said somewhat nervously.

Developing three generations of cipher machines was indeed their ultimate goal.

Only those who have seen Project Zero know about this.

It seems that this guy has already gained General Kagesa's trust.

"Of course, I am a special envoy appointed by His Majesty the Emperor."

"Project Zero must be completed under my supervision."

“I have the right to know the progress of the research, and that’s not difficult for me.”

"........."

Li Changfeng sipped his coffee and spoke calmly.

He wanted to create an air of mystery and make Fujita Yoshimasa look at him with new respect.

Only then can we help Gu Xiaomeng complete the final plan.

If you pretend you know nothing, you'll only arouse suspicion.

"Very well, then let's wait and see."

"If Miss Gu can really assemble the third-generation cipher machine, I will make Inukai admit defeat."

“Count me in his bet too…”

Fujita Yoshimasa thought for a moment, then stood up and said.

Then he waved to Waseda, the squad leader beside him.

"Waseda Captain, prepare some food and water for them."

"Everyone is required to take a two-hour break, and these two hours will not be counted within the 168-hour period."

"Get it done immediately..."

Squad leader Waseda nodded slightly and walked out very respectfully.

Li Changfeng glanced at Gu Xiaomeng and the others.

A large amount of draft paper had already piled up in front of this woman, and it was being sent to the confidential room in batches.

Li Zhongliang had already disassembled the cipher machine, while Fang Xiaojing was drawing diagrams.

Gu Xiaomeng was pale and coughing incessantly; she seemed to be in poor condition.

But he still held a pencil, constantly calculating on the draft paper...

"Go and call the doctor to take a look at Miss Gu."

"Her health isn't very good; we shouldn't let it affect the research progress."

Li Changfeng finished his coffee and walked over to a Japanese spy from the Mei Agency.

Upon hearing Li Changfeng's words, the Japanese spy immediately bowed slightly.

"Hai."

.........

Time passed by, and life on the ship was utterly boring.

The only sounds around were birdsong, the howling sea breeze, and ship horns.

There was also the sound of waves crashing against the ship's hull; the Zero frigate had completely entered international waters.

In the ship's command center, the Japanese advisor, Fujita Yoshimasa, relayed Li Changfeng's assessment.

This made the Japanese general, Kageyama Yoshiaki, frown.

"Baka! This Takeuchi-kun thinks so highly of Miss Gu, he even made a bet with Inukai-kun."

"Are the Empire's experts really inferior to the Chinese?"

Fujita Yoshimasa, on the other hand, shook his head.

"General, I think there is some truth to what Takeuchi said."

“Miss Gu is indeed a genius. Although Qi Tian and his team have gained more time, their progress will not be significant.”

"As long as we can assemble a third-generation cipher machine, this Miss Gu can also be used by us."

"I'm considering whether I should kill her after Project Zero is completed?"

Fujita Yoshimasa narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a serious tone.

Japanese General Kagesa Yoshiaki turned around and glanced at the Japanese flag on the cabin.

He then waved to his assistant, Shimizu Tosan.

"Shimizu-kun, I have a task for you."

"Take Gu Xiaomeng's calculation draft to the secret room and let Qi Tianjun and the others deduce it during their break."

"If Qi Tian's team can assemble a third-generation cipher machine before Gu Xiaomeng, that will be the glory of the empire."

"There's no need to keep these Chinese people around."

As Yingzuo Zhenzhao spoke, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The assistant, Shimizu Tosan, immediately brightened up and bowed his head.

"Hai, Your Excellency General is wise."

According to the rules, neither party can view the other's calculation drawings.

Drafts are categorized by the confidential office, with the date and name noted, and are strictly preserved.

By doing this, Kagesa Yoshiaki is essentially helping Saita-kun's group cheat.

"General, isn't this method a bit...?"

Upon hearing Kagesa Yoshiaki's order, Fujita Yoshimasa hesitated before speaking.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Japanese general, Kagesa Yoshiaki, who raised his hand.

"Fujita-kun, rules are tools used by the strong to suppress the weak."

"On this ship, my word is law."

"You, understand?"

"Kagezo Yoshiaki said in an icy tone."

"Hayi!"

The Japanese advisor, Fujita Yoshimasa, immediately changed his expression and bowed deeply.
