Meanwhile, at the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai.

Commander Matsumoto stood up and glanced at his intelligence chief with a grim expression.

"Oda-kun, what did you say?"

"The Zero destroyer was attacked. Kagesa Yoshiaki was shot and Fujita was seriously injured."

"Didn't General Okada already send the Yamato to provide support?"

"How could such a thing happen...?"

Naotaka Matsumoto couldn't believe that a secret plan would cause so many things to happen.

Doi-mako had just died suddenly, and the Takegi-kai was still being reorganized.

Kagesa Yoshiaki's execution of Project Zero ran into problems.

"Commander, according to the intelligence we received an hour ago..."

"It was the British fleet that attacked the frigate; their two fighter jets were lying in ambush on the peninsula."

"The unexpected attack and subsequent explosion resulted in General Kagesa being wounded."

"However, the decoding work is still ongoing and has not been hindered by this..."

"The Yamato fleet has just gone through a battle, and it will take some time to get there, but there shouldn't be any problems."

"Ichiro Ogawa, the head of the intelligence section, spoke again."

Upon hearing that Project Zero was still underway, Commander Matsumoto Naoli breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, the liaison officer from the intelligence department rushed in.

"Major Ogawa, Commander, something terrible has happened."

"An urgent message has arrived from the Zero-class corvette: General Kagesa of the Mei Agency has died unexpectedly."

"The Yamato was damaged and encountered a tsunami, and the surrounding seas began to rise."

"They requested permission to dock on a nearby island..."

Matsumoto's expression changed, and he immediately looked at the large map behind him.

Their focus is on the waters off the peninsula.

There are many small islands in this area, and there are no residents on them, so getting ashore is not a problem.

However, the island has no port, making it easy for the Zero frigate to run aground.

In addition, the warship was damaged, and once it docked, it might not be able to leave for a short period of time.

While he was pondering, the Japanese Major Ogawa Ichiro next to him lowered his head slightly.

"Commander, there is no time to consider this now."

"We should immediately grant Zero's request and investigate General Kagesa's matter."

"Most importantly, we need to ensure the successful completion of Project Zero and give His Majesty the Emperor an explanation."

Upon hearing the reminder from the head of the intelligence section, Ichiro Ogawa, Matsumoto Naotachi immediately realized what was happening.

He turned around and picked up the phone on the table.

"Immediately call the Zero frigate to dock at the nearest island."

"Notify the Yamato fleet to go to the rescue. Zero cannot be allowed to run aground in the waters off the peninsula."

After speaking, he looked at the head of the intelligence section, Ichiro Ogawa.

"Ogawa-kun, go and inform the Special Higher Police to investigate the cause of General Kagesa's death."

"I'm going to headquarters to report for duty in the next few days."

"Notify me immediately if anything happens..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ogawa Ichiro, the head of the Japanese intelligence section, immediately nodded.

"Hayi!"

........

Two hours later, the Zero frigate docked off an unnamed island off the peninsula.

At the same time, applause broke out in the ship's conference room.

Thanks to the efforts of Gu Xiaomeng and her team, the three-generation cipher machine was successfully assembled.

They also sent a location information to the Shanghai command headquarters.

"Ms. Gu, Ms. Fang, Mr. Li, congratulations!"

"The third generation of cipher machines was born, and everyone had hope of survival."

Wu Yong, the head of the operations department, smiled slightly at the three of them and bowed.

"Clap clap clap-"

Just then, applause came from outside the door.

Fujita Yoshimasa, the Japanese advisor with his head wrapped in gauze, was pushed in in a wheelchair.

He first glanced at Li Changfeng, who was in charge of the work, and then stared intently at the third-generation cipher machine on the table.

This thing is rather ugly, and some parts are not even covered by the outer shell.

But in Yoshimasa Fujita's eyes, this was the greatest glory of Project Zero.

"Yoshi, Takeuchi-kun, you did a great job."

"I already know about General Kagesa's matter."

"I have already reported to headquarters that Shimizu Tosan should be secretly executed."

"The Mei Agency absolutely cannot have any scandals. I'll have to trouble Takeuchi-kun to lead the team to carry this out."

"In addition, the Yamato is on its way and will arrive in about eight hours."

"If we can hold out until tomorrow morning, we'll be back in Shanghai..."

Fujita Yoshimasa had the wheelchair turned around and looked at Li Changfeng, saying this.

Wu Yongyi, the head of Operations No. 76, was delighted and glanced at everyone.

The Japanese and puppet agents on the ship were excited when they heard the news.

Li Changfeng nodded expressionlessly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Fujita."

As he spoke, he walked directly in front of Gu Xiaomeng.

"Miss Gu, you have successfully completed the decryption mission. I have something to give you."

"plz follow me!"

Li Changfeng grabbed Gu Xiaomeng's hand and led her out of the conference room.

He had already figured out that the reason Fujita Yoshimasa appeared in a wheelchair was to carry out the orders previously given by Kagesa Yoshiaki.

They found a reason to take Gu Xiaomeng away to prevent her from being killed.

Seeing Li Changfeng leave with Gu Xiaomeng, Fujita Yoshimasa and the Japanese squad leader Waseda exchanged a glance.

Then he nodded.

"Everyone, get ready! Let's take a group photo!"

Yoshimasa Fujita took out his camera and pointed it at everyone in the conference room.

This includes dozens of agents from the 76th Special Agent Unit, as well as Fang Xiaojing, Li Zhongliang, and others.

The crowd immediately began to stand in two rows, with a group of Japanese soldiers standing behind them.

"Click——"

As Fujita Yoshimasa pressed the shutter, the Japanese squad leader Waseda slightly raised his hand.

The Japanese soldiers raised their guns in perfect unison and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The entire conference room was instantly turned into a river of blood.

At the same time, two heavy machine guns blocked the front and back doors of the conference room.

Wu Yong, the captain of Operation 76, and seven or eight quick-reacting agents had just tackled the enemy to the ground.

Just as they were about to rush out the door, they saw two tongues of fire sweeping directly towards them from the entrance.

Seven or eight of his men were instantly riddled with bullets.

Wu Yong stared at Fujita Yoshimasa and Waseda with eyes wide open.

"Fujita, Waseda, you... how cruel you are."

"Why do you want to kill us?"

Wu Yong was shot in the leg and knelt on the ground, questioning the two Japanese officers.

But then the Japanese colonel Fujita Yoshimasa let out a cold laugh.

"Wu Yong, you're just a dog kept by the Imperial Army. You have no right to ask why?"

"However, since you're fairly loyal, I can tell you."

"The secrets of the three generations of cipher machines can only remain on this ship."

"You died a worthy death to be buried with its birth..."

As he spoke, Yoshimasa Fujita pursed his lips.

Waseda, standing to the side, raised his gun and aimed it directly at Wu Yong's head.

Wu Yong struggled to his feet and pulled out the dagger from his waist.

However, before he could make a move, Waseda shot him right between the eyebrows.

The bullet pierced his head, drawing blood.

Wu Yong's body slowly fell to the ground.

"Mr. Fujita, Mr. Takeuchi has taken Gu Xiaomeng away."

"Should I take some men and take them both out?"

Squad leader Waseda turned around, looked at the corpse on the ground, and asked.

According to the plan, all the cryptographers on this ship were to die.

This is a secret order given by His Excellency the General before his death.

If these people aren't silenced, the Allies might learn about the third-generation cipher machine.

As for Takeuchi-kun, no one would know even if he died here.

It would be incredibly exciting for Waseda to be able to take down an imperial envoy.
