A few days later, at the Manchurian headquarters.

General Okamoto, the Japanese commander, waved his hand at the few cryptography experts in front of him.

"Tell me, how's the testing going with the cipher machine sent from Beiping?"

The cryptography experts exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with delight.

One of the leading Japanese telecommunications experts stepped forward.

"General, we have passed the tests."

"It has been proven that the cipher machine that General Yokota sent was indeed the König III cipher machine."

"By embedding it into our radio stations, all coded messages can be triple-encrypted."

"The contents of the telegram will also be scrambled, and it can only be deciphered using the same cipher machine."

"Our security level has been significantly increased..."

Upon hearing the telecommunications expert's description, General Okada Koji nodded.

He then stood up excitedly.

"Yoshi, you did a great job."

"It seems our Project Zero has been a success."

"It's just a pity that General Kagesa of the Mei Agency and the genius who researched this cipher machine are no longer here."

"Replicating this cipher machine is extremely difficult..."

Koji Okada stood up and looked at the third-generation cipher machine on the table.

He stroked it with his hand and said with a regretful expression.

"General, rest assured, we will familiarize ourselves with the third-generation cipher machine as soon as possible and find a way to decipher it."

"The Empire's war against the Allies has only just begun, and it needs such important equipment."

"In a sense, this third-generation cipher machine is the seed that General Kagesa left for us."

The cryptography expert from the telecommunications company reiterated this point.

This guy looks very young, and his eyes are full of confidence.

Koji Okada stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Very good, Miyamoto Isoroku, I have high hopes for you."

After saying this, he had several cryptography experts escorted out of the office.

Koji Okada dialed the Manchurian Intelligence Bureau's Special Service Department directly.

"Moshi moshi, this is Okada."

"It has been tested and the third-generation cipher machine works without problems."

"Immediately verify the identity of that special envoy."

"Three days from now, I will personally meet with His Majesty the Emperor to explain this matter."

A very respectful voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, sir, I will do so immediately."

..........

A few hours later, at the Bai Mansion.

Michiko, the head of the Special Higher Police, hurriedly entered Ryuichi Araki's office with a telegram in her hand.

"Araki-kun, I just received a verification report from the Beiping Intelligence Bureau."

"The Emperor's special envoy, Takeuchi Minaichi, defected to General Yokota with the third-generation cipher machine."

"The cipher machine has been verified and is confirmed to be working correctly."

How should we respond?

Michiko placed the telegram on the table and looked at Colonel Araki Ryuichi across from her, asking him a question.

She was overjoyed to hear that Takeuchi-kun was still alive.

As for these verification reports, she also sent a copy to Commander Matsumoto.

For Ryuichi Araki, it's just a formality.

After all, the Special Higher Police is a subordinate of the Mei Agency.

Araki Ryuichi picked up the telegram and looked at it, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Damn it, this Takeuchi Mineichi actually took General Kagesa's research results and defected to General Yokota."

"The few surviving seriously wounded soldiers reported that he jumped ship and escaped with a cryptographer."

"Is there something fishy going on here?"

Araki Ryuichi couldn't understand it.

This Takeuchi-kun could have easily taken the third-generation cipher machine back to the White Mansion.

Why did he suddenly go to Beiping and seek refuge with Shinji Yokota?

This doesn't make sense.

"Colonel, according to the news from Beiping..."

“When Takeuchi was found, he had been unconscious for several hours.”

"The items we were carrying were also washed away by the sea."

"I doubt he is capable of returning to the Bai Mansion."

"As for joining forces with General Yokota, it was simply a matter of following the trend..."

Michiko lowered her head and explained after hearing what Ryuichi Huang said.

When Takeuchi was found, he was already unconscious. You still expect him to bring the cipher machine back to Shanghai?

The Zero-class corvette was a near-death experience; even General Kagesa perished.

This Ryuichi Araki seems a bit suspicious.

"Oh, I see."

"Since there is no problem with the cipher machine, I can sign the verification report."

“Takeuchi’s file should be in your Special Higher Police Section. You will then be responsible for sending it to the Beiping Intelligence Bureau.”

"Also, I need to see General Matsumoto."

"To clear the names of General Kagesa and Mr. Fujita..."

As he spoke, Araki Ryuichi stood up and straightened his clothes.

Because of the accident involving the Zero-class corvette, the Japanese general Kagesa Yoshiaki became a criminal.

The family of Fujita, an advisor to the Ume Agency, was also implicated.

Araki Ryuichi prepared to go to headquarters to explain the situation.

"Hayi!"

Michiko smiled slightly and nodded respectfully in agreement.

Then he walked out very excitedly.

........

Li Changfeng stayed in the hospital for half a month, and his physical injuries have almost fully recovered.

In addition, due to his special physical condition, he quickly recovered to his original state.

"Miss Haruko, are you going on a date tonight?"

"I can treat you to Japanese food and take you to the best hotel to play poker."

"Thank you for taking care of me over the past two weeks..."

In the ward, Li Changfeng held the nurse's hand and said with a smile.

He then stuffed a wad of French currency into her pocket.

This Japanese woman is named Haruko Nogawa, and she has been taking care of Li Changfeng for the past two weeks.

Of course, she was also following orders from Shinji Yokota.

There were also dozens of intelligence agents protecting them outside.

Because he brought back three generations of cipher machines, Li Changfeng had become a hero of the Beiping Command.

I heard that His Majesty the Emperor even issued a special decree to commend him, and that he has a bright future ahead of him.

“(Dotaimas) Haruko is willing to do her best, as long as Takeuchi-kun likes it.”

“It is Haruko’s duty to help the warriors of the Empire.”

Haruko Nogawa touched the banknotes in her pocket, her face flushed, and she lowered her head.

That's almost as much money as her annual allowance.

I never imagined that Takeuchi-kun in front of me was a rich man.

"Yoshi, Haruko did a good job."

"From now on, you'll stay by my side. This special envoy won't treat you badly..."

Li Changfeng pinched Nogawa Haruko's waist, eliciting a scream.

Haruko Nogawa's legs went weak, and she collapsed into Li Changfeng's arms.

Just then, the ward door opened.

Japanese General Shinji Yokota, accompanied by several Japanese officers, stood at the doorway, watching this scene with some embarrassment.

"Ahem, I didn't expect Takeuchi-kun to have recovered already..."

"And he also won over Haruko."

Yokota Shinji blushed, coughed twice while covering his mouth with his hand, and gave Li Changfeng a thumbs up.

The Japanese officers standing nearby were green with envy.

This Miss Haruko is the most beautiful girl in the Special Service Department, and she was sent by General Yokota to take care of this guy.

Unexpectedly, it was taken down in less than half a month.

"General, I have been rude..."

Upon seeing Shinji Yokota appear before her, Haruko Nogawa immediately stood up and bowed.

She looked at everyone with some shame.

She didn't know why, but every time she came into contact with Takeuchi-kun, she would feel a flutter in her heart.

I just took his money without anyone noticing, and I was even lying in his arms.
