Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 465 A New Lease on Life

Ye Shaohong didn't know much about Nian Dingbang.

As far as he could remember, he had only watched the spy drama "Minus Thirty-Eight Degrees" two or three times.

And it's quite old.

In my memory, I only remember a general plot.

However, Ye Shaohong had a deep impression of the female lead, Chang Qing.

no way.

That's what happens when he's a man.

The actress who plays Chang Qing is indeed beautiful, and more importantly, she is a natural beauty without any artificial enhancements.

During that variety show appearance, her beauty was truly stunning.

Only the underwater kiss with her pert buttocks in Li Qingyi Qinlian's drama could barely surpass her.

Cough cough...

Think more.

Ye Shaohong shook his head, clearing his mind of all distractions. These past events were memories from his previous life. Now, living in the chaotic Republic of China era, there was no point in recalling these romantic scenes.

After gathering his thoughts, Ye Shaohong did not respond to Zheng Yaoxian's remarks, nor did he inquire about the specific details of "Red Mushroom" Nian Dingbang.

This is because it is a taboo that is not allowed in the profession of secret agents.

He lowered his head and began to look through the blueprints in his hand.

A moment later, a serious expression slowly appeared on Ye Shaohong's face. "The situation is more serious than I expected."

"These Japanese devils, despite their brutal nature and lack of humanity, we must admit that in some areas they are indeed more focused."

"Take this underground sewer design blueprint for example. It's not a major project, but they've set up several iron gates in key locations. It's not difficult for us to bring in explosives, but it's very difficult to break through these iron gates without making a sound."

Ye Shaohong has some radical elements of a radical youth, but he is not completely insane.

He was also willing to acknowledge the enemy's strengths.

There's a saying from our ancestors that's quite true: "Learn the superior techniques of the barbarians to control the barbarians." Although the era and circumstances in which this saying was uttered are not right, the saying itself is correct.

Ye Shaohong also agreed.

Just like now, the Japanese are inherently brutal and fear power more than morality, but he must also admit that the Japanese people's adherence to rules is indeed greater than that of most other nations in the world.

The iron gates in the drawings, which could have been omitted, are a prime example.

Their appearance did indeed cause Ye Shaohong considerable trouble.

"Is it?"

"This intelligence was specifically requested by the Chief to be opened by you personally; I hadn't seen it before."

"However... if the situation is really as you say, then the trouble is indeed considerable."

"After all, this is a task that professional engineers should undertake, but our subordinates are all intelligence personnel. Although they have undergone extremely rigorous training, they are all specialists. It is a bit difficult to ask them to handle these things."

Zheng Yaoxian had no intention of looking at the underground waterway design drawings. He strictly adhered to the Special Service Department's operational guidelines, and simply frowned as he made his own judgment.

"Saving engineers?"

"There's a major battle going on in Shanghai right now. Could we transfer a few professional engineers from the military?"

Ye Shaohong agreed with Zheng Yaoxian's judgment, so he did not deny it, but directly put forward his own thoughts.

Zheng Yaoxian thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head.

"It's hard."

"In the end, our country's military regulations are not rigorous enough. Even the German-equipped divisions, which are Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops, do not have many professionals like engineers who must undergo specialized training."

"Moreover, after these days of continuous fighting, their personnel losses have been even more severe, making it difficult to find and pull them out of the battlefield."

"Passing on the orders to them to infiltrate the concession is an even more difficult task. If they are discovered along the way and the intelligence is leaked, then our mission will risk complete failure."

Zheng Yaoxian was older and more experienced, and his judgment of the situation was clearer than Ye Shaohong's.

So after careful consideration, he still made a negative judgment.

"Is that so?"

"That would be troublesome."

“Shanghai is the magic city of the East, so there must be professionals like this. But finding them in the vast sea of ​​people and getting them to join this operation despite the danger is not an easy task…”

At this point, Ye Shaohong's voice suddenly disappeared.

His unusual behavior immediately caught Zheng Yaoxian's attention, and without hesitation, Zheng Yaoxian turned around and looked at Ye Shaohong.

"how?"

"What did you think of?"

Zheng Yaoxian was able to keenly perceive Ye Shaohong's situation, which did not surprise Ye Shaohong at all, nor did he intend to hide it.

"I have indeed thought of something."

"A couple of days ago, when I was out on an operation, I happened to rescue a few soldiers who had escaped from the battlefield after being wounded."

“I remember the calluses on their palms were different from those of the other soldiers.”

"They do resemble engineers somewhat..."

Ye Shaohong couldn't make an accurate judgment on this point either, since it was already very late when he rescued the four seriously wounded soldiers that night.

Moreover, due to some concerns, he hadn't carefully observed the four men. Ye Shaohong only vaguely remembered that when he was talking to the middle-aged soldier who was blind in one eye, he had occasionally glanced at his palm by the moonlight.

It felt quite special at the time, so I kept it in my mind.

But he didn't ask any further questions.

Looking back now, those four wounded soldiers who escaped from the battlefield with serious injuries might actually be the kind of professionals he urgently needs.

This could be considered an unexpected and positive outcome.

This can be considered a good result of his good deeds.

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's a good idea. Since you're unsure, why don't you go and ask?"

"If they are indeed the professionals we urgently need and can trust, then let them participate in this operation."

"As long as they make contributions in the operation, we can not only help them get rid of the crime of desertion, but they may also be able to make some contributions and return home as wounded soldiers."

"This is also a fantastic opportunity for them."

Zheng Yaoxian's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that what seemed like an unsolvable problem would suddenly become a solution for Ye Shaohong.

Could it be that Ye Shaohong truly possesses the legendary luck?

If not, how could he encounter difficulties as if a mysterious hand was helping him?

"Sixth Brother is right."

"How about this, after I've carefully reviewed this blueprint, I'll cut out a portion and take it to them."

"If they are truly the people we need, then I might have no choice but to be the one who 'repays their kindness'!"
