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

Chapter 874 Arrival in Hanoi

This mission was very time-sensitive, leaving Ye Shaohong no chance to go home and visit his family.

After gathering Li Yunlong, Chen Gongshu, and Wang Tianmu, Ye Shaohong went directly to the action department's training ground.

Under Xu Baichuan's personal supervision, they selected more than twenty people from the action department.

They are all skilled at taking action.

After everyone had gathered, Mao Renfeng personally escorted over all the equipment, radio codebooks, and operational funds.

Just then, Xu Zhongyi returned.

He had already contacted the mountain city airport and urgently dispatched a plane. That evening, Ye Shaohong led his team of agents to French Vietnam.

Directly to Hanoi.

To be honest, the main frame of airplanes in this era is made of iron.

The outer layer is mainly made of lightweight wood wrapped in sheet metal.

The turbulence felt on an airplane is even more intense than when riding in an off-road vehicle.

Despite Ye Shaohong's poor physical condition, he actually got airsick on his first flight in this era.

A wave of nausea and vomiting washed over me.

If he was like this, then Li Yunlong, Chen Gongshu, Wang Tianmu, and the others were even worse.

Fortunately, the journey wasn't too long. After more than three hours, they finally crossed the dense forests of South Asia and arrived in Hanoi. They were received by officials from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hanoi station.

Because France had not yet surrendered at this time, in a sense, they and the Republic of China government could still be considered military allies.

Of course, this alliance is not stable.

It was the kind of relationship that was only superficially harmonious.

When there is mutual benefit, they can be considered like-minded people; but when there is no mutual benefit, or when there is a conflict of interest, those blond-haired, big-nosed Frenchmen will not care about the interests of the Republic of China government.

This can be seen from the fact that Wang betrayed his country and defected to the enemy, using the French territory of Yue as a route.

The only good news was that, after emergency consultations by the Nationalist government's diplomats, the colonists in French Vietnam would not interfere with the Military Intelligence Bureau's operations this time.

That's already a pretty good result.

"Seventh Brother!" "The camp has been arranged. Would you like to go and rest first, or..."

The officer from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hanoi station who came to pick them up was a long-faced man who looked remarkably like Xu Damao.

He is indeed a pragmatist.

Upon meeting Ye Shaohong, he briefly greeted him and then immediately inquired about the follow-up arrangements.

"Get in the car first!"

"Tell me about the situation on the way."

Ye Shaohong glanced at the Hanoi station official, and without further ado, made the arrangements.

He raised his hand and waved, and Li Yunlong, Chen Gongshu, Wang Tianmu and the others who had come with him immediately led their team members toward the car.

The vehicle started and quickly drove out of the airport.

During the journey, the officer from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hanoi station, who looked remarkably like Xu Damao, also told Ye Shaohong about the whereabouts of Wang and his group.

It has to be said, Mr. Wang is quite arrogant.

Perhaps he thought that once he was out of the territory of the Republic of China government, he would be safe.

After arriving in Hanoi, the group made no attempt to conceal their whereabouts and are now openly residing in the Hanoi Grand Hotel.

According to information relayed by intelligence agents at the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hanoi station, there seemed to be signs that Wang Jingwei was meeting with a Japanese special envoy in Hanoi.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Shaohong immediately frowned.

"Now that you've already found out the information, why haven't you taken any action?"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch these traitors go unpunished?"

Ye Shaohong was indeed a little angry.

Although he knew that the Military Intelligence Bureau's overseas stations were understaffed, he did not expect that the personnel in the Hanoi station would be so cowardly and timid.

It really disappointed him.

"Brother Seven!"

"We're not like that either; we're willing to kill the enemy, but powerless to change the situation!"

"Our entire Hanoi station, including the intelligence agents who were lying in wait, only has thirteen people in total."

"And firepower is severely inadequate!"

"We simply lack the capacity to organize effective action!"

The Hanoi station official, who resembled Xu Daimao, looked bitter. He didn't hide anything and directly explained their situation.

Is that really the case?

To put it bluntly, they were still afraid.

Even if the Hanoi station was indeed short-handed and lacked firepower, they wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. Ultimately, they were still afraid of Wang's reputation.

They were afraid of the power behind Wang.

They were also afraid that after taking action, they would not only fail to gain praise from their superiors, but might also face fierce retaliation from Wang and his men.

All reasons are just excuses.

"Humph!"

"I will report this matter to headquarters truthfully. As for how to deal with you, we'll have to wait for headquarters' response."

"Take us directly to the Hanoi Grand Hotel!"

Ye Shaohong was too lazy to pay attention to these people, so naturally he wouldn't give them a friendly look.

After a muffled groan, he finally made his decision.

As soon as Ye Shaohong gave the order, the driver in front turned the car around and veered to the side of the road.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong couldn't help but narrow his eyes again.

Good guy.

If he hadn't given the order, would these people have taken them somewhere else instead?

From the very beginning, they never intended to get involved in this matter.

However, Ye Shaohong had no time to care about these trivial matters now, as his mind was completely focused on the upcoming operation.

Ye Shaohong had made preparations from the very beginning.

He knew that this assassination attempt would not go smoothly.

Not to mention that Wang had already made full preparations for betraying his country and defecting to the enemy, he and his entourage were accompanied by a large number of guards.

Take the Japanese devils, for example; they had a considerable number of personnel in French Vietnam.

These people are probably all gathered around Mr. Wang now.

Forcing a charge will not yield good results.

But he still had to do it.

It wasn't that Ye Shaohong was stupid, but rather that this was a task personally assigned by Dai Yunong.

Dai Ngoc Nong instructed them to take immediate action upon arrival in Hanoi.

An attack was launched against Wang.

The reason is simple: the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to make a statement to the bald-headed Chairman.

We also need to show our attitude to countries around the world.

That was the Republic of China government, which had no tolerance for those who betrayed their country and defected to the enemy.

They will all have to pay the price for this.

As for the sacrifices that such a choice would require from Ye Shaohong and the other participants, Dai Yunong didn't consider. Compared to national interests and the face of the bald-headed chairman in various countries, the lives and safety of these lowly people were simply unimportant.

This is also a responsibility they should bear.

And so, as Ye Shaohong pondered the journey, the convoy soon arrived at the Hanoi Grand Hotel.
