Espionage: Mastering the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the Start

Ren Tian's death could not be concealed; it appeared on the front page of newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled areas the very next day, greatly boosting the morale of the military and civilians in their resistance against Japan.

That evening, the group sat around the radio, listening to the sound of victory.

The broadcast praised the operation highly, without naming anyone who did it, only referring to it as a great, unsung hero.

This is also to protect the identities of the undercover agents.

Shen Bei, who was listening from the side, couldn't stop smiling, since the content was all praising him.

I'm actually so amazing!

In fact, each of them could be considered an excellent agent if picked out individually, but Su Mingzhe's brilliance made them seem too ordinary.

A 21-year-old lieutenant colonel station chief, Boss Dai's most prized disciple, Principal Chang's top student, recipient of the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, plus a whole bunch of other "miscellaneous" medals.

Oh, right, now he has another title—Lieutenant Staff Officer of the Japanese Marine Corps.

Shen Bei has truly brought honor to his ancestors. If he survives to the day of victory, he will tear up the family genealogy and start writing from his own page.

Su Mingzhe smiled and shook his head at his expression, then went to the balcony to smoke alone.

The cold night wind could wash away the joy of victory, and Su Mingzhe needed to keep a clear head at all times.

Although Su Mingzhe had the upper hand in several clashes with the Songhu Special Higher Police, he was no ordinary person who could become the head of the department.

At least he has never seen the face of that mysterious Nagasawa Jinchu.

Victory and defeat are relative; the more frenzied the celebration of victory on their side, the more furious the Japanese are.

They will definitely not let this go, which makes the calm of the past two days seem very strange.

This afternoon, Su Mingzhe received a secret report from Watanabe Kazuya that the Songhu Special Higher Police had stopped searching for the assassin.

Something unusual must be going on. These tightrope walkers should be careful, so Su Mingzhe decided to keep quiet for a while.

Su Mingzhe's thinking was on a completely different level from Asada Monji's. He probably never imagined that Asada Monji would deal with the headquarters in such an absurd way.

Even Asada Monji was burning incense and praying to Buddha, hoping that Su Mingzhe wouldn't cause any trouble during this period.

This can be considered a beautiful misunderstanding.

The cigarette had burned to the end without him realizing it. Feeling the burning sensation on his fingertips, Su Mingzhe stomped out the cigarette butt.

Actually, he didn't even take a puff of that cigarette; it was all just the wind blowing through him. He was having a seizure.

Perhaps it's just my imagination, but holding a burning cigarette makes it easier to think.

Su Mingzhe already has a blueprint for the development direction in the next month.

Unless he obtains extremely important intelligence, Su Mingzhe does not want to get involved in this area recently.

His relationship with Higashina Mori and Major General Hase had reached a bottleneck and was difficult to advance further.

Moreover, most of the navy stationed in Shanghai was transferred away due to the impending war in Jiangcheng.

Only Hase Naoki's team was left to guard the city and serve as a facade. According to Higashinai Morishige, the commander of the naval headquarters had some prejudice against the Osaka people and did not want them to go to the battlefield, which they were happy to see.

Therefore, there won't be any news from the Navy for a long time.

Su Mingzhe wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Naoki Hasegawa had been somewhat distant from him lately, and their relationship was stuck in an awkward position, neither too close nor too distant.

I hope these are just illusions.

Because Su Mingzhe was too close to the Japanese Navy, he had long been blacklisted by the Japanese Army, and associating with them would be tantamount to courting death.

So, there's only one thing left to do right now—integrate the Green Gang and unify the underground market in Shanghai.

Although Su Mingzhe had a list of suppliers, he and his few companions were still powerless to do so.

Su Mingzhe needs a lot of manpower.

Moreover, they have other things to do and can't spend all their time on this.

Moreover, he had another consideration.

Boss Dai sent him to Songhu to establish Songhu Station, but so much time has passed and there is still no clue. This could be an opportunity.

By having his agents join the Green Gang and then submit to Su Mingzhe's command, the integration was completed smoothly and with a high degree of secrecy.

Huang and Du went into hiding, while others fled. Finally, Zhang Xiaolin, a major figure in the Green Gang, was personally eliminated by Su Mingzhe.

At present, the once-powerful Green Gang has collapsed instantly, leaderless, each going its own way, with only a handful of members remaining.

Their philosophy is simple: if there's no leader, then fight it out and become the leader; whoever wins becomes the leader.

Therefore, the security situation in Songhu was very bad during this period, with frequent gang fights.

However, they still considered the brotherhood within the gang and rarely caused any deaths; they always stopped short of killing anyone.

However, as time went on, they became increasingly ruthless, and the moral shackles that had bound people's hearts were gradually breaking down.

But Su Mingzhe is the one who will put a tight rein on them.

"Dayou, go to Casino No. 17 again tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Luo Dayou looked at Su Mingzhe with some suspicion.

Isn't Zhang Xiaolin already dead? Why is he still going to Casino No. 17?

However, Luo Dayou usually empties his mind when facing Su Mingzhe.

So he simply waited quietly for Su Mingzhe to continue, just like a good student listening attentively to a teacher's lecture.

"Now that the Green Gang is leaderless, it would be a waste to give up such a good resource. I want to make them work for me."

"Station manager, what should we do?"

Fine, fine, you don't want to think at all, do you? Can't you learn from Shen Bei?

Su Mingzhe patiently continued:

"Use Japanese signs to force them to comply, and shoot those who don't obey."

Although they were called members of the Green Gang, most of them were actually just thugs and hooligans.

If you are soft, they will be hard; if you are hard, they will be soft. This is an example of the principle that forces are reciprocal.

When dealing with them, there's no need to reason; guns are the ultimate truth.

After saying that, Su Mingzhe handed over Higashi Nakamori's sword and the Browning issued to General Hasegawa to Luo Dayou as a showpiece.

Sending Luo Dayou to Su Mingzhe also had its own considerations.

Firstly, Luo Dayou had been to Casino No. 17 before and was familiar with the environment there.

Secondly, compared to the two weak scholars Shen Bei and Yan Yun, and the greasy uncle Xu Feng, Luo Dayou's reckless appearance is more intimidating.

Luo Dayou excitedly held the two items, especially the command sword, and played with it for a while.

Pulling it out and then putting it back in, repeating this over and over again, left Su Mingzhe speechless.

Luo Dayou is reliable most of the time, but sometimes he has the mentality of a child.

Su Mingzhe chose to respect biodiversity once again.
