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

"People from the Mei Agency? This isn't their home turf, nor is it their area of ​​expertise. Why aren't they here in Guangzhou to help Wang Jingwei sign the treaty?"

"Heh, what else could they be doing? They're just eyeing the big pie of Guangzhou and want a piece of it."

As you know, Kagesa is qualified for promotion to major general, both in terms of seniority and merit.

He's still a colonel; he's just waiting for the right opportunity.

For the sake of a Major General's badge, countless people would risk everything in a gamble, whether it was Naoki Hase or Shigeru Kurokawa, and the Director of the Kagesa Agency was no exception.

After listening to Su Mingzhe's analysis, Section Chief Kurokawa shook his head.

“Tianping-kun, I’m afraid it’s more than that.”

"Kagesa is not a well-behaved person. He is different from Iwai. Iwai is busy with official duties and doesn't have much time to deal with this kind of thing. Even his daily work is handled by his subordinates."

But Yingzuo can't be content to be suppressed by us forever. Just you wait, he may be planning to use this opportunity to establish connections with the army, turn the tables, regain some influence in Shanghai, and stand up to us.

Moreover, he had previously tried to acquire a stake in the smuggling business without any investment, but we repeatedly refused. It's highly likely he's colluding with the army to do the same.

Kurokawa Shigeru said calmly.

It must be said that Section Chief Kurokawa is quite capable, being able to draw conclusions that almost perfectly match the reality from such fragmented information.

"Section Chief Kurokawa, what do we do? We can't just stand by and watch them succeed, can we?"

"Success? His skills are far from sufficient."

Even a second-rate guy like Ishii Koudai can plant a mole in the army, so how could I not have some tricks up my sleeve?

To be honest, I have people in every division-level unit of the Empire.

However, most of them were in a state of dormancy, waiting for my orders.

Kagesa wants to turn things around? Maybe in his next life.

It's somewhat ironic that the Special Higher Police (TAT) planted agents within their own military as one of the means to ensure the loyalty of military commanders.

But now, the reason for activating these agents is that the loyalty of the Songhu Special Higher Police to Tianhuang has become questionable.

Seemingly realizing that his words were somewhat imprecise, Kurokawa Shigeru added:

"Well, except for the Fourth Division, because their intelligence is not very valuable."

Furthermore, their loyalty is beyond question, because they have virtually no loyalty whatsoever.

Unbeknownst to him, Kurokawa Shigeru and the men of the Fourth Division were becoming more and more alike in temperament and personality.

Just as the two were talking, another officer came running over with a telegram in his hand.

"read."

"Ha-yi".

Latest battle update from Guangzhou: Imperial troops have successfully crossed Daya Bay and joined forces with the troops attacking Humen Fortress, which was captured an hour ago.

Currently, the 5th Division, as the vanguard, is advancing towards the Guangzhou area, making rapid and unstoppable progress, sweeping through everything in its path...

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't read any more of this nonsense."

I said, "Could you please stop reading those things from the radio? Even Chinese people know that stuff, let alone Japanese people. Instead, read me what our Special Higher Police have gathered."

"Hai."

Kitagawa Yoshio looked aggrieved. It was Major Tahira who taught him that he should only speak the truth to his superiors, not lies, and only speak the facts, not official jargon.

How did everything change here? He had planned to finish reading this copy before moving on to the next one.

"Reporting to the section chief, according to our intelligence, although the Imperial army successfully crossed Daya Bay and did occupy a considerable amount of territory, it did not engage in combat with the main force of the Kuomintang army."

Moreover, capturing Humen Fortress was not as easy as they claimed; their so-called complete annihilation of the more than 5,000 garrison troops at Humen Fortress was a fabrication of their victory.

According to our Special Higher Police intelligence, the defenders of Humen Fortress refused to surrender and fought to the death. They won a hard-fought victory despite the absolute sea and air superiority of the Fifth Fleet and its air formations, as well as their overwhelming logistical support.

According to later battle casualty statistics, the total number of troops defending Humen Fortress was less than two regiments plus some naval forces, but they severely damaged the two divisions responsible for the attack, with more than 3,000 dead and countless wounded.

Currently, the morale of the imperial army responsible for attacking Yangcheng is low, and judging from the situation at the front, their logistics seem to be experiencing problems.

"Snapped."

Kitagawa Yoshio closed the document, bowed at a 90-degree angle, and handed the folder to Section Chief Kurokawa with both hands.

As expected, this intelligence matched Kurokawa Shigeru's predictions about the battle situation.

“Well done. Tell the communications team to get back to me with any intelligence about Guangzhou immediately.”

"Hai."

Su Mingzhe was a little puzzled. Although Kurokawa Shigeru had now become like Hase Naoki, and all he cared about was his beloved disciple Watanabe and money, surely he wouldn't want the empire to be defeated?

But Kurokawa Shigeru's next sentence provided Su Mingzhe with the answer.
