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

Back at the chess club, Su Mingzhe lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He had just induced vomiting and taken some medicine, and the discomfort in his abdomen gradually subsided.

Human progress began with learning to use and preserve fire, gradually evolving from the primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood to civilization.

Su Mingzhe has never understood the phenomenon of civilizational regression, which he categorizes as a form of atavism, including Japanese sashimi and sushi.

They neither understand nor respect it.

In those few short minutes, Su Mingzhe recalled many things.

From the moment he transmigrated to this chaotic world and joined the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau, he punished the wicked and repeatedly performed meritorious deeds. At least hundreds of Japanese and traitors died at his hands.

He then joined the Red Party, met like-minded people like Wang Fuquan, and did his best for the liberation of China.

Finally, he infiltrated Shanghai, disguised himself as a Japanese businessman to join the navy, and gradually made his way to where he is today.

Su Mingzhe was involved in several decisive battles, including the Battle of Jiangcheng, the Japanese Autumn Offensive, the Battle of Yangcheng, and the Battle of Xingcheng.

For a secret agent to reach his level is quite an achievement, and he is proud of what he has accomplished.

Scenes from the past flashed before my eyes like a slideshow: Uncle Xiangzi, Li Qi, Wang Fuquan, Song Shuhan...

Finally, the camera focused on Shigeru Kurokawa. Su Mingzhe couldn't quite understand the meaningful look in Kurokawa's eyes, and felt a chill run down his spine.

Perhaps Kurokawa Shigeru's gaze just now had no meaning at all; it was just a simple glance at him, and Su Mingzhe was overinterpreting it.

Lost in thought, Su Mingzhe fell into a deep sleep sometime later, until the next morning.

"Thump, thump, thump-thump-thump..."

The sudden knocking startled Su Mingzhe awake, instantly dispelling his lingering sleepiness. His right hand instinctively reached for the pillow, where a Browning pistol lay.

The knocking was number 213, the frequency of Shen Bei's knocking. Su Mingzhe finally felt relieved, and most of his vigilance subsided. However, his right hand, which was under the pillow, still gripped the pistol tightly.

To make it easier to identify the person knocking on the door, the members of the chess club each have their own knocking frequency. For example, Su Mingzhe's knocking frequency is 224.

"come in."

Upon hearing Su Mingzhe's agreement, Shen Bei pushed open the door and entered, holding two telegrams in his hands.

"Chief, Ze Du of the Songhu Navy just sent you a telegram, which is double-encrypted using codebooks number three and eleven."

The contents are roughly as follows: Shigeru Kurokawa has reported your "crimes" in the Shanghai-Nanjing Navy to the Army. The Army has seized the opportunity to make a big deal out of it, saying that the Shanghai-Nanjing Navy is rotten to the core, and is taking the opportunity to put pressure on the Ministry of the Navy in the Cabinet.

The matter has become quite serious. To avoid suspicion, you have been temporarily relieved of all duties pending investigation. A special envoy will be coming to investigate and collect evidence soon.

Finally, Ze Du added, "Things are very tense lately, so please be careful when you go out."

Ah, judging from this, the army does have plans to take action against us, but it hasn't actually carried them out yet.

The reason is easy to guess: the value of a disgraced living naval officer is greater than that of a dead man, at least it can serve as a form of reverse propaganda.

"As for the other telegram, it was sent by Shinji Kawasugi."

The message was simple, just one sentence: "The envoy who came to investigate you is my subordinate; they will cooperate with you."
