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

"idiot!"

A loud slap landed squarely on the face of Yan Shihuang, the head of the Special Higher Police Section in Jinling, instantly turning his face red and swollen.

Colonel Ke Yan looked terrified, his hands pressed tightly against his trouser seams, his back already soaked with cold sweat, and he kept his head down, not daring to meet the man's gaze.

"Didn't you keep saying that your plan was foolproof?"

We originally intended to make those damned rats submit, but now the whole of Nanjing is laughing at us. You've brought shame upon the Special Higher Police and the Empire!

After saying these words, the man's anger only increased, and he threw a finely crafted dagger from the table at the other end.

"If that guy surnamed Wang dies, then there's no point in you living. Giving you the right to commit seppuku is already a concession because you've served the empire for so many years."

It was my poor judgment that led me to replace Watanabe with someone else, and to appoint a good-for-nothing like you as the head of the Jinling Special Higher Police Section.

Effective immediately, Kazuya Watanabe has resumed his position as head of the Jinling Special Higher Police Section.

As for you?

If he manages to survive, you should go to the mountain city and lie low to atone for your mistakes today. I will be your only superior and maintain direct contact with you.

You understand?

"Hayi!"

Colonel Ishii buried his head even deeper, remaining motionless with his head down.

"boom!"

As the door slammed shut, Colonel Ishii finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant.

More than half a year later, Watanabe Kazuya successfully took over as the head of the Jinling Special Higher Police Section. Even though he himself didn't care, his thoughts were the same as his teacher's: to wait for the war to end and become a rich man.

......

Thanks to the recent assassination attempt, Prince Yong's security has been further strengthened, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed within 200 meters of his residence.

A large number of Marines acted as temporary guards, blocking off the streets.

A series of meetings that were originally scheduled were also cancelled.

It's clear that this imperial prince is truly afraid of death; the more he possesses, the more afraid he is of losing it.

However, he did not come to Shanghai for a vacation; every move of a politician like him has a clear political purpose.

One of his purposes in coming to Songhu was to encourage the army.

As the empire's strategic objective shifted from northward expansion to southward expansion, the navy's status rose accordingly.

However, because the previous war had been led by the army, and the army suppressed the navy, a large number of naval officers were extremely dissatisfied.

To put it bluntly, he came here on Tianhuang's orders to support the navy.

As for why Songhu was chosen, the answer is quite simple.

Where there are people, there are conflicts. The Imperial Navy was not a monolithic entity. It was mainly divided into the conservative faction, which was dominated by big guns and battleships, and the reformist faction, which regarded aircraft carriers as the core of the navy's future strategy.

At least for now, the conservative faction in the Navy is very powerful, and Rear Admiral Hasegawa is a close confidant and favorite of General Nagumo, the representative of the conservative faction.

Therefore, he did not cancel the most important meeting.

"Let's go, His Highness the Prince has summoned us."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it's rare for such a high-ranking figure to come to Shanghai for inspection.

Later, we'll all cry poverty together and squeeze out two more layers of profit.

I've already spoken to Special Envoy Kawasugi; he'll cooperate with us.

Naoki Hase looked at Su Mingzhe and said.

"By the way, try to speak as little as possible later, and act according to my signals."

"Hai."
