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

Although the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply units had been severely damaged a year earlier due to the intelligence revealed by Su Mingzhe, they were too scattered and many remnants still existed.

This mission was classified as top secret by the Japanese army. With Su Mingzhe's intelligence network, it would be difficult to find out the exact whereabouts of this unit in a short period of time. Even if they could find out the information, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to annihilate these beasts in the enemy-occupied area.

By rail, they could reach the battlefield in no time.

But people aren't diodes, stubborn and inflexible. Since they can't take the lead, they can only settle for second best.

In order to counter the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply units, the Kuomintang army also had corresponding chemical warfare units with outstanding achievements, but they were not well known.

For this reason, gas masks became standard equipment for rank-and-file Japanese soldiers.

Since the Battle of Jiangcheng, the Fifth War Zone has captured a large number of gas masks. It is not necessary to equip all personnel with them; only front-line soldiers need to be fully equipped. The rest can be urgently transferred from all over the country.

Time was of the essence, so Su Mingzhe immediately sent an urgent telegram to Boss Dai.

For the next few days, the situation in Shanghai and Shanghai appeared calm on the surface.

Su Mingzhe's life returned to its usual rhythm. He reported to the Navy Headquarters on time every day, dealt with some trivial official documents, and then spent most of his time in the chess club.

Songhu Naval Research Institute.

The research facility was located not far from the naval headquarters and was heavily guarded. Su Mingzhe's Dodge was stopped at the entrance.

After the announcement, Sakai, Yamanakawa's adjutant, came out to greet him, acting as Su Mingzhe's subordinate the entire time, and never straightening his back.

"Lieutenant Colonel Tahira, Colonel Yamagami are already waiting for you in their office."

Sakai's attitude was even more respectful than last time.

Su Mingzhe followed Sakai through the heavily guarded camp, seeing many Japanese tanks undergoing testing along the way, emitting loud roars. The air was filled with the mixed smell of diesel and gunpowder.

It has to be said that these Japanese soldiers were quite efficient.

Of course, this applies internally; externally, it means that research has encountered bottlenecks.

Make money!

The atmosphere here is completely different from the leisurely and decadent atmosphere of the Naval Headquarters. It is busy, and the researchers coming and going are all in a hurry.

"Tianping-kun, you've arrived."

Hearing the sound, Yamanami turned around and forced a smile.

Welcome, welcome! Please have a seat!

"Mr. Yamanami, I apologize for my intrusion; I hope I have not disturbed you?"

"Mr. Tian Ping, you are too kind. It is our honor to have you visit our research institute."

As he spoke, Colonel Yamanami gave his adjutant Sakai a wink, and a moment later the adjutant came in carrying a small box.

Colonel Yamanami opened the box, revealing a dark green luminous pearl the size of a duck egg.

"I've heard that Lord Tian Ping enjoys playing with these little trinkets. I acquired this luminous pearl by chance. I'm just an ordinary person, and it would be a waste for me to possess such an elegant object."

Su Mingzhe held the luminous pearl in his hands and played with it for a while. It felt warm and smooth to the touch. The only flaw was that there were some faint cracks in the middle of the pearl, and it was also a bit small in size, but it was still very valuable.

That old devil is quite shrewd. After a while, he had Luo Dayou go to the black market in another province to exchange for gold bars, and also exchange Su Mingzhe's recent wealth for weapons to support the front line.

"You're too kind, Mr. Yamanami. I'll accept your offer without hesitation."

Su Mingzhe was too lazy to be polite with them. Judging from the old Japanese man's appearance, he probably wanted something from him. Just to smooth things over, he wouldn't give him a luminous pearl upon meeting him. His goodwill was not as valuable as this luminous pearl.

After a pause, Su Mingzhe continued:

"Yama-no-kun, could you perhaps transfer a few researchers to your area?"

As you know, Prince Yong gave us a batch of orders, but due to some technical issues, the workers' progress is slow and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

General Hasegawa wanted to quickly build two prototype ships to conduct some basic data tests, and if there were no problems, he would increase the speed of mass production.

If Prince Yong is satisfied, there will be no shortage of follow-up orders.

Su Mingzhe gave a meaningful look.

This is a win-win situation; more orders mean more rebates, so Colonel Yamagami has no reason to refuse.

As expected, Colonel Yamanami readily agreed and turned to his adjutant, Sakai, saying:

"Sakai, assign two researchers to Lord Tahira and have them report to Naval Headquarters immediately."

"Hai."

His research institute only has a core team of about a dozen people. If more are transferred, the research progress on new tanks will fall behind.

Furthermore, two people are enough to handle some simple technical issues.

After chatting for a while, just as Su Mingzhe got up to leave, Colonel Yamagami, who seemed hesitant to speak, finally made up his mind and spoke:

"Tianping-kun, I've always admired the Songhu Navy..."

???

Su Mingzhe had considered many possibilities, but this matter was truly beyond his expectations.

"Yamahime-kun, as I said, we are friends. There's no need for so many roundabout ways. Just speak your mind."

"Alright then, I'll just get straight to the point."

I've been a colonel for almost ten years now, and at my current rate of accumulating points, even if I wait another ten years, I'll never be promoted to major general.

Ha, how ironic. When I was promoted to colonel, they thought I was too young; when I was promoted to major general, they thought I was too old.

I have no special background. If I had to name one, my background passed away ten years ago.

I need military merit as extra points; this is my only chance for further promotion.

The Japanese military's rank promotion system was extremely peculiar. It was a comprehensive scoring system, with rank, military merit, seniority, and especially the assessment of superiors all serving as evaluation criteria.

Without a powerful backer, his performance evaluations were mostly below average. As a civilian researcher, he received very few points and had no military merits. There were plenty of people waiting to be promoted from colonel to major general, so he could forget about it just by accumulating seniority.

This is why he is so obsessed with money; he needs to save up to bribe his superiors in order to get a high score in this year's performance review.

Su Mingzhe frowned and said calmly:

"You may be overestimating my abilities. This is not something I can decide, not even General Hase."

After saying that, he took out the box containing the luminous pearl and was about to retreat when Colonel Yamagami stopped him.

"Lord Tianping, there's no reason to take back what's given away."

I understand everything you've said. I just want you to convey my message to General Hase: I have other things to say to the General.

please. "

Colonel Yamanami bowed deeply.

He was like a drowning person, frantically grabbing at anything he could rely on.

As he said, his time was running out.

"I will do my best. As for the outcome, it's up to fate. I wish you good luck."
