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

The convoy drove through the rain and finally stopped in front of a Japanese-style hotel.

Su Mingzhe personally opened the car door for the three of them and gestured for them to enter.

"Gentlemen, General Hasegawa has arranged accommodations for you. Please rest here tonight, and I will accompany you to pay your respects to the General tomorrow."

"You're too kind, Mr. Tian Ping."

Li Zhenqiang suppressed his chaotic thoughts and answered in fluent Kyoto-accented Japanese.

"Mr. Li, you flatter me. You are not only General Hasegawa's honored guest, but also the honored guest of our entire Songhu Navy."

Su Mingzhe smiled and led them into the hotel lobby.

The hotel's interior was luxuriously decorated, and the Songhu Navy had booked the entire third floor to ensure that no unauthorized personnel would approach.

Of course, there's no way I'll pay you; it's all free.

In order to amass wealth, General Hasegawa had a knack for dealing with these high-end industries: increasing taxes and imposing a whole host of all sorts of taxes.

I'll charge you 95 out of 100; you know my methods.

Don't spend the remaining five dollars; give me four dollars and eighty cents tomorrow.

"Please make yourselves at home, I won't bother you any longer."

After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, he turned and left.

After a long silence, one of them finally spoke up:

"Old Li, this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhen silenced him with a look.

Then, he began communicating using Morse code.

This room was clearly prepared by the Japanese long ago; things like eavesdropping are just basic operations.

It would be rather ridiculous if they slipped up at this point.

However, apart from his six months of part-time training, the other two had almost no contact with underground work.

Fortunately, they were only pretending to be businessmen and talking business with a money-grubbing naval admiral. If the three of them had faced the Special Higher Police, their flaws would have been impossible to hide.

Yes, they are now like meat on a chopping board, with absolutely no choice.

It wasn't just the Japanese who wanted them dead; the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Juntong) were even more eager to eliminate them.

Given Dai's methods, how could he not know that Su Mingzhe had some dealings with the Red Party?

In addition to the Military Intelligence Station controlled by Su Mingzhe, the Military Intelligence Bureau forces in Shanghai also included several agents who served Dai Li. They did not engage in intelligence work, but were simply responsible for surveillance.

The Shanghai-Songhu Station was far too important. The fragile intelligence system that had been painstakingly built could not withstand another breach. If anyone defected, they would immediately issue an alert.

In the Shanghai-Nanjing area, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (MMIS) were rebuilt more than a dozen times, and all parties were struggling to survive in the cracks. In addition, Su Mingzhe's status was important, so Boss Dai didn't bother with him.

To prevent Su Mingzhe from potentially informing the Communist Party in advance, all the Kuomintang agents who came to Shanghai to carry out the assassination mission were transferred from other places, and Su Mingzhe knew nothing about the specific mission.

Although they had their own comrades protecting them, the assassins were impossible to guard against, and they walked on thin ice the whole way.

Fortunately, before they arrived, Su Mingzhe had already revealed some basic information to Wang Fuquan, who then relayed it to them.

Honestly, Naoki Hase didn't care at all whether they were resistance fighters or not; he even hoped they were.

Only in this way can the other party continuously do business with him.

As for the series of subsequent problems it has caused?

Sorry, he doesn't care at all.
