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

After returning to headquarters, Watanabe Kazuya was hailed as a hero and was idolized by a group of young agents who had just joined the Special Higher Police.

When Colonel Kurokawa, dressed in a crisp military uniform, solemnly and personally conferred the rank of captain upon Watanabe Kazuya, the scene was even more solemn and enthusiastic.

The medals gleamed under the lights, and the moment the brand-new epaulets were put on his shoulders, Watanabe Kazuya seemed to be coated with a dazzling radiance. Surrounded by the crowd, he stood in the center of the auditorium, instantly becoming the center of attention.

Whenever he appears, the young agents unconsciously cast respectful glances at him and take the initiative to salute him. He is already showing signs of becoming a leader of the new generation.

In fact, behind this glamour lies a scandalous affair that no one knows about.

Upon returning to headquarters, Watanabe Kazuya meticulously crafted his own "heroic story."

He shamelessly attributed all the achievements that the eyebrow-painting team had gone through, risking their lives, to himself.

Not satisfied with that, he fabricated a thrilling "heroic deed" of breaking into enemy territory alone amidst a hail of bullets and subduing multiple enemy agents with one hand.

Each time he recounted the story, he would deliberately roll up his sleeves to reveal the scar on his left arm, pat his chest, and assert with certainty that it was proof of his battle, leaving the unsuspecting young agents stunned and filled with even greater admiration for him.

They even swore a solemn oath that the Japanese would not lie to the Japanese.

Colonel Kurokawa initially felt that Watanabe was exaggerating, but after hearing what he said, he was instantly convinced.

Watanabe-kun is indeed a great talent. Fortunately, I had the discerning eye to recognize his worth. He truly deserves to be my outstanding student!

As for Watanabe Kazuya?

Anyway, he has already renounced his Japanese citizenship.

Nothing to worry about.

Since being turned by Su Mingzhe, he has come to a realization and his entire being has been elevated.

Substance is more important than face; it's better to live well than to die a miserable death.

He has just returned to headquarters, mainly to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment and his new job duties.

Watanabe Kazuya used to be a rat hiding in the dark sewers, but now he has finally seen the sunlight.

In today's Shanghai, various forces are intertwined, making it quite difficult to maneuver among them.

Kazuya Watanabe's primary goal right now is to make money.

For a Special Higher Police agent like him with some status, as long as the bottom line is low enough, money comes incredibly fast.

Coincidentally, Watanabe Kazuya has a very low bottom line.

The way to make money is by selling intelligence.

There's no need to steal it; just sell the intelligence he has to the British, French, and Americans, and they'll be happy to pay a good price.

Then, use the money earned from reselling intelligence to buy a few copies of the intelligence dealers' stock, and present them as his achievements in coming to Shanghai.

In this way, the credit will be in our hands, right?

Then he used this money to pave the way for his own career, binding a group of Special Higher Police chiefs and even people from the military to his cause.

Watanabe Kazuya fantasized about his wonderful future life, rubbed his hands together, then picked up his pen and wrote down all the information about his old rival, Muto Jiro, along with a simple portrait.

Ever since he saw Su Mingzhe painting, he has been learning from him and has been sketching whenever he has free time.

After six months of practice, his portraits were already eight or nine parts similar to the real people.

I heard this guy is lurking in Nanjing?

Heh, I hope the Americans will like this painting.

They could make several times their initial investment simply by reselling the goods to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department or the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

It's a win-win situation: you get revenge and make money at the same time. Why not?

......

Su Mingzhe took a sip of coffee and picked up the newspaper to read.

He used to read newspapers, and ever since he made contact with Sun Yang, he has been buying a copy of the "Chang'an Daily" every day to see if there are any coded messages left between him and Sun Yang.

However, Sun Yang has not contacted him proactively during this long period of time.

That's a good thing, it proves that there's nothing urgent right now.

Picking up the newspaper, Su Mingzhe glanced at it. The headline on the front page was that all the Japanese spy teams in the Chang'an area had been wiped out.

They even made a point that all the credit for this achievement came from Chang'an Station, which really made the stationmaster proud.

This news item occupied a quarter of the entire newspaper, demonstrating the importance the newspaper attached to it.

It is said that not only the Chang'an Daily, but all newspapers published this news at the same time, all as the front page headline.

They even thoughtfully included a picture of the execution of a Japanese spy.

But why does this picture look so familiar?

Su Mingzhe frowned slightly and looked closely. This was the scene of the public execution of Japanese spies a few months ago.

It's just that the photo was taken from a different angle, and Su Mingzhe almost didn't notice.

It has to be said that these newspaper reporters are really quite skilled.

The angle is tricky.

Just then, there was a knock on Su Mingzhe's office door.

Before Su Mingzhe could reply, the door was pushed open, and the stationmaster walked in, holding a newspaper in his hand.

The station manager glanced at Su Mingzhe's desk and, seeing that he also had a copy, said:

"Mingzhe, you've all seen the newspapers, haven't you? Our Chang'an Station has achieved something unprecedented, making us look good and gaining a lot of prestige. The Jinling Bureau has even allocated us a large sum of money."

This greatly pleased Boss Dai, who called it the biggest blow to Japanese spies and a historic turning point for the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

This is a very high evaluation, and the website owner is very pleased with it.

Although he wasn't exactly a vain person, who doesn't like to hear compliments?

This advertisement was published in all newspapers nationwide, and was personally selected by Boss Dai.

Even if there were no more Japanese spies in Chang'an, there would still be other Japanese spies in Shaanxi Province who would leak intelligence.

So, I decided to use it for advertising.

Unexpectedly, the response was particularly strong, especially among the younger generation, with a surge in the number of people joining the military.

The Military Intelligence Investigation Department was praised to the skies, while the Party Affairs Investigation Department was criticized to the point of questioning its very existence.

Without comparison, there is no harm done; the Military Intelligence Investigation Division's achievements are too outstanding, while the Party Affairs Investigation Division appears too mediocre.

Their relationship is either one where the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or vice versa.

However, the stationmaster changed the subject and continued:

"Mingzhe, the Japanese biological warfare unit's journey to Fujian Province has just been intercepted. They are heading through Lushun Port, and it will take them another half a month to reach them."

Boss Dai took this matter very seriously after learning about it, and took the opportunity of our meritorious service to report it to his superiors, but his suggestion was rejected.

Currently, Mr. Dai is still making further efforts.

Upon hearing the stationmaster's words, Su Mingzhe knew that there was almost no chance of turning things around.

Executing a few Japanese spies is a minor matter, but if the army is involved, that's a different story.

Japan never even considered coming to the negotiating table; they're about to flip the table.

If this road is blocked, then try another one.

In any case, they will never be able to set foot in Fujian Province in their lifetime.
