"Report!"

"Come in."

Ji Shuang appeared in front of Meng Shaoyuan again, looking much darker and thinner.

This young man with a strong memory, liked to sing operas, and liked to say the lyrics in operas. His father's only wish during his lifetime was that he did not want him to be a spy anymore.

Unfortunately, Ji Shuang still violated his father's last wish.

"How is the situation in the concession?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

Ji Shuang straightened up: "Reporting to Director Meng, since the war broke out, the Japanese special agencies in the concession have been active frequently, and they have had several conflicts with us, but we have maintained restraint and have not caused any trouble."

In his heart, he has always been full of awe and admiration for Meng Shaoyuan, a young officer who is about the same age as himself.

Sometimes he often fantasizes about when he can achieve Director Meng's level?

"Ji Shuang, I have a task for you."

"yes."

"In your team, find two reliable confidants. Starting tomorrow afternoon, you don't have to do anything and you can secretly protect one person."

"Yes, may I ask Director Meng, who is he?"

"Namu Shitaka."

Ji Shuangyi was stunned, Japanese? However, Meng Shaoyuan's next words made him even more stunned: "I might as well tell you clearly that this person is also a Japanese ace agent."

ah?

Ji Shuang was stunned when he heard this.

Director Meng asked him to lead people to protect an ace agent in Japan?

What's the meaning?

Is there any big plan?

"If you find someone trying to assassinate him, immediately find ways to stop him." Meng Shaoyuan's tone was very serious: "He has a scrape of skin on his body, and I only ask you. In short, you have to treat him like a treasure, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Ji Shuang replied loudly, and then asked carefully: "Director Meng, who is this person? Why do we need to protect a Japanese agent like this?"

Meng Shaoyuan looked him up and down: "Ji Shuang, how many oceans do you think you are worth, including your skin and bones?"

Um?

What does this mean?

Ji Shuang was confused.

What does it mean to say how many oceans a whole person is worth?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Go ahead and ask Assistant Wu for the relevant information and take action immediately. Ah, by the way, from now on, the person you want to protect will be our internal codename, 'God of Wealth'."

Kusunoki Shitaka had a code name within the military system:

God of Wealth!

Isn’t he the God of Wealth?

The God of Wealth worth millions of yen!

More than half an hour later, Wu Jingyi walked in: "Yang Zhenhua is here."

"Please, please quickly."

This was the first time Yang Zhenhua met Meng Shaoyuan. Although both of them were lieutenant colonels and Yang Zhenhua was already in his forties, he still saluted as soon as he came in:

"Director Meng, Yang Zhenhua was ordered to report."

He must be so polite.

Although in terms of qualifications to join the spy organization, Yang Zhenhua is definitely the senior, but after so many years, he is still standing still at the position of lieutenant colonel.

Even the 78th Division couldn't stay any longer.

Meng Shaoyuan was different.

He is an upstart, Director Dai's favorite, he has been promoted and awarded honors, and when he arrived in Shanghai, he was still able to stand alone, rich and powerful. Such a person is definitely not comparable to Yang Zhenhua.

"Chief of Staff Yang, you're welcome." Meng Shaoyuan asked him to sit down.

Wu Jingyi poured the tea, then went out and closed the door.

"Chief of Staff Yang, time is urgent, so let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point." Meng Shaoyuan quickly got to the point: "When you were studying at the Japanese Military Academy, did you know a person named Kusunoki Shitaka?"

"Kusunoki Shitaka? I know him." Yang Zhenhua almost blurted out: "And I am very impressed by him. This person has average grades and is often reprimanded by our instructors. In Japan, the strong are respected and the weak are despised.

So Kusunoki Shitaka has never had many friends."

Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully.

This kind of environment can easily cause people to have extreme psychology in the future. It will make them eager to do big things to prove that they are not the incompetent person.

And people with this kind of personality are often the most likely to fall into serious trouble.

Seeing Yang Zhenhua stop, Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette: "Smoke, continue talking, be very careful and tell everything you know."

Yang Zhenhua was not polite, took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and took a puff: "Work hard, Nanmu is still very hardworking, but maybe it is limited by his talent, and the upper limit is there. Once, the sergeant academy advanced by one

We were notified every month that a practical test was to be conducted. Nanmu spent a month preparing carefully, and no one could match his hard work. Guess what? He actually got the second-to-last place in the exam, and the person who was first-to-last seems to be all over the place now.

Became a major general."

"Ah? The last one, Major General Cheng?" Meng Shaoyuan was confused.

"Yes, that person has a strong background. We in China pay great attention to family ties. Little Japan learns from our China in everything, and this is no exception. His ancestors started from the Tokugawa shogunate and became the Tokugawa family." Yang Zhenhua said.

Here, something suddenly seemed to come to mind: "By the way, this person is in Shanghai now, Asama Akutagawa."

"Who?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Akutagawa Asama of the Asama detachment?"

"Yes, Director Meng, do you know him?"

"Oh, I don't know him, I've heard of it." Meng Shaoyuan answered perfunctorily.

Haven't you seen this before?

After returning from investigating the information at Luodian, didn't Asama Akutagawa still interrogate himself?

No wonder he asked about the Gion Kaikan. Considering his status, he has been to it seriously, and he has been there quite a few times.

"Ah, Chief of Staff Yang, let's ignore Asama Akutagawa for now and continue talking about Kusunoki Shitaka."

"Sure." Yang Zhenhua continued: "Nanmu got second to last and cried for a few days. But, this person is not without merit. His language ability is relatively strong. At that time, many of us went to Japan to study abroad.

So he often asked Chinese classmates for Chinese lessons. My grades were not good at that time. Maybe he and I were in the same boat. He got closer to me and spent more time asking me for Chinese lessons. Gradually, the relationship between the two of us became closer.

stand up.

By the way, in addition to language skills, he has other strengths. He is very tough, able to endure hardships, and very stubborn. Once, the non-commissioned officer school wanted to expand its campus, so all the teachers and students in the school were asked to build small wooden huts for three people.

As a group, the time limit is seven days to complete.

Guess what? Nanmu didn't find anyone, he was all alone. No matter how much the instructor tried to persuade him, he promised to complete the task on time. Good guy, he only slept two or three hours a day during those seven days. When he opened his eyes,

He started working, and within the limited time, he really completed the task. But before the instructor could praise him, he fainted.

I think this is probably the main reason why he was able to graduate successfully later, right?"

A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's lips.

Perseverance and the ability to endure hardships are often complimentary words, but if you put them in a specific environment and a specific person, it changes the flavor.

The reason why Kusunoki Sanitaka wants to complete the workload of three people by himself is because no one is willing to cooperate with him. Everyone looks down on him, and he knows it himself, so he has low self-esteem.

Because of his inferiority complex, he wants to express himself well and let those who look down on him know they are wrong.

This experience in the sergeant academy has left a deep mark on his heart.

And for a person like him, this kind of character will stay with him for a lifetime.

He is withdrawn, stubborn, likes to be alone, does not trust his companions, only trusts his own judgment, and always likes to achieve great achievements to prove his excellence.

Failure will be his destined ending.

Historically, this was also the case. Whether in Shanghai or later Guangzhou, Kusunoki Shitaka always lived alone, and as a result suffered big losses one after another.

Especially in Shanghai, the Shanghai Special Agency did not even know that this person was coming.

Of course, what interested Meng Shaoyuan was also his superior.

What kind of role is his superior? He actually trusts Kusunoki Sanitaka so much and gives him so much power?

Maybe, a pig head like him?

Anyway, according to the knowledge Meng Shaoyuan possesses, in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese secret service had a total of two "idiot-level" agents. One was Kusunoki Shitaka who was about to arrive in Shanghai, and the other was currently in Wuhan.

If Kusunoki Sanitaka just has a paranoid personality that makes him make mistakes again and again, then that buddy in Wuhan is really an idiot.

"Chief of Staff Yang, I understand the general situation." Meng Shaoyuan mused: "I can tell you that Kusunoki Shitaka will arrive in Shanghai soon."

"What, he is coming to Shanghai?" Yang Zhenhua was startled: "I heard that he later became an agent and has been operating in North China, Inner Mongolia, and Northeast China. He has also killed many of our agents?"
