The Japanese secret service in Shanghai has lost face this time.

Originally, Yoshikawa Gomen was killed in full view of the public, which had already caused them to become a mess.

Special envoy Itanai Yasuhide arrived in Shanghai, but Meng Shaoyuan used a trick to rob Chang Yuqing, Hou Qunfeng and Xin Zhuangwen.

Where does this put the face of the Japanese secret service?

Now, they have to worry about the safety of the special envoy.

There is nothing that Meng Shaoyuan cannot do.

Do you think it was hidden very deeply?

He can also dig you out.

Do you think it’s foolproof?

In his eyes, your deployment is full of flaws!

Meng Shaoyuan, the "public enemy of Japan", has cast a deep shadow on them.

Fortunately, Yasuhide Ituchi did not pursue any responsibility for this accident.

"What has happened has happened, and everyone is responsible, including me."

This is what Yasuhide Ituchi said.

"No, General, it's all our responsibility." Tanishihara said hurriedly.

"What your Excellency the General means is that if the information is not strictly sealed to the outside world to protect him, the enemy will not take advantage of it." Hanbara Koichi said on the side.

"Asshole!" Matsumoto Nitsugi was furious: "How dare you say that to the General!"

"No, Mr. Matsumoto, don't be angry." Itauchi Yasuhide didn't seem to care much: "When an accident occurs, we must carefully examine what went wrong. Before I came to Shanghai, I was relatively optimistic about the situation.

But now it seems that the situation in Shanghai is very complicated. Hahara-kun, tell me all your thoughts."

Mitsuichi Hahara is a major. This time he is lucky enough to be personally called by Yasuhide Ituchi to attend the meeting. He will never give up such an opportunity:

"One of the mistakes we made was always thinking about what we thought and how we arranged it. From our own standpoint, we thought that the arrangements were perfect, but we never thought about it from the enemy's standpoint.

For example, this time, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the General, all protective agents were transferred from other places to block information from the outside world. The agents from the navy, army, and consulate could not get in touch with us at all. And what about us? We don’t know what is happening in the outside world.

.

Therefore, the enemy has keenly grasped this point, and everyone regards protecting the safety of His Excellency the General as the first priority. However, our biggest enemy, Meng Shaoyuan, does not want to assassinate His Excellency the General at all..."

He quietly observed Itanai Yasuhide and found that the general listened very carefully, which also made him bolder:

"It's like a man who is covered in hard armor and looks indestructible. But what about his opponent? Instead of fighting him head-on, he kills his helpers one by one and kills his horse.

Steal his weapon. When it comes to the final battle, what can the armor protect? You will only face failure!

We must admit that Meng Shaoyuan is indeed a very powerful person. However, is there something wrong with us internally, and we have handed many opportunities to him? A person locks himself in a room, and no one can get in. People outside think

There is no way to tell you anything, it’s stupid!”

"Major Koichi Hahara, you are too bold!" Matsumoto Nitsugi's expression turned gloomy. "You are an officer of the empire. Are you implying that we are all stupid?"

"Matsumoto-kun, don't get excited. Sometimes the truth can be so hurtful." Itauchi Yasuhide sighed: "Everyone is flattering and no one dares to speak out about the problem. That will not make us progress.

.

The empire occupied Shanghai and Nanjing, and it was unstoppable. So we thought that occupying the whole of China was just a matter of course. It was this mentality that caused us to suffer a huge defeat in Xuzhou.

The same is true for the military, and so is the intelligence agency. Stupid? Yes, stupid. We all think we are smart people? How could a truly smart person fail again and again? How could he suddenly find a strong enemy in front of him?

Meng Shaoyuan? Public enemy of Japan? I remember he also has a nickname, ‘China’s Strongest Agent’. I suggest giving him a nickname, ‘The Strongest Agent on the Surface’!”

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

The most powerful agent on the planet?

Isn't this too much?

"Hahara-kun, do you understand my intention?" Itauchi Yasuhide asked immediately.

"Your Excellency General, I understand your painstaking efforts."

Hanbara Koichi immediately said: "The strongest agent on the surface, Meng Shaoyuan! For the Japanese Empire, it is a shame to admit that the enemy is far stronger than us, but it is also an inspiration! We are all wearing one now

Hat, shameful hat, when can I knock him down, when can I take off this shameful hat!"

"Your Excellency, General." Yuandao Tan said carefully: "I understand your painstaking efforts, but calling him that would have a great impact on our morale and confidence."

"can you?"

Itauchi Yasuhide said slowly: "In the Battle of Shanghai, the Chinese army took the lead in taking the offensive, but they suffered a heavy blow from us. After that, they regarded the imperial army as their most powerful enemy. Especially after we captured China

After the capital, this intention became more obvious. They put themselves in the position of the weak, and they adjusted their tactics in time. Therefore, we had the defeat of Xuzhou, and the enemy made progress in defeat!

Why can't we regard ourselves as weak? Why can't China's agents be stronger than us? What does the victory of the army on the battlefield have to do with us? Does the strength of the army represent our strength?

Is there anyone who can't accept the title of the most powerful agent on the surface? It doesn't matter, a person who cannot let go of his status cannot make progress, and such people will be eliminated sooner or later."

This sentence has already given a strong hint to Matsumoto Nitsugi and Tanishigehara Michichi.

"Hahara-kun, continue."

"Yes." With the encouragement from His Excellency the General, Hahara Koichi's confidence greatly increased: "Another problem we have is that we are not united internally, which also gives Meng Shaoyuan an opportunity to take advantage of."

There was silence.

Everyone knew he was talking about the conflict between the Army and the Navy.

Within the Japanese army, there is a saying:

The army eats grass and the navy eats curry.

During the shogunate period in Japan, the two feudal clans, Choshu Domain and Satsuma Domain, could be said to be old enemies.

They don't want to make each other feel better, so they fight every day.

Although both the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain later submitted to the Emperor of Japan and stood by the Emperor's side, the original contradictions still existed. Even after they submitted to the Empress, they both restrained themselves slightly, but they still looked down upon each other.

Later, the troops of the Choshu Domain became the Japanese Army, while the troops of the Satsuma Domain mainly became the navy.

Therefore, the Japanese military has become two distinct factions, which is why the Japanese navy and army have such deep conflicts.

The army was almost all from the Choshu clan, and the navy was mainly from the Satsuma clan.

The two vassals originally had a fierce competitive relationship. After they formed their own armies, apart from the original grudges, there was also competition in all aspects of supplies, so both sides regarded each other as their biggest competitors.

This contradiction has been going on for a long time, and no one can change the status quo.

Therefore, Yasuhide Ituchi also felt a little helpless: "Hahara-kun, let's put this matter aside for now and tell us what specific ideas you have."

"Meng Shaoyuan, through an intermediary, made a request to us for the exchange of captured agents." Koichi Hahara said immediately: "We captured an agent lurking in the consulate, Chen Rongyang, who was Meng Shaoyuan's classmate in Hangzhou. Meng Shaoyuan promised to use three of us

I think it is feasible to bring in captured agents to exchange for Chen Rongyang."

"What? That's too much!" This time, Guangze Boman, who had never spoken, expressed his dissatisfaction: "It's so outrageous, you actually want to let Chen Rongyang go? Don't forget, he is Meng Shaoyuan's classmate.

He has huge utilization value, General, I firmly oppose it."

"So what?"

Koichi Hahara said calmly: "Meng Shaoyuan has many classmates at the Hangzhou Police Academy. Even if we arrest them all, what impact will it have on him? Chen Rongyang doesn't have much use value, and he can't even hand over more information. Continue

Holding on to him will serve no other purpose than consuming our food."

Itauchi Yasuhide couldn't help but ask: "But what's the benefit to us if we let him go? Is it just to exchange for three agents?"

"No, Your Majesty General, the advantages of releasing Chen Rongyang outweigh the disadvantages." Koichi Hahara actually smiled: "According to the information we currently have, Chen Rongyang is under the command of Cheng Yiming, Secretary of the Military Command's Shanghai latent area. Don't we find it strange that Cheng Yiming is an agent?

After being caught, he never carried out any rescue, but Meng Shaoyuan was actively working there?

I imagined a possibility. Meng Shaoyuan used Cheng Yiming's latent agents without authorization, adding another credit to his credit book. Will this cause Cheng Yiming's dissatisfaction? After Chen Rongyang is released, who should he report to? Whether it is

How should Cheng Yiming or Meng Shaoyuan treat this person? How to mediate the problems between them?

Remember what I just said about our internal contradictions? Our contradictions have been well exploited by the Chinese, but what about the contradictions between the Chinese? Can’t we take advantage of it? Imagine if the so-called military unified the three giants in Shanghai

There is a huge conflict between them, so is there an excellent opportunity for us?"

"Hahara-kun, everything you said is just an assumption." Matsumoto Hitoshi said coldly: "Is Chen Rongyang the situation you said? Will there be a conflict between Cheng Yiming and Meng Shaoyuan over an agent? You don't have any

evidence of."

"Matsumoto-kun." Itauchi Yasuhide waved his hand: "No one can determine whether something can succeed, but if you don't even have the courage to try, it is destined to fail. Hahara-kun, I agree with your plan!"
