Shanghai.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao has been sitting there quietly for several hours.
After Tojo Hideki became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he believed that Kage Sasaki made too many concessions in the negotiations with Wang Jingwei, and that the intelligence work in Shanghai was not going well, so he decided to transfer him and serve as the commander of the Seventh Artillery Force in Northern Manchuria.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao knew that his intelligence career was over.
He will take the failure to the city of Shanghai immediately.
From the day he took over from Kenji Doihara as the head of the Japanese Army's Shanghai Secret Service, intelligence work in Shanghai has never been carried out smoothly.
Repeated failures brought him humiliation again and again.
In the intelligence community, he has become almost a joke.
Some people even secretly gave him a nickname:
"Loser" Ying Zuo.
This is a shame that an intelligence officer will never be able to wash away in his lifetime!
He came with great pride, but left with endless regrets.
But his failure created another person's fame.
that person:
Meng Shaoyuan!
The public enemy of Japan, the most powerful agent on the surface, the invisible warrior, and the undefeated tiger of the empire!
Everything was brought to him by the enemy!
Yingzuo Zhenzhao knew that he had no chance of revenge.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Agency."
Hikaru Hahara opened the door and walked in.
"It's Hahara-kun, please sit down." Kage Sasaki said with a smile on his face: "You don't need to call me the agency chief anymore. The new agency chief will take office soon."
"No." Koichi Hahara said, "As long as you are still in Shanghai, you will always be the head of the agency."
"Thank you, Hahara-kun." Kagezuo Zhenzhao felt a little relieved.
Koichi Hahara is the most valuable asset left to him by his predecessor, Kenji Doihara.
"Please sit down, Hahara-kun, what can I do?"
"Yes."
Koichi Hahara held a thick stack of information in his hand: "The China Army formed an expeditionary force and has sent troops to Burma, and exchanged fire with the Empire's 55th Division in Tonggu."
Kage Sasaki glanced at Koichi Hahara and found that his eyes were dark: "It's been another few days of selfless work. You haven't had a good rest, right? Tell me what you found."
"Meng Shaoyuan, in Tonggu!"
"What!"
Yingzuo Zhenzhao's expression changed instantly.
This was the name he least wanted to hear.
"Yes, based on the comprehensive intelligence from all aspects, I can conclude so."
Hahara Koichi said with great certainty: "Moreover, in Tonggu, he repeatedly defeated the 55th Division's plans and played a decisive role in the China Army!"
Yingzuo Zhenzhao looked at him: "What do you think?"
"Your Excellency, with all due respect, the intelligence work of our Burmese Army is extremely confusing. During the battle with Tonggu, we didn't even know that our opponent had changed from the British to the Chinese Army. This chaotic situation will only be detrimental to the war situation. "
Hahara Koichi said slowly: "In Tonggu, the blood of five thousand imperial warriors spilled on the battlefield can be seen as the bravery of the Chinese army, but it can also be seen as the failure of our intelligence work.
The 55th Division organized two task forces in succession in an attempt to infiltrate Tonggu, but both ended in failure. If I had been more prepared, I think failure might have been avoided.
Looking at the entire Myanmar battlefield, the efficiency of intelligence work is shockingly low. Myanmar is adjacent to China and Yunnan, and its geographical location is extremely important. It is a battleground between Japan and China. Therefore, I request to work in Myanmar! "
Yingzuo Zhenzhao was silent for a while, and then said:
"Hahara-kun, you still can't let go of that person, right?"
That person is talking about Meng Shaoyuan!
"I can't let him go, I haven't even forgotten him for a day." Koichi Hahara said frankly: "I suffered defeat at his hands again and again. This is the tragedy of an imperial soldier.
He is my enemy, but in a way, he is also my teacher. From him, I learned a lot. And my ultimate goal is to completely defeat this teacher.
Your Excellency, your opponent must choose the strong one. He and I must be lifelong enemies. During the time when he was not in Shanghai, I missed him very much, thinking about him every day! "
Yingzuo Zhenzhao understood his feelings: "Being able to defeat Meng Shaoyuan may be the dream of all of us."
"In Japanese intelligence agencies, there is a saying that if there is a way to kill Meng Shaoyuan, what is this way? I think I will definitely find the answer!"
"I understand your ambitions." Yingzuo Zhenzhao was thinking there: "But if you go to Myanmar, it is no better than Shanghai, and you will lose a lot of support."
"I don't care, no matter how difficult the conditions are, as long as I can stand face to face with Meng Shaoyuan again and challenge him one, ten, or a hundred times, I will be satisfied."
"If you really decide, I will fully assist you." Yingzuo Zhenzhao made up his mind: "There is also a lot of dissatisfaction with the intelligence work in Southeast Asia within the empire. The military commander has set up many intelligence points in Southeast Asia, but our Work progressed slowly.
We and the United States are competing for control of the Pacific. The imperial army is overwhelming in Southeast Asia. Intelligence work must keep up to prepare for better rule there in the future.
Therefore, the military is preparing to select a group of outstanding talents to go to Southeast Asia to rebuild the intelligence system there. What conditions do you fully meet? Moreover, the commander of the 55th Division, His Excellency Takekita, is also a good friend of mine. "
He thought about it for a while: "You go back and prepare, select a group of elite personnel from Shanghai, and prepare to go to Myanmar. I will use my connections to establish a new Yun-Myanmar secret service, with you as the director."
Han Yuanguang was stunned: "I'm afraid I can't bear this important responsibility."
"Habara-kun, now is not the time to be humble." Kage Sasaki's tone was solemn: "As an imperial officer, you must shoulder heavy responsibilities!"
"Hai!"
"Also, I will immediately send a report to the bamboo cabinet, requesting his full assistance." Yingzuo Zhenzhao thought up all the plans in the shortest time:
"When you arrive in Myanmar, you will be responsible for all intelligence work in Yunnan and Myanmar, assist the 55th Division, and establish a complete intelligence system. Although I will be transferred to Northern Manchuria, if my help is needed, I think I can still find a way."
Koichi Hahara stood up and bowed deeply: "Your Excellency, thank you for your support. Hahara will go all out to fulfill your request."
"Habara-kun." Kage Sasaki also stood up and bowed in the same way: "Please. After we say goodbye, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again. Please take care!"
"Take care, Your Excellency, Agency Chief! We will definitely meet again." Koichi Hahara said loudly.
These two leaders in Japan's intelligence agencies, for some reason, spoke with a sense of sadness at this moment.
Perhaps, this is the same as Japan's current situation. Although it seems that it has the upper hand militarily, the fate of failure cannot be reversed!
