Originally, Keita Harada's operation to infiltrate Taiyuan could not be participated by a half-time intelligence officer like Murao Gangada. However, among the lurking spots in Taiyuan, only the place of Songmu Trading Company was large enough, with an office building and a warehouse yard. It was the most suitable place for hiding people, and it was also The seven members of the action team can be dressed up as ordinary workers.
After Keita Harada led people to meet Mr. Gangada, they found that he was indeed a businessman. He was very polite in dealing with people and things. He had been operating in Taiyuan for many years and had many friends in the local area. This allowed the seven Japanese agents to be safe and sound. He hid in Taiyuan for more than a month.
However, Mr. Gangtian is not very good at gathering information. He only knows friends from the business world. He does not know much about the high-level figures in Taiyuan and lacks effective means of obtaining information. Therefore, he is basically blank about Zhou Wen's origins and whereabouts. Not to mention finding out about the situation of China's small special forces.
In fact, it's not Guangtian's fault. Zhou Wen's mercenary group is strictly kept secret from the outside world. Even the senior figures in the Taiyuan Appeasement Office who know about this unit are only the commander-in-chief and a few senior staff under him.
Ordinary officials only knew that there was a strong section chief named Zhou in the provincial party headquarters, and they would never associate him with the mysterious force that the Japanese were tracking everywhere.
And now that Sino-Japanese relations are so tense, it is impossible for Mr. Okada to get close to those low-level officials. Who is tired of living now to get close to the Japanese, although no counterintelligence agency has invited you to drink tea for the time being. , but it’s also easy to be looked down upon, isn’t it?
Even Harada Keita didn't criticize him too much for this. After all, Gangada was not a professional intelligence officer, and in a relatively remote city like Taiyuan, Japan's Special High-Tech did not have that many professional spies stationed there. It was just a precautionary measure that cast a wide net. At the peripheral intelligence point, it was not until two years ago that a rookie who had just graduated from intelligence school was sent to him as a dispatcher.
Therefore, Harada Keita felt that Mr. Gangada had done a good job. At least his action team was safe and sound after hiding in Taiyuan for more than a month. There were no setbacks, and he fed his seven people with good food and drink every day, which was almost the same. This is the most comfortable life I have had in the past few years.
If it hadn't been for the bad news that came from Shanghai T&T Technology a few days ago, that his superior, Takeo Nakata, and the other two action groups were wiped out during the operation in Nanjing, he would have begun to enjoy such a peaceful life.
The death of Takeo Nakata in battle brought not only grief and hatred to Keita Harada, but also an inexplicable fear.
What are Takeo Nakata's abilities? Are your tactical level and experience high? I'm afraid only Harada Keita knows it best now.
In the past few years, the action team led by Takeo Nakata has fought against Lao Maozi's intelligence organization in the ice and snow, confronted the British Intelligence Agency in the dense jungles of Southeast Asia, and even swept all intelligence agencies in the Northeast.
It was such an elite special agent team that had experienced hundreds of battles and the captain and unit chief who was omnipotent in their hearts. They were all killed in a single operation in Nanjing, and none of them escaped. It is said that they encountered They captured the mysterious small Chinese force and set up an ambush first, but they were all killed on the spot.
Even the captain died in the battle, but was the operation successful? Has the target been killed? How many casualties did the other side suffer? Shanghai Tech High-Tech will not say anything about these situations. Judging from Keita Harada's experience, I am afraid that Shanghai will also turn a blind eye and have no idea at all. This means that no one's own witnesses survived.
Thinking of this, Harada Keita felt a chill in his heart that kept freezing his heart.
Moreover, he had not received an order for him to lead his men to withdraw for several days, which confirmed his suspicion.
The Chinese officer is still alive, and so are his men, which raises a question: Even if he knows who the target is, can he complete the mission? Do you have this ability?
You must know that according to previous speculations from all aspects of intelligence compiled by T&G, Shanxi was the base camp of that army. Most of the team members were concentrated in Nanjing and the assassination operation failed, and it was even more difficult at their base camp.
Moreover, although Harada Keita is willing to be loyal to the emperor and sacrifice his life for the empire, their elite action team currently only has six people around him, and he also wants to leave some seeds for this special agent team.
Now that all the subordinates know the news that their beloved captain died in battle, this is not only a matter of hatred for them, but also a huge blow to their morale.
According to the psychological activity trajectory of ordinary people, after learning such bad news, they will first be shocked, then sad, and then anger and hatred. After a few days, I am afraid that some people will feel confused, shaken, afraid and other emotions. They knew that Takeo Nakata's image in the hearts of these people was so tall and his abilities were so extraordinary.
But when I think about the task that even the captain and most of the team members cannot complete, can a few of them do it?
That's why Harada Keita wanted to severely reprimand the subordinate named Ishii just now, just to dispel the wavering mentality that was constantly growing in their hearts.
However, even if he reprimanded him, he had lost confidence in his heart.
This is the biggest reason why Harada Keita has been depressed in recent days.
For Okada Murao, a half-time intelligence agent, he had been a marginalized figure for many years and was suddenly recognized and reused by the highest authority. Naturally, he wanted to use all his strength to complete the task. Little did he know that these imperial elites in his mind had appeared. In order to avoid being shaken, he is still working tirelessly to persuade Keita Harada.
"Harada-kun, it's better to wait patiently for a few more days. The higher-ups are also collecting intelligence from all parties. It's just that I didn't develop an informant in the Jin army back then. I don't know the situation of the army very well. Can you see if Yamano will be sent outside the city tomorrow? How many military camps should we visit?"
"No, Okada-kun, you have no experience in spying on military intelligence. There are some details that you cannot observe without training, and it is easy to expose the target."
"Then what should we do? Someone has to complete the tasks above."
"There's no rush. Taiyuan also has a sleeper team deployed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here. Maybe their intelligence network there will have some news. Let's wait a few days."
The eager villager Gangada could only suppress the fervent thoughts in his heart, drank the remaining wine in his glass and said, "Then we can only wait. It's getting late, Harada-kun, please rest."
…
After drinking, Keita Harada returned to the room, lay on the tatami and tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a drowsy sleep.
