After hearing Shinozuka's question, Xu San seemed to say something that seemed like nonsense without thinking, "The one who attacked us is Iga-ryu, led by the leader Hattori Hanzo!"
"Are you sure it's Iga-ryu?" Shinozuka asked in a solemn tone.
"Well, it should be certain, and their leader himself said that his name is Hattori Hanzo."
"Is there any other evidence?"
"I cut off one of Hanzo's arms and captured his saber. General Shinozuka, do you need to see it? If so, I'll get it right away."
Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "No! In fact, it doesn't matter whether you are a ninja or a bandit. What I care about is the people behind the scenes. What else do you think about this matter?"
Into the title.
Regarding this point, Xu San had already thought of an excuse.
"The information has been leaked!"
Xu San said and glanced at Yamamoto secretly. Although it was a secret glance, Xu San's movements were very obvious. As long as Shinozuka was not blind, he could see it.
"Oh~ you mean Colonel Yamamoto?" Shinozuka turned around and glanced at Yamamoto.
Facing the sudden and unreasonable disaster, Yamamoto was so frightened that his face suddenly turned pale.
His face was already ugly because of his injuries, and it became even worse due to the scare. At this moment, his face had become as pale as a zombie's.
But he didn't rush to explain.
He knew that the more he explained at this time, the easier it would be for Shinozuka to misunderstand.
Looking at Yamamoto's pale face, Xu San felt happy and thought to himself, this old cunt is also afraid.
It's a pity that Shinozuka is not a fool, otherwise he could kill the snake and take care of Yamamoto.
Xu San pretended not to look at Yamamoto and continued to answer Shinozuka's question, "I mean Yamamoto is the biggest suspect, but the suspect is usually not the real criminal. With in-depth investigation, the biggest suspect is usually eliminated. .”
"Huh~" Yamamoto exhaled and his expression softened a little.
Xu San's words caused a slight change in Shinozuka's expression. He seemed to agree with what Xu San said, "Your theory is quite interesting. If you think about it carefully, it does make sense. Is this what your teacher taught you?"
"That's right!"
"Your teacher is very talented. If I have the chance, I really want to meet him."
"If I have the chance, I will introduce you!"
"Let's continue talking about what you think about intelligence leakage. You are not from the military, but you are also a person involved. You should have your own opinions!" Shinozuka brought the topic back.
"This must start with the telegram." Xu San said, and paused, "Because we encountered the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, our communications soldier Okazaki Hayao also chose to pursue them because he did not obey military orders, and then disappeared! That's why I The telegram was sent in clear text.”
Xu San said this first because he wanted to take this opportunity to speak out first.
In this way, if Okazaki Kenchang wants to cause trouble for him in the future, he can pretend to be powerful and use Shinozuka as an example.
Sure enough, when he heard that he did not obey the military order, Shinozuka frowned and turned to look at Yamamoto, "Is this Hayao Okazaki also a member of the special operations team?"
"He is indeed a special operations team member, but he is new to the team! It may be because Xu Sanjun is Chinese, so he did not obey the command."
Shinozuka shook his head gently and said in a stern tone, "Yamamoto-kun, although the special forces team has been seriously damaged due to the battle, we cannot make up for the loss by recruiting new people."
"Hey! I will obey the instructions of His Majesty the General!" Yamamoto stood at attention!
Seeing that Yamamoto's attitude was good, Shinozuka turned to Xu San and said, "I know the situation you mentioned. The code words you used in the clear text are very interesting. If you weren't someone who knew about this mission, you would really be confused. .”
"You're right! So this intelligence leak can be narrowed down to a certain range." After speaking, Xu San looked at Yamamoto again.
Shinozuka smiled and looked at Kazuki Yamamoto along with Xu San, "So you suspect it is Colonel Yamamoto."
"I was suspicious at first, but I have known Colonel Yamamoto for many years and I know that he is loyal to the empire. Although he is stingy and loves money, he will never be tempted by this batch of gold. Moreover, he immediately received my request for help. Came here."
"Stingy? Love money?" Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto with interest and asked, "Is that so? My funds for the special operations team should be sufficient, right?"
"Er" Yamamoto rolled his eyes at Xu San and signaled to explain quickly.
"Ahem." Xu San coughed slightly, "I mean he is stingy with me, because every time I go to him to reimburse my travel expenses, it is very troublesome. If the procedures are not complete, I will not be able to reimburse, and then I have to pay for it myself. As for the love of money. . Let’s start with the cement factory. All the customers’ repayments are stuck in his hands. If I, the director of the factory, want to use some of it, it will take a lot of effort.”
Listening to Xu San's small report, Yamamoto's face turned red and white for a while, which was very unnatural.
"Haha, that's it! But the cement factory is none of my business. I can't control how Yamamoto-kun handles it! Xu Sanjun, let's continue talking about those ninjas."
"This time, the ninjas used about thirty people to ambush us. Most of them were genin and their combat effectiveness was very weak. So after we hit the mine, we immediately abandoned the vehicle and counterattacked! The normal battle lasted for more than an hour. For more than an hour, they have been lurking in the dark, carrying out cold shots and sneak attacks. Although the fighting was fierce, they never came to steal the car! If they snatched the car and escaped, we would not be able to catch up even if we wanted to. ." After saying this, Xu San looked at Shinozuka specifically, "General, do you know what this means?"
Shinozuka raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of the key to it. However, he did not immediately answer Xu San's words. Instead, he pondered for a while before saying, "Who else have you told this question to?"
"I didn't tell anyone!" After saying that, he looked at Yamamoto again.
"In this case, let's leave it at that! This batch of gold is classified from beginning to end and must not be mentioned to anyone!" Shinozuka said calmly.
"Hi!" Xu San nodded in agreement.
Yamamoto was confused, but he could hear some clues from Shinozuka's tone.
Based on his understanding of Shinozuka, he felt that his boss should now know who betrayed the information, and this person was likely to have a high official position, so he told Xu San that the gold matter was over.
The struggle at the top is cruel, and Yamamoto cannot participate in it, although he is very curious.
But, he knows.
The gold thing is over!
The rest of the things were not something he, as a colonel, could participate in.
The colonel seems to have a high military rank, but in the high-level game, he can only be regarded as a little shrimp. (End of chapter)
