Chapter 640 Li Zuping Captures the Red Party
Takeda Nobuo was stunned by Doju's words.
Doiyuan stood up and said, "The Hundred Man Plan was designed by me personally. I am only responsible to the Army Department. Even the Chinese Expeditionary Force has no right to make a request for awakening."
"Unless it is signed by five or more military attachés from the mainland's Army Department and the Minister of War."
"Otherwise, the decision of whether to wake them up is mine, not yours."
Takeda Nobuo's face darkened and he said, "General, this operation is related to whether the 11th Army can successfully capture Changsha."
"Now is not the time for you to show sympathy for your subordinates. All the imperial soldiers have been ready to devote everything to the cause of the empire since the moment they set foot on Chinese territory."
"I know that the general is known for his kindness and righteousness, but you can't be so selfish and only consider them and not the empire."
Doiyuan looked at Takeda Nobuo and said calmly: "I don't care how others evaluate me."
"But, Takeda-kun, you are not qualified enough to judge me."
"Go back and tell Staff Officer Abe that I don't agree with this matter for the time being."
"If the war reaches a certain point and they really need to make sacrifices, I will not hesitate at all, but as it stands now, the time is not right."
"You..." Takeda Nobuo stood up angrily and said, "Master Doi-Yuan, I think it would be better for you to explain this matter to Master Abe yourself."
"Farewell..."
Shanghai, Agent 76 Headquarters,
Li Qun seemed a little absent-minded sitting in the office.
The reason why he was in a bad mood was actually very simple: he felt that he had fallen out of favor.
In the past, Li Qun had the final say in No. 76, but it is different now.
Several operations failed in succession, the most recent of which was Lin Zhuo being assassinated by the Military Control Commission. These failures greatly reduced Chen Yang's impression of him.
Dingcun also took the opportunity to share power.
Originally, Ding Cun had no power in No. 76, but after hooking up with Wan Tianmu, the two of them gradually gained some say.
Moreover, Ding Cun was the director of the Third Division of the Party Affairs Investigation Section after all, and his connections in Jinling were much better than Li Qun's.
Not to mention anything else, the people in the Shanghai City Hall gave him a lot of face.
Although the power of No. 76 is still in Li Qun's hands, he is not at ease.
If Ding Village continues to be in such a mess, it will be hard to say who will be in charge of No. 76 in the future.
"Director, good news, good news." The office door was not closed, and Li Zuping from the action team rushed in anxiously.
"Team Leader Li, you've been at No. 76 for so long and you still haven't learned any manners?"
Li Qun said with some displeasure: "Don't you know you should knock on the door before entering?"
Huh? Li Zuping was stunned. It seemed that Director Li was in a bad mood.
"I'm sorry, Director," Li Zuping hurriedly handed over the arrest report in his hand and said, "I was too excited and lost my composure. I will pay more attention next time."
Seeing the other party's attitude, Li Qun expressed his satisfaction. He then slowly picked up the arrest report and began to read it.
"You caught the Red Party's underground liaison?" Li Qun was overjoyed when he saw the record above.
Not long ago, Lieutenant Colonel Kenichi Koizumi of the Special High Section came to No. 76 and asked them to help arrest the Red Party.
Originally thought that this operation would start off well but end badly, unexpectedly, just two days later, Li Zuping actually caught the other party's courier.
Li Qun suddenly felt as surprised as if he had picked up a box of gold on the road.
"That's right, Director Li. When we were checking suspicious people on Pingyang Road, we accidentally caught this Red Party member named Wang Bao."
Li Zuping was also very excited. He checked the suspicious targets and caught a Red Party member.
This luck seemed to be like finding a needle in a haystack, but fortunately, he actually found it.
"Well done. Where is the person? Has he been interrogated?" Li Qun suddenly became impatient.
Li Zuping said: "Adjutant Tan has been taken away for interrogation."
"Those who returned from studying in Japan should have some skills that we don't know about. It's time to let them show them."
Li Qun rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Team Leader Li, you go and watch him in person. Make sure you pry open his mouth in the shortest possible time."
"The information these traffic officers have is time-sensitive."
"If we don't get what we want soon, I'm worried that even after a day, the information they give us will be worthless."
Li Zuping saluted and said, "Don't worry, Director Li, we will definitely get the confession as soon as possible."
Before I knew it, the night was already deep.
Li Qun sat in the office and would look up at the office door from time to time. Just as he was becoming increasingly disappointed, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.
Li Zuping ran in excitedly with an interrogation report.
"Director. Good news. Wang Bao is here to flirt."
"Really?" Li Qun jumped up upon hearing this and took the confession from Li Zuping's hand.
"Team Leader Li, is there any problem with your confession?"
Li Qun looked through the confession, still looking somewhat uneasy.
The previous Red Party leader, Wang Tiankui, code-named Green Fox, gained their trust with a false confession.
If Minister Chen had not had the foresight, they would have almost been played as fools by Nan Tianyunzi.
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Li Qun was also afraid that the confession of the courier Wang Bao was not entirely true.
Li Zuping was very confident and said confidently: "Director Li, don't worry, this Wang Bao is just a novice."
"According to his account, this is his second mission and he hasn't learned how to bluff yet."
After hearing what Li Zuping said, Li Qun felt relieved and read the confession carefully.
The courier caught by Li Zuping today is indeed a rookie.
His name was Wang Bao, a student of East Asia Tongwen College. In 1938, he joined the Red Party and became a propagandist.
At first, his job was to write propaganda slogans and post big-character posters, and cooperate with the Propaganda Department to promote the spirit of the Red Party in the college.
It was not until May this year that Wang Bao graduated with excellent grades and joined the Shanghai Workers' Daily as a reporter.
The organization believed that his identity was very suitable for being a courier, so after a period of observation, he was officially promoted to courier.
This liaison operation was his second after becoming a courier.
It was also because of his lack of experience that Li Zuping discovered the flaw when he was being interrogated.
"Director, according to Wang Bao's instructions, he will meet with another Red Party member codenamed 'White Eyebrow' at Tianhu Hotel tomorrow and bring back the intelligence he has received."
"Based on my experience with the Red Party and its recent actions, I suspect that the information in White Eyebrow's hands must be related to the funds raised by the Red Party recently."
The third update is done. Hello handsome guys and beautiful girls, please give me some gifts.
