Chapter 567 Such an Excellent Man Is Not Allowed to Exist

"かんぱい~!"

(Japanese cheers)
In the private room of a Japanese food restaurant in the Japanese gathering area of ​​Hongkou, Iwai, the intelligence chief of the Shanghai Consulate, Ryosuke Hase of the Special Advanced Section, and many secret agents sat around a long table and toasted.

Everyone gulped down the sake in their cups, closed their eyes and let out a refreshing breath. The high-grade sake tasted smooth and smelled refreshing, making people want to drink a second cup.

Seeing this, several waitresses quickly filled the wine glasses for the guests. They were dressed in traditional kimonos and sat kneeling on the ground.

This scene was so exciting that a few young people in the crowd couldn't help but sneak a few glances, swallowed subconsciously, their faces turned extremely red instantly, and hot air came out of their nostrils.

Hase Ryosuke and Iwai clinked glasses, secretly laughing in their hearts, these bumpkins who have never seen the world, their faces turn red after eating, and they don't know what they will look like when they go to a nightclub.

Fortunately, they were brought here in advance to adapt, otherwise they would lose face to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if they were seen by those good bastards in the navy. It seems that young people still need to exercise more.

"Clang~clang~"

Chang Gu tapped the wine glass to attract everyone's attention, and then looked at those men who were ruthless but not daring, and raised his arms to put his arms around the waitress beside him, showing a refined smile.

"Mr. Toyota, you have just arrived at the consulate from the mainland, so you must adapt as soon as possible. The situation in Shanghai is more complicated, and there are mixed forces from all sides. You must be flexible in doing things, and you can't act on the spur of the moment.

After all, this is the territory of the Chinese. We must be pragmatic. People who hold themselves high will not go far. As long as you obey the orders well, the Minister and I will not treat you badly. "

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and chatted with Iwai in a low voice, observing everyone's reactions from the corner of his eye, if anyone was ignorant of current affairs, they had to be removed from the special high school as soon as possible, so as not to damage their business.

Besides, the people present were all terrified when they heard the words, and any fool could hear the meaning of beating, wooing, and warning in these words, which were specifically reflected in the four words "flexible" and "obedience".

flexible.

These two words mean that the things done by the Ministry of Intelligence may touch or even violate the regulations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As for the reason, it may be for public or private reasons. In short, there is a certain risk.

obey.

Who do you obey? Naturally, they will not treat their Minister Iwai and Section Chief Hase badly. Today's banquet is not delicious. To use a Chinese word to describe it is a Hongmen banquet, and we need to stand in line.

The long table was quiet for a few seconds. The old spies who had benefited a long time ago smiled slightly, and skillfully held the waiter in their arms and drank the wine. Why didn't they accept the kindness of the two immediate superiors.

In this situation, cold sweat kept breaking out on the foreheads of several newcomers. After a while, someone finally couldn't resist the tremendous pressure, imitating the way of the seniors, leaning nervously towards the woman beside him.

There is a leader in everything, and the rest will be easy to handle. It is said that it is not easy to learn, but it is easy to slip away after learning badly. This is true, and the private room is filled with a happy atmosphere in a short time.

"On a spring day, tall buildings and moonlit nights,

"Feast in Huatang"

"Cups and cups intertwine with each other,

“Wine Floods”

"Yoshi Hase, Section Chief"

The humming and applause of the folk song "Moon of the Deserted City" came faintly from the Japanese grocery store, floating over the quiet street, and the Japanese people who came and went stopped one after another to listen to the voice of their hometown quietly.

In a small alley, Takashi Ikuta in the car had his ears pricked up, with a strange expression on his face. He didn't expect Ryosuke Hase to sing, and he sang so well, damn it!
Looks better than myself.

Ability is stronger than oneself.

There are more banknotes than yourself.

This person must not stay, in case the other party is favored by those noble girls in Tokyo, he must be a strong enemy. In the consulate in Shanghai, no, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not allow such an outstanding man to exist.

"Guru~"

But the sudden loud noise in his stomach interrupted his thinking. In the dark, Takashi Ikuta blushed, coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, looked at his watch and said seriously to the short eyeliner.

"You go buy some food and come back as soon as possible."

"Hay."

The short one bowed his head and replied respectfully, without moving his body, he stretched out his hands happily and raised them above his head, waiting for the other party's reward, thinking about how much the son-in-law of the Matsumoto family would give him.

This is an open unspoken rule. When the superiors let the subordinates do things, they will always give a little more money to buy people's hearts. As the other party, they have to give tens of yen anyway, and he can keep at least half of it.

"Why don't you go?"

But after waiting for a long time, the reward didn't arrive, but there was a scolding. The short man blinked his eyes, his face was full of puzzlement, why the situation was different from what he imagined, and what went wrong.

Seeing his subordinates still sitting there stupidly, Takashi Ikuta urged, "Hurry up, I need food, go buy some Chinese pan-fried buns, by the way, remember to ask the boss to send more seasonings."

Oh?
The short guy understands that the other party is not going to give money, and the dignified class leader doesn't even pay for food. This kind of superior is worth following, and he wants to leave immediately.

However, Takashi Ikuta was educated by his father-in-law, a big capitalist, and his skill in painting cakes is very good. When he sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately said to the short man in a haughty tone.

"When Ryosuke Hase is driven away, I think you have the ability to take over the position of chief of the secret service, and then you can live a luxurious life. The Matsumoto family will not spare money for their loyal subjects.

But the premise is that you have to know how to give and be grateful. How can a person who easily asks for benefits from the Patriarch take on the big responsibility? As a person, you must take a longer view and not be short-sighted. "

In the end, Ikuta Takashi imitated his father-in-law when he met his subordinates, and patted each other's shoulder affectionately. He seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, and he had the courage to plan a strategy and win a thousand miles.

At the same time, his other hand tightly clutched the wallet in his pocket, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If he let the other party know his real situation, he might lose his only subordinate.

In fact, the short guy doesn't really believe in these beautiful imaginations. There is also a minister of the Ministry of Intelligence, Iwai, so why can't a deputy minister give orders, but what if this happens?
Wealth is in danger.

This person didn't hesitate any longer, opened the car door decisively and walked out. After more than ten minutes, he brought back a paper bag of fried buns. The two ate their mouths full of oil in the car, and discussed the following plan by the way.

After eating a bun in one bite, Ikuta Takashi looked at the Japanese grocery store viciously: "There must be a problem with Hase Ryosuke's source of funds, for the safety of the empire, you and I must prepare for a long-term battle.

From now on, you will be responsible for the food, record how much you spent, and I will personally report to the Consul after the task is over. Well, you can write more, and those will be your rewards. "

His little plan was really good, and he actually used the public funds of the consulate to run his own business. It seems that the officials in the world have only one thing in common, and that is to try their best to take advantage of the country.

"Hay."

The mood of the short guy was restless, and he gradually regained his composure. The small money was regarded as an investment, and it would not be a disadvantage to exchange a few buns for the position of section chief.

Ikuta Takaki didn't know that his subordinates had changed his zodiac sign. He looked at Hase Ryosuke and others who walked out of the restaurant with their shoulders crossed, their eyes lit up, they swallowed the food in their mouths hard, and pointed to each other.

"Don't stay too far away. There are a lot of vehicles at this time, and it's easy to lose track. We changed the license plate, so we don't worry if they find out. If someone finds out, we have to insist that it's just a coincidence."

"Understood, Your Excellency Ikuta."

The short guy pouted, the two competitors happened to meet in such a big public concession, who would believe it was a coincidence, Hase Ryosuke, as the head of the super high school, is not so easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, he started the car and didn't drive out of the alley immediately. After confirming the target got in the car and left, he followed slowly, and followed all the way to the entrance of a luxurious nightclub.

To be honest, he was really sour.

It's the same as hanging out with others. They eat high-end cuisine, but I eat steamed buns. They go to spend time and drink, and I stand guard at the door. The treatment of the two can be described as very different.

"idiot."

The short man couldn't help muttering, if Jin Jiang, the dead ghost who followed "Master Shen" in the drug case, was present, he would definitely cry with this person. This gap is really frustrating, even desperate.

Takashi Ikuta, the co-pilot, pretended not to hear this, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he couldn't just stay outside like this. Nightclubs are different from restaurants, there are many people and they need close surveillance.

He took out a fake beard and glasses from his pocket, and frantically made a disguise. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has many internal intelligence personnel who have not performed missions, and Takashi Ikuta is one of them.

In any case, he is the son-in-law of the famous Matsumoto family. If he is caught by the Chinese or other countries during the operation, where will the nobles face him?

"I'll go in and check the situation. You stay in the car and don't move around, and you are ready to meet me at any time. If I don't come out, you immediately report today's situation to Consul Ishio Shetaro."

After saying a word, Ikuta Takashi walked to the entrance of the nightclub without looking back, and pushed open the heavy door, and the singing and dancing inside and the beautiful girls surrounded him heavily.

"Sirs, what do you need?"

"Wine and women."

While looking for Hase Ryosuke under the dim light, Mr. Zuo said to the waiter who came to inquire, and then said mysteriously: "Can you issue an invoice."

"Of course, you come with me."

The waiter was well-informed and led him to the corner with a wink. Soon two beautiful women in cheongsam sat down on both sides of him. Longxi Ikuta stared straight and muttered to himself.

"Yo Xi~"

　(Thinking of this morning, I seem to have found some ideas, and the entry point is so hard to find.)
