mixed in the war

Jingqi Qingyin died.

The head of the Mei agency, who had just taken office a few days ago, died on a landmine.In addition to the Gendarmerie Lieutenant Makoto Tsukamoto who was killed by the bombing, there are already two Japanese officers on the intoxicated credit book.Although the ranks of these two officers are not high, when it comes to influence, they are no less than the two generals.

When Kenji Doihara heard the news, he didn't move for a long time.Although it had been expected for a long time, when I really heard it, it was still unavoidable to accept.

"Prepare Jingqi-kun's death notice, and by the way, let Nakajima Shinichi temporarily act as the head of Mei's agency."

After Doihara finished speaking, he continued to lower his head and write.But after waiting for a while, he didn't hear anything, so he had to raise his head again to look at his female student:

"What's the matter? Are you okay?"

"Teacher, I disagree with your decision."

"Disagree?" Doihara was taken aback.With his position in the Japanese intelligence agency in China, it was the first time he was questioned like this, and this question actually came from his students: "Why? You always have to give me a reason."

"Nobuichi Nakajima is arrogant and arrogant, relying on his classmate with General Seishiro Itagaki, senior qualifications, self-righteousness, he only knows how to kill when encountering things, and he will not use other methods at all... He is not suitable for an intelligence officer at all. personnel." Nanzao Yunzi said.

"I'm very clear about what you said, but besides him, who else is qualified to replace Akiki?" Kenji Doihara sighed, "I can't let Shibayama Kenshiro, Kazuchi Takaji or Kagesa Haruaki and the others?"

"Teacher, you still have another candidate." Nanzo Yunzi naturally knew who the people Kenji Doihara mentioned were.Not to mention Kagezuo Shakiaki, Shibayama Kenshiro is currently the head of the "Bamboo Organ" in Hankou, and Tomotaka is in charge of the "Lan Organ", plus the "Chrysanthemum Organ" in Fujian.Together, they formed the four major secret service agencies of Japan's "Plum Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo" in China.But having said that, she didn't think that the chiefs of the four major agencies were any great.She disapproved of that guy when Yingzuo Zhenzhao was there before, but after Yingzuo, when Jingqi took over, she disliked him even more.

"There is another candidate?" Kenji Doihara didn't show any surprise, "Are you talking about yourself?"

"Yes, teacher." Nanzao Yunzi took a step forward, "I think I am more qualified to lead the Mei organization than Shinichi Nakajima."

"Yunzi," Doihara sighed, and put down the writing brush in his hand: "Do you know that since you came back from Chongqing, your person has changed?"

"I have indeed changed." Nan Zao Yunzi raised his chin, "I used to follow the teacher's teachings and serve the country. I never asked for anything in return, and I didn't hesitate or fear even if I was going to die. But now I But I hope to get a position commensurate with my achievements and abilities. Even rewards."

"Who taught you these words?" Doihara was taken aback.asked.

"Some guy."

"Qin Wei?"

"Yes."

"...a very deceptive statement." Hearing Nanzo Yunzi's answer without hesitation, Doihara nodded, "But you don't think so, Yunzi, you are a woman."

"Yes, I am a woman. But a teacher. Do I have to be led by people who are inferior to me in terms of ability and grades all day because I am a woman? I have to watch those stupid guys point out all day long." Are you gesticulating, but your own opinion is ignored?" Nan Zao Yunzi asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid you are even more unwilling to be sent to a desperate situation by others one day, and then be silenced. Is that right?" Doihara asked suddenly.

"..." Nanzao Yunzi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"You have grievances. It's grievances against the entire Mei Agency, and even the entire Chinese dispatched army." Doihara sighed again, "I know that what happened in Chongqing made you very dissatisfied with Kagesa-kun, and even hated you. I I don’t want to persuade you, and I don’t want to argue with you whether Yingzuo-kun’s decision at that time was right or wrong. I just want to ask you: Yunzi, do you think you can lead the Mei organization? Even if you can lead the Mei organization Agency, can you get the headquarters to agree to appoint you as the supreme commander of the Shanghai Secret Service?"

"These are two questions, teacher." Nan Zao Yunzi said.

"It's all the same." Doihara smiled dryly: "I want to know your answer now."

"I am confident that I can lead the Mei Agency. As for the base camp... I hope you can come forward, teacher." Nan Zao Yunzi said.

"The reason?"

"Isn't the oil on Huatai Island not enough?" Nanzao Yunzi said in a voice: "Also, hasn't the base camp confirmed that the military deployment of the Soviet Far East Military Region provided by Chongqing is correct? This is also my credit .”

"It's not your credit." Doihara shook his head: "Your only credit is that you managed to let us reach a certain level of mutual trust in a short period of time. Even without you, we can do this , it’s just that the time needs to be pushed back a bit. That’s all.”

"Teacher, you are sophistry." Nan Zao Yunzi exclaimed: "If according to your statement, what credit do you have to the empire? Because even if the empire sends someone else, they can still complete the things you have done. Your only credit is to run errands."

"What you said is not wrong at all, I'm quibbling." Doihara looked serious, "But as long as you reveal to outsiders that you want to take charge of Mei's agency, my statement will become the base camp's evaluation of you. The credit you have made will also be wiped out because of this. Because... you are a woman, Yunzi!"

"Just because I'm a woman?" Nan Zao Yunzi gritted his teeth and asked.

"Yes." Doihara nodded, with a helpless look: "You are my student, don't I want you to go further? But, women are women after all. In war, you can only submit to subordinates forever status, no matter how strong your ability is. This is the reality! Especially in a country like our Great Japanese Empire, this is even more so. Yunzi, once you take this step, even if you just make a request, you will become The target of public criticism. At that time, let alone the head of the Mei Agency, or even Wei...an ordinary agent, you may not be able to do it."

"...Did you just say 'comfort women'?" Nanzo Yunzi stared into Doihara's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing." Doihara sighed.

"It doesn't matter, you are my teacher, what you say is for my own good..." Nanzao Yunzi said quietly: "I'm going out first, teacher, goodbye."

……

"I saw Miss Yunzi go out just now. She didn't make any cover up. The guards stopped her and she slapped her twice. This is not a good thing. If someone finds out, our cooperation with Chongqing will easily go wrong. questionable."

Yunzi Nanzo left Doihara's office in a hurry, and not a while after she left, a Japanese officer wearing glasses and a pedantic face also found Doihara.

"She's in a bad mood." Doihara replied casually.He wasn't in a good mood either.I may be in danger now, but the student who is proud of me doesn't show concern at all, and shows all the demon moths... Isn't it just a time when his life is in danger?Aren't those soldiers on the front line in more danger than you?If everyone wants to reciprocate, how can this battle be fought?Although he tried his best to persuade Nan Zao Yunzi, he was extremely dissatisfied with Nan Zao Yunzi's behavior in his heart.Want to fly into the sky after making some credit?

"She is a well-trained secret agent. The good or bad mood should not affect her judgment and execution ability." The officer said.

"Then what do you want me to do? She has nothing to do except to receive information from Chongqing. She is a top secret agent. She has nothing to do all day long and doesn't have much freedom. Naturally, she will inevitably become irritable. "Doihara said.

"A top agent can't adjust his mood? Your Excellency, are you kidding me?" The officer laughed dryly.

"A secret agent is human too, not to mention she is a woman." Doihara sighed, and glanced at the other party again: "Mr. Nakanishi, don't you just come to me to discuss Yunzi's affairs?"

"Of course not." Isao Nakanishi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I just came to report to you about the Special Affairs Department of the dispatched army."

"Why don't you go to Nishio-kun?" Doihara asked.

"It was Commander Nishio who asked me to come to you." Isao Nakanishi said again: "The commander said that the situation in Shanghai is very complicated. It is hard to say whether Chongqing will take action in other areas. You are in this area Experts, it’s best for you to take care of the overall situation.”

"He's shirking responsibility." Doihara said angrily.

"No, from our Secret Service's point of view, the commander knows people well. These are some recent work reports, please correct me..." Nakanishi smiled and handed over the documents in his hand.

……

"Pause!"

Coming out of Doihara, Isao Nakanishi drove back to the headquarters of Hisao Nishio in the car, but after only two streets, he suddenly asked the driver to stop the car, and then smoked a cigarette for himself On point, and handed the driver a banknote:

"Out of cigarettes. Go buy me a pack!"

"Yes." The driver took the money and quickly ran to a cigarette stand beside him to buy a pack of good cigarettes, and handed them to Zhongxigong when he came back.

"This is better than mine." Zhongxi Gong looked at the package of the cigarette box, opened it again and smelled it, laughed, praised the driver, threw the cigarette in his mouth out of the window, and started a new cigarette box He took one out of his cigarette, lit it, and took a puff: "Good cigarette... let's go."

"Yes."

The car restarted and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.But the driver didn't see it. Not a while after their car left, a shoe-shining peddler quickly walked to the place where the car stopped just now, stomped out the cigarette butt left by Gong Xigong, and picked it up. , and then disappeared just as quickly...
