Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 485: The Envied Patriot Okamoto Heiji

A piece of information from the Japanese was passed to Zhang Anping through Xu Zhongyi.

The information was provided by "a certain spectator", and the channel through which it was obtained was very strange. Someone directly handed it to Jiang Sian's housekeeper. Zhang Anping believed that the investigation would only lead to the discovery of a poor bastard who had been silenced.

Therefore, the content of this information is very interesting.

This intelligence is a general introduction to the current political struggle within the Japanese headquarters, mainly stating that conflicts at the top levels of the army and navy are quite serious.

Because the army occupied a large share of Japan's limited resources, the navy was very dissatisfied with this, and the navy attached great importance to the transformation of Okamoto Company.

Also included is some information and character introduction of Tokuda Shunji.

The general meaning is that Toshiharu Tokuda was a man with very little political experience and was extremely upright.

"Is this almost like teaching Jiang Sian how to deal with this crisis?"

Zhang Anping wanted to laugh. The Japanese really cared about Jiang Sian.

He guessed that this should be the work of the Fujiwara family. After all, the Fujiwara family had received a lot of dividends from the Okamoto Company. Originally, they should not have gotten involved in this mess, but Zhang Anping guessed that it was the transformation goals of the Okamoto Company that attracted the Fujiwara family, so they took action at this critical moment.

In the eyes of the Fujiwara family, Okamoto Heiji has extensive connections in the navy. If the company's transformation is successful, although it cannot compete with the Mantetsu, it will definitely become a behemoth with the help of the navy, so they would take the risk - otherwise, with the temperament of the powerful, they can easily deal with small troubles, but they usually will not get involved in such big troubles.

The idea behind "providing" this intelligence is similar to what Jiang Sian is currently doing, and it also makes up for Zhang Anping's lack of understanding of high-level Japanese information, allowing Zhang Anping to arrange and respond more easily.

Xu Zhongyi asked at this time:

"Teacher, Tokuda Shunji is secretly investigating whether Okamoto Company has any shady dealings. Do you want me to do something?"

“Don’t do it!”

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Everything you do will leave traces. In this case, let Tokuda Shunji investigate thoroughly!"

Xu Zhongyi was confused: "Won't he be in danger if this happens?"

Zhang Anping patted Xu Zhongyi on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "People always believe what they see."

"Okamoto Company is a shady business. If you insist on saying it's white, then there's a problem!"

Zhang Anping didn't explain it clearly, but he had been thinking about one thing these days:

Since Yingzuo is determined to take action against Jiang Sian and Okamoto Company?

So when did he prepare it?

While he was preparing, did Jiang Sian make any mistakes?
If Kagesawa can get in a Takeda, there must be a second Takeda.

Zhang Anping simply "checked the accounts" with Xu Zhongyi and studied Yingzuo's other "Takeda" in Okamoto Company.

The two began to review the situation since Yingzuo took office. As they talked, Xu Zhongyi and Zhang Anping's faces suddenly changed.

"Shinozuka Rikiya!"

"Tetsuo Kawaguchi!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Last year, when the "Katyusha" was being secretly investigated, that is, when Zhang Anping's fellow villagers came to Shanghai to "harm" him, a batch of goods that Kawaguchi Tetsuo had "guaranteed" for the Okamoto Company was seized by the Special High Section.

Kawaguchi Tetsuo later contacted Jiang Sian again, claiming that he had replaced the supplies in a substitutionary manner when the situation was ecstatic - at that time, Jiang Sian and Xu Zhongyi judged that the other party did not want to lose this source of money and therefore took the risk.

It now seems that Tetsuo Kawaguchi and Rikiya Shinozuka were most likely acting on orders.

Xu Zhongyi took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, thank goodness you kept a trick up your sleeve!"

This batch of supplies belonged to the New Fourth Army. After the Special High Section seized this batch of supplies, Zhang Anping, the "big spy", also knew the situation.

In this situation, Kawaguchi Tetsuo used the method of using someone else as a substitute to get the supplies back. If Jiang Sian did not report to Zhang Anping, then he would have revealed his identity.

Therefore, after discussing with Jiang Sian, Xu Zhongyi decided to inform Zhang Anping and claimed that he had tampered with the supplies and a considerable number of the rockets were duds.

The New Fourth Army played a full role in the play. When using this batch of supplies, it also specifically "exposed" the news about the unstable quality.

It was a means to deceive Zhang Anping in the past, but unexpectedly it became a fatal blow at the critical moment!

"You did a great job with him on this matter," Zhang Anping did not accept Xu Zhongyi's flattery, but said: "Send him a message immediately, let him make good use of this trick!"

……

Yingzuo was very angry.

Because the Security Command took action!

Because the archives room of Yingzuo Agency caught fire.

Yes, the Security Command's action is related to the fire in the archives room of the Kagesa Agency!

Because, the fire burned some records about Okamoto Company cooperating with intelligence agencies to transport supplies to resistance elements!

As the head of the Yingzuo Agency, Yingzuo certainly knew about the filing information, which was why he found it difficult, because these filings were undoubtedly to cover up certain actions of the Okamoto Company.

But he didn't think of burning these records, but they were burned! !

A shit pot fell from the sky and hit Yingzuo Zhenzhao on the head.

So vicious and so well-known, Yingzuo immediately realized that it was someone from the Security Command who took action.

This made Yingzuo very angry. These military leaders disregarded the interests of the empire!

But this move was too vicious. If it were to be exposed, he would be the only suspect!

This is almost a dead end.

"These bastards, they didn't use such brutal moves when dealing with the resistance members! But when dealing with me, they... can actually do this!"

Faced with this dead end, Yingzuo decided to give it a try!
He had previously been thinking about a smooth transition, but this time, he wanted to overturn the table and completely expose the entire network of interests in Shanghai.

He is going to find Tokuda and turn the table over!
So, in the evening he brought Rikiya Shinozuka and Tetsuo Kawaguchi to visit Tokuda.

Kagesawa's attitude was very low. After greeting, he went straight to the point and asked in a tone of request: "Special Envoy Tokuda, Lieutenant Colonel Shinozuka and Lieutenant Colonel Kawaguchi have some information to report to you. Would you like to listen to it?"

Tokuda was curious about what tricks Kagesawa could come up with, so he asked, "Oh? Please tell me about it."

Rikiya Shinozuka and Tetsuo Kawaguchi began to tell what they knew about the Okamoto Company's smuggling network. At the end of the story, Tetsuo Kawaguchi told Tokuda everything he had done without reservation.

After listening to this, Tokuda remained silent for a long time.

If the facts are as Kagesa said, Okamoto Company was indeed involved in the supply of military supplies to resistance elements, but Kagesa's behavior is even more hateful!

Because these were clearly seized by the Special High Police, and in order to allow Tetsuo Kawaguchi to gain Okamoto's trust, he actually allowed these supplies to return to the hands of the resistance elements - this was not a sting operation, it was clearly aiding the enemy!

There was a hint of disgust in Tokuda's eyes, and when this disgust was caught by Kagesawa, he could only smile bitterly in his heart. This special envoy probably had no experience in intelligence work.

In the intelligence industry, people have always used any means necessary to achieve their goals.

"Kagesawa-kun, I understand - I will investigate this matter!"

Tokuda said calmly.

Yingzo's heart skipped a beat; his main course hadn't been served yet!
"Special Envoy Tokuda, I..."

"Kagesawa-kun, it's late, I'm going to sleep, how about we talk about it another day?"

"Yes - I'm very sorry for disturbing the special envoy." Yingzuo could only apologize angrily, and then winked at Kawaguchi and Shinozuka, indicating that they should leave with him.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, he heard a noisy sound at the door. Kagesa was startled and immediately signaled Kawaguchi and Shinozuka to protect the envoy.

But Tokuda said firmly: "This is a place occupied by the Imperial Army. I believe that the warriors of the Empire will not let me get hurt. You two don't have to do this!"

Yingzuo was helpless, wondering why the headquarters sent a special envoy like Tokuda Shunji?
"Mr. Special Envoy," the voice of the attendant arranged by the Security Command came from outside:

"Colonel Kintaro Ogawa, the leader of the special forces squad at the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, requests a meeting."

Kintaro Ogawa?
Yingzuo was stunned. This person was his colleague, but he belonged to the special agent squad of the expeditionary force headquarters, responsible for collecting strategic intelligence. How come he appeared here with the special envoy at this time?
"Invite him in."

Seeing that the servant did not report the noise outside, Tokuda guessed that the noise was related to Kintaro Ogawa.

Sure enough, after Ogawa Kintaro came in, he said directly: "Mr. Tokuda, I am responsible for ensuring the safety of the special envoy at the request of the Security Command. Just now, my people found someone following the special envoy and arrested him. Unexpectedly, the other party shouted that he was from the Kagesa Agency!" At this point, Ogawa Kintaro glanced at Kagesa with an inexplicable look.

Yingzuo hurriedly said: "Tokuda-kun, please don't misunderstand me. I am worried that you will become a target of the resistance, so I have specially arranged people to protect you in secret."

Tokuda's face looked a little ugly. Although Yingzuo said it was protection, even a fool knew that it was surveillance.

"Colonel Ogawa, you are the head of the special forces squad of the expeditionary force. Why did you come here to protect me?"

"Isn't there a secret service in Shanghai?"

"Or do you and the person who was just arrested have the same goal?"

Tokuda's words were somewhat hurtful, and normally he would not say them out loud, but Tokuda was so angry that he ignored the unspoken rules.

"Please don't misunderstand, Tokuda-kun," said Ogawa Kintaro, "I just came here this afternoon. Before I could meet you, I saw Chief Kagesa arrive first and wait outside."

"As for why the Security Command came to me instead of the Shanghai Secret Service, I think they were looking for the inexplicable [File Fire] incident before!"

Tokuda's expression suddenly turned bad:

"The files are on fire?"

As a person with in-depth research on Chinese history, Tokuda Shunji knew too well that when the "imperial envoy" came to investigate, there were such dirty things as XX fire and XX death.

Yingzuo was furious. He didn't expect that Ogawa Kintaro would use a killing move as soon as he opened his mouth. He hurriedly explained: "Special Envoy Tokuda..."

"Only a little bit of the file was burned, right?" Ogawa Kintaro said grimly:

"But what was burned were all records of the Okamoto Company cooperating with the intelligence agencies to deliver supplies to the resistance members. This is really a great move! There is no evidence, right?"

"Unfortunately, the archives room had already made preparations. What was burned were only photocopies. The real originals are still kept in the basement of the archives room!"

Yingzuo almost vomited blood when he heard this.

It’s so poisonous, so poisonous!
If it was the original, he could still defend himself, but he didn't expect the Security Command to be so cruel. They only burned the copies and hid the originals. He couldn't get rid of this blame.

This plan is so vicious!
There were clouds on Tokuda's face. He had never had a good impression of Kagesa, and now Kintaro Ogawa's words made Kagesa become a despicable villain in his heart.

"I will investigate this matter personally."

"Don't worry, Kagesawa-kun. I won't wrongly accuse anyone."

……

Toshiharu Tokuda said that he would continue the investigation, but the next day he "interrogated" Jiang Sian again.

"Mr. Okamoto, based on my investigation, I found that what the Okamoto Company has done is enough to shoot you ten times!"

Jiang Sian smiled silently.

Then he whispered:
"Special Envoy Tokuda, but this is China at war!"

The word "war" can cover up many, many problems.

You can also ignore many, many laws, because in war, there are no laws to speak of!

From a legal perspective, the business done by Okamoto Company is indeed full of problems. However, in this period of war, if these problems are taken too far, it would not be an exaggeration to execute Okamoto Heiji. But what if they are not taken too far?
What's more, what Toshiharu Tokuda wanted to investigate was whether the Okamoto Company had provided massive amounts of arms and supplies to the resistance elements.

Tokuda Shunji agreed with Jiang Si'an's words, "Okamoto-kun, I will ask you another serious question. I hope you will think it through and answer me--"

"Did the Okamoto Company provide supplies to the resistance fighters?"

Jiang Sian said softly, "Yes, I have."

The sound was soft, but earth-shattering.

Jiang Sian certainly wasn't seeking death, and this was his strategy:

Treat others with sincerity.

His personality is essentially that of a businessman, and his only halo is that he is set as a role model in Japan.

Therefore, he had to make good use of his own personality instead of being aggressive or coaxing, deceiving, or stubborn - this was also the reason why he imprisoned himself in the Security Command.

He wanted to make himself look insignificant so that Tokuda Shunji would be biased towards him in his heart.

At this time, Tokuda Shunji did not say a word, waiting for Jiang Sian's answer.

"For a very long time - to be precise, until now, Okamoto Company has actually been providing various conveniences and assistance to intelligence agencies. Intelligence agencies need to conduct secret investigations on the resistance forces in our occupied areas, and using Okamoto Company naturally becomes the most convenient channel."

"In order to cooperate with the intelligence agencies, the company must do business with the resistance."

"But these things are all recorded in the files of intelligence agencies."

At this point, Jiang Sian's face showed anger:

"But it's definitely not the crime that Kagesawa has prepared for me - Tokuda-kun, I'm a Japanese, how could I possibly harm the interests of Great Japan?!"

Detian recorded Jiang Sian's words without commenting, and then asked:

"According to my investigation, the gray industry that Okamoto Company is involved in is very profitable. In this case, why do you want to transform?"

"Because...I have a dream!"

Jiang Sian seemed to be lost in memories, murmuring, "You know, I grew up in America. Whenever I saw their naval fleet, I always wondered why the Empire's navy couldn't be as powerful as the American navy?"

"Later, when I had the ability, I started working on the Navy's giant ship program."

"But I found that resources are the curse that prevents us from having a strong navy. In addition, I gradually lost interest in money, so I decided to transform Okamoto Company and make more contributions to the navy's giant ship plan. I hope that one day, we will have the strength to completely crush the US Navy in terms of quantity and tonnage!"

Jiang Sian seemed to have returned to reality when he said this, and sighed, "It's a pity that some people can't forget the small profits in front of them. The transformed Okamoto Company may be larger, but its profitability will naturally not be as good as the current Okamoto Company, so..."

Tokuda Shunji asked: "So what?"

Jiang Sian smiled and did not answer.

But Toshiharu Tokuda saw the answer.

He actually had this feeling a long time ago, so why didn't he "testify" earlier or later, but only when Okamoto Company began to transform?
Moreover, considering the actions of Kagesa Tadaaki since he took office in Shanghai, and Kagesa's actions of stabbing Matsumuro Yoshitaka and forcing Tsukamoto Seiji to death, Tokuda Shunji already had the answer in his mind. This time, his purpose of "interrogating" Okamoto Heiji was to find out what kind of person he was.

"Okamoto-kun, I have one last question, and I hope you can answer me truthfully!"

"Please enlighten me!"

"Last year, Tsukamoto Seiji seized a batch of military supplies from the resistance fighters, which were eventually destroyed. But as far as I know, Kawaguchi Tetsuo's destruction was fake. He actually replaced the supplies and handed them over to Global Trade through you, right?"

Tokuda stared at Jiang Sian and said slowly, "According to my investigation, this batch of military supplies was secretly taken by your transport team. But in the end, why did you help Kawaguchi Tetsuo to get this batch of supplies back to Global Trade? You should know that after returning to Global Trade, this batch of supplies will still become military supplies for the resistance elements!"

Jiang Sian's expression remained unchanged, he just said calmly: "This matter should only be known by the parties involved!"

De Tian said nothing and continued to stare at Jiang Sian.

Jiang Sian sighed: "I originally wanted to illuminate the moon with my heart!"

After sighing, he said bitterly:
"I didn't expect that they would stab me in the back. Ha, it's really..."

After a bitter taste of desire, he explained:

"This matter was requested by Kawaguchi Tetsuo. He is the person in charge of the Beast Work, and I don't know anything about it. The Beast Work is an intelligence group that bribes non-direct warlords in the Chinese army. However, the funds approved by the higher-ups are limited, and the bribery work is not going smoothly. If we want to proceed smoothly, we need a large amount of financial support."

"So, I helped Tetsuo Kawaguchi and Riki Shinozuka find ways to make money."

"After this batch of supplies was seized by Tsukamoto-kun, Kawaguchi Tetsuo would lose this route. He asked me for help, and after much thought, I agreed to help."

"But I was unwilling to let the resistance fighters get this batch of supplies for nothing, so... I secretly contacted Captain Takeo Kishida, and he led his men to turn half of the rockets in this batch of supplies into duds!"

"Captain Kishida is the head of the garrison's engineering corps. You can ask him about this matter. There were more than 30 engineers who secretly participated in the incident. You can ask him about it."

Jiang Sian said this, as if remembering something, and said: "By the way, you can collect news about the New Fourth Army. They suffered a lot on the battlefield because of this batch of supplies!"

As Jiang Sian continued to talk, Detian's expression gradually returned to normal. When Jiang Sian finished speaking, Detian sighed inwardly:
Okamoto's performance was just as he imagined. This man was a true patriot. It was a pity that such patriots would always be envied!
