Mitsui Iron Works looks no different from other iron works. At first glance, it looks empty and desolate. Occasionally, a few sparrows fly by, but they are quickly scared away by the roar of machines coming from deep inside the factory.
Sitting in the guard room at the entrance was an old man in his sixties, short and thin, with wrinkles on his face, looking hopeless. He casually checked their passes and immediately waved them through.
"I'll take you to report first," Yoshida led Geng Chaozhong into a small forest at the door. After walking about 200 meters, a standard football field suddenly opened up in front of them. At the end of the field were several two-story small buildings.
Building, Yoshida pointed to the two-story building in front and said: "This is the office building."
"The location is really well chosen. It's quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and the winding paths lead to tranquility." Geng Chaozhong looked at the small building shaded by green.
"The iron plant was built five years ago. It hit the economic crisis just after it was built, so it could only be temporarily idle. The police town rented the place. This is actually the employee dormitory of the iron plant." Yoshida said as he walked,
He led Geng Chaozhong into this two-story building. The building was also very empty. Occasionally, a few people walked by, but they all had a solemn look.
"We're here, go in by yourself!" Yoshida walked to the door of an office on the second floor, and the sound of several people talking could be faintly heard from inside the door.
Geng Chaozhong nodded and knocked on the door, while Yoshida turned and left.
"Come in." A calm voice came from the office.
Pushing the door open, there were three people sitting in the room, two men and one woman. A middle-aged man sitting behind a large desk was looking at Geng Chaozhong and smiling:
"Date-kun, you are finally here."
"I have seen Colonel Sato in this humble position!" Geng Chaozhong was excited, put his feet together, and saluted the middle-aged man in front of him involuntarily.
"Hahaha, Date-kun, I'm afraid you didn't think of it, right?"
The person behind the desk is none other than Geng Chaozhong’s boss, Masao Sato, the former commander of Japan’s Kanto Agency Special Higher Education Department!
As for the remaining men and women, Geng Chaozhong was actually familiar with them!
Kouko Kitahara, who recently separated from Izu, and Yun Wei, whose pseudonym is Taro Watanabe!
Xiangzi looked at Geng Chaozhong with a half-smile, while Yun Wei showed no expression and just blinked at Geng Chaozhong imperceptibly.
"I really didn't expect that, Colonel Sato, how did you get here?" Geng Chaozhong glanced at Yun Wei and Xiangzi, and walked quickly to Sato.
"It's been a while since I returned to China," Sato stood up, walked up to Geng Chaozhong with his hands behind his back, and looked at Geng Chaozhong, "I haven't seen you for several years, but you haven't changed much."
"Colonel Sato has not changed much, Ryoma's spirit is as before." Geng Chaozhong bowed slightly and said.
"Let me reintroduce you. This is Captain Taro Watanabe, formerly of Peiping Station in our Special High School Course. He has now been transferred to the Tokyo Police Station. As for Xiangzi, I don't need to introduce him anymore, right?" Sato looked at him with a smile.
By Geng Chaozhong.
"I have met Senior Ida in my humble position. I offended you a lot the last time we met. Please forgive me, Senior Ida!" Yun Wei bowed deeply to Geng Chaozhong.
"Mr. Watanabe, no one is guilty if you don't know. Thank you for meeting me!" Geng Chaozhong also bowed to Yun Wei.
"Okay, you're welcome. As the saying goes, we are all acquaintances without fighting. Let's sit down!" Sato pointed to the sofa in front of him. Geng Chaozhong hesitated and sat next to Yun Wei.
"I returned to Japan last year, that is, not long after Xiangzi returned to Manchuria from Shanghai," Sato looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile, obviously in a good mood, "His Majesty has ordered to select some capable people from the super high school to take charge of important areas in Gyeonggi Province.
As for the plan to build a 'special agent training center', I also suggested it to His Majesty the Emperor."
"That's it!" Geng Chaozhong suddenly realized.
Watanabe, Xiangzi and himself were all retired or working personnel of the Special High School Course. These people came into contact with this plan inadvertently. It was obvious that someone who knew the top secrets of the Special High School was responsible for this matter, but he never expected that he would always
The person in charge turned out to be Sato!
Thinking of this, Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but glance sideways at Xiangzi next to him.
"Xiangzi doesn't know where I'm going, so you don't have to blame her," Sato guessed Geng Chaozhong's intention, "In fact, this is the first time that the three of you and I have met, and Xiangzi has just learned about this mission."
"Hey Yi, I just arrived in Tokyo yesterday." Xiangzi's clear voice came.
"Colonel is indeed far-sighted." Geng Chaozhong's face was full of admiration.
"Sato-san was promoted to the rank of major general last year." Xiangzi added next to him.
"Congratulations to Sato-san for your promotion!" Geng Chaozhong stood up and saluted again.
"Haha, I'm ashamed of your majesty's love," Sato said with a few words of modesty and a solemn look on his face: "Okay, now let's get down to business."
"Hi Yi!" Geng Chaozhong and the other three agreed in unison.
"The nominal principal of the Special Agent Training Institute is Chief Hashimoto of Police Town, but I am responsible for the actual affairs." Sato tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at the three of them deeply, and pointed out one aspect of this matter.
The key is, “The specific teaching model is a teaching model of coursework plus tasks.”
"Coursework plus tasks?" Geng Chaozhong and the other three looked at each other.
"Yes," Sato nodded, "The students we selected come from major universities in Tokyo, and their education level is above a junior college degree. It is not too difficult to master the cultural courses such as pharmacy, makeup, and language required for agents.
These are mainly practical issues such as investigation and firearms. Therefore, after the course, I will arrange some tasks for you to allow students to grow in actual combat. Do you understand this?"
"Hey, I understand, I understand!" the three of them agreed.
The difficulty in training spies in this era is not culture. In fact, the cultural knowledge required by spies is very limited, mainly knowledge of some common chemicals and some common sense of logic and intelligence. If you want to go on duty abroad, you need to master the local language.
, apart from that, it’s all about practice.
For example, expression management and action management, these courses need to be honed in practice. In addition, firm will and the psychological quality of being calm in the face of changes also need to be honed in practice. Talking on paper is useless. As Sato said,
This is the experience of a veteran spy.
"Well," Sato nodded with satisfaction, "the cultural courses are in charge of professors from the Imperial Army University and the Imperial Military Academy, and what you have to do is to lead the team to complete the mission, hone the students' will, and exercise their actual combat capabilities.
.As for the direction of the mission, I think everyone knows that the Red elements in Soviet Russia, the Nanjing elements, and some rebels within the empire..."
While Sato was chatting, Geng Chaozhong and the other two picked up the notebooks that had been prepared on the table and started recording. The four of them talked for more than two hours before Sato picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, coughed and said
:
"Okay, that's it for today. Everyone will stay here for lunch. Watanabe-kun will go out first, and Xiangzi and Date-kun will stay for a while."
