Originally, Harada Keita's operation of infiltrating Taiyuan could not be participated by a half-time intelligence officer like Gangada Murao. However, among the lurking spots in Taiyuan, only the place of Matsuki Trading Company was large enough, with office buildings and warehouse yards. It was the most suitable for hiding people, and it was also
The seven members of the action team can be dressed up as ordinary workers.
After Keita Harada led someone to meet Mr. Gangada, they found that he was indeed a businessman. He was very polite in dealing with people and things. He had been operating in Taiyuan for many years and had many friends in the local area. This allowed the seven Japanese agents to stay safe.
He hid in Taiyuan for more than a month.
However, Mr. Gangtian is not very good at gathering information. He only knows friends from the business world. He does not know the high-level figures in Taiyuan deeply and lacks effective means of obtaining information. Therefore, he is basically blank about Zhou Wen’s origins and whereabouts.
Not to mention finding out about the situation of China's small special forces.
In fact, it's not Guangtian's fault. Zhou Wen's mercenary group is strictly kept secret from the outside world. Even the top figures in the Taiyuan Appeasement Office who know about this unit are only the commander-in-chief and a few senior staff under him.
Ordinary officials only knew that there was a strong section chief named Zhou in the provincial party headquarters, and they would never associate him with the mysterious force that the Japanese were tracking everywhere.
And now that Sino-Japanese relations are so tense, it is impossible for Mr. Okada to get close to those low-level officials. Who is tired of living now and wants to get close to the Japanese? Although no counterintelligence agency has invited you to drink tea for the time being.
, but it’s easy to be looked down upon by others, isn’t it?
Even Harada Keita didn't criticize him too much for this. After all, Gangada was not a professional intelligence officer, and in a relatively remote city like Taiyuan, Japan's Special High-Tech did not have that many professional spies stationed there. It was just a precautionary measure that cast a wide net.
At the peripheral intelligence point, it was not until two years ago that a rookie who had just graduated from intelligence school was sent to him as a dispatcher.
Therefore, Harada Keita felt that Mr. Gangada had done a good job. At least his action team was safe and sound after hiding in Taiyuan for more than a month. There were no setbacks, and he fed his seven people well every day, which was almost the same.
This is the most comfortable life I have experienced in the past few years.
If it hadn't been for the bad news that came from Shanghai Technotech a few days ago, that his superior Takeo Nakata and the other two action groups were wiped out during the operation in Nanjing, he would have begun to enjoy such a peaceful life.
The death of Takeo Nakata in battle brought not only grief and hatred to Keita Harada, but also an inexplicable fear.
What is Takeo Nakata's ability? Is his tactical level and experience high? I'm afraid only Keita Harada knows best now.
In the past few years, the action team led by Takeo Nakata has fought against Lao Maozi's intelligence organization in the ice and snow, confronted the British Intelligence Agency in the dense jungles of Southeast Asia, and even swept all intelligence agencies in the Northeast.
It was such an elite special agent team that had experienced hundreds of battles and the captain and unit chief who was omnipotent in their hearts. They were all killed in a single operation in Nanjing, and none of them escaped. It is said that they were just encountered.
He captured the mysterious small Chinese force and set up an ambush first, but they were all killed on the spot.
Even the captain died in the battle, but was the operation successful? Was the target killed? How many casualties were there on the other side? Shanghai T&T High-Tech will not say anything about these situations. Judging from Harada Keita's experience, I am afraid that Shanghai will also look at it with two eyes.
Discredit, completely ignorant. This means that no one of our own witnesses survived.
Thinking of these, Keita Harada felt a chill in his heart that kept freezing his heart.
Moreover, he had not received an order for him to lead his men to withdraw in the past few days, which further confirmed his suspicion.
The Chinese officer is still alive, and so are his men, which raises a question: Even if he knows who the target is, can he complete the mission? Do he have the ability?
You know, according to previous speculations from various intelligence gathered by T&G, Shanxi is the base camp of that army. Most of the team members were concentrated in Nanjing and the assassination operation failed, and it was even more difficult at their base camp.
Moreover, although Harada Keita is willing to be loyal to the emperor and sacrifice his life for the empire, their elite action team currently only has six people around him, and he also wants to leave some seeds for this special agent team.
Now that all his subordinates know the news that their beloved captain died in battle, this is not only a matter of hatred for them, but also a huge blow to their morale.
According to the trajectory of ordinary people's psychological activities, after learning such bad news, they will first be shocked, then sad, and then angry and hateful. After a few days, I am afraid some people will feel confused, shaken, afraid and other emotions.
They knew that Takeo Nakata's image in the hearts of these people was so tall and his abilities were so extraordinary.
But when I think about the task that even the captain and most of the team members cannot complete, can I do it with just a few of them?
That's why Keita Harada wanted to severely reprimand the subordinate named Ishii just now, just to dispel the wavering mentality that was constantly growing in their hearts.
However, despite the rebuke, I have lost confidence in my heart.
This is the biggest reason why Harada Keita has been depressed in recent days.
For Murao Okada, who is a half-time intelligence agent, he has been a marginalized figure for many years and is suddenly recognized and reused by the highest authority. Naturally, he wants to use all his strength to complete the task. Little does he know that these imperial elites in his mind have appeared.
Despite being shaken, he still worked tirelessly to persuade Harada Keita.
"Harada-kun, it's better to wait patiently for a few more days. The higher-ups are also collecting intelligence from all sides. It's just that I didn't develop an informant in the Jin army back then. I'm not very clear about the situation of the army. Do you want to see if Yamano will be sent outside the city tomorrow?
How many military camps should we visit?"
"No, Okada-kun, you have no experience in spying on military intelligence. There are some details that you cannot observe without training, and it is easy to expose the target."
"Then what should we do? Someone has to complete the tasks above."
"There's no rush. Taiyuan also has a sleeper team set up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here. Maybe their intelligence network there will have some news. Let's wait a few days."
The eager villager Gangada could only suppress the fervent thoughts in his heart, drank the remaining wine in his glass and said, "Then we can only wait a little longer. It's getting late, Harada-kun, please rest."
…
After drinking, Keita Harada returned to the room, lay on the tatami and tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a drowsy sleep.
