Repeated Instructions
Even though the task was very difficult, Inaba Masao still had to bite the bullet and accept it, because he knew that Ishihara Kaoru actually didn't have many available people in Lincheng.
Although Kaoru Ishihara may still have an intelligence force in his hands, these people are very well hidden and are not suitable for such tracking and surveillance work.
Moreover, Zhang Xinhua is a very experienced agent. If he is not careful, he will not only alert the enemy, but may also lead to death.
This requires the person following him not only to be able to keep a close eye on the person, but also to be able to escape in an emergency.
Taking the above aspects into consideration, he and Yanagita Yushi are indeed the best candidates.
Immediately, Inaba Masao said: "Okay, I will complete the investigation as soon as possible."
This mission is also an opportunity for him to make a comeback. If he grasps it well, he will have an explanation for himself and Teacher Matsui.
"Inaba-kun, Wang Xiang's confidentiality level is very high. You and Miyasaka are the people I trust most, so I mentioned this matter to you. But I still have to emphasize again that this investigation, you
Keep it strictly confidential. Even if you don’t tell your men the whole situation, you must issue a silence order. Don’t tell anyone outside of your mission about this mission.”
Kaoru Ishihara's concerns are certainly not unreasonable. Compared with Xuanwu and other intelligence groups, these chess pieces placed at a deeper level are more important. Some plans to obtain intelligence are even implemented specifically around these people.
Regarding this screening work, it was implemented after repeated analysis and judgment by the First Intelligence Team, and was finally reported to Section Chief Matsui for approval.
Of course, Inaba Masao was aware of the relationship, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Understood! I will definitely pay more attention to the issue of confidentiality and will never let the information leak out from me!"
Kaoru Ishihara nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "I know your abilities well. As I said before, you should think twice before doing anything. Don't be impulsive or act based on emotion! Although Wang Xiang is the key screening target, in the end he is not the same as Nanye.
Whether Takuya's disappearance is related or not depends on multi-faceted investigations before we can reach a conclusion. I believe you will grasp the scale well."
"Yes, I will definitely find out his true identity as soon as possible." Inaba Masao nodded and accepted the order.
The task was clearly explained, and Kaoru Ishihara said to Miyasaka Jumasa again: "Miyasaka, the reason why I let you know the inside story this time is because the people from Nanjing are not familiar with Lincheng and need your people to cooperate. This should be
No problem?"
The biggest problem currently faced by the screening and investigation work extending from Nanjing is the new environment. After all, this is covert intelligence work, and everything must be done carefully to minimize possible risks.
In view of the current situation in Lincheng, it is difficult for people from Nanjing to carry out their work on their own, and the strong support and cooperation of local intelligence personnel are urgently needed.
Ishihara Kaoru could not think of a more suitable candidate than Miyasaka Kimasa.
Moreover, Miyasaka Shumasa has a calm personality and is experienced in doing things. He is a person who can be entrusted with important tasks.
Kaoru Ishihara told Miyasaka Kimasa a contact information, and naturally someone would contact him today.
The tasks were clarified one by one, and we talked for a while, and the topic turned to the explosion that happened last night.
Because the noise was very loud, all three of them heard it, and many people were talking about it early this morning.
Miyasaka Jumasa said: "I was about to report this matter. I heard that not only the police were called to the scene, but also people from the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station. I'm afraid this matter is unusual."
Miyasaka Shumasa is indeed a veteran agent and is very sensitive to intelligence.
Ishihara Kaoru said: "I heard that many people died."
"Yes, half of the hotel was destroyed by the bomb. Many people died, including people from the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station, I heard!"
Inaba Masao asked doubtfully: "Since someone from the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station has appeared, it is very likely that this explosion is related to our people. Sir, this was planned and implemented by our people?"
The incident at Fuyoshi warehouse was like a thorn in Inaba Masao's heart. Although the explosion that caused casualties to his opponents was not an act of revenge by his hands, it was still very satisfying.
Unexpectedly, Ishihara Kaoru shook his head solemnly.
Inaba Masao and Miyasaka Shumaa looked at each other, both very puzzled.
Since Kaoru Ishihara is the temporary person in charge of the Lincheng Intelligence Network, he should be in control of any operations carried out within his area of responsibility.
But the reality is that Kaoru Ishihara has no idea who was the instigator of this explosion.
Kaoru Ishihara said sternly: "Since the incident of the 'Qingzhou' team, especially the incident of Miura Kazuichi's investigation team, the relevant intelligence teams have been dormant one after another. Many people have had to evacuate or change their identities. Lincheng's underground intelligence work has almost
It has completely come to a standstill. This matter was definitely not done by local intelligence personnel. Miyasaka-kun, you need to contact the headquarters immediately to confirm whether the headquarters has sent someone again?"
"Understood, I will implement this immediately!"
After talking for a while, Ishihara Kaoru signaled Miyasaka Shumasa to leave first, and Miyasaka Shumasa stood up and left the table, leaving only Ishihara Kaoru and Inaba Masao in the room.
Seeing Miyasaka's tree leaving, Ishihara Kaoru's originally serious expression gradually softened, and Inaba Masao no longer sat upright as before.
The two were old acquaintances, and without outsiders present, the atmosphere became relatively relaxed.
Ishihara Kaoru asked harmoniously: "Are you under a lot of pressure regarding this new mission?"
"There is definitely pressure. The target is special, the time is tight, and confidentiality must be kept. There are many restrictions, which will bring a lot of difficulties to the investigation. However, please rest assured, sir, I will definitely try my best to overcome it.
"
Ishihara Kaoru laughed and was very satisfied with Inaba Masao's answer.
Young people, there is no way to stop moving forward when encountering difficulties. No matter how many ditches and bumps there are in front of you, you still have to find a way to rush through them. This is the attitude that young people should have.
Ishihara Kaoru was in charge of Lincheng's intelligence network for the first time, and there were almost no direct descendants of him here. Inaba Masao was his junior and had been taught by him before, so the relationship was naturally extraordinary.
Moreover, Inaba Masao is a student of Matsui Naoki, so he needs to take a high look.
He deliberately beat Inaba Masao in front of Miyasaka Jumasa. To put it bluntly, it was just a pretense to give Miyasaka Jumasa some face. In this regard, he had a very good sense of proportion.
"Inaba-kun, you are my nephew. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are half a disciple. Our relationship is no better than others!"
Inaba Masao nodded repeatedly: "My teacher once taught us a lesson back then, but at that time Changsheng was naughty and ignorant, and I only learned the superficial knowledge of my teacher's abilities. Now that I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed."
It turns out that there was indeed a teacher-student relationship between Inaba Masao and Ishihara Kaoru.
When he was training locally, Kaoru Ishihara, as an instructor, specifically taught courses on lurking and obtaining intelligence to students such as Masao Inaba.
At that time, Inaba Masao was obsessed with action and did not pay attention to the lectures. On the contrary, Kawamoto Soaki was very interested in these courses.
In class, Ishihara Kaoru once compared the two of them and criticized Inaba Masao, but Inaba Masao didn't take it seriously.
Later, before the course ended, Kaoru Ishihara was transferred to China to perform a mission, and the two of them separated.
But no matter what, since the two had this friendship before, their relationship will naturally become closer.
Moreover, before Ishihara Kaoru accepted the task of taking charge of the overall situation in the city, Section Chief Matsui also specifically talked to him about Inaba Masao and asked him to pay more attention to it. Ishihara Kaoru naturally understood it.
"Chang Sheng, you are very smart, but you didn't pay too much attention to intelligence work before. You have also seen the situation in Lincheng now. Just killing and killing will not solve any problems. You must use your brain. Now the Chinese are more willing to
We used our brains, and this led to our successive defeats on the intelligence front. We must study our opponents carefully, and we must not be arrogant or complacent."
Kaoru Ishihara was inspired by these words. In the past few days in Lincheng, he carefully summarized the reasons for the major failure in Lincheng's intelligence work.
There are many reasons for failure, but the most important one is to underestimate your opponent!
Inaba Masao said quickly: "Sir, it was all because of our blind arrogance and insufficient estimation of the situation and opponents that our actions failed. This resulted in the current passive situation. For this, the students feel deeply guilty."
Having said this, Inaba Masao lowered his head with an expression of shame.
Kaoru Ishihara asked for instructions: "Knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements! Now that you have deeply understood your mistakes, you must focus on overcoming them in future tasks. I hope you can put down the baggage in your heart and devote your main energy to the current task.
If you go there, you can share my worries and help me!"
Having said this, Kaoru Ishihara patted the back of Masao Inaba's hand across the table a few times.
Although Ishihara Kaoru is a senior agent of the Special High School, over the years, he has basically been performing tasks on the front line and has not done much in leading intelligence work.
As an old man in a special high-level course, his qualifications and abilities are first-rate. It seems that people with the same qualifications as him, or even those with lower qualifications than him, have held important positions in various secret service agencies, and he still has to compete with those young people.
I'm still struggling on the front line, so naturally I feel a little unbalanced.
There are also his own reasons for this. When he was young, he was very fickle and often did things without regard for the consequences, so that his boss positioned him as a front-line worker.
Although he later worked hard to get rid of this label, his bosses' ideas were already deeply ingrained.
This mission was also prompted by a variety of factors.
The Lincheng intelligence network suffered heavy losses this time, and it came at a time when the military was stepping up military preparations against China. Lincheng, as an important city, must be occupied by the Japanese army after the war started.
Matsui Naoki urgently needed to restore the intelligence organization in Lincheng in the shortest possible time, and then he remembered Kaoru Ishihara, an old colleague who had been working hard on the front line for many years.
It can be said that this is a rare opportunity for Ishihara Kaoru.
Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others.
Over the years, Ishihara Kaoru has a deep understanding of this.
This time, Ishihara Kaoru was very satisfied with being able to come to Lincheng to preside over the work. He was determined to find out the truth as soon as possible, reverse the passive situation of intelligence work as soon as possible, and prove his strength in front of the top brass of the intelligence community.
The reason why Masao Inaba was transferred to another task was that apart from considering that Masao Inaba would have obvious personal emotions when he continued to deal with Lincheng Station, there was another important reason.
Although the degree of damage to Nanjing's intelligence network is not global, it is the capital's intelligence work after all, and its importance is far beyond that of Lincheng.
He felt that it was necessary to emphasize to Inaba Masao again: "Masao, don't underestimate this mission. Finding out whether Minamino Takuya is alive or dead is extremely important to Nanjing's intelligence work. It is not only the most important thing in the special high school.
It is one of the most important tasks, and even the top leaders in the country are paying close attention to it."
"Today we are in a very difficult situation in Hangzhou. Many intelligence personnel who have been hiding for a long time have been arrested and sacrificed. The intelligence system that has been operating for many years has suffered an unprecedented blow. Regular intelligence work has come to a standstill. If it were not for our high-level intelligence
With the support of personnel, the ability to obtain intelligence is almost zero."
"But this is not a long-term solution. According to the original plan, the hidden weapons we arranged in Lincheng are all prepared to be used at the most critical time. Now that the situation is forcing us, we can only use these treasures in advance. This
