Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 1933, Usurping the Nest

The Japanese invaders' first submarine arrived earlier than in previous years.

Just as Zhang Yong left the Madier Hotel, the air force command map indicated that a Japanese submarine was passing through the Tsushima Strait, heading west.

This route caught Zhang Yong's attention.

In fact, the Air Force Command's maps used to show Japanese submarine markings.

American submarines were also among them.

However, Zhang Yong hadn't paid much attention to it before.

I felt that I shouldn't have much to do with submarines.

The German submarines that once made a brief appearance have now disappeared.

The captured Engelma telegraph messages were also not deciphered.

With Germany's declaration of war against Britain and France, it became very difficult for German submarines to reach the East. Resupply along the way was extremely difficult.

Germany had very few overseas colonies. The rest of the country was almost entirely British, French, and American territory.

In the vast Pacific Ocean, there are only two submarines.

Japanese.

From the United States.

However, Japanese submarines never appeared along the coast of China.

Because it is not necessary.

What are you doing here? You're completely useless. A waste of your time.

The Nationalist Navy doesn't have any surface ships for you to sink, nor do it have any merchant ships for you to launch torpedoes from.

Nothing at all.

"Tsushima Strait..."

"The distance is approximately 900 kilometers..."

Zhang Yong seemed to be deep in thought.

Japanese submarines sailing through the Tsushima Strait westward were definitely heading towards China.

It's very likely they're coming to Shanghai for a layover.

It's impossible to go north.

The air force map shows that this is an I-class submarine. The hull number is unknown.

Its displacement was quite impressive. Around 2000 tons above water and around 3000 tons underwater. At the time, it was definitely a large vessel.

Most German U-boats were not this size.

The problem is that a large portion of its displacement is wasted on weapons. To be precise, it's wasted on the wrong weapons.

As a submarine, it was surprisingly equipped with two 127mm cannons.

You read that right, there are two cannons.

It feels strange to install two large-caliber guns on a submarine.

Are they going to engage in a firefight with surface ships?
Believe it or not, given the Japanese invaders' design concepts, it was indeed quite possible.

After all, their designers even fitted bayonets to machine guns. Bayonets were indispensable.

Fighting with machine guns and bayonets...

It's amazing just thinking about it.

In addition, it can also carry a seaplane for reconnaissance. However, it did not carry one on this mission.

Because it's an empty map, it can't display whether there's gold or anything like that. Therefore, it's impossible to be 100% certain that the target is it.

it's fine.

He will keep an eye on it until it docks in Shanghai.

Once this Japanese submarine docks, there will be an opportunity to destroy it and then seize the treasure.

"what?"

Suddenly, an idea struck me.

A yellow dot was spotted nearby.

It wasn't marked. It should be one of the three yellow dots where people disembarked today.

Behind him, there was a red dot tracking him.

Who? Qingqi Qingyin.

curious.

It was actually Qingqi Qingyin who personally followed them?
The identity of this person with the yellow dot seems to be more than just ordinary. Otherwise, Qingqi Qingyin wouldn't have personally taken action.

"please."

After seeing Tang Shengming off, they arranged for Adela to stay.

But this woman wanted to stay at the Peace Hotel. So he let her. Anyway, he wasn't paying.

He lost a quarter's worth of profits to help Tang Shengming complete his special mission. He's feeling the pinch right now.

He silently teleported out the door.

She disguised herself simply and then followed Qingqi Qingyin.

That guy, Qingqi Qingyin, actually disguised himself. You can't tell it's him at all.

Sure enough, they are all experts in espionage.

but……

They quietly lay in ambush at the corner of the wall.

After Qing Qiqingyin passed by, he immediately appeared from behind. Then came a blow with a stick.

"puff!"

There was a slight muffled sound.

Qingqi Qingyin collapsed instantly, completely losing consciousness.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?
Did I use too much force again?

Fortunately, the red dot did not disappear.

I reached out to check his breathing. Thankfully, he's alive.

If you press on the carotid artery, you can still feel a pulse.

Then it'll be fine.

Skilled at looting corpses.

It was a completely subconscious action.

I didn't have high hopes. I thought there wouldn't be any results.

Who would disguise themselves and follow a target while carrying money? Qingqi Qingyin isn't stupid.

who knows……

He touched the silver note in an instant.

No need to look. The feel is too familiar. It's ingrained in my very being.

Moreover, you can tell at a touch that it's a Citibank draft. Not HSBC, or any other bank.

Take it out.

Sure enough, a light suddenly appeared before my eyes.

It was fruitful!
It is indeed a Citibank draft.

There are fifteen in total. Each one has a face value of 100 silver dollars.

Cool.

Unexpected wealth.

Although it was only 1,500 silver dollars.

But this is a bonus that comes with being ambushed. It's like the system giving out free coins.

Immediately store the silver notes into your personal storage space.

Continue looting the corpse.

I found some odds and ends.

The most important thing was a note.

There are three names listed. There are also three addresses.

It was determined that the yellow dot was very likely the one Qingqi Qingyin was tracking. They had been exposed.

The note probably wasn't written by Haruki Yoshitaka himself. Those who can be spies all have excellent memories. They could easily remember it.

Someone must have given it to it. After it received it, it carried it with it.

So, the question is, who gave Haruki Yoshitane the information?
Anyone who knows the identities of the three people with yellow dots is definitely one of us. They are traitors within the Red Party organization.

Strange?

Not surprisingly.

That's how brutal underground struggles are.

Traitors are always around.

Everyone is dancing on the edge of a knife.

One wrong move and something bad could happen.

How to do?
Let me offer a friendly reminder.

After all, there's not much he can do.

Silently following.

Quietly circle around to the front of the yellow dot.

The yellow dot suddenly turned into a secluded alley nearby.

He hid inside secretly for about ten minutes, then came out again, making sure there were no tails following him.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they've shaken off their tail.

Just now, someone had been following him. He thought he had been exposed.

fortunately……

Suddenly I felt something was wrong.

There's someone behind them.

I instinctively wanted to turn around, but it was too late.

My hands were grabbed from behind, turned around, and then handcuffed.

The other person was very strong. He was completely unable to resist.

"Crack!"

The handcuffs were firmly closed.

Suddenly my heart felt like death.

A thought flashed through my mind—

He's been arrested.

They had just arrived in Shanghai when they were captured by the Japanese invaders.

Damn...

How could this be?
How could this be?
Quiet.

Dead silence.

Zhang Yong reached out and pressed down on the other person.

We can't let the other person turn around. It's fine as it is now.

"Are you a member of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army?"

"No. I don't know anything about the Anti-Japanese Alliance..."

"You've been exposed."

Zhang Yong was too lazy to play games with the other party.

Simply unfold the paper and show it to the other person.

"Uh……"

Huangdian's throat bobbed violently.

He was no longer able to speak.

The names and addresses on the notes served as their cover identities and indicated their safe house.

"If you don't want to die, move over now!"

Zhang Yong said in a deep voice.

Then unlock the handcuffs.

The note was slipped to the other person.

Then it vanished instantly.

Yellow dot: ? ? ?
He turned around quickly.

They found that there was no one behind them.

The narrow alleyways and the streets outside were deserted.

"what happened?"

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Did I encounter a ghost?
In broad daylight... blink.

Rubbing eyes.

Nothing has changed.

It was as if no one had ever appeared behind him.

It took me a moment to realize what was happening.

He looked down at the note in his hand, his face tense.

That's right...

Everything that just happened was real...

Indeed, someone appeared behind him, reminding him that he had been exposed.

But is the other party a human or a ghost...?

Materialism simply cannot explain this...

I finally calmed down.

Where did the note come from?
How did you expose yourself?
Very few people know the situation.

unless……

The yellow dot looked unwell...

……

Zhang Yong drove back to his mansion on Xiafei Road.

After getting off the bus, he deliberately lingered for a while, making sure the observers could see clearly.

It was confirmed that Zhang Yong had returned to the mansion.

Then I packed up and teleported again.

He appeared directly inside the Japanese Consulate General. He casually emerged from Akiyama Aoi's bedroom.

He went out into the lobby, but no one was there. He picked up the phone without thinking.

"To the Nanjing Embassy."

"Tie!"

The call was answered quickly.

Zhang Yong went directly to Kenji Doihara.

"idiot!"

"That bastard again!"

Kenji Doihara was actually very reluctant to deal with the other party.

But not answering the phone isn't an option.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know what the other party might do next.

A madman.

He is also a master of swordsmanship.

It can take on the monsters in the Heavenly Dragon Dojo single-handedly.

Even the slightest oversight could lead to big trouble.

He truly hadn't expected that Wakayama Rogue's swordsmanship would be so formidable, capable of taking on the Tenryu Dojo single-handedly.

Now, everything is perfect; they've become famous overnight.

The name Da Xiong Zhuang San quickly became known to more people.

The former playboy of Wakayama has become the swordsman of Wakayama. Instantly, he's become something extraordinary.

It was even linked to the Kusanagi Sword by people.

As his fame grows rapidly, this guy will be surrounded by more and more accolades.

They'll be even harder to deal with from now on.

"What are you trying to do now?" Doihara gritted his teeth.

“Let’s have a friendly talk,” Zhang Yong said calmly.

"What to talk about?"

"A deal."

"What deal?"

"I can release all the people from the Mei Agency."

"What terms do you want?"

Kenji Doihara was certainly not stupid. He knew that money wouldn't just fall from the sky.

If the other party is willing to release the person, it's because they want to make higher demands.

"It's very simple."

"Not always."

"Give me that building."

"what?"

"You've moved the Mei Agency out, and I need that building for my office..."

"idiot!"

Kenji Doihara immediately became agitated.

I knew the other party had no good intentions.

Sure enough.

The dove occupies the magpie's nest.

They wanted to seize the office building of the Mei Agency.

That building was carefully selected by the Mei Agency. It had excellent conditions in every aspect.

It's spacious, bright, and grand.

The key point is that it's a detached building. Perfect for intelligence agencies.

If we move out, we simply won't be able to find a suitable second building in a short period of time.

"It seems you're not going to agree..."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Alright. I'll gather the journalists tomorrow and explain the situation to them..."

"Baka! You..."

Doihara choked again. He was trembling all over.

what?
Calling in journalists?
Asshole!
Inhuman.

If he were to summon journalists, Kenji Doihara would absolutely be subjected to a barrage of criticism.

Right now, all the news reporters are sucking up to Wakayama Kensei. Even if the other party is completely unreasonable, the reporters will still side with him.

Moreover, it is 100% certain that the Poison Agency will use money to bribe those reporters.

If things escalate, it will be Doihara who suffers.

hateful.

angry.

They were actually threatened by the other party.

But there is no way.

"Actually, there's no benefit in us continuing to fight like this..."

"You better understand."

"But I'm young. I have plenty of time. Even if I suffer some setbacks now, I can make a comeback later. But you're old..."

"Eight……"

Kenji Doihara instinctively wanted to curse again, but he managed to hold it in.

The other person poked my trachea. I can't react.

Indeed, that hits the nail on the head.

The other person is young. They have plenty of time.

Even if they suffer a temporary setback now, they will have plenty of opportunities to rise to power in the future.

That's a true master of swordsmanship!
There are also many background factors involved.

"Ugh……"

Doihara sighed helplessly.

I can't deny that I'm getting old.

"By the way, yesterday, Tsuji Masanobu, a staff officer at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, called me, hoping I could help investigate the Blue Dragon Society..."

Zhang Yong put even more pressure on Kenji Doihara.

Look!
The Kwantung Army headquarters also wants to see me.

This is the beginning.

More big shots will be contacting me in the future.

What is my current status? It will only get higher in the future. It will keep rising.

If you fight me now, we'll both suffer.

But if you fight me again in the future, it won't be as simple as just getting hurt.

I'll kill you!
"Furthermore, I am currently also serving as the head of the Imperial Navy's Special Intelligence Section in Shanghai..."

"Alright, I'll call Kagesa Yoshiaki..."

"That's good."

Zhang Yong was satisfied.

As expected, under the dual pressure, Doihara backed down.

A Kwantung Army headquarters and an Imperial Navy were certainly no match for Kenji Doihara. But why bother?
It's unnecessary to become irreconcilable enemies with the Poisonous Organs over a single building.

Let go wisely and cut your losses in time.

Put down the microphone.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

Wait a moment.

He picked up the microphone again.

"Receiving the Plum Blossoms."

"Tie!"

Mei's headquarters was under siege. But the telephone lines were not cut.

Communication between the people inside and the outside is unimpeded. Food and other necessities can also be delivered in.

The only ones who can't get out are those inside. Unless they're fearless.

Contact Kagesa Yoshiaki directly.

"you……"
