Chapter 831: Hase Mansion
Chapter 831 Hase Mansion
In Shanghai, a small building on Baoshan Road, Zhabei is crowded with people, and a group of people are moving furniture, various office supplies and documents into the house from the truck.
This is the location of the Hasegawa Agency, an intelligence agency directly led by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and cooperated with the Japanese Navy and Army.
The local code-named Hasegawa Mansion is responsible for collecting political and economic information from the government and performing some counter-espionage functions that monitor the military.
As the person in charge, Hasegawa Ryosuke stood in front of a window on the rooftop, looking at the staff below and smiling with satisfaction.
With these people, his intelligence channels will be more extensive, which means he can make more money and go to other countries and countries earlier to live the life he dreams of.
"Yo Xi~"
Haseguru said to himself, raised his hand and looked at his watch, turned around and walked to the corner of the office, turned on the radio switch, and turned the frequency regulator knob to a specific frequency.
After a loud electric current, a sound came from the speaker: "On this festival~ Our company will hold a reception party on the 7th of this month, and invite... to meet..."
Hearing the word "meeting", Hagu, who was originally lazy, immediately sat upright, his face full of caution. When the advertisement ended, his frequency modulation knob was disrupted, put on his clothes and left the agency's station.
It is logical that there are strict discipline requirements for access and exit of intelligence agencies. Registration and inspection procedures are inevitable, even the person in charge is no exception.
But the guard at the door did not do this, but instead enthusiastically sent the head of the agency out of the door, with flattery in his words.
Because they are not only staff members of Hasegawa Mansion, but also members of the "Unofficial Material Transportation" activity, their parents will naturally not be able to stand up.
Besides, discipline belongs to discipline, and human relationships and worldly ways belong to human relationships and worldly ways. No normal people will offend their immediate boss for a few regulations.
Moreover, the purpose of the inspection and registration is to prevent someone from stealing secrets, but that is for ordinary people. As for the inspection agency director, there is no need for this at all.
Those who can serve as heads of intelligence agencies are not the most loyal minister of the Locust, and those who are not the best people of the empire. Such people will never betray the Japanese Empire.
Hasegur Hasegur, who was sent out, drove around Shanghai and met several Japanese spies lurking in the public concession and the French concession. Then he drove to Triangle Park, got out of the car and disappeared into the crowd.
Half an hour later, after checking for the stalkers behind him, he sat back on the driver's seat, looked around vigilantly, and quietly unfolded a note of his hand under the steering wheel.
"In detail, the information of Toshio Akihara, the third-class consultant of the Japanese Embassy in Switzerland in the 16th year of the Republic of China."
Looking at the information taken out of the dead mailbox, Hasegawa Ryoshi fired the note with a lighter expressionlessly, thinking quickly in his mind.
The consultant is a person responsible for assisting ambassadors and consuls in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs system. There is no fixed quota in terms of the number of people, nor does he have actual positions.
Since this guy named Toshio Akihara can be noticed by the Secret Service, he is likely to be a special agent. Considering that the consultant does not occupy the editor's character, the other party is likely to be an intelligence officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Otherwise, the other party should have served in the Consulate Intelligence Department like him. After all, the position of counselor only sounds nice but has no power. It is most appropriate to use it to resettle personnel from other aspects.
Open a crack in the car window, and the cold wind quickly blew the smell of smoke in the car through the gap, and Hasegawa Ryosuke looked ahead and fell into thought.
So where should we start investigating Toshio Akihara? We can’t apply to Tokyo to access this person’s information directly. Once something happens to the other party, it is easy for people to suspect him.
Suddenly, he thought of his former colleague, the squad leader of the special work squad of the Shanghai Consulate Intelligence Department, and Nobuo Kato, who is affiliated with the Army General Staff Headquarters.
The other party is also a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the editor of the special working class. The funding and personnel appointments are also out of the plan. Will Toshio Akihara be a member of the army with him?
It seems that we can first test it with Nobuo Kato. If there is no result, it will not be too late to ask Tokyo's partners to investigate Toshio Akihara, but that is the last solution.
Hasegawa Ryosuke quickly made a plan, started the car and drove to Hongkou, found a phone number to call Nobuo Kato, and made an appointment with the other party to have dinner with him.
When he heard that his former old colleague and the current director of the agency invited him, Nobuo Kato readily agreed that intelligence personnel are also human and have private lives, and it is impossible to completely cut off contact with the outside world.
More importantly, with the establishment of Hasegawa Mansion, the status of the Consulate Intelligence Department has declined, and even the Intelligence Minister Iwai is looking for a way out and is preparing to transfer back to the local area.
The situation of his "outsider" is even more embarrassing. There is no certainty in whether to stay or leave. It may be a good thing to find a position in Hasegawa Mansion.
So that night, Nobuo Kato rushed to the restaurant with a bag of small gifts before the agreed time, and respectfully waited for Hasegur Ryosuke's arrival.
Soon, Hagu walked into the box under the protection of several strong spies, laughed and said hello to him, and then the big sword Jinfu sat down at the upper head.
Facing his energetic old friend, Nobuo Kato seemed to have become a lemon essence at this moment. He felt so sad that he wanted to replace him, but he sat down obediently on the surface.
After ordering some wine and food at will, Hasegawa Ryosuke asked the bodyguard to go outside to stare, and smiled and told the other party about the old days, even if he had only left the consulate for half a month.
One of them deliberately made a cliché and the other deliberately flattered him. They had a very happy chat. When the wine and meat were served, you started drinking one cup by one.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Hasea Ryosuke, whose face was flushed, slowly put down his wine glass, burped, and pretended to ask a question accidentally.
"Kato, you have been working in the Republic of China for several years. Why haven't you been promoted? The General Staff Headquarters is too harsh. I think you are fully qualified to serve as the Deputy Minister of the Intelligence Department."
Hase, who turned into an expert in fire, was puzzled and stirred up the dissatisfaction and anger of Kato Nobuo in just one sentence.
Kato raised his glass with red eyes and drank it all, sighing: "Oh, Lord Hase, since all the hidden personnel in the special work team were wiped out, I, as the squad leader, have died in name only.
You may know that there are two working places for the special work team, one is Shanghai and the other is Jinling. Shanghai already has direct agents from the General Staff Headquarters, so if something happened to Jinling, I lost my value in Tokyo."
He still doesn't understand how his subordinates were exposed. The most likely thing is that there was a problem within the General Staff Headquarters, and he unfortunately became a scapegoat.
Hasegawa Ryosuke smiled secretly, patted the other person's shoulder with great sympathy, and comforted him: "Kato, I'm wronged. I will find a way to operate for you and transfer you to my Hasegawa Mansion to work and be responsible for the intelligence business.
Intelligence personnel like you who have been trained should not waste time and life in special work classes. I think those colleagues who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like you must now become senior agents with high authority, right?
Especially those who work in developed Omega countries, such as intelligence personnel from the British, American, French, Swiss, and German consulates, they don’t need to do anything at all and can obtain important positions based on their work qualifications.
But it is really angering for people like Kato who really do things for the empire to bear the pressure and responsibilities that they should not bear. I cannot let this happen. I must seek justice for you, please rest assured."
"Hisan Hasegawa."
Nobuo Kato, who felt wronged, felt so excited when he heard these words. He stood up and bowed to the other party, and said sincerely.
"Thank you for your help. After arriving at Hasegawa Mansion, I will work hard and build an intelligence network as quickly as possible so as to grasp the intelligence of the people of the Republic of China, so that you will not waste your wishes."
"Hahaha, the words are serious, Kato Kun."
Hasegawa Ryosuke signaled him to sit down and said seriously: "I just don't want to see an intelligence elite wasted. The great cause of the empire needs talents like you."
You don’t have to be discouraged. Our friends are all over the cabinet, locusts, and the army. They are very powerful and have their help. It won’t take long for you to catch up with those people."
This is by no means bragging. Hase does have the ability and connections to let Kato embark on the express lane of official career. After all, no one doesn’t like Holy Tide (a portrait of Japanese 100-dollar banknotes).
Of course, Nobuo Kato understood this, and was excited and a little unbelievable. Not to mention the army intelligence personnel who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before him, even those of him at the same time would have become Nakasa.
Thinking of Hasegawa's first question, whether his colleagues who were working in Europe had become senior agents with high power, he felt that the other party helped him was really just for justice.
impossible!
Only children believe this reason.
Without realistic interests, who would do thankless things? Perhaps Hagu wanted to use this opportunity to meet more people and escort the "unofficial material transportation" activity.
Knowing that he had been exploited, he felt relieved and began to introduce in detail the information of the heads of the General Staff Head Office in various countries. These were not secrets to him.
Because they all graduated from Tuoxian University and Lu Shi, who trained spies to China. In addition to those who carried out secrets, the others contacted each other and discussed their current situations.
While eating, Ryosuke Hasegawa listened and occasionally raised his glass to toast. It didn't take long to fill the other party with drunkenness.
The drunken Nobuo Kato completely lost his vigilance. When he mentioned the Swiss consulate, he stumblingly said: "One of my seniors used to be a counselor at the Bern Consulate and was promoted to the Central Sect in just three years.
He was then transferred back to the army system and served as the Attachment of the General Staff Headquarters. I heard that this year he would be responsible for a secret agency called the Rear Service Training Institute with the rank of Colonel. I can introduce His Excellency Hasegawa to know him."
"Oh? What's your senior name for Kato-kun?"
Haseguro asked calmly.
"Akihara...Akihara Toshio."
After Kato Nobuo said that, his head slammed on the table with a bang.
Chapter completed!
