Genius Agent

Chapter 120 Tonight's Operation

Regarding the sanctions operation at Shanghai Station, it's highly likely that the intelligence team was responsible for gathering intelligence, while the actual execution of the operation was carried out by the action team.

These types of missions always involve deploying operatives. The intelligence team consists of elites, while the operative team is different; they can be directly supplemented with top-notch military personnel.

The same goes for the Special Higher Police. Endo Takumi doesn't have many people at his disposal, so he won't use these intelligence elites to fight against the action team members in Shanghai. He will definitely send the action team to carry out the mission.

The Special Higher Police's action team only lost one member last time, which is far from enough.

These roughnecks in the action group were the worst; they even openly mocked me to my face. They all deserve to die.

"Kato, this is an opportunity. Mizuno is going back to headquarters to report for duty and will most likely not be coming back. The team leader will probably be promoted, and I can become the deputy team leader. I will hand over the position of team leader to you."

Endo instructed Kato Ken, who immediately nodded, "Please rest assured, Captain, I guarantee I'll complete the mission. But what about our investigation into the previous case?"

"Hold on for now. The traitor is too well hidden and difficult to find right now. Keep this matter a secret and don't give the traitor any opportunity."

Endo waved his hand, saying that the most important thing right now was the "Yellow Bird Plan," and everything else could be put on hold.

"Don't worry, I will keep this a secret and won't tell anyone."

Kato Ken immediately nodded. He wanted to take revenge on the action team members, and he wouldn't tell anyone before the operation.

If he speaks out and the Chinese don't punish him, or instead kill him in other ways, how can he retaliate?

The team leader's "Owl Plan" was actually very simple: take advantage of the Shanghai station's attempt to target Jiang Mushan to turn the tables on the Shanghai station.

But what if the people at Shanghai Station knew before the operation?

People who are wary are not so easy to kill, and it will bring them losses.

The more members of the action team die, the better. As for the Chinese, what does it matter to us if they all die?

His injuries were inflicted on him by the Chinese.

Therefore, as long as they fight, he won't suffer any losses either way, making this a very worthwhile deal.

As for keeping it a secret, Ken Kato had no worries whatsoever.

If the secret was leaked after the action team members were involved, then it has nothing to do with the intelligence team. If he was an inside man, the people at the Shanghai station would not have fallen into the trap.

No one can suspect him in this matter.

With his revenge plan in mind, Ken Kato was in a very good mood.

At Shanghai Station, the intelligence team had almost figured out Jiang Mushan's whereabouts.

Kato Ken was right. The intelligence team had no intention of handling this kind of sanction mission on their own. After finding out about Jiang Mushan's situation, team leader Du Ruolin invited Cao Lijun over.

"Team Leader Cao, this is all the information about Jiang Mushan. The station chief's idea is that you will carry out the plan, with the intelligence team providing assistance."

After having the investigation results explained, Du Ruolin said directly that Station Chief Wang Hengxin hadn't paid much attention to this case.

If the old man hadn't already known about it, he wouldn't have even bothered to ask.

Punishing a corrupt military officer is a very simple task for them. With the credit for arresting six Japanese spies last time, Wang Hengxin is not worried about his position at all.

He never considered transferring back to headquarters.

The headquarters was too big; he was far more comfortable staying in Shanghai.

"No problem, how many people are needed for the operation?"

Cao Lijun had already understood what was going on. Indeed, assassinating a corrupt military officer was nothing special, and the higher-ups hadn't required them to bring the person back.

"Team Leader Cao, you handle it."

Du Ruolin smiled. He didn't overstep his bounds. He didn't deserve much credit for this case. The higher-ups just wanted Jiang Mushan dead so he wouldn't come out and disgust people.

Within the foreign concessions, killing someone was far easier than arresting them.

"I'll send a small team over."

After thinking for a moment, Cao Lijun casually said that Shanghai Station was a major station, with an action team of more than a hundred people.

A small squad has more than a dozen people; that's more than enough to kill a corrupt military officer.

"Okay, thank you for your support, Team Leader Cao. I'll arrange for two people to assist you."

The two of them finalized their action plan. Two people from the intelligence team were assigned to guide them and explain Jiang Mushan's situation.

They are not involved in the operations.

The task force consisted of nine people: three were responsible for the direct assassination, three provided backup, and the remaining members observed the surrounding environment and were prepared to adapt to any situation.

For example, the location of the police officers, the earliest time they might arrive, etc.

Just make sure your own people evacuate safely.

As for guns, they have ways to smuggle them in, and if they can't, they can get weapons for them through the Green Gang.

At the newspaper office, Su Yuncheng was unaware of the situation at the Shanghai station and the Special Higher Police.

He has been training Huang Chuanming during this period.

Huang Chuanming has made good progress. He has finished learning about firearms, and now he is being taught what he needs to know in intelligence gathering.

These types are more complicated and don't require learning at the training ground.

Two batches of newspaper employees have already finished their training, and now Huang Chuanming, who has the longest training period, has also ostensibly finished his training.

Su Yuncheng never stopped secretly training him.

"Editor-in-chief, we only have over thirty people who signed up this time. That's a bit low. Should we try again?"

The newspaper was hiring, but after only one day of playing games at my own newspaper, fewer people showed up.

They need fifteen people this time, and while thirty-odd people seem like enough, there are definitely some who don't meet their requirements.

Sifting them out might not be enough.

"No rush, we can recruit people gradually. Let's keep as many as we can this time."

Su Yuncheng shook his head. This time was different from before. This time, they would also recruit people who could be trained to become special agents.

Muto Shio has such great ambitions; the newspaper is his intelligence department, and two people are definitely not enough.

In the future, newspapers must possess all the capabilities of professional intelligence.

Even the personnel involved in the operation may need to be prepared.

They may not have much power on the surface, but they can do a lot of things behind the scenes.

"Okay, I'll go tell them to all come tomorrow."

Huang Chuanming nodded. Su Yuncheng didn't care about the number of people, so he wouldn't continue to object.

This time, they need to recruit intelligence personnel. He has already reported to Lao Meng and suggested sending a comrade over. He and this comrade can work together in the newspaper office to collect intelligence and help the organization.

Old Meng refused, but he reported the matter to Secretary Xiao.

Old Meng made no suggestions to Secretary Xiao; if the newspaper needed to increase its staff, Secretary Xiao would make the decision.

Moreover, even if more people are added, the organization will not let Huang Chuanming know the identity of the new personnel, nor will the new personnel know Huang Chuanming's identity.

It seems like things are going well for the two of them together, but once things are exposed, they'll be together in a different way.

The organization now places the utmost importance on safety and will never allow its comrades to take any unnecessary risks.

Huang Chuanming had only been in the organization for a short time and was unaware of these things.

"Captain, they plan to act tonight."

The next day, Kato Ken arrived at Endo's office. Qian Hao had brought the latest intelligence that morning: the Shanghai station was going to take action against Jiang Mushan that night.

The location is a dance hall.

After they impose sanctions tonight, someone will arrange for them to go into hiding and sneak out of the French Concession tomorrow.

The team consists of one squad from the action group, plus two members from the intelligence group.

To Qian Hao's dismay, he was also inside. He specifically told Kato Ken that he must ensure Kato's safety.
