Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1108 Harboring Ambitions and Forming Factions

Yu Xuecheng accepted the order, his expression cold, and waved his hand, "According to Commander Lin's orders, proceed!"

In an instant, detectives rushed out and first identified a few people from the celebrating crowd.

These people were basking in their excitement, thinking their actions had gone undetected. But then they were suddenly plunged into hell, filled with terror. Some even wet their pants on the spot.

Of course, those who came to the Lin residence weren't exactly two-faced people with serious problems. It's just that these few people had received favors from Lin Ze and were promoted, but at the crucial moment, they ran to Wu Siyuan to curry favor. Their behavior was indeed despicable.

The others present all expressed their intention to distance themselves from these people. Lao Gao and the others looked at Lin Ze and smiled at each other.

Gao Shengping was even more impressed in his heart, thinking that Lin Ze's methods were so sophisticated, his measures so precise, and his results so good that they were unheard of.

The arrests of these individuals who were trying to pave their way out were just the appetizer; more intense arrests were unfolding throughout Beiping.

Wu Siyuan, Wang Heming, and others had been on tenterhooks at home for several days, and finally the finale arrived.

Yu Xuecheng personally led a team to the Wu family's residence, kicked open the door, and shouted, "Arrest Wu Siyuan first, then ransack the house! Find evidence that he's a spy!"

Wu Siyuan was already despondent, but still made a last-ditch effort: "I'm a former director, I'm a member of the governing committee! Your detective team isn't high enough level, you can't just arrest me like this!"

Yu Xuecheng sneered and waved his hand, and several Japanese officers came up behind him.

One of them said sternly, “I am Shimizu Go, the head of the Counter-Espionage Division of the Beiping Military Police Command. These people next to me are from the Special Service Department of the North China Area Army and the Information and Investigation Bureau of the Cabinet of the Imperial Japanese Empire. Wu Siyuan, you are suspected of providing intelligence to the resistance forces. We have obtained a document signed by Chairman Wang Mengqun, and you are no longer a member of the Governing Committee! If you dare to resist again, I will shoot you on the spot, understand?”

Wu Siyuan immediately knelt down on the ground and wet his pants.

She cried out, "I understand, I understand everything!"

During his years as a traitor, Wu Siyuan amassed quite a fortune, with many valuable items confiscated from his home, along with over a dozen concubines.

After a brief examination, the concubine released him, and Lin Ze accepted the money with a smile.

After all, a lot of money was spent on disaster relief. The money of these traitors was originally the hard-earned money of the people, and now it can be considered to have been taken from the people and used for the people.

The capture of Wang Heming was even more dramatic.

Wang Heming had even taken stock of all his assets. When Yu Xuecheng arrived with his men, Wang Heming knelt down and begged, "Captain Yu, Captain Yu, please have mercy on me and spare my life. All my property and women are yours!"

Yu Xuecheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Your property will be confiscated, and your woman will be released. As for whether we can spare your life, let's talk about that in the interrogation room."

That night, the detective team, the auxiliary police bureau, and the military police headquarters arrested over a hundred people, and the interrogation rooms were almost full.

After a surprise interrogation, these people confessed to a number of "rebels," which resulted in the arrest operation continuing for another day.

Director Niu personally compiled the report, characterizing this joint arrest operation as a "major victory for counter-espionage work in Beijing and Tianjin." It not only trained the counter-espionage team but also uncovered a group of long-hidden rebels. If things continue like this, the security of the entire North China region will be unbreakable, and the realization of East Asian co-prosperity will be just around the corner!

Lin Ze delivered the report to the North China Area Army Headquarters, and Okamura was delighted, signing it with a flourish.

He finished with a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, you've worked hard again this time."

Lin Ze remained modest as usual, saying, "If it weren't for General's presence, which acts like a pillar of strength to deter villains, some conspirators might have succeeded. I would also like to congratulate General in advance on your further advancement, so that in the future, it will not only be the security of North China, but the security of the entire China."

Okamura laughed heartily, "It's far too early to talk about this now, far too early!"

Given the current situation, it's a foregone conclusion that Okamura will take over as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force; it's just a matter of time. If things proceed quickly, he could probably take office by the end of this year, or even if things proceed slowly, he could achieve his goal by the beginning of next year.

Little did he know that even if he became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, he wouldn't have many good days left.

The Japanese are now at their last gasp; they are often just deceiving themselves.

Headquarters is frantically devising island warfare plans and is almost neglecting China's side.

With Germany's defeat in the war against the Russians in the north, the Allies' confidence soared. After some time, it is estimated that the Allies will start to consider what to do after the war is over.

After a few casual words, Okamura suddenly said with concern, "Lin-kun, let's have a private talk. In the past two years in North China, I've managed the situation perfectly, like an ironclad fortress. Although there are still Red zones in the west causing trouble, overall, my orders have been very effective, and I have a very strong grasp of the situation. If I'm promoted to Commander-in-Chief and go to Nanjing, North China..."

This bastard is thinking a lot; he wants a promotion, but he's unwilling to let go of his old ways.

Lin Ze said decisively, "You are the commander of the army group, and you have already created such a situation. After you become the commander-in-chief, it will only get better, not worse. If you are worried that after you go to Nanjing, North China will gradually slip out of your control, you should make plans as soon as possible."

"What are your plans?"

"It boils down to three things: money, people, and supervision. Money is easy to handle. The North China Materials Special Committee is being planned at an accelerated pace. This department was established with your support. As long as we control the production and distribution of materials in North China, the money problem will be solved."

"What about that person?"

"This requires your personal planning. Which people should be placed in which positions, especially in key positions, such as the chairman of the governing committee, the commanders of your various units, and the commander of the security forces. Although the security forces are not very effective in combat, they can still maintain local security."

Okamura took two cigarettes from the cigarette tray and handed one to Lin Ze. "Lin-kun, you're right. As for the Security Committee, Wang Mengqun is doing a good job. I'll make further adjustments to the commanders of the divisions and brigades. As for the Security Army... I'm thinking of promoting Xie Quan further. What do you think?"

Lin Ze shook his head. "To be honest, Xie Quan and I have a very close relationship. You have already entrusted me with important responsibilities, so it is not appropriate to promote Xie Quan further. He is already in charge of the Security Army Staff Department. If he goes any further, he will almost control the entire Security Army. At that time, some people will say that I am ambitious and forming cliques."

Okamura laughed heartily, "You, you, you're forming cliques? If you're forming cliques, then you're on my side, Okamura's side!"

Lin Ze smiled but remained silent.
