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

Chapter 1096 We Added 5 to 21

Tianjin, Lin Mansion.

A call came from Beiping, and Yu Xuecheng gave a brief report: "Reporting to Master Lin, all the resistance fighters who intended to disrupt the security of Beiping's inner city have been eliminated, and the spy chief, Moriyama Toshiki, has been captured."

Lin Ze instructed, "Detain Moriyama under strict guard. I will have Hanaya Tadashi or Kitahara Ransuke interrogate him later."

Yu Xuecheng couldn't understand why Master Lin would make such an arrangement, but obeying Master Lin's orders unconditionally was his instinct.

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ze called Hanaya Masashi.

"Hanaguchi-kun, I am Lin Ze."

Hanaya Masaharu was sitting comfortably in his office, with his legs propped up on the desk.

Upon hearing Lin Ze's voice, he hurriedly stood up, his knee bumping against the edge of the table, causing him to wince in pain.

"Ha Yi, Commander Lin, what are the arrangements?"

"Did you know there's been some trouble in Beiping?"

Hanaya was bowing and scraping. "Hah! My men just reported to me that a group of ronin stormed your residence in Beiping and clashed with the security personnel of the Assistant Administration Bureau, which resulted in bloodshed."

"Hanaya-kun, this isn't an attack on me, nor on the Auxiliary Bureau. Do you know who's behind this? It's Shibayama Kenshiro. He's retaliating. Don't forget, you were able to achieve great things last time by capturing Tanabe Kenji and confirming that Shibayama Kenshiro orchestrated the murder, which forced him to leave China and be recalled to Tokyo. Now he wants to fight back. You have two choices. First, the Beiping Military Police Command should remain silent. After all, Shibayama only wants to target me right now. You can continue to observe the situation before making a decision. Second, Hanaya-kun, the Hanaya family has been quiet for so long. If you don't choose a side now, you might not have another chance."

The Hanaya family has always followed the path of the "pan-army faction," but the problem is that there are now many factions within the army. The two most prominent factions are the continental faction led by Okamura, Terauchi, and others, who believe that they should rely on the existing military occupation in East Asia to increase the efforts to digest the existing territory in order to ensure the smooth supply of strategic materials. For example, Okamura carried out a large-scale security campaign in North China in order to integrate the resources of North China and support the army group.

The other faction is the radicals. Although Tojo is not the official leader, he is quite radical. Another characteristic of the radicals is that, in addition to being extremely fanatical in military matters, they are extremely conservative in personnel matters. This can be seen from Shibayama Kenshiro's attitude towards the Jinling Restoration Government and Hayashi Sawa.

The Hanaya family is currently indecisive and hesitant, but in reality, there have never been spies who didn't take sides throughout history.

Those who work in this industry have to choose sides; if they don't, they can only be passively sidelined.

Hanaya Masashi, who had been repeatedly manipulated by Lin Ze, was startled by these words.

After struggling in his mind for about a minute, Hua Gu was thinking that ever since he came to China, as long as he listened to Lin Ze, everything would be good; as long as he didn't listen to Lin Ze or tried to play any tricks, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, Hua Guzheng exclaimed loudly, "Lord Lin, you have been incredibly kind to me! Please give the order!"

"Alright, the person in charge of carrying out this raid is Toshiki Moriyama, a leader of the Black Dragon Society. He's been captured and is being held by Yu Xuecheng in the detective team. Go and interrogate him. Remember, this Toshiki Moriyama is a spy for the American intelligence agency. He has secret funds provided to him by the Americans in his account at the Yokohama Specie Bank. As for his relationship with Kenjiro Shibayama, and whether Kenjiro Shibayama is suspected of being a spy, that's something you'll need to figure out, understand?"

Hanaya Masashi was startled.

If he hadn't chosen to firmly support Commander Lin today, but instead chose to remain on the sidelines, would he one day also be labeled a spy?

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze instructed Niu San'er, "Find Dominic; I have something to arrange."

Before long, Dominic arrived in a car speeding from the port construction site.

The head of the Far East branch of the American intelligence agency was as docile as Garfield in front of Lin Ze.

"Master Lin, what are your orders?"

"Someone is plotting against me. I need your intelligence agency's help. Have you arrested quite a few Japanese spies on your home turf?"

"It can't be considered a lot, but the Japanese captured quite a few civilians and put them in the desert."

Now the Americans and the Japanese are truly fighting to the death. The Japanese set up a concentration camp in Weixian and imprisoned many American expatriates. The Americans retaliated in kind, arresting more than 120,000 people of Japanese descent.

Note that these were not Japanese immigrants, but people of Japanese descent. These 120,000 people were then taken directly to the inland desert and a concentration camp was built there. Given the usual practices of the Americans, the fact that they could do something like this shows that they were truly desperate.

"After a while, ask your bureau's external coordination personnel to come forward and coordinate with the Japanese Special Higher Police to exchange overseas Chinese for an intelligence officer named Moriyama Toshiki. Just say that the number is negotiable."

Dominic suddenly realized, "Mr. Lin, is this Moriyama Toshiki trying to harm you?"

“There are people behind him, but this bastard is the one who actually carried it out.”

Dominic thought for a moment, “Master Lin, asking for people directly like this will inevitably arouse suspicion. Why not add another layer in between? I’ll find an American, have him arrested in Beiping, and then have the intelligence bureau propose to exchange him for prisoners. Then, we can have this American confess his subordinates, and Moriyama Toshiki is his subordinate.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze exclaimed, "Wow, Dominic is really proactive!"

"This is very dangerous. Would anyone be willing to do it? We need to find a reliable person; it's a very serious matter."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. You saved all those people in the former concession. This matter is dangerous, but with your protection in Beijing and Tianjin, they won't lose their lives. They might even turn misfortune into good fortune and return to America!"

Lin Ze patted Dominic on the shoulder and said, "Old Dominic, you've done a great job. I won't let you work for nothing. I have some very valuable intelligence that I think your higher-ups will be interested in. The Japanese and the Russians have reached an agreement on the mutual withdrawal of troops in the Far East. I'll have Niu San'er compile the details of the withdrawal for you."

Dominic was overjoyed!

Master Lin is very particular!

If you were to buy this information, you wouldn't be able to get it for less than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

I've only done Master Lin a favor, and he's already being so generous!

"No, no, Mr. Lin, this intelligence is too valuable. The bureau is not short of money. It is only right that I help you, because you have helped us so much. We still have to pay for the intelligence."

Lin Ze smiled and said, "Then you decide how much this intelligence is worth. Once your bureau approves the funding, we'll split it 50/50."

Dominic was bubbling with gratitude.

Mr. Lin, you're quite something!
