Chapter 840 Because of Respect
Commander Nishio was visibly stunned for a moment, then, after a while, he seemed to understand something and murmured, "It seems that Nakanishi-kun is trying to buy time for his accomplices to escape."
"No, we can't let him do this."
Abe Mitsuhiro whispered, "Commander-in-chief, you should know that Nakanishi-kun is an expert in intelligence work."
"From the time he became your personal secretary to now, he has been working in the intelligence line for more than ten years."
"He is well aware of the various interrogation methods we have. I am sure that neither torture nor drugs will be effective in a short period of time."
"Minister Chen also understands this, so he is using the conversation to try to gradually lower Mr. Zhongxi's guard."
"The pain will only make Zhong Xijun more alert. Minister Chen's method may be more effective."
"Moreover, even if the worst outcome is the case, he has promised Minister Chen that he will tell everything he knows at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"By then, we can also give an explanation to others."
Upon hearing this, Commander Nishio collapsed like a deflated ball.
He knew very well that what Abe Mitsuhiro said was indeed the truth.
It’s true that Chen Yang is quite capable, but when it comes to intelligence, Zhong Xigong can definitely be his master.
Wouldn't it be a bit difficult to force a professional intelligence officer to surrender through criminal law or even drugs?
After all, they have been trained in this area a long time ago.
"Abe-kun, please go down and leave me alone."
Commander Nishio's voice slowly rang out.
"Hi." Mitsuhiro Abe bowed slightly and walked out of the office.
At the same time, in another corner of Shanghai, on the third floor of Yue Longsha.
Major General Mizukawa from the Information Department, Colonel Takeda from the Special Service Department, and Colonel Yamagishi, deputy director of the Chinese Affairs Team, were drinking alone.
Different from their previous high spirits, today these people seemed to be worried when they came in.
Especially Kenichi Yamagishi, he hardly smiled the whole night.
The woman accompanying him was his sister-in-law, Hanako Hiizumi, who came from Kyushu Island, Japan.
Miss Hanako's figure is one of the best in Tsukitani, with measurements of 88-62-93D.
She could definitely be described as having big breasts and a round butt. In the past, Colonel Yamagishi couldn't help himself whenever he saw her.
Today, there was no reaction at all, just sighing continuously.
"Yamagishi-kun, don't worry too much."
"What happened to Mr. Nakanishi has nothing to do with you." Major General Mizukawa picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Kenichi Yamagishi.
"Mr. Mizukawa, this is not something you can just say is okay."
Kenichi Yamagishi tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine. The wine that used to be delicious now tasted bitter.
"Alas, I never thought that Mr. Zhongxi would be a member of the Red Party."
"Our department has always been led by Nakanishi-kun. Now that he has gotten into such a big trouble, the Army Department will definitely not trust us."
“It’s only a matter of time before this department is abolished.”
"Takeda-kun, your secret service department was also organized by Nakanishi-kun."
“I don’t know if you will be affected.”
Colonel Nobuo Takeda frowned and said, "Mr. Nakanishi has been transferred out of the Special Service Department a long time ago, so I shouldn't be implicated."
"What I'm worried about now is that someone will make a fuss about Lord Zhongxi's affairs and try to punish the entire clan."
"After all, the construction of the entire intelligence line of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was previously in charge of Mr. Nakanishi."
"In order to prevent the enemy from knowing our work process, the military may choose to abandon the entire intelligence line."
"By then, not to mention the Special Agents Department and the Chinese Affairs Class, even the Information Department and the War Command Department will have to be reorganized."
“All personnel will also be replaced.”
“Replacing all the personnel in the intelligence agencies isn’t that serious, right?” Major General Mizukawa’s hand holding the wine glass began to tremble.
Takeda Nobuo picked up the wine glass, took a big gulp and said, "Mr. Mizukawa, don't think I'm exaggerating."
"You are in this position, so you naturally know that intelligence agencies are the eyes and nose of the military."
"If the adversary can clearly know where your eyes are looking and what your nose can smell, the role of intelligence agencies will be greatly limited."
"What's more, Director Nakanishi was involved in the establishment and operation of several major intelligence agencies of the expeditionary force, and can even be said to be one of the designers."
"The local side will definitely take some action considering this."
"Now it all depends on what Minister Chen can do." Yamagishi Kenichi suddenly interrupted, "If Minister Chen can successfully obtain the confession, recover the information, and minimize the impact of the incident, we may still be able to escape."
"But if things don't go well and things get out of hand, someone will have to take responsibility."
"The first to be affected is our Chinese Special Affairs Team, eh..."
At this point, Yamagishi Kenichi sighed again, and Major General Mizukawa quickly picked up the wine glass and comforted him: "Takeda-kun, Yamagishi-kun. The matter may not be as serious as you think."
"Don't worry, Minister Chen will bring us good news..."
"I hope so." Yamagishi Kenichi replied weakly, his face still showing a worried look...
Expeditionary Force Headquarters, interrogation room.
A dim white light was already appearing outside the window, and bursts of hearty laughter were echoing in the interrogation room.
There were several plates of exquisite side dishes piled on the long table, and a few empty bottles were scattered on the ground.
"Mr. Zhongxi, you can't drink much." Chen Yang smiled and filled the wine glass in front of Mr. Zhongxi.
A crucial interrogation suddenly turned into a banquet, and no one would believe it if this situation were told to others.
"Zhong Xigong's face flushed, he picked up the wine glass, slurped it, and then let out a long breath.
"Minister Chen, you are really a strange person." Zhong Xigong shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that I am basically finished when I come in this time."
"When I was the personal secretary of Mr. Nishio, you didn't come to drink with me."
"Now I'm a prisoner, and I might be executed tomorrow, but you're willing to drink with me."
"Don't tell me what kind of intelligence you are after. With your status, this information won't allow you to make any further progress."
"It can be said that whether I say it or not, it doesn't matter much to Minister Chen."
"You are willing to stay here and drink with me all night."
"Others say that you are greedy and do whatever it takes. In my opinion, this is just your protective color."
"Minister Chen, you are definitely not as superficial as you appear."
Chen Yang picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said, "Mr. Zhongxi, you think too much."
"When we go out into the world, we naturally put profit first."
"As for why I spent the whole night drinking with you, haha, it's because I respect you,"
"Frankly speaking, anyone with faith deserves respect, let alone someone like you, Nakanishi-kun."
Zhong Xigong held the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff, unbuttoned the button around his neck, and then put out the cigarette forcefully. He said to Chen Yang, "Minister Chen, it's almost time. Ask whatever you want to ask now."
