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

Chapter 1073 This time the harvest was quite substantial.

After giving Hanaya Masashi a small warning, Lin Ze did not linger at the military police headquarters and drove straight to the army headquarters.

As expected, Okamura had already arrived at the office and was waiting for news.

Seeing Lin Ze arrive, Okamura felt relieved. Instead of asking how things went, he asked with concern, "Lin-kun, have you had breakfast?"

Lin Ze coughed.

Don't do this, or I'll kill you again later!

But then I thought about it again, and realized that Naoto Matsuzaki had acted the same way back then, so I just killed him without hesitation.

"Thank you for your concern, General. I'm not hungry yet. I just went to the Military Police Headquarters. Kenji Tanabe has already confessed and is willing to cooperate with us. He just needs a guarantee so we can get him to Hong Kong."

Upon hearing that Tanabe Kenji had confessed, Okamura was overjoyed. He had thought that getting more evidence through interrogation would be good enough, and he never expected that a seasoned military police commander would confess!

He casually said, "He has a good idea. Go to Hong Kong, where the emperor is far away, right? Just agree to it. After we finish dealing with these matters, we'll find an opportunity to get rid of him."

Lin Ze shook his head. “General, I don’t recommend this. Tanabe Kenji is currently an important bargaining chip for you in your negotiations with Nanjing and even the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army. Of course, we should squeeze every last drop of value out of him. But I suggest we also make good arrangements for him later. As the saying goes, ‘a thousand pieces of gold are spent to buy a horse’s bones.’ Reputation is built up slowly. First there was Doi Hazumi, and now there is Tanabe Kenji. In the future, more people will be willing to cooperate with us.”

Okamura was a rather arrogant person, and if someone else had said this, he would definitely have been displeased. But after Lin Ze said it, he began to think about it seriously.

After a long pause, he slowly nodded. "I will arrange for my friends in Tokyo to handle it, Mr. Lin, don't worry."

Well, Lin Ze originally wanted to use his connections in Tokyo, but now that Okamura has taken over the matter, Lin Ze has saved himself a lot of trouble. This time, he's gone from being the executor to a mere middleman, not having to put in much effort and just reaping the benefits.

"General, it will be up to you to contact the Nanjing authorities personally. I have already instructed Hanaya Masaru to make full use of cross-evidence to ensure this case is flawless. You can talk to the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army and the Central China Army. As for the Nanjing Reform Government, I have Wang Mengqun contact them. If the General Headquarters doesn't want this matter to be exposed, they will definitely put pressure on the Nanjing Reform Government to force them to make concessions."

Compared to the loss of face for the Expeditionary Army Headquarters and the Central China Area Army, the small amount of money paid by the Nanjing Restoration Government and the unacquired grain were minor issues. When Hata Shungo put pressure on the Nanjing Restoration Government, Wang Jingwei would probably only be able to "end this matter as gracefully as possible." The so-called graceful end meant swallowing one's anger, making up for it, and even having to turn the other cheek after being slapped.

"Mr. Lin, I understand. Please don't leave Beiping yet. If anything happens, I will consult with you."

Lin Ze then took his leave. He had been busy for several days. He wasn't tired, but high-intensity work wasn't his style. He believed that he should enjoy himself while working.

First, I took a bath at the ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant), and then enjoyed some singing and dancing. Perhaps because it was too hot by the hot spring pool, the dancers were all dressed in very eco-friendly clothes, and some were even completely eco-friendly at the end.

Lin Ze lay half-reclined in the pool, holding a glass of chilled wine, and lazily beckoned to the lead dancer, "Come here, have you learned the Eighteen Deadly Squats?"

This girl was among the first group of Chinese girls trained by Angelina. Although she worked at the restaurant, she was only responsible for training the dancers and did not show her face in public.

The girl had an oval face, big eyes, and a high nose. With makeup, her red lips were luscious and she was charming and beautiful.

Upon hearing this, she lightly lifted her jade-like leg and stepped into the hot spring pool. The white veil on her body clung to her skin as the steam rose.

With a few light steps, she snuggled up to me and said coquettishly, "Master, how do you teach me the Eighteen Deadly Squats?"

Inside the private booths of the ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant), the dance continued, with the excellent dancers drenched in sweat.

..............

We ate lunch at the restaurant and also called Wang Mengqun over.

After a few days apart, Wang Mengqun started acting suspiciously, like a mouse, always looking around.

Lin Ze frowned and said, "Old Wang, what are you doing looking around like that? Have you eaten? If not, let's have a couple of drinks together."

Wang Mengqun whispered, "Master Lin, that Kishida Shoji you introduced me to... he wants me to meet with the Russians!"

Lin Ze picked up a peanut, chewed it slowly, and then took a sip of wine.

"Do whatever he tells you to do. Remember, this is a big deal and a good thing. If you do it well, people at headquarters will thank you. Keep it absolutely secret, and don't tell anyone!"

Wang Mengqun nodded, "Understood! I'll report back to you on the details of our meeting after I finish speaking with the Russian."

Lin Ze quickly waved his hand, "Hey, I don't want to hear that, I don't want to hear that. Ah, you know it yourself, I'll have Niu San'er treat you to dinner later. Come on, bring Chairman Wang a pot of wine!"

After the two had a few drinks, Wang Mengqun said, "Master Lin, I'm going to take care of things with Kishida Shoji. What should we do with this coordination team from Jinling?"

"No need to deal with them anymore, they'll be gone soon."

"About the grain..."

"What grain matter? From beginning to end, this is disaster relief grain. They spent money, Miyamoto provided the grain, and the grain was used for disaster relief. It's all clear and transparent. Anyone who keeps bringing this up isn't after the grain, but after the North China Area Army Headquarters. Their intentions are despicable!"

Wang Mengqun gave a thumbs up, "Master Lin is awesome!"

After finishing their meal, Wang Mengqun left the restaurant, and Lin Ze also packed up and went home.

Niu San'er has been extremely busy these past two days. In the signing room, Lin Ze asked Niu San'er, "Is that Kishida Shoji honest or not?"

Niu San'er reported: "We have raised his monitoring record to the highest level. We have not found any tendencies of his that are detrimental to you. After he met with Wang Mengqun, he behaved normally."

Lin Ze nodded, then suddenly remembered the order from headquarters.

"By the way, arrange for a telegram to be sent to headquarters in the name of the Golden Buddha Group, saying that Li Shiqun has been poisoned by us, but for security reasons, ask them not to release this news for the time being, and to release it later. When they do, make sure to specify that the source of the news is Nanjing, not Beiping. You can use strong wording and make sure they do as we say."

Niu San'er couldn't help but laugh; this time, the harvest was quite substantial!
