Early the next morning.

After listening to Mayu Watanabe talk in detail about the intelligence network he had carefully arranged in Xia Country for more than a year, Takuno Aoki couldn't help but admire:

"Watanabe-kun deserves to be the most outstanding agent in the empire, and he has achieved such results in a short period of time, building a relatively complete spy network system in Jincheng, Wanping and Nantang, the most important cities in the Xia Kingdom."

"It's not enough," Watanabe Mayu shook his head slightly: "I originally planned to build a large network in the eastern Xia, southern Xia, and northern Xia regions, and take these three points as the center, and radiate the depth of the Xia country with the dot belt, so that we can firmly grasp every move of the high-level of the Xia country." But what is shocking is that Yanagi-kun and Asada-kun, who came with me, died at the hands of the Spark Alliance, and there are no more capable people under my hands who can stand alone. That's why I applied to Lord Oda and asked Aoki-kun to come across the ocean to help me. ”

"Now that it's okay, as soon as Aoki-kun comes, we can let go and weave this net bigger and stronger, so that all the people of Xia will become the prey in our net."

"What should Aoki do, please show Watanabe-kun."

"You go to Beiping," Mayu Watanabe seems to have thought deeply: "It was the ancient capital of several dynasties, gathering the essence of Xia culture, and has been the political, economic, and cultural center of Xia for a hundred years, and its geographical location is quite important. I have a hunch that this may one day be the starting point for the Empire's full-scale conquest of the Xia Kingdom. ”

"Beiping?" Takuno Aoki got up and walked over to the map and studied it carefully.

"Not bad! Takuno Aoki said in surprise:

"Watanabe-kun, please see, the strategic position here is indeed very important, easy to defend and difficult to achieve. It is located at the junction of the Xiabei Plain and the Tai'a Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains, and then you see that its southeast is the plain, which belongs to the northwest edge of the Xiabei Plain, and the western mountains are the northeast remnants of the Tai'a Mountains, and the northern and northeastern mountains are the western branches of the Cangshan Mountains. And here is the traffic artery, can be south of the Yuanhai, can be east into the north of Xia, west into Tai'a, from the military point of view this is an excellent geographical location. ”

Mayu Watanabe smiled and nodded: "Aoki-kun is worthy of being a person valued by His Excellency Oda, and he can see at a glance that this place is extraordinary. ”

"Watanabe-kun is overrated." Aoki Takuno looked at the map and exclaimed: "Compared to the empire, the territory of the Xia Kingdom is really big!" "

However, how can such a humble and weak people occupy such good land and resources? He was jealous and disgruntled, and said disdainfully: "The weak are not qualified to have all this!" When the iron hooves of our Snow Nation army set foot on this land, the confidence of the Xia people will be crushed, and they will find that all their resistance is futile and meaningless, and they can only obediently surrender to the Empire. ”

Hearing Takuno Aoki say this in a contemptuous tone, Mayu Watanabe frowned slightly:

"Aoki-kun, don't underestimate the people of the Xia Kingdom, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss. To the empire, the current Xia Kingdom is still an elephant, but this once majestic behemoth is already old and sick. But even if it is gone, it is still not to be taken lightly. If we want to completely conquer Xia, we must fully understand its regional culture, folk customs, and make good use of the existing class contradictions in its country to weaken its vitality. ”

"Thank you Watanabe-kun for the reminder, Aoki must have this in mind, and I will leave for Beiping now."

Takuno Aoki bowed slightly to Mayu Watanabe and turned around and walked out, but he didn't pay much attention to his warning.

Looking at his back, Mayu Watanabe sighed and said to Inoue Akira: "Aoki-kun is indeed a very good talent, but his personality is not calm enough, he has not dealt with the Xia people yet, and he doesn't know how terrible they are. If you rashly despise the enemy, you will suffer a big loss, so you go to Beiping with him, and remember to remind him when it is critical. ”

"If I leave, then ...... Your Excellency?"

Mayu Watanabe shook his head: "I'm fine here, you can go with him."

……

Beiping.

At night, the ancient city hides the hustle and bustle of the day, as if you have slept peacefully.

No. 9 Heping Street, Haixin District, this is a courtyard house left over from the previous dynasty, located deep in a long alley. The boxy courtyard is carved with the remnants of wind erosion, and the brick cracks and tiles flow with the old time, which is simple but endlessly exudes a strong historical atmosphere.

However, in this peaceful night, there is a cold killing machine. A group of shadowy figures walked gently from the entrance of the alley, cautiously surrounding the door, led by Lu Xiaodong, director of the Beiping Division of the military aircraft.

"Ah Si, are you sure it's here?" Lu Xiaodong looked at a glimmering window in the crack of the door and asked quietly.

The spy named Ah Si next to him replied affirmatively: "It's here, the intelligence says that the main underground leaders of the Spark Alliance have all gathered here for a meeting tonight. ”

"Okay, get ready for action. Brothers, when the time has come to make meritorious contributions, we will all give Lao Tzu a bright spot, and strive to catch all these people, and then I will ask for merit for everyone in front of the seat. Lu Xiaodong's eyes lit up and said excitedly.

In the darkness, an agent volunteered to climb the wall, ready to open the door from the inside. But as soon as he climbed up the wall, a crisp gunshot suddenly rang out, and the agent let out a scream and fell off the wall.

"There are spies, hide quickly." A hurried sound came from inside the courtyard, and the lights in the house were extinguished at once.

"It's not good, they found out," Lu Xiaodong's face changed, "Blow the door open, hurry up and attack them so that they don't run away." ”

"Boom!"

After a violent explosion, the gate was blown apart. Lu Xiaodong and the others jumped up from their hiding place and quickly rushed towards the door.

As soon as they burst into the courtyard, several dazzling flashlight lights burst into their eyes. Subconsciously, Lu Xiaodong and the others raised their hands to cover their eyes. Before they could react, a burst of gunfire rang out, and several spies standing in front of Lu Xiaodong were shot and fell down instantly.

"It's not good, get out of here!" Lu Xiaodong was anxious and just shouted, and a bullet happened to hit his forehead impartially.

"Fourth brother, what should we do now?" One of the agents who escaped from the door asked with a trembling voice.

"What else can I do? Director Lu and several of his brothers are dead, and now people want us to go in, and you have seen it, and when they go in and take a flashlight, the brothers will become live targets. And we don't dare to use flashlights outside, and we still become live targets when we turn on the lights. ”

"Withdraw."

Ah Si made a quick decision.

A group of people came and went in a hurry, and they couldn't even care about the corpses of their companions.

……

Nantang, Xishan No. 1 Compound.

Dai Lianzhong was so angry that he threw the message on the ground and scolded: "Waste! It's all rubbish! Damn, it's really stealing chickens and rice. ”

"Come on, call Zhang Yunrui to me."

After a while, Zhang Yunrui hurriedly walked over, saw Dai Lianzhong's face angry, and asked, "Seat, what's going on?" ”

"See for yourself!" Dai Lianzhong said angrily as he looked at the telegram on the ground.

Zhang Yunrui picked up the message and read it, frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen?" ”

"Lu Xiaodong, this waste, took people to sneak attack the underground personnel of the Beiping Spark Alliance at night, but he didn't catch them, but he lost his life instead, and broke several brothers." Dai Lianzhong forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart:

"Director Zhang, I now appoint you as the director of the Beiping Military Aircraft Division, and immediately set off to Beiping to clean up the mess for Lu Xiaodong's bastard."

"Yes, seated." Zhang Yunrui snapped his feet together.
