In a high-end apartment in Shanghai, Naoto Echizen received a phone call from Hong Kong.

During the last assassination, Naoto Echizen was very unhappy with Kurt's behavior of throwing out the Japanese as substitutes. What made him especially angry was that Kurt and his team had been on the periphery and had been on the sidelines. He sent three fools to the Americans, but he thought that the most he could do was to run 'errands' and do some chores, but he did not expect that the Americans would directly push them to the forefront, and enjoy them as if they were enjoying a delicious meal, in the words of the Americans, "necessary victims". Bagaya Road, this is a struggle between the Americans and the Chinese, why should the Japanese be victims?

But Echizen Naoto realized that the Americans were willing to risk direct confrontation with the Chinese to make such a big move, then their plot must be amazing. In the process of 'dealing' with the Americans, the Japanese have long learned to observe and guess, and whatever they want to know from the Americans, they have to dig out for themselves. Although there is a strategic partnership between the United States and Japan, this relationship is more like a handout.

Americans are not friendly, they treat Japanese people like their own dogs, as long as they are not abused, then Americans can be ambitious even if they do their duty, regardless of a dog, although a dog's ambition is ridiculous in the eyes of humans. But a dog is a dog after all, and it needs to have an owner to follow to be valuable, so the Japanese don't really have many choices. Since it doesn't like to choose an Asian master who is willing to treat it with courtesy, it's perfectly understandable to throw himself into an American master who is more strict with him, and the dog also has a fragile and unreasonable self-esteem.

As one of the world's strongest economic entities, the sovereign country actually has other *** teams stationed in its own country, which in itself shows that Japan actually does not have the dignity of a great power, only the Japanese themselves feel good, and their faces are nothing more than "The people who bully me are stronger and more ruthless than the people who bully you, so I am also stronger and more ruthless than you."

Well, Naoto Echizen has nothing to complain about. Isn't it true that all emperors can bow to the Americans?

Echizen Naoto collected some CIA documents through internal investigations in Washington, especially documents about the ministry 'door' to which Kurt's SOG belonged, and the office of Deputy Director Robert James, these are ordinary administrative records and some memoranda of normal work, these documents reveal some of the CIA's plans to be carried out and are underway, and if you analyze them carefully, you can find the operation code, date and other related content from them, which may be very valuable to the press, But it is of little use to the spies, because the plans appear on paper to indicate that they have been overseen by the president, Congress, and judges, and that they are part of the normal work schedule, and that "normal work" is as tiresome to spies as a cold virus.

The Japanese have been trying to infiltrate the CIA's core management for half a century, and their efforts are no less than that of the Russians, and although the Japanese have more facilities than the Russians, they have achieved no more than the Russians. This is actually a shame for the Japanese. It is a well-known fact that Americans do not like Russians, but they at least respect the Russians, but the Americans are not willing to give even a minimum of respect to the Japanese. This hurt the Japanese who were bent on following the American consortium government, but they were both painful and happy, and the protection of the Americans allowed Japan to temporarily be in a corner of peace.

The Japanese may not be geniuses, though, but they are absolutely industrious, so the effort of these hours has given the Japanese a clear idea of the CIA's internal structure and workflow. They can't eavesdrop on Langley's headquarters, they can't participate in all kinds of espionage activities, they have to open another channel in the field they know, which is why there are so many intelligence gathering and analysis organizations in Japan, and whoever Michael Hayden has a cup of coffee with at noon today will trigger a lot of discussion in these organizations, although it is likely that the director of the CIA is just saying hello to someone with coffee.

However, Naoto Echizen is not at all interested in Michael Hayden's whereabouts. Michael Hayden's enthusiasm is mainly devoted to the war on terror, and the traditional intelligence work is handled by the deputy director's office, unless these tasks involve the base or the Taliban, Echizen Naoto's work focuses on China and ***, this job cannot be regarded as a cold 'door', but it does have its own characteristics, so only specific people can understand the trick of this job.

Naoto Echizen retrieved all the documents from the last few years in the secret archives to study the CIA's secrets, including the financial reports of Robert James's office, for which he organized a number of accountants to account for the expenses of the RJ's office. In the end, he found that RJ's office had an unusual injection of money, just like the presidential campaign funds, each of which was small in amounts, but had many sources that could not be traced, so at least $20 million in cash was missing. This finding is close to Echizen's intuition: Americans have a big plan in China, and the size of the plan is usually proportional to the amount of money they mobilize.

This plan even made the Americans desperate.

Echizen Naoto couldn't travel back and forth between China and Japan frequently, which was tantamount to putting a "I have a problem" label on his head, so he valued the base in Hong Kong. In Chinese mainland, counterintelligence forces are pervasive, so Echizen Naoto never handles any intelligence in Chinese mainland, but conducts this kind of work in Hong Kong. This cautious attitude has kept him from attracting the attention of Chinese. In the eyes of the Chinese around him, he is a low-key entrepreneur who has returned to China, and his business is not very good, but he has a surplus every year, and he can use part of his income for public welfare in a 'precise' proportion. He doesn't attract much attention, but he maintains a certain reputation in the industry, which makes it easier for him to go about his business. That's part of his life in Shanghai, and it's part of his life, because he can't do nothing just to maintain a good image.

In Hong Kong, he reorganized his own information, and then added his own analysis of intelligence and sent it back to Japan, the Echizen Army is quite famous in the Japanese spy circle, in recent years, most of the valuable intelligence from China comes from this spy network, so Echizen Naoto has a high prestige in Japan, when the Americans proposed cooperation, the first person the chief of internal transfer found was Echizen Naoto, not only because he is the only agent in Japan who can handle it at present, At the same time, I hope that Echizen will be able to get more information through cooperation with the Americans.

Idiots like Toyota, Honda, and Suzuki have the value of their lives if they can be exchanged for valuable information. Echizen used the excuse that he needed more information to analyze, so after consulting the office, Kurt transferred all the information that could be "exposed" to Echizen to the computer of Echizen's Hong Kong branch.

The Americans are not that efficient, or they have 'expertly' processed the information so that those who have access to the information cannot deduce other answers from the information they have. However, Echizen believes that everything in this world can find an answer. Former imperial general Yamamoto Fifty-six can use advanced mathematics to do ***, and every bet must win, then he can also analyze what he needs from these documents.

Putting down the phone, he asked his secretary to prepare a plane ticket to Hong Kong for him.

At 100 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, there is a 23-storey Playstar Group Building, which is made of granite and glass curtain walls. If it weren't for the fact that it's taller than the surrounding buildings, people wouldn't pay more attention to it now when visuals are king.

ACE is inspecting the electrical and mechanical installations located at the top of the building in accordance with Wu Xian's request. Prior to this, he had managed to 'blend' into the central equipment control area on the fourth and thirteenth floors, and as a firefighter, he checked the building for a separate power supply that had been specifically requested by a customer. In Hong Kong, people who do business are very 'superstitious', so the two floors "Four" and "Thirteen" are not used for commercial purposes. The results of the investigation were as Wu Xian expected, and for safety reasons, even if there was such a request, the property management would not agree. In order to ensure the truth of the situation, ACE also has to go to the top to verify on the spot.

From here, you can see the beautiful Kowloon 'Flower Garden' and Victoria Bay, maybe you can bring a girl here to see the night view when you're done, Ace thought as he compared the blueprints.

You're dizzy, ACE, no girl wants to watch the night in this hot and noisy machine room. Not to mention the night view, when you think about it like this, a few drops of sweat drip from your forehead onto the blueprint, except for a few partial repairs and replacements, the blueprint is not much different from the field.

"That's good, that means there's nothing special about this office on the twenty-second floor." Wu Xian's voice was still a little 'agitated', and this was the first time he had directly cooperated with a combatant. "Can you take a look outside that office now? That way I can see what precautions they have. ”

"You've made myself nervous because of this 'agitation', old Wu." ACE PULLED OUT HIS DIGITAL CAMERA FROM HIS BACKPACK AND CHECKED ITS WORKING CONDITION. "Know why I don't like rookies? Because they are not only nervous themselves, but also 'make' the people around them nervous. ”

"Lao Tzu is not a rookie, Lao Tzu has been in the army longer than you." Wu Xian sneered on the phone. "I'm here waiting for your reply."

The camera in ACE's hand is a Mark III. model of the Canon Factory's EOS-1Ds series that I bought at the mall below during a reconnaissance in the building, and it can shoot ten images in a row at a speed of three frames per second at high resolution, which is very suitable for the current situation. The usable area of each floor of the building is about 400 square meters, and the target office occupies the entire floor.

The ACE handle naturally hangs down to the 'leg' and keeps pressing the camera's shutter.

Army technicians boasted that they could shoot a thousand shots with batteries they made themselves, and if that wasn't enough for Wu Xian, Lao Tzu would come back and shoot again.

Thinking like this, ACE smiled at the 'girl' at the front desk, completely ignoring the surprised gaze of others.
