Chapter 26: Acquaintances Meet
The Mitsui Iron Works looked no different from any other iron works, empty and desolate as far as the eye could see, with the occasional sparrow flying by, and they were quickly scared away by the roar of machinery coming from the depths of the factory.
In the guardhouse at the door sat an old man in his sixties, short and thin, with a wrinkled face, and a loveless appearance, who casually checked the passes of the two of them, and immediately waved his hand to let them go.
"I'll take you to report first," Yoshida led Geng Chaozhong into a small forest at the door, walked about 200 meters, and suddenly opened up in front of him, a standard football field appeared in front of the two, there were several two-story buildings at the end of the field, Yoshida pointed to a two-story building at the front and said, "This is the office building." ”
"The location is really good, quiet in the middle of noisy, winding paths." Geng Chaozhong looked at the small building under the green cover.
"The iron factory was built five years ago, and it was just built when it encountered an economic crisis, so it could only be temporarily idle, so the police town rented the place, which is actually the staff dormitory building of the iron factory." Yoshida said as he walked, leading Geng Chaozhong into the two-story building, which was also very empty, and occasionally a few people walked by, all of whom looked cold without squinting.
"It's here, go in by yourself!" Yoshida walked to the door of an office on the second floor, and the sound of several people talking could be faintly heard inside.
Geng Chaozhong nodded and knocked on the door, and Yoshida turned to leave.
"Come in." A calm voice came from inside the office.
Pushing the door in, there were two men and one woman sitting in the room, and a middle-aged man sitting behind a large desk was looking at Geng Chaozhong and smiling:
"Date kun, you're finally here."
"I've seen Sato Daisa!" Geng Chaozhong was excited, his feet together, and he saluted the middle-aged man in front of him unfreely.
"Hahaha, Date kun, I'm afraid you didn't expect it, right?"
The person behind the desk is Geng Chaozhong's upline, the former Japanese Kanto Hall Special High School Class, Masao Sato!
And the rest of the men and women, Geng Chaozhong is actually familiar with them!
Kako Kitahara, who has just separated from Izu, and Yun Wei, who is known as Taro Watanabe!
Xiangzi looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile, while Yun Wei was silent, just winked at Geng Chaozhong imperceptibly.
"I really didn't expect it, Sato Daisa, how did you get here?" Geng Chaozhong glanced at Yun Wei and Xiangzi, and walked quickly to Sato.
"It's been a while since I returned to China," Sato stood up, walked up to Geng Chaozhong with his hands behind his back, and looked at Geng Chaozhong, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you haven't changed much." ”
"Sato Daisa has not changed much, and the spirit of Ryoma is the same as before." Geng Chaozhong bowed slightly.
"Let me reintroduce you, this is Captain Taro Watanabe from our special high school former Hokpei Station, and now he has been transferred to work in Tokyo Policetown, as for Kako, I don't need to introduce more, right?" Sato looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile.
"I've seen Date's seniors, and I was offended last time I met, so I ask Date's seniors to forgive me!" Yun Wei bowed deeply to Geng Chaozhong.
"Watanabe-kun, those who don't know are not guilty, fortunately!" Geng Chaozhong also bowed to Yun Wei.
"Okay, you're welcome, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, everyone is an acquaintance, sit down!" Sato pointed to the sofa in front of him, Geng Chaozhong hesitated, and sat down next to Yun Wei.
"I returned to Japan last year, that is, not long after Kako returned to Manchuria from Shanghai," Sato looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile, obviously in a good mood, "Your Majesty has an order to select some capable people from the special high school to be responsible for the intelligence and security work in the important areas of Gyeonggi, and as for the plan to establish a 'spy training center', I also suggested it to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"I see!" Geng Chaozhong suddenly realized.
Watanabe, Kako and herself are all retired or incumbent members of the special high school, and these people have come into contact with this plan, obviously there are people who know the top secrets of the special high school class in charge of this matter, but they never expected that the person in charge turned out to be Sato!
Thinking of this, Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but squint at Xiangzi next to him.
"Kako doesn't know where I'm going, so you don't have to blame her," Sato guessed Geng Chaozhong's intentions, "Actually, it's the first time I've met the three of you, and Kako has just learned about this mission." ”
"Hey, I just arrived in Tokyo yesterday." Kako's crisp voice came.
"Dazuo is really far-sighted." Geng Chaozhong's face was full of admiration.
"Sato-san has already been promoted to the rank of major general last year." Kako added again.
"Congratulations to Sato-san on moving to the throne!" Geng Chaozhong stood up again and saluted.
"Haha, it's all loved by Your Majesty, ashamed and ashamed," Sato said with a slightly humble face: "Okay, now let's get down to business." ”
"Hey!" Geng Chaozhong and the other three agreed in unison.
"The nominal principal of the spy training center is the chief Hashimoto of Inspector Town, but I am in charge of the actual affairs," Sato tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at the three of them with a deep gaze, and pointed out a key to this matter, "And the specific teaching mode is the teaching mode of school affairs and tasks." ”
"Homework plus tasks?" Geng Chaozhong and the three of them glanced at each other.
"Yes," Sato nodded, "The students we selected are from major universities in Tokyo, and their education level is above the junior college level, and it will not be too difficult to master the cultural courses such as pharmacy, makeup, and language required by the secret service, mainly in the practical aspects of reconnaissance and firearms." So, outside of the course, I will assign you some tasks to let the students grow in actual combat, you can understand this, right? ”
"Hey, I understand!" The trio agreed.
In fact, the cultural knowledge required by spies is very limited, mainly some commonly used chemical knowledge and some common knowledge of logic and intelligence.
For example, expression management, action management, and these courses, need to be honed in practice, in addition to a firm will and the psychological quality of not being alarmed, which also needs to be honed in practice, it is useless to talk on paper, what Sato said, is the experience of a veteran spy.
"Well," Sato nodded with satisfaction, "The cultural course is in charge of the professors of the Imperial Army University and the Imperial Non-commissioned Officer School, and what you have to do is to lead the team to complete the mission, hone the will of the cadets, and exercise their actual combat ability." As for the direction of the mission, I think everyone is also aware that the Red elements in Soviet Russia, the Nanjing elements, and some rebels within the empire......."
Sato talked eloquently, Geng Chaozhong and the three of them picked up the notebook that had been prepared on the table and began to record, and the four of them talked for more than two hours before Sato picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, coughed and said:
"Okay, I'll leave it here today, everyone stays here for dinner at noon, Watanabe-kun goes out first, and Kako and Date kun stay."
