Chapter 314 Failure
Regarding the issue of the cargo of raw materials, the Navy stated that it was normal wear and tear, and the Cabinet has also clarified the situation. Apart from the normal wear and tear during the inspection process, the cargo ship has been returned intact.

The navy has returned the cargo ships. According to the cabinet, you're too narrow-minded.

Most importantly, the Sheshan project was merely a constructive idea proposed by the cabinet in order to expedite the opening up of the Central China theater.

The production of poison gas bombs still depends on the Ishii unit.

Therefore, the loss of some raw materials was seen by the cabinet as merely a delay in the production of poison gas bombs at Sheshan, with little impact, and there was no need to continue making a fuss.

Moreover, the Sheshan Research Institute is not even completed yet, so you, Tu Feiyuan, still have time to prepare a new batch of raw materials.

Upon seeing such a reply, Tu Feiyuan was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

So, the navy is the favored son, while the army is the stepmother?
Is there any king law?Are there any laws?
Fortunately, the cabinet stated that it would find a way to make up for the losses suffered by Doihara.

This can be considered as giving him an explanation.

Michiko looked at her teacher with heartache. He used to be a spirited person, but look at him now, how he's been angered by these scoundrels in the Navy!
dong dong!

There was a knock on the door of the reception room. The naval captain looked at the chubby man with a cold smile before turning his head and calling out:

"Enter!"

A lieutenant pushed open the door and jogged in, whispering a few words in the colonel's ear.

The naval captain leaned back tactically, looking with amusement at the chubby man sprawled on the sofa:

"Hey, Mr. Doiyuu, don't say we Navy are unreasonable. There's a guy outside who claims to be from your former agency's communications department, named Ye Sun, looking for you. He looks pretty disheveled and anxious. Mr. Doiyuu, are you going to keep wasting time with me here, or go check if something's happened to your former agency?"

Doi-man was startled and immediately stood up. He glared at the naval captain before leaving with Michiko and Yamashita.

The original organization still has two powerful figures and an unstable bomb. The fact that Ye Sun is here means that something really bad has happened at home!
Thinking of this, Tu Feiyuan quickened his pace even more.

At the main gate of the Marine Corps headquarters, Tu Feiyuan immediately saw Ye Sun pacing back and forth, looking extremely anxious.

"Ye Sunjun, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing Tu Feiyuan's voice, Ye Sun hurriedly turned around and then quickly ran forward:

"Chief, something terrible has happened! The Military Intelligence Bureau attacked our headquarters, and we can't get in touch with you. I only found out you were here by contacting Ah Nu, who was delivering goods to Sheshan."

The fat, round guy's head was buzzing. Were those guys from the Military Intelligence Bureau courting death?

The events of yesterday were not covered up by Tufeiyuan.

Logically speaking, the Kuomintang's Shanghai station should have known that the original agency was currently storing a very dangerous virus.

Therefore, it was something that Toyoda could not understand and had never expected that the Military Intelligence Bureau would dare to take action against the original organization at this time.

Aren't they afraid that the virus might leak during this process, and everyone would be doomed?

"Ye Sun, are you sure you're from the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Ye Sun nodded:

"At least their weapons are standard equipment used by Kuomintang agents, there is absolutely no mistake about that."

"Quick, go back!!"

Shanghai, Nanjing Road, the former government office.

When Doi-Yuan and the others returned, the original organization was in complete chaos, with doctors and nurses from the Military Police Hospital and Renji Hospital running around in the middle of it.

Nan Ting was also shot through the arm. After the nurse bandaged her up, Nan Ting sat on the stone steps in the front yard of the former government office, coldly watching people come and go.

Seeing that Tu Feiyuan had brought people back, Nan Ting leisurely got up, and Ito Heiji quickly stepped forward:

"Chief!"

Doi-man stared wide-eyed at his former organization, watching as several of his subordinates were covered in white sheets and carried away by hospital staff.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Because he needed to transport raw materials, Tu Feiyuan took a large number of skilled personnel from the original organization with him when he went to the Shiliupu Wharf, including Anu from the Action Section.

With most of the personnel from the Action Section gone, the original organization was essentially empty inside.

With Ito Heiji's explanation and Nan Ting's nod, Tu Feiyuan also learned the whole story.

Fortunately, Nan Ting led the Reform Society members step by step, and even when facing a heavily armed enemy, they held out until the military police came to their aid, and the two experts were not taken away.

What really gave Tu Feiyuan a chill was that, although the experts were fine, the virus had been stolen.

Taking advantage of a lull in their fight with the Kuomintang secret police, a group of people sneaked around to the rear and took the virus.

"Chief, I have collected all the enemy corpses."

Upon hearing Nan Ting's words, Tu Feiyuan angrily led his men into the house to examine the so-called Kuomintang corpse.

Upon seeing this, Tu Feiyuan was so angry he was practically fuming.

You're saying these aren't Kuomintang agents? They're all wearing Kuomintang equipment.

But Tu Feiyuan was certain that these guys were not agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau at all.

But since the other side has made these preparations, even if Doiyuu is certain that those who died were not members of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he still has no way of proving whose people they were.

Doi-man naturally had his own guesses. His first suspicion was that the Special Higher Police were up to something, and then he thought of Suzuki Haruko.

After recounting the entire incident, Tu Feiyuan squinted, thinking that it must have been the work of two different groups.

If it were just Suzuki Haruko's people, it's impossible that they would only take the virus. Besides, Suzuki Haruko had no reason to take the virus; she was afraid of it, and Suzuki Haruko was afraid of it too.

The police station doesn't have a technical section, so if we're talking about who's most likely to have taken the virus, Doiyuu leans towards the Special Higher Police.

As for the Military Intelligence Bureau and the underground Communist Party, it's not that Tu Feiyuan looks down on them, but rather that they simply lack the technology to properly store those two vials of virus.

In Shanghai today, if you were to ask who least wants the original organization to be destroyed, the top choice wouldn't be the intelligence forces on the Empire's side, but rather the Military Intelligence Bureau and the underground Communist Party.

Having considered this, Doiyuu could be completely certain that the virus was taken by the Special Higher Police, and that the group of so-called Military Intelligence Bureau agents who attacked the original agency were very likely from Suzuki Haruko's side.

Even with such speculation, Doiyuu had no way to prove it, truly a case of swallowing a bitter pill in silence.

Fortunately, the two experts were not kidnapped; otherwise, Doi-man might have disregarded everything and led his men to cause trouble for Suzuki Haruko.

Without that virus, those two experts could still use their influence to force them to help produce poison gas bombs at the Sheshan Research Institute, even if it was a previous version of the poison gas bomb.

The virus was indeed a big problem. They were unwilling to give it away, but if they didn't, they were afraid it would leak in their territory.

Now that it has been taken by the Special Higher Police, Doihara has nothing to say. Even if he is certain, he can't possibly ask for it back.

However, the fact that the Special Higher Police were able to retrieve the virus indicates that the original organization was not entirely clean.

Having long suspected Ito Heiji's chubby and ugly appearance, a subtle ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ito Heiji.

Of course, the Special Higher Police were able to successfully remove the virus not only because Heiji Ito provided the location where the virus was stored, but also because Nan Ting corroborated what Heiji Ito said.

Then, when Suzuki Haruko sent people to attack and kidnap, Nan Ting transferred all her personnel to deal with Suzuki Haruko's people; otherwise, the Special Higher Police would not have been able to take the virus.

After all, if they were to clash during the virus extraction process, even the slightest mishap could lead to the worst possible outcome.

"Ito-kun, let's deal with these people too. There's no point in keeping them here."

"Nan Ting, Michiko, come with me."

Suppressing his anger, Tu Feiyuan led the two to the attic.

In the attic study, Tu Feiyuan looked at the injured Nan Ting and said with admiration:

"Nan Ting, you did a great job this time. Protecting those two experts is the most important thing. As for the theft, you don't need to blame yourself."

"For those who lost their lives in this Reform Movement, you submit a report, I approve the note, and I will make up for all the losses."

"Alright, go down and recover from your injuries!"

Nan Ting nodded calmly, then turned and left the study.

After Michiko closed the door, she glared at Doiyuu with rising anger in her eyes:
"Teacher, are we just going to call it a day?"

Upon entering the attic, Michiko noticed that the most intense fighting took place inside, indicating that the enemy was after the two experts.

Fortunately, Nan Ting and her team managed to stop them; otherwise, the experts would have been abducted, and all the previous efforts of the original organization would have been lost.

"At today's meeting, I suspect that Aizawa Keiko deliberately lured us there to make it easier for them to carry out their plans!"

Tu Feiyuan shook his head:
"Michiko, some things cannot be judged by appearances alone. The attack on us was not carried out by the Special Higher Police, or rather, it was not mainly carried out by the Special Higher Police."

Michiko Sakai glared angrily at Doi-Omi.
"But teacher, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Actually, Tu Feiyuan's feelings are very complicated right now.

So many people died in the original organization, but they were mainly from the Reform Society, so it didn't damage the foundation. Anyway, as long as the money is right, Nan Ting can quickly raise another batch of people from the Reform Society.

Of course, this is also why Doiyuu is angry, after all, it is a loss for the original organization.

But Tu Feiyuan also felt a sense of relief. Previously, the virus had been lingering in the original organization, and Tu Feiyuan had been unable to sleep at night.

Now it's been taken by the Special Higher Police (THP), well, it's highly likely that it's been taken by the THP. In fact, Doihara had considered cooperating with the THP after the meeting.

After all, among all the intelligence agencies in Shanghai, only the Special Higher Police has a special technical section.

The existence of the technical department can completely ensure that the risk of virus leakage is minimized.

This is something that neither the Military Intelligence Bureau nor the underground Communist Party could do.

After the Sheshan Research Institute is completed, if the virus is still in the original facility, Doiyuu will cooperate with the Special Higher Police to ensure the virus's safety during its transport to Sheshan, even if it's a low-probability event.

Now that the virus has been taken directly by the Special Higher Police, Doiyu no longer has any worries about it.

Of course, since we're cooperating with the Special Higher Police, the Special Higher Police will definitely get some credit for the final results.

It's just a matter of who controls the virus and how much they get. So, Tu Feiyuan felt both unhappy and relieved, as if the credit was something he was entitled to, but Tu Feiyuan took it himself, which was quite a slap in the face.

Meanwhile, Doiyuu was somewhat pleased, because he was now certain of who the mole that Aizawa Keiko had planted next to him was.

Once the identity of the undercover agent is known, Tu Feiyuan will have many opportunities to avenge this loss.

Having considered this, Doi-man didn't know what expression to use when facing Michiko, so he simply said calmly:

"Of course we won't let it go like that, but right now, the Sheshan project is the most important thing. Plus, those naval bastards withheld a batch of our raw materials. Before the Sheshan project is completed, we need to get the supplies back. Michiko, you need to keep a close eye on this."

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Michiko Sakai roughly understood what her teacher was thinking.

"Teacher, don't worry. Since the navy is obstructing the sea transport, I want to think of a way from the north to transport by rail directly."

"Of course, we can't give up on shipping either, since it's the fastest option. However, this would require us to spend a lot of money."

Tu Feiyuan waved his hand:
"Don't worry about the money. I'll apply for funding as soon as possible. As for Suzuki Haruko, I'll settle the score with her properly after the Sheshan project is over."

Shanghai, Wusong Road Special Higher Police Section.

Aizawa Keiko waited outside the technical department for about half an hour before Murakami Yua finally took off her protective suit and came out.

"Section Chief, after observation, just as Zhao Sang predicted, the virus's protective mechanism is very tight, and the risk of leakage is negligible."

"However, just to be on the safe side, we still tested the protective devices."

At this point, Murakami Yua's expression turned serious, and Aizawa Keiko's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Murakami Yua with some fear:

"Yua, don't scare me!"

Yua Murakami gave a wry smile:
"Section Chief, for the time being, the possibility of a virus leak is very small. However, during the testing process, I found unstable fluctuations at the connector of the protective device, which is a factor I have never seen before in the image."

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko asked with some surprise:

"So that was the alarm that just went off inside?"

"That's right, it was emitted by the machine during the test, which startled me."

Aizawa Keiko's lips twitched slightly. Could this be a huge problem she'd brought back?
"Yua, do you have a solution?"

Seeing Yua Murakami shake her head, Keiko Aizawa was at her wit's end.

"However, Section Chief, I would like to ask Zhao Sang for help. With Zhao Sang's knowledge, he should be able to solve this problem."

Yua Murakami recalled her previous collaboration with Zhao Xuan in creating the legal tender template. She had to admit that Zhao Xuan possessed astonishing talent and knowledge in mechanical physics.

Of course, if even Zhao Xuan couldn't solve it, Murakami Yua could only suggest that Aizawa Keiko find a way to get rid of the things as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the fluctuations get out of control and cause a virus leak, we'll all be doomed.

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko hesitated. Did Murakami Yua not know that Ah Xuan was still recovering at the military police hospital?

Moreover, to be honest, Lan Zehuizi didn't want Zhao Xuan to get involved in something so dangerous.

Seeing through Aizawa Keiko's thoughts, Murakami Yua said with a wry smile:

"Section Chief, we just asked Zhao Sang to help with the testing and see if he can come up with a solution. Our technical department will handle the actual physical work."

Aizawa Keiko then smiled:

"Okay, I'll talk to Ah Xuan tomorrow and ask the doctor if Ah Xuan can be discharged early."

As for moving the virus and equipment to the hospital for Zhao Xuan to test, Lan Zehuizi isn't crazy yet.

Meanwhile, in the special care ward of the military police hospital, Zhao Xuan, whose back scars were slowly falling off, lay on his side on the hospital bed, a smile of complete control on his face.

The technical department's inspection found no problems whatsoever, and the protective device was also fine.

The problem is that Zhao Xuan manipulated the nano-flying insects to decompose, leaving nanoparticles at the device interface.

With nanoparticles flying around, the instruments naturally kept beeping, detecting unstable reactions.

This is also what Zhao Xuan needs; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to directly access those two tubes of virus.

Things are developing exactly as Zhao Xuan predicted, which makes things much easier.

On the other side, in the backyard of the Baoshan Street Police Station, Suzuki Haruko looked at Miao Xue, Yi Xincheng, and Sasaki, who were participating in tonight's operation, and her face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"So this is your explanation, given how well you've prepared?"

Yi Xincheng kept his head down, not daring to look at Suzuki Haruko, while Miao Xue leaned back in her chair indifferently.

Tonight's operation was mostly carried out by people sent by Haruko Suzuki, with a small number being new recruits that Yi Xincheng had just recruited. They were reliable and trustworthy.

Miao Xue suffered virtually no losses.

Sasaki sighed and looked at Suzuki Haruko, saying:

"Section Chief, that Nan Ting from the original unit is really too difficult to deal with. Her men are all fearless, and with the terrain advantage, we have been unable to break through the temporary defenses that Nan Ting has built in several consecutive attacks."

"Most importantly, we were hastily equipped with weapons from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and we were completely unfamiliar with them."

Haruko Suzuki glared at Sasaki:

"Alright, now is not the time to make excuses."

"Tonight was such a good opportunity, but almost none of the original action team members were there, and our operation still failed."

At this point, Haruko Suzuki let out a long sigh:

"call--"

"Section Chief Miao, your performance tonight wasn't very good!"

Haruko Suzuki was truly exasperated tonight. Sasaki's team simply couldn't break through Nan Ting's defenses, so Haruko Suzuki sent Miao Xue instead.

Of course, Miao Xue also went, but in the end, Miao Xue told her that another force had appeared near the original mechanism, which led Suzuki Haruko to send some people to investigate.

Because of the delay, the military police arrived, and Suzuki Haruko had no choice but to order a retreat.

"Section Chief Suzuki, this matter has been investigated thoroughly. When we were confronting the original organization head-on, some people did indeed flank us, but we don't know what they did. Most importantly, they didn't lay a hand on anyone from the original organization, yet they were able to enter the organization's premises unharmed."

"Section Chief Suzuki, tonight's operation has been 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'."

What angered Suzuki Haruko the most was that they had risked their lives to hold off the original staff left behind, allowing a bunch of unidentified guys to take advantage of the situation.

Although we don't know what they took from the original organization, they certainly didn't leave empty-handed.

Compared to their own side, where so many people died but they gained nothing, how could Suzuki Haruko not be angry?

So, Miao Xue meant that someone had leaked their plans for tonight.

Haruko Suzuki squinted and stared at Miao Xue for a long while.

The only one who had a chance to leak the secret was Miao Xue.

Moreover, given the relationship between Miao Xue and Zhao Xuan, it's hard for Suzuki Haruko not to suspect that the person playing the role of the stalker is the Special Higher Police!

Seeing Suzuki Haruko's expression, Miao Xue's face darkened, and she said in an icy voice:

"Does Section Chief Suzuki suspect that I leaked information?"

Yi Xincheng and Sasaki also looked at Miao Xue at this moment. To be honest, even if no one leaked the secret tonight, they would not be able to break into the original agency's attic.

But someone has to take the blame for this.

Seeing that Suzuki Haruko remained silent, Miao Xue continued with a cold smile:

"Section Chief Suzuki, didn't you ever consider that everything we prepared tonight had flaws?"

Haruko Suzuki's pupils contracted slightly, and her temples throbbed as she stared at Miao Xue:

"Baka! Section Chief Miao, since you figured it out, why didn't you remind me during the discussion?"

Haruko Suzuki also realized where the supposed loopholes in tonight's operation were.

That was through Dao Ya's connections, they purchased a batch of equipment for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

There was a batch of Kuomintang (KMT) equipment in the warehouse of the old factory area. Suzuki Haruko later learned about this matter. It was spoils of war seized by the Special Higher Police (THD) when they destroyed KMT strongholds and captured KMT agents.

Aizawa Keiko handed it all over to Toa and Sato Ai, asking them to help her convert it into cash.

Therefore, buying those items from Daoya was a clear indication to the Special Higher Police that a major operation was about to unfold.

With a little investigation from the Special Higher Police, and considering the previous collaboration between Suzuki Haruko and Aizawa Keiko, it wouldn't be difficult to find out that Suzuki Haruko was planning to take action against the former organization tonight.

Would the Special Higher Police (SPC) that uncovered the problem then communicate with the original authorities?

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't happen, but if the Special Higher Police wanted to take something from the original agency during this opportunity, the possibility would be extremely high.

No wonder Nan Ting organized and built the defense line so quickly tonight!
Miao Xue failed to point out such a huge loophole during the discussion, which made Suzuki Haruko even angrier.

Therefore, there was no leak; rather, their plan was flawed, leading to the failure of the operation.

"Section Chief Suzuki, you're in too much of a hurry. You only arranged to meet us today, and you're already taking action tonight. It's too hasty to do something so important. It would be a miracle if it didn't fail."

Listening to Miao Xue's words, Suzuki Haruko felt that this girl was mocking her.

Of course, Suzuki Haruko only received the information that the original organization was empty today; otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take action.

"Section Chief Miao, you're very good!"

"That's enough for today. Disperse and get out!"

Originally, Suzuki Haruko thought that Miao Xue was a person like herself, but what happened tonight made Suzuki Haruko very disappointed in Miao Xue.

I treated you like one of my own, but you treated me like a Japanese soldier, didn't you? (Miao Xue: You were one all along!)
