Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 87 It Really Comes True

At least that's good news.

This group of ronin were sent by the shipyard's president, Hiramatsu Kojiro, to Shanghai to "work." As for what kind of work it was, it was difficult to inquire further, but what was certain was that their captain, Togo Naotada, went out to take on a mission yesterday and has not returned since!

In the next few days, Chen Jiehua searched the city in an orderly manner for a suitable store to open, while also familiarizing himself with the roads of Shanghai.

On the evening of November 18, 11, which was the agreed routine accounting day, when Chen Jiehua arrived at the store, the store was closed. Zhao Shiyu pulled the owner Qing Muqiao into the secret room with a complicated expression!

"Old Chen, blame me for not listening to you that day. I thought you were making a big deal out of nothing. I didn't pass on your reminder to my comrades!"

Chen Jiehua's heart skipped a beat. "Old Zhao, don't tell me something really happened?! I'm not a jinx!"

Zhao Shiyu closed his eyes in annoyance, pain and self-blame, and nodded.

Damn, it came true? "What's going on?"

"Yesterday, the JS Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League held an enlarged meeting. The meeting was held in Jingyeli, Huade Road, in the British Concession. It's not clear how the meeting location was exposed. The other comrades received the signal in advance and evacuated in time."

"But there was an important leader who lived far away and arrived late. By the time he arrived, the police were already lying in ambush inside. He should have been questioned, but the female comrade stationed inside was with a three-year-old child..."

"What else can I say?"

"After all, the child is an orphan of a martyr."

"What do you need me to do?" "Save them as soon as possible!"

"I'm good at killing people and exterminating traitors, but I'm not familiar with Shanghai and the British Concession! Besides, the British and the Japanese don't get along. Even if I find a reason, going there as a Japanese colonel might only make things worse!"

“I can provide financial support!”

"It's okay even if you have money!"

"I'll go back later and have Mio take me to the designated location."

"Old Zhao, has anyone with a Western appearance come to see you recently? Look for me."

"No, definitely not."

Did Comrade Johnson run away with the money? It's not like he couldn't find the house after all these days, right? Chen Jiehua thought of Sorge. Perhaps this guy could help.

"Okay, if any Westerners come looking, please notify me immediately. His name is Alexander Johnson, and he might be able to help save people."

After communicating with Lao Zhao, Chen Jiehua quietly went out and went home to arrange for Fujiwara Mio to deliver funds to the organization.

It was late at night, and Chen Jiehua thought that it was not safe for Mio to run around outside with a suitcase by herself. He might as well drive her to the intersection and let her go in by herself.

At the intersection, Mio got out of the car. After Chen Jiehua helped her take the suitcase out of the trunk, he closed the trunk and turned around. Hey, what he thought came true.

In the distance, on the roadside in the opposite direction, under the street light, a figure was looking at himself quietly.

After confirming that it was safe, Chen Jiehua entered the house rented by Sorge.

"Dear Comrade Alexander Sorge, your efficiency is a bit low!" Chen Jiehua couldn't help but quarrel with this guy whenever he saw him.

"Please address me correctly as Mr. Alexander Johnson."

"I just don't believe that the house you rent is at risk of being eavesdropped on."

"It's never too late to be cautious. That's my motto."

"That's right. Right now, a comrade has been accidentally arrested by the British Concession Police Station. Do you have any connections?"

Sorge paused while pouring water.

"I understand."

"If I need to find you urgently next time, where can I go?" "Diagonally across the street, the fourth tree from the intersection. The bark is loose. Grab a leaf and go up there."

"Do you have a telegraph frequency band? Please use my frequency band and code. The code book is Pingjiang Bushoushen's "Legends of Jianghu Heroes"."

"Your style doesn't seem like that of a secret agent, but your methods are even more secretive than a secret agent's. Sigh."

Chen Jiehua couldn't stay here for long, so he left him two bundles of US dollars before leaving.

When Chen Jiehua returned to the car, Mio also returned, which means that the intersection is about the same distance from both sides.

Combined with the fact that Sorge's hand paused while pouring water when he mentioned saving people just now, Chen Jiehua basically understood that the Special Operations Group had dealings with him, and someone had already found him before him.

In this way, you basically don't have to worry about the processes and interpersonal matters, and you can withdraw once you have enough funds.

Sorge chose this location with great care, and he must have put a lot of thought into it. It is also relatively close to his own store.

After returning home, Mio washed up and prepared to go to bed. Chen Jiehua stood at the window looking at the moon outside. There was really a moon today, although it was not round.

Being in Shanghai at this time was incredibly sensitive and fraught. I hadn't really thought about what my role was.

From the beginning when he recognized Zhao Shiyu, to that ship of medicines, to the rash rush to the small building, to the last anti-traitor campaign, and to this rescue of his comrades, he was involved in everything.

But he did not confirm his identity.

The organization has no specific tasks for itself.

Mio is a member of the Red Team. Although she has withdrawn now, she has joined the Special Operations Group and will be a member of the Special Operations Group for life!
What is your own position? As Sorge just said, your work style does not seem like that of an agent, but your methods are more spy-like.

The reason for the current situation is that I have not found the right position. I am doing things haphazardly, just going my own way. If it doesn't work, I will make corrections and make up for it.

Fujiwara Mio finished taking a shower and came from behind. Seeing Chen Jiehua's posture, I immediately thought of the last moon quiz. I first looked at the moon outside. This time there was a moon, haha!

"Aoki, what are you looking at this time?"

"moon."

"The moon is not round."

"The moon is not round! If the moon is not round, I will be responsible for making it round!"

"Yes, my role is to fill in the gaps! I don't have to worry about status, identity, or missions at all! I just need to do business well and manage my connections well. If the organization is short of funds, I will provide the funds myself. If the organization is short of channels, I will provide the channels myself. If the organization is short of assassins, I will be the assassin myself!"

"Once the pharmacy and the Paodekuai network are rolled out, I won't need the organization to assign me tasks or ask for help! My network will know everything!"

"So what if Shanghai is complicated? The Concession Police Station, the Municipal Council, just bribe them with money! If money doesn't work, use guns!"

"So what about the Green Gang? With money and force, we can still defeat you!"

Fujiwara Mio's words immediately opened Chen Jiehua's mind! The future is bright! Just go for it!

"Mio, go to sleep first. I'm going to take a shower. I'll go back to Japan tomorrow and bring the people here! You continue looking for a store here and work out the rules with Lao Zhao!"

"Have you thought it through? No worries anymore?"

"Yes, I figured it out! Let's move forward! If there's no road, we'll make our own! The road I'm taking is one I didn't have any reference to!"

　Senju-in plays an important role in the history of Japanese swords, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Long History: The Senjuin school is located in the Senju Valley near the foot of Mount Wakakusa. The founder of the Senjuin school, Gyōshin, was active in the middle and late Heian period (1132-1135) and is one of the earliest Japanese swordsmiths to have his name confirmed.

2. School Influence: The Senjuin school is one of the five schools of Yamato and one of the earliest schools in the Yamato tradition. Its swordsmithing techniques hold a significant place in Japanese swordmaking, particularly during the Muromachi period, when the Senjuin school migrated to the Mino region, establishing the Mino Senjuin school and further advancing swordmaking techniques.

3. Knife craftsmanship: The Senjuin school of knife craftsmanship is famous for its unique forging techniques and blade style.

"Senjuin Inarikichi" is a national treasure-level sword in Japan. It is very suitable for samurai who practice "Shigen-ryu". The samurai of Satsuma Domain all like "Senjuin" swords. This heavy sword is also suitable for "Yin-ryu" kendo, so let's borrow the ronin's hand to give it to the protagonist to play with.
