Spy game? Stop guessing, I really am an undercover agent!

Chapter 156 Finally, he took over.

"Secretary Li is truly knowledgeable. This is the first time I've ever heard of God's blessing being like this," Chen Yang said dismissively, casually placing his briefcase aside before taking off his coat.

Li Ningyu deftly took the coat and hung it on the hanger next to her.

"Knock, knock, knock," a series of crisp knocks sounded at the office door.

"Section Chief Chen," Chen Yang had just been about to sit down when he heard the voice of Kobayashi Shuzo, the head of the General Affairs Section, coming from the doorway.

"Section Chief Kobayashi, what a rare guest! What brings you here? Please, have a seat." Chen Yang stood up and invited Kobayashi Shuzo to sit down.

“No need to sit,” Kobayashi Shuzo said gently. “I just came from the minister’s office. Minister Oshima wants you to come upstairs. He has a task for you.”

"Um," Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Section Chief Lin. I'll go right away."

Inside the Ministry of Transport building, the corridor lights flickered dimly, and the sound of leather shoes on the wooden floor was dull and hurried.

Chen Yang arrived at the minister's office on the third floor and knocked three times.

"Come in." A deep voice responded from inside...

Inside the office, Kenjiro Oshima stood with his back to the door in front of a huge military map, his red pencil marking a sharp "X" on the location of "Seiryu Gorge".

"Section Chief Chen, the military train escorted by Section Chief Matsushima was ambushed by guerrillas yesterday near Qinglong Gorge on the Huzhou section of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway." Oshima's voice was hoarse and suppressed, as if a piece of red-hot coal was stuck in his throat.

Chen Yang did not respond immediately. His gaze swept over the telegrams and documents scattered on his desk. The top one was stained with red ink, and the words "106th Division" and "All ammunition destroyed" were vaguely visible.

Oshima slowly turned around, his eyes sinister, and his lips tightened into a line.

"Two thousand rounds of ammunition, one hundred and twenty barrels of gasoline, all destroyed, all destroyed... Damn it..." He suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it against the wall. Porcelain shards flew everywhere, and tea flowed down the wall like a hideous wound.

Chen Yang's gaze lingered on the broken porcelain shards for a moment before he calmly asked, "So, the Special Higher Police intervened in the investigation first thing this morning?"

"I heard that Section Chief Matsushima has been taken away for investigation."

Oshima sneered, "He only has himself to blame. I warned him long ago to be careful."

"In less than a month, the first lesson he was in charge of experienced multiple incidents, including delays and the destruction of supplies."

"From any perspective, his first lesson was highly problematic. I'm not surprised at all that such an intelligence leak happened in the first lesson."

"On the contrary, the Third Division, which is in charge of Section Chief Chen, far surpasses the First Division in both confidentiality and transportation efficiency."

Chen Yang bowed slightly and said, "I am very grateful to Minister Oshima for recognizing the achievements of the Third Section's transportation. Such performance is the result of the concerted efforts of all colleagues in the Third Section."

"Most importantly, you made proper arrangements and were willing to give us the opportunity to perform, which enabled us to arrange the transportation reasonably. All the credit should go to Minister Oshima."

Kenjiro Oshima was very satisfied with Chen Yang's performance. He nodded slightly, opened a drawer, pulled out a document, and threw it on the table.

"From now on, all transport lines previously handled by the First Division will be taken over by the Third Division."

His finger pressed heavily on a line in the document: “Including the special supplies to Jiujiang that will be shipped the day after tomorrow.”

Chen Yang stepped forward, looked down at the document, and quickly scanned the densely packed tables.

“The Jiujiang route passes through areas frequently used by guerrillas.” He frowned slightly. “For safety reasons, should we change the route?”

“Proceed as planned,” Oshima pondered for a moment, then grabbed a pen and scribbled furiously on the document, “but change to phased transport. The first batch will depart at four o’clock tomorrow morning, carrying only the three types of supplies marked with red stars.”

Chen Yang's gaze fell on the small pencil writing next to the "red star": "Quinine - Sulfonamide Drug"

“If we follow the original route, I suggest we send in more armored vehicles for escort,” he said calmly. Oshima remained silent for a long time, then opened a drawer, took out a bronze pass with a chrysanthemum pattern engraved on its top, and pushed it in front of him.

"The Expeditionary Force Command has dispatched the 6th Armored Platoon to participate in the escort mission."

"The Sixth Armored Squad has a total of four new armored vehicles and three transport vehicles, and is equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower. Theoretically, it can confront an entire regiment of the Blue Army head-on."

"So you don't need to worry about safety."

"However, you should not be complacent. This batch of medicines is directly related to the survival of the frontline medical station on the southern slope of Mount Lu."

“If the mission fails, Mr. Chen, I’m afraid both you and I will be held accountable by the Ministry of Supervision.”

Chen Yang took the pass with both hands, his fingertips touching the cold metallic texture.

"Do we need to hand over the documents to the First Division?"

Oshima waved his hand and said, "No need, everyone in Matsushima is under investigation."

He paused, then suddenly coughed twice, his voice even more hoarse, "Go directly to the head of the general affairs section, Kobayashi, to get the new dispatch sheet."

"Hai," Chen Yang nodded, then turned to leave.

Just as his hand touched the doorknob, Oshima's voice rang out again: "I want to personally inspect the train two hours before departure."

Chen Yang paused slightly, "If the bus departs at four o'clock..."

"You came to the warehouse at two in the morning?"

Oshima lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. "Yes!"

Chen Yang did not answer, but simply closed the office door gently.

Back in the office of the head of the third section, Chen Yang had just entered when Li Ningyu followed him in.

"Sir, is there good news?"

Chen Yang placed a bronze plaque engraved with chrysanthemum patterns on the table, saying, "All personnel of the First Lesson must be questioned by the Special Higher Police."

"They suspect that someone within the First Division leaked intelligence, causing frequent errors in the First Division's transport missions."

"Our tasks ahead will be very demanding, and I hope Secretary Li is mentally prepared."

Li Ningyu, holding the documents, bowed slightly and said, "Please give your orders, sir."

Chen Yang nodded slightly: "Go to Kobayashi-kun and get the dispatch sheet for the first lesson. Then, go to the first lesson's affairs office and get their recent transportation data."

"I need to redesign the transportation mission."

"By the way, before that, make me a cup of coffee. I think we might be working very late today, and I need a little, um, motivation."

Li Ningyu closed the notebook she had written in, tucked the pen into her chest pocket, and bowed slightly, saying, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ningyu gently closed the office door. Chen Yang looked at the bronze iron plaque in front of him, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

After putting in so much effort, I've finally received the reward I deserve.

I'm in charge of the transportation to the front lines in Wuhan...
