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

Chapter 167 I did this twice
"Kumano-kun, does your expression tell me you're scared?" Yoko Minamida's voice rang out slowly.

Ryohei Kumano stammered and dared not respond.

Assassinating a head of state—not only is the chance of success extremely low, but even if they succeed, it would be very difficult for them to leave the mountain city.

It's fair to say that once this plan was launched, they were doomed.

Moreover, this is in a mountain city, home to the Nationalist government's most elite intelligence organizations, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Besides these two, there's Kang Ze's Three People's Principles Corps, Song's Tax Police Corps... those elite forces, not to mention the Security Corps and the City Defense Army.

It can be said that this is the most heavily guarded place in all of China.

To attempt to assassinate the principal here would be suicidal.

Yoko Minami said casually, "I know what Kumano-kun is worried about. To be honest, this isn't the first time I've tried to assassinate the principal."

Ryohei Kumano was taken aback, and the way he looked at Yoko Minamida unconsciously changed.

This isn't just Nantian Yangzi bragging; in fact, when she was undercover at the Tangshan Hot Spring Guesthouse, she did indeed plan two assassination attempts against the principal.

However, they went bankrupt both times.

The first time was when the president of the Examination Yuan, Dai, had a private meeting with the principal. Nantian Yangzi originally planned to assassinate him at close range, but at that time, the military sent an urgent report. The two were talking for half a day when the principal hurriedly left on the pretext of official business, which caused the assassination plan to fail.

The second time was even more dangerous. Yoko Nanta learned of the principal's itinerary from his secretary, Huang Jun, and deliberately set a trap along the way. In addition, she arranged for Major Nakamura, the military attaché of the Nanjing Embassy, ​​to assassinate him halfway.

This time, however, the assassination plan failed to be carried out because the young marshal's visit caused the principal to change his itinerary at the last minute.

Although both missions ended in failure, her abilities were recognized by headquarters.

In Japan, a country with a strong preference for sons, almost no woman can become a high-ranking officer with real power.

Yoko Minamida is the only one.

If someone says, "No, there's also Yoshiko Kawashima!"

Those two are worlds apart.

Yoshiko Kawashima was the daughter of Prince Su and had a Manchu royal family background. Moreover, as a special agent, she did not hold any official position; her only position was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Anguo Army.

Yoko Minamida is different; she is a genuine honorary major specially appointed by the local government.

Ryohei Kumano lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before slowly raising his head and saying, "Major Minamida, I want to know what makes you so confident in doing this?"

"You need to understand that once this plan begins, no one will be able to leave the mountain city alive."

"I don't want to gamble everyone's lives on a plan with absolutely no chance of success."

Oh, this guy has learned to respect people now. He no longer calls her "Miss Yoko" all the time, but instead addresses her as "Major Minamida".

Yoko Nanada smiled slightly, dipped her finger lightly in the tea, and quickly began to draw on the table.

Before long, a map came into view of Kumano Ryohei.

"What kind of map is this? It looks like the mountain town?" Kumano Ryohei recognized the scene depicted on the map at a glance.

“You guessed right,” Yoko Nanta chuckled. “What do you think I’ve been trying to achieve by getting close to Chiang Chih-cheng these past few months?”

"Is it because he's old, or because he doesn't shower?"

"What else can this guy do besides get me covered in drool?"

"Let me be frank with you, what I value in him is his position as deputy commander of the city defense."

"This is a map of the mountain city's defenses." "To get this map, I had to put on quite a few scenes of gentlemen reading late into the night and women adding fragrance to the air."

As she spoke, Yoko Minamida pointed to one of the spots and asked, "Kumano-kun, do you know what this place is?"

After carefully examining it for a long time, Kumano Ryohei said uncertainly, "The pier, Pier No. 7."

“That’s right, it’s Pier 7. It’s piled high with tung oil and cotton yarn waiting to be transferred,” Nantian said, tracing a line on the table with his finger as if sketching a precise battle map.

"And here?" Yoko Minamida moved her fingertips slightly to another location.

"Is this... Guanyin Bridge?"

Yoko Nanta chuckled and said, "That's right, it's Guanyin Bridge."

"The place the principal must pass through on his way from the official residence to the Executive Yuan."

"An 'accidental' fire at Pier 7 was perfectly timed, occurring during the evening shift change when the flow of people was at its most chaotic."

"Once the fire starts, thick smoke will billow into the sky, inevitably illuminating half of the mountain town in red,"

"The firelight is the most conspicuous signal flare in the mountain city at night."

Kumano held his breath, his fingers unconsciously curling up.

“And when the fire broke out,” Nantian’s gaze fell back on Kumano’s face, a deep blue flame seemingly leaping in his eyes, “we arranged for several loyal and patriotic individuals, carefully selected by us, to be stationed near Guanyin Bridge on the only road leading from the official residence to the Executive Yuan.”

"Let them stage a righteous and indignant 'stop the internal strife and eliminate the traitors' action."

"I don't need to tell you the target, right? To commit murder in the street, clean and efficient. What will happen to the crowd when the gun goes off?"

"Even if they fail, they will shift their focus to No. 50 Zengjiayan."

"Just imagine what the consequences would be if we did this?"

Ryohei Kumano closed his eyes, immersing himself in his imagination, and slowly said, "Fire, shooting, explosion, panic, all kinds of emotions will spread like a plague, making people feel uneasy."

“Exactly so.” Yoko Minami nodded slightly, as if approving of a student’s correct answer. “Fire burned at the docks, blood flowed at Guanyin Bridge, and waves of panic swept through the streets.”

"Not only that, the anger of those in power will ignite the entire city."

“The nerves of the Military Intelligence Bureau will be stretched to the limit in an instant. Faced with such a ‘sudden’ and ‘serious’ series of events, they will inevitably, as you think, swarm out and pounce on Zengjiayan No. 50, or try to control the situation and arrest the so-called ‘criminals’.”

"The conflict between the two sides will escalate, and I can tell you that this is our opportunity."

Nantian Yunzi's voice seemed to carry a strange magic: "While everyone's attention was firmly drawn to the towering flames and the bloodshed in the streets, at that moment, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the Red Party, and even various other forces were inadvertently stretched and dispersed to the maximum extent..."

"Mr. Wang, and the people escorting them, will be able to slip away silently through the 'safe passage' we've already arranged, like water dissolving into sand..."

Her finger made an extremely slight yet incredibly smooth gliding motion on the table, pointing towards the misty riverbank.

"Leave this mountain town."

"I must say, the entire plan is as natural and perfect as an autumn maple leaf slowly falling..."

Yoko Minamida seemed to be reveling in her perfect vision.

"Major Minamida, I think you are right." Kumano Ryohei bowed slightly and said, "I will try to go back to headquarters as soon as possible to get the approval of my superiors."

"If Mr. Wang can leave the mountain city, you will be the greatest contributor."
