Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1122 Just kill Uchida!

Beiping.

After Zhang Lu was arrested, Uchida Eisuke used almost every means to subject him to the most cruel torture.

Uchida knew that if he captured a Red Zone underground agent of this caliber, he would either confess at first or he would not, depending on his interrogation skills.

If the level of torture is not high and the torture is not cruel enough, it is absolutely impossible to pry these people's mouths open.

Only by inflicting maximum physical and psychological torture can a confession be obtained.

During this period, it is also necessary to prevent the interrogated person from committing suicide.

While Zhang Lu was being severely tortured, the military police also launched a large-scale operation, arresting customers who frequented the Yong Sheng Photo Studio based on the young man's confession. They arrested people without asking any questions, beat them, and then questioned them.

By the evening of the following day, there was not a single good spot on Zhang Lu's body. His mind was extremely confused, and his breathing was very weak.

Just then, Eisuke Uchida gave him drugs.

After the hallucination hijacked his will, Zhang Lu began to talk about some locations and names. A rough count showed that these places were distributed in Shimen, Jicheng, Daocheng, Jieshi, and outside the Great Wall. Uchida Eisuke was overjoyed. Wasn't this the underground transportation network of the Northern Bureau?

He immediately reported the matter to Kitahara Ransuke, who then went to see Okamura.

Okamura was also surprised upon hearing this, "It seems that this Uchida Eisuke is indeed a capable person, very efficient in his work!"

Kitahara Ransuke thought for a moment and said, "Haha, Uchida is indeed very serious and hardworking."

Okamura glanced at him. Okamura now had two top-notch counter-espionage agents under his command. Lin Ze was a given, and Kitahara was also quite reliable.

As for Hanaya Tadashi, Okamura treated him like a fart.

In Okamura's plan, Kitahara Ransuke and Hayashi Sawa should be irreconcilable enemies.

But ever since the incident where Lin Ze killed the ronin, Okamura noticed something was off. Kitahara Ransuke was being a little too nice to Lin Ze!

At the time, Okamura didn't think much of it. He just felt that the North China intelligence system was united in purpose, and while they could fight for power in peacetime, they could also unite against a common enemy in times of trouble.

Not only Okamura noticed this, but the subordinates could also sense the subtle relationship between Minister Kitahara and Commander Hayashi. This was not due to Kitahara's poor acting skills, but rather because Hayashi's charm was too profound, and Kitahara sometimes couldn't help but reveal his true feelings.

Just like in some large organizations in later generations, some leaders would laugh and joke with each other when they met, but those who were observant could always see the vigilance and indifference beneath the warmth. Some leaders would not even greet each other when they met, but in critical moments, they could always rely on each other.

“Kitahara, you need to stay in Beiping. I think we should let Uchida coordinate with the local military police headquarters and military police units to quickly carry out the arrests. During this period, Uchida can temporarily guide the work of the local military police headquarters and military police units involved in this case. If necessary, we can also arrange a special train for him to go to various places to make arrangements.”

"Hayi!"

Once outside, Kitahara's face darkened.

Now he is the head of the North China intelligence service, a major general, and his perspective on issues is very different from before.

Through this arrangement, he saw that Okamura was trying to make some changes to the structure of the North China intelligence system.

Okamura's attempt shows that the time for a showdown has come.

Some might think, "Has Kitahara lost his mind? He's just a major general, and Okamura is his superior. What makes him think he can compete with him?"

To illustrate this with a simple example, Okamura is like the chairman of a group company, while Kitahara is like the head of a branch company.

At this position and level, the branch manager naturally has to obey the group's leadership and instructions, but the group cannot completely disregard the branch manager's opinions and attitudes.

Beiyuan, the branch company, used to have a monopoly on a certain type of business within the group. Now, the group chairman is about to be transferred to another location. Before leaving, he wants to adjust the branch company's business system and break Beiyuan's monopoly. Can Beiyuan just let others take advantage of it?

Of course, this kind of power struggle is not a life-or-death struggle, but a tacit balance. It's like in the future, I take away one of your deputy bureau chiefs, and you take away one of my powerful business department heads. Then, on the third day, the two big shots suddenly have dinner and drinks together, chatting happily, as if nothing had happened.

Back at the Special Operations Department, Kitahara picked up the phone and called Lin Ze.

"Hey, Lin Jun, I think it's necessary for us to make a joint appearance."

Lin Ze lit a cigarette and asked calmly, "What's wrong? Has General Okamura given that Uchida more responsibilities?"

Kitahara Ransuke was utterly shocked. "Rin-kun, you planted a bugging device at the Army Headquarters?!"

Lin Ze smiled and remained silent. Everything has its reasons. Given Okamura's personality and habits, he wouldn't be himself if he didn't do things this way.

"Lin-kun, I just came back from him. Uchida Eisuke's case was indeed handled very well. Okamura put him in charge of the operations in various places and said that during the investigation and the arrest of the criminals, he had the authority to guide the military police headquarters in various places. Now I'm worried that if this case is over, he will take this opportunity to transfer Uchida Eisuke to the Special Service Department and make him a deputy director. What will happen then?"

Kitahara's analysis impressed Lin Ze. Indeed, one's perspective is determined by one's position; Kitahara Ransuke's higher vantage point allowed him to see further.

It was only a matter of time before Okamura went to Nanjing to become the commander-in-chief. His intentions were quite clear: he wanted to continue to control the situation in North China after he left, and act as a de facto ruler.

Lin Ze has already said he would help him achieve this, but given his personality, he certainly wouldn't place all his hopes on just one person.

The Special Service Department of the Army Group is a key department for him to continue to control North China. So now that he has the opportunity, Okamura will definitely add his own people to it and arrange for someone to balance things out with Kitahara. Ideally, Kitahara and Uchida should fight each other to the death, so that Okamura will not have to worry about the Special Service Department getting out of control.

"So you want me to attend some event with you, make a splash, and give Admiral Okamura a warning?"

"This is my current thought, but I'm a little worried that it will cause serious dissatisfaction from His Excellency the General. I wonder if Mr. Lin has any better ideas?"

"Kitahara, this doesn't need to be so complicated. Just arrange for Uchida to be taken care of."

"what?"

“Kitahara-kun, Okamura just wants to stir up trouble. It’s his habit. Just because he wants to stir up trouble doesn’t mean he wants to turn against you and me. If we appear as allies now, it will only arouse his suspicion. If someone blocks your way, just take care of that person. Why do you have to take another path?”

"Uchida is a colonel, the commander of a local military police force. If this is exposed, it will be a huge scandal..."

Compared to the news of the Special Agent Minister assassinating a local military police commander, the previous scandals involving Kenshiro Shibayama pale in comparison.

"So, it's best to be discreet. It's normal for the Red Zone to retaliate when Uchida is arresting people from the Red Zone everywhere, right? Once he's dead, you can instruct the military police headquarters in various regions to strengthen counter-espionage operations and avenge Uchida!"
