Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1714 The Ultimate Intention of the Japanese

Chongqing, the basement practice room of the Chu Mansion.

Xiang Chu, wielding a modified Qi family Miao sword, was teaching his men assassination techniques.

Aside from veteran spies like Xiao Liu and Sun Xing, the others are just minor characters.

Yu Xiaowan walked into the practice room and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu! You're the worst at practicing."

"My forte isn't this kind of sword, but the broadsword!"

Liu Zhengxiong smiled wryly, put down the Qi family Miao sword, picked up a large sword, and slashed while shouting:

"Swords swung down! Slashing at the heads of the Japanese devils..."

Yu Xiaowan suggested, "Brother Chu! I think someone like Uncle Liu, who is naturally stupid, simply can't learn your exquisite swordsmanship."

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "This girl! Who's born stupid?"

Yu Xiaowan snorted, "Who told you to say we have a lot of kids?"

"You still hold a grudge!"

Liu Zhengxiong was speechless.

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Xiaowan is right! Everyone has their own expertise, so let's not generalize. Let's use whatever weapon we like."

"it is good!"

Liu Zhengxiong and the others cheered in unison.

At this moment, Qian Fu rushed in with the telegram and reported:

"Boss! Xiao Qi is calling."

Xiang Chu took the telegram and exclaimed in surprise, "The 'Piranha' special agent group led by Shi Ping has actually infiltrated the Sixth War Zone? No way! I have to go find Minister Chen right away. Old Liu! Organize everyone for training."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.

Wu Wan rushed in, calling out in a childish voice:

"Father! Mother and Second Aunt want you to go to a meeting at the Political Department."

"My eldest daughter is so good!"

Xiang Chu praised, picked up 50,000 and walked out of the training room.

Southeast of Yuyangguan in western Hubei, on a major transportation route.

Wang Batian and Ye Ying led their men to block the road, displaying a sign recruiting special agents.

Wang Batian loudly ordered, "The Director said that as long as they are willing to serve the War of Resistance and are not missing limbs, they can be recruited into the special agent team."

Ye Ying said urgently, "Section Chief! It should be voluntary to join. Recruiting is like conscripting men."

Wang Batian scolded, "You brat! How can we recruit soldiers if we don't arrest them? You take your men to the nearby villages to recruit soldiers, and I will personally oversee things here."

Ye Ying said helplessly, "Fine! Just don't kill anyone."

Wang Batian waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly! If we can't recruit anyone, Zheng Jie will eat us alive."

"Too!"

Ye Ying nodded and hurriedly led the people into the village.

Wang Batian looked at the highway and asked in confusion:

“There are usually a lot of people on this road, but when I set up a checkpoint, I can’t see a single ghost.”

An agent pointed to a spot not far away and said, "Boss! Aren't these three young villagers coming?"

On the road not far away, three young villagers pushed a cart loaded with goods over.

Wang Batian said with a smile, "Great! We can finally get a win. Quick! Get ready to arrest them."

"Yes!"

The agents all accepted the order in unison.

The three villagers were played by Tojo Aofu, Ohno Saburo, and Ohno Shiro, who were watching the post from afar, dressed in Nationalist army uniforms and Zhongshan suits.

Shiro Ohno said worriedly, "Chief! Could this be a checkpoint set up by the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Tojo Aofu scolded, "Don't call me Chief. I'm called Gao Yuan now. You should call me Ai Dajing and Ai Erjing respectively. You should call me Cousin Gao or Cousin Zhiyuan. I'll call you Big Cousin and Second Cousin."

"Yes!"

Ohno Saburo and Ohno Shiro accepted the order in a low voice.

Tojo Aofu cautioned, "Don't be too nervous! We're just villagers who've never seen the world before."

As the three approached, they were immediately surrounded by Wang Batian and his men.

Wang Batian said with a smile, "Fellow villager! Where are you going?"

Tojo Aofu said respectfully, "Sir! There are quite a few troops stationed at Yuyang Pass. We'll go there to sell some local products and earn some money so we can get married."

Saburo Ohno and Shiro Ohno chimed in, "Yes! Get married."

Wang Batian waved his hand and said, "There's no need to sell local specialties to save money to get married. As long as you join our Military Intelligence Bureau, you'll each get two wives."

"real?!"

The three, including Tojo Aoka, exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Batian pointed to the registration table and said, "Put the goods in the warehouse, then go over and register. From now on, you'll be glorious Kuomintang agents, and two beautiful wives are beckoning to you."

"Thank you, sir."

The three, including Tojo Aoka, said excitedly.

Wang Batian scolded, "From now on, you must call me 'commander,' understand?"

"Yes, sir."

Tojo Aoka and the other two respectfully accepted the order and headed to the registration table.

"We're open for business! Haha!"

Wang Batian was overjoyed and his mind went blank with happiness.

He never imagined that he had recruited three Japanese spies.

Chongqing, combat research conference room.

Xiang Chu came to the meeting with Kong Ling and Ning Caiwei.

There weren't many people in the conference room; those who came were all important figures.

Xiang Chu asked in confusion, "Ah Ling! There used to be so many people in the combat research conference room, why are there fewer people now?"

Kong Ling said in a low voice, "This kind of meeting involves secrets and cannot be held in the form of combat research. The fact that you, as a special agent, can attend the meeting shows that the higher-ups value you."

Xiang Chu feigned excitement and said, "Really?! I'm flattered."

Kong Lingchen said, "Stop it! Remember, you're not allowed to talk nonsense in the meeting. If you anger the teacher or offer wrong advice, you will be punished."

Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "It's so dangerous, I shouldn't have come."

Kong Ling scolded in a low voice: "If you don't attend important meetings, how will you become a higher-ranking official in the future?"

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "I discovered you were greedy for money before, and now I've discovered you're greedy for power."

Kong Ling said domineeringly, "Since you're my man, you must become a high-ranking official and make a fortune."

Dai Nong walked into the conference room, deliberately sat down next to Xiang Chu, and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Xiang! The master asked me to report on the troop deployment of the Japanese 11th Army. I haven't had time to get a clear picture yet. Why don't you report it to me later?"

Before Xiang Chu could agree, Kong Ling immediately retorted, "Hey! Acting Director, you are the director of the intelligence bureau controlled by the Party and the State. If you don't report, who will?"

Dai Nong, thick-skinned as ever, said with a smile, "This time, we really weren't prepared..."

At this moment, Governor Chiang stepped out of the secret room and announced loudly, "The meeting begins! Dai Nong! Report on the troop deployment and movement of the Japanese 11th Army."

Dai Nong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a flustered manner, "Inspector Jiang! I haven't had time to summarize the intelligence gathered by the special agents. Could you please ask intelligence expert Chu Xi to report?"

Governor Jiang nodded and said, "Alright! Then let's invite the intelligence expert, Expert Chu, to come up on stage and give his report."

Kong Ling was about to explode on the spot, but Xiang Chu stopped her.

Xiang Chu went up on stage, picked up a piece of chalk, and sketched the terrain of western Hubei on the blackboard.

Then, he meticulously plotted out the enemy and our troop strength and situation in detail.

Minister Chen, Minister He, and others were utterly shocked, staring intently at the map.

Minister He couldn't help but ask, "Chu Xi! Is this troop deployment the current one?"

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No!"

Governor Chiang said irritably, "Why did you draw it if you didn't?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It's not the current situation, it's yesterday's plan."

"what!"

Governor Chiang was dumbfounded.

After Xiang Chu finished drawing, he picked up his pointer and pointed to the map, saying succinctly, "Gentlemen! Judging from the troop movements of the Japanese 11th Army, Yokoyama Yusuke is using the pretext of seizing Changde, the granary of the nation, to launch a feigned attack on the Changde line. In reality, his aim is to wipe out the main force of the Sixth War Zone, advance into Chongqing, and relieve the pressure on the Pacific theater."

Minister Chen nodded and said, "This is the Japanese's ultimate intention in this Battle of Western Hubei."

Minister He shook his head and said, "That's not right either! If the real purpose of the Japanese 11th Army is to capture Changde and seize important manpower and grain production areas, our losses will be too great."

Governor Jiang asked, "Expert Chu! Do you have a foolproof plan?"

Xiang Chu pointed his pointer to a point on the map and said loudly, "We can use Shimen as the center to prepare mobile elite troops. We can advance to support northern Hunan and defend Changde. We can retreat to protect western Hubei and ensure the safety of Chongqing."
