Chapter 389 No news on the lighter?
"report!"
"Come in!"
Jiang Yifan pushed open the door of Keiko Tanaka's office, walked to the front of Keiko Tanaka's office, stood at attention and said:
"Chief! Shinichi Shimahashi is here to report to you!"
"Very good! Close the door!" Keiko Tanaka said to Jiang Yifan.
"Hayi!"
Jiang Yifan answered, walked to the door, closed it, and returned to Tanaka Keiko.
"Please sit down! It's not something that can be explained in just a few words." Tanaka Keiko said in a rare gentle tone.
After Jiang Yifan sat down, Tanaka Keiko explained the situation in a simple and clear manner.
"Did Haruto Toshida escape from the U.S. military base in Wucheng alone?" Jiang Yifan asked nervously.
"He's the only one! If there are more people, it will be troublesome." Tanaka Keiko answered truthfully, "The problem now is that we can't get in touch with him? We don't know where he is now? We can't even make a connection. We only know that after he completes his mission, he will come to the Shanghai Special High Section to see me, and then, under my protection, I will take a special plane to send him back to the mainland."
Hearing this, Jiang Yifan couldn't help but feel a pain in his balls. Such important information, but Keiko Tanaka actually told him all of it right in front of him. Isn't this harming himself?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifan's vigilance suddenly rose, and he looked at Tanaka Keiko and said:
"Chief! This is all top secret! You can't reveal any more. I will do whatever you say. I hope you won't tell me this kind of top secret information again in the future!"
"Since I asked you to come back, I chose to believe you. However, belief requires taking risks. So far, besides you and me, only Sato Ichiro and Hihara Ryosuke know the truth. So, this time we are not one person, but a group. We will prosper together and suffer together. No one can shirk responsibility, especially you and me. Do you understand?"
Tanaka Keiko answered with a serious face.
Jiang Yifan looked at Tanaka Keiko and told the truth:
"Watch! To be honest, as soon as you called me, I knew that this must be an extremely dangerous mission. It would be fine if I completed the mission, but if I failed, I might lose my head. But based on what you said just now, I will believe you once more. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"Is there any ready-made solution? Just based on what I just said, let's see how we can find Tokida Haruto as soon as possible and send the information back to the mainland safely."
Tanaka Keiko said in a heavy tone.
"After Haruto Toshida escaped, why hasn't he contacted us since then?" Jiang Yifan asked again.
"He escaped alone and didn't have a radio. How did he contact us?" Tanaka Keiko answered in confusion.
"So, who was the first to know that Haruto Tokuda had escaped?" Jiang Yifan asked again.
Hearing this, Tanaka Keiko's eyes became noticeably sharper, like a sharp blade piercing Jiang Yifan's heart.
But then, Tanaka Keiko's eyes softened again and she replied:
"After Tsuneda Haruto succeeded, he informed the headquarters via radio and then fled. The headquarters wanted him to rush to Shanghai."
"Has anyone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come?" Jiang Yifan asked again.
"No, but Professor Yudai Asakura came with a German translator!" Keiko Tanaka looked at Jiang Yifan and answered truthfully.
In fact, she didn't want to reveal the information, but thinking that Jiang Yifan had just passed the potion screening, and this mission was too important, if she kept it secret and couldn't be honest with each other, this kid might do something weird again, so Tanaka Keiko chose to answer every question.
Jiang Yifan certainly didn't know the purpose of Professor Asakura's visit. Wasn't that German a soldier? So he asked casually:
"What is he here for?"
"He came to accompany a German scientist and officer, Lieutenant Colonel Cole. After getting the intelligence, he returned to the mainland with us and helped us with our experiments."
Tanaka Keiko answered again.
Damn it! They are really in cahoots with each other! Needless to say, this Professor Asakura is also an expert in Japanese atomic bomb research.
It would be great if these two people could be kept in China to help China with atomic bomb research.
Jiang Yifan had wild ideas in his mind and was dreaming.
However, he quickly regained consciousness, which was impossible.
Because Jiang Yifan knew that under the conditions at the time, it was impossible for China to conduct atomic bomb research in terms of both manpower and financial resources.
Let’s just take it one step at a time!
It would be great if we could get back the information stolen by Haruto Toshida and get away with it. If possible, it would be best if we could keep these two so-called scientists.
Ideals are great, but reality is terrible!
"Report to the boss! The American Intelligence Agency has sent another telegram, asking if there is any news!"
Zhang Xiansheng handed a telegram to Boss Dai and said.
"Ask, ask, ask. You only know how to ask. How can this information be so easy to get? Even if we have the information, we can't tell the truth. What if there are Japanese spies among them? Wouldn't that put Lighter in danger again? Just say there is no information for the time being!"
Boss Dai was already furious because he had no clue about the matter and was scolded by the old man. He did not expect the US Intelligence Agency to add fuel to the fire. He said in a bad mood.
"Yes!"
Zhang Xiansheng answered and turned to leave, but was stopped again:
"No news on the lighter?"
Zhang Xiansheng shook his head and told the truth: "Boss! There is no news about the lighter for the time being! Do you want to urge it again?"
Hearing this, Boss Dai shook his head and said, "Let's just let it go. Nothing must happen to this kid, otherwise, we will really become deaf and blind."
"Yes!" Zhang Xiansheng replied and turned to leave.
"Why is this Chinese agent always dragging his feet? It's been more than ten days, and there's still no clue?"
After seeing the telegram from the Chinese Secret Service Headquarters, Director Sidney Soules expressed great dissatisfaction.
"The main thing is that the incident happened suddenly and it was during a war. It was really not easy to find someone, let alone a high-ranking Japanese spy."
Confidential Secretary Joseph Burns explained.
"But, you know, if this information falls into the hands of the Germans and the Japanese, the consequences will be unimaginable, right?"
Sidney Sols replied solemnly.
"In fact, if we put ourselves in their shoes, the Japanese and Germans don't want us to have it either? So, this is a contest between life and death. Whoever can research it first will own this world!"
Joseph Burns looked at Sidney Soules and answered tactfully.
"That's why I'm so worried! I can't sleep or eat! The president called me several times and asked about it!"
Sidney Souls said with a bitter look on his face.
