Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Chapter 1110 Colonel Seiya Giga

The "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" in North China was established in Beiping as early as the end of 1937, and people like Wang Kemin and Wang Yitang had long been posing as officials.

However, the establishment of puppet regimes in cities, counties, and even important towns has been very slow.

The establishment of puppet regimes at the municipal level naturally had to be prioritized, and as the most important cities, ports, and industrial and commercial centers in the north, the establishment of puppet municipal governments in Beiping and Tianjin was bound to be put on the agenda.

"General Kita is quite efficient," Zhou Zhengqing casually remarked, his tone as indifferent as if he were commenting on the weather.

He bent down and helped Huizi hold onto the withered branch that kept slipping, guiding her to insert the "spear" diagonally on the other side of the snowman "Grey Grey," crossing it with the previous "sword," creating a rather comical yet majestic sight.

"continue."

Nanzo Yunzi understood, skillfully flipping through the thick file and directly finding the section on the relevant personnel list.

Her gaze fell on the paper, her red lips parted slightly, and she began to read out the names that were about to "make their appearance" in her unique, slightly languid yet clear tone:

"In Beiping, General Kita has initially drafted the following list of key personnel for the provisional municipal government: Yu Jinhe, the former director of the Beiping Public Security Bureau, is proposed to serve as mayor."

Secretary-General Ye Sui, Director of Finance Ye Yongfang, Director of Education Wang Yangyi, Police Chief proposed to be concurrently held by Pan Yugui, Director of Social Affairs Ye Wenyue, Director of Public Utilities Li Jingming...

Each name that Nanzo Yunzi uttered was like an invisible pebble thrown into a calm snowfield, yet exuding a musty, stale scent.

To Zhou Zhengqing, this soul from the future, these names, though he didn't know exactly how they betrayed their country for personal gain, all carried a heavy sense of historical dust and a nauseating taste of national shame.

They may have been officials, scholars, or local gentry of the previous dynasty, but at the critical moment of national peril, they chose to kneel before the enemy, using their "experience" and "connections" to whitewash the invaders and exploit their compatriots.

Zhou Zhengqing remained calm and even somewhat indifferent.

Having transmigrated here and taken on the body of Takasaki Takuto, I've long been accustomed to sharing the same space and time with these demons and monsters.

In his view, these people are less individuals with vibrant emotions and more labels, symbols, pawns to be used, or obstacles that need to be removed at a certain time.

"What about Tianjin?" Zhou Zhengqing interrupted Nanzo Yunzi's recitation of the list of names in Beiping and asked directly.

He reached out and gently brushed away a few fresh snowflakes that had just fallen on Huizi's woolen hat.

Nanzo Yunzi seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately turned to the next page of the document.

His gaze swept quickly across the paper, then he looked up at Zhou Zhengqing and reported, "In Tianjin, the establishment of the municipal government is relatively lagging behind, and the framework is still in its initial stages."

According to the preliminary plan submitted by the Tianjin intelligence agency to Beiping...

She paused slightly, as if confirming the information, and then continued, "They provided more than a dozen candidates for mayor, deputy mayor, and other department heads."

Meanwhile, the position of police chief is expected to still be supervised or concurrently held by someone appointed by our military police headquarters, but the specific candidate has not yet been agreed upon by all parties, and it was not specified in General Kita's letter.

It is worth noting that...

At this point, Nanzo Yunko paused for a noticeably longer time.

She raised her charming yet shrewd phoenix eyes and gave Zhou Zhengqing a special look, her eyes seemingly carrying a hint of "General, listen to this."

Then, in a slightly playful tone, as if sharing some interesting gossip, she revealed the personnel appointment that truly surprised Zhou Zhengqing: "The candidate for the head of the Tianjin Special Service Agency was recently officially determined by a joint decision of the Army Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters."

The newly appointed head of the agency is Colonel Seiya Giga.

"Yi E Cheng?" Zhou Zhengqing's eyebrows suddenly rose. This time he was genuinely surprised, and even subconsciously interrupted Nanzo Yunzi's report that was about to continue.

He turned around and faced Nanzo Yunzi directly: "Isn't he the deputy director of the intelligence department of the former Tianjin Garrison Army Headquarters?"

How did he suddenly become the head of a secret service agency?

This is indeed a surprising leap.

The head of the intelligence agency, although the military rank may not be particularly high, usually a colonel or a senior lieutenant colonel, his actual power and influence in the occupied area are comparable to that of a local warlord.

It was responsible for all intelligence gathering, strategic planning, espionage activities, infiltration and sabotage of resistance organizations, support and control of puppet regimes, and even some economic plunder and resource allocation in the entire region. Its status and power were far beyond that of a deputy director of the intelligence department under the garrison headquarters.

Of course, they were inferior to the "local tyrants" of the military police, who held absolute control over the areas they controlled, regardless of whether the Japanese or Chinese were involved.

However, intelligence agencies also wield considerable power over the Chinese people and should not be underestimated.

Although Seiya Giga had previously worked in intelligence and had some experience, he was not a core figure in the intelligence agency system and lacked the distinguished qualifications to independently lead a region.

Furthermore, he had previously been transferred from combat units to civilian positions to engage in intelligence work.

This promotion and transfer was nothing short of meteoric, a meteoric rise that must have something fishy going on.

Nanzo Yunzi revealed a meaningful, almost seductive smile that hinted at a "watching the show" attitude.

She seemed quite satisfied with Zhou Zhengqing's reaction, which proved that the information she brought was indeed valuable.

“General, you remember it perfectly.” Nanzo Yunzi lowered her voice, as if sharing a secret: “After the original Tianjin Garrison Army was disbanded and its core members were incorporated into the newly formed North China Area Army’s directly subordinate units, there were many personnel changes at all levels, leaving a lot of power vacuums.”

Colonel Seiya Giga... According to multiple sources, he seems to have gotten in touch with a powerful figure in the Army Ministry's Military Affairs Bureau and the General Staff Headquarters, and also received a strong recommendation from his former superior, Yasuji Okamura.

In addition, he did have a certain understanding of the local situation in Tianjin, and this "qualification" was deliberately exaggerated, ultimately leading to his exceptional promotion to head of the Tianjin Special Service Agency.

This appointment caused quite a stir within the system, surprising many, especially...

She paused deliberately before slowly uttering the name: "Mogawa Hidekazu of the Mogawa Mansion."

“Mogawa Hidekazu?” Mogawa Hidekazu’s appearance immediately came to Zhou Zhengqing’s mind. The last time he saw Mogawa Hidekazu was at the banquet welcoming him to Tianjin.

The actual person in charge of the Maochuan Mansion was a veteran spy who had long been engaged in espionage activities in North China, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area. He was one of the capable henchmen of Kenji Doihara, who was already lying in Sakura's small suitcase.
