Chapter 683 You can try to be more friendly
Yoshida Hayato looked coldly at Aoki Takeshige who was crawling on the ground and expressing his loyalty and demonstrating his value passionately.
Every detail of the man's reaction, who had just returned from hell and was hit by a huge pie, was in line with his own expectations: his morbid worship of aristocratic grace, his deep-rooted hatred for his opponents, and his ambition to risk everything to get to the top.
When Aoki mentioned Feng Zixiong, a hidden clue of great value, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in Yoshida Hayato's eyes.
Even though Aoki Takeshige had fallen to the point of being a patrolman, he was still able to establish an intelligence network, which is enough to show that this person is indeed capable.
You can try to be more friendly towards him...
"Aoki-kun," Yoshida Hayato's voice was not loud, but it immediately interrupted Aoki Takeshige's anxious self-narration, and made his body involuntarily tense up again.
"Your loyalty, General, is already known.
Being able to get a card like Feng Zixiong despite enduring so much over the years can also reflect your value, however..."
Yoshida Yuto paused deliberately. "The reason why His Excellency the General noticed you, a dying man, among the thousands of soldiers and ordered you to be rescued from the Hongkou bombardment..."
Bending over, Yoshida Hayato approached the frozen Aoki Takeshige and said, "The source is precisely that Miss Nanjō Yunko who only knows how to perform sorcery as you said.
It was she who recommended you to General Takazaki, and she gave a very important guarantee and recommendation for your talents and... your grievance of being severely underestimated by Doihara!"
hum!
Aoki Takeshige's mind went blank in an instant!
Time seems to have frozen.
His face, which had flushed red just a second ago due to the excitement brought by the huge opportunity and Feng Zixiong's informant, instantly lost all its color and became even paler than when Hasegawa Kiyoshi heard about the tragedy of the plague!
The originally straight spine seemed to be hit hard by an invisible giant hammer and suddenly collapsed. The whole body kneeling on the ground began to tremble violently involuntarily!
It's not excitement, but a severe dizziness that makes the world spin and cognition completely collapse!
Made in the south. . . Yunzi? !
That bitch he'd gnashed his teeth at, hated to the bone! That woman he'd just cursed with the most vicious language, the one he'd considered the source of all his humiliation and misfortune!
It was her... She recommended herself?!
The huge sense of absurdity and the extremely complex impact swept through his soul like a tsunami!
shame!
An intense feeling of shame of being exposed in front of others and being seen through like a clown!
He was just denouncing Nanzō Yunko's "charm", but his jealousy and resentment had probably become a joke in the eyes of the real big shots!
Horrified!
I knew that Nanzō Yunko was currently the Chief of the Special High Section of the Tianjin Military Police Headquarters, but I had no idea that she actually had direct access to a top noble like General Takazaki?!
And it seems that General Takazaki values her very much.
This can be seen from the fact that General Takazaki sent someone to find me after Nanzō Yunko recommended me!
This woman... was far more than a simple sex-fueled spy! Had my deep-seated prejudice and hatred for her clouded my judgment?
Confused!
Why did Nanzō Yunko do this? Did she discover my value and want to recruit a useful "dog"?
Or did she see that I was trying every possible way to get out of the quagmire, and was afraid that I would have the chance to turn around and cause trouble for her, so she took the initiative to show goodwill to me?
anger!
A kind of humiliating anger of being played around with and forced to accept the "favor" of the enemy!
Not only did his hatred for Nanzō Yunko not disappear, but it became even more twisted and complicated because of this unexpected "recommendation"!
It was a mixture of indescribable gratitude, even if reluctantly, for the objective fact, and deeper resentment!
These emotions collided and tore apart his chest wildly!
The fingernails of the clenched fists dug deeply into the palms, as if only the physical pain could suppress the huge waves in the spiritual world!
Yoshida Hayato observed Aoki Takeshige's wonderful inner turmoil calmly, allowing silence to permeate the room like a blunt knife cutting flesh.
He didn't speak again until Aoki's rapid breathing subsided a little, and although his body was still stiff, the confusion in his eyes began to be replaced by something colder and harder.
"Aoki-kun, put aside those unnecessary complex thoughts and past grudges!" Yoshida Yuto's voice was firm and decisive, with a strong pressure and guidance: "What the General values is whether you can play your true value in the new battlefield given by the Empire!
Nanzō Yunko’s recommendation is true, but it is just a stepping stone.
What the general truly admires is your resolve to remain undefeated by Doihara, your willingness to endure humiliation and endure hardship, and your courage to brave death on the battlefield at the crucial moment!
Taking a step forward, Yoshida Hayato grinned, "So, the General has issued the order!
The Military Police Headquarters will soon establish a more complete and efficient intelligence center in Shanghai, directly under the Military Police system! Special Higher Police Section, Shanghai Branch!
Yoshida's gaze was as sharp as a knife, fixed on Aoki's eyes, which had just regained some clarity. "This crucial position has been personally appointed by the General. You, Aoki Takeshige, will be responsible for establishing and serving as the first section chief!
You will take charge of the Empire's intelligence work in Shanghai in a brand new capacity! You will be directly responsible to General Yingqi! "
"Section...Section Chief?! Special High Section?!" This earth-shattering news was like a bucket of ice water mixed with boiling magma, instantly pouring over Aoki Takeshige's confused consciousness!
All the shock, shame, resentment, confusion, and anger towards Nanzō Yunko... in the face of the ultimate reward of absolute power and supreme opportunity, were instantly suppressed, compressed, and distorted, and then... transformed into a purer and more intense flame of desire for power!
The body that was originally lying on the ground suddenly shook!
He suddenly raised his head! All the confusion in his eyes disappeared without a trace!
Instead, there was the icy sharpness and extreme calmness that was unique to intelligence personnel after rapid cooling!
Like a hound smelling blood, like a poisonous snake locking onto its prey!
The smoke of war in Hongkou, the pressure from Hasegawa Kiyoshi, the ecstasy of being favored by the general, the astonishment of being recommended by his enemy... All of these became the most powerful fuel that ignited his long-hidden and extremely suppressed desire for power and ambition!
The sense of honor of a samurai family? The concept of almsgiving among the nobility?
At this moment, facing the extremely powerful and attractive position of "Chief of Special High Section", everything turned into naked political desires and the absolute goal of proving oneself!
Nanzō Yunko? No matter what her purpose was in recommending her, it had now become a springboard for him to ascend to this crucial position!
Her "favor" will be "repaid" in the face of this overwhelming power in a way that she may never have anticipated!
In just a few seconds, Aoki Takeshige's mental outlook changed drastically!
From the humble believer who was excited, from the wretch who was overwhelmed by shock.
Instantly switched back to the time when he was often deep in the archives of the Consulate Police Department.
In the corners where no one is watching, an intelligence hunter weaves a deadly web with cold patience!
