Keiji Tsuchihara valued this trait in them; such people could be used for his own purposes as long as they were given power and benefits.

He waved his hand, signaling the two men to leave, and then turned to Taro Sagawa and said, "My purpose in coming to Shanghai this time, besides setting up an agency, is mainly for the new government. Ding Mo and these Chinese are the intelligence department we are preparing for the new government. This matter is of great importance, and we must take it seriously."

Sagawa Taro suddenly realized that this was preparation for the establishment of a new government. He asked softly, "So, the KMT vice president is already willing to cooperate with us?"

"He's like a stray dog ​​now. Without our support, he can only go into exile abroad. Does he have any other choice?" Tsuchihara Keiji sneered, unwilling to discuss the matter further. "By the way, how's Kitaoka's work going? The Eclipse Project has already been delayed for quite some time. When do you plan to finish it?"

Sagawa Taro hurriedly replied, "We've reached the final stage. There's at most one month left. Team Leader Kitaoka has been staying at the printing base, not daring to slack off in the slightest. We're just waiting for the engraving to be completed so we can start production!"

"Then hurry up and don't let what happened to Kanda Tamayama happen again. Do you have any leads on that mysterious Shanghai intelligence unit? Be careful of another attack from them!"

Keiji Tsuchihara saw the name of the Shanghai Intelligence Section multiple times in his report. It has now become the Special Higher Police's main adversary. This cheetah, hidden in the shadows and occasionally revealing its sharp fangs, is making it difficult for the Special Higher Police to cope and keeps them busy.

Taro Sagawa glanced at Keiji Tsuchihara and said with a troubled expression, "Although we have been dealing with this special forces unit for two years, we have never met them. We know nothing about them. Even our informants hidden in the Military Intelligence Bureau have not found any information about them. This is my dereliction of duty."

At this point, he glanced at the door again and said with a doubtful tone, "Therefore, I am not optimistic about whether these two can handle the Shanghai Intelligence Section. Can their intelligence capabilities really be better than ours?"

Tsuchihara Keiji snorted and said, "Don't underestimate these two. The reason I chose them is not only because of their strong intelligence capabilities, but also because they used to be members of the Green Gang. We are short of manpower and our control over Shanghai is still insufficient. We must rely on the local gangs in Shanghai. However, we have occupied Shanghai for more than two years, and the Green Gang has not been able to be used by us. This time, we will rely on their connections to bring out the power of the Green Gang."

"The Green Gang?" Sagawa Taro asked doubtfully. "Most of the Green Gang's leaders are hiding in the French Concession. Our forces can't get in at all. Just last month, we lost more than a dozen agents."

"If we can't find him in the French Concession, we'll look in downtown Shanghai. Have you ever heard of Li Yunqing?"

“Li Yunqing? Isn’t he the Green Gang boss who was expelled from the French Concession by Yue Sheng years ago?” Sagawa Taro thought for a moment and found the person in his memory.

The former Green Gang leader, who had fallen out with Yue Sheng in his early years and was forced out of the French Concession by Yue Sheng, is a figure who has long since passed away. He is probably in his seventies now. Can such a person still be used by the Japanese?

Tsuchihara Keiji laughed and said, "Don't underestimate this man. He's quite senior in the Green Gang. Many of the Green Gang leaders in Shanghai are his former disciples, including Li Zhiqun. Li Zhiqun has successfully persuaded Li Yunqing to help us deal with Chinese spies. Of course, we'll need to offer some equivalent benefits, but that's not a problem. So, I have high hopes for this new department. You need to find a good location for them, a large place with convenient transportation, and make arrangements as soon as possible."

Sagawa Taro quickly nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We have a large mansion at No. 76 Jessfield Road. It was originally the residence of the former chairman of Anhui Province, China. We later seized it. I think we should arrange it here. What do you think?"
