Furthermore, please rest assured, Bitter Spring and the organization, that now that I am prepared, I am confident in handling this crisis. If necessary, I will manage everything properly and will never implicate the organization. Therefore, any organization personnel connected to me do not need to evacuate in advance; I have this resolve!
Takasugi Hitoshi is demonstrating his stance to the organization, meaning that in the end, he will take his own life to ensure the organization's safety.
Lu Chengfeng's heart tightened, and he grabbed Takasugi Hitoshi's hand. He said in a deep voice, "We still have a chance. I suggest we evacuate!"
Takasugi Hitoshi smiled slightly, gently grasped Lü Chengfeng's hand, and said in a seemingly relaxed manner, "This is just the worst-case scenario, but I am confident that I can get away with it. Ihara Taichi and I are not only classmates but also friends of many years. I know him very well. His political stance is lenient, and he himself has little aversion to communist ideology. Even if he really knows that I am indeed a communist, he will not go so far as to kill me out of consideration for our many years of friendship. Besides, I don't think the Special Higher Police will have any solid evidence. So as long as I am on guard, there is a chance for this matter."
Lu Chengfeng was about to try to persuade him again, but Gao Shanrenxi stopped him and said, "Alright, it's decided then. I'll give you a brief overview of the investigation now."
Lu Chengfeng's expression immediately turned serious, and he listened intently.
"Based on the intelligence we had previously obtained, I took the opportunity of this interview to finally find the so-called 'Qingshui Research Institute' in the garrison area of Xiaguan. It is located at the foot of Huanghu Mountain. I checked around and everything is under construction. It is a large-scale project and I estimate that it will be officially put into production in a few months. Moreover, I also saw a key figure at the command post!"
"A key figure?"
"Yes, the key figure is named Keisuke Ueno, a biochemical expert in Japan. I interviewed him years ago, but then he disappeared. He is now a lieutenant colonel in the army, so it seems he has joined the military. I am certain that he is preparing for the establishment of the Qingshui Research Institute. Based on this information, it completely confirms the intelligence we obtained earlier: the Japanese military has begun to build a poison gas bomb factory in Nanjing. In the future, a large number of poison gas bombs will appear on the battlefield between the enemy and our side, causing great harm. Therefore, we must take precautions against this situation as soon as possible."
Since the start of the full-scale war between China and Japan, the Japanese army has repeatedly disregarded international conventions and used poison gas to attack Chinese troops on the battlefield, causing massive damage to the Chinese army.
However, the poison gas shells that appeared on the Central China battlefield were all transported from Japan or Northeast China. Due to various reasons such as transportation, the number of poison gas shells was limited, and they were not used very often.
However, the underground party learned through channels that the Japanese were planning to establish a poison gas bomb production base in central China to expand the use of poison gas and kill a large number of enemies on the battlefield with minimal cost. Therefore, Takasugi Hitoshi used his special identity to quickly find out about the poison gas bomb manufacturing base.
Yesterday at noon, he was preparing to report these situations to Kuquan when he went to the rendezvous point. He almost got exposed, and if it weren't for Shadow's timely warning, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After listening, Lü Chengfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I will report to Kuquan immediately. What about your communication? You can't just stay in hiding forever."
Takasugi Hitoshi shook his head. He was also unsure of how things would develop. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "We definitely can't conduct intelligence activities or make contact anytime soon. However, since Shadow has access to the Special Higher Police, let Kuzumi contact Shadow and ask him to keep an eye on the Special Higher Police's reaction. Only if they can confirm that my threat has been eliminated can we resume our activities."
Lu Chengfeng nodded in agreement, and the two chatted briefly before parting ways.
This meeting made Takasugi Jinki realize where the danger came from, and feeling somewhat relieved, he quickly left to visit Ihara Taichi, the president of the United News Agency.
