“The library building? Isn’t that the base I’m currently requisitioning to complete the Eclipse Project?” Kitaoka Ryoko felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this.
This situation was extremely important. A skilled agent's intuition told her that there must be something wrong. Intelligence work can never rely on coincidences; there must be an inevitable reason behind every coincidence.
Taro Sagawa nodded and said, "I also felt there were some problems, and I was just about to remind you. Do you think this could be the work of Chinese agents?"
Kitaoka Ryoko's mind raced as she asked uncertainly, "If these two disappearances were the work of Chinese agents, how did they pinpoint these two targets? How could their information be so accurate? In such a large city like Shanghai, to accurately locate the Book Building, the information network of Chinese agents is simply too insane!"
Sagawa Taro was somewhat disappointed with Kitaoka Ryoko's performance. This woman's judgment was too subjective. He explained again, "Never underestimate your opponent, especially that mysterious special forces unit. Their intelligence capabilities are far superior to what you and I imagine. So, Team Leader Kitaoka, your most important task now is to defend the library building tightly and not give the enemy any opportunity. As for the unusual situation with the Chinese agents, leave it to me. I will gather all forces, be on high alert at all times, and set up ambush points near the library building. If their target is indeed this batch of legal tender, then I will weave a trap for them so that they will not return alive."
"Yes, I understand! I'll go back and set up the security!" Kitaoka Ryoko replied with a bow.
"No, no, Team Leader Kitaoka, my requirement is to be relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside. Under no circumstances should the shift change cycle and personnel be changed. If I were the enemy, I would definitely be secretly observing every move of the library building. You can't let the other side be on guard."
Taro Sagawa was, after all, a highly experienced veteran agent. He was meticulous in his thinking, carefully considering every detail to avoid revealing any flaws.
Kitaoka Ryoko immediately nodded and said, "Understood, I'll go back and make the arrangements right away!"
At this moment, she remembered something else and asked again, "I have another matter I would like to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Currently, Project Lunar Eclipse is progressing very smoothly. In less than a month, we have figured out the composition ratio of the pigments for the legal tender and the material analysis of the paper. The work is now in a certain stage. Further research will require the cooperation of top domestic experts. I don't know if you have submitted the application I made last time. We are now waiting for these experts to arrive!"
Taro Sagawa was clearly very satisfied with Yoshiko Kitaoka's work during this period. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The Eclipse Project is the top priority of our work right now. All departments must cooperate unconditionally. In fact, several years ago, when China's currency reform was introduced, our relevant departments had already begun to print it. However, due to various technical reasons, it failed to achieve the expected results."
In particular, the engraving process has been unsatisfactory. A year ago, we specifically changed the personnel responsible for engraving. Currently, Mr. Kanda Yushan, one of our top engraving masters, is in charge of the engraving. His engraving is nearing completion, and he will personally bring this engraving, along with two paper analysis experts, to Shanghai to assist you in completing Project Eclipse. I will immediately send people to China to welcome and escort him.”
Upon hearing this news, Kitaoka Ryoko's spirits lifted, and she hurriedly nodded, saying, "That's wonderful! The success of the Eclipse Project is just around the corner!"
Sagawa Taro waved his hand and said, "Then that's settled! Team Leader Kitaoka, I'm very satisfied with your work. If we can crack that mysterious special forces unit this time, I will personally recommend you for credit. I guarantee that this will be the most glorious moment in your intelligence career!"
"Yes, sir!" Kitaoka Ryoko was moved by Sagawa Taro's words and bowed again in response.
