Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 504: 193, Chen Shanhe, Chen Kainan, father and son finally meet!_1

The dining table fell silent; all eyes were drawn to the somewhat plump elder.

They all wanted to know more details.

On one hand, they felt a mixture of lament and curiosity for Chen Shanhe’s fate, and on the other, there was a certainty that following Japan’s dramatic upheaval, a new governing power would rise to the throne, meaning there would be a new King.

The new King’s attitude towards Grand Xia would profoundly influence the relationship between the two countries in the near future.

If the new King were pro-Grand Xia, then industries related to Japan were likely to boom, and those who made early arrangements could easily reap enormous benefits.

The same principle applied in the reverse situation.

If the new King of Japan favored America, then relations between the two countries would become very poor, necessitating the early disposal of Japanese-related products; otherwise, they might risk getting stuck with them in the end.

Since the somewhat plump elder had revealed this information, it obviously wasn’t to play coy or to present a riddle.

Setting down his eating utensils, his gaze swept over each person’s face, finally settling on Wu Jingguo as he said, “I really don’t have any overly specific intelligence. ”

“According to the information I received, it could have been yesterday, the day before, or even today, America’s newly appointed Duke Johnson Hester made a private contact with the King of Japan, but we’re unclear about what was discussed.”

“Later, my agents received top-secret intelligence that Ichiro Toyota would visit America under the guise of a private citizen, and he’d be bringing Chen Shanhe with him when he traveled.”

“Around the same time, Chen Shanhe’s subordinates were also on the move. He had just formed a new squad called Wind Forest Volcano Mountain, and those men were acting closely together. However, their awareness for security was strong, and it was difficult to determine exactly what they were up to for the time being.” @@novelbin@@

“Later, Toyota met Johnson Hester at the Johnson Tower in America, and what the two discussed is currently a mystery.”

Hearing this, a thin elder sitting nearby couldn’t help but interject with a complaint, “What’s going on? Is your department just eating its salary? Why can’t you figure anything out?”

“Back in my day, we would have known how many times the King of Japan went to the bathroom at noon, and how long he stayed each time!”

Every major country has its own intelligence agency.

Grand Xia, of course, has one too, it’s just that it was never publicized. It operates very discreetly and, in addition, with the reinforcement of internet security protocols, not many are aware of it.

The somewhat plump elder pursed his lips and retorted unapologetically, “Who was managing Japan’s intelligence organization in your time?”

“Those good-for-nothings back then, I didn’t even need to keep an eye on them personally; my people could handle them easily and keep them in line.”

“And who’s in charge now? That would be Chen Shanhe personally overseeing them. In his first month in office, he replaced all the key positions in the intelligence department with his own confidants, and their counterintelligence awareness is all trained specifically to counter our methods.”

“Think about it, can that be the same?”

Upon hearing this, the thin elder who had just been rebutting fell silent, while others around the table nodded in agreement.

Chen Shanhe was indeed no simple figure,

Otherwise, he would not have been able to rise from such a low starting point to become the underground emperor of Rakshasa City.

HIs skills and methods in infiltration and counter-infiltration were such that no one present, regardless of who they were, was completely confident in dealing with him.

Wu Jingguo chuckled and said, “All right, let’s not bring up those things from the past. We’re all old now. Continue, what happened next?”

The somewhat plump elder nodded and resumed his narrative, “Not long after Ichiro Toyota left Johnson Tower, he encountered an accident, and at the same time, my intelligence agents in Japan reported that many forces began to move simultaneously.”

“Chen Ze, Chen Shanhe’s most beloved son, as well as all his trusted subordinates were killed, their stronghold was washed in blood, and even his two sons, barely born for long, died from various ‘accidents.’”

“Now, most people in Japan still have their eyes on the news of Toyota’s death, so not many have taken notice of these events.”

“Combining all the intelligence obtained so far, we can come to a tentative conclusion.”

“Either Toyota or Chen Shanhe must have offended the interest group behind Johnson Hester, resulting in a thorough purge.”

“It’s just still unclear, since Duke Johnson Hester has not yet firmly secured his position, what kind of deep-seated feud would lead the opposing party to act so urgently in eliminating them.”

As those words settled, everyone present fell into deep thought.

They were all seasoned veterans of political warfare, well-acquainted with all sorts of open and covert battles, conspiracies, and schemes.

Yet, even for them, it was difficult to speculate on the exact nature of the conflict between the parties.

One elder, who wasn’t particularly focused on America, said, “From what you’re saying, it must be Chen Shanhe who has offended the interest group behind the Johnson family, but is it possible he had previously wronged Hester?”

“After all, in my memory, Hester is quite volatile and capricious. If you say it was for his own selfish desires that he acted against Chen Shanhe, that seems plausible too, doesn’t it?”

Before the somewhat plump elder could reply, the thin elder cut in, “That’s where you’re not informed. The fact that Johnson Hester could smoothly become the Duke of America, is beset with its own mysteries and perplexities.”
