Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

"Zhen Ping, the Republic of China government is holding a celebration banquet at the Peace Hotel tonight. You can come with me and meet your uncle."

Matsudaira Jiayuan took the opportunity of the Wang Puppet Government's private banquet to meet with Shimazu Chinobu. It was not a good idea to keep dragging on the matter of his nephew, so it was better to talk about it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary worries from the Navy.

Although Shimazu Chinobu had always wanted to meet Zhou Ke alone, he happened to be on the invitation list today, so he readily agreed.

This time he has secured a position as a colonel commander of the Special Marine Corps in the Navy. I believe that after he reveals his identity and persuades Zhou Ke, he will definitely choose to join the Navy.

"Uncle, my nephew is also on the invitation list today. I'm already at the Peace Hotel. I won't come with you when the time comes." Zhou Ke replied as he looked at his military police who were repeatedly checking for hidden dangers.

"Okay, uncle and your uncle will arrive early today. Since you are there, prepare a quiet room in advance." Matsudaira Jiayuan gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

Zhou Ke received an invitation to a banquet from the puppet government the day before yesterday, and yesterday he also received a request for assistance from Minamizō Yunko who had just been discharged from the hospital.

The staff of No. 76 are a bit sloppy in their work, and today's event is very important, so it was natural for Minamizō Yunko to seek help from military adviser Colonel Matsuda.

Seeing that he could not avoid it, in order to prevent being sent away by his own people, Zhou Ke notified the Military Control Commission's Mountain City Headquarters in advance not to cause trouble while still strengthening the original security force.

He is not so afraid of being shot by his colleagues now, but he is a little worried about those unexpected explosive methods.

After all, there is an old saying: A good archer dies from his arrows, a good warrior dies from his soldiers, and a good swimmer drowns in the water. Zhou Ke, who has his own arsenal of weapons since his debut, is undoubtedly a master of explosives.

If Zhou Ke himself was not here today, and if many of his future backers and connections were not here, Zhou Ke would definitely have transformed from a bomb disposal operator to a bomber.

"Everyone, cheer up and don't miss anything! Commander Matsuda will pay for the high-quality meals here at noon today, brothers!" Under Zhou Ke's arrangement, Tanegashima Kenji led a small team to check each room one by one.

The Peace Hotel is currently in a completely closed state. Zhou Ke has sent almost half of the regiment's personnel here, and every key location is guaranteed to have at least three people on guard at the same time.

"Mr. Matsuda, how can we trouble you to pay? We at No. 76 also have a share in this restaurant. We will just give your subordinates a free bill when the time comes!" When Ding Mocun heard Tanegashima Kenji's shouting, he forced a smile and said to Zhou Ke in a flattering manner.

"Ding Sang, since you have this intention, I would like to thank you on behalf of my subordinates!" Zhou Ke patted Ding Mocun's shoulder with satisfaction. Such a considerate subordinate makes people feel comfortable to get along with.

After bidding farewell to Ding Mo Village, Zhou Ke personally joined the patrol and inspection team with a large number of bodyguards around him.

........

On the rooftop of an attic near the Peace Hotel, two members of the action team belonging to the Military Control Commission's Shanghai New District were observing the situation around the Peace Hotel through binoculars.

"Xiao Duozi, I think the number of additional guards from 8 o'clock this morning to now must be a regiment! All the trucks that come here one after another are carrying additional personnel!"

Ma Guocheng, the captain of the first action team, looked seriously at the military police who came one after another. The policemen in black and the plainclothes officers who belonged to unknown forces were gathering more and more.

Even in many places inside the Peace Hotel, there were many people standing. On the streets around the hotel, not only were the shops closed, but there were also a large number of patrol officers.

"Captain, what you said before about having a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps was a bit exaggerated. Today, I have seen it for real!" Xiao Duozi, a member of the action team, couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at the security arrangements of the Peace Hotel.

"The Japanese must have learned a lesson from the last incident. They are being too careful this time. You see, all the windows we can see here have curtains drawn." Ma Guocheng said with deep approval.

In fact, the reason why there was no one at the sniper point on the rooftop where they were located was not because Zhou Ke had overlooked it, but because from this position one could at most see the outer windows and could not hit the interior of the hotel.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Zhou Ke simply ignored some unimportant points when deploying his defenses. He always had to leave some space for the military to investigate the situation, so that they would not think that he was successful and cause unnecessary sacrifices.

"Go and inform the people in Team Two that our Team One can't do anything on the periphery. Quickly signal the comrades who have obtained identities and entered that the operation is canceled!" Ma Guocheng gave orders while observing.

Given the exaggerated level of security outside, he didn't believe that the hotel would be so tight on the outside but lax on the inside.

.........

"Brother, you are really careful and decisive. If it were me, I would definitely not send so many people here as security!"

Kojima Hirokazu and Yamauchi Osamu, along with a group of plainclothes officers from the Special High Technology Department, also arrived at the Peace Hotel in advance. However, looking at the situation Zhou Ke had created, it was obvious that they were no longer useful.

"Brother, you have to be careful. The case of Boss Zhang has not been closed yet. Many generals from our military police headquarters will be here today, so I am worried!"

Zhou Ke glanced around the banquet hall and while speaking, he threw a piece of soap into the pocket of a passing waitress.

This waitress looked familiar to him. After repeatedly comparing her with the photos in the space, Zhou Ke was sure that this waitress with makeup was one of the people he let go at Jiangwan Racecourse last time.

Since it was useless to contact the Military Control Commission’s Mountain City Headquarters in advance, Zhou Ke could only remind the people he recognized.

"I have also heard about Boss Zhang's case. It really cannot be judged by common sense. I hope nothing happens here this time. My cousin and his family are here today!" Yamauchi Osamu said with some concern.

"Boss Zhang's death was indeed bizarre. I was at the scene last time, but I didn't find any clues afterwards!" Kojima Hirokazu sighed, staring at the ceiling.

"Brother, you don't have to stare at it anymore. Don't worry about the ceiling. We've already sent someone to check it!" Zhou Ke said with amusement as he looked at Kojima Hirokazu's expression.

What he did last time when he produced Boss Zhang’s sauce is not something that the current Military Control Commission can do, or even the future Military Control Commission can do.

"Sir, the commander-in-chief is here, and General Shimazu from the Navy is also here. They specifically want to see you!" Zhou Ke's military police came over to report.
