After switching out of Kujou's skin, Ze Anzhi returned to his room and lay down for a nap. It wasn't until the alarm clock by the bed rang that he got up and tidied himself. Ever since he donned the SS uniform, he could no longer look at any other military attire with the same admiration!
He followed Takatsukasa Chikurin and got into a car heading to the New Continental Hotel. As soon as they got in, Takaishi greeted him warmly, "Asuka-kun, you look energetic today!"
It was clear that Takaishi's enthusiasm was influenced by Kujou's instructions, but it felt a bit excessive.
"Eagle Lord, you're too polite," he replied. "The prince told me you made quite a name for yourself in Germany and even gained a status in the SS. That's impressive!"
"Oh? The prince mentioned that to you?"
"Yes! He even praised you as an Empire Hero!"
"Ah, the prince is overly flattering; Asuka Ryo can't bear such praise!"
"Asuka-kun, don’t be too modest. The prince has another request for you, but you can assess your own capabilities."
"A request from the prince? Please tell me, Eagle Lord! Asuka Ryo will do his utmost!"
"I remember when you first joined the Gendarmerie, you mentioned that the prince had arranged for you to infiltrate the Guomindang back then, right?"
"Yes! If it weren't for the Guomindang arranging my return from infiltration, I wouldn't have met you, Eagle Lord!"
"Then, can you get in touch with the Guomindang?"
"Of course! I have a contact who is actually the daughter of a former high-ranking official in the Guomindang. She is currently my girlfriend and lives in Harbin. Plus, I have a Transmission Machine; I've reported all of this."
"Then, Asuka-kun, can you get the Guomindang to take action in Harbin?"
"Huh? Eagle Lord, I've worked hard to convince the Guomindang that Manchuria will remain stable and that the Empire will no longer impose violent rule. Everything targeting us has already ceased. What major changes could have occurred between our two nations in these past few months?"
"No, no, no, Asuka-kun. Your efforts have been fruitful; the Guomindang has been very quiet since your departure. Under our Gendarmerie's governance, even public security incidents are decreasing."
"Eagle Lord, what reason do I have to take action? Who would be the target?"
"Tojo Hideki! How he dies is up to you."
"What?! Tojo Commanding Officer!!!"
"Calm down, Asuka-kun. Both of us are close aides to the prince; I believe you understand why he wanted me to tell you this."
"I think I understand now. It must be that Military Headquarters wants to intervene in Manchuria. Tojo Commanding Officer is sent by Military Headquarters to stir trouble; having not acted for so long must be causing issues for the prince! I get it! I will contact the Guomindang. If they hesitate to act, I will take matters into my own hands. However, please make sure to inform the prince that Asuka Ryo’s family needs his assistance."
"No, Asuka-kun, His Highness has already guessed that you would take risks, so let me inform you that you must not act impulsively. Even if the Guomindang dares not take action, His Highness does not wish for loyal subjects like you to speak of loyalty lightly! Therefore, Asuka-kun, the Guomindang can try; if not, we will discuss other methods. You must not act rashly!
I will contact the Guomindang as soon as possible, but I need Eagle Lord to provide me with credible intelligence or evidence to prove that eliminating Tojo Old Bastard will bring significant benefits to the Guomindang.
No problem, One and I will find a way. However, His Highness has made it clear that Tojo Old Devil should not die too quickly; he needs to remain in Harbin for a while longer before his demise.
As Ze Anzhi got out of the car at the New Continental Hotel, he immediately spotted Wu Miaoyuan waiting at the entrance. Ze Anzhi hurried over and asked, 'Wu Miaoyuan, what brings you here?'"
