Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1084 - Tracking and Pursuing 3

1084 Tracking and Pursuing 3

The person in charge of the Japanese embassy in C City, Hirahara-san, was taken aback. How could he have the guts to speak to a person in charge like that? Did he think that he would get away unscathed when he did that?!

If Ito-san’s brains hadn’t malfunctioned, then the only other reason he could speak to Hirahara-san like that would definitely be because the thing he had on his hands was that important! It was even more important than the entire Japanese embassy, so what exactly could it be?!

Hirahara-san’s eyes were already seeing green. All of a sudden, he began speaking in a series of seemingly meaningless katakana and hiragana, just like how little children learned how to pronounce the Chinese language phonetically when they first went to school.

However, this fake lawyer, Ito-san, knew what it was the moment he heard it. Hirahara-san was speaking to him in code. Ito-san nodded and replied Hirahara-san in the same code.

In translation, what they were talking about was something along the lines of, “...Yes. It’s extremely important. It is so important that every single one of us can sacrifice ourselves, except for him. He has the first and second phase experiment results for the technology of the quantum network satellite.”

Hirahara-san was so shocked that he went silent for a couple of seconds. Then, his breathing became heavy, like a lecher who had just seen the most beautiful woman in the world. He could not even breathe properly anymore. “You... You... Is what you’re saying true?! Are you sure you haven’t been cheated?! People from the Huaxia Empire can be scheming! Beware of scams!”

Although he had said to “beware of scams,” Hirahara-san already believed what Ito-san had said. He was merely issuing the warning out of habit.

Ito-san replied proudly, “Of course I know how to differentiate between truth and lies. He has already sent me part of the technology of phase one. I’ve already forwarded it to the Secret Service in Tokyo. They are currently testing it to see if it’s the real deal. The moment they have confirmed its authenticity, they will immediately utilize all their powers that they have been hiding in the Huaxia Empire to get this man to Japan no matter what!”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Hirahara-san replied, and his flat face shined with an oily gleam. “For the prosperity of Japan! We will get him to Japan even if we are to die here!”

“For the prosperity of Japan!” Ito-san was getting agitated as he felt like the Huaxia Empire’s law enforcement and government was closing in on them, fast. “Quickly, think of a way for us to escape!”

“What way do you want me to think of right now?!” Hirahara-san gritted his teeth. “Look at what the people of the Huaxia Empire are doing. They already knew that you were coming to the embassy! That is why you must not come! The moment you come near the place, you’ll be giving up your life to them!”

Ito-san’s heart sank. “Your decision makes sense.” He had only been focused on getting into the embassy just now, because according to the laws on foreign affairs, the Japanese embassy would be equivalent to Japanese land. No matter how aggressive the police force of the Huaxia Empire could be, they would not be able to enter the embassy to arrest them. Therefore, seeing all the military and police vehicles outside, as well as the armed soldiers and police officers, he realized they were there because of the man beside him.

When he thought about it like that, Ito-san had already fully believed Hong Kangquan’s words. If he did not have the real information, why would the Huaxia Empire go through so much just to arrest him?!

But now there were obstacles both in front of and behind him. How in the world could they get away? Ito-san was still contemplating this on his own when his phone rang again. He unlocked his phone and saw that it was a coded text message from Japan’s Secret Service!

[When the sun rises in Penglai]: Information received. Authenticated. Command has been issued to use all resources to return to our country.

Then he was sent a series of addresses.

Ito-san was over the moon. Although he had already thought it through just now and knew that the information in Hong Kangquan’s hands was real, receiving the official confirmation from the Secret Service made him feel way more at ease.

He heaved a sigh of relief as he scrolled down his phone and finished looking at the plan that had been sent to him. He turned around to look at Hong Kangquan, who was still nervous, and thought, “For this small thing, they, the Japanese, will really be utilizing all their powers...”

All these years of lying low, plotting in the Huaxia Empire, and leaving so many elites there was all for today! Ito-san had an amazing memory, almost a photographic memory. He had only taken one look but had already memorized the entire plan in his heart. Turning to Hong Kangquan, he said, “Are you prepared? We will go to Japan right now!”

Hong Kangquan was taken aback. “Now? How? Don’t tell me we’ll be taking an airplane! It’s already impossible for us to return to the airport! They are definitely waiting for us back there!”

Ito-san chuckled as if Hong Kangquan was a fool. “Who said anything about going back to the airport? From here to Japan, we are able to go by sea as well.” The place where they were in C City was located near a sea port. If you were to travel east, you would be able to get to Japan.

Going by sea would be slightly farther. However, the moment they managed to travel 12 nautical miles, the Huaxia Empire would not be able to give them trouble anymore. However, according to the international nautical agreement, on top of the 12 nautical miles, there would be an additional 200 nautical miles of exclusive economic zone before they reached open waters. This meant that they would need to be 212 nautical miles away from the coast of the Huaxia Empire in open waters before they could be safe.

From C City to the nearest port in Japan in Nagasaki, the fastest route would be 466 nautical miles. This would mean that they would need to travel about half the journey before they would be able to arrive at the technically open waters. However, given how prepared Japan was this time around, Ito-san firmly believed that the distance would not be a problem. No matter how far it might be, even if the Navy from the Huaxia Empire wanted to give chase, they would also have to seek the approval of the Japanese Navy!

Right at that moment, the Tokyo Secret Service had already given him a heads up. Every single hidden agent in the Huaxia Empire would be activated to ensure their smooth journey until they were 212 nautical miles away from C City’s coast, where the Japanese Navy would then take over.

Ito-san felt full of vigor now. He opened the door, exited from the car, and disappeared into the crowd with Hong Kangquan, who had already changed into a diver’s uniform.

By the time the Special Operations Forces discovered the car, one hour had already passed. “Sir, we have found the suspect’s car. However, no one’s in it. Our initial deduction is that they abandoned the car about an hour ago.”

Huo Shaoheng received the report and sat in his personal car. He looked coldly in the direction of the embassy area and said, “Continue to surround the entire embassy area. Do not relax until we have found Hong Kangquan.”

“Yes, sir.”

However, the embassy area had already been surrounded by the army. Hong Kangquan and that fake lawyer would never be able to get through. That was the reason why they had abandoned the car, wasn’t it? So where would they escape to?

All the roads that could lead to neighboring cities had been blocked. Technically, they were unable to get out of the city. However, there were 24 million people in C City. When they tried to hide among the crowd, how would anyone be able to find them?

Huo Shaoheng thought about it quietly for a while and looked in the direction of the beach. He took out his phone and called General Ji. “I need your help, sir.”

General Ji was also waiting nervously for news from Huo Shaoheng in his office. The moment he heard Huo Shaoheng say that, he replied, “Speak. What do you need, just tell me!”

“I request a special arrest warrant. I want all broadcasting stations in C City to repeatedly show this arrest warrant for the next 24 hours.” Huo Shaoheng paused before continuing, “Also, I request the Navy’s help.”

...

Just when all television and radio stations were broadcasting Hong Kangquan’s picture and the back view of that fake lawyer for the next 24 hours, in the German embassy in Di Capital, an old person with reddish skin stood in Reinitz’s room, one hand holding onto a walking stick and the other holding a cigarette to his mouth. The old person smiled as he looked at Hong Kangquan on television and said with praise, “This picture was well taken. Don’t you think so, Reinitz?”

Reinitz smiled. A cigarette in his hand, he sat in a relaxed posture with his legs stretched straight out and said calmly, “Mr. Li Dexi, did we just sell Hong Kangquan to the Japanese like that?”

“Yep.” Li Dexi nodded as he looked for a place opposite the television and sat down. He took a puff off his cigarette and said, “We’re not interested in what he has on hand. America would be even less interested. However, the Japanese would definitely be interested. You know as well as I do that Hong Kangquan is of no value to us anymore. It would not be worth it to save him. Therefore, why don’t we use him as bait for a bigger fish?”
