Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

There is a slight difference in Chapter 654.

"No, no. I was just thinking, is it a little inappropriate for us to discuss this kind of issue so openly?"

Seeing Jiang Nian looking at him with suspicion, as if questioning his abilities, Wei Tao quickly shook his head and explained with a wry smile.

This isn't their territory, after all!

"It's alright, no one will overhear what we're saying. Quickly analyze the current situation; we have a tough battle to fight tonight."

After understanding Wei Tao's concerns, Jiang Nian laughed and casually waved his hand without explaining further.

Just kidding. Since he chose to discuss these matters with Wei Tao here, he naturally had the system seal off the entire store beforehand to ensure that their conversation would not be overheard by either party's intelligence system.

Wei Tao simply couldn't be as calm as Jiang Nian. Although Jiang Nian had made things very clear, and Wei Tao himself had made thorough preparations, there was still a certain gap between being well-prepared and the actual situation.

However, seeing that Jiang Nian's expression was clearly impatient, Wei Tao quickly began to explain.

"That's how it is. If it were the Tano family at its peak, Ishida Maki's side wouldn't be able to suppress both the Tano and Takahashi families. After all, the Taza family is also on the same side as the Tano family and will inevitably join the attack. Now the Tano family is beginning to decline, and this is Tano Takeshi's only chance to turn things around. But the fact that the Takahashi family obtained two missiles has already spread among the high-ranking military officials in Japan, and there are actually quite a few people on Takahashi Somo's side. Since we've chosen to have Mr. Ishida Maki step in, we still have a chance to suppress these two major forces all at once. However, Comrade Jiang Nian, I still want to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

"At midnight tonight, the Shadow Organization will conduct a transaction with Takahashi Sumu on the sea, and those two missiles will also be delivered to him simultaneously. Based on my speculation, it's impossible for Tano Takeshi to stand by and watch Takahashi Sumu get those two missiles. After all, if Takahashi Sumu really gets his hands on those two missiles, the Tano family will be completely finished. So there will inevitably be a battle on the sea tonight. The higher-ups should have told you that we need to support Mr. Ishida Maki's development within the Japanese military. I think this conflict between the Takahashi family and the Tano family is an excellent opportunity."

After pausing and drinking a glass of water, Jiang Nian continued to explain.

"If these two missiles fall into Mr. Ishida Maki's hands, then Mr. Ishida Maki will naturally have the greatest say. At the same time, the Takahashi family and the Tano family will have completely broken off relations, and neither side will have time to compete for military power anymore. As long as Mr. Ishida Maki comes to power, then we will naturally have no worries."

At this point, Jiang Nian no longer hid anything.

Anyway, if I see Maki Ishida tonight, these things will be discussed openly. Telling Wei Tao now is to give him some time to prepare, so he won't be too shocked when he hears the news tonight.

Even so, after hearing Jiang Nian's explanation, Wei Tao's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth agape for a long time, and he forgot to close it.

There was nothing he could do; he was simply too shocked.

He could clearly hear and understand every single word Comrade Jiang Nian said, but when they were put together, he felt somewhat bewildered and couldn't quite believe what he was hearing.

As a Chinese, Wei Tao naturally understood one thing deeply—what kind of impact Jiang Nian's words would have on the Japanese military if they actually came to fruition.

As long as everything is for the sake of China, it doesn't really matter what they do. It's just that Comrade Jiang Nian suddenly brought them such a big piece of news, which really shocked Wei Tao.

"I understand, Comrade Jiang Nian. But how are you so sure that the Tianye family and the Takahashi family will definitely clash tonight?"

Although the deal between the Shadow Organization and Takahashi Suki has spread among the high-ranking military officials in Japan, it is only known to them.

No party was informed of the specific time and location of their transaction.

Even the Tianye family probably couldn't have gotten accurate information so quickly.

Wei Tao had one more thing he didn't say: What if this news was false? Then if they met with Ishida Maki and sent her to sea to play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, to suppress the forces of the Tano and Takahashi families, the result would be truly disastrous.

In the end, because of this, they will lose Mr. Maki Ishida's trust.

After his initial shock, Wei Tao calmed down considerably and began to analyze the current situation.

It's crucial to understand that their every action must be flawless. Even the slightest mistake could have catastrophic consequences.

Because of orders from his superiors, Wei Tao still had great faith in Comrade Jiang Nian's abilities. However, such news was far too significant, and any decision needed to be carefully considered to avoid any mistakes.

"The reason I know this news is, of course, because I was the one who decided the time and place of the transaction with Takahashi Somoku."

You don't need to worry about anything else; you just need to know that there will absolutely be no problem with this.

As for the Tianye family, I'm certain they've received the message and will appear at sea on time.

What you need to do is to persuade Masaki Ishida to take his men to sea.

At the right time and place, wipe out both the Tano and Takahashi families, and bring back those two missiles.

After all, only by bringing the missiles back can the foundation for Maki Ishida's rise to power be truly laid.

Without those two missiles, even if Maki Ishida successfully suppressed the forces of both the Tano and Takahashi families at sea, it wouldn't have been of much use.

At this moment, Wei Tao was thinking "Holy crap!" countless times, and his mind was filled with countless thoughts of alpacas.

He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Comrade Jiang Nian actually said that he decided the time and place of the transaction between the Shadow Organization and Takahashi Sumu?

Is this really not a joke?

Wei Tao felt that this world was a bit surreal. Otherwise, how could he have heard such unbelievable news?

However, it was clear that Jiang Nian did not give Wei Tao a chance to recover, and continued to say to him: "I suggest that you arrange for some people to go out to sea with you in private."

After all, accidents can happen at any time in naval battles. Even if Mr. Ishida Maki is capable of suppressing the other two forces, we should still prepare in advance, just in case.

Jiang Nian was no longer discussing things with Wei Tao; he was issuing an order.

Still immersed in the fantasy world he had entered, Wei Tao could only nod foolishly, then get up and walk in another direction.

He was on his way to carry out the task Jiang Nian had just given him. He'd only taken a few steps when Wei Tao suddenly snapped back to reality. He froze, then turned around in shock: "Comrade Jiang Nian, what you just said, is it all true?"

Is this really not a joke?

“I don’t have time to joke with you here. You need to get the manpower ready. This matter cannot afford any accidents. I believe the higher-ups have already told you—do everything here according to my orders. I will take full responsibility for any problems that arise, so you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

By this point, Jiang Nian's tone had become very stern.

He felt that the people Gao Shiwei had recently introduced to him seemed to be a bit slow-witted.

First it was Mu Zi, and now Wei Tao has arrived, neither of them seem very bright. I don't know how these kinds of people manage to survive in Japan.

However, it's clear now that Jiang Nian doesn't have any capable people at his disposal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Gao Shiwei to arrange people for him.

Sensing the displeasure in Jiang Nian's tone, Wei Tao finally realized what was happening. He bowed solemnly to Jiang Nian, then turned and left.

He almost forgot his duty—which was to obey orders from his superiors.

Now, Comrade Jiang Nian is his superior.

No matter what happens, no matter how dissatisfied or doubtful you are, you must not show it. You just need to do as Comrade Jiang Nian instructs.

Once he realized this, Wei Tao acted much faster.

It was previously agreed that I would meet Mr. Ishida Maki at eight o'clock, but thanks to Wei Tao's extensive coordination,

Around seven o'clock, Wei Tao took Jiang Nian to a very low-key car and arrived at an even more low-key restaurant.

The entire restaurant has been booked out for the day; apart from two staff members, there is no one else around.

Judging from the two waiters' gait, Jiang Nian could tell that they were quite skilled and were probably from Ishida Maki's group.

Wei Tao was not surprised by this setup; he must have been quite familiar with it by now.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, Mr. Maki Ishida is in this room. Please confirm again, are we really going to have a frank discussion with him about this tonight? If something goes wrong, our cooperation with Mr. Maki Ishida will be completely over."

Wei Tao pointed to a private room, lowered his voice, and spoke very seriously to Jiang Nian.

Before stepping into this private room, there was still room for maneuver.

But once they stepped inside and told Mr. Maki Ishida the whole story, they really had no chance to regret it.

After listening to Wei Tao's advice, Jiang Nian paused for a moment, then broke into a big smile: "I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Jiang Nian would never do anything he wasn't sure of.

Before setting off here, he had already received a message from the Shadow faction—Takahashi Sumu had already led the elite forces of the Takahashi family out to sea.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhou also sent a message to Jiang Nian—Yuriko went to the Tianye family during the day.

It was said that they were going to rescue Mr. An, and they brought a lot of people from the Tano family, with Tano Takeshi personally leading the team to the sea.

It's said that the Tasa family also sent a considerable number of people. However, what Jiang Nian found strange was that Tasa Daiya's men were deployed along with Tano Takeshi.

Could it be that Takahashi Somoki is planning to join forces with Tasa Daiya to launch a sneak attack on Tano Takeshi?

No! If Daiya Taza has really joined forces with Soki Takahashi, then the news that the Tano family has dispatched elite forces, led by Takeshi Tano, to sea should have reached Soki Takahashi.

According to the information from Dark Hawk, Takahashi Somoki seems to be completely unaware that Tano Takeshi has also gone out to sea.

Could it be that Daiya Taza was a double agent?

With Yuriko around, Takeshi Tano must know that Daiya Taza has betrayed him. So what exactly is the current state of the relationship between Daiya Taza and Takeshi Tano?

Jiang Nian touched his chin and could only sigh – this show is getting more and more exciting.

He only hoped that the man he was about to meet, Mr. Maki Ishida, would not disappoint him.

"Mr. Maki Ishida, hello. This is Comrade Jiang Nian. Comrade Jiang Nian has brought very important news that he needs to convey to you in person."

After confirming that Jiang Nian had no intention of leaving and was determined to see Mr. Ishida Maki, Wei Tao said nothing more. After leading Jiang Nian into the private room, he spoke first, earnestly introducing Jiang Nian's identity to a middle-aged man in his forties.

In fact, Maki Ishida and Wei Tao had known each other for a long time. Therefore, Maki Ishida knew that the person Wei Tao was introducing to her with such seriousness was probably of a higher status than Wei Tao.

To be honest, before coming here, Maki Ishida didn't think Wei Tao had any urgent news to share with her. But Wei Tao kept emphasizing how serious the matter was.

After careful consideration, Maki Ishida agreed to meet Wei Tao in order to ensure that her relationship with him would not be damaged.

Upon meeting Jiang Nian, Maki Ishida felt a slight stirring in her heart. After all, this Mr. Jiang Nian looked far too young.

The fact that such a young man could reach his current position, and that he displayed such composure and maturity in his presence, made Ishida Maki's heart skip a beat—this could only mean one thing: this young man was no ordinary person. She had made the right decision to come and meet him.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Nian, I am Maki Ishida. It's a pleasure to meet you."

After mentally assessing Jiang Nian, Maki Ishida took the initiative to greet him.

"Mr. Ishida, this is Jiang Nian. I have something very important to discuss with you. Time is short, so I won't beat around the bush. The competition between Takeshi Tano and Susumu Takahashi in the Japanese military has reached a fever pitch. With two missiles in hand, Takahashi is practically invincible. I'd like to know one thing—Mr. Maki Ishida, are you interested in using this opportunity to advance your career in the military?" (End of Chapter)
