Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 627 Diffusion

Mine looked at the report in his hand. Hamaguchi Hisanao and Oda Taro knelt in front of the long table without daring to breathe. The only sound left in the room was the sound of the report materials being flipped through.

After reading it, Mine looked up, his face gloomy as if water might drip out. He asked in a deep voice, "So those corpses falling from the sky are all officers and soldiers of the Kita Division? The entire division died, and they were sent back for free? Is this a myth, or are you kidding me?"

Oda Taro's forehead was covered in sweat. "Your Excellency, we didn't believe it at first, but... the nameplates on the soldiers' bodies and the identification cards on the officers' bodies all confirm this. We also found the families of some soldiers and officers and asked for their photos to compare with the bodies, and it's confirmed!"

Mine looked at the two of them, slowly put down the report, stood up, walked to the corner, and picked up the phone on the table. He dialed a number, and when the call was connected, he said, "This is Mine, please ask the Chief of Staff to answer the phone!"

"Hayi, please wait a moment!"

After a while, an old voice came from the phone: "Mr. Mine? This is Gong Zai."

Mine immediately said, "Your Highness, I would like to know the current situation and specific location of the Kita Division. As the Chief of the Army General Staff, you should be very familiar with the situation of each division in China, right?"

An old voice came from the other end of the phone: "Kitado Toto should be participating in the battle to attack Sand City. I don't know his exact location right now, but I can call the China Expeditionary Force Headquarters immediately to inquire!"

Minai immediately said, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness. I'll be waiting by the phone for your call!"

After hanging up the phone, Mine turned around, walked back to the table, knelt down, pointed at the report on the table, and asked, "Why doesn't this report mention what caused the Kita Division to fall from the sky after being poisoned? You're not going to tell me that the Chinese gods used magic to send them back, are you?"

Hamaguchi Hisanao quickly said, "Sir, Director Oda has not received confirmation from the military. If it can be confirmed that the Kita Division has disappeared in China, then we can be completely sure that these bodies falling from the sky are from the Kita Division!"

"As for what caused them to suddenly disappear from China and then suddenly return, Oda Taro speculated that it was probably a tornado or similar natural disaster that struck after their death, allowing their bodies to return for free. Other than that, we can't think of any other reason."

After hearing this, Minai thought for a moment and nodded. "Indeed, there are many phenomena in nature that we don't know about and can't explain. We must keep this matter secret and absolutely cannot let the news leak out, otherwise it will definitely cause adverse reactions!"

The two people opposite hurriedly bent down and lowered their heads: "Ha Yi!"

Hamaguchi Hisanao asked again, "Sir, the Kita Division is gone just like that. We must give an explanation and reconciliation to the outside world and their families. How should we tell the outside world and their families?"

Minai waved his hand: "There's no rush for this matter. Let's wait for the army to give us accurate information before making a decision!"

"Ha Yi"

After a few minutes, the phone rang: "Ding-ling-ling..."

Minai stood up and walked over to answer the phone: "Moshimoshi"

"Mister Mine, this is Miyasai. The China Expeditionary Army Headquarters called back and said they couldn't contact the Kita Division either. The Kita Division hasn't sent a message to the headquarters for a day, and the headquarters sent messages asking about the situation but received no response. However, they have contacted the Otani Detachment, which is closest to the Kita Division. The Otani Detachment has dispatched a special operations team as quickly as possible to the location where the Kita Division last called back."

"Mr. Mine, you suddenly asked about the Kita Division. Did something happen to the Kita Division?" Miya Zai asked on the other end of the phone.

Minai said, "A few days ago, there were news reports saying that bodies were falling from the sky in various places. I wonder if you have read the report?"

"Oh, I know about this incident. It is said that quite a few corpses fell from the sky. I was wondering why this strange phenomenon happened. Is there any inside story?" Gong Zai asked on the phone.

Mine said, "The Metropolitan Police Department has been investigating this matter for the past few days and has come to a horrifying conclusion. So far, they've found multiple bodies. They were all killed by the poison gas before they fell. Furthermore, each of them was wearing a military uniform. The soldier nameplates and officer IDs on the bodies prove they were from the Kita Division!"

"What? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Gong Zai on the other end of the phone roared angrily after a final surprise.

The roar coming from the phone almost broke Minai's eardrums. He quickly put the phone away and waited until the roar stopped before continuing with a wry smile into the microphone: "I don't believe this investigation conclusion either, so I came to you to ask about the situation of the Kita Division! If... the Kita Division disappeared over there, then this conclusion is correct!"

"Okay, even if I don't sleep for the next few days, I will urge the China Expeditionary Army Headquarters to find the Kita Division. I will inform you as soon as I have any news!"

"Thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Mine returned to kneel before the long table and was about to speak to Hamaguchi Hisanao when a staff member came in from outside the door with a report: "Your Excellency, Mr. Akita from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has come to report something extremely important to you!"

"Oh? Please ask him to come in!" said Mine.

"Hayi!"

Two minutes later, the door was opened and a bald man in his fifties or sixties wearing a suit stood at the door carrying a briefcase and walked in.

"Mr. Mine, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest so late at night!" Akita Kazukiyo said with a bow.

Mine smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I don't think Akita-kun would come so late. Please sit down and talk!"

"Hayi!"

At this time, Hamaguchi Hisanao said, "Mr. Mine, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Akita Kazukiyo quickly said to Hamaguchi Hisanao, "Mr. Hamaguchi, Director Oda, please don't leave yet. I need to report something to Mr. Yonai, and I may need your help."

Hamaguchi Hisanao and Oda Taro were both a little puzzled, but they stayed anyway.

After they sat down again, Hamaguchi Hisanao said to Mine, "In recent days, our Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has received calls from health departments and hospitals across the country. They report that the number of patients visiting hospitals has suddenly increased, causing overcrowding and a shortage of medical supplies!"

"What's most worrying is that many patients are showing symptoms highly similar to those caused by plague, cholera, typhoid, and anthrax. This morning, we have dispatched technical experts with specialized testing equipment to various locations!"

"The situation in Edo is the most serious because of its large population base and the density of people living and moving around here far exceeds that of other places. All the major hospitals here have conveyed to us their concerns about being overwhelmed!"

"If tests confirm it's some kind of epidemic, then... we'll be in big trouble!"
