Dai Li looked a little haggard.

It is rare to see the Battle of Songhu until now.

Director Dai is always in high spirits every time I see him. You don't want to see a trace of fatigue in him.

But what about now?

He was under too much pressure, especially as the war progressed to this point.

"My 100,000-strong army has begun to withdraw westward." Dai Li said as soon as he opened his mouth: "The situation is not optimistic, and the follow-up work of our military unification has begun to be fully carried out. Shaoyuan, I am not worried about you. While completing your own mission,

Assistance must also be provided to other ministries.”

"I understand, Mr. Dai."

Dai Li sighed softly: "A million-strong army fought fiercely in Shanghai. The soldiers shed blood and were left with bones. Although our army suffered heavy casualties, it delayed the Japanese army and bought enough time to retreat to the southwest. The Japanese army gained Shanghai.

, we will attack Nanjing sooner or later, but now it is better, our foundation is finally saved for the time being.

Shao Yuan, I think the general retreat order will be issued in the near future. We have no control over the affairs of the army. We have to do our own thing. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Special Forces have fought bloody battles so far and suffered heavy casualties. But after the fall of Shanghai, they will have to show more force.

It plays an important role in dispersing guerrillas by relying on people and land. Some people carry out lurking. Regarding this lurking, I would like to hear how your special detachment does it?"

Meng Shaoyuan was immediately embarrassed.

This so-called "special detachment" was just nonsense. Of course he knew that Dai Li would know about it sooner or later, but he didn't expect to know about the existence of the "special detachment" in such a short period of time.

Since he asked, Meng Shaoyuan had nothing to hide: "Mr. Dai, my people, except for those who dispersed the guerrillas, are mainly divided into two parts. One part is active in the public concession, and the other part insists on Japanese control."

lurking in the area.

We are familiar with Shanghai and have many social connections. We can use these connections to show our talents and work as workers, shop assistants, vendors, and elementary school teachers in the Japanese-controlled areas. Also, after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they definitely needed to rebuild the police system and government departments.

We can send people to attack all of these, and when needed, these people can work wonders.

My idea is very simple. The Japanese can occupy Shanghai, but they cannot be allowed to completely control Shanghai. The situation in Shanghai is complicated. They cannot get involved in the public concession. I want the public concession to become our public concession. In the Japanese-controlled area

, I will make them restless for a moment, and I will know everything they do by the next day at the latest!"

"Okay, Meng Shaoyuan! Okay!" Dai Li suddenly raised his voice: "This domineering spirit is what we lack most at the moment. Meng Shaoyuan!"

"arrive!"

"I announce that, except for the deputy chief of the Operations Section, I will remove you from all the positions you hold, establish the Military Command Special Operations Office, and appoint you as the colonel director of the Military Command Special Operations Office, responsible for lurking, assassination and other tasks in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Nothing remains the same. You are only responsible for me!"

"yes!"

Dai Li has given himself the greatest right!

In one sentence, he became a colonel from a colonel. It seems that he is just around the corner to become a major general. Although this official title is not the real one recorded in the files, at least he is still a colonel.

What's more important is that from now on, when Meng Shaoyuan does anything, he no longer has to ask anyone for instructions and reports, no longer has to look at anyone's face, or worry about anyone's thoughts, except Dai Li.

"Also." Dai Li continued: "Now that the Special Operations Office has been established, your special detachment is justified. Just don't use the banner of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers anymore. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers are under the jurisdiction of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers Committee. The Committee

There are a total of fourteen committee members. Although I am the secretary-general, nominally any committee member can issue combat orders to you."

Well, that's true.

In order to use all available forces to fight the war, this Jiangsu-Zhejiang Special Committee included Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin from the Youth Gang as members.

Although they know their own interests and will not interfere with the specific operations of the Rangers, it is legitimate for them to issue orders to you.

Now, Meng Shaoyuan can openly form his own military force, and the number of people in this force is not limited at all.

In other words, as long as it was for the sake of the war of resistance, Meng Shaoyuan could do whatever he wanted.

In the past, the owners of the "Supervision Office" also had their nominal superiors, Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming. Now this last restriction has been lifted.

This arrangement shows Dai Li's infinite trust in Meng Shaoyuan. From another perspective, he can see his strong determination to resist the war.

"Meng Shaoyuan, I believe you." Dai Li's expression became serious: "Today I solemnly tell you that from the time you take up this position, there are no Japanese or traitors in the world that you cannot kill. If you hear that one day

, I, Dai Li, have rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, your bullets can hit my head at any time!"

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan straightened his back: "Meng Shaoyuan swears to you today that the Japanese troops, Japanese special forces, and traitors will be killed! If Meng Shaoyuan retreats from the battle, please kill him!"

"Let's go and do it." Dai Li crossed his fingers and put them on his chest. He was silent for a while and said, "I heard that you had some trouble with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the Public Settlement. What's going on?"

Do you know this too?

Reported by Wu Jingyi?

From the first day he came to Shanghai as director of the Supervision Office, Meng Shaoyuan knew that Wu Jingyi was arranged by Dai Li to protect him.

"It's not Wu Jingyi." Dai Li seemed to read his thoughts: "Wu Jingyi was attracted by you, and now any intelligence reports are very perfunctory. Don't think that you have people everywhere. I also have insiders in the Ministry of Industry Bureau."

ah?

Mr. Dai, you should have said this earlier. If you want to have an insider in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, how much less effort can I expend?

"Mr. Dai, who is your insider? Can you introduce it to me?"

"Don't come here." Dai Li glared: "When did your insiders report to me? Huh? Tell me, what kind of madness did you get when you went to the Ministry of Industry Bureau? If you don't handle this well, it will become an international dispute.

, I won’t be able to protect you then.”

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment: "Xie Jinyuan is still fighting in Sihang Warehouse. Our brothers who were separated are trying to find ways to enter the concession. This is their only way to survive, so I want to help them open this road.

Already."

Dai Li instantly became silent.

After a while, he slowly said: "I understand, but I warn you, don't go too far, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."

After saying that, he smiled coldly again: "Those foreigners have gone too far. My wounded soldiers went through all kinds of hardships to enter the concession, but they were kicked out one by one. It would be better to teach them a lesson."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately became energetic: "Yes, I understand."

"Don't be too careless." Dai Li sneered again: "You, Meng Shaoyuan, were domineering and arrogant in the public concession, and you also used patrols to arrest the Japanese? The Japanese are already very dissatisfied with you. Now they have every advantage in Shanghai, taking advantage of

Well, they are putting pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. Do you know what they are going to do? Demand that the police chief of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau be replaced!"

What?

Meng Shaoyuan almost cried out.

Change the Commissioner of Police?

joke!

How long has Sinclair sat in this position?

How much money did you spend on him?

I haven't even gotten this copy back.

"I don't know what the relationship is between Police Commissioner Sinclair and you. He is always defending you." Dai Li said in a solemn tone: "There was a conflict between Chinese and Japanese spies, and it was the Japanese spies who were arrested. When you, Meng Shaoyuan, were traveling, there were detectives

The chief patrolman protects you, you are very majestic. Why don't I see you arrange a few patrolmen to protect me and stand guard at the door of my office?"

Meng Shaoyuan laughed "hehe" a few times.

"Don't laugh." Dai Li said unhappily: "It's okay now. The Japanese have noticed this and have lodged a protest with the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry through diplomatic channels and conducted secret consultations. Do you want to know the specific content?"

"Think, think." Meng Shaoyuan quickly flattered him: "Mr. Dai, I thought I knew everything in the public concession, but I am still too old to know. I have no grasp of such an important situation."

"Don't do this to me. You have one face in front of others and another behind your back." Dai Li snorted: "Seeing that the war is about to end, Shanghai will fall into the hands of the Japanese. Originally, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau

That group of people always retreated again and again in front of the Japanese. Now in this situation, they will definitely consider the Japanese requests carefully.

The Japanese proposed that Sinclair, the former police chief, be allowed to join the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and serve as the director of the donation department. This is a typical rise and fall. In addition, the Japanese would give him a certain amount of financial compensation every year. As for the

The position of Police Commissioner shall be filled by candidates proposed by the Japanese side.”

This is not okay, this is absolutely not okay.

This is not a joke. What is that doing?

If a Japanese is really appointed as the police chief, all of Meng Shaoyuan's previous efforts will immediately be in vain. More importantly, the military's future operational system in the public concession will be completely destroyed.

"Aren't you fighting with the Ministry of Industry?" Dai Li said slowly: "In this case, let's see if there is any way to prevent this proposal from being implemented."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it carefully: "The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau may agree to my other requests, but the position of Police Commissioner seems to be a must-have for the Japanese, and those in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau cannot withstand the pressure.

However, please rest assured, Mr. Dai, if the worst happens, I will definitely have a way to solve it."

Dai Li nodded slightly: "Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. The war has reached this point, and it seems that the country is about to perish. Our military commander is more unscrupulous. If the sky falls, I will hold it up!"
Chapter completed!
