Chapter 497: Exceptional promotion (seeking monthly ticket)
Colonel Katsuda Takashi was completely immersed in this huge surprise and lingered for a long time before leaving this high-end villa.
The next day, he came to Fujiwara Club in person to visit Ning Zhiheng, and the two of them had a great time talking, especially when Katsuda Takashi saw the painting of calligraphy and painting given to Ning Zhiheng by General Junhei Uehara, and his attitude was extremely humble. He repeatedly invited Ning Zhiheng to come on the day of moving, and Ning Zhiheng would definitely agree.
A few days later, in the office of Taro Sagawa, the head of the Special High School Section, Shinya Takeshita, who had just been discharged from the hospital, stood respectfully in front of Taro Sagawa.
Looking at the slightly weak Shinya Takeshita, Taro Sagawa showed an amiable expression. He signaled Shinya Takeshita to sit down and asked in a harmonious voice: "Takeshita, how is your body recovering now?"
Shinya Takeshita quickly replied respectfully: "There is nothing serious now. The doctor said I am still young and have strong resilience. I have agreed to be discharged from the hospital for cultivation. As long as I don't exercise vigorously, there will be no problem!"
Taro Sagawa nodded and continued, "Takeshita, your body has not fully recovered. You must be careful. This time you sacrificed your life to protect Mr. Otani and made great contributions. After our application, Commander Tada specially proposed a reward and promoted you to the captain. I hope you can work harder and not let our expectations down!"
Shinya Takeshita couldn't help but feel happy. Although he had already learned some news from his teacher Akihito, the head of the department, Taro Sagawa officially announced his promotion, so he decided to make up his mind.
"Hiyi, Takeshita thank you for your cultivation. You will do your best to live up to your expectations and Mr. Otani's expectations!" Takeshita Shinya quickly bowed his head and replied respectfully.
This time, the commendation for him was indeed an exception. His military rank was promoted from two levels in a row, from a small lieutenant to a captain. This is unimaginable for ordinary agents. Only agents who have made special and important achievements can be obtained.
The establishment of the Special High School Course was originally only affiliated with the intelligence department of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs, with only positions but no military ranks. However, with the need of Japan to invade China and the Far East, the Japanese government began to gradually change the functions of the Special High School Course.
The military's strength gradually became apparent, and the military headquarters also began to take over the command of the Special High School Course and naturalize it into its own military system. Every time the Japanese army occupied a place, it would set up the Special High School Course, and its members collected valuable information for the Japanese army and cooperated with the Japanese army's operations.
The military rank of the head of the Special High School Section is different according to the scale and level. The Shanghai Special High School Section is the command center of the Special High School Section in various parts of China's East China region, so the rank of the Chief Taro Sagawa is very high, and he is the rank of the Colonel.
The intelligence team leader Yushi Imai has the rank of Nakasara, and his intelligence captains such as Akihito Akihito, have the rank of Major.
Takeshita Shinya initially joined the special high school class. Because the special high school class was a special intelligence department and had special preferential treatment, he was directly given the rank of warrant officer. Later, because he lurked in Pudong and made contributions to the battle behind enemy lines, coupled with the operation of his teacher Akihito, he was quickly promoted to the rank of at least lieutenant after the Battle of Shanghai.
This time, because of his great contribution to the guard Inki Otani, he made a great contribution. After the special care of Inki Otani, he was promoted to captain two levels in a row. In just one year, he was promoted to captain. He was simply like a rocket-like speed, which was really envious.
Even his old rival, Nosuke Iwai, had worked hard in the special high school class for many years, but he had only reached the rank of lieutenant.
Taro Sagawa had also put some effort into the arrangements of Shinya Takeshita. After accepting the instructions of Shinya Otani, he specifically learned about Shinya Takeshita. Only then did he know that this young man was the group of people specially recruited before the war and had never received any special agent training. Especially Shinya Takeshita performed poorly. He usually took advantage of the care of his teacher Akita Akihito, and even didn't even go out for the field. He stayed in the agency and lived a free life. This made Taro Sagawa couldn't help but be angry and laughed. There was such a lazy person in his subordinates!
But he was lucky and was valued by Mr. Otani. Promotion was necessary, but he really could not entrusted with important tasks. In the end, he could only compensate for his military rank, because his ability was too poor and he was not suitable for transfer elsewhere, so he still belonged to his teacher Akihito Akita.
"Takusa, since you have excellent Chinese, I decided to hand over the contact work of the newly formed agent investigation office to you. In the future, their daily work reports will be summarized, and then report directly to the team leader Imai!" Sagawa Taro continued to instruct.
It turned out that for more than a month since Shinya Takeshita was hospitalized, the Shanghai Special Agent Investigation Office, which the Chief Taro Sagawa has been preparing to form, has also been completed.
This investigation and arrest office is mainly responsible for solving various major criminal cases in Shanghai, especially criminal cases involving enemy forces, as well as inspection and control of smuggling materials, monitoring some anti-Japanese people in Shanghai, and other activities.
These were the work of the Special High School Intelligence Team in the past, but the Japanese now occupy the area larger and larger. Central China urgently needed a large number of special agents. However, a large number of special high school agents were transferred in Nanjing, and then there were Anhui and the next Wuhan frontline. In short, the staff of the Special High School in Shanghai are now seriously insufficient, and now the Chinese have to be recruited to help them maintain normal work and operation.
Taro Sagawa had been preparing for this for a long time. The new department has been under construction, recruiting many local youth gang disciples and urban gangsters, as well as some young and strong people who live in poverty. Then he also reorganized the Chinese scattered soldiers and agents who had surrendered before, forming a spy department with a population of about 300.
The chief director of the Detective Office is Wen Hao, the former veteran agent of the Central Party Investigation Office who surrendered to the enemy first. The deputy director is Cui Guangqi, the captain of the intelligence station operation team of the Military Intelligence Investigation Office.
But these two people were surrendered Chinese after all, and the Japanese did not fully trust them. In order to supervise their actions, their management work was handed over to the intelligence team leader Yushi Imai.
However, with the expansion of Japan's occupied areas, more and more special high-level courses have been established in various places. As the team leader in charge of intelligence work, Yushi Imai's work has become increasingly busy, and he is unable to do anything at all.
So a liaison officer was arranged. This position was just to reduce Yushi Imai's workload. He did not need to have rich experience in agents. He was just a simple document summary and report, and even an ordinary employee could do it.
In fact, it is also a position tailored by Taro Sagawa for Shinya Takeshita. Otherwise, a captain would have been idle all day and would not have the qualifications in the future. How could he be promoted? If he didn't promote it, Mr. Otani asked in the future that Shinya Takeshita was still a small lieutenant-level officer, so how would he explain it? If Mr. Otani misunderstood and thought that he had neglected his instructions, it would be too unfair!
"Takusa, the job in this position is not very difficult. If you don't understand anything, you should ask the team leader Imai more for instructions. Of course, you can also ask me directly. I hope you work harder and don't let me down or Mr. Otani down!" Sagawa Taro said solemnly.
"Hi Yi!" Takeshita Shinya replied respectfully.
After quitting the section chief’s office, Shin Takeshita was also very excited. He quickly walked to Akihito’s office and reported the great news to the teacher.
In fact, Akita Akihito had known this good news in advance a few days ago, and now he finally announced the appointment. Akihito Akihito was also very happy. He had always been quite worried about this student. Shinya Takeshita's ability to act poorly and is a Taiwanese. It is almost difficult to develop in the special high school courses. However, the turn of the situation was changed. He did not expect Shinya Takeshita to have such an opportunity. He was promoted in less than a year, and his future development was expected. Of course, he was sincerely happy for him.
The teacher and student talked for a long time. Akihito Akihito Akihito carefully taught Takeshita Shinya and asked him to express his wishes. Because of the promotion of his position, Takeshita Shinya also had his own separate office, which was arranged next to Akihito Akihito's office.
"Teacher, I heard that this guy Iwai has also been promoted?" Takeshita Shin-ya asked Akihito Akihito.
"It was a promotion. After all, the seizure operation was successful and Cui Guangqi was arrested. This was a great achievement." Akihito nodded and said.
"But this time he backfired. Chief Sagawa was very dissatisfied with him almost causing Mr. Inki Otani to be injured, and almost implicated the Special High School. Yesterday, Chief Sagittarius transferred him to the action team as the captain!"
"Have you transferred to the operation team?" Takeshita asked in surprise.
Generally, in the intelligence department, intelligence is the main focus. In the special high school class, Yushi Imai, the position of the intelligence team leader, is only under the head of the section chief Taro Sagawa. His subordinates directly control the intelligence team and the operation team. The intelligence team is responsible for the main responsibilities, but the operation team becomes a role of starting and obeying the command.
Of course, in the China Military Intelligence Investigation Office, it is because of the abnormality of Ning Zhiheng that the Operations Department is above the Intelligence Department, but this is just a special situation.
Iwai Nosuke was transferred to the captain of the operation team. Although his position was improved on the surface, his military rank was not improved. His position was not as good as before in the intelligence team, because he no longer had the opportunity to contact confidential intelligence and participate in the detection of spy cases. He would no longer have the opportunity to make meritorious service in the future. He could only obey the instructions of the intelligence department and completely became a field operation. In fact, it was an open promotion and secret decline, and was excluded from the core management organization of the Special High School Course.
"This guy is also a smug answer. He used to cause trouble for me, but now he has his ears clean!" Takeshita Shinya said gloatingly.
Chapter completed!
