One night in late autumn in 1936, two men were talking in a low voice in Nanjing Central Army Officers' School, which was later called the Whampoa Military Academy.

"Zhiheng, I have been thinking about it for a long time. I still recommend you to go to the Military Intelligence Department, but it depends on your own wishes. You must consider it carefully." The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk asked with a serious face but a very kind tone.

Ning Zhiheng, a young man standing opposite, replied with a respectful face but close face, "Teacher, I heard that the graduation assignment has been decided this time."

"Is your information very well-informed? It has indeed been decided. This class of students must graduate early and all go to the Northwest Front. This is one of the reasons why I gave you the recommended quota." He Feng nodded and admitted Ning Zhiheng's question. After all, this is not a military secret, and students will receive notifications in a few days.

Do you still have to think about it? Go to the front line to meet the Red Party and fight to the death. Besides, I was a real Red Party member in my previous life, so I could not point the gun at my comrades! This completely crossed my bottom line. It is absolutely impossible!

"Zhiheng completely obeyed the teacher's arrangement." Ning Zhiheng stood attentively and replied firmly, "I just fear that my classmates would discuss it, and I thought I was afraid of life and death, so I dared not go to the front line."

He Feng waved his hand gently and said indifferently: "Don't think about that much, you are different from them. Don't even look at it, the Whampoa Military Academy student is a disciple of the emperor, but how many can you remember in the eyes of the principal?

But you are the disciples I, He Feng, valued the most. You cannot be sent to the front line as cannon fodder. This time, Huang Xianzheng, deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, asked for people. This is your opportunity, and you cannot miss it."

Ning Zhiheng knew that Huang Xianzheng and his teacher He Feng were friends and classmates. They were both one of the most powerful factions in the military and one of the backbone of the Baoding clan.

The so-called Baoding Group refers to the officer group that graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School. The Baoding Army Officer School is the first regular army academy in modern China. During this period, students graduated from China and occupy an important position in the modern history of China's military, especially in the Kuomintang army, many senior officials came from this.

This is especially true in Whampoa Military Academy. Half of the instructors are graduates of Baoding Army Officers' School. And their teacher He Feng is one of them.

These Baoding Department instructors will consciously pay attention to some of the better students, and even vigorously cultivate them after graduation to add fresh blood to the Baoding Department to maintain the Baoding Department's influence in the army.

Because these students are also Huangpu students, which is the direct descendant in the eyes of Principal Chang, they have been recognized in both the Huangpu Department and the Baoding Department, and can be said to be a match for everyone. This group of students is also nicknamed Baoding Department in the Huangpu Department.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials. With the care of their seniors in the army, these students naturally had a smooth career and had a great say in the army.

As a disciple He Feng valued, Ning Zhiheng was naturally classified as a member of the Baoding Group.

"This time the Military Intelligence Department has been expanded, so Huang Xianzheng naturally needs trustworthy staff, but the principal has clear instructions and can only choose from the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy. Isn't this just a matter of speaking to us old comrades and classmates," He Feng explained clearly.

The expansion of the Military Intelligence Department is a rare opportunity. As the most important military agent intelligence department, it has always been firmly controlled by Principal Chang and will never allow any other forces to be involved.

This is a privileged department that can only be loyal to the supreme leader, just like the Central Party Investigation Section established many years ago. The difference is that the Party Investigation Section is responsible for intelligence security work other than military departments such as the military, constitutional, and police. It is dedicated to secretly cracking down on all opposition parties, especially the Red Party. In addition, it also bears the responsibility for monitoring public opinion and thoughts.

The Military Intelligence Department is responsible for military, constitutional, police departments and external intelligence security work, especially in the military, which is also a sphere of influence that the Baoding Group has long wanted to intervene.

Being able to insert one's own people in such a critical department will of course be extremely beneficial to the future development of power.

"How is our strength in the Military Intelligence Department?" Ning Zhiheng felt it was necessary to figure out the situation of his future work unit.

"There are still some results over the years. Huang Xianzheng has the highest status and is just one of the few deputy directors. This is also the maximum that the principal can tolerate." He Feng was a little helpless.

In recent years, Principal Chang's strength in the military has become more and more obvious, and many elderly people have also begun to stand aside. In other words, the influence of the Baoding Group is too great, and its power is even more complicated. Many of his capable old subordinates are also from the Baoding Group. Due to the old love, Principal Chang tolerated it.

"The following departments have arranged a few staff members, but they are just like you. They must be Huangpu graduates. This is a prerequisite, otherwise the principal will not agree."

Ning Zhiheng nodded and felt fine. They were wearing the dual identities of Huangpu and Baoding, and safeguarding the interests of the Baoding Group on the premise of loyalty to the leader, which was also recognized by both parties.

To be honest, he felt very lucky that his family background was ordinary, and in the military, he could only gain resource advantages that others could not reach in the army. Otherwise, he would have to go to the front-line battlefield like his classmates.

Therefore, teacher He Feng is the only support and support he can rely on when he comes to this turbulent era. Following the teacher's pace is the wisest choice.

"Can the teacher let Miao Yongyi enter the Military Intelligence Department together? He is my classmate and friend since I was a child. If I can~~."

"No, this opportunity is rare, the quota is limited, and you should know this friend of yours, and he will not accept your affection."

Before Ning Zhiheng finished speaking, He Feng interrupted him. What’s more important is that Miao Yongyi is not from the Baoding Department, and resources must not be wasted on such students.

Ning Zhiheng also knew this very well. Moreover, like most of his classmates, Miao Yongyi yearned for an exciting and generous military career and would never accept the arrangement of being a spy.

But he still tried his best to go to the front line to fight after graduation, which was very dangerous, especially for grassroots officers. He didn't want any accidents in Miao Yongyi.

"Can you arrange a position in the logistics? The front line is really too dangerous, especially fighting against **."

He Feng shook his head and said in embarrassment: "If it was in previous years, it was not a big deal, but this year's situation was different. The principal had just solved the problem of Guangdong and Guangxi, and now he has no worries. It is time to free up his hands to completely solve the problem of **. The Northeast Army and Northwest Army on the front line have also found various excuses to delay the war. The principal is extremely impatient. It seems that they can't count on them. This time, we will increase the strength of the Central Army to eliminate future troubles in a short period of time."

Ning Zhiheng smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think the problem can be solved this time? Although the Red Party has a small number of people, it has strong combat power. Our Party has been pursuing and suppressing for many years, but they are not doing well now."

He complained in his heart, would I tell you that it was absolutely a dream for the Kuomintang to be ambitious to solve the problem of the Red Party in one fell swoop. The Red Party has been reborn from the ashes after surviving the trough of the Long March. In the next ten years, its strength gradually grew, step by step until it finally overturned the rule of the Kuomintang and established a new and powerful new China.

He Feng looked at Ning Zhiheng in surprise: "You are very confident in the Red Party. Now he has only tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of central troops in our party, plus those local troops, nearly one million troops push him over. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape this time!"

However, He Feng felt that it was meaningless to say these things now, and then lowered his voice and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Whether the Red Party can survive this disaster has nothing to do with us. To be honest, no matter the winner or the defeat, it is not what I want to see."

Ning Zhiheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Now such words are absolutely forbidden within the National Party. He Feng was a little confused today.

"Does the teacher also think this civil war is avoided? To be honest, it is entirely because he consumes his national strength. Now that the Japanese are eyeing him, there must be a war between China and Japan. The Chinese should be united in foreign countries, so how can they kill each other!" Ning Zhiheng also saw that the teacher's words were sympathetic to the Red Party, and he also expressed his thoughts. Anyway, there was no taboo between the two teachers and students.

"You can speak softly!" He Feng slapped the table, and at the same time got up and walked to the window a few steps. He first listened carefully to the movement outside, and then gently closed the window, "It's time and time! Now at the forefront, who dares to mention this?"

After a moment, he remembered something and asked, "Have you mentioned these words to others?"

Ning Zhiheng took two steps forward and came to He Feng, and said softly: "Teacher, I only dare to say these words to you, I have never mentioned them to outsiders."

He Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! You must pay attention to your words and deeds. Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Office will find you tomorrow. You know what the consequences will be."

In fact, He Feng didn't have the same idea in his heart. Among the comrades who participated in the Northern Expedition together were members of the Red Party. They were all strong men. He always agreed from the bottom of his heart.

However, since the April 12th Incident, the Kuomintang has severely suppressed pro-red elements, and no one has dared to make such remarks in recent years.

"Do you want to be red-shaped? You don't read any messy books in the future. I didn't see you had this idea before. What's wrong with today?" He Feng scolded.

At the same time, I felt a little strange. My student was taciturn and serious. In terms of temperament, it was very similar to when I was young. This is also one of the reasons why I like this student very much.

Ning Zhiheng felt a little aggrieved, thinking that you were not the first to reveal your remarks close to the Red Party. I just followed your words and only allowed the state officials to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light the lamp!

He quickly said, "I am not a fool, so I naturally know what to say and what not to say. I dare to say nonsense in my daily life. Thinking of the ruling of the free leader in national affairs, we naturally dare not speak nonsense."

"You go back first. If you do this today, you must not say it to outsiders. Even if you are your classmates and friends, you are not afraid that they will betray you. They are all good seedlings. But they are still young and are not cautious enough in their words and deeds. If they reveal it, the consequences will be unimaginable!" He Feng reminded.

He knew that although Ning Zhiheng was introverted and not good at speaking, he was honest and had good popularity among his students. He was also a real and lacked scheming age. His classmates and friends around him had fewer concerns when they talked and communicated.

Ning Zhiheng nodded quickly: "I know how to do it, don't worry, the teacher!" Although his friends have a good relationship, he will never bet on others about his wealth and life.

He Feng was still a little worried that Ning Zhiheng was young and not cautious enough. He whispered again: "You must be careful and be careful. Try to gather with others as little as possible during this period before graduation to avoid dangerous remarks in your words. You are not good at talking and are not good at socializing. No one else will say anything about you."
