Lu Ming did not agree to An Gonggen's request. This operation was different from the kidnapping of Ozawa Seishiro, mainly because his identity had changed.
An Gonggen was not yet serving in the government when he kidnapped Ozawa Seishiro. It was entirely a personal act. Now his every move represents the image of the Republic of China government.
If we continue to do what we did last time, let alone whether we can succeed, even if we can succeed, it will bring down both the Republic of China government and Qiantian, causing a serious diplomatic incident.
Kenta's situation in the Japanese consulate is already very dangerous. If he recklessly participates in the assassination operation and accidentally exposes his feet, he will be convicted of treason, and the consulate will no longer be able to protect him.
Qiantian will be taken back to the country for trial, in which case there will be only death.
Qiantian is Lu Ming's only Japanese friend, a true international friend. Lu Ming would never let Qiantian take such a big risk.
After all, Kenta is neither Chinese nor Korean. He must be respected and oppose Japan's war of aggression in his own way.
"I will think about this matter, and there will definitely be a way. If you plan it first, I will definitely be able to find a way to let your people enter Hongqiao Park." Lu Ming said.
"Young Master Lu has thought it over carefully. Let's formulate a specific action plan first, try to be as thorough and detailed as possible, and then give it to you to make a decision." An Gonggen made up his mind to do this, and Lu Ming did not object, so he felt relieved.
gone.
During this time, Blue Clothes Club also underwent a major reform.
In March, Lanyi Club officially adopted its original name: China Fuxing Society, or Fuxing Society for short, with He Zhonghan as its president.
Kang Ze also received an order, was promoted to major general, and went to Jiangxi to form a special operations brigade to suppress the Communist Party, responsible for dealing with the Communist Party.
However, Kang Ze has not left yet. After all, the handover here in Shanghai cannot be completed in a day or two.
Lu Ming still serves as the financial director of Fuxingshe and the vice president of the Shanghai branch.
Originally, the headquarters proposed that he be the president of the Shanghai branch, but Lu Ming took the initiative to resign and gave up the position of president.
He also knew that because he was the representative of Sheng Youde, Mr. Jiang had to reuse him, but he could not completely trust him. Even if he became the president, he would be sidelined. It would be better not to be the president of this tablet.
.
Originally, both Kang Ze and Lu Ming intended to let the Director of the Fourth Division take over as the president of the Shanghai Branch. However, when the appointment letter from Nanjing came out, it was Weng Bailing, the Director of the Sixth Division, who took over Kang Ze's position.
Lu Ming was surprised by this.
Weng Bailing has always kept a low profile in the Shanghai branch. He is not as willing to stand out as the directors of the Fourth and Fifth Branches. Unexpectedly, he was the winner in the end.
Kang Ze was depressed about this for several days. The Fourth Division Director had the best personal relationship with him. He originally promised this position to the Fourth Division Director, but unexpectedly he broke his promise in the end.
Kang Ze privately sought the opinion of the Fourth Division Chief whether he was willing to work with him in Jiangxi and serve as his deputy, with the military rank rising from lieutenant colonel to colonel.
The four directors are naturally very grateful.
Kang Ze also made arrangements for the head of the fifth division, who was transferred back to the Nanjing headquarters to assume an important position, so that the internal organization of the Shanghai branch could be settled.
The positions of these two division chiefs are taken over by the section chiefs under them. This is the law of officialdom.
Lu Ming was not surprised by Kang Ze's departure.
He had long known that Deng Wenyi, Kang Ze, and even He Zhonghan now would not be able to stay in the society for a long time. They were just taking the lead in establishing the organization, and then they would make other appointments.
After all, they are all soldiers, and they are Mr. Chiang's close confidants. If Mr. Chiang wants to expand the army, these people will have to go everywhere to lead troops, and they cannot stay in the agency for a long time to engage in intelligence work.
What's more, these people are really not intelligence materials. Kang Ze has been the director of the Shanghai branch for almost a year and is almost confused, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
This is not to say that these people are not good at providing intelligence, but relatively speaking, they are more effective when leading troops in war or serving as Mr. Chiang's staff.
Lu Ming was not very interested in the Fuxing Society. He stayed here to provide information for Sheng Youde. In addition, he had been preparing for the secret service school.
Lu Ming was very concerned about this matter. He even wanted to withdraw from the Fuxing Society and devote himself to the secret service school. Unfortunately, that didn't work. Sheng Youde needed him to stay in the Fuxing Society as his eyes and ears.
However, taking advantage of this reform, Lu Ming wanted to increase his weight, so he made a request to the head office to add a vice president.
He Zhonghan agreed to his request and asked him to recommend candidates. The candidate proposed by Lu Ming was Huang Yanning.
The day before the candidate was proposed, he went to Huang Yanning for a drink.
"Chief Huang, do you know what this change means?" Lu Ming asked.
"Isn't it just a name change?" Huang Yanning said with a smile.
"It can't be such a simple thing. Let me tell you, this is another step towards officially becoming a national intelligence agency. First it was the Blue Clothes Society, and now it is the Fuxing Society. It is estimated that in one or two years, it will become a formal national intelligence agency.
." Lu Ming nodded.
"Really, this means our organization has been upgraded, which is great." Huang Yanning was overjoyed.
Everyone in the society is looking forward to the day when it becomes a formal national organization. They are all Huangpu elites. How can they be willing to serve in a non-governmental organization for a long time? Non-staff members mean that it is difficult to get promotion opportunities.
Although the salary of Blue Clothes Club is good and significantly higher than that of the staff, there is a world of difference between a private organization and a formal state organization, even if the organization is headed by the chairman.
"Have you ever thought that in a year or two, many people will be transferred out of the club, and many people will come in, and one day, two factions will be formed in the club, one is the Nanjing Gang, and the other is the Nanjing Gang.
It's the Shanghai Gang. If that day comes, which gang would you like to join?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"It goes without saying that whichever gang Master Lu is in, I belong to that gang." Huang Yanning didn't think about it at all and answered decisively.
In terms of origin, he certainly belongs to the Huangpu Gang, which is also the Nanjing Gang. However, he knows that in Shanghai, no one has an advantage over Lu Ming. Lu Ming represents the big boss Sheng Youde and the power behind it.
Tangled and intricate.
Huang Yanning knew in his heart that Lu Ming had always taken good care of him and was kind to him, and he was naturally a person who knew how to repay his kindness.
"That's good, I hope you will always remember this choice." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Lu Ming made a request to Nanjing the next day for Huang Yanning to serve as vice president of Fuxing Society. He received a phone call confirmation in the afternoon, and the appointment letter was officially issued the next day.
Huang Yanning was stunned when he received the appointment letter. Normally, he would not be able to take the position of vice president.
Although both division chiefs have their places to go, each division has three full-time section chiefs. Among the nine full-time section chiefs, he is not the most outstanding, or he is not the natural candidate.
He was not a fool. He immediately understood Lu Ming's intention of asking him for a drink yesterday, and he also knew that Lu Ming had obtained this appointment letter for him.
"Congratulations, Vice President Huang." Lu Ming was the first to find him and congratulated him.
"Master Lu, I understand. I swear to always be loyal to you and never betray you." Huang Yanning said extremely solemnly.
"To put it seriously, we should all be loyal to the organization and the revolutionary work, not to individuals." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Huang Yanning nodded gratefully. Along the way, he received the protection of Chairman Sheng and Lu Ming. Chairman Sheng's promotion to lieutenant colonel a year ago was part of Chairman Sheng's work in the Ministry of National Defense.
Now, under Lu Ming's recommendation, he has been promoted to deputy director of the Shanghai branch of Fuxing Society. What an honor it is.
At this time, he had one more loyal target in his heart, besides the principal, it was Lu Ming.
For other Huangpu elites, the only object of loyalty is naturally the principal, Mr. Jiang.
When the whole company held a meeting in the afternoon to announce the appointment, the whole company was in an uproar. However, with the precedent of Weng Bailing, the director of the Sixth Division, becoming the president, everyone also has a certain degree of immunity. Although they don't understand what is going on, they know it.
It is the result of a game played by the upper class, and they can only obey orders.
These days, Kang Ze has been idle, so he meets Lu Ming to drink and chat.
"Brother Lu, actually I really don't want to leave. After all the hard work, the Shanghai branch is finally on the right track. Not to mention the credit, it's also a feeling." Kang Ze sighed.
"Brother Kang, oh no, General Kang, you can't think like this, you are promoted." Lu Ming pointed to the star on his shoulder with a smile and said.
"We can't talk about promotion. Soldiers have to obey their bounden duty. Going to Jiangxi is just to build another organization." Kang Ze said depressedly.
