"I didn't expect that such a person would be so afraid of death that he would even have so many guards at home."
Yoshio Shinozuka was very depressed, and he was still unwilling to give up, "That Gao Hongming will have to go out anyway, so can your special team set up an ambush halfway in advance and behead him?"
"It's hard to say."
Yamamoto Kazuki shook his head: "According to the intelligence we collected, Gao Hongming is now followed by at least one company of guards when he goes in and out, and the vehicles and routes he takes are all temporarily decided. It is very difficult to assassinate him halfway.
If not, the entire special operations team will have to pay for it."
"Can we bribe his servants to poison or assassinate him?"
"I'm afraid this won't work either. For generations of big landowners like Gao Hongming, they are followed by servants who have followed their family for more than ten years or even several generations. They are also commonly known as family-born children. These people have no respect for their masters.
The family is very loyal, and it is very difficult to bribe their servants."
"idiot……"
Yoshio Shinozuka uttered a national curse in frustration. He never expected that such a small Gao family would actually make him feel like a mouse trying to pull a turtle. It seems that the only way to deal with Gao Hongming is through head-on confrontation.
When he thought that he had to lower his face to discuss with this guy Fujino Shigeharu, he felt unhappy...
Gao Hongming looked at this man with doubts in his eyes. Is this the classmate from the German Staff School introduced by Xie Wenqian?
It's not that Gao Hongming likes to judge people by their appearance, but this one looks too unreliable. Even if he looks unremarkable, there is also a scar on his face from his forehead to his chin. It is obvious that he was chopped with a knife at a glance.
Considering the depth of this scar, it's a miracle that he survived.
Well, forget it if there are scars. After all, men don’t have such high requirements for appearance. But why is he still lame a year old? If word spreads, it is said that the dignified eldest son of the Gao family actually hired a lame man to serve as an intelligence officer.
The head of the department, if the news spreads, he won’t be laughed out of his wits?
"Are you Shi Feng?"
"Sir, I am Shi Feng."
"Have you ever studied at a German intelligence school?"
"Yes, I am a student of the 32nd batch of the Berlin Intelligence School. I graduated in 1935. After returning to China, I worked in the military command for several years."
"Oh...have you ever worked in the military command?"
When Gao Hongming heard this, he immediately became interested, "Since I worked in the army, why don't I do it now?"
"One of my superiors molested my wife, and I shot him on the spot. The leg was also lame at that time, and I later quit the military."
"Well...I understand."
Gao Hongming nodded, pondered for a while and asked curiously: "Why are you willing to condescend to come to my small militia to be the director of a small investigation department? A senior talent like you who has drunk foreign ink, even if you are not in the military command,
Once you do it, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a job that can support yourself, right?”
The muscles on Shi Feng's face moved, and the scar also moved, looking particularly scary, "Sir... A young man like you who has never experienced the sufferings of the world does not understand the hardship of ordinary people's lives.
In addition to supporting my parents, I also have a wife and three children at home. To be honest, our family has not eaten meat for more than half a year."
"Oh I see."
Gao Hongming nodded. In this turbulent era, how difficult it is for a man with a disfigured face and a lame leg to support a family of seven.
He was worried and asked himself, if he were himself, he would definitely not be able to compare to him.
"How about this."
Gao Hongming said cheerfully: "Wen Qian told me that you are a very talented person in team intelligence work.
Both when you were studying in Germany and when you were working in the military command, you have shown very good working ability, so I am willing to give you a chance.
Maybe you have also heard that I plan to set up an investigation office in the militia, whose purpose is to carry out espionage and counter-espionage work to ensure our security.
Of course, the initial work will definitely focus on the latter. I have only one request: give you two months to initially set up the framework of the Investigation Office.
If you agree, I will grant you the rank of Major. Of course... this rank is only for our internal use and will not be recognized by the government.
As for the salary... the major's salary is 35 yuan per month. Considering that you have a large family, I can specially grant you 100 kilograms of rice and 30 cans of luncheon meat per month. I will discuss this with the logistics department.
Say hello everywhere.
That’s it for now, do you have any other requirements?”
"Sir, I am very satisfied and have no other requirements!" Shi Feng puffed up his chest and answered in a loud voice.
To be honest, the treatment given by Gao Hongming was beyond his expectation.
The 40-year war of resistance will be more difficult than that of 1937.
According to the standards issued by the Chongqing government, the monthly military salary of a major at this time is 135 yuan. Please note that this is legal tender.
The purchasing power of French currency was still good when it was first issued. Based on the purchasing power in 1937, one hundred French currency could buy two cows. In 1939, it could buy one pig. Now it can only buy one and a half bags of flour.
The 35 yuan offered by Gao Hongming is already considered a high salary. Although it cannot be said that he will make a fortune, it will definitely not be a problem to support a family of seven. Not to mention that Hongming also specially granted him an extra 100 rice and 30 luncheon meats every month.
Canned food is enough to keep his family happy.
"As long as you are satisfied."
Gao Hongming smiled slightly and wrote a note and handed it to him, "You can go to the logistics office to advance one month's salary and materials later. I will also grant you 50,000 yuan as the first phase of activity funds, and allow you to
Recruit no more than a hundred staff. As for weapons, you can submit a report when you return, and I will approve it as appropriate. Do you have any other requirements?"
"Sir, there is no more." Shi Feng replied loudly.
"That's good, you can go down."
"yes!"
When Shi Feng walked to the door, Gao Hongming's long voice came from behind, "Remember... you only have two months, I will see the results after two months!"
Shi Feng's steps paused, and then became firm.
He knew the subtext of Gao Hongming's words. If he couldn't hand over an answer sheet that satisfied Gao Hongming within two months, then he would have no choice but to go back and forth. He didn't care for idlers here.
When Shi Feng walked out of Gao Hongming's office, he looked back and took a deep look, secretly determined to put his best foot forward, not only to set up the investigation office within the stipulated time, but also to put things in order.
Get it done.
No matter what, he doesn't want his family to go back to that precarious life again...
