"Yes! I'll do it now!" After Wan Lilang finished speaking, he quickly left the office without even daring to waste a moment.
There was not much time, Zhang Jinlu and Zhu Huiyin walked in one after another.
"Zhang Jinlu, Acting Director of the Intelligence Division of the Secret Service Headquarters..."
"Zhu Huiyin, leader of the surveillance team of the Intelligence Department..."
"Report to Deputy Director Wang!"
Wang Manchun smiled, raised his hand and said, "You're here? Please sit down!"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Jinlu didn't think much and sat down directly.
However, Zhu Huiyin behind him was still standing where he was, not moving for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Wang Manchun first nodded slightly, and then asked knowingly: "Zhu Huiyin, why don't you sit down?"
"Replying to Deputy Director Wang, you and the Acting Director are both subordinate officers. Where can I, a subordinate, have a seat in front of you two? So you'd better let me stand!"
However, before he finished speaking, Wang Manchun turned to Zhang Jinlu and said, "Did you see it? Colonel Zhang, this is the gap between you and her!"
Zhang Jinlu was dumbfounded after hearing this, "Wang... Deputy Director Wang, what do you mean... by this?"
"Why, isn't it obvious enough? Well, let me put it more plainly. What I mean is that with your current ability, let alone the official director of the Intelligence Department, you may not even be the acting director.
You are capable of the job, so after repeated consideration, I decided to remove you from the position of acting director and let Zhu Huiyin take the position."
"This...but, Deputy Director Wang, I have never made the slightest mistake since I took office! You..."
"You are right. You have made no mistakes, but it does not mean that you are qualified for this job. Well, even if you have made no mistakes, let me ask you, from the day you become the acting director, to
How many sets of enemy codes have the Intelligence Department deciphered in total? How many enemy secret radios have been discovered?"
"Um...Deputy Director Wang, I'm not a codebreaker."
"Then you mean that I, the deputy director of the Secret Service Committee, can't do my job, right? Colonel Zhang, this intelligence work is like the eyes and ears of our secret service headquarters. If we don't do it well, we will become blind and deaf.
, will allow those anti-Japanese elements to take advantage of it, so I can't leave such an important position to you who doesn't seek no merit, but seeks no faults, do you understand?"
Having said that, Zhang Jinlu also knew that no matter how reluctant he was, he could not make Wang Manchun change his mind, so he immediately lowered his head in frustration.
But at this moment, Wang Manchun's voice rang out again, "Colonel Zhang, although I have dismissed you from your post, you don't have to be too disappointed. Because according to my observation, although you are not good at intelligence work, you are
You are quite good at operation and management, so I plan to appoint you as the captain of the Third Action Brigade, specifically responsible for our internal logistics support, how about that?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jinlu, who was still looking frustrated, suddenly became energetic. You must know that this logistics support work sounds very trivial and complicated, but it is indeed a very profitable job. Compared with several other action brigades,
, the risk is also very small, and more importantly, Wang Manchun not only did not kill himself, but also left a lot of leeway.
This is what makes Zhang Jinlu feel most fortunate.
"Don't worry, Deputy Director Wang, my subordinates will do their best and never let down your trust and expectations!"
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang, who had been standing silent all the time, lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and then reminded in a low voice: "Miss, it's almost time."
"Let's go then! Let's go to the small playground together." After saying that, Wang Manchun stood up, led everyone out of the office, and went straight to the small playground in front of the office building.
At this time, in the small playground, spies of all sizes had gathered together, lining up to wait for Wang Man's spring training speech.
After an extremely formulaic opening statement, Wang Manchun went directly to the topic, publicly announcing the punishment decision of Kenji Doihara on Li Shiqun and Wu Shibao at the meeting the night before, and then announced several new personnel changes.
Wan Lilang, captain of the Fourth Operation Brigade, was appointed to temporarily take over the duties of the director of the First Division, mainly responsible for dealing with military commanders;
The Director of the Second Division continues to be Hu Junhe, who is responsible for dealing with the Central Unification, and there is a CP unit attached to it, which is responsible for dealing with the CCP and the New Fourth Army;
The director of the third division is still served by He Tianfeng, the former Loyalty to the National Salvation Army, deputy commander-in-chief of the Songhu Headquarters and commander of the first column, mainly dealing with the Loyalty to the National Salvation Army;
The fourth division is responsible for dealing with concessions, and the director is Panda;
Others include the confidential office responsible for personnel, documents, files, sending and receiving, etc.; the general affairs office responsible for affairs, finance, and accounting; and the newly added inspection room, specialist room, interrogation room, and laboratory.
Basically, the personnel in the department have not changed much.
Only a Telecommunications Department was added to separate the work of sending and receiving radio stations and telegrams, deciphering secret messages, and enemy station reconnaissance from the original departments directly under the Intelligence Department, and promoted his former subordinate Zhu Huiyin to the Telecommunications Department without hesitation.
The position of director.
As for the candidate for the director of the Intelligence Division, Wang Manchun first ruthlessly dismissed Zhang Jinlu from his position as acting director, and instead appointed him as director of the guest house under the Secret Service Headquarters. He reactivated Tang Keming, the former director of the Intelligence Division who had been unemployed for a long time.
He leads the Intelligence Division and is responsible for the collection, editing, and guidance of intelligence.
Immediately afterwards, an even more serious punishment result that was difficult for many people to accept was announced through Wang Manchun: From now on, the No. 76 Action Team will be reduced from the original six action teams to four.
The main force was cut in half, leaving only three guard squads.
Faced with such severe punishment measures, those spies and traitors did not dare to raise any objections even if they felt unhappy. Even Wu Shibao, who was usually arrogant and domineering, could only bite the bullet and accept it in the face of such a result. Others
Not to mention.
After the lecture, Wang Manchun left Wu Shibao alone and took him back to his office.
"Captain Wu, I heard that when you were searching for the real culprit who killed Baron Akagi, you accidentally ran into Zheng Yaoxian who had turned back. Do you still remember the situation at that time?"
"Remember! I received a secret report at that time. Someone found that a house that was usually empty and deserted suddenly had many people living in it. I suspected that it was a secret hiding place for the anti-Japanese elements, so I took
Someone rushed over as soon as possible."
"What's the result?" Wang Manchun asked again.
"Don't tell me, my subordinates really guessed that the house was indeed used by the anti-Japanese elements to hide and avoid searches. But I didn't expect that Zheng Yaoxian was also among them, and he was caught off guard. This
That’s why he ran away.”
"Captain Wu, it's not like I'm thinking in hindsight. Since we have already decided to arrest him, why didn't you send someone to put the nearby streets under martial law in advance?"
"That's what I did! To be honest, Deputy Director Wang, until now I still haven't figured out how that guy managed to escape despite being surrounded by me!"
"Okay, Captain Wu, that man named Zheng is cunning by nature. Even Chief Fujita and Section Chief Nanzo fell into his trap and were tricked by him, let alone you? So, you don't have to be like this.
I mind."
"But……"
"Don't worry! Don't worry, the reason why I asked about this matter is to see if I can find out the man named Zheng. If he can be arrested and brought to justice, then I think whether it is Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi or that Shibayama
Lieutenant General, and even General Doihara will look at us No. 76 with admiration and regain their trust."
"Don't worry, Deputy Director Wang, next time... next time, my subordinates will definitely not let them escape so easily!"
"Very good, this kind of momentum is what I want, please keep it up!"
"yes!"
…
"What do you think?" As soon as Wu Shibao left, Wang Manchun immediately turned to Li Qiang who was standing aside and asked.
"I think it's not a big problem! The way he looked just now didn't look like he was lying."
Hearing this, Wang Manchun nodded with relief, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"We should go to the crime scene again. After all, the more details we have about this kind of thing, the better it will be for us."
"Okay! Then go ahead! Someone will take me back in a while."
"Well, I understand." After saying that, Li Qiang left the office and immediately came to the location of the incident without stopping.
At this time, the outside of the hiding place had been sealed, and several groups of patrolling Japanese military police were clearly nearby.
"It's really strange. How come so many Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere?" After carefully observing the surrounding environment, Li Qiang deliberately came to a fruit stall on the corner of the street and pretended to pick fruits.
, while muttering to himself.
As soon as these words came out, the owner of the fruit stall spoke with a strong Tianjin accent and immediately said: "Hey! Brother, you don't know what's going on, right? You don't know about such a big thing? Let me tell you.
Brother, you should read more newspapers when you have time!"
"To tell you the truth, this old man, I just came back from overseas, and I really don't know what happened."
"You came back from other places? It's no wonder. Then you should know about the martial law in the city some time ago, right?"
"Of course I know. If it hadn't been for martial law, I would have come back a long time ago."
Hearing this, the fruit stall owner looked around, and then lowered his voice and said to Li Qiang: "I'm telling you, brother, there was a gunfight the morning before yesterday!"
"Shootout? Where is it?"
"Right here, a group of people in front and a group of people in the back are fighting fiercely!"
"Really? Brother, how do you know so clearly?"
"Of course it's true. I was preparing to leave the stall and happened to catch up. I saw it with my own eyes!"
"What happened next?"
"Then? Then two of the people in the front ran out and led all the people in the back over there." The fruit stall owner pointed to the alley behind him and said.
"Brother, it's been so many days and I still remember it so clearly. You have a very good memory, right?"
"Hmph!" As soon as these words came out, the fruit stall owner became furious and said bitterly, "Believe it or not, if someone knocks over the stall you just set up for no reason, and then steps on another
Damn it, maybe you will remember it more clearly than me!"
…
It's night, Ming Mansion.
"Disappeared out of thin air? How is that possible?" Minglou couldn't help but said after hearing Li Qiang's preliminary investigation results.
However, Li Qiang shrugged, "I also know it's impossible, but the vendors near the hiding place and Wu Shibao both said so. Although the alley is very deep, it is a dead end, not to mention that one of them is injured."
, but Wu Shibao and his men searched the alley front and back, inside and out. Although they also found several corpses, Zheng Yaoxian was not among them. Instead, it was as if the world had evaporated, and no one was alive.
, dead without a corpse!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xianhua, who had changed his name to Yunlong, took over the conversation and said: "Those corpses should be those of mine who volunteered and were willing to accompany Sixth Brother and the others and use their bodies as bait to lure away Wu Shibao's team members. I really didn't expect it.
…”
After hearing this, Li Qiang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "At least judging from the results, they have successfully completed the task."
However, before he finished speaking, the doorbell rang quickly.
The three of them looked at each other at first, and then Yunlong immediately hid according to the plan made in advance. Li Qiang quickly left the study and sat on the sofa in the living room, reading a magazine as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, a familiar figure hurriedly rushed in, "Aping? Why are you here?"
Li Qiang looked at the senior level student in front of him who was sweating profusely and asked in surprise.
However, what he said next shocked Li Qiang, "Brother A Qiang, that... that... the new Team Leader Han... is actually one of ours!"
Although Li Qiang felt a surge of emotion in his heart after hearing what he said, on the surface he still said to him as calmly as possible: "Let's go back to the room to talk if we have anything to say."
After saying that, he returned to his room with his qualifications.
"Tell me slowly, what's going on?"
"After investigation at the headquarters, it was confirmed that Han Bing, who succeeded Sister Haitang as deputy team leader, is actually a member of the Red Party!"
"Han Bing is a member of the Red Party? Is it true or false? Where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"
"Of course it's from Sister Haitang!"
Although Li Qiang and Haitang had to temporarily break away from the God of Wealth Team because they joined the Suppression Headquarters, there was still a secret line of communication between Haitang and Aping, which Li Qiang knew about.
And the reason why she told A Ping the news was very clear, that is, to use his mouth to inform herself. Could it be that this matter was also related to her?
