"Not bad, not bad. He looks very energetic. He must have been well prepared!" Boss Dai said with a smile.
When Lin Mo heard this, he quickly stood back in the team, straightened his back, and replied: "It is an honor for us to be personally received by the principal, but we are also members of the Intelligence Department, and our words and deeds represent the relationship between the Intelligence Department and
Boss, we can’t disgrace the boss and the department.”
Lin Mo finished speaking seriously, which made Lin Wenhua and others a little nervous. They unconsciously glanced at their clothes, always worried that something went wrong. Fortunately, not long after, someone came out and led them in.
That's right, our Principal Jiang wants to meet the four of them in person. When Boss Dai came to report the situation before, Lao Jiang had said that he wanted to meet Lin Mo and Yang Haicheng in person.
However, Boss Dai did not convey it to Lin Mo and the two of them. After all, he just said it, and he hasn’t even written the horoscope yet! This may be just a casual comment, and he may forget it by then, or he may not have time.
Unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek actually kept his word. In addition to sending awards yesterday, he also conveyed the news of a personal interview. Not only Lin Mo, but also Lin Wenhua and Liu Zhenshan.
It's not surprising to meet two more people. After all, Lin Mo and Yang Haicheng have already joined the Intelligence Department, and other people in the Intelligence Department have also contributed. If you want to win people's hearts, you must not favor one over the other.
Furthermore, Liu Zhenshan was also born in Huangpu, and Lin Wenhua once served as his bodyguard, and they were all direct descendants of his confidants. What's more, they took some time to take a look and say a few words of encouragement. It didn't make much difference whether they met two or four people.
About an hour later, Lin Mo and the other two followed Boss Dai out. Of course, it was impossible to meet several people for an hour. Most of the time was spent waiting, and the interview lasted less than ten minutes.
However, Lin Mo's memory was correct. Lao Jiang really cared about the appearance of his men. They carefully arranged them, and walked, sat and lay according to Lin Mo's gentle reminder while waiting.
Showing his true qualities as a man attracted some compliments from Lao Jiang, and Boss Dai also got a good word about his ability to control his subordinates, which can be regarded as earning a lot of face.
When he came out again, Lin Mo put on his collar, and there were already some things on his chest and hands. On his collar was the captain's military rank badge, on his chest was the seventh-class Baoding Medal attached list, and in his hand was the Zhongzheng Sword awarded by Chiang Kai-shek himself.
Lin Mo worked with his classmates in the military academy to crack down on the Japanese espionage conspiracy, and was awarded the title of outstanding graduate of the ninth batch of the Central Army Officers' Academy. Lin Mo was awarded the rank of captain as a token of commendation and encouragement.
This military rank was supposed to be awarded at graduation, but the two were unable to attend the graduation ceremony, so it was postponed and awarded together with the awards from the intelligence department.
Yang Haicheng was awarded the rank of lieutenant. Both of them were exceptionally well-matched. After all, only the credit for the first espionage incident was taken into account, plus the status of students and outstanding graduates, and the award was made at the second and third levels. Normally, this credit would be promoted to one.
The level is very good.
As for Lin Wenhua and Liu Zhenshan, they were promoted from captain to major based on their merit. Both of them have all the qualifications. They have been suppressed for a long time and have always lacked enough merit. This time, they have enough merit and can be regarded as a legitimate and normal promotion.
Baoding Medal, after the Nanjing National Government reorganized the chaotic medal system of the Republic of China, the main medals currently awarded by the national government are the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal and the Baoding Medal.
There is no need to think about the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun. The control is still very strict, and only about two hundred medals have been awarded in total. It is not a lieutenant-level officer, nor is it worthy of Lin Mo's little merit.
The Medal of Baoding has a tripod in the center and rays of light around it. It was issued in May 1929 and is divided into grades one to nine. The first, second and third grades have large ribbons, the fourth and fifth grade collar ribbons, and the sixth and seventh grade lapels and ribbons with honors. Table, 8th and 9th class lapels. Awarded to soldiers who have made military exploits in defending foreign aggression or suppressing civil strife, as well as non-soldiers or foreigners who have made meritorious service in war.
Among them, the big ribbon is the collar ribbon and the lapel ribbon. The big ribbon is like a red ribbon with a medal pinned on a ribbon from the shoulder to the waist. The collar ribbon is worn around the neck. The lapel ribbon, as the name suggests, is pinned to the chest.
As for the medal list, it is also called a medal, a medal, etc. It is a badge used by soldiers and police to represent medals, medals and other awards. It is a rectangular slab of uniform specifications. Its style is usually the same as the medal it represents. The ribbons are consistent, and different rewards are distinguished by stripes, colors (and sometimes some accessories).
The Baoding Medal is divided into nine levels. The first to fourth levels can be awarded to generals, the third to sixth levels can be awarded to school-level officers, the fourth to seventh levels can be awarded to captain-level officers, and the sixth to ninth levels can be awarded to soldiers.
What Lin Mo was awarded was the seventh-class Baoding Medal and the corresponding medal list. It was a reward for his merits in other projects except for the first spy. After all, it was just awarded now and it would not be appropriate to promote him again.
In addition, although most of the credit for the subsequent projects has been distributed, Lin Mo will definitely keep some for each project. The ones recorded on him in the above table, after all, need these to prove that he participated in these projects. He doesn't have much credit left, but those are also important qualifications.
Lin Mo can be said to be well-deserved for the seventh-level Baoding Medal based on actual merit, but if only based on the merit listed above, it is considered an exception. For example, Yang Haicheng only reached the lowest ninth level.
After all, Lin Mo has not been officially awarded the title before, so he is still an ordinary soldier. The seventh rank can already be awarded to lieutenant. He is also the second-ranked among ordinary soldiers. Nowadays, the issuance of medals is more strictly controlled. From these Judging from it, I have to say that Chiang Kai-shek still loves Lin Mo very much.
Zhongzheng sword, in a broad sense, refers to the dagger commonly worn by the National Revolutionary Army in the 1930s, including the standard plum blossom dagger - this kind of dagger has two plum blossoms and the Kuomintang emblem painted on the handle. The top and bottom of the scabbard are also decorated with plum blossoms, hence the name plum blossom dagger, which also includes daggers given to subordinates by local warlords such as Yan Xishan, Liu Xiang, Ma Bufang and others.
In the narrow sense, the Zhongzheng Sword specifically refers to the standard sword presented by President Chiang to the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy, so the Zhongzheng Sword in the narrow sense is also called the "Sword of the Whampoa Soldiers."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One point to note, the Zhongzheng Sword first appeared in 1934, the tenth year of the founding of Huangpu School, so it was impossible to have the Zhongzheng Sword during the Huangpu Army period and the Northern Expedition.
The predecessor of the Zhongzheng Sword was the dagger engraved with the words "Soldier Soul" that was awarded to all trainees by Principal Jiang when the first phase of the Lushan Officer Training Corps graduated in 1933.
In June 1934, when the Whampoa Military Academy was celebrating its 10th anniversary, the School Anniversary Preparatory Committee, in order to express to Principal Chiang the loyalty of all the students in the ninth class of the Whampoa Military Academy to "fail or succeed", put forward the suggestion of awarding swords upon graduation.
With the approval of Principal Jiang, at the graduation ceremony, every graduate of the ninth batch of Huangpu Military Academy, that is, Lin Mo and his group, received a stick engraved with "The Tenth Anniversary of the Founding of the Central Army Military Academy"
of sword.
This was the first time for Whampoa Military Academy graduates to be awarded swords. Since then, all graduates of Whampoa Military Academy have been awarded swords. In the "Army Uniform Regulations" promulgated in January 1936, the style of the Zhongzheng sword was detailed.
Regulation.
The Zhongzheng swords in the hands of Lin Mo and Yang Haicheng were not only engraved with the words "The 10th Anniversary of the Founding of the Central Army Officers School" on one side, but Principal Jiang was also original and had a message of expectations for the two of them engraved on the other side and presented it to them personally.
Everyone gave a few words of encouragement.
Although the sword itself is definitely useless, as long as we still live in the sphere of influence of old Chiang Kai-shek, we can take out this sword and recall today's "honor" and miss Chairman Chiang's "expected love".
", guaranteed to scare a large number of people.
In addition, Lin Wenhua and Liu Zhenshan also got two gifts. They were also matching swords, but they were slightly different from Lin Mo's and Zhongzheng swords. The main reason was that the scabbard and hilt styles were different, and Principal Jiang was also engraved on them.
The gift word.
However, Lin Mo always felt something was wrong with these two swords. There seemed to be no such things in his previous life in his memory. Lin Mo had a guess. Could it be because he and Yang Haicheng wanted to present swords to him and Yang Haicheng, and in order not to favor one over the other, they just temporarily
For his brother and Liu Zhenshan?
Lin Mo's guess is quite possible, because apart from the scabbard and hilt, the two swords cannot be said to be exactly the same except for the engraving on the sword body. There is no difference at all. It is very much like temporarily replacing the scabbard and hilt of the Zhongzheng sword.
Engraved with other words.
After Boss Dai and Lin Wenhua got in the car, the three of them also walked out together. This time there was no inspection, and the sergeant guarding the card looked at the items on the collar, chest, and hands of the three of them, all casting envious glances.
, causing the three of them to subconsciously puff up their chests and look like serious people.
Several people passed the last checkpoint, and Lao Yu also drove the car in front of them. Liu Zhenshan got into the passenger seat. Lin Mo and Yang Haicheng sat in the back seat. Lin Mo opened the door first and got in. He didn't want Yang Haicheng to be confused and have to follow.
Lin Mo walked through the door on the same side of the car, and wanted to cross Lin Mo and sit on the other side, which was so crowded for a while.
"Lao Yu, don't go back yet. Follow the team leader and the boss's car. Just stay far away and be in sight. They drove the car directly into the official residence. They probably didn't bring any weapons. It seems that the situation is not very peaceful recently. Let's escort them.
Procedure."
"Okay..." Lao Yu responded, then turned the car around and accelerated. He didn't slow down until he saw the car and followed it from a distance.
"What's wrong?" In the car in front, Boss Dai asked after seeing Lin Wenhua lift the rear curtain of the car and look at it for a while.
"It's okay, it's just that things have been a bit rough recently. The Japanese seem to be making some moves again. I just saw a car following behind me. Please be careful."
"Is there a car following you?" Boss Dai frowned slightly, thinking about what went wrong.
Hearing this, Lin Wenhua explained: "It's Zhenshan's car. They probably saw us driving directly into the old man's mansion. They guessed that there were no weapons prepared in the car. We don't worry about us going back alone and following behind to suppress the battle!"
"Well..." Although Boss Dai only responded indifferently, the curve of the corner of his mouth and the faint smile on his face all showed satisfaction.
In the car behind, several people had already started to quarrel. The origin of the incident was when Yang Haicheng squeezed Lin Mo and his arm accidentally rubbed Lin Mo's face. After sitting down, Yang Haicheng found a piece of "ash?" on his arm and clothes.
After a thorough investigation by Yang Haicheng (actually he saw some stains on Lin Mo's face when he was wiping dust), he discovered the fact that Lin Mo was secretly applying makeup, and they all criticized him.
"...That's so unkind. I'm telling you why the principal said so many words to you. You kid is going behind our backs and secretly stands out from the crowd..."
"That's right..." Liu Zhenshan joked in front of him, and Yang Haicheng followed suit, vowing to make Lin Mo "good-looking."
"Alas...Brother Liu...you are not being kind. I can understand Haicheng blaming me. After all, I warned you before anything happened, but I did remind you. Have you forgotten what you said at that time?"
"Don't think I don't know you are trying to sow discord! You reminded me, but you didn't mention the makeup. Haicheng, we can't be fooled by him..."
"That's right...I won't fall for your tricks..."
"You have to speak with your conscience..."
"Tch...do you have a conscience..."
Several people were bickering in the car, but of course it was just a bickering. The three of them kept looking outside the car, especially Lin Mo and Liu Zhenshan, who did not dare to take it lightly.
Fortunately, no accident occurred. I followed the car from a distance and escorted the boss and team leader to the headquarters safely. Then the car drove back and sent Yang Haicheng back first before driving back to the yard.
After dealing with the brothers who came to congratulate them for a while, the two of them went back to the room and changed into formal clothes. Lin Mo wore a dark gray suit, while Liu Zhenshan wore a black tunic suit and a black coat.
After changing clothes, it was almost time. The two of them took the remaining people in the courtyard and set off to the training ground. Of course, not everyone could leave, but a few team members were arranged to stay behind. If there was any situation, they could immediately report to the training ground and headquarters.
or seek support from surrounding military and police units.
A few people went to the dock and waited for a while before they got the commuter boat. They also waited until the boss and Lin Wenhua and his party arrived. Several people helped move the awards, appointments, etc. to the boat, and headed to the training ground together.
…
The training ground, a spacious factory building, has been cleaned up under the leadership of Xu Guyu, and seats and a podium have been arranged. However, the conditions are limited. The podium is just a few tables and pavilions placed on the corridor in the factory building.
The army green cloth is on top, and the benches and benches placed in the factory building below are where everyone sits.
When Lin Mo and his party arrived, other team members who had been waiting outside the factory began to enter. Except for the old players in the second group and the special team, there were also some new faces.
These people are the new team members who have been added to the department in the past two days and some of the additional personnel needed to set up an independent office. They were sent directly to the training ground to receive some training. After all, the second group has undergone training and construction in the recent period.
, there is already a certain gap between the new team members and the old team members, and they need to make up for these gaps so that they can better integrate with the old team members.
As for the conditions of this place, the veteran team members seemed to be indifferent. After all, they have been exposed to bullets and life and death so many times? Who cares about this little thing?
However, there are a few newly appointed officers who have been assigned here in the past few days. I don’t know whether they were dragged here for training as soon as they came over. They feel that they have been wronged and feel unhappy, or they are really dissatisfied with the environment. Anyway, some of them look like
