Besides, although Zhou Wen was somewhat disgusted with those who engaged in espionage work due to the incident in the Party Affairs Investigation Section, Dai Lilong was not an ordinary person. Zhou Wen, who was familiar with history, knew that the person in front of him would become a powerful figure in the next few years.
What a prominent figure among the top leaders of the Republic of China.
You must know that just ten years later, in the later stages of the Anti-Japanese War, the military command controlled by Dai Lilong had basically controlled the intelligence system of the Republic of China, and established countless guerrillas, Rangers, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and other armed forces behind enemy lines in the Japanese theater.
This military rank is just that of a major general. He seems to be a veteran spy with a low position, but he already has more than 300,000 armed agents and armed forces at his disposal, which is more than the total strength of a group army.
Moreover, a considerable number of people from the military command were lurking in every corner of the military and political affairs of the Republic of China to collect intelligence from all parties. He had no idea how many high-ranking officials and military leaders had handles in his hands. It can be said that he had overwhelming power, including those famous military officials.
The middle boss should also give him three points of courtesy.
In the later stages, this person's growing power even aroused the fear of the principal. In the end, although he was killed in a plane crash, whether there was any unknown conspiracy became an unsolvable mystery.
Therefore, Zhou Wen could not neglect the spy leader too much now. He could only pinch his nose and invite him to attend Adjutant Wang's welcome dinner.
A sophisticated person like Dai Lilong certainly knew what Zhou Wen was worried about, and would not rush to talk to Zhou Wen about cooperation between the two parties during the banquet. Instead, he took advantage of his well-rounded and well-informed strengths.
Zhou Wen, Adjutant Wang and Mr. Du chatted and laughed happily, which made the atmosphere of the banquet lively.
Although the dishes arranged by Zhao Ying personally are not very rare, they specially invited a chef from a famous Zhejiang restaurant in Shanghai to help. There are some dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, vegetable dried meat, etc.
The famous Zhejiang cuisine is quite authentic. Adjutant Wang repeatedly praised the food, saying that he had never tasted such authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine in Nanjing.
Dai Lilong, who is also from Zhejiang Province, has his own level of food. He listed the unique features of these dishes, the taste and innovative methods that are different from traditional dishes.
When he said it, even people like Mr. Du and Su Jixian, who were familiar with the world of food and drink, listened with gusto.
As for Miaohua, Zhang Xiaoping and Zhao Xiaojin who were accompanying the mercenary group at the banquet, they were used to big bowls of rice and big bowls of meat. When they heard that there was so much attention and detail in eating, they were surprised.
It can be considered a fresh idea. It can be said that both the guest and the host are happy.
The dinner was not long, and everyone drank only briefly. As the host, Zhou Wen toasted Adjutant Wang a few drinks, and then toasted Mr. Du. Dai Lilong and Su Jixian drank first, and then everyone laughed and talked about eating.
No one persuades me to drink.
Because everyone here understands that Adjutant Wang must be shouldering a certain mission from the principal when he comes to Shanghai this time, and he has important matters to discuss with Zhou Wen after the banquet.
Just before it got completely dark, Zhou Wen, who had finished the dinner, took Adjutant Wang upstairs to the study for a secret talk. Dai Lilong and Mr. Du, accompanied by Miaohua and others, were drinking tea and chatting in the living room downstairs.
In fact, Dai Lilong came today not only to get close to Zhou Wentao, but also for other purposes.
You know, Zhou Wen and the others attacked the Japanese Naval Hospital a few days ago and snatched back Chen Qiang. It seemed like a raid with almost no careful planning, and they easily solved the task that the Secret Service had racked its brains and could not complete even with the loss of soldiers and generals.
Already.
But for a veteran like him, the shock in his heart could not be greater.
What shocked him was not how professional and precise Zhou Wen's actions were, but how simple they were, as simple as going out for a meal or taking a walk, and then rescuing people from a hospital heavily guarded by the Japanese army.
, incidentally, it also crippled the Japanese Special Higher Education Course, which had been suffocating the Secret Service over the past year.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the current comprehensive combat strength and operational capabilities of this group of people in the teaching corps have far exceeded the top agents of China and Japan. Perhaps in terms of those who spy on intelligence and engage in conspiracy methods, these people
They may not be good at it. But in terms of combat ability and action ability, these people are absolutely crushing.
There's no need to talk about sophisticated plans and secret agent tactics, it's just straightforward.
It's just like an adult beating a child, who is so full and stuffed that he still talks about such dirty tricks as hitting a sap, covering a sack, and hitting a brick quickly, and the whole thing is over with just one slap.
This is what is called absolute power. This is what is called one force over ten. I am not playing tricks with you at all.
Thinking of this, Dai Lilong was shocked and began to feel warm.
If there are any important operational tasks that are difficult for the Secret Service to complete in the future, if Zhou Wen and the others are willing to help, wouldn't it be extremely easy and easy to accomplish?
Don’t you just want money? I’ll just give it to you.
You must know that Dai Lilong's secret service is no longer in the same situation as when it was first established more than two years ago.
At that time, the Secret Service had just been registered under the name of Lixingshe. In the first few months, the funds were all supported by Lixingshe, which amounted to several thousand yuan a month. Even Dai Lilong's own basic salary could not be guaranteed.
However, less than five months after the establishment of the Secret Service, Dai Lilong led the agents of the Secret Service to investigate two major corruption cases in the military. Not only did he win the praise of the principal, but he also had dozens of fines confiscated.
Wan Dayang gave funds to the Secret Service.
In less than five months, the Secret Service went from a poor government agency with only a few thousand dollars to a wealthy businessman with a net worth of hundreds of thousands. It can be said that it became rich overnight.
And now, the Secret Service has handled hundreds of corruption and collaboration cases, and the money confiscated from homes alone is worth tens of millions. What's more, under the guise of investigating cases, Dai Lilong has also begun to get involved in cigarette smuggling, and even more
It's a very profitable business.
The principal, who had no funds to support the Secret Service, could only turn a blind eye and let the Secret Service raise funds on its own. Unknown to him, countless white millionaires were cultivated for the Republic of China overnight.
Therefore, Dai Lilong is really not short of money now.
What he lacks is greater merit and greater power.
The reason why he must follow Adjutant Wang here this time is because he wants to reach a long-term cooperation agreement with Zhou Wen, that is, I will pay, you will contribute, and we will each get what we need.
So now he is smiling when he looks at any of Zhou Wen's subordinates, constantly using words to express his kindness, especially towards Zhou Wen's top master Miao Hua, he seems to be very enthusiastic, and there is a hint of wooing in his words.
