Want me to go to Taihu to help you train agents? "
He Ruyi put down the book in his hand: "Meng Shaoyuan, do you know my qualifications? I started doing intelligence work before the Ten-member Group was established. When the Lixing Society was established, they tried their best to invite me to join. I was the first member of the Lixing Society. A group of special agents, and as soon as they enter, they are senior officers.”
"Yes, yes, teacher."
Meng Shaoyuan said "yes" repeatedly.
He Ruyi looked at him: "Meng Shaoyuan, do you know my identity? Dai Li's official military rank is only major general, and my official military rank is major general. Let me tell you, in terms of military rank, Dai Li must salute when he sees me. You A little lieutenant colonel, come to order me? I also told you that even this lieutenant colonel only has a rank approved by the Military Commission!"
This is absolutely true. Throughout his life, Dai Li was only a major general. He was promoted in 1945 and was posthumously promoted to lieutenant general after his death.
However, during the Anti-Japanese War, especially in the year following the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, after he was promoted to deputy director of the Military Statistics Bureau, he often wore military uniforms and the rank of lieutenant general in public, but no one raised any objections.
This is related to the military rank system at that time.
The Kuomintang military rank system is divided into two types: formal military ranks, also called appointed military ranks, and job ranks.
Formal military ranks are appointed by the National Government, and their format is military service plus military rank, such as major general of the army, lieutenant general of the navy, etc.
The position and military rank are appointed by the military committee based on the officer's position. The format is military rank plus position, such as major general, brigade commander, lieutenant general, etc.
The position military rank is only a temporary rank and changes with the change of position.
The rank of lieutenant general that Dai Li wore during the Anti-Japanese War was his official rank. The rank of major general of the Army awarded by the Nationalist Government in 1945 was his official rank.
This situation was very common among Kuomintang generals at that time. When people like Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang, Zhang Lingfu and others served as division commanders, corps commanders or even corps commanders, their official military rank was colonel, which was seriously inconsistent with their actual positions, so they usually wore major general or even The rank of lieutenant general.
This is why during the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Li actually had about ten lieutenant generals and more than thirty major generals under his command.
The same is true for Meng Shaoyuan. His official military rank is Army Captain, and his official military rank is Lieutenant Colonel, Deputy Chief of the Operations Section and Lieutenant Colonel Director of the Shanghai Supervision Office.
If he makes another meritorious service, he will be the colonel and section chief.
With his ability, it is not unusual for him to be promoted to major general within a year.
The problem is, even if he becomes a lieutenant general, it will still be recorded in the official archives of the National Government:
Meng Shaoyuan, Army Captain.
It is precisely for this reason that there is such a strange thing that a certain person serves as a lieutenant colonel's staff officer in a certain department and also serves as the chief of staff of a certain department colonel.
During this special period, the awarding and wearing of military ranks was also very casual and not serious. Not to mention the local warlords' troops, the same is true for the Central Army.
Once, when the Chairman of the Generalissimo gave a speech at the Prime Minister's Memorial Week at the Central Military Academy, he said that compared with the great powers, the national army's combat effectiveness was extremely weak but it had so many generals that the generals could not be counted.
After Zhang Zhizhong heard this, he took off his general's collar badge on the spot and replaced it with a lieutenant general.
The chaos of its military rank management is evident from this.
In 1934, when the Nationalist Government was reorganizing the army, it began to separate the Military Leveling Department formerly under the Ministry of Military Affairs into the Quanxu Office directly under the Military Commission in accordance with the personnel system of the Japanese army, and formulate regulations for the personnel reorganization and promotion of the army.
One of these is to separate official ranks from ranks, and to separate office appointments from official appointments.
Appointment refers to the position of army commander and division commander, and appointment to an official position refers to the military rank of lieutenant general and major general. In other words, job promotion and military rank promotion follow two different paths.
It is said that this is an improvement, an improvement that can truly reflect the meaning of military ranks. However, because it did not take into account the use of basic military ranks, nor did it inherit the method of adding ranks during the Beiyang period, its shortcomings were quickly exposed.
According to this official appointment regulations, promotion of military ranks is strictly limited by "stop years".
The so-called "stop years" refer to the number of years that a certain military rank must be stayed, that is, the minimum number of years of official service.
According to regulations, the suspension years for each level are: 1 and a half years for second lieutenant to lieutenant, 2 years for lieutenant to captain, 4 years for captain to major, 3 years for major to lieutenant colonel, 3 years for lieutenant colonel to colonel, 4 years for colonel to major general, and 4 years for major general to major general. Lieutenant General 3 years, Lieutenant General promotion will be promoted by selection.
Based on this calculation, it would take 17 and a half years at the earliest for a second lieutenant to be promoted to major general.
Suddenly, a contradiction arises. Since we have been in a state of war, the promotion of commanders is not restricted by so many years of suspension. There are people who can be promoted to three levels in a year.
For example, Hu Zongnan, Li Xianzhou, Li Yannian, Huang Jie, Chen Tie, Gui Yongqing, etc. who graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy all assumed the position of army commander in the second year after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time, their military history was less than 14 years old. Year.
You can be a military commander, but you have to move up the military ranks slowly. This separation of appointment and official appointment has caused the strange phenomenon that the promotion of "official" lags far behind the promotion of "job".
Jokes like Captain and Commander of the Independent Brigade have appeared before.
When Meng Shaoyuan joined Lixingshe, he was born in Huangpu and his military rank was Army Captain. According to the year-off process, he was promoted to Army Lieutenant Colonel. Even if it was smooth sailing, it would still take at least 7 years!
However, this kind of job rank also has an advantage. If you are a job lieutenant colonel, then wear the rank of lieutenant colonel. If you have a lower military rank than you, how can you tell whether you are a formal lieutenant colonel or a job lieutenant colonel?
Only those officers who are familiar with the rules will be able to tell at a glance your age.
From this point of view, He Ruyi is both Dai Li's subordinate and Dai Li's commander.
Being scolded by He Ruyi, Meng Shaoyuan bowed his head and could not say a word.
"Shaoyuan." He Ruyi suddenly smiled: "In terms of status and qualifications, you have no right to ask me to do this. However, I am not the kind of unreasonable person. You are my most proud student after all. , and the current war of resistance is like this, it’s hard for you too.”
Hearing that there was still something to do, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became energetic: "Teacher, if you have any conditions, just tell me, I, Meng Shaoyuan, will do it for you. If I can't, I will do it for you even if I try my best to get it done."
"You're such a smart guy." He Ruyi smiled, and his face suddenly turned serious: "I used to be a passionate young man. I have a good friend named Miao Chengfang. That year, we We fell in love with a girl named Yuexing..."
Um? What's going on?
We were all talking about training secret agents, but why did the conversation suddenly change to a love triangle?
Coming from the teacher's mouth, this scene seems a bit strange, right?
Bloody shit.
And this is really a very bloody story.
To put it simply, He Ruyi was deeply in love with Yuexing, but Yuexing liked Miao Chengfang. Then Yuexing married Miao Chengfang, leaving He Ruyi alone and sad.
"Teacher." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but interjected: "Yue Xing will not be happy after marriage, right?"
"How did you know?" He Ruyi was a little surprised.
How do I know?
Ask the people of my time, who didn’t know that this was how it was played in TV series?
This is almost completely overacted.
The plot went exactly according to the picture in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.
Miao Chengfang was a son of a wealthy family. After marrying Yuexing, he quickly went out to flirt with women.
Yuexing was unhappy. While her husband was out looking for another woman, Yuexing made an appointment with He Ruyi to talk to her. The two drank some wine and had sex uncontrollably. Yuexing soon had He Ruyi's flesh and blood in her belly.
The next story was not something Meng Shaoyuan could have guessed.
After Yuexing became pregnant, Miao Chengfang seemed to be a different person and never went out again. Yuexing thought he had changed his mind, but Miao Chengfang looked ugly every day.
After the baby was born, he disappeared the next day.
Just when Yuexing was about to go crazy, Miao Chengfang appeared in front of him and told her the truth.
He is a "celestial eunuch" who has male functions, but cannot give birth to children.
Tianyi does not completely refer to sexual impotence.
For example, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, who had a habit of cutting off his sleeves, was a eunuch, so he fell in love with Dong Xian.
There is also the famous Weng Tong, who also publicly admitted that he was a heavenly eunuch.
All kinds of celestial beings have one thing in common:
Unable to have children!
This is the case with Miao Chengfang.
Therefore, the child disappeared, and Miao Chengfang did not tell anyone where the child was sent. Yuexing also lost her child and was tortured by Miao Chengfang, becoming ill and dying.
After He Ruyi found out, he tried his best to secretly see the scrawny Yuexing while Miao Chengfang was not at home.
"I saw Yuexing die in front of me..." When telling this story, He Ruyi actually acted very calmly: "I swear that I will kill Miao Chengfang with my own hands to avenge my child and Yuexing. .”
Meng Shaoyuan understood immediately after hearing this: "Is Miao Chengfang still alive and well now?"
He Ruyi nodded: "Because before Yuexing died, she definitely betrayed Miao Chengfang and was sorry for her husband, so she asked me to promise not to hurt Miao Chengfang... I swore to her personally. I won’t take any other vows to heart at all, but this is the promise I made to Yuexing!”
Really, it’s so bloody!
Meng Shaoyuan blinked: "Teacher, you promised Yuexing, but I didn't promise anything. I'd like to ask, is Miao Chengfang okay now?"
"Okay, very good." He Ruyi kept sneering: "He is the owner of a record company. He recently established the 'Huayang Film Company' and is currently investing in making a movie."
"I understand, teacher." Meng Shaoyuan said easily: "I will do some things. If that child is still alive, I will also force him to find out his whereabouts. Also, Miao Chengfang will not live for ten days."
"Okay, I didn't ask you to do anything." He Ruyi held up the book again: "When you finish it, I really want to see Taihu Lake."
"Okay, teacher, I'll take my leave now."
Meng Shaoyuan heard an extremely bloody story, and then he continued to do a bloody thing: revenge!
Of course, he would never do such a thing with his own hands.
