The military camp was Tang Cheng's territory, so Zhang Jianghe was naturally not worried about being monitored here. While secretly relaxing, Zhang Jianghe informed Tang Cheng of some of the information he had learned. After finding out that Zhang Jianghe was just worried that his office was being monitored, Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just suspicion, there would still be room for redemption. "Uncle, it shouldn't be like this! I also killed that Yokomoto Ichiro. The headquarters doesn't talk about awards, at least it shouldn't be aimed at you."

Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe ponder secretly. According to Tang Cheng, these things really shouldn't happen, but during this period of time, he always felt like someone was spying on him. Zhang Jianghe looked puzzled, but Tang Cheng was worried that it might be because of problems with the Chongqing underground party that put Zhang Jianghe into the current trouble. Zhang Jianghe was a person with a special status. Before Tang Cheng left Chongqing, he had learned that Zhang Jianghe had secretly contacted the underground party.

Tang Cheng was very happy for Zhang Jianghe that Zhang Jianghe was able to contact the underground party again. He originally thought that Zhang Jianghe should not be exposed easily based on his experience accumulated in his many years of military career. Now it seems that he was happy too early. It might be true that Zhang Jianghe felt that he was being watched, and the problem probably lies with the underground party. Tang Cheng has never revealed that he knows Zhang Jianghe's other identity, so he will not take the initiative to reveal it at this moment, lest Zhang Jianghe be frightened.

"Uncle, it's actually not a big deal! The war is not going well right now, and the headquarters has made major adjustments. Maybe someone is interested in your current position and wants to make something happen so that they can seize your handle and give it to them. Make way." Tang Cheng said this, just to let Zhang Jianghe relax first, and then thinking about the recent abnormal changes in the Chongqing Police Department, Tang Cheng had already foreseen that a big drama was about to take place.

After all, Zhang Jianghe is not an ordinary person, and naturally he will not easily believe the arguments and excuses that Tang Cheng came up with on the spur of the moment. Although Zhang Jianghe seems to have relaxed on the surface, in fact, Zhang Jianghe's vigilance has not relaxed at all. Although the Chongqing Station seems to be calm during this period, in fact, people's hearts are fluctuating, especially those newly transferred from the headquarters, who have almost formed a group with the deputy station chief who was born in Huangpu.

The Huangpu Clan is a direct lineage of the national government in the national military system. Zhang Jianghe has no interest in factional fighting. Unfortunately, factional fighting will never disappear just because of his preferences. Ever since he felt that someone was spying on him, Zhang Jianghe had been wondering why. Although he was the chief of the Chongqing Station, he had always been in charge of suppressing Japanese spies. Moreover, since the last time he discovered that the tavern was unsafe, he had cut off contact with his superiors. Zhang Jianghe pondered over and over again, wondering whether he had accidentally stepped into the vortex of faction fighting.

If it's just a factional fight, the worst he can do is quit being the webmaster. But if there's a problem with the superiors, the ensuing situation will be difficult to deal with. Tang Cheng's return gave Zhang Jianghe a glimmer of hope, so he called Tang Cheng and asked Tang Cheng to discuss countermeasures. Like Zhang Jianghe, after Tang Cheng thought that the underground party was not the cause, he immediately thought of the factional fighting within the military command. After all, Zhang Jianghe's foundation is not deep. If someone takes a fancy to Zhang Jianghe's position, they will definitely do something secretly.

"Uncle, I brought back some gold from Shanghai this time. You can find someone to melt it into gold bars. Give it away when it's time. Don't be reluctant to spend money." As he spoke, Tang Cheng leaned over and picked up a suitcase from under his desk. , the weight of the box is obviously not light. Tang Cheng's carry-on bag contained 30 kilograms of gold. The box contained two gold bricks weighing 5 kilograms each. Zhang Jianghe opened the suitcase and was immediately surprised by the two gold bricks inside the box.

"Where did you get this thing?" Zhang Jianghe reached out and picked up a gold brick, while weighing the weight of the gold brick, he looked towards Tangcheng. If 10 kilograms of gold were smelted into large yellow croaker gold bars, there would be more than 30 gold bars. If 10 kilograms of gold were smelted into small yellow croaker gold bars, there would be more than 300 gold bars. Zhang Jianghe had never seen so much gold. Tang Cheng just grinned. After Zhang Jianghe put the gold bricks back into the box, Tang Cheng closed the box and pushed the suitcase to Zhang Jianghe's hand.

"Don't ask so many questions! If these dead things are not used, they can only be regarded as waste! Don't you have an acquaintance at the headquarters? Then quickly find someone to help. It's best to inquire about the headquarters. Are there any big changes over there? If your big boss didn't know these things about Chongqing Station, this matter would be easier to handle. Don't forget, you are the webmaster of Chongqing Station!" Tang Cheng said on his face With a smile, he stretched out his hand and made a fist in front of Zhang Jianghe.

Zhang Jianghe was currently in a state of being obsessed with clothes. Only after being reminded by Tang Cheng did he react. "Are you suspecting that the affairs at Chongqing Station have something to do with the bureau?" There are only two people here, Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, naturally has a lot less scruples when talking. If it were another situation, Zhang Jianghe would never speak like this, especially if the words involved the game.

"I'm just doubtful now. After all, your big boss is doing a lot of things!" Tang Cheng took out cigarettes, first handed one to Zhang Jianghe, and then lit one himself. "Originally, Chongqing Station was not taken seriously, and after you were transferred to Chongqing, you made many contributions. But it is different now. The war ahead is unfavorable, and many dignitaries began to move south to Chongqing. Chongqing Station, which was originally not taken seriously, naturally also It’s become a piece of cake.”

"There are many factions within your military command. It is normal for someone to want to take your position. I am worried now that this matter will be related to your big boss. I am afraid that he will use your current position to talk to others. Conditions in exchange for bargaining chips." When Tang Cheng said the words "negotiating conditions in exchange for chips," Zhang Jianghe's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. When he was transferred from Nanjing to Chongqing, it was not just about negotiating conditions!

The bureau chief at the headquarters has always been a man of great skill, but the forces within the government are also complex. Even if the bureau holds great power, sometimes some compromises must be made in order to balance the forces of all parties. When Zhang Jianghe thought about this, Tang Cheng also thought about it. An idea flashed in his mind, and Tang Cheng gave Zhang Jianghe a suggestion. "Uncle, since the current situation is still unclear and various reasons are still in the stage of speculation, we might as well give him a way to retreat in order to advance."

"Don't talk about taking a back seat. Just tell the headquarters that your energy is limited. From now on, you will only be responsible for eradicating Japanese spies in the city and the surrounding districts and counties of Chongqing. All other matters at the Chongqing station will be handed over to the deputy station chief. Take responsibility. If the headquarters doesn’t agree, you might as well propose splitting the Chongqing Station into two divisions. You will be in charge of the second division, specifically responsible for suppressing Japanese and puppet spies, and give up the position of Chongqing Station Chief."

"This is a solution! I just don't know what the headquarters will say!" Tang Cheng's suggestion made Zhang Jianghe faintly moved. Although it was a bit forced, it was still in line with his style of doing things at the headquarters. In the past half month, more than 30 people have been transferred from the headquarters to Chongqing. The Chongqing station can now be regarded as overstaffed. If the Chongqing station is divided into two according to Tang Cheng's suggestion, not only can it solve the problem of overstaffing of the Chongqing station, but it can also specialize in suppressing Japanese spies.

Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to Zhang Jianghe's reaction, was secretly proud. After coming to Chongqing, Tang Cheng knew about Zhang Jianghe's intrigues. The Military Command Headquarters continuously transferred people to the Chongqing Station. This was obviously a trick. Even if Zhang Jianghe could keep his position as Station Commander unchanged, he might just be a passive puppet in the future. If Zhang Jianghe takes the initiative to jump out of the current situation, he can take the initiative. With his own assistance, Zhang Jianghe, who is in charge of suppressing Japanese and puppet spies, may not be able to reach a high position in the future.

"Uncle, I estimate that your military headquarters may also move to Chongqing. No matter who takes the position of Chongqing station chief, he will have to sit on the crater and suffer. Your big boss His temper is not very good." Zhang Jianghe, who was still a little hesitant at first, immediately decided to give up the position of the webmaster as soon as possible after hearing what Tang Cheng said, so as not to cause a bigger problem in the future. of chaos.

Tang Cheng put out his cigarette butt, stretched lazily, and then chuckled at Zhang Jianghe. "Uncle, the military command is a department that specializes in dealing with Japanese and puppet spies. Catching Japanese and puppet spies is not my strong point. Don't underestimate the title of being responsible for catching Japanese and puppet spies. Believe it or not, as long as the military command headquarters agrees with you With your suggestion, I can guarantee that all the cells in Chongqing Station will be filled with captured Japanese and puppet spies in the shortest possible time."

Tang Cheng dared to make this guarantee, more to give Zhang Jianghe a reassurance. After all, if this trick of retreating is not used properly, it will become a passive situation. Tang Cheng said this just now because he wanted Zhang Jianghe to know that as long as Zhang Jianghe was still working in the military command, he would be able to let Zhang Jianghe continue to climb up the ranks. At this time, Zhang Jianghe no longer thought about anything else. After discussing with Tang Cheng, he immediately sent his suggestions to the military command headquarters.

Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe originally thought that the military command headquarters would give instructions soon, but after three days, there was still no response from the military command headquarters, and Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Tang Cheng was not in a hurry about this. He had been away from Chongqing for half a month and had been running between the labor camp and the military camp for the past three days. He planned to use the chips on hand to help Zhang Jianghe put on a good show.
