Besides, although Zhou Wen was a little disgusted with those engaged in spy work because of what happened in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Dai Lilong was not an ordinary person. Zhou Wen, who was familiar with history, knew how prominent the man in front of him would become in the top leadership of the Republic of China in the next few years.
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 formed countless guerrillas, special forces, 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. 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 stage, this person's growing power even aroused the fear of the principal. 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 he 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 were chatting and laughing freely, 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. The famous Zhejiang dishes such as West Lake Fish in Vinegar, Dongpo Pork, and Dried Vegetable Pork are quite authentic. Adjutant Wang praised them repeatedly, saying that he had never tasted such authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes 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.
Miaohua, Zhang Xiaoping and Zhao Xiaojin, who were accompanying the mercenary group at the banquet, 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 picture. 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 for a few drinks. Then everyone laughed and talked about eating. No one persuades people to drink.
Because everyone present knew in their hearts that Adjutant Wang must be carrying a certain mission from the principal when he came to Shanghai this time, and he had important matters to discuss with Zhou Wen after the banquet.
Just before it got completely dark, Zhou Wen, after finishing the dinner, took Adjutant Wang upstairs to the study for a secret conversation. Dai Lilong and Mr. Du were drinking tea and chatting in the living room downstairs, accompanied by Miaohua and others.
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 was unable to complete even with the loss of soldiers and generals. .
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. , and by the way, it also crippled the Japanese Special Higher Education Course, which has been overwhelming the Secret Service this 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 current top agents of China and Japan. Maybe these people are not good at spying on intelligence and engaging in conspiracy. But in terms of combat ability and action ability, these people are absolutely crushing existences.
There's no need to talk about sophisticated plans and secret agent tactics, it's just straightforward.
It's like an adult beating a child. If someone is full and stuffed, they will talk about such dirty tricks as hitting a sap, covering a sack, and hitting a brick quickly. The matter will be over with a slap.
This is what is called absolute power. This is what is called one strength defeating ten powers. 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 give it to you.
You know, 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 funded 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 and the agents of the Secret Service investigated two major corruption cases in the military. Not only did they win the praise of the principal, but they also had dozens of confiscated Wan Dayang provided funds for 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 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 when he looks at any of Zhou Wen's subordinates, he is smiling and 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. meaning.
