Two days later, everyone returned to No. 65 Hubei Road, Jinling.
After putting down our luggage and freshening up for a while, we all headed to Hong Gong Temple.
Others went to wait for orders to rest, but Chief Ma was taken directly to the conference room. The conference room was solemn. Director Dai sat in the middle, Section Chief Xu and another leader, the Intelligence Section - Section Chief Tang (Tang Cong) , he is also a part-timer, his job is deputy secretary of the Fuxing Society Headquarters) and they are in place respectively. In fact, the nominal chief of the Operations Section is Director Dai, but he has a lot of things to do every day, and the deputy section chief Xu Yuandao is responsible for the specific affairs.
Behind Director Dai is Secretary Wang Puchen, standing in awe with his hands lowered.
After Ma Xiaoguang finished reporting the situation and stood at attention to salute all the officers, Director Dai picked up a document and solemnly read: "I have an order from the top. This is that intelligence officer Ma Xiaoguang and others from the Secret Service have captured and killed many Japanese spies and escorted them. An important national official who has made meritorious service in safeguarding national secrets is specially awarded the fourth-class Yunhui Medal to Ma Xiaoguang, promoted to the rank of major, and reassigned to the leader of the Special Operations Group of the Operations Section of the Secret Service. The rest of the personnel have been promoted and commended..."
"Major Ma, why don't you thank sir?" Wang Puchen reminded him.
"Thanks to the minister for his cultivation, and to the superior for his trust, he will serve the country with all his heart and mind..." Ma Xiaoguang replied loudly as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He was indeed a little confused. It had only been a few days since he was promoted to captain, and he was now a major. Little did he know that this major was much less valuable than his captain rank. This was a job rank, a special product created by the National Government in a special period to match the job and military rank. .
As for the team leader, he wasn't interested at all. He didn't know what Shangfeng was thinking. Of course, the appointments have been made, so we can only do it reluctantly.
After a few words of encouragement from the three superior officers, it was Director Dai who handed over the work: "Xiao Ma has made many military exploits recently and deserves to be rewarded and promoted. The other brothers in your team will also be rewarded. Our Secret Service will never treat deserving officials poorly. , I asked you to come here today, firstly as a reward, and secondly, about the Japanese espionage incident you mentioned in the telegram the day before yesterday. I have reported it to the Military Commission. The principal has given special instructions to handle it as quickly as possible. Since Jiangcheng Station happens to be in need of manpower, Zhang Chong transferred Jiangcheng Station. You will be in charge of the special operations team..."
After arranging the work and a few words of encouragement from the three superiors, Ma Xiaoguang resigned naturally. Could it be that he still had to wait to have lunch together?
When he returned to the special operations team, he saw Zhang Chong coming up to him, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
"Brother, I am so happy to have made new contributions to the party and the country..." Zhang Chong smiled like a flower and pulled Ma Xiaoguang, making people feel like biological brothers who have been separated for many years.
"You're welcome, Team Leader Zhang. Your trip to Jiangcheng this time is considered a promotion. Everyone in this special operations team knows that this is a life-threatening job and not easy to do..." Ma Xiaoguang said to Zhang Chong.
"Yes, brother, I am finally out of the sea of misery. This position still requires talents like you, brother, to be qualified." Zhang Chong said with emotion.
"In the past, were you still in charge of operations?" Ma Xiaoguang asked.
"Ashamed, ashamed, I have been appointed as the chief of the operations section of Jiangcheng Station." Zhang Chong said with some embarrassment, as if this was something shameful.
"Ah, congratulations to Section Chief Zhang!" Ma Xiaoguang smiled even brighter after hearing this.
"In this way, I will take the liberty of hosting this evening and invite Section Chief Zhang and all the brothers from the action team..." Ma Xiaoguang said.
"This, how can this be so embarrassing..." Zhang Chong still wanted to decline.
"That's it, I'll arrange a place right away." Ma Xiaoguang said cheerfully.
Returning to the third team, everyone had heard the news a long time ago and was naturally very happy. It seemed that following Team Leader Ma would have a bright future. Not only would he kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, he would make a lot of money, and key officials would be promoted quickly. This was not the case for Wang Pu. Secretary Chen has come over and announced orally that the third team will be credited with a collective merit, a certain amount of bonus, and everyone will be promoted to one rank (positional rank) - except the fat man.
Because he had just joined, Fatty was originally an ordinary field service officer, but this time he was truly promoted to a second lieutenant of the National Revolutionary Army (quanxu rank) - a real national army officer.
That night, the brothers of the special operations team bid farewell to the old officer and took over the new job, and congratulated the new officer on his promotion. Naturally, they all left without mentioning it.
The next day, Zhang Chong didn't linger too much. After handing over work, office supplies, and vehicles at Hong Gong Temple, he left Jigo Alley with his two most trusted old subordinates.
Ma Xiaoguang is still sitting in the office where he used to be the deputy team leader. He is not pretending or has other thoughts, he is just lazy. Even moving an office is quite troublesome. He has already ordered Xiao Lu to move Zhang Chong’s office. Just take off the wooden sign and nail it on your door.
He was sitting alone, smoking a cigarette, thinking about it. It was very important for the Japanese spy to plan a big move, and he had to report it. Of course, the source of the news said that based on the victory of this "Operation Scenic Spot", he combined with many crackdowns on the Japanese spy. The intelligence organization analyzed that he did not dare to tell the real source of the intelligence. That would be too risky. The spy might not be caught by then. He would be caught first, not to mention that if he said it, he would betray his friends. Then he would have a son. There won't be anything like that.
Now he is the leader of the entire special operations team, with more than twenty brothers under him. It turns out that the captain of the first team, Chen Shaojun, and the captain of the second team, Tu Bingyan, are also capable. There is no need to move for the time being. We will see if the situation is correct after the inspection after this operation. To make adjustments, the top priority is to integrate the power of the special operations group to deal with the actions of Japanese spies.
After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind and picked up the phone on the table and told Xiao Lu to inform everyone to meet in the conference room to arrange the next step.
At the same time, Shanghai Hunan Tongyuan Yanghang warehouse area.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the president's room. Inoue Hiaki's face was gloomy, and his originally pale face became paler. Standing next to him with hands hanging down were Taniguchi Ryusuke, Yasuda Koichi and several other heads of the intelligence team...
"The opponent's cunning is beyond our imagination..." Ryusuke Taniguchi's defense was a bit pale.
"This is not a reason. You all claim to be the elite of the empire's intelligence community. All the army and navy want from us are results! The question now is what to do next?"
The people under his command were all silent. This operation was indeed a disastrous failure. As losers, they had nothing to say. If it were not for the purpose of leaving a useful body to serve the emperor, as samurai they should have committed seppuku.
Seeing that everyone was a little cold, Inoue Hiaki sighed and said: "Don't stay silent. Facts have proved that our intelligence is accurate! What we need most now is action. A successful action can boost everyone's morale and defeat us. Enemies, tell me what to do?"
After Inoue Hiaki finished speaking, Higuchi Yoshitomo, the head of the intelligence liaison team, said respectfully: "Chairman, this operation failed because, first, we did not know how to predict the enemy, second, the opponent was not an easy person, and third, we each acted on our own. War, without unified command..."
Listening to Higuchi Yoshitomo's words, Taniguchi Ryusuke cursed MMP countless times in his heart. This red deer only knows how to jump up and down all day long and build relationships everywhere. This is the shame of the imperial intelligence personnel. Now he is here to play hindsight... Who? Let the people you sent either die or be captured. If you don't let yourself commit seppuku, it would be a mercy. You should just endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden.
Listening to Higuchi Yoshitomo's words, Inoue Hiaki seemed to have some understanding. After he finished speaking, Inoue Hiaki returned to his former confident tone: "The empire's plan is a century-old plan, and it does not care about short-term success or failure. But, gentlemen, , we must pay attention to our opponents, go down and summarize them, and I will personally arrange the next actions..."
Everyone bowed and replied in unison: "Hai!"
After his men left, Inoue Hizaki glanced at the photos on the table, pondered for a moment, and pressed the bell on the table as if he had made a great determination.
The assistant came in, and Hiaki Inoue ordered: "Send power to the Hongye Group to start the second phase of the "Pan Flame"..."
Summer has gradually entered Jinling, and the plum rain season has slowly begun.
The continuous rain makes people sleepy.
Boss Zhong has been sitting at his desk for a long time. On the table is a thick pile of French currency. This is a reward given to him by the Secret Service. Looking at these usually cute banknotes, he cannot be happy. This time Operation, my own intelligence was generally accurate, and the final facts also proved this. The Secret Service set up an ambush to kill the special team Eguchi Kazuo and his group. That was due to the incompetence of the people in the operation. As for the arrest of "Zashiki", it had nothing to do with him. Regarding the matter, Boss Ma was like a god, and he solved the two puzzles of "Zashiki" one after another... In short, in short, there is no problem with his own intelligence line.
But the problem is that there are no problems. Recently, all the radios have received are routine instructions and messages. There are no tasks or requirements. Could it be that the higher-ups are alert to something and want to give up on themselves? Or is it that it is being adjusted, but I just don’t know what the adjustment strategy is? You know, if a double agent loses his value, the ending will be the same from both sides of the enemy. In one word - death!
So when he saw the bonus on the table, Boss Zhong was not happy at all and had no motivation to take it.
"No more ink stains, keep the bonus." Boss Ma next to him said to him after finishing a cigarette.
"Oh, okay, what should I do next?" Boss Zhong asked with some apprehension.
"You have quite a professional ethics. If all party and state officials collect money to do things like you, our work will be easier..." Boss Ma couldn't help but sigh.
"Continue to contact Chief Wang, Deputy Chief Huang and their gang. It would be best to find a high-end place in the next few days, set up a bureau, and ask about news from the military, party headquarters, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Don't False information, false information cannot deceive people..." Boss Ma said leisurely.
"Don't worry, my people won't go..." Boss Ma calmly comforted him.
"No, it's better to be protected by a superior." Boss Zhong said with a dry smile.
"Don't talk nonsense here. Who wants to do anything while being watched by others? Letting you go alone means trusting you. Am I worse than a devil?" Boss Ma spat, a little angry.
After Boss Zhong finished his work, Boss Ma strolled out from the clock shop. Xiao Lu followed him like a shadow, holding an umbrella for the superior.
"Oh, it's different when you get promoted. No wonder so many people are trying to climb up the ranks!" Team Leader Ma thought to himself.
After getting on the bus, Chief Ma directly ordered Xiao Lu: "Go to Zhangfuyuan. It's time to get things started. We can't be idle in the rainy days..."
