My years of espionage

Chapter 528 Bold Assumptions
Wuhan.

"Everyone is full of spring breeze, it seems that there is good news." Yu Pingan came in with a kraft paper bag and said with a smile.

"What smell?" Dai Chunfeng sniffed his nose.

"Braised duck neck, spicy and strong, quite good, specially brought some back for Virgo to taste."

"I can't eat this." Dai Chunfeng smiled and shook his head, "I don't have a Hunan stomach."

Yu Pingan laughed loudly, and said regretfully, "Then I will eat slowly by myself."

Dai Chunfeng handed a telegram to Yu Pingan, "Let's have a look, Zheng Weilong is calling during the day."

Yu Pingan took it with both hands, read it carefully, and praised, "What a Zheng Weilong, what a Ruan Zhiyuan! Well done!"

After putting down the telegram, his eyes were filled with joy, and he continued, "Virgin, the stationmaster Zheng is able to command well, and Ruan Zhiyuan personally led the death squad, went deep into the tiger's den, and successfully killed Yang Fuyuan."

"Especially Ruan Zhiyuan, a man of high art and courage, retreated completely, which amazed me. This can be said to be both civil and military."

"The blood and bravery of his subordinates who sacrificed their comrades is even more eloquent. This is enough to demonstrate the determination of our Secret Service to serve the party and the country without fear of sacrifice."

"Subordinates consider it a great reward!"

"I reported this matter to the commissioner, and the commissioner was also very pleased, and personally ordered to reward the Shanghai station." Dai Chunfeng's face was full of joy,
……

"Let's take a look at this commendation order," Dai Chunfeng said.

"Yes!"

Yu Pingan looked at it with his eyes, but secretly analyzed and calculated in his heart.

In the commendation order, first of all, Zheng Weilong, the stationmaster of Shanghai station, was commended and rewarded. Zheng Weilong is the stationmaster of Shanghai station, which is what it should be.

Afterwards, the focus was on rewarding Ruan Zhiyuan, whose words of approval and level of rewards were even beyond specifications, the most important of which was the awarding of the sixth-class Baoding Medal to Ruan Zhiyuan.

According to the "Regulations of the Army, Navy and Air Force Awards" of the Nationalist Government, all soldiers of the army, navy and air force can be awarded the Baoding Medal for their merits in building the country or "defending foreign aggression and suppressing internal strife".

Ruan Zhiyuan has the rank of major, and as a rule, the school officer can award the third to sixth-class Baoding Medal.

This time, Ruan Zhiyuan was awarded the sixth-class Baoding Medal, which seemed to be a very light reward, but it was not.

At present, the national government is extremely strict in rewarding the Yunhui Medal and Baoding Medal, and those who have made great achievements cannot get them.

Ruan Zhiyuan was awarded the sixth-class Baoding Medal only after leading the team to complete a sanction mission, which is definitely a high-standard award.

According to this awarding standard, Cheng Qianfan would have at least a few more medals.

……

But, why is Ruan Zhiyuan rewarded with high standards?
Yu Ping secretly speculated that it was most likely that Dai Chunfeng slightly reduced his praise to Zheng Weilong when he was reporting to the committee, or even simply praised Zheng Weilong in Chunqiu's style of writing.

It focuses on reporting Ruan Zhiyuan's "witty and courageous", heroic and resourceful actions.

Ruan Zhiyuan is not a secret agent, this person is from a civilian background, a civilian official who is not afraid of death, has the party-state in his heart, and takes the risk to go into battle, he can be called a model of the party-state.

In this way, the commissioner naturally had a good impression of Ruan Zhiyuan, and when he was in a good mood, he got a sixth-class Baoding Medal.

The commendation order also mentioned several agents who died in the country, and ordered more compensation.

……

"It's very fair, the brave are rewarded, and the martyrs are sympathetic, everyone has a heart." Yu Pingan said in admiration.

Dai Chunfeng laughed heartily when he heard this.

Cheng Qianfan killed Zou Fengqi, and even organized the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team to attack the Japanese army's horse farm, and achieved the "Victory of Huade Road".

Zheng Weilong's Shanghai station finally successfully completed the task and successfully sanctioned the traitor Yang Fuyuan who jumped up and down.

This can be said to be good news. Recently, Dai Chunfeng also has a lot of face in front of the principal, and he has received some praise.

In addition, just as Yu Ping'an expected, although this commendation order came from the approval of the old man, the root of it lies in Dai Chunfeng's choice when reporting the victory:

He did not follow the routine unspoken rules to give most of the credit to Zheng Weilong, the chief official of the Shanghai station, but focused on praising Ruan Zhiyuan.

Of course, Ruan Zhiyuan's performance in this operation can be called "amazing", and Dai Chunfeng belongs to "tell the truth".

The reason for this is directly related to Dai Chunfeng's attitude towards Zheng Weilong.

Zheng Weilong is one of the ten-member regiment of the Lixing Society's Secret Service, and is a veteran-level prince.

Dai Chunfeng attaches great importance to Zheng Weilong, who is capable, and everyone in the Secret Service knows that Zheng Weilong is a celebrity in front of everyone.

However, celebrities are not absolute cronies.

When dealing with Zheng Weilong, Dai Chunfeng still maintains a high degree of vigilance while admiring and reusing him. He must use him and prevent Zheng Weilong from rising too fast.

Although Ruan Zhiyuan was Zheng Weilong's assistant and seemed to be Zheng Weilong's confidant, Dai Chunfeng knew that Ruan Zhiyuan himself was not absolutely loyal to Zheng Weilong.

A year and a half ago, Zheng Weilong hit Ruan Zhiyuan hard to help Ruan Zhiyuan conceal the fact that he was seduced by the Japanese female agent Keiko and that the two had committed adultery.

The two felt that this matter was done seamlessly, but Dai Chunfeng knew everything about it long ago, even Ruan Zhiyuan's private resentment towards Zheng Weilong's plundering of his floating wealth, Dai Chunfeng also knew it.

So, on the surface, Ruan Zhiyuan is Zheng Weilong's absolute confidant. Dai Chunfeng personally spoke well for Ruan Zhiyuan in front of the committee, and tried his best to win him an award beyond the standard. Zheng Weilong also needs to thank Dai Chunfeng.

Even if the top and bottom of the Secret Service learned about this, they would also like to praise the division chief for Shanghai Station Master Zheng, who is really different, and it can be said that he loves the house and hates it.

In addition, this is also a role model, and everyone in the Secret Service will sigh and be excited. As long as you make achievements, Virgo will naturally reward you.

In fact, Dai Chunfeng can secretly pull Ruan Zhiyuan over and secretly weaken Zheng Weilong's power in the Secret Service.

This can be said to kill many birds with one stone.

Dai Chunfeng pressed the bell.

"Virgin seat!" Mao Shun came in, glanced at Yu Pingan, and said respectfully to Dai Chunfeng.

"Send this commendation order to Shanghai Cheng Xuyuan." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Encrypt!"

As for the Shanghai station, it was not Zheng Weilong, the director of the Shanghai station, but Cheng Xuyuan, the secretary of the Shanghai station, who controlled the radio station.

"Yes!" Mao Shun took the commendation order, put it in the wooden file folder, and turned to leave.

……

Xiu Gongshen's home.

After dinner, He Xuelin took Bai Ruolan to play mahjong at the house of a foreign company wife who lived with her on Ma Sinan Road.

Xiaobao also joined in the fun.

Xiu Gongshen and Cheng Qianfan were chatting in the study.

While chatting, Cheng Qianfan brought up the topic of Taihu water bandits.

The Japanese will gradually increase their control over the water bandits in Taihu Lake, either recruiting them or exterminating them.

Cheng Qianfan also realized that the uncontrollable forces of the Taihu water bandits actually have a lot to do.

However, although he has some understanding of this, it is not deep and comprehensive enough.

As for Xiu Gongshen, who has been in the patrol room for many years, he has deep connections, and as a translator of the Political Department, he also dabbles in many secret matters, so he is an excellent target for inquiries.

Furthermore, Miyazaki Kentaro tried his best to inquire about relevant information in order to complete the task assigned by the head of the three books. This is a serious job and very reasonable.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan was inquiring as Miyazaki Kentaro.

……

"Water banditry in Taihu Lake has a long history, and the national government has suppressed it many times. However, a series of actions to suppress bandits have not curbed the ferocious arrogance of water bandits."

"In the 18th year of the Republic of China, water bandits robbed military and police guns in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and then looted more than [-] yuan in banknotes from the Jiaxing branch of the Bank of China," Xiu said.

"It is precisely because of this appalling incident that the government decided to use the army to start eradicating the water bandits in Taihu Lake?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

Xiu Gongshen nodded.

It is precisely because of the ineffectiveness of the water police in suppressing the Taihu water bandits, in order to carry out a more effective encirclement and suppression of the Taihu water bandits, the government decided to entrust the army with the task of eliminating the Taihu water bandits.

In the early spring of the 19th year of the Republic of China, the [-]th Brigade and other troops under the Fifth Division of the National Army under Xiong Tianyi were ordered to go to Taihu Lake to suppress bandits.

"In this large-scale bandit suppression operation, a total of one Zhang Zhaohua, the leader of the Haizhou gang, one Tian Yuzi, the leader of the Henan gang, and more than 130 small bandit leaders and loose bandits were captured; one self-appointed head of the bandit and one battalion commander were killed, and four loose bandits were killed. More than a hundred people; intercepted 25 bandit ships, more than [-] men and women.

"The commander of this operation is Hu Jing'an, commander of the [-]th Brigade."

"But General Hu Jing'an?" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed.

"It's this person." Xiu Gongshen said.

"It's a pity! Admiral Hu is a minister who has made great contributions to suppressing the bandits!" Cheng Qianfan sighed.

After Hu Jing'an suppressed the bandits in Taihu Lake, he continued to be promoted, and he made great contributions to the commander of the Fifth Division of the National Army. It was a pity that he died in the 20th year of the Republic of China when he encircled and suppressed the bandits in Jiangxi.

Later, Chang Kaishen ordered Hu Jing'an to be posthumously given the rank of general of the army for his meritorious service in "suppressing the Communist Party", and he was buried in Qingyunpu, Nanchang.

……

Xiu Gongshen secretly observed the change of Cheng Qianfan's expression, and was very pleased to see Cheng Qianfan's expression of regret.

Although I don't know why Cheng Qianfan is suddenly interested in the Taihu water bandits, but when this topic came up, Xiu Gongshen had a plan in his mind, and deliberately casually mentioned the military operation to suppress the Taihu bandits. Its purpose is to draw out Hu Jingan.

Take this opportunity to secretly observe Cheng Qianfan's attitude towards the Red Party.

Earlier, the Party Affairs Investigation Office had secretly investigated Cheng Qianfan, and Xiu Gongshen was very angry about this matter.

He didn't think Cheng Qianfan had anything to do with the Red Party.

However, in private, Xiu Gongshen was cautious enough, the Red Party had too many methods of bewitching young people, he was worried that Cheng Qianfan would be bewitched by the Red Party.

Xiu Gongshen was secretly satisfied with Cheng Qianfan's verbal performance.

And he himself chuckled deep in his heart at this moment:
I am really suspicious.

Qian Fan is a kid who likes money and is quite presumptuous when it comes to women. How can this kind of person have anything to do with the Red Party.

"This military operation is by far the government's largest operation to eliminate water bandits in Taihu Lake, and it is also the operation with the most brilliant results." Xiu Gongshen said with a smile.

"Among them, Sanshan Island in Suzhou, the lair of Zhang Zhaohua, the first gangster in Meizhou, was breached. Nearly [-] corpses were left on both sides. It can be said that corpses are scattered all over the field, so that Sanshan Island is now sparsely populated, and most people dare not live there."

Sanshan Island!
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, and he secretly remembered the island.

……

At this moment, the phone in the living room downstairs rang.

"Sir, your phone number."

Mama Wu's voice came from downstairs.

"I'm going to answer the phone." Xiu Gongshen got up and said.

"I'll go down too." Cheng Qianfan said, although he was quite interested in the confidential documents in the safe in Xiu Gongshen's study, he would never touch them.

Xiu Gongshen is his teacher and elder, and he is very familiar with him.

Similarly, he is quite familiar with Xiu Gongshen, and he is even afraid of it.

Even Comrade 'Zhu Lin' was quite afraid of Xiu Gongshen during his lifetime, and reminded him to be extra cautious when facing Xiu Gongshen.

Cheng Qianfan took this very seriously, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not have the thought and action of 'making up his mind' to Xiu Gongshen.

Just one thing, Cheng Qianfan has not figured out exactly which side Xiu Gongshen is from.

……

Xiu Gongshen hung up the phone and sighed slightly.

"Teacher, what happened?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Have you heard about Yang Fuyuan's murder?" Xiu Gongshen asked.

"I heard about it in the afternoon." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He heard the news of Yang Fuyuan's murder in the patrol room in the afternoon. He was surprised and delighted.

Cheng Qianfan came to a conclusion that this matter should have been done by the Shanghai Branch of the Lixingshe Secret Service.

Yang Fuyuan is a hardcore traitor, and he deserves more than his death.

This is what the police in the patrol room chatted about. Although Cheng Qianfan is eager to know more precise information, the shooting happened in Hongkou, not the French Concession, and his police officers do not know more precise information.

In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, he didn't want to show too much attention to this matter.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan was quite surprised to hear Xiu Gongshen mention Yang Fuyuan's name.

"Yang Fuyuan's eldest son Yang Qifa called. This person used to have some contacts with me, so he asked me for help." Xiu Gongshen said.

"Help?" Cheng Qianfan frowned, "Yang Fuyuan was probably killed by someone sent by Wuhan. Didn't he ask the teacher to help him find the murderer?"

"Of course not, Yang Qifa doesn't dare to seek revenge from the murderer." Xiu Gongshen shook his head, "He knows that I have some friendship with the people from the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the British and American Concession, so he asked me to help contact the people from the Ministry of Industry Bureau and ask the Japanese for Yang Fuyuan's Corpse."

"Yang Fuyuan's corpse?" Cheng Qianfan chuckled, "He is running around for the Japanese, and the Japanese are going to make a fuss about his corpse and make a fuss about it?"

"It is said that the super high school seized the body and required an autopsy." Xiu Gongshen shook his head and said, "Yang Qifa naturally didn't want to see his deceased father being stabbed with a knife, and he didn't dare to go to the Japanese to ask for it."

"Then teacher?" Cheng Qianfan asked Xiu Gongshen.

"I declined." Xiu Gongshen shook his head, "Yang Fuyuan was killed, the Japanese must be furious now, and they are tracking down the murderer who killed Yang Fuyuan. Anyone involved in this matter for no reason will inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese."

As he said that, he looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Remember, nothing happens for no reason, and some seemingly small reasons may cause big trouble."

"Yes, Qianfan has been taught." Cheng Qianfan nodded with a serious expression.

At the same time, there seemed to be a flash of light in his mind, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped some key information, and the answer to the doubt that had been troubling him seemed to be in this section.

Cheng Qianfan remained calm, and continued to chat with Xiu Gongshen.

About half an hour later, He Xuelin came back with Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Qianfan took Ruolan and Xiaobao to leave.

On the way home, Cheng Qianfan was thinking quickly in his mind while driving.

Yang Fuyuan was sanctioned by the Secret Service.

The faint smell of blood on Jiro Sanben's body.

Sanben Jiro said that there was a "minor problem" in the "acquisition of the deputy chief inspector of the Chuo District", but it was "not a big problem" and it has now been "solved".

Araki Harima led the special agents of the super high class to dispatch urgently to carry out secret missions.

Koike said convincingly that Araki Harima must have made great achievements this time. Not only can Araki rely on this military achievement to solve his dream of being promoted in one fell swoop, he may even be personally received and rewarded by Masao Nishida.

A lot of information, like messy threads, kept rolling in Cheng Qianfan's mind.

He vaguely felt that he was going to find that thread and pull up these messy thread ends.

Finally, he grabbed the thread and had a bold guess in his mind...

PS: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, thank you.
