The Bravest

Chongqing boss Dai was furious with the demise of the Shanghai station of the Military Control Commission. He also began to plan to rebuild the Shanghai station. He had already lost two of his four trump cards. Which one should he send to take over this mess of the Shanghai station?

Boss Dai was unable to make a decision for a while, so he called in Mao Renfeng, his subordinate who was in charge of daily work, to discuss the matter.

"Qi Wu, the Shanghai station must be rebuilt immediately. Do you have any suggestions?" Qi Wu is Mao Renfeng's pen name, and Boss Dai called him that to show his affection.

"Boss, don't worry. Victory and defeat are common in the military. As for rebuilding the Military Control Commission's Shanghai station, I have also considered it. Manpower should not be a problem. The original plan for the Shanghai suburban guerrilla zone has already selected several hundred elite troops. What is lacking now is a leadership team to preside over the overall situation." Mao Renfeng stopped here and looked at Boss Dai. He has always been cautious and likes to guess Boss Dai's thoughts.

"Qi Wu, it's time to stop playing tricks and just say whatever you want to say." Boss Dai is a very capable person. Mao Renfeng is not good enough in front of him, but he is not in the mood to argue with him today. Besides, Boss Dai is used to Mao Renfeng's behavior. As long as he is loyal enough, these are just trivial matters. Boss Dai believes that he has this kind of mind.

"According to the reports sent back by Xishi and my son-in-law, as well as other intelligence combined for analysis, I think there is a great possibility that the Japanese army will occupy the concession. It's just that it's hard to judge the timing. However, my son-in-law has already taken the initiative to start planning. I have considered whether I can get my son-in-law to cooperate in rebuilding the Shanghai Station." Mao Renfeng expressed his thoughts and looked at Boss Dai's expression as usual.

Boss Dai didn't say anything. Mao Renfeng didn't even know that Xishi had a direct channel to contact Boss Dai. Boss Dai knew exactly what Lin Jie did. His importance to Lin Jie far exceeded Mao Renfeng's expectations, because in addition to the need for intelligence in the current war of resistance, Boss Dai was already thinking about taking over Shanghai after victory.

Boss Dai firmly believed that the war of resistance would be won. As the most important financial city in China, Shanghai was crucial to the Nationalist government rebuilding its homeland after the victory. Therefore, it was also necessary to consider whether the Japanese would carry out large-scale destruction of Shanghai after their defeat. Lin Jie could now get along with both No. 76 and the Military Police Headquarters. In the future, there was a greater possibility of obtaining intelligence before the Japanese army withdrew, so that he could make accurate responses to the sabotage actions before the Japanese army withdrew and preserve the integrity of Shanghai as much as possible.

"Forget it, Qi Wu, if the Xishi team can stay together, then don't do it. They will be very useful in the future. It's better not to link up with the Shanghai station. And you should also tell them to protect themselves first in everything they do, for the future. Do you understand?"

"Boss, are you considering the issue of future takeover? Or is it that you are farsighted and I am shortsighted? I will give you an order." Mao Renfeng was smart and guessed the core of what Boss Dai was thinking. It was true that the Xishi team would play a greater role in the future. It was because of the urgency of rebuilding the Shanghai station that he was too impatient. However, Mao Renfeng's strength was that he could flatter Boss Dai while admitting his mistakes.

"Qi Wu, what do you think of Zhang Wu and Liu Yang? They are more familiar with Shanghai than anyone else. Can we let them go?"

"They are definitely capable, but there is just one thing the boss may need to consider. Both Zhang Wu and Liu Yang were defeated by their son-in-law. Will they attack their son-in-law? It will be troublesome if family members start fighting each other." Mao Renfeng was very worried about this.

"Let me think about it again. Qi Wu, think about whether there is a way to have the best of both worlds. Your last plan of surrendering your name was very good. And from what Liu Yang said, the son-in-law may have left him a way out. Think about it again."
