Let me go to Taihu Lake to help you train agents? ”

He Ruyi put down the book in his hand: "Meng Shaoyuan, do you know my qualifications?" Before the formation of the Group of Ten, I began to do intelligence work. When the Lixing Society was established, they tried their best to invite me to join, and I was one of the first spies of the Lixing Society, and as soon as I entered, I was a senior officer. ”

"Yes, yes, teacher."

Meng Shaoyuan said "yes" repeatedly.

He Ruyi looked at him: "Meng Shaoyuan, do you know my identity?" Dai Li's rank is only that of Major General, and my official rank is Major General. Let me tell you, in the military rank, Dai Li, when he sees me, must salute, you little lieutenant colonel, come and order me? I also told you, even this lieutenant colonel is only a rank approved by the military council! ”

This is true at all, for the rest of his life, he was just a major general, he was promoted in 1945, and he was posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general after his death.

However, during the Anti-Japanese War, especially in the year after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, after he was promoted to deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, he often wore a military uniform in public and wore the rank of lieutenant general, but no one objected.

This has to do with the military rank system at the time.

The Kuomintang military rank system is divided into two types: formal military ranks, also known as subordinate military ranks, and post military ranks.

The official military rank is appointed by the national government, and its format is military services plus military ranks, such as rear admiral, vice admiral, etc.

The rank of post is appointed by the military council according to the officer's position, and its format is military rank plus position, such as major general, brigade commander, lieutenant general, etc.

The rank of post is only a temporary rank and changes with the change of position.

The rank of lieutenant general worn by Dai Li during the Anti-Japanese War was a military rank, and the official rank of major general was awarded by the Nationalist Government in 1945.

At that time, this situation was very common among Kuomintang generals, such as Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang, Zhang Lingfu and others when they served as division commanders, army commanders and even corps commanders, their official military rank was colonel, which was seriously inconsistent with their actual positions, so they usually wore the rank of major general or even lieutenant general.

This is also the reason why during the Anti-Japanese War, there were more than a dozen lieutenant generals and more than 30 major generals under Dai Li.

The same is true for Meng Shaoyuan, whose official rank is captain in the army, and his rank is lieutenant colonel deputy chief of the Operations Section and lieutenant colonel director of the Shanghai Supervision Office.

If you make another meritorious service, it will be the colonel's section chief.

With his ability, it is not unusual for him to be promoted to major general within a year.

The problem is that even if he became a lieutenant general, it would still be recorded in the official archives of the Nationalist Government:

Meng Shaoyuan, Army Captain.

It is precisely for this reason that there is a strange thing about a certain person serving as a staff officer of a lieutenant colonel of a certain department and also the chief of staff of a colonel of a certain department.

In this special period, the awarding and wearing of military ranks is also particularly casual and unserious. Needless to say, the local warlord forces, even the Central Army, are the same.

On one occasion, when speaking at the Central Military Academy's commemorative week for the prime minister, the chairman said that compared with the great powers, the national army has a particularly weak combat effectiveness and a large number of generals, and there are too many generals to count.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhizhong, who was on the side, took off the general's collar medal on the spot and replaced it with a lieutenant general.

The confusion in the management of its ranks can be seen from this.

In 1934, in the course of the reorganization and establishment of the army, the Nationalist Government began to separate the Military Balance Department, which originally belonged to the Ministry of Military Affairs, into the Quanxu Department directly under the Military Commission in accordance with the personnel system of the Japanese army, and formulated the personnel rectification and promotion measures for the army.

One of these is the separation of rank and rank, and the separation of office and appointment.

The post refers to the position of army commander and division commander, and the appointment of an officer is the rank of lieutenant general and major general. In other words, the promotion of posts and the promotion of military ranks follow two paths.

It is said that this is a progress, and it is a progress that can truly reflect the meaning of military ranks, but because the method of using benchmark military ranks is not taken into account, and it does not inherit the style of additional ranks in the Beiyang period, its disadvantages are soon exposed.

According to the regulations of this term of office, the promotion of military ranks is strictly limited by the "suspension of years".

The so-called "suspension year" is the number of years that a certain military rank must stay, that is, the minimum number of years of service.

According to the regulations, the suspension years at all levels are: second lieutenant to lieutenant for one and a half years, lieutenant to captain for two years, captain to major for four years, major to lieutenant colonel for three years, lieutenant colonel to colonel for three years, colonel to major general for four years, major general to lieutenant general for three years, and lieutenant general to general.

According to this calculation, it will take 17 and a half years for a second lieutenant to be promoted to major general at the earliest.

This contradiction has arisen because they have been in a state of war, but the promotion of commanders has not been restricted by so many years of suspension, and those who have been promoted to three levels in a year have been promoted.

For example, Hu Zongnan, Li Xianzhou, Li Yannian, Huang Jie, Chen Tie, Gui Yongqing, and so on, who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, all served as military commanders in the second year after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, and their history in the army at this time was less than 14 years.

The commander can be a military commander, but the rank has to go slowly. This separation of posts and appointments has led to the strange phenomenon that the promotion of "officials" lags far behind the promotion of "posts."

Jokes like the captain of the separate brigade and the commander of the brigade have appeared at one time or another.

When Meng Shaoyuan joined the Lixing Society, he was born in Huangpu and had the rank of captain in the army, and according to the suspension process, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the army, even if it was a smooth journey, it would take at least 7 years!

However, there is also an advantage to this kind of post rank, if you are a lieutenant colonel, then wear the rank of lieutenant colonel, and if the rank is lower than yours, where can you tell whether you are a formal lieutenant colonel or a lieutenant colonel?

Unless you are an officer who knows the rules well, you will judge by your age at a glance.

From this point of view, He Ruyi is not only Dai Li's subordinate, but also Dai Li's commander.

was reprimanded by He Ruyi like this, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't say a word.

"Shao Yuan." He Ruyi suddenly smiled: "In terms of identity and qualifications, you don't have the right to let me do this, but I'm not the kind of unreasonable person, you are my most proud student, and now that the War of Resistance is like this, it is difficult for you." ”

As soon as he heard that there was still a play, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly came to his senses: "Teacher, what conditions do you have, just say, what I can do Meng Shaoyuan must do, and what I can't do, even if I try my best to drill into the sky, I will do it for you." ”

"You guy, monkey spirit." He Ruyi smiled, and his face suddenly became serious: "I used to be a hot-blooded young man, I have a friend named Miao Chengfang, that year, we fell in love with a girl named Yuexing......

Well? What's going on?

It's good to talk about training spies, why did you turn to a love triangle?

This picture came out of the teacher's mouth, it's too weird, isn't it?

Dog blood.

And it's really a very bloody story.

To put it simply, He Ruyi has a deep love for Yuexing, and Yuexing likes Miao Chengfang. Then Yuexing married Miao Chengfang, leaving He Ruyi alone and sad.

"Teacher." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but interject: "Yuexing will definitely not be happy after marriage, right?" ”

"How do you know?" He Ruyi was a little surprised.

How do I know?

You go and ask the people of my time, who doesn't know that this is how it was played in TV dramas?

It's all about to be rotten.

The plot went on completely according to the picture in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.

Miao Chengfang is a rich man, and after marrying Yuexing, he soon went outside to mess with flowers and grass.

Yuexing was not happy, while her husband went out to find another woman, Yuexing made an appointment with He Ruyi to confide, the two drank some wine, couldn't hold back and had a relationship, Yuexing soon had He Ruyi's flesh and blood in her stomach.

The next story is not something that Meng Shaoyuan could guess.

After Yuexing became pregnant, Miao Chengfang actually seemed to be a different person and never went out again, Yuexing thought that he had changed his mind, but Miao Chengfang's face was ugly every day.

When the child was born, it disappeared the next day.

Just when Yue Xing was about to go crazy, Miao Chengfang appeared in front of him and told her the truth.

He is a "celestial eunuch" who has male functions but cannot bear children.

Celestial gelding does not exactly refer to Y dyspotence,

For example, Emperor Han Ai, who has a "habit of broken sleeves", is a eunuch, so he fell in love with Dong Xian.

There is also the famous Weng Tong, who also publicly admits that he is a heavenly eunuch.

The common denominator of all kinds of celestial eunuchs is one:

Can't have children!

Miao Chengfang is like this.

Therefore, the child was missing, Miao Chengfang did not tell anyone where the child was sent, and Yuexing was also ill under the loss of her son and being tortured by Miao Chengfang, and she couldn't do it at the moment.

After He Ruyi found out, he tried his best to secretly see the skinny Yuexing while Miao Chengfang was not at home.

"I saw Yuexing die in front of me with my own eyes......" When telling this story, He Ruyi actually behaved very calmly: "I swear that I will definitely kill Miao Chengfang with my own hands to avenge my child and Yuexing." ”

Meng Shaoyuan understood as soon as he heard it: "Is Miao Chengfang still alive and well?" ”

He Ruyi nodded: "Because before Yuexing died, she definitely betrayed Miao Chengfang and was sorry for her husband, so she asked me to promise that she would not hurt Miao Chengfang...... I swore to her myself. I won't take any other vows to heart at all, but this is my promise to Yuexing! ”

Really, it's bloody!

Meng Shaoyuan blinked: "Teacher, you promised Yuexing, I didn't promise anything." Tired to inquire, is this Miao Chengfang okay now? ”

"Okay, very good." He Ruyi kept sneering: "He is the owner of a record company, and he has recently established a 'Huayang Film Company' and is making a movie." ”

"I see, teacher." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "There are some things, I will do." That child, if he was still alive, I would have pressed him to find out. Also, Miao Chengfang didn't live for ten days. ”

"Well, I didn't ask you to do anything." He Ruyi picked up the book again: "When you finish it, I really want to see that Taihu Lake." ”

"Okay, teacher, then I'll take my leave."

Meng Shaoyuan heard an extremely bloody story, and then he had to continue to do bloody things: revenge!

Of course, he would never do such a thing himself.
