Ning Zhiheng received the news of Luo Zidong's removal at the first time, and he was naturally quite happy in his heart, his subordinates did things effectively, and the ways and methods of handling them were very satisfactory.

To deal with traitors like Lu Tianqiao and Luo Zidong, it is necessary to eliminate them with a thunderous force and deter people with two hearts.

A few days later, he also received a commendation telegram from the Military Command Bureau, saying that the Shanghai turmoil had been approved after the previous application for meritorious service, and now it was finally approved, and the result was naturally very satisfactory to everyone.

So, on the second day, Ning Zhiheng took Zuo Gang to enter the French Concession again and held the second meeting of cadres above the team leader in Tan Mansion.

At the meeting, Ning Zhiheng publicly announced the commendation order of the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, in which Lieutenant Colonel Huo Yueze was promoted to the rank of colonel for merit, Major Zuo Gang was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel for merit, Major Yi Huaan was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel for merit, and seven captains were promoted to the rank of colonel and 12 lieutenants to the rank of captain.

Among them, Mu Yu, an intelligence officer who established special merits, made great contributions because of his outstanding performance in the operation, and was promoted from the rank of captain to the rank of colonel, and awarded the Order of the Third Class Yunlu, but this commendation order, Ning Zhiheng will only announce it to Mu Yu alone.

There is also Yu Hongyang, a captain officer with the pseudonym Luo Xinyang, because of his outstanding performance in the operation, he directly caused the outbreak of the great turmoil in Shanghai, and made great contributions, and was promoted from the rank of captain to the rank of colonel, and was awarded the Order of Yunlu of the third class.

And the Shanghai Intelligence Department all reported and commended, accumulating meritorious service! At this point, the rank of the Shanghai Intelligence Section has been raised by a step as a whole, and after many commendations and promotions, now the Shanghai Intelligence Section, even the lowest military rank of an action team member, is already the rank of captain, there are as many as 21 officers with the rank of major, two officers with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and one officer with the rank of colonel!

Due to various reasons, this time the promotion intensity was unprecedented, and the two bureaus gave the green light, and they did not discount Ning Zhiheng's application report at all, and all of them were approved.

In the Military Command Bureau, which has extremely strict rank control, it is unimaginable that an intelligence department with less than 200 people has such a luxurious lineup!

After the commendation was announced, all the people were jubilant and smiling, especially Huo Yueze, he never thought that this time the great turmoil in Shanghai was completely commanded by Director Ning Zhiheng himself, he only watched in the concession throughout the whole process, it can be said that he did not make an inch, but in the end, this greatest credit fell on his head, this is simply joy from the sky, he is happy and can not help himself!

You must know how rare it is to have the rank of colonel in the Military Unification Bureau, at this time it was still the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, that is, several high-level people, and the director-level figures were just the rank of colonel, these people, which one of them is not a veteran agent with deep qualifications, even if it is the youngest Ning Zhiheng, although he is young, he has made countless military achievements, and he has spent a lot of money for the most of the Military Unification Bureau, and finally he was promoted to the rank of colonel by virtue of the establishment of the Military Unification Bureau.

Therefore, Huo Yueze deeply knows that his colonel, which is definitely not easy to come by, is completely due to the care and support of Director Ning Zhiheng, and the gratitude in his heart is really incomprehensible!

He was depressed in his early years, depressed, and suppressed at the bottom for many years, since following Ning Zhiheng, he was favored by Ning Zhiheng and constantly promoted without exception, which successively crossed the threshold of colonel-level officers, and in just a few years, he was promoted all the way to colonel.

Huo Yueze's heart was unspeakably excited, he couldn't help but get up and stand, saluted Ning Zhiheng with a standard military salute, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for the kindness of the seat, Yue Ze will never forget it, and he will definitely lead the horse and hold the stirrup, drive for the seat, and never give up!" ”

Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, this time Huo Yueze was indeed very lucky, it can be said that luck came naturally, his own credit was transferred to his head, and he won the jackpot for nothing, and it was natural to receive this gift from him!

He waved his hand to signal Huo Yue Ze to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yue Ze, you also know the situation of our Military Command Bureau, the rank of colonel has come to an end, but you can't slack off because of this, there is a long way to go to recover the great cause, and you still need to work hard in the future!" ”

Huo Yueze hurriedly replied loudly: "Yes, I understand that I should move forward bravely, and I will never let you down!" ”

Ning Zhiheng smiled and nodded, this time the commendation order came at the right time, and it played a great role in inspiring people and boosting morale, which is of great significance to the future work.

"Our actions this time are too big, and the eyes of the Japanese and Seventy-Six are now on us, and in this environment, we must no longer take risks, so after this operation, our actions will come to an end for the time being, and everything will wait for my instructions to act.

At the same time, Yu Hongyang, who has already revealed his identity, will be transferred to Hong Kong as soon as possible, and it is no longer safe to stay in Shanghai; in addition, I would like to stress once again the discipline of action, the work situation behind enemy lines is complex and changeable, there must be no arrogance in the army, unprepared and unplanned actions are strictly prohibited, and if there is a recurrence, severe punishment will not be granted! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison!

After the meeting, Ning Zhiheng asked Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi to come to his office to personally listen to the action of eliminating Luo Zidong.

Hearing the three people report the whole process in detail, Ning Zhiheng listened, pondered for a moment, and asked: "The action to clear Luo Zidong is very good, let's not mention it for the time being, what I want to ask is that according to Chai Liang's previous report, the reason why Wan Mulin returned to Shanghai is not simple, but he has not moved until now, he just deals with company affairs and finances every day, which is a bit abnormal." ”

Ji Hongyi nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, Wan Mulin began to reveal to Chai Liang, this time he came back to Yue Sheng and had important things for Wan Mulin to deal with, but the strange thing is that later, he never mentioned this matter, and there is no movement at present, but he sold two properties, according to Chai Liang, Wan Mulin will return to Hong Kong after New Year's Day." ”

Ning Zhiheng thought for a while and asked again, "After Wan Mulin came back, who did he meet with more times?" ”

"Chen Ting! The big boss of the Green Gang! ”

"Chen Ting?"

"Yes, this person has always had a good relationship with Yue Sheng, and his political tendencies have always been patriotic, and he has contributed a lot when he formed the Einsatzgruppen, and he usually behaves very low-key, after Wan Mulin came back, he has met with this person many times, and the specific content of the conversation is unknown, but Chai Liang said that when Wan Mulin came back before, he met Chen Ting much less often than this time, but Wan Mulin was very strict, so he couldn't find out what was going on."

Huo Yueze also spoke: "According to our judgment, because of Luo Zidong's death, Chai Liang has aroused Wan Mulin's suspicion, and many things have not been explained to Chai Liang, and this line has lost its value!" ”

Wan Mulin's unusual behavior did not escape the eyes of the Intelligence Section, and they soon learned what the problem was.

Ning Zhiheng nodded, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, he thought for a moment, and his intuition told him that Wan Mulin must have made a major move, but what it was was really unknown, but he knew Yue Sheng's position, but he didn't have to worry too much.

After thinking about it again and again, Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth and ordered: "Let Chai Liang stop deliberately inquiring about the news, Wan Mulin knows that his goal is too big, and it is very likely that he will hand over the task to Chen Ting, we have no one around Chen Ting, and there is no good way, I think Wan Mulin will definitely know before leaving, let's wait and see what happens!" ”

"Yes!"

Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi reported some more work situations, and then withdrew.

At this time, Zuo Qiang knocked on the door and entered, and after Ning Zhiheng finished the meeting, he deliberately left him behind.

Looking at Zuo Qiang's cautious appearance, Ning Zhiheng's tense face eased slightly, and asked lightly, "Do you know why I left you behind?" ”

Zuo Qiang hurriedly replied: "I know, I acted without authorization, violated discipline, and am willing to accept all punishments!" ”

At the meeting just now, Zuo Qiang knew that Ning Zhiheng was referring to him, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, Ning Zhiheng was very strict under his rule, and it was impossible to easily get by!

Ning Zhiheng looked at him, smiled slightly, and said: "You understand, but I still have to make it clear, this time you went into the city, and you did a lot of achievements, especially the assassination of Li Yunqing, you did a very good job, and then provoked turmoil from it, you also contributed a lot, I remember all this."

However, you dared to assassinate Pan Gongya in the wrong place, and at the same time as you assassinated Pan Gongya, I arranged for personnel to assassinate Wang Hanmin, and because of your actions, the poison that should have been given to Wang Hanmin was used on Pan Gongya's body, causing the assassination plan to be exposed in advance, and Wang Hanmin escaped this catastrophe. ”

Ning Zhiheng's words made Zuo Qiang's heart tighten, and he understood why Ning Zhiheng still wanted to pursue this matter after many days, and the little grievances in his heart suddenly dispersed, and his head hung lower.

Ning Zhiheng continued: "This time, the headquarters gave a high degree of affirmation and all the staff were rewarded, but I didn't give you the credit, even if your merits are offset, what do you think?" ”

When Zuo Qiang heard this, he quickly knocked his feet and replied, "The rewards and punishments are clear, I have no opinion!" ”

Ning Zhiheng looked at him, waved his hand and said: "Remember, this is Shanghai, behind enemy lines, surrounded by the eyes of the enemy, it doesn't matter how many times we succeed, but as long as there is one failure, it may be a catastrophe, so it is better not to do it than to make mistakes, and never be arrogant and lucky!" ”

"Yes, I understand!" Zuo Qiang shouted to answer the order!
