Chapter one(2/2)
There is also the brigade commander of the Appeasement Army on the left. He used to be just a bandit who harmed the people and harmed the other side and was incorporated into the Appeasement Army. He turned against the army before the National Army entered the city, and he also became the National Army.
Although you have done a lot of wrong things before, you have done some things for us. I have seen it clearly these days. There is no need to distinguish between black and white, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Chen Le also made some sense. After Wen Hao formed an alliance with him, although he attacked the Military Control Commission and the Red Party from multiple sides, he only made a move against the Central Commission for the Internet and did a lot of things for the Central Commission for the rescue of captured personnel and transported funds for the activity.
Especially after the Japanese lost in Southeast Asia and retreated step by step, the Japanese and puppet governments also knew that the Japanese's doomsday was not far away, and they began to find a way out for themselves. Wen Hao also began to take the initiative to serve the Central Government and indeed made some contributions. This later became the main evidence for Chen Le to rescue Wen Hao. Otherwise, with Wen Hao's status in the Japanese and puppet government and his reputation as a traitor, even if Chen Le had a way out, it would be impossible for him to escape this disaster.
"You don't need to comfort me. I know what you mean. Actually, I am very content. If you hadn't been running around for me this time, this life would have been left in prison long ago. I will be a new person in the future and live up to your expectations."
At this time, Wen Hao was extremely glad that he met Shen Le. In fact, with the situation that year, Wen Hao steadily gained the upper hand. The reason why he made that agreement was just an excuse to preserve Chen Le. Who knew that a few years later, he became his amulet, drinking and pecking, and who could have imagined the cause and effect in the future!
The banquet continued, and several senior officials in the middle came out to speak again to celebrate the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The National Government successfully returned to Nanjing and so on. Everyone enthusiastically agreed.
After the big guys finished speaking, the guests were cheerful, warmly congratulated, toasted and danced, and the atmosphere gradually reached its climax.
But at this moment, the hotel gate opened, a breeze blew in, and several figures stepped into the hall.
The headed man has a slender figure, a cold face, and is extremely well-matched general and official costume. His military uniform makes him look heroic and majestic, and his appearance is outstanding.
But those slightly narrowed eyes, coupled with overly sharp eyes, were cold and cold in the flash. No matter who it was, you could feel the danger and chill contained in just one glance.
Behind him were several school-level officers, all of whom were tall and straight, showing their wise and powerful look.
As soon as this person appeared, a space suddenly appeared around him. Under his invisible oppression, the people around him instinctively took a step back.
I don’t know which corner I floated out: “King Ning Yan…”
This name is too sensitive! As soon as it was released, it attracted everyone's attention. When the eyes were concentrated, more people saw Ning Zhiheng, the noise in the banquet hall suddenly dropped, and more and more people felt a strange atmosphere.
"It's him, he's back to Nanjing..."
"Why did he come here? Isn't someone going to be in trouble again?"
………
Those who know Ning Zhiheng naturally dare not speak loudly. Those who do not know him were also shocked by the sudden change. They stopped talking and observed quietly. For a moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became a little weird and the air became a little cold.
Ning Zhiheng seemed to have become accustomed to all this and did not care. He looked around and soon saw Huang Xianzheng in the VIP seat. Huang Xianzheng raised his hand to signal, and Wei Liangbi also quickly came up and the group walked quickly towards the VIP seat.
Wherever they were walking, everyone quickly gave up a way, avoiding it for fear of being unable to do so.
When Huang Xianzheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and said to the friends around him: "Brother Chengchang, I have something to do here, so I'll lose my companion first!"
Everyone knew that they were going to talk to Ning Zhiheng, and they nodded repeatedly.
Ning Zhiheng came closer and first gave a standard military salute, showing respect to several generals, and then nodded slightly to show his goodwill.
He was young and had a low military rank. He was just a major general. All the seniors of the Baoding Group were present, so he naturally had to be very respectful. However, these generals and officials did not dare to be negligent and stood up to greet Ning Zhiheng diligently. They could chat and laugh with Wei Liangbi, but when facing Ning Zhiheng, they did not dare to be negligent.
Huang Xianzheng had no intention of delaying. He knew that Ning Zhiheng was here, and the atmosphere was afraid of a little awkward, so he waved his hand to signal. Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi followed him, climbed the stairs together, and quickly walked up the second floor of the hotel.
It was not until Ning Zhiheng's figure disappeared that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased. The guests continued their previous conversations and their voices became louder, as if everything had returned to its original state.
At this time, Shen Le secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to talk to Wen Hao, but someone grabbed his arm and felt that it was amazingly powerful.
He quickly looked up and saw Wen Hao's eyes wide open, and the horror in his eyes could be seen at a glance.
Wen Hao asked in a hurry: "Director, who was the major general just now?"
Chen Le was stunned. He knew Wen Hao very well, knew that Wen Hao was persistent and was not surprised when he was changing, and had rich experiences, and rarely could he be so moved.
"You haven't heard those people just now talking about it? This person is Ning Zhiheng, director of Operations 2 of the Military Intelligence Bureau. You are also engaged in intelligence and should be familiar with this name. The famous Shanghai Intelligence Department is affiliated with Operations 2. It is said that more than 60% of the domestic intelligence must be passed by him, but I think that the data is inaccurate, and at least 80%.
He is also a famous anti-espionage expert. He is in charge of several major anti-espionage operations on the front line of Changsha. He killed Japanese spies and people in the industry call him the "Spy King". However, in Chongqing, people are more accustomed to calling him "Ning Yan King". You can tell by looking at the performance of those people."
"How could he be Ning Zhiheng?"
Wen Hao couldn't help but burst out with a sentence, his voice was low and hoarse, completely different from the past, and his tone was full of disbelief.
Chen Le also saw something wrong. Wen Hao's performance was too abnormal. He looked around and did not notice anyone paying attention to them. Then he turned his head and asked, "What the hell is going on? What did you find?"
Wen Hao was just too shocked and lost his composure. At this time, he looked at Chen Le's serious expression and immediately restrained himself. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and did not immediately answer Chen Le's question.
Chen Le is an experienced old agent. As long as there is a trace of abnormality, he will not let go easily. He stared at Wen Hao tightly, waiting quietly for his explanation.
Wen Hao was shocked and suspicious at this time, and Chen Le was the only person he believed in. He made up his mind and judged gains and losses. Finally, he made up his mind. Then he moved forward, leaned in his ear, and whispered: "This person is definitely not Ning Zhiheng, he is Fujiwara Tomori!"
"What!"
Chen Le looked at Wen Hao in disbelief, couldn't help but exclaim, then became alert and lowered his voice: "What are you talking nonsense? Fujiwara Tomori has been dead for two years."
"It's really him, director, you should know my eyesight. Even if others may admit their mistakes, I will never admit their mistakes. I... I have been with him for several years! Appearance, temperament, eyes..., how can I admit my mistakes!"
Wen Hao was really familiar with Fujiwara Tomori, which was Wen Hao’s greatest reliance and support in the Japanese and puppet government. If it weren’t for Fujiwara, Wen Hao would not have had a smooth career. In the end, he successfully got rid of Li Zhiqun and became the biggest spy leader in the Japanese and puppet government.
If Fujiwara Tomori was not assassinated by the famous Shanghai Intelligence Department later, Wen Hao would have even been able to climb to the core decision-making level of the Japanese and puppet government.
Especially in the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, Fujiwara Tomohito stayed in Nanjing for a long time. The two of them had close contacts and met each other from time to time. They were still good literary friends. If Fujiwara Tomohito trusted and admired the most among the Chinese, then Wen Hao was definitely the best choice.
Even later Wen Hao was detained, one of the major charges was that he was accused of being attached to the Japanese powerful Fujiwara, assisting him in plundering national wealth and injuring the civilian capital and enemies. The crime was unforgivable.
But everything I saw tonight made Wen Hao completely overturn all his previous cognitions. When did Mr. Fujiwara, who had been dead for two years, no, how could Fujiwara Tomori become the most mysterious spy leader in the Chinese intelligence department, Ning Zhiheng, known as the "spy king"!
This incredible thing happened before his eyes! Everything in front of him made him feel like he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe it at all!
Chen Le was also shocked by Wen Hao's words. He knew that Ning Zhiheng could never be Fujiwara Zhiren, but he also knew that Wen Hao could never be lying him, and there was no need to lying him. Besides, even if he wanted to lie to him, it would be impossible to lie to him for such an unreliable thing!
What exactly is going on?
After a long time, Chen Le slowly digested this information. He knew how important this news was. He knew more clearly that he had to investigate and find out the truth. No matter what the result was, it was a huge secret that could subvert the entire intelligence community.
At this moment, his face was never as serious as ever, his eyes were staring at Wen Hao, his voice was extremely low, and he said word by word: "Remember, keep this secret in your heart, and don't let anyone know, you and me, you must find a way to find out the truth of this secret at any cost!"
Unlike the cheerful and festive atmosphere of the first floor lobby, in a room on the second floor of the hotel, Huang Xianzheng's expression was serious, while Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi sat opposite him.
"This time there has been a big change. The military bureau was abolished and the results of the discussion have been confirmed. As expected before, we all went to the Second Department of Intelligence of the Ministry of National Defense. The reorganization work has begun."
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help asking, "Why is it so fast? I thought I would have to prepare for a while."
Huang Xianzheng said a little unhappy: "Why do you think we are urging you to come back? This is the most important thing for us at the moment. You are still in Shanghai. Haven't you killed a group of people before? Why did you kill so many more this time? Now there are rumors everywhere that you killed thirty-six people in one day, and you refused to call Mr. Kong. What's going on?"
Huang Xianzheng's series of questions made Ning Zhiheng overwhelmed, so he had to explain carefully: "It's not that I'm willing to kill, I didn't expect that some of the previous recipients' food were too ugly. It would be fine if they forced to accept other people's industries, but in the end they accepted me and accepted all the industries I arranged in Shanghai a few years ago. I asked them to spit it out, but they dared to bargain with me. I didn't know what I knew. Of course, I caught people in the name of corruption.
That's it. I didn't plan to kill people. After all, it was of some background, but the next thing was a bit strange. I was soon assassinated. If I hadn't reacted in time and the consequences were unimaginable, when I caught people, the result of the interrogation pointed directly at those people, I could only kill people to serve as a warning.
Later, many senior officials called me to plead with mercy. I originally agreed and planned to come to an end and let these people have a way out, but then another assassination. The result of the investigation was that these people bribed the assassin, so I had to order all the shots to be executed.
Now everyone has been killed, but tonight, I was almost ambushed on my way back to Nanjing. I really don’t know what went wrong.”
After listening to Ning Zhiheng's narration, Huang Xianzheng and Wei Liangbi felt something was wrong. They were afraid that this would be famous. Because with Ning Zhiheng's reputation, these people might have dared to bargain with him based on their background, but even if they had the courage to use their ten courage, they would not dare to buy the evil spirit and assassinate Ning Zhiheng. They knew very well how serious the consequences were.
And now that everyone has been killed, and there are still people who are assassinating Ning Zhiheng, this situation is wrong.
Wei Liangbi said: "Someone should be fishing in troubled waters and attacking you in the name of these corrupt elements. Those people are just scapegoats!"
Ning Zhiheng shook his head and said, "The problem is that the evidence of my people's investigation is conclusive. It is indeed theirs. And at this time, who will come to assassinate me?
The Japanese? They have all surrendered.
Red Party? I have killed many people over the years, but I have never killed the Red Party. They have no reason to do so. Besides, this is not their style. They are good at intelligence."
"Maybe it's someone inside the national army!" Huang Xianzheng said coldly. He stood up and walked back and forth in the house. "A few years ago, in order to cover your lurking in East China, we asked Tan Jinhui to preside over the anti-corruption and traitors outside. Most of the disciplinary offenders in the army investigated and punished were sanctioned by Tan Jinhui. There were too many people killed. This has attracted many enemies for you. Otherwise, your name of "King of Hell" would not be so loud. Now it seems that this evil result has been revealed, and maybe someone will take revenge on you!"
Ning Zhiheng heard this, he couldn't help but realize that although he had been lurking behind enemy lines for many years, his reputation in front of others was getting more and more popular. The reason was that Tan Jinhui had to act in his own name. Even several anti-espionage operations in Chongqing and Changsha were later led by Tan Jinhui, which made his lurking work in East China go smoothly. This situation continued until two years ago, when his identity was exposed and he was forced to withdraw back to Chongqing.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and murderous intent rose again in his heart, and said ruthlessly: "It seems that someone inside is really plotting against me, so there are really people who are not afraid of death."
Wei Liangbi also said annoyedly: "It turns out that hidden arrows are hard to prevent. In this anti-corruption campaign, we suffered a secret loss and offended the top leaders. We must find this person, otherwise it will be trouble in the future."
"This person is not simple. He can hide it from my eyes twice in a row. He is a good opponent. Tonight I kept Zhao Jiang to arrest the assassin. When I catch someone, I must interrogate it carefully. I want to see who is behind the scenes!"
Ning Zhiheng punched the table with one punch and said gritting his teeth.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about this matter when someone is caught, let's talk about the reorganization!" Huang Xianzheng waved his hand and pulled the topic back, and then said, "Now our position arrangement has come out. I will serve as the deputy director of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, Zhiheng serves as the director of the Third Department of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and Liangbi serves as the director of the Fourth Department of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense."
"Deputy Director?"
Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi looked at each other, and Ning Zhiheng said, "Since the Second Department is responsible for strategic intelligence, we should focus on the Second Department of Operations. Who doesn't know that the intelligence work of the Second Department of Operations is second to none. Which department can compare with it? Now you only serve as the deputy director. What is the rule?"
The Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense is formed by the merger of the intelligence department of the Military Command and the Operations Department of the Military Control Bureau. There is naturally a saying that the department is the main one. In terms of level, the Military Command is of course higher than the higher level, but in terms of intelligence power, of course, the Operations Department is of the first place.
The intelligence power of the Shanghai Intelligence Department is obvious to all. It also controls the Shanghai intelligence market. The ability to collect intelligence is far from comparable to other departments. Especially in the later stage, the Shanghai Concession was occupied by the Japanese, the Shanghai Intelligence Market was severely damaged, and the intelligence forces of various countries were forced to withdraw from China. Therefore, these intelligence dealers sold their intelligence resources to the Shanghai Intelligence Department. In the later stage, the intelligence network of the Shanghai Intelligence Department had already spread throughout the East China, central China, and southern China, becoming a well-deserved giant in the intelligence community. Such an advantage definitely gave Huang Xianzheng enough voice, but in the end, Huang Xianzheng was still the deputy, which made Ning Zhiheng a little dissatisfied.
Huang Xianzheng was satisfied. He explained patiently: "The level of the military command is already high, and we can't compare with each other. We are all powers of the Baoding Group. We cannot use internal friction. Moreover, the old coaches have also won a lot of us. Among the sixteen departments, we account for most of the two departments you are responsible for, especially the top two departments. Zhiheng's third department is specifically responsible for domestic intelligence, Liangbi's fourth department is responsible for telecommunications and intelligence. These two departments will occupy more than half of the resources of the entire Second Department. As long as we firmly grasp it, the Second Department of Intelligence will be the final decision!"
Next, Huang Xianzheng carefully introduced the functional structure of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense.
The first is responsible for the intelligence of Japan. Now that Japan has surrendered, the status of this department can be imagined.
The second department is responsible for international intelligence, and China's intelligence capabilities are still unable to get involved in international affairs, and it is also a clean water department.
The fifth department is responsible for border intelligence...
The sixth department is the supervision department...
The seventh place is the technical department...
………
There are a total of sixteen places, but there are only a few who hold real power.
After hearing these introductions, Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi were relieved. It seemed that the result was acceptable.
In fact, this allocation plan is also a proof of the strength of the Second Operation Department. Naturally, Ning Zhiheng, the domestic intelligence department of the Third Division, can be said that no one except him dares to grab this position.
Chapter completed!
