Chapter 10 Secret Service
The Fuxing Society Secret Service, under the charge of Dai Li, includes four departments: Military Intelligence Department, Party and Government Intelligence Department, Operations Department, and Telecommunications Department. Guan Shijie was arranged to serve as an intelligence officer in the first group of the Military Intelligence Department.
Li Tianmu, chief of the Military Intelligence Section, was from Jilin, and formerly a staff officer of the Northeast Army Combat Intelligence Department.
Xiong Menglin, the leader of the first group, graduated from the tenth infantry department of the Whampoa Military Academy. He is now 31 years old. He is serious and has a tepid personality.
The first group has fifty members, responsible for military intelligence in North China, Northeast China, Yunnan and Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Guan Shijie was assigned to the North China region group, with a total of six people; Xiong Menglin, Liu Chenggong, Chao Yongqiang, Wu Yanzhang, Gao Yafeng, and himself.
After two days of preliminary contact, Guan Shijie roughly learned about the background of the members of his group.
Xiong Menglin, 28 years old, from Foshan, Guangdong, graduated from the tenth infantry department of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Liu Chenggong, 28 years old, from Qingzhou, Shandong Province, was a cavalry scientist in the 11th phase of the Northeast Military Academy.
Chao Yongqiang, 27 years old, is from Handan, Hebei Province and is an exiled student at Northeastern University.
Wu Yanzhang, 25 years old, from Nanjing. He has a high school education, a disciple of the Qing Gang and a disciple of Du Yuesheng.
Gao Yafeng, 23 years old, from Xiangtan, Hunan, graduated from National Hunan University and former clerk of the confidential secretariat of Nanjing Security Command.
Because Guan Shijie is from Peking, he was arranged to collect intelligence work in two major regions of Peking and Tianjin. The content includes summarizing the information reflected by each workstation, sorting it out in categories, and then reporting it to the team leader Xiong Menglin.
Guan Shijie took the time to call Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei to report his safety, and asked them to tell their parents and two sisters that they are working in the Nanjing government department and asked them to leave Peking as soon as possible.
Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei were also happy for him when they heard that Guan Shijie was in disguise and went to work in Fuxing Society.
July 1, 1937. There are still six days left before the July 7 Incident.
Because Guan Shijie was a librarian in the era when he traveled through time, he was very good at summarizing and classification, so he got started very quickly.
The clerk of the Telecommunications Department brought a thick stack of information in about twenty or thirty minutes and distributed it to the desks of Guan Shijie and the other five people by region.
Guan Shijie hoped to select the Japanese army from one piece of information to take over the attempts of the Japanese army to occupy Peiping and Tianjin, but unfortunately, he picked up three or five dozen times and found no useful information. Each one was a routine work report: such as the weather in Peking, sunny, temperature, 26 degrees Celsius. There was no abnormality in the Japanese troops stationed in the garrison, and the troops under the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army were normal, etc., etc.
Guan Shijie was anxious, but he didn't dare to say that the "July 7 Incident" would happen. Until he got off work at 5 pm, the information he received was still the same. He was determined to kill the enemy, but he was unable to turn things around. He did not report the abnormal military dynamics of the Japanese, and he was anxious and could not forge a document to remind his boss.
It depends on whether there will be any relevant information reactions in the next few days.
Before getting off work, Xiong Menglin ordered to welcome his new colleague Guan Shijie at the old-school building of Lion Bridge, Xuanwu Gate, tonight.
Guan Shijie felt a little disgusted when he saw that Liu Chenggong and others in the same group paid out of their own pockets and handed over the money to Xiong Menglin. As an ordinary staff member of the secret service, the salary of a military rank is OK. For example, the team leader Xiong Menglin is a major and Liu Chenggong is a captain, with a salary of about 300 yuan.
The monthly salary of other people, including Guan Shijie, is between 120 and 150. In addition to daily expenses, people who live in the dormitory of Fuxing Society still have a slight monthly surplus. However, for those who are with their families and those who have heavy family burdens, they seem a little short of money.
As far as Guan Shijie knows, although Xiong Menglin and Liu Chenggong have a slightly higher salary, they both have their own parents and hungry children, and their lives are not well-off.
Chao Yongqiang's family has seven brothers and sisters. He is the pillar of the family. His monthly salary is only twenty or thirty yuan, and the rest is sent to his family.
Wu Yanzhang and Gao Yafeng were both full and their whole family was not hungry.
Especially Wu Yanzhang is a native of Nanjing, a disciple of the Qing Gang, and has many friends. He will spend all his salary before the end of the month.
Gao Yafeng has a good family background, handsome appearance, and is not romantic. His girlfriend is changing over and over like a revolving lantern. Recently, he is pursuing a dancer. He goes to the dance hall to support him every night, spending money like flowing water. After spending his salary, he asks his parents at home, and he lives a free and easy life.
At six o'clock in the evening, Guan Shijie and the other five arrived at the top scholar building in Lion Bridge.
The shopkeeper was wearing a short blue jacket and a white towel on his shoulder. When he saw six people walking in, he greeted him diligently: "Six guests, there are no seats in the private room, and there are still seats for the seats. Please give me some of you here."
"I want a private room." Xiong Menglin took out a document and shook it in front of the waiter's eyes.
"this......"
The waiter hesitated. Before the waiter could reply, Xiong Menglin took the lead in walking to the second floor.
Xiong Menglin led Guan Shijie and the other five to a private room called Hongyun Dangtou. The waiter followed him up and handed a menu with a wry smile.
"Xiao Guan, please order food and don't save money for your brothers." Xiong Menglin said.
"When you come to Nanjing, you must order osmanthus duck and lion head. Waiter, write these two dishes first." Liu Chenggong said.
"How can you lose the lotus leaf lotus root ribs from Zhuangyuanlou?" said Wu Yanzhang.
"Ruyi returns to the dried pork, and the old goose in the East Mountain." Gao Yafeng said.
"Team leader, are these guys too unauthentic? They all order what they like, so I order a spicy crayfish." Chao Yongqiang said.
"A group of gangsters, let Xiao Guan order the dishes first. You all have finished ordering." Xiong Menglin said with a smile.
Although he had been in contact for a few days, Guan Shijie liked these people's unscrupulous and straightforward personalities.
"Team leader, and a few brothers, thank you. I have treated you to this meal today. Let's see what you like to eat and drink, just take care of everything." Guan Shijie said.
When he left the detention center, Guan Shijie received his personal belongings, in addition to his watch, belt, key, and 2,400 yuan in cash. When he entered the cell, Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei also saved him 2,000 yuan in the detention center to eat, drink and buy daily necessities. He thought that no matter what era he was in, he would only benefit but not harm.
"How can this work? Brothers are we here to welcome you, how can you spend money?" Xiong Menglin said.
"That's right, what the team leader said makes sense." Liu Chenggong said.
Chao Yongqiang, Wu Yanzhang, and Gao Yafeng all agreed.
Chapter completed!
