Not all the intelligence officers in the military system are like in TV dramas or novels, they are all mythologized as extraordinary and skilled in marksmanship, and they can fight against ten, with men assassinating and women seducing.

And the real situation is not like this.

Take Chen Lei himself as an example, before Chen Lei, a special forces soldier who is about to retire in modern society, has not yet crossed over to the period of the Anti-Japanese War, the reason why he was able to become the head of the international intelligence team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command is because Chen Lei has studied in Japan for many years and has a close relationship with Iwai Ichiro, the Japanese diplomatic system boss in China.

Based on the above two points, Chen Lei, who does not know martial arts, let alone shoots, was favored by Deputy Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau, who not only appointed him as the head of the intelligence group of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, but also awarded him the rank of major general.

Not only Chen Lei is like this, but among the four members of the international intelligence group of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, only Sun Chengshu has been trained in the special training class of the Military Command for one year, and the other three have only received military training for about three months.

After walking out of this bakery on Gordon Road in the public concession of Shanghai, Chen Lei carried two bags full of high-priced and sweet bread and walked for about 10 minutes before stopping a rickshaw and heading to his residence in Yong'anli, Feixia Road, French Concession, Shanghai.

Less than a minute after Chen Lei left, the bakery, which was the liaison point of the international intelligence group of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, resumed normal business and replaced the "temporarily closed" sign with a "normal business" sign.

After returning to his residence, Chen Lei, as usual, first inspected the thin layer of fragrant ash sprinkled on the inner floor of the threshold on the first floor, as well as on the balcony facing the street of the bedroom and bathroom on the second floor.

After seeing that there were no traces left on the incense ash, Chen Lei was completely relaxed, he first boiled a pot of hot water in the kitchen on the first floor, brewed a cup of instant coffee, sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, and ate the bread he brought.

While drinking hot coffee and eating fragrant bread, Chen Lei felt that this time was the most comfortable moment of the day, and he really couldn't imagine how this "Chen Lei" lived a day before he crossed over.

Is it like him now, except for being able to relax a little in his own residence, once he leaves his residence, the whole person is in a high degree of tension, and he is highly vigilant against all the people in the outside world.

Unconsciously, Chen Lei had already eaten four pieces of bread, and what surprised him was that the four members of the international intelligence group of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command under his leadership had not been to this bakery many times since he opened this bakery on Gordon Road in the Shanghai Tan Public Concession, and this was the first time he tasted the bread they baked, and it really tasted good.

It is said that coffee has a refreshing effect, but after Chen Lei drank three cups of instant coffee, he did not resist the sleepiness, and at less than ten o'clock in the evening, he fell asleep on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor.

As soon as you close your eyes and open them, the night is over!

Early the next morning, Chen Lei got up early at six o'clock, washed up, boiled a pot of hot water, brewed a burst of instant coffee, ate three pieces of bread, and made it his breakfast.

Leaning on the sofa in the living room on the first floor for about an hour, Chen Lei was ready to get up and go to work at the Iwai Mansion on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area of Shanghai.

Just as he got up, Chen Lei suddenly saw that the paper bag containing bread last night had the name and address of Hawklai Bakery printed on the outside.

Without thinking much about it, Chen Lei hurriedly took out a lighter from his pocket and burned the two paper bags in the kitchen on the first floor, until they were burned to ashes, and he did not leave while watching.

After burning these two paper bags used to pack noodles, Chen Lei suddenly remembered one thing, he immediately went to the second floor with a "puff", and turned out the worn-out and yellowed novel "The Family of Gold Powder" from the drawer under the bedside table in the bedroom.

took the telegram that was caught in the book, and after Chen Lei breathed a long sigh of relief, he concocted the same method and burned the telegram sent by the old party to Zhao Agui to ashes, so he left the house without any worries.

Working in the Iwai Mansion, Chen Lei did not have any specific affairs to do, and the various materials collected in the past few days had no intelligence value at all, and he sat in the office on the third floor of Building A, so he crossed his legs, drinking tea and reading the newspaper at the same time.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Lei left the Iwai Mansion, got into a rickshaw, and came to the modern clothing store on Nanjing Road in the Shanghai Tang Public Concession.

In the dark room of the workshop in the modern clothing store, as soon as Chen Lei sat down, he went straight to the point and asked Liu Jianren: "Slut, Director Chen of the General Administration of Central Statistics, and Deputy Director Dai of the General Administration of Military Command, did the two of them call you back?" ”

As soon as Chen Lei's questioning ended, Liu Jianren hurriedly took out two telegrams that he had already translated from the locked drawer, handed them to Chen Lei with both hands, and said, "Team Leader Chen, look, these two telegrams were sent by Director Chen and Deputy Director Dai respectively. ”

On the way here, Chen Lei originally thought that after seeing the contents of the telegram he had asked Liu Jianren to send yesterday evening, Chen Lei of the Central Command Bureau would definitely think that he was secretly rejoicing and put on a posture of standing by while secretly rejoicing that Wang Tianmu had defected to the Japanese and Wang Puppet, resulting in the almost annihilation of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and that even the military united front in Beiping, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and other places had been tragically destroyed.

However, Chen Lei never expected that the chief of the Central Bureau of Punishment would ask Chen Lei in a reply call to lead all the members of the Fifth Action Group of the Shanghai Station of the Central Bureau of Unified Affairs to fully assist and cooperate with the Military Bureau's rape operation in Shanghai.

On the contrary, it was the content of the telegram sent by Deputy Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau, which made Chen Lei feel like a monk in the second chapter of the law - confused.

Because according to the "family rules" within the military command, for Wang Tianmu, a traitor who committed a heinous crime, he should carry out an assassination operation, and he will never give up until Wang Tianmu is eliminated.

As a result, Deputy Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau went so far as to say in a telegram that Wang Tianmu would not implement the "family rules" within the Military Command for the time being, that more attention should be paid to the dynamics of Wang Tianmu and the No. 76 Secret Service Headquarters, and that at the same time, it was necessary to ensure that the personal safety of all members of the Third Group (International Intelligence Group) of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command was not exposed.

What made Chen Lei even more incomprehensible was that Deputy Director Dai of the Military Control Bureau, who was in Shancheng, actually asked him to carry out the operation of blowing up the Japanese Navy's munitions depot on Baoshan Road within three days, as a retaliation and counterattack by the Japanese and Wang Puppet against Wang Tianmu's rebellion.
