"Of course, the employees of Guanhulou only know that these two people are Director Deng and Staff Officer Wu." Wang Jiangang added, "I don't know the full names of the two people and what units they work in. Wang Jiangang added on the side.

"Then how do you know that Director Deng and Staff Officer Wu in the mouths of the employees of Guanhulou must be Deng Xingnong and Wu Wenjun?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

"Because I brought the photos I got from the family office." Wang Jiangang said, "During the separate interrogation of the Guanhulou staff, four employees accurately pointed out the photos of Deng Xingnong and Wu Wenjun from the photos I brought with them, saying that they had been to the Guanhulou last night. ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded, since the four employees in the separate interrogation of the quarantine all recognized the photos of Deng Xingnong and Wu Wenjun, and they had all seen these two people go to Guanhu Tower last night, then it can basically be confirmed that Deng Xingnong and Wu Wenjun did go to Guanhu Tower last night.

"So did these four employees of Guanhu Tower talk about whether they had been to Guanhu Tower before?" Lin Jiangbei continued to ask.

"I've been there a lot before." Wang Jiangang replied, "According to the four employees, they saw Deng Xingnong more often, and Wu Wenjun occasionally followed Deng Xingnong. ”

"Then apart from Deng Xingnong and Wu Wenjun, have any of the other members of the Air Defense Command who have access to the air defense fortification map ever been to Guanhu Tower?" Lin Jiangbei raised another question.

"It's not for sure yet." Wang Jiangang replied, "But at least after the employees in the Guanhu Building identified the photos, no one remembered that anyone else had been there." ”

Lin Jiangbei looked down at the other list in his hand, this is the list of telephones provided by the provincial telephone company, judging from the list, among the members who can get in touch with the air defense fortification map, except for Wu Wenjun, a staff officer of the staff department of the security department, and Shi Dongqiang, secretary of the flight section of the Jianqiao Central Aviation School, the residences of several other people are equipped with telephones.

According to the intersection of these two lists, it is obvious that Deng Xingnong, director of the Air Defense Intelligence Department and chief of staff of the Provincial Security Department, is the target they are looking for.

"Principal Zhou and Inspector General, judging from these two lists, we should take action against Deng Xingnong immediately!" Lin Jiangbei said.

Du Chenghu shook his head, sighed, and said, "How easy it is to talk about!" ”

"Why isn't it easy?" Lin Jiangbei asked in surprise.

"Because Deng Xingnong is a close confidant of Xu Tiecheng, the director of the provincial security department, and Xu Tiecheng is extremely protective of his shortcomings, and he never buys the work of our intelligence department." Du Chenghu said.

What the? Don't buy the work of the Intelligence Service?

Lin Jiangbei's eyes widened in surprise.

In his impression, the Intelligence Department under Mr. Duan's control has always been a terrifying force in the military, political and police intelligence system, no matter how high your official position is, the agents facing the Intelligence Department are only submissive, how can you become an exception in front of Xu Tiecheng? He is the director of the provincial security department, although he controls the power of the provincial security regiment, but even those bigwigs of the regular army have to sell Mr. Duan's face, Xu Tiecheng, a director of the local security regiment, dare not buy the account of the intelligence department?

Du Chenghu glanced at Zhou Fengshan, and saw that Zhou Fengshan did not express any objections, so he turned his head and continued to say to Lin Jiangbei: "Originally, this matter should not have been told to you now. But considering that you will have to work at Hangcheng Station in the future and will often deal with the personnel of the Provincial Security Department, I will tell you the twists and turns in the middle first, so as to save you from accidentally breaking into any trouble in the future. ”

It turned out that Xu Tiecheng, the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Security Department, had a very unusual background.

During the Republican period, especially after the Nationalist Government established the capital in Nanjing after 1927, the position of Zhejiang Province on China's political map was far more important than that of Lin Jiangbei's previous life.

Because of its proximity to Jiangsu, the central area ruled by the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, and the hometown of the leader Chang Chang, Zhejiang has always been regarded as an important place in Gyeonggi, and Hangzhou, as the capital of Zhejiang Province, is naturally the most important. Therefore, the position of the director of the security department of Zhejiang Province is far more important than that of the director of the security department of other provinces.

Specific to Xu Tie himself, his father was a brother to the leader Principal Chang when he was young, not only Principal Chang has always regarded him as a nephew, but also he and Principal Chang's eldest son are also brothers and sisters, which can be called irreversible friends.

Before serving as the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Security Department, Xu Tiecheng had been by the side of President Chang, and successively served as the chief of the colonel section of the General Office of the Central Military Academy, the head of the guard regiment of the National Government, the staff officer of the leader's chamber and even the chief of the guard of the major general of the chamberlain.

Xu Tiecheng went to Zhejiang Province to serve as the director of the Provincial Security Department with such a resume, naturally it was not that he offended Principal Chang and was exiled, but that Principal Chang sent him to Zhejiang to take care of his hometown. Therefore, Xu Tiecheng didn't even buy the face of Wang Shaohong, chairman of the provincial government of Zhejiang Province, not only never attended the provincial government meeting, but even pointed at Wang Shaohong in front of him and scolded, "What kind of thing are you?"

With such a background, it is not surprising that Xu Tiecheng did not buy Duan Yinong, the director of the intelligence department who made other military and political bigwigs fearful.

However, Xu Tiecheng didn't buy the Intelligence Department and Duan Yinong, but he was not pampered and arrogant, but originated from a public case between him and Duan Yinong.

In June of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, that is, in June 1933, when Xu Tiecheng was still serving as the chief of the guard of the chamber by the side of the leader Principal Chang, Duan Yinong obtained the consent of the leader Principal Chang and set up a reconnaissance squad and a guard squad under the attendant room, each squad was 15 people, and 30 people were transferred by the intelligence department to "protect the safety of the leader".

Duan Yinong's reconnaissance and guard squads, in today's terms, belong to "dual leadership", and in terms of business, they are subordinate to the command of Xu Tiecheng, the chief of the guard. However, in terms of establishment, the personnel are still subordinate to the Intelligence Department, and their salaries are also received from the Intelligence Department, but they only receive allowances, subsidies, and clothing expenses from the attendant's room, which is basically equivalent to Duan Yinong's voluntary work in the attendant's room.

But for Duan Yinong, of course, he will not engage in a loss-making business, the reason for doing this, first, is to protect the safety of the leader Principal Chang, which is the responsibility of the intelligence department; Second, the position of the attendant room is important, and you can have your own people next to Principal Chang to report news at any time, and you can feel at ease.

Therefore, Duan Yinong not only worked in vain, but also did his best, and basically sent his classmates from the Whampoa Military Academy and the elite who graduated from the "Zhejiang Police" and were trained by the Hangzhou training class, that is, Lin Jiangbei's senior brother.

At the same time, Duan Yinong obtained Xu Tiecheng's consent and recommended three military academy classmates from the secret service as official "guard officers". These three guard officers, together with the reconnaissance class and the guard class, have become the new force of guards inside and outside the principal Chang, so that Duan Yinong not only achieved his long-cherished wish to protect Principal Chang, but also has loyal and promising cadres who are on hand day and night to protect the safety of Principal Chang. ”

In this way, Duan Yinong is suitable, but from the perspective of the personnel of the reconnaissance squad and the guard squad sent over, he is very aggrieved.

The chamberlain is a large institution with a lot of work, and the part of the people who specialize in security is called the "guard officer". Since the reconnaissance squad and the guard squad operate "outside the system" of the chamberlain's room, there are no such people in the roster of the chamberlain's room, and there is no name for "guard officer", let alone military rank, position, and so on. The salary is also different, a formal guard officer, the salary is twice as much as that of a person in the reconnaissance squad and the guard squad.

Personnel management has its own rules, no matter what era, any unit, if its internal personnel identity and treatment are different, after a long time, there will be problems. What's more, it is such a big thing as the "guardian leader", everyone bears the same responsibility, but the identity is different, the treatment is also different, and the salary income is still a big difference, so no one has to have ideas.

Through a period of observation, the reconnaissance squad and the guard squad left a good impression on Xu Tiecheng, so Xu Tiecheng planned to keep these cadres for himself. At the same time, it should be said that this is also a measure to solve the "system" problems.

After Xu Tiecheng discussed with the German adviser in the chamber's chamber, Si Tunis, he came up with a "co-optation" plan:

First, in terms of system, the inclusion of the two squads of reconnaissance and security into the official establishment of the chamber is equivalent to saying that these 30 people have nothing to do with the intelligence department from now on;

Second, in terms of treatment, the personnel of the two classes are all awarded military ranks, among which, all personnel of the reconnaissance squad, regardless of whether they have graduated from military academies or police academies, and regardless of their term or seniority, will be awarded the rank of captain and called "guard officer"; The members of the guard squad, because of the relatively simple tasks they undertake, are awarded the rank of second lieutenant, called "special agents".

In advance, Xu Tiecheng informed Duan Yinong of the matter, and as long as he agreed, he could "report to the Standing Committee for approval".

As far as the members of the reconnaissance and guard squads are concerned, once this "integration" plan is realized, they will be able to "transform" themselves into officers of the "National Revolutionary Army." Of course, it is good, and it can even be said that this is a great thing that they dream of.

But who would have thought that at this moment, Duan Yinong arranged for the secretary of the reconnaissance squad to do something that no one could understand. He secretly reported to Duan Yinong, saying: "The two teams of investigation and police are the essence of painstaking training, and if they are absorbed by others, it will have a great impact on the group, so please consider refusing them." ”

Duan Yinong felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he "telegraphed the chief of the guard to refuse".

Xu Tie's cost was well-intentioned, and he wanted to make these spies go up the grade, but as a result, the secretary of the reconnaissance squad was like this, and this "meaning" became "embarrassed", thinking that Duan Yinong's subordinates, one by one, did not know how to raise their faces, and they were shameless, and the anger in their hearts could be imagined.

Coincidentally, at this time, another unpleasant thing happened, the two guard officers sponsored by Duan Yinong "because they were not used to seeing what their colleagues in the guard room did", wrote a letter of complaint to the leader Principal Chang, and the letter of complaint fell into the hands of Xu Tiecheng.

When the two things came together, Xu Tiecheng was furious and immediately brought Duan Yinong to lose his temper.

Although Duan Yinong, as the director of the Intelligence Department, won the trust of Principal Chang, he was not enough to see Xu Tiecheng in front of Principal Chang as a nephew, and Xu Tiecheng was born in the first phase of Huangpu, so he was Duan Yinong's senior in the military academy, so he spoke unceremoniously: "I promoted your person, but you refused; The person you recommended to come in specialized in small reports, and it turned out that your people were not here to protect the leader, but to beat our small reports. ”

In the end, Duan Yinong not only had to transfer away the three military academy classmates he recommended to serve as guard officers, but also formed a bond with Xu Tiecheng.

After telling this public case, Du Chenghu let out a long sigh, "Jiangbei, you said that we are going to move Xu Tiecheng's most trusted henchman Deng Xingnong now, will Xu Tiecheng cooperate with us?" ”
