Due to the frenzied expansion of the activities of the 76th agent, the number of personnel increased, and then four more offices were added, growing to eight offices and four rooms.

The four divisions added are: Confidential Division, Director Fu Yewen, Deputy Director Qian Xinmin; General Affairs Office, Director Ye Yaoxian, Deputy Director Sun Shilin; Intelligence Division, Director Tang Keming, Deputy Director Wang Daosheng; In the Electric Affairs Department, Director Jin Hui and Deputy Director Yu Yu have also served as the director of the Radio Reconnaissance General Station.

Chen Gongshu, Pu Su's current "superior of the military command", is very likely to be assigned to Pu Su's position in a confidential position. If it weren't for this, it would only be the Intelligence Department, and only these two departments would be the most compatible with his translation identity.

The four rooms are: Inspector's Office, Director Yang Jie, Deputy Director Wang Peiwen; Commissioner's Office, Director Shen Xinyi, Deputy Director Ji Qingren; interrogation room, director Wang Hanzhang; laboratory, director Yao Rennian, deputy director Yue Guanglie.

In addition, No. 76 also has an armament repair center, a detention center, a guest house, a police officer training class, a police dog training class, a female spy training class and other affiliated institutions.

These seemingly complicated departments actually have a very clear internal division of labor and have corresponding specific functions:

The first department, Director Wan Lilang, is mainly responsible for dealing with military commanders.

the second department, Director Hu Junhe, is responsible for dealing with the Central Union; The CP Unit was attached internally to deal with the Communist Party and the New Fourth Army.

The third department, Director Zhang Jinlu, dealt with the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army.

The fourth department, Director Panda, dealt with the concession.

In the Confidential Division, Director Fu Yewen is also Li Tuqun's brother-in-law, in charge of personnel, documents, archives, sending and receiving, etc.

General Affairs Office, Director Ye Yaoxian, he is Li Tuqun's brother-in-law, in charge of affairs, finance, and accounting.

Jin Hui, director of the Electric Affairs Department, was the person in charge of the captured military radio station, in charge of the radio station, and the sending and receiving of telegrams.

In the Intelligence Division, Director Tang Huimin is in charge of intelligence collection, editing, review, and guidance.

……

At first, not enough attention was paid to the establishment of No. 76.

In fact, it didn't take long for this secret service of stragglers and renegades to prove their "worth".

The people inside and outside the Shanghai Concession actively resisted Japan. Except for a small number of professional anti-Japanese elements of the military command, the Central Union, and the Chinese Communist Party, it can also be said that all other ordinary people are amateurs to resist Japan.

At that time, public opinion and newspapers all over Shanghai pointed the finger at Wang Wei. Not a single newspaper or public opinion expressed understanding or support for his traitorous behavior, and all of them were verbal and written criticisms, which made him embarrassed.

Moreover, as long as Wang Wei's operatives arrived in the concession, they often lost their lives quickly. The various squads and gangs were initially very active in their assassination operations.

So when Wang Wei carried out the follow-up operation, he attached great importance to the gunman of No. 76, and used the word "kill" to people with different people.

During that period, there were assassinations in Shanghai every day, sometimes several times a day, and the first area to bear the brunt of the assassinations was the concession. Both sides did their best to strangle each other in the concession.

It was only with the defeat of the Nationalist Government on the frontal battlefield that the anti-Japanese organizations that remained in Shanghai to carry out sabotage could only go underground. With the support of the occupying forces, the secret service No. 76 will inevitably have the upper hand.

Moreover, when an assassination incident occurred in the area under the jurisdiction of the concession authorities, it was bound to be ridiculed and held accountable by the Japanese military.

For example, they will order the concession to hand over the murderer and solve the case within a certain date, otherwise they will threaten them to send troops into the concession to protect their rights and interests......

As an emerging military empire in East Asia. In the face of the old world powers such as Britain, the United States and France, the Japanese did not disagree with them at all because of their successive military victories, and exerted strong pressure on the concession at all times in Shanghai.

He Guodu, the leader of the latent group who was shot dead by No. 76 in the suburbs, was handed over under pressure from the public concession.

What made the Nationalist Government even more angry was that in order to protect itself, the Public Concession once extradited to the Japanese military members of the Military Command Action Group who had been arrested after assassinating the Japanese on the Waibaidu Bridge.

In contrast, the French Concession has been more independent and closed than the Public Concession since its establishment. In addition, the boundary does not border Hongkou, and there is a public concession buffer in the middle, so the situation is much better.

……

When Pu Su met with Lao Ren in the evening, Lao Ren said that he had received a request for a guard.

At this time, No. 76 opened a blacklist of hundreds of people on the one hand, and sent people to lure the people on the blacklist on the other.

Many of them were cowardly and took the bait, or avoided going to the mainland, and those who did not take the bait were shot.

There are also many people who were assassinated by No. 76, who were not members of the party, government, and military circles at all, but only reporters in newspaper offices. The stance of the Shanghai newspapers has always been anti-Japanese and anti-Wang. It's just that the big newspapers have newspaper styles, and the expression of some attitudes is not so enjoyable.

When it came to a few evening newspapers published after 4 p.m., the news in them were not only exciting in headlines, but also spicy in content, so Shanghai also created a common saying: "If you are full of dinner at night, buy a night newspaper quickly." ”

During the period when Wang Wei was in full swing to prepare for his debut, various newspapers attacked the Wang faction very badly, and many scandals broke out, so Wang Wei hated him to the core.

The "sharpshooter" in No. 76 became the pioneer of the puppet government. Their initial assassination targets were those in the Kuomintang who had not retreated, and during that period the guns were pointed at people in the press.

Wang Wei's spies are really flexible. The blacklist is not kept secret, but is directly sent to the people on the list, and the purpose is naturally to let them measure it for themselves.

So the list spread quickly, including some newspaper offices on the list. Therefore, everyone raised their vigilance, built a defense at the entrance of the newspaper office, piled up sandbags, deep ditches and high fortifications, and some even installed large iron gates and barbed wire, as if facing a great enemy, and sent people to guard them day and night.

It's just that this kind of defense, even if it prevents the safety of the newspaper, those journalists can't protect it. Even if these reporters slept in the newspaper with their bedding, their families had already been investigated by No. 76 clearly, so the list of No. 76 was very psychologically deterrent to all walks of life.

Lao Ren is a little famous in the French Concession. Although he is usually not domineering, he is also swaggering, and he especially likes to save face. Therefore, several newspapers entrusted him to ask whether the patrol of the concession could strengthen the security defense.

At this time, the French Concession Board of Directors was already unable to protect itself, and it was naturally unwilling to wade into such troubled waters.

And the reason makes sense. They said that if a case occurred in the French Concession, they would definitely investigate it to the end, but it was nonsense to provide protection in advance, and there was no such service in the patrol room.

There is nothing to be done here. But those journalists knew that Lao Ren had some friendship with Belarus, so they retreated to the next best thing, wanting Lao Ren to come forward and find some Belarusian bodyguards to provide them with protection.

After Lao Ren finished speaking, Pu Su thought about it and asked him what newspapers he had. For the anti-Japanese cause, the power of the newspaper is not much worse than that of an army.

Political opinions and attitudes in newspapers can largely influence public opinion.

The people's attitude towards the war was either negative or positive, and the influence of the newspaper was very significant.

Most of the millions of people in the occupied areas and concessions could only learn about the situation in the newspapers. If it was true that the people who asked Lao Ren for help were progressive newspapers, he felt that he could not stand idly by.
