Chapter 488: Back to the City (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Seeing that the seat was angry, Gu Zhengqi hurriedly replied: "Seat, Wang Hanmin, you don't know, how dare he disobey your order, it's just that Wang Hanmin wants to apply for a batch of funds to rebuild the intelligence station in Shanghai this time, but this matter has not been resolved, so it didn't happen!" ”
"Funding? Didn't you approve a grant for him? Why, is it because the Finance Section does not allocate funds? Or is he Wang Hanmin too little? He said with an ugly face.
Since the huge government system was hastily relocated from Nanjing to Wuhan, many things have been a mess, military and government affairs have not been smoothed out for a while, coupled with the government's internal and external troubles, economic conditions are not well-off, the financial situation is chaotic, funds are scarce, the Ministry of Finance has used all the limited funds to purchase military supplies, and the supply of other aspects has been somewhat unable to keep up.
That is to say, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department is a privileged department, and its financial resources are still relatively abundant and can operate normally, while many other reorganized departments cannot even solve the problem of office space, and more than a dozen people are crammed into one office, and they are struggling to survive everywhere.
This time, Wang Hanmin knew that he was going to Shanghai to take up his post, which was the base camp of the Japanese, and if he wanted to safely set up an intelligence station under the noses of the Japanese, he would have to settle his agents alone, and this amount of money would be indispensable.
The stronghold that Zheng Hongbo left behind before must be unusable, and must be rearranged, as well as future activity funds, and this series of intelligence activities requires a lot of financial support.
The Finance Department gave him an allocation of 50,000 US dollars, although it was already a lot, but he knew that if he didn't get enough this time, he wouldn't know if he would wait until the Year of the Monkey for the next application, so he made up his mind that he must bring enough funds for the event before leaving, and he has been arguing with the Finance Department for the past few days, saying that this money is not enough at all, and it will cost at least 100,000 US dollars! The stalemate between the two sides lasted for five days.
When he heard Gu Zhengqi's narration, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and he said coldly: "Isn't there only fifty people in the first batch, and it will cost 100,000 US dollars to settle this person?" Now it's not as good as half a year ago, which department didn't tighten its belt to get by, when Ning Zhiheng set up the intelligence station, I didn't give a penny, but you see now, in just half a year, he not only set up the intelligence station, bombed the warehouse to remove traitors, but also had the spare energy to meddle in the intelligence market, and spent a lot of money to buy so much important information, in comparison, this is the gap, does he Wang Hanmin want to be the eldest young master? ”
Before the Battle of Songhu, the country's economic situation tended to be stable, and there was still a certain amount of economic strength, and the Military Intelligence Investigation Office still had the ability to provide sufficient funds for the activities of the various substations, but now it had to be discounted to a certain extent.
Even the Shanghai intelligence station, which has the most outstanding performance, is very tight in the allocation of activity funds, and the department clearly knows that Ning Zhiheng has purchased intelligence many times, and the intelligence station must have spent a lot of money, but it is a bottomless pit, and he is powerless to solve it, Ning Zhiheng's several applications for some additional activity funds have not received a satisfactory answer, and now they are completely self-raising to support the whole situation.
Hearing that Ning Zhiheng came out to compare with Wang Hanmin, Gu Zhengqi and Bian Ze couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
Now in the mind of the seat, Ning Zhiheng has become a ruler, he hopes that his subordinates can be as good as Ning Zhiheng, but how is this possible, the seat clearly knows that this is unrealistic, but he still can't help but think about this aspect, so he always feels that other subordinates are not performing well, which also makes these people cry out for this!
Wang Hanmin and Gu Zhengqi have always had a good personal relationship, and he didn't dare to ask for the activity funds, so he poured bitter water on Gu Zhengqi several times, the meaning was obvious, just to want Gu Zhengqi to say a few words for himself.
It seems that he must come forward to say a few good words for Wang Hanmin, otherwise he is afraid that Wang Hanmin will suffer some hardships, Gu Zhengqi took a step forward and said cautiously: "Seat, the situation in Shanghai is really difficult now, especially behind enemy lines, some necessary facilities are still to be available, such as agency headquarters, arms and guns, footholds and safe houses, etc., these are all money!" If you want to start from scratch and build an intelligence station, the cost will inevitably be indispensable, this time Wang Hanmin wants to take some more, and he also wants to do a good job, otherwise he will be tied up and difficult to perform when he gets there, to be honest, partnering with Ning Zhiheng is a very stressful thing for anyone! ”
Gu Zhengqi's words made his heart move, although he knew that Wang Hanmin would not be able to compare with Ning Zhiheng even if he went to Shanghai, but if he really showed something, he could also curb Ning Zhiheng's momentum a little, after all, Shanghai Station was too important!
In the end, the seat finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, just as he wants, give him this money, let him set off soon, this time Zheng Hongbo missed, originally with Ning Zhiheng's performance, it was natural to take over the stationmaster, but I cheekily shoehorned Wang Hanmin over, and forced Ning Zhiheng's momentum, Huang Xianzheng was already a little dissatisfied, I hope Wang Hanmin lives up to my expectations, can perform at work, and earn a little face for me to come back."
I don't expect him to become a dragon or a tiger, but at least he must become a dog and a horse, don't become a pig, you go to see him in person and tell him what I mean! ”
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Gu Zhengqi hurriedly agreed.
He turned his head to Bian Ze and ordered: "You should also prepare, set off immediately, bring more capable men, our strength is too little in Guangzhou, you should be careful!" ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it, I'll leave today!" Bian Ze replied that he has outstanding ability, he is not only the most trusted confidant here, but also the most powerful assistant, and generally where something goes wrong, it is handled by Bian Ze, so he has long been mentally prepared.
"I'm going to be sorry for you again! It's a pity that Ning Zhiheng is not at the headquarters, otherwise with his ability to act, these things would not need you to do! The seat couldn't help but say with some emotion.
At the beginning, there were major mistakes in Hangzhou Station and Shanghai Station one after another, he sent Ning Zhiheng to deal with them, and they were all done very beautifully, not only assassinated Kawamoto Kurashi in Hangzhou, but also wiped out the Japanese underground intelligence network in the entire Hangzhou area, and in Shanghai he infiltrated the enemy area alone, and simply and neatly solved the three traitors of the Military Intelligence Department headed by Yu Li, and also killed more than ten Japanese agents, and finally retreated, which is enough to prove Ning Zhiheng's ability to act.
Bian Ze naturally knew what he was thinking, and he also nodded and said: "Zuoza, in fact, have you ever thought that it is better to transfer Zhiheng back to the headquarters, his ability is too outstanding, staying in Shanghai is only afraid that he will not be able to fall into the tail, or staying in the headquarters to deal with some tricky things, this is the best arrangement!" ”
Hearing this, he shook his head and said: "Now I'm afraid that even if I want him to come back, Huang Xianzheng can't agree, and Ning Zhiheng's intelligence station is all his manpower, if I come hard, I won't be able to take over the command, and besides, I don't want to fight with Huang Xianzheng anymore!" ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You know, the people behind him are now supporting him, and we can't take advantage!" ”
At this time, Gu Zhengqi's eyes lit up on the side, and he whispered: "Seat, I have an idea!" ”
"You say!"
"Huang Xianzheng didn't agree to Ning Zhiheng to return to the headquarters, that's just that we don't have enough chips, our military intelligence department is about to be promoted to the Military Intelligence Bureau, all departments must be upgraded to the next level, and the institutions and personnel must also be expanded, the Baoding Department will definitely grab this cake, anyway, we have to give, we can make more concessions, the condition is to transfer Ning Zhiheng back to the headquarters, otherwise Shanghai, just count on Wang Hanmin, we can't get involved at all!"
Hearing this, his heart moved, he thought for a moment, but it was difficult to make up his mind, and finally he had to wave his hand and say: "Let's discuss this matter later, you go to the headquarters first, I will go to the headquarters immediately, report this information to the leader, and ask him to mobilize troops to cooperate with our actions!" ”
"Yes!" The two men replied in unison, and exited the office.
Ning Zhiheng stayed in Shanghai for a few days, until everything was dealt with, he personally met with the nine new members, and warmly encouraged, informing them to officially join the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, and began to restore the status of officers of the national army, lurking in the Shanghai Youth Gang, and serving the country again!
This is something they have been thinking about and looking forward to day and night, and the nine team members were all excited at that time.
The drugs arriving in Hong Kong were sold out by the merchants in the concession area through their own trading houses, and the profits quadrupled, far exceeding Ning Zhiheng's previous estimates, and this huge income made the intelligence station's tight activity funds finally resolved, and it is conceivable that this smuggling route will continue to earn a huge amount of wealth for the intelligence station in the future, and will become the most important profit channel in Ning Zhiheng's hands.
Evacuated from Zheng Hongbo, Ning Zhiheng waited for Wang Hanmin in the French Concession for fifteen days, after all, Wang Hanmin is the new stationmaster of Shanghai Station, Ning Zhiheng's nominal boss, basic respect still has to be shown, and there must be a communication channel between the two people, just like Zheng Hongbo before, so that they can be contacted in time in case of emergency.
But I don't know why, Wang Hanmin didn't go to Shanghai for a long time, so Ning Zhi Hengkong waited for a long time, and in Jiangbei City, he also has a lot of work to do, and there are many things to deal with, he can't stay in the French Concession for too long, he really can't wait!
Ning Zhiheng arranged the work, Huo Yueze still presided over the work of the intelligence station, Zuo Rou sat in the Tan Mansion, and used the radio to contact him if he had something.
Finally, Ning Zhiheng left the concession and entered the urban area of Jiangbei again.
