Ryuji Katsuta was completely immersed in this huge surprise and lingered for a long time before leaving this high-class villa.

The next day, he personally came to the Fujiwara Club to visit Ning Zhiheng, and the two of them talked very happily, especially when Ryuji Katsuta saw that Ning Zhiheng's office was hanging in the middle of the calligraphy and painting given to Ning Zhiheng by General Junpei Uehara, his attitude was even more humble, and repeatedly invited Ning Zhiheng to come on the day of housewarming, and Ning Zhiheng was naturally full of promises.

A few days later, in the office of Taro Sagawa, the head of the Special High School Division, Shinya Takeshita, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was standing respectfully in front of Taro Sagawa.

Looking at Shinya Takeshita, who was slightly weak, Taro Sagawa had an amiable expression, he motioned for Shinya Takeshita to sit down on the side, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Takeshita-kun, how is your body recovering now?" ”

Shinya Takeshita hurriedly replied: "There is no major problem now, the doctor said that I am still young and resilient, and I have agreed to be discharged from the hospital to recuperate, as long as I don't exercise vigorously, there will be no problem!" ”

Sagawa Taro nodded, and then said: "Takeshita-kun, your body has not fully recovered, you must be careful, this time you sacrificed your life to protect Mr. Otani, and made a great contribution, after our application, Commander Tada specially proposed a commendation, and promoted you to a captain, and I hope you will work harder, don't live up to our expectations!" ”

Shinya Takeshita couldn't help but be overjoyed, although he had already learned some news from his teacher Akihito Akita, but the section leader Taro Sagawa officially announced his promotion, and his heart was firmly settled.

"Hi Yi, thank you Takeshita for your cultivation, I will do my best and I will never live up to your expectations and Mr. Otani's expectations!" Shinya Takeshita hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully.

This time his commendation was indeed an exceptional promotion, and his military rank was promoted by two levels in a row, from a small second lieutenant to a lieutenant at once, which is unimaginable for ordinary agents, and only agents who have made special and significant contributions can obtain it.

The establishment of the Special High School was originally only an intelligence department subordinate to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it only had a position but no military rank, but with the needs of Japan's invasion of China and the Far East, the Japanese government began to gradually change the functions of the Special High School.

The strength of the military gradually became apparent, and the military department also began to take over the command of the special high school and naturalized it into its own military system, and every time the Japanese army occupied a place, it would set up a special high school class, and its members collected all kinds of valuable information for the Japanese army and cooperated with the Japanese army in combat.

The military rank of the head of the special high school section varies according to the scale and rank, and the Shanghai special high school is the command center of the special high school in East China, so the military rank of the section chief Taro Sagawa is very high, and it is the rank of the big one.

The head of the intelligence team, Imai Yushi, has the rank of Nakasa, and the intelligence captains under his command, such as Akihito Akita, have the rank of Shaosa.

And when Shinya Takeshita first joined the special high class, because the special high class is a special intelligence department and has special preferential treatment, he was directly given the rank of warrant officer, and later because of the lurking in Pudong, he was meritorious in cooperating with the enemy behind the enemy, coupled with the operation of the teacher Akita Akihito, after the Battle of Songhu, he was quickly promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

This time, because of the great contribution made by escorting Otani Hitoki, after Otani Hitoki's special care, he was promoted two levels at once, and in just one year, he was promoted to captain, which is simply a rocket-like speed, which is really envious of others.

is his old rival Iwai Nosuke, who has worked hard in the special high school for many years, but he only survived to the rank of lieutenant.

For Takeshita Shinya's arrangement, Sagawa Taro also took a lot of thought, after he accepted Otani Renxi's entrustment, he deliberately learned about Takeshita Shinya's situation, only then did he know that this young man was the group of personnel specially recruited before the war, and he had not received any agent training at all, especially this Takeshita Shinya's performance was not good, usually with the care of the teacher Akita Akihito, he didn't even go out in the field, and he stayed in the agency to eat and drink, and his life was very leisurely, which made Sagawa Taro couldn't help but be angry and laughing, There are still such lazy goods among his subordinates!

But he was lucky and got Mr. Otani's attention, and promotion was necessary, but he really couldn't be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and in the end he could only make up for it in terms of military rank, because his ability was too poor and he was not suitable for transfer elsewhere, so he still belonged to his teacher Akita Akihito.

"Takeshita-kun, in view of your excellent Chinese, I have decided to hand over the liaison work of the newly formed Special Agent Investigation Office to you as well, and in the future, their daily work reports will be handed over to you to summarize, and then report directly to Team Leader Imai!" Taro Sagawa then commanded.

It turned out that in the more than a month since Shinya Takeshita was hospitalized, the Shanghai Special Agent Investigation Department, which the section chief Taro Sagawa had been preparing for the establishment of, had also been formed.

This investigation department is mainly responsible for cracking all kinds of major criminal cases in the downtown area of Shanghai, especially criminal cases involving enemy forces, as well as inspecting the smuggling of controlled materials and monitoring some anti-Japanese figures in Shanghai.

These used to be the work of the intelligence group of the special high section, but now that the Japanese occupy more and more areas, central China urgently needs a large number of special agents, just in Nanjing alone, a large number of special high class agents were transferred, and then there is the Anhui region and the next Wuhan front, in short, now the Shanghai special high section personnel are seriously insufficient, and now they have to requisition Chinese to help them maintain normal work operations.

Sagawa Taro had been prepared for this for a long time, and the new department had been being prepared, recruiting many local youth gang disciples and local ruffians, as well as some young people who had nothing to live on, and then reorganized the Chinese stragglers and agents who had surrendered before to form a special service department with a number of about 300 people.

The chief of the Detective Division is Wen Hao, a veteran agent of the former Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, who was the first to defect to the enemy, and the deputy director is Cui Guangqi, the head of the intelligence station action team of the former Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

But after all, these two people were Chinese who had surrendered, and the Japanese did not fully trust them, and in order to supervise their actions, their management work was entrusted to the head of the intelligence team, Imai Yushi.

However, with the expansion of the Japanese occupation zone, more and more special high schools were established in various places, and the work of Yushi Imai, the head of the team in charge of intelligence work, became more and more busy, and the work at hand was simply too busy.

So a liaison officer position was arranged, this position was just to reduce the workload of Imai Yushi, and it didn't require a lot of experience as a special agent, just a simple document summary and report, which even an ordinary staff member could be qualified for.

In fact, it is also a position tailor-made by Taro Sagawa for Shinya Takeshita, otherwise a captain will be idle all day long, and he will have no qualifications in the future, how can he be promoted? If you don't get promoted, Mr. Ohtani will ask in the future, this Shinya Takeshita is still a small captain-level officer, how can he explain it, once Mr. Ohtani misunderstands and thinks that he has neglected his entrustment, it will be too wronged!

"Takeshita-kun, the work of this position is not very difficult, if there is anything you don't understand, you have to ask the Imai team leader for instructions, of course, you can also ask me directly, I hope you work harder, don't let me down, and don't let Mr. Otani down!" Taro Sagawa said solemnly.

"Hey!" Shinya Takeshita replied respectfully.

After exiting the section leader's office, Shinya Takeshita was so excited that he hurried to Akihito Akita's office and reported the good news to the teacher.

In fact, a few days ago, Akita Akihito already knew the good news in advance, and now the appointment has finally been announced, Akita Akihito is also very happy, he has been quite worried about this student, Takeshita Shinya's ability to act is too poor, and he is Taiwanese, and it is almost difficult to develop in the special high school, but the peak turns around, I didn't expect Takeshita Shinya to have such an opportunity, and he was exceptionally promoted in less than a year, and the future development is even more promising, of course, he is sincerely happy for him.

The teacher and student talked for a long time, and Akita Akihito taught Takeshita Shinya carefully, and because of the promotion, Takeshita Shinya also had his own separate office, which was arranged next to Akita's office.

"Teacher, I heard that this guy Iwai has also been promoted?" Shinya Takeshita asked Akihito Akita.

"It's a promotion, after all, the trapping operation was successful, and Cui Guangqi was also arrested, which is a great achievement." Akihito Akita nodded and said.

"But this time he was self-defeating, and Section Chief Sagawa was very dissatisfied with him for almost injuring Mr. Hitoshi Ohtani and almost encumbering the special high class, and yesterday, the section chief transferred him to the action team as the captain!"

"Transferred to the squad?" Shinya Takeshita asked in surprise.

Generally in the intelligence department, it is natural to focus on intelligence, and in the special high school class, the position of the head of the intelligence team, Imai Yushi, is only under the section chief Taro Sagawa, and his subordinates are directly in charge of the intelligence team and the action team, and the intelligence team is responsible for the main responsibilities, but the action team is reduced to the role of laying hands and listening to commands.

Of course, in China's Military Intelligence Investigation Department, it is because of the anomaly of Ning Zhiheng that the Operations Section overrides the Intelligence Section, but this is only a special case.

Iwai Nosuke was transferred to the head of the operation team, although his position was promoted on the surface, but his military rank was not promoted, and his position was not as good as before in the intelligence team, because he no longer had the opportunity to contact classified information and participate in the detection of espionage cases, and it would be difficult to have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, so he could only obey the instructions of the intelligence department and was completely reduced to the field service.

"This guy is also a hug, he used to always make trouble for me, but now he can be regarded as having clean ears!" Shinya Takeshita gloated.

"Iwai is a talent, but bad luck!" Akita Akihito is also quite emotional, although Iwai Nosuke is very selfish, he is indeed an excellent agent, and it is a pity to be put in the action team.
