Ning Zhiheng's return trip was quite smooth, under Liu Ruichang's arrangement, Ning Zhiheng set off from Chongqing, made a detour to Changsha, and then took the transport convoy transporting smuggled goods and entered Jiangxi.

Along the way, in the territory of the Kuomintang region, the transport convoy was naturally unimpeded and no one dared to stop it, but when it was about to enter the Japanese occupation zone, all the personnel entered a state of alert.

Looking at the checkpoint set up by the Japanese army in the distance, Liu Ruichang stepped forward and reported: "Seat, the front is the checkpoint of the Japanese, and our strength is here, but don't worry, I sent a report to the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau before, and they have sent someone to pick you up, this channel is very safe, and there will be no problems." ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded, the various garrison checkpoints in the Japanese occupation zone have also been opened by Ishikawa Takeshi, and the transportation of goods has been very smooth these times.

At this time, a truck drove from a distance, and after a while, it came to a stop in front of the convoy, the door opened, and a young man jumped down from it, and ran quickly in front of Ning Zhiheng, it was Ning Zhiheng's subordinate Nian Zhe, who was also the person in charge of the transportation convoy.

"Stationmaster! You're back! I've been waiting for you here for two days now! Nian Zhe looked at Ning Zhiheng and said happily.

This time, the stationmaster left Shanghai for a long time, everyone was secretly worried, without the stationmaster in charge, everyone felt that the backbone was missing, and the entire intelligence station was in a state of nervous vigilance, but fortunately, the stationmaster finally returned.

Nian Zhe is also a descendant of Ning Zhiheng, who followed Ning Zhiheng from the Nanjing period, and later went to the front line in Shanghai, transferred to Pudong, and made contributions to the capture of mole Bai Xiangqi and Wu Anhe.

Like Sun Jiacheng, he was also promoted by Ning Zhiheng all the way from the big head soldier, and finally became a major officer of the Military Command Bureau, and he was also Ning Zhiheng's follower.

Ning Zhiheng looked at Nian Zhe and said with a smile: "It's still called the stationmaster, haven't you received the report from the headquarters?" ”

This time the headquarters was promoted, and the position transfers of various departments have been announced, and Nian Zhe was promoted to major officer this time.

"Report to the office, I'm used to it, and I can't change my mouth for a while!" Nian Zhe said with a grin.

This can't be blamed on Nian Zhe, Ning Zhiheng's position has changed frequently in the past two years, from the beginning of the action captain, the head of the operation team, the captain of the special service team, the head of the intelligence station, to the current director of the operation department, almost every once in a while, his subordinates have to change their titles, and even in the early days of the intelligence station, the team leader, the captain, and the station chief were mixed, and even Ning Zhiheng didn't bother to correct them, and agreed in a daze.

"Is there a problem with the checkpoints on the Japanese side?" Ning Zhiheng asked.

"Please rest assured, I guarantee that there is no problem, the first two trips were made by a Japanese named Hirao Daichi to negotiate with me, this person is very capable, as soon as the Japanese garrison saw him come forward, they immediately let them all go, and the next few transports were all by me, and everything went smoothly, and the vehicles of our trade line can now be unimpeded in the Japanese occupation zone."

Ning Zhiheng's Japanese identity is top secret, and only Zuo Rou and Yi Huaan know about it, and the others don't know even Huo Yueze, let alone the backbone of Nian Zhe's level, so he doesn't know that Hirao Daichi is the manager of the Fujiwara Club in Japan, and his immediate boss is the president of the Fujiwara Club.

His current task is limited to the transportation of goods, and as for other things, others are naturally responsible.

As for the traces of commerce between the Fujiwara Club and the two trading houses under the name of the Intelligence Bureau, Zuo Rou also passed through the accounts of several leather bag companies, turned a few corners, and erased them completely, and now only Nian Zhe is recognized at various checkpoints, as long as he comes forward, the Japanese garrison will be allowed to pass no matter what the name of the trading house is.

This is also for the sake of safety, to prevent being detected by the Japanese intelligence department or the anti-smuggling department, once there is a disturbance, it is only necessary to change the name of the trading house, change the soup but not the medicine, the transportation of smuggled goods can still be guaranteed, of course, this is only a means just in case, at present, neither the military police headquarters nor the special high school department can come to the Fujiwara Kaisha trouble.

The money for the smuggling transaction has been transferred to the Shanghai account through Citibank, and Liu Ruichang handed over the bill of exchange to Nian Zhe, and both parties signed and pledged it as evidence.

The two of them carried out the handover of goods again, in order to cover people's eyes, this time the transport convoy was loaded with some native products from the mainland of Central China and transported to Shanghai, after a set of strict handover procedures were completed, Nian Zhe led the convoy into the Japanese occupation zone.

Ning Zhiheng disguised himself as a truck driver and mixed in the transport convoy, and the convoy slowly entered the Japanese checkpoint, where the inspection was very strict, and the Japanese sergeants were heavily guarded with guns and live ammunition.

Seeing the convoy enter, the sergeants were about to get into the car to check, but were stopped by a Japanese officer on duty.

At this time, Nian Zhe, who was sitting in the first truck, jumped out of the car, stepped forward to say hello to the Japanese officer, handed the pass in his hand to the officer, and skillfully stuffed a stack of banknotes into the Japanese officer's pocket.

In this way, after entering the Japanese occupation zone, all the checkpoints are the same, as long as the officers on duty at the checkpoints see that it is Nian Zhe who comes forward, they are all exempted from inspection, of course, Nian Zhe will also give a little benefit fee appropriately, and the convoy smoothly entered the downtown area of Shanghai.

When the convoy safely entered the concession area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after four months, Ning Zhiheng finally returned to Shanghai.

After changing cars several times, he returned all the way back to the Tan Mansion, where all the main backbones of the intelligence department were waiting to welcome Ning Zhiheng's arrival.

Ning Zhiheng has been gone for such a long time, everyone is worried, the report of the headquarters is very clear, this time the stationmaster returned to the Wuhan headquarters to report on his work, and unexpectedly became the colonel of the operations department, this is the second ranking of the military control bureau of the operation department chief, and even Gu Zhengqi, Xiang Yan and other old agents are left behind, as if they are already a high-ranking high-level, and the ranking in the entire military control bureau is also the top few.

Everyone is speculating about the stationmaster, no, now that he is seated, it is very likely that he will not return to Shanghai to preside over the work, after all, the work of the headquarters is more important, and with Ning Zhiheng's status, he can no longer stay in Shanghai, a dangerous work behind enemy lines.

However, the entire Shanghai Intelligence Section was established by Ning Zhiheng, and every subordinate here was his old department, and Ning Zhiheng was their backbone, as soon as the news was announced, the people of the entire Intelligence Section were panicked, until they received a notice from the headquarters that Ning Zhiheng was about to return to Shanghai, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and I have to say that in a Japanese spy base camp with such a harsh fighting environment like Shanghai, without Ning Zhiheng's sitting, others would not have the confidence to persevere.

Zuo Rou saw Ning Zhiheng get out of the car, a few steps ahead, the first to meet him, Ning Zhiheng looked at Zuo Rou's surprised gaze, and was also happy in his heart, the two of them were separated for such a long time, naturally they were always missing, but there were many subordinates behind them, and under the eyes of everyone, they had to force themselves to hold back their emotions.

"You're finally back, why did you go for so long this time?" Zuo Rou whispered angrily.

"I didn't expect it, it was too sudden!" Holding Zuo Rou's hand, Ning Zhiheng explained in a low voice, "But after several twists and turns, I'm finally back!" ”

At this time, everyone greeted them, Ning Zhiheng smiled and signaled, and everyone entered the hall all the way.

Zuo Gang looked at the lack of people behind Ning Zhiheng, and was a little surprised, and asked out loud: "Seat, why didn't Lao Sun and Yongyi come back?" ”

When Ning Zhiheng left, none of the accompanying guards came back, not only Sun Jiacheng and Miao Yongyi, but even the team of action team members who took away, Ning Zhiheng also left them, after all, the two of them also needed some old subordinates who were comfortable at the headquarters.

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "They were all left at the headquarters and had other tasks, so I'm afraid that we won't be able to see them until you return to the headquarters in the future." ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, everyone knew that Sun Jiacheng was the first descendant to follow Ning Zhiheng and Ning Zhiheng's first confidant, and Miao Yongyi was Ning Zhiheng's brother who grew up together, and they were all Ning Zhiheng's closest people, but this time they were all left in the headquarters, and this time they didn't know why they were all left in the headquarters, but they knew that there were some things, and if Ning Zhiheng didn't explain, they couldn't ask again.

Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, and immediately convened the first meeting after the establishment of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau.

The intelligence station was formally reorganized into the Second Intelligence Section of the Second Operations Division of the Military Control Bureau, also known as the Shanghai Intelligence Section, and the section chief was Lieutenant Colonel Huo Yueze.

The Intelligence Section is divided into three intelligence groups, three operational groups, one transport group and one telecommunications group.

Ji Hongyi is the leader of the intelligence group, and he has always been Huo Yueze's deputy, mainly responsible for gang intelligence work.

Kang Xuezhi is the leader of the second intelligence group, this person is an intelligence master, but also a master of eavesdropping, the eavesdropping devices of various industries under the name of the intelligence department are arranged by him, and a lot of important information is also collected and sorted out by him, Ning Zhiheng attaches great importance to him, and has recounted his merits many times, in this promotion, he was finally promoted to the rank of major, he is mainly responsible for eavesdropping and collecting intelligence.

Shen Xiang is the head of Intelligence Group 3 and is responsible for all work in Hong Kong.

The leaders of the three action groups are Zuo Gang, Zuo Qiang, and Deng Zhihong.

The leader of the transportation team is naturally Nian Zhe, and his main job is to be responsible for the transportation of smuggled goods.

Zuo Rou, the head of the telecommunications team, and concurrently the director of the general affairs department, has changed his title, but there is no change in his work.

The positions of other staff members in the Intelligence Section have been upgraded accordingly.
