December 24, 1938, Shanghai Tang

Tang Yi, as usual, came to the Gu Mansion early in the morning, and after being respectfully invited into the restaurant by the old housekeeper, he found Gu Hongliang sitting in the restaurant with a newspaper.

"Virtuous son-in-law, come, come, sit." Gu Hongliang saw Tang Yi come in and said with a smile.

"Yes." Tang Yi sat down opposite Gu Hongliang honestly.

Gu Hongliang put down the newspaper, looked at Tang Yi and said, "I heard Jun Qiao say that your Investigation Department has integrated with the Zodiac Society and 76 into the secret service headquarters?" ”

"Yes." Tang Yi replied respectfully.

"Oh? Is the new appointment of the virtuous son-in-law down? Gu Hongliang asked.

Tang Yi replied, "Come down, temporary deputy director." ”

Gu Hongliang frowned when he heard this.

"Who's the Director?" Gu Hongliang asked again.

"It's Zhou Mingrui." Tang Yi replied.

Gu Hongliang pursed his lips, obviously very dissatisfied with this appointment, only to see him slowly speak: "This Zhou Mingrui is a stumbling block in your career.... He relies on his qualifications, as long as there is no big mistake, he is likely to keep pressing you, and the virtuous son-in-law is poorly qualified! ”

Tang Yi nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the son-in-law thinks that being the deputy director is better than the director." ”

"Oh? Why? Gu Hongliang became interested.

A smile appeared at the corner of Tang Yi's mouth, and he said with some incomprehensibility: "You see, now, this new secret service headquarters is nominally established to support the new national government, but the actual control is in the hands of the Japanese military police command. ”

Hearing this, Gu Hongliang nodded and motioned for Tang Yi to continue.

And Wang Zhaoming is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, can he be willing to let the new government's secret service be controlled by the Japanese? Moreover, the Japanese have made it clear in their support for the independence of the "new government" in the Konoe Three Principles. Tang Yi continued.

Gu Hongliang was an old fox, and when he heard this, he already roughly understood what Tang Yi meant.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Hongliang took over and said: "Is the virtuous son-in-law saying that sooner or later, the Japanese of this secret service headquarters will be completely returned to the new national government?" ”

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Do you think, even if the gendarmerie headquarters is unwilling to pay it back, can Wang Zhaoming be willing?" As long as Wang Zhaoming reaches an agreement with the Japanese government, will the military police command dare to stop it? ”

Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi said: "When that time comes, will Wang Zhaoming still use the director elected by the Japanese?" If not, who would be the first choice? ”

Gu Hongliang completely understood, he laughed and said, "When the time comes, you can only choose someone who has the ability to control the secret service headquarters and support the new government!" ”

"When the time comes, I only need a gentle push from the forces within the new government, and I will be sure of this director!" Tang Yi said confidently.

"Hahahaha, the virtuous son-in-law is clever! Don't worry, tomorrow Wang Zhaoming asked me to go to No. 31 Yuyuan Road to talk in detail, I am also the Minister of Economy of the new national government, and I will definitely push the virtuous son-in-law fiercely when the time comes! Gu Hongliang said excitedly.

The reason why Gu Hongliang was so excited was because he had already seen the bright future of the Gu and Tang families, one was in charge of the economy of the new government, and the other was in charge of the general secret service of the new government.

It can even be said that half of Wang Zhaoming's country will belong to the Gu and Tang families!

"What are you talking about? Laughing so happily. At this time, Gu Junqiao's voice came from the door of the restaurant.

"Haha, my good daughter, in the future, our two families will become a new big family!" Gu Hongliang has never hidden political things from his smart and capable eldest daughter.

Gu Junqiao didn't say anything when he heard this, but just sat next to Tang Yi and said lightly, "Oh? Tell me how you became a new big family. ”

......

When Tang Yi and Gu Junqiao came to the place, it was already half past eight, because they had been chatting at the dinner table for so long that they were both late.

But it's nothing, Tang Yi and Gu Junqiao are late, not to mention Zhou Mingrui, even if Tanaka knows about it, he won't say anything.

After sending Gu Junqiao to the office of the telecommunications team, Tang Yi just went downstairs to the third floor, and happened to meet Ah Qi standing at the door of his office.

"Azie, what's wrong?" Tang Yi asked.

Ah Qi hurriedly walked to Tang Yi's side and said respectfully, "Director Zhou, please go." ”

"Okay, I got it." Tang Yi said.

Tang Yi came to Zhou Mingrui's office, pulled over the chair with a big thorn, sat opposite Zhou Mingrui and asked, "What's wrong?" Mr. Director. ”

"Brother Don't call me that! What's the point of talking to each other like that? Zhou Mingrui said with a smile.

"Hehe, then you can say something!" Tang Yi smiled and said nonchalantly.

Zhou Mingrui straightened his face, took out a list and put it on the desk, and pushed it in front of Tang Yi with a finger.

Tang Yi took the list and shook it lightly, and looked at it carefully.

"Confidential Division, Director Li Shiqun."

"Special Operations Division, Director Chang Yuqing."

"Investigation Division, Director Feng Yi."

"Intelligence Division, Director Gu Junqiao."

"Investigation and investigation, Director Xiang Qingming."

"Operations Division, Director Xiang Jie."

"Security Department, Director Yang Hong."

"Logistics Department, Director Qian Kaitai"

After reading the list, Tang Yi looked at Zhou Mingrui with some surprise and asked, "Feng Yi??" How can this kid become the head of the Investigation Division? ”

Zhou Mingrui also shook his head and said, "How can I not be surprised, this was arranged by the Japanese themselves." ”

"Why?" Tang Yi asked.

"I asked Tanaka Dazuo, and according to him, this time Wang Zhaoming and others were able to successfully escape from Chongqing, and this Feng Yi has made a great contribution!" Zhou Mingrui replied.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Mingrui said: "However, this time I handed over the establishment of ten departments, and only eight were approved. ”

Tang Yi immediately became happy when he heard this, and said, "Eight are you still not satisfied? I was thinking that the Japanese would come down with a maximum of six! ”

Zhou Mingrui sighed and said: "I don't know that eight of them are already considered generous to the Japanese, but if you look at the ones that are really in the hands of you and my brother, how many places are there?" ”

Tang Yi said with a serious face when he heard this: "Feng Yi doesn't count, the Investigation Department, the Intelligence Department, and the Operations Department are in our hands, and the Confidential Department, the Logistics Department, and the Security Department are in the hands of Ding and Li. ”

Zhou Mingrui took over and said: "You see, the three pairs of three Tianzhong play a good balance, this Chang Yuqing seems to have the smallest power, but the power of the Special Operations Department is great, as for this Feng Yi......"

"Obviously, this Feng Yi was sent by the Japanese to supervise our tripartite forces." Tang Yi said.

Then Tang Yi said: "Don't mention these things first, will the office location and other things be arranged first?" ”

Zhou Mingrui nodded and replied: "The original No. 76 Daxi Road was completely abandoned, and all of them were transferred to No. 76 Jisfeier Road for office, and after all the personnel of our investigation department were separated according to the establishment, they were all transferred to No. 76 Jisfeier Road." ”

Then he said: "As for our current old office in Nancheng, it will be reserved for Chang Yuqing's Special Operations Office. ”

"When will the transfer begin?" Tang Yi asked.

Tanaka Daisa's meaning is to wait for "Wang" and his party to finish their trip to Shanghai and fly to Nanjing when they officially transfer. Zhou Mingrui replied.

Tang Yi nodded when he heard this, and said: "Tanaka's abacus is really good, it is just stuck in time, it should be calculated to let the secret service headquarters open together with Nanjing." ”
