Chapter 955: Changes in Nanjing (seeking a monthly ticket)
The bureau chief continued: "Everyone knows the situation in Shanghai now. Wang Hanmin's surrender to the enemy led to the annihilation of two brigades of the National Salvation Army. The intelligence network he led was also exposed, and there was also the Shanghai station!
He was very familiar with everything about the Shanghai station. He built all of them. Moreover, under the surveillance of Agent No. 76, all of them were exposed. So even if the Shanghai station personnel escaped temporarily this time, according to our principle of action, these people could no longer stay in Shanghai to work and would all withdraw.
It can be said that our current operational force in Shanghai is empty, but during this period, our attack on the pseudo-government cannot be stopped. This is an order issued by the Commission to me personally, so we must send new personnel to Shanghai again and reorganize the Shanghai station as soon as possible."
The words of the bureau made everyone speechless. At this time, Shanghai was a fire pit. Not only was the extremely harsh struggle environment, but the first task he faced was to engage in cruel agent wars with the No. 76 Agent Headquarters. No matter who was sent, it was definitely a fatal job.
Huang Xianzheng and Ning Zhiheng were confident that since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Bureau, both sides have made clear their attitudes. The Baoding Group will never interfere in the operation of the Shanghai Station and is only responsible for collecting intelligence and material transportation, so they have no say in this matter.
I’m afraid the bureau chief didn’t expect that the struggle in Shanghai would be so difficult, right? Especially the pseudo-government actually ran to Shanghai, which made the situation in Shanghai more complicated. It has now become the most cruel and most severely affected area for the military bureau struggle.
The senior cadres who fell in Shanghai can tell everything. Zheng Hongbo, the former Shanghai station manager, and Duan Tiecheng, deputy director of the Intelligence Department, are still eating steamed buns in the prison of the Military Affairs Bureau! Not to mention Wang Hanmin now!
Ning Zhiheng himself knew his family affairs. Although he was strong in Shanghai, if he rushed to the front line, it would be difficult to guarantee that something would happen, so he kept silent about this and did not say a word.
The work of intelligence stations in various places has always been carried out by the intelligence department. Director Bian Ze had nodded and said, "I will immediately dispatch effective operation personnel to take over the work of Shanghai station, but the candidate for the station manager..."
The bureau chief is also a headache for this matter. The Shanghai station is so important, of course, he has to send his own direct troops to take control. However, the situation in Shanghai is extremely difficult now. Although there are many direct troops, there are not many who are truly capable of dealing with such a situation.
Seeing that the director was hesitant, Bian Ze suddenly had his eyes lit up. He couldn't help but say, "Director, can you consider Zheng Hongbo?"
As soon as this said, everyone was stunned. Zheng Hongbo? Isn’t this person still in prison now?
Bian Ze naturally made up his plan. Zheng Hongbo was his friend and old subordinate for many years. Since he was imprisoned, he pleaded with the bureau several times to release him, but the bureau did not agree. This time it was finally an opportunity. Taking advantage of the dangers of the Shanghai station situation, he was ordered to be appointed to serve as the Shanghai station again and serve as the stationmaster of the Shanghai station for the rest of his life.
He continued: "Zheng Hongbo is smart and capable. He has worked in Shanghai for many years and is very familiar with the situation in Shanghai. Now the situation in Shanghai is difficult, so he can make meritorious service when he is punished, but I don't know..."
"no!"
Before he could finish his words, the bureau chief vetoed, "In that operation, many people surrendered to the enemy, with more than 30 people. Now he is on No. 76 and sent him to Shanghai. Once he is recognized, isn't Wang Hanmin's lesson enough?"
After saying that, he glared at Bianze sternly. He knew that Bianze wanted to take this opportunity to save Zheng Hongbo from prison, but this must not come at the cost of the safety of the Shanghai station.
In fact, as soon as Bian Ze said that, he felt a little regretful. He valued affection and loyalty and treated his brothers sincerely, so he suddenly thought of Zheng Hongbo, but he quickly realized that this proposal was obviously inappropriate.
Seeing the stern eyes of the bureau, Bian Ze was immediately frightened and sweated. He felt nervous and said quickly: "It's all my fault, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense!"
Seeing that the subordinates of the bureau chief were all depressed, the others naturally did not dare to say more. The bureau chief exhaled and thought for a while, and finally said, "I think, let Chen Hongchi, deputy director of Peking Station, be transferred to the Shanghai station, be the stationmaster. This person is a good player in action and can play his strengths. The backbone personnel can also be assigned from the Beijing station to choose himself. Other personnel are selected by the headquarters. They have to choose some good players in action. No. 76 is a difficult bone to crack."
The bureau chief made the decision, and the others naturally nodded without saying a word, but the bureau chief continued, "The staff at the Shanghai station must be withdrawn as soon as possible. Zhiheng, it will be arranged by your intelligence department. Is there no problem?"
Ning Zhiheng thought for a while and asked hesitantly: "Where to retreat? If you just retreat to southern Jiangsu and hand it over to the National Salvation Army, then there will be no problem, but it will be difficult elsewhere."
"Of course, I will withdraw to southern Jiangsu. I will explain in detail to you after that. We must hurry up and stay in Shanghai. If they stay in Shanghai, the more one more day, the more danger it will be!
"Yes, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
The major discussion has been decided, and the meeting has ended. Ning Zhiheng and Huang Xianzheng returned to Huang Xianzheng's office together.
When the two of them closed the door, Huang Xianzheng couldn't help but sneer and said, "This is just shooting himself in the foot. I remember that he tried his best to kick us away from Shanghai, but what about it? Now it has become a bottomless pit. How many people have filled in? I'm still obsessed with it. If I continue to take care of this, Chen Hongchi won't last long. You have to be clear and keep a distance from this person. Don't put us in!"
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, to be honest, it's not easy for the bureau chief. He dares to disobey his orders when he presses him to take action? But the current situation in Shanghai is indeed dangerous. I am really worried. I think I'd just take this opportunity to go back now."
"Go back now?" Huang Xianzheng hesitated. He had indeed hoped that Ning Zhiheng would go back early to preside over the work and avoid the upcoming internal sanctions, but now he doesn't want to let Ning Zhiheng go back so soon.
"Shanghai is too dangerous now! Otherwise, it is difficult to estimate how much damage Wang Hanmin's surrender to the enemy will be. We cannot be sure how much he knows. If you are involved, it will be bad!"
Ning Zhiheng said disrespectfully: "This is okay. On the contrary, if I rushed back earlier, I could still control the situation. Otherwise, my subordinates would be too dispersed and each would fight, and they would not be able to play a role."
Huang Xianzheng knew what Ning Zhiheng meant, and he also knew that Ning Zhiheng had many trump cards, not just one Shanghai Intelligence Department. If he went back, he could integrate the resources in his hands and control the situation.
He couldn't help asking again, "Are you sure there is no impact?"
"Don't worry, Wang Hanmin and I met once. At that time, he asked me to help and rescue his telecommunications chief. I finally rescued the person through the Japanese military police headquarters. Fortunately, with the energy of No. 76, they could not find the military military police headquarters. However, this matter was a leak after all, and I would go back as soon as possible to prepare to plug the loophole."
Huang Xianzheng nodded slowly and agreed, "Tomorrow, I will go to talk about this with him tomorrow and ask you to rush back to Shanghai as soon as possible. In fact, I see that he is in a state of turmoil now, and it may not be impossible to let you go back. It's just that there are too many people just now, so he can't explain it clearly."
Ning Zhiheng said: "When the director talked to me last night, he also revealed a little meaning. However, I was afraid that he would hand over the mess in Shanghai to me, so I didn't answer him. Fortunately, now with Chen Hongchi, you will probably not have a big problem if you talk about it tomorrow."
The two of them made their own plans and planned to negotiate with the bureau chief tomorrow, but what they didn't expect was that they didn't wait until tomorrow. That night, the bureau chief called Ning Zhiheng again and urgently summoned Ning Zhiheng to the headquarters office.
Ning Zhiheng did not dare to neglect, so after receiving the call, he rushed over as quickly as possible. As soon as he entered the office, he saw the bureau director walking around the room with his hands behind his back.
The director turned his head and saw Ning Zhiheng coming in. His face turned ashen, his eyes were ashen, and his forehead was full of blue veins. This look made Ning Zhiheng's heart tremble. This was the first time he saw the director's fierce expression, and he was also a little surprised and puzzled for a moment.
"Can you get in touch with Wang Hanmin in the inside line of No. 76?" The director said in a ruthless tone!
Ning Zhiheng didn't know what happened, but he was very keenly aware that the matter was definitely related to Wang Hanmin. Could it be that something went wrong in Shanghai?
He replied carefully: "It is difficult to get in touch with. His status belongs to a middle-level cadre. Wang Hanmin's arrest was discovered by some signs, but he did not know the specific arrested person, otherwise we would not have been allowed to confirm our whereabouts. What happened to the bureau?
A trace of disappointment flashed across the face of the director, and he let out a sigh of reluctance. He spoke word by word: "Nanjing is over!"
"What?" Ning Zhiheng exclaimed, "What's going on? How could it be Nanjing?"
He thought there was another problem in Shanghai, but why did he transfer to Nanjing all of a sudden? And the problem was so serious?
The bureau chief continued: "Just this morning, all members of Nanjing Station were attacked, more than 100 people were killed and arrested, only the stationmaster Gu Jinlong escaped, and no one of my secrets was spared. One of my secrets was also exposed. The entire Nanjing Station was wiped out, Wang Hanmin, Wang Hanmin again! This bastard! Traitor! Scum!"
