Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After hearing Zhang Wenwu's question, Boss Dai also said with a wry smile: "Suspended, and it seems that he will be sent to work in the embassy of another country."

Zhang Wenwu was also stunned when he heard the result. There was real evidence that Huang Sheng was in contact with Japanese spies, but this was the result? It can be said that this was equivalent to no treatment at all.

Boss Dai also saw Zhang Wenwu's confusion, so he explained: "There is no way. His father Huang Jun in the Executive Yuan assured the person above that Huang Sheng was only pursuing Liao Yaquan and did not know that Liao Yaquan was a Japanese spy. He did not reveal any confidential information to the Japanese spies. The Wang Ergui behind the Executive Yuan also personally came forward to protect him. The person above could only give Wang Ergui this face."

Zhang Wenwu understood that Mr. Wang from the Executive Yuan must have made concessions to the person above on certain matters, which resulted in this treatment of Huang Sheng.

To put it bluntly, Huang Sheng is just a bargaining chip for the man above to suppress his opponent. When the benefits gained by the man above are greater than those of Huang Sheng, the spy, it is a suitable deal and everything can be exchanged.

"What about the others? Did the Japanese spy speak out? What about Liao Yaquan?" Zhang Wenwu knew that Huang Sheng's affairs were not something he could control, so he inquired about the situations of the others.

When talking about other people, Director Dai was obviously in a better mood. He said to Zhang Wenwu, "Niu Aman, Lu Cheng, Xu Sheng from Jinling Prison and Li Bailing from Jinling Court will be executed by firing squad. The Supreme Court will make a verdict in a few days. Zhou Heng and those who betrayed the country will be handed over to the Supreme Court for judgment after the interrogation. Basically, they will be shot. The captured Japanese spy who passed the message refused to speak. The Japanese Embassy has already put pressure on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to release this Japanese. As for Liao Yaquan, she admitted that she had contact with Li Bailing, but she only said that an unknown person asked her to find Li Bailing to rescue him. As for other things, she denied everything."

"Then the National Government will not release that Japanese spy and Liao Yaquan, right?" Zhang Wenwu asked a little uncertainly. He finally understood that anything is possible in the National Government.

"It's impossible to release them. We have sufficient evidence in our hands. Even if they are not executed, they will be detained forever." Director Dai snorted coldly. If all the Japanese were released, wouldn't his work be in vain? Besides, the people above would not release them either. The actions of the Japanese this time were completely in defiance of the people above.

After hearing that the National Government would not release the Japanese, Zhang Wenwu felt a little better. He had been busy for so long, and finally all the Japanese spies he caught were released. He would be speechless.

"Commander Dai, this case has been completed. I am ready to return to the army to report on my work. Thank you, Director Dai, for your guidance and care during this period." Zhang Wenwu directly proposed to Director Dai about returning to his original unit. He felt that the case had been completed and he must return to the army.

Moreover, he himself did not want to work in the Investigation Department, and he was not suitable for spy work. As for the appearance of an insider who tipped off the Japanese, there was no evidence at present who did it. Anyone in the meeting room of the man above that day could have been the insider. Moreover, such high-level insiders usually did not pass on any information. It was difficult to catch them without a long investigation. He did not have that much time to play hide-and-seek with them.

He should take advantage of the fact that a full-scale war has not yet broken out between China and Japan and bring back as many useful supplies as possible for the troops. Compared to the work in the Investigation Bureau, he prefers life in the army more.

When Boss Dai heard Zhang Wenwu say that he wanted to return to the army, he had no choice but to agree. Although he really wanted to keep Zhang Wenwu in the Investigation Department to help him, he also knew that this was almost impossible unless Zhang Wenwu himself was willing to stay.

After Zhang Wenwu came out of Boss Dai's office, he went to the General Affairs Department to hand in the keys to the car. At the same time, Boss Dai just approved him 3,000 yuan in French francs as a bonus for this mission. At the same time, Boss Dai told Zhang Wenwu that he would be formally rewarded after the case was completely closed. As for the documents of the Investigation Office, Boss Dai asked Zhang Wenwu to keep them for himself and not to hand them in. This way, an implicit connection could be maintained between the Investigation Office and Zhang Wenwu.

Zhang Wenwu returned to his office in the Investigation Department and called Chief of Staff Zhao Dong of the 102nd Division to report that he had completed his assistance work in the Investigation Department and was ready to return to the 102nd Division. During the call, Chief of Staff Zhao Dong very sympathetically said that Zhang Wenwu could rest in Jinling City for two days before returning to the army to report.

Zhang Wenwu was lying on the sofa in his eldest brother's house eating an apple. After returning from the investigation office yesterday, Zhang Wenwu planned to rest for two days in his eldest brother's house before returning to the army. He also felt that he should take a rest. He had been too busy during this period and had basically not had any rest.

After eating the apple, Zhang Wenwu thought of Huo Guoguang at the military warehouse, so he picked up the phone and called him. He wanted to ask him if there was any progress.

"Quartermaster Huo? I'm Zhang Wenwu from the 102nd Division. Yes, I'm in Jinling City, right? Tomorrow, no problem, no problem, I'll treat you to dinner. Okay, you're welcome. It's my duty." Zhang Wenwu hung up the phone with Huo Guoguang in a good mood. Just now, Huo Guoguang had asked Zhang Wenwu to have lunch together tomorrow at noon, saying that things were basically ready. This made him have great expectations for tomorrow's meeting.

The next day at noon, Zhang Wenwu arrived at the restaurant where he had made an appointment with Huo Guoguang. He had to wait for him because he needed help. He had to be humble. After waiting for less than 30 minutes, Huo Guoguang walked into the restaurant in casual clothes.

"Brother Huo, this way." When Zhang Wenwu saw Huo Guoguang, he quickly stood up and called him over.

"Oh, Brother Zhang, thank you for waiting here. I'm sorry for being late." As soon as Huo Guoguang sat down at the dining table, he spoke politely.

"No, no, Brother Huo, you are too polite. It's only 11:50 now. According to the agreed time, you are still early. Haha." Zhang Wenwu said quickly with a smile.

The two of them ate and chatted for a while, then Zhang Wenwu asked, "Brother Huo, you said on the phone yesterday that things were basically okay, what did you mean? I've been worried lately."

After hearing what Zhang Wenwu said, Huo Guoguang put down his chopsticks, moved closer to Zhang Wenwu and whispered, "Brother Zhang, I have been helping you find a suitable opportunity for some time. I just found a way these two days, and it just so happened that you called me."

Huo Guoguang picked up a cigarette, and Zhang Wenwu quickly helped him light it. Huo Guoguang took a puff of the cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, it's also luck. I was in charge of checking the inventory some time ago, and I accidentally found a batch of ammunition in stock. Then a batch of Han-made firearms were shipped from the factory two days ago. If you are interested, I can get some for you."

When Zhang Wenwu heard this, he immediately understood that the ammunition in stock, to put it simply, was a batch of ammunition that had been taken away but not actually taken away. For example, Zhang Wenwu obtained 50,000 rounds of ammunition from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, but Zhang Wenwu took the withdrawal slip to the commissary depot and agreed with the people at the commissary depot that he would only take 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and the remaining 10,000 rounds of ammunition would be left in the commissary depot. The commissary depot would then sell the collected ammunition together and everyone would share the money.

This is what most quartermasters do, and it's how they make money. As for the audit? I do the accounting myself, who can audit it? Besides, bullets are consumables, right? If you have the guts, go pick up the shells on the ground and check with me.

At that moment, Zhang Wenwu told Huo Guoguang that he could take all the stock of ammunition, and it depended on how many Han-made firearms Huo Guoguang could get for him, and he would take them all.

Finally, after bargaining between the two, Zhang Wenwu bought 102 million rounds of bullets from Huo Guoguang for yuan of French francs. He exchanged the old or broken rifles that had been eliminated by his own troops for newly manufactured Han-made rifles. Huo Guoguang was responsible for arranging vehicles to deliver these arms from the warehouse to the headquarters of the nd Division, and also gave away five light Han-made light machine guns.

Both of them were very happy with the meal. Zhang Wenwu finally wanted Huo Guoguang to get some mortars or artillery, but Huo Guoguang made it clear that such heavy equipment was not easy to get, and the warehouse would not have these weapons in stock. Zhang Wenwu had to give up after hearing this.

Before leaving, the two agreed that on the afternoon of the third day, Huo Guoguang would personally escort the arms to the 102nd Division Headquarters to make the handover with Zhang Wenwu. Zhang Wenwu also said that he would definitely reward Huo Guoguang for his care when the time comes.

After returning to his eldest brother's house, Zhang Wenwu said hello to his sister-in-law, said he had to rush back to the army for something, and then hurried to the Jinling Railway Station, bought a train ticket for the nearest train to Zhenjiang City, and then took the train back to Zhenjiang City. He needed to hurry back to prepare for the purchase of arms.

When Zhang Wenwu arrived at the 102nd Division Headquarters in Zhenjiang City, it was already : in the afternoon. Zhang Wenwu went straight to the Chief of Staff Zhao Dong and reported to him that Huo Guoguang was going to transport a batch of arms in three days.

When Zhao Dong saw Zhang Wenwu coming back just now, he was wondering why this guy came back so soon. Didn't he say that he could rest for a few more days? After listening to Zhang Wenwu's report, he immediately became excited. He immediately asked Zhang Wenwu to prepare to receive weapons and ammunition, and he went to find Division Commander Huang Jinxian to discuss and report the matter.

Zhang Wenwu immediately returned to the Quartermaster Department and asked Lei Dong to prepare the money in advance, and then asked him to notify the troops below to send some old and broken firearms to the Quartermaster Department so that they could be exchanged with Huo Guoguang.

After all, after Huo Guoguang took these broken guns back and refurbished them a little, he was going to distribute them to other miscellaneous troops or something. He also needed to keep the warehouse accounts good. As for the miscellaneous troops, it was not a problem at all. It was good enough to give you guns. Besides, he had a hundred reasons to explain.

(How do you feel about returning to the army?)
