Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

Ma Liang, who had not slept all the time, had been paying close attention to the development of the situation. Looking at the final telegram sent to all parties, Ma Liang smiled.

Playing word games here, there is a lot of flexibility in what does not violate principles and what are principles.

What does it mean to obey arrangements, rather than obey orders? It means giving those below them a vague authority, and they can listen or not.

But Ma Liang didn't care. He was not a fan of officials. He just needed to clear up the misunderstanding with the underground party.

This bombshell was quite a coincidence. If it weren't for the special envoy Ma Liang who founded the BAT company and really did something practical for the underground party, the higher-ups would have realized that Ma Liang had no ill intentions and was a decent person.

Otherwise, this incident of the real and fake special envoy would never have ended so easily.

With the latest endorsement from the Northwest Headquarters, Ma Liang became the highest-level special commissioner, and the fake salt became official salt.

After obtaining the evidence, Minister Gao immediately rushed to Wang Xingyun who was being interrogated.

"Wang Xingyun, stop resisting the investigation. The headquarters has admitted that there is no special commissioner you mentioned. The higher-ups have already determined the nature of your case. Your only way out now is to cooperate honestly."

"Now, in the entire base, no one can save you except me. As long as you give me the names of the "downline" you have developed and the names of the wavering elements who actively contacted you, I guarantee that you can survive."

All night long, Deputy Director Zhang tried to persuade Wang Xingyun to give up hope, and as soon as possible give out the information about his subordinates in the base and his superiors in Shanghai, and plead guilty and seek lenient treatment.

"Humph!"

The one who responds to Deputy Director Zhang is always Wang Xingyun's nostrils.

"Give Minister Wang some water. It's so late, he must be thirsty." Deputy Minister Zhang said in a natural tone, then turned his back and started smoking.

Two of his men understood immediately. One of them picked up the large wooden barrel beside him, and the other held the funnel.

"Stop!" an angry voice rang out.

Everyone in the room looked at the wide-open door. The door of the Political Review Office was kicked open again.

Deputy Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he became furious. Who was so bold as to kick my door at this time?

Do you think you're living too comfortably?

Before Deputy Director Zhang could turn around, a very familiar voice sounded:

Deputy Director Zhang, according to the military order, all your duties are suspended now. Return to the dormitory and wait for the next step of the military. "

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang was shocked and quickly turned around like a top, asking in disbelief:

"Minister Gao, the case of Japanese spy Wang Xingyun has reached a critical moment. As the main interrogator, I should be at my post. If I change people at this time, won't it give other hidden elements a chance to escape? Please report this to the military. I am most familiar with this case, and I should continue to try it. Don't worry, I will be impartial, put aside past grudges, and ensure that this case is investigated thoroughly and clearly. I will never wrongly accuse any good person, and I will never let any bad person go."

Deputy Director Zhang thought that his superiors were afraid that he would take the opportunity to retaliate and wanted to replace him with someone else in charge of the case.

Afraid that this great achievement that could help him improve would slip away, he quickly made the most sincere statement.

Minister Gao looked Minister Zhang up and down with a strange smile, his heart full of contempt and disdain.

Deputy Director Zhang thought that Minister Gao was thinking, so he tried to straighten his thin body and put on a firm posture, trying his best to let the leader see his attitude.

Minister Gao is also a wonderful person. He deliberately said slowly:

"The military is not saying that they must replace the person in charge of the review..."

"I promise·····"

Without waiting for the excited Deputy Director Zhang to say anything, Minister Gao looked at the several bowls of midnight snacks that Deputy Director Zhang and his team had asked the kitchen staff to prepare on the table. There were still a few pieces of fat meat and half a bowl of refined rice left. He suddenly said in a serious tone:

"After repeated verification by the headquarters, it was confirmed that the special commissioner did exist, and the military has ordered the immediate release of all those who were wrongly arrested. So naturally, there is no need for a person in charge of the review, my Deputy Director Zhang."

"What? Impossible!" Deputy Director Zhang shouted in a panic.

However, Minister Gao did not answer him. The two soldiers behind him sandwiched Deputy Director Zhang from the front and back.

Deputy Director Zhang's body suddenly became weak when he realized what was going to happen. The two soldiers who were prepared immediately reached out to support him.

Minister Gao quickly walked over to Wang Xingyun, who was wearing only one layer of clothing in the cold winter night. He unbuttoned his cotton coat, which still had body temperature, and put it on Wang Xingyun, while apologizing to him:

"Old Wang, you have suffered!"

Wang Xingyun smiled, and he was so cold that his upper and lower teeth were chattering. He tried hard for a while before saying:

"I said the special envoy couldn't be fake!"

"Oh!"

"become free!"

"Long live!"

"The superiors have sharp eyes!"

···········

As the military's orders continued to be conveyed, all the "suspects" detained in various places were released unconditionally. Under the huge psychological gap before and after, these people gathered together despite the cold and cheered.

"Ah! The soldiers are getting emotional!"

Minister Gao listened to the various discussions outside, muttering to himself with tears in his eyes.

Soon, the advice on how to deal with Deputy Director Zhang came down.

Deputy Director Zhang was demoted from a deputy director to an ordinary staff member of the Political Review Department, and received no other punishment.

Because from the perspective of work procedures, there was nothing wrong with Deputy Director Zhang's approach. He just brought personal emotions into his work and his working methods were a bit radical.

The superior, in the spirit of curing illness and saving lives, gave Deputy Director Zhang, a great intellectual who had studied abroad, a chance to reform himself.

But those who were retaliated against by Deputy Director Zhang would not think so.

If Deputy Director Zhang was previously recognized as a "unlucky guy", then after what happened even the soldiers in the kitchen squad were retaliated against by Deputy Director Zhang.

All the grassroots soldiers and cadres in the base regarded Deputy Director Zhang as a "disaster star", and no one was willing to talk to him anymore.

Even after seeing Deputy Director Zhang from afar on the road, everyone would rather take a detour half the way to avoid him.

Deputy Director Zhang established a base area where people hated and despised him.

Finally, one night a week later, Deputy Director Zhang, who realized that he would never have a chance to turn things around in the base, took advantage of the "advantage" that no one was willing to go with him and successfully escaped from the base and disappeared into the night.

This matter immediately attracted the base's high attention, and several search teams were dispatched to search for Deputy Director Zhang in every possible direction.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Deputy Director Zhang had been well prepared and left no traces at all, so all the search teams returned empty-handed.
