Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 1046 New Position

The next morning, Ye Shaohong accompanied Dai Yunong to meet with the bald-headed chairman.

He received high praise from the bald-headed chairman.

It is said that during this operation, Ye Shaohong also arranged for people to steal two classified documents from the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai.

When Chiang Kai-shek discovered that one of the documents contained a list of Japanese spies planted in the Nationalist government and the Northwest, he was even more delighted.

He stopped cursing and swearing.

Instead, in front of Ye Shaohong and Dai Yunong, he vigorously rubbed his bald head with his hands.

Hmm... It's quite bright.

This was Ye Shaohong's only thought.

As for any subsequent rewards, Ye Shaohong really didn't care much.

His current position within the Military Intelligence Bureau is essentially the point where he can no longer advance.

Even the bald-headed Chairman, the top official of the Nationalist government, knowing his extraordinary achievements, would not easily promote him to a higher military rank or position.

To put it bluntly, it's all about political balance.

In the current environment, the bald-headed Chairman must maintain Dai Yunong's absolute position within the Military Intelligence Bureau.

This is the general strategy, which concerns his overall plan.

It cannot be disobeyed.

The bald-headed chairman is a seasoned balancing act.

His tactical command ability was notoriously poor. A high-ranking military official in the Nationalist government once said privately that the bald-headed Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, was only capable of commanding a platoon at most.

Not even a little more.

But what's really frustrating is that he's a terrible player and likes to play the role of a micro-management master.

But it must be said that the bald-headed chairman's political struggle ability is absolutely enough to rank him among the top ten in Chinese history.

It's quite remarkable that someone with such poor military skills could nominally unify the Chinese land.

Even if it's just in name.

This is no exaggeration.

To give a simple example, let's say Ye Shaohong knows about it.

Why was the Secret Service established?

Was it because during his time at Whampoa Military Academy, Dai Yunong suffered from poor food, drink, and clothing, spending his days without pay, running around collecting intelligence for Chiang Kai-shek. Then, he would eagerly deliver the intelligence, trying to curry favor with Chiang Kai-shek?

Even during the two periods when the bald-headed chairman stepped down, Dai Yunong remained steadfast and stood by his side.

Did he do many dirty things for him that couldn't be made public?

No…….

None of these are correct.

The things Dai Yunong had done before were indeed able to win him the favor of the bald-headed chairman.

But given the bald-headed chairman's character and his political acumen, how could he possibly grant Dai Yunong authority and allow him to develop and expand an intelligence organization simply because he likes one person?

impossible.

Ultimately, it's all about maintaining balance.

So, who was the bald-headed chairman trying to balance by supporting Dai Yunong in establishing the Fuxing Society's Special Service Department? The Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Before the establishment of the Special Service, there were two main well-known intelligence agencies within the Nationalist government.

The Special Investigation Section and the Party Affairs Investigation Office of the Nanchang Headquarters.

Needless to say, the Special Investigation Section of the Nanchang Headquarters was an intelligence agency founded and led by the bald-headed Chairman's personal secretary.

Before Dai Yunong and the Special Service Department grew in strength, the Special Investigation Section of the Nanchang Headquarters was the bald-headed Chairman's prized possession.

It is the only intelligence agency under the control of the bald-headed Chairman.

A great deal of financial and material resources were invested.

But the Special Investigation Section of the Nanchang Headquarters and its superiors were incompetent. Despite investing a lot of money, manpower, and resources over several years, they failed to grow and expand.

They haven't achieved much.

Some things he did made the bald-headed chairman very frustrated and angry.

For example, in the airport fire case, the Special Investigation Section of the Nanchang Headquarters not only failed to uncover the truth, but also arbitrarily arranged for a scapegoat to shirk responsibility.

He was almost sent away by the bald-headed chairman.

at the same time.

The Party Affairs Investigation Department, which was established and led by Chen Shuangchen and the CC Clique, has been continuously growing and expanding.

It has grown so powerful that even the bald-headed chairman is wary of it.

Before the establishment of the Special Service Bureau, that is, before April 1, 1932, the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau, the predecessor of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, had already set up enough contact points and telegram receiving and sending agencies throughout the country and even in East Asian countries.

Very impressive.

It must be said here that Xu Enzeng wasn't actually that incompetent. He was just not as good as Dai Yunong.

Logically, with the establishment of the Party Affairs Investigation Department by the Nationalist government, the bald-headed Chairman should have been content.

But there's a special case here.

Although the two Chens were close confidants of the bald-headed chairman, Chen Qi, his sworn brother, had no nephews, he also provided a lot of help to the bald-headed chairman before he came to power.

He can be considered a meritorious official who helped the emperor rise to power.

But the bald-headed chairman and the two Chens are not related by blood, and Xu Enzeng is not a direct confidant of the bald-headed chairman.

There's the Chen Shuangchen group and the CC faction in between.

And the most important point.

That was one of the two Chens, namely the elder Chen, who was in charge of admissions when the Whampoa Military Academy was founded.

Moreover, he was in charge of all aspects of the project.

The instructors we know were only responsible for recruiting students for the Whampoa Military Academy in the Suzhou and Shanghai area at that time.

He is the leader of a small team.

Da Chen not only managed the admissions work of Whampoa Military Academy, but also the financial work of the Nationalist government at that time.

In this way, the Whampoa Military Academy, the core base of the bald-headed leader, is no longer just his personal base.

Taking advantage of their position in charge of admissions, the Chen brothers were also able to recruit talent within the Whampoa Military Academy and expand their own influence.

The talent pool at Whampoa Military Academy back then was incredibly impressive.

The Chen brothers, along with the CC Clique they controlled, held immense power over finances, intelligence agencies, and the admissions process for the Whampoa Military Academy.

Can the bald-headed chairman tolerate the birth of such a behemoth right under his nose?

Can we tolerate their growth and expansion? Of course not.

At the same time, the bald-headed Chairman also discovered that the Special Investigation Section of the Nanchang Headquarters was not effective and could not meet his demands.

I cannot do my best to serve him.

Under these circumstances, the bald-headed chairman, after much painful reflection, gave Dai Yunong an opportunity to establish a "ten-person group" within the Fuxing Society.

Later, based on the "Ten-Man Group", it expanded into the Special Service Department of the Fuxing Society.

Ultimately, it was through Dai Yunong's personal abilities and the kind of luck that makes him seem like a destined supporting character in a novel that he gradually grew and developed into the famous Military Intelligence Bureau.

Ultimately, it developed into one of the world's four major spy organizations during the Republic of China era.

Ultimately, it's all about the bald-headed chairman's balancing act.

The art of political maneuvering. It's all about self-interest.

Dai Yunong's current success is simply due to a confluence of favorable circumstances and favorable timing; he was riding the wave of opportunity.

And what about Ye Shaohong?

Even with a powerful background and achievements worthy of being remembered in history, as long as the bald-headed chairman doesn't have his own interests and doesn't give Ye Shaohong a chance, no matter how much Ye Shaohong tries to cause trouble, even if he is a transmigrator with luck no less than that of the protagonist of destiny, he will never be able to reach the highest level of the intelligence agency in his lifetime.

They had no chance to develop their power into a behemoth under the watchful eyes of the bald-headed chairman and Dai Yunong.

Ye Shaohong understood this clearly, which is why he was without desires or wants.

He takes his rewards very lightly.

Don't fight or grab.

When the bald-headed chairman asked him what he wanted, Ye Shaohong simply reported his subordinates' achievements. He didn't mention any requests of his own.

This pleased both the bald-headed Chairman and Dai Yunong.

After thinking it over, the bald-headed chairman couldn't bear to disappoint Ye Shaohong, nor could he explain it to the Ye family patriarch in this way. In the end, he wrote a stroke of his pen and gave Ye Shaohong a new position outside the secret service system.

Deputy Minister of Police.

Good guy.

Ye Shaohong was stunned when he heard about the appointment.

What's going on?

With a single stroke of his pen, the bald-headed chairman became, like Tang Cong, a subversive tycoon spanning two powerful and violent departments.

Did he completely achieve upward social mobility within the Nationalist government?

Should he also make some arrangements?
