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

Chapter 1063 Tragic

Ye Shaohong's order to the Jellyfish Assassination Group this time was somewhat overstepping his authority.

Even if the jellyfish assassination team is an externally deployed unit.

However, Ye Shaohong did not have the right to arbitrarily mobilize the Jellyfish Assassination Team in Jinling.

the reason is simple.

With Wang Jingwei's complete defection and betrayal of the country, Chiang Kai-shek's hatred and murderous intent towards him had reached their peak.

They wished they could deal with Wang the traitor immediately.

The Jellyfish Assassination Group, based on its past achievements, has also won the trust of Dai Yunong and the Bald Chairman.

Otherwise, given that the Jellyfish Assassination Group had been lying in wait in Nanjing for over a year, any other covert operation would likely have been investigated and held accountable long ago.

But Ye Shaohong did not regret it.

Even if this matter is eventually exposed, and it displeases Dai Yunong and the bald-headed chairman, he will do everything in his power to avenge General Zhang.

Ye Shaohong was even mentally prepared to be brutally beaten by the bald-headed chairman.

Ok.

With the outbreak of Ye Shaohong's Hundred-Army Battle and the victorious conclusion of the Winter Offensive, it has become commonplace for Ye Shaohong to enter and leave the bald-headed Chairman's mansion.

He could also participate in the highest decision-making of the Nationalist government to some extent.

Even if it's just playing a supporting role.

Even if he could only listen in and not express his own opinions, Ye Shaohong had indeed risen to a high position in the National Government.

As a result, he began to frequently see the bald-headed chairman cursing and waving his cane at people.

On one occasion, he even witnessed Xu Enzeng, the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, being brutally beaten with a cane by the bald-headed Chairman.

Xu Enzeng was beaten so badly that he was lying on the ground, only able to cover his head with his hands.

They didn't even dare to scream or wail.

It was quite enjoyable.

However, this put Ye Shaohong in a terrible position, as he almost became a shield for high-ranking officials of the National Government on several occasions.

The most despicable one was the eldest son of the Kong family. He was clearly the bald-headed chairman's brother-in-law, practically a brother to him, yet when faced with the bald-headed chairman's brutal beating with his cane, the eldest son of the Kong family not only dared not resist, but also dragged Ye Shaohong along to take the blame.

That time, Ye Shaohong was caught in the crossfire. Even though he hadn't done anything wrong, he was still hit several times with the bald-headed chairman's walking stick.

It is precisely because of these experiences that Ye Shaohong has now given up.

He stopped hitting the bald-headed chairman with a stick, showing his growing resistance.

Whatever.

Come on, do whatever you want.

Since I can't resist it anyway, I might as well close my eyes and enjoy it.

Fortunately, while Ye Shaohong was shielding high-ranking officials from disaster, he also gained something in return.

He became acquainted with those bigwigs in the Nationalist government.

I also built up some connections.

Ye Shaohong was young, handsome, and dashing—gifts bestowed upon him by God, which made it easy for him to win the favor of others.

Dai Yunong's thin, monkey-like face could never achieve this.

After issuing the telegram, Ye Shaohong stopped paying attention to the matter altogether.

He believed that since the task had been handed over to Chi Tiecheng and Su Wenqian, the two of them would definitely give him a satisfactory explanation.

Just wait for good news.

Meanwhile, time passed, and it was already autumn of 1940.

Ye Shaohong was indeed quite busy that year.

He constantly traveled among the various training classes of the Military Intelligence Bureau, selecting outstanding graduates from them.

They were given suitable identities and sent to various parts of the country to rebuild stations damaged by the Battle of the Hundred Divisions.

Even so, it's still not enough.

With the strong support of Dai Yunong's massive embezzlement, the Military Intelligence Bureau now has a very comprehensive training system.

Almost every few months, a new batch of talent is brought in.

However, in the areas extensively occupied by the Japanese, these newly trained students were simply not enough to meet the demand.

It's not about how much demand there is in different regions.

Rather, the struggle was too brutal.

Often, as soon as Ye Shaohong assigned a new batch of men to various occupied areas, they would be subjected to searches and sabotage by the Japanese as soon as they settled in.

The most tragic case involved a group of newly graduated students assigned to Shandong Province. They had barely stepped off the train and hadn't even had a chance to report to their superiors when they were all betrayed and killed in action.

He died a very unjust death.

Ye Shaohong once compiled statistics.

In just one year, he assigned more than a thousand trainees to various training programs across the country.

However, by the autumn of 1940, more than 600 of the more than 1,000 students who graduated from the training class had died at the hands of the Japanese or traitors.

How heroic!

At first, Ye Shaohong found it hard to accept this situation.

I feel somewhat uneasy.

Very uncomfortable.

After all, those were human lives, all of which he ultimately sent to the front lines of death. But as time passed, he gradually adapted.

That's cruel, isn't it?

But this is the reality. During the eight-year War of Resistance against Japan, the total number of personnel registered with the Military Intelligence Bureau who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield was more than 10,000.

Most of them perished in enemy-occupied territories.

They accepted the mission assigned by the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters, which required them to carry out assassination missions in the occupied areas against the Japanese army's key infrastructure, important military facilities, important military and political officials, and traitors of all ranks.

These tasks are all very dangerous.

Almost every operation results in personnel losses.

The worst-hit areas were Shanghai.

In the short span of a year, from the end of 1939 to the autumn of 1940, the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau had been destroyed three times, directly and indirectly, by the enemy. From the station chief down to the ordinary intelligence officers and operatives, the station had been replaced more than once.

It can be said that the losses were severe.

Shanghai happens to be the largest city in the Far East, an economic capital, and a city of spies.

No matter what, and for whatever reason, the Military Intelligence Bureau cannot be easily abandoned.

no way.

Whenever the Shanghai station was destroyed or severely damaged, the headquarters in Chongqing would immediately organize its reconstruction.

What if we don't have enough manpower?

Very simple.

They directly drew personnel from the Loyal and Patriotic Army, which was active in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions and fighting guerrilla warfare against the Japanese.

Even if those people were just transferred to Shanghai yesterday and died tomorrow, Dai Yunong and Ye Shaohong gritted their teeth, hardened their hearts, and continued to send reinforcements to Shanghai.

It was through this spirit of constant sacrifice that the Military Intelligence Bureau managed to gain a foothold on the increasingly fierce intelligence war front.

They fought fiercely against the Special Higher Police, the Military Police Headquarters, the Special Service Department of the Wang Jingwei regime's Suppression Headquarters, and the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters in Shanghai.

There is give and take.

And miraculously, they persevered.

Until a telegram was sent from the Japanese mainland back to the headquarters in the mountain city, and then forwarded to Ye Shaohong by Mao Renfeng.

Ye Shaohong burst into a long laugh, something he rarely did.

He finally saw hope for victory in the War of Resistance against Japan...
