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

Chapter 108 Reorganizing the Special Service

Yu Manli eventually left.

Ye Shaohong personally saw her off, driving her directly to the entrance of the rouge shop. Only after watching Yu Manli open the door and go inside did Ye Shaohong feel relieved and start the car to leave.

Back in the Action Section, Ye Shaohong got busy again.

He began organizing the case files of the pocket camera case, reviewing the statements of all the suspects, and preparing to write the case closure report.

This is a necessary process.

Although Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian knew the whole story and all the details of the case, it was only they who knew it.

To reward those involved in the case, a case closure report is essential. This process is tedious, and Ye Shaohong was also suffering from a cold, so his physical and mental condition was not at its best. Therefore, he had not yet completed the case closure report until the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau was officially reorganized.

That's right.

After more than half a month of intensive preparations, the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was officially established in April 1937.

It follows the same trajectory as history.

After the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was established, it was still divided into three major departments.

The first division is responsible for Party affairs, and most of its core personnel come from the Party Affairs Investigation Section. The division chief is Xu Enzeng, a key member of the CC Clique.

The Second Division was responsible for national defense and security, and oversaw the military, police, and gendarmerie departments. Most of its core personnel came from the Lixingshe Special Service Division, and its director was Dai Yunong.

The third department oversees the national postal and telecommunications business. Most of its core personnel come from the Party Affairs Investigation Section, and the department head is Ding Mocun, a key member of the CC Clique.

That's right, it's Ding Mocun, who later betrayed his country and defected to the enemy, and then helped the Japanese establish the No. 76 Special Agent Organization in Shanghai.

In 1937, he was a trusted confidant of the Chen brothers, Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, and was an absolute high-ranking member of the CC Clique. He was also one of the three most prominent secret service leaders in front of Chiang Kai-shek.

After the establishment of the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the Nationalist government's intelligence agencies officially stepped out from the shadows and into the limelight.

The Second Division of the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, which was under Dai Yunong's leadership, also had the opportunity to expand and began to vigorously recruit unemployed people from society, opening training institutions in various places.

In order to cope with the increasingly severe domestic situation in the future, under the leadership of Dai Yunong, the original Special Service Department was dispersed and reorganized, and the initial structure of four offices, four departments and one committee was formally established.

The most powerful agency was the Secretariat, which had the following sections: Documents Section, Translation Section, Organization Section, and General Affairs Section. The head of the Secretariat was Zheng Jiemin, the former deputy director of the Special Service Department. In the reorganized Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau, this position was also known as the Chief of Staff, making him the second most important person in the Bureau.

After Zheng Jiemin was transferred to the Military Commission in 1939, Mao Renfeng took over this position.

The Inspection Office, Accounting Office, and Technical Office are the other three offices.

There were no clear divisions of duties in the four places; the only difference was the scope of their jurisdiction.

The first division consists of the Personnel Section, Transportation Section, Training Section, and Police Affairs Section.

The second division comprises the Military Affairs Section, the Political Affairs Section, and the International Affairs Section.

The third division consists of the Counter-Espionage Section, the Judicial Section, and the Special Agent Team.

The fourth section is divided into the Business Section, the Public Works Section, and the Investigation Section.

In addition to these four offices and four departments, Dai Yunong also prepared to establish a special department, the Design Committee. Its main function was similar to that of a military staff agency, used to help Dai Yunong design various infiltration plans, action plans, assassination plans, and so on. In this expansion and reorganization, Xu Baichuan also gained great benefits. He was officially transferred from the position of deputy head of the Special Service Department's Action Section to the position of head of the Second Division.

Zheng Yaoxian and all the members of his original Action Section Group were also transferred to the Second Division along with Xu Baichuan.

Zheng Yaoxian then took over as head of the military affairs department.

Under the military department, it was further divided into five action groups: the first group was led by Song Xiaoan, the second group by Zhao Jianzhi, the third group by Ye Shaohong, and so on.

The reorganization brought about a massive upheaval in the Special Service Department, with not only its personnel structure being upgraded but also many lower-ranking officers receiving rapid promotions. Ye Shaohong was a prime example of this.

From the time he graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy to the reorganization of the Special Service Department, he had only been on the job for a short two months.

However, his military rank has officially entered the captain's sequence.

He even became the head of a group of military officers.

With Dai Yunong's order, various local troops also began to draw on their elite personnel to reinforce the force. The number of people Ye Shaohong could directly command instantly swelled from more than thirty to more than one hundred.

In the Nationalist government's military order, he could be considered a reinforced company commander or a battalion commander in local forces.

There's no way around it; the military in this era is never fully staffed.

If this were in later generations, Ye Shaohong would at most be a company commander of an ordinary company.

The surprise came so suddenly that Ye Shaohong was caught off guard.

As promised to him by Dai Yunong and Xu Baichuan at the beginning, he would be promoted to captain of the first squad after the reorganization of the Special Service Department.

But no one expected that the Chairman's plan this time would be so grand and that it would bring so many benefits to the Special Service. In addition, at this time, special training classes such as the Qingpu Class, the Temporary Training Class, and the Sino-American Class shown in later TV dramas had not yet been established.

There wasn't even a trace of them. Currently, the only personnel in the Special Service Department who have truly received special agent training are those from the three earliest training programs: the Honggongci Special Training Class, the Zhejiang Provincial Police Academy Special Training Class, and the Nandu Youth Police Cadre Training Class.

With fewer talented people and more vacant positions, Ye Shaohong has an advantage.

The rocket's ascent was completed with great strides.

His department, the second branch, also moved entirely from No. 53 Ji'e Lane to No. 1 Honggongci Villa.

Although they are still the same operatives doing clandestine work, the authority and significance they wield have changed dramatically.

Sitting in his new office, looking at the furnishings around him and listening to the footsteps coming from outside the door, Ye Shaohong silently clenched his fists.

He succeeded.

At first, his departure from the military and joining the intelligence service puzzled many people.

His instructors and teachers at the Central Military Academy had also sighed in front of him about Ye Shaohong's future, saying that he had been reckless and that his future path was ruined.

Now Ye Shaohong has answered them with facts.

He won the bet.

From his wrongful imprisonment to his efforts to save himself, to his successive cracking of major Japanese spy cases and his planning to write the book "Wolf and Dog," Ye Shaohong's step-by-step strategy finally allowed him to realize his ambitions.

Now, a new story begins.

"The Second Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission, which was later known as the old Military Intelligence Bureau, will undergo another restructuring after the National Government moved to Chongqing in early 1938!"

"At that time, the Second Division will officially become independent and will be established as the Military Intelligence Bureau in the future!"

"That is, the so-called new Military Intelligence Bureau!"

"I don't have much time left. I need to accumulate enough merits before the Military Intelligence Bureau is officially established, so that I can achieve another leap in my position!" With this thought in mind, Ye Shaohong slowly opened the drawer in his office and took out a sealed document.

This folder contains a confession.

One piece of information he deliberately intercepted was intelligence that Yamaguchi Jiro, the Japanese spy who impersonated a Nationalist government soldier, confessed in order to save his life in the case of the pocket camera.

Information on a new Japanese spy team member lurking in Nanjing.

The whereabouts of a trail that is about to be exposed!
