Chapter 341 Promotion, New Position

The Chairman had made his point very clear, and Dai Yunong was no fool; he immediately understood the reason.

He has also been paying close attention to the crisis in North China.

After orchestrating the establishment of Manchukuo, Doiyuu Kenji was promoted from head of the Special Higher Police Section in Manchuria to the rank of Major General, while also taking charge of intelligence work in Manchuria.

Having tasted success, Tufeiyuan Xian'er wanted to imitate him and attempted to build a "new country" in North China.

Therefore, he secretly contacted Duan Qirui, the former Beiyang warlord and Zhili clique leader.

He wanted to persuade Duan Qirui to follow the example of the last emperor and establish a new state in North China, further dividing the territory of China.

As a result, Tufeiyuan Xian'er's plan failed. Apart from Mao Zedong, who certainly had character flaws, most of the Beiyang warlords still retained some backbone when it came to national interests.

Faced with the threats and inducements from the Japanese devils, Duan Qirui firmly refused.

Seeing that his plan had failed, Doi Madoka turned his attention to Zhang Jingyao, hoping that Zhang would step forward and establish a "new country" in North China.

This led to Chen Gongshu's assassination of the traitor Zhang Jingyao at the Six Nations Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane.

This was also Dai Yunong's greatest achievement after the establishment of the Special Service Department.

The Japanese invaders never gave up their desire to destroy China and subsequently carried out many small-scale operations, all of which were thwarted by the secret service and patriotic individuals.

In addition, the Nationalist government continued to deploy large numbers of troops to North China, which gradually led to a stalemate between the two forces.

Now that Chiang Kai-shek has brought up the situation in North China again, Dai Yunong is well aware of the gravity of the situation. He immediately had an idea.

"Principal, do you mean the Japanese are preparing to take action in East China?"

As soon as he uttered those few words, Dai Yunong felt a heavy weight in his heart, and an indescribable fear filled his mind.

"Based on intelligence from various sources, there are signs of this."

"It has been almost six years since the Japanese invaders began occupying our three northeastern provinces on September 18, 1931."

"For six years, they have been seizing the wealth and resources of the three northeastern provinces to strengthen their military forces, and now they are almost ready."

"Their ambitions are quickly becoming uncontrollable."

Even someone in Chiang Kai-shek's position would find the current situation in North China quite troublesome.

He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose, and his gaze fell on the telegram that Dai Yunong had delivered that day on the desk. On a whim, he quickly found a book in the corner of the desk.

After opening it, I quickly flipped through a few pages and finally found the content inside.

"Based on the current situation between China and Japan, it is not difficult to make a bold judgment that the Japanese invaders may launch an attack on North China in the summer of 1937..."

The Chairman read the passage aloud in a low voice, and after he finished, the expression on his face became even more interesting.

"When I first read Shao Hong's book, 'Wolf and Dog,' I found his bold speculations somewhat absurd. But now I see that his deductions are basically correct."

Dai Yunong also saw the Chairman's actions.

He naturally saw the book that the Chairman had found and looked at the cover.

Wolves and dogs.

Isn't this the manuscript written by Ye Shaohong? Dai Yunong also did not expect that the Chairman would place this book on his desk, and judging from the way the pages of the book were turned, the Chairman must have read this book many times.

Upon hearing what the Chairman had just read out, Dai Yunong was once again shaken.

"He really guessed right?"

"Is this a coincidence?"

Whether it was a coincidence or not, just from the importance the Chairman attached to this book, and just from the fact that the book's content was basically correct, Dai Yunong knew one thing.

Ye Shaohong may be young, with a low military rank and position, but he is not.

But he had already entered the Chairman's heart.

He became a junior colleague valued by the Chairman.

With the Chairman's attention, Ye Shaohong has gradually grown to a point where even he can no longer easily ignore him. He will need to give Ye Shaohong more consideration when dealing with issues related to him in the future.

“Principal, if I remember correctly, Shao Hong did not give a specific time for the start of the war in his book ‘Wolf and Dog’.”

"However, he gave the final result."

"According to Shao Hong, the Japanese invaders might use extremely despicable methods to suddenly attack our troops stationed in North China. Shouldn't we take precautions?"

Dai Yunong spoke cautiously, because he couldn't be sure whether the things recorded in Ye Shaohong's book would actually happen.

Given his current status and position, he cannot easily make a decision on something that is impossible to determine.

We can only offer a slight reminder.

"Prevention?"

“We should indeed take precautions.” “Here’s what we’ll do, Yu Nong. Later, you can arrange for several hundred more copies of ‘Wolf and Dog’ to be printed overnight and sent to North China by special plane.”

"At the same time, we reminded the troops stationed in North China to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese invaders."

"And your Special Service Division should also pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese invaders in North China, closely monitor the activities of the Kwantung Army, and monitor the movements of the Japanese invaders' weapons, money, and supplies in Manchuria."

"Even if this war is unavoidable, we can reduce a lot of losses if we are prepared."

After a moment's thought, the Chairman decided to take the risk. No matter how fantastical the situation was, or whether anyone was willing to believe it, it was always good to be prepared.

"Yes!"

"I will arrange it immediately."

Dai Yunong raised his hand in salute and accepted the task without hesitation. The Chairman nodded, holding the book about wolves and dogs in his hand, the pages of which were already worn and frayed from being read so many times. He tapped the table with his hand and suddenly asked a question.

"What is Shao Hong's military rank and position now?"

The Chairman's sudden remark startled Dai Yunong slightly, but he did not hesitate and immediately gave a reply.

"Reporting to the principal, Shao Hong is now the deputy stationmaster of Jiangcheng Station, with the rank of captain."

"Captain?"

"A bit low."

“We shouldn’t worry too much about talented people. We should promote them when they deserve it. Besides, Shao Hong just made another contribution. It’s a good opportunity to reward him.”

"I will personally sign the order later to promote him to the rank of major. As for the deputy station chief of Jiangcheng Station, to be honest, he is not quite worthy of his abilities."

"Shanghai!" "Let him prepare and handle the affairs at Jiangcheng Station, then let him go directly to Shanghai."

"If the Japanese invaders really make a move in North China, the situation in Shanghai will also become tense, and the situation there is very complicated. I need a capable person to go to Shanghai to help us break through the situation."

"As for his position, the Shanghai station is a Class A major station of the Special Service Department. The station chief is usually a colonel, which is enough to rank him among the top five in your Special Service Department. He is young and inexperienced. It would be difficult to arrange for him to be assigned to the Shanghai station with his rank."

"Let him lead an action team on his own for now. Procedurally, he'll be under the Shanghai station, but not under its control. He'll be directly led by you. You need to arrange the personnel, funding, and weapons for him. Once he gets to Shanghai, have him clean up those traitors and collaborators there as quickly as possible, and while he's at it, dig out those Japanese spies who are hiding there too!"
