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

Chapter 993 Split

Upon returning to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters in Luojiawan, a mountain town, Ye Shaohong dismissed Li Yunlong and his men.

Everyone went back to rest.

In addition, all personnel involved in the case were given three days of leave.

After finishing this matter, Ye Shaohong went into the office building.

They went straight to Dai Yunong's door and knocked.

After meeting.

Ye Shaohong then submitted the case closure report that he had just drafted that day.

After carefully examining the item, Dai Yunong frowned slightly.

Clearly, this old fox also noticed something amiss in the case report.

However, Dai Yunong was very clever.

Upon noticing something amiss, he simply raised his head and glanced at Ye Shaohong, only to see that Ye Shaohong remained calm.

Since he showed no intention of explaining, Dai Yunong suppressed his doubts.

I didn't ask any further questions.

Finally, Dai Yunong simply asked a few questions, then picked up his pen and signed his name.

This report will then be archived first, and then two copies will be made.

One copy was sent to the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and the other to the Attendant's Office.

This case is now completely closed.

There was no need for Ye Shaohong to get involved in these matters anymore. After understanding the case, Dai Yunong told Ye Shaohong about what had happened in the Military Intelligence Bureau during his absence.

First of all, the latest training course is about to graduate.

This time, there were more than 300 people.

Apart from the personnel allocated to headquarters according to the predetermined quota, most of the remaining personnel will be assigned to various local stations.

There are personnel quotas in both the occupied zone and the defended zone.

As the highest-ranking officer of the external office, Ye Shaohong also had to take on this task.

They were responsible for selecting elite personnel from the latest training course to supplement the staff of various occupied areas.

That's quite a project.

After all, the files of undercover agents need to be rewritten, and they need to be given false identities.

Different numbers of personnel should be allocated based on individual circumstances and the specific situation of stations in occupied areas.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about Shanghai.

Because of the brutal nature of the intelligence battles in Shanghai, a large number of traitors defected to the enemy.

The undercover work there was incredibly brutal and bloody.

Since the fall of Shanghai in 1937, the undercover agents in Shanghai have basically changed two or three times.

It was like a meat grinder.

Wave after wave of personnel were sent there. The longest they could stay was one or two years, and the shortest was only a few days before they were exposed and sacrificed.

Very few people were able to evacuate safely.

However, Shanghai is also the economic and financial center of China, as well as the largest intelligence hub in the Far East.

The rear headquarters of the Japanese Central and Southern China Expeditionary Army.

Due to various special circumstances, the Military Intelligence Bureau suffered heavy losses and made significant sacrifices there, but it could not be abandoned.

We can only keep adding new staff.

The loss of personnel at the grassroots level was bad enough, but in just two or three years, the head and deputy head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station, as well as the head of the intelligence section and the head of the action section, had been replaced two or three times.

Some were killed, some were captured, and some betrayed their country and defected to the enemy.

The Military Intelligence Bureau was to provide compensation to the wounded and injured, rescue the captured, and punish and eliminate the traitors.

Similarly, a skilled workforce is also needed.

It also requires a huge amount of money.

However, these things still had to be done. If the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station was abandoned, the impact and losses on the front lines in the rear would be incalculable.

Dai Yunong didn't tell Ye Shaohong these principles, but Ye Shaohong actually knew them himself. "Don't worry, Director."

"I will personally take charge of this matter in the next few days and will make sure to arrange everything carefully."

"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing the work."

Dai Yunong nodded and then brought up another matter.

That was the Jellyfish Assassination Group's mission to infiltrate Nanjing and assassinate Wang Jingwei. Several days have passed since then.

However, headquarters still had not received any news about the Jellyfish Assassination Group's operation.

Wang Ni also took the opportunity to jump around.

He constantly makes rebellious remarks.

This greatly displeased the bald-headed chairman, who even summoned Dai Yunong and reprimanded him severely several times.

Dai Yunong was under a lot of pressure and wanted Ye Shaohong to send a telegram to inquire about the situation.

He needed to urge them on. After all, the Jellyfish Assassination Group was Ye Shaohong's direct subordinate force. Although Dai Yunong also had supervisory authority, his words and orders were not as effective as Ye Shaohong's.

This matter will also fall on Ye Shaohong's shoulders.

This was his job, and Ye Shaohong couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

Of course.

While agreeing, Ye Shaohong couldn't possibly urge the Jellyfish Assassination Team to act just to save face for Dai Yunong.

He didn't want his men to be killed innocently.

We must find a way to eliminate Wang, but we also need to be well prepared and have a comprehensive plan.

One should not act arbitrarily.

This required Ye Shaohong to devise a comprehensive plan. As the leader of the Jellyfish Assassination Group, he had to accept the credit for the achievements his subordinates had made for him, and of course, he also had to shoulder the responsibilities. This was giving him a headache.

After finishing this, Dai Yunong took out another piece of paper from the drawer.

It was placed on the table.

Upon seeing Dai Yunong's action, Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately narrowed.

He already had a guess.

I had a bad feeling.

really.

When Dai Yunong gestured with his eyes for Ye Shaohong to look at the paper, Ye Shaohong saw something he didn't want to see.

Just like the course of history.

Faced with the grim situation on the main battlefield, and after Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy and betrayal of the country, morale among the staff of the Nationalist government was low.

The bald-headed chairman was furious.

He personally arranged for someone to draft a secret list of those to be executed. The list contained many people who had recently defected to the enemy and betrayed their country.

There are also many influential figures in the underworld, as well as people from the cultural and business circles in the Shanghai area.

These are the people who must be eliminated.

With a quick glance, Ye Shaohong spotted several familiar names among them.

Those who would be the first to be affected were undoubtedly Wang Ni, Zhou Hai, and others.

Next are Zhang Xiaolin and Li Qun.

There is also information on more than twenty people from various industries.

"This is an order that the Chairman just gave to our Military Intelligence Bureau, instructing us to carry out a purge against them as quickly as possible."

"This will be used to crack down on and eliminate the chaotic situation within the National Government."

"Shao Hong, the Shanghai station is also under your jurisdiction. You must take responsibility." "At the same time, I want to readjust the organizational structure of the Shanghai station, separating the intelligence and operations departments. From now on, the Shanghai station will mainly be responsible for intelligence and daily work. In addition, a new operations brigade will be established to be responsible for the operation arrangements and anti-espionage missions in the Shanghai-Songjiang area."

Do you have any objections to this idea?

coming.

Ye Shaohong had long known that, following the normal course of history, the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station would one day have its powers divided.

From this day forward, the intelligence work at the Shanghai station will undergo a dramatic transformation.

From then on, intelligence work in the Shanghai area would become increasingly brutal.

The number of casualties will reach an incalculable level.

But he was also well aware that this split was an inevitable result.

It was also the right choice. Given the current division of authority within the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station, continuing with the old organizational framework would inevitably have far-reaching consequences should any personnel in the Shanghai station be arrested or betrayed.

This could easily lead to a situation where all personnel at one station are exposed, killed, or arrested.

The division of authority can reduce such losses.

This will also make operations in Shanghai more swift.

Intelligence and operational work at the Shanghai station should, in principle, fall under the jurisdiction of the external offices.

According to past practice, the first place to report intelligence from the Shanghai station was usually the secretariat.

That is, Mao Renfeng's territory.

Then it would be delivered to Dai Yunong.

This was Dai Yunong's way of exerting power, and Ye Shaohong never expressed any opinion.

It now seems that Dai Yunong intends to forcibly seize the intelligence command of the Shanghai station. Doesn't that mean that from now on, the action team that suffered the most heavy losses at the Shanghai station will be under the responsibility of his external office?

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong's expression became much more serious. He thought about it again and again, and finally agreed with Dai Yunong's idea.

However, Ye Shaohong also made his own demands.

He was to take direct control of the action team at the Shanghai station, and he would also take full responsibility for personnel replenishment, appointment, and task assignment.

After a brief consideration, Dai Yunong finally agreed.
