Chapter 165: Radio

What is Kitagaki Taro doing here?

There must be something more important than rescuing Yang Zhisong.

Moreover, judging from the time, he should have been on his way before Yang Zhisong's case.

So, what is this Japanese spy here for?

A Japanese spy who can meet with Tian Qingyuan directly is definitely not simple.

This guy was at least a key member of the Japanese secret service.

Unfortunately, he got away.

Dai Yice was extremely annoyed by this. He felt that it was his fault that the Japanese spy had escaped.

However, no one blamed him. In war, there are always victories and defeats. The Japanese spy was also very cunning, so it was not surprising that he escaped. At most, he would be caught again next time.

'There is something more important now. It is to find the second memo.'

Zhang Yong let go of this matter.

Since the Japanese spy stole the memorandum by impersonating the Gui faction, it definitely will not be returned to Gui Province.

It should not have been sent out of Nanjing either.

Because the Nanjing Railway Station has always been guarded by the Fuxing Society.

The Japanese spy dare not take the risk. He should not dare to go through the railway station.

He may go by water or by car.

We must hurry. Otherwise, once the memorandum leaves Nanjing, it will be impossible to find it within seven days.

'Captain Zhang, Section Chief Ling is looking for you.'

'I know.'

Zhang Yong answered reflexively.

Then he became confused. Who was Section Chief Ling?

It took a while for him to remember. She was the head of the telecommunications section at the headquarters of the Fuxing Society on Jijia Lane. Her name was Ling Yan. She was a woman. Not bad looking. But she was very good at telecommunications technology.

He was puzzled. Why was she looking for him? They didn't seem to have anything in common.

He picked up the phone.

'Section Chief Ling, this is Zhang Yong.'

'Captain Zhang, we have a situation and I'm not sure whether I should tell you about it...'

'Section Chief Ling, please go ahead. I am very grateful for the information you provide.'

'It's like this. This afternoon, we discovered a mysterious radio station. It's new. It has never appeared before. The transmission lasted a long time, 80 minutes. According to Jiang Yiying's judgment, it should be a very important document. She also deciphered one of the keywords, which is the word 'aircraft'. But she couldn't decipher the rest.'

'Thank you!'

'I don't know if it will be useful for you to catch the Japanese spy...'

'Very useful. Thank you! I'll treat you all to dinner next time! When I catch the Japanese spy, I'll treat everyone in the telecommunications department to dinner!'

'You don't have to thank me. You should thank Jiang Yiyang!'

'No problem!'

Zhang Yong was full of gratitude.

This Jiang Yiyang, she's amazing! Who is she?

She was able to decipher the telegram!

Since there were the two keywords of airplane, he boldly speculated that what the radio station sent out was most likely the lost memo.

A bit of a problem...

The memorandum had eventually been leaked.

The Japanese invaders found that they could not send the document as a whole, so they transmitted it by radio.

Because there was so much content, the transmission lasted a full 80 minutes. A new radio station was even started specifically to avoid being intercepted.

Damn Japanese spies.

So many radios!

And new ones? When the time comes, I'll capture a few and give them to the Red Party as a gift!

But that's just a thought.

The radios are too big, there's no chance of embezzling them.

There's no room for it in my bag.

My thoughts return to the memo. Despite the leak, it must be retrieved.

The terms of the deal were clear: retrieve the memo. Whether or not it has been leaked. As long as the original is recovered, the task is considered complete.

Ten thousand dollars in my hands.

Even the wife of the President can't renege on a deal...

I ponder.

Where could the memo be?

Suddenly, a fact dawns on me. The memo must be next to the radio.

To send a message, you need to extract the content. Since it's an extract, you must carry the memo with you. In other words, if you find the radio, you can find the memo.

Yes, that's it...

Find the radio! If you find the radio, there's hope for the memo!

Where is the radio? I guess I'll have to go to the telecommunications department and ask.

Just a rough idea...

'Captain Zhang, Secretary Mao is looking for you,' someone suddenly announces.

'I know!' Zhang Yong immediately goes to the phone.

The call is from Mao Renfeng.

He must be calling from the frontline, so it must be important.

'Secretary Mao.'

'Shaolong, the Director has an important task for you!'

'To serve the Party!'

'Good. Very spirited. The Director said that the Commissioner was very angry after hearing his report. How dare the Japanese spy try to harm Madam. Absolutely unforgivable. So the Commissioner instructed in person that our Rensheng Society Special Services Department should set up a special Section 5. It will be dedicated to fighting the Japanese. The Commissioner will personally serve as the head of Section 5.'

'Understood.'

'There will be no deputy head of the Fifth Section. There will be an operations team under it. You will be the deputy team leader.'

'Me?'

Zhang Yong was taken aback.

Me as the deputy team leader? Wait.

I don't think I'm qualified for this. It's not good to be promoted too quickly!

The one who shoots first is the one who gets shot.

This is not something I can do.

Keep a low profile. Just be there. It's best if no one notices you. Make a fortune without making a sound. Behind the scenes...

'Secretary Mao, I disagree.'

'Oh, what's your problem?'

'I'm too young. I'm not qualified to be deputy team leader. I recommend Li Boqi for the job...'

'He's already deputy team leader.'

'I'm recommending him for deputy team leader of Section 5.'

'You certainly remember his kindness. You're also a person who remembers the old. But unfortunately, Shaolong, I'll be frank with you, Li Boqi is not suitable for the position of deputy team leader of Section 5. No one else will agree. He faced a lot of resistance when he became deputy team leader of the operations section of the Shanghai office.'

'So, Secretary Mao, would you be willing to take on the role of deputy section chief as well?'

'Me?'

'Yes! You are capable and qualified, aren't you?'

'Well...'

Mao Renfeng hesitated.

It would be false to say that he wasn't tempted.

The job of secretary was a nominal one. In reality, it didn't carry much power.

However, if he could take on the role of deputy section chief of the Fifth Section as well, it would be a step up. He would have real power.

Because the head of the department is also the head of the division, he is practically unable to intervene.

In other words, all the power is actually in the hands of the deputy head of the department. This deputy head of the department is actually doing the work of the head of the department.

'Where is the head of the division? I have work to ask the head of the division.'

'He is still in Chengdu...'

'Secretary Mao, can you connect me?'

'Sure!'

Mao Renfeng knew full well.

Zhang Yong was helping him get this deputy head of the department position.

Although Zhang Yong was not a high-ranking official, his influence was not small. He was especially good at catching Japanese spies.

After the establishment of the Fifth Section, whoever it was, they had to rely on Zhang Yong's talent.

So he personally arranged for the call to be transferred.

Zhang Yong understood a truth from Li Boqi: People are carried in a flowery sedan chair.

Since Li Boqi has no chance of getting promoted, he will recommend Mao Renfeng. At that time, Mao Renfeng will definitely remember his kindness. It doesn't matter if he does something out of line.

He's acting recklessly now, but he's only doing so because he has people looking out for him.

He needs to find some powerful backers.

Chu Tso is one of them. So is Mao Renfeng. They're the same kind of people.

After about a minute, the phone finally connected.

Chu Tso answered the phone.

'Shaolong, what is it?'

'Chu Tso, I have some sensitive information and I don't know what to do with it.'

'Go on.'

'Director, we have discovered the Japanese spy who stole the memo. His name is Kitakata Taro. He pretended to be a member of the Gui faction and turned Yang Zhisheng of the Military Police Command against us...'

'I already know about that.'

'I have discovered that Tian Qingyuan of the Commercial Bank is also a Japanese spy. He met with Kitakata Taro and provided him with a lot of financial support.'

'Tian Qingyuan?'

'Yes. I am certain that he is a Japanese spy. But I don't have enough evidence yet.'

'Don't do anything rash.'

'I understand.'

Zhang Yong knew that the Director was under pressure.

This Tian Qingyuan was involved with too many people. It was even more complicated than Wu Yuanfu.

Wu Yuanfu couldn't deal with it openly. Tian Qingyuan naturally couldn't either.

However, Zhang Yong believed that the Director would definitely find a way.

The reason was simple. The Director coveted Tian Qingyuan's assets.

The Director has ambitions. He wants to expand the Fuxing Society. He wants to increase the number of staff. He needs people and guns, and the prerequisite for all this is money.

Where does the money come from? Of course he can't rely on funding from above.

How much money is there in funding?

It's not even enough to pay the salaries.

He can only rely on the power of the Fuxing Society, living off the land and the water.

It so happens that there is a large income to be made from cleaning up a Japanese spy like Tian Qingyuan. Why wouldn't he do it?

He gets the name, the profit and, in the end, the power.

Three birds with one stone.

The head of the department will definitely do everything he can to get rid of Tian Qingyuan.

No doubt about it.

'What else do you need?'

'Head of the department, I strongly recommend Secretary Mao as deputy head of Section 5.'

'That's not your concern.'

'I'm in charge of sucking up to Madam. If there's a Japanese spy who's a threat to Madam in the future, I'll deal with it first.'

'You...'

The head of the department on the other end of the phone couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry.

This guy really knows nothing. He doesn't think before he speaks. What do you mean by flattering Madam?

What a horrible thing to say!

'It's to protect the leader's safety!' he corrected sternly.

'Yes. To protect the leader's safety,' Zhang Yong hastily corrected.

'The purpose of our organisation is to unite our will to protect the leader. No. You need to study hard,' the department head said with a sense of foreboding. 'I'll have someone prepare some books for you to read.'

'Director, you might as well kill me.'

'Nonsense! I told you to read! You read it carefully! Otherwise, I will drag you into my office and you will read it to me word for word!'

'I...'

Zhang Yong suddenly choked.

He almost blurted out an expletive about Boss Dai's grandfather!

Do you have to be so harsh!

Come on, it's been decades since I graduated from elementary school.

And read it to you word for word? Nonsense! But he never dared to speak back again.

If the boss really did that, it would be the end.

'Don't tell anyone about Tian Qingyuan. Otherwise, it will cause us trouble.'

'Understood!'

'Continue to arrest Japanese spies! The more the better!'

'Yes!'

Zhang Yong answered seriously.

The boss then hung up the phone satisfied.

Then he sat down. He started to think. What should he read to this guy?

Something too advanced, he definitely wouldn't be able to read.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Yes. Let's start with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Let's see if the guy can read it. And if he can understand it.

'Someone!'

he calls out.

A secretary rushes in.

'Go and buy a brand new set of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.'

'Yes.'

The secretary turns to go.

The department head nods thoughtfully.

It has to be a new set. And without any annotations. Otherwise the guy might just copy someone else's work.

Let Mao Renfeng be the deputy section chief?

In fact, there is no problem at all. He is also happy with this arrangement.

Since Zhang Yong is so sensible and has come forward to promote this matter, let Mao Renfeng try.

As long as it is said that this matter was recommended by Zhang Yong, no one else is expected to say anything.

Zhang Yong is the best at catching Japanese spies.

Without Zhang Yong's support, you can catch shit for Japanese spies.

Good! That's it.

Over there, Zhang Yong hung up the phone and thought for a while in place.

'Team Leader Dai!'

'Yes! What is it?'

'Let's go shopping. Buy some gifts.'

'What gifts?'

'You tell me, what would be the best gift for the Telecommunications Section?'

'Huh?'

Dai Yice is puzzled. A gift for the Telecommunications Section?

What's the reason? What is Zhang Yong up to?

"I need the Telecommunications Section to help me determine the approximate location of a radio station.'

'Just tell them to help, won't that do?'

'It's better to give them a gift.'

'Er...'

'Sweets? Biscuits? Snacks? Or should I buy them all?'

'Since you're going to buy them, buy them all. You have to make sure they're enough.'

'Okay, let's go!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Go, go shopping. Buy a gift.

Then ask the Telecommunications Section to do something for you.
