Chapter 224: Newcomer

Calm down.

Try to calm yourself down.

Zhang Yong scanned the room. He observed each soldier. Of course there were no Japanese in there.

It would be ridiculous if there were any Japanese among the candidates. The Japanese spies obviously had no interest in joining the army. They were worried that they might die at any time.

Suddenly, Zhang Yong pointed at someone and said, 'You, come out here!'

It turned out that Zhang Yong had seen an acquaintance.

It was the very same outstanding machine gunner from the time when he had intercepted the Japanese killer.

At that time, a Japanese soldier moved very quickly and almost managed to seize the weapon. Fortunately, the machine gunner fired a precise burst, killing the Japanese soldier.

Zhang Yong was very impressed by him.

At that time, he also directly rewarded the other party with five silver dollars.

Unexpectedly, he actually came too. Not only did he come. Several of his companions also came.

They should all be from the 21st Division.

It seems that joining the Restoration Society has also become a trend.

This is certainly good news for the Restoration Society. It means they can gather more talent.

'You!

Step forward!'

Zhang Yong pointed at the machine gunner.

He believed the machine gunner recognised him too.

Sure enough, the machine gunner quickly stepped forward. Then he ran up. Stand at attention. Salute.

Zhang Yong returned the salute.

'Come up here.'

'Yes!'

The machine gunner came up on stage.

Zhang Yong looked him up and down. Yes, it was him. He hadn't changed much.

'Sir...'

'Do you recognise me?'

'Yes.'

'Good. I didn't ask you your name last time. Now you can tell me.'

'Sir, my name is Qin Lishan.'

'Good.'

Zhang Yong waves him over and tells him to stand behind him.

The others are suddenly envious.

'Is Commander Li Xianzhou still in your unit?'

'Sir, he is now a division commander.'

'Oh, he's been promoted.'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Li Xianzhou was actually very qualified. He was in the first Huangpu class.

He fought in the war in a proper manner. He fought the entire war. He didn't get any credit, but he did get some credit. But then he lost faith.

He met someone like General Su. One Laiwu battle, and he was defeated.

'How many are there in your division?'

'There are four more.'

'Call them all out.'

'Yes.'

Qin Lishan immediately went down. He called out the other four.

They were all veterans who had enlisted for three or four years. They had relatively good basic skills. Both their marksmanship and their martial arts were of a certain standard.

Zhang Yong was very satisfied with their quality.

He quietly asked Yang Shanfu, 'Director Yang, how did we manage to recruit so many veterans? They're of good quality!'

'In fact, the greatest credit goes to you,' Yang Shanfu replied with a smile.

'Me?' Zhang Yong didn't understand.

'You've recently arrested a lot of Japanese spies, and the authorities are very satisfied with our Fuxing Society. The Committee also fully supports us.'

'The army chief is willing to release the people?'

'Why wouldn't he? It's in their interest to make a good relationship with us.'

'What kind of interest?'

'With us, the Restoration Society, looking after them, it will be easier for them to do anything in the future.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong seemed to understand but not.

Do anything? I don't understand for the time being.

I guess it's a trade-off. When there is a request to the Restoration Society,

If they send someone from their own unit to the Fuxing Society, they will at least have a way to negotiate if anything really happens in the future.

They are all smart people!

The head of the Fuxing Society is about to take off.

From now on, the Fuxing Society will accelerate its development.

'Do a good job.'

'What?'

'You are a person of great merit, and the head of the Fuxing Society will not treat you unfairly.'

'Thank you for your praise.'

Zhang Yong brought the conversation back on track.

Sweat, by mistake, I have really become a great hero of the Restoration Society.

Not only did I help the Director-General make a lot of money, but I also gained a lot of favour in front of the bigwigs. This has allowed the Restoration Society to develop rapidly.

You see, the Committee Chairman must be very satisfied. The wife is also satisfied. The Kong family is also satisfied.

With so many bigwigs satisfied, the Director-General has naturally become the most popular person. No wonder he was willing to spend his own money to buy the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and force himself to read it...

Alas, ingratitude!

"And, your rank is also about to be promoted.'

'Promoted to what?'

'Lieutenant!'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong reacted.

It turned out to be a promotion!

It seems that he was previously awarded the rank of second lieutenant. It was considered an introduction.

Now he was promoted to lieutenant. It was also considered part of the reward.

The people in the Restoration Society all had very low ranks. Even the department head, according to the military rank system, was only a colonel.

ADVERTISEMENT

This rank was really low. All the people in the Restoration Society had very low ranks.

It seems that Li Boqi was only a captain according to the military rank system.

The two section chiefs were only majors according to the military rank system.

There was no choice, so the department head had to set up his own system in the end. Basically everyone was promoted by one rank. Some were even promoted by two ranks.

Of course, this was after the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance.

Retrieve the information.

Continue to pick people.

The remaining people are unfamiliar to Zhang Yong. He can only judge by performance.

The first is climbing. He can climb walls.

Since it involves secret arrests, they often have to sneak in secretly, so they must be able to do something special.

They need to be able to jump high and climb high. Select ten.

Then marksmanship. Select the ten best.

Then there are the martial arts. The best ones are also selected.

Add Qin Lishan and the other five. Just right. Thirty-five people, the task is complete.

'Have you chosen them all?'

'Yes.'

'Okay. You can have them all.'

Yang Shanfu was very pleased. He immediately pulled out the relevant personnel information.

There were a total of 35 people. All of them were handed over to Zhang Yong.

From then on, these 35 people were the field agents of the Fuxing Society. They belonged to the Fuxing Society.

In a sense, they were also Zhang Yong's team.

Generally, if there was nothing going on, there would be no large-scale redeployment. You can see that Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi have been following Zhang Yong all along.

This is also necessary for covert work.

If you keep changing people, it's easy to make mistakes.

Of course, for section chiefs and above, they have to rotate. Otherwise, it's easy to become top-heavy.

Zhang Yong is currently a team leader, so he is not included in this.

'Let's go, I'll buy you dinner.'

'I should be buying you dinner.'

'I'm the host. I'll treat you.'

'That's fine.'

Yang Shanfang insisted on paying. Zhang Yong didn't insist.

He now understood some of the ways of the world. He knew that Yang Shanfang must have something to discuss with him next. Most likely it was a personal matter.

He ordered Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi to take the newcomers and pack up, preparing for the handover.

At the same time, take out 50 silver dollars and give them to Zhong Yang. Tell him to take the newcomers out to dinner. They won't eat at the training base.

The first meal after joining the Fuxing Society must be a good one.

'Understood!'

Zhong Yang went with a smile.

Soon, Qin Lishan and the others also went with high spirits.

For them, coming to the training base was the first step in joining the Fuxing Society. Passing the selection was the second step.

Now, they have finally become full members of the Fuxing Society.

From now on, their salaries will more than triple.

Before, they were just rank-and-file soldiers, and didn't even get a dollar a month. Now, they'll get at least two dollars a month.

I don't know who spread the word that the Fuxing Society pays double.

It's just a double salary. It's so tempting.

Actually, it's not possible. There is no double salary. But there are rewards.

If you spread the rewards around, it's like a double salary. But you can't say that out loud. Otherwise, it'll be bad.

It's like Zhang Yong, who was caught spying for Japan, quietly handing out money on the spot, and not letting it get out. Otherwise, if the Ministry of Supervision catches him with his hand in the cookie jar, it's going to be a lot of trouble. The benefits he's received will all be gone.

'Please!'

'Please!'

Zhang Yong and Yang Shanfu walked side by side.

They went all the way to Yang Shanfu's office. Yang Shanfu personally made tea. He asked Zhang Yong to sit down.

'Director Yang, just get to the point.'

'Well, I have a worthless nephew who just hangs around all day...'

'Invite him over!'

'Shao Long, you're a real man of action.'

'Director Yang is being so prompt today, how can I be indecisive?'

'Okay then. I owe you one.'

'Invite him over.'

'Okay!'

Yang Shengfu immediately made the call.

Zhang Yong sat down with a smile. He thought it was something important.

This kind of thing, where you help me and I help you, has long since become the rule in officialdom.

Anyway, he doesn't care if there's one or two more people around him just muddling through. As long as someone else asks, he'll say yes.

Soon, a young man arrived.

Slack? Not at all. He was a young man with spirit.

I see. These days, being proper is a hassle. Saying he's slack and taking care of him is more acceptable to everyone.

The key is to put the person next to Zhang Yong.

If you're a low-profile secret agent working hard but anonymously, you're not going to get anywhere.

You only have a chance if you're always in Zhang Yong's sight.

With Zhang Yong's skills, he must deal with all the big shots all the time, so if you get to know the big shots, your future will be bright.

Hey, they're all smart people!

"Shaolong, this is my useless nephew. His name is Yang Zhi.'

'Not bad.'

'Yang Zhi, this is the famous Captain Zhang Yong. He has arrested countless Japanese spies. He has agreed to take you with him. Hurry up and thank him.'

'Thank you, Captain Zhang!'

Zhang Yong noticed that Yang Zhi was actually quite capable.

He was eloquent and good-looking. Not bad. If he ever needed a spokesperson, he would use him directly.

'Okay, you will be by my side from now on.'

'Yes.'
