King of Secret Service

In this precarious and chaotic world, he is like a small boat on the sea, unable to take care of himself, so he has no ability to save the whole world. What he can do is to do his best to reduce casualties for the Chinese nation's war of resistance.

"Jiang Tao."

After pondering for a while, he shouted towards the door.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?????

Jiang Tao pushed the door open and entered, and said, "Director, what are your orders?"

"You are familiar in Nanjing, use some money to buy some real estate, I will use it after the Chinese New Year." Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Before Jiang Tao joined the Military Intelligence Department, he was the boss of Nanjing's underground gang.

"Do you have any trustworthy friends in Nanjing?" Liang Xiao asked.

"Beizhi has a group of life-and-death brothers in Nanjing. No matter what happens, you just give me an order, and I promise to do it properly." Jiang Tao said, patting his chest.

Liang Xiao said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, you find a few trustworthy brothers, and in their name, open a newspaper office in Nanjing. The name is China Times."

...... 0

"Open a newspaper?" Jiang Tao hesitated and said: "My life and death brothers are still good at fighting, let them open a newspaper to write manuscripts..."

"Don't worry about this. The China Times only borrowed their name. The specific personnel are still ours." Liang Xiao said.

"That's fine."

Jiang Tao frowned when he heard that he was not writing a manuscript.

"Go."

Liang Xiao had long wanted to open a newspaper office. First, it could be used as a cover to secretly engage in underground intelligence business. Second, it could do more propaganda for the War of Resistance, so that ordinary people can understand the truth that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.

Subsequently.

He rested in the room for a while. In the evening, he went downstairs to have dinner, returned to the room, read the newspaper for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next morning.

He bought some snacks on the street and went to pay respects to his mentor, General Zhang Wenbai.

Although he is trusted by the committee now, he is a rising star of the Whampoa Military Academy, and has the ability to be on an equal footing with Zheng Jiemin, Kang Ze and other committee members, but he does not forget the well digger. General Zhang Wenbai has taken good care of him as a student. During the special operations group, if General Zhang hadn't come forward to mediate, the special operations group would not have been established in a short time.

Therefore, every time he went to Nanjing, as long as he had enough time, he would visit his mentor, General Zhang Wenbai. .

Chapter 166

Zhang House.

Holding snacks, Liang Xiao walked into Zhang's mansion in a straight and straight military uniform.

Like the previous few times, the old butler went out to greet him.

The old butler smiled and said, "Xiao Liangzi, I haven't been here for a while."

"You have a really bad memory, I haven't come for more than a month." Liang Xiao joked, and handed the snacks in his hand to the old housekeeper.

"Come whenever you come, and bring a gift every time you come." The old butler smiled.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, if it wasn't for the teacher's rule that students are not allowed to give expensive gifts, it is estimated that some Huangpu students would be able to move Jinshan in.

"Is the teacher at home?"

"It's in the study." The old housekeeper smiled.

"Then I'm in."

Liang Xiao greeted the old butler, and went straight to knock on the door of the "[-]" study room.

"Come in." General Zhang's voice came from the study.

Liang Xiao opened the door and walked in, and saw General Zhang sitting behind the desk, wearing glasses, holding a book on strategy written by a German military strategist.

He looked up, a smile appeared on his face, he took off his glasses, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile, "Isn't this my proud student, General Liang?"

Hearing what the teacher said, Liang Xiao immediately straightened his waist and said, "Student Liang Xiao came to see the teacher."

"General Liang, don't call me that, I, Zhang, can't afford it." General Zhang quickly waved his hands.

Liang Xiao knew that the teacher was dissatisfied with his promotion to the rank of major general. In terms of qualifications and military exploits, he was inferior to many seniors in Whampoa, but now he was going to be awarded the rank of major general. He was on an equal footing with many instructors in Whampoa. The rank of General Zhang Wenbai.

"Teacher, listen to the students' explanation." Liang Xiao smiled wryly.

"Don't explain, there is nothing to explain. I am proud to have a student like you. The ancestral grave of my Zhang family finally smoked this time. Let someone Zhang accept a special agent general." General Zhang Cursed angrily.

Liang Xiao knew that the teacher was dissatisfied with his entry into the spy system, but he didn't expect him to be so angry. Could it be that he was promoted to the rank of major general by mistake.

"Teacher, the student now has the rank of colonel, not major general. You are calling me wrong. I am not General Liang. I am just one of your students. Moreover, I am only here today to visit my teacher and have no other intentions." Liang Xiao Knowing General Zhang's temper, it will be fine when he gets over his temper.

General Zhang sneered: "With a special agent general like you, my face is full of light."

"If the student shames you, the student will never step into your house again."

A look of sadness flashed across Liang Xiao's face. The so-called people have their own ambitions, and if they have different ways, they will not seek each other. Even his mentor at the Whampoa Military Academy will eventually part ways with him.

He sighed slightly, with a lonely expression on his face, and said, "Teacher, take care, and students leave."

He sighed slightly, with a lonely expression on his face, and said, "Teacher, take care, and students leave."

"stop."

General Zhang called him to stop him, and said in a resentful way: "You are too young after all. Do you know how many people objected to conferring on you the rank of major general? In the entire military committee, only Chen Cheng and the committee agreed to promote you to major general. He Yingqin, Gu Zhutong, Bai Chongxi and others unanimously opposed it, and in the end they sat down to overcome all opinions and insisted on promoting you to major general. If you are a smart person, you should refuse this opportunity to be promoted to major general. After all, you are still young, and there will be plenty of future Chance."

"Besides, you already have the rank of colonel. As long as you survive for another year or two, promotion to major general is inevitable, but why can't you understand the pros and cons of this? Your promotion speed is so fast, it will attract dissatisfaction from many people , it will definitely not benefit your future development."

After Liang Xiao heard the teacher's words, a touch of emotion flashed across his face.

It turned out that the teacher was thinking about him, and it was he who treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Students don't know, it's just that the students have no other choice. They appointed the students to set up the Songhu-Hangzhou military special zone. This is tantamount to assigning Dai Li's power. If the student's military rank is still a colonel, how can he compete with Dai Li? After all, the stationmasters of the two stations in Shanghai and Hangzhou are all colonel ranks, so students can’t order them with the rank of colonel, right?”

General Zhang sighed deeply: "The committee asked you to set up the Songhu-Hangzhou Military Information Zone, which is intended to allow you and Dai Li to check and balance each other, so as to achieve the check and balance technique of the superior, but he just chose you and let you A younger generation checks and balances Dai Li, Dai Li has been engaged in intelligence for more than ten years, no matter the city and the wrist, you can't compare...."

"Teachers don't have to worry about the students. Since the students dare to accept the black hat of the director of the Songhu-Hangzhou Military Information Area, they are absolutely sure that they will not lose to Dai Li." Liang Xiao did have this confidence. Although his foundation was not as good as that of Dai Li, his The potential is far beyond Dai Li's comparison.

"Alas, you can ask for blessings."

General Zhang is not optimistic about Liang Xiao's future. After all, Dai Li is known for being ruthless. Liang Xiao has only joined the Military Intelligence Department for a few years, how can he fight against Dai Li.

From General Zhang's point of view, the promotion of Liang Xiao to major general was a harm to him.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for more than a month, let's talk about something else." Liang Xiao didn't want to talk about these things with his teacher, which would only increase his troubles.

General Zhang pointed at him and said with a sigh, "Dai Li shouldn't have let you get into the army in the first place."

"Teacher, you are prejudiced against agents. Not all agents live in blood and filth." Liang Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly.

General Zhang said angrily: "You mean your hands are very clean, how did Gu Jianming, the head of the Shanghai Station, die?"

Liang Xiao smiled and said: "It seems that the teacher also believed the rumors that Dai Li let out."

"Of course I don't believe these rumors, but there are no grounds, and flies don't bite seamless eggs. Since it's spread outside, there must be a reason for it." General Zhang said 1.7.

Liang Xiao didn't explain and said with a smile: "Teacher, it's windy outside today, why don't students play chess with you?"

"I'm not in the mood." General Zhang thought that Liang Xiao changed the subject because he acquiesced to Gu Jianming's matter.

"Teacher, you taught us that the more the enemy is in front of us, the more we must be calm, and we must not get confused and give the enemy an opportunity." Liang Xiao said with a smile.

General Zhang looked at him in surprise, and said, "Bring the chessboard, and I'll accompany you to the next game."

Liang Xiao turned around and took the chessboard from the bookshelf, placed it on the desk, and fetched the chess pieces. The Chu River and the Han border were clearly separated.

"Ever since you entered the military command, our teachers and students have never played chess again. This time it is still the old rule, you go first." General Zhang said. .

Chapter 167

Liang Xiao didn't admit it either, and said with a smile: "Students are welcome."

"I hope you can use all your means this time, don't hold back, and let me, a teacher, see your full strength." General Zhang said.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, kept silent, and concentrated on playing chess. To be honest, his chess attainments are already at the level of a master. When he was in the military academy, when it came to playing chess, no matter whether he was a classmate or a teacher, he was willing to be inferior.

Even his mentor Zhang Wenbai, most of them won less and lost more.

first round.

Liang Xiaobing made a risky move and won directly with double cannons and serial horses.

General Zhang was stunned for a while, how could he be defeated after only a few starts.

Second round.

Liang Xiao did the same thing, but changed the serial horses into pawns, crossed the river with pawns, and killed all directions. In the end, General Zhang was forced to defend. He abandoned a horse and a cannon, and defeated General Zhang. The defense, and then all the members crossed the boundary, forcing General Zhang to disarm and surrender.

The third round.

He took a defensive position first, and then gathered 14 superior forces, and went straight to General Zhang's camp. General Zhang focused on defense.

However, after Liang Xiao threw out the bait of a horse and a cannon in a row, General Zhang still fell into his trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and was taken out of his nest by him.

"No more."

General Zhang lost three games in a row, and his mood was terrible.

Thinking that he was a majestic lieutenant general, but he lost three times in a row under the hands of the students.

: "Teacher, just for fun, don't be angry." Liang Xiao chuckled and put away the chessboard.

"Why am I angry? You can make me lose three games in a row. I'm too happy to be a teacher."

After General Zhang finished speaking, he said earnestly: "However, playing chess is different from being an official. Being an official is about seniority and prestige. If you get promoted too fast, you will fall badly."

"Take Zhang Hanqing as an example. At the time when the Northeast changed its banner, the deputy commander-in-chief of the national army, navy and air force controlled North China and the three northeastern provinces, with 60 to [-] troops, which can be said to be under one man and above ten thousand."

"But in the end, after the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces, he was like a bereaved dog. He brought 20 Northeastern troops into the customs and lived a life under the fence. His Northeastern army was appointed as cannon fodder and transferred from Jiangxi to Shaanxi. , traveled more than half of the rivers and mountains, lost soldiers and generals, and finally rose up to resist, the result was to ruin freedom and become a body of guilt."

Liang Xiao knew that the teacher was doing it for his own good, but he had to hang the rank of major general.

Because once the Sino-Japanese War broke out, his opportunity would come, and the rank of major general was the capital for him to recruit troops to strengthen himself.

Therefore, no matter what the teacher says, his original intention will not change.

"Teacher, the war is coming soon. According to the students' estimates, it will take seven or eight months at most." Liang Xiao said.

"You mean the Japanese?" General Zhang said.

"Yes, they keep sending more troops to Shanghai. I guess they are preparing for the accelerated pace of war. In addition, the Japanese dispatched troops in Shanghai have sent many Japanese agents to survey and map the mountains and landforms of Shanghai and Guangdong. The map has been handed over to the committee, if the teacher is interested, you can take a look at the map drawn by the Japanese and see how it is different from the map of our national army." Liang Xiao laughed.

"The situation in North China is not optimistic. According to intelligence analysis, the Kwantung Army in the northeast is also preparing to invade North China." General Zhang said.

"At this critical moment for the survival of the nation, the students implore the teacher to talk to the principal and make preparations early, so as not to be at a loss, passively beaten, and lose the city and land." Liang Xiao said with a serious expression.

"I will speak to the committee, but he is looking forward to the ruling of the League of Nations Congress, and I am afraid that he will not listen to my opinion." General Zhang said helplessly.

"I will speak to the committee, but he is looking forward to the ruling of the League of Nations Congress, and I am afraid that he will not listen to my opinion." General Zhang said helplessly.

"Do your best and obey the destiny." Liang Xiao still said the same thing.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about your affairs." General Zhang shifted the topic to him again, and asked: "The committee will promote a group of Huangpu generals to the ranks tomorrow, should you also join me?" go?"

"Yes."

Liang Xiao nodded.

"After you go, don't talk to the generals in the army. Generals like them don't like your military commanders. Don't be ridiculed by them." General Zhang warned.

Liang Xiao was very touched in his heart, the teacher was so thoughtful for him, it was hard for him,

Then, he talked with General Zhang about the trivial matters in the government for a while, and he said goodbye and left on the grounds that he would be conferring titles tomorrow.

Come out from the Zhang mansion.

He went straight back to the hotel, took a shower, read the newspaper in the room, had dinner, and went straight to sleep.

The next day, early morning.

The city of Nanjing is full of people, peddlers yelling in the streets and alleys, vendors yelling at roadside stalls, and the streets are full of people, bustling and bustling, a scene of bustle and prosperity.
