"The case of the appointment and dismissal of lieutenant colonel-level officers of the National Government. In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Mao Zi Order No. 490 appointed Zuo Zhong, the chief of the Intelligence Section of the Second Division of the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, as an army lieutenant colonel."

In the auditorium of the Investigation Bureau, everyone from the Intelligence Section once again stood on the rostrum, but this time the bald man did not come in person. He only appointed Director Chen to award and promote the heroes who solved the assassination case.

Maybe it was to win people's hearts, or maybe it was because of Chen Bingru's words, Baldhead opened a back door for the little fellow, ignored the suspension of the year, and Major Zuo became Lieutenant Colonel Zuo.

Anyway, Zuo Zhong understood clearly that the provision of suspension of years is bullshit. If you say it is useful, then it is useful. If you say it is useless, then it is not. The details depend on whether your backers are strong or not, and whether the fellow villagers can support it.

In addition, Dai Chunfeng finally received the Medal of Baoding that he had longed for. It is a second-class medal. According to the rules, it requires a large award, so the real award will have to wait. Today is just a notification.

As for Zuo Zhong's men, they were also promoted this time. Gu Qi burst into tears and entered the ranks of school-level officers. Song Minghao was promoted to captain, Wu Chunyang, and Gui Youguang were promoted to lieutenant.

Shen Dongxin was promoted to sergeant. This guy was out of luck. If he had arrived at the Secret Service a few days earlier, he might have been able to catch up with the promotion and be promoted to the same rank. In that case, he could have completed the triple jump from sergeant to warrant officer.

Then, He Yijun was promoted from superior soldier to corporal because of his merit in identifying the Japanese spy Tianfu. In short, everyone in the intelligence department had merit, and by the way, his military pay was increased by one level. Everyone was happy.

Even Fu Ling, who was far away in Japan, was promoted from the rank of sergeant to a warrant officer by Zuo Zhong as a reason for her powerful intelligence support. She must be rewarded for lurking in such a dangerous place.

"Section Chief, you are my noble man. At that time, I thought I would be satisfied if I could retire with the rank of captain. As a result, I was promoted from second lieutenant to major in just two years. I never dared to think so."

Gu Qi touched the new military rank on his collar. He had mixed feelings at this moment. The speed of his promotion was indeed a bit scary. The eyes of the former investigation department agent who came to watch the ceremony were almost green.

"My brother, you're welcome."

Zuo Zhong looked at Director Chen who was conferring a title on Wu Jingzhong on the stage. While applauding, he revealed softly: "This time it's not just us who have been promoted. I heard that many young men in the military have also been promoted.

There are several major generals, brigade commanders and division commanders in their twenties. Compared with those Tianhuang nobles and Emperor's disciples, those of us will benefit the least, but it will still take a long time, so take your time."

Gu Qi didn't feel jealous after hearing this. The most valuable thing about a person is contentment. Compared with his old colleagues, he was already a heifer sitting on the stove - coaxed by cowhide. Only Wu Jingzhong could compare with himself.

He took the opportunity to ask a question: "Section Chief, it was you who reported Wu Jingzhong's captain promotion report. Where are you going to place him? I said before that the department would have two deputy section chiefs. He..."

Lao Gu is a kind person. He has no objection to Wu Jingzhong being the deputy section chief. A newcomer who has just arrived is not a threat to him. The problem is that the intelligence section now has two captain officers.

One is Song Minghao and the other is Wu Jingzhong. Both of them are captains. One has become the deputy section chief. What to do with the other? If a bowl of water cannot be leveled, it may affect unity.

Zuo Zhong understood what Gu Qi meant. He also had a headache before, but now he has a plan. After all, Song Minghao was his deputy during the Jige Lane period, so he should mention it in terms of his position.

He turned his head and said his plan: "I have decided to appoint Lao Song as the deputy section chief, in charge of the military intelligence section. Wu Jingzhong will serve as deputy section chief for a period of time, and then decide whether to let him take charge based on the situation."

Gu Qi nodded slightly. The section chief always ignored the general affairs of the department. With the help of an old man like Lao Song, he could take a breather. Wu Jingzhong had just arrived in Jinling and really needed more inspections.

He chuckled and said: "Section Chief, you have made a promise to Lao Wu. With the position of unit chief in front of him, he will definitely perform his best. It seems that the military intelligence unit will be busy next."

"Whoever wants to take the bait will take the bait."

Zuo Zhong also had a smile on his face, looked around and asked: "By the way, are you ready? This matter concerns Director Chen and Xu Enzeng. As soon as the promotion meeting is over, we will start taking action immediately."

"It's ready. I've checked the list several times. They are all people who need to be cleaned up. After the meeting, there will be specialized personnel to do it one-on-one. There will be no omissions. The Spring Festival Group will be responsible for this matter."

When Gu Qi heard the inquiry, he quickly and furtively replied that if anyone heard this conversation, they would definitely think that the chief and deputy chief of the Intelligence Section wanted to launch a mutiny to eliminate thieves for the country.

Zuo Zhong smiled with satisfaction, and a stern look flashed in his eyes: "The external channels must be arranged, and these people are not given a chance to react. As long as tonight is over, the situation will change."

"Don't worry, section chief. I've found all the influential channels in Jinling. I won't miss any major events. If it doesn't work, I can force the cleanup." Gu Qi's face was serious, and his eyes were also filled with murderous intent.

"Well, we'll talk about it later."

Zuo Zhong raised his hand to interrupt him, and warned vigilantly: "We are all our own people, there is no need to get into that situation. As long as they are sensible, don't kill them. After all, we will still work together in the future."

Behind the two of them, Ling Sanping, who was yawning, moved his ears, and then continued to doze as if nothing had happened. Whether or not he rebelled had nothing to do with him. He would still have to undergo plastic surgery when he returned home.

Originally, he had a share in this promotion, but he refused. Now he is just a dean with the false title of second lieutenant.

But Tongsuo next to him was trembling with fear. What big thing are these madmen going to do? After a few days of eating royal food, are these good days coming to an end?

There are many such things in the play, such as Song Taizu, does the man named Zuo want to wear a yellow robe today? He is really a madman. Is your Zuo family destined to be emperor? Do you want to report him?

Tongsuo fell into a fierce ideological struggle. According to legend, Zuo dragged him from the world into the secret service and gave him an iron rice bowl. He had to repay him, but this was a serious crime of beheading.

Alas, forget it, forget it.

Guide Jade Dragon to die for you, repay your favor on the golden stage, or at worst collect his body when the army is defeated, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness. Tongsuo thought about it, and looked at Zuo Zhong with eyes that became more determined.

Zuo Zhong seemed to be aware of it, and turned to look at him with a frown, wondering why this little bastard was so weird. There was a little calmness in the fear, and a little decisiveness in the calmness. You must be sick.

At this time, the long and boring promotion meeting was finally over. Director Chen took the lead and a group of secret agents walked out of the auditorium of the bureau headquarters with smiles. They were then surrounded by a large group of people.

"Director Chen, Director Chen, I heard that the assassination case was solved under your personal command. Can you tell the people the whole story of this case? We will publish the full text without changing every word."

"Yes, Director Chen, under your wise command, the national government has solved many Japanese espionage cases in recent years. I heard that several ordinary people were taken advantage of by Japanese spies this time. What do you have to say about this?"

When the reporters saw Director Chen, he was like a fly seeing meat. He was holding a pen and paper in his hand and asking questions like a barrage of questions. This made Director Chen a little confused, but he was also secretly happy.

There are three types of human needs, physiological needs, mental needs and soul needs. When you reach Director Chen's position, other things are easily available, and all you want is spiritual and soul satisfaction.

That is the so-called success and fame. In just a few decades of life, what can be remembered by others after the death of a big shot is not how big an official he was, but how much he did, both good and bad things.

Obviously Director Chen didn't want to be infamy for eternity, so it would be the most appropriate achievement for him to do such a good thing as catching a Japanese spy. However, this case was sponsored by the Secret Service and had nothing to do with him.

He turned to look at Dai Chunfeng. The victim was right next to him. If the other party was unwilling, there was no need for him to forcefully take the credit. As a party-state elite, he thought he wanted to save his face.

"Director, the reporters are all waiting. As the first chief of the Bureau of Statistics, the Secret Service is your subordinate. It is your responsibility to speak to the outside world, and your subordinates can also listen to your work instructions."

Dai Chunfeng showed no reluctance and even took the initiative to remind: "If you don't tell me, Director, these reporters will probably talk nonsense again. I have a manuscript here that you can use as a reference."

After saying that, he took out a manuscript from his pocket. Now everyone knew who invited these reporters. They really didn't notice. Dai Chunfeng, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, also learned to flatter.

Xu Enzeng's eyes were even redder. Why didn't he think of this move? Dai must have set his sights on the position of deputy director, otherwise he would be so kind as to invite reporters to build momentum for Director Chen.

Director Chen was grinning from ear to ear, but after receiving the manuscript, he took a quick look at it. There was nothing sensitive in the content. He just reminded people to be careful not to be used by Japanese spies.

He straightened his collar, patted Dai Chunfeng's shoulder, unfolded the manuscript, and started talking nonsense, such as tips on preventing espionage and being careful about pie-in-the-sky things. The reporters wrote furiously.

Zuo Zhong stood in the corner of the auditorium with a faint smile on his face. He hoped that this would make the people more cautious. There are so many advantages to take advantage of in the world, but traps are everywhere.

Not only ordinary people can't understand this truth, but even Director Chen is no exception. As the saying goes, benefits influence people's hearts, but how many people can think calmly when benefits come to their door? Human nature is just for profit.

Soon, the short interview was over, and the reporters took out their cameras and started taking pictures, not only of the officers, but also of the "warriors" of the Bureau of Statistics who were fighting on the front line of counterintelligence.
