However, Sun Jiacheng was well aware that Miao Yongyi's identity was problematic. He knew that the station chief was aware of the situation and had already made plans, so he naturally responded with a smile.
Ning Zhiheng did this to keep Miao Yongyi by his side and limit his activities to the Tan Mansion. This way, he could minimize Miao Yongyi's involvement in the intelligence station's specific work, ensure his safety, and make it easier to leak intelligence to him at any time.
Miao Yongyi was very satisfied with the arrangement of being able to stay by Ning Zhiheng's side. Everyone was happy with this, and the decision was made.
Five days later, Yi Huaan, Zuo Rou, and others who had entered Shanghai from Hong Kong arrived at Tan's mansion, and Ning Zhiheng's team was basically complete.
To this end, Ning Zhiheng convened another meeting of key personnel, all of whom were his trusted confidants, and formally announced the promotion order for the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
Major Ning Zhiheng was promoted to lieutenant colonel; Captain Shen Xiang, through meritorious service, entered the ranks of field-grade officers and was promoted to major; Lieutenant Sun Jiacheng was promoted to captain; Second Lieutenant Zuo Gang was promoted to first lieutenant; Second Lieutenant Zuo Qiang was promoted to first lieutenant; Second Lieutenant Zuo Rou was promoted to first lieutenant; Second Lieutenant Ji Hongyi was promoted to first lieutenant; Lieutenant Yi Hua'an was promoted to captain; and Lieutenant Miao Yongyi was promoted to captain.
At the same time, more than 30 action team members were promoted to second lieutenants. This time, as long as Ning Zhiheng made a request for commendation, the chief of staff did not hesitate to approve it without any discount, which made Ning Zhiheng quite surprised that almost all of his subordinates were promoted.
Ning Zhiheng also officially appointed Zuo Rou as the head of the General Affairs Department and the head of the Telecommunications Section, responsible for managing the intelligence station's finances and radio station.
Miao Yongyi was the deputy captain of the action team, specifically responsible for the security of the Tan Mansion.
This time, Zuo Rou not only brought the latest codebook, but also Huang Xianzheng's communication frequency band and password, so Ning Zhiheng was finally able to contact his boss directly.
For such a long time, Huang Xianzheng and Ning Zhiheng had lost contact, making it impossible to communicate about many things and leaving them unaware of many situations. Now, Huang Xianzheng has brought the message over through Zuo Rou.
It turns out that a lot has happened in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department in the past few months. First of all, the department head's strength has increased significantly. There are rumors that the Military Intelligence Investigation Department will be upgraded to a bureau in a few months. Not only will the staffing be greatly increased, but the military will also be more lenient. The special operations unit will be directly expanded into an army. The department head can be said to have benefited greatly.
He also employed various tactics internally, and the Baoding faction, which was under immense pressure, was finding it difficult to cope. Huang Xianzheng simply stopped being a nice guy and broke off all pretense, seeking help from several powerful figures behind him. This directly led to several major conflicts. The leader knew that the army needed stability more at the moment and severely reprimanded the section chief, which finally stabilized the situation. The two sides are currently negotiating, and it is estimated that they will eventually shake hands and make peace. With a major enemy at hand, it is better to avoid further internal strife, otherwise the leader would not agree to it.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. The biggest problem in the Kuomintang was factional struggle, which permeated almost every level from top to bottom, from the government to the military, causing huge internal friction. Even the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, which had the highest level of secrecy, was no exception.
However, in retrospect, this is good news. As long as the two bigwigs reach an agreement, I will not become the target of the Director's suppression for a period of time, and my life will be easier. No wonder all of Ning Zhiheng's requests for merit were approved this time, and he even specially brought me 500,000 yuan in funding. In addition to my merits this time, the Director's concessions to the Baoding faction are also a reason.
In the following period, Ning Zhiheng focused all his energy on setting up the intelligence network.
As December approached, the Japanese army was already close to Nanjing. At this time, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, which had retreated to Wuhan, sent urgent telegrams to Zheng Hongbo, the station chief, and Ning Zhiheng, the deputy station chief, in Shanghai, ordering them to begin harassment operations behind enemy lines to attack their supply lines and slow down the Japanese army's advance.
Upon receiving the telegram, Ning Zhiheng immediately met with Zheng Hongbo to discuss the subsequent harassment operation plan.
