Zhao Ziliang was the top-ranked division chief, holding the highest position among the division chiefs. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other division chiefs began to complain, which made Tian Jin a little overwhelmed.
With a casual remark, Wei Liangbi turned the tables on him, leaving Tian Jin in a sorry state. He quickly clasped his hands and begged for mercy, saying, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please don't come after me! Resources are scarce right now. Even a vacuum tube costs a fortune on the black market. I have no choice. I still have over a hundred radios that are unusable because I don't have replacement parts! Please bear with me for a while longer!"
Wei Liangbi was secretly pleased with himself. Other departments were short of funds, but the Second Operations Division had additional subsidies. All the scarce materials were stocked in the Second Operations Division. He, as the steward, was living a very comfortable life and naturally did not need to care about the Telecommunications Division taking up its share.
Just then, the two bureau chiefs walked in, and everyone immediately fell silent, sat up straight, and waited for them to speak.
After glancing at everyone, the Director and Huang Xianzheng began the meeting and quickly resolved the issues discussed that day.
"Huang Jishan in Guangzhou has officially defected to the Japanese. Our Guangzhou station escaped this time thanks to our timely response, but we have made no progress in our anti-traitor work. We need to send more personnel to continue assassinating him. Xiang Nan, you select the personnel!"
"Yes!" Bian Ze quickly nodded and accepted the order. He had always been in charge of the Guangzhou station, so the director had specifically called on him.
After everything was settled, the Director, as usual, asked Wei Liangbi, "Does the Shanghai Intelligence Section have any new intelligence?"
Wei Liangbi quickly took out a coded telegram from his document bag and handed it to the bureau chief. After the bureau chief opened it, his expression changed and his gaze swept towards Huang Xianzheng, who was standing to the side.
Huang Xianzheng was taken aback. He quickly spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know the contents of the telegram either.
Wei Liangbi quickly explained, "This is an urgent telegram that I just received, and I haven't had time to report it yet!"
The bureau chief forwarded the telegram to Huang Xianzheng, who glanced at it and his expression turned somewhat grim.
The telegram revealed that the vice president, who was far away in Hanoi, Vietnam, had actually sent a special envoy, Gao Zhiwu, to negotiate with the Japanese!
The bureau chief said coldly, "It seems all our previous work has been in vain. This coded telegram is very important, and I need to report it to the principal immediately."
After speaking, the director signaled the end of the meeting. He got up and walked out. Huang Xianzheng gestured to Wei Liangbi, and the two left one after the other. Then everyone dispersed.
Wei Liangbi followed Huang Xianzheng back to his office. Huang Xianzheng sat up straight and then said, "Zhiheng's information network is getting better and better. The Japanese just made contact with Gao Zhiwu yesterday morning, and the intelligence was released that evening. Judging by this speed, he definitely didn't buy it from the intelligence market. He must have information channels within the Japanese."
Wei Liangbi nodded and said, "That's what I think too. The intelligence department is growing stronger and stronger in Shanghai. The intelligence work they've done is truly outstanding. No wonder some people are jealous. But I think the Director is well aware of this. I'm just afraid he might have other ideas!"
Huang Xianzheng snorted coldly and said calmly, "The kind of person he is is the kind who would rather sleep with his official seal on his hands than be plotted against with his gavel! But this time, Zhiheng's intelligence came just in time. In the past few days, some people in the General Headquarters still had illusions about that Vice President, hoping for a peaceful resolution. The Chairman even sent him a passport and travel expenses, hoping he could travel to Europe. But look! Now that they have already sent people to negotiate with the Japanese, their determination is clear. To still have wishful thinking is a joke! Just you wait and see. The Director will arrange the assassination mission as soon as he returns from the General Headquarters. Remember, if you are asked to carry out the operation, you must push the blame onto me and make him talk to me directly. Last time, he got the upper hand and gave Zhiheng such a dangerous task as destroying the legal tender. This time, if you want us to take action, we must negotiate a price. I, Huang, will not let this go until I have torn a piece of his flesh!"
