The director also took the case very seriously. He picked up the photo of Zhao Ziliang and looked at it. He said to Zhao Ziliang, "It seems that I have overlooked something. The files of our Military Intelligence Investigation Department, except for the information of the intelligence officers in the Intelligence Section, are kept in a special archive room with a very high level of confidentiality."
The personnel files of everyone else are kept in the regular archives. Originally, it was thought that the secrecy level of the Action Section's work didn't need to be so strict. However, the Action Section has now proven through its actions that you are the main force on the intelligence front. Your security must be taken seriously. I will arrange immediately that, starting today, your Action Section's personnel files will be stored in a special room with the same secrecy level as the Intelligence Section. Only with my authorization can they be accessed and reviewed. We must not give the Japanese any opportunity to exploit this!"
"The Director is wise!" Zhao Ziliang and Ning Zhiheng were overjoyed and stood up in unison. The Director's decision was not simple and was of great significance. It not only strengthened the personal protection of the personnel of the Action Section, but also the personal safety of their relatives.
More importantly, this was the first time that the Operations Section's primary position within the Military Intelligence Investigations Bureau was truly established, and its outstanding contributions to the intelligence front were acknowledged.
"Alright, these are necessary protective measures, nothing special!" the chief said in a kind tone, while gesturing for the two men to sit down. "This Japanese operation also reminds us that they are conducting pre-war reconnaissance. They are about to launch a counterattack. But Zhiheng is right, we are on home ground here. We must let them know that on the intelligence battlefield in Nanjing, it is our Military Intelligence Investigation Department that calls the shots!"
"yes!"
"Yes!" Zhao Ziliang and Ning Zhiheng answered in unison.
After leaving the director's office, Zhao Ziliang was still unable to calm down. He walked quickly out of the central office building, but instead of returning to his own office, he went to a corner of the Military Intelligence Bureau's square, found a step, and sat down without even wiping it. He looked at the many members of the Operations Team who were still training in the square and remained silent for a long time.
Ning Zhiheng, who had been following behind him, remained silent as he watched him sit on the steps.
After a long pause, Zhao Ziliang slowly spoke: "Zhiheng, do you know that when I was under the Chief's command, I was never the smartest one. I was just a low-level officer. Back then, I just drifted through life without thinking much."
Later, the section chief gained the leader's appreciation and suddenly rose rapidly in rank. The brothers around him all benefited from this. At that time, because I had no talent and only knew how to fight, the section chief assigned me the task of assisting him in the action section, which was also a sign of his high regard for me.
But that's how people are; once they get one, they want another. When I finally reached this position, I was unwilling to be bossed around by others, especially by Gu Zhengqi, whose face showed utter contempt for me. Unfortunately, circumstances were beyond my control. The Action Section had been suppressed by the Intelligence Section for so many years. Now, I can finally feel truly at ease. All thanks to you; otherwise, I wouldn't have made it to this day when I can finally hold my head high.
Ning Zhiheng knew that Zhao Ziliang had just received the director's affirmation and was deeply moved. He stepped forward and said, "It's all thanks to everyone. I dare not take credit. But from now on, our Action Section will have an easier time. The Intelligence Section should now revolve around us."
Zhao Ziliang laughed heartily, slapped his thigh, stood up, and said to Ning Zhiheng, "Let's not waste any more time. Go and interrogate those two Japanese spies right now and get their confessions as soon as possible. This operation must be carried out flawlessly so that others can see our strength and dare not say anything more!"
Ning Zhiheng immediately accepted the order and hurried to the interrogation department to interrogate the two Japanese spies who had walked right into the trap.
At this moment, Wang Shucheng and Sun Jiacheng, who had been waiting in the interrogation department, saw Ning Zhiheng coming and quickly came out to greet him.
They knew that after Ning Zhiheng went to report to the director, the interrogation of the criminals would begin immediately, so they waited here.
Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, and took the lead into the interrogation room, ordering, "Bring the criminal who didn't have drugs on him first, and start by getting a breakthrough from him."
