Zhao Ziliang hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Chief, now that the Japanese have intervened, I'm afraid Wu Huarong and his men are short-handed. I'll immediately send out a second group of assassins to support them!"
"That's all we can do!" the bureau chief said slowly, leaning back in his chair with a look of disappointment on his face. "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, nothing has gone smoothly lately. The assassination attempt on Huang Jishan in Guangzhou has repeatedly failed, the destruction of legal tender in Shanghai resulted in heavy losses, and we even lost Brother Dehou's family fortune. I'm so embarrassed that I don't even want to see him. He might even think that it was my men who did it. That would be a huge embarrassment for him!"
Zhao Ziliang quickly said, "Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin would never have such a guts. We just don't know who benefited and made us take the blame."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!" The director waved his hand impatiently, his eyes fixed on Zhao Ziliang. "This time, the personnel must be dispatched immediately, and more people must be added, with enough weapons. Tell Wu Huarong that this target must not be lost. If necessary, launch a direct assault. In short, tell him to kill this person at all costs, otherwise, there will be endless trouble!"
"Yes!" Zhao Ziliang quickly stood at attention and accepted the order.
Just then, Secretary Liu knocked on the door and entered.
"Director, Chief Wei of the Second Operations Division requests an audience!"
Director Zhang and Zhao Ziliang's eyes lit up. The Second Action Division was a rather independent action division within the Military Intelligence Bureau. They were a force of the Baoding clique and were mainly responsible for a series of affairs within the military, primarily overseen by Huang Xianzheng.
The deputy director, Wei Liangbi, came to report to the director on only one thing: the Shanghai intelligence section had obtained important intelligence.
"Let him in."
"yes!"
Wei Liangbi entered the office, stood at attention, and saluted the bureau chief. Seeing the pleased look on Wei Liangbi's face, the bureau chief's heart stirred, and he asked, "You look good. Do you have some good news to tell me today?"
Wei Liangbi said with a smile, "Director, you are wise. The Shanghai intelligence department sent a message that at 2:00 AM yesterday, Huo Yueze took action and burned all 1 billion yuan of Chinese currency that was under the strict protection of the Japanese, thus completing the mission!"
"What did you say!"
Is this true?
Both the bureau chief and Zhao Ziliang exclaimed in surprise and asked at the same time.
Wei Liangbi had no choice but to confirm again, saying, "Reporting to the Director, the mission to destroy the legal tender is complete!"
Upon hearing this, Director Huo stood up and pointed at Wei Liangbi, saying, "Telegram!"
Wei Liangbi quickly stepped forward and handed the telegram to the bureau chief. The bureau chief eagerly took it, staring intently at the telegram. After a moment, a look of joy finally appeared on his face.
He slammed his hand on the table in delight and exclaimed, "Well done!"
Zhao Ziliang was also in a great mood, and looked at Wei Liangbi and said, "Director Wei, your intelligence section is truly full of talented people! Huo Yueze really managed to complete such a big task?"
Wei Liangbi smiled slightly and said, "Director, you flatter me. Everyone has witnessed the capabilities of the Intelligence Section. Section Chief Huo has always performed outstandingly. This time, the Director has a keen eye for talent and has not made a mistake in choosing the right person."
The director then chimed in, laughing loudly, "The intelligence section did an excellent job this time. This mission lasted three months and finally yielded a good result. Liangbi, I will definitely commend the intelligence section for its merits. You should also send a telegram back to encourage them and offer your congratulations!"
"Yes, I understand!"
At this moment, the director's mood suddenly brightened, and the frustration of the past few days vanished. The task of destroying the legal tender was personally assigned by the Chairman. It had taken a long time, and he had inquired about the progress of the task several times, fearing that the Japanese would use this batch of legal tender to attack. The already very weak economic system of the Nationalist-controlled area could finally report back to the Chairman.
"The intelligence department mentioned in the telegram that the operation was completed successfully without losing a single soldier, but they did not provide any specific details. Liangbi, have them report the details of the operation again. I want to take a look."
The director was also very curious about the intelligence department's success this time. How did Ning Zhiheng so easily solve the task that Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin had failed to complete despite their huge efforts? He knew that Ning Zhiheng was a man of great skill and resourcefulness. No matter how difficult the task was, he could always find the most appropriate solution.
There's nothing they can't do, only things they haven't thought of. Their ability to act is unparalleled in the Military Intelligence Bureau, and this time is no exception!
