Chapter 1021 Reconstruction
Shanghai, the French Concession.

Chen Gongshu, the district chief of the military-controlled Shanghai District, hid in a safe house called "Wuzhou Pickles" shop, drinking alcohol one after another, with a bearded beard and an extremely haggard look.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep for many days since he was raided by the devils in the upper district of Shanghai. First, he didn't know how to explain to Lao Dai, and second, he was chased too closely by the traitors of No. 76.

These spies from the Cao Gang have a better sense of smell than dogs, and they have many eyes and ears. If they are not paying attention, they will be targeted by the other party, and they will work harder than the Japanese to catch their compatriots.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom."

There were a few knocks on the door suddenly, and Chen Gongshu, who seemed confused, regained consciousness in an instant, turned over and hid behind the bunker in the house, raised his gun in his hand and aimed it at the door.

A few seconds later, the sound of knocking sounded rhythmically again, and then the door was opened from the outside, a black figure flashed in, and the other person closed the door behind his back and raised his head slightly to say hello.

"District Chief Chen."

"Deputy Director Left?"

Chen Gongshu cried out in surprise, he didn't expect to see Zuo Zhong here, he quickly put the gun back on his waist and walked in front of him, not worried at all that this was a trap.

The number of Japanese who died at Zuo Zhong's hands was not one thousand, but eight hundred. Anyone could surrender to the Japanese, but the other party couldn't, and even he couldn't compare to him in terms of reliability.

After shaking hands, Chen Gongshu swept the peanut shells off the table, enthusiastically invited Zuo Chong to sit down, and then asked Shancheng if there was any new order, such as retreat, with anticipation.

To be honest, he is also an old intelligence agent, but he has never encountered such a bad working environment. If possible, he would rather return to Beiping and continue to be his station master.

Zuo Zhong smelled the pungent smell of alcohol in the room, sighed deeply, sat on the stool and looked at each other seriously, breaking Chen Gongshu's illusion┴.

"Brother Chen, I may disappoint you, this time I was assigned by the bureau chief to come to Shanghai to guide the reconstruction of Shanghai and Jinling districts, not to inform you to retreat.

You are an old man in the bureau, you should know the importance of Shanghai to the government, how can you give up lightly, as the head of the district, you must firmly remember this and cheer up as soon as possible.

Besides, one or two failures don’t mean anything. You have to realize your shame and be brave. The Bureau and the Bureau Headquarters will provide all necessary help to the Shanghai District. You are not fighting alone. "

He didn't tell Chen Gongshu all the missions he had come to Shanghai. Although he could confirm that the other party hadn't surrendered to the enemy after observation, but if he didn't have it now, it didn't mean he wouldn't in the future. It's better to keep it in mind.

When Chen Gongshu heard Zuo Zhong's words, his head drooped immediately. Yes, if it was a retreat, he could just use the radio to notify himself. Zuo Zhong, the deputy director, would not come to Shanghai in person.

After being silent for a while, he pulled himself together and reported to Zuo Zhong the losses in the upper Shanghai district.

Due to the early warning from the bureau headquarters, most of the intelligence personnel in the upper Shanghai district evacuated safely. Only the deputy district chief Zheng Shisong was captured, and three other agents died in an exchange of fire with the Japanese and No. 76 during the retreat.

Judging from the figures, the loss of personnel is indeed not large, but intelligence work is not based on the number of people, the hidden identity of the secret agent is the most important.

After this battle, the military intelligence network in Shanghai was basically paralyzed, all information channels were interrupted, and the upper Shanghai district became deaf and blind.

At the same time, the Japanese obtained photos of some personnel during the investigation, and posted rewards everywhere. Under such circumstances, follow-up intelligence work could not be carried out at all. Once the intelligence personnel were exposed, they basically lost their value, and forcing them to use them would only give the enemy their heads.

A piece of bad news made Zuo Zhong frown. He knew the situation in Shanghai was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. It seems that without a large number of personnel and equipment replenishment, it would be difficult for the upper Shanghai district to resume operations.

The problem is that the Japanese are controlling Shanghai more and more. Transferring people from other districts or headquarters may also be discovered by the devils. Moreover, the new recruits do not know the situation in Shanghai, so the risk of exposure is greater.

Major surgery must be performed on Shanghai District!
Zuo Zhong came to a conclusion silently, using conventional means, he didn't know how long it would take to complete the task assigned to him by Lao Dai.

After confirming this, he tapped lightly on the table, and Chen Gongshu, who was stunned by the bad news, came back to his senses, and immediately heard Zuo Zhong's deep voice.

"District Chief Chen, the organizational structure of the Upper Shanghai District must be changed. The complicated and cumbersome superior-subordinate relationship in the past is no longer applicable. Otherwise, if a person has a problem, the entire organization will be affected.

Just like this time, when Chen Mingchu rebelled, Shanghai District was in danger. This phenomenon is not normal. Of course, it is not all your responsibility, but we still have to pay attention to this loophole. "

Unceremoniously hitting Chen Gongshu a few words, Zuo Zhong directly expressed his dissatisfaction with this old friend, and then continued without waiting for the other party to explain.

"I suggest that the intelligence personnel who have not been exposed so far be organized into several groups. The number can be 2 or 3 people. Each group is dedicated to inquiring about a certain target's intelligence.

For example, a team can be established for No. 76, and all tasks related to No. 76 will be responsible for all tasks related to No. [-]. Isolate from the source to avoid horizontal contact between groups.

As for the transmission method of information, it will be changed to radio broadcasting to receive tasks. After the task is completed, the information will be sent out through dead mailboxes.

In this way, even if a single group is discovered by the Japanese, it will not affect the overall situation. When it is time to cut, it will be cut, it will be retreated, it will be dormant, and the loss will be minimized. "

Chen Gongshu nodded while listening, and at the same time felt ashamed. When the two first met a few years ago, one was a police student and the other was Dai Chunfeng's attendant, their identities were very different.

As a result, the other party has now become a high-ranking deputy director, but he is still working in the district station.

Zuo Zhong didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Gongshu's psychological activities. After talking about the arrangements for the grassroots personnel, he talked about the reorganization plan for the middle and high-level staff in Shanghai.

"In order to command these groups more flexibly, there will be no agency resident in the upper Shanghai District in the future, and you and others will be submerged and lurked, and will no longer participate in specific business work.

The relevant weapons, materials, and funds are allocated by the General Affairs Office through various channels, and the personnel arrangements are handed over to the Secret Personnel Section. You must pack lightly and minimize intermediate links.

The newly established intelligence team enjoys a high degree of freedom, allowing them to decide what information to obtain and how to obtain it, which can just train a group of agents who can act independently. "

When Chen Gongshu heard this, he became anxious, so he is still a district chief, a mascot?

The person surnamed Zuo is too ruthless, and I can be regarded as the other party's guide in intelligence, how can I treat myself like this.

What kind of a chief is a chief without personnel and financial power? Who cares about an empty boss? Zuo Zhong is going to cut off the roots of their upper-middle-level staff in Shanghai!

Thinking of this, Chen Gongshu couldn't bear it any longer, and said hastily.

"Be careful, I."

"Brother Gong Shu, don't get me wrong, listen to me."

Just as he was about to object, the following words were interrupted, Zuo Zhong waved his hand, and revealed the specific plan to him by changing his title.

"This is not to make you redundant. In the future, you will be responsible for the information collection and preliminary analysis of each team, and you will also be in charge of contacting the mountain city. You are still the district chief of the Shanghai District."

Not overhead?

If this is not overhead, what is overhead.

Chen Gongshu almost laughed angrily. According to the other party, Mr. Chen is a radio station director and a traffic officer, not even a station master.

Suppressing his anger and resentment, he asked with a gloomy face, what if the team needs professional operators, after all, not all agents are proficient in operational techniques.

Facing Chen Gongshu's rebuttal, or heckle, Zuo Zhong smiled and didn't care at all, but gave an explanation in a gentle tone.

"Regarding this matter, I think we should learn from the underground party, build the organization at the grassroots level, and have a lean team, where everyone is both an intelligence officer and a combatant.

If you don't have good mobile skills, you can practice. Whoever is born to be a master of mobile phones can also increase the chances of survival for the members of the Shanghai District to meet the enemy. Do you think this is the case, Chief Chen? "

Chen Gongshu groaned and didn't speak for a long time after listening, Zuo Zhong's words were not wrong, and he couldn't refute them.

He couldn't say that the agents in the upper Shanghai district just couldn't learn it. They all had two eyes, one nose and one mouth, so why should others be able to, but they couldn't.

It's understandable, it's understandable, a majestic district chief is doing the job of a radio station chief, he still has opinions in his heart, and if he doesn't turn his face on the spot, he can be regarded as a city mansion.

Zuo Zhong saw Chen Gongshu's reaction in his eyes, and shook his head secretly, feeling that the other party was a bit confused about the situation, and the old edges and corners were really worn down by the Taiping life.

Even though the Bureau Headquarters had given an early warning, the Shanghai District still lost its deputy head and three elites. As the head of the district, wouldn't he be responsible?
Lao Dai's lack of military law is based on his past affection. If the other party doesn't even have this awareness, he should simply resign early, so as not to hurt other people's lives.

Fortunately, Chen Gongshu quickly adjusted his mentality, expressed his obedience to the order in a muffled voice, and seized the time to form an intelligence team and resume operations in the upper Shanghai district.

Hearing this, Zuo Zhong's face that had been tense after entering the door finally showed a smile, and then changed his name again and gave the other party a sweet date.

"Brother Chen, it is impossible for me to stay in the occupied area for a long time, but intelligence activities are changing rapidly, and sometimes I need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily delay the opportunity of the war.

So I decided to suggest to the bureau and committee members that several front-line district chiefs be listed as members of the design committee, or even named as deputy directors. What do you think? "

You must have a degree in everything you do. As the chief executive of the upper Shanghai district, it is necessary to beat Chen Gongshu, and it is also necessary to win over Chen Gongshu.

One hit and one pull, there is a way to relax.

Besides, when Chen Gongshu heard Zuo Zhong's "hint", he immediately put his previous dissatisfaction out of the blue, and quickly nodded his head and said yes.

He likes the radio station the most. If anyone refuses to let him be the director of this station, he will be in a hurry with whoever it is.
