The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 466: Chinese Special Agent Group
Before Cheng Mo returned to Laozha Police Station, the news had already spread.

Wait until he drives back.

Xu Qinghe and other subordinates in the political department were already standing in line at the door to welcome him. It was obvious that they had received the relevant news a long time ago. Among their group, only Cheng Mo was promoted, so they had a chance.

To get along in the government, it is important to follow the right people.

Facing his subordinates' sincere congratulations, Cheng Mo naturally couldn't keep a gloomy face. He responded with a smile. After all, getting a promotion was not a bad thing.

Everyone followed him into the office.

"Lao Xu, you should take care of the Laozha Police Station from now on. Ah Le will help share the burden. Everything else will remain the same."

"Don't worry, boss. I promise to arrange everything for you." Xu Qinghe was also happy when he heard it. He felt that he had finally made it.

With more work to do in the Chinese group, he naturally has to divide up some tasks and assign each position to specific tasks, instead of doing everything at once.

Always give those below you the opportunity to share the burden.

Xu Qinghe can be trusted. When he gets promoted, he will naturally promote people he trusts, including Lu Le and Lei Gang.

Lei Gang's progress is slower than Lu Le's, but Lei Gang is serious about his work. Although he is not very flexible, he never compromises in executing orders and is meticulous. He is also one of Cheng Mo's most trusted people.

As for the other people, he suddenly replaced Tan Shaoliang, and there is no rule yet. If he can leave it as it is, then don't do it for the time being. Let's wait and see after this year.

Don't celebrate the New Year, as it will make people uneasy.

After the meeting, Wang Shiru did not stay in the Central Police Station, but went directly to the Red Cross Hospital. Tan Shaoliang's condition worsened. According to the critical illness notice issued by the doctor, unless a miracle happened, he would only be alive in a day or two.

Tan Shaoliang started out as a detective, and it was not easy for him to get to where he is today. Of course, he is not a good person, and now he is very close to the Japanese. Many people call him a traitor.

Now he seems to have received the punishment he deserved.

However, given that he had served in the International Settlement Police Station for a long time and had made certain contributions, the top brass of the Municipal Council were quite positive about his achievements, and many people had a good impression and evaluation of him.

I'm afraid that after Tan Shaoliang's death, he will be honored much more than Lu Liankui. The status of the Inspector General of the Criminal Division is different from that of the Inspector General of the Political Division.

Tan Shaoliang's status is obviously much higher.

As the successor, Cheng Mo had already visited once when the accident happened, and there was no need to go again now, as he did not have much of a relationship with Tan Shaoliang.

Now we can only wait until he dies, then go to the funeral home to hold a memorial service and pay our respects to his remains.

The next focus is the handover of the work of the Chinese group. Tan Shaoliang’s assassination was too sudden. Some of his work may be handled only by him, and some is done by Wang Shiru.

It is easy to delegate power, but difficult to take it back.

The Political Unit, also known as the Secret Service Unit or the Political Department, is a powerful agency that handles intelligence and political cases.

The Special Agent Unit was divided into six groups: Intelligence, Chinese, Liaison, Foreigners, Indians and Film Censorship. A Japanese group was added after the Battle of Shanghai. Among them, the four groups of Intelligence, Liaison, Foreigners and Film Censorship were all headed by Westerners. The leaders of the three groups, the Chinese, Indian and Japanese groups, were Chinese, Indian and Japanese respectively according to their nature.

The chief of the special agent unit is Robertson. He is the boss of the department and everyone likes to call him Supervisor Lao.

The head of the intelligence team is Pride, and the head of the Indian team is a serious Sikh man named Akali.

The head of the foreign group was a U.S. Navy captain, Todd Billy. The head of the film censorship group, a man Cheng Mo dealt with more often, was a Portuguese with Swiss nationality named Marcelo.

The Japanese group was formed later, and the team leader was Kitaro Miyamoto, who had some conflicts with Cheng Mo.

The Special Agent Unit originally had four divisions under its jurisdiction. Each division patrol room had a detective officer, who served as a detective or a chief inspector. There were also special armed forces and special agent squads. The special agent squads were mainly responsible for the leadership of the intelligence group. In addition to his duties in the Chinese group, Cheng Mo also had work in the intelligence unit.

Therefore, he is different from other detectives in the Chinese group. He has a powerful force in his hands. Cheng Mo became the acting leader of the Chinese group, which means he has truly entered the core power class of the political group.

If he was not the leader of the Chinese group, the Japanese would not be able to find him when they had something to do. But now he is the acting leader, and he can't refuse if the Japanese find him.

Since it has come to this, I can only accept it.

"Boss, shall we book a private room tonight to celebrate for you?"

"No, Team Leader Tan is still in the hospital." Cheng Mo thought for a moment and shook his head to reject Xu Qinghe's suggestion.

……

Tan Shaoliang ultimately did not survive. After the operation, he had a brief improvement, but his condition soon took a turn for the worse.

The wound was infected and the complications were serious.

The patient became delirious due to fever and died on the third day after the operation. The Tan family was in tears. It was New Year's Day and it was so tragic.

However, the death of a traitor can only make the simple patriotic people applaud.

But for his relatives, no matter how bad this person was, his departure would always cause sadness.

The funeral was very grand.

There were many high-ranking officials and celebrities from the concession who attended the memorial service, and the Municipal Council also praised him highly for his service in the police station.

Some Japanese and Wang Puppet regime members also participated, as well as various departments of Shanghai where Fu Xiao'an was mayor, and members of the Qinghong Gang.

Tan Shaoliang also has many disciples.

A grand ritual.

Half of the street in front of the Wanguo Funeral Home was blocked.

This can be considered as posthumous honor.

The burial will not take place in the first month of the lunar year. The body will be temporarily stored in the International Funeral Home until a day is chosen for burial.

Basically, this person's life has been judged so far. As for his merits and demerits, it will be left to future generations to judge.

People like Tan Shaoliang are just an extremely insignificant figure in history. The fact that he was able to leave behind a name is much better than most people, although it is not a good reputation.

The era of Tan Shaoliang is over.

Cheng Mo, the acting leader of the Chinese group, has officially taken office. If nothing unexpected happens, the word "acting" will be removed soon.

However, Wang Shihe's position as deputy team leader will not be removed for the time being unless he resigns.

However, who would be willing to give up the power in his hands to others? When Tan Shaoliang was the team leader, he was just a yes-man and a follower. He had to listen to Tan Shaoliang on many matters. As the deputy team leader, he was at most a specific executor, and there were not many areas where he could make decisions.

But when Cheng Mo became the boss, he would not hold all the power in his hands. That was too unrealistic and he did not have the energy for it.

Focus on the big things and let go of the small things, and delegate power appropriately.

What's more, he has very little experience in the Chinese group. Although he has endorsements from all sides, he is still inevitably looked down upon by some people.

It takes time to build authority.
