Agents of the Republic of China

Dai Li's arrival forced Pei Gang to lead the people back out in despair. Seeing that the matter was over, He Chong was really led out. Before leaving, he secretly greeted Lin Xiaotang. Obviously Dai Li also knew He Chong and Lin Xiaotang. The friendship between them was just a relaxed smile, and they entered the living room to have tea under the guidance of the big head.

Lin Xiaotang asked He Chong curiously, "Aren't you in the Ninth War Zone, why are you acting as a military police again?"

He Chong was very troubled by this question, "Is there any way, the arrangement of the elders in the family, but I have already submitted the application. I am afraid that there will be wars in the Ninth War Zone. Chongqing is not suitable for me. I still want to go back to the frontline army!"

Lin Xiaotang patted him on the shoulder enviously, "Success, you have the guts. You are indeed the brothers who fought together back then. If you really return to the Ninth War Zone, just talk about what you need. I have a way and I can get anything!"

He Chong's eyes lit up, "I guessed that you were not kicked out by the military commander at all. It is definitely not a coincidence that Boss Dai personally rescued you today. You said this sentence. Once my brother needs your help one day, you can Can't deny it!"

Lin Xiaotang chuckled, the two made an appointment to meet, and then sent He Chong and others out of the courtyard.

After returning to the living room, Lin Xiaotang had time to look at Dai Li, the boss whom he had never met.Dai Li was not tall, dressed in a gray Chinese tunic suit, with well-knit hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he saw Lin Xiaotang coming in, his eyes lit up, and he stood up immediately.

Lin Xiaotang stepped forward quickly, and saluted a standard military salute, "Hello Director Dai!"

Dai Li chuckled, stepped forward and held Lin Xiaotang's hand, "Youzhong, you have to figure it out, you are now a lieutenant general, and I am just a mere major general!"

One sentence stunned Lin Xiaotang, and Shen Zui, who came with Dai Li, hurried forward to explain, "Youzhong, Director Dai's words are correct, your lieutenant general rank was won by Director Dai for you!"

It turns out that Dai Li's current military rank is indeed the rank of major general, but his major general is far more prominent and affordable than some lieutenant generals or admirals with false names. The army of the regiment is currently the most advanced force in equipment and training in the Communist Party. Coupled with the hidden strength of the military command that has penetrated into various industries and fields, it can be said that the current military command is the most powerful in the national government and has won the trust of Chiang Kai-shek. department.

And Lin Xiaotang's military rank is because on the one hand, he is the person in charge of the military command in the enemy's rear, and on the other hand, he also wears a hat of the general affairs supervisor of the armed forces behind the enemy, which is equivalent to controlling a certain army.Although not purely from the army, these days, major generals and lieutenant generals are flying everywhere in the enemy's rear rescue camp, and even Du Yuesheng has the title of major general on his head.

Listening to Shen Zui's high-spirited talk, Lin Xiaotang quickly figured out the meaning of it, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.After doing it for a long time, my so-called lieutenant general is just an honorary title.

Lin Xiaotang and Dai Li were polite for a while, and insisted that Dai Li sit in the front seat, and the two sides took their seats.

Similarly, Dai Li was secretly looking at Lin Xiaotang.Although he was already familiar with all the information about Lin Xiaotang, Dai Li was still a little surprised when he first saw it.The potential opponent in his heart is really so young. Thinking of his domineering in the enemy-occupied areas, especially in Shanghai and Nanjing in the past few years, Dai Li couldn't help feeling a mixture of jealousy and suspicion in his heart.

Lin Xiaotang sat aside respectfully, quietly waiting to listen to Dai Li's instructions.Dai Li held a cup of tea in his hand, and was a little distracted for a while.

There was an unbearable silence in the living room for a moment.

Chang Huan, Liu Baojia and others looked at each other, not understanding why this happened.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shen Zui hurriedly said haha, "Youzhong, Director Dai heard that you have encountered some trouble here, put down the work at hand, and rushed over to rescue you immediately. Director Dai takes you very seriously. hehe."

Lin Xiaotang just replied lightly, "Xiaotang is young and has little knowledge, and I don't have any acquaintances in Chongqing. The director is worried about it. I am sorry to trouble Director Dai to help me out in his busy schedule. Xiaotang is really grateful."

Dai Li chuckled and waved his hands, "You are welcome, these two years have been all thanks to you supporting our military affairs in the occupied areas. Without you, how could we have been able to control every move of the Japanese? You have worked hard. This point is not only me, but even the commissioner has it in mind."

Lin Xiaotang was slightly startled, but he just bowed slightly, and didn't show how flattered he was, which made Dai Li a little disappointed.

Dai Li took a sip of tea and decided to get straight to the point. His plan was that it would be best if Lin Xiaotang could be dealt with before the national conference. After all, there are many factions within the military system. I'm afraid that nights will be long and dreams will be many. If something happens, it will definitely have an impact on my hope to solve the blows of major factions and local powerful factions in one fell swoop through this Chongqing meeting.

Lin Xiaotang can be regarded as the largest local power faction in the military system at present. He is different from the Guangdong faction, Zhejiang faction and other factions. He can be regarded as an out-and-out local prince. He is still obedient, and does not pay attention to conditions when doing things. It can be said that he has completed the tasks assigned by his superiors very well. From this point of view, Dai Li is still very satisfied.But Lin Xiaotang's problem must be solved. From another perspective, Lin Xiaotang has provided a very bad example for various factions and local powerful factions. If things go on like this, who will take the headquarters seriously. must be weakened.

"Youzhong!" Dai Li had made up his mind, and then he said slowly, "In the past few years, your achievements are obvious to all, and I also know that you have always been wary of the headquarters. But now it is during the national war , we must be sincere and united in order to win the final victory."

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "What the director said is true, Xiaotang deeply agrees, but I don't know what I should do?"

Dai Li paused for a moment, and then said: "Youzhong, I don't know if you are willing to work at the headquarters. Don't think too much, I have no other intentions. You have been behind the enemy for a long time, and it has been difficult for you these few years. I am for you. Besides, you have so many brothers under your command, they will need to be promoted and resettled after all. And don’t worry, I understand that the current war is at a turning point, and the personnel structure in the occupied area must not undergo major changes .Tianjin, Beiping, Qingdao, and Nanjing will maintain the current structure, but I have to think long-term in Shanghai. Don't worry, even if you return to the headquarters to work, your salary and position will remain the same, and you will assist me as my deputy I direct the unified action of the whole country."

Datou, Chang Huan and others' eyes flickered, but they all looked at Lin Xiaotang. They all knew that this was Dai Li's test of Lin Xiaotang before the national meeting.It can be said that the price offered is not low. As long as Lin Xiaotang agrees, he can become a high-ranking military leader on par with Zheng Jiemin, Tang Zong, Mao Renfeng and others. In time, even if Dai Li resigns, Lin Xiaotang, the youngest among the high-level officials, will be the same To be able to fight for the supreme command of the military command, these are the prices offered by Dai Li, especially since he has already stated that he will accept Lin Xiaotang as a deputy. This is the treatment that Zheng Jiemin and others have not been able to enjoy until now.

Lin Xiaotang took a deep breath and stood up, "Don't worry, Director Dai, Xiaotang will firmly support the decision of this meeting, but he is driven and obliged."

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy seized his heart. He never thought that Lin Xiaotang could agree to his suggestion so readily, and a simple trial could achieve such a big result.Lin Xiaotang agreed to surrender, which made the forces of the various factions in the occupied area that were originally unified by him return to the control of the headquarters, which also meant that Dai Li's military command would complete the real unification of government orders.

"On this point, it is definitely not an exaggeration to give Lin Xiaotang the position of the second in command of the military. No, even if he is handed over to some real power departments, this deal will definitely be worth it!" Dai Li thought excitedly.

After seeing off Dai Li and the others who were full of interest, Datou and Chang Huanxi surrounded Lin Xiaotang, "Old Qi, how can this be done? We can't give up all the territory and people based on Dai Li's words. What shall we do in the future, is it possible to return to Chongqing to work as an office, and when we arrive in Chongqing, we are not yet the playthings in his Dai Li's hands, we can knead as much as we want! Are you crazy?" The most impatient big head asked.Although Chang Huan, Liu Baojia and the others did not speak, their eyes were full of hesitation.

Lin Xiaotang smiled, and ordered Jiao Da to ask the people outside to strengthen their vigilance, and then led everyone to the study in the backyard. This place has been carefully checked by his subordinates and confirmed that there is no eavesdropping equipment.

Lin Xiaotang looked at the people in the room, Datou, Chang Huan, Liu Baojia, Shangzhi, Guo Zhui.They are all subordinates that I absolutely trust, so I opened my mouth, "Why, you have been born and died for so many years, do you still plan to continue?"

The big head suddenly became angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? We have become popular in the enemy-occupied area. As long as we don't want to, no one can touch us. Fortunately, Dai Li will let you hand over the territory with a word. And military power. But given the false name of a deputy, why are you working so hard for him?"

Lin Xiaotang looked at Chang Huan and Liu Baojia, "A Huan, brother Baojia, how about you?"

Chang Huan and Liu Baojia looked at each other, "What do you say, what should we do?"

Lin Xiaotang looked at Shangzhi again, "Xiaozhi, how about you?"

Shangzhi smiled, stretched out his hands to brush up the hair on his forehead, "I know you must have been fully prepared before coming to Chongqing, this situation is not much different from what you and the teacher expected in advance, so, I miss you You must retreat to advance!"

Lin Xiaotang laughed softly, and looked at the crowd again, "Xiaozhi is right, I have already prepared, the reason why I agreed to Dai Li on this occasion is because I thought very clearly that I must not be the second Zhang Hanqing !"
