Spy Shadow

Chapter 896 Confirmation of departure

"Chu, my friend, long time no see."

Thomas laughed, stepped forward and hugged Chu Lingyun warmly. Chu Lingyun hurriedly pushed him away. This guy had a very thick beard. He was afraid that they would be misunderstood if they were too close.

"Thomas, didn't you just arrive? Why are you here?"

"I came here just because I just arrived. You are my best friend. I must come to see you first when I come to China."

Thomas continued to laugh, and Chu Lingyun took him to the military commander's reception room. Director Qi was standing at the window and noticed the two people walking in together, talking and laughing.

He has received news that Thomas, the American envoy, came specifically to see Chu Lingyun.

Secretary Qi naturally knew Thomas' situation. He used to be Chu Lingyun's backer in the Shanghai Public Concession. He was later captured by Jiang Tengkong, and was deliberately rescued by Chu Lingyun and sent to the United States.

Can he do something about Thomas?

After thinking for a moment, Director Qi shook his head.

This trivial matter will not bring any harm to Chu Lingyun, so there is no need to talk about it to avoid causing unnecessary complications.

He does know a lot of Chu Lingyun's secrets, but he has to use them where they should be used, instead of venting his current useless anger.

"Ring ring ring."

The phone on the table suddenly rang. Director Qi walked over and picked up the phone. He immediately stood up straight. It was a call from Xingying. The old man had something to ask him.

Soon the old man's voice came. The old man knew about Thomas's arrival at the military command and asked him why.

Director Qi didn't dare to hide anything and told Thomas' situation honestly.

"That's it, I know."

The old man hung up the phone. Thomas had a good relationship with Chu Lingyun in China before. It was Chu Lingyun's connections in the concession. He was also their protective umbrella in the concession at that time and helped the military commander a lot.

Thomas was later captured by the Japanese and rescued by Chu Lingyun more than a year later.

His current public identity is Mike's consultant, but in fact he is the liaison between Chu Lingyun and Mike. Strictly speaking, he is Chu Lingyun's person, and it is Chu Lingyun who pays to support him.

Knowing that it was Chu Lingyun, the old man immediately lost interest in meeting him.

Chu Lingyun is his, but he wants to receive Chu Lingyun's men in a grand manner. What's the big deal?

"I understand. Cancel the appointment. Whatever the Americans want, we will always cooperate and meet their reasonable requests."

The old man told the receptionist that with Chu Lingyun here, he had nothing to worry about. Thomas couldn't cause any trouble. If there was any problem, he could let Chu Lingyun handle it at any time.

"Yes, commission."

The receptionist reluctantly accepted the order. He didn't know the reason, but the old man had given the order and he must obey it.

Military Commander, after Thomas spoke for a while, his expression turned serious.

"Chu, don't be too sad. General Mike and I found out about Director Dai. It was an accident. No one wanted it. You have to take care of yourself and take care of yourself."

"Thomas, my friend, thank you."

Chu Lingyun was surprised, but still thanked him. He understood that Thomas was trying to comfort him, and really thought that he and Boss Dai had a strong relationship.

Their relationship is indeed not bad, and this time he got a lot of wealth.

His own father never gave him so much.

"General Mike said that if you have time, you can go to Japan. There are a lot of delicious food there and there are many beauties. I believe you will like it."

Thomas smiled again, still so obscene.

"Haha, thank you General Mike, I will definitely go when I have time."

Chu Lingyun did not refuse, the invitation was sincere, and he really needed to meet Mike.

In the past two years, he has given Mike a lot of money, and the dividends are a lot. Last year, he gave him more than four million, and this year's dividends are more than five million, which made Mike fat.

"Okay, let me convey it to you. If you go, the general will be very happy and will satisfy you at the same time."

Thomas is even happier. The closer the relationship between Chu Lingyun and Mike is, the more stable his position will be.

He knew his position very well, which was to serve two people. Chu Lingyun gave him money, and Mike gave him power. If either of them was dissatisfied, all his money and power would disappear.

After experiencing so much, he cherishes the life he has now and will never allow this life to slip away from his hands again.

Thomas stayed at the military command until the afternoon and had dinner with Chu Lingyun before going back in the evening.

The receptionist was speechless. Is this an official visit?

If you really want to handle private matters, it would be great if you come over by yourself. If you have to make it public, they will have to keep an eye on it, for fear that something will go wrong.

Little did he know that Mike was a face-saving person, and he did this on purpose, just to let Thomas come over in a grand manner so as to give Chu Lingyun face and make his sponsor happy.

Thomas stayed in China for five days and went to Chu Lingyun every day. Chu Lingyun had no time to work.

On the contrary, the people who came with him have negotiated several agreements with China, otherwise this visit would be a joke.

However, because Thomas, the chief official, had a very low attitude, they couldn't be tough even if they wanted to. However, the negotiators of the Fruit Party were very happy. Things that were difficult to negotiate before were so easy this time.

In fact, the price they paid has not decreased. Americans are very smart. Just because their attitude is better, they have a different feeling.

"Chu, I'm waiting for you in Japan."

At the airport, Chu Lingyun finally sent Thomas away. This guy was shameless and even more powerful than Smith.

In five days, he came here seven times. Anyone with a discerning eye could not tell that he was not here for work, but purely for himself.

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. He would go to Japan, but not now. Qi Limin was holding back his plans to target him, and Chu Lingyun would not let him do so.

It doesn't matter who is the director, the key thing is that the combat effectiveness of the military command must be reduced.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the combat effectiveness of the military commander was indeed not weak. If it remained like that, it would cause great harm to the organization.

Moreover, the military commander was about to face another restructuring, and he could not leave at this time.

"Secretary, Thomas is gone."

Xu Yuanfei came to Qi Limin's office. Director Qi looked very gloomy at this time.

Damn Thomas, what is he doing here?

Come on, come on, run to the military command every day, an American envoy, anyone who is not blind can see that he is fawning over Chu Lingyun, what is he doing?

Nowadays, the military commanders see Chu Lingyun bowing their heads and flattering him, but they are not so explicit with him as the director.

It doesn't matter if Thomas comes here, it will invisibly increase Chu Lingyun's prestige again.

Director Qi even believed that some people were already waiting for the day when Chu Lingyun would replace him.

These idiots don't know the situation at all. It is impossible for Chu Lingyun to replace him. There is no chance.

Take care of them when you have the chance in the future.

"How is the plan going?"

After a while, Director Qi asked softly, and Xu Yuanfei immediately replied: "It's almost done."

It's almost done. Just wait for Director Qi to read it again before reporting it.

Xu Yuanfei was helpless. Once Boss Dai left, the army was leaderless, and the Qi-Chu era of military unification began. He is a member of Qi Limin and must stand firmly on this side.

But Chu Lingyun is really not that easy to mess with. This time Thomas came and had a great impact. The director lost to Chu Lingyun last time, and now he is even more disadvantaged.

Chu Lingyun must be allowed to leave, and he cannot be allowed to stay in the military command.

Director Qi is not Boss Dai, so he cannot suppress and exclude Chu Lingyun like Boss Dai. If he can't do it, then he should be promoted, give Chu Lingyun a promotion, and send this uncle away to avoid getting in the way within the military system.

This is also the purpose of Director Qi's plan.

"Very good, bring it to me right away."

Director Qi ordered that his inspiration this time came from inside information.

After the return of the capital, the National Defense Department will be upgraded to the Ministry of National Defense, and their military commanders will be included in it. However, the old man still feels that the military commanders have too much power. This time not only the traffic police must be completely separated, but also some people must be separated.

It was his chance.

Since the old man thought so, he would do it. In addition to making the old man happy, he could also squeeze out some of Boss Dai's direct descendants. The most important thing is that he would have the opportunity to send Chu Lingyun away.

He couldn't kill five birds with one stone like Chu Lingyun, but this time he could kill three birds with one stone.

He knew enough about the old man. Since the old man was afraid of Chu Lingyun and hung him up, it would be best if he had no real power. In his heart, the best place for Chu Lingyun was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Doesn't he have strong relations in the United States, which just allows him to deal with Americans?

I believe the old man would be equally happy.

This was a conspiracy. Even if Chu Lingyun knew it, there was nothing he could do about it. Who made him arouse the old man's fear? This was his greatest advantage.

"Team leader, Xu Yuanfei went to the director's office again."

On Chu Lingyun's side, Chu Yuan came to report that the military commander seemed to be Director Qi, but in fact, every move could not be hidden from Chu Lingyun's eyes.

There are many smart people in the army, and there is no shortage of speculators.

When he acted as the webmaster in Guangzhou for a few days, several people joined him, not to mention that he was now more powerful.

"Looks like he's ready to drive me away."

Chu Lingyun smiled. Director Qi's thoughts could not be hidden from him. Now that he was such a big threat to Director Qi, but the other party had very few trump cards, the most appropriate and best thing was to drive him out of the military command.

"Team leader, how do you plan to respond?"

Chu Yuan asked. He had no worries. He had absolute confidence in the team leader. Not to mention Director Qi, not even Boss Dai could easily kick the team leader out of the military command.

"The only method he can use is to take advantage of the old man's psychology. Unfortunately, he ignored one thing."

Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Director Qi was indeed scheming. He was not afraid of being found out. He was very capable and found this targeted method, but unfortunately he missed a little bit.

"What's up?"

"Ms. Song."

Chu Lingyun cannot go to the old man to operate. Not only is it useless, but it has the opposite effect. It will make the old man think that he is greedy for the power of the military commander and really wants to evade Qi Limin in the military commander.

If that's the case, the old man's original arrangement will be meaningless, and not letting him take over is just to guard against him.

The intelligence department has great power, and he has a very good relationship with the military. It is easy to get the handle of the military generals and form his own small group.

The old man wouldn't watch something like this happen.

"Ms. Song?" Chu Yuan was slightly startled, not understanding what Chu Lingyun meant.

"Wait, then."

Chu Lingyun did not explain that Ms. Song likes money, which is her weakness and the most beneficial point to herself. If she makes good use of it, it can bring him great convenience.

If nothing else, Chu Lingyun just has money.

"good."

Chu Yuan didn't ask again. This was his advantage. If Ni Loach was here, he might not be able to sleep at night if he couldn't figure it out.

The next day Director Qi brought his plan to the camp and asked to see the old man.

This plan is the key and the biggest bargaining chip for whether he can control the military. There must be no room for error.

"Your plan is good, but you still need to make some changes."

The old man agreed with Director Qi's plan. Director Qi was right. The old man did intend to weaken the military command. The weakening of military command seemed to have a great influence on Director Qi, but in fact it was the greatest help to him.

Boss Dai has too much influence on the military command, and he cannot convince the public, so some people must be eliminated.

"The commission has a keen eye. When I was formulating it, I always felt something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out. With the commission, you can help me change it. This plan will definitely be perfect."

Director Qi lowered his head and said. The old man was very happy when he said: "Not only does the name have to be changed, but the relationship also needs to be transferred."

Director Qi proposed changing the name to downplay Boss Dai. The old man had this intention. In fact, overall, the plan was very good. It separated some overlapping military and local figures and allowed them to concentrate on one thing.

In this way, the power of the military will be reduced again.

There are also some older people who have no achievements but have made no mistakes. They only occupy seats and eat hard food. This time, they simply cleared out together.

"yes."

Director Qi took the order again. He was not afraid of transferring relationships. The core of military command was intelligence. Their position was a knife and nothing else. They dedicated themselves to serving the old man.

As long as he can do what the sword can do, his essence will not change, his power and status will not shrink, and the old man will still trust him.

Secondly, Director Qi’s most important power of supervision and investigation has not disappeared.

"I will take this plan over to them for discussion. You can go back first."

The old man accepted the plan, and Director Qi left happily. The most critical thing in this plan was Chu Lingyun.

Chu Lingyun's diplomatic skills were very strong, so he was transferred to a civilian position and worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The old man did not object, indicating that he recognized this suggestion.

Next, Chu Lingyun's days in the military command will be short.

As soon as Chu Lingyun left, the group was leaderless. He could take care of the remaining people slowly, but he definitely couldn't kill them. Chu Lingyun was not dead. If he really made him angry, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

It is not difficult to transfer them to idle positions, take away their power, or even transfer them out of the military command and place them elsewhere.

When he came out, Director Qi suddenly felt that the sky was getting brighter and that the military commander was about to usher in his era.

It belongs entirely to his military command.

So what if he changes his name? It just so happens that he doesn't want the name Juntong. He will be the first chief officer under the new name. That's great.

Director Qi left happily.

"Team leader, Director Qi went to the camp and just came back."

Chu Yuan came to report again and went to camp? It seems that he has already started to take action. Chu Lingyun is not worried. He will let him take action first and then make arrangements himself. The initiative will always be in his own hands.

Two days later, in the conference room.

This time it was a high-level meeting, and the old man presided over it personally. Chen Mutu and other generals were all present.

The name of the Department of National Defense is a bit small. Now that the Communist Party has millions of troops and the territory is so large, it is not good to continue to call it the Department of National Defense. It is better to directly change its name to the Ministry of National Defense. But now is not the time to change it. We have to wait until the time comes to make the change. .

"The military command should indeed be changed. This plan is good. I didn't expect Qi Limin to have such awareness."

"Yes, it is very appropriate for the military command to be renamed the Secrecy Bureau. They do secret work."

It was finally time to discuss the military unification. As soon as the plan came out, many people agreed. They had long disliked the military unification having too much power. This time, the military unification could be delegated power, which would do them no harm at all.

Chen Mutu frowned and noticed an item in the plan.

Chu Lingyun has important connections in the United States and is more suitable to help Dang Guo win more benefits from the United States. It is recommended that he go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Qi Limin was taking action against Chu Lingyun and wanted to drive him out.

Does Chu Lingyun know?

Chen Mutu didn't say anything. A plan like this couldn't be decided at once. It would have to be discussed at least several times. Today the old man came out to give everyone a break.

However, this plan was easily passed, and no one at the scene objected, including him.

From his position, he also does not want the military commander to have too much power.

"Ling Yun, are you free?"

As soon as the meeting ended, Chen Mutu called Chu Lingyun. Everyone knew about his relationship with Chu Lingyun, so there was no need to worry.

"I'll come find you when I have time."

Chu Lingyun also knew about today's meeting that Chen Mutu called immediately, which was very interesting.

Chu Lingyun tidied herself up and took Chu Yuan to see Chen Mutu.

In the director's office, Director Qi was also concerned about this matter. After the meeting, someone told him that his plan went smoothly today and no one objected.

He was slightly relieved, but this was the result he expected, and those people would definitely not object to it.

"Ring ring ring."

The phone on the table rang. Director Qi's heart tightened and he immediately grabbed the phone.

"Director, someone just called Director Chu. Director Chu went out immediately. According to my verification, it was General Chen."

Chen Mutu, he called Chu Lingyun?

The Telecommunications Department was now his, and he didn't dare to monitor Chu Lingyun at this time, but when a call came in, it would be easy to trace the source of the call.

Director Qi's expression quickly darkened.

Chen Mutu is a bastard. He called Chu Lingyun right after the meeting. He must have told him about the meeting.

However, he understood that this matter could not be hidden from Chu Lingyun. He was planning it, and it didn't matter whether Chu Lingyun knew it or not.

"Ling Yun, at today's meeting, the old man proposed reorganizing the military command. Do you know about this?"

Seeing Chu Lingyun, Chen Mutu got straight to the point, while Chu Lingyun shook his head: "I have guessed it, but I don't know the specific content."

He really didn't know that Director Qi made it himself and only reported it to the old man. Now that the meeting has just ended, he hasn't checked it yet.

"The Military Command will be renamed the Bureau of Secrecy, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense in the future. It has not yet been decided which department it will be, but Qi Limin proposed that you go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give full play to your good relationship with the Americans."

Chen Mutu looked at him. In fact, in his heart, it was not a bad thing for Chu Lingyun to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It does bring them more benefits there.

Being a spy is a good thing, but unfortunately it doesn't end well. This has been the case since ancient times.

Even if the top management doesn't attack you, what about others?

There is no way to be a spy without offending people. The more people you offend, the more enemies you will have. Once something happens, these people will immediately attack in groups, and then you will still be dead.

What's more, it's easy to block an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

"Foreign Office?"

Chu Lingyun smiled. He knew that Qi Limin definitely wanted to squeeze him away, but he really didn't expect to let him go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Qi Limin was very courageous and wanted to drive him away completely in one step.

"Yes, what do you think?"

As soon as he asked this question, he understood that Chen Mutu actually supported the change of military unification, but their relationship was unusual, so he told him specifically.

"I'm not going to the Foreign Office."

Chu Lingyun made it clear directly that there was no point in going there. Qi Limin wanted to trap him in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but that was not possible.

"Then where do you want to go?"

Chen Mutu asked again. He knew very well that Chu Lingyun could not be retained in the army. If he stayed in the army, Qi Limin would not be able to accomplish anything. It would be meaningless if the army was not rectified.

What the old man wants is the combat effectiveness of the military commander, not the military commander who fights among himself.

"I'll tell you later. Don't worry, I can't go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Chu Lingyun stood up to say goodbye, but Chen Mutu didn't stop him. He knew that Chu Lingyun was very smart, and since he said he couldn't go, he definitely couldn't go.

"Darling."

Ms. Song came to the old man and rubbed his shoulders.

"What's wrong?"

The old man smiled slightly. His wife knew that something must be wrong with her coming here.

"I heard that you want to arrange Chu Lingyun to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Ms. Song took the initiative to ask, and the old man nodded and said: "It's true. He and Qi Limin are at odds with each other. He can't achieve anything in the military unification of Qi Limin. He has such a good relationship with the Americans. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs him even more."

"Darling, have you ever thought about it? If he goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it will actually tie his hands and feet. It will be easier for the United States to put pressure on him."

Ms. Song said softly, and the old man's eyebrows twitched slightly. He had indeed thought about this.

Now that Chu Lingyun has the status of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Americans can take advantage of this. Then he compromises. The Americans couldn't do anything to him last time because he was just an agent and was lurking. The Americans had no good way to deal with him. He suppresses.

He thought about it, but he thought Chu Lingyun had a way to solve these problems.

Chu Lingyun's relationship in the United States is strong enough. If it wasn't through these relationships last time, it could be resolved in the future.

The old man made a special explanation, but Ms. Song did not refute, but said, "But have you considered his character? Chu Lingyun is a hardliner."

Ms. Song's words made the old man suddenly startled.

Yes, he ignored Chu Lingyun's temperament, mainly because Chu Lingyun's usual behavior was very decent. He did not take the initiative to make grudges with others, was not greedy for power, and only did his job. However, the last negotiation with the Americans did show that he was tough. side.

No one can make him compromise.

Diplomacy needs to be tough, but it also needs to be tolerant, especially in their relationship with the United States. Being tough will do bad things.

When the time comes, those people can't do anything to him and take out their anger on themselves?

This kind of thing is not impossible.

"You don't want to keep him in the military command, nor can you let him go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Darling, he is an espionage genius. Don't you deny this?"

The old man nodded slightly. Everyone knew that Chu Lingyun's espionage ability was unmatched.

"In this case, why don't you continue to use his strengths? If you don't stay in the army, there will be no place to go. Besides, you are so relieved about Qi Limin?"

Ms. Song continued, and the old man turned around and asked proactively: "Where do you think he should go?"

"This is not something I should be involved in. I just feel that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not suitable for him."

Ms. Song raised her lips and said that the matter was settled. She chose the best thing so far, and let Chu Lingyun solve the rest by herself.

She did come to help Chu Lingyun as a lobbyist today. The reason was very simple. Her people came to help convey Chu Lingyun's words.

Just one sentence.

Chu Lingyun said that if she went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the pharmaceutical company would not be insured.

Ms. Song immediately understood that Chu Lingyun did not want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let alone go. She had seen how tough the attitude of the Americans was last time. If there was nothing they could do about Chu Lingyun, how could they agree to only take half.

All must be taken away, even the pharmaceutical factories.

Ms. Song is very familiar with the way Americans behave. This is not a guess, it is something that will definitely happen.

Without the pharmaceutical factory, it will be difficult for her to get these profitable new drugs in the future, as is the American way.

In fact, Chu Lingyun had a way to keep the pharmaceutical factory, but it was more troublesome and more expensive. With Ms. Song here, she had received so many benefits from him in the past year, so it was time for her to contribute.

Just taking money and not doing anything is so cheap.

"What you said makes sense, let me think about it again."

The old man nodded slowly. He was indeed considering it, but he was not someone who was easily fooled.

Ms. Song's sudden remarks must have come from behind Chu Lingyun's back. He knew Ms. Song's temperament best. Now that Chu Lingyun was helping her make money, she would not sit back and watch anything happen to Chu Lingyun.

It seemed that Chu Lingyun didn't want to go.

If he doesn't want to go, you can't send him there, otherwise he won't be able to bear whatever he does there.

Qi Limin was so unreliable that he thought Chu Lingyun had already agreed to the plan he was presented with.

The old man had a headache.

"There was an accident. Did Ms. Song give you some advice?"

Military commander, Director Qi quickly received the news, and he spent a lot of money to buy the news at the camp.

The cost of each message is high.

Chu Lingyun probably couldn't go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ms. Song disagreed and persuaded the old man. The old man was shaken. There was no decision yet on Chu Lingyun's placement, but it was definitely not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Damn it."

Director Qi hung up the phone and cursed bitterly. Chu Lingyun had been promoted. Although he could not be the deputy minister, he could be the director. The director was at the same level as the director and had a higher status than him.

Why doesn't he go? Does he have to stay in the army to cause trouble for himself?

Doesn't he know that he can't sit in this position?

After a while, Director Qi calmed down. After all the hard work, he finally got a chance to let Chu Lingyun leave, but he broke it just by stretching out his finger.

This feeling of powerlessness made him uncomfortable.

Being under the eaves, he had to bow his head. He decided to discuss it with Chu Lingyun in person. The military reorganization was going to be carried out soon. It would not take long. He had to send Chu Lingyun away before the reorganization.

Otherwise, it is unknown whether he can do a good job, let alone control the military.

"Ling Yun, what are you busy with?"

He came to Chu Lingyun's office in person, and Chu Lingyun immediately stood up: "Secretary, why are you here?"

Chu Lingyun's harmless expression made Director Qi secretly hate him. He never would have thought that a humble team leader would become his biggest obstacle.

"Ling Yun, do you have time? I want to talk to you."

Director Qi naturally sat on the sofa. Infighting between him and Chu Lingyun would not do any good to the military. He believed that Chu Lingyun also understood this.

The military commander lost his boss Dai at a time when there were internal and external troubles and could not bear the heavy blow.

"Sir, please tell me."

Chu Lingyun asked Chu Yuan to make tea, and then sent him away, leaving only Director Qi.

"Ling Yun, I know you are not short of money. I can't satisfy you in terms of money. How can you make a condition before you leave?"

Director Qi got straight to the point. They are all smart people, so it is better to speak clearly.

His words reminded Chu Lingyun of Tuhara. Before Saijo came to power, he came to negotiate with him, but he had more cards than Director Qi.

"Boss, why do you have to let me leave? Wouldn't it be better for me to stay and help you?"

Chu Lingyun smiled, Director Qi's teeth were itching with anger, are you staying here to help me? It’s only right to harm me.

Power is something that no one is willing to share. He and Chu Lingyun had a good relationship before, but let alone their relationship, even if they are brothers, or even father and son, who is willing to give up power to each other?

Since ancient times, are there many examples of fathers and sons killing each other for power?

"Ling Yun, I also hope you can stay and help me, but you can't help yourself. You really can't help me much by staying."

Now that he had said it, Director Qi no longer hid it. What he said was a bit cryptic, but his meaning was very clear.

If Chu Lingyun stayed in the military command, he would naturally become the leader of the faction, and his faction was too big, hindering Director Qi's authority.

As the leader of a faction, the people below will naturally push you to do something, this is inevitable.

"I can leave, but the existing framework of the headquarters cannot be moved within three years."

When Chu Lingyun finally replied, Director Qi felt happy and nodded immediately: "Okay."

There is no problem if they don't move within three years. Xie Ziqi and Zhu Qing are not Chu Lingyun's people. They just have a good relationship with him and can be wined over. They are sensible people and will cooperate with him.

Moreover, the framework Chu Lingyun mentioned was at the director level, and he could still touch the people below.

"You need to help me wherever I go."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help."

Director Qi smiled. As long as Chu Lingyun was willing to leave, let alone ask him to help, he could do whatever he wanted.

Smart people are smart. They know that there is no possibility of upward development here and are willing to leave.

"I heard that the National Defense Department needs to be upgraded. I don't want it to be too high. Just set up an inspection office in the department responsible for intelligence."

Director Qi's smile stopped suddenly. What do you mean? What does this inspection office do?

Is Chu Lingyun addicted to being the director of the inspection department? If he is separated, he will still be the director of the inspection department?

Director Qi is not stupid. It is obvious that Chu Lingyun wants to continue to supervise them. Although he is asked to leave the military command, he still cannot escape his control, and his own path for upward development is wider.

As expected of Chu Lingyun, he is a good man.

"Can you tell me what this inspection office does?" Director Qi asked slowly.

"cannot."

Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. In fact, Director Qi must have guessed that he was supervising them, not just them, but also other intelligence departments.

From beginning to end, Chu Lingyun's purpose has not changed.

He wants to help the organization. He is on the intelligence line. Intelligence is particularly important. He wants to try his best to hinder the persecution of the organization by the Fruit Party's intelligence.

Although it is impossible for him to completely stop it with his own strength, he can only stop it as much as he can.

"Okay, I promise you."

Director Qi gritted his teeth and finally agreed. If he didn't agree, if Chu Lingyun didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to free up his hands and feet to do things, and if he couldn't achieve results, the old man would be disappointed in him.

Chu Lingyun couldn't replace him, but he didn't want to die like this.

"Thank you, seat."

Chu Lingyun smiled and thanked him. Director Qi had a wider approach, and he could save himself a lot of trouble by going to do it.

Director Qi wanted to punch him twice.

He would run the position that Chu Lingyun wanted, and he didn't know how much money it would cost. He was doing all the work, and Chu Lingyun only took the benefits. This time, he could fully feel Chu Lingyun's methods.

No wonder those Japanese were fooled around by him, it was so scary.

Time passes slowly, and Nanjing is making preparations for returning home.

This city, which suffered too much during the Anti-Japanese War, has gradually regained its vitality. Especially in order to return to the capital, many people have returned to Nanjing.

If there are many people from various departments of the party, plus their families, servants, relatives, etc., Nanjing is regaining its vitality.

"Doctor Liang."

At Jinling Hospital, Secretary Liang packed his things and got ready to get off work. He had been transferred to Chongqing before and now he is back.

Not all the people in the hospital came back, but he was among the group who came back early.

"Doctor Hu, I'm leaving first."

Secretary Liang responded with a smile. Originally, he wanted to stay in Chongqing, but the organization considered that he was more familiar with Nanjing, so he was asked to return to Nanjing and continue to lead the organizational comrades in Nanjing.

Not only is he back, many people are back together this time.

Lin Shi came back early. He came back with the eldest son. The old man had to wait until he returned to the capital to officially come back. The eldest son came back specifically to see how the preparations were going.

Chu Lingyun didn't come back, but Chu Ya did.

Her organizational relationship was also transferred to Nanjing, but due to her special status, she will not be in contact with the organization for the time being.

To put it simply, she is now in an absolute dormant period and must wait for the organization to call her, otherwise she will have to live like a normal person.

The people who came back from the military command were Xie Ziqi and Zhu Qing. They were mainly responsible for setting up the headquarters here first, so that they could have a comfortable office space immediately after everyone moved here.

Fortunately, Japan surrendered and Nanjing did not experience another war.

"Director Xie, Director Chu is really leaving this time?"

Zhu Qing and Xie Ziqi were drinking, not in the office, but in the pub outside.

Although they are now the directors of the Operations Division and the Intelligence Division, it is obvious that they do not have the prestige that Xu Yi and He Nian had back then. Not only them, Director Qi is not like Boss Dai.

To put it simply, I no longer have the same mental energy as before, or in other words, I no longer have the strength as before.

Not only them, but everyone in the army can feel it.

Especially this time, the name has to be changed to some bullshit Secrecy Bureau. The Secrecy Bureau is not as nice as the military commanders. The veteran military commanders are very dissatisfied with this.

"Didn't you ask him?"

Xie Ziqi looked at Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing shook his head. He didn't ask about this kind of thing, so it's not easy to ask.

"I didn't ask either."

Xie Ziqi smiled, but he knew clearly that Chu Lingyun would definitely leave, and it wouldn't take long, just a month or two.

It is said that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Who would have thought that in the end, Chu Lingyun would be forced to leave the army because he was too good?

"Has the director come to see you?"

Zhu Qing suddenly asked, Xie Ziqi stood up, opened the door and looked outside.

There were their men guarding it outside, but he still didn't feel at ease and took a look for himself.

"Looking for you too?"

Xie Ziqi asked in a low voice, and Zhu Qing immediately understood that Director Qi had not only attracted him, but also Xie Ziqi.

"Yes, did you agree?" Zhu Qing asked again.

He is not Director Qi's person. In such an important position, he will be removed sooner or later.

The same is not true for Xie Ziqi. They are both in an awkward situation.

"We have known each other for a year or two. Don't be hesitant when talking. I admit that the director came to me and promised me a lot of benefits. I agreed. But before that, Ling Yun came to me. I think you are the same?"

Xie Ziqi's abilities are not as good as Xu Yi's, but after so many years in officialdom, he still has this kind of wink.

He is in the same situation as Zhu Qing, but Zhu Qing's position is more dangerous. He was the deputy leader of the war situation team and worked with Chu Lingyun.

Xie Ziqi and Chu Lingyun were just cooperating.

"Yes, the same." Zhu Qing nodded.

"Ling Yun is very particular about people. I didn't expect that he would think of us before he left. Without him, it won't be long before the two of us take the initiative to resign."

Xie Ziqi sighed. Neither he nor Zhu Qing were stupid. Chu Lingyun had come to them and told them that if Director Qi persuaded them, they would just agree and don't be embarrassed.

Afterwards, news spread that Chu Lingyun was leaving the army.

The two of them were not stupid. They immediately understood that Chu Lingyun and Director Qi had reached some kind of agreement. Director Qi wanted to take over the power and kick Chu Lingyun out. Chu Lingyun was willing to leave, but asked Director Qi not to touch them.

In this way, the two men kept their positions.

"drink wine."

Zhu Qing suddenly raised his glass. After Boss Dai died, the feeling given to him by the military commander was completely changed. Qi Limin couldn't control it at all, but insisted on clinging to power. Taking advantage of the old man's fear of Chu Lingyun, he forced the most capable people away. .

The future military rule can be imagined.

Xie Ziqi talked to Zhu Qing and felt relieved. He and Zhu Qing were natural allies. Even if Chu Lingyun left, it would be difficult for Director Qi to have full control.

At this time, both of them ignored one point.

Originally, they were not Chu Lingyun's people, but after being treated like this, the character "Chu" was written on them. Chu Lingyun could take care of them even outside. In the future, whether they wanted to or not, they would be regarded as members of the Chu sect.

Whether in the eyes of others or themselves, they already have an ongoing relationship with Chu Lingyun.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

Just like Tian Junroku back then, the good Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief unknowingly became Ishihara Toru's people.

With these people present, Chu Lingyun still has a huge influence in the military command.

Little by little, Chu Lingyun's layout is not over yet. Director Qi is a bit smart, but in the face of these methods, it is not enough. If Chu Lingyun can suppress him in the military command, he can suppress him even if he is not in the military command.
