Chapter 1754 It's Easy to Be an Official If You Have Connections in High Court
Feng Na pretended to admire him and said, "Director Qian! You dared to go to the front line; you are a hero in my eyes."
Qian Fugui said with a smile, "I just went to the front line to deliver supplies, how can I be considered a hero?"
Feng Na asked with a smile, "Deliver supplies? Did you deliver the supplies to the Iron-Blooded Special Agents?"
Qian Fugui pulled her to sit down on the sofa and nodded, saying, "I delivered it! I delivered it myself."
Feng Na asked excitedly, "I heard that their entire division fought a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese at Gaojialing, killing three or four thousand Japanese soldiers and causing the Japanese to retreat. Is that true or false?"
Qian Fugui laughed and said, "Of course it's true. The battlefield can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."
Feng Na gripped his hand tightly and exclaimed in surprise, "This division is so powerful, what's their division commander's surname?"
"surname......"
Qian Fugui hesitated, unsure whether to deceive the sexy woman who was throwing herself at him.
Feng Na nestled into his arms and said sweetly, "Tell me! If you can't tell me, it means you didn't go to the front lines, and you're lying to me."
Qian Fugui hurriedly said, "I didn't lie to you."
"Boom!"
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Kong Ling appeared at the door, followed by Ning Caiwei.
Ning Caiwei saw the scene before her and angrily rebuked:
"Qian Fugui! How could you do this to Xie Lan?"
Kong Ling scolded, "Feng Na! How could you do this to Vice Minister Zeng?"
"Gentlemen! We just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk."
Feng Na hurriedly said something and left in a panic.
Qian Fugui hurriedly explained, "I just had a heart-to-heart talk with her! I didn't do anything. Sisters-in-law! Please don't tell Xie Lan and Vice Minister Zeng."
Kong Ling said irritably, "Who wants to bother with your mess? What's the situation with Xiang Chu?"
Qian Fugui laughed and said, "Great! We'll withdraw our troops and return to Chongqing immediately."
Kong Ling reached out and said, "The compensation for the officers and soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division who sacrificed their lives."
Qian Fugui opened the drawer and hurriedly said, "I'll get it right away!"
Ning Caiwei asked, "Old Qian! What did you and Feng Na talk about?"
Qian Fugui said with a wry smile, "Am I not going to the front lines? She asked me about the situation there."
Kong Ling sneered, "To please this vixen, you must have exaggerated your abilities to the heavens. Tell me! Did she ask about Xiang Chu's situation?"
Qian Fugui shook his head and said, "No! She doesn't know Brother Xiang."
Ning Caiwei instructed, "Old Qian! You are not allowed to mention a single word about Xiang Chu to anyone who asks you about him."
Qian Fugui nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I would never tell, even if you killed me."
Kong Ling scolded, "Stay away from Feng Na from now on. She's a Kuomintang secret agent, and she's not someone to be trifled with."
Qian Fugui placed the compensation money in front of her and nodded, saying, "Understood!"
Kong Ling sneered, "If you don't understand, I will definitely have Xie Lan and Vice Minister Zeng make you understand."
After speaking, she picked up the compensation money and pulled Ning Caiwei out of the office.
Qian Fugui wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking to himself, "Good heavens! I was caught trying to cheat on my wife. Brother Xiang! How come you can have so many beautiful wives? Why can't I?"
Enshi, Sanshouping.
The headquarters of the Iron-Blooded Special Agents Division, Xiang Chu's residence.
Liu Zhengxiong rushed in with the telegram, shouting, "Advisor Chu! Xiaowan! You two, take a look! So many troops besieged Yichang City, but they still couldn't take it. Chilu Xun was about to commit suicide, but at the crucial moment, the Japanese reinforcements arrived. Alas! They spared that dog Chilu Xun's life."
Yu Xiaowan scoffed, "Uncle Liu! You should say that dog's life."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "I said that damned Japanese devil is a dog, and he is a dog."
Xiang Chu took the telegram and waved his hand, saying, "Don't make sarcastic remarks. The Japanese have made Yichang impregnable. The troops of the Sixth War Zone have done their best."
Liu Zhengxiong said angrily, "Who's making sarcastic remarks? If it were up to us, we would have taken it long ago."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Don't talk big! We sacrificed so much at Gaojialing, and I'm not very confident about fighting a tough battle like Yichang."
Liu Zhengxiong said thoughtfully, "Advisor Chu! We've sacrificed so many soldiers, are there any compensation payments for their families?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! I have already applied, and the Political Department will allocate funds to provide compensation for the martyrs."
Liu Zhengxiong praised, "You're so kind. What other officer would care about a unit like ours, hastily put together and about to be disbanded? Besides, does the political department even have any money?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Yes! They received so many donations from overseas Chinese, as well as loans or borrowings from abroad, they must have kept some for themselves. In any case, we can't let the soldiers' hearts be broken."
Qian Fu walked in and reported, "Boss! Madam Kong called and said she has received the compensation and will send someone over soon."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Very good! She has done a great thing for the orphans of martyrs."
Qian Fu continued reporting: "Boss! Madam Kong called and said that you are to return to Chongqing immediately. The Iron-Blooded Special Agent Division will be split up, with one part going into the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and the other part going into other units in the Sixth War Zone."
Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "She's even more anxious than I am!"
Yu Xiaowan said, annoyed, "She arranged everything so clearly for you, isn't that good enough?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Great! We've inadvertently bolstered the military intelligence and central intelligence agencies."
Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Isn't that great? We've planted so many of our people. If Dai Nong knew, he definitely wouldn't accept a single one."
Xiang Chu handed him a newspaper and sneered, "That's not necessarily true! They've launched their third anti-communist campaign. Spies, the more the merrier."
Liu Zhengxiong took the newspaper and said angrily, "The Japanese devils had just calmed down when they gathered a large force to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. They are utterly despicable!"
Chongqing, office of the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Dai Nong is listening to Tang Cong report on the situation of the Battle of Western Hubei.
People were parading in the streets, banging drums and gongs, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Li Li opened the window and said with a smile, "Director! The propaganda team organized students and citizens to celebrate in the streets. The Sixth War Zone withstood the attack of the Japanese 11th Army, defended the Yangtze River line, and won a great victory."
Dai Nong scoffed, "What great victory? We almost let the Japanese break through Shipai."
Tang Cong laughed and said, "Director! Our Military Intelligence Bureau also deserves credit for holding the Shipai Fortress this time."
Dai Nong nodded and said, "Of course we deserve credit! The Iron-Blooded Special Agent Division was established on the basis of our special agent team."
Tang Cong suggested, "Chief! The Iron-Blooded Special Agent Division is facing dismantling. How many people do we need?"
Dai Nong said worriedly, "This unit was hastily assembled, and the quality of its personnel is uneven. Is it appropriate for them to join our Military Intelligence Bureau as agents?"
Tang Cong asked with a smile, "So, shall we?"
Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "We don't want any of the Military Intelligence Bureau members! Let them all join the front-line troops."
Tang Cong said with a wry smile, "If we don't take any of them, it will benefit the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). The CBIS will definitely take them all and use them to deal with the underground Communist Party."
Dai Nong paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes! Now is the time when the Party and the State need people, so we should accept them all. You will lead this group, and they will be used specifically to deal with the Red Party."
"Yes!"
Tang Cong accepted the order and turned to leave the office.
Li Li reported: "Director! I heard from the Political Department that Chu tide is going to be promoted to two-star general."
Dai Nong said sourly, "It's so easy to get a job if you have connections in high places! Sigh! I, the bureau chief, can't catch up with him."
