Chapter 4 The Dandy Who Demands Bribes
Several voices of "Take care!" came from behind Xiang Chu.
When he was sent to the Education Department at this time, his roommates all had a bad feeling.
During these three years in military academy, Xiang Chu was different from them and was incredibly outstanding.
His scores in many military subjects were even better than those of his instructors.
Of course, these are just the obvious ones.
In addition to being familiar with Japanese and Russian, Xiang Chu also studied German and English during his three years in the military academy.
He also diligently practiced the fighting skills taught by his master, as well as various secret techniques. He had 28 willow-leaf throwing knives and hundreds of steel balls hidden in his vest, and he never missed a target.
Moreover, Xiang Chu has a strong sixth sense and the ability to foresee danger. He is a real super talent.
Soon, Xiang Chu arrived at the teaching office and reported loudly:
"Infantry Squad 1 student Xiang Chu is here to report!"
"Come in!"
The powerful voice of Director of Studies Liu Zhiyang rang out.
Xiang Chu stepped into the office and stood at attention with his chest puffed out.
Liu Zhiyang is very busy today, so he just gets straight to the point:
"Xiang Chu! Your graduation assignment has been adjusted. The Military Intelligence Investigation Department specifically wants you. There is a car waiting to pick you up outside the gate. Go quickly!"
"what?!"
Xiang Chu looked at Liu Zhiyang in disbelief.
He never expected that there would be such a turn of events, which was exactly what he wanted to do to stay and avenge "Cuckoo", complete the instructions of an important leader, and infiltrate the heart of the White Party.
Moreover, he had been collecting intelligence under the training of his master since he was a child, which was equivalent to returning to his old profession.
There is no need to go to the northwest front and deliberately "fire blanks", which is relatively safer.
Seeing his surprised and thoughtful expression, Liu Zhiyang habitually put on the airs of a dean and shouted:
"Xiang Chu! Although the Military Intelligence Investigation Department is a dangerous place, not suitable for ordinary people, you are the most outstanding student of the 10th class of Huangpu Military Academy. Are you not qualified for the work there?"
Xiang Chu straightened up and reported loudly: "Report to the Director! Xiang Chu will definitely be able to do the job and will never let you down."
Liu Zhiyang waved his hand and said, "Very good! Let's go."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu turned and walked out of the teaching office. There was a military truck waiting outside the door.
A lieutenant officer stepped forward and urged:
"Xiang Chu! Get in the car quickly. We're waiting for you."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu nodded, but hesitated for a moment as he looked in the direction of the dormitory.
The lieutenant officer was very careful and saw through his thoughts. He shouted:
"Kid! You are going to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. The fewer people who know about it, the better. You will not have any contact with your classmates in the future. Get in the car quickly!"
"understand!"
Xiang Chu hurried into the carriage and sat down on the floor leaning against the door.
There were actually four other people in the carriage, all of whom were classmates from different classes at the same time.
"Xiang Chu! Are you going to the Military Intelligence Department as well?"
The four students said in unison.
Needless to say, Xiang Chu is very famous among the classmates in this class.
Xiang Chu had an excellent memory. He pointed at the four people one by one and said:
"Dai Zhengtong! Zhao Xihe! Sun Ruize! Li Dongqiang!"
The four of them were stunned. They didn't expect Xiang Chu knew everyone's name.
However, the better you are, the more jealous you will be, especially from your future colleagues.
Dai Zhengtong sneered, "Xiang Chu! You are so outstanding, and you can show your talents on the front line. Why do you want to go to the Military Intelligence Department? You can only be like my uncle, at most a director."
Xiang Chu was surprised and asked, "Is your uncle a farmer?"
Dainong is the director of the Military Intelligence Department and is highly appreciated by the Chairman.
"Exactly!"
Dai Zhengtong said proudly, and after a pause,
"I went straight to the telecommunications department, the same department as our last year's school beauty, Ning Caiwei. Haha!"
"Ning Caiwei?!"
Zhao Xi and the other three exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, Ning Caiwei is extremely beautiful, and which military man would not love her?
However, such a stunning beauty is born to be a son of a wealthy family.
Sun Ruize said with a smile: "Zhengtong! We are from the same hometown. Please talk to your uncle and arrange for me to join the Intelligence Department. I heard that the Intelligence Department is the first department of our Intelligence Department and is not as dangerous as the Operations Department."
Dai Zhengtong glanced at Sun Ruize and sneered:
"What's in it for me?"
"This box of Hardman and French currency is for you."
Sun Ruize stuffed a pack of brand new Hardmen and two French francs into Dai Zhengtong's pocket.
The National Government implemented the legal currency reform in 1935, stipulating that the banknotes issued by the Central Bank, Bank of China and Bank of Communications were legal tender (later the Farmers Bank of China was added).
The legal currency was relatively strong at that time, but in the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, it depreciated sharply and collapsed completely.
Sun Ruize gave Dai Zhengtong 100 yuan in French currency, which made Dai Zhengtong very satisfied.
"I will handle it!"
Dai Zhengtong patted his chest and said, looking at Xiang Chu and the other two with a sly smile,
"Why don't you use your allowance to honor me? Get a good job."
Xiang Chu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and quietly put all the money he had into his master's pocket yesterday.
This was the most difficult period for the Red Party. 4 elite troops were compressed into a small area in northern Shaanxi. The local population was only about 40 and economic resources were scarce.
There were also hundreds of thousands of White Party troops surrounding and suppressing the enemy. The soldiers were short of medical care, medicine, clothes and food, which really made him worried. He wished he could give away everything he had, so how could he give even a penny to this dandy boy?
Zhao Xihe and Li Dongqiang smiled at each other, and took out the only money they had and stuffed it into Dai Zhengtong's pocket.
Zhao Xihe said with a smile: "Zhengtong! I also want to go to the Intelligence Department."
Li Dongqiang whispered, "Zhengtong! I want to go to the logistics department. Please arrange it for me."
"no problem!"
Dai Zhengtong said domineeringly.
Sun Ruize flattered, "That's right! We will all follow your lead from now on."
"Yes! Yes! I will follow your lead."
Zhao Xihe and Li Dongqiang also spoke hurriedly.
The four of them all looked at Xiang Chu, who was resting with his eyes closed. Dai Zhengtong, in particular, had a look of anger on his face and wanted to teach Xiang Chu a lesson.
He shouted, "Xiang Chu! Are you determined to go to the Operations Department?"
He started to engage in corruption right after graduation, but this is the consistent style of the White Party from top to bottom.
This guy actually went to the wrong place. He should really go to the logistics department where there is more money.
After listening to their farce, Xiang Chu opened his eyes and neither confronted him directly nor pointed it out. He said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"Just the same! Fortune and wealth come from risk! I might as well go to the Operations Department. If I catch a few Japanese spies, won't I be able to get promoted and make a fortune? With my ability, you know."
The four of them were deeply impressed by these words.
Sun Ruize whispered, "Zhengtong! We must not let him go to the Operations Department. Otherwise, with his excellence, he will definitely be far better than us."
Dai Zhengtong nodded and said in a low and powerful voice, "Then I will send him to the archives room and he will never be able to get out of this position."
Xiang Chu heard what this guy said with his extraordinary hearing, but he didn't believe that this guy really had that much power.
However, the following arrangements refreshed his understanding.
