Chapter 183 Elite Special Forces
Xiang Chu was promoted to major and deputy chief of the operations department by chance.
In addition to the fact that Dai Nong deliberately promoted Xu Xu, it was also because Wang Senwu was kidnapped by Japanese spies and could no longer stay in the Shanghai Intelligence Station.
Dainong played a political trick and sent Cai Huawen to Shanghai Station as station chief, and transferred Wang Senwu back to the Operations Department as section chief.
Doing so is equivalent to making a beautiful wedding dress for Xiang Chu.
Dai Nong looked at the frustrated Xu Xu and said helplessly: "Xu Xu! You can't stay in Nanjing anymore, so go back to Changsha Station."
But Xu Xu shook his head and said, "Cousin! Can I go to the Hangzhou Intelligence Station? It's closer to home and I can take care of my parents."
Dai Nong thought about it and nodded, "That's fine! Hangzhou Station has just transferred Ye Hongguang, so why not transfer the deputy station chief as well? You can go and be the deputy station chief."
"All right!"
Xu Xu said very aggrievedly.
"Work hard! There will always be opportunities."
Dai Nong patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Xu Xu said bitterly: "I really don't want to be tricked by that kid named Xiang."
Dai Nong shook his head and said, "You are no match for that boy, so don't mess with him in the future."
"No! I will take revenge if I get a chance."
Xu Xu shook his head, turned and walked out of Dainong's office and closed the door.
Liu Mei walked out of the inner room, massaged Dai Nong's shoulders, and sneered, "My dear! Xu Xu is 'not good at accomplishing things, but good at causing troubles'. I am right, am I not?"
"That's right! You really are the female Zhuge."
Dai Nong nodded and closed his eyes to enjoy her massage.
At this time, in Xiang Chu's office.
Xiang Chu put the film of the weapon blueprint into an envelope and handed it to Liu Zhengxiong, saying, "Old Liu! This film is very important. You go give it to the people at the traffic station and make sure to send it back home."
Liu Zhengxiong took the envelope and hid it in his pocket, then said with a smile: "Leader! Can you give me a promotion so that my Ah Mei will respect me more?"
Xiang Chu placed the teacup in front of him and ordered, "Pour a glass of water for the head of this department first!"
Liu Zhengxiong's expression changed instantly, and he scolded: "Boy! This is bureaucratic style."
Xiang Chu said coldly: "What did you just say? Are you trying to get an official position? How can a revolutionary comrade put forward conditions for his work?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't go, really!"
Liu Zhengxiong muttered, picked up the cup and found it was full of water, and shouted,
"You kid are fooling me."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "I was just kidding! I nominated you to be the team leader a long time ago. Haha!"
"You're just a weird bird!"
Liu Zhengxiong said with a smile, then covered his mouth, ran out of the room and closed the door.
"Bang!" There was a sound.
It seemed like a book hit the door behind me.
Xiang Chu stood up and picked up the book, thinking to himself:
"This guy is always careless with his words. He needs to be disciplined more often in the future."
Since returning from Shanghai, I have not visited the two department leaders.
He picked up two suitcases filled with gifts, walked out of the room and headed straight for the main office building.
He first came to Ning Changde's office and knocked on the door.
Ning Changde was reading a newspaper. When he saw him come in, he quickly put down the newspaper and said happily:
"Boy! Uncle is so happy for you. Your promotion is faster than taking a plane."
"Uncle! It's all thanks to you."
Xiang Chu complimented, paused, and said with a smile,
"These are the toys I brought back for Baoer from Shanghai, as well as some local specialties, new toys, and antique jade."
After he finished speaking, he opened the exquisite leather suitcase on the coffee table and showed it to Ning Changde.
“This suitcase is exquisite!”
Ning Changde praised, and hurriedly stood up to check, and said happily, "You kid! You have taken into account the hobbies of me, your aunt, and Baoer. Haha!"
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "This is not even a sign of respect!"
Ning Changde was very satisfied. He sat back in his office chair and said worriedly, "Xiao Xiang! Your promotion to deputy section chief this time was actually a result of Xu Xu's help. You accidentally slapped Dai Nong in the face. I'm afraid he will be unfavorable to you."
"I didn't expect Xu Xu to use the basketball game to identify me. He really has eaten too much."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, knowing that he was referring to something, he changed the subject and asked with a smile,
"Uncle! What kind of trouble do you think Dai Nong will put on me?"
Ning Changde sneered, "The higher-ups asked us to form an elite special forces team to deal with the upcoming Sino-Japanese war. They are specialized in assassination, raids, intelligence gathering, and cooperating with troops in combat. You were the first person they thought of."
Xiang Chu had this idea long ago, and it was exactly what he wanted. He pretended to be helpless and said, "Uncle! It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. We can only let it be."
"Yes! Living in troubled times, it is really helpless."
Ning Changde was also helpless. After all, Xiang Chu was indeed the most suitable candidate.
Xiang Chu exchanged a few words of greeting, then left his room and walked to the door of Dainong's office carrying his suitcase.
He knocked on the door gently, and only opened it and walked in after someone inside responded with "Come in".
Dai Nong was sitting at his desk, flipping through a document. When he saw him come in with a suitcase, he immediately smiled.
Xiang Chu specially opened the exquisite suitcase on the coffee table and said with a smile: "Master! This is the local specialties, new toys, jade, and some 'yellow croaker' that I brought back from Shanghai for you and your wife, but none of them are respectful!"
Dai Nong had to be happy and nodded, "Very good! I didn't expect you to respect me so much."
Xiang Chu said respectfully: "Xiang Chu has never had any second thoughts about you, thank you for repeatedly making exceptions to promote me."
"You've earned this through your own hard work!"
Dai Nong said approvingly, paused, handed a document to Xiang Chu, and said with a smile,
"The higher-ups have asked us to form an elite special attack team. Deputy Director Ning and I both think you are the most suitable candidate. You will definitely be able to do the job, right?"
His words did not give Xiang Chu any chance to refute. Xiang Chu understood and said firmly:
"Don't worry, Director! The country is in danger, how can I live in disgrace? Of course I am willing."
"Great! It's true that heroes emerge from youth."
Dai Nong seemed to be moved by him and praised loudly, then paused.
"Xiao Xiang! There is no need to rush this matter. You should hurry up and prepare. Take this document. It contains the details of the establishment."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly accepted the order.
He came out of the farmer's room and walked towards the archives room, wanting to talk to Li Maocai.
But unexpectedly, at the door of the telecommunications room, he met Lin Qiaoer head-on.
Lin Qiaoer seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness and said with a smile:
"Brother! You are amazing. You were promoted to major and deputy section chief so quickly."
Xiang Chu said indifferently: "Lieutenant Lin! Please call me Deputy Section Chief Xiang."
"No! You are my brother."
Lin Qiaoer said stubbornly, and reached out to grab his hand.
"Lieutenant Lin! Please pay attention to your image."
Xiang Chu scolded, quickly dodged and walked towards the archive room.
Lin Qiaoer said angrily: "Humph! I wonder how long you can hide."
Xiang Chu was somewhat confused by her performance and couldn't help thinking:
"Is she Qiao'er or not?"
Li Maocai heard the sound and came to the door, smiling:
"Boy! You've become a deputy section chief so quickly, on the same level as me."
Indeed, the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department are large departments of the Intelligence Bureau, with ranks half a level higher than other departments, and the deputy department chief is equivalent to the department chief of other departments.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director. Come! Let's try drawing a fairy card."
Xiang Chu smiled and handed him a woman's cigarette.
"Hmm! Try something new."
Li Maocai took the cigarette, walked into the room, and said with a smile,
"The monitoring has been moved to the Telecommunications Department. Lin Qiaoer is in charge."
"is it?"
Xiang Chu closed the door and went into the two data rooms to take a look.
He sat back in his old office chair and asked in confusion:
"Director! How could the director not let his niece eavesdrop on the program?"
Li Maocai blew out a smoke ring and said thoughtfully, "Boy! I think that Lieutenant Lin is also someone the Director can trust absolutely, and his eavesdropping and tracking skills are even better. Oh, right! Why does she call you brother?"
Xiang Chu deliberately said: "Maybe I am very handsome and very popular with women."
"I think so too! Haha!"
Li Maocai laughed loudly, paused,
"But you'd better be careful when you're being nice to me. It's time to get off work. Please take me to the bus stop in your car."
"this late?"
Xiang Chu hurriedly looked at his watch and it was indeed time to get off work.
He went downstairs with Li Maocai and got into the Buick.
Li Maocai asked with a smile: "Boy! I heard that you killed Feng Shurong in Shanghai?"
Xiang Chu started the engine and nodded, "Yes! Who made him a Japanese spy?"
"Thank you! You avenged my wife's murder."
Li Maocai said in a choked voice, and paused.
"Can you give me those Fairy cigarettes you have?"
"Of course, here you go!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly handed him the half remaining pack of Fairy brand cigarettes.
Li Maocai took the cigarette and said leisurely after a while: "Wang Wanting is influenced by me and likes to smoke occasionally. She must like this cigarette."
"Wang Wanting! Codename 'Spark', digital code 88."
Xiang Chu was shocked, but he did not dare to ask Li Maocai who had once identified him.
Li Maocai got off at the bus stop, and Xiang Chu reversed the car and drove towards Yihe Road.
He never expected that Li Maocai's wife was actually a comrade on the early underground front.
"Is Li Maocai our comrade now?"
With this question in mind, Xiang Chu drove the car to the gate of the courtyard.
He opened the gate and drove in, and suddenly heard some noise in the house.
He quickly pulled out his pistol and slowly opened the living room door.
What shocked him greatly was that Lin Qiaoer was actually cooking in the kitchen.
