Chapter 479 Attending the Prince's Dinner
When Xiang Chu returned, he immediately summoned the heads of the six departments and three squadron leaders to a meeting in the conference room.
The six major departments are the Political Department, Intelligence Department, Cultural Department, Economic Department, Planning Department, and Liaison Department.
The director of the Political Department is Zheng Zhili, who is also the executive director; the director of the Intelligence Department is Yu Xiaowan; the director of the Cultural Department is Xu Lai; the director of the Economic Department is Yi Anliang; the director of the Planning Department is Hong Yi; and the director of the Liaison Department is Long Ling.
Except for Zheng Zhili and Xu Lai, all of them were underground party members and members of the branch committee.
The three squadrons are the Yamashita Squadron, the Namma Squadron, and the Tailiu Squadron, with Yamashita Yoshiharu, Li Tong, and Ma Jiuying as squadron leaders respectively.
Of course, there are also small departments such as logistics and security, which are respectively managed by Liu Zhengxiong, Gan Rong and others.
Xiang Chu waited for everyone to sit down, and then said solemnly, "Everyone! The Shadow Agency is now directly under the leadership of the First Department of the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau, and the head is the Special Envoy Ming Qianxing."
"Good! Great!"
Everyone applauded.
Except for Yu Xiaowan, Zheng Zhili, Xu Lai and others, no one else knew about this news.
After the applause died down, Xiang Chu emphasized something, listened to reports from various places, and then turned to the three squadrons.
He asked with a smile: "Jichun! Are all the people from the squadron down the mountain back?"
Yamashita Yoshiharu nodded and said, "First Generation! This time when I returned to Tokyo, I brought back hundreds of people. Now the Yamashita Squadron has nearly 300 people."
"very good!"
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, and ordered, "Ji Chun! The Shanxia Squadron must use the old to guide the new, and immediately complete the transformation from civilians to soldiers. Hurry up and implement it!"
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiharu hurriedly accepted the order and stood up to leave the meeting room.
Xiang Chu turned to Ma Jiuying and asked, "Jiuying! What's the situation of the Tailiu Squadron?"
Ma Jiuying smiled bitterly and said, "Chief! All the personnel in our squadron have returned, but we haven't recruited any new people. There are still as many people as before."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It's good that you don't have to run away. All the Penghu people in your squadron will be merged into the Nanyang Squadron. Gather 300 people for the Nanyang Squadron and go and make it happen."
"Yes!"
Ma Jiuying hurriedly took the order and left the meeting room.
Li Tong reported in Japanese: "Your Excellency, Director! We went to the deep mountains and old forests to recruit Chinese martial arts masters and patriotic patriots. The Lamma Squadron has expanded to nearly 300 people."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "We are all family here, there is no need to be so nervous, just tell us about your difficulties."
Li Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Now everyone is worried that without our official identity, no matter how great the contribution they make in hiding, they will not be able to clear their names in the future. They are worried that their families will suffer as a result of today's disaster."
Xiang Chu took out a thick document and said with a smile, "This time when I returned to Chongqing, the higher-ups approved the establishment of the Chu Mansion, an intelligence agency independent of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. It contains everyone's appointments. When we go back, we can get a set of military uniforms, shoulder straps, and military ranks. We will all be real double agents in the future."
"real?!"
Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
Yu Xiaowan took the document and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Hey! I am the director of the intelligence department of the Chu Mansion, with the rank of colonel, and Liu Zhengxiong is the major general and the chief of logistics?"
"Xiao Wan! Let me see it quickly."
Liu Zhengxiong hurried forward and snatched the document, completely forgetting that he was pretending to be mute.
Everyone rushed to check it out, with smiles on their faces.
Xiang Chu scolded: "Fujiwara Masao! How can you speak?"
Liu Zhengxiong said with a smile, "Chief! I can speak simple Japanese now. I will announce to the public that I was cured by a Chinese miracle doctor you found."
"also!"
Xiang Chu said happily.
Li Tong said happily: "Chief! Can I tell the brothers about their positions in the Chu Mansion?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! But we have to talk one-on-one, otherwise it's easy to get jealous. Secret organizations can't be treated lightly, otherwise we'll all be finished."
"understand!"
Li Tong nodded heavily.
Next, Xiang Chu had a one-on-one conversation, starting with Yi Anliang.
Yi Anliang said excitedly: "Leader! I transported supplies back to Yan'an. The comrades were in very good spirits, but there was a real shortage of weapons, ammunition and other supplies."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I know! Now that we have the official seal and transportation order of the Military and Political Department's Quartermaster Bureau, let's continue to transport it and spend the money on the organization."
Yi Anliang said with a smile, "By the way! I also met your master, and he asked me to bring you a letter."
After saying this, he tore open his underwear, took out a letter from the interlayer and handed it to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu took the letter and unfolded it, then said happily, "Master Yi! My master affirmed my achievements and gave me a position one level lower than his. He encouraged me to stay hidden at all costs and surpass him if I have the ability."
Yi Anliang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Leader! You are already a double lieutenant general, aren't you higher than your master?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yi! The higher the position on both sides of the White Party and the Japs, the worse it is."
Yi Anliang smiled and said, "That's right!"
Xiang Chu saw a secret mark made by his master on the back of the letter, and hurriedly took out iodine and applied it evenly.
A line of words appeared on the reverse side: "Military Intelligence Bureau Lin Qiao'er is a Trojan horse of the Fuso 'Fifth Column'! Be careful!"
"Sure enough it is!"
Xiang Chu was shocked and put the secret letter away.
Yi Anliang went out and Xu Lai walked into the house.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Alai! This time when I returned to Chongqing, I got rid of Chen Fu, Xu En, and Liu Xiangan."
Xu Lai said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Chu, for avenging Alai. These three people are worse than the other."
Xiang Chu changed the subject: "Alai! You said that the people monitoring No. 76 Duolun Road were agents from the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation?"
Xu Lai nodded and said, "Yes! But Alai always feels that their focus is on No. 77 Duolun Road."
Xiang Chu suddenly realized, "That was aimed at Nan Zao Yunzi. Nan Zao Yunzi arrested all the agents of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation in Peking and Tianjin."
Xu Lai shook his head and said, "Not entirely. Nan Zao Yunzi hasn't returned to Shanghai. Their target is still you, me and Director Yu."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Has Nan Zao Yunzi returned to Shanghai after finishing her business in North China?"
"what?!"
Xu Lai was stunned.
At this moment, the phone in the office rang.
“Who could this be?!”
Xiang Chu was puzzled and hurried forward to answer the phone, from which came the charming voice of Nan Zao Yunzi.
"Damn Daxiong! Why don't you go home now that you're back in Shanghai?"
Xiang Chu was shocked and said in astonishment: "Yunzi! When did you return to Shanghai?"
Nanzō Yunzi smiled mysteriously and said, "Damn Nobita! To tell you the truth, Yunzi has been back for three days, specifically to ensure the safety of the prince and others, and just caught all the Chinese agents who were monitoring our family."
Xiang Chu pretended to praise: "You are amazing!"
Nanzō Yunzi said happily, "Nobita! Thanks to your encouragement, my father killed a lot of enemies at Zhanggufeng and was praised by the leader."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Great!"
Nanzao Yunzi said angrily, "Go home quickly and take me to Chuyue Hotel to attend the prince's dinner."
Xiang Chu said angrily, "Dong Jiu Mi Gong treated me to a meal, but I paid for it. This is simply outrageous."
Nanzō Yunzi laughed sweetly and said, "Nobita! The prince said he would skin you alive with his own hands. Haha!"
Xiang Chu roared loudly: "I will go home now and take you to see who is the one who peeled off the skin. He still owes me 7 lives."
