Courtyard House: Reborn in the 1940s, Starting with Killing Japanese Devils

"Good! Good! Good!"

The chairman said "good" three times in a row, full of praise, "Well done, Yu Nong. You have made a great contribution and should be rewarded handsomely."

Zhao Heng's trip demonstrated not only his exceptional wisdom but also his remarkable courage and loyalty, which was truly a blessing for our army.

The order was issued to promote Zhao Heng to colonel, an exceptional promotion, and to reward him with $3000 and 10 small yellow croakers as a token of appreciation.

This decision was unexpected, and the Chairman's mood improved considerably as a result.

Dai Li hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Chairman, Ye Ziming, the head of the First Division, has been sent to Beiping to oversee the reconstruction of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Beiping Station."

With his departure, the position in the division is temporarily vacant. After Zhao Heng is promoted to colonel, should he be asked to fill the vacancy of the division chief?

He cautiously probed, and the Chairman pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement: "Very well, then let Zhao Heng temporarily serve as the acting director of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"As long as he returns to the mountain city and makes new contributions, the 'acting' designation will be removed, and he will be officially appointed as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

After saying that, the Chairman, in high spirits, picked up his favorite Zhejiang tea and took a small sip.

Dai Li nodded quickly: "Your subordinate understands."

As soon as Dai Li returned to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters, Zheng Yaoxian came to his door, holding a newspaper in his hand:

"Boss Dai, the Japanese newspapers have published news that the Mei Agency was destroyed by Kuomintang agents, and its chief, General Kagesa, was killed in action."

Dai Li looked at Zheng Yaoxian with a serious expression: "Sixth Brother, I won't hide this from you, it was Zhao Heng who did it."

Zheng Yaoxian was startled, staring intently at Dai Li, then suddenly realized what was happening, and a smile appeared on his face:

"So, Boss Dai sent Zhao Heng to Shanghai in secret to assassinate the head of the Mei Agency. You've truly mastered the art of planning and winning battles from afar."

Dai Li nodded and gave Zheng Yaoxian a heads-up: "Sixth Brother, once Zhao Heng returns, he can no longer be your adjutant."

The old man already knew about this, and he praised it three times. He even issued an order to promote Zhao Heng exceptionally, appointing him as the acting director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

At this point, Dai Li's face was full of joy, and he felt proud of himself.

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Zheng Yaoxian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He said, "Zhao Heng's abilities are outstanding, and his promotion to section chief is well-deserved. I have no objections."

He thought to himself that as long as Zhao Heng could return safely, he, the "kite," would be willing to continue to stand firm in the darkness for the "lone shadow." This would undoubtedly be great news for the organization.

Zhao Heng's outstanding military achievements have been remembered by the Chairman, and his future position in the Military Intelligence Bureau is sure to rise steadily and be bright.

Zheng Yaoxian was well aware that Dai Li was telling him these things because he didn't want him to have too close a relationship with Zhao Heng, so as not to disrupt the power balance within the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He knew Dai Li too well. Like Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Li believed in the doctrine of the mean and was well-versed in the means of checks and balances.

Seeing that Zheng Yaoxian's expression remained normal, Dai Li continued, "Sixth Brother, I have always seen that you are insightful and considerate of the overall situation."

"Zhao Heng did a great job on this mission, and the principal values ​​him highly."

When he returns, ensure a smooth handover of your work, making sure he is familiar with the operations of each department as quickly as possible.

Zheng Yaoxian nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Boss Dai, I will do my best to cooperate with Zhao Heng."

However, since he has just taken over as acting director, it's inevitable that some people will be resentful. I'd appreciate it if Boss Dai could take good care of him.

Dai Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a barely perceptible smile flashing across his face: "You don't need to worry about that. Since the principal is determined to promote him, he will naturally support him."

Moreover, Zhao Heng successfully assassinated a Japanese major general from the Mei Agency; this achievement alone is enough to leave everyone speechless.

Zheng Yaoxian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Boss Dai, now that Zhao Heng is back, should I look for a new adjutant?"

Dai Li patted him on the shoulder: "Sixth Brother, you've followed me for so many years, I will never treat you unfairly."

Zheng Yaoxian replied solemnly and respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Boss Dai. I will do my utmost and serve the Party and the country with all my heart and soul."

Dai Li nodded in satisfaction: "Good, I'm relieved to hear that. You can go back now and wait for Zhao Heng's news."

Zheng Yaoxian bowed and turned to leave, while Dai Li watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

As long as Zhao Heng can return to Shancheng safely, all arrangements can proceed step by step.

Meanwhile, Araki was still lying in a hospital bed at Kuan Jen Hospital recovering from his injuries.

Previously, Zheng Yaoxian, along with Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi, laid a trap and eliminated eight Japanese spies who came to rescue Araki.

This achievement was enough to greatly enhance his prestige within the Military Intelligence Bureau and firmly solidify his position.

Zhou Haichao, on his orders, had already been arrested and was currently being held in the second interrogation room, charged with treason and betraying his colleagues.

The incident began when Liu Qiang, a member of the Hurricane team, sent a letter of complaint to Zheng Yaoxian.

The letter stated that he witnessed Zhou Haichao shooting Xiao Zhengguo from behind at the church, and in the chaos, he even dropped a pocket watch.

Those pocket watches were a gift from Boss Dai to Zhou Haichao; each one was engraved with a unique number, corresponding to a different person.

With just a little investigation, Zheng Yaoxian could easily find out that the owner of the pocket watch was Zhou Haichao.

Not long after, the news that Zhao Heng had been promoted by the Chairman was spread throughout the Military Intelligence Bureau by Zheng Yaoxian, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Yufei, the head of the communications section of the Second Bureau of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was overjoyed upon hearing this, but her face remained calm. She simply said, "I understand. You may leave now."

As soon as the adjutant left the office, Gu Yufei immediately closed the door, thinking to herself: I never expected that Guying would actually kill a Japanese major general. Such skill is truly admirable.

When Gu Ying returns to the mountain city, he will inevitably cause quite a stir.

A moment later, Zhang Li walked into the office, holding two theater tickets in her hand, and asked with a bright smile, "Yufei, I got two theater tickets from a friend. How about we go see a show together after get off work?"

"Okay, Sister Li." Gu Yufei took the theater tickets, a meaningful smile spreading across her face.

During this period, she became exceptionally close to Zhang Li and also became best friends with Yu Xiaowan. The three of them often went to see plays, go shopping, and watch movies together, and got along very well.

Meanwhile, the Military Intelligence Bureau has begun preparations to hold an award ceremony for this youngest section chief.

tick-

Beep beep!

A series of radio waves, three long and two short, traveled from a small village in northern Jiangsu to the distant sacred land of northern Shaanxi.

In the communications room of the San Diego Union-Tribune, after receiving this top-secret telegram, the telegraph operator immediately copied down its contents and rushed it to the head of the Special Branch and the Minister of the Labour Department.

"Commander, this is a top-secret telegram from Comrade Guying."

Minister of Works took the telegram, and his left hand instinctively picked up the kerosene lamp to illuminate the message. His eyes suddenly became as sharp as a hawk's, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The telegram read: "[Commander, I have successfully assassinated Colonel Takahashi Senbei of the Shanghai Military Police Command and Major General Kagesa Yoshiyuki, Chief of the Shanghai Ume Agency, thus completing the mission assigned by Dai Li. Lone Shadow]"
