My spy diary

Chapter 275: Military Morality Available (asking for monthly ticket)

It was late at night, but the entire Linli special training class was brightly lit.

After calming down the restless students, Deputy Director Yu Lexing returned to the office and drank several cups of hot tea, but he still couldn't get over the shock.

He paced on the ground continuously, and suddenly stopped, looking at the secretary standing beside him in disbelief, frowning and saying:

"Isn't this Zhang Yi and Zhang Yunyi too capable?"

"Although I've heard that he's good at catching spies, he's only been here for one day and he's already caught Jin Minjie. Is Jin Minjie really a Japanese spy?"

"What if Jin Minjie refuses to confess?"

"Once they enter the interrogation room, there is no prisoner who won't confess."

Secretary Wang looked smart and capable. He replied, and seeing that his boss was frowning and seemed to be in a state of confusion, he thought to himself that he should not provoke his leader anymore. After all, sometimes honesty is more terrible and hateful than lies.

He pretended to think, was silent for a while, and analyzed:
"Director, I'm afraid it's not his personal ability."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Secretary Wang pointed to the ceiling: "The person behind him."

"Are you saying that Boss Dai already knew that Jin Minjie was a Japanese spy, and then he specially arranged for Zhang Yi to come and arrest him?"

Secretary Wang agreed: "What else? I have read the resume of the special envoy. He has never been to Linli before and has no contact with Jin Minjie. Even if he has a keen eye, he can't tell that the other party is a Japanese spy at a glance, right?

Moreover, today, the special envoy chose Jin Minjie as his opponent after he took office. Maybe he was doing further screening. Otherwise, all this cannot be explained at all."

"Is that right?"

Yu Lexing looked at him suspiciously: "What is the purpose of Boss Dai doing this? Is it because I recommended this person that he concealed the news from me?"

He talked to himself, thought for a while, and suddenly shook his head:

"No, even if Boss Dai deliberately hid it from me and let Zhang Yi handle it, the Spy Section is now under the Intelligence Department. Yang Rong, the old fox, is well-informed about this matter and must have known about it in advance. Why didn't he give me even a hint?"

"This..." Seeing that the leader did not agree with his words, the secretary's mind turned quickly, and he hesitated and said:
"Could it be that someone in the special training class said something to Special Commissioner Zhang in private?"

"Who?"

Secretary Wang already had the answer in his mind, but he had been wrong once, so he couldn't say it directly. Besides, it is said that no matter how many brilliant ideas there are, they are only golden words when spoken by the leader, but if spoken by a secretary like him, they may become scraps of copper and iron.

"What the director said just now has inspired my thinking. We just need to check who has had private contact with Special Envoy Zhang." Secretary Wang deliberately guided the other party's thinking.

"What are you still looking for? It must be Liao."

Yu Lexing spoke out the truth that Secretary Wang was expecting, and said angrily:

"When Zhang Yi was in my office, he dared to rush over to report his work, eager for quick success. Humph, who knows what he said in private?"

He became more and more angry as he spoke, and his tone became more and more certain:
"That's right. It must have been done by Liao Hua. He must have discovered some flaws in Jin Minjie in secret. In order to please Zhang Yi, he immediately went up to him and revealed all his suspicions and evidence. Otherwise, how could Zhang Yicai have such great ability?"

"Not only that, if Liao Hua had reported this to you earlier, this matter could have been completely covered up within the special training class.
It is a great achievement for the Director to dig this person out. But he knew that Jin Minjie was recommended by you, Director, and he still did these small things in private. I can only say that he has ulterior motives. "

"Humph." Yu Lexing had a gloomy face and sneered, "I think he wants to make this matter bigger on purpose, so that everyone knows about it, and then he can take my place after he overthrows me."

"Who does he think he is?" Secretary Wang sneered, looked at Yu Lexing respectfully, and said flatteringly:
"Although Mr. Dai is suspicious of the director, the special training class, from its planning to its opening, is all your credit. You are a veteran of the Military Control Commission, and you are also our Military Control Commission's Ph.D. in chemistry. You are also good at blasting technology and drug research. The special envoy came here this time to select blasting talents. How can we leave you behind?

Therefore, I guess that even if Mr. Dai is dissatisfied with you, he will not embarrass you at this stage."

"You make sense." Yu Lexing couldn't help but feel proud after hearing the series of compliments from his secretary.

Back then, Dai Chunfeng visited him three times at his cottage before inviting him out of retirement. He relied on his opinions on everything. Even Dai Chunfeng's method of managing his subordinates was based on the "dialectics" he proposed, of "creating contradictions, utilizing contradictions, and controlling contradictions."

But it had only been a short time, and he had already begun to lose Dai Chunfeng's trust, and was even gradually becoming a thorn in his side.
Thinking of this, Yu Lexing said sourly: "I only see the new people laughing, but I hear the old people crying."

Secretary Wang knew that his boss's literary problems had come back again.

Although the boss is a government official, he has a lot of scholarly spirit and is still an intellectual after all.

Intellectuals are different from officials. When they are reserved, they put on airs, but when they are excited, they easily show their airs. This kind of character is suitable for teaching and research, but not for being an official.

Secretary Wang was complaining in his heart, but he said seriously: "The Military Control Commission has just been established, and more and more talents are needed. It will definitely become the norm to hold training courses in the future. Boss Dai can't do without you, Director. For now, we should think about how to deal with the aftermath and push Jin Minjie's matter out."

"You're right." Yu Lexing was also relieved. Boss Dai was far away in Wuhan. Even if he was dissatisfied with him, he would not remove him from his position now. He would punish him when the time came. He would always find a way out when the time came.

The most important thing now is how to turn Jin Minjie's situation from passive to active. If the major espionage case is solved, even if he cannot get any credit for it, it is good enough to offset his merits and demerits.

The secretary suggested, "How about I go and test the Special Envoy's attitude first?"

"Not urgent."

Yu Lexing shook his head and frowned, "To be honest, although Zhang Yi was my former student, I don't know much about him. Let me call Yang Rong, the old fox, to find out more."

The secretary suddenly remembered something: "I heard that your brother-in-law, Instructor Shen, had had contact with the special envoy when he was in Shanghai. Should we ask him to come forward?"

Yu Lexing hesitated for a while and shook his head: "Let's wait and see. But you should prepare some things first, and wait for me to find out clearly."

It was already past midnight, and a group of students were still gathered outside the interrogation room, reluctant to leave.

In just a few hours, Zhang Yi became the star of the special training class.

Although the students all entered the training class with the desire to join the army and fight against the Japanese aggression to serve their country, the rules here are strict. The instructors often beat and punish students with corporal punishment. The courses they teach are horrifying such as arresting and killing people, and the students are often used as substitutes for drills. Most people have already developed a rebellious mentality and are too lazy to learn. How can they achieve what the instructors said, "The magic of application lies in the heart"?
Furthermore, instructors like Liao Hua are dedicated to promoting anti-Red sentiment. Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are in a period of cooperation, shouldn’t they go all out to deal with the Japanese?
This makes the students even more disgusted.

Of course, there were also students who enjoyed it. Seeing the instructors being ruthless to their own people and acting like lawless people, the students felt that this agency had privileges and did not care about any laws at all. Moreover, it was said that once they graduated, they would be awarded the rank of second lieutenant and their salary would be increased to 40 yuan. They were also Director Dai's disciples, so they would definitely be promoted quickly. It was undoubtedly a shortcut to promotion and wealth, so they worked even harder.

But no matter what kind of students they are, no matter if they are said to be vicious or "deliberately murdering" the students, they can't make the "prisoners" surrender and get a confession no matter what their best skills are. This makes the students hate and get angry at the instructors, thinking that theory is just theory.

Today, Zhang Yi, a practical man, defeated Jin Minjie without any effort. He also had a keen eye and saw through the other party's hidden identity as a Japanese spy in one fell swoop, which completely refreshed everyone's understanding of their superior.

I originally thought that the special envoy was so young and held a high position, so he must be a confidant of Boss Dai. Such a person either had a special background or was a flatterer and sycophant. Such a person was just a bureaucrat and definitely had no business ability.

Unexpectedly, he solved a huge case with just one move.

In particular, his smooth, calm and relaxed manner in capturing Jin Minjie with one hand made all the students admire him.

According to the explanation given by Special Commissioner Zhang and his attendant Chief Hou Hou, the Special Commissioner noticed instructor Jin Minjie when he was investigating the death of student Yan Wei.

Although Jin Minjie's resume and self-report materials were flawless, Officer Zhang still found clues through some details, and then used the inevitability of the details and logical relationships to conduct reasoning and analysis, and began to suspect Jin Minjie.

Then, after knocking down and subduing the opponent, he took advantage of the opponent's "inability to do anything" and let down his guard, and spoke tentatively to fully confirm his suspicion of Jin Minjie.

Now we just have to wait until the interrogation is over and Jin Minjie confesses everything honestly.

This brutal beast Jin Minjie was indeed a Japanese devil, otherwise how could he have the heart to kill his own compatriots.

The special commissioner is indeed a master in the practical work of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He is adept at catching spies. Such people are role models for our generation and the ones we should learn from.

After this incident, most of the students turned to Special Envoy Zhang.

Everyone felt that following such a leader or superior, it would be a piece of cake to be rewarded for meritorious service in the future.

Everyone began to inquire about Special Envoy Zhang's past and whether the Operations Department needed more staff. Some gossipers even started to inquire whether the Special Envoy had a girlfriend.

As for whether there is anyone who is willing to do so, I don’t know.

The whips, branding irons and screams in the makeshift interrogation room lasted for an hour.

Just when everyone thought there should be a result, Zhang Yi walked out with a calm face.

Facing the "eagerly expectant" eyes of the crowd, Zhang Yi said calmly: "I will live up to everyone's expectations."

"Kim Min-jae or Park Myung-jae has confessed everything. His Japanese name is Kodani Saburo. He entered the Nakano Special Agent School at the age of 18. In 36, he transferred to the Shanghai Special High Section. In 37, he was ordered to infiltrate the Special Agent Training Class. His code name is Black Blade."

"Good!" Thunderous applause broke out from the crowd.

"Kill the Japanese spy and avenge Yan Wei."

"Kill the Japanese."

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Resist Japan and save the nation, defend the motherland!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood. Eliminate the Japanese invaders."

"Return our land to us and drive out the Japanese pirates!"

Along with the applause, the crowd burst into shouts and roars, which were chaotic at the beginning and finally gathered into a torrent, shaking the sky.

Looking at the burning eyes and passionate young people, Zhang Yi's heart also surged with blood.

"eye for eye!"

Military spirit is available!

But seeing that the students' voices were getting louder and louder, Zhang Yi had to raise his hand to stop them.

"Students, the atrocities of the Japanese invaders and the blood of our compatriots have awakened your fighting spirit. The battlefield needs warriors like you who are strong and brave, but who are we?"

Zhang Yi's voice was full of majesty:

"We are agents, and our work is on the covert front, a front without the smoke of gunpowder.

It is just as dangerous here. It is full of dirt, killing, conspiracy, traps and mud pits, but we are fearless. We have no choice.

For the sake of our country and our nation, we may lose each other, our family and love, and all the good things in life, but we have no choice. Once you step on this front, you can only advance and not retreat, because if you advance, you will die heroically, but if you retreat, you will live in disgrace. "

"I know many students don't understand what I said, and I don't force you to understand it right now. I'd like to give you a few words here to encourage you."

"Hear thunder in the silence, see prosperity in the colorless, and see light in the darkness."

After saying this, Zhang Yi looked at everyone solemnly, stood up and saluted.

The students reacted and saluted Zhang Yi as well.

After the ceremony, Zhang Yi smiled with relief and said:
"Let's get back to the point. As the saying goes, what you learn from books is always shallow. You have to practice it to know it for sure! No matter how much you talk, it's better to do it once.

To be honest, Jin Minjie not only admitted that he was a Japanese spy, but also confessed his accomplices and whereabouts. We need to arrest him immediately. Is there anyone who dares to participate in the operation? "

When the students heard that there was an action to participate in, they were all surprised.

Of course, after the surprise, one can't help but feel hesitant and timid.
Although everyone had received training in spy common sense before they were assigned to different departments, most of them had never even killed a chicken, let alone caught a spy. Besides, swords and guns have no eyes.
Where there are timid people, there are naturally brave and daring ones.

A burly young man with a flat head stepped forward.

He stood at attention, touched his legs together, gave a standard military salute, and said with a stern face:

"Xu Sanlin, a student of the Fourth Squadron's military intelligence major, is willing to follow the special commissioner to kill the enemy."

"Qi Erqiang, a student from the fourth squadron who specializes in military intelligence, will be going with us."

"I, Yu Longqiang, from the third squadron's operations department, will go with you!"

"Xue Yifei."

Xu Sanlin took the lead, and several others, unwilling to lag behind, followed suit.

Zhang Yi looked at the few people and thought to himself, one "Xu Sanduo", one "Xiao Qiang", one "Qiang Long", and "Yi Fei", that's enough!

Although each of them has a unique name, Zhang Yi still needs to examine their talents.

Zhang Yi asked: "After the prisoner gives out his superiors and hiding place, what should we do next?"

Xu Sanlin answered quickly: "We cannot stop the interrogation. We need to immediately ask in detail about the structure and furnishings inside the house. After we have the information, plainclothes officers will disguise themselves as telegraph and water meter inspectors to infiltrate the house for an on-site inspection to confirm whether the information is consistent. If the information is true, we will block the roads in front and behind when we arrest them."

Yu Longqiang added: "If the raid fails, plainclothes officers should be left behind to monitor secretly."

Yu Longqiang and Xue Yifei then expressed their own views. Although they were just reading from a script, they finally understood something. Zhang Yi did not make things difficult for them and stopped there.

Nodding, Zhang Yi said seriously: "The four of you come with me."

Then he found Secretary Wang, Yu Lexing's secretary, who was peeking out from the crowd and waved to him to come over.

"Secretary Wang, inform Deputy Director Yu for me. From now on, the special training class will continue to maintain radio silence. Phone calls will still be controlled. Immediately gather the instructors and cadres to organize students to rest, and at the same time strengthen the school's security work."

"Yes, Special Envoy, I will do it immediately." Secretary Wang smiled flatteringly and hurried to make a phone call.

Zhang Yi nodded, glanced at the rookies, waved his hand, and Monkey immediately followed with several murderous plainclothes officers.

"set off!"
