Chapter 203: One Shot Taken Away

next day
Lin Hao brought Dai Chunfeng's warrant and came to the Jinling Special Service Department's cadre training class again.

This was Lin Hao's third time here. This time he was received by Director Wang, who was also a close confidant of Dai Chunfeng.

So after handing the warrant to Director Wang, Lin Hao said:

"Director Wang, let's look at the information first!"

"Captain Lin, everything is ready. This is the student information!" Director Wang handed the student information that had been prepared long ago to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked through the student information one by one and felt that the overall quality was good.

Suddenly, Lin Hao found a familiar name in the middle of the information. Looking at the photo again, it was indeed you, Zhang Li.

Lin Hao suddenly realized that he had recruited both the male and female protagonists in "The Jingzhe", so would the plot of The Jingzhe still happen?

“It’s really interesting!”

Looking at Zhang Li, who looked very similar to Wang Manchun, Lin Hao put her file separately into another stack of files without hesitation.

The people in this stack of files are carefully selected by Lin Hao, either those with foreign language skills or those with outstanding abilities.

What followed was the same process as before, where all students were asked to demonstrate their abilities, and Lin Hao assessed them individually according to his own needs.

When Lin Hao left, 13 people had been selected. Lin Hao remembered that he selected 4 people the first time and 8 people the second time.

In other words, the field department where Lin Hao is located already has 25 core members.

Then, like Zuo Qiuming and others, Lin Hao conducted a special assessment on these 13 people.

Finally, the two people with the strongest comprehensive abilities, such as ability, resilience, and obedience, were selected as team leaders.

Then they were asked to select 4 team members each to carry out the next stage of undercover work, and the remaining 4 people joined other teams.

Zhang Li was taken away directly by Lin Hao for individual training.

After bidding farewell to Lan Xinjie and her son, Lin Hao returned to Shanghu. However, he did not go back to the Secret Service Department. Instead, he began to arrange Feng Zixiong's affairs!
Three days later, Lin Hao came to the HK area and discussed the sale of sulfa drugs with Takahashi Senbei in the identity of Hashimoto Taro.

Of course, Lin Hao’s purpose was not simply to sell sulfa drugs, but he came for Takeshi Aoki’s matter. He wanted to see the attitude of the island country’s military so that he could respond in time.

After discussing the sulfa deal, Lin Hao said:
"I heard that Takahashi-san will soon be able to take a step closer to becoming the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force Military Police Headquarters!"

"Hey~!" Takahashi said with an irrepressible smile: "Things haven't been finalized yet, so I can't say that for now, to avoid misunderstandings, haha!"

As he said this, he started to laugh first, and Lin Hao thought to himself that it was indeed the case, and then he said:

"I would like to congratulate Mr. Takahashi first for your promotion!"

"Hahahaha! No way!" Takahashi then said meaningfully: "This is all thanks to the help of Hashimoto-kun!"

"I know that Hashimoto-kun suffered a loss in this transaction. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat Hashimoto-kun unfairly after I officially take up my post."

Originally, Lin Hao was planning to find out Takahashi's warehouse and make him work in vain. It seems that the plan needs to be postponed a little, and it would be best to take action after Takahashi takes up his post.

"Don't worry, Takahashi-san. I will always support you!" Looking at Takahashi's satisfied smile, Lin Hao asked casually:

"Takahashi-san, why haven't I seen Section Chief Aoki these past two days?"

Gao Qiao's hand holding the bed suddenly stopped, and he sighed and said:
"Aoki went out on a mission and has done his duty for the Empire!"

Then Gao Qiao looked at Lin Hao and asked with some doubt:
"By the way, why do you ask?"

"I also heard some rumors and I'm worried that our business will be affected!" Lin Hao quickly explained.

At the same time, he complained in his heart that Takahashi was too sensitive.

Takahashi Senbei laughed twice:
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Hashimoto-kun, you have been cooperating with our Military Police Headquarters from the beginning to the end. No matter who is in charge of the Special High Technology Section, it will not affect our cooperation!"

"As for the Special High Technology Department, there is even less need to worry. After the Empire occupies Shanghai, the Special High Technology Department will be under the management of our Military Police Headquarters."

Lin Hao also said in agreement: "That's great, then we don't have to worry about cooperation in the future!"

Then Lin Hao asked again: "But, have you just brushed off Section Chief Aoki's matter and let it go?"

Takahashi shook his head and said, "How is that possible! The Army Department has sent a master to investigate Aoki's case and replace Takeshi Aoki as the head of the Special High Technology Department."

"I forgot to tell you that the new section chief of the Special High Technology Department, Feng Xiandao, is also one of our own, so you don't have to worry!"

My god, they move so fast.

Then Lin Hao stayed here for a while and then said goodbye and left Nakajima Trading Company.

After getting in the car, Chen Shan said while driving Lin Hao:
"Captain, the people from the Military Commission have arrived at Feng Zixiong's house!"

"Well, go back and ask Zuo Qiuming to notify Lan Yanzhi and Feng Manna to come to the training ground. I will train them personally today!" Lin Hao said.

"Yes!"

"Also, the sulfanilamide sold to Takahashi will be traded tomorrow night. You need to find their warehouse as soon as possible and check the whereabouts of the sulfanilamide if possible!"

"understand!"

At the same time, Feng Zixiong looked at the person in front of him with a confused look on his face. The Military Commissioner actually sent him a commendation order.

"Director Feng, congratulations! You have made a significant contribution in this bombardment of the Japanese warships. I heard that the chairman will personally award you a medal!"

"You must take good care of me in the future!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

After the committee members left, Feng Zixiong felt something was wrong. He had done nothing, so how could he have made any contribution and be awarded a medal for it?

Feng Manna next to her didn't know much. Knowing that her father had made meritorious service and received a medal, she said excitedly:

"Dad, I didn't expect you to have made such a great contribution without making any noise!"

"You are so awesome!"

"Tell me how you accomplished this feat!"

Feng Zixiong was panicking at this moment, but on the surface he remained calm as an old dog, so he scolded his precious daughter:

"It's a military and national affair, so don't get involved as a kid!"

Feng Manna remained unmoved and continued excitedly:
"Dad, I'll go with you when you receive the medal!" Feng Zixiong calmed down his panic and said softly:
"I know how to study, and I also have to deal with work!"

At this time, the phone rang and Feng Manna ran over to answer it eagerly.

"Yanzhi, is there something wrong?" Feng Manna said happily.

I only heard my best friend Lan Yanzhi's voice from the other end of the line:

"Manna, hurry to the 'old place'. 'He' is waiting for us there!"

Feng Manna immediately understood what was said and knew that it was Lin Hao who came. She glanced at her father who was going upstairs and said quickly:
"Okay, I'll be right over!"

"It's Yanzhi who wants to play with you! Just go if you want to go!" Before Feng Manna could speak, Feng Zixiong's voice came from upstairs.

Feng Manna pouted, dissatisfied with her father's attitude, and left mumbling.

But he soon became happy again, because by going to the training ground to find Lan Yanzhi, not only could he share her joy with her, but he could also meet Lin Hao.

After Feng Zixiong and his wife returned to the study, they began to discuss the strangeness of this award!

But the two of them still couldn't figure it out, so Feng Zixiong took out the stamp album and prepared to contact Jinling's shadow to ask him to find out what was going on.

If it's safe, that's fine.

If the trip was dangerous, he would take the intelligence network in the stamp album and go directly to the Japanese.

Feng Zixiong believed that if the National Government went to war with the Japanese, the Japanese would certainly destroy China within three months.

Therefore, he has to represent all Chinese people and join the islanders to avoid the destruction of the country and the extinction of the race. He must do something for this nation!
However, when Feng Zixiong opened the safe, the couple immediately stood there in a daze.

Only the stamp album and 150 kilograms of gold were gone.

Mrs. Feng said with a pale face: "What's going on? Was it stolen, or~!"

"Damn it, we must have been discovered!" Feng Zixiong gritted his teeth and said:
"We had no involvement in the bombardment of the Japanese warships. How can we be commended?"

"But since you've been discovered, why did they ask you to return to Nanjing to be awarded the honor?" Madam Feng said in disbelief, "Is it because of ~!"

"You've walked into a trap!" Feng Zixiong sighed and said helplessly.

"Then what should we do now? Should we go and join the Japanese immediately?" Mrs. Feng still had illusions.

"Alas! It's too late!" Suddenly, Feng Zixiong seemed to react and said in a daze: "Do you think the Japanese will still believe us?"

Feng Zixiong shook his head, sighed heavily and said:
"Since that day, we can no longer contact Aoki, the only person we can trust!"

“And now, we are the meritorious personnel who have made contributions in the bombardment of the Japanese warships and are about to be awarded medals. They will not let us go.

Feng Zixiong then sighed and said, "Someone is preparing to roast us on the fire!"

Mrs. Feng said anxiously, "What should we do then? Is there no solution at all?"

Feng Zixiong stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside and said:
"Unless Aoki shows up immediately and we take out the spy network in the stamp album, we will be of no use to them. The Japanese won't believe us!"

"But the problem is that this spy network has been taken away by someone, and an exposed spy network is meaningless. We will become worthless just like the spy network!"

Mrs. Feng said unwillingly:
"How about we take Manna and run away! If we hide abroad, they won't be able to do anything to us!"

At this point, Feng Zixiong knew that he was doomed, but he still explained to his wife:
"I heard that the island nation has sent someone to replace Aoki Takeshige. Aoki Takeshige and I are good friends regardless of age difference, but I don't have any friendship with this new section chief! I'm afraid~!"

"There's no escape!"

At this time, the couple was very anxious and didn't know what to do for a moment because they were in a dilemma.

At this time, there was a rumbling sound of naval guns on the river, and Feng Zixiong, who was standing in front of the window, saw a line flying towards him, and vaguely heard a whistling sound, getting closer and closer to him!

At this time, the Battle of Shanghai was in full swing, and the intelligence work of both sides was also quite brutal. This time the Special High Technology Department was wiped out, causing the island nation's military intelligence to lag behind, so it urgently needed to be rebuilt.

And Sendoh Feng, who had just been transferred from Northeast Gaolan, successfully took over the position of Chief of the Special High Technology Department.

The first thing they did was to investigate Takeshige Aoki, wondering why he suddenly brought all the people from the Special High Technology Department out in full force and ended up being wiped out.

An hour ago, Xian Dao Feng was reading the information while listening to his subordinates' report:
"Section Chief, after our extensive investigation, we found that Aoki was trying to rescue three agents who held important intelligence."

"Later, when I learned that the three people had been sent out of the secret service and were being held at the home of the action team leader, I led my men to storm the place where the 10,000 people were being held the next morning!"

Xian Daofeng was puzzled and said, "Strange, it stands to reason that it would be safest to leave him in the secret service, so why would they let him out anyway?"

Xian Dao Feng couldn't figure it out, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind and he said:
"Is this a trap for Aoki?"

Then he asked, "Where did Aoki Takeshige get the information?"

The subordinate said, "It was Aoki's close friend, Feng Zixiong, the director of the Guo Army's Quartermaster Department, who spread the news the night before the operation!"

"Also, we just received news that Feng Zixiong will return to Jinling tomorrow to receive commendation for attacking the ship!"

"Baga!" It was obvious that it was a trap set for Aoki, and the one who gave Aoki the information in the end was Feng Zixiong, so this must have something to do with Feng Zixiong.

As he said this, Xian Dao Feng wanted to "invite" Feng Zixiong and his family to be guests at the Special High Technology Department.

But later he thought about it and realized that he had already taken over as the chief of the Special High Technology Department. The important thing now was to obtain intelligence on the Kuomintang, not to avenge anyone.

Yes, that’s right, he, Sendo Feng, is such a patriotic person!
It seems that there is no need for me to keep pursuing Aoki's case.

Since Feng Zixiong has been targeted, let's end the matter as soon as possible. At this critical moment of the war, there is no need to waste resources for Aoki.

So he said to his subordinates: "Send someone to investigate Feng Zixiong's location immediately, and then send a message to the fleet. The culprit of the attack on the Yangtze River Fleet has been found."

"Then send them Feng Zixiong's location and tell them that if they want revenge, they can do it themselves. This is all we at the Special High Technology Department can do for them!"

"Hi!"

An hour later, the sound of artillery fire was heard on the river.

At the same time, Feng Manna and Lan Yanzhi were in the training ground, training hard under the guidance of Lin Hao~!

Lin Hao's main focus is on the two girls' mobility, which is their weakest aspect. Other skills will be taught by Zuo Qiuming.

Lin Hao held Feng Manna's hand holding the gun and taught her how to aim in a straight line. Feng Manna, in Lin Hao's arms, gently pulled the trigger at the target!
After a gunshot!

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~!" Several violent explosions were heard. Feng Manna, who had her eyes closed, was stunned by the power of the gun.
