Before they entered Changsha City, they could see large groups of refugees from more than ten miles away. These people had unkempt hair and dirty faces, and their clothes were disheveled. They were walking towards Changsha City in groups.
Other than the fleeing civilians, there were also soldiers in various military uniforms and wounded soldiers. Some of them were being carried, while others were helping each other. The ox carts and donkey carts of the civilians were seized by the wounded soldiers as soon as they saw them. All kinds of bags were thrown off the carts and scattered on the roadside.
There were cries everywhere. Children's, women's, men's curses, and the neighs of animals mixed together.
Outside Changsha City, there were many three-cornered shacks, large black iron pots, and porridge that could be seen clearly. Looking around, the outside of the city was filled with refugees. Some of them had set up tents, while the others were sitting in the mud, looking ahead with lifeless eyes.
This was Changsha City!
A few days ago, he received a report that Wuchang had fallen and more than 200,000 refugees had fled to Changsha. There was no longer any danger in front of Changsha.
Looking at the homeless commoners, Yang Duanliu's eyes revealed a desolate expression.
……
The office building of the Hunan Province Government was bustling with activity. Unlike the scene outside the city, there were no longer refugees in ragged clothes here. Instead, there were businessmen, politicians, and soldiers in grayish-blue uniforms.
Wang Yi was curious as to why the military headquarters in Hunan was not located in the 9th Battle Area's headquarters but in the government office building. Logically speaking, a commander was a military position, and its nature was to supervise the army.
In fact, the current commander of the 9th Battle Area, the leader of Hunan Province, was not Xue Yue, but Zhang Zhizhong. Zhang Zhizhong was a direct descendant of Old Jiang's direct line of descent. This person was not on good terms with Dai Li. As the person who could judge the hour and size up the situation, how could Dai Li offend this favorite of Old Jiang's? Hence, he moved the Hunan Military Station to the provincial government.
Wang Yi passed through the crowd and finally found the Hunan Office of the Bureau of Investigation and statistics of the National Government's Military Committee in a remote corner on the second floor.
The station chief, Tang Chengliu, was busy sorting out documents. He was the only one in the huge office.
"Hello, I'm Wang Yi. This is my report.”
When Tang Chengliu heard the voice, he raised his head and pushed his eyes up the bridge of his nose.
Those who were able to be the leaders of the station were all old people from the time of the Alliance. There was no mistake in judging a person's ability.
Tang Chengliu stared at Wang Yi's report and pointed at the chair opposite him, indicating for Wang Yi to sit down.
" Your commendation order will arrive later. It's a critical period now, so everything should be simple. This is your new identification…" Tang Chengliu said as he opened the drawer, took out an identification, and threw it in front of Wang Yi. From then on, his eyes never left Wang Yi's report.
"Have you seen Wang Shouye?" Tang Chengliu asked suddenly.”His voice was extremely cold.
A pair of eyes shot toward Wang Yi through the top of his glasses.
Wang Yi was expressionless. He gently pushed a piece of paper towards Tang Chengliu and said,""There was a small mistake on the way. Brother Wang died in order to protect this humble official. The report records that he died a heroic death.”
Tang Chengliu looked at the paper that Wang Yi handed over. It was a 5000 silver dollar draft from the Bank of East Asia. Tang Chengliu's eyes flashed as he pushed the draft into the drawer and said calmly,"Tian Mingren came back on your boat, right? He has some complaints about you…"
Wang Yi quickly stood up from his chair and gave a standard military salute. He said,"Your humble servant is loyal to the party and country, and the sun and moon can prove it!”
" Hehe…" Tang Chengliu smiled and raised his hand, signaling Wang Yi to sit down."You saved Tian Mingren's life, but he doesn't know how to be grateful. Don't worry, this matter…I will handle it.”
Wang Yi cursed in his heart. This old fox was trying to get him to buy his money. He was telling himself that he did not take the 5000 silver dollars for nothing. F * ck you. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to return to Shanghai to collect the money order, would he have given it to him?
"Thank you, station chief!" Wang Yi did not sit down. Instead, he stood at attention and lowered his head.
"This Guo Qiyun really has good eyesight. No wonder he asked me to take him back several times. After seeing him today, I really can't bear to part with him.”
Tang Chengliu's expression changed. In an instant, he actually became an amiable old superior.
Seeing Wang Yi's confused expression, Tang Chengliu opened the drawer and took out a letter of appointment, placing it in front of Wang Yi.
"Order. Wang Yi is appointed as the Director of the Investigation Bureau of the Military Affairs Committee of the National Government, Shanghai Station. He will be awarded the rank of Major. The date of his appointment is December 21, 1937. The Director of the Investigation Bureau of the Military Affairs Committee of the National Government, Dai Li, will personally appoint him.”
"Congratulations, Chief Wang." Tang Chengliu shook hands with Wang Yi with a smile.
What the hell, this military commander Shanghai station was almost completely wiped out, and he was given the position of a director as soon as he went. He had just graduated less than two months ago, and he had been promoted two levels.
Actually, this was also a method that could not be helped. Because Wang Tianmu was a veteran of the military, if Dai Li sent people with enough power back to Shanghai, it would not be long before Wang Tianmu recognized them. Therefore, they could only choose from the rookies.
At this time, Viper was quite satisfied with Wang Yi's performance. In addition, Wang Yi was a newcomer and did not know much about the Commander. Even if something happened in Shanghai, it would not affect the Commander too much. Dai Li decided to use Wang Yi for this purpose.
Actually, to put it bluntly, Dai Li would not care whether Wang Yi died or not.
"I will definitely do my best to serve the party and the country, to serve the bureau chief!”Wang Yi saluted again.
" Alright, alright, there's no need to be so formal. From now on, we're all on the same side. This is the activity fund personally signed by the director..."
Tang Chengliu clapped his hands, and a young woman with a slender figure walked out of the room, carrying a small box.
" Here's a thousand dollars. It'll be your activity expenses. Young man, don't make yourself suffer when you're out…" After saying that, Tang Chengliu's small eyes glanced at the woman's full body and raised his eyebrows at Wang Yi, as if to say," You know what I mean."
After leaving Tang Chengliu's office, Wang Yi carried his suitcase and felt extremely disgusted. At this moment, many hot-blooded youths were risking their lives for this country and this nation to gather information in the enemy's territory. There were people who were bleeding and sacrificing themselves at any time.
However, these people in high positions were using the power in their hands to profit. It was not difficult to imagine what those people in embroidered robes were busy doing in the entire building!
As the rear of the battles in Shanghai and Wuhan, Changsha had accumulated a large amount of military supplies and supplies, which created a way for illegal traders to profit.
The price of grain outside changed every day, and these people made a fortune from it.
This was the true story of the rotten wine and rotten meat in the vermilion gate, and the frozen bones on the road.
