But what surprised him the most was that the signature behind the note turned out to be "shadow"!

Lu Ming's code name is "Shadow". This code name was originally from Comrade Boran. It was only after Comrade Boran died that Lu Ming continued to use it.

The code name is extremely confidential. At present, except for myself, only No. 1 of the Nanjing Provincial Party Committee knows that because I and Lu Ming are directly responsible for No. 1 and have a high level.

No one in other underground parties on the contact line knows this code name. How did the messenger know?

Then let’s say that the code name must be Lu Ming himself told the messenger, and it must be like this, otherwise the problem will not be explained.

Could it be that Lu Ming has developed secretly, but he is his single-line contact person and a comrade-in-arms for many years. It can be said that he is the person Lu Ming trusts the most, but why hasn't he mentioned this person in front of him?

He barely resisted his sadness, put the note aside, and then checked the other items in the box.

A dozen gold bars and a few stacks of money should be Lu Ming's last savings. Although Lu Ming's position in the Ministry of Finance is not the most oily, it is not the Qingshui government. The gray income received by the welcoming and sending can be said to be very large, but almost all of it was handed over to the organization. As the organization's activities, the remaining money is a daily reserve for emergency needs!

He knew that the red cloth bag had been seen by Lu Ming many years ago. When he opened it, there were two colorful rain flower stones inside, and a photo of Lu Ming's wife who had been sacrificing for many years.

He knew the origin of these two Yuhua stones. This was the token of love between Lu Ming and his wife Huilan. When the two of them had a lifelong relationship, Lu Ming had no money to buy decent gifts for his wife, so the two dug two Yuhua stones by themselves and used them as each other's token of love.

Although the gift is simple, it is full of romantic atmosphere. Since Huilan's death, these two rain flower stones have been treasured by Lu Ming and have never been revealed to outsiders.

This is a treasure that Lu Ming regards as a life treasure. Except for the person he trusts the most, no one else can know!

Looking at the things in front of him, Xia Deyan thought carefully, and these items further confirmed his judgment. The messenger must be the person Lu Ming trusted the most!

He knew Lu Ming's identity, code name, and the most precious personal belongings. The most important thing was that he actually knew his concealed identity. No one could tell him all this except Lu Ming. These are secrets that only Lu Ming knew.

Of course there is a possibility, that is, Lu Ming did not sacrifice himself on the spot, but was arrested, and in the end he did not withstand the torture and then confessed all this.

If it were another underground party intelligence agent, Xia Deyan dared not promise, but he was Lu Ming, a staunch war that had withstood the blood and fire war and had withstood the most severe test of white terror. His comrades and even his lovers were killed by the guns of the National Party. It can be said that he has a deep hatred for the National Party. Anyone may betray the revolution and betray his faith, but Lu Ming is absolutely impossible.

And if Lu Ming rebelled, then the one who came to the door would be the spy of the National Party, not the sender.

This further confirmed his judgment that this messenger must have been developed by Lu Ming and the person he trusted the most.

Since Lu Ming hides it from him, there must be his own reasons. But why did the messenger sign with the code name of Ying? Could it be that he is the heir chosen by Lu Ming?

Yes, it should be like this. This old road actually has this chess piece hidden, but it is too secret. This is great because of the sudden sacrifice of Lao Lu. Without his proof, the connection between the chess piece and the organization was also broken. Otherwise, this person would not have passed the message in this way, because he also knew that he would come to him directly, and Xia Deyan would not believe him at all.

Who would this person be? Xia Deyan thought hard, and he looked at the gold bars and banknotes in front of him. The money was not much, but it was definitely a huge sum of money for the organization, and it was even enough to change the life of an ordinary person. It was not an exaggeration at all. Being able to selflessly hand over the money to the organization without being moved by money means that this person's character is trustworthy, and of course, he can give Lu Ming trust and the person who entrusts his funeral will not have any problems in this regard.

Look at this note again. One hand Song style, one stroke and one stroke, and one iron and silver hook are extremely skillful, especially the last shadow signature, which is connected in one stroke, and writes a shadow character with a flowing and vivid way, like flowing clouds and water, extremely beautiful. This person’s cultural level must be very high, and just this good handwriting can explain it!

In this era, there are too few people with culture and opportunities to receive education. Those who can read are already considered intellectuals. Those who can write this word must have received higher education. Such people are definitely a desperate need in the Red Party!

There is just a doubt, that is, how could this person know the details of Lu Ming’s joint, Zhang Pei’s rebellion, Lu Ming’s sacrifice, and such detailed information are definitely not something that an outsider can know. If you can’t explain this problem clearly, you can’t completely believe him. It would be great if you could know his true identity!

Alas! Old Lu, what kind of problem did you leave me!

After Ning Zhiheng handled this matter, he returned to the Military Intelligence Department the next day. When he arrived at the office, he saw Shi Hong smiling and talking loudly with Wang Shucheng on his face.

"If you have any happy things, let me listen to them too!" Ning Zhiheng saw that both of them were discussing with great enthusiasm and asked with a smile.

When Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng saw Ning Zhiheng coming in, they immediately came up and said excitedly: "Captain, you don't know yet. You and the team leader are going to treat you to dinner!"

Ning Zhiheng was stunned, but immediately reacted and asked quickly: "Is the case settled?"

Shi Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Early early this morning, the guard team leader received a notice that a celebration meeting was held in the South Auditorium at 10 o'clock this morning. The team leader and you are both the first achievements. I heard that even Brother Hong has advanced to the first level this time. This time our third action team showed their face! By the way, the team leader asked you to come and go to his office!"

Ning Zhiheng was also happy when he heard this. He worked hard for this case for so long, and now it is finally time to gain something!

He quickly turned around and went to Wei Liangbi's office. Wei Liangbi was quite reserved, looking calm and gentle, but the excitement and joy revealed in the corners of his eyes could not be hidden from anyone!

"Zhiheng, the section chief just informed me that the celebration meeting will be held at 10 o'clock. We are the first to be promoted and received later. Haha, since you came to the Military Intelligence Department these days, I have really achieved my wish and have a smooth flow!" Wei Liangbi could no longer help but feel the joy in his heart. He grabbed Ning Zhiheng's arm and said happily.

Ning Zhiheng was also very happy and smiled and said, "Senior Brother, your major is worth a celebration meeting to be promoted to a lieutenant colonel. What's the point of cemetery promotion? "

Wei Liangbi said with a hint of pride on his lips, "You have been so busy that you haven't touched the ground these two days, so I haven't told you that there is something to do with you. This time we both not only awarded titles, but also awarded titles!"

"Granting merit! Is this true?" Ning Zhiheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he didn't expect it.

During this period, the size and number of the Kuomintang army was about 1.6 million. This was much stronger when it expanded rapidly after the War of Resistance Against Japan and could reach more than 3 million.

During this period, the promotion and awarding of military ranks of the Kuomintang were very strict. Unlike after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the continuous battles were frequent, casualties were replaced, and the promotion of military ranks was relatively easy, and the awarding of medals began to increase.

During this period, the military was very strict in the management of military ranks, and it was relatively difficult to promote officers.

Take the Military Intelligence Investigation Office as an example. It is in charge of the intelligence investigation and personnel identification of the entire army, and can even deal with military officers below the general level on the spot. At the same time, it is in charge of the national police and military police departments across the country. It can be said that its power is very great. However, its highest officer is only a major general.

As for the issuance of medals, it is even rarer unless the awardee does make a major contribution, after review and verification by the military department, it will be submitted to the Supreme Leader for approval.

In short, the medals of this period are of great value. All those who can get this honor are the best in the army and are highly regarded! It is definitely the greatest honor in the army!
