In the Military Senate, the emphasis is on the word "senator".
If others listen to you, it's a consultation. If they don't listen to you, it's a fart.
Will the committee listen? Haha.
Therefore, it is simply a decoration.
Since it is just a decoration, there is no real work to do.
You don't have to go to work on time.
It doesn't matter whether you go or not.
Come whenever you want.
Leave if you want.
But the security is still very tight.
There are still a lot of various military secrets stored inside.
Basically, a copy of all combat plans will be sent to the Military Senate for filing and given to Dean Tang for review.
If you ask someone else to be the dean, then you don't even show them the military plan. That seems too much.
"Sir, please show your ID."
"Give!"
Zhang Yong took out his certificate.
The sentry quickly let him go.
A captain officer came out and took the initiative to lead them in. At the same time, he gave a brief introduction.
Zhang Yong responded politely while silently monitoring the surroundings.
No red dots were found, indicating that there were no Japanese.
There are generally no spies in such high-level institutions because they cannot infiltrate.
Those who can get close to here are all veterans who have served for many years. They need some qualifications. This is exactly what Japanese spies lack. They dare not take risks on the battlefield.
What if ten spies were sent out to fight on the battlefield, and all of them were killed? Wouldn't it be in vain?
No matter how well-trained a spy is, there is no guarantee that he will survive in a chaotic battlefield. Bullets don’t have eyes, so it doesn’t matter whether he is a spy or not.
Therefore, what the Japanese spy does must be to bribe the traitor.
The core of the problem now is who had contact with the Japanese spies and then quietly defected to the Japanese spies.
Logically speaking, a Qingshui Yamen like the Military Senate should not have too much contact with the outside world! Unless a Japanese spy has targeted someone and deliberately seduced him.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly, the sound of a tram was heard in the distance.
Zhang Yong subconsciously turned around and saw a tram passing nearby, across the street.
Vaguely, the tram feels familiar?
strangeness……
Think hard.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Luo Yiming asked flatteringly.
"Don't talk." Zhang Yong gestured.
He was trying to remember why this tram looked familiar.
As a result, after a moment, he actually remembered it.
He thought of the tram he met on the way when Nightingale took him to find Zhang Xiaolin's treasure.
There was a Japanese spy on the tram at that time. He was also the conductor.
Yes, that's it. It's that tram.
There is no spy on the tram passing by now. It may be a different tram on the same route.
An idea flashed in my mind.
Is there any connection between the conductor’s spy and the traitor in the Military Senate?
"Yi Ming!"
"arrive!"
"Go immediately and investigate all the stops this tram passes. Draw a picture for me."
"yes!"
"Also, secretly invite people from the tram company."
"yes!"
Luo Yiming immediately agreed and went.
Zhang Yong was about to speak when he suddenly saw a car arriving.
It turned out to be a brand new Stypunkt sedan, but it had no license plate or any markings.
Zhang Yong:???
who?
Could it be Dean Tang?
Dean Tang travels without any guards?
In the end I realized I was overthinking.
The person who got off the bus was Tang Shengming.
Oh, someone informed him, so he came to greet him personally.
"Master Tang!"
"Shaolong!"
"Don't dare. Just call me Zhang Yong."
"Tell Shaolong to be kind. I didn't expect you to come so early. The riverside was very lively last night. I thought you might have to rest in the past two days."
"Last night was just a matter of luck. I wasn't very tired. I didn't even go into the water."
"I told you that day that it was done. Unexpectedly, you made great achievements yesterday. I guess Madam may arrange more work for you."
"Why?"
"He who can do it should work harder!"
"Well……"
Zhang Yong thought to himself that the Third Intelligence Office didn't even have the funds.
The meaning of “work more for those who can do it” means to make the cows work more, but don’t let the cows eat grass, so do they have to work overtime?
"Did you find anything?"
"Not yet."
"Then are there any doubts? Can you tell me something? Let me gain some knowledge."
"I suspect the tram passing by outside..."
Zhang Yong told him honestly.
Since the other party treats each other sincerely, he doesn't hide it either.
For the time being, he was indeed suspicious of that tram because there were Japanese spies on that tram.
"What's the reason?"
"I discovered before that there was a conductor on this tram who was Japanese."
"real?"
Tang Shengming immediately became interested.
He looked up and looked outside the gate. Across the street was the tram line.
Every day, many people from the Military Senate take this tram to and from get off work, including many colonels and even major generals.
Don't think that every officer has a car. In fact, most officers don't have a car.
Transferring to the Military Senate is equivalent to sitting on the bench. There is no real power. Without real power, there will naturally be no other income.
How is it possible to buy and maintain a car simply relying on a meager salary?
Some officers may not even be able to support their families. This is not an exaggeration. It is the truth.
If your family has no property, or you don't know how to be flexible, the salary is really not enough to live on. Therefore, those with power are desperately corrupt.
"I have sent people to investigate. The specific situation depends on the results of the investigation."
"Okay. Let's go in and talk."
"good!"
Zhang Yong followed Tang Shengming into the office building.
The office building of the Military Senate is quite new. It was completed less than three years ago.
The Military Senate was established in 1929. It didn't last long. It used to be on Shuiyin Road, which was too dilapidated. Later, special funds were allocated to build a new building.
Tang Shengming's brother also took office at that time.
The reason why he was selected was because he no longer had real power and could not control the Hunan Army. However, he was very senior and quite prestigious.
With qualifications but no real power, he is really the perfect candidate for President of the Military Senate!
As a result, the dean lasted three years.
"That's the only one in the Military Senate that needs to be on duty 24 hours a day."
"Where?"
"Archives Building. Stores various military documents."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong nodded.
He believed what Tang Shengming said. In fact, it was indeed the case.
Even if no one is guarding other places, no spies are willing to visit because there is nothing they need inside.
Only this archive building stores a large number of military documents, including many secret battle plans. This is what Japanese spies need. The traitors they bribe are naturally for the military secrets inside.
"I have prepared a list of all the people who can enter the archives building."
"Don't you know how to identify yourself?"
"I didn't identify him. I feel like no one is suspected."
"Then let me take a look!"
Zhang Yong actually doesn’t have confidence in himself either.
He couldn't identify the traitor just by looking at the information. The traitor was not revealed.
But it is certain that the rank of this traitor should be between the three levels of lieutenant colonel, colonel, and major general.
The level is too low and many secrets are inaccessible.
If the level is too high, it is difficult to bribe. It is also easy to be exposed. It is easy to be investigated and narrowed down.
Lieutenant colonel and colonel are the best. There are many and they are inconspicuous.
In fact, Tang Shengming circled thirty colonel officers and fifty lieutenant colonel officers.
Even there are nine counselors with the rank of major general and above.
Good guy, this Military Senate is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! It has no real power but is very rich in military rank.
This was also one of Chiang Kai-shek's ways of dealing with rival generals.
Deprive the other party of their military power, then promote you to a higher rank, and then place you in the Military Senate.
I'll give you a promotion, but I'll ask you to sit on the bench. It's proven to work over time.
In just a few years, the Military Senate was already overcrowded with officers. When the Anti-Japanese War began, it was even more exaggerated. It could almost be said to have become a nursing home for officers.
It can be said unceremoniously that simply by releasing the officers of the Military Senate, millions of troops can be commanded.
Among them, there were nearly a hundred nominal lieutenant general counselors at their peak. This shows the extent to which military ranks are rampant.
The only thing that depreciates faster than military rank is probably French currency.
Looking at the personal information as thick as a book, Zhang Yong's head was as big as ten. He had no clue at all.
In the end, I could only pretend to turn it over and then close it.
Let's wait for the tram.
"Come!"
"sit!"
Tang Shengming invited Zhang Yong into his office.
He also has a title in the Military Senate. He still holds the title of Major General Senator.
Hehe, you are young, Major General. It is definitely a characteristic of this era.
If you have a family background, you will be embarrassed to go out and say hello to people unless you hold the title of major general.
"Huh?"
Zhang Yong suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent.
It turned out that he actually saw a stack of comic newspapers in Tang Shengming's office.
At first, I thought I had seen it wrong. Later I found out that it was indeed true.
Although it was in the form of a newspaper, it was all comics. However, the content of the comics was something he had never seen before. It was not the familiar Superman, Batman, etc.
shocked.
Tang Shengming actually liked this.
He actually brought this back from the United States! It seems that he is quite obsessed with it!
"What? You know this too?"
"When I was in Shanghai, I had contact with some Americans."
"I see."
“I feel that this industry may have great development prospects in the future.”
"Yeah?"
"Many Americans don't like to read large books. They like this kind of simple and easy-to-understand books. It may be spread quickly within a few years."
Zhang Yong also did not hide his views.
In fact, by the time of World War II, comic books would have developed dramatically.
Many American soldiers carry comic books with them to relieve boredom and comfort themselves. This thing, like Coca-Cola, has become indispensable.
If you have money...
Yes. Zhang Yong suddenly found a new opportunity to make a fortune.
He can't get involved in other industries. But the comics industry is still relatively barren now. He can completely monopolize it!
Neither Marvel nor DC has appeared yet.
None of the various superheroes have yet to take shape. The earliest Superman appeared before World War II?
Anyway, right now, those superheroes haven't had a chance to show up yet.
But he can advance.
When others travel through time, they copy books. He can copy comics.
It just so happens that this industry requires low costs and does not require such high technical content.
He also has so many superhero images in his mind.
Whether it’s Marvel or DC, you can copy it.
ah……
It’s a gold mine!
When the comic book industry matures in the future, it can enter into movies and television...
never mind……
over thinking.
Now let’s do some small moves first.
"Oh? Are you so optimistic about its development?" Tang Shengming seemed very interested.
"In fact, I have a lot of ideas..." Zhang Yong did not hide it, "I have thought about drawing a Superman, a Flash, and a Spider-Man before?"
"Superman?"
"Superman has very powerful power and can destroy all evil."
"flash?"
"It's very fast. As fast as lightning. It will destroy the enemy before they can react."
"What about Spider-Man?"
"As the name suggests, of course he has the special skills of a spider. He can mutate. He can shoot very tough spider silk, which can help him jump freely in the middle of the city..."
"Etc., etc……"
Tang Shengming suddenly brought paper and pen. Then he hurriedly started recording.
He thinks this is a very good idea. If someone can follow this idea and draw it, then the sales of comic newspapers will definitely increase dramatically.
Zhang Yong:???
"you……"
"I have invested in this newspaper."
"ah?"
"I own 78% of the shares. Now, I have decided to transfer 25% of the shares to you. Just give me some ideas."
"good!"
Zhang Yong did not hesitate.
He does have a lot of ideas. Regarding comics, Marvel and DC, he has them at his fingertips.
It's too difficult to copy books. He doesn't have that kind of writing style.
It took him a year to finish reading "Gone with the Wind".
Climbing the science and technology tree? Sorry, he used to study liberal arts. He majored in marketing and snake oil. In fact, it was useless.
After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way to do it.
It just so happened that Tang Shengming had money and connections, so we could cooperate well.
He is very satisfied with 25% of the shares.
He immediately sat down, took a sip of tea, and then talked in detail with Tang Sheng.
Tang Shengming seemed to have seen a new world.
This lasted for more than half an hour, and Luo Yiming still hadn't come back.
There's no rush anyway. Let's continue talking.
Two hours later, Luo Yiming finally came back.
At the same time, a red dot entered the map. It happened to be the conductor of the tram.
Then……
Zhang Yong discovered that he had made a mistake.
Totally confused!
Nightingale was in Shanghai before! But this is Jinling!
Oops……
Then it felt incredible.
Why is there an almost identical tram in Jinling? It caused confusion in his memory.
Moreover, there is actually a spy conductor on the tram?
