Chapter 1149 I only regret that there are too few people like Jin Fo.
The mountain city is humid and hot.
Luojiawan, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Boss Dai's office was like a small steamer, making it unbearable to stay there.
Someone of his status would have the ability to get his hands on an air conditioner made in the United States, but Boss Dai complained that the air conditioner was too noisy, which was driving him to the brink of a nervous breakdown!
Shen Xing went to get more ice and put it in the room to cool it down. Two days later, Boss Dai found that his knees were aching slightly, so he asked Shen Xing to take the ice out again.
Nowadays, Mr. Dai can only rely on a fan to keep cool.
The heat in the air was one thing, but the inner turmoil he felt was what made him even more miserable.
Since the frequent clashes with the south and west, the Military Intelligence Bureau's performance has been terrible, almost ruining the goodwill it had accumulated in front of that person by repeatedly cracking Japanese intelligence.
First, Hu Zongbei's troops were frequently outmaneuvered by the enemy. Sometimes, he would issue orders for his troops to set off the night before, and the enemy would issue a telegram condemning him the next day.
The internal audit was conducted, and Boss Dai even dispatched a special task force, full of elite troops, to try to find out the mole. Many were arrested and many were killed, but Hu Zongbei's team was still like a sieve. Orders were issued today, and the west would know about them tomorrow.
For this, Boss Dai was rebuked twice, which angered him so much that he cursed, "I think this protégé of the emperor, Lao Hu, wants to become the king of the Northwest. He is raising bandits to enhance his own power, but he expects us, the Military Intelligence Bureau, to suffer for him!"
The relationship between Boss Dai and General Hu is quite complicated.
The two used to be inseparable, and some even said they might be kindred spirits, because Hu had previously married a woman named Ye Xiazhai, who had been Dai's private secretary, which left much to the imagination.
In addition, General Hu did not stop Boss Dai from getting involved in the military, which greatly increased Boss Dai's goodwill towards him.
Of course, there was also a sour side to their relationship. For example, the serious leak of intelligence from the Northwest greatly increased their distrust. At the same time, Boss Dai kept trying to improve his status in the military, even at the cost of opposing Chen Cheng, which greatly displeased General Hu.
According to General Hu: Who do you think you are, Boss Dai, to dare to challenge Senior Chen?
After the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) conducted a large-scale investigation into General Hu's troops, the excessive number of arrests and killings further strained the relationship between the two. Not long ago, General Hu simply drove away the MIB members and established his own Second Intelligence Division.
Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say that their relationship completely broke down. In the original timeline, after Boss Dai crashed into the mountain, General Hu was very indignant and proposed to personally go to the scene to investigate. However, Mao Dafeng refused to let him go, saying things like the mountain was high and the road was dangerous, and the situation was unstable. In short, she wouldn't let General Hu participate in the investigation. The ins and outs of this situation will probably never be figured out by anyone.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in!"
Shen Xing forced himself to come in. Every time Boss Dai got scolded, Shen Xing would get scolded by Boss Dai. These days, Shen Xing was almost driven crazy by the scolding.
"Xiao Shen, how are those people we sent to infiltrate the west doing? They're the elite of the Linli class. Not only are they fluent in Hunan dialect, but they're also quite familiar with the theories of the Red Zone... Yancheng likes young people like that!"
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then didn't dare to speak.
Boss Dai frowned. "Why are you being so long-winded? What exactly happened?"
"Chief, the Telecommunications Department has made several attempts to contact the radio stations that sent the messages to Yancheng, but... there has been no response..."
Boss Dai was instantly enraged and was about to stand up and yell when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He quickly grabbed the table and it took him a long time to catch his breath. By then, his face was deathly pale.
"Incompetent! Useless!"
Seeing Boss Dai so angry, Shen Xing was also frightened and quickly said, "Director, there is still good news. According to routine intelligence from North China, the Japanese have begun an offensive against the guerrillas in central Hebei. This offensive is massive and may be able to wipe out the Red bandits in central Hebei. You know, the Red bandits mainly rely on the guerrillas in central Hebei in the area east of the Taihang Mountains. If the Japanese can wipe them out, it will be a major blow to the Red bandits!"
Whenever North China is mentioned, Boss Dai thinks of the Golden Buddha.
The golden Buddha statue is now just a placebo; just thinking about it makes me feel a lot better.
"I only regret that there are too few people like Jin Fo! If there were more people like Jin Fo, how could we not succeed in our great cause of the Party and the Kuomintang? How could our Military Intelligence Bureau not grow stronger?"
Boss Dai sat down again, took a sip of tea, and said, “Jin Fo is quite adept at infiltrating the enemy. He once trained a Mr. N who made great contributions. What if Jin Fo were to infiltrate the Red Bandits? Here’s what you do: send a telegram to Jin Fo, asking him to consider this matter. If it’s feasible, ask him to send someone to infiltrate the Red Bandits as soon as possible. Perhaps the recent raid on the Red Bandits’ base in Jizhong by the Japanese will be an opportunity. Remember, the tone of the telegram shouldn’t be too serious. Try not to make it sound like an order… Never mind, I’ll draft the telegram myself.”
Before long, Boss Dai drafted the telegram and asked Shen Xing to take it to Xiao Wang to send.

"Whether or not the food can be distributed properly is crucial to this operation, to the strategic decisions of the North China Area Army, and even to the Empire's interests in North China! I've divided you into more than a dozen food distribution teams to distribute food in the cities according to different areas!"
"Remember, give each person who comes to collect grain a grain book like this. The grain book should describe the person's physical characteristics. Stamp it every time grain is collected."
"Each group will be assigned ten military police officers to maintain order. Anyone who dares to disrupt the distribution of grain or steal other people's grain will be shot on the spot!"
Inside the military police headquarters, Lin Ze was giving a speech.
Since the Special Committee on Supplies took over the power of military grain distribution, there has been plenty of grain in the warehouses, and the burden on the people has been reduced. This time, with Okamura Tadashi's intervention and Hayashi Ze's secret telegram, a batch of military grain was quickly mobilized, loaded onto trucks, and transported from Beiping.
This batch of grain was divided into two parts: one part was for the troops at the front and the other part was for the disaster victims in the city.
Here, the materials committee gave a vague answer. Nobody knew how much was in each of these two parts, and nobody knew whether the actual amount loaded onto the trucks was as much as on paper.
After the supplies arrived in Shimen, Lin Ze arranged for military police and assistant administrators to distribute them. Each group was managed by an assistant administrator, while the actual work was done by Japanese soldiers. It was quite interesting that the Japanese soldiers were given military rations from the front lines to distribute to the civilians.
After Lin Ze finished speaking, Niu San'er came to report, "Master, the telegram forwarded from Tianjin is from Chongqing."
Lin Ze got into the car. "Let's go back to the Zhang residence first, and see what happens there."
