Dai Chunfeng read with a solemn expression.
"Cheng Qianfan, a captain of the national army and leader of the Shanghai Blue Bird lurking team of the Secret Service, has repeatedly made military exploits. This time, he was not afraid of sacrifice, went deep into the tiger's den, and captured the top-secret strategic intelligence of the Japanese army. He has made great contributions to the state and is specially promoted. He was awarded the rank of major and awarded the third-class Baoding Medal. "
“Major Xicheng Qianfan and his team members will continue to work hard and cooperate sincerely to serve the party and the country with fearlessness, bravery and loyalty.”
“This order comes from Chang Kaishen, Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government.”
“Be loyal to the leader, be loyal to the party and the country, and be loyal to your office.” Cheng Qianfan immediately saluted and said loudly.
"Very good." Dai Chunfeng nodded happily. He personally took off the rank of captain for Cheng Qianfan, wore the rank of major, the third-class Baoding Medal, and arranged the ribbon.
“Let’s arrange for others to come in.”
“Yes!” Cheng Qianfan said.
His men arrived secretly in batches.
After arriving, we were also arranged to wait in different rooms.
Furthermore, for safety reasons, Zhou Ru did not come.
Zhou Ru's identity is known only to Hao Zai and Li Hao, and the identity of the telegraph operator needs to be kept secret.
The remaining team members are divided into three groups.
A group of Bai Xiaoxia, Hao Zai, Li Hao and the little Taoist priest.
Three brothers of the Jiang family.
Wu Shunjia and Yang Changnian were among the first batch.
Qiao Chuntao was injured and did not come.
Among them, only Hao Zai, Li Hao, and the little Taoist priest know the identity of Bai Xiaoxia.
The identity of the little Taoist priest is only known to Hao Zai, Li Hao, the three brothers Jiang Mulezi and Bai Xiaoxia.
Only the three brothers Jiang Mulezi know the identities of Qiao Chuntao and the others.
Subsequently, Cheng Qianfan led one of his men in who had finished changing their clothes.
Dai Chunfeng announced in turn.
“Zhong Guohao, a member of the ‘Blue Bird’ covert team, has served the country sincerely and has made outstanding achievements. He was specially awarded the title of second lieutenant, awarded the eighth-class Yunhui Medal, and was awarded 300 French currency.”
“Bai Xiaoxia, a member of the ‘Blue Bird’ team, was awarded the ninth-class Yunhui Medal and was awarded three hundred legal coins.”
“Li Hao, a member of the ‘Blue Bird’ team, was awarded the ninth-class Yunhui Medal and was awarded 300 legal coins.”
“A member of the ‘Blue Bird’ team and Second Lieutenant of the National Army, Zhou Ru, was awarded the ninth-class Yunhui Medal and was awarded three hundred French coins.”
Zhou Ru did not come, and her medal was received by Cheng Qianfan on her behalf.
“Zhuo Yun, a member of the ‘Blue Bird’ team, served the country conscientiously and was rewarded with two hundred legal coins.”
After that, he led the three brothers Jiang Mulezi and Wu Shunjia to come twice.
“‘Blue Bird’ team members Jiang Dashan, Jiang Sanqun, and Jiang Xiaoning dedicated themselves to serving the country and were rewarded with two hundred French currency.”
“Members of the ‘Blue Bird’ team, Second Lieutenants Wu Shunjia, Second Lieutenant Qiao Chuntao, and Second Lieutenant Yang Changnian of the National Army, who have loyally defended the country, will be rewarded with three hundred French coins.”
Qiao Chuntao’s bonus was received by Cheng Qianfan on his behalf.
After each medal is awarded and awards are given, the team members immediately change back to their regular clothes.
Leave secretly one by one.
Cheng Qianfan was left alone to talk secretly with Dai Chunfeng.
…
“Qianfan, this time the principal has not hesitated to reward you, and he has favored you even more, and promoted you exceptionally.” Dai Chunfeng said.
“Thank you very much for your kind words, principal. I love you, principal.” Cheng Qianfan said with tears of gratitude.
If you strictly follow the Quanxu rank awarding plan of the National Government's Military and Political Department, Cheng Qianfan will have to wait at least two years before he is eligible to be promoted to the Quanxu major rank.
Nowadays, at the age of twenty-two, the title of Major is rare not only in the Secret Service, but even within the national army.
Let’s put it this way, the station chiefs and district chiefs of such important stations in Peking, Tianjin, and Shanghai District of the Secret Service only have the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Quanxu at this time.
“Sit, sit, sit, you don’t need to be restrained in front of me.” Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.
“Yes!” Cheng Qianfan obeyed the order, but he only sat upright on half of the chair.
“The war in North China has begun, and Pingjin has fallen.” Dai Chunfeng said solemnly, “The headquarters has determined that the Japanese army is very likely to open a second battlefield in Shanghai, and the second Battle of Songhu is very likely to break out.”
He looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "The troops and horses have not moved yet, but the intelligence goes first. I have ordered the Shanghai District to make every effort to detect the intelligence of the important military and economic strongholds of the Japanese army. Your lurking team also has a difficult task."
…
"Qianfan and his subordinates must not be afraid of sacrifice, be loyal to their positions, and serve the country with all their devotion." Cheng Qianfan immediately stood up and said loudly.
“Very good, very good.” Dai Chunfeng nodded, “I have always had great trust in your ability.”
He waved his hand, motioning for Cheng Qianfan to sit down, and continued, "You have successfully broken into the two major Japanese intelligence agencies. I am very pleased and have higher requirements for your department."
Dai Chunfeng stood up and came to the wall, opening the spinning curtain.
This is a military map of Shanghai area.
Dai Chunfeng held the command pole and pointed at the map, "Here, here, here, and here."
"The Japanese bases in Shanghai include the Gongda Cotton Factory Armory, the Gongda Cotton Mill, the Shanghai Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, and the Huishan Pier. Once the war breaks out in Shanghai, these locations will become important sites for our army, especially our Defense Air Force, once the war breaks out in Shanghai. Focus on hitting the target.”
"The mission of your department is to find out the detailed information of these strongholds at all costs, and do everything possible to provide ground guidance for the Air Force bombing." After saying that, he paused, "I have given orders to the Shanghai District and will try our best to investigate. Explore these places, but remember that you and them are independent, each performs his own duties, and no horizontal contact can occur."
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. He stared at the map and frowned.
“Subordinates should do their best to complete the task without hesitation.” Cheng Qianfan pondered for a moment, “But...”
“But what?” Dai Chunfeng glanced at him and asked.
“The ‘Blue Bird’ latent team, including subordinates, only has twelve people. The subordinates are worried that time is tight, the task is huge, and there are not enough manpower.” Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
"Well." Dai Chunfeng nodded, "I am aware of the issues you mentioned."
He smiled and said, "I have ordered that five people from the latest batch of students from the special training class in Hangzhou be transferred to your hands."
“That’s great.” Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed, “Virgo is so kind to me, and I’m very grateful.”
…
Cheng Qianfan's gratitude was not fake. The students in the special training class in Hangzhou were all elites. As far as he knew, these students were all targeted by various stations of the Secret Service before they graduated, and were even 'carved up' in advance.
Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and mobilized five students. This was not easy and would even arouse the dissatisfaction of various princes. This is enough to show that Dai Chunfeng attaches great importance to the "Blue Bird" lurking team.
“I have read the files of your team members, the three brothers Jiang Mulezi, Taoist Zhuo Yun, and your little brother Li Hao. Although these people are not formal agents, their abilities are still very good.”
Dai Chunfeng put down his baton and said, "The Japanese invaders have launched a full-scale invasion of China. The future struggle situation will inevitably become more and more severe. We must attract more young people who are determined to serve the country. Regarding this, you have done a good job before. Later, We must keep up our efforts.”
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded, which meant that he was allowed to continue recruiting troops.
“Of course, the team members have expanded, and the ‘Blue Bird’ latent team is too small to adapt to the new struggle situation, so—” Dai Chunfeng looked serious and said in a deep voice, “Cheng Qianfan is listening to the order—”
“My subordinate is here.” Cheng Qianfan stood at attention.
“From now on, the ‘Blue Bird’ latent team has been upgraded to the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team directly under the Secret Service Headquarters. The leader of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team, Major Cheng Qianfan, is code-named ‘Blue Bird’. Your team will directly take orders from me.”
“Yes!” Cheng Qianfan said loudly with a serious expression, showing a hint of excitement and surprise.
"You can decide on your own regarding the specific structure of your department. You will send me a telegram for approval soon." Dai Chunfeng patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder and said.
“Yes!” Cheng Qianfan stood at attention and saluted, “I would like to thank Chu Zuo for your cultivation!”
"You are a junior from the same hometown that I like, and you are my junior." Dai Chunfeng smiled and said, "Don't disappoint me."
“Subordinates should be loyal to you, to their leaders, and to serve the party and the country!” Cheng Qianfan said loudly.
“Very good!” Dai Chunfeng said happily, “You are very energetic, this is the momentum you want!”

PS1: Regarding Dai Chunfeng’s military rank at this time, I consulted a lot of information, and there are different opinions. Some said that he was a lieutenant colonel at this time, and some said that he was a colonel. According to the needs of the plot, this book chooses to adopt the view of Quan Xu’s military rank. .
