Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 331 Song Qi's Dinner

For several days, not to mention the so-called contact person, not even a hair of the person was caught.

However, Lin Ze did not seem discouraged at all. He still insisted on listening to reports every day, organizing the materials collected on the spot, and then reporting to his superiors.

Isotani Xianglong was very satisfied with Lin Ze's attitude. He came from Tianjin. Tianjin can't be said to be a place full of chaos, but it can only be said to be full of monsters and demons.

Because it is an important port, a major transportation route going north and south, and the old territory of the Green Gang, there are all kinds of people here, and the local business forces are not good at other things, but they are good at corruption.

Under the influence of this environment, the biggest business of Tianjin's secret service was smuggling, and they even provided armed protection for the trafficking of contraband such as opium and arms.

Xiao Rizu did list opium as a banned substance, but this did not mean a total ban. It just meant that only they could sell it and open opium dens, while no one else could.

Of course they would be very careful about the money that only beasts could earn.

Therefore, there is no need to talk about the combat effectiveness of Tianjin's secret service agency. There are large liaison stations in the Red Zone and the South, and intelligence personnel from various countries gather there. It can be called the Casablanca of the East. In comparison, even Shanghai is slightly inferior.

In this contrast, Lin Ze, who works diligently and meticulously every day, is simply a model employee representative.

Isogai Mukitaka even publicly praised Lin Ze's work within the gendarmerie headquarters. Now everyone was more polite to Lin Ze, and it was generally believed that Lin Ze would definitely become the next captain of the Counterintelligence Department.

A few days passed like this, and the city of Beiping welcomed another important dinner.

The people from the base camp finally arrived, bringing with them the appointment documents for Naoto Matsuki.

Almost all the people who went were well-known and important. In previous dinners, businessmen were invited, but this time there were none.

Lin Ze was barely a well-known figure, and basically quite important, so he was also among those invited.

The hotel we used was the Six Nations Hotel, as Song Qi had a special liking for this place.

Given Lieutenant Lin's current position, he didn't need to lead security himself. Xiao Jiang Dagui was responsible for leading people to search the hotel, and then set up several checkpoints nearby together with the troops from the front.

It is said that General Terauchi will also come. I wonder if this grandson's butt is healed now.

When going to the restaurant, Lin Ze saw Gao Shengping and Jiao Zhenguo outside the perimeter.

Lin Ze got out of the car and greeted Lao Gao. Lao Gao couldn't help but sigh that there are different levels of traitors!

As a deputy director, he can only guard outside with Jiao Zhenguo, but Brother Lin Ze can actually enter the room!

Lin Ze saw Gao Shengping's mood and handed him a cigarette, "Director, this kind of dinner will definitely not fill you up, how about we have another drink tonight?"

Gao Shengping took the cigarette and was in a good mood. He glanced at Jiao Zhenguo from the side, meaning that even Brother Lin Ze is so polite to me, and you, an outsider, are still chattering every day. What are you so angry about?

Jiao Zhenguo felt mixed emotions. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!

I can only say to myself, I am an undercover agent, I am an undercover agent, I am not a real traitor, there is no need to envy him.

Lao Gao lit up a cigarette and said, "No problem, Shengmin, please go in quickly. It's not good to be late. When you're done here, let's go to my yard and have a drink together."

Just as Lin Ze was about to light a cigarette, Jiao Zhenguo came over, took out a lighter, and lit it.

He hesitated to say something, yet seemed a little embarrassed, which was quite a contrast.

Lin Ze smiled, lit a cigarette with his fire, and winked at Lao Gao.

Lao Gao snorted coldly, a little unhappy.

Damn Jiao Zhenguo, you don’t want to be my dog, but you rush to be brother Shengmin’s dog, right?

Even so, it would still be beneficial for Lao Gao's career advancement to bring Jiao Zhenguo to his side. Now that he has taken the initiative to show goodwill, he cannot make a judgment based solely on his inner likes and dislikes.

So Lao Gao forced a smile and said, "Captain Jiao has been working hard recently. Come have a drink tonight."

Lin Ze got in the car at the right time.

The dinner in the evening was boring, as they only served cold dishes. General Terauchi did not come after all, and an official from the headquarters and Naoto Matsuki became the protagonists.

Especially Song Qi, his face was flushed and he walked with a breeze.

This is understandable. Under the Japanese three-class military rank system, from warrant officer to second lieutenant, from captain to major, and from colonel to major general, these three thresholds are the most difficult to cross.

Especially this last step. If you take it, the world will be vast and boundless. If you can’t, you will just be a colonel for the rest of your life.

Moreover, the difficulty of this step does not lie in the performance or achievement threshold, but in two unspoken rules.

First, they must be graduates of Lu University. Second, they must be nobles.

If you meet both requirements, then congratulations, as long as you don't die too early, you will become a general sooner or later.

If only one is satisfied, then it depends on fate.

At this moment, Naoto Matsuki felt that he was quite lucky.

The banquet began with the officer from the headquarters reading out the promotion order, followed by a speech by Naoto Matsuki.

As usual, he first thanked the emperor for his grace, then praised the leadership of the headquarters, and then reviewed his work experience in the gendarmerie headquarters.

When talking about this, Naoto Matsuki actually mentioned Lin Ze!

"It is worth mentioning that during my tenure as the commander-in-chief of the Beiping Military Police Headquarters, I helped Lin Ze become our official officer. Facts have proved that during his tenure in the headquarters, Lin Sang has repeatedly made meritorious contributions and made great contributions to our counterintelligence cause!"

……

Everyone present turned their eyes to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze was showing off his small cake and enjoying the meal, but he didn't expect Matsuzaki Naoto to do this. He held the small plate, waved to everyone awkwardly, and saluted Matsuzaki Naoto.

There was a good-natured laugh.

Of course, there was also ridicule, and there were also middle-level officers who were unhappy with Lin Ze.

But Lin Ze doesn’t care. There are many people who are unhappy with me. Who do you think you are?

In the crowd, Kitahara Ransuke also laughed. This Lin-san is smart and capable when handling cases, but he is still a young man after all!

He understood why Naoto Matsuki mentioned Hayashi specifically, and he was saying this to Mukitaka Isotani.

Lin Ze is just a typical representative. What Song Qi really means is that I was the one who promoted all the officers in the headquarters. You, Isogai, have to think carefully about what you should do as a commander.

Then why do we have to talk about Lin Ze and not Kitahara Ransuke?

Kitahara was previously a strong candidate for the commander-in-chief. Now that Isotani has taken office, mentioning Kitahara again would not be a friendly reminder, but a pure slap in Isotani's face.

Song Qi graduated from Lu University, but he is not a noble, so he would not do such a thing.

The banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere.
