Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

Chapter 224 Lu Ningyi works at the Intelligence Department

How could Zhu Zhaolan not understand that not only is a general a general, but a major general is also a general, a lieutenant general is also a general, and an admiral is also a general!

Even though he is now a colonel, the rank from colonel to major general is a huge threshold that many people cannot reach in their entire lives. The higher you go, the more difficult it is to get promoted.

He then straightened his body and gave Xu Le a standard military salute.

Xu Le waved his hand and said jokingly, "Come on, stop pretending here. Ping'er, the Intelligence Department is now managed by Dalong, you can go there and take a position as deputy director. Just visit occasionally and take a good rest during this time!"

However, Zhang Shuping shook her head slightly: "Master, I don't want to do intelligence-related work anymore. The Communications Office is also the lifeblood of the army. I want to go there."

Xu Le opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He could only nod in agreement. "Well, the director of the Communications Department seems to be a former member of the Guard. You should take the position of deputy director, supervise their work, and do a good job of protecting some confidential documents!"

Xu Le knew that in the last battle, many of Zhang Shuping's confidants died, especially Xiaosi and Jiuba. It was she who arranged for Xiaosi to go to Jiexiu, so she thought that she had harmed Xiaosi, and she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Zhang Shuping nodded in agreement: "I understand! By the way, I recommend someone to be the deputy director of the Intelligence Department."

"who is it?"

"Lu Shiyu's father, Lu Ningyi, the boss of Lu's Trading Company! He has much more experience in intelligence than I do, and he is very experienced. Our intelligence department can be divided into two parts. One part is mainly based at the headquarters, in the open, and the other part is in the dark, led by Lu Ningyi.

In this battle, Lu Ningyi made a huge contribution. Dozens of killers he had carefully trained almost all died while protecting the civilians, and the old butler who had followed him for decades was also killed by a stray bullet.

In order to ensure the livelihood of the people who retreated to the mountains, Lu Ningyi almost spent all his family wealth. I think he can be reused! "

Xu Le's eyes lit up as well. Zhang Shuping's suggestion was very good. It could integrate the work of the Intelligence Department, make clear distinctions between inside and outside, and strengthen management.

As for loyalty, the political commissar doesn't need to do any work, as he believes in Lu Ningyi's loyalty.

"We'll do as you say. The work of the Intelligence Department's external expansion will be handed over to him. And he's good at doing business. Our army is also doing business now. Some of the business is not easy to put on the table, so it's just right to transfer it to his Lu family.

By the way, tell him to be careful when cooperating with those companies, and if he thinks they are trustworthy, try to recruit them to our team!

He probably doesn't know my true identity yet, so don't tell him specifically. Let him go to Minister Jiang to get the appointment letter as soon as possible!"

Only after getting the appointment letter could Lu Ningyi be considered as his subordinate and enjoy the 20% business bonus of a millionaire.

He believed that Lu Ningyi could improve the military's intelligence and business.

Zhang Shuping shook her head slightly. Lu Ningyi still thought that his young master was Zhen Zhiying, the leader of the 665th Regiment, and his son and daughter had not revealed their identities for such a long time.

What a weird family.

.......

After all, Xu Le did not promote his aunt's family according to Jiang Feng's opinion, which was considered a discount.

Zhu Xiaoping must be sent to the Operations Department. Currently, there are only Jiang Feng and Wang Dafu, the qualified senior officers in the 88th Army. As for Fang Yue, it will take some time for him to transform.

Since Jiang Feng will be in charge of the headquarters and Xu Le himself is a hands-off boss, the only one who can truly lead the large team is Wang Dafu.

Zhu Xiaoping worked in the Quartermaster Department for more than a year and had a certain influence in each division and regiment.

After all, the troops had to get Zhu Xiaoping's approval before receiving any supplies except weapons, so those who came and went became familiar with each other. Some troops even secretly established relationships with him in order to receive more.

But this does not constitute corruption or bribery, nor is there any misappropriation of public funds. Few people in the 88th Army are short of this money. What they lack is the atmosphere, so Jiang Feng did not care.

Which group can get more is up to you!

Take Lu Yanhao for example. Although he was approved 2 yuan because of Lu Shiyu's relationship, he actually used the money to research and develop equipment and did not embezzle it.

Except for the time when I took people to the logistics department to eat and drink a lot...

It seems like more than once...

........

At the end of the month, a special guest came to the 88th Army, who was also an old acquaintance of Xu Le.

General Tong, who once visited the military parade in Shuitou Town, is Commander Jiang's right-hand man.

"Young Marshal, we haven't seen each other for almost a year. As the saying goes, a day without seeing each other feels like three autumns. This year for us is probably dozens of years."

As soon as General Tong came up, he grabbed Xu Le's hand and asked about his health. Before Xu Le could speak, he sighed:

"I remember the last time I came here, I saw your army's lineup, the luxurious equipment, and the passion of the soldiers. I still remember it vividly. But it was not until I saw it today that I realized how ignorant I was. The rapid development of your army has astonished me!"

This was what General Tong felt along the way. There were tanks and armored vehicles everywhere, cannons everywhere, and well-trained soldiers. This was something that could not be seen in any other army in the Tang Dynasty.

No, the elite of the elite of the National Guard are not even half as good as the 88th Army.

It is no wonder that such a force could chase hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. If the 88th Army was attacking him, he would probably not even have the courage to shoot.

Xu Le also smiled and welcomed him warmly: "No, it's just the mess of my subordinates. The honor of the army was earned by their blood, and I have no credit at all! General Tong must be tired from the journey, I will arrange for someone to prepare food and rooms. Have a good rest today, and we will have a good chat tomorrow!"

After coming to this world, there are not many people that Xu Le admires from the bottom of his heart.

Commander Wei was the first, General Tong was the second, and Commander Li was the third.

The reason why Xu Le admired General Tong was that he saw a passion in his eyes, a zeal to defend his country without any other elements mixed in. He was truly running for the war of resistance.

In order to bring these naval and air force officers and soldiers together, General Tong mediated and thus ensured Xu Le's greatest interests.

Of course, this was a win-win 'deal'. The five air defense regiments obtained by Commander Jiang were put to practical use, which greatly reduced the losses in the mountain city.

If it weren't for General Tong, the deal would have been done, but not as quickly and for as much.

.......

The next day, Xu Le, Jiang Feng, and General Tong spent half a day reminiscing about the past. Their conversation had nothing to do with military affairs. There were no polite words or flattery. It was like they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

This made Xu Le and Jiang Feng feel unprecedentedly relaxed, and their favorable impression of General Tong increased significantly.

"Young Marshal, Commander Jiang. Because you won such a great victory in Shanxi Province and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese's arrogance, the Japanese are now mobilizing their forces throughout the Tang Dynasty, so the Military Commission is also extremely busy. I finally found some time to rush over.

I can't stay any longer this time, I have to leave tonight. Let's get down to business first!"

After saying that, General Tong waved his hand, and an accompanying person not far away handed over a file bag.

General Tong was about to open it after taking it, but after thinking for a while, he handed it to Xu Le and said, "Young Marshal, let you take a look first."

Xu Le opened it and took a look, then passed the file to Jiang Feng and said, "Go call them over!"
