Qin Chuan met the beaming Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant called Hongfu House in the French Concession.

Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali were not extravagant, they only ordered four hot dishes and two cold dishes.

Since I had something else to do in the afternoon, I didn’t order any liquor, just a dozen beers.

After the three of them poured the wine, they only exchanged a few words, and while eating and drinking, Qin Chuan reported to the two of them his situation after returning to Shanghai and his future plans.

However, Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali, who were originally happy, fell silent after listening to Qin Chuan's report. They both just drank beer silently and did not speak.

Qin Chuan didn't know why, and thought he didn't go to the anti-smuggling team to report, which made the two people unhappy. Just when he was about to explain, Qi Lanfeng let out a long sigh and said a little embarrassed.

"Kawako, I really didn't expect that you, an ordinary police academy student, could actually be a hidden scholar. I really didn't expect that you just took a train, and in just a few hours, you...

Establish a relationship with St. John's University and the newspaper, and then become a lecturer at St. John's University and a writer who makes the newspaper obey its orders. Over time, you may even become a professor and a great writer. This is a combination of identity, status, and

It's a good career with good income. Now it seems that Lao Wang and I did harm to you by dragging you into our second office!"

Not only Qi Lanfeng had this idea, but even Qin Chuan also thought about this issue. If he was not from the Second Division and was just an ordinary policeman now, he could quit his job and concentrate on being a writer and his professor.

Scholars not only have enough food and clothing to worry about, but also get a good status.

You know, just for his income as a university lecturer, he has a monthly income of 120 yuan, and for a professor, it costs 200 to 300 yuan. There is no risk, let alone danger. And at this time, the salary of a captain officer

Military pay is only 80 yuan per month, a major's salary is only 135 yuan, and even a colonel's salary is only 240 yuan, which is still worse than the income of a university professor.

As for him, a top soldier with no rank, his military salary is less than ten yuan. Even if the military salary of this special department can be higher, his income is only a few yuan or more than ten yuan, which is not even as high as what he wrote.

A day’s income from novels.

If it was just for money, Qin Chuan would naturally regret it, and he would regret it so much that his intestines would be blue.

However, his ideal as a time traveler is not just to live a comfortable life. He feels that he should take up the responsibility of fighting against aggression and contribute his meager strength to the early prosperity and rejuvenation of the country. Only in this way

, he lived up to God’s great gift of allowing him to travel through time once.

Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali actually felt guilty for delaying his future. This was something Qin Chuan did not expect, and it also made Qin Chuan feel more fond of them.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Brother Qi, Brother Wang, don't say that either. I like a job like this in the Second Office, it's exciting enough. As for university lecturer and writer, just think of it as my hobby, or rather

It’s just a way for me to make extra money.”

Qin Chuan changed the subject, "By the way, brothers, let's talk about the case of the Japanese spy Yoshikawa Yasuo we caught. How did the higher ups reward you two? Did you get promoted to military rank?"

Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali couldn't help but get excited when they mentioned the promotion.

Qi Lanfeng said with a smile, "Kuanzi, you are the lucky star of me and Lao Wang. This time we brothers really want to thank you. This time we not only kept our secret mission from being leaked, but also cracked the Japanese

During the espionage case, the radio station and the code book were seized, which made the director very happy. He even asked us for credit in person and even went to meet the chairman of the committee. After the chairman nodded and agreed, the Quanxu Office gave us an exception and promoted us to the rank.

”

Qin Chuan knew about the Quanxu Hall that Qi Lanfeng mentioned. This is a department in the Military Commission that is responsible for assessing the promotion of officers. As long as they are in the military, all officers at all levels from second lieutenant to general must go through the Quanxu Hall for promotion.

Assessment and approval, otherwise it will be invalid.

There are strict time limits for the promotion of officers. It takes at least one and a half years to be promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant, and three years from lieutenant to captain. In other words, one must have served the rank of lieutenant for three years before he can be promoted.

You can be promoted based on merit, and the time from captain to major takes four years.

It should be said that the original intention of establishing the Quanxu Office is good, that is, to avoid nepotism and arbitrarily promoting people with connections. However, this will inevitably block the promotion path of some outstanding young officers.

Qi Lanfeng said with a smile, "Kawazi, this time not only Lao Wang was promoted to captain, but you, too, were promoted to lieutenant, and you passed the second lieutenant hurdle directly. Thanks to you, brother, I also passed the rank of captain, making an exception.

Promoted to major."

This case even alarmed the chairman of the committee. Qin Chuan never expected, and what made him even more unexpected was that he would be promoted to lieutenant directly.

Qi Lanfeng put away his smile and said to Qin Chuan, "Kuanzi, the director personally told me that he wants me to tell you so that you can continue your efforts and make new contributions to the party and the country. He is very optimistic about you and hopes you will not disappoint him."

A lieutenant only surprised Qin Chuan, but he didn't feel very excited. However, Qi Lanfeng relayed the words of their second virgin, which had to make Qin Chuan a little excited. This shows that he, the newly promoted lieutenant,

Not only has he come into the director's sight, but he is even vaguely regarded as a direct member of the department. With this relationship, if he has merit in the future, his promotion will be just around the corner.

Qi Lanfeng took out two thousand French coins from his arms and handed it to Qin Chuan, "Chuanzi, we have made great contributions this time, so the office will reward Lao Wang and I with an additional one thousand French coins each, and you will be rewarded with two thousand

Legal currency, this is your share."

Qin Chuan didn't pay too much attention to the bonus for meritorious service, but fortunately, the legal currency here was equivalent to an ocean, and the purchasing power of two thousand oceans was still great. You know, an American Ford car at this time,

In China, it only costs about 1,000 oceans to buy.

Then, Qi Lanfeng got back to business and began to explain their mission to Qin Chuan, "Kuanzi, I can tell you now that we came to Shanghai this time to carry out a secret lurking mission under the command of the director himself. According to the director's estimation,

As well as the arrangements for Shangfeng, we will eventually have a war with the Japanese, and once the two sides fight, Shanghai will definitely bear the brunt and become the main battlefield for both sides. At that time, Shanghai is likely to fall into the enemy's hands in a short time. Our mission is

It played a huge role at that time."

"Now, I have registered a trading firm in the French Concession to do import and export trade as a cover. Lao Wang bought a small newspaper office near the "Life Herald" where you published the novel. Using the newspaper office as a cover, it can be justified.

They own a radio station locally, and then monitor the telegram communications between the Japanese Consulate in Hongkou, Shanghai, their military and the country."

"And."

A proud smile appeared on Qi Lanfeng's face again, "For our latent mission, I am temporarily responsible for the overall work as the leader of the intelligence team. Lao Wang is the leader of the telecommunications team. We also have an action team, and you are in the intelligence team.

In addition, our potential agents are all organized into teams of three to four people and have vertical single-line communication. Your team only consists of you and your classmates Li Mingzhe and Wang Xiaoyong. Originally, they all worked in the police station. Since you are not planning to go to the anti-smuggling team

, then arrange for Wang Xiaoyong to replace you there, and you can be your writer professor with peace of mind. You are the leader of this group, and at the same time, you are also the deputy leader of our intelligence group, assisting me in my work."

Qi Lanfeng said seriously again, "You may be wondering, our Second Branch has a big station in Shanghai, why don't we use the Second Branch's intelligence station in Shanghai, but send us to implement it? It's because our Second Branch Shanghai station has only been here for a few years.

Many of the personnel are in the open. Not only HD knows about them, but the Japanese intelligence organization in Shanghai also knows that once war breaks out between China and Japan, those people will go underground, but since they have shown their faces, they can be easily uncovered.

, do you understand what I mean."

In fact, Qin Chuan had already guessed this mission, and he admired Virgo for being able to prepare for a rainy day. Moreover, Qin Chuan believed that this latent mission did not require people from the Shanghai Station. The Shanghai Station was used by many people during the Japanese puppet period.

Even the webmaster was not spared.

Qin Chuan nodded and replied, "Brother Qi, I understand what you mean. Our main task now is to lurk and wait until the war begins before we can play our role."
