Chapter 66: Promoted to Officer
Yan Ming handed over the closing report with both hands.
"Section Chief, our captain gave us the order before you came here. You should read it first and then give it to our station chief."
The case closing report belongs to the Tianjin Station and is normally submitted by Wu Shaoshu. However, Xu Zhanjie is the case supervisor and the teacher Xu Qingyun, so there is nothing wrong with giving it to him first.
"Okay, you guys wait a moment."
Xu Zhanjie smiled and nodded. The closing report was very thick, starting from the initial discovery of the footprints to the final arrest of everyone, the detailed process and everyone's performance.
There was also an unexpected surprise in the process: five Manchurian railway agents were caught.
Eleven spies and nine traitors were arrested in this case, totaling 20 people.
Family members of the traitors are not included. After the interrogation, those who are informed will be treated as accomplices, and those who are not will be released in the future.
Even if these people can get out, the future will not be as good as before.
The breadwinners were arrested and their homes were ransacked. After they were released, they were homeless and had no choice but to seek refuge with relatives and friends or remarry.
Xu Zhanjie knew everything about the case, but he still watched it carefully. Xu Qingyun was very talented in writing, with beautiful handwriting and interesting writing. He was mentioned as a teacher from time to time, which made him happy and comfortable.
"It's well written. Send it to your webmaster."
After reading it, Xu Zhanjie closed the report and handed it to Yan Ming.
"Section Chief, you left in a hurry last time, and our captain was busy with the case and didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. This time, you asked me to bring it here."
Yan Ming took the report with a smile, put the box he brought on the table, and pulled Zuo Jinfang away.
Xu Zhanjie was a little curious as to what gift Xu Qingyun specially brought.
Opening the box, there was a layer of red cloth inside. After opening it, I immediately saw a golden cutie.
Xu Zhanjie's eyes narrowed instantly, it turned out to be this gift.
He really likes it, Xu Qingyun is interested.
After counting, thirty gold bars were more than what Wu Shaoshu had given him. Including Wu Shaoshu's trip to Tianjin, he had received a full forty gold bars in terms of money.
Humming a little tune, Xu Zhanjie collected the gold bars and put them away.
He understood that this was the harvest after the last house raid. Xu Qingyun was both capable and discerning, and sent someone to Nanjing specifically, which proved that this student was not in vain.
Yan Ming only brought thirty gold bars, Wu Shaoshu's share, and Xu Qingyun would personally deliver them to him when he returned to Tianjin.
Xu Zhanjie is not in Tianjin, and Wu Shaoshu is his thigh. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Xu Qingyun understands the importance of holding on to this thigh.
The director of the Military Intelligence Department was sitting at the table, carefully looking through Xu Qingyun's case report.
This was the second time he read the closing report written by Xu Qingyun, but unfortunately the first one was from the police station.
This time it was entirely their case.
The closing report was very important. He wanted to revise it, remove some trivial things, and then take it to report to the old man face to face.
Xu Zhanjie and Wu Shaoshu were sitting on the sofa nearby, neither of them speaking.
"The writing is very good, Zhanjie, Shao Shu, you have achieved merit this time, what do you want?"
Half an hour later, Virgo finished reading all the content and raised his head to ask the two of them.
"Virgo, I don't want anything from my humble position."
Xu Zhanjie immediately stood up and replied, he is already the intelligence section chief and has the rank of colonel, what more can he want?
"It's the same as a humble position." Wu Shaoshu went on to say that he was similar to Xu Zhanjie. What he wanted was for Virgo to remember him in his mind so as to secure his position.
"Let me record the merits for you first." Virgo nodded slightly. The two of them were of high rank, and even he was only a colonel. There was really no reward to give, at most a bonus.
Record their merits first and reward them when there is an opportunity in the future.
"Virgin, how do you think the investigators should be rewarded this time?"
Wu Shaoshu took the initiative to ask. This was the result of his discussion with Xu Zhanjie. The case belonged to the Tianjin Station. When it came time to reward based on merit, he would definitely ask for as much as he could.
Virgo understood their little thoughts and shook his head with a smile: "If you have any ideas, just say it. Don't worry, I can agree to it even if it's not too much."
The case is so beautifully done, and it's not a request that he can't do, he will really agree to it.
"Virgin, Xu Qingyun is the first meritorious officer. He doesn't have a military rank yet. Do you think you can make him an officer first?"
Xu Zhanjie first said that the Military Intelligence Department is a military unit and everyone has a military rank.
For example, in the Tianjin station intelligence team, the ordinary team members are generally non-commissioned officers and there are very few soldiers.
But regardless of whether they are non-commissioned officers or soldiers, they are all head soldiers, not real officers. Real officers must start from lieutenants.
The Virgo nodded slightly: "No problem, but it's a pity that he didn't graduate from the military academy. Let's give him a second lieutenant first this time, and then we will find a way to help him get promoted to a colonel."
"Thank you, Virgo."
Xu Zhanjie was overjoyed and took the initiative to express his thanks. Listening to the meaning of his words, Lieutenant Officer was obviously not Xu Qingyun's position, and he would definitely be promoted to School Officer in the future.
In fact, even if he was a lieutenant, it would not be so easy to be promoted if Xu Qingyun hadn't performed so well this time and made enough contributions.
Virgo has a saying that makes it very clear: Xu Qingyun is not a graduate of a military academy, so he will naturally suffer.
Graduates from military academies, especially important military academies, are basically officers.
Allowing Xu Qingyun to obtain the rank of second lieutenant this time is equivalent to helping him avoid the path of military school study. Otherwise, if he is promoted step by step like soldiers and non-commissioned officers, he will not be promoted to lieutenant in a few years. After a few years of time delay, It may even affect a lifetime.
If you are an ordinary person, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. Even if you stay in the ranks of non-commissioned officers all your life, you will still be a soldier until you die.
The gap between a non-commissioned officer and a lieutenant is not as big as that between a colonel and a general, but the situation is similar. If you take this step, you will have a bright future, and if you can't stand still, you can't stand still.
Xu Qingyun had just joined the Military Intelligence Department. He had no military school qualifications and was directly promoted to second lieutenant, which was a great reward.
"Since they want to be promoted, give them more promotion points. Shao Shu, you will give them a promotion report based on their merit this time."
Virgo ordered, and Wu Shaoshu immediately accepted the order. It seemed that Virgo planned to promote more people. This was a good thing, as all those promoted were his men.
Especially Xie Yongshan, who also contributed a lot this time.
Xie Yongshan's military rank is captain, which is a bit low. This time, I just happened to help him file a promotion report and help him get promoted to major and cross this hurdle.
Among other people involved, the corporal proposed to the sergeant, the sergeant promoted the staff sergeant, and the staff sergeant looked to see if there was a chance to be promoted to lieutenant. As long as there was a chance to be promoted, all of them would be promoted, even if they were additional officers.
Xu Zhanjie and Wu Shaoshu left the office, and the director began to sort out Xu Qingyun's closing report.
The spies and traitors caught in the report are the key, and the process is secondary.
But the ability to see footprints must be retained, especially the final capture of Toshiki Kawada, which must be clearly written. This is a very exciting battle that competes with wisdom and patience.
He understands what the Chairman likes.
At noon, he re-polished the closing report and turned it into a document for him to report to the chairman of the committee.
