Chapter 378, comics
In the Military Senate, the emphasis is on the word "senator".
If others listen to you, it is consultation. If I don''t listen to you, that''s bullshit.
Will the committee listen? hehe.
So, it is simply a decoration.
Since it is just a decoration, there is no real work to do.
You don’t have to go to work on time.
It doesn’t matter whether you go or not.
Come whenever you want.
Leave whenever you want.
But the security is still very tight.
There are still a lot of various military secrets stored in it.
Basically, a copy of all combat plans will be sent to the Military Senate for archiving. Show it to Dean Tang.
You asked someone else to be the dean, but in the end you didn’t even show them the military plan. That seemed too much.
“Sir, please show me your ID.”
"Give!"
Zhang Yong took out his certificate.
The sentry quickly let him go.
A captain officer came out and took the initiative to lead them in. At the same time, give a brief introduction.
Zhang Yong responded politely while silently monitoring the surroundings.
No red dots were found. Explain that there are no Japanese.
Such high-level institutions generally do not have spies. Because they can''t sneak in.
Those who can get close to this place are veterans who have served for many years. It requires some qualifications. This is exactly what Japanese spies lack. They dare not take risks on the battlefield.
??Suppose ten spies were sent out to fight on the battlefield, and all of them would be killed. Wouldn''t that be a waste of time?
?Even the most well-trained spies cannot guarantee that they will survive in a chaotic battlefield. Bullets don''t have eyes, so it doesn''t matter whether they are spies or not.
Hence, what Japanese spies do must be to bribe traitors.
The core of the problem now is who is in contact with the Japanese spies. Then he quietly defected to the Japanese spy.
Logically speaking, Qingshui Yamen like the Military Senate should not have too much contact with the outside world! Unless the spy is eyeing someone and then deliberately seduces him.
“Ling ring ring…”
“Ling ring ring…”
Suddenly, the sound of a tram was heard in the distance.
Zhang Yong turned around subconsciously. I saw a tram passing nearby. Across the street.
Vaguely, the tram feels familiar?
strangeness…
Think hard.
“Captain, what’s wrong with you?” Luo Yiming asked flatteringly.
“Don’t talk.” Zhang Yong gestured.
He was trying to remember why this tram looked familiar.
As a result, after a moment, he actually remembered.
He thought of the tram he met on the way when Nightingale took him to find Zhang Xiaolin’s treasure.
At that time, there was a spy on the tram. Still a conductor.
Yes, that’s it. That''s the train.
There are no spies on the tram passing by now. Maybe the same route. Different trams.
An idea flashed in my mind.
??Is there any connection between the conductor’s spy and the traitor in the Military Senate?
“Yi Ming!”
"arrive!"
“Go immediately and investigate all the stops this tram passes. Draw a picture for me.”
"yes!"
“Also, secretly invite people from the tram company.”
"yes!"
Luo Yiming immediately agreed and went.
?Zhang Yong was about to speak when he suddenly saw a car arriving.
It was actually a brand new Stypunk sedan. But there is no license plate. There are no markings either.
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
who?
Is it Dean Tang?
??Dean Tang didn’t travel without a guard?
Finally I realized that I was thinking too much.
The person who got off the car was Tang Shengming.
?Oh, someone informed him, so he came to greet him personally.
“Mr. Tang!”
“Young dragon!”
“I don’t dare. Just call me Zhang Yong.”
“Tell Shaolong to be kind. I didn’t expect you to come so early. The riverside was very lively last night, and I thought you might have to rest in the past two days.”
“Last night was just a matter of luck. I wasn’t very tired. I didn’t even go into the water.”
"I told you that day that it was done. Unexpectedly, you made great achievements yesterday. I guess Madam may arrange more work for you."
"Why?"
“He who is able should work harder!”
"Well…"
?Zhang Yong thought to himself that the Third Intelligence Office didn’t even have the funds.
The ability to work harder means that the cows must work more, but the cows are not allowed to eat grass, so do they still have to work overtime?
“Did you find anything?”
“Not yet.”
“Then are there any doubts? Can you tell me? Let me increase my knowledge.”
“I suspect that the tram passing by outside...”
Zhang Yong told him honestly.
Since the other party treats each other sincerely, he does not hide it either.
For the time being, he did doubt the tram. Because there were Japanese spies on that tram.
“What’s the reason?”
“I discovered before that there was a conductor on this tram who was Japanese.”
"real?"
?Tang Shengming suddenly became interested.
He looked up at the door. Across the street is the tram line.
?Every day, many people in the Military Senate take this tram to and from get off work. Including many colonel officers. Even the Major General Councilor.
Don’t think that every officer has a car. In fact, the vast majority of officers do not own cars.
Transferring to the Military Senate is equivalent to sitting on the bench. No real power. Without real power, there will naturally be no other income.
How is it possible to buy and maintain a car based solely on a meager salary?
Some officers may not even be able to support their families. It''s really not an exaggeration. That''s the truth.
??If your family has no property, or you don’t know how to be flexible, your salary is really not enough to live on. Therefore, those with power are desperately corrupt.
"I have sent people to investigate. The specific situation depends on the results of the investigation."
“Okay. Let’s go in and talk.”
"good!"
Zhang Yong followed Tang Shengming into the office building.
The Office Building of the Military Senate is quite new. It was completed less than three years ago.
The Military Senate was established in 1929. It doesn''t take long either. It was on Shuiyin Road before, and it was too shabby. Later, special funds were allocated to build a new building.
?Tang Shengming’s brother also took office at that time.
He was chosen because he no longer had real power. There is no way to control the Hunan Army. But the qualifications are very old. Quite prestigious.
Having qualifications but no real power, he is really the perfect candidate for President of the Military Senate!
As a result, the dean lasted three years.
“That’s the only one in the Military Senate that needs to be on duty 24 hours a day.”
“Where?”
“Archives building. Stores various military documents.”
"oh…"
Zhang Yong nodded.
He believed what Tang Shengming said. In fact it is.
In other places, even if no one is guarding them, no spies are willing to visit. Because it doesn''t have what they need.
There is only this archives building. A large number of military documents are stored. Among them, there are many secret battle plans. This is what a spy needs. The traitor they bribed was naturally for the military secrets inside.
"I have prepared a list of all the people who can enter the archives building." "Don''t you know how to screen them yourself?"
“I didn’t identify him. I don’t think anyone is suspicious.”
“Then let me take a look!”
Zhang Yong actually doesn’t have confidence in himself either.
?He won’t be able to identify just by looking at the information. The traitor was not shown.
But it is certain that the rank of this traitor should be between the three levels of lieutenant colonel, colonel, and major general.
The level is too low and many secrets are not accessible.
The level is too high and it is not easy to bribe. Also easily exposed. Easily narrowed down by investigation.
Lieutenant colonel and colonel are the best. There are many people, but they are inconspicuous.
In fact, there were thirty colonel officers circled by Tang Shengming. There are fifty lieutenant colonel officers.
Even there are nine counselors with the rank of major general and above.
Good guy, this Military Senate is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! He has no real power, but his military rank is very rich.
This is also one of Chiang Kai-shek''s ways of dealing with rival generals.
Deprive the other party of military power, then promote and rank you, and then arrange you to the Military Senate.
Give you a promotion. But please sit on the bench. Tried and true.
In just a few years, the Military Senate was already overcrowded with officers. When the Anti-Japanese War begins, it will be even more exaggerated. It can almost be said that it has become a nursing home for military officers.
It can be said without politeness that simply by releasing the officers of the Military Senate, millions of troops can be commanded.
Among them, there were nearly a hundred nominal lieutenant generals and counselors at their peak. This shows the extent to which military ranks are rampant.
The only thing that depreciates faster than military rank is probably French currency.
Looking at the personal information that is as thick as a book, Zhang Yong’s head is as big as ten. No clue at all.
In the end, I could only pretend to do it. Then close.
Let''s wait for the tram.
"Come!"
"sit!"
?Tang Shengming invited Zhang Yong into his office.
He also held a position in the Senate War. He still carries the title of Major General Counselor.
Hehe, you are young, Major General. It is definitely a characteristic of this era.
??As long as your family has some background, you will be embarrassed to go out and say hello to people unless you have the title of major general.
“Huh?”
Zhang Yong suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent.
It turned out that he actually saw a stack of comic newspapers in Tang Shengming''s office.
At first, I thought I had seen it wrong. Later I found out that it was indeed true.
Although it is in the form of a newspaper. But all of them are comics. However, the content of the comic was something he had never seen before. Not the familiar Superman, Batman or the like.
Stunned.
??Tang Shengming actually liked this.
He actually brought this back from the United States! It seems that he is quite obsessed!
“What? You know this too?”
“I had contact with some Americans when I was on the beach in Shanghai.”
"I see."
“I feel that this industry may have great development prospects in the future.”
"Yeah?"
“Many Americans don’t like reading large books. They like simple and easy-to-understand books. It may spread quickly within a few years.”
Zhang Yong also did not hide his views.
In fact, by the time of World War II, comic books would have developed by leaps and bounds.
Many American soldiers carry comic books with them. Used to relieve boredom. Use it to comfort yourself. This thing is the same as Coca-Cola. Become an indispensable presence.
If you have money…
right. Zhang Yong suddenly found a new opportunity to make a fortune.
He cannot get involved in other industries. But the comics industry is still relatively barren now. He has a complete monopoly!
??Neither Marvel nor DC has appeared yet.
There are various superheroes, none of which have yet to take shape. It seems that the earliest Superman appeared before World War II?
At the moment, those superheroes haven’t had a chance to show up yet.
But he can advance.
Others are copying books when they travel through time. He can copy comics.
Just right, this industry requires low costs. It doesn’t require such high technical content.
??He also has so many superhero images in his mind.
??Whether it’s Marvel or DC, you can copy it.
ah…
It’s simply a gold mine!
When the comics industry matures in the future, we can enter into movies and television...
never mind…
over thinking.
Let’s do some small moves now.
“Oh? Are you so optimistic about its development?” Tang Shengming seemed very interested.
"Actually, I have a lot of ideas..." Zhang Yong did not hide it, "I have thought about drawing a Superman before. Draw a Flash. Draw a Spider-Man?"
“Superman?”
“Yes. Superman. Has very powerful power. Can destroy all evil.”
“The Flash?”
"It''s very fast. As fast as lightning. It destroys the enemy before they can react."
“What about Spider-Man?”
“As the name suggests, of course he has the special skills of a spider. He will mutate. He can shoot very tough spider silk, which can help him jump freely in the middle of the city..."
“Wait, wait…”
?Tang Shengming suddenly brought paper and pen. Then I started recording in a hurry.
He thinks this is a very good idea. If anyone can follow this idea and draw it. The sales of comic newspapers will definitely increase dramatically.
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
"you…"
“I have invested in this newspaper.”
"ah?"
“I own 78% of the shares. Now, I have decided to transfer 25% of the shares to you. Just give me some ideas.”
"good!"
Zhang Yong did not hesitate.
He does have a lot of ideas. About comics. Marvel and DC are at your fingertips.
Copying books is too difficult. He doesn''t have that kind of writing style.
?It took him a year to finish reading "Gone with the Wind".
Climb the technology tree? Sorry, he used to study liberal arts. Market sales. Tiger Balm Professional. In fact, it is of no use.
?After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way to do it.
It just so happens that Tang Shengming has money and connections, so we can cooperate well.
He is very satisfied with 25% of the shares.
Immediately sat down, took a sip of tea, and then talked in detail with Tang Sheng.
??Tang Shengming seemed to have seen a new world.
This means more than half an hour. Luo Yiming hasn''t come back yet.
It’s not in a hurry anyway. Then go on.
Two hours later, Luo Yiming finally came back.
At the same time, a red dot entered the map range. It just so happened that he was the conductor of that tram.
Then…
Zhang Yong discovered that he had made a mistake.
Totally confused!
Before, Nightingale was in Shanghai! But this is Jinling!
Oops…
Then it felt incredible.
Why is there an almost identical tram in Jinling? It caused his memory to become disordered.
?Furthermore, there is actually a spy conductor on the tram?
Could it be copied?
Or is it specially arranged this way?
