Chapter 321 Identity Problem Solved
Kitahara Ransuke nodded and said, "Lin-san, no matter what, I still have to thank you. If you hadn't come to the Military Police Headquarters, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, let alone now I can strive for the position of Commander-in-Chief."
Kitahara Ransuke was telling the truth. After Lin Ze arrived at the Military Police Headquarters, he had "achieved many remarkable feats". Regardless of how many traps these feats had dug for the Japanese, they did benefit people like Colonel Matsuzaki and Kitahara Ransuke.
Lin Ze quickly tried to be modest for a while, then changed the subject and asked, "Since Colonel Matsuzaki has become the Minister of Special Affairs, why did he..."
What I mean is that this old guy Matsuzaki is not a decent person. He has successfully risen to the top, so why doesn't he give you a hand?
In fact, Lin Ze could guess that no matter how unpolished this guy Matsuzaki Naoto was, he couldn't be so bad. It was probably Isogai Mukarataka who secretly made some effort behind the scenes and forcibly picked the peach.
But no matter how much you guess, you still have to ask. The best way to comfort someone is not to reason with him, but to curse with him. This can not only help him vent, but also bring you closer to him.
Kitahara must have cursed others himself, but the feeling of cursing secretly and cursing in front of others is different.
Why do some people look honest but start to curse this and that after drinking? In fact, they just want to get a little pleasure from the alcohol.
Sure enough, after Lin Ze said this, Kitahara Ransuke first looked up at the doors and windows, then lit a cigarette, held it in his hand, and whispered: "This matter is not the fault of Colonel Matsuzaki, it's all the fault of that bastard Isogai Xianglong!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, motioning Lin Ze to stop standing and come over and sit down.
Lin Ze sat down opposite his desk and lit a cigarette. The two of them leaned over and chatted like they did when they were in school.
"Mr. Lin, it is reasonable for Colonel Matsuzaki to recommend me as the successor. In fact, he did so. A few days ago, he told me that although General Terauchi has not yet expressed his opinion, he still recognizes my work very much!"
"Then why did you change your mind again?"
Kitahara Ransuke got angry when he said this, and slammed the table, "It's still that Isogai Mukarataka. He was promoted to colonel in the Tianjin Special Service Agency. At this level, it's not appropriate for him to be the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Special Service Agency. But with his qualifications, he can't directly go down to be the commander of the wing, so he moved up and down and came to our place for a transition."
Except for the commander-in-chief of the secret service agency in Peiping who had the rank of colonel, the commander-in-chief in other places was generally a lieutenant colonel. Even in some small cities that only had a gendarmerie but no gendarmerie headquarters, there were still majors as captains.
Kitahara Ransuke cursed for a while, saying things like "a parasite" and "a villain who relied on connections to get to the top". After he finished cursing, he felt much better.
He took out a document from the drawer and said, "I called you here today for one more thing, Lin-san. You are now a formal officer of the Military Police Headquarters."
Lin Ze took the document and looked at it, a little surprised.
"Kitahara-kun, I haven't become a citizen yet?"
Kitahara Ransuke nodded, "That's right, but the military has updated the relevant regulations. Now you can serve as an officer even if you don't become a citizen. It was originally done in Manchuria. They absorbed a lot of White Russians. These people have fought in wars before and are relatively experienced. It would be a pity to use them as soldiers, so they opened this loophole to allow them to serve as officers. Colonel Matsuzaki is now the Minister of Special Services, and he has secured a spot for you, so you are now a regular lieutenant. Here, the documents and relevant certificates are all here, Lin-san, congratulations."
Wow, that’s really elegant!
"Kitahara-kun, this is all thanks to you. What about the police station?"
Kitahara Ransuke waved his hand and said, "You can continue to work at the police station as usual."
If Kitahara Ransuke came to power, he would definitely not let Lin Ze be the director, but would let him work full-time in the Military Police Headquarters. Now that Isogai Mukitaka is coming, it is still necessary to let Lin Ze retain the status of director, so that there will be more room for maneuver.
To put it bluntly, he has other tasks to do, so when Isogai Xianglong assigns him any task, he will have more excuses to shirk it.
Kitahara Ransuke doesn't want a talent like Lin Ze to be used by Isotani Mukarataka.
For Lin Ze, this is the best arrangement!
That night, Saito, Gao Shengping and others who got the news held a banquet to congratulate Lin Ze.
Lin Ze highly suspected that these two guys were just looking for an excuse to drink.
At the dinner table, Gao Shengping raised his glass frequently, "Shengmin, you made a good move! Come on, brother, I wish you continued promotion!"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Director, I am still the director of the Third Outer District and your soldier."
Gao Shengping waved his hand, "Don't say such things in the future. It's not good for outsiders to hear. You are now a lieutenant in the Military Police Headquarters. You must be decent and polite when dealing with people. The more rude you are, the more afraid they will be of you."
Lao Gao was genuinely happy. He had finally realized that he might be the one relying on Lin Ze in the future. He was already old, and could not compare with Lin Ze in terms of mental or physical strength. Since he had such a long-term friendship with Lin Ze, he would just maintain it well. As long as brother Lin Ze climbed higher and higher, he would also be able to benefit from it.
This is like a student with average grades. He may be jealous of those classmates who scored ten or eight points higher than himself, but he will never be jealous of the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
After drinking for a long time, Lao Gao asked Saito, "What's the trick of this Isogai Munetaka?"
Ever since Saito was scolded by Colonel Matsuzaki, his source of income from extortion and protection fees has been almost cut off. Now he focuses on doing business and has an understanding of all kinds of people.
"Gao-san, Lin-san, don't worry. Colonel Isogai is the brother of the Isogai division commander. He is different from us. He is here as a transitional person and is unlikely to touch the previous people. Moreover, his ability is very average. If he wants to gain a foothold in Peking, he has to rely on people like us. Otherwise, no case can be solved. Even if he has someone above him, it is unacceptable."
Gao Shengping nodded, "Then I feel relieved. There is one more thing, our black market..."
Saito shook his head. "He can't get involved in this matter. I heard from friends in Tianjin that our Colonel Isogai is doing very well in smuggling and is still holding on to that business. He may not be interested in the black market, and even if he is, he can't take it. This is Colonel Matsuzaki's business. Again, Colonel Matsuzaki is our superior. Even if he goes to the front army's special forces department, he is still our superior. I'm afraid even Isogai Mukarataka agrees with this."
