Espionage: I can read memory information

Chapter 15 Commendation and Celebration

The Black Crow Group's affairs are nearing completion, and Shen Yi should have had some free time these past two days, but that's not the case at all.

These past two days, he has been visiting Shen Jiuling's friends in Jinling one by one, carrying gifts, which has exhausted him.

The people he visited were either high-ranking government officials or military regimental commanders, but fortunately, Shen Yi had lived two lives and could still manage to deal with them.

Moreover, it's just a regular visit, just to get acquainted and build up connections; nothing else is discussed.

Otherwise, some people might kick him out if they knew Shen Yi's identity as a spy, since the Special Service has the authority to monitor departments of the Nationalist government.

Just like the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, only Shen Jiuling and Song Yu knew that Shen Yi was working in the Special Service Department.

At this moment, Shen Yi was tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror in his office. He had brought his military uniform with him today.

Because his commendation order is about to be issued today.

The operation uncovered a Japanese spy group, captured more than a dozen undercover agents, and seized a radio and a codebook. This was the biggest achievement the Special Service had made in recent times.

Shen Yi's role in this is crucial.

It's fair to say that without Shen Yi, this operation would not have been completed so smoothly.

Therefore, a commendation order is definitely in order.

"Knock knock".

"Come in."

As he spoke, Shen Yi put on his officer's cap.

"Wow! Brother Shen, you look absolutely dashing!"

Lin Jiang's hearty laughter came from the doorway.

Lin Jiang has been riding high these past two days, walking with a swagger.

It was rare for the Action Section to suppress the Intelligence Section, so how could he not be happy?

Zhao Lijun also praised him highly.

"Brother Lin, you look handsome even in military uniform," Shen Yi said with a smile.

"Haha, of course!" Lin Jiang laughed. "Let's go, it should be starting soon."

Shen Yi nodded and followed Lin Jiang out of the office.

. . . . . .

"It has been found that Shen Yi has been loyal and diligent since joining the army, working tirelessly day and night, and has been at the forefront of the operation to capture Japanese spies."

"After careful evaluation by this association, we hereby commend him in recognition of his merits. He is awarded the Sixth Class Yunhui Medal and a reward of one thousand yuan as encouragement!"

"Zichalinjiang..."

……

Besides Shen Yi, Lin Jiang and others from the Action Section also received commendations, but only Shen Yi and Lin Jiang were awarded the Yunhui Medal, with Lin Jiang receiving the sixth-class medal.

The rest of the people only received some bonuses.

The intelligence officers also received varying degrees of commendation, but they didn't look particularly happy.

Because the commendation received by the intelligence section this time was far less than that received by the action section.

Moreover, Shen Yi from the Action Section can be considered the main character of this commendation.

Dai Chunfeng showered him with praise.

However, no one was promoted in rank during this operation.

Shen Yi actually had a chance to be promoted, but he had only been in the army for three or four days.

Even with Dai Chunfeng's efforts, he only managed to obtain this sixth-class Yunhui Medal.

Military rank promotion depends not only on merits but also on seniority, unless there are exceptionally outstanding achievements.

Medals are different. Since the outbreak of war, the conditions for awarding medals have been relaxed considerably.

Moreover, the person who deserves the most credit for this operation is not one of the people present, but the undercover agent who infiltrated the Special Higher Police.

Without him, the Special Service would never have known that Takehiko Ito had made contact on the train.

However, due to his special status, no information about him was mentioned in this award.

At this moment, Shen Yi and the others had already received the commendation order.

Dai Chunfeng looked at everyone, his face also full of smiles.

"Well done! You didn't let me down."

"I hope you will continue your efforts, clear obstacles for the Party and the country, and dedicate yourselves wholeheartedly to the cause of the Party and the country!"

"yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

. . . . . .

Director's Office.

"Wen Yuan, I didn't expect you to make such a great contribution so soon after arriving. You've given me a wonderful surprise!"

Dai Chunfeng patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and smiled.

"Uncle, you flatter me. It's all thanks to your excellent leadership," Shen Yi said.

"Haha, so humble and composed, Brother Shen has truly raised a fine son," Dai Chunfeng laughed.

He was even a little envious of Shen Jiuling.

The two chatted for a while longer before Shen Yi left the director's office.

He then approached Lin Jiang and said he wanted to hold a celebratory banquet that night and also get to know the members of the action team.

. . . . . .

That night, at the Lao Wan Quan Restaurant on Zhonghua Road.

This restaurant was established in the 20th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign and reached its peak in 1927 after the Nationalist government established its capital in Nanjing.

It has now become a well-known restaurant in Nanjing, frequently hosting government officials and wealthy businessmen, with exceptionally high prices.

Tonight, Shen Yi has hosted a banquet here with three tables to entertain his colleagues from Operation Team One, most of whom have contributed significantly to this operation.

Lin Jiang swallowed hard as he watched the delicious dishes being served on the table.

Having lived in Jinling for so many years, he certainly knew this restaurant, but he had always been reluctant to eat there because of the expense.

Wouldn't it be better to use that money to have some fun? What difference does it make what you eat?

The three tables that Shen Yi set up today must have cost nearly two hundred yuan.

He thought to himself that Shen Yi was indeed a rich young man from Shanghai, and he really didn't care about spending money.

"Brother Shen, let me toast you." Lin Jiang raised his glass to Shen Yi and said.

"If you hadn't shot that guy in the thigh, I probably wouldn't be here drinking with you."

"Brother Lin, let's not talk like that. I consider you my own brother, and I respect you!" Shen Yi said.

"Haha, great!"

Lin Jiang laughed loudly and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Shen Yi followed suit and downed a drink as well.

Shen Yi shone brightly in this operation, and Dai Chunfeng also showed his high regard for Shen Yi.

Although the word "actor" was not removed, everyone in the action team knew that Shen Yi was definitely going to become the deputy team leader.

So his subordinates outwardly showed him great respect, but what they did behind his back was anyone's guess.

Qi Yunshan, Su Mao, and Wu Fuchun also came over to toast Lin Jiang and Shen Yi.

Of the three, Qi Yunshan and Shen Yi had a relatively good relationship; the two would even smoke together when they had nothing else to do these past few days.

Su Mao was somewhat convinced of Shen Yi's abilities after this incident, and since Shen Yi was treating everyone, he was bound to greet him with a smile.

Wu Fuchun's flattery became even louder, almost praising Shen Yi to the skies.

Subsequently, the deputy captains of the other teams came over to offer toasts, and Shen Yi became somewhat familiar with the higher-ups of the three action teams.

At this moment, Xia Guang was sitting at another table, looking in Shen Yi's direction with some hesitation. He was wondering whether he should also go and offer a toast.

However, the people drinking with Shen Yi were all at the level of captains and vice-captains, so it would be too abrupt for a lowly team member like him to offer a toast.

Although Shen Yi had drunk quite a bit, he still felt as if someone was watching him.

So he turned his head and saw Xia Guang turn his head away.

Shen Yi then remembered Xia Guang.

Xia Guang was not only decisive in his actions, but also had excellent observation skills; he was the one who discovered that assistant.

Shen Yi felt a growing appreciation for talent.

In this era, going it alone is far from enough.

So he sat up, picked up his wine glass, and walked towards Xia Guang.

"Xia Guang, you did a great job in this operation. Come on, let's have a drink," Shen Yi said.

Upon seeing this, Xia Guang quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Thank you for your praise, Deputy Team Leader. I respect you."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Shen Yi took a small sip of his drink, then pulled Xia Guang to his table and started eating.

Meanwhile, everyone at the table where Xia Guang had been sitting looked at him with envy.
