Chapter 177 Mizutani Akihiro commits suicide
He then added, "The entire equipment department will be merged into the action team, and the original members will be dispersed and assigned to various action squads for unified allocation and management. No more cliques will be allowed."
Yan Shuo didn't scold Wei Jingchen, the training group leader, any further. He simply instructed, "Let Wei Jingchen lead the team and integrate it into the rescue team. Rename the rescue team the Fourth Action Team, with Chu Yue still as the captain. Appoint Wei Jingchen as the deputy captain."
As for Wang Guan, the equipment team leader, Yan Shuo said coldly, "Let Wang Guan lead the team and merge it into the Third Action Team. Shen Jinghan's four equipment operators will also be incorporated. Without Shen Jinghan, Wang Guan shouldn't try to put on airs anymore. He'll just be the deputy captain of the Third Squad. Take it or leave it; if you don't want to, get out!"
He paused, then added viciously, "No matter how much money he bribed Shen Jinghan or how many connections he cultivated, he can try anything, or he'll die. In my eyes, only ability matters, not favors!"
Thinking of the current state of equipment at the Shanghai station, Yan Shuo couldn't help but curse again: "What kind of crappy positions are these? What good are they! An equipment team? I've asked a few action team leaders, and the equipment in our Shanghai station's action teams is ridiculously bad. The only decent thing is the pistols, all Brownings, but even the bullets are in a damn tight spot. And yet, they still keep so many officers around, a bunch of parasites!"
Then, he specifically instructed: "Xiao Mi, tell Yuan Guanting that from now on, when we go on missions, put Wang Guan at the front of the team. Doesn't he love being an officer and want to make a name for himself? I'll give him more opportunities. If he dies, so be it. If he survives, we'll put him in the same position again. If he dares to disobey orders, shoot him on the spot. Don't waste your breath on him!"
"Yes, stationmaster, I'll go deliver the message right away!" Xiaomi replied quickly.
After dealing with equipment-related matters, Yan Shuo turned his attention to the General Affairs Department: "The General Affairs Department's funding group and supplies group are all being merged into the First Action Team. Everyone is being assigned to the front lines. Take it or leave it; if you don't want to work, get out. Don't just coast along in the General Affairs Department!"
"The two deputy directors of the General Affairs Department, Kang Ruiqi and Tian Shensi, have also been transferred to the Second Action Team to carry out missions on the front line. They have been relieved of their idle positions. They can no longer be comfortable as absentee managers. If they want to do something or not, there are plenty of people who would like to replace them."
Thinking of the chaos in the General Affairs Department, Yan Shuo couldn't help but curse again: "Damn it, what supplies are even worth considering at the Shanghai station? Funds and supplies are a mess, and all the money has been embezzled by these parasites!"
Yan Shuo showed no mercy to Bi Guanqi, the head of the General Affairs Department: "Bi Guanqi, the head of the General Affairs Department, is definitely not clean either. Arrange for Ding Musheng to arrest and interrogate him, thoroughly investigate all the financial and material transactions he handled, and execute him immediately after the interrogation, as a warning to others!"
"And Kang Ruiqi, Tian Shensi, Zhou Jingyuan, and Song Jingchen are all included in the first action team's initial lineup. Every mission will have them leading the charge, to temper their temperament. Take it or leave it; if they don't want to, treat them as deserters!"
However, Yan Shuo was not overly critical. He was also generous in promoting capable people: "Feng Jinsheng, the leader of the base management team, and Du Beichen, the leader of the document team, were promoted one level to captain and placed directly under the leadership of Lin Manqiu, a member of the Bluebird team. Lin Manqiu was also promoted one level to major and was responsible for coordinating matters related to the base and documents. No mistakes were allowed."
"Dong Xiuqi, the support team member, led the entire support team into the Lone Wolf team, taking unified responsibility for logistical support and operational support; the general affairs and liaison team was also merged into the Lone Wolf team to integrate communication channels and avoid information gaps."
Yan Shuo had a high opinion of the Newcomer Training Department, after all, it hadn't made a single mistake in the past few years, steadily supplying reserve forces for the Shanghai station: "The Newcomer Training Department will be completely integrated into Wu Meng's Black Blade Group, under unified management, and will continue to be responsible for the follow-up training and allocation of newcomers."
He then issued a series of promotion orders, his tone softening slightly: "Liang Yan, head of the Newcomer Training Department, is promoted from major to lieutenant colonel; deputy heads Huo Tingshan and Fang Yi are promoted from captain to major; Zhang Yue, head of the Ideological Education Group, Jiang He, head of the Skills Training Group, and Gu Jingran, head of the Assessment Group, are promoted from lieutenant to captain; and the newcomer liaisons Hou Tingxue, Pan Yan, Jiang Shuhua, Duan Zhuo, Chang You, and Li Du are all promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant."
Yan Shuo's tone was tinged with both emotion and vigilance: "Damn it, this new recruit training department has been around for years and they've never changed their ranks. It's no wonder there's something fishy going on! This promotion is both a reward for their good behavior and competence over the past few years and a warning to them. If they work hard, they'll get their share of the benefits. If they try anything funny, we'll show them no mercy."
Finally, Yan Shuo finalized the last adjustment: "Give the Second Action Team 20 new members, plus Zhao Jin's original 11 members, for a total of 40 people. This way, the Second Action Team can truly stand firm and take on front-line missions, and will no longer be a hindrance!"
After giving all the orders, Yan Shuo leaned back in his chair, his face still cold and stern, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
After this major purge and reorganization, the corrupt officials, slackers, and holdouts at Shanghai Station were either eliminated or transferred, capable people were promoted, and the departmental structure was streamlined. From now on, Shanghai Station can truly be under his control, efficiently execute various tasks, and no longer cause those messy mishaps.
After finishing these tasks, Yan Shuo rested briefly before summoning his secretary, Xiao Ya, and solemnly instructed her, "Xiao Ya, disguise yourself as Mizutani Akihiro, take the password and seal I gave you, go to the Yokohama Specie Bank, and withdraw another 30 yen. Remember, keep a low profile and don't attract attention."
Xiaoya bowed and replied, "Yes, stationmaster."
After sending Xiaoya away, Yan Shuo drove to the secluded residence in Sheshan. He needed to see Mizutani Akihiro, whom he had been keeping under house arrest there.
Upon entering the courtyard, Yan Shuo saw Mizutani Akihiro's appearance and couldn't help but frown.
The once-glorious Japanese lieutenant general is now terribly haggard. Although he can move freely in the courtyard, he can never escape this tiny space.
Without the beauties who used to surround him, he was depressed all day long. He ate only a few things and rarely drank alcohol. Only when Yan Shuo came over would he be given a few sips of wine to satisfy his craving.
Seeing Mizutani Akihiro's dejected and listless appearance, Yan Shuo was immediately annoyed. He took a few steps forward, kicked the stone bench next to him, and shouted angrily, "Mizutani Akihiro, do you fucking want to die? If you don't want to live, just say so. Don't waste my food and take up my space!"
Mizutani Akihiro slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with numbness and disdain, and said indifferently, "What use am I to you? You've taken the money, and you've taken all the information I have. Are you keeping me around to try and swindle that million-plus yen in funding next year? Is that all Yan Shuo cares about?"
