Chapter 236: New Official Takes Office

"Chief Advisor?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance.

"Exactly." Fujiwara Chinta smiled and nodded: "Just like an ancient imperial envoy, he patrols Sector 76 on behalf of the Locust Army to set an example."

"If they have any questions, you also need to personally direct operations, point out their mistakes, guide them, and urge them to improve."

After a pause, Fujiwara added: "If necessary, the military police stationed at Sector 76 can also be placed under your command!"

"I understand, sir!" Chen Yongren bowed slightly.

"It's just like becoming a retired emperor; I'm used to that."

"If I don't tear Sector 76 apart into chaos, I won't live up to the Chief Advisor's position."

Next, Fujiwara Chinta picked up an exquisite wooden box from beside him, opened it, and inside lay a beautifully crafted pistol.

"What a beautiful pistol." Chen Yongren pretended to be delighted.

"Since you're the Chief Advisor, your sidearm naturally can't be the same as those ordinary guys." Fujiwara Chinta smiled: "The latest Colt M1911 pistol from the Ugly Country."

"From now on, this will be your exclusive sidearm. Do you like it?"

"I like it, Director Fujiwara, thank you for the trouble." Chen Yongren put on a fearful expression.

"Give it a quick try to see if it feels right." Fujiwara Chinta smiled and gestured.

Chen Yongren picked it up and played with it for a moment.

The pistol's grip feels excellent.

One word to describe it is solid.

Its power is not to be underestimated; firing. 45 caliber bullets, it will at least leave a hole in the body.

I just don't know who will be the first lucky soul to die under this pistol.

"Chen Sang, go ahead and do as you please." Fujiwara Chinta then took out two documents and placed them on the table.

One was an officer's certificate for the new government, the other a special pass.

"Besides your officer's certificate, the other is a special pass; with it, you can come and go freely at Sector 76."

Chen Yongren bowed slightly, picked up the officer's certificate, and flipped through it briefly.

Name, native place, age, rank, service record, position.

Rank of Colonel.

Just that rank alone is enough to make the dogs at Sector 76 tremble, let alone the fact that Chen Yongren also bears the title of Chief Advisor of the Special Service Committee.

It's time to get to work.

Since becoming Chief Advisor, for better work, Chen Yongren also moved into a Western-style house within the International Settlement.

"The new uniforms are being made, and the vehicles assigned by position are being allocated." Fujiwara Chinta then produced a document: "During this time, you can first get to know their situation."

Chen Yongren nodded slightly, picked up the document, and skimmed through it briefly.

Han Chen served as Director of the Confidential Affairs Department.

Huang Qifa served as Secretary Chief.

Zhang Haifeng served as Director of the Organization and Training Department.

Besides that, the members of the original 9th Squad were also split up into other departments.

The Operations Department Director, Zeng Qirui, and the Intelligence Department Director, Gu Yongshan, were personally appointed by Tsuchihara Ji.

Chen Yongren found this unsurprising.

They were agents who followed that Wang-surnamed turncoat in defecting; since we're building a new government, we have to give them some sweets.

However, just giving them sweets isn't enough; we also need to give them a big stick to whet their appetites.

Although Fujiwara Chinta said before leaving that he could rest a few more days, Chen Yongren, citing the need to quickly familiarize himself with official duties, went ahead to Sector 76.

The gate of Sector 76.

The plaque of the Central Executive Committee Special Service Committee Special Operations Headquarters hung on the right side of the gate.

On the east side of the gate's Mingxuan, a lookout tower was built facing Jixifeier Road, where two agents in black uniforms stood, holding binoculars, responsible for reconnaissance of that road section.

At the gate, several armed guards stood; seeing Chen Yongren approach, one stepped forward and demanded: "Who goes there? Show your pass!"

Chen Yongren directly produced the special pass.

Upon seeing that the issuer was actually Fujiwara Chinta, the guard's face changed dramatically, he stood at attention and saluted loudly: "Chief Advisor Chen!"

He then bent over and respectfully returned the certificate to Chen Yongren.

The other guards, seeing this, likewise imitated him, bowing and saluting Chen Yongren.

Even a few days earlier, they had heard that an advisor would soon take up duties at Sector 76 to guide the work.

They never expected the person to be so young.

Chen Yongren took the certificate, too lazy to bother with these petty gatekeepers, and headed straight into the interior of Sector 76.

"Damn it, this bastard, the more this happens, the more he causes trouble for me!"

"How did I end up with such a useless brother-in-law, who only knows how to cause trouble all day."

"No way, I must settle this before the advisor arrives."

……

"Damn, why does this good thing never fall to me? When the scandal breaks, someone else can wipe their ass."

"Those brothers are having a blast; why wasn't I assigned to their team? That girl is really pretty."

"From now on, when I have free time, I'll also head to the new recruit camp; maybe I'll run into some decent-looking female soldiers."

"Huh?"

Hearing this stream of thoughts, Chen Yongren's heart stirred.

"Operations Department Director?"

"Damn, this isn't just a gift handed to me; today I'll first take action against Cao Qirui of the Operations Department."

After roughly understanding the layout of Sector 76 via the projection map, Chen Yongren swaggered into the Sector 76 office building.

Upon pushing the door open, he saw Colonel Zhang Haifeng holding a folder, irritably berating the lackey: "Damn it, you useless thing."

"You don't understand the training plan I gave you, huh? Who's complaining? I'm asking you—we all work for the new government; who dares to complain!"

"Get those good-for-nothings who only know how to eat plain rice out of here; I don't care who their backers are—if they want to plead, have them come straight to Sector 76!"

"Tell them I'll accept any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Section Chief Zhang, calm down, don't be angry." The reprimanded lackey did his best to soothe Zhang Haifeng's emotions.

"Get out!" Zhang Haifeng waved his hand.

The lackey, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly clutched the folder and ran off.

"Huh?" Zhang Haifeng noticed Chen Yongren's figure, excitedly ran over, and saluted: "Ren Ge, has the Locust Army arranged work for you?"

Chen Yongren gave a slight nod.

"What work?" Having received no appointment for Chen Yongren, Zhang Haifeng had assumed he was being sidelined.

"Consultant, the Chief Consultant of Sector 76." Chen Yongren gave a mysterious smile.

"What?" Zhang Haifeng stared, dumbfounded.

Chen Yongren snorted: "Immediately summon all the division heads of Sector 76, no matter what they're doing."

Saying that, Chen Yongren lifted his wrist to check his watch: "I give them two minutes—get to the Operations Division office at once!"

"Yes!" Zhang Haifeng didn't hesitate, immediately standing at attention.

Afterward, Chen Yongren headed to the location of the Operations Division.

The Wind-Ear skill activated, and the internal conversation sounds appeared in Chen Yongren's ears.

"Section Chief, don't be angry—it's just a matter of signing a name, only a female soldier died; it's not like it hasn't happened before."

"Still fucking signing, I fucking have to beat you up—just go yourself, yet you're bringing your subordinates along; who the hell did you learn all this from!"

"How many times has this happened this month!"
