The personnel change of No. 76 was quietly completed in a short time. The two departments, which were originally close to No. 76, and the Ministry of Social Affairs, also completed their historical missions and lost traces from the organizational structure of the pseudo-government. Ding Mocun was renamed the Minister of the Police Department. Although he had obtained the position he had always dreamed of, he had no relationship with No. 76. Zhou Fohai was undoubtedly the biggest loser in this competition. He could still make trouble for No. 76's affairs based on the "Purge Committee" and "Secret Service Committee" but now, the two departments have been revoked one after another, and he has also lost the ability to interfere in intelligence work. In addition, the organization of the guard brigade originally led by Wu Sibao was revoked. No. 76 also lost the largest armed force within it. The operation brigade retained its organization, but only one of the three original brigades was retained.

Although the four halls and four rooms that Li Shiqun originally added were retained, their appearance has changed greatly, and the four places were particularly prominent. In the later period of Li Shiqun's rule, due to the crazy expansion, the earliest four places had actually changed into eight places. This time, four of them were abolished, and only the confidential departments, the Electricity Department, the General Affairs Department and the Intelligence Department were retained.

Zheng Jin was promoted to No. 76 and served as secretary-general of the Office of Director No. 76. This was also the previous position of Huang Jingzhai. Wang Tianmu took office as deputy director of No. 76 and director of the First Department, Lin Zhijiang was appointed as director of the Second Department, and Chen Xinyi and Qiu Junmu served as director of the Third Department and the Fourth Department.

The peripheral organizations of the secret agent headquarters established by Li Shiqun, such as Haishe and the "Shanghai Court Colleague", were ordered to close. Only "Litai Money House" was officially renamed "Litai Bank" and retained, but its management rights were all in the hands of Zheng Jin.

After cleaning up this set of things, in other words, the power of No. 76 controlled by Tadashi Kawakami has been discounted by half compared to before.

On the contrary, Zhuang Chongxian, although he did not get the throne of No. 76, the Military Intelligence Department had outstanding performance in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang incident. After rewarding merits, he obtained the license for expansion. The number of people and institutions was more than doubled compared to the past. At least in Shanghai, it was enough to compete with No. 76. Zhuang Chongxian also took off his hat as deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department and officially took over the position of Director of the Military Intelligence Department of the Ministry of National Defense. Therefore, after experiencing the initial stage of rage, Zhuang Chongxian quickly turned anger into joy. No. 76 was greatly weakened, while the Military Intelligence Department was expanded. By comparison, it was obvious that he had gained the advantage. Although Yuan Jianfeng was also promoted beyond the level, the agent headquarters was no longer as good as before. It can be said that the general situation was hopeless. Besides, can a subordinate who once had his own subordinates fight Zhuang Chongxian, who had surpassed the old officialdom? This is also the reason why many people are not optimistic about Yuan Jianfeng.

In general, Lin Xiaotang is very satisfied with the current situation. The situation of "two tigers competing for food" deployed by the Nanjing government and the Japanese is in line with Lin Xiaotang's needs. In No. 76, Wang Tianmu was used as an internal aid, and there was absolutely no problem monitoring Yuan Jianfeng. Yuan Jianfeng's attitude towards Wan Tianmu and other surrendered generals was completely different from Li Shiqun. This can be seen from the personnel arrangements within the agent headquarters that Yuan Jianfeng had no foundation in No. 76, and he needed Wang Tianmu and others to help him stabilize his rule. In the Military Information Department, due to the large-scale expansion, Lin Xiaotang also gave Lin Xiaotang the opportunity to mix sand. A group of lurking in this opportunity took advantage of this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the Military Information Department.

In the whole thing, the biggest losers were Kawakami Tadaohui and Zhou Fohai. Needless to say, Kawakami Tadaohui was also affected by the game between the commander and the imperial sect. Zhou Fohai has been busy fighting with Li Shiqun over the years. Although he did not have an advantage, he relied on his outstanding position in the government and won a large number of followers. In addition, he kept getting along with Chongqing, which made the Japanese very dissatisfied, and took advantage of this opportunity to weaken his authority.

There are gains and losses, but they are still in a balanced state. This is the true portrayal of Shanghai at present.

The chaos after Li Shiqun's death soon came to an end with the reorganization of No. 76. While Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, he also welcomed the "Women's Group" from Nanyang.

Lin Xiaotang's wife Dong Jiayi, big-headed wife He Youjing, Ma Qixiang's wife Ji Jia, and Shang Zhensheng's wife all rushed to Shanghai from Thailand. The fire-eyed wife Long Yulan and Jansen's wife also came to Shanghai with their infant children. Xiaobi was unable to come together this time because she had to take care of the affairs of Bangkok Station and Yangon Station.

Before this, Lin Xiaotang had arranged for Datou to redecorate the row of villas behind the hot spring hotel. Each family prepared a complete set of daily necessities and arranged for their brothers and family to reunite for a while to enjoy the joy of family.

Lin Xiaotang's villa was completely decorated according to Dong Jiayi's boudoir when she was in Thailand, and to avoid her wife's homesickness. After all, she grew up in Thailand since she was a child. Although she lived in Shanghai for a while, she was still not very adapted to the weather in Shanghai. These decorations and furniture can at least give her a little comfort, which can be regarded as a gift Lin Xiaotang carefully prepared for her wife.

Sure enough, this preparation surprised Dong Jiayi inexplicably. As soon as she walked into the room, she seemed to have returned to her home in Thailand. The familiar arrangements and furniture made Dong Jiayi feel like she was in a dream. In the inexplicable surprise, naturally, a series of fragrant kisses were given directly to her husband.

In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset was sprinkled on the wide lawn in front of the villa. Lin Xiaotang, Datou and others had already prepared the cured meat. Chen Fatty and Fire Eye were busy adding up the barbecue stove that Lin Xiaotang shot and putting it into the charcoal. They were preparing to hold a lively welcome dinner for the wives who had just arrived in Shanghai on the lawn. Not far away, in the lush woods, flocks of birds were amazed by the laughter and joy on the grass, and then they flew into the sky with curiosity, shaking their heads and sharing people's joy.

Long Yulan and Jensen's Jewish lady Jemes took the child to sit on the grass not far from the barbecue grill. One was a boy and the other was a girl. Jenses's child was a little older and had reached the age of toddler. With the support of his mother, he was shaking and chasing the colorful butterflies, which was very cute.

Lin Xiaoai, Tonigai and Dong Jiayi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, quietly watching the people on the grass, a sense of quiet happiness arose.

Lin Xiaotang suddenly touched his chin, "Jiayi, I suddenly remembered something."

"What." Dong Jiayi's long eyelashes shook slightly, and she raised her head to look at Lin Xiaotang.

"I think we should have a child too." Lin Xiaotang murmured.

Dong Jiayi's face immediately covered with a layer of blush, and her voice became low and unaudible. "In Thailand, have we worked hard? We are still young and have many opportunities."

Lin Xiaotang hugged Dong Jiayi tightly in his arms, "I have worked hard in Shanghai for so many years, and now I am the most comfortable. I suddenly feel afraid of losing."

Dong Jiayi suddenly giggled, "I'm in your arms, who can take me away?"

"This is exactly why I want my children. You may also know that I have to go to Japan for a trip. The risk of this operation is very high, and I am afraid..."

Dong Jiayi suddenly reached out and covered Lin Xiaotang's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, I understand what you mean. Jiang Bo has explained to me what you want to do. This is a plan you have made long ago. Don't worry, I will never stop you, because I know that I am married to a man who stands tall."

At this moment, there was no word that could describe Lin Xiaotang's inner gratitude. He just hugged his wife tightly.

But Dong Jiayi suddenly poked her head out of his arms, "Don't delay Xiaozhi's affairs. When it came, my father also told me that it was not easy for Xiaozhi to be alone in Nanjing. When I left, I had already sent her a telegram to come to Nanjing to get along with us. It would be a while to talk. I thought, I might as well marry her in the door while I was in Shanghai."

Dong Jiayi suddenly looked dark, "Don't mention that Japanese woman to me, her business is still the same, there is no way."

Lin Xiaotang's face turned bitter, "I didn't say anything." Seeing Dong Jiayi's face being a little wrong because of mentioning Sora Haneda, Lin Xiaotang didn't do it. Seeing that it was still early, he simply carried Dong Jiayi and walked towards the bed with big strides.

Dong Jiayi was shocked, "What are you doing?" Pink fists kept hitting Lin Xiaotang's chest.

"What are you doing? While it's still early, of course I'm going to implement the human creation plan, so that's more important."

...

The sky was completely dim. Ma Qixiang and Guo Zhui had already pulled up several colorful lights on the lawn and shone the dining table and barbecue stove. The two children pointed at the lights excitedly and kept talking nonstop. Even the adults showed a knowing smile.

Lin Xiaotang and Dong Jiayi had already walked out of the villa. Lin Xiaotang simply acted as chefs and put the pickled ingredients on the barbecue rack with Fatty Shen. The smoke rose up. In an instant, the fragrance of food spread throughout every corner of the lawn.

Seeing the women and children having fun eating, Lin Xiaotang and others smiled knowingly. After experiencing a life of fighting with bullets, the time now is the most precious experience for them. The happiest moment for a person is to see his lover and children in happiness.

Shang Zhensheng handed Lin Xiaotang a glass of wine. Lin Xiaotang held the wine glass and pondered for a moment. He sprinkled some of the wine in the wine glass onto the grass. Then he raised the wine glass high. Datou and others were suddenly silent, and raised the wine glass high as Lin Xiaotang looked.

Lin Xiaotang whispered: "At this time, we cannot forget the brothers who have left, so we must toast them the first glass of wine."

The women and children seemed to notice the sudden solemn atmosphere, and hurriedly stood up from the grass.

Lin Xiaotang raised the wine glass again, "To my elder brother and sister-in-law, to my elder brother Zhou Chaojian, to my elder brother Liu Chengfeng, and to all the brothers who left."
