At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Li Sanjie received a reply from the East China government, asking him to meet with the sender first to see what he said before making a decision.

Due to the time difference, it was already midnight when Li Sanjie's telegram was sent back to Qingdao, and the Executive Yuan had already left work, and there were only those who kept vigil, and the person in charge of the vigil today was Qin Zheng. After receiving Li Sanjie's telegram, Qin Zheng immediately listed the telegram as a major secret and the most urgent incident, and asked all the members of the military working group to immediately gather to discuss it, and sent a car to everyone's residence to greet them. Because since it became known that there were crossers in Japan, the East China government attached great importance to it and gave the highest priority to incidents and intelligence about other crossers. After all, this is a person who knows the East China government well, and he must attach great importance to it.

Although the other 7 people had already rested at this time, after receiving Qin Zheng's notice, they all immediately got up and rushed to the office.

After reading the telegram sent back by Li Sanjie, everyone was also a little nervous, because the United States has a crosser, and the potential threat to the East China government is much greater than that of Japan, and although the United States is still in a big but not strong position, its total economy, gross national product, and GDP value are already the first in the world, and its national strength is still on the rise, and it has a vast territory, rich resources, and a huge population base, and its potential is huge. If there are a few more traversers, open a few golden fingers, it will be an extremely formidable opponent, although China has the potential not weaker than the United States, but after all, the development time is too short, can not be the advanced technology mastered by the traverser into productivity. In addition, now that his own people are still in the United States, if they are taken hostage by the United States, it will also make the East China government quite passive.

However, after discussion, everyone thought that the situation was not serious enough to that point. This is because up to this point the United States has not yet made a major technological breakthrough or development, and this either shows that the US traversers have limited capabilities, or that they have just crossed over and have not yet had a major impact on the United States; moreover, they have used this kind of private message direction to get in touch with the delegation of the East China Government, which also shows that the US traversers are at least not important government officials, so the safety of the US traverser is still guaranteed for the time being.

In addition, this time may still be an opportunity, although the East China government attaches great importance to it, but there is basically no progress, after all, the East China government has limited arrangements in Japan, so now there are other travelers mainly in contact with the East China government, it is also a rare opportunity. So it was agreed that it was okay to get in touch with the sender, first to hear what he or they had to say, just not to take it lightly, and then immediately report back to the country, which would analyze it.

After receiving the reply from China, Li Sanjie was also a little relieved, so he first told the front desk of the hotel that the East China government delegation would meet with a gentleman named Thomas Anderson at about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and if he came, please inform the East China government delegation. At the same time, it was ordered that all members of the delegation should stay in their rooms tomorrow morning and not leave the room as a precautionary measure.

The next day, after Li Sanjie got up, he took out the pistol pressed under the trunk, which was a * pistol brought from the old time and space, specially allocated for Li Sanjie's self-defense. Li Sanjie tried the feel and stuck the pistol in his waist. Then he sat in his room and waited, with him were He Handong, Tan Qizong, Li Zhisong and six other young and strong traversers, two of whom were soldiers. Li Sanjie and other four people and two soldiers all wore pistols, and the other four people also wore daggers, short sticks and other weapons, completely as if they were facing a great enemy, and at the same time formulated several emergency plans.

At 10 o'clock, I heard a knock on the door, and the voice of a waiter came from outside the door: "Mr. Lee, Mr. Thomas Anderson is here." ”

Li Sanjie nodded, like a soldier beside him, he got up, opened the door, and said, "Mr. Anderson, please come in." After the visitor entered the house, the doorkeeper immediately closed the doorkeeper, stood with his back to the door, and cut off the back road of the person, and after the waiter left, 4 people came out of the next door, 2 people guarded in front of the gatehouse, and 2 people followed the waiter to see if there were any accomplices.

Entering the room was a man of medium stature, about 40 years of age, with brown hair, small, bright eyes, wearing a long dark gray tweed coat, and holding a top hat and cane in his left hand. With a few waves of his right hand, he said, "Hello, dear friends. ”

However, as soon as he took two steps forward, he was immediately stopped by two young men holding short sticks, and the people who came also felt the unkind gaze of Li Sanjie and others, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Friends, don't look at me like this, please rest assured, I have no malicious intentions, in fact, we can also be regarded as fellow villagers!" After a pause, he said: "The people in this room should all be their own people, and it is best not to leak out our conversation, and I don't think you have any objections to this proposal." ”

At this time, Li Sanjie waved his hand and said, "Mr. Anderson, please sit down, don't worry! The people in this room have all traveled to this era from 20**, so if you have anything to say, you don't have to shy away from it." ”

Anderson sat down opposite Li Sanjie and said, "That's good, you are Li Sanjie, Mr. Li?"

Li Sanjie said: "I am, Mr. Thomas Anderson, did you travel to this era with us?

There was no change of emotion on Anderson's face, and he smiled, "It seems that you still know something?"

Li Sanjie said: "Your small boat, the radar on our warship has already discovered it, but it didn't alarm you. After the crossing, I watched you leave on the radar. ”

Anderson smiled and said, "This is impossible, I don't doubt the performance of your radar, but because our ship is an ordinary small fishing boat, no different from other fishing boats, and has never approached your warship, so it is impossible for you to pay attention to our ship, and it should be after you have definitely traveled to this era, you will only notice our ship." ”

Li Sanjie said again: "What about the Japanese? Do they still have contact with you?"

Anderson smiled again and said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to test me. Remember, I have come to you without malice. ”

Li Sanjie listened, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, just now he was indeed deceiving Anderson, deliberately posing as if he knew the details of the other party, trying to occupy the initiative of this conversation, but was recognized by the other party, this feeling, Li Sanjie has not had a few years. But now Li Sanjie has seen big occasions after all, and his little tricks have been seen through by the other party, so he doesn't care, and says: "Okay, Mr. Anderson, you took the initiative to meet us this time, you don't just want to talk to us about these things." ”

Anderson said, "Of course not, but I want to ask first, how much do you know about the traversers other than you?"

Li Sanjie hesitated for a moment and said, "After we found your ship, we were sure that there were other travelers who traveled to this era with us, and before we met you, we could be sure that there were Japanese among you." ”

Anderson nodded and said, "Looks like you know a little bit more than I expected. After a pause, he said, "It is estimated that those three Japanese have already had a fight with you, so they have exposed their origins." I knew they were going to mess with you, and they were the most hostile to you before the crossing happened. ”

Li Sanjie was also a little surprised, because Anderson's judgment was basically in line with the facts, and his words also revealed a lot of information, first of all, there were a total of 3 Japanese people who crossed over, which was consistent with the judgment of the East China government, and Anderson also said that the Japanese were the most hostile to themselves, so there was a second weight, and judging from the tone, it obviously did not refer to himself, which showed that there were at least 3 groups of people on that small boat. However, it is possible that Anderson deliberately revealed this information to whet his appetite. Therefore, he couldn't be led by Anderson in this conversation, Li Sanjie was silent for a while before he said: "Mr. Anderson, I have already answered all your questions, what you want to say, you can also say it, I think you asked to meet me, it won't be just for me to guess the secret language." ”

Anderson also realized that he had gone too far, and said: "Okay, in order to show my sincerity, first of all, let me briefly introduce myself, I am an American, in the old time and space, I was an agent of the CIA Operations Division, mainly responsible for operations in China, my name - you will call me Thomas Anderson, this is my current name." ”

When the people in the room heard this, they were all astonished. They naturally knew the name of the CIA, but they didn't expect that this ordinary-looking person turned out to be a CIA agent, because he was a member of the system like Li Sanjie in the old time and space, and he had to receive counterintelligence education every year, and the most cited example was the CIA. At this time, one of the soldiers had drawn his pistol and pointed it at Anderson.

Anderson was also startled, hurriedly raised his hands, and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm not malicious, not malicious, so relax, relax a little, okay!"

Li Sanjie took a deep breath and pulled out his gun again: "Put the gun away." Then he said to Anderson, "I'm sorry, Mr. Anderson, but we were very sensitive to your position in the old plane, so we overreacted a bit. ”

Anderson breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's understandable, it's all Hollywood's fault, in fact, the CIA is not so magical, and the CIA doesn't exist yet, so you don't have to worry." ”

Li Sanjie said: "Okay, Mr. Anderson, your self-introduction is very frank, is there anything else you want to say?"

Anderson said, "Of course, I can tell you how many people we crossed together. ”
