Section 283 Team Leader
The Japanese embassy wants to request a meeting?
Wen Xiuzhi was worried about the news that Xu Yan had just reported, and at this time, how could he have the heart to pay attention to any Japanese -- the Japanese embassy came forward to find the intelligence department, and it was estimated that a Japanese spy was arrested by our intelligence agency when he was operating in China, and they wanted to come to negotiate terms for the exchange of release.
He waved his hand impatiently: "I don't seem to have heard of any Japanese spies caught recently?" Xiao Chang, I am not in charge of foreign affairs and exchanges, so let them ask Minister Liu for advice on this matter, don't bother me -- you go out first!"
The permanent secretary was a little embarrassed, but he didn't leave, but said stubbornly: "Minister Wen, this matter was specially arranged by Minister Liu personally, and he said that you should deal with it and make a decision." ”
"Huh?" Wen Xiu was stunned, he turned around and stared at the permanent secretary with a blazing gaze: "Minister Liu asked me to deal with it?"
The permanent secretary approached, and he whispered: "The Japanese request for a meeting, the others are quite ordinary, but one of them is more special, they hope to meet directly with Lieutenant Colonel Xu Yan of our Fourth Bureau, so ......"
The next words, the permanent secretary was vague, but Wen Xiuzhi also understood what he meant: After the last review incident, the entire Intelligence Department knew that Lieutenant Colonel Xu Yan, the investigator of the Fourth Bureau, was the cronies of the Wen family, the henchmen of the henchmen, Wen Xiuzhi was the one who had to protect even if he was with the Political Department, this little lieutenant colonel, that was Wen Xiuzhi's untouchable scales. Now, since the Japanese Embassy's negotiations involve Xu Yan, Minister Liu has handed over the matter to Wen Xiuzhi to deal with. This is Minister Liu's gesture of favor to Wen Xiuzhi.
"The Japanese came to Xu Yan, what do they want to do?"
The document did not say in detail, but vaguely said that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces hoped to strengthen communication and intelligence exchanges with the Chinese military on the Tokyo monster incident last time. Research countermeasures against similar incidents...... The Japanese were very polite and humble in tone, not like they wanted to make trouble with Lieutenant Colonel Xu. ”
Wen Xiuzhi snorted: "This is China, our home field! The Japanese want to make trouble for Xu Yan here -- then they have to have the ability to do it!"
"Yes, so how do we reply to the Japanese embassy?"
Wen Xiuzhi was silent for a moment: Although the relationship between China and Japan is not very good, there is still some tacit understanding between the intelligence agencies of the two countries, and in order to avoid misunderstandings and miscalculations, the intelligence agencies have also communicated privately before. Such meetings are not without precedent.
But the problem is that when Xu Yan visited Japan, the Japanese openly tore their faces. Ignoring diplomatic etiquette and ignoring the tacit understanding and unspoken rules between intelligence agencies, they actually dared to attack the officers sent by the Chinese Ministry of Intelligence for business trips and exchanges, and Xu Yan was almost arrested by them. This incident is simply tantamount to a slap in the face of the Chinese Ministry of Intelligence and Wen Xiuzhi!
Right now. Wen Xiuzhi didn't know what the Japanese wanted to do, but they took the initiative to ask for contact, most likely because they wanted China. Feng Shui takes turns, at this time, if Wen Xiuzhi doesn't embarrass the Japanese to retaliate, will he still have the surname Wen?
Wen Xiuzhi sneered: "Tell the Japanese Embassy that our Lieutenant Colonel Xu is busy with official business, and he doesn't have time to talk to them." If the Japanese side really has sincerity and wants to talk to us. Please make a list of what they want to talk about and give it to us first. If Lieutenant Colonel Xu had time, he might be interested in talking to them -- just tell them!"
The permanent secretary stepped back in response, but Wen Xiuzhi fell into deep thought: The Japanese came to Xu Yan to exchange information about the Tokyo monster incident? Why did they attach so much importance to Xu Yan? Does Xu Yan have anything to do with the Tokyo monster incident?
Could it be that Xu Yan was also involved in the Tokyo Monster Incident? Did he participate? In terms of time, this coincides, and it happened to be the night Xu Yan arrived in Tokyo, and the Tokyo Ginza Monster Incident broke out.
Then, Wen Xiuzhi thought more deeply: The reason why the Japanese police wanted Xu Yan has always been secretive, and they have not publicly or explained it to China, and Wen Xiuzhi has never understood why the Japanese would risk the world's condemnation to attack a Chinese officer who is on a business trip -- but if Xu Yan is deeply involved in the Tokyo monster incident, this reason makes sense!
The Tokyo Monster Incident is a major crisis that threatens Japan. For the sake of the survival of the Japanese nation, it is indeed possible that the Japanese side will be desperate for everything under such heavy pressure.
"Could it be that Xu Yan was involved in the Tokyo Monster Incident at a very deep level? Or did he have a lot of information about this matter? Otherwise, the Japanese would not have come so cheekily to beg our ......?"
At this time, don't mention the depression in Wen Xiu's heart: in the eyes of outsiders, it is clear that Xu Yan is his subordinate and cronies, and Xu Yan's actions should be well known and clear, who would have thought that his boss, would rack his brains to guess what his subordinates did.
He is a very experienced and capable intelligence officer, but when he encounters a pure layman like Xu Yan, he is tied up, like a strong man who pulls out a thousand pounds against a slippery little loach, no matter how hard he uses it, he can't grasp it firmly, Wen Xiuzhi himself wonders why he fell into such an embarrassing situation: for Xu Yan, he can't control it and can't figure it out.
However, he was also awe-inspiring: even the Japanese had to come to Xu Yan to ask him about the truth about the Tokyo monster incident, and in this case, Xu Yan's warning to himself must not be taken lightly......
Thinking like this, Wen Xiuzhi finally made a decision. He picked up the phone on the desktop and dialed a number to go out: "Hey, Secretary Zhang?" Hello, I'm Wen Xiuzhi, hello, hello, it's like this, there is something that is more urgent and more important, I want to report to Minister Liu, when do you think Minister Liu is convenient...... Okay, I'll go to Minister Liu's office right away......!"
Wen Xiuzhi told Xu Yan that "I will contact him after a while", but in fact, Xu Yan waited for most of the day, from noon to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the long-awaited phone finally rang.
Xu Yan grabbed the phone. Answered: "Brother Wen, it's me!"
"Yes, buddy. It's me, Brother Wen. Wen Xiuzhi's voice revealed a burst of exhaustion: "Where are you?
"I'm in my own house, and there's no one else around, you say it, Brother Wen. ”
"Well, the news you reported today, I have already reported to Minister Liu. Minister Liu attaches great importance to this matter. also agreed to send a working group down, but ......" Wen Xiuzhi paused, and he said in a deep voice: "Minister Liu and I both think. On the basis of the current evidence and indications, we really cannot form a report to the CMC, not even a single early warning, unless we can have clearer evidence -- that we need to mobilize troops. Hundreds of thousands of residents are to be evacuated. It's not a joke, it's impossible to be so hasty with such a big decision. ”
Hearing Wen Xiuzhi say this, Xu Yanxin was disappointed. However, this was also what he expected, and he said in a deep voice, "I understand, Brother Wen." So, when will the investigation team be dispatched? Who will lead the team? Is it Brother Wen, you?"
Speaking of the working group, Minister Liu made a suggestion. He said that he had already heard of your reputation brother, and knew that you were a very capable and expert in handling special affairs. Minister Liu suggested that Yanzi you should be the leader of the investigation team!
Yanzi, I'm here to ask for your opinion: What, brother, if you were to be in charge of presiding over the investigation of this case, would you be willing?"
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment - Wen Xiuzhi's proposal was too abrupt, and he was not mentally prepared at all: "I am in charge of presiding over the investigation? Why am I in charge of presiding?"
Wen Xiuzhi was also sighing in his heart -- Jiang is still old and spicy! Minister Liu really deserves to be the number one leader of the Ministry of Intelligence, and his experience over the past few decades is really not false. Reporting to the Military Commission to mobilize field troops to be stationed in Shudu University is something that cannot be done, but arranging Xu Yan to be in charge of the investigation of the case is a wonderful trick to fly immortals in one step!
Because this is an option with the least risk and the least loss. If Xu Yan's prophecy is true, the Ministry of Intelligence will naturally be a great merit in sending Xu Yan over to resolve this huge disaster; even if Xu Yan's prediction is wrong and the news is false -- so what? It is nothing more than a trip to empty and a few plane tickets wasted.
Wen Xiuzhi's only concern was: "In case, if a monster really appears, and this guy Xu Yan messes up and fails to destroy it, then how should the matter end? Is it really like the Japanese, a large number of troops, tanks, artillery, and missile convoys are to be sent to rumble into the Jincheng city area and fight the monsters?"
Minister Liu replied lightly: "We have done our best. If it really comes to that point, this matter will definitely be out of our control, and naturally there will be higher-level leaders to take over, and we are now bothering about this problem, which is unnecessary. ”
Recalling that when Minister Liu spoke, Wen Xiuzhi couldn't help but secretly admire: This is really the wisdom that has been precipitated by years and experience! Although he is also smart and capable, compared with Minister Liu's wisdom in dealing with difficult problems quietly and lightly, it is still a little less hot!
He said to Xu Yan gently: "Brother, the clues of the case were dug out by you, and you are also the best at and most familiar with this kind of case, so you are naturally the most suitable person in charge." Would you like to put you in charge of the investigation?"
Xu Yan hesitated slightly, and then, he said: "Brother Wen, to be the leader of this kind of subordinate investigation team, I have no experience......
Wen Xiuzhi smiled: "Brother, you should understand: to deal with this kind of special affairs, we need ability, but we don't need so much experience - to deal with monsters like Tokyo monsters, no one has experience!"
"However, I am not qualified enough...... It would be more appropriate to ask the ministry to arrange a more experienced leader to lead the team. ”
"Yanzi, in the ministry organs, there are a lot of directors who are good at being officials and leaders, but can they deal with this kind of thing? Obviously, no! To deal with this kind of incident, we need people like you, not bureaucrats who can only speak official language!
Minister Liu and I arranged for you to be the team leader, just in the hope that you can have full freedom of action, not be restricted by those rules and regulations, and use your extraordinary abilities without being restrained or affected, and do your best to destroy the monster and properly handle the situation.
As for the question of your worries that you are not qualified enough to command people...... Today, the party committee of the ministry has held a meeting and decided that in view of the current situation in which various special cases continue to occur, the Fourth Bureau will set up a new department called the 'Special Anti-Terrorism Division' to deal with and handle such special cases. The party committee of the ministry has decided that you will be the deputy director of the special anti-terrorism department -- of course, the position of director is temporarily vacant, and you, the deputy director, will preside over the work!
When the time comes, we will send down the comrades of the working group, we will send elite soldiers, and they will all be transferred to the 'Special Anti-Terrorism Division' to work, so they will all be your subordinates in the future, and you don't have to worry about saying that the command cannot be moved." ”
Wen Xiuzhi strengthened his tone: "Now, we have only one question, Yanzi, are you willing?"
Faced with Wen Xiuzhi's question, Xu Yan fell into a deep groan: Minister Liu, who had never met before, and Wen Xiuzhi, they placed so much hope and trust on themselves, and they dared to let go of their little hairy head to serve as the leader of the working group alone-Xu Yan was still quite shocked by this, and there was a kind of "death for a confidant".
Moreover, Xu Yan also knew that this was the most beneficial arrangement for himself - he had already made up his mind to fight with monsters, but he was also fighting with monsters, and as the leader of the investigation team sent by the central government, he undoubtedly had a stronger advantage than himself alone. As the leader of the investigation team, he can get the unreserved full assistance of the local government, the police, and even the local garrison in Jincheng, and has an all-round superiority in organization, weapons, and intelligence.
Moreover, as the leader of the investigation team, there is another advantage: I can no longer be elbowed! I don't have to explain the intention of my actions, and I don't have to explain to anyone the sources of my unknown three-no-no intelligence, and when fighting monsters, I can also exert my super power with all my might-maybe some people will wonder about the special functions of Xu Yan, a classmate from Shudu University, and will ask him to the bottom of it, but who dares to question and investigate the magical skills of Xu Yan, the leader of the investigation team of the Ministry of Intelligence?
Everyone will only think that the legendary "Dragon Group" warriors should be so magical and extraordinary!
Thinking of this, Xu Yan finally made up his mind, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Wen, thanks to you and Minister Liu, I can afford it-in this case, the leader of this investigation team, I did it!" (To be continued.) )
