Cao Ruian continued: "We need to investigate clearly, is there something wrong with these intelligence agents? Who is the problem? This is very important for us to do next. ”

Although these sleepers are all directly commanded by Ji Xinghuai, their identities are recorded in the secret files of the bureau headquarters, so Chu Guangji has this list in his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about losing contact.

Yu Xinghuai's accidental death has made all the hidden intelligence agents who may have access to him suspicious, you must know that these intelligence agents are very valuable intelligence, and if the new intelligence station wants to open the situation smoothly and carry out its work, these people will play a very important role.

However, if you can't find out the person who is really in problem and ensure that their identity is safe, then you can't use them, and these intelligence agents can only fall into a long dormant period, and even have the possibility of disconnection in the end, you must know that the value of these intelligence agents is huge, once this happens, for the intelligence station, the loss can be great.

Cao Ruian continued: "These hidden intelligence officers are the most valuable resources left by Taiyuan Station, and we are new to the city, everything has to start from scratch, and there are many difficulties!" At this time, the cooperation of these intelligence agents is urgently needed, so your investigation work must also be carried out, and when the conclusion is reached, we must use these people as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, I'll finish the investigation as soon as possible." Xu Chengyan nodded, although Cao Ruian did not mention other hidden intelligence agents, but he knew that Cao Ruian must have arranged for other intelligence agents to perform the same task, and his target was Han Zhirong.

"Also, Han Zhirong's level of secrecy is very high, according to the rules, he can only be directly commanded by the stationmaster, if it is not a special situation this time, we will not be able to tell you anything about him, so this time in the investigation, you must keep it strictly confidential, issue a gag order, and not let his identity be exposed!"

Of course, Cao Ruian's concerns are not unreasonable, these latent intelligence officers at Taiyuan Station are all important chess pieces planted in the Japanese puppet government at a huge cost by the military commanders, and it can even be said that they are the most valuable force of the intelligence station, and the entire intelligence station's work to obtain intelligence is almost all carried out around these people, if it is not for the difficult situation now, the intelligence station must screen them, otherwise it will never reveal any information about these people.

Of course, Xu Chengyan knew the relationship inside, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Understand, I will also make it clear to Ji Yun, and the information will never be leaked." ”

At this time, Chu Guangji said slowly: "We all know your ability, so we will give you such an important task."

Is Han Zhirong friend or foe? Does it have anything to do with the death of the webmaster? We don't know, we have to base on the final conclusion of your investigation, you are an old agent, you must be cautious, grasp the scale, I will monitor the progress at any time. ”

"Yes, I'll find out his true identity as soon as possible." Xu Chengyan nodded and took the order.

The task was explained clearly, and after talking for a while, Chu Guangji gave Cao Ruian a look, Cao Ruian understood, casually made an excuse, got up and left the table, and only Chu Guangji and Xu Chengyan were left in the room.

Seeing Cao Ruian leave, the expression on Chu Guangji's face became amiable, and Xu Chengyan was obviously relaxed.

"Were you complaining in my heart just now that I didn't support you?" Chu Guangji asked in a harmonious voice.

"Of course not," Xu Chengyan immediately shook his head and said, "I know that Director Cao is here, and you have to give him some face." ”

Chu Guangji laughed, very satisfied with Xu Chengyan's answer.

At present, the Taiyuan Intelligence Station has just been built, and all the personnel are specially recruited by Chu Guangji, whether it is his old department or his students, they can be regarded as Chu Guangji's descendants.

These old departments are headed by Cao Ruian, this time Ding Mingrui came to tell Xu Chengyan that the two were unruly and disobedient to the leadership, and the conflict between the two made Chu Guangji very embarrassed, so in front of Cao Ruian, he also had to pretend to be a gesture, and then make it clear to Xu Chengyan in private.

"Honestly, you and I have been in love with teachers and students for many years, no better than others, if you hadn't sacrificed your life to save me, I would have buried myself in the loess, so don't worry, I absolutely support you, it's just that things can't be done too obviously, and I have to give Ruian some face."

It turns out that the relationship between Xu Chengyan and Chu Guangji is indeed no more than ordinary teacher-student relationship, when he lost the battle of Songhu, when he retreated, he was pursued by the Japanese all the way, and hundreds of thousands of troops died on the way to retreat, as many as 100,000, which can be described as heavy casualties and collapsed.

Chu Guangji, as the instructor who led the team, led these cadets and soldiers to retreat all the way, but the troops were bombed by Japanese planes on the way, and it was Xu Chengyan who sacrificed his life to knock him down and roll into the ditch, so he survived.

Later, Xu Chengyan, Ji Yun and others took turns to carry Chu Guangji, who was seriously injured, and fled all the way, crossing Suzhou, crossing Lishui, Jiujiang, and finally to Anhui, which can be regarded as settling down.

During this time, thanks to the careful care of Xu Chengyan and others, Chu Guangji finally saved his life, so Chu Guangji's treatment of Xu Chengyan was naturally different from ordinary students.

Later, Chu Guangji was transferred back to the headquarters, Xu Chengyan went to southern Jiangsu to join the National Salvation Army, and the teachers and students shed tears.

This time, Chu Guangji served as the stationmaster of Taiyuan Station, and the first thing that came to mind was to transfer Xu Chengyan back to his side, which was enough to show that he valued Xu Chengyan.

"Teacher, you are serious, I naturally know your hard work, but this Ding Mingrui is timid, too irresponsible, he doesn't contribute to himself, and he blindly suppresses it, and doesn't let me make a move, it's really ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Chengyan was helpless, and his grievances were overflowing.

Chu Guangji knew what Xu Chengyan meant, and said softly: "I have wronged you, I also severely reprimanded Ding Mingrui before, I thought that he had experience and could share my worries, but his performance during this period of time has ......"

Speaking of this, Chu Guangji shook his head helplessly, in fact, his mood at this time was quite similar to Xu Chengyan.

Chu Guangji is an old man who joined when he was in the practice department, and his qualifications and abilities are not bad, but he is not appreciated by his boss, so he has been pressed in the middle level and has not been reused.

After many years of hard work in this way, it was not until this time that the two major intelligence stations of Suiyuan and Taiyuan suffered heavy losses, and it was just when the situation on the front line in Shanxi was critical, and the top level of the Military Command Bureau urgently needed to restore Shanxi's intelligence organization in the shortest possible time.

And Chu Guangji has worked hard for many years, and this time he was finally able to serve as the military chief and preside over the work of one party, which was naturally full of ambition and determined to break through a situation in Shanxi, so the urgency in his heart was no less than Xu Chengyan.

The reason why he launched a purge and retaliation operation as soon as he took office was not only an order from the top, but also a desire to perform.

However, this first task made him very disappointed in his old departments, and after the operation began, these old departments were more cautious and inadequate.

The four targets that have been cleared are all done by their own students, especially Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun, only these two have assassinated three targets in succession in a month, especially important people like Kazuya Harada, and this achievement report is definitely able to satisfy the high-level.

Thinking of this, he said in harmony again: "However, after all, these people have been with me for many years, and I always have to save some face for them, so you still have to keep a low profile, and now, the most important thing is to finish Han Zhirong's affairs first."

Don't underestimate this matter, it is no less important than the task of purging, and it is also a task specially assigned by the high-level.

Now our situation in Shanxi is very difficult, most of the long-term hidden and lurking intelligence agents have been arrested, and the intelligence system has suffered an unprecedented blow for many years, resulting in almost zero of our ability to obtain intelligence now, So, you still have to be careful, as for the future, I will arrange it! ”

"I understand, everything is subject to the teacher's arrangement!"

Chu Guangji smiled slightly, and said approvingly: "During this period of time, I am very satisfied with your performance, and you have done a clean and beautiful job several times, especially this time when you assassinated Kazuya Harada, which has a great impact, I will focus on your merits, accumulate meritorious achievements, and try to raise your rank in a short period of time, and will never miss your future." ”

"Thank you for the teacher's care, the students will remember it!" Xu Chengyan said gratefully.

At this time, Chu Guangji suddenly remembered something and continued to ask: "I know that when you were in southern Jiangsu, you were also doing intelligence work?" ”

"Yes, but it's just a general investigation and other work, and there is very little contact with specific intelligence." Xu Chengyan nodded and said.

When he and Ji Yun were in the National Salvation Army in Southern Jiangsu, because of their good skills and special agent training, they were both transferred to the reconnaissance team soon after they joined.

It's just that the nature of their work is biased towards the military, and they are mainly responsible for disguised reconnaissance, armed raids, assassination of targets, arresting tongues and other operations, which is very different from espionage and intelligence work in the general sense.

The main reason is that the National Salvation Army was suppressed by the Japanese in southern Jiangsu, fighting guerrillas everywhere, and even the base areas were constantly changing, so it was very weak in engaging in espionage and intelligence, and Xu Chengyan did not have the opportunity to contact these work, he was better at engaging in military affairs.

"Do you have a code name of your own?"

"Codename?" Xu Chengyan suddenly understood what Chu Guangji meant, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

This is Chu Guangji going to officially arrange code names for Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun, you must know that in an intelligence organization, not every intelligence officer will have a code name.

Only an informant with a certain status in the organization and a certain intelligence value can get a code name that belongs to him, because his name needs to appear in the transmitted messages and in the documents handed over to the intelligence.

In order to prevent the true identity of the intelligence agent from being discovered in the message and the information being intercepted, this kind of accident can be named only if the confidentiality work is required.

Therefore, in the organization, the status of an intelligence officer with a code name is far more important than that of an intelligence officer without a code name.

For example, the code name of Chu Guangji, the head of the intelligence station, is Spider, the code name of Cao Ruian, the director of intelligence, is called Hound Dog, and even Ding Mingrui's has a code name, called Dandelion.

However, for example, Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan in the intelligence team do not have code names, and only in the future, with the improvement of their own intelligence value, will the organization consider arranging code names for them.

Now that Chu Guangji asked, Xu Chengyan immediately understood what he meant, which also marked the improvement of his status, and it seemed that the previous few actions had indeed benefited him a lot.

He hurriedly replied: "My code name is Viper, and Ji Yun's code name is Viper!" ”

Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun had such a code name because they specialized in assassination missions when they were in southern Jiangsu, especially since both of them were good at camouflage and poisoning, and assassinated important enemy targets many times.

Vipers and pit vipers!

Chu Guangji nodded, the code names of the military commander's sleeper agents are not good-looking, but they are proud of being cunning and fierce, most of them are of this category, such as his own code name spider, which is not very good, anyway, as long as it is practical.

He immediately said: "Okay, you will continue to use these two code names in the future, and I will immediately send a telegram to the headquarters to ask for credit for you." ”
