"What, Brother Ouyang, do you have an opinion on our military commander?" Zhu Hongda squinted at Lu Yulin.

"No, no, no, when the national crisis is at hand, everyone naturally has to share the same hatred of the enemy, and the military command was born to resist Japan, I deeply admire it, but will it be dangerous? I heard Shuxian say that you were injured last time on an assassination mission. Lu Yulin showed a sense of worry and fear.

"Brother Ouyang, do you think that our military commanders are all fighting and killing, civilian personnel are different from us, they belong to the internal service, and there will be no danger." Zhu Hongda explained to Lu Yulin, but his eyes looked at Shuxian, hoping to dispel her misunderstanding of the military command.

"Then once you join the military command, will you be arrested by the Japanese?" Lu Yulin still looked a little worried.

"Brother Ouyang, you are too timid as a mouse, you wore a military uniform and fought devils on the battlefield, why have you become so timid now?" Zhu Hongda has some contempt for Lu Yulin.

"yes, how did you get so now?" Shuxian was also dissatisfied with her man's forward-looking future.

"Wasn't I scared, I was bold last time, and I almost lost my life."

Zhu Hongda saw from Lu Yulin's eyes that the incident left a big shadow in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded: "This is different from you doing that batch of goods." ”

"Be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years, eat a trench and grow wise."

"I think it's good, I'm suffocating at home all day long, and I'm going out to find something to do, just to pass the time and subsidize a little bit of the family. With your little salary alone, I can't even afford makeup. Shuxian seemed to be full of complaints.

"Okay, okay, do what you want, if I stop you, you won't lose your temper at me when you go home, thinking that I deliberately blocked your wealth." Yu Lin looked aggrieved, as if to say that the dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people.

Shuxian glanced at Yulin, then raised her wine glass and looked at Zhu Hongda with a smile: "Hongda, thank you for thinking of me and helping me find an errand, this glass of wine, I respect you." ”

Yu Lin snatched the wine glass from Shuxian's hand and drank it all: "I'll drink it for you, in case you get drunk and vomit a mess at night, I have to clean it up for you. ”

Shuxian looked at Yu Lin and was angry. Zhu Hongda hurriedly got up and rounded the field.

"Okay, good, whoever drinks is the same, it's all the same, then it's decided, next Monday, you will come to Hollyland Trading Firm, No. 33 Baylor Road, and you can say that you can find Shen Hanlin when you enter the door."

"Hollyland Trading House, 33 Baylor Road. I remembered. ”

Back in the West Wing at night, Shuxian couldn't stop her excitement.

"Yulin, I didn't expect that Zhu Hongda actually invited me to join the military command, and it is also a confidential department, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so that we can obtain a lot of information."

"Yes, the opportunity is rare, but the water in here is very deep, and those military commanders are not ordinary roles, after you enter, you have to protect yourself well, don't expose yourself easily, if you can gain a firm foothold in the military command, it will be a wedge for our party to enter the Kuomintang, and you must cherish this position."

"Well, I know. Then I'll have to quit my job at the library. ”

"I think it's okay, now that assistant Liu Yuening of yours is basically capable of this task, let her continue to maintain this reading club, and if there are any specific tasks in the future, you will participate in the guidance."

"Then I will go and resign to Principal Pei tomorrow, and say that I am pregnant and will protect the fetus at home."

"This is the best excuse, what I'm most worried about now is whether your body can afford it, you are now an expectant mother, and you can't have any mistakes." Yu Lin touched Shuxian's stomach and looked at her distressedly.

"I think I'll be fine, otherwise, I'll ask Yurong to give me a few more pairs of tocolytic pills, so it should be foolproof."

"Well, this proposal can be considered. I'll report this to Lao Chen tomorrow. Shuxian, you are tired today, hurry up and rest, it is also very necessary to ensure sleep. ”

The next morning, Yu Lin came to Yipinzhai and told Lao Chen about Zhu Hongda's invitation to Shuxian to enter the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and Lao Chen was also very surprised.

"This is really pie in the sky, we are lacking such an opportunity now, I didn't expect it, my wish came true, this position is very important, it allows us to obtain more information, however, this situation is also very dangerous, a little carelessness will lead to death, Shuxian She is a weak woman after all."

"I know Shuxian, she is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she has been working underground for so many years, and I believe in her ability to deal with things and be adaptable. The opportunity is rare, after this village, there is no such shop. ”

"Yes, it seems that this job is none other than Shuxian. Okay, I'll report this to my superiors. ”

"Lao Chen, I still want to ask, we have been in Shanghai for half a year, and we have been separated from Xu Mingfeng and Shuyan for many days, I want to inquire, how is their situation, and what is the situation in Guangzhou?"

"You're homesick, aren't you?" Lao Chen smiled and patted Yulin's shoulder.

"There are actually no one in the family anymore, I just think of the comrades who used to fight together."

"A while ago, the leaders of the Southern Bureau told us some about the anti-Japanese situation in various regions, and as predicted by the central authorities, the anti-Japanese war has moved from the stage of strategic defense to the stage of strategic stalemate, and is now about to enter the stage of counteroffensive. The Allies switched to a counteroffensive in the Pacific theater. The Kuomintang army achieved a major victory in the battle in western Yunnan and northern Burma. The situation in Guangzhou was good, several beautiful ambushes were fought, several thousand people were annihilated in the Guangzhou garrison, the Japanese gendarmerie Sato had also been killed, and the leaders of the Southern Bureau especially praised all the commanders and fighters of the Dongjiang Column. Yulin, don't worry, Mingfeng and Shuyan are very good, we beat the enemy on different battlefields, and the devil's days will not last long. ”

Yu Lin held Lao Chen's hand tightly: "Our victory is just around the corner, and the dawn will come after all." ”

With Zhu Hongda's investigation report, the case of Du Lengding was basically closed. Meng Ruoyu was executed for both embezzlement and traitor, and his apartment was confiscated. Originally, Tan Jingting was going to take up his new post at Shanghai Station immediately, but Chongqing did not issue an order for a long time, which made Tan Jingting very puzzled.

It turned out that not long after Meng Ruoyu was executed, the Chongqing Military Command Station received a secret report from an undercover agent of a military commander codenamed Chameleon, saying that the 20 boxes of Du Lengding had been transported from Shanghai to the communist base in northern Jiangsu by a communist named Yue Lin. The chameleon is a senior sleeper planted by the military commander in the base area in northern Jiangsu. Therefore, the reliability of his intelligence is very strong. Therefore, the above reported this situation to Tan Jingting, and asked him to continue to investigate the communist member named Yue Lin after he arrived in Shanghai.

Tan Jingting took Osmanthus to the Shanghai Station of the Military Command to report the arrival.

"Stationmaster Yu, Director of Intelligence Tan Jingting has come to report to you." Tan Jingting gave a military salute to Yu Peiliang.

"I'm finally looking forward to you, Brother Tan, I've heard about your situation, you are on fire at the city gate, affecting the pond fish. Rest assured, your qualifications and abilities are obvious to all, and I am sure that you will be able to make a difference with me. ”

"Thank you webmaster for your encouragement. Thanks to the stationmaster's refusal to give up, Tan will go all out and live up to the stationmaster's weight. ”

"Okay, okay, don't be too restrained, come, I'll introduce you to the colleagues in our station."

Yu Peiliang pressed the bell on the table, and an orderly walked in.

"You go and call the Chief of Operations, the Chief of Telecommunications, the Chief of Confidentiality, and the Chief of General Affairs."

After a while, Yu Peiliang's right-hand men from various departments came to Yu Peiliang's office in unison.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is the new Director of the Intelligence Division Tan Jingting, Director Tan, this is the Director of Operations Zhu Hongda, this is the Director of the Telecommunications Division Jiang Zetong, this is the Director of the Confidential Division Cao Xiuying, and this is the Director of the General Affairs Division Zhao Qisheng. In the future, we will be colleagues working together in the same trenches, and I hope that everyone can be sincerely united, friendly and mutually helpful. ”

"Tan is a newcomer, and I have a lot to ask my colleagues for advice, and I hope you will give me advice." Tam King-ting shook hands with the directors one by one.

"Where, Director Tan was sent by Chongqing, and we should ask you for advice." Zhu Hongda responded politely.

"Director Zhu is polite, although Tan is from the capital, but Shanghai is the lifeblood of the country's economy, and its importance is self-evident. Tan has just arrived in your place, and he is not familiar with the place, and he hopes that Director Zhu will give him more advice. ”

"Director Tan is modest, and where I need someone Zhu, I should work for myself."

Tan Jingting turned to Cao Xiuying again: "Director Cao is a heroine, and Tan deeply admires him." ”

"Director Tan is shrewd and capable, heroic and resolute at first glance. With you as the director of the Intelligence Division, I believe that our Shanghai station will definitely be able to make great achievements. Cao Xiuying, the director of the Confidential Division, was busy touting Tan Jingting.

"Director Cao praised it falsely, Tan is not talented, and I hope Director Cao will help."

Tan Jingting smiled at Cao Xiuying, and then walked up to Jiang Zetong, the director of telecommunications.

"I heard in Chongqing that Director Jiang is skilled in business, and he has cracked many Japanese telegrams, and he has won the respect of Shangfeng."

"Where, I heard that Brother Tan used to be a fierce general on the battlefield, and he is a little condescending to us." Jiang Zetong said in a weird way.

"Tan is a guilty person, why is he brave, I just hope to make a difference here, so as to live up to Shangfeng's kindness to me. Therefore, I hope to cooperate sincerely with Director Jiang in the future. ”

Tan Jingting has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is full of officialdom.

Before Director Tan walked in front of Zhao Qisheng, Zhao Qisheng took the initiative to step forward and hold Tan Jingting's hand.

"Brother Tan, you just arrived in Shanghai, have you come with your family?" Zhao Qisheng asked with concern.

"Just me and my eldest sister, I'll let her rest in the small shop next door."

"Why don't you come up together? Go and ask her to come up. When Yu Peiliang heard this, he planned to ring the bell and call the orderly.

Tan Jingting pressed Yu Peiliang's hand: "No need, stationmaster, she is a countryman and has never seen much of the world, so let her wait for a while, and when my matter here is over, I will take her to the dormitory." ”

"Director Zhao, then you can arrange a place for Director Tan to live as soon as possible." Yu Peiliang hurriedly instructed Zhao Qisheng.

"Okay, there is one ready-made, which is the apartment of An Huiming, the former director of intelligence on Hag Road."

"Alas, Director An was unfortunately martyred, he didn't have a family yet, and he died young, it's a pity. Then Director Tan will move to him. ”

"Okay, thank you stationmaster, thank you Director Zhao."

"You're welcome, Director Tan, if you need anything, just look for me, after you move in, you need to buy something, just make a list for me, and I will help you procure everything." Zhao Qisheng seemed very attentive.

"Then it's troublesome for Director Zhao."

"Okay, everyone has already met, I hope you must be dear and sincere in the future, unite and encourage each other, then that's it, everyone go back to work, Director Tan, your office is opposite Director Zhu."

Tan Jingting nodded.

"Brother Tan, why don't you settle down with Director Zhao first, and then come back in the afternoon."

"Okay."

"Director Zhao, you can take Director Tan and his eldest sister together."

Zhao Qisheng took Tan Jingting and Wu Guihua to the residence of An Huiming, the former intelligence director on Haige Road, this is a suite, because An Huiming is single, so there are no miscellaneous things, and after a little tidying up, Tan Jingting and Osmanthus lived with the two of them. Zhao Qisheng helped Tan Jingting buy some daily necessities, and Tan Jingting's home in Shanghai was settled.
