The rare heavy snow that fell on the night of the Lantern Festival has melted, and Beijing's streets are littered with black sewage.

There is a folk proverb in the north that "the snow lights on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August", although the heavy snow brings inconvenience to the Lantern Festival, it indicates that the year of Gengxu is a bumper harvest year with good wind and rain.

After the joint military and police security appeared at the always lively Qianmen station, pedestrians and nearby residents knew that another big man had entered Beijing to "see His Majesty". When several black and gray Taishan cars drove out of the station, the military and police withdrew, and the Qianmen station resumed its usual hustle and bustle.

Wang Yuechan, who followed Zhang Zuolin and other senior officers of the 21st Division into Beijing, sat in the last gray car, and when the convoy entered the Daqing Gate, the car she was riding in separated from the convoy and drove east "alone."

Wang Yuechan, who entered Beijing for the second time in her life, opened the purple silk curtain that covered the window, and looked greedily at the tall tower of Tiananmen Square and the military flags fluttering on both sides of the tower. The sky was overcast, and the light gray clouds were pressed low, and it seemed that there was going to be snow.

The sedan made two turns and drove into a large courtyard with a sentry post.

"It's here, please get out of the car." The driver, dressed in civilian clothes, opened the door for her.

Wang Yuecian tidied up the beige scarf around her neck, got out of the car, and saw Jiang Yun in a military uniform walking over.

"Haha, hello Mrs. Sister-in-law!" From a long distance, Jiang Yun stretched out his hand, "There is something temporary, I couldn't pick you up at the station, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

The driver was shocked by this scene, he didn't expect this woman to be quite big. He was greeted by the usually gloomy and reticent bureau seat, and it seemed that they were very familiar.

"Where do you dare to work on the big car of the Bureau!" Wang Yuecian smiled and shook Jiang Yun's hand.

"It's been more than three years! Mrs. Sister-in-law's demeanor is still the same, Lao Tian is really a blessing! Jiang Yun shook Wang Yuechan's hand.

Probably because of Long Qian's relationship, the handshake ceremony of the Mengshan military and political system has increasingly replaced the old-fashioned etiquette, especially the old team like Jiang Yun is used to this kind of Western etiquette popular in diplomatic circles.

Wang Yuechan, who gave birth to two children, has entered middle age, but there is another heart-warming demeanor, "Oh, even my jokes are ......"

"Haha, it's cold. Come with me. Jiang Yun led Wang Yuecian and strode towards the backyard.

"Is this our nest?" Along the swept out channel. Wang Yuecian followed behind Jiang Yun, walking while looking at the snow-covered rockery.

"Yes, it was originally Prince Yi's mansion. Deng Qinghua pulled it out for us. I just moved in after the Chinese New Year. A qiē is still a mess. "It's been a long time to twist and turn. Jiang Yun led Wang Yuecian into his office.

"Sit, warm up first," Jiang Yun personally made tea for Wang Yuecian. "How? Is this journey still smooth? Has Lao Tian returned? What is the situation in Tianjin? Have you seen Zhang Xiaoding? ”

Tian Shubang was ordered to go to Vladivostok to meet Artemyev, and has not yet returned to Mukden, but his secret letter is already in her arms. She took a train to Yingkou with Zhang Zuolin and others, and then took a boat to Tianjin and then changed to a train to enter Beijing. I met Zhang Xiaoding from Tianjin Station in Tianjin, "It's quite smooth." I met Zhang Xiaoding. This is from him, this one, from Lao Tian. The last big one is the work report of the Mukden station. Wang Yuecian took out three letters from her arms and handed them to Jiang Yun.

"Oh," Jiang Yun took the envelope and tore open the one from Tian Shubang first, but threw the letters from Zhang Xiaoding and Fengtian Station on the desk piled with newspapers and reports, "Come on," he shouted, "go to three places and translate this letter immediately!" Right away! Then he said to Wang Yuechan, "The commander is waiting for Lao Tian's reply, later," he looked down at his watch, "Let's go to see the commander together in an hour and a half." He was glad to hear that you were coming. By the way, Zhang Zuolin and they went directly to Xiyuan? ”

"Yes." Wang Yuechan didn't expect Long Qian to remember her.

"You're going to live in Motobu. The house is arranged for you, but it is temporary. When Lao Tian is in place, you can settle your housework yourself, this is your business scope, I don't care. As he spoke, he picked up the phone and said to the sound bureau office, and when the phone over there was connected, "The messenger from the northeast has arrived, and you report to the commander immediately." ”

"Commander, how's he?" Wang Yuechan didn't believe that Long Qian would remember her, but Jiang Yun's words still made her happy.

"The commander is good. To cut a long story short, the General Administration of National Security has been officially established. However, it has not yet been announced to the outside world that it will temporarily work in the name of the Second Division of the Military Intelligence Agency. The Commander personally presided over the separation, and most of the operations and personnel of the Military Intelligence Agency remained on our side. There are too many things, the commander personally ordered your general, otherwise I would not have recruited you in such a hurry. ”

"What assignment do you have for me?"

"Let you be my housekeeper!" Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Your official position is the director of the bureau office, so I said that you can handle the affairs of the settlement family yourself." ”

"Chief of staff?" Wang Yuecian was a little surprised.

"In addition to transactional work, the office also has an important mission of internal supervision. Your errand is set by the commander himself. The commander said that it is not easy for you to be a woman who has been running around for so many years, so take care of our family for me in the future. As he spoke, he took out a crimson velvet box from the office drawer, "Wang Yuecian!" ”

"Yes." Wang Yuecian stood upright.

"On behalf of the commander, I award you the Order of Heroes of the First Class!" Jiang Yun originally wanted to put on the medal for her personally, because the other party was a woman, and because she was wearing civilian clothes, he finally handed her the medal, "And the certificate, oh, this is your letter of appointment." Jiang Yun handed a rectangular brown paper envelope to Wang Yuechan, "You are officially in office." In half an hour, we will have a meeting, and I will announce your appointment. ”

"Yes." Wang Yuecian opened the box and stared at the gold-plated medallion.

"In the whole army, only the two of you are special. Lao Tian has obtained second-level excellence, and you have obtained first-level heroes, which is enviable. Sue you, there are only eleven people who have won the first-class Hero Medal in our system. ”

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, you deserve it." Jiang Yun smiled. "There is also a bonus, enough for you to buy a yard in Beijing, there are a lot of empty courtyard houses in Beijing, which is said to be very cheap. However, you two are afraid that you can't live outside. ”

"You said that the family was officially separated, how did you divide it?" Wang Yuechan is more concerned about the establishment of the State Security Bureau.

"You sit," Jiang Yun picked up the fire tongs and dialed the charcoal fire in the iron stove, "Lao Tian is the director of the military intelligence bureau, so he can be regarded as staying in the army system. Our State Security Administration will be regarded as a government system in the future. ”

"Why? Why kick us out of the army? ”

"What do you call driving out of the army? As far as business is concerned. We're a lot more miscellaneous than the MIA. The stall is also large. In accordance with the commander's instructions, the General Administration has now set up seven departments and one office, one in charge of personnel and the other in charge of finance. The third is telecommunications. Everywhere is the Operations Division. Five are the counter-espionage department, six are the international department, and seven are the political parties department. Responsible for the investigation of various political forces in the country. Originally, the Supervision Department was going to be set up to be responsible for the investigation and handling of internal discipline violators, but the commander repeatedly said that he wanted to streamline the organization, saying that you could do internal supervision. Jiang Yun listened to it and let Wang Yuecian digest his explanation, "You will be assigned a deputy director, and the transactional work will be handed over to him." As far as I know, except for Qiu Jin, who is still serving in the General Political Department, the women in our Mengshan Army are the highest in your position. Jiang Yun looked at the map on the wall, "Wang Zhifeng is still in Shanghai, everything is pressing on me, and I am very nervous." ”

Wang Zhifeng has been appointed deputy director of the State Security Administration, and Wang Yuechan knows it.

"In addition to the preparation for the establishment of the headquarters of the bureau, each province must also set up sub-bureaus, which are at the same level as all parts of the headquarters. I'm going to be exhausted. Jiang Yun rubbed his face. He did look tired, and he was much thinner.

"I wanted to take a few days off from you......"

"You want to go back to Shandong?"

"Got you guessing. I received a letter from Zheng Chan a few days ago, and she was in a very bad condition. I want to see her. ”

She has been admitted to the military hospital in Jinan. There should be no problem. I'm afraid I won't be able to grant you leave. ”

"I know. Bureau, what kind of charter does the commander have for Zhou Yi? I heard Lao Tian say that there is a big difference between him and Feng Lun's situation, can I mention it to the commander? ”

"It's better not to. Because you're different. Jiang Yun's face was gloomy, "This is a big case that we can't get around internally!" The Commander will take care of it. By the way, Zheng Cheng was captured in Xifu. ”

"I don't care about him. What kind of thing is he? I just feel sorry for Zheng Chan. ”

"When Zheng Chan's illness is cured, you can go to accompany Zhou Yi." Jiang Yun thought about it, and still sued her for Long Qian's decision.

"Really? That's great. I'm much more relieved about that. ”

"Leave this behind." Jiang Yun knew that there were many high-ranking generals who interceded for Zhou Yi, who was previously detained in Guangzhou, but the Southern Military Region had officially handed him over to the national security system before the Spring Festival, and was still under house arrest in Guangzhou.

"Someone," Jiang Yun shouted softly.

A young soldier appeared at the door, "This is the newly arrived director of the office, Wang Yuechan, you take Director Wang to her residence." Note that the meeting will be held in forty minutes. ”

"Yes." The young man picked up Wang Yuechan's suitcase at the door.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Wang Yuechan got up, pinched the medal box and the envelope containing the certificate and the letter of appointment, and left Jiang Yun's office with the emaciated young man.

"My name is Qu Wu, and I am Director Jiang's secretary." Young people introduce themselves.

"Oh," Wang Yuechan was still thinking about Zheng Chan in her head. A few years ago, I received a private message from Zheng Chan from Zhengjiazhuang, saying that she was sick and very strict, and I was afraid that she would not be able to see each other. If she can, I hope she goes back to Lunan to see her.

Wang Yuecian was very anxious. Immediately sent a telegram to Jiang Yun, hoping that Jiang Yun would inquire about the matter, and Wang Yuecian said in the telegram that if it didn't work, she would intercede with the commander. Soon, the headquarters called back to say that the matter had been properly arranged, and told her to leave the matter alone. But she still couldn't rest assured, although Jiang Yun just said that Zheng Chan had been taken to Jinan for treatment.

"Director Wang, it's here." Qu Wu stopped, waiting for Wang Yuecian who was left behind

In fact, she had already passed her office just now, located in the front yard where Jiang Yun lived, in a spacious courtyard, and three people, two men and one woman, were clearing the snow from the yard. They are shoveling snow into a cart.

"Guys, your boss has arrived." Qu Wu shouted.

The three of them stopped and looked at Wang Yuecian. One of the men, dressed in military uniform, was quick to react. Immediately stood up and saluted Wang Yuecian.

Although Wang Yuechan has been in the army for many years, she is not used to the etiquette in the army, especially in the years when she did underground work in Fengtian, which made her personality change a lot.

"Hello," Wang Yuecian nodded to the three subordinates.

"Director, where is your room," the baby-faced young woman pointed to the main room, "I'll take you there." I heard you're coming soon, your room is all packed......"

Five main rooms, the room was very warm. Wang Yuecian saw her bedroom. The office has been cleaned up. There is even a phone installed on the desk.

Qu Wu followed up and put her box down, "Director Wang, the meeting will be held in half an hour." It's in the office of the bureau. ”

"Got it. Thank you. ”

Qu Wu saluted Wang Yuecian again. Let's go.

"What's your name?" Wang Yuechan placed the medal and letter of appointment on the table. Said to the girl standing at the door. She stared at the girl. Looks like she's in her early twenties, what is the CIA recruiting such a young girl for?

"Director of the report, my name is Lu Qi."

"Listening to the accent, I'm from Shandong. How old is it? ”

"Yes, I'm from Laizhou. Twenty-one years old. Graduated from Shandong Military Academy last year. ”

"Oh, the military academy accepts female soldiers?" Wang Yuechan couldn't imagine that the girl would graduate from a military academy.

"From our issue. I'm an intelligence major. Lu Qi reported.

"It's okay, you're busy." Wang Yuecian has to clean herself up, because the meeting will start soon.

Half an hour later, Wang Yuechan, who had changed into a military uniform, appeared in Jiang Yun's office.

"Let me introduce you. She is the director of our office, Wang Yuechan. The wife of Director Tian of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the veteran of our intelligence system, and the winner of the Medal of Hero of the First Class," Jiang Yun smiled, "In terms of qualifications, she can be your teacher." ”

"Hello Director Wang." Six or seven men stood up and greeted each other with a rambling salute.

"In addition to Director Tian, the main officers of our bureau headquarters are here. Director Wang, let me introduce you. Qi Shounian, director of the first division, the former general political system, Cao Minzhong's old subordinate. Wang Zhanjie, director of the Third Division, transferred from the Telecommunications Department of the General Staff Department. Shi Jipeng, you should know each other, right? The director of the fourth division, our operational expert, Lao Shi is still reluctant to come to us. Bai Honggui, the director of the sixth department, he stayed in the ocean, oh, you had already gone to Kanto when he came. Li Guozhen, financial expert of the Joint Logistics Headquarters, Director of the Second Division. Han Ce, Director of the Fifth Division, yes, you should know. Yao Yurong, Director of the Seventh Division. ”

Among the seven division chiefs, Wang Yuechan only knew Han Ce, who had served in the Northern Army. The rest were first time encounters. So she nodded to Han Ce, and said hello.

"Okay, everyone knows each other. Today is the first official meeting of the General Directorate, and I would like to talk about a few things. Jiang Yunban lowered his face.

Everyone took out a pen and paper.

"Except for Qu Wu, you don't have to remember it. Make it a habit to keep in your head. The first thing," Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "With the approval of the commander, and at the earnest request of everyone, all the military registrations of the members of the General Administration will be retained, and when the title is conferred in the future, everyone will receive a military rank." In the future, police uniforms will be used for public work, and civilian clothes will be worn more often. The second place should do its best to send the dress fee to everyone. Second, the commander put forward the requirements for the State Security Administration, six words: loyalty, capability, and expertise. Most of you here are old people in the intelligence system, so I won't explain the content of these six words, so let's keep it in mind. Third, let me talk about the mission of the State Security Bureau. I understand that we are just a dog, a hound loyal to the commander! Don't think my words are ugly, nature is such nature. We must find out the enemy at home and abroad who is not conducive to the commander, and destroy it without mercy! By extension, although we will be included in the government system, we will not accept the command of any leader or department other than the president, except for the Ministry of the Interior, which will be established in the future. Moreover, the Ministry of the Interior is only an administrative leader, and it has nothing to do with me, Deputy Director Wang, or you. Fourth, the State Security Bureau should have stricter discipline than the military, and orders and prohibitions should be strictly kept secret. Those who violate discipline will be punished with the most severe sanctions! Without mercy. Fifth, be professional and hidden. We are not an army, more often than not, we use a special way to complete our tasks, do not bluff, do not lightly expose our identity, especially the comrades in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh places, we must get used to hiding in the shadows and putting the enemy in the open. The more secret your identity is, the better, and it is better for your family, relatives, and friends not to know what you do. ”

Wang Yuecian felt very cold on her body.

"The general requirement is these five. You've got me in mind. The commander has personally inquired about the appointments of all of you, and whether it is suitable or not will be probationary for a period of time. The most important things at the moment: First, carry out the screening of the members of the game headquarters. One and five departments are responsible, and one is the leader. Those whose history is unclear and whose identities are unknown will all be eliminated by me. Second, the system of several documents urgently needed within the system, identity certificates, pass certificates, the office is responsible for the issuance. In addition, the office took the lead and cooperated with one party to formulate the rules and regulations of the organs of the General Administration, especially the system of confidentiality authority. 3. The telecommunications work was very urgent, and the three departments immediately compiled a password that was different from the military system for communication and radio communication with the sub-bureaus that had already been established. Recently, the National Police Department has been instructed to conduct a nationwide census. The time is two years. The Commander instructed the General Directorate of National Security to cooperate with the work of the National Police Department, and we urgently need a national population data, which is something that I have been thinking about for a long time. Therefore, all sub-bureaus need to be fully involved in this far-reaching work, and we need to build up the population profile of our national security system throughout the country. The first office and the office shall draft a circular to set out detailed and clear requirements for each sub-bureau to carry out this work and to check and guide the progress of this work. You must know that my purpose is to control zhì, and then control zhì! If there is no detailed census data, how can the control be carried out? All departments should pay close attention to this work. 5. The Commander has already prepared for the convening of a preparatory session of the Congress, the time of which has not yet been finalized, but April is the deadline. The commander handed over the safety and security of the delegates from all provinces to the General Administration, and the work related to accommodation, transportation, and security should be carried out as soon as possible, and the work should be carried out in coordination with the Central Military Commission Secretariat. We focus on the investigation and screening of representatives, and specific transactional things, such as where to live, are handled by Ouyang Zhong. I was personally responsible for this matter, with the participation of the five divisions and the office. Sixth, and most importantly, is the investigation and surveillance of foreigners in Beijing, which is the business of the five departments, don't tell me that manpower is tight, the focus is on Russians and Japanese! Fuck, who would have thought that there would be so many Japanese in Beijing! Surveillance should grasp the key points, don't scratch your beard and eyebrows, and don't do anything to foreigners without my approval. Okay, that's all for today's meeting, do you have any questions? ”

"Nope." The crowd stood up.

"Adjournment." Jiang Yun saw that the secret letter had been translated and delivered.

"Director Wang......"

After being stunned for a moment, he realized that he was calling her, and Wang Yuechan, who walked to the door, stood still, "What does the director command?" ”

"I think of one thing, Fang Minggao will marry in a few days, I don't know if you want to go to congratulate ......"

"Fang Minggao?" Wang Yuecian couldn't remember why Fang Sheng was for a while, "Oh, you're talking about Fang Shengyuan?" ”

"Exactly. I forgot. You and Lao Tian don't know him. When he defected to the commander, you were already outside the gate. ”

"Yes......" Fang Shengyuan is not an ordinary person, Wang Yuecian is thinking about whether to go with a gift......

"If you don't know, forget it. With our identity, it is better to have less interaction with the outside world. If there is no Lao Tian, it is okay for you to go. But, it's better to forget it. Jiang Yun said while reading the translation.

"Listen to the chief."

The phone rang, Jiang Yun picked it up, "Yes, let's go over immediately." Putting down the phone, Jiang Yun ordered to prepare the car, "You come with me." (To be continued......)
