At noon, the church bells rang again. For a lot of people, it's just a way to report time; For Pastor Sean, it was a symbol of piety; For Zhu Jingxing and his brothers in the platoon, this is a symbol of spending the day peacefully and peacefully.

The church bells were not sounded by mechanical movements, but by Pastor Sean himself. The mechanical clock was damaged by the Japanese bombardment, and the watch hand could no longer be turned. Every day at noon, Pastor Sean would ring the bell on time on his pocket watch, so the ringing of the bell was also a symbol of peace for Zhu Jingxing.

After ringing the bell, Zhu Jingxing and the others began to arrange a shift change. Deputy platoon commander Hu Liqun brought a few brothers over to change shifts, and Zhu Jingxing was also going to the barracks for dinner.

In fact, there were also free meals in the church, but they were all provided to the wounded and some victims, and Zhu Jingxing instructed the brothers to go to the barracks to eat, and not to eat or drink in the church. At this point, everyone understood, and did not say anything.

After the simple handover, Zhu Jingxing and the others prepared to go out. Just as he was getting to the door, an ox cart arrived. There were several bloodied civilians lying on the car, who looked like they had been wounded in Japanese shelling, and next to the wounded stood several of their relatives, who rushed in in a hurry, saying that they wanted to find a doctor.

Zhu Jingxing felt that these people were a little suspicious, but looking at the board of the ox cart, there were only three bloodstained people lying there, and he couldn't see any weapons or anything like that, so he didn't come forward to interrogate.

The men were in a hurry, rushed to the church and begged everywhere, and after a while the doctors and nurses rushed to the operating room and pushed them into the operating room.

The rescue was busy going on, but a few relatives outside the door looked at it but were not so anxious, and looked around. This aroused Zhu Jingxing's suspicions, and he quietly called Hu Liqun and asked him to be attentive to these people.

Hu Liqun nodded, he didn't have any disagreements with Zhu Jingxing in terms of action, because many times Zhu Jingxing would fully respect his ideas.

Back in the cafeteria, Zhu Jingxing was still relieved. After quickly grabbing two mouthfuls of food, he hurried towards the church. During this time, I have always heard that the Burmese Independence Army is preparing to carry out operations, and some time ago I heard that during the attack on Rangoon, Burmese traitors and Japanese spies destroyed all kinds of military warehouses, resulting in chaos in the rear of the British army.

Now that they have been unable to attack the same country for a long time, it is the top priority to strictly guard against all kinds of espionage and sabotage activities.

When I returned to church, the operation was still in progress. Seeing that those relatives were still there, Zhu Jingxing was also relieved. Hu Liqun came over and said, "It's nothing, I've been letting the brothers keep an eye on it. I deliberately got close and searched just now, and there was no guy on them. ”

Zhu Jingxing nodded: "You still can't take it lightly." There are a lot of Burmese people who have been sent these days, so the brothers have to work hard, and when they eat, they should let people go to the barracks to fetch food and send them over, and eat and rest in the church. ”

Hu Liqun scratched Tie Qing's scalp: "These days, more and more Burmese people are being sent, and the brothers can't see even if they have eight eyes. ”

"If you can't watch it, you have to watch it, no way!" Zhu Jingxing adjusted the armed belt around his waist and said: "Pastor Sean will not let the Burmese in, nor will he agree to let us bring weapons in, there is no way we can only rely on two eyes to stare at." At the door, I turned around and discussed with Pastor Sean, set up a guard at the door, and everyone who came in had to search it, as long as there were no weapons, a large part of the safety could be guaranteed. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Jingxing found Su Hui and Pat, hoping that through them and Pastor Sean, they would have to check the entrance and exit of the church in the future to prevent anyone from entering with weapons.

Reverend Sean did not object to this, so he set up a sentry at the entrance of the church, and conducted a simple search of everyone who entered, preventing them from entering with weapons.

Because of this sentry, Zhu Jingxing is much more at ease. Early the next morning, when Zhu Jingxing had just come over to change shifts, Hu Liqun ran over and said: "The Burmese people sent a few days ago died, and they were pulled back early in the morning." ”

"Dead?" Zhu Jingxing still remembered yesterday that those people recovered well: "Didn't I think it was still good yesterday?" How do you say that death is death? ”

Hu Liqun said: "I also feel puzzled. Their relatives dragged them away early this morning, and they were in such a hurry that even Pastor Sean thought it strange. ”

"Really?" Zhu Jingxing always felt that these people were strange, but at present, there was nothing unusual, he was wondering if he was too sensitive?

Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier on duty outside the door suddenly broke in from outside. He said in a bit of a panic: "Oh no, a large number of Burmese are rushing towards this side!" ”

……

Yang Yibing reported to Huang Ke in his office about the recent work.

Because he is both the pre-cadre department and the General Administration of Integrity, his work report is also divided into two parts. One is the current intelligence work of various countries, which includes not only intelligence on Japan, but also information on a series of regimes such as Wang Puppet, the Soviet Union, Britain, the United States, and even the Republic of Korea's government-in-exile in Shanghai.

The other is the work of clean government. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a clean government must always be unremittingly grasped, and once corruption is discovered, it will also be strictly investigated and dealt with. Yang Yibing reported on a series of clean government situations from central ministries and commissions to localities at all levels, from the armed forces to the police, the government, and enterprises, and also reported on some cases that have recently been investigated and dealt with and are about to be investigated and dealt with.

After listening to his report, Huang Ke said: "Well, you have done a good job, you have worked hard." ”

As he spoke, Huang Ke picked up the kettle in front of him and personally refilled Yang Yibing's teacup. When Yang Yibing saw this, he hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to help.

After Huang Ke finished pouring the water, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Volunteer soldier, you and I have worked together for twenty years, right?" ”

"It's been almost 22 years since I first participated in the trade group training." Yang Yibing stood up and said with a glass of water in both hands.

"Twenty-two years! During the Great Revolution, you and I were both high-spirited young people, but now our temples are gray. Huang Ke suddenly sighed.

"Yes, I still remember the scene when we were lectured by Mr. Zhongshan in Xiguan. The general trend of the world is mighty; Those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it perish'. Yang Yibing casually recited what Sun Yat-sen said, and his face was full of vitality.

Huang Ke nodded: "Our revolution has not come easily, from Wuchang City to the Northern Expedition, and then to the current War of Resistance, now we have a scale that has begun to take shape on the basis of the beginning, but we also have to think and plan for the next ten years or even longer." ”

Yang Yibing listened carefully and did not express his opinion, he knew that Huang Ke should have a new plan.

Huang Ke continued: "The pattern of the war is now clear, and after the United States enters the war against Japan and Germany, it is only a matter of time before fascism falls. How will the post-war order be planned? There will definitely be some disagreements between the United States and the Soviet Union. I can't think about overseas territory, after all, the strength of our navy is there, and the territory we occupy can't be defended, but we still have to be optimistic about this one-third of an acre of land in front of us. ”

Yang Yibing stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean, sir?" ”

"You can now set up a section in your pre-dry office to focus on places like Myanmar, the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam. Of particular importance right now is Myanmar. I have heard reports from the troops on the front line that the Burma Independence Army, which is supported by the Japanese army, has grown in size, and it seems that Burma's independence is a major trend after the war. Not only that, but independence movements will be set off in many places after the war, and what we need to do is to seize the opportunity. ”

Yang Yibing had already understood that Huang Ke meant that the Reserve Cadre Department would infiltrate forces here in the future.

"The Japanese don't engage in secret dealings, they directly took Aung San to Japan for training, and even awarded him the rank of Dazuo and gave him a Japanese name. You can also use the expeditionary force as an opportunity to cultivate some people close to us in Burma, and even go directly to win over Aung San himself. This is also a side plan for the military operation of the expeditionary force in Burma. ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he didn't leave Yang Yibing a chance to express his position, and after he said it, he said directly: "I still have some things here, if you have something, go back first." ”

Yang Yibing naturally understood. After asking Huang Ke for instructions, he got up and went out. After returning that day, he convened a special meeting on the situation in Burma and, on the basis of relevant research, decided to liaise with the expeditionary force and send a working group to Burma.

Of course, before that, all the situation still had to be reported to Huang Ke for instructions, waiting for his final approval.

After Huang Ke got this document, he naturally approved his plan and praised Yang Yibing's high efficiency. This is not Huang Ke's deliberate rhetoric, but in his impression, Yang Yibing is indeed a person who can please his superiors and is extremely efficient, so he is very relieved every time he explains things to him.

Three days later, Yang Yibing reported to Huang Ke again, this time bringing with him a list of people who had been sent to Burma.

Such a list is selected by the Reserve Cadres Division at various levels, and many aspects such as political examination and personal ability have been checked at various levels, so naturally there is no need to doubt it. What's more, Huang Ke didn't know these people, and sending him such a list was originally just a routine.

Huang Ke also knew about this situation, and casually flipped through the list, but as he flipped through it, he saw a familiar name in it, could it really be him?
