Chapter 796
Unlike Ji Menghan's expectations, her superiors did not show any doubts or worries when they heard the news, but instead seemed quite happy. This made Ji Menghan a little surprised, but she was also relieved by the attitude of her superiors.
One of the reasons why Ji Menghan's superiors are so happy is related to Wang Wenwu. Since the explosion of the military command building, the military command has launched an even more frantic arrest operation against personnel in Shaanxi. Although the organizational structure of the Shaanxi side is still in place, there are still some people who have been caught. Fortunately, the Shaanxi side adopted a single-line contact, and it was able to withdraw personnel in time and cut off the contact, which did not cause too much trouble to the Shaanxi side.
However, such an operation has made the Shaanxi side in a state of short-staffing in Beiping City. Now, Ji Menghan has succeeded in convincing her husband to join the revolutionary cause, and her superiors are naturally happy about it.
In addition, Ji Menghan's husband is not just one person, behind him is an experienced team that has been rooted in Beiping City for many years. With a little understanding, they can jump right into the work, and that's great.
However, this problem is also obvious, that is, Wang Wenwu's subordinates must trust Ji Menghan more, which makes those men not so easy to be commanded by others. If Ji Menghan was just an ordinary intelligence officer, this problem might not be so serious. But Ji Menghan is not, she is an important radio station in Beiping City, Shaanxi, and her status and role make this problem even more complicated.
Ji Menghan's superior said, "I agreed to this first. As for how to use this centaur, I'll have to discuss it with my superiors before I can make a decision! Also, I would like to ask one more question off topic. If these people are caught, will they confess to you?"
Ji Menghan actually thought about this problem on the way here. The final answer is no. As for the reason, Ji Menghan didn't know why he felt that these people were caught by the enemy, and he wouldn't deal with him. Maybe it's just the trust in Wang Wenwu!
Ji Menghan's superior said, "I know, there will be news then. I'll tell you again."
Seeing Ji Menghan leave, his superiors hurriedly took action. Now in the underground front in Beiping City, the lack of manpower has affected the completion of the task.
Ji Menghan only received the news a few days later that she became the leader of her husband's people. In the past, because Ji Menghan was an important radio station, except for the liaison officer and the people who protected the station, most of them acted alone.
It is the first time for Ji Menghan to be able to command so many people at this moment.
Ji Menghan, who received the exact news and task, called Guo Bao over. said: "This is our first task, to find a way to figure out the situation of the Zhangjiakou garrison!"
Ji Menghan knows that Guo Bao has always been Wang Wenwu's right-hand man, and has followed him for many years, so he can be called Wang Wenwu's confidant. Wang Wenwu has been able to wander in Beiping City for many years, and presumably the ability of this henchman should not be underestimated.
However, although Guo Bao was quite polite to Ji Menghan and Ji Jiacan, Ji Menghan did not have a good impression of this partner. This is not because Guo Bao sneered at her, or other similar behavior.
The problem is that no matter what he does, Guo Bao always behaves politely and politely. In a way, this attitude is really good. But for those partners who are about to entrust their lives to each other, always getting along with each other politely makes it feel like they are not like a team, but more like a relationship between strangers.
Ji Menghan had tried to get Guo Bao to better integrate into her and Ji Jiacan's small group, but their efforts didn't seem to have any effect. Guo Bao still maintained his politeness and sense of distance, which made Ji Menghan and Ji Jiacan feel a little frustrated. They don't understand why Guo Bao can't be more open and truly be their partner.
Despite this, Ji Menghan did not give up. She decided to continue to look for a suitable way to better integrate Guo Bao into their team and work together for the revolutionary cause. She believes that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome this difficulty and establish a true partnership.
In fact, not only Ji Menghan felt very awkward during this time, but Guo Bao was the same.
Guo Bao didn't know how to chat with Ji Menghan every time, she
can talk about the topic to their own family. Guo Bao doesn't like to talk about his family with others.
This may be because Guo Bao has done too many unsightly things for Wang Wenwu. There are too many things that Guo Bao has come forward to deal with. As a target set up by the master, Guo Bao wanted not to endanger his family. Always hide your family well.
Especially Guo Bao's grandchildren, even the old man may not know where they are. At least it won't be like his former captain of the guard, who let the master turn people out overnight.
In order to avoid an embarrassing situation, Guo Bao tried not to talk about his family with Ji Menghan. However, Ji Menghan didn't seem to be aware of Guo Bao's troubles, and she still led the topic to Guo Bao's family from time to time, which made Guo Bao feel even more embarrassed.
In general, after getting along for the past few days, the relationship between Ji Menghan and Guo Bao can only be regarded as a relatively familiar stranger.
Considering Guo Bao's attitude towards himself at the beginning, Ji Menghan decided to discuss it with Ji Jiacan, and when it was time to assign tasks, one of them would sing red face and the other white face, so as to inspire Guo Bao to show more ability, and at the same time test where his bottom line is.
The reason is that no matter how Ji Menghan asked, Guo Bao did not reveal specific information about how much help Wang Wenwu could provide, and where the limits of his abilities were. Guo Bao just repeatedly said that the things he could handle would be handled by himself, and the things that could not be handled would be reported to Wang Wenwu and solved by Wang Wenwu.
Ji Jiacan didn't know what the family status of the other underground workers was, but at present, Ji Menghan's family atmosphere seemed a little strange.
The relationship between the couple is not so much that of intimate couples as of acquaintances who live under the same roof. They are simply fulfilling their respective obligations in the name of husband and wife, and lack real emotional communication and understanding.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and Ji Menghan's family problems are indeed difficult to intervene. Ji Jiacan followed the instructions of his superiors and decided to follow Ji Menghan's command.
Ji Menghan was the first to speak, and without waiting for Guo Bao to answer, Ji Jiacan immediately said, "Sister Ji, why did you assign us such a difficult task from the beginning. If it can't be done, won't it cause trouble for the troops?"
After Ji Jiacan finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Guo Bao, as if telling Guo Bao that what he just said was Guo Bao's problem. It had been several days since they had been asked, and no matter how much they asked, Guo Bao was reluctant to reveal the scope of his ability, which made Ji Jiacan feel a little annoyed. If this task does fail, it could have serious consequences.
Guo Bao didn't show any reaction when he heard Ji Jiacan's words, as if he didn't hear his questioning. He turned directly to Ji Menghan and asked, "Then what is the time requirement for this mission?"
Ji Menghan replied: "The mission needs to be completed as soon as possible, and if there is a change in the situation of the southern government army, we must know it as soon as possible, so that the information can be transmitted as soon as possible."
Guo Bao thought for a while and replied, "I understand, it probably won't take more than three days, and Aunt Ji should receive specific news."
Ji Jiacan's eyes widened on the side, and he stretched out three fingers to Guo Bao and shouted, "Three days? You're not kidding, are you? You're not an officer of the North China Suppression Headquarters, and in three days, you won't even be able to enter the gate of the headquarters, let alone get that document!"
Ji Jiacan's questioning was by no means pretentious, he had been here with Ji Menghan for almost half a year. Although he has never participated in the mission of stealing intelligence, because Ji Menghan is in charge of the most important radio station in Beiping City, Ji Jiacan also knows a lot of important information from Shaanxi in Beiping City.
From the order issued by the superior to the time the intelligence was sent back through Ji Menghan, under normal circumstances, the time required in the middle was almost nearly a month. As Guo Bao said, the intelligence can be obtained within three days, and that is only a speed that can only be achieved under the special circumstance that the intelligence happens to pass through the hands of the intelligence personnel.
However, Guo Bao is now acting like an idle uncle, where does he have the confidence to boast that he can get information within three days?
Guo Bao said confidently, "Don't worry, you just need to know that I will definitely get something in three days."
Ji Jiacan sneered and said, "You
Thought I didn't know anything? Don't tell me you have an inside line in the headquarters, in which case I'll laugh my big teeth off!"
Although Ji Menghan also felt that it was a little difficult to complete the task in three days, this was their first mission after all. She opened her mouth to persuade, "Master Leopard, in fact, there is no need to set the time so tightly. Safety is the most important thing, so if there's anything you need help from our side, please don't hesitate to let us know."
Ji Jiacan didn't understand why Guo Bao dared to say that he could get the documents in three days, he was worried that Guo Bao would make reckless moves due to the pressure of time. So, he advised, "Don't be too pushy, tell us what you can do to help, and we'll see what we can do." After all the considerations, we can come up with a feasible plan."
Guo Bao said confidently: "You don't have to worry, I'm going out to contact now, you can just wait for the news honestly at home."
After Guo Bao finished speaking, he got up and planned to leave. But Ji Menghan stopped and said, "Don't you really need our help?"
Guo Bao waved his hand and said, "Aunt Ji, this matter. You don't even need to tell the master, I can help you get it!"
Ji Menghan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Ji Jiacan.
Ji Jiacan said, "Look at his appearance, what are you still stopping him from? Instead of thinking about waiting for him to get the information in three days, it is better to think about how to clean up the mess he made when the time comes! Especially you, or we won't be able to complete our current mission and the radio will be lost!"
Facing what Ji Jiacan said, Ji Menghan felt that something was right. But what Guo Bao represents now is her husband's face. So he said, "You and I have never done anything about how to get information. If this is in our hands. I don't have a clue at all. Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. Guo Bao has been in Beiping City for so many years, since he is so confident. Anyway, it won't take more than three days, so why wait for these three days!"
Ji Jiacan now feels that Ji Menghan and Wang Wenwu are a bit like husband and wife.
But he still said, "What if it doesn't work out and I give you out?"
Ji Menghan said with a smile on her face, "Then you can rest assured. The military commanders will never find me!"
Ji Jiacan really wanted to ask Ji Menghan, why are you so sure? But after thinking about it, her husband hid from the military command and hid for more than half a year, wasn't he found out? What's more, there is still a large family, and now with a Ji Menghan, it is really not troublesome at all. Ji Jiacan felt that he was ready to transfer.
The day passed quickly, and the next day arrived. Ji Menghan can still be leisurely, looking at the nonsense in the newspaper and drinking jasmine tea. Fortunately, when the new tea was launched at the beginning of the year, Ji Menghan hoarded a lot.
Now at the end of the year, the battle line is approaching Beiping City. Everything in the market is on the strain. Even tea. Ji Menghan used to order dim sum shops, because there were fewer raw materials, he couldn't make much in a day, and now except for a few old customers. Individual customers outside can't buy it at all.
Ji Jiacan was restless, and his luggage had already been packed and put in the corner. Brought the gun and dismantled it and cleaned it up several times! Looking at Ji Menghan's unhurried movements, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Ji Jiacan said, "Sister Ji, are we just waiting? Don't you even go out to inquire about the situation? If Guo Bao misses, let's run early? It's not like we won't save us when we die, but we've persuaded people not to listen before, what can we do? Good words are hard to convince damn ghosts. He brought it on himself, and it has nothing to do with us!"
Ji Menghan put down the newspaper and said unhurriedly, "Do you still need to inquire about this? Not to mention the military on the streets, even the police are not much more. Do you look like someone has caused a catastrophe?"
Ji Jiacan said, "Then let's sit here. Wait for the news to come to fruition!"
Ji Menghan said, "Then do you have any other way?"
Ji Jiacan snorted coldly. "I don't know what he's going to do. He's trying to prevent us. He doesn't trust us!"
Ji Menghan said, "Then do you trust him?"
Ji Jiacan couldn't speak, and finally got up and said, "I'm back in the room
!」
The current situation was what Ji Menghan had expected before, thinking that he had only worked together once. Together, the situation will change for the better. But what Ji Menghan didn't expect was that Guo Bao was still the same as before, not saying anything, only saying when things could be done. Just let yourself and Ji Jiacan wait here.
