The next day, Chongqing Consulate in Yanjin Office.
Qiao Mucai sat behind his desk and said, "Xinyu, I've made the office so orderly in such a short period of time. It's really hard for you!"
Jiang Xinyu lowered his hands and stood in awe, and said respectfully: "You have given me the award. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. The students just did their duty!"
Qiao Mucai nodded and said: "Please arrange the time, I want to meet Uchida Ginnosuke tomorrow!"
"yes!"
"Has the radio station been set up?"
"Okay, the dispatcher is on standby."
"Yanjin Station has been hit hard in recent years. We need more manpower. If there are suitable candidates, we might as well recommend one or two."
"Uh... Lei Ban, a temporary field worker, is a native of Yanjin. I think such a person may be of use."
"I have read this person's information. He has not received special agent training and is not suitable for the intelligence department... Let's transfer him to the general logistics department first and be responsible for procurement and other tasks, and then it depends on the situation!
"
Qiao Mu made this arrangement to give Jiang Xinyu some face. Otherwise, in terms of ability, the most suitable place for Lei Ban would be the police station.
"Webmaster, when will the reception be carried out?"
"The higher-ups are still having meetings to study it. The national army is beyond their reach, so the Third Corps of the U.S. Navy will temporarily take it over on their behalf. They have now set off from Okinawa and are expected to arrive in Yanjin next month."
"Then... when will the national army arrive?"
"The Ninety-fourth Army is gathering, but the various units are dispersed, so at this time... no one can say for sure now. In the end, I am afraid that we will still need the help of the Americans."
Qiao Mucai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said: "Xinyu, we don't need to worry about these things. The original intention of establishing the office is to prevent the Communist Army from taking advantage of the troubled waters!"
"I received news from Uchida yesterday that the vanguard of the Communist Army occupied Huanggang, Jingxian, and the towns outside Yanjin. What if they attack Yanjin?"
"The national government has given Uchida special authority. If the Communist army dares to attack Yanjin, the Japanese army can fight back with force! I will go to see Uchida tomorrow to discuss this matter!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
"Xinyu, don't worry, you sit down first." Qiao Mu stopped Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu sat on the sofa and said, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Qiao Muchai: "Eight years of bloody battle have led to today's victory. You, me, and everyone who contributed to the Anti-Japanese War are qualified to enjoy this honor. Have you considered your future?"
Jiang Xinyu immediately stood up and said: "Students are members of the party and state, so we don't dare to have any selfish thoughts!"
Qiao Mucai smiled and waved his hand and said: "Sit down, sit down, I'm not asking you to take bribes and bend the law. Why are you nervous?"
After a pause, Qiao Mucai continued: "Xinyu, you are the student I taught first-hand, and you are also the best one among my many students! Originally, the headquarters wanted to transfer you to Zhejiang. After all, that is your hometown, and it is me.
I beg Director Dai to let you stay in Yanjin. I didn’t ask for your consent for this matter. You won’t blame me, right?”
"Webmaster, it's too late for students to express gratitude to you for your cultivation. How can I blame you?"
Qiao Mucai nodded with satisfaction and said: "A single thread cannot make a thread, and a single tree cannot make a forest. The so-called good man needs the help of others. You are my student, and I will not treat you badly in the future!"
“Thank you, webmaster, for your cultivation!”
"Back then, in order to allow you to lurk better, as a stop-gap measure, the headquarters allowed you to date Hattori Mina until they got married. Judging from the results, this was a very clever move!"
"Webmaster, I..."
"Listen to what I have to say first... Xinyu, if you want to have a better future, your marriage must be reconsidered!"
"What...what do you mean?"
"Now is the era of great wife-swapping. It's nothing new for the Anti-War Lady to be replaced by the Victory Wife. Your Japanese wife should also be changed!"
Jiang Xinyu stood up again and said: "Stationmaster, I will listen to you on other matters, but on this matter... I forgive the students for being unable to obey!"
Qiao Mucai sighed and said: "I know that you and Hattori Mina must have feelings for each other, but she is a Japanese after all, and this status will hinder your future! What's more, I heard
Say, you personally killed her brother Hattori Hikoo, under such circumstances, how could she be of the same mind as you?"
Seeing Jiang Xinyu's silence, Qiao Mu said: "I'm not forcing you to break up your marriage. I'm doing it for your own good. Do you understand?"
"I'm sorry, webmaster, I can't do this."
"Well, think about it again. You have only been married for more than a month. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. As a man, you should break off when it's time to break up. You must not delay your bright future for the sake of your children's love!"
…………
Back in the office, Jiang Xinyu sat blankly for a long time.
It wasn't that he was shaken by Qiao Muchai's words, but that after returning home from Donglaishun yesterday, Hattori Mina's mood seemed to have hit rock bottom again, and she locked herself in the room and refused to say a word.
“Tuk-tuk!”
Lei Ban knocked on the door twice, walked in with a newspaper in his hand, and said, "Xinyu, are you busy?"
Jiang Xinyu looked at him and said, "Why are you here?"
Lei Ban sat down on the sofa and said, "I was passing by and came to see you."
Jiang Xinyu: "Passing by? Did you hear something?"
Lei Pen smiled and said: "If you didn't say that we are brothers, you would have guessed what I was thinking at once! Hey, I heard that Representative Qiao sent from Chongqing is your teacher?"
"If you have long ears, where did you find out the gossip?"
"Don't worry about the narrow roads, right?"
"Well, that's right."
"Okay, Lao Huang is quite interesting, he really didn't lie to me!"
Jiang Xinyu reached for the newspaper brought by Lei Ban, browsed it casually, and said: "I really didn't see that you and Lao Huang could get together..."
Lei Ban chuckled and said: "Actually, I understand everything. Without your face, how could Lao Huang have time to talk to me!"
"I asked you about your matter."
“What did Representative Joe say?”
"You can come to the office to start work officially tomorrow."
"Really? Great!"
"Why don't you ask, what is the specific job?"
"Yeah, what kind of work do you want me to do?"
"General logistics affairs, responsible for the daily purchasing of the office. How about this job?"
"That's great, I'm suitable for this! Xinyu, am I officially established as a military commander, right?...Xinyu, Xinyu, what do you want me to ask you?"
Jiang Xinyu did not answer Lei Ban. He was shocked by a brief message in the newspaper: ... Soviet army looting incidents occurred one after another. Recently, on the streets of Harbin, General Lu Qiusheng, who had just returned to China, was brutally killed by Soviet soldiers at the age of 37...
