Early the next morning, Xie Xuan went to the first camp.
It was still the same as last night. When people arrived at the first camp, nearby villagers brought two fat pigs. The new staff officer Xie from the regiment headquarters wanted to treat all the brothers in the camp to drinks.
The next day, Xie Xuan went to the second camp, and there were also two pigs.
On the third day, before Xie Xuan arrived at the third battalion, the officers of the third battalion arrived at the battalion headquarters.
"Barracks, when will Staff Xie come?"
"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything in the morning. I'm just waiting for the braised pork at noon."
"You just didn't eat in the morning. I didn't eat last night."
…
Xie Xuan used a few pigs to quickly make himself the most popular person in the Sixth Regiment.
Xie Xuan was at the regiment headquarters and met with all the officers of the regiment above the company level.
When you arrive at the battalion headquarters, you will meet with officers above the platoon level.
When the car arrived at the headquarters of the Third Battalion, the sentry saw his car and immediately rushed in to report it.
Soon, Zhou Songqing came out with the officers of the third battalion.
After Xie Xuan got out of the car, Zhou Songqing walked over:
"Welcome Staff Officer Xie to inspect the Third Battalion."
Xie Xuan repeatedly handed over his hands: "Don't dare, you are all seniors, I am still a new recruit, I will learn more from you brothers in the future."
In front of Gong Jingang, he would salute, and in front of the people below, he would clasp his fists as brothers.
"Staff Xie is approachable, but you must not be rude. Staff Xie, let me introduce you to a brother from the third battalion. This is the battalion deputy..."
Xie Xuan greeted them one by one. Regarding the third battalion, he only paid attention to two people. One was Jin Xiong, the commander of the seventh company, whom he had met at the regiment headquarters the day before yesterday.
The other one is Xiao Yuantao, deputy platoon leader of the second platoon of the seventh company, a comrade of our party who broke into the third battalion.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, brothers above the company level, we all met at the regiment headquarters two days ago. Hello, Company Commander Jin."
Xie Xuan's super memory came into play at this time.
As long as he met each other, he could not only call out their names, but also their positions. One was good and the other was not messed up.
"Staff Xie has taken great care of our brothers, and everyone can support Staff Xie's work in the future."
All the officers said repeatedly: "Definitely."
Next, Zhou Songqing introduced Xie Xuan to the officers at the platoon level.
When Xiao Yuantao, who was in the second platoon of the Seventh Company, was introduced, Xie Xuan took a special look at him.
Xiao Yuantao has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is tall and has piercing eyes. He looks very wise.
"Hello, Platoon Leader Xiao."
"I've met Staff Officer Xie."
Xiao Yuantao was secretly surprised. The way Xie Xuan looked at him seemed a little different, with a smile and goodwill.
Although I don’t know why, I still deal with it calmly.
When the two shook hands, Xiao Yuantao felt that Xie Xuan's hand was holding his tightly, very powerfully.
Xie Xuan brought several boxes of cigarettes from Shenpu and filled the trunk.
In the army, cigarettes are sometimes more important than food.
Tobacco, wine, and meat are Xie Xuan's three magic weapons for communication.
During the meal, naturally Zhou Songqing and several company commanders accompanied Xie Xuan.
At the wine table, Xie Xuan would rather drink more than talk too much.
You can get a lot of information by listening to them talk.
For example, they talked about Hu Hai.
"Commander Xie, Director Hu from the Political Department, do you have anything to do with the Sixth Regiment?"
After Zhou Songqing drank too much, he talked more. After having a drink with Xie Xuan, he asked under the influence of wine.
Xie Xuan asked back: "I'm not familiar with him. I only met him once after coming to the Sixth Regiment. Have you heard anything?"
Zhou Songqing did not shy away and said directly: "What does the Political Department do? I suspect he is here to investigate someone."
As soon as these words came out, the other officers of the third battalion were stunned.
Jin Xiong slapped the table and cursed: "It's okay for him to come to check, but don't come to the Third Battalion, let alone the Seventh Company. I just said that I don't like him, it turns out he's here to cause trouble."
People in the army don't like politics the most. They just want to carry guns and fight, eat meat and drink wine.
Jin Xiong's scolding resonated with others.
"Next time he comes to the Third Battalion, fight him out!"
"If he dares to come to Sixth Company, we won't let him in!"
Xie Xuan advised: "Don't get excited, everyone. You can't offend people in the Political Department casually. Your future promotions will need approval from the Political Department."
Xie Xuan was in the First and Second Battalions and heard them mention Hu Hai.
These officers did not have a good impression of the people in the Political Department.
I always feel that people in the political department have bad intentions, especially a newcomer like Hu Hai who likes to wander around looking for people to talk to, which is even more disgusting.
Xie Xuan was secretly grateful. If he hadn't had the idea to change his identity, he would have been unable to move forward in the Sixth Regiment.
This meal was drunk from noon to evening, and was eaten with two meals at once.
Although Xie Xuan has a good drinking capacity, he is still a little behind this group of Qiubabi.
When I went back, I was staggering when I walked. When I sat in the car, I couldn't even hold the key.
Finally, Zhou Songqing persuaded him to rest in the third camp.
Xie Xuan didn't refuse, Zhou Songqing arranged a camp bed for him, and he fell asleep.
Xiao Yuantao didn't drink much, he just ate meat. After all, his status required him to stay awake at all times.
Two fat pigs, eaten in one meal, will not be so rich even during the New Year.
From lunch to evening, he was full.
After I got back, I just wanted to sleep.
When taking off his clothes, he touched his pocket out of habit. Suddenly, he was stunned. There was a note in his pocket.
Xiao Yuantao opened the note and after seeing the contents clearly, he broke into a cold sweat and became sober in an instant.
"Hu Hai and Xie Xuan from the Sixth Regiment are the directors of the Second and Fourth Divisions of the Secret Service. They are both here to investigate the activities of the underground party. Be especially careful with them, especially Xie Xuan - Bicycle."
At the end of the note, he also drew a simple bicycle and wrote the time, place and password for the next contact.
Time: Before dawn the next morning after receiving the information.
Location: Under the locust tree behind the third camp headquarters.
Code: The gun went off.
At the same time, Bicycle also asked him to report on the progress of his current work, as well as possible problems and difficulties.
Xiao Yuantao has received the latest instructions from the Pudong Working Committee two days ago. Comrades will contact him in the near future with the code name: Bicycle.
But Xiao Yuantao didn't know who this bicycle was.
Now it seems that the bicycle is in the third camp.
He came into contact with many people today. Who put the note in his pocket?
Xiao Yuantao carefully thought about the people he met today, but he still had no impression.
But there is one thing that can be queued up. This bicycle is definitely not Xie Xuan's.
Otherwise, the bicycle would not specifically remind me to be careful with Xie Xuan.
No wonder Xie Xuan bought meat and wine as soon as he came. It turned out that he was secretly investigating the Communist Party.
From this point of view, Xie Xuan is more insidious than Hu Hai.
Xie Xuan woke up in the middle of the night. He always stayed alert when sleeping in a strange place.
Even though he drank a lot today, he was not completely drunk.
The reason why he couldn't hold the key and drive the car was because he didn't want others to suspect that he didn't drink enough.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has to get Xiao Yuantao's information.
