The sugar plan was a secret plan formulated by Dai Li himself and approved by Supreme Commander Chiang Kai-shek.
Being able to tell Xie Xuan this plan shows how much Dai Li trusts him.
When Xie Xuan received the telegram from Shancheng, he didn't think it was anything special. It was just a more advanced latent plan.
High-level things are beyond his reach for the time being, and he can only do some low-level basic things.
Moreover, with one more contact person, his security will be reduced by one point.
The person working on the Sugar Project can contact Mr. Wang directly, and the Japanese will also take him seriously. But who do you think you are?
Of course, that person probably wouldn't care about him either.
A latent member of the military command, the operations director of the Secret Service, would not be able to catch anyone's eyes at all.
During this period of time, Xie Xuan's main focus was on writing the "Handbook for Staff Behind Enemy Lines".
This booklet combines Xie Xuan's work in the Military Command and the Secret Service Department, as well as some information about his training, and is specially compiled for the staff of Jiqing Teahouse.
To be precise, it was written for Gu Jiahan.
When Gu Jiahan saw this booklet, he was immediately attracted.
The "Manual for Staff Behind Enemy Lines" is written in standard Song font, as if it were printed. Only when you look closely can you see that it was written directly.
The first thing that attracted her was the beautiful handwriting.
Secondly, it’s the content above.
The nature, methods, and conditions of personnel working behind enemy lines:
1. Firm political stance, 2. Absolute loyalty, 3. Must be an excellent agent, 4. Good at communication and good at dancing. 5. Looks more loyal, 6. has a kind personality, does not compete with others, and tolerates what others cannot tolerate. 7. Not reserved, not competitive, not willing to be vain, not interested in fame and fortune, not willing to smoke, drink, whore or gamble. 8. Be bold and alert, alert and calm. 9. Be in good health and be able to do the hardest and most tiring work, even at night. Can talk in sleep. 10. Judgment, understanding and memory must be particularly good
Gu Jiahan responded one by one, and her political stance must be firm. There is no doubt about this.
Since you have a firm political stance, you must be absolutely loyal.
She hesitated for a long time about items 3 and 4.
It should be said that she is not an excellent agent, not even a qualified agent.
As for communication, she is good at dancing and can build good relationships with kind people, but she cannot do it with scoundrels, gangsters, or traitors and spies.
Article 5. She looks beautiful, cute, and kind, which seems to have something to do with loyalty.
Article 6 can barely be achieved, unless Xie Xuan made an unreasonable request and asked her to cook, which was a small revenge.
Item 7 is basically doable, item 8 is okay, and item 9 is definitely possible.
As for item 10, it’s not particularly good, but it’s not bad either.
So, as a staff member behind enemy lines, she can score a 7... a 6 should be enough, right?
She gave herself a score of 7 or 6 because she actually knew that she might fail. Giving such a high score was purely self-comfort and self-deception.
She originally thought that as long as she worked in the teahouse every day, she would be considered a good worker behind enemy lines.
But after reading the above requirements, she realized that she was still far from being a qualified worker behind enemy lines.
At least, she's not really an agent yet.
As for the requirements and abilities of agents, the manual lists several points:
First, you must be able to endure hardships and stand hard work, because spy work behind enemy lines is destined to be practical, low-level, and long-term. If you cannot endure hardships and stand hard work, you will definitely not be able to take the job. Therefore, some flashy rich kids are not included in this list.
Gu Jiahan feels that she can do it. This can be seen from her performance in Jiqing Teahouse.
Second, have an innovative spirit. Agents must have an innovative spirit, because agent work is dynamic and changing, not rigid and stagnant.
Therefore, we must embrace the spirit of innovation anytime and anywhere and find solutions to conflicts.
For example, if you have the opportunity to come into contact with enemy personnel, you should try your best to build a good relationship with the enemy on the basis of adhering to your principles. Don't be afraid of being wronged. No matter how great the grievance is, it is better than a soldier bleeding and dying on the battlefield.
At the same time, spy work is very difficult and most likely to fail halfway.
We cannot be discouraged because of failure. We must work hard with a great creative spirit. If we fail once, we will try it twice, and if we fail twice, we will try it three times... even ten or a hundred times, and we will not give up until we achieve our goal.
Gu Jiahan understands this very well. In her interaction with Xie Xuan, she did not try her best to build a good relationship.
He even took advantage of Xie Xuan's good impression of him and acted like a child. The dishes she cooked for Xie Xuan either added more salt or no salt. If Xie Xuan became angry and took revenge on himself and Jiqing Tea House, then his work would be a complete failure.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiahan felt very regretful.
If she is given another chance, she will perform well.
She set a principle for herself that she could be friends with Xie Xuan, but only as ordinary friends. We have to find a way to make Xie Xuan give up, completely.
Third, be brave, calm, and sacrificial. Nine times out of ten, spy work is risky, so agents must be bold and careful, charming and judgmental, and must not be timid or hesitant.
It must not be used by those who are careless, bold, and impetuous.
When Gu Jiahan saw this, his heart moved. Was he too impetuous last time?
Fourth, enthusiasm and responsibility. Agents must absolutely use reason to control emotions, but the use of reason must be based on the organization as the center of the starting point to achieve true enthusiasm and responsibility.
If you focus on the individual, except for what is beneficial to you, you will be cold and irresponsible, which is not suitable for agent work.
Seeing this, Gu Jiahan's face became hot. She once again discovered that she had made a big mistake in handling her relationship with Xie Xuan.
She is willful and willful, without considering whether the organization may be in danger.
If Xie Xuan vents his anger on her, how much harm will it bring to the organization?
Fortunately, Xie Xuan didn't pay attention, but he must be careful next time.
Fifth, be physically and mentally sound. Agents must have a strong and great physique. Those who are cunning and scheming are all discarded.
Regarding this, Gu Jiahan thinks there is no problem.
In addition, the manual also lists some people who cannot be agents:
First, they do not have thorough political understanding and firm political beliefs; second, they are unable to keep secrets, but are vain and pushy; third, they have a particularly deep view of money; fourth, they have developed the habit of bureaucracy or corruption.
Fifth, anyone who obliterates the objective actual situation based on personal emotions and subjectivity is actually a selfish person.
Gu Jiahan's face felt a little hot. She felt the last bit. Why was she insinuating herself again?
