Gu Jiahan sent a message to Xie Xuan, but she could only see the code every time. She couldn't remember the code book, so she could only pretend to be blind.
There is nothing you can do about it. Talent cannot be cultivated.
Even if Gu Jiahan tried his best to memorize it, there was no guarantee that he would be able to remember it 100%.
She often laughs at herself. As a telegraph operator, she is the one with the least sense of participation.
As a telegraph operator, her task was to send and receive telegrams, and she knew nothing about the contents of the telegrams.
She is Xie Xuan's subordinate and cannot interfere with the contents of the telegram.
But this time, Xie Xuan told her about the telegram: "Tomorrow, people from the Juntong Shenpu Station will come to Nantong. You have to go to the dead mailbox and put some information in it."
"Where is the dead mailbox?"
"Located in Xiaozifang."
"What mission do they have when they come to Nantong?"
Xie Xuan said: "Zou Zhengji, the commander of the Seventh Column of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Column of the Kuomintang Army, wants to take refuge with the Wang Puppet... No, it should be that he wants to take refuge with me, the director of Qingxiang, North Jiangsu."
When talking about the latter part, Xie Xuan laughed.
It is indeed very difficult for the Kuomintang army in the rear. They do not have relations with the common people. The army must either rely on its own procurement or rely on irregular supplies from mountain towns. It can live a life of hunger and fullness.
Moreover, the Japanese army often carried out raids, which not only made their lives poor, but also often put their lives in danger.
If they join the Japanese and puppets, their situation will be improved immediately, at least they won't have to go to the battlefield.
Gu Jiahan asked: "So, you are going to send your men to get rid of him?"
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "What's the use of getting rid of Zou Zhengji? I'll report to the City Ministry of Industry first to see if there is any of ours in the third column, and then report to the Mountain City Military Command Bureau. If Zou Zhengji defected, he would definitely not Have a good life.”
Zou Zhengji's role is to control the seventh column.
"How did your family respond?"
Xie Xuan said: "I haven't replied yet. How many telegrams did you send and receive at night? You don't know how many?"
Gu Jiahan responded a little aggrievedly: "Oh."
She admitted that her memory was not as good as Xie Xuan's. Xie Xuan did send several telegrams tonight, but she missed them.
Xie Xuan said softly: "Go to rest early, we have a heavy task tomorrow."
Xie Xuan was actually not worried about the actions of Zou Zhengji and Juntong. What he was really worried about was Liu Jing.
Placing Liu Jing in the Chief Office of Qingxiang, Northern Jiangsu, and also arranging to serve as deputy director of the Confidentiality Division, is equivalent to placing a time bomb next to her that can explode at any time.
Liu Jing also knew that Zou Zhengji came to Nantong. If Zou Zhengji died in Nantong, Liu Jing would definitely have suspicions.
Xie Xuan actually wanted to use Zou Zhengji to come to Nantong to test Liu Jing.
At night, Xie Xuan kept rehearsing tomorrow's scene in his mind. All the steps could not be wrong. He had no chance of trial and error and had to complete it in one go.
The next day, Xie Xuan still woke up on time. Although he went to bed very late, his biological clock still woke him up on time.
"Here are your tasks today, and what to pay attention to."
Xie Xuan took out a note and handed it to Gu Jiahan.
These were all the possible things that he thought about at night, including situations that Gu Jiahan might encounter and how she would deal with it if she encountered an unexpected situation.
Gu Jiahan said: "Okay, I'll cook the noodles. You can eat them before leaving."
Not only did she cook the noodles, but she also fried an egg, feeling like a little daughter-in-law making breakfast for her husband.
Seeing Xie Xuan eating with gusto, Gu Jiahan felt a sense of accomplishment.
"It's delicious, thank you. After you read it, burn the note. Today's operation seems to be harmless, but we can't take it lightly. If an accident occurs, it will affect the entire operation."
"If there's an emergency, I'd better call you, right?"
They had agreed on a secret code for contacting each other, a code that only they knew.
"You can call me, or you can come to the office directly to see me. Who else in Nantong dares to stop you?"
Gu Jiahan smiled and said: "It feels a bit like the King of Nantong. In that case, why should I be careful and cautious?"
Xie Xuan said sternly: "Sail the ship with care and never take it lightly. Details determine success or failure. Sometimes an unintentional move can determine victory or defeat."
He was in Nantong, and no one except Xiao Linjue could control him.
Xiao Linjue usually stays in the military camp and doesn't interfere with administrative matters. Doesn't that mean Xie Xuan has the final say?
"Okay, I'll go out after nine o'clock."
Eight o'clock in the morning was also the scheduled time for the radio station to send reports. She didn't have to send reports, she just had to turn on the phone to receive reports.
When Xie Xuan arrived at the office in the morning, as soon as he walked in, a Japanese man in a suit walked in outside the door. He took one look and immediately showed a look of relief: "Okamura-kun, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came to Nantong? Woolen cloth?"
Seeing Okamura, his heart tightened. He had to take action today, and Okamura suddenly came. Is there any connection with this?
"I heard that the work of cleaning up rural areas in northern Jiangsu has been done very well, so I came here specially to take a look."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Not much has been achieved yet. We have just built hundreds of miles of fences and added more than a hundred strongholds. When we fence all the main roads in Qingxiang District, the anti-Japanese elements will There will be no soil for survival, and they can only be turtles in a urn, at our disposal."
The bamboo fence used for blockade is usually two or three meters high, inserted into the soil two or three feet deep, with thick soil on both sides, and a ditch is dug outside the bamboo fence.
Outside the blockade, a stronghold will be set up every few hundred meters. Security forces and people from the Qingxiang Brigade will be stationed in it, often cooperating with the Japanese army in raids.
When he first arrived in Nantong, Xie Xuan asked Ma Tian to prepare five million moso bamboos for bamboo fences.
"Do you have time today, Xie Sang? I want to see your bamboo fence."
Xie Xuan said: "I'm afraid it won't work today. There is a general of the Kuomintang army who is interested in cooperating with us. I will have a meeting with him today. If Okamura is interested, he can participate together. If he knows that Japanese people are participating, he will definitely be more interested. I am willing to join Mr. Wang’s peace movement.”
He had an intuition that Okamura suddenly came to Nantong not to see his bamboo fence, but probably also for Zou Zhengji.
As for why Okamura knew, it was naturally Liu Jing who informed him.
Xie Xuan was very curious, how did Liu Jing contact Okamura? I don’t know if Kato Hajime is here, otherwise Kato Hajime could provide some valuable clues.
Okamura said: "Okay."
Because of Okamura's appearance, Xie Xuan's plan needs to change, but now he can't contact Gu Jiahan, and he can't change it even if he wants to.
Xie Xuan only hoped that Gu Jiahan would not call at this time, or come directly to the Qingxiang Chief's Office in Northern Jiangsu to find him.
It's just that some things you don't want to happen happen, but they happen.
