Ma Tian really couldn't keep a secret in front of Liu Jing, unless he deliberately kept it secret. Even so, as long as Liu Jing asked, he would always answer the question.
Including the things between him and Xie Xuan, or the things he did for Xie Xuan.
When Liu Jing asked, Ma Tian told everything about Xie Xuan's arrangement.
After listening to this, Liu Jing pondered and said, "Director Xie's arrangement is quite reasonable."
She is now doubting her mission. Xie Xuan has no problem at all. People keep an eye on the Tonghai Self-Defense Group as if they were guarding against thieves.
As for Ma Tian, although he helped Xie Xuan do many shameful things, he and Xie Xuan did not make any mistakes of principle.
If the agents of the Secret Service are neither greedy nor selfish, then there will really be a problem.
"When have boss's arrangements been unreasonable? You should go to bed early. I have to go to Tonghai to negotiate with Yan Jingtao tomorrow, and I may not be back in the evening."
Liu Jing leaned on Ma Tian's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Can you take me with you when you go to negotiate? I want to see what the Communist Party looks like and whether it has three heads and six arms."
Ma Tian said with concern: "There is nothing interesting in Tonghai, why are you going to suffer like this?"
He felt sorry for Liu Jing and didn't want her to go out with him and suffer.
Liu Jing smiled and said: "Wherever you go, I want to go. This is called the husband singing and the wife following."
Ma Tian hugged Liu Jing, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Okay, as my husband, I will take you to Tonghai."
At the same time, Xie Xuan was also chatting with Gu Jiahan.
Xie Xuan said: "This is the latest telegram. You can go out with me to send it later."
Since knowing Liu Jing's true identity, he has stopped sending reports at home and has switched to sending reports on the move in the car.
Although Gu Jiahan was puzzled, she could only obey. Xie Xuan was her superior, and her superior's words were orders.
Of course, you have to go out to send a newspaper, but you can receive it at home.
Gu Jiahan asked: "Is it Yan Jingtao's business?"
Xie Xuan said: "Yes, I asked them to open their mouths wider when negotiating tomorrow, and Ma Tian will agree."
Gu Jiahan said angrily: "You can only imagine the idea of asking Yan Jingtao to surrender. Yan Jingtao really has no backbone and is willing to be a puppet soldier in order to improve the living environment."
"He didn't really surrender. In order to fight the war, the soldiers of Yan Jingtao's tribe did not have enough food and clothing. Many soldiers did not even have a pair of shoes. How could such an army fight against the Japanese? As long as they cooperate well, not only can they survive After the recent crisis, we can still take a good rest for a while. After replenishing the equipment, the troops will be well rested. When the time comes, we can bring them back. Their combat effectiveness will be strengthened and they will be able to fight the Japanese army better. Why not?"
Gu Jiahan said: "What if those soldiers are really willing to be traitors? You are destroying their political future with your own hands."
Xie Xuan said: "If our warriors can't even withstand this tempting consideration, then they are not our warriors at all."
The next day, Ma Tian took Liu Jing to Tonghai. Before leaving, he specifically reported to Xie Xuan:
Ma Tian said: "Boss, Liu Jing wants to go to Tonghai with me. I will take her with me. Can you ask for leave?"
Xie Xuan said disapprovingly: "It's normal for you and your husband to love each other and go in and out together. That's right."
Since Ma Tian got married, his way of getting along with Ma Tian has changed.
There are some things that I can't tell Ma Tian, and there are some things that I can't let him do.
But there are some things that must be told to Ma Tian, and there are some things that he must do.
Ma Tian said: "Thank you for your understanding, boss."
Liu Jing is the deputy director of the Confidentiality Division of the Qingxiang Office in Northern Jiangsu. When she leaves Nantong, she still needs Xie Xuan's permission.
Ma Tian and Liu Jing met Yan Jingtao soon after arriving at Tonghai.
Yan Jingtao welcomed Ma Tian's intention. She introduced the Tonghai Self-Defense Regiment. There were more than 600 people in total. This unit, if it were with the national army, could be directly organized into a division.
Yan Jingtao did not refuse Ma Tian's conditions, but he also made his own request: "It's okay to train, and it's okay to not bring weapons. After all, our weapons are falling behind. After the training, we must replace them with the latest weapons." . Anyone who dares to deduct their military pay is going to mutiny."
Ma Tian said: "Our weapons are not the latest. We can only say that they are usable. They are probably 80% new."
Yan Jingtao smiled and said: "As long as it's better than what we have now, I don't care about old or new, as long as we can replace our Hanyang-made model with the latest Chinese model."
His troops still used semi-primitive weapons. The ones made in Hanyang are considered good, and some warriors are still using broadswords.
Ma Tian asked: "So, Mr. Yan has agreed to all our conditions?"
Yan Jingtao said: "You dare to come to Tonghai to negotiate with me and agree to my request. You are so sincere and I have no reason to refuse."
Last night, he received an order from his superiors, telling him to speak like a lion.
Yan Jingtao was a little worried at first. The conditions he offered were too high. What if he was rejected?
However, seeing that Ma Tian immediately agreed without even considering his conditions, Yan Jingtao suddenly regretted that he should have opened his mouth again.
Yan Jingtao betrayed under orders. The way he accepted the mission before was mainly through traffic officers, but in the future he may have to rely on himself.
In order not to regret too much, Yan Jingtao decided to increase the conditions from time to time.
Let's take care of it as it comes. If the superiors propose such a crazy plan, they will naturally have a back-up plan. He doesn't have to think about it at all, he just needs to get the benefits.
Facing the raids by the Japanese and puppets, Yan Jing Taobu's life was very difficult. The soldiers had not had a full meal for a long time.
As for the weapons, there were only a few that were useful, and they were still short of bullets. If they could take this opportunity to update the troops' weapons, Yan Jingtao felt that the rebellion would be worth it.
Ma Tian smiled and said: "Mr. Yan's decision is correct. Many years from now, you will definitely be proud of today's decision."
The negotiations with Yan Jingtao went smoothly. As long as Yan Jingtao was willing to accept the adaptation, other things were secondary issues.
After returning to Nantong, Ma Tian directly reported Yan Jingtao's behavior to Xie Xuan.
Ma Tian said: "This time Yan Jingtao proposed two hundred thousand kilograms of grain, a new rifle, and a guarantee of five hundred rounds of ammunition for each person. I agreed to these conditions."
"Do you want any other weapons?"
Ma Tian smiled and said: "He is probably afraid of poverty and wants everything."
Xie Xuan said: "As long as his unit is under the surveillance of the Japanese army, giving him more weapons is nothing. From now on, you have to keep an eye on this unit. Once the situation changes, you must grasp it as soon as possible."
Ma Tian responded: "Okay."
However, he also has many responsibilities, so he may not have the time or energy to do too many other things.
"Liu Jing, how was your time in Tonghai? You didn't ignore me, did you?"
